In the middle of the winter of the 37th year of Qin Shi Huang, the edict had arrived in the hands of Heifu, and the emperor's car was about to leave Xianyang......

The CRRC government ordered Zhao Gao to prepare the required cars and horses, unlike in the past, there were only 100 rides, this time, the team was as many as 1,000!

Zhonglang General Wang Li has let thousands of Lang guards be fierce soldiers, and they will form a Chinese army to defend the emperor.

In addition, there are 50,000 lieutenant troops defending Xianyang, they are the most elite troops in the world, all composed of young people in Guanzhong.

Qin Shi Huang directly transferred 20,000 from it, plus 30,000 from the Northern Army that had just been transferred from the Great Wall of the North.

This is a huge battle that has never been seen in the past, the black flag covers the sky, the Xuanjia Yao said, the horses are like dragons, the halberds are like forests, gathered around the Baqiao, as long as the emperor gives an order, he can wave his army to the south!

Who will be their enemy?

There are many speculations, and the answer seems to be peeked out from the personnel changes in the past half a month: the imperial historian Mao Jiao dragged the sick body into the palace to invite Chen and died, and the governor of Beidi County, Zhang Han, was transferred back to Xianyang, and was appointed as Shaofu Shaoqing......

After doing all this, Qin Shi Huang still did not leave.

Everyone knew what the emperor was waiting for.

One is what he never forgets, the West Queen Mother State, and the last hope of immortality.

Second, it is the eldest son Fusu, who ran away in fear because of the unsuccessful assassination last month, and the emperor must know his results......

During the illness of Qin Shi Huang, the center of the imperial court did not dare to make a decision, and Meng Tianfang was bold and reckless, and indulged in the prisoners, which led to the chaos in Guanzhong, and it took half a month for the two armies of Wei Wei and Lieutenant to arrest most of them, and they could not pursue Fusu and failed to stop them in time.

Taking advantage of this gap, Fusu and his henchmen entered the eclipse from Dunan and headed for Hanzhong County.

The so-called eclipse is the shortest distance in the road from Guanzhong to Hanzhong in this era, also known as the "Meridian Road".

It was originally a barren bird road, only a mountain path trampled by wild beasts, but in the time of King Qin Zhao, in order to strengthen the connection between Guanzhong and Bashu, it cost huge financial resources to build a plank road in the eclipse.

On the cliff that was originally impassable, it took more than ten years to complete the construction of the cliff cliff, or the drilling of holes and erection of wood, or the passage of the valley as a road, or the construction of bridges and crossings of the water so that people and horses could cross. After arriving in Hanzhong, it extended the "Shu Road" and "Micang Road" and went straight to Bashu. As Qin Xiang Cai Ze said: "The plank road is thousands of miles, leading to Shu Han, making the world afraid of Qin." ”

This road is extremely narrow, and there are many deep streams and high mountains on the left and right, and the speed is not fast, and once it is overtaken, it is not easy to escape!

After Qin Shi Huang recovered, he ordered Zhonglang to ride Li Liang to take more than 1,000 people into Hanzhong, levy the local government to arrest the Fusu party, and strictly ordered: "If Fusu really runs to Nanjun, the officials along the way will die!" ”

Under this kind of death order, everyone worked hard, set up a net, and pursued all the way.

On the fifteenth day of December, Zhonglang rode Li Liang to finally return to Qin Shi Huang!

"Your Majesty, the minister did not disgrace his mission, chased him to Nanzheng, Hanzhong County, and the general ...... All the Fusu henchmen were captured! ”

"Nan Zheng?"

Qin Shi Huang frowned, Nanzheng, is the capital of Hanzhong County, if Fusu wants to go to the Heifu of Lingnan, out of the eclipse, directly from the Shiquan Pavilion across the Han River, into the Micang Road, why turn west to Nanzheng?

After further questioning, I learned that the so-called Fusu henchmen who were "pursued" by Li Liang had gone to Nanzheng to surrender ten days earlier......

This is even more confusing.

"How's Fusu doing?"

That's all Qin Shi Huang cared about.

Li Liang was a little embarrassed, Qin Shi Huang's face was suddenly not very good-looking, and he couldn't help but think of Lu Buwei, who was also relegated to Shu but committed suicide halfway, Fusu has a strong temperament, will it ......

Thinking so, he slapped it on the desk!

"Speak!"

It doesn't matter if he's alive or dead!

Li Liang was afraid of being blamed by the emperor:

"Your Majesty, Fusu has been separated from his family and subordinates in Shiquan Pavilion half a month ago, and he went east alone, and he is missing!"

……

According to the confession of the arrester, Fusu was knocked out of the city by Meng Tianfang, woke up after the Meridian Valley, bowed to Xianyang and wept tears, and angrily attacked Meng Tianfang. Meng Tian let himself know the depth of his sin, so he apologized for his sin......"

Subsequently, Mrs. Fusu, the daughter and grandson of the Duke of Qi were frightened, and they were drenched in the winter rain along the way, and died in Shiquan Pavilion. Fusu buried his wife, sat in front of the tomb for a night, and in the early morning of the next day, entrusted his two sons to his subordinates, and ordered them to go to Nanzheng to surrender, and then left alone......"

"Say goodbye?"

Qin Shi Huang's mouth was a little sour, and his chest was a little painful.

This is not over, and later there was a change, Dong Gong, a native of Luoyang, and Shao Ping, a native of Du, had a dispute, and Shao Ping thought that he should follow the order of Fusu and could not be wrong. Dong Gong took a few death-fearing guards, captured a little Wang Sun, crossed the Han River and went south, and disappeared into the reckless mountains.

Shao Ping couldn't stop it, so he could only take Fusu's eldest son to Nanzheng to surrender, until ten days ago, Li Liang caught up with them......

"Shao Ping and nearly 100 Sumen guests and guards all committed suicide and died, and the ministers only had time to bring Wang Sun back to Xianyang, he was frightened, a little stunned, and didn't say a word......"

Qin Shi Huang went to see his little grandson, but when he saw that the child's eyes were blank and he didn't answer anything, he saw his father who was barely smiling, but he hid back, his eyes full of fear.

Seeing this, the emperor retracted his smile, pursed his lips, and when he turned around, he seemed to be ten years old.

"When he is a little older, send it to Qiongdu, it is still a food town, and there are four hundred households."

Originally, this was prepared for Fusu.

Let Zongzheng properly settle the prince and grandson, Qin Shi Huang returned to the dormitory, and did not pay attention to anyone all day.

However, Zhao Gao was worried about another thing by the CRRC Mansion, and asked Li Liangdao: "What about the family members of the Marquis of Changnan?" ”

Li Liangyu reported: "The family of the Hou of Changnan is not among them, and it seems that they suddenly broke away from the Fusu party when they left Xianyang. ”

Zhao Gao sneered: "Knowing that everyone is chasing after Su and not taking care of them, he went his way, worthy of being the wife of the black husband, this is really smart!" ”

But it doesn't matter, as long as the emperor goes south, no matter whether Heifu is waiting to be killed or stubbornly resisting, he is completely finished!

Even if the emperor doesn't have time to clean up the black husband, as long as Zhao Gao teaches him, the son Hu Hai, who has great trust in him, can ascend to the throne with the emperor's favor, everything will not be a problem!

Qin Shi Huang had been depressed for a whole day, during which it is said that he fainted again, and the next day, inspired by the ginseng soup, he regained his spirits and asked people to find a map.

The emperor is old, and he is no longer the giant who stands on the map of the four seas returning to one, destroys a country in one step, and waves the waves.

His back is a little hunched, and his eyes are not very good, so he needs the waiter to hold the lamp in his hand, let him stick close, and look carefully on the map.

Qin Shi Huang's finger pointed to the "Shiquan Pavilion" that represents the great misfortune of Fusu's life, from here to the east, there is a road along the Han River, at the end of it, it is divided into two, the fork road to the south, can go to Nanjun, that is the hometown of Changnan Hou, there are many black parties......

"Could it be that Fusu knew that there were many pursuers and it was difficult to escape, so he changed his path alone?"

Qin Shi Huang muttered to himself, but then snorted:

"For the sake of his own life and abandoning his second son, when did Fusu become so ruthless and decisive?"

"Lift it taller."

Qin Shi Huang ordered, and as the light in the hands of the waiter gradually went up, the northern fork of the Han Water Road appeared.

It will reach Nanyang, and then turn north to Wuguan Road.

Wuguan Road in the return level.

It is also the only way to go from Xianyang to Yicheng.

"Is he going to wait there, or will he come back?"

Qin Shi Huang muttered to himself again, and then sneered, denying this idea.

"Coming back like a lost dog? Then kneel down to His Highness, beg me to forgive him, and then live in humiliation for the rest of his life? If so, it's better to die! ”

Qin Shi Huangdi, without such a son, he should have stood on the cusp of the storm and held the sun and the moon tightly, but he was defeated!

And the loser who climbs the top will fall into the abyss forever, and there is no right to start over!

With a bit of anger, as soon as he snatched the lamp and candle, Qin Shi Huang burned this map!

The old emperor turned around, and the map burned little by little behind him, first Guanzhong, then to the south, to the Kanto, and finally to the whole world, all burned by the flames.

The fire behind it reflected the depressed face of Qin Shi Huangdi:

Lamenting its misfortune, but angry at its incompetence!

Although he scolded Fusu for "deserving", Qin Shi Huang ignored the well-prepared patrol troops and waited in Xianyang for another three days, making people pay attention to the news of Wuguan every day.

Three reports a day, morning, noon and evening?

No, it's every hour!

While drinking ginseng soup, he comforted himself arrogantly: "What I am waiting for is not the rebel son Fusu, but the news of Li Xin!" ”

A few days later, Qin Shi Huang arrived......

There is still no news about Fusu, but Li Xin has sent back another good news from the Western Regions!

……

Last year, at the invitation of the Great Xia Kingdom, Qin Shi Huang decided to send troops to the west, and under the guidance of Great Xia, he broke through the branches and opened the road to the "Western Queen Mother State".

Qin Shi Huang issued an order in the spring, Li Xin led an army of 20,000 out of Yumen Pass in the summer, 40,000 prisoners and prisoners, tens of thousands of mules and horses to and from Hexi and the Western Regions to transport grain, so far for more than half a year, the results of the war are remarkable, every return, was recorded in the annals of history by Taishi Ling Hu Wujing.

"In May, Li Xin received 3,000 horses from Qilian Northern Wusun, went out of Yumen, and Tunpu Sea."

In June, Li Xin went to Cheshiguo, and the water of the capital river flowed around the city, so it was called the river. Go to Xianyang for 5,200 miles, have 5,000 mouths, eat wheat, order them to offer grain, and send 1,000 people for conscription. ”

"In July, the letter went to Yanqi State, went to Xianyang for 5,480 miles, its mouth was 30,000, and the victorious soldiers were thousands, and refused to offer grain for Qin, and Li Xin attacked it."

"In August, there is a country named Qiuci (Kuqa County, Xinjiang) in the west of Yanqi, go to Xianyang for 6,000 miles, there are 70,000 or 80,000 people, 10,000 victorious soldiers, at the request of Yanqi, the remnants of the Yueshi in the north of the mountain, the remnants of the Yueshi in the south, the plough in the south, the joint army of 20,000, and Li Xinsheng fought under the North Mountain, Li Xinsheng, the king of Yanqi, the prince of the Yue clan, and the head of the king of Qiuzi ......"

This is the last news received in the thirty-sixth year, Li Xin slaughtered all sides in the Northern Western Regions, all the way to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and in the next two months, completely occupied the entire territory of Qiuci, supported the prince of Qiuci to become the ruler, and used the grain of the largest state in the Northern Western Regions to feed the hungry expeditionary force.

And the news sent back this time said that because of the strength of the Qin army, the Gumo Kingdom west of Qiuci, 6,500 miles away from Xianyang, was willing to surrender to Qin, and open the road and provide food, so that the Qin army could advance westward smoothly.

However, because of the bitter cold in the Western Regions, it was impossible to march in winter, and even encountered a snowstorm, thousands of mules and horses died, and Li Xinhe and the expeditionary force were severely damaged, and they had to rest in a place called "Luntai" east of Qiuzi, and then seek to advance westward after the beginning of spring......

Because it was 2,000 miles away from Yumen, it was difficult for the people to transport food supplies, so Li Xin planned to set up officials in Luntai, start tuntian, pay taxes to the states, and take food on the spot......

"Where the hell are these places?"

Qin Shi Huang asked his attendants to hold the lamp in their hands, and on the newly drawn map of the Western Regions, they found the locations of Pu Zhi, Cheshi, Qiuzi, Gumo, and Beishan one by one.

At the end, he sighed: "I never thought that the Western Regions would be so big......

Wu Shiyan said that there are 36 countries in the Western Regions, with mountains in the north and south, rivers in the center, more than 6,000 li from east to west, and more than 2,000 li from north to south. The east is connected to Qin, the jade gate is ended, and the west is limited to the green ridge.

"Decades ago, the first king Zhaoxiang Wang was Rong Di and built the Great Wall, but the west was not Lintao."

"But now, six thousand miles west of Xianyang, there are also Qin officials......

Pride is pride, but Qin Shi Huang is a little unwilling.

Judging from the returns of Wu Shiyan and Li Xin, those places are indeed very attractive, deserts, snow-capped mountains, oases, different from the Central Plains, high-nosed and deep-eyed human races, strange melons and fruits......

But the distance of thousands of miles made Qin Shi Huang helpless.

"I can't go that far."

He sighed:

"I can only go to Yicheng and take a look at the dog who has been loyal and diligent for me for more than ten years, and see that he barks at me? Or run over and lick my hand. ”

And the other hand hidden behind him is not a bone, but a sharp blade!

But he actually wanted to do more......

Qin Shi Huang stretched out his hand to the vast Western Regions, and to the west of the Western Regions, a new world that was even more vast and unimaginably large!

He really hoped that he could witness with his own eyes that the Great Qin Zheng was iron and walked all over the brand-new rivers and mountains!

"If I could have been ten years earlier...... No, even if it was only five years before I knew about it! ”

It's a pity that the speed at which people measure land is relatively limited, and they are so untimely.

And Li Xin's description of the future march plan also dashed Qin Shi Huang's last hope.

General Li said that within 37 years, he would definitely be able to cross the Green Mountains through Gumo and Shule and reach Daxia!

In the thirty-eighth year, it was necessary to unite with Great Xia and wage war against the Tiaozhi, and strive to defeat the Tiaozhi in the thirty-ninth year, reach the Western Sea, and find the Western Queen Mother......

In this way, it will be about 40 years after Qin Shi Huang will be able to welcome the Queen Mother of the West to Qin.

"Forty years?"

Qin Shi Huang shook his head bitterly, he didn't even have the slightest confidence in whether he could survive thirty-seven years.

"Ancestral Dragon is dead this year!" The prophecy of the deep return, although he did not admit that he was the ancestral dragon, but this sentence was like a sword hanging above his head!

Qin Shi Huang glanced at the candle flame that was empty, and in anger, he burned another map.

This time, the flames soared from Xianyang, in the heart of Guanzhong, and it went all the way to the west, sweeping in the thirty-six kingdoms of the north and south of the Western Regions, turning the Beishan Kingdom into ashes, and even crossing the green mountains, and began to devour the unknown world outside the map......

Gray hair, weak steps, old eyes, looking at the hazy sky.

Although he was unwilling to admit defeat, this time, he no longer had the strength to fight with the sky.

"I really want to live another 500 years!"

……

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, the trip to Yicheng, Qin Shi Huang must go.

"When my father returns from his inspection, the Queen Mother of the West may be waiting for my father in Xianyang!"

On the night before departure, the well-behaved and filial young son Hu Hai comforted Qin Shi Huang so optimistically.

After the Fusu Escape incident, this stupid child may be the last bit of warmth in Qin Shi Huang's heart.

"But, can I ever come back?"

His body knows that Qin Shi Huang has never been so unconfident, and unlike in history, a series of changes seem to have made this proud and stubborn emperor recognize a little reality.

Today's sun will set sooner or later.

And tomorrow's sun must also be prepared, otherwise if there is any chance of this trip, there will be no sun and no moon in this world, will not it fall into endless darkness?

In that case, how can Great Qin be passed on to eternity!

Although he was reluctant, but in the end, Qin Shi Huang still issued an edict: "Let the princes enter the palace tomorrow to meet ......"

"It's been a few years since His Majesty last summoned the princes!"

As the author of the palm print, Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, immediately smelled the unusualness of this edict and immediately refreshed himself.

"Isn't that ...... The prelude to the establishment of the heir? ”

After a long period of patience, I finally waited for the future of Fusu's self-destruction, and Hu Hai, who was difficult to compete with in the past, finally got a chance!

Zhao Gao said secretly: "Although I summoned the princes, in Your Majesty's heart, there will definitely be a predetermined candidate!" Or will be summoned in advance! ”

It's a pity that he is not on duty tonight, so he can only return home and wait anxiously.

But to Zhao Gao's surprise, he secretly reminded Hu Hai to prepare at night, and asked the attendants to stay in Hu Hai's mansion for a night, but he did not see Qin Shi Huang send a messenger to summon Hu Hai.

On the contrary, it was a cronie at the palace gate who quietly asked someone to tell him something.

"CRRC government order, there is a car, enter the palace!"

Zhao Gao's hands and feet were suddenly cold......

"Oops!"

……

At the same time, in front of Xianyang Palace, a four-horse carriage stopped, and a tall prince got out of the car and rushed to the main hall with Lang Wei.

Walking through the dark palace gate, bypassing the double passage sandwiched by the high wall, stepping on the stairs, illuminated by the bright lights on the main hall, revealing his true face.

His face was hesitant and hesitant......

He is not Hu Hai.

It's not Fusu.

His single name is "Gao".

"The second son of Qin Shi Huang, Gongzi Gao!"

……

PS: Five thousand chapters, there is only one more today.

I've always felt that song is more suitable for Qin Shi Huang.
