Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 109: You are using us as a whetstone!

Suddenly, a shout rang out in the hall.

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Okay! No matter who leads the army, as long as you can pacify the remnants of the six kingdoms, you will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone knelt on the ground.

"Stand up!" Ying Zheng raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone stood up.

"Exhort Han Xin and Long Ju!" Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

Soon, Han Xin and Long Qie were brought in by the guards.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" Han Xin and Long Ju knelt on one knee and bowed.

Ying Zheng asked: "Thank you for your hard work, my dear ministers. How did this trip go?"

Han Xin said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and conquered the southernmost land!"

"Good!" Ying Zheng praised.

"I am willing to continue to expand the territory for the Qin Dynasty!" Han Xin said in a deep voice.

"I am willing to go too!" Long Qie said in a deep voice.

Ying Zheng asked, "Well! You two are both very loyal and brave! Han Xin, do you know anything about the remnants of the six kingdoms?"

"I've heard a little about it!" Han Xin nodded.

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Appoint Han Xin as Marquis of Huaiyin, and Long Ju as Marquis of Baizhan. The two of you will set out immediately and lead 100,000 soldiers to conquer the remnants of the six kingdoms!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Han Xin and Long Ju bowed to the ground again.

"Stand up!" Ying Zheng raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Han Xin and Long Qie stood up.

"Do you have any objections, my dear ministers?" Ying Zheng swept his majestic gaze over the crowd.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for having such a good general!" Feng Jie and Meng Yi stood up.

In the Qilin Hall, Feng Jie and Meng Yi stood on both sides of Ying Zheng. Neither of them had any objection to Ying Zheng's decision, and naturally the other ministers did not dare to have any objection either.

"Retreat!"

As Ying Zheng left, everyone congratulated Han and Long!

Han Xin and Long Ju stood in the court, watching the ministers leave one by one. They looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"What does your majesty mean?" Long Qie asked in a deep voice.

"I can't figure it out!" Han Xin shook his head.

"The two of us are just two unknown people. Your Majesty has ascended to heaven and earth to reward us generously. Wouldn't it make all the civil and military officials in the court feel disheartened?" Long Qie looked puzzled.

"Let's go, we will go and ask for advice!" Han Xin said in a deep voice.

"That's exactly what I meant!" Long Qie nodded.

Han Xin walked on the avenue of Xianyang Palace in silence all the way. There were three reasons why Ying Zheng did this.

First: to stimulate the sense of competition among civil and military officials, because only with competition can there be progress; second: to use the two as whetstones to sharpen other generals; third: to kill the spirit of the six countries.

But the consequence of doing so is that the whole court will be full of enemies!

Han Xin understood what was happening and raised the corner of his mouth. He looked at the officials with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, look..." Feng Jie looked shocked.

"It doesn't matter. I want to see how far this boy can grow!" Ying Zheng said calmly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for gaining another great general!" Meng Yi said in a deep voice.

"These two people are promising talents!" Ying Zheng nodded.

"Your Majesty, you might as well observe it again!" Feng Jie echoed.

……

Meng Yi looked mysterious: "I just came back from the palace, guess what?"

Sima Xin laughed and said, "Could it be that Han Xin was named Marquis of Huaiyin and Long Ju was named Marquis of Baizhan?"

"Do you already know?" Meng Yi looked puzzled.

"That's right!" Sima Xin nodded.

"Han Xin's talent is not inferior to yours and mine, and Long Ju's ability makes him a rare and powerful general!" Zhang Han commented.

Meng Yi asked: "Do you all think so?"

"That's right!" Zhang Han and others nodded.

"When will you return, sir?" Meng Yi changed the subject.

Zhang Han smiled and said, "A letter has been delivered. It will take about a month!"

"It feels so awkward without the master here!" Meng Yi sighed.

"Yes, without the master's supervision, I would feel uncomfortable all over!" Zhang Han echoed.

"Haha..." The two burst into laughter.

……

"Brother, why do you think His Majesty rewards us so generously?"

Han Xin said calmly: "It's very simple, he is using us as a whetstone!"

"Then why do you agree to it?" Long Qie looked puzzled.

Han Xin said in a deep voice: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger. If the court is full of mediocre people, it would be really boring!"

"Brother, aren't you afraid?" Long Qie asked.

"What are you afraid of? At worst, I can start over again!" Han Xin looked indifferent.

Long Qie said with a smile: "Brother, if you are not afraid, I am not afraid either!"

"You, you!" Han Xin smiled helplessly.

"Brother, you were very nervous just now!" Long Qie said suddenly.

Han Xin said seriously: "Of course, you and I just had a close call with death!"

"Not really?" Long Qie was a little unconvinced.

"The fate of both you and me is in the hands of others. Do you think it is necessary?" Han Xin glanced at Long Ju.

"Let's go!" Han Xin raised his hand.

"Where are we going?" Long Qie looked confused.

"Of course, I'm going to visit you, sir!" Han Xin glared at Long Qie.

"Yes, yes, yes, I have to thank you very much, sir. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today!" Long Qi nodded, but they would definitely be in vain this time.

After a month of traveling, the dusty Lin Anlan walked to the dental clinic and asked, "Boss, last time I came here, do you have a suitable maid?"

"Girl, you're here!" The boss came over in a hurry, looking apologetic, "I'm really sorry, you weren't satisfied with those girls last time, and there haven't been any good ones recently!"

"It's okay, I'll go look somewhere else!" Lin Anlan looked disappointed.

"Goodbye, girl!" The boss escorted Lin Anlan out of the dental shop.

"Oh!" Lin Anlan sighed.

As a time traveler, you can't even find a suitable maid. Lin Anlan, oh, Lin Anlan, you are really going backwards the more you live.

"Boss, if you find any good stuff, remember to notify me. I have a big reward!" Lin Anlan reminded.

The boss nodded and said, "Don't worry, girl. As long as there is good stuff, I will inform you as soon as possible!"

"Sorry to trouble you!" Lin Anlan looked helpless.

"You're welcome, young lady!" The boss bowed.

Along the way, Lin Anlan wandered around the street bored.

"Look what I found?"

"I know this, it's a map!"

"What is this?"

"This is the world map!" a young child said in a baby voice.

"You are wrong. This place should be called Australia. There are many rare and exotic animals here. The land is vast and sparsely populated. Our Qin cavalry will surely trample it!" another child retorted.

"You're talking nonsense!" The first child who spoke obviously didn't believe it.

"How can it be false if it is taught by the teacher?" another child retorted unconvinced.

"Huh, I don't believe it. Let's go ask the teacher!" The first child who spoke pulled another child and ran towards the classroom.

"These children are probably only four or five years old!" Lin Anlan was shocked. It was really cause for celebration that the universal education in Daqin had achieved such results in just a few years.

"It would be great if everyone in the world could read!" Lin Anlan looked longing.
