There was a coldness in his voice, but also a slightly elusive flavor.
The air was filled with tension, but there was no emotional change on the face of Fusu, who was sitting opposite Ying Zheng.
He just looked at the chessboard in front of him.
"Father, isn't this normal?"
Fusu raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng in front of him. Ying Zheng actually had some white hair on his head.
White hair covered his head, reflecting Ying Zheng's age.
My father, who used to look majestic and solemn in the past, has gradually become less majestic in the past two years.
No, it's not that he is no longer so majestic, but in his heart, the majesty of his father has become a kind of closeness.
This feeling lingered in Fusu's heart, and he smiled brightly.
"Father, ambition is slowly growing in the hearts of the people of the world. The longer the Qin Dynasty dominates the world, the more ambition will grow."
"this is normal."
"Not only Da Qin, but Zhou was also like this back then?"
"When King Wu of Zhou was still ruling, the world was a little chaotic. Later, when Duke Zhou governed the world and even exiled several kings, the world became even more turbulent."
"Then later, until King Li fought for profit with the people, which later caused the rebellion of the countrymen, and then King You of Zhou played tricks on the princes with beacon fire, and the Quanrong tribe was destroyed."
There was a little bit of vicissitudes in Fusu's voice, sounding like an old man who had experienced the world.
"When will the world be at peace for a long time?"
"There are always desires in people's hearts, and as long as there are desires in people's hearts, the world will not be able to maintain long-term peace."
Ying Zheng sat there in front of the chessboard, holding a chess piece between his fingers.
He felt even more satisfied when he looked at Fusu sitting in front of him and talking eloquently.
In fact, Ying Zheng didn't mind the reaction of those people. After all, it was not a big deal.
It's just a little turmoil. As long as he takes action, the world will calm down in an instant.
Even now, those people are not aiming for the highest position.
It's just that he wants to implement the enfeoffment system.
As for the throne, those in the clan did not dare to touch it.
Not to mention taking action, not even thinking about it, this is the pressure he left behind.
"yes."
Ying Zheng sighed and said: "The greed in the hearts of the world cannot be cut off, but sometimes these greeds can do some good things."
"Like now."
Ying Zheng sneered: "When I was in charge, these old men didn't help much."
"Even when I was dealing with Lu Buwei and Lao Du, they still wanted to trip me up."
"They think that as long as I am not pro-government, they and Lu Buwei can equally share the power of Qin."
"And then, when I suppressed Lu Buwei, Lao Du, and even took control of the entire Great Qin, and began to go west to control the entire world, they began to hide."
There was a gloomy look in Ying Zheng's eyes.
"Back then, when Great Qin was in danger, these people were ready to escape or even surrender."
"Now that the Qin Dynasty has stood up and unified the world, they have come out to enjoy the blessings."
"I have long wanted to catch them all."
"If it weren't for your teacher going to Penglaizhou this time and carrying out some reforms, which would affect certain interests of the clan."
"Let the clan feel that they can no longer hide money."
"They don't know how long they will be hiding!"
Ying Zheng's hand slammed on the table, and the chess pieces on the table shook instantly.
He snorted coldly and stroked his sleeve: "These worms should have been dealt with long ago, but now I have my hands free."
Fusu looked helplessly at Ying Zheng across from him and said softly: "Since my father knows that they are worms,
He also has the intention to attack them. "
"Then what are you thinking about?"
"Why are you still angry?"
He turned his head and looked at the scene outside and said, "It's time to clean up this world."
"Those traitors in the Six Kingdoms have been eliminated, and the imprint of the Six Kingdoms in the world has disappeared."
"Now it's time to clean up the inside of Da Qin."
"When the inside of Da Qin is cleaned up, it will be time to take action against the "Baiyue" and "Xiongnu". "
Fusu's eyes flashed coldly: "It's not just Baiyue and the Xiongnu, there is a mainland to the south of Baiyue, and there is a mainland to the north of the Xiongnu!"
"We can't control the Shang continent across the sea, but we can control the continent next to us!"
"This world is called unified!"
A powerful aura gradually emerged from Fusu's body, and his expression was cold.
At this time, Fusu doesn't actually look like Fusu, but looks like Ying Zheng!
That Ying Zheng who swallows the whole world!
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu's figure with a vague smile and satisfaction in his eyes.
His son naturally has such ambitions to conquer the world!
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be like a tiger father and a dog son?
He laughed and said, "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
Yes, you should have this kind of courage! "
"This is my son!"
"But, let's leave this matter of swallowing up the surrounding continents to my father."
Ying Zheng looked high-spirited at this time, just like when he was young: "This is my father's business, not your business!"

clan mansion
A stick of incense was burning, and a little blue smoke floated in the sky.
Ziying half-knelt there, looking at the ancestral hall in front of him, with inexplicable confusion in his eyes.
He sighed softly.
Now that the world is unified, it is obviously a good thing for the Qin Dynasty. Why do my uncles, uncles, and even ancestors want to divide the world?
He had read a lot of books, but he couldn't understand the truth in them. The truth in them made him confused.
Confucius indeed respected the etiquette system of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but this etiquette system was not a feudal system, but a ritual and music system.
Because it was an era when etiquette and music collapsed.
But now that the country has been unified and the world is at peace, why are there still people using the name of Confucius to promote a feudal system?
Ziying looked at the dark spiritual tablets of his ancestors sitting on the table with confusion and sadness in his expression.
Is the Great Qin clan about to fall into civil strife?
It is obvious that they are the ones who should unite and support His Majesty. It is obvious that His Majesty is the only one they can rely on.
Ziying felt more than once that his great-uncle and the others had taken the wrong path.
But he didn't know where the right path was.
After kneeling for another moment, Ziying stood up silently. He looked at a corner in the distance with a firm look in his eyes.
"I'm going to ask, what's going on in this world!"
"Ask me where my future lies!"

Penglaizhou
Linzi County City Gate
Li Xin yawned, looked at Wang Ben and said, "Have you finished what the governor asked you to do?"
Wang Ben nodded, picked up the jug beside him and drank a glass of wine: "Oh."
"It's such a fucking uncomfortable life these days."
"I really want to complete the governor's mission quickly and then return to Xianyang City."
Li Xin was indeed half-lying there, the recliner swaying with his body constantly erratic.
And in his eyes, the sunlight in the distant sky
Falling gently on it, it looks very clear.
The warm sunshine made him feel more comfortable.
At this time, he felt that maybe what happened back then really didn't matter, maybe the hibernation back then was really unnecessary?
He chuckled: "Why do you want to go back to Xianyang City?"
Li Xin said with deep meaning: "You may think that the world is stable now, but the biggest turmoil is yet to come."
"This kind of turmoil is different from what you and I have experienced before. You and I are familiar with fighting with swords and swords, but we are not used to this kind of fight without the light of swords."
"It's a war of words."
Wang Ben seemed a little confused at this time: "What are you talking about?"
"Now that everything has settled down and the world is unified under Qin, where is the fight?"
Li Xin sneered: "Governor Chen is carrying out reforms, didn't you see that?"
"The official system in Penglaizhou has been changed to every possible extent. Will the official system in the imperial court remain like that?"
He glanced at the scholars coming in and out and said, "Nowadays, there are more and more scholars in the world."
"Can they get there just by passing the literary competition?"
"Besides the literary competition, there must be other ways, and this way is the biggest source of conflict."
Li Xin narrowed his eyes: "Besides, even if the matter is resolved, you will only fall into a whirlpool when you go back. Now the struggle between the clan, His Majesty, and the court ministers has entered a fever pitch."
"Everyone is waiting for the opportunity."
"Have you forgotten that you were dragged into enfeoffment by others, but Prime Minister Li later saved your life?"
Wang Ben fell into silence.
He shook his head: "But my father is still in Xianyang City, do I have to stay in Penglaizhou for the rest of my life?"
Li Xin glanced at him disdainfully: "What happened in Penglaizhou?"
"Do you think it's still the same now?"
"As long as you feel that you are capable, His Majesty will appoint you as a general?"
"Those days are gone forever."
"As long as you keep working hard and making meritorious deeds in your local area, maybe in the future there will be Huns, Baiyue, and even countries farther west for you to fight against."
"Step by step, you will have the opportunity to enter the highest decision-making level of the imperial court."
"The Governor brought you to Penglaizhou to give you a chance."
"Otherwise, do you really think that anyone can be the governor of Peng Laizhou?"
Li Xin felt a little resentful: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore."
"I heard some news recently. Those people are making some small moves, and these little moves will be discovered by His Majesty soon."
"After that...it's your Majesty's business."

Kuaiji County
Yang Tianyi put down the document in his hand, a hint of coolness flashed in his eyes.
"You mean, someone deliberately spread these rumors in the county. What did they do?"
Yang Tianyi looked at the person opposite him thoughtfully, with a cold expression.
Opposite him sits the county magistrate of Kuaiji County. Due to some of Chen Ke's reforms, the magistrate's rights have been greatly increased.
Almost on an equal footing with the county governor.
Fa Ruo's expression remained motionless, as if he didn't see anything at all, and said with a smile: "What Governor Yang said is interesting."
"How do I know what they're after?"
"I'm just a county magistrate."
He chuckled lightly, took a sip of the water in the tea cup, and said in a low voice, "Don't tell me, this porcelain from Penglaizhou is really a good thing."
"Governor Chen is truly a god. Not only was he able to come up with chairs and a new method of making salt, but he was also able to come up with porcelain that is as good as a tribute."
Either with emotion, or with
He said deliberately: "It's really beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Yang Tianyi just glanced at Fa Ruo and twitched his eyelashes slightly: "Whether you know it or not is not a very important thing."
"I just hope you won't go down the wrong path."
"The promises made by some people cannot be trusted."
Fa Ruo said: "What you said, of course I know that their words are not trustworthy."
He curled his lips and said, "You don't have to worry about me going the wrong way. I'm different from them, and I'm even more different from you."
"You only have Da Qin in your heart, only His Majesty, and only the Governor."
"I hold these tens of thousands of Guizhou capital in my heart, and the Guizhou capital in Kuaiji County is in my thoughts."
"I know better than you. Only Governor Chen and His Majesty can make them live a better life. If it were those clans who have never seen anything, they would have to raid the Kuaiji County first. ?」
Fagruo's voice was filled with ridicule: "How dare those stupid things even think of threatening His Majesty?"
"I think your Majesty is just waiting for a suitable opportunity."
Yang Tianyi just glanced at Fa Ruo and didn't care about the ridicule in Fa Ruo's voice.
"As long as you know."

Berkshire
Rumors have spread throughout the county, and everyone is talking strange things.
The merchants who set out from Bajun also took what the fox said with them.
And new news is gradually taking shape.
That's how rumors work sometimes.
You don't need to exert much effort at all, you just need to provide a source, and the subsequent rumors will gradually become more outrageous.
For example, you tell someone that you heard that xx from xx family brought back a girl.
He might turn around and tell the second person that the xx family has brought back several wives.
When the third person turns around and talks, it may turn out that the xx family married several wives outside, but only brought a few back.
When it comes to the fourth person, the rumor may become that this person is very romantic outside and has many love debts, but many wives have died, so this is the home to which he has fled.
Rumors are so outrageous, and after being processed, people often forget that the message came from their own mouth.
Then, a thing that clearly has a source becomes sourceless.
This is why the source of rumors is so difficult to find,
...........
In Xianyang City.
By a river, several women were pounding clothes.
"Did you hear that there is a fox talking over there in Berkshire?"
