Xianyang is still the Xianyang in Zhang Cang's memory.

It has been five days since Heifu entered Xianyang, and there is still a shadow of chaos in the northern suburbs of Xianyang, and the sergeants of the Northern Expedition patrolled in teams to put an end to all the small nights that took advantage of the chaos, and there were men from all over the country who were organized to guard the door, and there were small officials shouting around to inform the people of the "news", which was nothing more than three things:

The puppet emperor Hu Hai has been killed by Ziying, his tyranny is completely over, the debts owed by the people in the past have been written off, and the land rent has been halved this year, and no more money will be collected.

The traitor Zhao Gao led the six countries into Hexi, and invited the Xiongnu into Kouyunzhong and Shangjun, promising to cut the northern counties to the Xiongnu, so that he could be the king in Guanzhong, and was willing to call the Xiongnu Shan Yu his father, and Zhao Gao was the "son king", but the people did not need to worry, Wuzhong Hou would soon go to the crusade to clear the enemy in Guanzhong.

Zhang Cang saw it in his eyes and said secretly: "Compared with the Huns and Chu people with hateful faces, the New Qin people from the south immediately became clear-eyed. ”

With a common enemy, the situation in Xianyang will soon stabilize, but ......

Zhang Cang's face was sad: "It's just that after I fled, the more than ten concubines took me to hurriedly divide their entanglements, and I don't know where they were scattered, and it was a little difficult to find them one by one......"

"Forget it, it's really not good, just pay it again!"

As for the third one, the position of the Son of Heaven is vacant, and no one is in charge, so Marquis Wu Zhong followed the affairs of the former Duke of Zhou and acted as the regent, so that before the new monarch succeeded to the throne, he would concentrate the power of Great Qin to deal with the invasion of the northern captives and the southern barbarians......

"Duke Zhou is the regent of his weak monarch, but Heifu is the regent when the throne is vacant...... If you want to emulate, I'm afraid it's not Gongbohe! ”

Thinking so, Zhang Cang followed Ji Ying and walked to the Xianyang Palace on the North Saka, and heard that after the Marquis of Wuzhong entered Xianyang, the women had nothing to do, and the property was not taken, and the palace treasury was sealed, until early this morning, the bell of the Xianyang Palace rang for a long time, and the officials above a thousand stones were summoned to enter to determine the special political system of Daqin for a period of time in the future:

"Regent of Marquis Wuzhong!"

Zhang Cang seemed to be late for the meeting, and failed to catch up with this grand event, but met a lot of civil and military officials who went out in the Xianyang Palace, most of them were the remnants of the first emperor and Hu Hai, led by Zhou Qingchen and Wang Wu.

In particular, Fengchang Zhou Qingchen tended to step forward and affectionately called Zhang Cang as:

"Zi Guan-kun!"

As an intellectual, a person who has no power in his hands, and who has provoked the anger of Qin Shi Huang on the top of Mount Tai, Zhang Cang has been in the Qin court for more than ten years and has never received such courtesy, but he knows why.

"It's not that I know I have an old relationship with Heifu."

Only Yang Hui, the imperial historian who had a good relationship with Zhang Cang in the past, ignored him, and walked out angrily, with several people gathered beside him, and his sleeves were flicked louder than one, it seems that this is the ministers who oppose this matter......

Zhang Cang couldn't help but secretly slander: "These upright and upright ministers, why don't they see the First Emperor speak out when he does something wrong, and how did they survive when Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were in charge?" ”

Zhang Cang could only bite the bullet, resist the flattery of a crowd of people, or go up with white eyes, until he met his elderly senior brother Li Si on the top of His Majesty......

The gray hair is pale, and the old prime minister seems to be a little older.

Zhang Cang hurriedly bowed his head: "Prime Minister ......"

"Zi Gurd."

Li Si's attitude towards him has not changed, he just stroked Zhang Cangzhi's back and sighed: "I also had a regent system in ancient times, and there was a chief regent when I was pregnant with a prince and a son, but I was quite criticized by historians. ”

"Anyway, Li Siya is old, and after Xunmen, I'm afraid it will depend on you to grow up."

He pointed to the main hall of Xianyang Palace in the rear: "Go, Marquis Wuzhong, wait for you in the palace!" ”

……

Zhang Cang climbed the stairs for a long time, and when he walked into the main hall of Xianyang Palace out of breath, he happened to see such a scene:

Heifu was dressed in a prime minister's robe, standing in the empty hall with his hands in his hands, looking at the empty king's couch - and the sword of the Son of Heaven hanging on the king's couch!

"Marquis Wuzhong......"

Although he misses Heifu on weekdays, but now that he sees someone, Zhang Cang is a little hesitant, for fear that the person in front of him is no longer the Heifu he is familiar with.

Power will corrode people's hearts, and Li Si, who was kind and affectionate to his juniors and disciples when he was in Lanling, could also be ruthless enough to poison Han Xin who came out of the same door after entering the Qin court......

Heifu turned around, saw that it was Zhang Cang, couldn't help but be overjoyed, stepped forward with a smile, hugged the big fat man, patted and patted the meat on his back, and said with a smile:

"I thought that Zi Gu had fled for more than a year, and he would always lose weight, it seems that the beef and mutton in Saibei are raising people!"

The father and son like to laugh at him, Zhang Cang then laughed and scolded as in the past: "Meat cheese is a nourishment, and Ruzi has also gained a lot of weight, and when we meet again, I'm afraid I won't recognize him." ”

He raised his head again and looked at the nondescript Son of Heaven Sword hanging on the king's couch: "This is ......"

"Zi Gu was a step too late and failed to see a good show."

Heifu said with a smile: "When Li Si announced that I should follow the example of the regent of Duke Zhou, Yang Yu and others shouted to the sky and grabbed the ground, and almost wanted to hit the pillar with their heads, but unfortunately the strength was not great, and they did not bleed, and they wanted to obstruct this matter, Yang Yu asked face to face, I want to do the usual things?" ”

"Does Heifu want to do it?" Zhang Cang looked at him steadily.

Heifu didn't answer directly, pointed to the gentleman's couch and said: "My uncle Sun Tong and others, they tried their best to encourage me to do things to the end, follow the example of Zhou Gong and Yi Yin, wear the sword of the Son of Heaven, and practice the rule of the Emperor!" ”

The so-called practice is to directly ascend to the main step of the monarch's couch and face the throne of the Son of Heaven.

This is not just a simple regent, but a further regent! It's really just a short distance from piercing the window paper.

"At that time, I took the Son of Heaven Sword in the eyes of everyone and walked up."

Heifu pointed at Jun Yu and smiled: "However, he hung the sword of the Son of Heaven above Jun Yu, and did not sit down, but stood on the side. ”

As he spoke, he walked up, stood still on the right side of the king's couch, and spread his hands: "This is the current position of me, the Marquis of Wuzhong, the regent of Great Qin." ”

"The current situation is that some people who regard me as a chaotic minister and thief want to drag me down from above, force me to kowtow to His Majesty, and return the power to the new monarch surnamed Ying, whether he is virtuous or stupid, and say, 'This is how it can be described as a Qin official'!"

"Some people are desperately pushing me to the top of the ladder, for fear that my status will hinder them from continuing to climb to higher heights."

"But don't think about it, Hefu can stand wherever he wants!"

"You can hold back."

Zhang Cang took a long breath and said: "I once speculated that Yin Xiang Yiyin's original intention is really as the vulgar Confucianism said, temporarily taking the position, and returning when Taijia repents, but after sitting on it for three years, he doesn't want to stand up again." ”

"I won't hide it from you, I really sat on it." For Zhang Cang, Heifu did not hesitate to hide.

In Zhang Cang's dumb gaze, Heifu told him the truth.

"Just before dawn yesterday, when the Xianyang Palace was empty, I secretly came here, standing at the end of the hall, where I stood when I was a Lang official, I looked at the king's couch for a long time, and saw that there was no one left and right, so I quietly touched and sat up......"

"This used to be the position of the First Emperor, do you know what I felt and saw after I sat down?"

Zhang Cang was shocked by Heifu's audacity, and regarded the etiquette as nothing: "What? ”

"It's cold, it's cold to the bone." Until this moment, Heifu couldn't help but shudder.

"Although there is a warm dragon underground, and although the hall is brightly lit, I seem to be able to see how lonely and miserable Qin Shi Huang was when he sat alone on it."

"And when I look at it, the hall is empty, even if there are people standing below, their faces facing the ground, hiding their hearts in Yugui's robes, I can't see their true faces."

"I immediately looked up, wanting to look through the main hall and see this capital, this huge world, but it was blocked by thick walls, and I couldn't see it really either."

"That's when I understood."

Heifu shook his head: "I'm trapped in this cage, wearing shackles, and on this, there's nothing!" ”

"Until I leave this son and go down."

"I have the gates of the palace open to let the first rays of the morning shine in."

"I asked people to open the door of Xianyang Palace, stand on His Majesty, breathe in the cold air of Xianyang, feel the hustle and bustle outside the palace, and feel that I have everything, and then look back at Xianyang Palace, I finally understand ......"

"If you want to be in power, you can have everything, know the pros and cons of the world, and know the people's suffering, then there is only one way!"

"What's the solution?" Zhang Cang asked.

Heifu descended the steps, patted Zhang Cang on the shoulder, and pointed to the huge capital outside the palace:

"From the people."

"To the people!"
