Chapter 725: The World is a Shackle
"Pity the king?"
After Gongzi Gao left, Qin Shi Huang pondered these four words, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
The king should be lonely and proud, what is the pity of the king? This is disrespectful, in this world, the last person who needs people's pity and sympathy is the monarch!
Qin Shi Huang always remembered that his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Huayang, had told him a word.
"The blood of the royal family is cold, and the words spoken are false, and the deeds are not blasphemed, nor the words are insulted. Don't have compassion on yourself, look at the world! ”
Empress Dowager Huayang said that these were the words left by Qin Zhaoxiang, the great-grandfather of Qin Shi Huang, who laid the foundation for the unification of Great Qin.
Although Qin Shi Huang felt that he was much greater than King Zhao, he also recognized this sentence.
"Yes, as a member of the royal family, my son, he should look at the world, how can he be confined to the happiness of ordinary people's children?"
However, Qin Shi Huang thought that after Fusu, Gongzi Gao, who was the most suitable heir, evaded this responsibility.
"Gao, did you take this glory as a shackle?"
Many years ago, when Qin Shi Huang and Han Fei were talking about Shen Bu Harm's knowledge, Han Fei said a word about Shen Zi.
"The fate is said to be shackled by the world!"
In someone's words, "If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight!" ”
The world, this is the golden shackles pressed on the Son of Heaven, it seems to be rich and glorious, but in fact, once you wear it, you will have to rest until death!
Then, pass on this heavy shackle to the next generation.
Looking at it this way, it really looks like a family curse, with blessings and misfortunes depending on each other.
The only way to get rid of it is that the sons of heaven such as Xia Shang Zhou were changed by other families and took away the golden shackles from their bodies.
Qin Shi Huang has always carried the world in his arms, although he only regarded it as his own personal belonging, forgetting to make up the world's vast sentient beings.
Thinking about it this way, Qin Shi Huang could also guess Gongzi Gao's thoughts, but he only felt ......
"Great foolishness!"
He scolded bitterly: "I don't want to take on responsibilities, I want to be a happy son? I am still here, you will be given food when you enter, and you will take advantage of the public opinion when you go out. The clothes of the palace can be given, and the BMW of the stable can be ridden. How do you think this came about? There is no power, no fiefdom, I am afraid that when the time comes, I will taste the difficulties of life! ”
Maybe one day, someone will put a sword to the neck.
If you don't have the power in your hands, can you sleep peacefully?
I can't even see this clearly, Gongzi Gao is indeed not qualified to take over this "shackle"!
"If Fusu has never rebelled......"
To this day, Qin Shi Huang also has a trace of regret, regretting that the eldest son who had been cultivated for more than ten years was delayed and finally destroyed, so he had to hastily pull out the tallest one from the remaining ten or so sons, and pick one that was okay.
Only when you lose it can you know how precious it is.
But Qin Shi Huang knew that his time was running out, and the ghost uncle was urging him to make a decision quickly.
……
The next day, after summoning the princes, Qin Shi Huang asked Zongzheng to come to see him, and asked him to send someone to check what the princes have been doing recently?
Zong Zheng made it clear one by one that the son-in-law Jiang Lu, who married the Korean princess of Jizi, was having a party with his two younger brothers, and he was happy, and the rest of the sons were either going out to play in the ice, or they were not going out, or they were preparing for the big big man in spring.
Although there is no separation, they are all emperors, and they have their own money every month, and they have a good life.
In the end, it was the turn of the twenty-year-old young son Hu Hai, but he learned that he had been going to the Xingshen Temple in the west of the city for the past few days......
"Walking gods?" Qin Shi Huang thought of something.
The so-called walking god, also known as the road god, is one of the "five rituals", in the Central Plains ceremony, he is the main god in December, mainly to pray for a smooth trip.
I heard that Hu Hai also threw a sacrificial text in the Xingshen Temple, Qin Shi Huang was thoughtful and asked people to secretly bring the sacrificial text.
Zongzheng was very fast, and after the prayer was delivered, as soon as it was opened, Qin Shi Huang rarely showed a smile.
Hu Hai was indeed praying to the gods for Qin Shi Huang's southern tour, hoping that his father's trip would be smooth.
Turning the second page, Qin Shi Huang stood up suddenly.
But I saw that it was written in blood: "Hu Hai is willing to lose 20 years of life and increase the life of his father for 20 years!" So that the father can see the Queen Mother of the West, to immortality, eternal rule of Daqin! ”
"That's why I'm still filial......"
Qin Shi Huang has always loved Hu Hai, but after being hurt by Fusu and Gongzigao, he felt a trace of warmth that he had not seen for a long time at this time.
Turning the last page of the prayer, his eyebrows raised even more.
"If not, Hu Hai is willing to follow his father's business! Show the power of your father! Bound by the shackles of the world, Qin will last forever! ”
After a long time, Qin Shi Huang closed the prayer and sighed:
"Hu Hai, he's grown up too."
……
Qin Shi Huang didn't know that the reason why Hu Hai suddenly "grew up" was because of a conversation between Hu Hai and Zhao Gao a few days ago.
Hu Hai is twenty years old this year, with a soft beard growing on his chin, and his appearance is the most similar to that of all the brothers when the first emperor was young. It's just that he doesn't have the solemnity and seriousness of his father, but sits cross-legged on the couch with his feet crossed.
For him, the laws of etiquette are all illusory, and the most important thing is to be comfortable.
There was still a trace of doubt in Hu Hai's eyes.
"Master, is what you taught me to do really good? To be the heir and succeed to the throne is not my original intention......"
Zhao Gao hung his disabled left hand and sat opposite Hu Hai, smiling.
"The old servant has taught Childe for five years, so he naturally knows what Childe's original intention is."
He recited Hu Hai's original words at the banquet two years ago.
"Childe said bluntly to His Majesty that life in the world is like riding a six-horse express car through a gap, fleeting. Childe doesn't ask for anything, he hopes to be able to exhaust the preferences of his ears and eyes when he is alive, enjoy all his desires, and wait until the day when his life is exhausted! ”
That's right, Hu Hai's dream is to be a waste who eats and waits for death!
"Yes, yes."
Hu Hai smiled and clapped his palm: "It's still the master who understands me, so Hu Hai doesn't want to be an emperor." ”
He shook his head and said: "Father likes Han Feizi, and the master asked me to read more, and I saw a saying from above." ”
Han Fei said that Yao ruled the world, the palace was only three feet high, the beams were uncut oak rafters, and the roof was unmowed thatch, even the reverse brigade in the countryside was stronger than this. He wore linen and brown clothes, brown rice for cooking, wild herbs and leaves soup, ate in earthen pots, and drank water in earthen bowls. ”
"And Xia Yu is not much better, in order to control the water, he is so thin that there is no meat on his thighs, his calves have been soaked in water for a long time, his hair falls off, his hands and feet are full of thick calluses, his face is dark, and finally he died of exhaustion and was buried in Huiji, where is this Son of Heaven, he is clearly a prisoner and a minister."
Hu Hai, who was enjoying himself happily, refused with a full face: "Being the Son of Heaven is such a hard thing, so I don't want to do it." ”
Zhao Gao laughed: "Childe, son, don't listen to Han Fei's lies, it was in ancient times, things are easy to change, and it is not necessary to be the son of heaven for a long time." ”
"Don't you see that Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, every time you break the princes, write and put their palace rooms, build them in Xianyang Beihan, Shanglin Nanyuan, the entire Guanzhong, the palace house and the Zhou Pavilion belong to each other, and the princes, beauties, bells and drums are all filled into it, what a luxury and wealth? Eating leopard fetus, drinking fine wine, chopsticks are elephant chopsticks, cups are rhino jade, and even lychees can be transported from Lingnan to taste, and there are countless rare things, Zheng Wei is a good woman, sent from all around, it can really be said that the whole world is dedicated to one person......"
Hu Hai looked envious, but he also had his own opinions:
"So what? Although the father and the emperor will fill the entire Guanzhong palace, but they are all waiting for the Queen Mother of the West who does not know when she will come, and she has no leisure to enjoy, those beauties in the Six Nations Palace, the longest, have not seen their father for more than ten years, and as for the delicious food, the father and the emperor have also tasted it. ”
Hu Hai sighed and said: "Compared with them, my father is more interested in the case, and he reviews it until late at night every day, and after years and months, until he coughs up blood and faints, this is really a shackle to the world, I don't want this heavy shackle to also press on me and crush me to death!" ”
Gongzi Gao wants to avoid the danger brought by the throne, and what Hu Hai wants to avoid is responsibility.
Zhao Gao shook his head and said, "Why do you have to support this shackle alone?" That is Your Majesty is too conscientious, taking the affairs of the whole world in his hands, if the prince follows him, there is no need to do this, don't you hear of 'vertical arch and rule'? ”
Hu Hai came to be interested: "Vertical arch and rule? ”
Zhao Gao said: "However, if we are unified today, the four seas are peaceful, where will there be a matter of life and death like in the past, and survival is critical?" Most of them are locust plagues somewhere, big floods somewhere, and petty thieves somewhere. ”
"These things do not have to be handled by the Son of Heaven himself, so that the ministers perform their duties, the emperor only nods and shakes his head, and stamps the seal. In this way, the shackles are supported by the help of the ministers, the Son of Heaven hangs his clothes, and the world is governed, and he can enjoy his pleasure, the world is big, you can indulge in wandering, the treasure of Kyushu, and a word can be delivered to your eyes. The good women and beauties of all counties and counties can enjoy their beautiful timbre...... Giving ambition and enjoying the world for a long time and harmless, this is what a son should do. ”
Hu Hai still had a trace of hesitation, he was not stupid, he knew that once this step was taken, there would be no turning back!
And once it fails, I am afraid that the end will be worse than Fusu.
Seeing this, Zhao Gao decided to throw his killer weapon and forced Hu Hai to the edge of the cliff.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Does Childe know Chang'anjun?" ”
……
"The younger brother of the father, the father of the child, Chang'an Jun Chengji, I naturally know him."
When Hu Hai was born, Chang'an Jun Chengji had betrayed Qin Benzhao, but his relationship with Ziying was not bad, and he had heard about this unlucky uncle.
Zhao Gao shook his head: "I'm not talking about Qin's Chang'anjun, but Zhao's Chang'anjun, the youngest son of King Zhao Hui and Empress Zhao Wei......"
He said eloquently:
"Zhao Changanjun's name is Mingyue."
"He is the pearl of the Empress Dowager Zhao's palm, extremely favored, sealed with a place of anointing, and given a lot of heavy weapons. But sixty years ago, Qin attacked Zhao, Zhao asked Qi for help, and the king of Qi demanded that Chang'an Jun be the hostage! Zhao Weihou was initially reluctant. Accept the advice of the dragon, send someone to send Chang'an Jun into Qi, the Qi army is out, and the Qin army is retreating......"
"That's it."
Hu Hai remembered that Zhao Gao had said that he was not stupid by nature, so he picked up Zhao Gao's words and said: "Touching the dragon said to Zhao Wei at that time, the descendants of the king of Zhao, and even the sons and grandsons of the princes, can be rich and noble for three generations, almost nothing, those who are near will be harmful, and those who are far away and their descendants." Why? It is not that the sons of the lord of men will not be good, but because they are honorable but have no merit, and they have no work in their deeds, and they have many heavy weapons......"
"Therefore, the son of the master, the relatives of flesh and blood, cannot rely on the respect of no merit and no hard work, and keep the weight of gold and jade for a long time......"
Hu Hai's voice became smaller and smaller, and he somewhat understood what Zhao Gao meant.
Those sons and grandsons of the Zhao State and the princes, once they lost the protection of their parents, they lost their sources of wealth, and could only live on their fiefs, and even their fiefs would be deprived, and after a few generations, they would become commoners who farmed the land.
What's more, Qin has no merit and no affiliation, and he is not divided, the emperor is rich in the world, and the sons are horsemen. Once the mountain collapses, Hu Hai himself doesn't even have a size fief, how can he live happily in the future?
He has no skills, he can only slowly sell his wealth, lend money to make a living, if he squanders it tightly, in the end, I am afraid that it will fall into the days when Yao and Yu are not even as good as gatekeepers and subordinate concubines!
Hu Hai shuddered and touched the priceless jade he was wearing on his waist, which was the best Khotanese Kunlun jade selected by Qin Shi Huang and given to him.
Once my father is gone, will I lose all this?
"Master, I ......"
"Childe understood?" Zhao Gao took another step closer.
"Understood, but ......"
Hu Hai is still a little reluctant:
"If I mix qualifications like Fusu, supervising the army or something, I can contribute a little to the country......"
"If you contribute to the country, will you be able to maintain your wealth for a long time?"
Zhao Gao interrupted him and sneered: "Childe, do you know, that Zhao Chang'anjun Zhao Mingyue, what happened to him?" ”
"Huh? Below? It's gone!? ”
Hu Hai was a little stunned, and Touching Long said that the story of the Empress Dowager Zhao came to an abrupt end when Chang'an Jun entered the Qi Kingdom, and there was no follow-up.
"Let the old servant tell Childe."
Zhao Gao sighed: "Chang'an Jun has merit, after returning to China, Zhao Wei died within a few years, but ...... in July of the year"
His brother Zhao Xiaocheng was so jealous of Chang'an Jun that he poisoned people and killed him. After the death of Chang'an Jun, his fief was seized, and the sons became commoners, and some died at a young age, and there were those who were farmers and those who did business, and those who were exiled to other countries, and those who were hidden officials and lowly people for generations! ”
Zhao Gao gritted his teeth when he said: "Dare to ask Gongzi, Chang'an Jun obviously made great contributions to the country, but was killed by his brother, how can he avoid this tragic situation?" ”
Hu Hai subconsciously replied: "He has to be the king himself......"
"That's right!"
Zhao Gao clapped his hands and praised: "Chang'an Jun must be the king of Zhao and hold the axe to avoid death!" If he becomes the king of Zhao! Everything is different! ”
After a long sigh, Zhao Gao said:
"Back to the present, now that Fusu is running, if the prince does not fight for the position of heir and falls into the hands of the rest of the princes, what will happen? You must know that Your Majesty's favorite is you, Son! ”
Human nature is evil, evil, this is the education that Hu Hai received since he was a child, whether it is Qin Shi Huang or Zhao Gao, they all instilled in him in this way.
Hu Hai's teeth trembled a little: "They will be like King Zhao Xiaocheng who is jealous of Chang'anjun, jealous of me, and even ......"
Master Zhao compares next:
"Yes, it will even kill the child!"
"The emperor can kill whoever he wants, and at that time, it will be either a glass of poisonous wine or a dagger, and the prince will have no way to resist and can only wait to be killed!"
Zhao Gao said hesitantly: "Dare to ask, if the child's longevity stops at the sword and axe, and no one lives, how can he exhaust the preferences of his ears and eyes and enjoy the desires of his heart?" Childe, what should you do? ”
After being washed by Zhao Gao for so long a day, Hu Hai's thoughts had already moved with this night owl, and he clenched his fists and said:
"I can only fight and be the emperor myself!"
"Great goodness!"
Zhao Gao's tone was cold, and he continued to instill his ideas in Hu Hai's ears.
"There is no family affection in the heavenly family, as a prince, there are only winners and losers, the winners get everything, the losers lose everything, let the mermaids and meat, there is no middle way to choose!"
Hu Hai nodded, and then he made a plan with Zhao Gao to go to the temple to offer prayers.
But before Zhao Gao left, Hu Hai suddenly remembered something and asked Zhao Gao:
"I have never heard of Zhao Chang'anjun's ending, Master...... How do you know? ”
Zhao Gao waved at Hu Hai, lowered his eyebrows, and a smile resurfaced on his face, but with a hint of pain.
"Because Zhao Gao is the grandson of Zhao Chang'anjun!"
……
A few days later, because he heard Zhao Gao say that Qin Shi Huang had summoned another prince to the palace the night before, and Hu Hai, who was restless in the mansion, finally waited for Qin Shi Huang's edict.
"The emperor went hunting, so that the eighteenth son Hu Hai followed, in order to raise the army!"
