Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 502: The First Emperor fled, and the grandson supervised the country!

"What? Qiu was detained by the Peacock Kingdom?"

"Send a message to Xianyang to prepare for war!"

"Do you want to fight?" Someone said with an excited tone.

"You bastard, it's your colleague who's been detained!"

"I would rather replace Qiu with me, sacrifice my life to be a benevolent person, and die without regrets!"

"Whether we fight or not depends on His Highness's will. The Peacock Kingdom is no better than Ye Tiao, and we know very little about it. Moreover, its territory is vast and its national power is strong..."

"It's right to assemble the army and prepare for war. We can go to Ye Tiao Kingdom to find businessmen and promise them a lot of money to guide us."

"Ye Tiao Kingdom has just signed an alliance with Great Qin. We are going to find the leader of Ye Tiao Kingdom, express Great Qin's wishes, ask them to send troops, and negotiate terms with them!"

After the news that Qiu was detained by the King of Carriage spread overseas, surprisingly, not many people even felt sad about Qiu being detained. A group of war madmen actually geared up to start a war.

Some people even envy Qiu's situation.

Of course, whether the war is not decided by people of their level depends on Zhao Si's wishes.

But it was obvious that this group of war madmen had sufficient subjective initiative. Even without Wang Ling, they had made all preparations and plans before the war.

Including but not limited to sending people to contact Ye Tiaoguo, preparing for war at the same time, investigating the details of Peacock Kingdom, mobilizing soldiers and food, and just waiting for the order from King Xianyang, he would directly march south.

And on the other side...in the palace.

"What? Dad is gone?"

Zhao Si got up early in the morning and made his usual morning dynasty, but found that there was no sign of the First Emperor. He thought that the First Emperor might not have gotten up, so he habitually listened to the morning dynasty. After waiting for a long time, the First Emperor was still not in place. When he asked, his father Fu Su I didn't know what to ask, so I ran to Li Si and asked for a long time. Li Si told Zhao Si some sad news.

"Yes, I took the young master to Tangquan to avoid the cold." Li Si said with a smile.

"Why didn't I know about such a big thing? Why didn't you tell me during the meeting today?" Zhao Si had a look of surprise on his face.

"No, my son was also taken away?" Zhao Si looked at Li Si with a strange expression.

"Your Majesty only informed the three princes in advance, and the other officials don't know yet. Your Majesty also specifically told you not to tell His Highness too early." Li Si spread his hands.

Oh, you are afraid that I will chase you, right?

"Uncle, this is nonsense. He is the king of a country. A country cannot be without its owner for a day..." Zhao Si muttered.

"I didn't even leave Guanzhong, I just went to the hot spring to escape the cold..." Li Si smiled.

Back then, the First Emperor made a grand tour of the world and wandered around the country. What impact could it have?

"Besides, His Majesty also left an edict..." Li Si smiled and took out the edict left by the First Emperor.

Zhao Si took the edict and read it carefully...

Occasionally I feel unwell and have difficulty recuperating my energy. However, state affairs cannot be neglected and political affairs cannot be neglected. Therefore, the eunuch is appointed to supervise the country and the prince is appointed to assist in the administration.

That's probably what it meant, but Zhao Si was certain that the First Emperor's excuse was entirely.

With the halo of raw jade, it would be damned if the First Emperor felt unwell.

It's obvious that he doesn't want to be his free labor force, so he ran away from him.

Then he gave himself the title of supervising the country, retired behind the scenes, and laughed at his various operations on Da Qin.

"But this is too hasty..." Zhao Si frowned.

"What's so rash about this? Is it necessary to convene a court meeting? Since the three ministers and nine ministers issued His Majesty's edict, the ministers have known about His Majesty's supervision of the country, and the ministers naturally took matters into their own hands in the East Palace.

This is a good thing, Your Highness! "Li Si blinked and smiled.

Taisun Supervising the State means the transfer of the highest power. Although it is only the right to experience, now Zhao Si has truly taken control of the Qin State.

Canonizing officials, personnel transfers, policy changes and implementation.

"I feel even more unsure now..." Zhao Si muttered twice without letting Li Si hear. After Li Si asked about the news about the First Emperor, he hurriedly left.

"Your Majesty is already far away now. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. Moreover, even if I catch up, will Your Majesty still be chased back?" Li Si said with a smile.

"Not chasing..." Zhao Si waved his hand.

"My son is gone!"

"Since His Highness has no objections, I will do my best to inform all the ministers of His Highness's edict of supervising the country." Li Si said.

Zhao Si ignored Li Si and left in a hurry to find his confidant.

In fact, there are not many people who can stand on the stage. His main confidants are in the State of Zhao.

Therefore, Zhao Si only summoned Han Sheng, Xi, Teng, who was in charge of internal affairs, and his younger brother Jicheng in the palace.

Within a moment, the four of them had arrived at Zhao Si's palace.

Zhao Si's residence is the old palace of the First Emperor. It is located within the palace and can be called the East Palace for the time being.

Because it was the place where the First Emperor lived when he just returned to China, it was a bit dilapidated. In order to facilitate Zhao Si's stay, it was expanded and renovated, and three more palaces were added. Therefore, the area is not too small now. It can handle government affairs, live and eat, watch flowers and birds, and settle down. There is a place for everything in the harem.

Under the leadership of Qian, the four people entered the hall and sat down one by one.

"Your Highness summoned you for what purpose?"

Although Ji Cheng was Zhao Si's younger brother and had a closer relationship with Zhao Si, he was used to being cautious, so he didn't speak.

It was Han Sheng who spoke.

"What should I say?" Zhao Si rubbed his forehead.

"My eldest father took the young slaves to the hot spring to keep warm. Before leaving, he summoned the three princes and ordered me to supervise the country and my father to assist the government. The incident happened suddenly, so I summoned you to come and tell me your opinions and what will happen in the future. How should we act?" Zhao Si sighed and said.

Han Sheng's face lit up when he heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Your Highness, this is a happy event!"

"My eldest father asked me to supervise the country. I have never had the experience of supervising a country. The heavy responsibility of a country rests on my shoulders. If I am not careful, the country will go wrong. Where does the joy come from?" Zhao Si raised his eyebrows.

"Your Highness has been working hard day and night on the reform and Great Qin's plan for the next five years. Have you stopped planning?" Han Sheng asked. "The law will naturally change." Zhao Si nodded.

"Have your Highness ever informed His Majesty, and how did His Majesty respond?" Han Sheng asked.

"My eldest father asked me to let go and do whatever I can." Zhao Si nodded.

"That's it. Since Your Majesty knows this and has seen His Highness's five-year plan, leaving the palace to keep warm and letting His Highness supervise the country is actually to train His Highness. Although His Highness has no experience in supervising the country, you I have been following His Majesty in politics for a long time, and have been taught by His Majesty's words and deeds. Although the affairs of a country are important, they may seem complicated, but in fact they are nothing more than simplifying the complexity. Besides, you are the Crown Prince. I dare to say that the Crown Prince will succeed to the throne after all. Yes, national affairs will have to be taken care of sooner or later. Isn't it a happy event that Your Highness knows the affairs of a country in advance?

Moreover, His Majesty has always been close to His Highness. In my opinion, His Majesty’s move further demonstrates his closeness and trust in Your Highness. His Highness can also take advantage of this opportunity to develop his ambitions. Isn’t it just right? Han Sheng said with a smile.

Of course he had enough reasons to be happy. The First Emperor ran away, and Zhao Si was the first person to talk about it, even if it was temporary.

But this temporary supreme power is also power. Although the First Emperor has not left the country, since letting Zhao Si supervise the country means that he is willing to let Zhao Si do whatever he wants, so the First Emperor will never interfere with anything that is not particularly excessive.

Then, as Taisun’s retainer, wouldn’t I be...

After all, Zhao Si's core team is all in Zhao State... Under such circumstances, there is no room for Han Sheng to be upset.

Zhao Si nodded. In fact, he had some expectations.

The First Emperor's departure without saying goodbye was unexpected but also reasonable.

Now that he is the crown prince, and at the same time he has high hopes from the First Emperor, there will be fewer and fewer situations where he expects to pat his head and come up with ideas and talk nonsense like before and then let the First Emperor and the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers put it into practice.

Sooner or later there will be such a day.

Although I have always been very careful, as the heir of a country, I can't just pat my head and pay attention randomly.

This move by the First Emperor gave himself a space to act freely.

But this is the first time Zhao Si has shouldered a heavy responsibility, so he feels a little uneasy.

It was normal for Han Sheng to be surprised. In fact, the four people present were more or less happy.

Xi is like this, Ji Cheng is like this, no one doesn't want the people close to them to get closer, Teng...etc.

Zhao Si noticed that Teng's brows were knitted together but he was hesitant to speak and said in a deep voice: "Why is the internal history silent? Is there anything you want to mention?"

"I don't have anything to say to His Highness, but I have a few questions that Your Highness has not said. I want to ask them," Teng said.

"Just ask." Zhao Si nodded.

"Your Highness oversees the country, and the Crown Prince assists the government. From now on, when all ministers report matters, will they be sent to the Crown Prince's residence, the palace where His Highness lives, or the official office where His Majesty handles government affairs?

Is the Jade Seal Soldier Talisman in charge of you or the prince?

Let’s not mention the court meeting for now, where will we go for the morning meeting? "Teng asked.

"Both the Tiger Talisman and the Imperial Seal are with the Great Father, but the seal that the Great Father usually manages is still in the palace, under the control of the Zhongche Mansion. I also know where it is.

As for the court meeting, the eldest father did not say where the memorial was to be held. The matter was in such a hurry that I had no time to think about it carefully. "Zhao Si said.

The First Emperor had more than one seal, but the Imperial Seal was of the highest standard. However, this thing could not be used at any time. Under normal circumstances, there was no need to use the Imperial Seal. This thing was more of a symbol. .

As for the tiger talisman that controls the world's soldiers and horses, it is naturally in the hands of the First Emperor, but naturally there is more than one tiger talisman. The one of the First Emperor is the highest standard, and soldiers and horses from all over the country can be mobilized. Zhao Si also has a tiger talisman in his hand, the tiger talisman of the Yulin Army and the Hangzhou Trade Army The tiger talisman of the palace, as well as the tiger talisman of Zhao Guo's soldiers and horses, are actually here with Zhao Si.

Except for the First Emperor, only Zhao Si in the entire Qin Dynasty could mobilize a large number of troops. Fusu, who had the support of the Great Wall Corps, could not match this.

Although the Great Wall Corps had 300,000 troops, Fusu did not have the Tiger Talisman. He only received support, but the Emperor did not give him the right to mobilize troops, so Fusu did not.

"Since Your Majesty has asked His Highness to supervise the country, the ministers should naturally go to the East Palace to report their affairs. In the morning, the three ministers and nine ministers should also go to the East Palace to report their affairs." Han Sheng said with a smile, ignoring Zhao Si's father Fusu in a gorgeous way.

In fact, many people know that the biggest contributor to Fusu's ability to establish the throne was Zhao Si. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was incidental.

Moreover, there is a Zhao State behind Zhao Si, as well as the Wuguyuan Craftsmanship Bureau, Shipping and Trade Military Mansion, half of the Black Ice Platform is Zhao Si's people, and the other three are the princes. Wang Jian and Li Si are all Zhao Si's teachers, and the recruitment order has promoted them again. For many officials, Zhao Si has already surpassed Fusu in terms of political power.

Moreover, Fusu kept a low profile after returning to Xianyang. The First Emperor's preference for Zhao Si was well known. Even Fusu's party members believed that the First Emperor loved Zhao Si more. It was not an exaggeration for Han Sheng to ignore Fusu.

"His Majesty's edict only talks about letting His Highness supervise the country and the Crown Prince to assist the government?" Teng frowned and started to ask.

"Well... that's all I said. In fact, he deliberately avoided me. It was only after the eldest father left that Li Si gave me the edict." Zhao Si said.

"According to common sense, since Your Majesty left Xianyang with the young master, he must sort out all the affairs in the court before doing so.

Especially for things like this, they must be explained clearly. Otherwise, if the ministers are leaderless and don't know where to act, wouldn't it be chaos in the government? "Teng said.

"Keep talking!" Zhao Si nodded and said.

"I would like to ask again, does the Crown Prince know what His Highness wants to do?" Teng asked.

"My eldest father and I never shied away from talking about him. We knew it, but we didn't talk specifically about the country in private." Zhao Si nodded and said.

"Then the prince, do you have any comment on His Highness's plan to carry out political reforms and the subsequent plans?" Teng continued to ask.

"That's not true... I just occasionally preach a few words when I am slacking off. For example, I have never asked about political matters, and my father has never taught me. I have always been taught by my father's words and deeds." Zhao Si thought for a moment and said.

"Then I boldly suggest to Your Highness that it is better to have a frank and frank talk with His Highness the Crown Prince," Teng said.

"Logically speaking, Your Majesty will not miss these things, but since Your Majesty didn't say anything, it naturally has His Majesty's deep meaning. Your Majesty left Xianyang, but Xianyang is more than His Highness. No matter what the prince is, he is still a prince and your father. I venture to guess that perhaps this is His Majesty’s test for Your Highness. Being a king is one aspect of government affairs, but if the family cannot be peaceful and a rift between father and son arises, I’m afraid that is not what Your Majesty wants to see.” Teng said. .

Zhao Si nodded when he heard the sound and then said: "Then I will have an affair with the ministers in the morning... What do you think?"

"I suggest that the morning court should still be held in your majesty's palace, and the ministers should still go to the original place. Your majesty has issued an edict for you to supervise the country, and the prince will assist in the administration. Although the power lies with your highness, you cannot ignore the prince's opinions. Therefore, you and the Crown Prince need to discuss it carefully," Teng said.

"What if the prince disapproves?"

Suddenly, Han Sheng spoke suddenly.

Obviously, he prefers Zhao Si to directly take over power. After all, it is not difficult with Zhao Si's current reputation and power.

Moreover, His Majesty's edict stated that the grandson is the supervisor of the country and the prince is the assistant government.

"Okay! Don't speculate on things that haven't happened yet. It's not too late for me to see my father first!"

Zhao Si naturally understood Han Sheng's thoughts, frowned and spoke.

At this moment, Zhao Si already missed his eldest father a little.

(Heavy snow, I have a cold...)
