The cold wind blew outside.
Fusu's hands and feet were also cold at this time.
His chest was heaving up and down, and his mind could not calm down for a long time.
a long time.
Fusu let out a long breath, stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and bowed respectfully: "Fusu is being harsh and too impatient. Please forgive me, sir."
"The world is in dire straits."
"Over the years, the Qin Dynasty has aimed to stabilize the world, build civilization, and resist restoration, but it has made very little progress. I suddenly heard that there were so many evils in the world, and I was a little panicked for a moment. I talked indiscriminately, hoping to do more things to alleviate the world. It’s so dark, now that I think about it, it’s really bizarre.”
"Your Majesty has already made it clear."
"Between the three emperors and five emperors, and even the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, there has never been such a turbulent and great struggle. The rituals collapsed, the music collapsed, the cauldrons thundered, the high banks turned into valleys, and the deep valleys turned into mausoleums. In these more than five hundred years of turbulent killings, the world Blood flowed and people were displaced, but at the same time, all the evils in the world were exposed to the broad daylight."
"If you don't change the past and make new things, if you don't think about reforming the law and trying to rule it, this will be the crime of the monarchs and ministers of Qin Dynasty."
"The accumulated shortcomings are so serious that we can only deal with them slowly."
"I should have figured it out a long time ago, and should have guarded against arrogance and impetuosity and thought more carefully."
“The benefits and disadvantages of the new road have never been seen before.”
"If you lose your perseverance, you are bound to have difficulty making progress in the face of such evil and evil evils. After all, merit and crime are all found step by step. Even if there are dangers, you just need to keep making progress in accordance with the changes in current events." Correct and adjust, learn from history, learn from failures, learn from the experience of failure, and then make better judgments and surpass history step by step."
"."
Fusu stood up, walked to the center of the hall and stood still, his voice softened, but his expression was solemn.
Ji Heng was speechless.
Just one person drinking wine quietly.
After some self-questioning and answering, Fusu had relieved his depression. He bowed to Ji Heng and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fusu, for your advice."
"Fusu is taught."
"Although I have seen a lot of evil during this trip, there is no need to talk lightly today, and I don't want to bother you anymore."
"Fusu said goodbye."
Fusu slightly arched his hands, turned around and walked outside.
"Remember to send the money." Ji Heng's voice came slowly.
Fusu chuckled and said, "That's how it should be."
When he walked into the courtyard, Fusu noticed that there was a chess cloth hanging on the mulberry tree in Ji Heng's courtyard.
He took a deep look and said softly: "Life is like a chess game. You have no regrets when you make a move. Every move must be made carefully. A missed move will affect the overall situation. Therefore, you should always keep the overall situation in mind and do not accept the consequences." The influence of personal emotions is the only way to have the last laugh in this undercurrent of the chess game."
Fusu withdrew his gaze and walked away.
The cold wind blows.
The blowing chess cloth rumbled.
However, under the infiltration of snow water, the chessboard gradually lost its sound.
Only strands of drooping ice picks were visible, crystal clear and as sharp as swords, extending from under the chess cloth.
Xianyang Palace.
Gongzi Gao, Gongzi Jianglu and others have submitted their respective "experiences during the trip".
Looking at the several memorials on the case, Ying Zheng nodded happily. Although some of the young masters' views are still crude and immature, they have undoubtedly made great progress compared to the deep locks in the palace.
Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips and said: "It is indeed a good idea to resume the road to the country. These young masters of mine have been in the palace for a long time, are not familiar with the world, and know little about the outside world. By understanding the political views of the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty, Governance will be of great help to their growth.”
This is the thought.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
According to Qin law, the children of the clan are supposed to enter the army and make meritorious deeds when they reach adulthood. Without meritorious titles, they can still only live in commoner clothes. However, he was somewhat resistant to this order. Now that he saw the princes expressing their political opinions, he felt a momentary feeling in his heart. There are also fluctuations.
When the 'Children of Meritorious Officials' were first introduced, some officials wrote a letter to allow the children of the royal family, but he refused.
Ying Zheng thought about it for a moment, but finally stopped thinking about it.
He stood up and prepared to walk outside the temple to relieve his somewhat stiff body.
Heavy snow was flying all over the sky, and there was a crunching sound underfoot.
After Ying Zheng walked outside for a while, he discovered that there was a convoy in front of him heading outside. The ceremonial cavalry of this convoy was not grand. Compared with the Li Si cavalry he saw at Liangshan Palace half a month ago, the scale was much larger. It was obviously much smaller, so he asked, "Whose rider is in front of you?"
Zhao Gao looked at it intently and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it belongs to Prime Minister Li Si."
"Lee Si."
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly turned cold and he said coldly: "Did you read that correctly?"
Zhao Gao looked at it carefully for a few more times and said with certainty: "I am the official of the Central Vehicle Administration of the imperial court. I deal with chariots and horses on a daily basis. I also have some understanding of Prime Minister Li Si's chariots. Although these chariots are relatively small in scale, There are many, but I am very sure that this is Prime Minister Li Si’s chariot.”
"How dare I deceive Your Majesty? How dare I slander Prime Minister Li Si?!"
"Now it's the pounding time (You), which is when all the officials return home. It is indeed common sense for Prime Minister Li Si to go home by car."
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."
Zhao Gao withdrew his gaze and made sure he saw it correctly.
Chariots and horses are his vocation, and he has always paid great attention to them. He basically understands the chariots and horses of the ministers of the court, so how could he get it wrong?
After saying that, Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows, as if he thought of something, and his expression darkened.
Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. After a long time, he finally said: "Now go and inform the doctor, Feng Jie, and ask him to thoroughly investigate all the attendants and maids when I went to Liangshan Palace that day."
"Those who do good things and have their say will be punished by death!"
Hear the words.
Zhao Gao's expression changed slightly.
He knew what this meant.
He said quickly: "I obey the order."
Ying Zheng snorted and left immediately.
Zhao Gao stood respectfully, looking down at the ground, and respectfully sent the First Emperor off.
When the First Emperor was completely gone, Zhao Gao raised his head and said solemnly: "Is Your Majesty dissatisfied with Li Si?"
He looked around and left quickly.
He was a little confused.
Half a month ago, the First Emperor went to Liangshan Palace. He saw Li Sisheng riding on the mountainside and expressed some dissatisfaction. Apparently, the words of the First Emperor were spread by the guard of honor at that time. Now Li Si has restrained himself. The ceremonial chariots and horses made Zhao Gao panic.
He could sense that the First Emperor seemed to have changed a bit.
Just not sure yet.
It is true that people did not like the gossip of the attendants, and even hated it, but in the past, the First Emperor was not ignorant, and sometimes even turned a blind eye. But this time, the First Emperor suddenly stepped on the officials when they returned home. , and directly opened his mouth to punish him with death, this is obviously not a random idea.
I'm afraid I have other ideas.
soon.
He then passed the First Emperor's oral instructions to Feng Jie.
Zhao Gao returned to Xianyang Palace and stood outside the palace. He felt a little uneasy. He was speculating on the intentions of the First Emperor. But these attendants had crossed the line? Or was the First Emperor dissatisfied with the current situation of the court and wanted to clean up the court by beating Li Si?
There is a big difference between the two.
It didn't take long.
The voice of the First Emperor came from the palace, making Zhao Gao feel cold in his heart.
"Don't accept the case."
"Anyone who is nearby during the arrest will be killed."
"In the process of others' career advancement, all those who recommend, sponsor, and approve will be investigated and dealt with."
"The accompanying maid will be executed immediately!"
After hearing this ruthless order, Zhao Gao knew deeply that this time it was the First Emperor who did it intentionally.
With the court's ability to resolve cases, it is impossible not to find out. The only possibility is that the First Emperor deliberately used this to rectify the situation.
Or perhaps the First Emperor was suspicious of Li Si.
No matter which one, Zhao Gao felt scared.
There have always been talkative people around the First Emperor. This fact has always existed, and the First Emperor has always been aware of it. Sometimes he even deliberately used their mouths to spread some news. This was even intentionally condoned and acquiesced by the First Emperor, because the First Emperor had long ago Being in sole control of the court, there are some things that are not convenient for him to say, so he has always allowed these people to exist.
Taking such severe action now may mean that he really has murderous intentions.
Maybe he just wants to change the status quo.
The knife is sharpened.
This was the attitude of the First Emperor towards the outside world.
soon.
The matter was reported to the court.
The whole court was solemn.
Everyone is aware of the problem.
Fusu also heard about it.
He was a little surprised when he first heard about it, but after thinking for a while, he did not choose to plead for mercy. Although he did not know what happened specifically, the First Emperor was a man with a broad mind. Even if he was dissatisfied with his ministers over some trivial matter, he would still It will never affect important matters, and the bad words and bad habits of the attendants must be strictly prohibited.
Otherwise, once it spreads, it will only plunge the monarch, ministers and court into endless power suspicion.
Is it okay not to impose the harshest sanctions?
no.
The only thing that surprised Fusu was that the First Emperor attacked Li Si.
The relationship between the king and his ministers cannot be like this.
I'm afraid the real reason is that the First Emperor was dissatisfied with Li Si.
Li Si has gradually lost his sense of planning over the years, and has always maintained a high degree of consistency with the political views of the First Emperor.
This is not a good thing.
Fusu thought about it carefully in the study room, and subconsciously thought of Ji Heng, and whispered: "My father's beating on Prime Minister Li may have something to do with Ji Heng. In the past, Da Qin could only firmly implement the system, but now because of Ji Heng's appearance , the court may have some room for maneuver, but Li Si still does not want to improve, so he is dissatisfied with his father."
"Besides."
"Li Si is the Prime Minister of Qin."
"Father, beating Li Si can also intimidate hundreds of officials."
"Now all the officials may be very frightened and uneasy. They don't know what the father wants."
"That's fine."
"The court has been like a pool of stagnant water for too long."
"It's time to move."
"It's just that my father's move involves many things."
Fusu sighed softly. Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he suppressed his emotions.
He believed that the First Emperor must have had his own intentions in doing so.
How dare he cause trouble?
Think of this.
He suddenly thought of King Qi Wei's actions back then.
At that time, King Wei of Qi also cooked and killed more than ten of his servants, which in turn deterred Qi State from detecting Shangyi. Is King Wei of Qi willing to do this?
The times are forcing us to do so!
Da Qin now has a way to break the situation, and will no longer maintain the status quo. The past court habits will only be gradually broken.
The Liangshan Palace incident was just the beginning.
