Fusu ascended the throne with the support of Zhang Han and Meng Tian. The first question was what kind of face he needed to face the millions of Qin people in Guanzhong. Naturally, he wanted to ask Meng Yun for his opinion in this regard.
Meng Yun had already heard the news that a direct descendant of the Luo family had appeared in the world. When this news appeared, he knew that the demise of the Qin Dynasty was inevitable. As the most authentic descendant of the Meng family, he should follow the Luo family. .
Not only because of personal feelings, but also because too many books of the Mencius school have been lost. There are so many people in the world who have a photographic memory. It is impossible to recall so many books based on memories alone, especially all kinds of books. Notes from the original version.
Meng Yun believed that since the direct descendants of the Luo family could escape, the storage room would not be directly destroyed in the flames of war. After all, it was the most precious treasure of the entire Luo family.
In the quiet room, Fusu and Meng Yun sat opposite each other. Meng Yun looked at Fusu with a trace of compassion, feeling a little regretful in his heart. If he had died directly in the Great Wall Corps, Fusu might have left a good name in history. reputation.
At least countless people will regret that such a kind and loving eldest son failed to inherit the throne, but now, he will become a king who has subjugated his country.
Fusu said with a sad face: "Meng Yunzi, after Hu Hai dies, how many times should I be called emperor?"
Meng Yun is very confused now. He doesn't know where he stands. Fusu is kind and righteous to him. If Luo Shi is not alive, he will naturally help Fusu and change the Qin Dynasty. But Luo Shi has appeared and is still standing. Knowing that he was opposed to the Qin Dynasty, he knew that he would definitely stand on Luo's side, but the pain in his heart was inevitable.
Facing Fusu's question, Meng Yun remained silent. After a while, he slowly said: "Your Majesty, the third generation is naturally not enough. You are not Hu Hai's successor. You can directly declare his abolition of the emperor's throne and then call him the second emperor." ,but……"
Fusu saw Meng Yun hesitate and asked quickly: "Is there anything wrong with the second emperor?"
Meng Yun said straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, what you want to do after taking the throne depends on who you need to support you.
The First Emperor's reputation is not good. Not to mention the head of Guizhou in the world, even the ministers and nobles in the country do not like him. His only supporters are those Legalist subordinates who are rooted in the grassroots. Do you need them? "
Fusu's face showed deep disgust. He believed that these Legalist subordinates should bear at least six levels of responsibility for Bao Qin's reputation.
Since Shang Yang, Qin's laws have been very harsh. This is an indisputable fact. It is also an indisputable fact that the First Emperor did not care about the people's strength.
However, the subordinate officials at the grassroots level used the Qin law as a tool for extortionate expropriation, causing a disaster far more serious than the law itself. In fact, this has nothing to do with Legalism. All the grassroots officials are like this, but who made the grassroots officials now all the subordinates who study the law? Where are the officials?
Out of his limitations, Fusu naturally believed that it was the Legalists, a group of inhumane people, who had brought disaster to the world.
"Of course not. Those subordinate officials have been poisoning the world for too long. I want to implement benevolent government, so naturally I can't use these people anymore."
Meng Yun nodded and said softly: "In that case, I suggest you abandon the rules set by the First Emperor. You can directly call him Emperor of Qin. This title is used in various edicts."
Fusu was silent for a while and asked softly: "Meng Yunzi, after hearing that the direct descendants of the Luo family have appeared, are you leaving Fusu?"
Meng Yun was stunned when he heard this, and then didn't say anything. He just bowed down heavily. Fusu had a wry smile on his face and sighed: "I originally wanted you to serve as the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. With your knowledge and wisdom, , maybe this is the most suitable.”
Fusu also bowed to Meng Yun, then turned and left. Meng Yun stood up and saw that Fusu's figure was a little bleak, and couldn't help but said: "Master.
If you enfeoff the land of Shandong and enfeoff princes in key cities for heroes and nobles, it may buy you time, but please remember that not a single county in Guanzhong can be enfeoffed. This is the place where kings and kings can compete for the world base. "
Fusu was startled. Young Master seemed to be a title from a long time ago. His Majesty always had a cold meaning. Then he turned around, bowed to Meng Yun, and left here.
There is no feast that never ends in this world, and two people who know each other are eventually separated because of their different identities.
Meng Tian saw Fusu coming out of the door. His eyes suddenly became dark. He glanced into the room and thought to himself: Meng Yun, a talented person like you, it would be great if you could help His Majesty on this journey to the east. Come back, there are so many bandits, aren't you worried about any accidents?
Seeing Fusu looking a little lost, Meng Tian stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what did Meng Yunzi say?"
Fusu sighed: "Meng Yunzi said that I should be called Emperor of Qin directly and not follow the rules set by my father."
Meng Tian nodded when he heard this and said: "That's true. Since you want to take a different path from His Majesty the First Emperor, you must make distinctions in all aspects."
Fusu said as he walked: "Meng Yunzi mainly talked to me about two things. The first one was about my status, and the other was to ask me to make kings in Shandong. I had wanted to make Zhang Qing a king. , now Meng Yunzi means multiple titles, I remember that your ancestors were originally from Qi, if I grant you the title of King of Linzi now, can you put down the rebellion in Qi?"
Meng Tian was shocked when he heard this. It was such an honor and honor to be crowned king in his hometown. He understood that given Fusu's character, this was not a temptation, but a real preparation to do so, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, whether you are crowned king or not, The king and his ministers will do their best to put down the rebellion in Shandong, protect our country and the ancestral temple of Qin, and be loyal to you."
Fusu sighed slightly: "I really don't know how many trustworthy and capable loyal ministers there are in the Qin Dynasty. In such troubled times, those who have treacherous intentions in their hearts, even if they have the ability to spread propaganda, I dare not use.
Meng Yunzi, a talented person who can serve as prime minister, will leave me.
Zhang Qing and Meng Qing, you are my most trusted ministers. Now that the situation in the Qin Dynasty has deteriorated to this point, we must work together. If you can really suppress the rebellion in Qidi, your King Linzi will become King Qi, if I were King Wu of Zhou, you would be Taigong Wang. This is Fusu’s oath. "
Fusu looked at Meng Tian with gleaming eyes. Fusu's face was very soft and beautiful. He inherited the appearance of his mother who was born in the Chu region. It is best to describe it as gentle as jade.
Meng Tian could feel Fusu's expectations for him. Recalling how he was walking on thin ice under the First Emperor, he couldn't help but get wet in his eyes and choked up: "Your Majesty, you are truly a kind king who is hard to find in the world. If I were If I don’t die for you, will I still have a face to live in this world?”
A benevolent monarch may never be as powerful as those who are good at playing politics, but there will always be a group of people who are truly willing to be loyal to him, and this loyalty can even extend to his descendants.
As for those kings who are good at playing with power, the king and his ministers will only fight a hundred battles in the court. Although they have great power when they are alive, when they die, there will be fierce political struggles immediately. The only thing they can do is Kill all those ministers who trusted you in the past.
It was a bright night and the stars were sparse. Meng Yun walked out of Xiaoshan Mountain and met a group of well-equipped bandits. Seeing this scene, he had a sad expression on his face, but he felt a little relaxed. Fusu, Fusu, now I will I owe you nothing.
He didn't ask who sent him. He knew it wasn't Fusu, maybe Meng Tian, maybe someone else. It didn't matter, but the senior officials of the Qin Dynasty knew his intelligence and were naturally unwilling to let him go.
"Your Majesty, Meng Yunzi was killed by bandits east of Mount Xiao."
Fusu was stunned when he heard this, and then said in disbelief: "I sent a total of three hundred royal guards to Meng Yunzi, and they were all warriors with armor. Unless we encountered a large-scale army, how could some bandits harm him? ?”
The attendant lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, he must be a rebel from Shandong. When he saw the soldiers of Qin, he thought they were powerful people, so he attacked Meng Yunzi and found crossbow arrows at the scene. This is not something ordinary bandits can possess."
This explanation is very reasonable. Now many rebels in Shandong have opened the treasury of the county government. Although most of the weapons are in Guanzhong, the rebels still took out a lot of weapons and armor, and even a small number of crossbows.
Fusu believed this explanation, but still could not accept the sudden bad news. He did not regret Meng Yun leaving him at this time, because he knew the importance of the Luo family to Meng Yun.
But he always had the thought in his heart that Meng Yunzi would come back to assist him one day, and the position of Prime Minister of Great Qin would still be reserved for him, but he never expected...
After a moment of silence, he said full of regret: "If I had known today, I shouldn't have allowed Meng Yunzi to return to Shandong, causing the two of us to be separated from each other today."
After the attendant gave a few words of comfort and exited the hall, Fusu held the pen in his hand but could not start writing for a long time. It was not until the ink dripped that he woke up as if from a dream.
"Promote Mengtian to the King of Linzi, Zhang to the King of Handan, and seal Ziying to the King of Xingyang. Xinzheng, Daliang, Jinzhong, these key pass places and wealthy places all need to be crowned kings, and the Chu land needs to be considered. "
He wrote down each stroke, all of which were his more trusted heroes and some of the only remaining clans with great achievements. There were ten of them, all of whom were sealed in Shandong. They were either important passes or the capitals of the Six Kingdoms in the past. Among them Most of them were governed by various counties, and some of them were in the hands of the rebels. It seemed that King Su had enfeoffed the land in the past, and as a result, the princes were allowed to take their own troops to conquer the land.
Not only the royal title, but also the title of Chehou, which had almost no rewards during the First Emperor's period, he generously took out a lot, first awarded some rewards, and then issued many promised rewards.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Zhang and Marquis Meng would like to see you."
The voice of the servant rang outside the palace. Zhang Han and Meng Tian had already been granted the title of marquis first. They were well-deserved top two figures in the Qin army. Both of them were commanders of independent corps. Meng Tian and Fu Su had a closer relationship. Zhang Han's The ability is obviously higher.
In today's troubled times, these two battle-hardened generals are Fusu's most trusted ministers, and they are the white jade pillars of the Qin Dynasty.
After Fusu let the two people in, he greeted them directly: "My dear friends, I have just drawn up a list. Take a look to see if there is anything missing."
List?
The two of them took the cloth handed over by Fu Su. The first row was "King Sheng Meng Tian Lin Zi", and the second row was "King Sheng Zhang Handan". The two people paused for a moment, then knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison. Said: "Your Majesty's grace, the Qin Dynasty will last forever!"
Fusu shook his head and said: "I am just the king of more than a dozen cities. I am still stingy. But now there are rebellions in Shandong, and it is useless to have more titles. If the two beloved princes can make great contributions, I will make them all The titles of king and king of Zhao are granted to you, and the princess is given to your heirs from generation to generation, so that your clan can live together with me, the Qin Dynasty.
My dear friends, please take a look and see if there is anything wrong with this list. It has not been released yet and can be modified. "
Fusu's rewards can't be said to be stingy, especially compared with the First Emperor, they are extremely generous. Anyway, Zhang Han and Meng Tian are full of motivation now, and they can't wait to lead the army to Shandong immediately to compete with the rebels in the cholera world. High or low.
Especially Zhang Han, who had already fought against the rebels. He had won consecutive battles before. He really looked down upon the combat effectiveness of the Shandong Rebels and believed that defeating them was only a matter of time.
As for Fusu's request for the two of them to comment on the reward, naturally neither of them took it seriously. Although Fusu was a benevolent master, he may have asked sincerely, but it was not appropriate for ministers to get involved in matters like the prince's reward. It was appropriate, so the two of them said that Fusu's reward was very appropriate and took into account the opinions of all parties.
Among the ten kings awarded by Fusu, seven were from the clan with the surname Ying. The remaining three were Zhang Han and Meng Tian. There was also a minister from the illegal family who was rare among the first emperor's ministers. He had always been a supporter of Fusu and had assisted him before. Meng Yun and others escaped because of his handiwork.
The practice of enfeoffing the clan is very in line with the thinking of this era. In the past, Bang Zhou was the hero of the same surname in the enfeoffment. Everyone attaches great importance to people of the same clan, especially the Jin State, a once invincible vassal state, suffered after the decline of the clan. The tragic sight made everyone feel sad.
Fusu said: "Since the two beloved ministers have no objection, I will issue an edict tomorrow to announce the reward to the world. Alas, this reward comes too late."
Zhang Han and Meng Tian both sighed when they heard this, yes, it's too late.
The First Emperor thought that he could live forever. He was too confident in himself and thought that all this was unnecessary. By the time he knew that he really could not live forever, it was already too late.
If the First Emperor had sealed his sons in Shandong after pacifying the Six Kingdoms, and asked each of them to bring a large number of personal followers, then many nobles from the Six Kingdoms would have surrendered to these newly-confessed princes and kings.
Let’s not talk about other people, just talking about Fusu. If the First Emperor had named Fusu the King of Chu, with Fusu’s character and political tendency, he would definitely not have violently conquered Chu and used the harsh Qin laws. Probability will not participate in the act of rebellion.
As soon as Fusu's reward list came out, the entire Xianyang City exploded instantly, especially those clans with the surname Ying, a total of seven princes and kings, and a large number of Wanhuhous. Isn't this what they wanted to get by throwing their heads and blood? Something?
With the appearance of this reward, Fusu's reputation instantly reached its peak among the nobles. Even those who were not from the clan with the surname Ying were praising Fusu. People like the First Emperor were harsh to even clan relatives. In that situation, could he still be expected to be kind to other people?
This is the simple thought of everyone in this era. There is nothing wrong with it to a certain extent and it is very reasonable.
"Your Majesty, this is the tribute and gratitude offered to you by the nobles in Xianyang City."
Looking at the mountains of gold, silver, pearls, jade and various rare treasures, as well as the mountains of cloth piled high, Fusu could completely feel the joy of the nobles, and he could also feel the nobles' respect for his father. Otherwise, he is just an emperor who has just ascended the throne, how could he have the support of so many people.
In fact, the original emperor suppressed these people too hard, and he just relaxed a little, and everyone called him the current holy king.
Zhang Han and Meng Tian were supporters of Fusu. Stimulated by the heavy rewards, the clans with the Ying surname spent all their wealth and began to gather the land in Guanzhong. Countless people went bankrupt because of Qin's laws, and even wandered on the edge of life and death. The bandit Qin people then took these people to Shandong.
News of Fusu's massive canonization of princes and kings soon spread to Shandong. In fact, all kings had already risen in Shandong at this time. The survivors of the Six Kingdoms claimed to be King Zhao, King Wei, etc., and there were also people like Chen Sheng. Some are called kings by their surnames, and some are called kings by their counties. There are no less than twenty kings, large and small.
Zhang Han was indeed a master in fighting the rebels. He led the Lishan prisoner army to a great victory and easily defeated King Wei's army. King Wei had no choice but to commit suicide. King Wei's younger brother was elected as the successor to Wei Dynasty by everyone. Wang, both of them are orthodox sons of the Wei Kingdom, and they can be regarded as the most noble group among the rebels.
Hundreds of thousands more troops came to fight against Zhang Han. The most powerful among them was the army of the King of Han. The three Jin lands of Zhao, Wei and Han served as a barrier to Qin's eastward advance during the Warring States Period. During the Warring States Period, they became the base camp and bridgehead. .
Zhang Han flexibly took advantage of the rebel army's weakness of insufficient food and grass supplies. In addition, the rebel army had few elite soldiers. Although there were many soldiers, most of them were Guizhou heads who only knew how to farm.
Although the main force of the army led by Zhang Han is still the prisoner army, one-third of it has been replaced by Meng Tian's Great Wall Corps, which is a regular army.
Under his mobilization of a full 200,000 troops, the rebels were no match for them, and they quickly defeated this massive coalition army in battles.
Outside Xingyang City, Zhang Han looked at the newly captured city and laughed loudly at Ziying beside him: "King Xingyang, your fiefdom has been captured!"
Upon hearing this, Ziying quickly saluted Zhang Han and said: "King Zhang, you are really the white jade pillar of the Qin Dynasty. With you here, the country of the Qin Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai. When you are named King of Zhao in the future, Ziying will definitely come to your palace. See you there."
Along the way, Ziying got to know Zhang Han a lot better, and he knew that there was no real scholar under the famous reputation. This man who was able to win consecutive battles was indeed a real player and was not just relying on luck.
Outside Xingyang City, Zhang Liang fled in panic with King Han. There were only more than a thousand troops following the two of them. King Han looked at the shabby army and said with some despair: "Zifang, Bao Qin is really too strong. This Zhang Han used to be the general manager of the Shaofu, but he has never been defeated since he led the army. If Meng Tian, who has experienced battles for a long time, leads his army, will anyone be able to defeat him?
The current emperor of the Qin Dynasty is Fusu. He has always had a reputation for kindness. If we surrender, he will not do what the First Emperor did. "
When the first emperor basically wiped out the direct descendants of the six royal families, especially Chu and Qi, they were basically wiped out.
Zhang Liang heard this and said sternly: "Your Majesty, we must not surrender. Have you forgotten your great wish to restore the country?
Which king in this world can succeed without going through hardships and hardships? Liang spent all his wealth over the years and even risked his life to assassinate the single husband. Although he failed many times, he never thought of giving up.
It's just a small failure now. It would be a pity to give up. I heard that the Luo family has reappeared in the world, and that the Xiang family of Chu State has come out. Chu State is the strongest among the countries and is also a rebel. The strongest.
Although the direct line of the Chu royal family has long been overthrown by the Qin, the Xiang family is enough to replace the Chu royal family. As long as the Chu people join the anti-Qin ranks, coupled with the mysterious Luo family, the Qin Dynasty will surely fall.
As long as we go to make an alliance with the Luo family, the Luo family and the Xiang family will definitely agree to restore Korea in order to win over the descendants of the six countries, and I have an old relationship with the Xiang family.
The violent Qin Dynasty is unpopular, but the hearts of Koreans are still here. We will soon be able to raise an army again, and Korea can be restored. You must not give in! "
The fifth generation of Zhang Liang's family has been with Han. It is almost his obsession to destroy the violent Qin and restore Korea. Now King Han actually wants to surrender. There is even evil in his eyes. King Han was startled when he saw it, and he said repeatedly: "Don't be angry, Zifang. I just made a slip of the tongue. We will go to make an alliance with the Luo family immediately."
Only then did the evil spirit in Zhang Liang's eyes dissipate, and the group hurriedly headed towards the place where the Xiang family and the Luo family announced their alliance to the world. It was Zhaocheng, the former site of the Luo Kingdom's capital.
Zhang Han defeated the armies of the King of Wei and the King of Han. After gathering the defeated troops, he crossed the river and attacked Zhao. At this time, Meng Tian led the army to attack Zheng and broke through Hulao Pass. The entire land of Zheng and Chen was under his control. Under the front of the army, although the war of rebellion among the world is still in full swing, and the conflicts in the world can no longer be extinguished by a simple military victory, but in the short term, there is really some meaning of a rebellion. .
At this time, Xiang Yu went north from Jianghuai. He learned that the Qin army was sharp and might even threaten the place where the princes gathered for alliance, so he decisively led the Jiangdong disciples to attack. The Jiangdong disciples have always been one of the most elite troops in Chu State. .
————
In the first year of Emperor Fusu's reign, Zhang Han defeated Wei, defeated Han, and defeated the rebel army. He also sent troops to attack Zhao. Meng Tian attacked Zheng, went to Hulao, and forced Chen Di. The world was in crisis.
Xiang Yu crossed the river to the east with eight thousand men. Yu thought about the small number of troops and said: "The children of Jiangdong are all entrusted by their fathers and cannot die. Now it is better to cut off the food channels of Qin's troops, trap their strength, and then win."
If it was true, he held it for more than ten days and defeated it in three battles. Meng Tian was in the tiger prison and defended himself at the pass. Yu Zi led his troops eastward and made an alliance with the princes. ——"Historical Records·The Chronicles of Xiang Yu"
