Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 680: What a clever guy (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
Meng Tian heard this, but didn't think so.

"When I came here to see what these princes did, I felt very unhappy. Today I saw the prince of Qin State and the powerful Jingdi people fighting together. I really feel it is disgusting. You Bing, you go and take my place. I’ll call Hu Hai.”

Xu Youbing knew that Meng Tian wanted to operate on Hu Hai, but he dissuaded him:
"Dazhu Kingdom, if you want to punish the prince, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, you are the Dazhu Kingdom, the late emperor's important minister, but the prince of Surabaya, the eighteenth son Hu Hai, I think he seems to have a bold personality, but in fact he is He is narrow-minded. Moreover, when Your Majesty was the Crown Prince, He took the most care of the [-]th Prince and was very tolerant towards him. Now that you have punished him today, if he goes to His Majesty to file a complaint against you, wouldn’t it mean that you and Your Majesty are alienated from each other? .”

Meng Tian said:

"If Your Majesty would rather trust the Prince of Surabaya than to believe that I am fair in dealing with matters, then why should I be the censor? Go and invite the Prince of Surabaya here, I am just asking him some questions."

Xu Youbing had no choice but to agree.

"I'm going to invite the county king to come here, but Dazhu Kingdom please think twice before you act. Although the county country is not as good as the vassal states, the county king is different from the county guard."

After saying this, Xu Youbing resigned.

Xu Youbing left, Meng Tian was sitting alone in the room, holding the cup of wine, his mind was full of thoughts.

Based on his understanding of His Majesty, the parallel operation of the prefectures and states was originally forced by the situation. The prefectures and states were nothing more than filling up the old nobles with new princes. When the late emperor unified the world, the two prime ministers and his father thought so.

Now, despite all the objections, His Majesty still implements the parallel system of prefectures and states, but this priority cannot be messed up.When the late emperor was still alive, he also had the title of county prince, but at that time, all the county princes were respectful to His Majesty, and how could they dare to call themselves a widower.

Now that the second generation has succeeded to the throne, although he has shown kindness to all the world, because he advocates enlightenment and opposes execution, he has reduced the deterrent to the ministers, and each of them secretly seeks to become stronger.

Recalling the late emperor's request before his death, Meng Tian suddenly realized something again today.The empire needs a monarch like II to spread benevolence and righteousness throughout the world, but it also needs someone to shoulder other tasks for His Majesty, such as the infamy that intimidates the prince.

The late emperor entrusted that as long as he, Meng Tian, ​​lives in this world, the empire will remain in the same condition as before.

In the whole world, there is nothing but the king's land, and on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers.Under the emperor system, the emperor is unique and his power is supreme. Even the parallel system of prefectures and states cannot violate this system.

Hu Hai was sitting in his inner room. He urgently needed to read a book, otherwise he would not know what to say when he accompanied Meng Tian again tomorrow.

At this time, someone from outside suddenly communicated:

"The prince, the censor, Xu Youbing, please invite the prince to go see the censor."

Although Hu Hai was young, he was still eighteen years old. What he learned most in the palace was etiquette.

After hearing this, Hu Hai was not in the mood to read. He put the book down and then asked:

"The censor came to my house, named supervisor, but in terms of love ceremony, he just came to be a guest. Now I am the host. If he doesn't come to worship me, why does he want me to see him?"

"Prince, I also think this is true. It can be seen that this censor is too trusting and thinks that his status is higher than yours."

"Then you tell me whether I should go or not."

"Naturally, the king of the county is still going, otherwise the censor Meng Tian will definitely speak ill of you in front of His Majesty when he arrives in Xianyang City. Then you will be in danger, the king of the county. Why not hurry to see the censor Meng Tian now? , when his anger subsides, you can send him some beauties and goods, and this matter will be over."

Hu Hai turned pale after hearing this.

"Meng Tian was the most valued minister in the later period of the late emperor. When he died, he only entrusted him with a general. When I left Xianyang, there were rumors everywhere that General Meng Tian would be the next prime minister. Although he is now the censor, But the prime minister is dead, and he is the head of the three princes. Looking at the Qin Dynasty, you can't find anyone more loyal than the Meng brothers. It's better to give up this idea as soon as possible. As for beauty and wealth, people like him can't see it. Up."

"Since the king of the county is so afraid of him, why don't you go see him quickly and be soft, the man will be able to bend and stretch. If he doesn't provoke him today, he will persuade the emperor to punish the king after he goes back. Then the king will be in danger. Let alone a prince."

Hu Hai suddenly looked gloomy after hearing this.

"When I go there today, I will inevitably be ridiculed and scolded by him. They will definitely say that I don't understand political affairs. Finally, they said that I am young, so I just let it go. If I do it again in the future, I will be severely punished. It's a pity that I finally left Xianyang City. , I thought I could become a prince in a tiny place in Sishui County and live happily here, but I didn’t expect that the emperor would send Meng Tian to travel thousands of miles to ridicule me. What I, the king of the county, did was as if it was done for others. A widow in wedding clothes.”

This little official was originally from Jiangdong and didn't know what was going on in Xianyang City, but when he heard what Hu Hai said, he, who had always treated Hu Hai as a child, didn't believe it.

"How can the prince be so sure? You don't need to be afraid of them. You are also the son of the First Emperor, and you are also the prince of the county conferred by the second emperor's express decree. You have the final say in Sishui County, so you don't have to worry too much about him."

"You villain, even now, you are still trying to persuade me to go against Yushi Mengtian. Be careful, I tell Yushi Mengtian that you have been speaking ill of the Second Emperor and him in my ears. When the time comes, he will come with his sword. Cut you."

After hearing this, the official felt that Hu Hai was a child he couldn't mess with. He looked playful and understood some things, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

"Your Majesty, spare your life. Please don't mention this matter to the censor."

"Then you must accompany me to see Meng Tian, ​​otherwise don't let me tell you these things under the circumstances."

This should be regarded as an official who has the feeling of being a mother at this level, and he is also dumbfounded, so he can only bite the bullet and follow.

"I will accompany the prince right now."

Hu Hai struggled for half an hour and finally arrived at Meng Tian's room with a worried look on his face.

When he first saw Meng Tian, ​​Hu Hai planned to play dumb and did not bow. He sat down and asked:

"Dazhuguo came to me because he couldn't sleep at night and wanted to get drunk."

After everyone heard this, everyone burst into laughter.

Naturally, Meng Tian couldn't laugh. His hair on the temples was like snow, and he was sitting in the hall. The candlelight illuminated his face, solemn and solemn.

"I won't be unable to sleep. It's just that today, I asked the county king to come here because I heard that the county king did something bad."

Hu Hai is naturally guilty, since he was a child, no one has ever praised him for doing a good job except his father.The eldest brother became the prince, so he was naturally a figure of the stars, and the other younger brothers could only be his foils.
