Prime Minister of Great Qin

clang.

Suddenly, a soft and rich bell sounded from the Qiao Tower in the Imperial City.

This is the noon clock.

Ying Ben said softly: "Your Majesty, it's noon, it's time to eat."

Ying Zheng raised his head, glanced outside the palace, seemed to remember something, and asked, "Have Fusu and the others gone outside the city?"

Ying Ben nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we have all gone to pick up Mr. Hu Hai."

immediately.

Ying Ben seemed to realize something and asked tentatively: "Now that your Majesty's children are outside the city, it is rare for them to gather together. As a king and father, you should actually go and see them."

"Me?" Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "Forget it."

"I won't join in the fun."

"It's up to them brothers and sisters to handle matters on their own."

"I'm going, they don't feel comfortable."

Ying Ben said: "Why did your majesty say this? Your majesty is the father of the king. Now, except for Ji Heng, everyone who lives in Ji Heng's residence outside the city is of your majesty's blood. The family is reunited and enjoying themselves. Who dares to object? I'm afraid that your highness and the rest of the family are reunited. The princes and princesses are all looking forward to His Majesty’s arrival.”

"They also want His Majesty to go."

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment.

He seemed moved, but finally refused.

It is indeed a wonderful thing for the whole family to gather together, but Ying Zheng also knows that his identity is destined to make people feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe Fusu and others are indeed happy, but at the same time they will also have a lot of restraints, which will make them feel uncomfortable. The original intention of this gathering.

"Next time, there's still more time." Ying Zheng shook his head.

See this.

Ying Ben hesitated to speak, and finally stopped trying to persuade him.

He got up and went to get the prepared meal.

Ying Zheng sat alone in the main hall, but felt endless desolation and loneliness.

He has truly become a loner now.

He sighed.

There are also mixed feelings in my heart.

The closer he got to the last moment of his life, the more sober his thoughts became.

Sudden.

An inexplicable state of mind suddenly emerged.

He stared at the brilliant world outside, but his eyes were filled with endless nostalgia.

It's just that he doesn't have much time to be attached to it.

In Ying Zheng's view, his life is constantly declining.

Perhaps it won't take long for his life to end. His sobriety at this moment may be God's last favor for him, so that he can properly arrange his posthumous affairs.

Ying Zheng looked at the spacious and quiet hall, and a trace of cold tears climbed up his cheeks.

His heart throbbed violently.

Various situations in the court appeared in his mind one by one.

The first thing he thought of was Li Si.

Even though the situation in Xianyang was stable, without him as the emperor, it was difficult to say that there would be no unexpected events.

Any move must be prepared for eventualities.

This incident at Zhangtai Palace made Ying Zheng full of uneasiness and caution about what happened after his death.

Although the crown prince has been established, if someone in the court conspires to usurp the edict and follow the example of Zhao Gao and others, accidents may not happen.

A thought flashed through my mind.

Zhao Gao suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and Li Si appeared again.

Now Zhao Gao has been executed, but Li Si is still alive.

Zhao Gao dared to look for Li Si, because Li Si himself was in trouble. Otherwise, why would the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty target Li Si? Moreover, as the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si had been in power for more than 30 years and had huge power second only to himself. The reason why Li Si was not persuaded by Zhao Gao last time was mainly because he had approached Li Si in advance.

What if I didn't look for it at the time?

Will Li Si be persuaded?

Ying Zheng didn't dare to gamble, nor did he want to gamble.

Can't even afford to gamble.

There are also Feng Quji and Feng Jie.

One is the Right Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, and the other is the Commander-in-Chief. They have too much power, and they can imitate Zhao Gao, but they have to guard against it.

The courtiers of Great Qin appeared in Ying Zheng's mind one after another.

finally.

A cruel look flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

Li Si must retreat.

He originally planned to let Li Si stabilize the court for Fusu for a period of time in the future, and then retire with dignity, but now, he is unwilling to give Li Si such a chance again, and Feng Jie, the commander-in-chief, must be replaced, and the military power It must be delivered to someone Fusu trusts.

All kinds of thoughts were swirling in Ying Zheng's mind.

Ying Zheng is also constantly giving solutions and coping methods.

After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction. He had already thought about how to leave a more stable court for Fusu. When Fusu came to the throne, there would no longer be someone as powerful as Li Si. "Powerful ministers", and there is no big family like the Feng family where "generals and ministers" are all in the court. All possible factors that may lead to "unforeseen circumstances" have been taken into consideration by Ying Zheng.

They were all resolved one by one by him.

But there is one more person.

Think of this person.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but look complicated.

This man's contribution to the Qin Dynasty was no less than that of Li Si.

Even more so.

It's just that this person is too deep-minded, and Fusu City is no match for him. If he doesn't take precautions again and again, he can easily be manipulated by this person and fall step by step into the trap that this person has set long ago.

In the end, you can only rely entirely on this person.

but.

Ying Zheng's eyes darkened.

If his body can support it.

Naturally not afraid.

You can also let it do what you want without too much influence.

It’s just that now his body can no longer bear it, and the various conflicts in Da Qin have indeed been suppressed for a short time, and there is a sign of prosperity, but this is just an illusion. When he dies, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, scholars from all over the world and other anti-Qin forces will , will jump out immediately, and the originally peaceful situation will be broken instantly.

If the court fails to handle one situation well, it may lead to chaos in the world.

This mess. Apart from himself, I am afraid that only Ji Heng can deal with it.

And this is destined to give people a handle.

He has always been a bit blind to Ji Heng. As he said a long time ago, Ji Heng never entered the court and basically did not walk around outside. But that was when he was around. If he died, Ji Heng would still be able to Can you hold back?

Can Fusu suppress it?

a long time.

Ying Zheng shook his head.

Now Da Qin wants Ji Heng.

Ji Heng is also needed to make suggestions for Da Qin.

If Ji Heng really has other thoughts in the future, he can only rely on Fusu to solve them.

The only thing he could do was to alert Fusudo.

That's all.

It was impossible for him to attack Ji Heng now.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes for a moment and cleared his mind of thoughts. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to his previous appearance.

Ying Ben also returned to the main hall.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Ben and said with a smile: "Zong Zheng, you can eat it too. The Great Qin royal family does not have so many rules. However, after what happened last time, I have realized that maybe I did something to the palace hastily. It would be inappropriate to make changes."

"It's also very inappropriate."

"It's just that I may not have much time to correct it."

"We can only let Zong Zheng worry more."

"If Fusu has any good ideas in the future, or wants to follow the old path, then let him go."

"Your Majesty." Ying Ben fell to the ground and held back his cries.

Ying Zheng said sadly: "Zong Zheng, what do you mean by this?"

"I'm just giving you some instructions."

"Don't worry, I won't be able to leave for a while. It won't be a big deal if I survive for another six months."

"When I founded the country, I sought innovation and change in everything."

"Actually, I made a lot of mistakes."

"Just as Lord Shang said at the time: 'If you don't govern the world according to the rules, the country will follow the ancient laws.' There is never a rigid criterion for governing the world. Don't think that what I do is necessarily right. This will affect the future political affairs of the Qin Dynasty. If there is any obstruction, as long as it is ultimately beneficial to Great Qin, some of my ideas will have to change."

"It's wrong to stick to the old ways and be complacent."

"But it's up to Zongzheng to make his own judgment."

"Haha."

Ying Zheng smiled.

Seeing that Ying Ben was in tears and speechless, Ying Zheng shook his head and said nothing more.

For several months.

The world is very peaceful.

What happened in Xianyang also spread to the world.

It's just that Guandong is still too far from Xianyang, and the matter has calmed down without causing too many waves in Guandong.

The focus of the entire Guandong land, and even the Great Qin Dynasty, is still on the casting of copper coins. Under the huge attraction of copper coins, Meng Yi has successively taken back a lot of Guandong economic power, but it is only a small taste. The officials of the Great Qin Dynasty are still too few in comparison. , although there are military officer academies in the north and south to supplement it, but compared to the entire Kanto land, it is still not enough.

And it is far from enough.

However, the world has indeed entered a rare period of peace.

As the weather gets colder.

Yingzheng's time in power has become less and less.

The court gradually came under Fusu's control. Less than a month after Zhao Gao and others executed Li Si, he took the initiative to submit his resignation and announced that he would retire and return to his hometown. After three rejections, Ying Zheng finally agreed to Li Si's resignation. Returning to his hometown gave Li Si a very high favor.

As for the doctor's order, Feng Jie, he was implicated to a certain extent because of the Zhangtai Palace incident.

Being exempted from the rule.

No more dealing with palace guard matters.

Meng Tian, ​​who was originally placed in the Lantian camp, now returned to the court again and was appointed as the 'fake' prime minister.

And the doctor orders.

The veteran Yang Duanhe will temporarily take charge.

In just a few months, the situation in Da Qin's court has undergone tremendous changes.

And all this seems reasonable.

Late November.

The first winter snow arrives.

In a spacious house in Xianyang Xicheng.

Suddenly there was a burst of joyful screams.

"Success."

"It finally worked."

"I, Hu Hai, succeeded in making paper."

"."

Hu Hai looked at the cleaning ink stains left on the case, which was not as large as the stained paper in the past. He couldn't hide the excitement on his face. Since he was released from prison, he has focused all his attention on making paper. It's just that it will undoubtedly take a lot of time and energy to make the paper with his own efforts.

But he happened to have it.

After trying, failing, and trying again, he finally succeeded.

now.

Hu Hai cried with joy.

He rarely does anything really well.

Even if he was reciting the laws and regulations, he could indeed recite them, but he actually had no idea what they meant.

After he was released from prison last time, he was actually hit hard and felt that he could do nothing, so he always wanted to prove himself and prove that he was not useless.

He wanted the First Emperor to see it.

He, Hu Hai, is not that unbearable.

The First Emperor's original love for him was not wrong.

Like other brothers, he can do something for Da Qin.

Hu Hai wiped away his tears and started making paper again. He wanted to verify again to verify whether it was an accident this time or whether he had indeed succeeded.

The snow is falling and my heart is feeling warm. (End of chapter)
