In December of the 341st year of the Han calendar, Liu Yi escaped from Yanshan and set out on his way back to Lingyuan City with his entire army.
At the same time, in Tianlang City, five thousand miles away from Liu Yi, Fu Wen, with the help of Jia Xuanshuo, gradually established a firm foothold in the Great Qin Temple. The Great Qin Temple gave Fu Wen, this new force, an easy-to-understand influence. Name, the Four Princes Party.
Jia Xuanshuo not only fulfilled his duties as a minister, but also fulfilled his responsibilities as a teacher. Since he and Fu Wen became masters and apprentices, Jia Xuanshuo often taught Fu Wen that as a king, you should care about the people, pay attention to business affairs, be knowledgeable, and not be closed-door. In the end, it is difficult to lead the way by misleading others and yourself.
Fu Wen deeply agreed with the saying that "it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books", so he was not anxious to participate in the fight for the throne. With Jia Xuanshuo's approval, he began to travel around the Qin Dynasty, surveying the customs and customs, and increasing his knowledge.
In addition to these, he had another plan. At this time, the Four Emperors Party seemed to have deep roots, but in fact it was divided into two factions. One was the old people of the third brother, who had not sincerely joined the party, and the other was recruited by Jia Xuanshuo. People and horses, these people are more obedient to Jia Xuanshuo's orders. Let's not talk about the thoughts of the two groups. One thing they have in common is that they have not completely obeyed their orders for the time being.
...
Speaking of this, I have to mention the composition of the bureaucratic center of the Great Qin Empire. In the capital of the Han Dynasty, there were the "Five Dukes and Twelve Ministers" as the backbone of the empire, and the local governors and border army generals were in charge of military and political power. The Qin Dynasty relatively established a bureaucratic system with the "Nine Gates, Nine Divisions and Eight Pillars" as the core. Among them, the "Nine Gates, Nine Divisions" are equivalent to the "Five Gongs and Twelve Ministers" of the Han Empire, and the Eight Pillars are equivalent to the Han Dynasty. The Empire's Nine Prefectures, however, the Eight Pillars of the Qin Dynasty held military and political power, while the nine Prefectures of the Han Dynasty only had administrative power, and military power was in the hands of seventy-two generals.
Among the "Nine Gates and Nine Divisions" of the Qin Dynasty, the nine gates are: the Great Music Order in charge of rituals and music, the Great Sikou in charge of supervising all officials, the Great Order in charge of forests, fields, mountains and rivers, the Great Book Order in charge of memorials, the Great Service Order in charge of diplomacy, The Dacheng Ling, which controls finance, the Dacheng Ling, which is in charge of education, the Da Zong Ling, which is in charge of the royal family, and the Da Shi Ling, which is in charge of astronomy and history. Above these nine gates, there is a great virtuous person, whose position is equivalent to that of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. He is responsible for all administrative affairs. Fu Liang, the father of Emperor Fu Yi of the Qin Dynasty, served as a great virtuous person for more than forty years.
The nine divisions are: the Royal Horse Division, which is in charge of war horses, the Military Supervision Division, which is in charge of inspecting generals, the Reinforcement Division, which is in charge of handling soldiers, the Craftsmanship Division, which is in charge of weapons and equipment, the Arms Division, which is in charge of recruiting soldiers and horses, and the Military Supply Division, which is in charge of military supplies. The Grain Regulation Department, the Privy Council Department in charge of counselors and military aircraft, the Coordination Department in charge of military pay, and the Nine Divisions in charge of the Nine Heavenly Wolf Guards directly under His Majesty. These nine divisions are mainly responsible for the military affairs of the empire. Above the nine divisions, there is a person from Daliang, who is the same as the Great Han Dynasty. The Grand Governor is equivalent to the Grand Governor, who is responsible for the daily deployment and dispatch of the empire's troops.
The Great Shuling was the one among the nine sects who assisted Emperor Fu Yi in handling memorials. Although the Great Shuling had the same rank as the other eight orders, he stayed with the Emperor all day long and was the most favored and relied upon person by the Emperor.
Jia Xuanshuo has been in this position for more than ten years, which can be said to be a sacred heart. His strength and emotional intelligence are evident.
Emperor Fu Yi actually appointed his favorite to be Fu Wen's teacher. The reason is intriguing.
...
Closer to home, Fu Wen has a point of view that is very similar to Liu Yi's. Both of them believe that a person cannot hang from a tree.
In order to avoid being constrained by Jia Xuanshuo or the old ministers of his third brother, Fu Wen needed to recruit his own people, and when his wings were full, he could convince both factions and adopt them for his own use.
The world's great roads lead to the same destination through different paths. When it comes to the art of checks and balances, Fu Wen coincides with Liu Yi, a young man thousands of miles away.
Therefore, four months ago, Fu Wen chose to pack his bags and go to Qianshan Mountain alone.
Of course, maybe he is not alone. In the dark, there is the superior martial artist arranged for him by his father who can save his life.
Seasons do not distinguish between countries. The cold winter in the Qin Dynasty is full of yin and yang, and there is frost and snow in the sky. Even the shacks where animals live need to be heated by fires. At this time, if not necessary, people will stay in Maodong in one city or one county, drinking, talking about old times, and waiting for the heavenly master Kou Qian to cast his magic to restore the sun on February 2nd, and then come out to move around.
On the official road of Daqin, four figures walked slowly, lonely and far away, and a white falcon circled back and forth in the sky, looking heroic and majestic.
Four figures were walking hard in the snow with heavy footprints. One of them had gray eyes and a long face, thin eyebrows and a wide kiss. On the right side of his forehead, there was a tiger claw-shaped birthmark. It was not difficult to identify him. Fu Wen, the fourth prince of the Qin Dynasty, was traveling.
The other three people, as soon as they thought about it, they were friends that Fu Wen had made during his four months of travel.
And these three people have also become important supports for him to dominate the world in the future.
In the long snow, a familiar voice came out of the mountains. I heard the voice scolding, "Zou Fuling, Zou Erzhanzi, it's all your fault. I don't have money to drink, and I'm still wearing single clothes now. You Isn’t he the third son of Zou Zhuguo? He can’t even afford a cotton-padded jacket? Damn! You’re a wasteful guy!”
The person who spoke was none other than Jin Chan, the surviving daughter of Jin Zhao, the former leader of the Qiling Gang.
After the matter with the Qiling Gang was resolved, Jin Chan and Zou Fuling left their hometown and began to travel around the world. After finding some of the ways of heaven that Tianji Pavilion had asked for, Zou Fuling boasted that he would take Jin Chan north to the Qin Dynasty to conquer the Qin Dynasty. Jin Chan eagerly agreed to study with the Immortal. As a result, the two of them ran around in Daqin for thirteen times, but the Immortal was not found. Instead, they spent their lives in Daqin. The more they lived, the harder it was to uncover the truth. In the end, the two of them were already dead. No more money.
Coincidentally, just when the two couldn't get rid of the pot, they happened to meet Fu Wen who was traveling in the world. Under Zou Fuling's bad idea, the two made Fu Wen's dog skin plaster and followed Fu Wen all day long to eat and drink. When Fu Wen heard about Zou Fuling, Fuling was the son of the Zou family, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, and was willing to let the two of them eat and drink together. It was at this time that the three of them formed a deep friendship.
Jin Chan often taunted him: "Follow Mr. Zou and drink three times a day." Apart from being able to drink, I don’t have anything I want!
When Zou Fuling heard this, she complained while carrying her heavy luggage, "Hey, my aunt, I've only had four or five drinks in the half year since I came out of Bozhou, so don't complain!"
A few months ago, Zou Fuling recognized Fu Wen, who was six or seven years younger than herself, as her eldest brother because of money spent on a meal. Zou Fuling was unwilling to do so, and when she heard Jin Chan complain, she felt a little aggrieved.
"Hey, hey! What, you still have reason? Huh?"
Hearing Jin Chan shouting, the Hanyu White Falcon in the sky landed on Zou Fuling's head and started pecking at Zou Fuling. Zou Fuling immediately complained, "Wrong! I was wrong! Get it away quickly! Hanyu White Falcon, you Get out of here now, you have forgotten your mother when you have breast milk, I was the one who gave you to Jin Chan in the first place!"
Hanyu White Falcon seemed to be able to understand human speech. After hearing these words, it flapping on Zou Fuling's head became more and more fierce.
After a while, Zou Fuling's head became as messy as a chicken coop that had exploded in the temple!
Fu Wen, who was walking in front, laughed for a while when he saw this, and then his mood became heavy again.
Seven days ago, Jia Xuanshuo, who had never contacted Fu Wen much, sent three secret letters in succession, asking him to return quickly. The secret letters were concise and concise, telling Fu Wen that "there may be a God-given opportunity to capture the Sacred Heart."
The young man's character still lacked some fire. Thinking of this, Fu Wen's heart palpitated: The matter of establishing a prince only depends on the Holy Will. If you can figure out the Holy Will, grasp the fire, and then take the opportunity to capture the Sacred Heart, that is tantamount to For the future, I will be able to achieve great success and break the situation.
Thinking of this, Fu Wen, who had not smiled for a long time, whispered to the young man with icy eyes beside him, "Shi Gen, I think the teacher's instructions should be done without delay. Let's find a farmer to stay overnight. We will arrive at Tianlang City in one go the next day."
The eyes of the young man named Zhao, Annan, and Shigen were filled with ice and fire. He nodded and climbed up an old pine nearby. He looked far into the distance and looked around. After a while, Zhao Annan jumped down from the tree, a little gentle. Di said to Fu Wen, "Don't worry, sir, there will be nothing happening within three miles!"
Fu Wen laughed loudly, "With you and Hanyu White Falcon seeing all directions, I can rest assured!"
Zhao Annan first grinned, and then said with some dissatisfaction, "Stop comparing me to that rotten bird!"
Hearing the word 'rotten bird', Jin Chan felt displeased and angrily dragged Zou Fuling to Zhao Annan, put her hands on her hips and threatened, "Will you say it again?"
Zhao Annan had seen Jin Chan's arrogant ability, so naturally he did not dare to repeat what he just said, but he still said stubbornly, "There are at least a hundred Hanyu White Falcons in the world, but my eyes of ice and fire are unparalleled in the world. You said, in my case In my eyes, is the Hanyu White Falcon a rotten bird?"
Jin Chan was speechless for a moment and had nothing to say. In anger, she slapped her hand and gave Zou Fuling a big neck slap, and said angrily, "Zou Fuling, that mouth under your nostrils can only eat?"
Zou Fuling was slapped inexplicably, feeling aggrieved but unable to release it. Under Jin Chan's angry gaze, he walked pitifully in front of Zhao Annan and suddenly laughed, "A rotten bird? No matter how rotten you are, there will still be your bird." Bad? A guy who has to pull a pretty girl for a long time before he can take off is a thin dog!"
Zhao Annan was stunned for a moment, and finally came to his senses. He looked at Zou Fuling, who had already run away, yelled, and ran after him.
In the snow, a string of laughter like silver bells was left.
...
In Tianlang City, Jia Xuanshuo was waiting anxiously for Fu Wen's return, while waiting even more anxiously for news from the palace.
A few days ago, the emperor Fu Yi, who had always been diligent and tireless in his administration, suddenly announced that he was suspending his court. The ministers thought that this was just because the emperor was tired and planned to rest for a few days, but Jia Xuanshuo, who had been serving the emperor for a long time, noticed something unusual.
During his more than ten years of assisting the emperor Fu Yi, Jia Xuanshuo deeply admired Fu Yi's diligent government affairs. I remember one time when Fu Yi went out hunting in the north and accidentally injured his muscles and bones. His entire right arm could not move. But that was it. , Fu Yi still asked Jia Xuanshuo to accompany him to handle all the government affairs for the day before taking a rest.
Such a diligent and self-disciplined king. How could one have to take a break from court for several days just because of the word "tiredness"?
Jia Xuanshuo had a premonition: something big must happen in the palace.
So, he began to desperately use his contacts to find out the situation in the palace. He immediately dismissed the letter and asked Fu Wen to return to the capital quickly. At the same time, he began to calculate the strength and the courtiers of the Nine Gates and Nine Divisions to support the fourth prince.
The emperor has so many things to do, and his body may have become sick from overwork. If, if, the emperor suddenly becomes ill, suffers an accident, and dies unfortunately, then the power of the three princes will definitely make a big fuss in the capital. In order to prevent this situation from happening, as a big book After receiving the order, he was ready to issue private edicts, support the fourth prince as emperor, and suppress the two princes with an iron fist.
For the sake of the future of the empire, he, Jia Xuanshuo, is willing to bear this infamy.
However, this time was different from the past. The palace was like a steel barrier that could not be penetrated by oil. Jia Xuanshuo tried his best but made no progress.
There is no end to the road. Just when Jia Xuanshuo was at his wits' end, things took a turn for the better.
In the network of relationships left by Fu Wen’s mother, Zhou Liangren, there was an inconspicuous but very important old friend named Lu Xiao. Although he was only a humble official serving under one of the nine great ministers, he was responsible for serving the emperor’s daily life. It's worse. About two days ago, Lu Xiao quietly left the palace, found Jia Xuanshuo, and told him a small secret: the emperor was suffering from the cold winter, and there was no cure for it, and he was gradually dying, and he needed the magical medicine to bring him back to life.
After hearing this, Jia Xuanshuo suddenly understood. No wonder His Majesty, who is diligent in government affairs, has been on hiatus recently. That's it!
After Lu Xiao left, Jia Xuanshuo had no time to find out whether it was true or not. He sent secret letters continuously and continued to urge Fu Wen to return. At the same time, he convened the Four Emperors Party to discuss countermeasures. After many investigations and calculations, everyone finally came to the conclusion: wind and cold are always present. At this time, Although the emperor is seriously ill, he is far from reaching the end of his life and may recover the next day. Wealth is sought in danger. I heard that there is a divine insect in Tianchi in the Han territory. If I can invade the enemy's country and go through hardships to obtain this thing, I will definitely be able to hunt for the Sacred Heart.
Fu Wen, who returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, heard Jia Xuanshuo's conclusion and said categorically, "I'll go there!"
If nothing else, I, Jia Xuanshuo, no longer have a mother, and I absolutely cannot live without a father!
Some people died, but not completely...
