Wang Li was allowed to follow the car, finally getting rid of the control of his father Wang Ben, and was also entrusted by the First Emperor with the important task of exploring the road ahead.
Although the task is arduous, it can be said that the sea is vast and fish can leap, and the sky is high and birds can fly.
The long journey in ancient times was really not a beautiful thing... This is not tourism.
It's boring and boring... The traveling speed is excruciatingly slow, and there are no entertainment items along the way.
As for the so-called driving, it is actually more of a kind of favor and trust. The average speed is about the same as walking speed. Driving a hammer car.
Drag racing is enjoyable, but if the speed is as slow as 20 miles, it will probably be a torture for the driver.
As the main driver, Zhao Si's range of activities is extremely limited and boring.
"I don't know if I can ask the First Emperor for a maid..." Zhao Si sighed.
After the palace tour, basically everything was kept simple except for the personal use of the First Emperor. It was really a chore for the accompanying officials. Zhao Si was a young and strong man, and his personal problems really needed to be solved.
The First Emperor was not unkind, and if he asked for it, he would probably give it to him. However, Zhao Si estimated that with the bad taste that the First Emperor often showed recently, he would probably be teased by the First Emperor for a long time.
As they drove forward, the First Emperor and Dun Ruo discussed the details of the secret service, while Hu Hai talked eagerly with Zhao Si.
Zhao Si replied absentmindedly.
But having said that, Hu Hai is quite handsome.
And from Zhao Si's perspective, apart from height and body shape, Hu Hai and the First Emperor looked really alike.
It is simply a Q-version of the First Emperor scaled down.
Moreover, in his speech and behavior, you can also tell that he has something in his stomach, his speech is also very graceful, and his ability to express himself is very clear.
In the current brief contact, except for the obvious intention of getting close to Zhao Si, there is no fault in other aspects.
It's no wonder that if Hu Hai was really an ignorant idiot, why did the First Emperor love Hu Hai alone? And objectively speaking, with the current imperial clan training system in Qin Dynasty, it is impossible for Hu Hai to be raised alive like a vassal king in the Ming Dynasty.
However, who would have thought that Hu Hai would frequently make ugly appearances after he ascended the throne?
"This kind of contrast can be ranked among the top today!" Zhao Si thought to himself as he responded to Hu Hai's conversation perfunctorily.
History is not a stereotype. Even if Hu Hai and Zhao Gao played buffoons in history, that is from a historical perspective. From the current perspective, there is no doubt that they both have certain strengths, at least not As for putting everything on your face, it makes people evil.
Hu Hai is really patient, and Zhao Si deserves to have a good relationship with him.
For Hu Hai, it can be said that he was flattered that the First Emperor suddenly brought him along during this grand tour of the world.
After all, he and the First Emperor were no longer so close a long time ago.
Especially after Zhao Gao told him that his eldest brother Fusu had once again angered the First Emperor, and it was precisely because of this that he was taken away.
Zhao Gao implicitly expressed his fantasy about that position.
Hu Hai's first reaction was not excitement, but fear.
Although Hu Hai and Fu Su are not from the same mother, the relationship between Hu Hai and Fu Su is really very good.
One is the eldest and the other is the youngest. There is a huge age difference between them. The First Emperor was busy with government affairs and neglected family ties. Hu Hai's childhood was occupied by Fusu for a long time.
In other words, perhaps because of the lack of fatherly love, Fusu tried his best to make up for every brother after him.
As the eldest brother, Fusu did really nothing to say.
Every brother recognized Fusu, including Hu Hai. Even for Hu Hai, he subconsciously believed that no one except Fusu was qualified to be the prince.
If someone really wants to compete with Fusu for the position of prince, then Hu Hai will probably stand behind Fusu.
Although the First Emperor did not confirm the position of crown prince, Fusu was indeed the one everyone expected.
The brothers loved and respected him, not just because he advocated sealing the country for the brothers.
Being both brother and father is the best interpretation of Fusu.
Because of this, when Zhao Gao and Hu Hai talked all night long and mentioned these things in a vague way, Hu Hai was really frightened.
So when he stood in the co-pilot position of the First Emperor, he was terrified. One night, he couldn't figure out how to face all this.
But there is no doubt that power is a deadly poison.
The First Emperor might be really angry with Fusu, or he might really want to try to see Hu Hai's ability, or he might just want to simply warn Fusu.
But Hu Hai's heart was already in chaos!
Although he hasn't thought about these issues clearly yet, he has already begun to instinctively try to fight for something for himself.
For example, Zhao Si, a close minister beside his father.
Hu Hai knew very well that his father had never valued anyone as much as Zhao Si.
Zhao Si's favor and closeness were treatment that none of them could enjoy as biological sons. Because of this, Hu Hai clearly knew how much influence Zhao Si had on the First Emperor.
Including Zhao Gao also repeatedly emphasized the need to make good friends with Zhao Si.
Although Zhao Si doesn't have many friends, everyone is actually very afraid of Zhao Si. His position is too important!
With the First Emperor's closeness to Zhao Si, with just one sentence, he could even be more influential than the Three Gongs and Nine Qings.
In the world, Zhao Si is probably the only one who doesn't realize what this closeness means.
Therefore, even if Zhao Si responded perfunctorily, Hu Hai still seemed very patient.
Desire for power...can corrode people's hearts. Asking for something and asking for nothing are two completely different states.
"I see that Minister Zhao is alone and not yet married?" Hu Hai said with a smile.
"No...no rush." Zhao Si waved his hand, not intending to say more about the important matter of marriage.
Zhao Si laughed and continued to deal with it. If possible, he didn't want to have too much communication with Hu Hai.
Who Hu Hai is has nothing to do with Zhao Si... He and Hu Hai are incompatible with each other.
The group traveled until night and took a short rest at the Chidao Army Station.
The conditions in the military camp were relatively difficult, but as a close minister of the king, Zhao Si was still assigned a separate tent.
After Zhao Si briefly washed himself, he was about to go to bed under the moonlight, when someone opened the door.
"Sent from Hu Hai?"
Looking at the two petite and cute maids in front of him, Zhao Si sighed.
This is... a test for cadres...
Zhao Si was at the age where he was like a wolf and a tiger. He came to follow the First Emperor and became an ascetic. When he woke up every morning, he felt like he was holding up a pillar in the sky, which was really hard to bear.
Zhao Si was really unable to withstand such a test.
But if you can’t stand it, you have to stand it!
Zhao Si struggled mentally for a long time, but finally refused.
No need...
On the other side, inside the military base, the First Emperor was lying on a rocking chair.
"Your Majesty... the Eighteenth Young Master sent two maids to serve as Minister Zhao." Dun Ruo knelt down and spoke softly.
"Well...has Zhao Si accepted it?"
"Shilang Zhao refused and sent him back the way he came."
…
In fact, this kind of friendship activity is normal, at least in this era.
The royal bloodline in the pre-Qin period had a lot of autonomy. They could serve as officials, serve as three princes and nine ministers, and they could also serve as generals and command the war situation. Hu Hai's friendship with Zhao Si was not an extraordinary move, even if it made the world Look, you can't say anything about Hu Hai from a legal perspective.
Moreover, Hu Hai did not hide his actions, he just sent two maids.
On the contrary, Zhao Si's refusal was a bit inhumane.
"Um……"
The First Emperor lay on the rocking chair with his arms folded and fell into silence.
He had already communicated with Dun Ruo about the proposal to form an organization independent of Sangong and Jiuqing.
Dunwei is of course very supportive.
After all, it's the old business... However, the formal establishment of such an organization must hold a court meeting and discuss it with all civil and military officials.
When the time comes, there will inevitably be some wrangling and remonstrance.
However, although no organization has been established for the time being, it does not hinder the action of suppressing the weak.
On the contrary, the First Emperor has put this matter on the agenda, and it will only be more beneficial to act weakly.
The first stop is Dongjun!
The results achieved by Dunwei will determine the extent of the rights and autonomy of this newly established department.
This is a good knife, and the First Emperor must hold it in his own hands.
But the problem at hand is to name it. After rejecting Zhao Si Jinyiwei's proposal, for the time being, I haven't come up with a good name.
But if you don't bother the two masters, you can leave it to Zhao Si until you are satisfied.
As for Hu Hai's friendship with Zhao Si, compared with these state affairs, it is just a small episode.
This was nothing, the First Emperor was not just showing off to Fusu, he really planned to take the exam and observe Hu Hai.
He was not the kind of person who would ask a girl to frighten Fusu when he was angry.
It's not that the opportunity was not given, and the favor was not given. Fusu Ming was stubborn and chose to be a stubborn donkey, and it was reasonable for the First Emperor to choose to replace him for inspection.
Unfortunately, for now, Hu Hai's performance is somewhat inadequate.
"After all, I am a little eager for quick success..."
The First Emperor sighed.
Objectively speaking, regardless of political opinions that were inconsistent with the First Emperor's, Fusu was the best heir among the First Emperor's eighteen children in every aspect.
Hu Hai's purpose of getting close to Zhao Si is self-evident, and it is too fast...
However, Zhao Si's refusal did surprise the First Emperor... Zhao Si was not a person who liked to offend others.
Is it because you saw this? It's not like this guy is that thoughtful.
After thinking about it, the First Emperor's brows gradually furrowed... In any case, the issue of successor was indeed a key issue that had always troubled the First Emperor.
At present, there is more good news in Daqin due to the arrival of Zhao Si, and many problems that had no clues have been solved.
But this is already the limit. The issue of successor cannot become clearer just because of Zhao Si's arrival, right?
Unfortunately, the First Emperor was certain that he did not have any illegitimate children left among the people.
"Send two maids to send them away..."
After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't have much clue about the issue of the crown prince. The First Emperor had to wave his hand and choose to stop caring about Zhao Si's personal affairs.
I had forgotten before that Zhao Si was not yet married, and he was at the age where he was like a wolf and a tiger.
