What should I do if I am beheaded by the First Emperor at the beginning?

Chuanyang Jun laughed out loud as he said that, since he played a game with Chen Ke two days ago, he felt that Chen Ke could indeed be trusted.

He looked at Mr. Chuan Mu and said, "With our old bones, there is not much we can do to help His Majesty."

"The only thing left is to train a few talents for His Majesty."

"Such as Chen Ke is very good."

"The smarter and more capable he is, the more he can bring great benefits to Daqin."

Chuan Mugong also nodded slightly. In fact, what he values ​​most is not the person's background, but the person's ability.

As long as you are willing to do things for Daqin, as long as you have strong ability, you can use it regardless of your background.

This is Daqin's self-confidence.

Because Daqin will give enough rights and money so that that person will not deviate from Daqin.

Chuanyang Jun sighed quietly and said: "Actually, that child Ziying is really pretty good."

"He is much better than winning and suffering them."

"It's just that we don't have extra time to observe him, we can only see what choices he can make."

He smiled wryly and shook his head: "The two children, Yingku and Yinglun, were still doing well when they were young. I don't know why they became like this."

There was a little helplessness in Chuanyang Jun's eyes.

In the past, Ying Lun and Ying Ku had always supported Ying Zheng, but now I don't know why it suddenly became like this.

People may change.

Mr. Chuan Mu can see it very well: "Everyone will change, so what can we do?"

"We can keep him for a while, but we can't keep him forever. Everything has its definite number."

"Even Ziying will deviate from his present intention in the future, so what?"

"At that time, people of that era will naturally clean him up and bring him back to the normal track."

After so many years of ups and downs, Chuan Mugong is used to seeing everything in the world.

It is normal to have greed.

Those who have no greed and will not change are really rare people.

"Okay, tomorrow's grand court meeting is the key point. After so many days of layout, tomorrow can be gathered."

"Presumably after tomorrow, Daqin will no longer have any voices against His Majesty."

"It's an honor for you and me to use this remnant that is about to be buried in the loess to make a final contribution to Daqin and His Majesty."

Chuanyang Jun nodded slightly, and pushed Chuan Mugong towards the house.

At this time, white snowflakes began to float in the courtyard, and countless snowflakes fell on the ground, one after another. ,

The big tree that had been planted a long time ago in the courtyard had completely withered.

Some of the branches on it have also been rotten, and some even fell to the ground scatteredly.

The life of this tree is finally coming to an end.

Bajiagong

Yan Kong was sitting in the main hall with a slightly interesting look on his face. He pinched the chess piece with his fingertips, and the chess piece landed somewhere on the chessboard.

"Have you really forgotten the hatred you had back then?"

"Two years ago, if it wasn't for Chen Ke, how could the teacher and the others be beheaded, and even the entire Confucianism would be beheaded?"

The face of the person in front of him had a look of resentment, and the whole person looked extremely angry, like a burning flame.

But Yan Kong's expression was unhurried, and he just said lightly: "The teacher's matter is not all His Majesty's fault, nor is it all Chen Fengchang's fault."

"Back then, Confucianism was too big. It even deliberately wanted to shake the crown prince and make trouble for the emperor's successor."

"Your Majesty just killed the chief culprit, and didn't even implicate the Kong family too much."

"What is there to worry about?"

His expression was clear and light, and he looked very ordinary.

Qu Liang looked at Yan Kong fiercely, but said in a cold voice: "So, you have completely forgotten the teacher's hatred and become Chen Ke's person?"

"What did the teacher do wrong back then? He just wanted to fulfill the wishes of the sages."

"My Confucianism has worked hard for hundreds of years, isn't it just to make my predecessor Confucius a saint?"

Yan Kong just remained silent: "Teacher, they chose the wrong method."

He put the chess piece there, and said vaguely: "If you came to me this time just for this matter, then go back."

"I don't want to get involved in these things anymore."

"Right now, I'm just concentrating on studying in the Palace of Hundred Families, studying Confucian classics, and inheriting the wishes of the sages."

"Revenge and politics, don't look for me."

Yan Kong stood up with a cold expression on his face, then he took the scroll in one hand and put the other hand behind his back, and left indifferently.

Qu Liang, who stayed where he was, had anger in his eyes, and the flames of anger had completely burned his reason.

At this time, he couldn't tell right from wrong, friend from foe.

"Is it?"

He murmured to himself: "In this case, then you should go with the teacher."

"Back then, the teacher loved you the most. Now that the teacher has been framed to death by that person, how can you live alone?"

"What's more, you have forgotten the teacher's hatred."

Qu Liang stood up, his figure was a little shaky, and he quietly looked at the shadow in the distance.

"The enfeoffment is imperative. When the lord is enfeoffed as king, please ask the king to take you to the fief and bury you next to the teacher's tomb."

Saying so, Qu Liang turned and left.

Penglaizhou

In the middle of the night, a horse was traveling across mountains and rivers, and a person was sitting on it immediately.

The costumes on his body are those of the military, even if the things on his body look very expensive, no one dares to provoke him.

Who dares to stop something that is urgent for eight hundred miles?
Don't you die?

And this person brought a letter and was about to arrive at Penglai Island.

Penglaizhou State Government Office

Guan Zhuo sat in the yamen, even though it was late at night, he was still dealing with government affairs.

There are many people like him. Since Chen Ke and Fu Su left, most of the government affairs of Penglaizhou have fallen on them.

The commander of the Manufacturing Department, the commander of the Municipal Department of Materials, and Fan Lingjun from the Publishing Department who doesn't know what his job is.

Of course, Huo Shi, the governor of Linzi County, often came to help.

Everyone knows that Chen Ke will not stay in Penglai Island for a long time.

And after Chen Ke left, some people had already begun to speculate on the candidate for the governor of Penglaizhou.

The most likely one is naturally Huo Shi, the governor of Linzi County. After all, Linzi County is the state capital of Penglaizhou.

Succession to this governor seemed a matter of course.

"Bang bang bang-"

A series of short and powerful voices sounded, and there was a knock on the door outside.

Guan Zhuo raised his head from the government affairs, looked outside the door, rubbed his forehead slightly and said, "Come in."

And when the figure outside showed his figure, he was a little surprised and said, "Mr. Huo?"

"It's so late, what can you do?"

Huo Shi looked at Guan Zhuo with a serious expression: "Your Majesty has an order, and Guan Zhuo accepts it."

He took out a well-sealed letter from his sleeve, then looked at Guan Zhuo and said, "This is an imperial decree from His Majesty who hastened eight hundred miles, please take the decree in charge."

Chenzhangtai Palace
Before dawn, Zhangtai Palace was full of waiting courtiers.

Li Si sat in front, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He could feel the ups and downs of the past few days in Xianyang City.

The game between His Majesty and some people in the clan has reached the final stage.

However, the message disappeared quietly.

This really surprised him. Originally, Li Si thought that this game would last longer.

I didn't expect it to be over in just a few days.

He shook his head and looked at the old man sitting in front of him with a calm face and eyes closed.

This one has already come out, it seems that things have really reached the final chapter.

Following a sharp voice, Ying Zheng walked out of the apse with a peaceful expression, as if he hadn't felt the recent ups and downs at all.

He still looked at the many courtiers under the stage and said: "What's the matter today?"

Among the crowd, a minister stood up.

This person looked passionate, with an excited expression on his face. He was a censor from Yushitai, and he was indeed in charge of supervision affairs on weekdays.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I want to join Yanfang, the governor of the Dai County, and the waiter of the Chen County, who are corrupt and pervert the law, and cover up the local forces to exploit the common people, causing many people to die."

He knelt on the ground, looking like a man who was avenging justice.

Then his voice became more mournful. Looking at Chen Ke sitting in front, his voice became even more impassioned: "The minister also wants to report to Feng Chang, Governor Chen Ke of Penglaizhou, and Huo Shi, the prefect of Linzi County, to cover up Huo Zhen's intentional murder in broad daylight. Threatening the people of Great Qin under me."

The man burst into tears, looked at Ying Zheng sitting on the high platform and said: "Your Majesty, especially Huo Zhen, he is unscrupulous in Penglai Island because the governor of Penglai Island is his brother's teacher."

"Your Majesty—"

"I feel worthless for those people of Great Qin!"

"They trusted these people wholeheartedly, and trusted the sheriffs sent by the imperial court, but these sheriffs didn't treat them kindly."

"These sheriffs have failed His Majesty's trust."

As Hong Liang spoke, tears fell from his eyes with real emotion.

But the surrounding area was silent, no one spoke, no one opened their mouths, not even the people from Yushitai dared to speak to help Hong Liang.

All Hong Liang's eyes were looking at a dead person. They felt that this person was going to die.

But Ying Zheng on the stage looked at this scene with a mocking indifference on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh?"

"Hong Aiqing, is there anyone or something that can prove what you said?"

Ying Zheng sat on the high platform, rather solemn and calm, his eyes were extremely dark, like the night sky.

After Hong Liang heard this, he didn't panic in the slightest, he just said, "Your Majesty, I have witnesses!"

His face was sincere: "The person who witnessed the intentional murder of brother Huo Shi, the governor of Linzi County, was beaten into a trick by Governor Chen, but now he came to Xianyang City."

"Now waiting for His Majesty's call outside Xianyang Palace."

Looking at this scene, Ying Zheng only found it interesting. He looked at Hong Liang and said, "Oh? Someone can prove it, and was beaten into a trick by Chen Ke?"

"Then call this person into the palace."

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke at the side again and asked, "Chen Ke, what do you say about this matter?"

Chen Ke said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the courtier cleans himself, there is nothing to explain."

"Things that have been done are done, and things that have not been done are not done. The shadow of a straight person will never be oblique. This is what I will always believe."

Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Everyone else has sued you, yet you don't even defend yourself?"

"Really confident."

"Then wait for the witness to arrive."

At this time, Hong Liang knelt there, did not get up, just looked at Ying Zheng and continued: "Your Majesty, even if that person lied to me, the matter about Governor Chen is false."

"But what happened in the other two counties is true."

"and"

Speaking of this, Hong Liang looked a little hesitant, appearing hesitant.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "And what?"

Hong Liang gritted his teeth, looked directly at Ying Zheng and said, "And Your Majesty, this incident has exposed the shortcomings of the county system."

"These people are officials in the local area and control the power of one party."

"It's okay for those who are close to His Majesty, but those who are far away from His Majesty, will they still have Da Qin in their hearts? Will they still have His Majesty?"

"If one day they rebel and seek rebellion, what about our Great Qin?"

He said very sincerely: "What's more, these days, I often hear rumors in the city that there are foxes in Ba and Shu counties spit out people's words."

"I feel that this is also a warning left by God."

In this matter, someone among the officials stood up again, with a strange expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, speaking of the warning left by God, I remembered something."

He said respectfully: "Recently, there have been rumors in Kuaiji County that they saw an immortal palace left over from the sky by the sea."

"It is said that it may be the relic of an immortal."

The man raised his head, looked at Ying Zheng on the high platform and said, "It just so happens that next spring will be the time for His Majesty to tour the East."

"Does Your Majesty want to add this Kuaiji County to the location of the east tour?"

These two things seem to be irrelevant, but in fact there is a connection between them.

When Hong Liang heard this person's words, he immediately said again: "Your Majesty, this celestial phenomenon will not appear sooner or later, but it will appear at this time."

"Is there some connection in this?"

"I feel that this must be God's reminder about the county system, Your Majesty."

Hong Liang's impassioned voice spread throughout the hall, and the people around felt a little delusional when they saw this scene.

This scene seems to have happened three years ago.
It's just that at that time, the one who knelt on the ground and supported the enfeoffment system was the most determined person who opposed the enfeoffment system sitting there now.

Same words, same place.

Even the time is almost the time of the morning meeting, which really makes people feel a little emotional.

Some people even whispered in the crowd: "At this time, who still dare to support the enfeoffment system? Are you really not afraid to follow in Chunyu Yue's footsteps?"
