Qin Hu

Chapter 128 You may not die, but life would be worse than death

The first emperor hated the enfeoffment system, and no one in the court knew it, and no one knew it.

Hu Hai was very young but he liked Ying Zheng very much. He often listened to Ying Zheng and ministers play against each other on weekdays, how could he not know about it.

Besides, Hu Hai's teacher is Zhao Gao, the one in the court who knows Ying Zheng's thoughts the most.

If it was the past, Hu Hai would definitely not say such things that go against Ying Zheng's ideas, but now there is no difference between saying it or not saying it.

Hu Hai bared his teeth and rubbed his forehead, and said quietly: "With my brother here, there is no chance for the position of the second emperor."

I must have thought about it before, which prince would not want to sit in this position, and control all living beings in the world as cattle and horses, it makes me feel good to think about it!
But now, the eldest brother Fusu has been canonized as the crown prince, and the elder brother Zihu has become the heart of the father.

He took his head to fight for the position of the second emperor.

Especially brother Zihu who is right in front of him, the gap between them...not to mention, the two are incomparable.

Even the teacher said there was no hope at all!
You know, when the father and the emperor canonized the elder brother Fusu as the crown prince, the teacher just sighed a few times.

As for now, the teacher is afraid that he has never thought about whether he can sit on the position of the second emperor, so he just wants to let his daughter Diao Chan sit on the second queen's position... Obviously the teacher has also stood by Brother Zihu this side.

"Father is still here, I'm waiting for these princes, all have a chance."

Zhao Zihu said casually to Hu Hai, and glanced at the other stinky brothers beside him.

Hu Hai waved his hand and said: "With my elder brother here, anyway, I don't have the heart anymore. To enjoy the glory and wealth, a happy life is enough."

"Brother Yao is right, there is an elder brother, we brothers, we don't have any messy thoughts!"

"What are you fighting for? Who can compete with elder brother? Whoever fights, who is in a hurry!"

"It is already a great honor for us to be born as a prince, and there is no need to think about other things."

"That's right, that's right, we are the only ones who will follow the lead of the elder brother!"

All the stinky brothers expressed their complete agreement with Hu Hai's words, and it is useless not to think about the position of the second emperor.

Zhao Zihu curled his lips and cursed with a smile: "A bunch of worthless bastards!"

The stinky brothers responded with heartless and naive smiles, but Hu Hai hesitated to speak, and after thinking twice, he still said, "Brother, we will follow my brother to follow my brother, will we be able to get my brother's carefree protection in the future? "

The words are not transparent, but the meaning in the words is very obvious.

It means that we have always surrounded you. If you become the second emperor in the future, will you protect them and enjoy this life in peace.

The rest of the stinky brothers, upon hearing Hu Hai's words, also looked up at Zhao Zihu expectantly.

This is equivalent to asking Zhao Zihu for a promise.

Zhao Zihu didn't know Hu Hai's careful thinking, he pondered: "If there is a day, you don't do evil, you can enjoy yourself as you want, I don't bother to care about you. But if you do that evil..."

"Maybe you won't die, but you should live a life worse than death."

After saying this, everyone didn't think it was exaggerated. After all, they had followed Zhao Zihu for a long time and knew the character of this brother very well.

Ding is Dingmao is Mao, if they really ran into a matter of principle, it was their own fault.

Hu Hai was the first to laugh and said, "If you have elder brother's words, that's enough!"

"Well, I will be taught by my brother, how can I do evil things, absolutely not, absolutely not!"

"With the protection of my elder brother, we are determined to be happy in this life, what more can I ask for!"

Zhao Zihu twitched the corner of his mouth: "Okay, okay, stop flattering, there is still a bloody smell in your breath, get out of the city and get some fresh air!"

Immediately, the group left Dongwu County, rode on horses, and went hunting in the countryside.

Zhao Zihu rode in front, and said to himself: "There are many tigers in Qidi, but I haven't seen them in this period of time. I wonder if I have good luck today!"

The Qidi at this time is not the Qidi of the past, and there are many big bugs like tigers.

Shandong, in ancient times, was called Tiger Mist Cloud.

Lots of tigers, thick smoke, heavy fog!
Tyranny is fiercer than tigers, this allusion comes from Qi.

It is about Confucius passing by Mount Tai and saw a woman crying in the cemetery, so he asked Zilu to ask.

After asking, I found out that the whole family of this woman had been killed by tigers.

Confucius asked the woman why she didn't move away from the tiger, but the woman said that there is no tyranny here.

So Confucius said the word tyrannical tiger to Zilu.

In addition, Wu Song of the later generations fought tigers in Jingyanggang, and Li Kui killed four tigers in Yiling, all of which were also within the scope of Qilu.

The whole body of a tiger is full of treasures. Needless to say, the skin, flesh and bones, that whip is something that many men dream of!
Zhao Zihu never lost the idea of ​​fighting tigers all the way, especially after the fierce battle day and night with Xiangliyue.

It's a pity that the Eastern Patrol Army marched too much, and a cautious beast like a tiger had long been hiding away.

Unfortunately, Zhao Zihu still failed to find the tiger today.

However, Lu Zi shot and killed two of them, and when he returned to the tent, he decisively let Ben Boer Ba Ba Boer drink the deer blood wine and deer antler whip wine.

"Good stuff! Good stuff!"

Zhao Zihu pouted, and said to the two of them: "Hide them all for me, don't be seen by Big Huyou and Little House!"

"Yes, son!"

The two carried a jar each, ran to a corner and hid it tightly, carrying out Zhao Zihu's order to the extreme.

Zhao Zihu nodded in satisfaction: "Good job, light a fire, let's grill the venison!"

Benboerba Benboerba took the order and left, and after a while, he brought fresh venison that had been cleaned up.

Under Zhao Zihu's order, the venison was cut into large pieces and skewered with bamboo sticks.

If you want to eat skewers, you have to eat big chunks to be cool!

Zhao Zihu operated it himself, flipping it back and forth on the fiery red charcoal, the grease sizzling non-stop, and the smell of meat overflowing.

At this time, Zhao Tuo came to the tent, bowed his hands and said, "My lord, the royal envoy Feng Jie is asking to see you!"

"Feng Jie? Why is he looking for me?"

Zhao Zihu blinked and said without raising his head, "Bring him in."

"only!"

After Zhao Tuo withdrew, he soon led Feng Jie.

Feng Jie entered the camp, and bowed to Zhao Zihu: "Feng Jie, I have seen you, Young Master!"

"You can smell the fragrance, Doctor Feng?"

Zhao Zihu smiled, and handed the crispy, fragrant and browned venison to Feng Jie: "Taste my master's cooking!"

"Thank you, son!"

Feng Jie knew that this young master was careless, so he took the venison over.

The main reason was the smell of the barbecue, which really made his tongue salivate after he hadn't had any appetite for many days.

"Sir, good workmanship!"

Feng Jie took two bites, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of oily juice, and praised in a loud voice.

Zhao Zihu smiled without saying a word, raised his hand and handed another piece to Zhao Tuo who was swallowing beside him: "It's very hot, don't swallow your tongue!"

"Ha, no, no!"

Zhao Tuo took the roasted venison and walked away cheerfully.

Feng Jie ate a bunch of venison three times, five times and two times, only to find that Zhao Zihu was looking at him with a smile.

"Let the son laugh."

Feng Jie wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and said embarrassedly.

Zhao Zihu shook his head and said, "It's okay, people who eat my food are just like you, I'm used to it."

While speaking, he glanced at Zhao Tuo beside him.

Feng Jie also looked over, the guy was holding skewers in both hands, hissing hissing and chewing with his head tilted, the food was even uglier than him.

"Doctor Feng came to see me, is there something wrong?" Zhao Zihu asked suddenly.

Feng Jie came back to his senses, his face returned to normal, and then he smiled wryly: "I'm not going to lie to you, Mr. Hu, I really need you to help me with something."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Zihu asked curiously.

Feng Jie sighed, and looked at Zhao Zihu: "Master Zihu, can you... can you get some iron eagle warriors to give me Yushitai?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zihu frowned and said, "Why did Doctor Feng say that?"

"My lord, we know that in this county and county, whenever criminal officials are arrested and investigated, there will be censors..."

Feng Jie showed a wry smile again, and laughed at himself: "The Yushitai is ashamed, and I, the imperial envoy doctor, will soon lose face."

Of course, Zhao Zihu knew something about the counties and counties on the way.

As Feng Jie said, every time a criminal official is sacked in a county or county, some censors will participate in it, and there will be a nest of rats and ducks.

In fact, this situation is quite normal.

Nowadays, Yu Shitai and Tie Ying Rui Shi are both bright and dark, monitoring the officials of Chaotang counties and counties, but it is not unilateral. Hundreds of officials can also impeach Yu Shi and Tie Ying Rui Shi, which can be regarded as the two sides can supervise each other.

Similarly, this mutual supervision will inevitably turn into complicity at some point.

Iron Eagle Switzerland is better, it is in the dark itself, and the officials want to pull them into the water, they have to find out who they are first.

And those censors are different from him, they are the supervisors on the surface.

As long as the officials are willing to contact them, it will be too difficult for the censors to persevere in the various corruptions of the officials.

People have interests and needs, and people have weaknesses. This is very incomprehensible.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the censor is more likely to be dragged into the water by those criminals than Iron Eagle Switzerland, which leads to a large proportion of the criminals who have been executed recently.

This Feng Jie came to him to ask for help, probably because this value is quite large, and Yushitai might be about to collapse.

Zhao Zihu smiled. He probably understood Feng Jie's thoughts. He flipped the barbecue in his hand: "Doctor Feng, I think you are not only looking for someone from me, but also a Mohist disciple, right?"

"I also ask Mr. Zihu to help me one or two times, and save me Yushitai!" Feng Jie said with his hands in his hands.

In fact, before Feng Jie came to find Zhao Zihu, he had already gone to the old Xiangli's important person, but he was declined by the old Xiangli.

But Feng Jie did not give up, he knew that the Mo family had taken refuge in Zhao Zihu, so he came to Zhao Zihu.

Zhao Zihu didn't answer the question, but said: "The disciples of the Mohist school have learned the theories of the Mohist school, and they have some ideals of unity in their hearts. They are chivalrous and righteous, and hate evil as much as enemies. However, Dr. Feng, Mohist disciples, are also human beings."

"They may be able to stick to their hearts with a high probability in my Tie Ying Rui Shi. That's because they are in the dark and do not directly contact officials!"

"If they serve as censors on the surface, and they have been corrupted by the interests of officials for a long time, who can guarantee that their minds will not loosen?"

"Once their thoughts are corrupted, what's the difference with those censors?"

Zhao Zihu politely refused, after all, he thought Tie Yingrui had few people, so how could he send them away.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with what you say, human nature is the most untestable.

Scholars who practice Mohist theory are superior to other schools of thought in terms of ideal Datong.

The same rice feeds all kinds of people, and what is sacred can only be an individual, never a group.

As far as the Mohist school is concerned, not all the Mohist children are good guys, there will always be one or two rat droppings mixed in.

For the position of censor, the straight-forward Mohists are not so suitable.

On the contrary, Confucianism, which is slightly inferior, is actually good. Although they are mostly empty talk and preaching, at least they can occupy the righteousness on the surface.

So, Zhao Zihu continued: "In my opinion, Dr. Feng might as well recruit more Confucian scholars instead of old-fashioned ones, and just find young ones. The younger the better. This kind of Confucian scholars still have ideals and ambitions, and they are more ambitious. Go!"

"A young Confucian scholar?"

Feng Jie thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Young people are more aggressive, but they are also more impetuous, and I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand corruption."

Zhao Zihu ate a mouthful of venison by himself, and said vaguely: "That's better than being old and sophisticated. The lesser of two evils, young people are less likely to be corrupted. If they are really corrupted, then there is nothing to say. Just kill it!"

"Also, you must have a strict self-examination and self-correction system inside your censor platform. Especially when a censor falls, you have to report it from top to bottom. Analyze why they fell and how they fell step by step , In the end, it was too late for me to be unable to extricate myself.”

"How to harm others and yourself, how to harm the whole family, how to report the benefits and harms, so as to imitate others, the latecomers should introspect and police themselves!"

Feng Jie secretly kept these words in his heart while listening. Everyone understands the truth, but they did not bring these matters to the fore. I know it well, so I don't need to say much.

But after hearing Zhao Zihu's words now, he realized that this kind of thing really should be done more.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is to scare the latecomers!
After talking up to this point, Feng Jie also understood that he was going to be a disciple of the Mo family from Zhao Zihu.

But obviously, there was something in the stomach of this clan tycoon, and he couldn't help but want to take out something more.

Feng Jie sighed: "I don't know, the censor is really hard to do. Even though we are fair and honest, those officials are very targeted and strictly guarded against death. It is very difficult to investigate cases and make meritorious deeds. Censor, it's even more difficult for them!"

"Since the censors in counties and counties are difficult, then we should work hard on the censors. Isn't it appropriate for the two to cooperate?"

Zhao Zihu said with a half-smile: "Although according to the regulations, every time the inspector censors go to a place, they have to accept the people's petitions with great fanfare. However, there is no rule that your inspector censors can't disguise themselves first and secretly Are you making an unannounced visit?"
