After the funeral of Marquis Wucheng, the entire Xianyang once again entered into intense preparations for the enshrinement of Zen.
The emperor wanted to tour the hometowns of princes eastward, enshrine Zen in Mount Tai, and also go to coastal areas. The journey was thousands of miles long. The route planning and the selection of entourage were complicated events that required some time to prepare. .
"The eldest son is building a straight road between Shangjun and Mengtian. He cannot accompany him this time. The only son who accompanied the emperor on his eastward tour to enshrine the Zen is Hu Hai. It can be seen that among all the sons, the emperor loves Hu Hai the most."
In Li's mansion, Li Yu, who was well-informed, told the information he had obtained.
Li Si held the wine in his hand, took a sip, shook his head and said: "You have nothing to do all day long. You just play cards with the sons of the nobles in Xianyang for fun. Why do you want to find out about these things? I think I should find it for you. This position has officially entered the official career, so as not to cause trouble sooner or later."
Li Yu's eyes widened and he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Father, don't do this. I play cards every day, which is much more useful than working as an official in the court. At the card table, I specially talked to the children of the ministers, and I could hear There’s a lot of secret and useful information.”
"For example, Feng Jing said that his old father Feng Wuze sent a letter from Yue, requesting the emperor to return to Guanzhong, but he was rejected. The emperor said that major events in Yue still depended on him, and asked Feng Wuze to work for another two years."
"There is also Wang Wan's son Wang He. This guy and I have some problems with each other, but after my deliberate temptation, he also gave me a lot of useful information. It is said that the Confucian scholars made rites for this conferment, and the results were divided. They took out ten No one is willing to give in to the remaining plans, which is really ridiculous.”
Li Si listened to his son's words with interest.
He is a Tingwei and is mainly responsible for legal affairs. Naturally, he doesn't know the news like what Li Yu said. Now that he hears these things from his son, he feels quite interesting.
"It seems that you are suitable to be an intermediary, but it is a pity that the Six Kingdoms have been destroyed, and there is no longer any place for you to use."
Li Si started teasing, and after laughing, he said sternly: "These things are ultimately trivial and not advisable. When the emperor comes back from the Zen, you will get married, then open a house and build your own house, and enter the official career, which can be regarded as a serious career." . Don’t be like your brother, who is in his thirties and almost forty, and his achievements are not successful and his family is not established. What a look!"
Li Si spoke full of resentment.
If Li You could achieve something in his career, win a big victory like Zhao Tuo, or even like Li Xin, lose first and then win, and accomplish something great.
As a father, Li Si could endure Li You's late marriage or non-marriage.
After all, Li Si himself is also a man with strong ambition. As long as his career can be successful, he can relax a little in other aspects.
But it was a pity that Li You failed in battles many times, and he was known as "Shu Qi" on his head, which was ridiculed by others.
Eight years of time!
Zhao Tuo climbed to the title of Marquis Lun from a white body without a title.
Li You was the fifth doctor eight years ago, and he is still the fifth doctor eight years later.
How could Li Si, a proud and arrogant person, endure this? Especially Li You's resistance to marriage made Li Si very angry.
He is in his thirties, wants a career but not a career, wants a family but does not have a family, and spends all day gnawing at his old age in his old house.
If it weren't for his own son, he would have been kicked to death.
Li Si was very angry.
He has decided that when the emperor returns from Feng Chan, he will use his father's authority to force Li You to marry. At the same time, he is also looking for a suitable mansion for Li You and Li Yutan.
Kick both sons out and let them open their own houses, which will save him, an old father, from being upset all day long.
Seeing Li Si upset and angry, Li Yu chuckled.
"Father, don't talk about brother. I think that brother has read and memorized the legal provisions very well these days. Now that he is not engaged in military service, he may have a good future as a civil servant. Father, are you not begging for brother? Are you looking for a position? I don’t know where to work?”
"Shang Shu Pu She (yè)."
Li Si sighed: "The title of the fifth noble prince has just been decided. Before the unification, it would be fine to be a minister. But now after several wars, there are too many people with high titles, so I have troubled myself. We can only get a position as a minister. But that’s okay, let him get familiar with the management of documents and memorials first, and then he can be promoted slowly in the future.”
Li Yu blinked and said: "Shang Shu Pu She, I remember it only cost 600 shi. He is the assistant officer of Shangshu Ling. He is in charge of all clerical affairs. It is not a real power position. But because he is responsible for submitting documents, he can often see him. The emperor, even accompanying the emperor, is this the father’s idea?”
Li Si nodded and said: "You'er used to be a general in the palace and guarded the emperor for many years. Now let him be a minister and a servant, often walking around in front of the emperor. Maybe one day the emperor will think of his old relationship, alas..."
Li Si sighed heavily. Although he complained in his heart, he was still worried about his son.
The emperor is about to tour the east to entrust Zen. Li You, as the minister's servant, will naturally follow him and be able to perform the clerical affairs.
If Li You doesn't go to war now, I guess there won't be any more "odd numbers".
"This time on the eastward tour to Fengchan, if you perform well, you may be able to regain the emperor's favor."
…
Donghai County, Qin State, near Lanling.
In a mountain forest, several men were sitting and resting in the forest.
"Damn it, the people of Qin are so ruthless. They moved all the fields in Qi into Guanzhong, and appointed powerful officials as county and township officials. These people are supported by the people of Qin and are willing to be their hawks and dogs. If you hadn't seen through it in advance, I would have I'm afraid that Yan Cai's head has already been chopped off."
Gongsun Xin still couldn't let go of what happened two days ago, and he kept yelling angrily.
They returned from overseas and wanted to unite the anti-Qin righteous people from the six countries to plan a plan to assassinate the emperor.
Unexpectedly, after returning, they discovered that the Qin people had forcibly moved all the fields in Qi, as well as all the clan nobles of Han and Wei into Guanzhong, which made the anti-Qin forces in these three places very weak.
They could only temporarily stay in the home of a powerful man named Yan Cai.
After the lands in Qi were forcibly removed by the Qin people, the original small and medium nobles and powerful landowners in Qi were supported and became county and township officials to make up for the shortage of Qin officials.
The Qi tycoon Yan Cai they were living in was said to be a descendant of Yan Zi, the famous envoy from the Jiang Qi era. Zhang Liang and others also met Zhang Liang and others when they lobbied for the Qi King's construction in Qi. At that time, they belonged to the anti-Qin camp. There are only a few allies in Qidi.
Yan Cai welcomed the arrival of Zhang Liang and others and promised to cover their traces.
Not long after, Zhang Liang discovered that Yan Cai planned to capture and kill them at night in order to claim credit from the Qin people. They simply asked the Zhen warriors who followed them to behead him, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape, going all the way through the mountains and forests, taking wild roads, and then escaped here.
Gongsun Xin's scolding came to his ears.
Zhang Liang looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was gloomy. The sun was hidden behind layers of dark clouds, making it difficult to see its specific appearance.
He sneered: "The Qin people annexed the six kingdoms too quickly. They had few officials and could not control the entire princes' hometown in a short time. Therefore, they were afraid of chaos among the nobles of the six kingdoms, so they came up with the idea of moving to Guanzhong for control. Method. I have to say that Zhao Tuo, who proposed this suggestion, is really a talented person in governing the country."
"Zhao Tuo."
Hearing this name, Gongsun Xin shuddered.
He shook his head and drove the Great Qin eagle dog out of his head in the eyes of this righteous man from the Six Nations.
Then he asked in a low voice: "Zifang, Yan Cai said that the Emperor of Qin is coming to Mount Tai in Qidi to perform the Zen ceremony, and he has sent orders in advance to the counties along the way to prepare. This is a good opportunity for us to carry out the assassination. But now The ground is full of Qin people's eagles and dogs, and it's hard for us to walk. What should we do? Based on the situation in front of us, I'm afraid there's no chance to make a move."
Gongsun Xin was a little unwilling. They traveled across the ocean to find assassins who could take action for this assassination. Now they finally got funding from Canghaijun, the king of the Zhan people on the peninsula, and Jifou, the lord of Korea, which gave them the opportunity to carry out the assassination. possible.
Unexpectedly, the land of Qi was no longer suitable for them to walk. The local powerful people supported by the Qin people did not have a good impression of them. Once they found out, they would report it to the government.
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, then turned to look south.
"The land of Qi can no longer be retained, so go to the land of Chu. Among the six kingdoms, Chu rebelled against Qin most fiercely and had the greatest power. The Qin people used their military power to move the noble clans of Qi, Wei, and Han, but it was too late to attack the Chu people. . If we enter Chu land, we will be like fish entering the sea, there will be no problem."
Gongsun Xin nodded in agreement and said, "Then where should we go to Chu?"
Zhang Liang said in a deep voice: "Go to the Prime Minister and look for the Xiang family."
"The Chu State's commander Yin Xiang Yan and his son Xiang Qu both died at the hands of the Qin general Zhao Tuo. The Xiang family has a deep hatred for the Qin State and is our natural ally. Now, although they have surrendered to the Qin people for the sake of their clan, they still have deep feelings in their hearts. There must be hatred, if you go and seek refuge with the Xiang family, you will definitely protect us."
"We will look for opportunities to assassinate him at that time. I believe that after Emperor Qin becomes Zen, he will not be able to stay in Qidi forever. He will definitely go south."
Zhang Liang whispered, his eyes shining brightly.
Next to him were several Zerg and Korean warriors dressed in Zhuxia costumes, but still unable to hide their fierce looks.
One of the strong men in particular was tall and burly, as if he had great strength.
