Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 5
Summer nights on the Loess Plateau were as cool as autumn, and the army escorting the first emperor's coffin stagnated in Diao Yin for a temporary rest.

Luoshui soup washed the river bank, and most of the lights in the camp had been extinguished, only the torches in the hands of the night patrol soldiers flickered in the night.

During the march of the Chinese army, Fusu moved his stiff shoulders after reviewing the documents sent by Nanhai County Lieutenant Ren Xiao asking for food and asking for corvees to repair the Lingqu.

Huh, it's finally done! 120 catties, one catty is not too much and one catty is not less...Being the emperor is indeed a first-class drudgery in the world... Fortunately, the memory of Fusu has been integrated, otherwise how many modern seal scripts are used for official document writing in this era? People recognize it!Fusu put down the brush in his hand, and asked several servants to take out the bamboo slips piled up on the desk.

"Is Your Majesty always like this?" Fu Su turned his head and looked at a figure in plain clothes kneeling at the head.

"Yes, sir!" The figure nodded and replied.

Under the flickering candlelight, it was the former prime minister, Li Si.

Anyone who is familiar with Li Si will find that despite his age, the hale and hearty prime minister seems to have disappeared, replaced by a senile old man.

"Why did you choose Hu Hai?" Fusu asked abruptly.

Li Si was silent for a while, then said:

"When the criminal minister was a teenager, he once saw an interesting thing."

"There is a kind of rat that hides in the toilet and eats filthy things. This kind of rat is easily frightened and will hide in fright when it finds someone. There is also a kind of rat that hides in the rice warehouse and eats rice. They are used to high-quality rice. In life, when people come, they will not run away in a hurry, because they want to live a life of luxury."

After finishing speaking, Li Si lowered his head and said nothing.

The ancients were not good at this point, they didn’t say anything clearly, and they always asked you to realize it yourself!In order to keep his own status and wealth, he chose to cooperate with Zhao Gao, but in the end he still didn't keep anything. Isn't this kind of desperate?All life is suffering, Amen!
Fu Su smiled, and then asked:

"Do you know what to do with you?"

"The car is cracked, the Zhu family."

"No, I am different from Your Majesty." After Fusu finished speaking, he waved his hand.

Two iron eagle warriors hiding in the darkness immediately came out and 'invited' Li Si who wanted to ask a question.

He didn't intend to deal with Li Si according to the laws of Qin.

The main reason is that Li Si has been the prime minister for so many years, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. Once he gets involved too much, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the public, which will accelerate the sinking of the giant ship Daqin.

Moreover, the first emperor did not establish a queen or prince during his lifetime, so according to the etiquette that has been used for hundreds of thousands of years, he, the eldest son, is the heir to the throne!

The most important thing is that with the support of the Nine Plains Army, which has the strongest combat power in the empire, he returned to the coffin. This not only occupied the high ground of etiquette, but also was full of virtue!

Although Xianyang City has a strong army, it does not have a strong city. Therefore, as long as the princes in the court have a little sense, there will be no scenes of convincing people with virtue!

……

Xianyang City.

Meng Tian personally led 5000 elite cavalry to help Su and arrived in Xianyang one step ahead. After readjusting the deployment of Xianyang's army with a tiger talisman, he summoned the ministers headed by Prime Minister Feng Quji in Xianyang Palace.

A moment later, when he announced the death of the first emperor and the news of Li Si, Zhao Gao and others' coercion, there was a series of shouting and cursing in the hall, and the crying sound that almost collapsed the girder.

Feng Quji did not do what the others did. Instead, he grabbed Meng Tian and asked, "Where is Mr. Fusu?"

"Prime Minister, don't worry." Meng Tian said with a solemn expression, "My lord has punctured the plot of the rebellious minister, and now he is walking back along the straight road to help the coffin!"

"That's good, that's good!" Feng Quji stroked the beard on his chin, and sighed: "Fortunately, His Majesty's mausoleum has basically been completed, otherwise..."

"Why are you crying? Is this the time for mourning?" Feng Jie, the official censor, shouted violently: "At this time, we and other ministers and ministers should work together to stabilize Daqin! The first important thing now is to discuss how to serve His Majesty. Funeral!"

"In addition, Ting Wei's Mansion immediately sent people to capture the family members of Zhao Gao and Li Si, and imprison them first, and punish them after His Majesty's funeral!"

"I'll go right away..." Ting Wei Yao Jia nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Meng Tian yelled: "Wait a minute, Lieutenant Ting! You have ordered that only Zhao Gao's family be arrested, and Li Si's family will be detained by Lang Zhongling."

"Really?" Yao Jia was stunned for a moment: "Well, I understand!"

After a while, the ministers finished their discussions.

Right Prime Minister Feng Quji still stayed in Xianyang, presided over daily affairs and prepared for the funeral of the first emperor.

Fengchang, Zongzheng, and Shaofu each sent officials to the hearse of the First Emperor to obey orders.

So, half a month has passed...

Xianyang Zhidao, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, and the Ying clan who came from all over the country were completely naked, welcoming a generation of heroes to return to Xianyang again and for the last time.

beep!
A low-pitched horn sounded, and a team of infantry wrapped in white cloth on their captain's halberds passed by.

Afterwards, the hearse carrying the first emperor came slowly amidst the continuous sound of horns and drums.

……

After the lengthy ceremony, the coffin of the First Emperor was slowly pushed into the unfinished mausoleum.

After helping Su with a sad face and crying until he fainted, he was carried to the temporary arbor by several servants under the admiring eyes of the ministers and clans who attended the funeral.

Phew, it's finally over, Nima, this is too cumbersome... Fu Su quietly opened his eyes and found that there was no one else in the awning, so he was slightly relieved.

But the funeral was not over yet, it was really the fault of Zhao Gao and others, if they were not buried in the mausoleum, the whole city of Xianyang would smell it!

Next, it's time to prepare for the canonization ceremony of the crown prince, followed by the enthronement ceremony, which is another extremely cumbersome etiquette!Otherwise, let Shu Suntong design a simpler set?But the distance can't quench the near thirst, even if he designed it, I can't use it... By the way, I haven't been home for so many years, I don't know if the grieving wives at home are still the same as before?Well, I hope it doesn't make me happy to be a father!Fusu lay on the bed, remembering the scene of meeting Ziying before.

Good guy, this buddy who is said to be his son in later generations is about the same age as him!And the son is about to have a son!

But this is not the most important thing, the most urgent thing is how to arrange the large group of concubines of the First Emperor!

Well, those who have sons and daughters can follow the rules of later generations and let their children pick them up, but remarriage should be impossible...

Haha, the rules of future generations...Fu Su suppressed his laughter.

However, it is necessary to end the filial piety period as soon as possible, personally take charge of the military and political power, and the right to appoint and dismiss officials with more than a thousand stones.

Later, I will find Shusun Tong to revise the rules, and refer to the rules of later generations, the emperor will change the moon with the sun! The filial piety period ends in 27 days!
