Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 6
At the funeral ceremony of the first emperor, Shusun Tong, who was disliked because of his Confucianism, hid in the shade and waited for the ceremony to end.

Suddenly, he saw a few servants strolling over from a distance.

"Hey, the young master has finally returned to Xianyang, but it is necessary to observe the filial piety for three years according to the system, what should the wives do... huh huh huh..."

"That's right, the young master has no heirs yet!"

"I heard a few old servants in the palace say that in ancient times, the Emperor changed the day to the moon, and only needed to observe filial piety for 27 days. I don't know if it's true..."

……

"The emperor changes the day to the moon? 27 days?" Shu Suntong hid behind a tree, watching the little servants go further and further away.

"It seems that they said this specifically for me! Otherwise, how could the servants accompanying the young master appear in groups outside the grand ceremony?"

"This is a clear statement! Maybe this is the opportunity for Confucianism!"

"It's just that I haven't heard of any allusions about changing the sun with the moon?"

Shu Suntong frowned, and began to look for other Confucian students who were also Dr. Daizhao.

……

In the pergola, Fusu was reviewing today's 120-jin memorial, while waiting for the little servants sent out by him to come and reply.

After a while, a small servant whispered something to him, and then stood by his side, fanning the cattail fan.

……sensible!No wonder the relationship between the emperor and his servants is stronger than that of ministers and his wives and children... Fu Su gave this little servant a thumbs up in his heart.

"My lord, Ting Wei Yao Jia is asking to see you!" Eunuch Ling Han Rang's voice came from outside the coffin shed.

Ting Wei?One of the nine ministers, equivalent to the Standing Committee and Committee of later generations.What is he here for? ...Thinking of this, Fusu said:

"welcome."

"Here!"

Suddenly, Yao Jia with two beards on his face came in. After the two parties greeted each other, Yao Jia sat down on the futon on the left, exchanged a few words and asked:
"I don't know what you think about Cheng and Li Si's sentencing?"

Don't ask Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, just talk about Li Si, it seems that this is a smart person...Fu Su nodded secretly, and asked: "According to Qin Law, what should I do?"

"Eh...according to Qin law, the main culprit is Che Chai, Zhu Clan...just like Shang Jun back then..." Yao Jia replied with some hesitation.

Is this a metaphor borrowed from Shang Yang's past events?Moreover, the First Emperor and Li Si are relatives of each other's sons and daughters. If the family is punished, why not kill my nominal siblings?These old guys are really annoying, what do you think? ... Fusu, who was a straightforward engineer in his previous life, was the most annoying about this.

So, he prepared to fight poison with fire.

Fusu remained silent, staring at a bulge on the case, and began to remain silent for a long time.

Finally, when the old man on the opposite side couldn't help but want to speak, Fusu said:

"Prime Minister Li has worked for me for many years, and has contributed a lot in the war to unify the six countries. It is only because he was temporarily deceived by a traitor that he made such a big mistake."

"If the death penalty is imposed, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the court ministers..."

Yao Jia cupped his hands and asked, "Then... according to the young master's consciousness?"

Fusu raised his eyes and looked at Yao Jia: "Li Si seized the title, dismissed his chancellor, and demoted him to be a commoner. As for Li You and other Li Si's sons, let's not pursue it!"

"My lord's benevolence is the blessing of my Great Qin!" Yao Jia stood up, bent down to salute, and finally asked, "I don't know my lord, Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and Wang Li and others..."

Ododo of my fish lips!According to my previous opinion, it is natural to send the two of them on the road together, but it is different now, I am the legal successor of Daqin, and I must not bear the debuff of "killing relatives and beasts"... Fu Su pondered for a while and said:
"Zhao Gao is the chief villain, and his crime cannot be forgiven. According to the law, the confiscated property will be used to reward the soldiers who have made great achievements this time!"

And Wang Li?If he is brought to justice, the Nine Plains Army will become the Meng Family Army, and it will also offend the first general of the Qin Dynasty in disguise. , Yan, Qi four countries... Fusu thought for a while and then said:

"Wang Li disobeys orders, but seeing that his grandfather and father have made great contributions to our Great Qin, his title will be taken away. His position will not change, and he will still serve in the Jiuyuan Army. The rest of the generals will be demoted. In the Nine Plains Army!"

"As for Hu Hai, the enshrined offerings remain the same, let him guard the mausoleum for his father, and he is not allowed to step out of the dormitory without an edict!"

"Here, I'll do it now!" Yao Jia saluted again and left.

After about a few minutes, Han Rang at the door sent another message.

This time, it was Prime Minister Feng Quji and Doctor Yushi Feng Jie who came.

Two of Sangong came over at once, Fusu hurriedly stood up, tidied up his clothes, and walked out the door.

After the three greeted each other, Feng Quji said that he was unwilling to take the seat, so Fusu had no choice but to sit back in his original place, and asked, "Why did the Prime Minister and Doctor Yushi come together?"

The two were silent for a while, and Feng Jie took the lead and said, "Let me do the talking."

"I heard that in a family of five under the rule of the Great Qin, there are no fewer than two people who serve every year. The land they can plow is no more than a hundred acres, and the harvest is no more than a few hundred stones. Spring cannot escape the wind and dust, summer cannot escape the heat, and autumn cannot escape. It is cloudy and rainy, and there is no shelter from the cold in winter, and there is no day of rest between the four o'clock."

"With such hard work, the annual income is less than 4500 yuan. After deducting half of the tax (two-thirds), rations, sacrifices, and clothes, not only is there no surplus, but also a deficit of 500 yuan. I have to borrow money or help others to pay off debts." , living a difficult life.”

"The people's livelihood is so dire that it is already in such a state of decline. If you continue to build the Afang Palace and Mausoleum according to His Majesty's time, I'm afraid..."

Don't be afraid, at this time Liu Bang has already gone up the mountain, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang will learn how to bark like a fox soon... Baimu Tian, ​​at least future generations will also be rich peasants, I didn't expect to live such a miserable life here!Fusu didn't speak, but quietly listened to Feng Jie's words.

"To build the Efang Palace and Mausoleum, at least [-] people need to be recruited every year to transport rocks in the North Mountain and log in the South Mountain. The daily expenses are more than a thousand dollars! Moreover, the Great Wall in the north and the roads in various places also need people..."

Abang Palace, Mausoleum, Great Wall, Chidao... Abang Palace can be stopped for a while, and it will be rebuilt when there is a chance. It is a marvelous sight, and I like it the most... Mausoleum, since the interior is almost built, the outside project It's fine to fool around casually, brother Zheng won't rise from the coffin anyway... right?

The Great Wall's defense cannot be reduced for the time being. It's not that we can't defeat the nomads outside, but that small groups of invaders are annoying. After a year or so, the situation has stabilized. Let Meng Tian invite the Great Shanyu to come to Xianyang for a dance... ... Chidao, although if you want to get rich, build roads first, but in this era of underdeveloped productivity, building such a wide dirt road is useless. You can reduce the scale a little... Fu Su's thoughts turned, and then he stared at The Feng family father and son he watched expressed their thoughts.

Listening, Feng Jie's eyes widened slowly, with ecstasy on his face, he stood up and bowed to the ground: "My son is really a sage in ancient times, and it is indeed a blessing for all people to have a son in my Great Qin!"

Feng Quji said: "It should be that the ancient sages are not as good as the young master..."

Fu Su returned the gift and said: "The prime minister is too praised... Oh, yes, there is one thing I need to discuss with the two of you."

Feng Jie sat down and glanced at Feng Quji, and said, "Young master, it's okay to talk!"

"For the position of Prime Minister Zuo, I wonder if the two of you have a favorite candidate?"
