Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 399 Da Qin’s two straws! (Please subscribe)

It was quiet all around.

There was no sound in the empty room.

at this time.

puff.

There was a falling sound outside the house.

at the same time.

There was also a more childish cry of pain.

And this cry of pain stopped abruptly after just one cry, as if the cry also knew that it should not make a sound now.

Not a moment.

A panicked voice came: "Master, I'm going out first."

Didn't wait for a reply.

The figure outside the house ran away quickly.

I didn't dare to stay any longer.

boom.

The door to the courtyard was closed.

The already quiet house fell into silence again.

Ying Sinian's episode didn't affect anything, and no one in the room even cared about it.

a long time.

Ying Zheng's voice sounded in the room again.

"Do you really think that if you grant amnesty to the world, the world will do what you want?"

"No." Ji Heng shook his head simply, and said slowly: "But at least it can alleviate it."

"This is also the simplest and most effective way."

"And His Majesty actually knows it."

"The people in the world who want His Majesty to die are not just the lower class, but also the scholars and nobles."

"They also hope that His Majesty will die soon."

"They have the same thoughts as His Majesty at the moment. They all believe that Fusu will not easily tamper with the system set by His Majesty. This also means that after Fusu takes office, he will still be unpopular because it is very different from the expectations of the people at the bottom. .”

"But this is what the remnants of the Six Nations hope to see."

"They hope that Fusu will be rigid and dogmatic, and they also hope that Da Qin will 'break his word'. Even if this 'word' does not exist, they are more willing to believe what they believe. In this case, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will get more An opportunity to make some noise.”

"In a way."

"The remnants of the Six Nations and the scholars are the reason why they have not taken action yet."

"There is also this reason."

"If the Qin Dynasty does not grant a general amnesty to the whole world, or if it really only pardons a limited range of prisoners as His Majesty said, it will undoubtedly disappoint many people in the world."

"It's disappointing to a certain extent."

"Then it's no longer disappointment, but anger and resentment."

"At that time, there won't even be any instigation from the nobles, and someone will take the initiative to gather for rebellion."

"so."

"The trouble should end it!"

"In the past, the whole world of Da Qin was tied to His Majesty. If Da Qin wants to escape from it, it must also start from His Majesty. The real danger of Da Qin has always been with His Majesty."

"The later your Majesty dies, the better it will be for Great Qin."

"If your Majesty dies early."

"That will intensify the turmoil in the world."

"Fusu is not your Majesty."

"He does not have His Majesty's prestige and deterrence in the world. Even if I take the initiative to help, I still cannot control the power vacancy in the empire for a short period of time after Your Majesty's death."

"When."

"A hasty announcement may not be effective."

"Qin has been disloyal to the world for a long time."

"I want to get the letter."

"It's bound to take time."

"And the time is not decided by Fusu himself."

"It's up to you, Your Majesty."

"Everything Fusu is doing now is to win the trust of the people in the world, establish prestige in the world, and let the people at the bottom know Fusu's existence, and also know that Fusu has a benevolent heart and can redeem the promises made by the court."

"in this way."

"In the future, they will not be able to gather people to rebel as soon as they are instigated."

Ji Heng sighed softly.

In fact, he has made many suggestions for Fusu.

But the brilliance of the First Emperor was so bright that it completely covered up Fusu's brilliance.

No matter how hard Fusu works.

He never reached the height of the First Emperor.

It’s even hard to reach.

Fusu's influence on the world is effective.

Even if he finally ascends to the throne smoothly, the world will not respect him as the second emperor of Qin as much as the first emperor.

This is completely predictable.

Ying Zheng remained silent.

Fusu indeed failed to achieve his own influence.

No matter how much Ji Heng planned for Fusu, Fusu could easily control the court.

But his influence in the world is still far-reaching.

So he can understand Ji Heng's thoughts.

He just tried every means to establish prestige for Fusu in the world.

In order to ascend to power in the future, the world will be less affected by other influences, and then the world can achieve a smooth transition.

But it's not easy.

It is easy to control the court, but difficult to control the world.

There are only thousands of ministers in the court, and they are all under your nose.

But what about the world?

That's tens of millions of people.

When a new king succeeds to the throne, how many people will feel contempt and how many people will have disapproval?

This was true when he came to the throne.

What about Fusu?

a long time.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but said: "Are there really so many people in the world looking forward to my death?"

He seemed a little unwilling to accept it.

Ji Heng nodded.

He looked at Ying Zheng with a complicated expression and said with emotion: "In fact, they may not care about His Majesty's life or death. What they long to care about is the death of the current 'King of Qin' and 'Emperor'."

"It's just that His Majesty happens to be the emperor."

"For Da Qin, there are only two real life-saving straws."

"One is His Majesty's death."

"The other one I said in prison."

"Qin Ting's final madness."

"Let's fight again!"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that there is such a provision in the "Military Nobility System" created by Shang Yang after his reform."

"Those who want to be transferred to the second level of nobility so that their biological parents will not become slaves and concubines, and those who have their ministers beheaded and become public servants, and those who wish to return to the rank of public servants and avoid having their old wives become concubines, are allowed to do so, so that they will not be treated as common people."

"If you want to return the two-level title to redeem one of your biological parents who is now a concubine, or if you, as a subject, have performed meritorious deeds and should be awarded a knighthood, please request the return of the title now. , can be used to redeem wives who are now wives and slaves, and these redeemed Qin people can be exempted from becoming common people."

"Although I have not seen the situation at that time, it was the scene when this system was announced."

"But it's conceivable."

"They must have been very inspired, and they all clapped and applauded."

"How many people who have served their whole life feel as if they have seen the light of day again. The reason why the Qin army is so brave and unafraid of death may not be inspired by the "Military Rules"."

"What do you mean?" Ying Zheng looked wary.

"This is the second straw for Qin, the "Military nobility system"." Ji Heng said slowly: "If the world is amnesty, it will be difficult to prevent the world from falling into turmoil. In the end, the Qin Dynasty can only rely on the "Military nobility system". This is also the reason for the people of Guanzhong What I like most is to use the prisoners from Guanzhong to conquer the world again."

"The winner is Qin Cun."

"The loser, Qin will perish."

"Nothing more than that."

"But if possible, I don't want the world to end up in this situation, because even if Fusu sweeps the world again, Fusu will still face the same difficulties that His Majesty faced back then, and it will even be more severe."

"Because of this big chaos."

"The world's population will drop sharply, and local villages will disappear in large numbers."

"And the system created by His Majesty was destined to require a lot of people to support it from the beginning. In the past, the world was in short supply of money and food, but at that time, Great Qin was short of not only money and food, but also a large number of people."

"A large number of hard-working and submissive cows and horses."

"And then."

"Even if Da Qin wins, it is destined to be destroyed."

"Because most people in the world cannot bear more cruel exploitation."

Ji Heng sighed softly.

Although in that case, the world's population would not be reduced by half and thousands of villages would be deserted, but after experiencing the cruel and cold-blooded exploitation of the Qin system, except for the people in Guanzhong who can accept victory, I am afraid that no one in Guandong will be able to accept it, and they will inevitably have to return the favor. There was all kinds of unrest.

How can this be the blessing of the world?

Ying Zheng remained silent.

How could he not imagine the scene at that time.

The method that Ji Heng mentioned from beginning to end was to use his own death in the future to calm the world more quickly, and he could not die easily until Fusu established enough prestige.

Once dead.

Fusu's prestige was not fully established.

There will definitely be chaos in the place.

The size of the final chaos will depend on the time of his death. The longer he delays, the more stable the Qin Dynasty will be, and the more room for maneuver left to Fusu will be in the future.

But can my body really delay it for a long time?

Ying Zheng doesn’t know.

He couldn't give a definite answer either.

Now he is no longer in the past, spending all day with medicine jars.

I even fainted directly once.

And he gradually realized that as he got sick repeatedly, his mind was no longer as clear as usual.

Only when your life is at stake can you truly appreciate how short and precious life is.

He was truly magnificent.

But now he is a candle in the wind.

It's just that he is still a little unwilling in his heart. He doesn't want to leave everything to Fusu, and wants to do it himself.

Do you also want to see for yourself how things are changing between heaven and earth?

Ji Heng didn't speak again.

Today, Ying Zheng is like a farmer, walking from the end of the field to the end, always looking for the strongest and most perfect ear of wheat, missing the lush middle crops, always pinning his hope on the front, until he is almost at the end. .

Only then did he suddenly realize that he had no choice but to panic.

After all.

Ying Zheng is still too high-spirited.

He doesn't like to leave things in other people's hands, and he doesn't like to leave things to others.

He prefers to do everything on his own.

Even at any cost.

Ying Zheng put his hands on the case and stood up again. He looked at Ji Heng indifferently, and his voice was a bit murderous, and he said slowly: "Ji Heng, I will trust you for the last time."

"gone."

"The weather is getting cold."

Ji Heng took a few steps forward and helped Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng frowned, but in the end he did not refuse, and the two of them left the house one after another.

Ying Zheng said nothing.

He just stood in the courtyard, looking at everything in front of him.

The cold wind blew against my face, making me feel chilly.

Although spring is approaching, the weather is still bitterly cold, and the mulberry trees in Jiheng Courtyard are still bare. Only a few remaining pieces of cloth are fluttering in the wind, as if they are sending their final farewells. The surroundings are so cold that it is scary.

Ying Zheng said: "How about this boy Ying Sinian?"

Ji Heng smiled and said, "It's okay. After staying in the palace for too long, I'm a little squeamish after all. But I'm getting better now, but my head seems a little unclear and lacks flexibility. It still needs more tempering."

Ying Zheng frowned.

He said displeasedly: "After all, he is still a child."

"How can you ask for too much?"

immediately.

Ying Zheng's expression softened a little, and he added: "It's okay to stay outside for more time. No matter how good the things in the palace are, they are still a bunch of dead things. It is difficult for him to understand the true truth. Only those who have truly experienced and seen , only then did I realize that the principles in the book are so profound.”

Ji Heng chuckled and said slowly: "I don't have that much sense, only a lot of nonsense."

"And I'm asking a high price."

"It's just that I may need a lot of money in the future, otherwise I won't accept this child."

Ji Heng still adheres to his principles.

Ying Zheng looked at Ji Heng deeply, nodded, and said meaningfully: "Yes, but I don't want him to become the second Fusu."

Ji Heng smiled and said: "What Ying Si Nian will become in the end is his own decision. I will not have any influence. This small courtyard of mine is just for him to live here. As for studying, he can only That "Book of Language", "Arithmetic" and other things should not be taught by a 'dead man' like me, it is unlucky."

Ying Zheng coughed.

"You're a dead man."

"But after all, I am not dead, but I am really going to die."

"However, I can promise you that I will die as late as possible."

"If I fail to do so, I will break my promise."

"I will ask Fusu to give you three bottles of wine as an apology."

"Your Majesty has a body of thousands of gold. Three pots may not be enough. At least thirty pots are needed." Ji Heng said with a smile on his lips.

"Okay, thirty pots is thirty pots." Ying Zheng nodded in agreement. This bet with Ji Heng seemed to arouse Ying Zheng's fighting spirit. He looked up at the dim sky and solemnly said: "This time I I really want to see if I, the emperor of the human world, can beat half a son of heaven."

"Haha."

Ying Zheng laughed, broke away from Ji Heng's support, and walked out the door alone.

But as he approached the door of the house, Ying Zheng stopped again. He did not turn around, but turned his back to Ji Heng. He said silently: "Ji Heng, do you think anyone in the palace is also looking forward to my death?!"

Ying Zheng's voice was very low.

But with an obvious chilling air.

"I don't know anything about the affairs in the palace. If your majesty says it is possible, it will be done. If your majesty says there is no, then there will be no." Ji Heng said with deep eyes, "Everything depends on your majesty."

"I understand."

Ying Zheng left.

Take firm and decisive steps.

Ji Heng stood in the courtyard, took a long breath, and sighed: "The emperor is old, a generation of heroes, it is time to retire, but when I retire, what will the world be like, and how can I still be in this world?" How long will you stay?”

Ji Heng doesn't know.

He has returned to the warm lobby.

It's still too cold in the courtyard.

The lobby is still warm with a stove.

Soon.

Ying Si Nian came back with a bang.

But when he saw that Ji Heng was the only one in the room, he couldn't help but feel a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He looked around and said, "Master, I seem to hear my grandfather's voice in front of me. Where is my grandfather? Have you gone back?"

Ji Heng said lightly: "I don't know."

"Master is lying, I clearly heard it just now." Ying Sinian said angrily.

Ji Heng turned over and said slowly: "If you want to know about your grandfather, just ask your grandfather directly. Why do you ask me? I'm not familiar with your grandfather."

"Stop hanging around in the house and put the rice in the jar. Don't let it get wet. It will become damp and moldy, and it will be a waste."

"That's all money I saved myself!"

"The gold is precious."
