Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 270 This is a humble house, but I am so kind! (Please subscribe)

"Yan Le."

Ji Heng recited twice silently.

Naturally, he has heard of Yan Le's name, and it can be considered a thunderous one.

After all, he was the first person to kill the emperor.

What surprised Ji Heng was that Yan Le was still able to ascend to the Xianyang Order after Zhao Gao lost power. This was a bit unusual. Historically, Yan Le was unknown in the early stage until Hu Hai came to power and Zhao Gao took over the power. , Yan Le was able to rise to the rank of Xianyang Order, but now the situation has long changed, but Yan Le's career seems to have not been affected in any way.

immediately.

Ji Heng's eyes moved and he roughly guessed the reason.

Zhao Gao indeed lost power in the court, but under the influence of some current circumstances, the Great Qin court also underwent considerable changes.

In particular, Fusu has changed a lot in the past two years, which has made many officials a little uneasy, even a little scared. Then these people chose to change their families and switch to other princes. At present, Zhao Gao or the forces behind Hu Hai are no longer there. Smaller.

It is enough to install officials like Xianyang Ling.

Ji Heng chuckled lightly, looked up at the sky, and said calmly: "History seems to have changed, but it also seems to have not changed. It seems vaguely like it has returned to the original point. But if you really look closely, history has been different."

"Ha ha."

He went to the door of the house, opened it, and let Yan Le into the house.

Enter the lobby.

Neither of them said a word.

They just looked at each other with curiosity.

Different from the descriptions in many later commentaries or novels, Yan Le is not the so-called sharp ears and monkey cheeks, nor does he look like a traitor and wretched. Instead, he has a square face and is quite heroic, but his eyes are a bit gloomy in comparison.

Yan Le was also looking at Ji Heng at this moment.

He had heard of Ji Heng's name for a long time.

Precisely because of Ji Heng's existence, his uncle was less and less valued by Hu Hai. Now he even had to please him in every possible way before he could see Hu Hai. Most of his discussions with Hu Hai ended up being nothing, which also made his uncle unhappy. He was sulking, and even scolded Ji Heng angrily, and these were all thanks to Ji Heng.

How could he have a good impression of Ji Heng?

After just looking back and forth a few times, Yan Le still didn't see anything strange about Ji Heng, nor did he feel anything surprising. He even thought he was very ordinary. If he put Ji Heng in the market, he would probably not recognize him at first glance. out.

There is absolutely no aristocratic temperament.

If he hadn't known about Ji Heng's origin, he might have regarded him as a country man.

If Ji Heng knew Yan Le's thoughts, he would probably agree with this. Since he was released from prison, he has been keeping company with his vegetable garden. He has been exposed to the wind and sun all the time, and his skin color has naturally turned bronze. He has been living alone, and he has no intention of taking care of things, so he will be relatively careless.

Ji Heng glanced at Yan Le a few times and then withdrew his gaze.

He went to his own vegetable garden, pulled out a few mature cabbages, and shook off the soil. He completely forgot that there were people around him. After shaking off the soil on the cabbage, he turned his head and spoke calmly. He said, "What do you mean by your coming here this time?"

"in addition."

"Do you know the rules for door-to-door visits?"

heard.

Yan Le frowned and said solemnly: "Rules? What rules? Are there any rules for entering your house?"

Ji Heng smiled and said: "Of course there is, otherwise everyone comes with nothing, and I will starve to death? This rule is not for you alone, but for everyone who comes, even Fusu and Hu Hai are no exception. "

"A bottle of wine."

"Or two breasts of meat."

"Did you bring any with you when you came this time?"

"If not, please leave quickly and leave no one behind."

Ji Heng immediately started chasing people away.

Yan Le's face turned dark when he heard Ji Heng's words.

He was already feeling angry when the carriage was stopped in front of him, but now Ji Heng showed no respect to him and even asked him for wine and meat. It was really unreasonable. He was the order of Xianyang.

Ji Hengzhen calculated that it was within his management scope.

Yan Le said with a dark face: "Mr. Ji Zhong, have you not understood the situation? I am the order of Xianyang, and this time I came to deliver a message on the order of Master Hu Hai. You still dare to ask me for wine and meat? How dare you? It’s not too big!”

Ji Heng looked as usual.

He took the cabbage to the well, drew a bucket of water, and washed it directly on the spot. At the same time, he said calmly: "There is nothing without rules. Since there are rules, it is natural to act according to the rules."

"Fusu is like this."

"Hu Hai is like this."

"How can you be an exception?"

"Do you think you are higher than Fusu Huhai?"

Ji Heng looked at Yan Le with a half-smile.

Yan Le's expression froze.

He dare not say that he is superior to Fusu Huhai.

finally.

Yan Le stared at Ji Heng closely, took out a dozen Qin Banliang from his sleeve, and said very unhappy: "These dozen Qin Banliang are enough to buy three or four pieces of dried meat, so it's worth it to me." This time I came without warning."

immediately.

He seemed to be afraid of Ji Heng's rejection, so he said indifferently: "I am here to inform Mr. Zhong on the order of Mr. Hu Hai. Mr. Hu Hai has important matters to deal with in the court recently and has no time to be distracted. Therefore, Mr. Zhong Don’t wait any longer in the near future.”

"There's no need to wait."

Ji Heng walked over and kicked up the dozen Qin Banliang. As for what Yan Le said, he didn't seem to care at all. He just replied lazily "I know" and continued to wash the Qinsong. vegetable.

see.

Yan Le's expression was completely unbearable.

Ji Heng really deceived people too much.

He is the Xianyang Order of the Qin Dynasty, and he is considered a well-known figure in Xianyang. Even if he meets the courtiers, he does not need to be too humble. Now he comes to see Ji Heng personally. Not only does Ji Heng not put himself back, he even treats himself as nothing. , which made Yan Le, who had always been impetuous, completely unable to hold back his anger.

Just thinking of Zhao Gao's repeated instructions.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the depression.

He said with a cold face: "Mr. Zhong, I know that you are close to His Highness Fusu, and you also have a close relationship with Mr. Hu Hai. Mr. Hu Hai also appreciates you very much, but you may be a little uncomfortable with Mr. Hu Hai's actual situation." I understand that Mr. Hu Hai is a man with great ambitions, and you have delayed Mr. Hu Hai's future in the past year and a half."

"Master Hu Hai is a born nobleman, but he shouldn't be nostalgic for this." Yan Le looked around for a few times and said contemptuously: "This is a shabby house."

heard.

Ji Heng burst into laughter.

Yan Le's current warning was too obvious.

But how could he care about this?

He didn't even pay attention to the First Emperor and Fusu Shang, let alone Yan Le?Yan Le is destined to find the wrong person with these words.

He said calmly: "This is a humble house, but I am kind to it."

"Although my hut is dilapidated, it still has everything you need. Although it is not as good as those big houses with high walls, it still has a different scenery. However, since you are a eunuch, it is difficult for you to experience this feeling. Maybe you can understand."

"If you finish delivering the message, you can leave." "I still have things to do."

"Otherwise."

"Don't take yourself too seriously."

"I never take the initiative to entertain guests, and I have never taken the initiative to receive Hu Hai. But with your words, you are talking about the wrong person."

"Please come back."

"Remember to close the door when you leave."

"It's cold and windy."

Hearing that Ji Heng took the initiative to chase him away, Yan Le couldn't stand it at all.

He said with a sinister look in his eyes: "Mr. Zhong, you are a smart man, and you also know some situations in the court. You should be very clear that His Highness Fusu is not favored by His Majesty. The prince that Your Majesty really loves has always been Mr. Hu Hai. Moreover, when Mr. Hu Hai was born, it was even more auspicious."

"In the past year, Mr. Hu Hai has been bewitched by you and has gradually lost his enterprising spirit. Now he has finally regained it. I hope Mr. Zhong will not stop him anymore. Da Qin cannot tolerate a remnant of the Six Kingdoms from intervening."

heard.

Ji Heng shook his head lightly.

He said calmly: "I know the auspiciousness coming from heaven."

"And this is also the origin of Hu Hai's name, which corresponds to the seven-spirit Hu Hui (gai) star."

"but."

Ji Heng seemed to have thought of something else, and finally laughed out loud. He did not tell what he knew, but simply said: "Compared with these, what Great Qin needs more is a capable monarch."

"There's no point in just telling you this."

Ji Heng sighed lightly.

Hu Hai also has a hexagram number in history.

Hu Hai should be numbered seven. The so-called coming back in seven days will cause his rise and fall suddenly. If Hu Hai is the crown prince, it will be determined based on the Guimei hexagram of Zhan De Dui. The number of seven is heavy in the Qin Dynasty. However, in history It did come true.

However, this hexagram was actually made up by later generations.

He didn't bother to say it.

After hearing Ji Heng say "Seven Spirits and Hu Hui Constellations", Yan Le felt a little unconfident.

His eyes were fixed on Ji Heng, but he felt how extraordinary Ji Heng was.

It is really strange that Ji Hengyi, a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, can know so many secrets. He can know so clearly because his uncle is close to Hu Hai, so he was told that these are many eunuchs who serve Hu Hai in the court. Even the palace maids didn't know about it, but Ji Heng seemed to know it all. Could it be that Hu Hai told her secretly?

Yan Le looked hesitant.

He also knew that it would be difficult for him to get an advantage from Ji Heng, so he did not take any further action. He snorted coldly and said: "Mr. Zhong, it's good if you know. Mr. Hu Hai was born a nobleman, and his life path is broad and very few people can stop him. If it happens in the future, If anyone dares to block Young Master Hu Hai's path again, as the ministers who support Young Master Hu Hai, I may not be able to speak so nicely."

"Mr. Zhong, just take care of yourself!"

Done.

Yan Le waved his sleeves, raised his arms and left.

see.

Ji Heng was speechless.

Yan Le took himself too seriously.

However, it can also be seen from this that Zhao Gao has done a lot secretly, and at least he has gained considerable influence in the court. These people may not really like Hu Hai, but they are definitely dissatisfied with Fusu.

Ji Heng whispered: "As the First Emperor's health becomes worse and worse, more and more people can't sit still."

"Power touches the heart."

"Who can really be indifferent?"

"Li Si can't do it, Zhao Gao can't do it, and other courtiers can't do it either. Especially now that 'Fusu' has made mistakes one after another, which makes some people feel that they have seen the light of day. But these mistakes may not really be mistakes."

"In the monarch's old age, domestic affairs outweigh foreign troubles."

“Sometimes making enemies for yourself and reducing your sense of presence is far more secure than forming cliques.”

"But it's fine."

"Fusu is in the light, Hu Hai is in the dark."

"One is light and the other is dark, but it clearly distinguishes the courtiers."

"If we really clean up in the future, there will be a lot less resistance, but people will eventually change. Maybe when that time comes, Hu Hai may not be able to escape unscathed."

Ji Heng sighed.

He didn't think much more about it.

He doesn't care about the affairs of the court, he only cares about the direction of the world.

He went to the kitchen, fried the washed cabbage and pepper, made a simple meal, and lay down leisurely in the room.

the other side.

Yan Le went back to report the news.

Not only did he tell Zhao Gao exactly what he said, but he also complained a few more words. However, when he heard that Yan Le did not call Ji Heng directly by his name, he called him Mr. Zhong, so did Zhao Gao. nodded.

He nodded and said, "You did a good job."

"The word Ji Heng is not suitable to be spoken out. This person is already dead, and a dead person cannot be resurrected. If you directly say Ji Heng's name, you will get into trouble. You should be careful this time."

Yan Le smiled and said, "My uncle has trained me well."

"Just looking at Ji Heng's frivolous tone, I'm afraid he still won't restrain himself. What should my uncle do?"

Yan Le's eyes were dark.

Zhao Gao touched his chin and said coldly: "Don't act rashly for the time being. Master Hu Hai is very close to Ji Heng after all. If you provoke him rashly, it will not only be easy to frighten the snake, but also easy to cause dissatisfaction to Master Hu Hai. Now Master Hu Hai has begun to move around. It was enough for a short period of time to visit other courtiers, and during this court meeting, Fusu clearly sided with Li Si and others."

"The prime minister's position is limited to two people."

"If Li Si really wins Fusu's trust, and others want to be promoted, they still don't know how long they will have to wait. People like Du He, Yao Jia and others are also getting older. They can't wait that long, and looking at Li Si's body, I'm afraid You can still run around for a long time, these people don’t have that patience, and I can take this opportunity to lobby secretly."

"Completely win these people over."

"But it's all thanks to Fusu for giving me the opportunity."

"If he hadn't taken the initiative to solve the military merit issue, he wouldn't have caused so much trouble for himself, and he wouldn't have kept so many courtiers at arm's length. The words have been spoken now, but how easy is it to actually do it? Wait for the follow-up With successive setbacks, his prestige in the court will plummet, and even His Majesty may not be able to continue to persevere."

"People can be proud for a while, but they must not forget about it, let alone get carried away, otherwise they will definitely suffer backlash."

Yan Le smiled and said, "What my uncle said is absolutely true."

"But isn't it just because Fusu made stupid mistakes one after another that we got the chance to turn around? I hope that our Highness can make more stupid mistakes. Then it will be easier for Mr. Hu Hai to ascend to power, and we don't have to compromise with other courtiers. too much."

Zhao Gao nodded.

He chuckled sinisterly and said: "You are right. Don't provoke Ji Heng anymore during this period. Do your work well in your own official office. I will inform you when there are any changes in the court."

Yan Le said: "Uncle, don't worry, my son-in-law understands."

"Just Mr. Hu Hai's side?"

Zhao Gao sneered and said disdainfully: "Don't worry about that. When the time comes, you won't be able to help him."
