At the beginning of December, Xianyang City was already very cold, and the distant war did not seem to affect it, and the palace was still full of singing and singing.

It's just that in the Prime Minister's Office, the two ministers appointed by the emperor himself sat opposite each other, worried.

Feng Quji had just returned to Xianyang with the heads of the two puppet kings of Han and Wei, but he was unable to see the second emperor in person, and it is said that the emperor fed the two heads to the tigers and leopards raised, and asked Lang Zhongling Zhao Gao to pass on the word:

"When will the head of the traitor Heifu be delivered?"

The second was annoyed that Heifu had hit Hanzhong, but Wang and Feng had no results, so they didn't see Feng Quji, so Feng Quji had to turn to Li Si and ask him to transfer the recital on his behalf......

"Abandon the soil of Yan, Zhao, Wei, Qi and Chu, and only guard the hometown of King Zhaoxiang Shi Qin?"

Right Prime Minister Li Si raised his head after reading the recital: "Feng Jun, this is your suggestion?" ”

Zuo Prime Minister Feng went to the hurry and said: "Tonggu, I am in Wancheng as the overseer, responsible for the transfer of grain and soldiers in the rear, Tongwu Marquis went to Jianghan to defeat Heifu, and Shandong took the opportunity to become chaotic, the relics of the six countries stood together, rebelled against Qin, and put himself as the king of the Hou do not know how many, the east of the Liang has been lost, and Hebei is also in chaos, and the black rebel took the opportunity to send troops to attack Yingchuan and burn my grain. ”

"But even so, because it was the Marquis of Tongwu who was in charge of the army, the generals in the army were full of confidence, and they defeated Han Xin in Danshui, and beheaded the two pseudo-queens of Han and Wei in a row.

"But on the way back to Xianyang, I heard the opinions of many ignorant Qiantou, who saw that Kanto lost a county today and another tomorrow, and thought that Great Qin was about to be defeated."

Li Si sighed, yes, yes, because he violated the promise he made when he first succeeded to the throne, the more he was enriched, the more he was punished, the government was now very unpopular, and the people were pessimistic about the war, so the second emperor strictly forbade anyone to talk about the war, and the violators were punished for defamation, and the punishment was becoming more and more serious......

But the Qian's mouths were closed, but in their hearts they felt more and more that the front line was afraid of defeat again.

Feng Qu hurriedly said: "But in my opinion, in the current situation, Qin can neither win quickly nor fall, but is about to enter a protracted battle, all in all, Qin has not attacked enough, but there are more rules." ”

"The reason why the Qin army has been losing ground before is because the Qin army is scattered in various counties, and it is the responsibility to defend the territory, but it is trapped in the mansion and difficult to save itself in the face of a group of thieves. Instead of letting the county fall into a group of thieves to surround and break through, it is better to give up the difficult place to defend and let the county soldiers retreat to the west of Taihang and Chenggao. ”

"With the soldiers of Hebei guarding the wells, and the soldiers of the Central Plains guarding Chenggao, the situation in Hebei and the Central Plains is slightly eased. The Marquis of Tongwu can concentrate his forces, block the black rebellion in Nanyang and Hanzhong, and even restore Bashu, and then plug the dangerous places, according to the western soil to defend himself, in this way, he can ensure the stability of the society. ”

Li Si groaned and broke: "Is this your proposal, or is it the proposal of Tongwu Hou?" ”

Feng Qu hurriedly said: "Although there is no signature of the Marquis of Tongwu, and he has never confided in it, but looking at its arrangement, he has already planned to do so." ”

"In my opinion, Guanzhong Bashu is rich and the south is poor, the north has many hukou and the south is vast and sparsely populated, as long as it drags on, the internal government is repaired and the external is connected, and the six countries that are separated and restored will be able to be unified again!"

Li Si bowed his head: "You are Lao Cheng's words to seek the country, after the autumn war, after the rebellion of Bashu, people with a discerning eye know that it is impossible to quell the rebellion in a short time, but it is ......"

He closed the music and said earnestly: "It's okay for us to say this in private, but we must not write a document to serve Your Majesty, as a member of the imperial court, I am afraid that I will be attacked by the imperial historians as 'honoring the enemy to fear the public', and even considered to be a collaborator!" ”

"You see Wang Ben is smart, he only does, doesn't say."

Feng Qu laughed and said, "But someone has to tell the truth." ”

"You don't know."

Li Si began to tell Feng Quji about the situation in the capital in the past six months.

"At the beginning of His Majesty's succession to the throne, he arrested a group of black parties, either Heifu's old department in Beidi County, or his relatives and friends, so Beidi County Lieutenant Zhang Han absconded, and Shi Zhang Cang under the pillar is nowhere to be found, and there are rumors recently that Heifu's eldest son is also hiding in Guanxi, which must be someone hiding in secret! His Majesty was furious, believing that the ministers were not responsible for their ineffective supervision, so he dismissed the court lieutenant. ”

"After the rebellion of Shu County, His Majesty was even more suspicious, last month, I was shocked to hear that the black thieves entered Hanzhong and attacked Xicheng, and I was even more shocked, feeling that the county guards and county orders in various places were also unreliable, and their wishes were not satisfied, and they were afraid of change, so they began to replace the chiefs, so that his sons and cronies were in high positions."

"There are also big moves in Xianyang, first putting Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers back in prison, and then putting Qun Gongzi under house arrest at home, not allowed to move around at will, inciting the people to denounce each other, hoping to find out the secret thieves. As for those who have expounded on the unfavorable situation of the war, they have been angered by His Majesty and have been imprisoned......"

So the ministers and the people were all in danger, and no one dared to admonish them, but a few prison officials took the opportunity to offer their words, saying that they had the means to sweep away the thieves and the six kingdoms in a few months, and they were appreciated. Now he has been appointed as a lieutenant, with the training of Guanzhong good shooters and Lishan prisoners, and he will go to Hanzhong in the beginning of spring and go to Bashu to recover the lost territory. ”

Feng Quji's son Feng Zheng was trapped in Ba County, but he also knew that the recovery was not in a hurry, and the most important thing now was to stabilize the battle line and let the insiders settle down, and he was shocked when he heard this:

"The situation between the DPRK and China has come to this, why doesn't Tonggu, as the head of a hundred officials, dissuade Your Majesty?"

Li Si was also helpless: "I wanted to ask for advice, but I didn't see Your Majesty." ”

"Since the funeral of the first emperor, Your Majesty has not sat in the court to see the ministers, but only lived in the forbidden middle, or went to the Ganquan Palace to make a corner to the view of the excellent haiku. And make Zhao Gao the commander of Langzhong, and often serve in the middle of things, even if the prime minister and the imperial doctor have something, they must see Zhao Gao first. ”

Feng Qu was shocked: "Zhao Gao is a slut, and he is so powerful?" Didn't he do this to separate His Majesty from his ministers, so that he could use his power from them? ”

He pondered: "Tonggu, this Zhao Gao is ignorant of reason, insatiable greed, more than profit-seeking, the second master, endless desires, in the long run, I am afraid that it will become a catastrophe, and I must guard against it." ”

Li Si shook his head and said: "Zhao Gao is His Majesty's teacher, and His Majesty's trust in him is far better than that of you and me, and this matter can only be delayed." ”

He returned the song to Feng Quji:

"Now that the black thief has entered Hanzhong, it is only across the mountains from Xianyang, and the beacon is just away, Your Majesty is shocked, at this time, whoever proposes to abandon the land, in his eyes, is a traitor, and he is connected with the black man."

"In this way, you take back this letter first, and after some time, the situation on the front line is a little better, and I will enter the Hajj with you before it is too late......"

After Feng Qujian said goodbye, Li Si sent him out, although it was a cold day, but he saw that outside Li Si's mansion, the people queuing up to meet him were lined up again, rubbing their hands and stomping their feet, and when they saw Li Si coming out, they bowed down one after another.

Back then, Li Si was once demoted because he bribed the chamberlain to inquire about Qin Shi Huang's words, and the situation of being snubbed in the court seems to be gone forever......

Li Si ignored it, only said goodbye to Feng Qu, and returned to the mansion - the people who asked to see outside the door still had to line up and come one by one.

When the door closed, Lees muttered:

"Go to the disease, go to the disease, no wonder the emperor trusted you so much, and once let you be above me. Now it seems that the Feng family is a loyal person, whether it is Feng Wuxue or you, they all seek the country and forget themselves. ”

And he Li Si is different, seeking a life, always before seeking a country!

After eating the very elaborate evening meal, Li Si's second son came and handed him a letter.

"Father, there is a secret report from a doorman in Hanzhong, it is about Feng Zheng!"

……

At this time, Feng Qujian returned to the mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he had to face the questioning of his old wife.

He had no choice but to explain: "General Wang Ben has also sent people to Hanzhong to fight the thieves, and Guanzhong will also send an army of 100,000 into Hanzhong at the beginning of spring, and it will definitely be able to reopen the Micang Road and relieve the siege for the robbery!" ”

Mrs. Feng was still crying, worried about her son's fate: "If he doesn't know how to fight, don't fight, the last time he attacked the Huns, why did he always let people surround him?" ”

It was easy to appease the old wife and let her drink some porridge, and the eldest daughter also came home crying.

Feng Quji's eldest daughter, who is married to Gongzi Gao, came home to complain, saying that Gongzi Gao was firmly monitored and it was difficult to go out.

"Isn't it a brother? Why did His Majesty guard him like a thief? ”

"It is precisely because he is a brother, and Gongzi Gao is the second son of the emperor, the most qualified person to succeed to the throne after Fusu, the first emperor even wanted to make him the prince for a time, so he must guard against it......"

Feng Quji said in his heart that he couldn't control this matter, and he didn't dare to manage it, he only hoped that after the situation eased, the second emperor would let Gongzi Gao go for the sake of his flesh and blood affection and Feng's contributions over the years.

He said so badly, sent his eldest daughter back, and when he saw the moon on the top, he asked people to hold the lamp, and wanted to stay up all night to revise the music, but there was a violent knock on the door outside!

The head of the house hurriedly came to report: "Lord, the palace has sent someone here, please meet the lord......"

Feng Quji was surprised: "Could it be that Your Majesty has changed his mind and wants to summon me overnight?" ”

He hurriedly put on his official uniform, put on a seal ribbon, and hurriedly went out, but saw that the door was full of bright torches, and the Langwei warriors were in black armor, surrounding the Feng Mansion.

It doesn't seem that simple......

Zhao Gao's younger brother, Zhonglang stepped forward with Zhao Cheng's sword and bowed his hand towards Feng:

"Feng Xiang, I just got the news, the son of Jun, the general Feng Zheng surrendered to the black thief with 20,000 subordinates, and sent a slander to His Majesty, Your Majesty is furious! Today, Feng is afraid that he is suspected of being black, so please Feng Xiang and go with us! ”
