My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 710: The Founding of the Princes

At the end of the year, the four gates of Xianyang City were covered with wheel tracks.

Those who were walking west were all soldiers who had retired from the army. When they first came, they were empty-handed, and now they were leaving with little.

The way home was filled with laughter.

They heard the bleating of sheep on the hillside, the low mooing of cattle deep in the woods, and the chirping of sparrows quarreling in the trees for food.

The world has never been as peaceful as it is this winter.

In the flames of war, not only were the bodies devastated, but the souls were also scarred indelibly.

Countless brothers died on the battlefield in South Vietnam.

It was not the first time that they hated war, but after experiencing the battle in South Vietnam, these arrogant soldiers who had hoped to turn their fortunes around by fighting finally recognized the essence of war and saw through the true nature of the military.

War is a political game played by the powerful, and the military is still about the distribution of interests and human relations.

They dragged their tired bodies and walked towards home.

Occasionally, on a night when the moon is unusually bright, facing the long darkness, they would miss their brothers in the underground.

There were eight brothers when we came here, but only two were left when we left.

Three people, father and son, went to the battlefield, but only the lame old father came home. With white hair, he faced the sunset and looked at the high hills of his hometown, with the wind and smoke entering his eyes.

Ghosts are for the living, and they must live. Otherwise, for the living, it would be a cruel declaration that their closest blood brothers and biological sons really no longer exist in the world.

Unlike those senior generals who once served Ying Zheng and were highly valued by Ying Zheng, the soldiers with the most ordinary status in the national army and who fought the hardest in the wars had more resentment towards Ying Zheng and had absolutely no attachment to him.

The so-called Qin Shi Huang was nothing but a megalomaniac built up of thousands and thousands of shattered Qin families and countless bones.

The moment the soldiers realize that they themselves are the building blocks of the tower, the tower itself has lost its authority.

The Qin Empire almost fell into oblivion.

Fortunately, Fusu gave them another way, to go home.

Except for the gate leading to the west, most of the people were soldiers returning home; from the east, south, and north gates of Xianyang City, huge teams marched out from Xianyang City, like ripe dandelion seeds, blown by the wind, floating in all directions, looking for suitable soil to take root in unknown areas.

These roads are filled with luxury cars and famous horses, with boxes of supplies loaded on the cars.

All of these baggage were produced with the blood and sweat of the people, but in the end they all went to people who had enough money.

They carried their spoils in all directions.

The chariots were stacked high up, connected front and back, like big, fat green snakes. Big snakes eat small snakes. If they stayed in Xianyang, they would probably drain the entire area around Xianyang dry.

When Fusu told them that there was more delicious food outside the Great Wall, they finally made the painful decision, taking away everything they could and smashing everything they couldn't take away.

If the so-called nobles and the so-called wealthy people really understood morality and etiquette, there would be no wars in the world.

After loading and cleaning, these people drove to their own fiefdoms.

At the end of the year, Xianyang city was almost half empty.

Ambitious scholars also ran away.

Qin Shi Huang was imprisoned on Mount Li. After reading the Diamond Sutra, he realized a big problem. The Diamond Sutra says that the Buddha talked for a long time, and finally said that he did not say anything. If someone says that he said something, it is slandering him.

Ying Zheng realized that reading the scriptures would not help him ascend to heaven, so he turned into a grumpy old man and tore up the silk book.

He went to find Xu Fu again and asked him to find a solution for him.

Xu Fu was trembling with fear, afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind.

Xu Fu left Ying Zheng clueless about his cultivation of immortality, but he couldn't run away, so he could only say that he lacked medicinal materials.

So Ying Zheng wrote several letters in one day to reprimand Fusu, saying that he had cut off his path to becoming an immortal and was harming him.

Ying Zheng asked Zhang Xi to give the letter to Fusu, and from then on began a long wait.

The poor emperor waited for several days, but Fusu only replied with four words: "Being unreasonable."

This made Ying Zheng so angry that he gnashed his teeth and began to turn into stone again. He stared at the direction of Xianyang all day long. He wanted to know what happened in Xianyang City, but when he asked Zhang Xi, Zhang Xi just shook his head.

This kind of life of being isolated from the world but still having good food and drink is so sad.

"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me. I really don't know."

Ying Zheng was furious, "You are such a good-for-nothing. I think the best you can do in this life is to come and see me."

Zhang Xi smiled naively.

After tormenting himself repeatedly for several months, Ying Zheng found the only way to get in touch with the outside world, which was to write a letter to Fusu.

These were only the first few months, and Ying Zheng was like a madman in prison.

The days that follow will be even longer and more difficult.
-
After moving the queen bee out of the Xianyang Palace, inviting Li Si out of Xianyang, and attracting the fat bugs to eat grass far away from home, Xianyang City finally had a chance to change blood.

The Qin Empire began to get on the right track.

Take advantage of every opportunity, seize every crisis, and turn it into a situation that is favorable to you.

This is Fusu's way of governing.

Soon, those wise men who had retired to seclusion came back, and those who were knowledgeable in the court dared to speak out.

After Li Si was dismissed, the literati group of Jizhong began to appear on the historical stage.

A great change began to brew in the city of Xianyang.

This will be an unprecedented change after hundreds of years of war.

People all over the world heard that Fusu decided to use the system model of both counties and fiefdoms.

Except for the illiterate and assetless people, everyone else was happy.

Of course, the fate of countless people also took a completely new direction with the restart of the feudal system.

Poor Zifang, he actually approached his target person - Ren Xiong - in this way and met him face to face.

Zhang Liang withdrew from Minzhong when Ren Xiong went to Minzhong to be king. He brought a lot of rare wood produced in Nanyue and planned to sell it in big cities.

Unexpectedly, we encountered Ren Xiong's carriage.

When Zhang Liang first heard the news of the enfeoffment, he felt as if his heart was torn apart and he couldn't eat the whole day.

When a firm idealist's dream is ended, it is like a bear peacock having all its tail wings plucked out.

Zhang Liang felt like his soul was being sucked away.

At the beginning, Zhang Liang was indeed unable to recover.

Because Fusu, who was well versed in history, strangled the hopes of the six kingdoms' nobles for restoration at every step before Zhang Liang did.

Zhang Liang was a strong man. He was defeated by Fusu time and time again, but he stood up again and again, trying to find new ways to complete the task of restoring his country.

But he might never figure out that this guy Fusu is a time traveler.

Just when Zhang Liang was completely desperate and wanted to find a crooked tree to hang himself, he suddenly heard a few people talking, "Once the Second Emperor starts to divide the border areas, within ten years, there will be powerful foreign princes, and the world will be in danger again." It was this sentence that gave Zhang Liang the motivation to live again.

Zhang Liang realized that even if the Kingdom of Han could never be revived, Qin II should not be allowed to have an easy time, and the destroyers of the Kingdom of Han should not be allowed to get their way. They should be made to taste the pain that I had tasted.

This kind of persistence would lead to great achievements in any field, but unfortunately Zhang Liang used it for revenge.

He was planning to look for a powerful prince to lead him to attack the State of Qin.

What a coincidence, I met Ren Xiao halfway.

Zhang Liang wanted to get close to Ren Xiong, but after hearing what Ren Xiong said, he gave up the idea.

"I don't have any big ambitions. I am blessed by my ancestors to be named King of Guang in this life. Now that I have arrived in central Fujian, I have decided not to formulate any policies or promulgate any laws. I want to drink, dance and sing every day."

Ren Xiong said this to the brothers who were accompanying him.

Of course, he later did just that.

Because of the special geographical location of the Guangdong and Guangxi areas, it was originally an undeveloped tropical rainforest with a sparse population and had experienced brutal logging.

Ren Xiong realized that the emperor's arrangement was absolutely in line with his character.

He couldn't make any waves in this fiefdom, so he just lived a leisurely and wealthy life.

Many princes looked down on Ren Xiong. Compared with the territories obtained by other princes, the Guangdong and Guangxi regions were even worse than the lands of Yan and Dai.

For a developed agricultural civilization country, taking a piece of land full of forests did not seem like a reward at all. To be precise, it was a gift.

So the Qin soldiers opposed Ying Zheng's attack on Baiyue at that time. One of the reasons was that the land of Baiyue was of little value to the people in the Central Plains. It could not be cultivated, so there was no point in occupying it.

Only merchants took the opportunity to make a profit, but they also felt pain because of the long journey.

But Ren Xiong didn't care about these, he was already very happy.

It was after hearing Ren Xiong's words that Zhang Liang gave up the idea of ​​following him.

"This person is simple-minded and will listen to me, but he doesn't have any great ambitions and won't do anything great. I'd better look for someone else."

Afterwards, Zhang Liang came to Shouchun City in Jing. He took a fancy to the vast territory and large population of Chu State, and believed that if the King of Jin, Changping Jun, wanted to rebel one day, with his help, the chances of defeating Qin would be greater.

However, it was difficult for Zhang Liang to approach Changping Jun.

This Qin noble was not such a simple person. On the way here, he was worried that he would encounter the anti-Qin Chu noble restoration forces in Jingdi.

But to be honest, Fusu gave Changping Jun such a large piece of land and conferred on him the envied title of King of Jin, so Changping Jun was really embarrassed to rebel against Fusu.

Moreover, he had seen Fusu's methods and knew that Fusu had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. If he did anything wrong, he would be the first target of Fusu's attack.

The first thing that the King of Jin, who had experienced great ups and downs, learned was to keep a low profile.

So after Xiong Qi arrived in Shouchun, the first thing he did was to appease the local people and announce that he refused to see guests.

Xiong Yi couldn't help but praise him, "Brother, you have really matured a lot and improved a lot. If you refuse to see the guests, we can save a lot of trouble."

Xiong Yi felt that "the anti-Qin restoration forces are not on the same page as us. They want to divide up the territory and enjoy power with us. How can this be possible?"

"Chu, no, now it's Jin. Jin is our world."

Xiong Qi, the King of Jin, was very happy and satisfied at first, but after hearing the word "we", he felt a little uncomfortable.

But when he looked at Xiong Yi's weathered face and his eyes full of admiration for him, he gave up the idea.

"Excellent. From today, immediately on, I will appoint you as my prime minister."

The relationship between Xiong Qi and Xiong Yi, the two brothers at that time, was stronger than gold.

And following this pair of good brothers to Jin State, there was another pair of good brothers.

They were Chen Yu and Zhang Er.

When Fusu was not in Xianyang City, Qin Shihuang deliberately promoted famous scholars under Fusu in order to demonstrate his own power and reduce Fusu's influence in the court.

Chen Yu and Zhang Er were among them.

Fusu had not had time to summon these two people.

They felt that they had not been valued for a long time in Xianyang City, and were worried that Qin II would blame them for trivial matters in the future, so they followed Xiong Qi and Xiong Yi to the State of Jin.

The State of Jin was the largest of the princes founded by Emperor Qin II. Not only did it have the largest territory, it also had the best-meaning title.

Fusu was determined to make Qin great again, but many people chose to make the vassal states great.

People of all kinds, including Zhang Liang, Chen Yu, Zhang Er, Xiang Liang, and Song Yi, all began to approach Xiong Qi.

The relationship between this King of Jin and Fusu as a monarch and his subject, and the affection between uncle and nephew, have been put on the grill by countless people.

----

After the various princes moved away from Xianyang, Fusu began to do what he had always wanted to do - reform the military merit system.

It took almost sixteen years for Fusu to ascend the throne of emperor and finally pull the Qin Empire back from the brink of destruction. Now it was time to change history.

Guo Wei Liao was the first person in the Qin Empire to support Fusu's reform of the military merit system. With his absolute military command position, Fusu had his support, and when the idea of ​​reforming the military merit system was proposed, no one in the court dared to speak out against it.

Then several generals who truly supported Fusu also stood up and spoke one by one.

Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin and Zhao Tuo all supported Fusu's actions, and they finally officially announced the news of Qin's decision to cease fire in the court.

Fusu openly said in the court, "The world has been in war for a long time. People cannot live a peaceful life. People are restless and the turmoil continues. When I first ascended the throne, I decided to implement a policy of resting the people."

"The Great Qin Empire shall not engage in war in the next three years; taxes in Guanzhong shall be reduced by 20%."

Some old ministers were very dissatisfied with Fusu's actions in the past few months.

But when they saw that generals such as Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, and Zhao Tuo all supported Fusu, they had to shut up.

After a long silence in the hall, Meng Tian finally stood up and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty is wise." Meng Yi also seconded the motion.

Feng Quji hesitated and did not come out to take the lead.

Wang Wan looked at Fusu, wondering why he didn't listen to his words.

However, in order to protect this little eagle owl that had just ascended to power, Wang Wan still stood up.

"Your Majesty's wise judgment will bring happiness to all the people in the world."

Then, an unprecedented roar broke out in the court.

"Your Majesty's judgment."

Fusu, who was sitting in the upper seat, appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually very confused.

What is going on here?
