About half a decade passed, and the news came from the East China Sea that Xu Fu was going to sea by boat, and Ying Zheng was very happy. But then a bad news came, that is, after so much time, Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, who went out to purchase medicinal materials, have not returned, and the elixir that the two of them refined for Yingzheng in advance has already been taken, if the two of them don't come back, I'm afraid there will be no one to refine the elixir for Yingzheng anymore.

In the Qiankun Palace, the hall was silent, and the emperor Yingzheng sat in the hall. The Qiankun Palace, which was supposed to be full of smoke, couldn't see a trace of fireworks at this time, the alchemy furnace in the center of the main hall was also cold, and the wooden shelves around it that were originally full of medicinal materials were also empty, and the previous Qiankun Hall looked like two places.

Ying Zheng looked at the deserted Qiankun Palace, in front of him there were several servants in the Qiankun Hall kneeling on the ground, trembling like a sifting chaff, their heads knocked on the ground, and cold sweat was dripping on their foreheads.

"Why, no one knows where Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng went?" Ying Zheng's cold voice came from above his head, and it was like a thunderbolt in the ears of several people kneeling on the ground.

One of the servants kneeling at the front looked up and stammered, "Go back...... Back to Your Majesty, the two immortals ...... The whereabouts of the immortal chief and the villain really don't know, please ask Your Majesty to be merciful and spare the villain's life. ”

Ying Zheng was furious in his chest, he didn't expect these two people to dare to deceive him, defraud the money and disappear without a trace.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao who was standing aside, and said to him: "Zhao Gao, Xu Fu was recommended to me by you, and Xu Fu recommended Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng to me, and now the two of them can't find anyone, what do you say? It doesn't matter the whereabouts of the two of them, what should I do with my elixir?"

Zhao Gao was also taken aback when he learned the news that Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng had disappeared with money, and Xu Fu didn't say that such a situation would happen when he talked about these two people. Now that Xu Fu has gone to sea and can't come back, these two people have disappeared without a trace, if Yingzheng really wants to investigate, wouldn't it be that the plan that he has worked so hard for so long will all come to naught.

The best way now is to clear up the relationship between himself and these two people, Zhao Gao immediately made a decision, and he said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, these two people are the senior brothers of Xu Xianchang, and they should have the ability." It's just that now that they left suddenly, the villain doesn't know what the reason is, and today's plan should be immediately announced to the whole country to arrest these two people. ”

"Okay, then do as you say, do it. I must arrest these two people for me, and I will see them alive and dead, and I want to see how dare they deceive me!"

"No. ”

Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng didn't expect that because of the two of them, the entire Qin State began a huge search and arrest operation, and countless people died innocently because of the two of them, in fact, the two of them were just the igniters who ignited this gunpowder.

Despite this incident, which gave Ying Zheng some headaches, the birthday banquet of Ying Zheng was held in the palace of Xianyang City as usual soon after, and almost all the courtiers of the Qin State came to the palace to congratulate Ying Zheng on his birthday.

On the birthday banquet, the wine was half drunk, and the doctor shot Zhou Qingchen stood up and said respectfully to Yingzheng: "Your Majesty, if you are stable today, the four seas are surrendered, the territory of my Great Qin is the word three emperors and five emperors, there is no comparison, Your Majesty's merits, there is no way to express, where the sun and the moon shine, do not surrender to Your Majesty, the minister thinks, Your Majesty's merits, even if the Yellow Emperor is alive, Dayu is reborn, it is not comparable." ”

Zhou Qingchen's words made His Majesty the Emperor sycophants obvious, and all the ministers present laughed and said nothing, and it seemed that Yingzheng, who was sitting on the throne, was also very useful when he heard such words.

However, another doctor, Qi Renchun Yuyue, who had a disagreement with Zhou Qingchen, said: "The minister heard that the king of Yin Zhou is more than 1,000 years old, and he is a meritorious man, and he is a branch assistant. Now His Majesty has the sea, and the children are the husbands, and the pawns are Tian Chang, the ministers of the Six Qings, and there is no help, how can they save each other? Today, the young minister is facing His Majesty's faults again, and he is not a loyal minister. "Three-two

As soon as Chun Yuyue's words were finished, the hall was full of surprise. If Zhou Qingchen's words were to please the emperor, then Chun Yuyue's words would almost directly offend Yingzheng. So not only Zhou Qingchen, but also all the other ministers, even Ying Zheng's face changed greatly after Chun Yuyue finished speaking.

Zhou Qingchen and Chun Yuyue have always been at odds, and everyone has known about it for a long time. For nothing else, Zhou Qingchen is the prince of the fourteenth prince Hu Hai, and Chun Yuyue is the prince of the son Fusu. Now that His Majesty the Emperor is in poor health, he has not said who will succeed to the throne, which makes everyone not know how to stand in line, so as not to lose his official position in the future. Now the only competitive one is except for the justifiable eldest prince Fusu, and that is the fourteenth prince Hu Hai.

With the support of Meng Tian behind Fusu, it can almost be said that Fusu now has almost all the military forces of the Qin State, and if anything unexpected happens in the future, everyone thinks that Fusu has the greatest possibility of succeeding to the throne. And Hu Hai is supported by Zhao Gao, although the official rank of the CRRC government is not high, but after all, people are the people around His Majesty the Emperor, there is a way to get the moon first near the water, if Zhao Gao takes the preemptive strike in the future, I am afraid that it is really not good to say who will sit on the throne, not to mention that according to rumors, the prime minister has also secretly taken refuge in Hu Hai Gongzi, so I am afraid that I really don't know who is the winner of these two sons until the end.

I never thought that the two sons and two teachers would fight in front of His Majesty the Emperor today, this is a little confused by all the ministers who are still waiting, could it be that they have already started to compete for the throne now?

Fusu and Hu Hai were both present today, but according to the identities of the two of them, their teachers quarreled, and it was about their father's face, so they couldn't dissuade them, so they could only look at their teachers for help.

Chun Yuyue was once a staff member under Meng Tian, and Meng Tian appreciated his knowledge, so he recommended him to Fusu to teach his studies. He knew that this person had an upright temperament and didn't like to slap horses, so it was only fitting for someone like him to teach Fusu. Today, on such an occasion, Chun Yuyue suddenly opened his mouth to attack Zhou Qingchen, and Meng Tian was also unexpected, but he also saw Fusu's eyes looking at him, and nodded slightly to him, he would find a way.

After Chun Yuyue finished speaking, Ying Zheng's face was extremely difficult to see, but he knew that Chun Yuyue was very satisfied with teaching Fusu, and his words were nothing more than telling himself that a courtier like Zhou Qingchen would only aggravate his own mistakes, and he could not be regarded as a minister. Ying Zheng understood this, so he didn't say that he wanted to blame Chun Yuyue, the reason why he was angry was because Chun Yuyue's words had another meaning. Chun Yuyue hopes that Yingzheng can "learn from the ancients", follow the example of the previous dynasty, implement the feudal system, and like Zhou Tianzi divided the princes, with the "auxiliary" of the country of his children, the empire can "how to save each other".

It's just that this matter has already been determined when the Qin State pacified the world, Chun Yuyue wants to turn over and start over, which is already a bit of a backlash that touches Yingzheng. As we all know, it is precisely because Zhou Tianzi divided the princes that the princes of the world later supported their own troops, and finally the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, the Warring States Seven Heroes were numerous, and the Qin State later dominated the world. Therefore, after pacifying the world at the beginning, Yingzheng followed Li Si's advice, abolished the feudal division, and established counties and counties, which proved to be the best way.

Ying Zheng held back his anger, he looked at Li Si who was sitting in the first seat of the civil official, Chun Yuyue's words were partly aimed at Li Si, so Ying Zheng wanted to know what Li Si thought. "Prime Minister, what do you think of Dr. Chunyu's words?"

How could Li Si not hear the meaning of Chun Yuyue's words, he smiled slightly, and then said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the five emperors do not return to each other, and the three generations do not attack each other, each with its own rule, not the opposite, and the time changes." Today, Your Majesty has created a great cause and built a great achievement for all generations, which is certainly not known to fools. And the more you say is a matter of three generations, how can you do it?"

After Li Si finished speaking, some courtiers who fought with Li Si said that according to Li Si's words, that is, the road of "Shigu" is different, and Chun Yuyue is just a "fool", and he cannot be discussed with him.

After finishing speaking, Tie Qing, who didn't look at Chun Yuyue's face, continued to say to Yingzheng: "The princes at different times are competing together, and they are looking for a study tour. Today, it is decided that the decree will be issued, and the people will be in charge of the peasants and workers, and the scholars will study the decree to dispel the ban. Today's beings do not learn from the present but learn from the past, and confuse the head of the world with the non-current world...... When people hear the order, they will discuss it according to their learning, if they are wrong, if they go out, they will discuss it in the alley, praise the lord as a name, take it as high, and lead the group to slander. If it is forbidden in this way, the main power will descend to the top, and the party will become at the bottom, and it will be prohibited. ”

Li Si's words are even more terrifying than Chun Yuyue's words, if Chun Yuyue is only aimed at Zhou Qingchen alone, then the Prime Minister's next words are almost undoubtedly an attack on the entire scholar class.

Li Si "spoke wildly", on the contrary, Ying Zheng did not get angry after listening to Li Si's words, and his originally angry face has returned to normal. However, this made Meng Tian and Fusu, as well as Meng Yi and these people more terrifying than hearing thunder ringing in their ears, even if what Li Si said was a little exaggerated, I am afraid it was not out of nowhere. It's just that after he said these words, Fusu, who had the intention to win over the world's scholars, suffered a little unjustified, if Yingzheng really agreed with what Li Si said, I'm afraid Yingzheng's attitude towards Fusu would change.

Thinking of this, Meng Tian originally had some appreciation for Chun Yuyue, but at this time, the eyes that looked at him could almost erupt flames, a thousand days of strategy, I never thought that it would be bad in the hands of this person today, which made Meng Tian how could he not be indignant.
