Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 281 Fusu’s awakening! (Please subscribe)

a winter.

The imperial court is planning the tour.

At the beginning of February, the plan for the First Emperor's fifth tour was completely finalized.

The ministers who accompanied Ying Zheng on the tour were: Prime Minister Li Si, Tingwei Shi Lu, Dianke Yao Jia, Zhi Su Neishi, etc. However, among the accompanying officials, one person was actually a bit unexpected, that is, the CRRC Mansion, which had long existed in name only. Zhao Gao was ordered to continue accompanying him this time.

Also.

The young son Hu Hai also followed.

When the news that these two people were following came out, there was actually quite a dispute between the DPRK and China.

Firstly, Zhao Gao had already lost power, and the First Emperor rarely let Zhao Gao drive his carriages in the palace; secondly, Zhao Gao's position had long been occupied by other eunuchs, and many people had long believed that Zhao Gao would be dismissed because of this, but now suddenly Reuse is also unexpected by many people.

However, many people also guessed the First Emperor's intention to use Zhao Gao.

During the previous patrols, Zhao Gao was driving, and when he was in Bolangsha, it was with Zhao Gao's superb driving skills that the First Emperor saved the day. This time, the route was announced in advance. Although there was a large army to protect him, But Zhao Gao still won the heart of the First Emperor more.

But Hu Hai was a little abrupt.

The imperial court has appointed a crown prince.

Logically speaking, other young masters should avoid it in order to avoid attracting attention from all parties.

However, this winter, Hu Hai first used the pretext of fulfilling his original promise to visit the non-commissioned officers who had returned with Fusu in the court, and then walked around the court many times, as if he was unaware of the current situation of the court. In addition, many officials Everyone had heard about the situation behind Zhao Gao's back, so they couldn't help but have some thoughts in their minds.

And this time Hu Hai followed the patrol, which made many officials think deeply.

at the same time.

The person who stayed behind in the administration of Xianyang General Division was Feng Quji, the right prime minister, and the imperial censor Dunwei. The person guarding Hangu Pass was Meng Tian, ​​who was temporarily in charge of Xianyang's military affairs, and the person in charge of the prisoners in Lishanling was General Zhang Han.

Fusu only assisted Prime Minister You in governing affairs.

Although this arrangement surprised many people, the candidates had already been decided and the courtiers did not dare to make any further comments.

The second day of February.

This day is a good omen for Dayang.

There is a folk proverb: "On February [-], the dragon raises its head." '

So on this day, Ying Zheng officially started his fifth grand tour.

The magnificent chariot rumbled out of Xianyang, and thousands of Guanzhong people were waiting on the roadside outside the city to witness this grand scene.

When the sun was about to rise, the entire Xianyang was bathed in the morning glow. On the most majestic Zhengyangmen archery tower, 36 trombones were raised in order. The melodious and majestic horn sound instantly resounded throughout Xianyang and also reached the city. The Wei River flows north and south.

From the open city gate, a solemn royal guard of honor emerged.

After the royal guard of honor, there was a phalanx of thousands of cavalry, followed by nine teams and nine chariots. Among them was the Royal Chariot of the First Emperor, but no one knew which chariot the First Emperor was in. Then there were several bronze chariots, with more than ten ministers sitting in them, and then there was another square chariot.

This is a unique and grand scene.

In the entire convoy, no one was on foot, but all rode calmly.

However, those who have experienced the first few patrols of the First Emperor must know that what is in front of them is not all the emperor's patrols. There is also a group of iron cavalry escorting some large crossbows and infantry, which have been waiting in the city early. In addition, they would only meet up with the First Emperor's motorcade in a sparsely populated area.

Even so.

The queue coming out of Xianyang City also attracted thousands of people to look at each other.

All kinds of exclamations and cheers came and went.

The sound shook the wilderness.

It was different from the bustle of people outside the city.

The small courtyard where Ji Heng was located seemed very cold.

It's also very quiet.

He was wearing a fleece coat, sitting lazily on a recliner, looking at the eaves calmly, looking very absent-minded.

The First Emperor finally started this tour.

The time was earlier than expected.

But Ji Heng didn't have much confidence in the results of this patrol.

Because in history, the First Emperor died of illness during his patrol. However, it seems to be different from history, that is, the First Emperor's patrol would not pass through the "sand dunes".

But he couldn't remember clearly.

Historically, did the First Emperor change his route to the sand dunes, or did his original journey pass through the sand dunes.

The only difference is that Zhao Gao and Hu Hai are still with them.

Everything seems to be back to the original point.

Ji Heng withdrew his gaze, lightly traced his fingertips across the bamboo slices, and whispered: "The real division in the world will be on this tour."

"If the First Emperor did not have any accidents during his patrol, shocked the nobles of Guandong and the Confucian alchemists, took the opportunity to lead the way in regulating sacrifices in Chu, and finally returned safely, then the Qin Dynasty would have another one to two years, and These two years are enough to bring great changes to Great Qin."

"The counselor uses his body as bait to invite people from all over the world to join in."

"What if these counselors can't get into the game themselves? How can they stir up trouble in the world?"

"Ha ha."

Ji Heng chuckled lightly, his eyes a little playful.

In fact, he never thought about competing with Zhang Liang, Fan Zeng, Kuai Tong and others.

What he planned was to keep these people out of the game.

A counselor who cannot get into the situation, even if he is very capable, will not be able to stir up the situation. He can only let the current situation change, and the current situation is always under his control. He can completely use the power of the world to quietly stir up these desires. The world's "counselors" were strangled in their belly.

Suppress the world without any bloodshed!

What he plots is the human heart.

It's the current situation.

He doesn't like variables.

Moreover, Zhang Liang was known as the "Sage Seeker" after all. Ji Heng was not very willing to deal with such an extremely intelligent person, so he simply let Zhang Liang be coerced by the situation and unable to do too many shocking things. It can only be contained and restricted step by step, and ultimately it is futile.

Boom!

There was a knock on the door.

Ji Heng regained his concentration, licked his lips, stood up and opened the door.

Fusu was standing outside the door.

Fusu bowed and said, "Fusu has met Mr.

Ji Heng nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Now that the First Emperor is out on patrol, you can be regarded as supervising the country."

Fusu smiled bitterly and followed Ji Heng into the room. He sighed: "Sir, you are just joking. Fusu is just assisting Feng Cheng in getting along with things. He has no function of supervising the country. Please don't try to hurt me, sir."

Ji Heng laughed a few times.

He didn't make fun of Fusu just like that.

He said slowly: "Now many important officials in the city are patrolling with the First Emperor. Whether you or Feng Quji, they are not dealing with too many political affairs at the moment, and most of them are under the internal history. In comparison, , there won’t be too many accidents, it’s just that you lacked experience in handling political affairs in the past, but you need to study hard.”

Fusu nodded.

He understands this too.

So I had made an agreement with Feng Quji earlier.

Feng Quji takes the lead in everything, and he only serves as a support.

Just to improve my ability to handle political affairs.

However, as the First Emperor went out on patrol, Fusu felt a little empty in his heart, and at the same time there was an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart. After meditating for a while, he didn't figure out why, so after leaving the city to see him off, he came directly to Ji Heng's residence, I want to ask Ji Heng for advice.

He cupped his hands and said, "Fusu came here this time because he really wanted to ask for advice from your husband. Recently, I have been feeling inexplicably agitated and even a little uneasy. I just can't find a clue at the moment." Fusu expressed his confusion.

Ji Heng glanced at Fusu briefly, his eyes flickered slightly, and said bluntly: "Your uneasiness comes from the instability of your position."

heard.

Fusu's face turned pale.

Ji Heng ignored him, stood with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "You, the prince, actually only have a title, and do not have any real power. And on some things, you have political disagreements with many courtiers, which also caused you to His voice and influence in the DPRK have further weakened, and may even be worse than those of Hu Hai."

"And this time Hu Hai went on tour with the First Emperor again."

"You gave birth to injustice."

Fusu argued: "Fusu has never had such an idea. Hu Hai is my younger brother. I can't go out with my father. My father needs someone to take care of him. My younger brother is the most suitable. How can I treat my younger brother because of this?" Is there something wrong with my brother?"

Ji Heng sneered.

He was noncommittal to Fusu's defense.

He said coldly: "There is no need to pretend to cover up."

"Hu Hai rarely comes to my place during this period, and as the crown prince, how can you not know anything about Hu Hai's recent actions?"

"Hu Hai seems to have some thoughts on your position as crown prince."

"And you have been secretly contacting the courtiers, and you may have won over a lot now, so you have some uneasiness, fear, and even dissatisfaction. As an elder brother, you cannot express it directly, but you are also very dissatisfied with the current situation. So I feel more and more irritated.”

"You have a sense of crisis."

"You haven't had this feeling before."

"Because you have conflicting political views with the First Emperor. What worries you is only the First Emperor's opinion of you."

"It's just that with the change of identity, the things you are anxious about have changed."

Fusu was silent.

He clenched his fists secretly.

He wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out.

finally.

He lowered his head feebly.

He knew that what Ji Heng said was right.

He did have a sense of crisis, especially since he had heard some rumors in the past two months, which made him even more uneasy.

He was actually confused too.

Why did I become like this?

He was actually afraid of Qi Hu Hai's threat to him.

see.

Ji Heng shook his head.

He actually understands Fusu's situation very well.

Because once power is involved, various situations can easily arise.

He said calmly: "Your situation is actually normal. Power is a double-edged sword. It can make people go further. It can also make people feel uneasy. But in the end, it all depends on who holds the power. If those who hold power can use it correctly and only regard power as a tool, they can be as comfortable as a fish in water; if they only regard power as a form of control, it will naturally lead to more disadvantages."

"You are now in this predicament."

heard.

Fusu was thoughtful.

He did get a little caught up in it.

Ji Heng sighed with emotion and said slowly: "In fact, you don't need to worry so much. You are the crown prince, and Hu Hai is just the son. After all, there is a huge difference in life between the two. And do you really think that everything that happened in Xianyang, the First Emperor Don’t understand?”

Fusu's face froze.

Ji Heng shook his head and said: "The First Emperor knows better than anyone else."

"Even this time, Hu Hai was intentionally brought along. There were naturally certain considerations involved, but it was more of a balance."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"But to put it another way, now that Hu Hai and Zhao Gao have been transferred, Xianyang you are almost supervising the country. Doesn't this give you a lot of space to do things? I have said before that once the emperor and the courtiers, the change of power is not They all stem from the system, and most of them are based on power."

"While you are alone in Xianyang, Xianyang may not really be peaceful."

"And this is actually a test for you."

"If you can deal with it calmly and make corresponding counterattacks, it will be enough to prove that you can take charge of your own business. If you not only fail to deal with it well, but also let yourself fall into a situation of right and wrong, then it may be really dangerous. The identity of the Crown Prince , it’s never easy to sit still.”

Fusu's eyes narrowed slightly.

He already understood the meaning of Ji Heng's words.

This time he was alone in Xianyang, which actually concealed the First Emperor's intention to take the exam for himself.

If he can pass the examination, he can truly secure his position as prince. Hu Hai's recent affairs in the court may not be a tacit approval, in order to stimulate his stronger will, and as Ji Heng said, Da Qin will have to Many changes were made, and many of the courtiers could no longer keep up with the times, and were destined to retire from the court.

But these people are now surrounding Hu Hai.

True.

This really gave him a crisis.

But at the same time, he also allowed himself to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

As long as you handle it properly, you can not only pass the test of the First Emperor, but also drive some of the courtiers away from the court.

Think of this.

Fusu felt relieved.

He bowed respectfully to Ji Heng and said gratefully, "Thank you sir for clarifying my doubts."

"Fusu understands."

Ji Heng nodded slightly and said calmly: "The First Emperor may be wary of you, but he is using Hu Hai to help you sort out the situation in the court. Each generation has its own things to do, and what you have to do The thing is to connect the past and the next, carry forward the past and open up the future, inherit the unfinished ambition of the First Emperor, and take a step forward at the same time."

"The dissatisfaction between the courtiers and you will actually be beneficial to your future actions."

"It's just that you have to weigh the pros and cons by yourself. If you can't figure it out, or you are in a confused situation, it will prove that you are unable to do your job."

"In this world of Da Qin, we can only advance but not retreat."

"And there are thorns everywhere."

"If we don't have the determination to wield the sword, how can we continue to move forward?"

Fusu's face turned pale.

He lowered his head, his eyes full of shame.

The successor of Da Qin wanted a tough-minded person instead of trying to make good friends with all parties. However, due to the alienation of his courtiers, he gradually became uneasy in his heart. This was not very wise. If he became trembling and fearful because of this, He was panic-stricken, fearing that he would really disappoint the First Emperor.

What Da Qin wants is a 'tyrant'.

Those courtiers who followed Hu Hai will be his "enemies" from now on and will also be an obstacle to Qin's progress.

To deal with the enemy, it is necessary to attack with thunder and wipe out all these people.

If he doesn't even have the courage to fight against these 'enemies', how can he shoulder the responsibility of the Qin Dynasty?How can you convince others?

Think clearly about these.

Fusu's eyes were clear.
