Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 257: Xiao He is a mediocre person, but the times create heroes (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
Even the prince was unwilling to intercede for the Lishan prisoners.

Then will the 50 prisoners under his command be trapped here forever?

Li Sili Jijiu, who had previously been a Tingwei, presided over the construction of the mausoleum. At that time, the Tingwei had orders not to leave the tomb without permission until the mausoleum was completed.

When Zhang Han was ordered to come to Lishan to preside over the construction of the mausoleum, although he was grateful for the emperor's attention, he saw that some of these prisoners even wanted to seek death to get rid of such a heavy work.

Not only that, Zhang Han learned that this year, the number of people who died of exhaustion, illness, and accidents due to the imperial mausoleum will approach [-].

Zhang Han was originally in the fifth school and was in charge of prisoners, but at that time his main task was to classify, allocate, and supervise prisoners.

As for the imperial mausoleum, it was previously built by His Majesty the emperor's important ministers.

He was promoted to design the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum only because of his meritorious service in building the Lishan Pavilion.

All of these 50 prisoners are under his control.

Such an astonishing number would make even a general look at it with suspicion.

But the fact is that all these prisoners are now under his jurisdiction.

Zhang Han knew that he had a heavy responsibility, but he couldn't bear that such a large number of people continued to do these heavy labors every day.

Maybe something can be done about the age of the prisoners. At least some old people should no longer build imperial tombs here.

There are 50 people in the mausoleum today.

In three or four years, all the infrastructure pits finally determined after repeated modifications and expansions will be dug.

So can these prisoners be released?

This is the question that Zhang Han was thinking about before.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually took the initiative to seek His Majesty's grace for the prisoners in the imperial palace and imperial city.

Zhang Hangang felt that His Highness the Crown Prince's reputation for benevolence and righteousness was not in vain.

But unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, the Crown Prince rejected him bluntly and predictably.

Zhang Han stood with his head hanging on the ground. Behind him, the officials looked at me and I looked at you.

There was silence in the car for a moment, and then there was another sound.

"Zhang Jiangzuo - Jun's father values ​​Zhang Jiangzuo very much. Fusu believes that when General Zhang completes the construction of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, it will be the day when Zhang Jiangzuo will be promoted to an official position. The opportunity is right in front of him, General Zhang. But take advantage of it.”

These words are intriguing, as if he is warning him not to cause too many troubles.

Zhang Han collected himself and immediately calmed down.

Surrounded by the prince's people, Zhang Han's bronze cheeks smiled in full view.

"Zhang Han understands the intention of the prince. I also ask the prince to say a few kind words for Zhang Han after he returns to the palace."

"General Zhang is shrewd and meticulous in his official duties. Fusu will truthfully report to his father what he heard and saw at the Lishan Mausoleum."

Zhang Han bowed.

"Thank you Junhou."

Fusu was the prince and did not want to interfere with the issue of Ying Zheng's mausoleum.

The imperial mausoleum is definitely not an ordinary project. This is the place where the soul of the ancestral dragon returns to the ground. Fusu is the successor, so naturally he should not speak on sensitive issues.

What's more, Fusu has no way to guarantee that Ying Zheng will not pursue immortality in the future.

If he intercedes now, and there will be a rift between the two of them in the future, then this matter will become the fuse.

This is the disadvantage of being established as a prince in advance.

Some things, you have to be careful and careful.

"Let's go."

Zhang Han stood behind the carriage.

"I respectfully send His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhang Han stood on the ground with a respectful bow, listening to the sound of the prince's car turning away.

The goodwill towards the prince in the past naturally faded today.

Even Xiao He was puzzled by this matter.

On the way to the Lishan Pavilion, Xiao He asked again.

"My ministers have heard that there are 50 prisoners in Lishan. Since His Highness has asked for a pardon for the prisoners who built the imperial city and the imperial mausoleum, why don't you intercede for the 50 prisoners in Lishan."

"My father is the First Emperor, and his achievements are unprecedented and unparalleled. After a hundred years, His Majesty's soul will return to the imperial mausoleum. Naturally, this imperial mausoleum will also be unprecedented and unparalleled. The construction of the imperial mausoleum must be carried out at any cost. , let alone 50 prisoners, 70 prisoners will be used in the future, and the imperial mausoleum must be built."

Xiao He suddenly felt a chill running down his spine when he heard the prince say this.

The tone of the prince's speech was completely consistent with that of the emperor.What the prince said at this time must be the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor.

In short, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care how many thousands of prisoners there are, or the fate of those prisoners.In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, even if those people died, it would not be surprising.

The only thing His Majesty the First Emperor cared about was his imperial mausoleum.

All the people in the world are prisoners of His Majesty.

Wei Liaozi was indeed right.

Qin Huang relied on thousands of troops and horses to control the world, and he also wanted to rule the world with thousands of troops.

Can't be bothered.

Xiao He broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly saw a white veil in front of him.

Taking a closer look, it turned out that the crown prince handed it to him in person.

His Royal Highness is getting more and more handsome, but at present, this smile can be said to be meaningful.

Only then did Xiao He notice a slight sweat on his forehead.

Xiao He accidentally took the veil without asking anything, and then began to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

Xiao He, I feel so timid in my heart.

In the past, Xiao He hoped that he could achieve great things.

But unexpectedly, he was directly brought to the Emperor of Qin by the prince.

And after Xiao He met the emperor with his own eyes and lived with the prince in Xianyang for two full years, he was truly afraid of the imperial power.

It was just a small position in Huayang Palace, but Xiao He got to know Ying Zheng himself through hearing and seeing.

Xiao He's cognition of this hero's image has completely gone from admiration at the beginning to suspicion in the middle stage to unquestionable admiration in the later stage.

pressure.

The cause of Xiao He's sudden gaffe was pressure.

This pressure was only conveyed through the mouth of the prince, and its source was Ying Zheng.

Fusu looked at Xiao He, he was just an ordinary scholar with some literary skills and integrity in his heart.

Not to mention comparing with Chun Yuyue, a great Confucian in the court, even compared with some ordinary scholars in the court, he did not appear to have any outstanding features.

Therefore, after Ying Zheng summoned Xiao He, he had no intention of reusing him.

Not only that, Ying Zheng also felt that it was a sign of lack of foresight for Fusu to treat Xiao He and Zhang Cang as treasures.

But it is an ironclad fact that they became heroes in the early Han Dynasty in history. This only proves that times make heroes.

This original hero of the early Han Dynasty was brought to the edge of imperial power in advance. This was undoubtedly a challenge for Xiao He.

Working in front of the future emperor is actually not too stressful. After all, everyone thinks that Fusu is still a child.

But around the First Emperor, it was completely different.

In front of Ying Zheng, everyone must surrender.

Fusu closed his eyes slightly, the sun finally came out, and the light hit Fusu's jade crown from between the wooden grids.

The white jade crown exudes a warm luster.

The blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the puddles on the muddy road.

On both sides of the road, the trees are tall and dense.

A rare crisp autumn day.

The forest is deep and gloomy, and the leaves rustle down and hang in the puddles on the path.

Fusu still paid close attention to Xiao He, and he was still dressed plainly at the moment.

This outfit actually looks a bit shabby in Xianyang City, let alone in the luxurious and gorgeous Huayang Palace.

I don’t know whether the environment will change Xiao He or Xiao He will change the environment in the future.
