Jagged Legion

Zhao Gao's conspiracy has just begun, and Shi Huangdi has already felt a little uneasy about He Xiaowang.Zhao Gao thought of the old Li Si, Li Si, this man had a strong sense of utilitarianism, although he was loyal to Qin Shihuang and tried to make contributions and achieve grand hegemony, but Qin Shihuang gradually no longer reused him as a prime minister, but had a great deal of favor with He Xiaowang. add.Li Si didn't want to see it. Although Li Si and He Xiaowang had a good relationship, and Li Si also valued He Xiaowang very much, Li Si's utilitarianism and desire for power made him farther and farther away from the virtues that an elder should have. , Li Si has been shaken and started to cooperate with Zhao Gao.Zhao Gao ordered people to bring presents, and went to Li's mansion to pay a visit to Prime Minister Li Si.Zhao Gao went in and smiled: "Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" Li Si: "Hey, Mr. Zhao, old man, I can't do it anymore. I don't have the energy anymore." Zhao Gao quickly pretended to be anxious: " Prime Minister, why did you say that? You are the minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, and I can’t live without you for a day." Li Si laughed loudly: "Eunuch Zhao is serious. Ahaha,,, serious, let’s drink tea. "Zhao Gao looked at his words and made Li Si happy, and smiled in his heart: "Prime Minister, some things are not very good recently." Li Si turned his head and asked, "En? What's going on? Isn't it?" What's going on in the palace?" Zhao Gao sighed: "Since He Xiaowang came back from the northwest, the emperor has been favoring him continuously, adding officials to ranks, and bestowing upon Princess Qin Ning. You are becoming more and more domineering and domineering, and no one pays attention to it. Who knows, the emperor said that Prime Minister Li is old, so you don't need to pay more attention to it, and He Xiaowang is young and strong, so you need to rely more on it. Prime Minister, even the slaves are complaining for you Think about it, you have broken your heart for the Great Qin Kingdom. Today, when you are older, the emperor will reuse that bratty yellow-haired boy. What do you call this?! I heard that He Xiaowang often You can brag about how much credit you have made in front of others, but you don't pay attention to the prime minister at all." Li Si is undoubtedly an outstanding politician.First of all, the expansion of the territory of the Qin Dynasty led to the fact that the original state institutions and their operating methods and management methods were far from adapting to reality. As the direct implementer of administrative management, Li Si had the most direct and deepest feeling and understanding. He must A new administrative framework has to be considered.In this way, the central-county-county three-level administrative division framework was established, and it has been in operation in China for more than 50 years. Although successive dynasties have made more or less changes, most of them have not broken away from this pattern.Because of this courage, he naturally has such an extraordinary understanding of He Xiaowang.

Li Si's expression changed and he felt uncomfortable: I, Li Si, have followed the emperor for decades, and I have also made great contributions. How could Li Si annihilate the Six Kingdoms without me?Now that I'm older, he starts to crowd out me. Although He Xiaowang has a good relationship with me, he can't be so rude.Li Si thought for a while and sighed: "How can I, Li Si, be as knowledgeable as a child? He Xiaowang is still young, so he should understand." You have to guard yourselves. You are sharing the country’s worries, not because He Xiaowang can’t make it through. You should think twice.” Li Si: “Mr. What is beyond courtesy?" Zhao Gao pretended to shake his head: "Know people, know faces, but don't know your heart! Well, this is the end of the prime minister's words. You have a spectrum in your heart, and it's better to be careful. The servant has to serve the emperor. I'll take my leave first." Li Si: "Then, Eunuch Li, go slowly, I won't see you off soon." Zhao Gao walked out the door and said in his heart, "I'm not afraid that you won't go to He Xiaowang's book."

Seeing Zhao Gaoyuan go, Li Si felt more and more unhappy. It seemed that if he didn't do anything, his position as prime minister would be in jeopardy.On that day, the First Emperor summoned his ministers to discuss the military affairs of Lingnan.The First Emperor: "Ministers, He Xiaowang sent people to fly horses to report and made some military achievements. The Lingnan area is temporarily quiet, but if the food and grass cannot be completely resolved, it will be difficult to continue fighting in the Lingnan area. What do you think?" Li Si first said: " Your Majesty, I think that He Xiaowang's military affairs in Lingnan are not very clear. I received news that He Xiaowang has put a group of generals under house arrest. I wonder if there is such a thing. If so, I don't know what He Xiaowang's intention is The First Emperor was slightly taken aback, this Li Si has always admired He Xiaowang, why did he attack He Xiaowang so suddenly today.The First Emperor said: "Oh? The prime minister said it in detail." Li Si: "He Xiaowang has a heavy army in his hand, but he doesn't contact the court frequently. He Xiaowang has been in Lingnan for more than a month, and his military achievements are very little. I think He Xiaowang is not good. Do you want to do something?" Shi Huang asked, "How does the prime minister think about this matter?" Liston paused and said, "Recall He Xiaowang, if He Xiaowang has the heart of disobedience and leads the army to resist the edict and refuses to return, So I ordered Meng Tian to turn his guns and attack Nanyue from both sides, and He Xiaowang will be defeated because he has no food and grass." The court was in an uproar, and He Xiaowang was recalled, which was an extreme blow to He Xiaowang.Some cunning officials have long seen that this is Li Si launching an offensive against He Xiaowang, and Li Si has already abandoned He Xiaowang.After listening to Li Si's words, the first emperor fell into deep thought: "This He Xiaowang has 50 soldiers, almost accounting for more than half of the army of the Great Qin Dynasty. In addition, this He Xiaowang has always been relatively independent and has a stubborn temper. Maybe something will happen to him." Ah." The first emperor said: "Prime Minister, I will do as you say. Our Daqin Dynasty cannot ignore the court. We can issue an edict and order He Xiaowang to return to the court. If he dares not to follow, order Meng Tian to prepare to command Go south!" The emperor's mind is the emperor's mind, and it is unpredictable.Zhao Gao was overjoyed when he was beside him, this blow will definitely decapitate you, He Xiaowang!

Since Fusu was assassinated by Zhao Gao, he has been on guard everywhere, thinking about Zhao Gao's other means, but he did not expect to receive an imperial edict to send his troops south at any time. Zhao Gao's spearheads once again gathered on He Xiaowang, this time He Xiaowang It's more ominous than good.Fusu immediately ordered Meng Tian and Meng Yi to come to the army tent to discuss the matter.Meng Tian said anxiously: "This time, He Xiaowang is really more than good. Prince, you know He Xiaowang's temper. It is not difficult for He Xiaowang to lead the army to the south, to expand the territory, but to encounter difficulties. No matter how great the danger is, he will complete the task of pacifying Lingnan, but if he asks He Xiaowang to stop the army, I am afraid that he will not be able to follow his orders." Fusu sighed: "This is exactly what I am worried about, I never thought of it If Master Li Si will hit He Xiaowang so hard, has he forgotten his friendship with He Xiaowang? It’s really hard to predict." Meng Yi: "Prince, brother, if the emperor orders us to go south, that's No big deal, let’s not talk about He Xiaowang’s character and loyalty. Will he rebel? It’s clear that someone framed him. Besides, if our 30 troops go south, won’t the land in the north be given to the Huns for nothing? No, go south and kill them. My brother, I can't do this." Fusu: "From the point of view of the two generals, what should we do about this matter?" Meng Tian: "Resisting the order and not obeying it is definitely not acceptable, and it is absolutely impossible to send troops south." Meng Tian: Yi: "Brother, what do you think we should do? If we don't take either of these, what shall we do? Brother He is in critical condition now!" Meng Tian: "Don't worry, He Xiaowang must have received the imperial edict by now, and he will handle it properly. , but if He Xiaowang really disobeyed the decree and disrespected us, we couldn't send our troops south immediately. In this way, the prince might as well write to the emperor saying that we are now rectifying military affairs, and the Xiongnu in the northwest are about to move. If we go south, the Xiongnu will definitely cross the Great Wall and fight again. Go back to the Hexi Corridor area. Then the emperor will have concerns. We delay for some time, and He Xiaowang should be able to solve it soon. Just give him enough time." Fusu: "This is the only way to do it now. I didn't expect the treacherous officials in the court to be in power. The emperor doesn't distinguish between loyal and evil, framed Zhongliang, really,,,,,, " Meng Yi and Meng Tian hurriedly lowered their heads.This is a matter between their father and son, so it's not easy for them to talk too much.

Fusu wrote to the first emperor: "My son, Fusu, asks for an order to greet you, and then pays homage. Recently, I received an imperial edict from my father, ordering the army to march south. My son, who received Su Xing's sleepless nights, did not dare to neglect. Immediately rectify military affairs and order at any time. However, the Xiongnu is ready to move, and the war is renewed. I am afraid that the Huns will not know what is good and bad, and cross the Great Wall again, killing innocent people. The crime is serious, and they will return to the Hexi Corridor. Therefore, the son-in-law wrote to the father, please think twice before acting, let the son guard the border Frontiers, consolidate and build the Great Wall, and then go south. Minister, kneel and worship.” The first emperor read Fusu’s letter, and he was also very anxious. He Xiaowang in the south was worried, and if the Xiongnu took the opportunity to call from the back, it would be a serious disaster!The Huns can directly lead their troops to threaten Xianyang, and they will never recover.Emperor Shihuang thought about it and approved one word: quasi.The military affairs in the Northwest are stable as before.

The imperial court was so suspicious of He Xiaowang, Zhao Gaoli had already vented his anger, slandering He Xiaowang by all means.What is He Xiaowang doing?He Xiaowang temporarily stabilized the morale of the army, and began to inspect the river channels of the Li River and the Xiang River. In history, Qin Shihuang opened up the channels of the Li River and the Xiang River and dug more than 30 kilometers of Lingqu, which ensured the continuous transportation of grain and grass and ensured the supply of food to South Vietnam. Victory in all battles.He Xiaowang is observing these and wants to dig the Lingqu in the near future.Suddenly someone came to report the emperor's secret decree, asking He Xiaowang to accept the decree immediately.He Xiaowang unfolded the emperor's imperial decree, his heart was shocked.The emperor asked him to return to court as a teacher.He Xiaowang had expected a long time ago that the court would not be peaceful and that Zhao Gao would intensify his attacks, but He Xiaowang could still imagine that the emperor would not listen to Zhao Gao's slander, and he did not expect that he respected his older brother Li Si unexpectedly also lashed out at him.It seemed that he was really in danger.One is not good, but the family will be ruined, and his family is still in Xianyang.He Xiaowang was in a dilemma. If he didn't go back at this time, he would be disrespectful. Meng Tian would send his troops to the south. It would be a great human tragedy if the brothers fought each other. Besides, if civil strife broke out, the Xiongnu would definitely take the opportunity to enter. It will also rebel again, and the consequences will be disastrous.

He Xiaowang immediately summoned Li Xian, Zhao Guang, and Li Longxiang to discuss.As soon as Li Xian heard about it, he immediately said: "Sir, since this secret decree is a secret decree, it must be suppressed and not spread to the outside world. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be in chaos. We are far away from our teachers and cannot bear the burden." He Xiaowang nodded and said. The most important thing is: "Once the imperial decree is made public, some people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to incite turmoil." Li Longxiang: "Then what should we do? Is it impossible to resist the decree and disrespect it?" Zhao Guang had already shouted: "Damn it! This Qin Shihuang He is a fool! Our husband was born to risk his life, went south and north, for whose country? Isn’t it for the country of Yingzheng? Now that the army can be stabilized and the southern border can be regained, he actually listens to some young people! Slander Mr., no Distinguishing loyalty and traitors, what does such an emperor want him to do? Sir, as long as you give an order! Can't our 50 army fight back? Who doesn't know your reputation? Kill Xu Bing's moths, and the army will naturally follow your orders You say something!" Li Longxiang was ashamed: "Zhao Guang! What are you talking about?" Zhao Guang: "Brother, you dare not say it. Let me tell you, who understands the painstaking efforts of Mr.? Now you want to let Meng Tian and the others Sending troops to the south, what does this mean? It is clearly a persecution of our husband! Don’t bully me, Zhao Guang, who is illiterate! A fool can see it!" He Xiaowang gave Zhao Guang a look: "Shut up! Zhao Guang, sir I know your thoughts are entirely for my own good. But do you want to understand? Do you know that Mr. is a man who raises troops against Qin? They will send their troops south, and they will definitely find some excuses to buy me time. Besides, I have the lives of 50 troops, how can I be kidding?" Li Xian: "What the master said is, but what should we do now?" Crane Xiaowang: "Continue to collect the various ministries of South Vietnam, find the main force, and fight against them. I will write a letter to the emperor to explain this matter. In addition, the soldiers must be prepared. This time, the letter will also ask for the construction of the Lijiang River and the Xiangjiang River Basin. In this way, our Grain and grass can be transported in a steady stream, and the supplies are sufficient.”
