"My family lives in Loess Gaopo. My father is my mother's cousin. They had me before they got married. Yohoho~~yohoho~~"
After the court meeting, Zhao Hao was in a good mood because Hu Hai was successfully tricked into going to Yuyang County by him.
Therefore, as soon as the court meeting ended, he took the four general brothers and several close courtiers to Liuheju for a feast, during which he also drank a lot of wine.
But when I returned to Chu Nan Pavilion, I still felt a little unfinished, so I hummed a tuneless song and opened the door leisurely.
However, the moment he opened the door, the singing stopped abruptly.
"Father Emperor"
Zhao Hao didn't expect Ying Zheng to be waiting for him so late, and couldn't help but be surprised.
But soon he saw something unusual in Ying Zheng's expression, secretly thinking that this bitch Laifu betrayed him again?
Thinking of this, he quickly looked for Laifu, but it turned out that only Ying Zheng and him were in the room. He hesitated for a few seconds, then approached him with a playful smile, and joked: "Father, it's so late, why haven't you fallen asleep yet? Are you unable to sleep?" , Miss your son?"
"Don't your family live on the Loess Plateau? What are you doing here?" Ying Zheng snorted coldly.
Zhao Hao didn't expect that Ying Zheng could hear his singing so clearly. He couldn't help but grinned in embarrassment and said with a smile: "What did your father say? Isn't this where your home is?"
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Don't give me a playful smile, and don't think that I don't understand. I just don't want to deal with you!"
"Yes, yes, I know that my father loves me!"
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded repeatedly, and then quickly came to Ying Zheng's side, smelling of alcohol.
Ying Zheng frowned and raised his hand to pour him a cup of sobering tea.
Zhao Hao wisely picked up the tea cup and instantly felt a warmth coming from the cup body. He was slightly startled. He must have changed the sobering tea many times, otherwise it would not be so perfect.
Feeling moved in his heart, Zhao Hao drank the sobering tea in his cup, then slowly sat down opposite Ying Zheng and said with a smile: "Father, you are waiting for me so late, you must have something to tell me, right?"
"What are your plans to take Hu Hai to Yuyang County?" Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Hao and asked directly.
Zhao Hao smiled hoarsely and said: "It turns out that my father went to the tunnel to eavesdrop again!"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Ying Zheng grimaced angrily, obviously dissatisfied with Zhao Hao's words.
But Zhao Hao did not answer Ying Zheng directly, and said with a smile: "Father, I think that my son has done so much and you have not come out. What is the ultimate purpose?"
"Um?"
Ying Zheng frowned: "Isn't it to solve the shortcomings of Da Qin after it quickly annexed the six countries?"
"This is just one of the goals, but not the ultimate goal."
Zhao Hao shook his head, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Father, do you still remember what my son said about moving the capital?"
"Move the capital?"
"right!"
Zhao Hao nodded and said: "Moving the capital is a long-term plan. My son asked Hu Hai to go to Yuyang County. The most important thing is not that the prince guards the country, but to a certain extent, let Qin have a sense of its achievements, that is, what is being run now Everything could be lost, making them even more dependent on the court.”
"Why did Li Si's implementation of 'dividing a small family into an entire family' produce little effect? Because he did not dare to touch the interests of the meritorious deeds. Although there is no such thing as aristocratic families in Da Qin, the aristocratic families have always existed, and they are actually meritorious deeds;
Once the imperial court moves the capital and the population moves north, the economic center will gradually move north. Over time, while the northern economy will prosper, the national economy will be firmly controlled by the imperial court.
By that time, no matter in the north or south, the meritorious officials will be more dependent on the imperial court. Instead of being like the late Qin Dynasty in history, the imperial court was more dependent on the meritorious officials, causing the meritorious officials to give up their resistance and the people below them to lie down. In the end, even the people who restored the country would not be able to resist. nothing! "
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, and then continued: "The six kingdoms were destroyed by our Great Qin. Every year, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms clamor for restoration. Our Great Qin has done so much, but in the end we are abandoned by them. How is this? Satire?"
"."
Ying Zheng looked very unhappy because Zhao Hao had told him some things about Qin Mo.
What made him most angry was the rebellion by the county guards.
You must know that county guards are very important officials in Da Qin, and each of their appointments was personally appointed by the emperor. Such a person is definitely a capable minister who is highly recognized by the emperor and has outstanding achievements.
Even they started to rebel against Qin, so what kind of chaos would Qin end like?
After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng softened his expression and said calmly: "So, moving the capital is your ultimate goal?"
"No."
Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head: "The ultimate goal of your minister is to summarize the lessons of history and let the Qin Dynasty go further. Not to mention thousands of generations, there should be no problem in three hundred years!"
"Why only three hundred years?"
Ying Zheng said in a funny tone: "The other Zhou dynasties were more than seven hundred years old!"
"Can the Zhou Dynasty compare with our Qin Dynasty? They are not unified countries!"
Zhao Hao curled his lips and said: "The three hundred years that I mentioned is the limit of a unified dynasty! No country in history has been able to sustain its national destiny for three hundred years!"
"There is such a thing, does it mean that there will be many unified dynasties after our Great Qin?"
"Isn't this normal? The emperor takes turns and comes to my house next year!"
"Asshole!"
Ying Zheng slapped the table and scolded: "Why do emperors take turns? When you come to my house next year, why do you always say anti-thief remarks? And what kind of princes, generals and ministers would rather have the seed? Have you already had it? Are you against your will?"
Zhao Hao said aggrievedly: "Oh, my father, the conscience of heaven and earth, if I have a counter-intention, why should I help you with advice? Isn't this just taking off my pants and farting, which is unnecessary?"
"He's full of market talk and doesn't have any of the cultivation of a king!"
"The so-called cultivation is nothing more than..."
"Okay! You're the only one who's wrong!"
Ying Zheng interrupted Zhao Hao angrily, and then continued: "Go on, why is there no three-hundred-year-old dynasty in history?"
Zhao Hao thought for a while and said: "The main reason is naturally that land annexation has led to a wide gap between the rich and the poor in society!"
"Land annexation?"
Ying Zheng frowned and said thoughtfully: "Didn't I order a ban on land annexation?"
"This is just that my father stopped the land annexation this time, but my father cannot guarantee whether your descendants will turn a blind eye to the land annexation for some purpose."
Zhao Hao shook his head and said: "There have been more than one decree prohibiting land annexation in history, but the result is that in the later period of the dynasty, land annexation became more and more serious, and the gap between the rich and the poor became wider and wider, eventually leading to the collapse of the dynasty!"
"Is there any way to prevent this?"
"There are ways, but they may not be effective, because we cannot control the changes that will happen after us. We can only lay a good foundation and let the changes come later."
"So, you already have an idea in mind?" Ying Zheng asked.
Zhao Hao nodded and admitted, but did not continue.
Because the three hundred years of national destiny are actually not a historical law, but an economic law. If you want to explain the economic laws clearly to Ying Zheng, it would be a long story.
So, he simply stopped talking.
Seeing that Zhao Hao was silent, Ying Zheng frowned slightly in disappointment, and then took the initiative to change the subject and said, "When do you plan to leave Xianyang?"
"When Hu Hai leaves, I will leave!"
"What about me?"
"Father is leaving too?"
Zhao Hao asked Ying Zheng in surprise.
However, Ying Zheng looked very calm: "You are all gone, are you going to leave me alone in the tunnel to suffer?"
"No, doesn't my father like to dig into tunnels?"
"Is your skin itchy again?"
"No way!"
Zhao Hao smiled: "I thought my father wanted to know more about what happened after his death."
"Huh! I'm extremely disappointed with them!"
Ying Zheng snorted dissatisfiedly: "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have gone out to kill you!"
"No! Don't put the blame on my back. I still can't see through my father's thoughts! If you want to figure it out, who can stop you?"
"hehe."
Ying Zheng smiled noncommittally, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Tang Juzhi has also come to Xianyang, did you know?"
Zhao Hao nodded and said: "Ying Chengyu came before he died, but he hasn't made any move yet!"
"Do you have any idea?"
"No matter how cunning a fox is, there are times when he can't hide his tail. Maybe he is also waiting for me to leave Xianyang!"
"You want me to stay in Xianyang and help you look after him?" Ying Zheng revealed Zhao Hao's little thoughts in one sentence.
Zhao Hao chuckled: "Isn't he also my father's pet peeve? It just so happens that my father can fight him!"
"Just him?"
Ying Zheng said with some disdain: "What qualifications does a demon hiding in the dark have to become my personal nuisance?"
"but."
As he spoke, he changed the topic and continued: "I always have the illusion that this Tang Juzhi looks a lot like you!"
"Ah? Really? Could it be that he is my son?"
"Bastard! He doesn't even know how old he is. How old are you? How could he be your son?"
"Yes." Zhao Hao touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then tentatively said: "Then I am his son?"
"."
Ying Zheng's forehead was instantly covered with black lines, and his words came out from between his teeth: "Where is my sword!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but look around.
At this moment, Laifu appeared out of nowhere and said with a smile: "What are you looking for, Your Majesty? I will help you find it!"
"roll--!"
The father and son said in unison.
Laifu trembled all over, rolled and crawled away, and left.
"Hehehe"
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, and then there was silence again.
In fact, they both know what the other person wants to say, but they don't want to say it clearly.
In this way, the father and son were silent for a while, and ended the conversation silently.
At the same time, Hu Hai was in the palace.
Zhao Gao became extremely angry because Hu Hai recklessly agreed to Zhao Hao's visit to Yuyang County.
"Has the prince forgotten his plan to become a master? Why is he so confused!"
Zhao Gao scolded Hu Hai with an ugly expression.
Hu Hai also knew that he was a little impulsive, so he said solemnly: "How about I stop going to Yuyang, teacher?"
"The prince promised the prince to guard the country in front of the civil and military officials of the court. How can it be a child's play?"
Zhao Gao said angrily.
Hu Hai's face suddenly turned the color of a bitter melon: "Then what should Hu Hai do? The teacher needs to help Hu Hai, Hu Hai doesn't want to die yet!"
"snort!"
Zhao Gao snorted coldly, but ignored Hu Hai.
At this time, Hu Hai turned his attention to Yan Le again: "Xianyang Order, you have to think of something for this prince!"
"Ah? This"
Yan Le didn't expect Hu Hai to come to him, so he couldn't help but be surprised, but soon showed a wry smile: "The prince's move is indeed a bit impulsive."
"I have already realized my mistake. Why are you still holding on to me? Are you trying to force me to death?"
Hu Hai was obviously in mood.
Zhao Gao and Yan Le looked at each other and knew that they could no longer criticize Hu Hai harshly, so they nodded to Yan Le.
Yan Le said thoughtfully: "Actually, the prince doesn't need to worry. Didn't King Qin Hao say that? The prince can choose any general he wants. There are so many generals in the court who are good at conquering and fighting. How can they still not deal with the Huns?"
"this……"
Hu Hai hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "In your opinion, who should I choose more appropriately?"
"hehe."
Yan Le smiled: "Qin Wanghao only said that the prince would choose, but he did not say that he would only choose one person!"
"Um?"
Hu Hai's eyes suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but slap his forehead: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that! I can choose a few more. If one doesn't work, then just a few. I don't believe I can't survive two months!"
After saying that, he laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Yan Qing is worthy of being my prince's minister!"
Yan Le bowed with a stern expression: "Your Majesty, this is my father-in-law's idea. I don't have such quick thinking!"
"Oh, I almost forgot, you are Lang Zhongling's son-in-law! Yes, yes! We are all our own! When I ascend the throne, I will grant you the title of Marquis and Prime Minister!"
"hehe."
Yan Le smiled noncommittally, and then looked at Zhao Gao subconsciously.
Zhao Gao also grinned with a smile on his face and said again: "The prince will definitely need someone to escort him when he goes out. Does the East Palace Guard need to be handed over to a trustworthy person?"
"Yes! The teacher is right! That good-for-nothing Ying Ziyang really pisses off this prince!"
"Does the prince have a suitable candidate?"
Hu Hai thought for a while and said: "Qu Gong is the chief of the guard assigned to me by my father, and he is appointed as the crown prince's guard. What do you think, teacher?"
"Although Qu Gong is the prince's confidant, the prince cannot be nepotistic, especially for such an important position as Wei Shu!" Zhao Gao said expressionlessly.
Hu Hai scratched his head subconsciously, with a dumb look on his face, and said, "Who do you think the teacher can be qualified to serve as the crown prince's guard?"
Zhao Gao pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "This person must be quick-thinking and able to make suggestions for the prince at critical moments. He must also have skillful means of escape to help the prince survive in danger;
Of course, this person must also be familiar to me, otherwise the confidential discussion between me and the prince will be easily leaked! "
"I'm afraid it's a little hard to find."
Hu Hai muttered in embarrassment, then suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Yan Le: "The Xianyang Order can't control anything in Xianyang, why not go to Yuyang County with this prince?"
"ah?"
Yan Le looked at Hu Hai in confusion.
But Hu Hai slapped him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yan Qing is not only quick-thinking, but also wins my heart. The prince's guard is handed over to Yan Qing, and I am very relieved!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Gao: "What do you think, teacher?"
Zhao Gao smiled slightly: "Prince Shengming!"
"Hahaha, okay! With Yan Qing here, my prince has nothing to worry about!"
Yan Le: "." (End of chapter)
