In order for Yu Ji to be the pilot of the Gundam, Big Brother Zheng had promised to be the Imperial Celestial Master and the title of King. He had even given Yu Ji the entire Nine Counties of Chu. This generous treatment was boundless. Even the generals and strategists who had contributed greatly to the unification of the Great Qin Empire did not have such treatment. The surrounding researchers were all drooling when they heard this.
But-
However, Tang Hao rolled his eyes because as far as he was concerned, this was a business that had no cost at all.
Imperial Celestial Master?
Yu Ji had already promised to teach Ying Yinman swordsmanship. She was originally the Imperial Celestial Master. Although this was more justifiable, there was no difference in essence.
King with a different surname?
This didn't seem to be any different from the Imperial Celestial Master, except that it sounded more noble. Could it be that Yu Ji would really become a King or a Marquis?
As for the Nine Counties of Chu that made countless palace officials drool, although it was nominally given to Yu Ji by Emperor Qin, with Yu Ji's personality and temper, would she really go to Chu to govern the Nine Counties? In the end, this piece of land still needed to be managed by the people of Qin Shi Huang, and it still belonged to Emperor Qin. Yu Ji only received the dispensable title of Overlord of Chu.
The First Emperor of Qin had only moved his lips, and he had not suffered any losses at all. On the other hand, he had obtained a limitless power bank like Yu Ji to serve Great Qin. It was like getting something for nothing.
The reason why he had promised these benefits to Yu Ji so generously was probably because he had seen through Yu Ji's personality. If it was any other civil or military official, they probably wouldn't even be able to get a King with a different surname, let alone the Nine Counties of Chu.
To sum it all up, the rotten old man was very bad!
Of course, there was one thing that wasn't wrong – with the titles of Heavenly Teacher and Hegemon of Western Chu, even if she didn't have any real power, Yu Ji's status was incredibly noble. Her status was even higher than that of princes and princesses. As long as Great Qin didn't fall, no one would dare to do anything to her, and she would be able to obtain the comfortable environment she wanted.
Thinking about it, no one would lose out in this deal.
The next day, Tang Hao and Yu Ji woke up early and prepared to go to court to receive the reward. Suddenly, he saw that Yu Ji was still dressed like a dancer. Tang Hao immediately called out to her.
"Wait, you plan to go like this?"
"Is there a problem?" Yu Ji asked.
"Of course there is a problem." Tang Hao hurriedly pulled her back. "If Big Brother Zheng was just conferring you the title of a musician or a court dancer, it wouldn't be a problem for you to dress like this. But now that he's conferring you the title of a king with a different surname and you're dressed like a dancer, it's too much against the rules. I reckon that a bunch of people will fight to the death to remonstrate."
Yu Ji also knew that there were many rules in the imperial court, so she couldn't help but frown, "You humans are really troublesome."
"Although it's a little troublesome, it's still a country of etiquette. Since you're starting to integrate into human society, you should be more polite. At least give Brother Zheng some face and don't make things too difficult for him."
"... Alright." Yu Ji sighed, "Then tell me, what clothes should I wear?"
"Well …" Tang Hao scratched his head. In fact, he felt that the biggest problem was not the clothes, but the gender. He did not know if this was the first time in China's history that a woman with a different surname had been bestowed with the title "Wang", but it was definitely a big event that could shake the entire society. Perhaps it was necessary to disguise her gender like Ahoge.
"Palace maid? Where are the palace maids? "Thinking of this, he immediately shouted a few times.
Very quickly, two palace maids ran over from the courtyard, bowed and said, "Young master, what can I do for you?"
"Hmm, it's like this. We are about to go to court to meet His Majesty. You guys help Miss Yu … No! Help this Young Master Yu dress up. "
"Young Master Yu?"
The two palace maids raised their heads and looked at Yu Ji in a daze.
"That's right, it's Young Master Yu!" Tang Hao said seriously, "I want you to dress her up like a general, mighty and majestic … Oh, no, don't be majestic, but you must be heroic. Come, come, come, let's do it together …"
With that, Tang Hao pulled Yu Ji and walked directly into the room.
Although the two palace maids did not understand, they still followed.
An hour later, Yu Ji stood in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror in disbelief. The person in the mirror was wearing a black robe with a red belt around his waist. His figure was plump and his long hair was tied up. He wore a martial crown and looked like a noble young master.
"This … Is it really me?" Yu Ji had never worn such clothes before, and even she couldn't recognize herself.
"Of course it's Aunt Yu … No, Young Master Yu, it's you."
"That's right, Young Master Yu is so handsome."
The two palace maids giggled, looking at Yu Ji, a trace of blushing actually flashed across their faces.
"But it's a little tight." Yu Ji adjusted her belt. Although the clothes chosen by the palace maids were perfect for her figure, she was still not used to it. Especially the chest wrapping cloth, it even made her feel a little stuffy.
"I won't have to wear this all the time in the future, right?" Yu Ji turned her head and asked Tang Hao.
Tang Hao retracted his gaze and laughed: "That's not necessary, there aren't many people who know you anyway. Normally, you can wear whatever you want, but for a formal occasion like today, it would be best to dress up like this, it would save you a lot of trouble."
"Tsk!" Yu Ji curled her lips, "If I knew it would be so troublesome, I wouldn't have agreed to be the first emperor's driver."
"Even if you want to go back on your word now, it's too late …" Tang Hao laughed, then warned the two palace maids, "His Majesty has already given the order to keep this matter secret, the two of you are not allowed to spread the news, otherwise you will be beheaded, do you understand?"
"Yes, this servant will not spread the news!" The palace maids nodded repeatedly.
After that, Tang Hao accompanied Yu Ji to the imperial court. In front of all the civil and military officials, Qin Shi Huang immediately gave the order to confer Yu Ji the title of Imperial Heavenly Master, Western Chu Tyrant, and Great General of the Western Expedition.
Of course, such a title was bestowed to an unknown man surnamed Yu, so it was naturally met with strong opposition from the civil and military officials. Emperor Qin couldn't just slap them all to the ground, so he argued with them one by one. After all, the Emperor couldn't do whatever he wanted, and the Emperor who did whatever he wanted was basically overturned by the carriage.
Listening to the discussions of the civil and military officials, Tang Hao was thinking about something else.
In order to change history, he had come to the Great Qin Era. So far, he had indeed changed a lot. After all, Xiang Yu was gone, but the Western Chu Tyrant hadn't disappeared. It felt like … The wheels of history had gone off the rails, went around in circles outside, and then ran back?
In the words of the broken stone, this was probably the retraction of the world line.
However, it was still unknown what kind of impact Yu Ji, the female version of the Western Chu Tyrant, would bring to the Great Qin and the history of this era.
And very quickly, Tang Hao no longer had time to think about this question.
