Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 209 How did you become such a cowardly Prince Qin?
The virtuous names of the princes outside the Great Wall have long been circulated in Guanzhong. They are more virtuous than each other, and they are simply salty people...

It seems that as long as the First Emperor randomly chooses one of them and calls him back to sit on the throne of the Second Emperor, then it is a certainty that the Great Qin will be strong for another hundred years!

Nowadays, the sons and princes who are well-known far and wide, return to Guanzhong to pay homage to the first emperor, and the accompanying army generals show their vigorous posture, and their treasures are all dazzling. The strength and wealth are astonishing.

And this also proves from the side that the virtuous names of the young masters are not in vain!

Therefore, participating in the harvest of summer grain on both sides of the straight road, and seeing the soldiers and civilians in the pilgrimage procession, merchants and merchants, noble ministers and servants... all praise the virtuous names of the princes.

All the young masters traveled all the way, only to hear the voices of praise, and the goal of ostentatiously passing through the market seems to have been achieved, and I couldn't help but feel more anticipation in my heart for this return to Guanzhong to pay homage!
"The north wind outside the Great Wall is bitter and cold... After all, it is still the gentle wind and drizzle in this pass, which is even more yearning..."

Seeing that he was approaching Xianyang City, Gong Zigao couldn't help but sigh.

The rest of the young masters did not speak, but looking up at the giant city in the distance, all of them showed fanaticism.

Then, it is an unconcealable longing!

"Greetings, gentlemen..."

"The old minister is ordered by His Majesty to wait here~!"

Ten miles outside the city, the person in charge of welcoming the pilgrimage team was Zhou Qingchen, a former doctoral servant and now Minister of Rites.

All the princes knew that this old official fan was a favored minister who was used to please Ying Zheng, so no one dared to make a big deal, and they all got off their horses and paid homage, pretending to be courteous and virtuous corporals, and said affectionately: "I welcome Lao Shangshu... Mr. Zhou, don’t come here without any problems... Old Shangshu Zhou is getting more and more healthy..."

Zhou Qingchen probably didn't expect that the young masters would have such a posture. After being stunned for a while, a fleeting strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he laughed and praised: "Young masters, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you also have the appearance of a king~ !"

As soon as these words came out, the young masters immediately relieved the summer heat better than drinking iced sour plum soup, and their spirits under the scorching sun were all shaken.

After complimenting each other for a while, the young masters were impatient and rushed to lead the team to Xianyang City, wanting to be the first to meet Ying Zheng.

"Young masters, His Majesty is not in the palace at this time, he left Xianyang early to inspect the harvest of summer grain..."

"Your Majesty left a message when he left to ask the princes and the diplomatic missions from various countries to wait a little while. The Ministry of Rites will be responsible for the board and lodging. We will talk about the pilgrimage after the summer harvest!"

Zhou Qingchen didn't know what their plan was, so he smiled and reminded him as he accompanied him.

When the young masters heard the words, they all froze.

It was like being splashed with a basin of ice-cold water, and most of the enthusiasm was quenched in an instant.

Doesn't Father miss us?
Hasn't the father heard of our virtuous name?
The pilgrimage of the various countries was agreed after the father and emperor returned from his tour to the south.

Even though we are the ones who are shameless and want to take the initiative to come back to pay homage...but didn't the father agree very readily?
Why do you ignore us so much when things come to an end?

This is obviously not taking our return to Guanzhong to worship seriously!

Could it be... is it because you didn't take it seriously, that's why you agreed readily?

"By the way, although His Majesty is not in Xianyang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, and is in charge of the overall affairs of the state."

Seeing that they were frustrated, Zhou Qingchen added another sentence at the right time, reminding them.

But, it's better not to remind, the young masters heard the words, the whole person is not well, and all of them are constipated.

Done!

Barbie Q!
Father and emperor have already assured his elder brother of the power of supervising the country, so why are you still playing with hammers?

Tread-tap-

At this time, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from behind.

The princes turned their heads to look for the reputation, and saw a group of knights wearing the Qin army's standard iron armor, surrounded by a black-faced bearded young man, galloping fast.

The soldiers and civilians harvesting summer grain on both sides of the road, after seeing the black-faced, bearded young man at the head, all put aside their frivolous discussions of watching the pilgrimage procession, and turned to bow to the black-faced, bearded young man.

But it is a well-behaved, respectful gesture!
This scene, the young masters are so envious, they are afraid of comparison in everything, the praise of the common people who they thought they were proud of before, compared with the scene of admiration before them, it seems that they are not worthy of the stage.

This black-faced and bearded young man is obviously extremely loved by the soldiers and civilians!

call-

The black-faced, bearded young man approached in an instant, got off his horse and saluted the princes, his voice clanging like gold and stone, said: "Brothers, don't you come here all right?!"

The young masters were taken aback, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

It seems that there are no younger generals among the clan's children, right?
Who is this melon?
Can he call me brother too?

We are sons of the First Emperor!

If you recognize your relatives indiscriminately, you will lose your head!

"Meet Your Royal Highness."

But when the princes were in a daze, Zhou Qingchen suddenly bowed down.

The black-faced, bearded young man waved his big hand, and the nails all over his body made a dignified sound: "Zhou Qing, you don't need to be too polite."

Princes: "..."

All the young masters shook their heads in unison, carefully observing the black-faced and bearded young man in front of him, then his eyes gradually widened, his mouths dropped as if they were dislocated.

"you……"

"Brother Emperor?"

"Brother?"

After the princes came back to their senses, their faces were full of horror, and they shouted tentatively.

Fusu nodded with a smile, and agreed: "Ah~!"

The young masters were dumbfounded again, and their faces twitched wildly.

Have we switched identities?

Who is blowing the north wind outside the Great Wall?
Great Prince Qin, why did he become so cowardly?
Could it be...is it so miserable to be a prince in front of the emperor?

"I haven't seen you brothers for two years, but I want to die as a brother~!"

Fusu is a gentleman, and gentlemen are mostly emotional. Seeing that the younger brothers seemed to be too 'excited' to speak, they became emotional immediately, and sighed with red eyes.

"Uh……"

The princes came back to their senses suddenly, this time they really came back to their senses, and they were no longer stupid.

However, seeing Fusu being so emotional, the young masters couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, elder brother is a good elder brother.

No one can deny this...

The princes were emotionally excited, but they did not dare to forget the etiquette. They all bowed together and said: "My brother, wait, see the prince~!"

Seeing this, the envoys from other countries standing behind them did not dare to be negligent. They imitated the etiquette of the Qin people and bowed loudly, saying loudly: "The king (prince, envoy) of the next country, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin~!!!"

Fu Su Zheng received a bow, and then pressed the sword with one hand, and lightly raised the virtual support with the other, Zhuang Su said: "Your lords, please forgive me, the visitor is a guest, and he will enter the city to rest."

"Here!"

Everyone received the courtesy and got on their horses, and Zhou Qingchen led them into the majestic city gate.

Fusu also got on his horse again, and walked with the princes, chatting as they walked.

"Brother, aren't you supervising the country? How did you come back from outside the city? Return this (ghost appearance)...wear?"

Young Master Jiang Lu asked hesitantly.

This question revealed the doubts in the hearts of the young masters, so all the young masters pricked up their ears.

Fusu smiled, and explained in a cheerful manner: "Brother Wei is currently serving as a servant of the martial arts academy. The new batch of generals participating in the rotation training have just entered the academy, and they need to pay attention to everything."

"Although the father ordered him to supervise the country for his elder brother, the Martial Arts Academy can't be left behind, so he can only run at both ends."

"Just now, Brother Wei was leading the martial arts students to collect and store summer grain for the people near Xianyang City. When he heard that you brothers were coming, he rushed to meet them. Unexpectedly, he was a step too late... Brothers, don't blame me for being negligent. it is good!"

The young masters were speechless when they heard it, and hurriedly said: "What did you say, my family doesn't talk about those empty etiquettes."

Although they were enslaved outside the Great Wall, they knew the affairs of the court through the merchants inside and outside the country, as well as some unknown news channels, so they naturally knew what the Martial Arts Academy was.

Now, the elder brother of the prince can not only be entrusted with state affairs by his father, but also appointed by his father as a servant of the martial arts academy. From now on, both the military and political circles will be full-fledged, and he will be an iron prince.

It's no wonder... their virtuous names are spread wantonly in Guanzhong, but this elder brother doesn't contradict them.

Because their virtuous names, compared with the real power held by this elder brother, are just like a joke!
The most important thing is, judging from the scene just now, this elder brother's reputation is far from comparable to theirs. The love of the common people makes people envious...

This is really nothing they did!

……

……

The envoys of countries outside the region shall arrange their residences by the Ministry of Rites.

However, the princes have mansions in Xianyang. After they went home to wash up, they brought gifts and entered the palace to pay respects to their mothers.

By the next day, the princes who had already met their mother were a little bored.

Because, it is said that Xianyang City, which is dozens or hundreds of times more prosperous than before, is now empty, with most of the shops closed and closed, and there are very few pedestrians.

Under the decree that there should be no idlers during the summer harvest, everyone left the city to participate in the summer grain harvest.

Including their younger brothers and sisters, they also followed Yingzheng's royal driver to inspect the summer grain collection and storage in various counties in Guanzhong, and they would not see anyone for a while.

The princes were bored, so they had no choice but to find their elder brother Fusu for entertainment, and accompanied him to deal with government affairs for half a day.

This made them envious again.

Because Fusu supervises the country and really takes over the government, except that he has no right to deploy troops, and he can decide everything with one word.

Old Wang Wan and other remaining courtiers would usually put forward some opinions, but if Fusu insisted, they would not comment, and immediately carried out honestly.

This made them envious. After all, they didn't have such power in their own country.

The Guoxiang Guowei appointed by the imperial court not only assists them, but also supervises them.

What they can decide is just some innocuous middle and lower reaches of political affairs, which is really painful!
The princes were jealous for a long time, and they were even more frustrated.

After all, elder brother Fusu's status is stable, almost like cast iron. Some of their small thoughts are completely nip in the bud, and depression is inevitable.

In the afternoon, the young masters didn't bother to feel uncomfortable anymore, they all asked Fu Su to let them go out of the city to find Ying Zheng's royal driver, so as to relieve the pain of missing him.

Fusu saw that they were bored in the city, so he agreed, and pointed out Yujia's whereabouts to them.

So, the young masters took their close guards and went out of the city non-stop to look for Yingzheng Yujia.

However, they searched for it for six or seven days.

Because Yingzheng's imperial driver is always light and simple, and the speed is very fast. Today he is in Weinan County, and tomorrow he will arrive in Lantian County.

And he didn't play cards according to common sense, he used a stick here and a hammer, and carried out raids and inspections everywhere, so it was really difficult to find Ying Zheng.

When all the young masters were exposed to the rain and sun and lost a lot of weight, they finally found Yingzheng Yujia in Sanchuan County.

Yes, Yingzheng's royal driver has left the pass.

The officials in Sanchuan County were so scared that they were not crazy, and even the officials in the entire Central Plains suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated by the Southern Tour a few months ago.

While the officials and gentry in the Central Plains were panicking, Yingzheng's royal driver was actually returning to Guanzhong.

Because the vigorous summer grain collection and storage campaign in Guanzhong has come to an end!
Ying Zheng didn't want to tour the Central Plains this time, so he went back in a hurry...

"Why don't you stay in Xianyang and come out to find me? You can die after playing for a few days, just look at the melon you guys are showing!"

Looking at a group of Heitantou sons who were almost on par with Fusu, Ying Zheng couldn't help but blame and feel distressed.

The young masters were embarrassed, and mumbled shyly: "I have not seen my father for two years, and I still have a lot of brothers and sisters, I miss you~"

Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Idiot... go and ride in the car of your younger brothers and sisters."

The princes were overjoyed, abandoned their horses one after another, and scrambled to get into the chariots of the princes and princesses.

Those with the thick skin would squeeze into Yingzheng's Yuyu car.

In Yuyu's car, not only Ying Zheng was alone, but Qin Mo was also there.

Thanks to Yuyu's car being spacious enough and being towed by six sweaty BMWs, otherwise even if they could squeeze them, they would not be able to run.

"I've seen Prime Minister Qin~!"

A few brazen young masters squeezed into Yuyu's car, hurriedly bowing to Qin Mo.

Qin Mo also smiled and bowed his hands in return: "My lords are polite."

Ying Zheng waited for them to calm down after seeing the ceremony, and then said to Qin Mo, "What is the purpose of the military parade that Aiqing just said?"

The princes were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that the monarch and his ministers were bored in the car, discussing state affairs.

So he hurriedly held his breath and concentrated, trying to make a small transparent shape, so as not to disturb them.

Qin Mo clasped his hands and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, judging from the information from the various counties, the system of missionaries and instructors in the army is probably considered a success."

"The garrison soldiers in each county performed well during the summer harvest, and the impression in the hearts of the people is no different from that of the younger soldiers."

"Therefore, according to the minister's opinion, we should strike while the iron is hot, and let the guards build up a sense of honor themselves."

"Even when there is no battle and no opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, the soldiers feel that it is an honor to be in the army."

"And if you want the guards to establish a sense of honor, you must first give them confidence and let the people really respect them."

"The grand military parade that I said, if you invite the people to watch it, you can give the soldiers confidence, and after the people watch it, they will respect them even more!"

Ying Zheng suddenly asked, "Is it the same military parade as the Baiyue guards?"

When Qin Mo was in Baiyue, he had given several crooked ideas to Meng Yi, Zhang Tang, Xin Sheng, and Qiang Li, who were guarding Baiyue.

Let them hold public military parades from time to time to deter people who secretly disobey Qin Zhi.

After the military parade, a series of activities will be held, such as letting the missionary officers tell stories to the people in Baiyue, and guide the people of Baiyue to remember bitterness and sweetness in an entertaining way.

In addition, there will be a military competition, and all the brave and healthy people will be recorded in the book.

Those crooked ideas are quite useful, at least after Yingzheng's royal driver left Baiyue, there has not been any rebellion in Baiyue that can be brought to the fore.

Two or three cats and dogs couldn't make waves at all, so they were quickly suppressed, and they were paraded around the streets by the typical reactionary on the spot, the great sinner who destroyed the stability of Baiyue...

In short, Grand Parade really works in Baiyue!
"It's about the same, but with some adjustments, I have specific regulations here, Your Majesty can read them."

Qin Mo took out a thick paper folder from his big sleeve, and presented it to Ying Zhengdao.

Ying Zheng started to watch it directly. After reading ten lines at a glance, he groaned and rubbed carefully. After a long while, he said, "It's very feasible!"

As he spoke, he pulled the copper ring beside him.

Zhao Gao, who was driving outside, saw the small bronze drum beating beside him, so he hurriedly handed over the reins to the assistant officer, got into the carriage by himself and said, "Your Majesty, what can I order?"

Ying Zheng handed Qin Mo's memorabilia to him, and said, "Quickly order the accompanying scribes to copy a few copies, and send them to the guarding generals or captains of the counties at an accelerated speed of [-] miles."

"Here!"

Zhao Gaoyi agreed, and hurriedly left the carriage again.

Ying Zheng watched him leave, then turned to look at Qin Mo and said, "The military parade in Guanzhong will be held by Aiqing himself, so as to set an example for the soldiers of all counties in the world, how about it?"

Naturally, Qin Mo would not shirk his own opinion, and immediately bowed his hands to accept the order: "Here!"

All the princes watched silently, seeing that the two monarchs and ministers had already finalized a major policy concerning the defense of the world in an instant, they all felt a surge of new trends.

Then a pair of eyes implying fiery passion fell on Qin Mo intentionally or unintentionally.

They all knew in their hearts how much influence Qin Mo had on Ying Zheng. To put it bluntly, the reason why his elder brother Fusu was able to be today was mostly because of the young prime minister's credit.

Not to mention anything else, just being crowned prince was the only way to follow Qin Mo out of the fortress to destroy the barbarians.

If they can win over Qin Mo, then many things are actually hopeless...

……

……

Guanzhong is densely populated, and there are tens of thousands of lieutenants, as well as a large number of servants and merchants.

Therefore, the harvesting speed of summer grain is much faster than that of all counties in the world.

Moreover, the climate is different in different places. During the summer harvest in Guanzhong, rainy days and sunny days account for half.

But in other places, it is not necessarily the luck of Guanzhong. It rains for two or three days, and the sky is sunny for a day or two, which is a common thing.

Seriously delayed the progress of the summer grain harvest!

Therefore, when Yingzheng's military parade edict was issued and sent to the guarding generals or captains of the counties, the harvest of summer grain in many counties would come to an end.

For example, South County!
Swah——

The last handful of rice in Yunmengze was cut by the governor of Nanjun himself, and then he raised his sickle high, signaled to the people within a few miles, and shouted: "I have finished collecting and storing summer grain in Nanjun. Victory over the sky, there is almost no loss, it all depends on the joint efforts of the people!"

"Wansheng~!"

"Wansheng~!"

"Wansheng~!!!"

The people cheered in unison, and the sound shook the world, and the children followed suit, jumping and shouting.

The three brothers Zhong, Heifu, and Jing met again now, and all three brothers roared hoarsely.

It has always been the inhumanity of heaven and earth that regards all things as dogs, but now it is man who has conquered the sky, which is so invigorating!

The lively and jubilant scene lasted for a quarter of an hour before finally subsiding.

Zhong Zhong looked left and right, but was taken aback because he found that all the soldiers of the Nanjun garrison who were originally among the common people had disappeared.

"Big brother, third brother...Look, the guards are gathering, and they seem to be going back to camp~!"

Heifu pointed to a threshing field in the distance outside the sea of ​​people, and shouted.

And this voice not only heard heartfelt surprises, but also many people in Nanjun who were still in agitation suddenly calmed down.

All eyes were on those soldiers who were forming a team and preparing to leave!
