Chapter 131 Zhao Si’s life experience and the thoughts of the First Emperor.

"Dunwei..." The First Emperor looked behind the screen.

A figure walked out from behind the screen.

The First Emperor played with the bamboo tube handed over by Dun Rui, his face full of amusement.

"Zhao Si, formerly known as Ji Si, was originally from Chelinli, Xiaye Township. He was an orphan and was adopted by Ji Chang. He has a younger brother, Ji Cheng." He spoke weakly and then looked at the First Emperor.

"After Zhao Si returned to the Qin Dynasty, he did not recognize each other. According to the crew, when he was out at sea, he encountered a storm and Zhao Si's head hit the mast. The crew mostly knew his name as Si, but did not know his surname, so they named themselves Zhao Si.

.”

The First Emperor nodded and crossed his legs while kneeling.

"What else?"

"The overseas crew have never seen Qu Yuanli. In addition, this is a calculation book written by Zhao Si. It is based on what they learned overseas, and the crew has no impression of it." Dunruo replied.

"In addition, after Jichang and Jicheng learned that the fleet had returned to Qin, they visited Chehou. It should be Zhao Si who wanted to go to sea for military service. However, because Zhao Si changed his name, nothing gained, and the new

During the grain harvest, Ji Cheng was drafted because of his tall stature and outstanding appearance. He must have met Zhao Si, but he did not recognize him. It must have been too long and he did not recognize him." Dunruo replied.

"So, Zhao Si didn't learn about Qu Yuanli, arithmetic, salt making, stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes from overseas?" The First Emperor had an intriguing smile on his face.

"Probably not, and according to the crew of the Fusang gold and silver mine, Xu Fu actually didn't find anything when he stagnated Fusang. It may just be the words of Zhao Shilang's family." Dunwei nodded.

"That means... there are experts teaching you?" The First Emperor looked at Dunruo.

"Probably not. According to my investigation, after Zhao Si went to sea, he basically got along with the crew day and night, sharing life and death... However, according to the crew, Zhao Shilang did know a lot. He knew a lot of things since he was a child, including seizing ships and going to sea.

A series of things such as itinerary planning are all handled by Zhao Shilang alone." He paused and spoke in a deep voice.

"Then how did Zhao Si realize these truths?" The First Emperor turned his head and looked at Dunrui.

"I dare not speak nonsense!" Dunruo shook his head with a serious look.

After Dun was weak, he became the official of Qing Dynasty. He participated in lobbying Han and Wei to win over the ministers in charge of the two countries. After arriving at Yan and Zhao, he implemented a counter-insurgency strategy and got rid of Zhao general Li Mu. The King of Qi established the Qin, Yan, Zhao, and Wei

The four kingdoms of Korea all surrendered to the Qin State, and they were all planned and led by Dun Wenwei.

He once personally established a spy agency that was terrifying and could kill without sight, stole a large amount of intelligence for the Qin Dynasty, and participated in the disintegration of the Six Kingdoms Alliance many times.

It was not until the unification of the Qin Dynasty that Dun's weakness turned from overt to dark, and the spy agency under his command was disbanded, leaving only the core personnel who directly obeyed the orders of the First Emperor.

Regarding Zhao Si, this young man whom he particularly favored, and the good medicine for his physical recovery, the cautious nature of the First Emperor could not accept Zhao Si's statement that he had forgotten his place of origin.

In other words, even if Zhao Si really forgot, the First Emperor still wanted to know Zhao Si's place of origin and life experience.

The First Emperor never completely trusted anyone, so when new grains were produced and the First Emperor decided to train Zhao Si, Dunwei's investigation had already begun.

The First Emperor discovered the loopholes in Zhao Si's words very early on.

Everything that exists must have traces!

Especially under Great Qin's strict transmission system.

If Zhao Si's native place is outside Guanzhong, it may take a lot of effort, but Zhao Si's native place is Guanzhong, and the group of characters is relatively fixed. The boys who enlisted in the army at that time, under the weak arrangement, passed the examination system and documents

Guanzhong, which has the most detailed records, is given priority as the direction for platooning.

Dunruo quickly figured out Zhao Si's life experience. For Dunruo, this was not even a troublesome matter except for being a bit complicated.

"Back off..."

The First Emperor waved his hand, and Dun Rui's figure left the palace. The First Emperor looked at the report compiled by Dun Rui in front of him with a serious expression.

Place of birth...Guanzhong.

The First Emperor knew where Che Linli was in Xiaye Township.

It is not too far from Xianyang, the center of power of the Qin Dynasty, but the terrain is not good and it is located in a mountainous area.

But no matter how you say it, Zhao Si can be regarded as an old Qin native with upright roots and a bright future.

"Ji Si, Zhao Si..." The First Emperor smiled and suddenly remembered the wooden plaque that Zhao Si once hung around his waist.

The First Emperor's physical condition has been in good condition recently and he is relatively energetic. Details that he had ignored in the past quickly came to mind.

Because Zhao Si once had a whimsical dream, and deliberately hung a wooden sign around his waist in front of the First Emperor just to see if it would trigger a bloody subplot in the novel.

Therefore, the First Emperor was really impressed by this wooden sign.

If you remember correctly, the wooden plaque around Zhao Si's waist has the character Zhao engraved on it.

Hmm...if I remember correctly, it's not Xiaozhuan or official script, but the way the character "Gu Zhao" was written before the book was written in the same text?

Zhao Si is an orphan again...

"The surname Zhao is a popular surname!" The First Emperor looked at Zhao Gao.

The Zhao surname has been associated with us for a long time. If we have to trace it back, the Qin clan’s surname is Zhao.

The royal families of Qin and Zhao all originated from Zaofu.

King Mu sent Zaofu to hunt in the west. He met the Queen Mother of the West and was so happy that he forgot to return. King Xu Yan rebelled, and King Mu galloped thousands of miles a day to attack King Xu Yan and defeated him. He gave Zaofu the city of Zhao, and Zhao was born.

country.

During the reign of King Xiao of Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Feizi, the nephew of Zaofu, was granted the title of Qin Ting due to his meritorious service, and later developed into the Qin Kingdom.

Therefore, Qin Zhao is a genuine family.

These are the two major branches of the Zhao family...and there are countless other Zhao families.

Zhao Si forgot his name. The reason why he was named after Zhao Si was probably because of the wooden sign.

So the question is, where did Zhao Si get this wooden sign? Is it his personal belongings?

There is no doubt that Ji Chang is a genuine Lao Qin native.

"Ji Si, Zhao Si... Zhao Si, Ji Si..." The First Emperor shook his head.

No matter where he came from, there is no need to think about this. Zhao Si is a genuine old Qin man, even if he is an orphan who was picked up.

Where did this strange knowledge in Zhao Si's mind come from?

Was it taught by heaven and man? Or was it known from birth? Or was it wisdom in childhood?

Zhao Si's learning ability is indeed very strong. There is no doubt about this. The First Emperor can be sure that Zhao Si's progress is very fast in a short period of study. With Zhao Si's current level, he can barely handle the affairs of a county by acting according to the law.

There aren't any big mistakes.

How long has it been since then? As a king, the First Emperor must have the ability to distinguish the other party's abilities.

Maybe Zhao Si learns quickly and is naturally smart?

Zhao Si said that Qu Yuanli and Suanshu were known from overseas, but this is not the case.

Then contact Zhao Si for his long-term overly cautious attitude and lack of youthful spirit.

"Hidden clumsiness?" The First Emperor laughed dumbly.

He could feel Zhao Si's closeness and admiration for him, but he could also feel Zhao Si's... well, his hidden fear of him?

This feeling full of contradictions made the First Emperor extremely strange.

"Zhao, an orphan?" The First Emperor shook his head.

Combined with the wooden plaque on Zhao Si's waist, it is possible that he was indeed born in the Zhao family and became an orphan by chance and was picked up by Ji Chang.

Generally speaking, the life experience of the First Emperor is quite satisfactory, which is a plus point. After all, Zhao Si was raised by genuine old Qin people. He also grew up in Guanzhong since he was a child, so he is considered to be half a good man.

There are so many Zhaos in the world... It is impossible for Zhao Si to be a direct descendant of the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom by coincidence.

"In addition... we don't rule out the possibility that Zhao Si doesn't want to go home and recognize each other." The First Emperor looked at the information compiled by Dun Ruo.

The first appointment was supposed to be Ji Chang's grandson Jicheng, and Ji Si was sent to sea. However, considering that Zhao Si did have a sudden storm and fainted, and Zhao Si's innocent nature, this possibility

It's also minimal.

"interesting……"

The First Emperor slowly walked out of the palace and looked up at the sky covered with stars.

"Tomorrow's court meeting will be more interesting." The corners of the Emperor's lips curled up.

He wanted to see what Zhao Si was hiding.

What is Zhao Si afraid of?

On the other side... Zhao Si couldn't calm down for a long time after returning home. Even after experiencing the comfort of the maids taking turns, he still felt uneasy.

Just kidding...that's Li Si...

Li Si, who is it?

The gravedigger of the great scholar Chunyu Yue!

Chunyu Yue, that was Fusu's teacher.
