Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 405 Zhao Si will definitely kneel down and acknowledge her relatives!

"Me?" Ji Chang patted his clothes, rubbed his dark hands several times but couldn't get them clean, and felt a little at a loss.

"It's you, my father-in-law, please come with us!"

The palace man saluted again. Ji Chang wanted to change his clothes, but he was afraid of delaying the king's life. After muttering for a while, he did not dare to speak and followed the palace man into the palace.

……

"Your Majesty, Ji Chang has been brought here."

Inside the palace, Qian bowed and spoke.

"Bring it in." The First Emperor nodded.

After a while, Ji Chang came to the palace under the leadership of Qian. As soon as he entered the palace, Ji Chang immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Ji Chang, a common man, comes to see Your Majesty!"

Ji Chang had never met any big shot, and it was the first time he had such close contact with the First Emperor. Although he knew that Zhao Si he had picked up had become the closest minister to the First Emperor, he still maintained absolute awe for the First Emperor in his heart.

"No need to be polite, just sit down and talk." The First Emperor waved his hand.

Ji Chang did not dare to refuse. He knelt down upright and hid his dark hands in his sleeves. He lowered his head and did not dare to look directly. His waist was straight and he sat upright, not daring to move.

He didn't dare to take the initiative to speak, so he could only wait here quietly for the First Emperor's inquiry.

"It's nothing important to call you into the palace today. I just want to ask you something. Don't be too nervous." The First Emperor spoke softly, relaxing the atmosphere.

"Please ask Your Majesty, I will tell you everything I know." Ji Chang said respectfully.

"It's like this. I heard that Zhao Si was not a biological child of the Ji family, but was adopted by you. Is that true?" asked the First Emperor.

"Yes."

Ji Chang was a little silent when he mentioned the past events, but he still confirmed the fact that Zhao Si was not his biological child.

"Where was it and how was it picked up? Can you tell me in more detail?" the First Emperor said in a gentle voice.

Ji Chang nodded when he heard the sound, and fell into memories. Time had passed a bit long, and Ji Chang was getting older, so it would take some time.

After a long time, Ji Chang finally spoke slowly.

"It must have been the winter more than 20 years ago. At that time, I became an upright person in the village because of my merits, and I went to inspect the villagers as usual. After inspecting the villagers, the sky was already dark, and there was still heavy snow in the sky. I rushed Get home before dark.

There was no one on the road, so I was walking alone. When I walked along the official road to the entrance of the village, I suddenly heard the laughter of children. I smelled the sound and went to see a white child squatting under a tree to take shelter. Snow, I saw that this child was alone, and his parents were not around. It was snowing so heavily and for a long time, he might freeze to death, so I took the child home to keep warm. "Ji Chang said.

"What was Zhao Si wearing when you picked him up? Did he have anything on him?" The First Emperor suddenly asked after listening in silence for a while.

Ji Chang paused and thought for a moment and then said: "Silk clothes with kapok. The clothes this child is wearing are fine silk clothes filled with kapok. I still remember it. Later, when the child grew up, the clothes did not fit him. Let Ji Cheng wear it."

The First Emperor nodded and captured a key clue and continued to ask: "Then what does Zhao Si have on him?"

"Yes, yes." Ji Chang thought for a moment and said.

"There is a wooden sign. I don't know what kind of wood it is. It looks quite expensive. It has the word "Zhao" engraved on it, and something weird is painted on the back. I heard someone said it was a blessing sign, so I always carried it with him and never left it. In addition, he also has a jade pendant tied around his waist, which looks quite extraordinary." Ji Chang thought for a moment and said.

The First Emperor paused and captured the key information point.

Wooden sign, pray for blessings.

Yu Pei!

The First Emperor knew about the wooden sign and had seen it, but he just glanced at it briefly and ignored one thing. Who would keep an ordinary wooden sign all the time?

If it is praying for blessings, the logic will be more logical.

Knowing that it is for praying, you can find the corresponding location through the pattern pattern.

You must know that the Qin Dynasty has just been unified, and the customs and habits of different places are completely different, not to mention the ways of praying for blessings in all parts of the world.

Within the same country, sacrificial customs and beliefs may vary greatly depending on the region.

The other one is...

Yu Pei!

"I have seen the wooden plaque, but where is the jade pendant?" asked the First Emperor.

"That's it..." Ji Chang was silent for a moment.

"When Zhao Si was five years old, I went hunting in the mountains and was injured by a blind bear. The doctor said I wouldn't survive. But I had two children at home. I really couldn't worry about it. The family's money was exhausted, so I was lucky enough to hang on to half my life. , and later I had to pay for it, but there was nothing I could do. I could only stand by. Zhao Sixu saw that I had taken myrrh and brought the medicine back from outside the next day. I asked carefully and found out that he used the jade pendant as a gift. That's why I have the money to prescribe medicine." When Ji Chang said this, he lowered his head in shame.

"Where is the injury? Is it so serious?" asked the First Emperor.

Ji Chang silently opened his clothes, and a scar as long as a centipede on his stomach looked shocking.

"When Blind Bear slapped me, my stomach became rotten and my intestines came out. I watched with my own eyes as the fellow villagers drove away Blind Bear and helped me put my intestines into my stomach and carry them home." Ji Chang said.

The First Emperor was stunned for a moment. It was certainly not that he lacked common sense.

It’s really no wonder that the doctors said that he didn’t have long to live.

Not to mention doctors, any normal person would probably not be able to survive if his intestines leaked out.

The First Emperor took a look and saw that he was indeed fatal. This kind of injury had almost a 100% mortality rate. Being able to turn the crisis around was almost an unrepeatable miracle.

"Where did the jade pendant go? Who did it give it to?" the First Emperor said again.

"It's a merchant from Qidi. He said his surname was Cui. He left later and will never come back if he wants to redeem himself." Ji Chang said with regret on his face.

"Your surname is Cui? Do you know more carefully?" the First Emperor asked.

"I don't know. Zhao Si was the one to do it. I asked him before he told me." Ji Chang shook his head.

The surname is Cui, Qidi? The First Emperor thought for a while, how many people named Cui were there in Qi?

There was one, but it had been destroyed and his property had been confiscated.

The property was still sealed in the palace, and the First Emperor still remembered the shock when he ransacked the Cui family and obtained nearly two years' worth of taxes.

Couldn't it be this Cui?

The First Emperor pondered for a moment and then summoned the palace people.

"Go to the treasury to find the jade pendant sealed by the Cui family. When you find it, present it together."

Qian bowed and accepted the order.

"How old was Zhao Si when he was picked up by the old man? Do you remember it clearly?" The First Emperor thought for a moment and then asked.

"How can we say this kind of thing accurately? This child Zhao Si was picked up. No one knows when he was born. I just thought he was similar to a two-year-old child in the village, so I just thought he was two years old. Later, This child has grown up quite quickly, and is much stronger than ordinary children in height and strength. I think the child was probably less than two years old at the time, but he has already recognized it, so he made the mistake." Ji Chang thought for a moment and said.

Who can say for sure about this thing? Zhao Si did not have a birth certificate when she was picked up.

The First Emperor's eyes lit up: "Zhao Si grew up very quickly?"

Ji Chang nodded and said, "Yes, but one year after I picked him up, he grew as fast as a five-year-old baby. When he was four years old, he was already like an eight-year-old child. Therefore, the villagers often don't think of him as young. Not only does he grow fast, but he is also very strong. At the age of eight, his strength was almost as strong as that of a fifteen or sixteen year old boy."

The First Emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this. Oh, it turns out that Zhao Si was only two years old when he was picked up.

This guy……

Something flashed before his eyes. The First Emperor had some expectations inexplicably even though he didn't know what he was feeling.

Ok?

After chatting for a long time and learning some details about Zhao Si's life, Qiancai led the palace servants to select the jade pendants among the stolen property of the Cui family.

Several palace attendants carried two large boxes full to the palace. When they opened the boxes, they were filled with jade pendants.

The First Emperor's forehead jumped slightly...

No matter how you look at it, the deaths of the Cui family are not unjust...

Just for decorative jade pendants, a Cui family can collect two boxes.

"Your Majesty, all the jade pendants copied from the Cui family are here." Qian bowed and returned.

"Old sir, please check carefully." The First Emperor heard the sound and spoke.

Ji Chang was silent as he looked at the two boxes full of jade pendants in front of him.

"It's been a long time, and... I'm not sure I remember whether the box..." Ji Chang didn't dare to confirm.

After all, it’s been countless years since this jade pendant was sold out, and besides, these were two boxes of jade pendants.

As for jade pendants, most styles are similar...

To put it bluntly, for more than 20 years, every jade pendant Ji Chang looked at looked similar.

"It doesn't matter, you just need to pick out what you think it looks like, don't worry."

When Ji Chang heard this, he didn't say much, and instead knelt down and began to carefully identify the jade pendants.

One, two, three...

Ji Chang would look at each piece of jade pendant for a long time, shaking his head for a while and nodding for a while. Sometimes he would take away the selected jade pendant again, and for a while he would pick out another piece from the discarded ones.

It seemed that I had picked out more than a dozen pieces, but I only saw less than half of the two boxes of jade pendants, and Ji Chang was not sure about each jade pendant.

The First Emperor was not in a hurry. He just sent someone to arrange for Ji Chang so that he would not have to worry during this period and could choose slowly. He could live in the palace temporarily before selecting, and his food could also be taken care of in the palace.

After moving to the new palace, he sent someone to inform Zhao Si.

Within a moment, Zhao Si stepped into the palace of the First Emperor.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Si!" Zhao Si bowed and saluted, then naturally knelt down in front of the First Emperor and made a cup of black tea for the First Emperor in a very familiar manner.

"What's the important matter for Your Majesty to summon your ministers to the palace?" Zhao Si tentatively spoke, but couldn't sit still.

Not long ago, the Craftsmanship Bureau came up with something good under Zhao Si's personal instruction.

Some female ornaments that are very attractive to males.

After Zhao Si used his public power for private purposes and achieved results, he couldn't wait to try it on the beautiful beauties of his own country. He also planned to promote the uniform equipment for the maids in the palace if the effect was good.

Whoever had the idea, just changed his clothes, and the palace servants sent by the First Emperor to deliver the order arrived.

Zhao Si didn't even have time to look...

"It's nothing important." The First Emperor waved his hand.

"Your Majesty just sent an envoy to convey the news if there is nothing important. Why summon ministers to the palace?" Zhao Si muttered something impatient.

"Don't want to enter the palace?" The First Emperor raised his eyebrows.

"That's not it. I'm busy with official duties. There's going to be a fight over there in Longxi. Han Xin has already led his troops out of the customs. Han Xin is my retainer after all. He is blocking Donghu and Yueshi with weak troops. I don't know what to do. Naturally, I have to Pay attention." Zhao Si casually gave a reason.

He pays attention to a ghost. Although Longxi has the most tense troops, it is also the one where Zhao Si feels most at ease.

The pinnacle combination of Han Xin + Xiang Yu.

To look at the battle report more than once would be disrespectful to these two people.

"I remember you have a wooden plaque on your body, right?" the First Emperor asked.

"Yes, here it is." Zhao Si took down the wooden plaque with the word "Zhao" engraved on it from his arms.

This thing was taken with him when he was wearing it. Zhao Si didn't look like an ordinary thing, so he kept it as a thought.

Later, when he returned to the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Si once hoped that this wooden sign would allow him to have some bloody family recognition drama with the First Emperor, so he hung the wooden sign in the most conspicuous position every time when the First Emperor summoned him.

Later, of course, nothing happened, and Zhao Si's dream was shattered, but he still carried the wooden plaque with him habitually.

and many more……

The First Emperor asked himself if he wanted a wooden sign?

Could it be that after so long, the First Emperor finally remembered something?

Could it be that I finally remembered that time on the shore of Daming Lake...

Zhao Si's eyes flashed with anticipation.

If I remember correctly...he was picked up.

The First Emperor took the wooden sign of Mosuo and found that the wood was indeed good, but he could not tell what kind of wood it was. He turned to look at Zhao Si, and was surprised to find that Zhao Si was staring at Mosuo with an inexplicable light in his eyes. The Somu brand's self.

"Why are you staring at me?" The First Emperor frowned slightly.

Zhao Si shrank his neck for no reason and said cautiously: "Your Majesty...did you remember something?"

...It belongs to slipping to the knees.

But Zhao Si didn't have any psychological burden.

Objectively speaking, after returning to Qin, the closeness of the First Emperor to Zhao Si was obvious to everyone in the world.

And that kind of closeness goes beyond being a monarch and a minister, and is more like a family member.

Later, the reason why Zhao Si was loyal to Qin and took state affairs as his own business was because the First Emperor was perhaps Zhao Si's only emotional anchor after time travel.

Zhao Si has many brothers and friends, but there is only one elder who is truly close to him.

Yes, he couldn't replace his original family emotions. After all, he was at sea after time travel, never got along with Ji Chang Jicheng, and didn't inherit his body memory.

But he was actually taken care of and trained by the First Emperor for so many years.

The First Emperor was the only one who specially gave him a red envelope on the first day of the first lunar month in this era when the New Year was celebrated on the first day of October.

And it happens every year! I didn’t even ask Zhao Si why he had such unreasonable thoughts and needs!

If it was really a bloody battle, then Zhao Si would definitely kneel down and recognize her!
