Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 342 The new policy of the Qin Dynasty is coming, and it is boundless——! (Please subscribe)
The next day, early in the morning.

Fusu has gone to the study room and started handling daily political affairs.

After this period of time, he also looked a little tired, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked like he had been overworked.

in the temple.

Wei Sheng stood about fifty steps away from Fusu, half-bowed, his attitude was very respectful, but his expression was a bit uneasy. He said timidly: "Your Highness, someone just came to report that someone visited Ji last night. Mr. Ji's residence, and Mr. Ji seemed to know it in advance and specifically told the surrounding attendants not to pay attention, so this person finally entered Mr. Ji's residence and spent more than half an hour with Mr. Ji."

heard.

Fusu's hand holding the pen trembled, and a drop of ink fell on the bamboo slip.

This blank bamboo slip was stained with a black stain.

"Has this person's identity been found out? What conversation did he have with Mr. Ji? Have you found out?" Fusu had regained his consciousness and wiped away the dripping ink with a sweat towel at hand, but a little black was still clearly visible on the bamboo slips. The stains are just not as obvious as before.

Wei Sheng lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "After I learned the news, I immediately sent someone to investigate. However, this person's identity was false. When this person got along with Mr. Ji last night, there were only two of them. , so no one knows what was discussed specifically except Mr. Ji and this person."

"Your Highness, please calm down."

Cold sweat broke out on Wei Sheng's forehead. Unable to bear the fear anymore, he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Then where is this person now?" Fusu asked tepidly.

Wei Sheng lowered his head.

He said tremblingly: "Go back, Your Highness."

"This person seemed to know that the court would investigate, so he ran away overnight."

"But I was incompetent and did not catch up."

"Your Highness, please punish me."

Fusu frowned and looked at Wei Sheng with a cold look in his eyes.

He just stared at Wei Sheng coldly.

half an hour.

He just looked away.

Throw the unclean bamboo slips aside.

"I understand." Fusu said indifferently: "This person should not have escaped very far now. You should immediately send me an order. The nearby counties and counties will search along the road to capture this person."

"No." Wei Sheng said hastily.

Fu Su said with deep eyes: "Mr. Ji has never done anything like this in the past two years. This time, Mr. Ji can take the initiative to speak and send away the attendants. I am afraid that this person has an unusual identity and is most likely to be from the Six Nations." Even if they are not the remnants, they are definitely anti-Qin people."

"It's no small matter that Mr. Ji pays such attention to this person."

"I am guilty." Wei Sheng confessed directly.

Fusu shook his head.

He sneered and said indifferently: "What's your crime? You didn't stay around. It's just that it seems that the court was a little too relaxed about Mr. Ji in the past, and the attendants around him were also relaxed."

"You will go again later."

"Go and inform Zongzheng to replace all these attendants."

"I accept the order." Wei Sheng's heart trembled.

immediately.

Wei Sheng's eyes moved and he asked tentatively: "Your Highness, Mr. Ji is so bold and reckless, probably relying on His Highness's trust. Do you want me to remind you? Let Mr. Ji know your situation? So that similar things will not happen in the future."

Fusu pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"Need not."

"Mr. Ji has made great contributions to the country."

"If it weren't for his status and his unwillingness to serve as an official, he would have been promoted to the court long ago, and why would he have been trapped in a land of several feet? Moreover, Mr. Ji never said that he would serve Qin from the beginning to the end. Mr. Ji has always been They all advocate using their erudite knowledge to earn some meager drinking money to improve their lives."

"He never restricted the identity of those who came."

"So what went wrong with Mr. Ji this time?"

"No mistake."

"Besides, Mr. Ji has his own principles, so why should we rush to break them?"

"Wouldn't this make Mr. Ji dissatisfied?"

"So be it."

"Does anyone else know about this incident?"

Wei Sheng said quickly: "Your Highness, except for a few people who know about it, the outside world does not know about it. When I inquired about this person, it was never revealed that this person had contact with Mr. Ji, so it is impossible for the outside world to know."

heard.

Fusu nodded.

"That's good."

"Replace those attendants as soon as possible."

Wei Sheng could hear the dissatisfaction and anger in Fusu's tone, so he didn't dare to say another word.

He just replied, "Your Highness is wise."

Fusu waved his sleeves and asked Wei Sheng to go and deliver the order immediately.

When Wei Sheng saw this, he quickly resigned.

Watching Wei Sheng's embarrassed figure leave, Fusu's eyes suddenly darkened. He looked at the bamboo slips he had thrown aside, hesitated again and again, and finally continued to pick them up.

He whispered: "Mr. Ji, why are you doing this?"

"I, Da Qin, are so honest with you, why do you make it difficult for me?"

"Furthermore, you have been 'dead' for many years. Even if there is someone who has an old relationship with you, they may have thought you were dead a long time ago. What's more, the people you know have died long ago, escaped, and been punished. Basically, No one is in Xianyang anymore, and you have never shown your face outside, how can they know your current situation?"

“If it’s not the old man, who is it?”

"Ugh."

Fusu sighed quietly.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it.

This person is probably a remnant of the Six Kingdoms.

Ji Heng had done his best for the Qin Dynasty, but why did he get involved with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?Moreover, Ji Heng had never had much contact with the outside world in the past. When did he get in touch with this person?If they meet by chance, it will only prove that Ji Heng is still determined to be a traitor.

No matter what the situation is, it is not what Fusu wants to see.

Fusu sat on the table and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. After hesitating for a moment, he still chose to turn a blind eye to the matter because he didn't believe that Ji Heng would really do something detrimental to Qin. If Ji Heng really did If you are anti-Qin, you don't need to do so much for Qin. You just need to sit there and watch the clouds roll and relax. Why do you spend so much time and effort making suggestions for Qin?

This doesn't make sense at all.

Nor is it necessary.

It could only be that Ji Heng had other plans.

However, no matter what Ji Heng's plan was, he would chase after this person.

Thinking of this.

Fusu felt much calmer.

He took out a document from the lacquer desk, which contained a list of "scholars" from various places.

When he saw the Peixian column, he couldn't help but frown.

"Fan Kuai."

"This person is just a butcher. He has never studied Chinese literature, cannot read Chinese characters, and has no military merit. Liu Ji actually recommends him. Do you really think that anyone in our Great Qin can be qualified? If this person is allowed to be an official, what will happen to this person?" If you go out, won't you make people laugh at you? It will also destroy the standards for selecting officials in our country. If we follow the example, won't all local officials in the future be this kind of nepotism?" "It's really ridiculous!"

Fusu was also a little annoyed.

There was no Liu Ji among the officials in his previous affairs office.

It was just that Liu Ji was so bold that he followed him, and finally interceded for Xiao He, and then he was allowed to enter reluctantly. As a result, Liu Ji seemed to take himself too seriously, and even let in illiterate people. If Liu Ji's official position were higher, would he still have to arrange for the seven aunts and eight aunts from his hometown to join him?
Fusu directly crossed out Fan Kuai.

Subsequently.

Fusu looked up.

But when he saw the roster provided by Xiao He, Fusu frowned even more tightly.

Because the first one on Xiao He's list is Fan Kuai.

Fusu still valued Xiao He very much. During the time they spent together in Lingling, he could see that this person was very talented. In the original version, he was very resistant to Fan Kuai, even a little disgusted, but Seeing that Xiao He also recommended this person, he couldn't help but feel hesitant.

What's so special about Fan Kuai?Otherwise, how could he get into Xiao He's eyes?

Is it just a butcher who really has such great skills?

Fusu was a little unsure.

He picked up his pen and kept drawing circles next to the word "Fan Kuai", thinking about it in his heart.

a long time.

He still put a check mark.

He remembered Ji Heng's deliberate reminder before.

Things cluster together.

Those who can get into Xiao He's eyes will definitely not be that simple, and the reason why he uses Fan Kuai is not because Fan Kuai has extraordinary abilities, but to win over Xiao He so that Xiao He can serve Qin Ting with all his heart.

It's just that Fan Kuai's message is too humble.

Can't get it out at all.

If it were known to the outside world, I don’t know how it would be spread.

"When these people arrive in Xianyang, we should send someone to take a test to see what kind of skills Fan Kuai has that can be recommended by Xiao He and Liu Ji. Logically speaking, a butcher should not have such connections, and it is unlikely that he will. Too much money and bribes.”

"It's weird!"

Fusu shook his head, he didn't think about it anyway.

He looked at the recommendations of other people and found that they were basically satisfactory. Nothing like this happened again. This made Fusu secretly relieved. If other people recommended people like this, Fusu would really doubt the purpose of these people.

the other side.

The First Emperor's camp has reached the seaside east of the Yangtze River, entering the sea from the mouth of the Yangtze River and heading north to Langya.

At this time, the First Emperor's hunting camp had been divided into two groups. One group was led by Yang Duanhe. In addition to escorting some of the camp's baggage and craftsmen, they continued to investigate the whereabouts of the fleeing nobles along the coast and land. The other group was led by Tao She. , all went north by boat.

This fleet is vast, with more than two hundred ships.

There are more than ten large-scale building ships, more than a hundred warships of various types, and nearly a hundred large commercial and cargo ships.

The large-scale building ships at that time could carry nearly a hundred people in addition to sailors, and could also carry three months' rations and utensils. They carried huge ships, and warships also had various names such as stern, large wing, small wing, and bridge ship. .

After the baptism of the great war, the world's shipbuilding technology has made great progress.

The technology has matured.

Not to mention far away, the nearby Lingqu canal organized a large fleet to transport 50 stones of grain and grain. Even closer, there was the large ship originally planned by Xu Fu to go to sea, which could carry hundreds of people, but now it has become a patrol. One of the fleet.

above the sea.

More than two hundred ships, large and small, were lined up in formations using the method of water warfare. There were many masts and masts, white alum clouds, and flags and horns echoing each other. It was really a magnificent sight in the world, extremely majestic.

The First Emperor was now on the huge ship planned by Xu Fu.

now.

Ying Zheng was in a good mood.

Because this is the last stop of his tour.

The bumpy journey made him mentally and physically exhausted, and he couldn't help but feel happy when he thought it was about to end, so his mood improved greatly. Although this was the first time he took a boat into the sea, he felt a little uncomfortable with the bumpy waves and the continuous sea breeze, but he was still interested. Exuberantly, he climbed onto the highest watchtower of the tower ship.

However, when Ying Zheng went up to the watchtower, what he saw was not the endless sea, but a large airtight window inlaid with glass pieces.

Ying Zheng frowned and said displeased: "Who did this?"

Zhao Gao whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the order of the imperial doctor who specializes in guarding ships. They said that the sea is constantly stormy and they are worried that Your Majesty's body cannot withstand the sea breeze, so they specially hired craftsmen to seal the windy sides of the watchtower with thick wooden boards. It is dead, and the two sides where the wind is not blowing are made of glass pieces, inlaid into a transparent and airtight ship, so that your majesty can watch the sea while resting."

"Don't worry about being affected by the wind yet."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "It is better to have a lot of wind than to have a lot of wind."

"Tear it down."

"Since we are going to sea by boat, why do we have so many worries?"

"In addition, I would like to hold a small banquet in the watchtower and have a drink with Li Si and others to watch the sea."

Zhao Gao was taken aback.

Then he responded quickly.

in a moment.

All the thick wooden boards around it were removed, but it was a pity that those precious glass pieces were damaged a lot during the disassembly process.

the other side.

Several wine tables have been listed upstairs.

The aroma of sea fish stewed in Lanling wine is already wafting from the watchtower.

Li Si and others have all arrived.

The monarch and his ministers did not eat, but looked at the sea in a daze.

Li Si sighed sincerely: "Your Majesty, this sea is so big, so vast and boundless that you can't even see the sky at a glance."

heard.

Ying Zheng and other ministers burst out laughing in unison.

Dunruo couldn't help but laugh and said: "The Prime Minister is aware that this sea is really big."

Hearing the weak ridicule, Mr. Li Si blushed and started laughing too. Then in order to save his face, Gao Sheng recited: "The sun in the east comes from the vast ocean. I have hundreds of rivers and the sea is full of waves. Da Qin The new policy is coming, and it is boundless--"

Jiangdong is the land of Chu.

Chu Feng often expresses sighs, and he likes to use 'xi' as a symbol.

At this time, Li Si was facing the sea and was sighing excitedly. He couldn't help but look very elegant. These few words made Ying Zheng and several ministers hold their hands and laugh at the same time, and they also cheered loudly.

The atmosphere in the watchtower is so lively.

Just when Ying Zheng and others were letting go of their dreams.

Zhao Gao walked lightly to the First Emperor and whispered.

The smile on Ying Zheng's face suddenly stopped, and a look of solemnity and doubt appeared between his eyebrows.

"Sea demon? Is there really a sea demon in this world?"

Zhao Gao smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know, but the alchemists accompanying me said that the so-called sea devil is a giant mackerel that appears in the sea. This fish is as big as a warship, and its fangs are like knives and saws. It can overturn The giant boat can swallow people like a grass shrimp, and there is also a kind of white giant mackerel, which is as powerful as a snow-capped mountain drum wave. One fish can overturn a fleet of boats, and it can swallow people for food, and it is even more like a whale drinking from a river."

"Those alchemists also said that the reason why they had failed to obtain the elixir before was not because they had not obtained it for several years, but because they had already found the elixir in the Immortal Mountain and found traces of the real person, but it was only in the area surrounded by the Immortal Mountain. With these sea demons blocking them, they were unable to make even half a step forward, and now there are sea demons appearing in front of the fleet, so these alchemists want to ask for your Majesty's orders."

"Get rid of the harm caused by the sea demons, and then allow them to lead the fleet to sea to obtain the elixir for His Majesty."
