Chapter 434: Neighbor Fire
As the saying goes, a pregnant woman is stupid for three years, Heifu didn't believe it before, but now he believes it, since giving birth to a baby, his daughter-in-law is really stupid......
She used to be thoughtful, but now she is full of only her son, and even looks at the baby for half an hour, mother and son look at each other and eat and smirk, and often forgets some little things, and even says things to the black husband that she would not say in the past.
For example, today Heifu is about to set off to the north again, and when she tied Heifu's armor with her own hands, she actually babbled and instructed: "Even if the son delays the military rations again, the beloved person should not punish him in front of everyone, just return the truth to His Majesty to decide, and don't follow Sima Suitho's example!" ”
Ye Zijin's so-called "Sima Sui Tho matter" is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Jinggong appointed Sima Sui Tho as a general, and sent his favorite minister Zhuang Jia as a supervisor. Sima Sui Tho and Zhuang Jia agreed: Gather at Yingmen at noon the next day and set off.
As a result, Zhuang Jia drank and didn't arrive until the afternoon of the next day, so he was moved out of the military law by Sima Sui Tho, cut off his head on the spot, and told the three armies, so as to establish his authority, and the soldiers were stunned.
Qi Jinggong was shocked when he heard the news, so he asked the envoy to stop it, but he drove into the camp without authorization, galloped in front of the army, and was said by Sima Sui Tho that he should be beheaded according to the law, and read that the envoy had a king's order, so he only cut the right side of the messenger's car......
"Jing Gong wanted to borrow Sima Sui Tho to retreat from the enemy, although he did not embarrass him in person, but many years later, when Sima Sui Tho was old and useless, Jing Gong retreated from Sui Tho, and Tho died of illness......
In Ye Zijin's view, the eldest son Fusu was sent by the First Emperor to supervise the Northern Army, which seemed to be a trust in Heifu, but in fact it was a trouble.
Qin Shi Huang has been the emperor for more than three years, and Fusu has also been crowned for one year, but he has not been appointed as the crown prince, which releases an unusual signal.
It has not been a day or two since the imperial court speculated about this, or some people felt that the emperor wanted to live forever, so there was no need to establish an heir. Some people also believe that Fusu's mother's family is the royal family of Chu, and his uncle Changping Jun once committed treason and became the king of Chu, and was hated by Qin Shi Huang, and he has lost the possibility of succession. There are also people who are sure that Qin Shi Huang just doesn't like Fusu's character very much, and wants to experience it again, so there are not a few speculators who want to get close to Fusu in order to achieve their own goals.
But Ye Zijin regards this as a thunder pool, the emperor is still strong, and it is really taboo for the border general to make friends with the son. Even if Qin Shi Huang arranged Fusu to go to the north to practice, Heifu should keep an appropriate distance from him, and he should not be too close to him, but he should not offend and resent.
Heifu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Is your beloved so stupid?" ”
"Besides, Sima Sui Tho is doing this for Liwei, I don't have to."
"Didn't the lover just a few days ago in front of the generals and the people, reproach the son for being late, and teach the son the art of war?"
She was even worried that this matter might have annoyed the eldest son, and he might have secretly remembered it in his heart!
Heifu had to comfort his wife: "Although he is somewhat benevolent, he is not the kind of son who is cautious and can't listen to admonitions." ”
Ye Zijin shook his head: "The lover and the eldest son have only met a few times, and they have spoken deeply, so they can be sure what kind of person he is?" ”
When his wife said this, Heifu remembered what happened a few days ago when Fusu and the 15,000 people arrived in Yiqu City......
……
The eldest son came to Yiqu City, and the county guard, the county guard, the county guard, the prison and the imperial history had to set up a banquet to receive it.
Although Fusu is benevolent, after all, he has been educated by his son since he was a child, behaves decently, and speaks without loss, and he also took the initiative to ask Heifu to take him to worship the Xun Temple, Jingbian Temple and the Loyal Soldier Cemetery.
Jingbian Temple and Zhongshi Cemetery are the hand ratio of Heifu, starting from the southern county, to the northern land to complete, and now it has spread all over Guanzhong and border counties. The Xun Temple, which is something that Li Si suggested to make, is only available in Kansai for the time being, which enshrines Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, Bai Qi, Meng Biao and other generals and ministers who have made outstanding contributions to the cause of the unification of Great Qin, but for the time being, only these few people enter the temple, and the merits and demerits of Gan Mao, Wei Ran, Fan Ju and others are still controversial.
This is also the first emperor in order to maintain the balance between Qin and the people of the old six countries, Jingbian Temple restored the reputation of enemy generals like Li Mu, and the Xun Temple was used to take care of the needs of Qin's military nobles. After a hundred years, Wang Jian will definitely be selected, Heifu secretly guessed, Tingwei Li Si must also hope that he can enter the temple after his death.
Heifu once heard that Gongzi Fusu was very appreciated by the Mo family, and he seemed to have absorbed the Mo family's anti-war ideas of frugality, non-attack, and love, as well as Huang Lao's rest with the people. But when worshipping the Jingbian Temple, he put away his personal likes and dislikes, and behaved very officially, with a clear look and no contempt......
Only after the worship was over, Fusu privately told Heifu about something, which was the first in-depth conversation between the two after a skirmish halfway.
Fusu said: "According to General Wei's proposal, my father ordered all the soldiers and horses to set off, and the officials led the soldiers and people to worship the Jingbian Temple, telling the deeds of the five sages of Zhuxia Yurong to open the territory. The Kansai soldiers and Rong Di were mixed up, and they were deeply touched when they heard about Yu Yu and Sima wrong. Wu Wanyan and Zhao Minfu, who will go to Daibei to transport grain, also moved slightly when they heard about Li Mu and Qin Kai. But the 100,000 people from the Central Plains reacted very little, and ninety percent of them had never even heard of the names of these five. ”
This is indeed an embarrassing problem in the Jingbian Temple, which can arouse the people of Yan, Zhao and Qin, who were close to Hu Rong and suffered from plunder, to share the same hatred in this war against the Xiongnu, and to complain less about the imperial court.
But to the ears of the Wei, Han, and Chu people, they all had two questions written on their faces: Who are these five people? Beat the bearded people, what is my business?
"Therefore in the eyes of the people of the three lands, they only think that they are doing hard labor......
Heifu was also helpless about this, at that time he wanted to make up one person from one country, but unfortunately South Korea was located in the Central Plains, and there was no chance to fight with foreign races. Wei has an ancestor, Wei Xianzi, Wei Shu, who once fought the Rong people, but his merits can't be compared with those five people, and ordinary Wei people, how can they know who Wei Shu is?
The same is true of the state of Chu, although Chu has seized a lot of Yue territory in the south, but it is slowly encroaching and there is no one-time merit. At most, Wu Qi, who collected the south and raised the Yue and built the door stopper, was counted. But the court bigwigs thought that Wu Qi was not qualified, he was not even from Chu, and his reputation in Chu was not very good......
So that's all there is to it for now.
Fusuti's question was very acute, and Heifu simply talked about the origin of this war.
"Childe's words, Heifu is clear. The people of the Central Plains do not understand the suffering of the border lands, because the Central Plains and the border areas belonged to two countries in the past, and the neighboring countries were invaded by the Hu people. But it's like a fire next door, and you don't save yourself. If the whole house is burned down, if the hooves of the Hu people and horses have reached the river, it will be the turn of the Central Plains to suffer, and at that time, hundreds of years ago, China was afraid that the situation will be repeated. ”
This is not a conjecture, this is a prophecy!
"Hu Zhe, the great disaster of Zhongxia, Your Majesty is thinking about this, so he decided to eliminate the Huns in one fell swoop, and prevent trouble before it happens, not purely for the sake of opening up the border and showing off his merits."
"Nowadays, the sea is unified, and the people of the world are all the people under the rule of the first emperor, and the laws and decrees are spoken, but all those who have reached the age of seventeen have the responsibility of serving the country. Therefore, this time, His Majesty conscripted 300,000 people to fight the Huns, with 150,000 soldiers in Guanzhong and 150,000 people in Guandong as the people's husbands. What's more, even if they don't go to Biansai, they have to serve in Xianyang. ”
Soldiers had to eat food and concentrate on fighting, but in those days there were no trains and automobiles to transport things, and logistics could only rely on men and animals.
The people will definitely be recruited, if the Qin people in Guanxi are all recruited, their burden is too heavy, and they will definitely feel, doesn't it say that Jingbian is the duty of the whole world? Why did the Qin people fight wars and transport grain, but the Kwantung people only need to do some work in Xianyang to move bricks.
I'm afraid that it was not Kanto that complained at that time, but Kansai!
Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, and the Qin soldiers set foot on the palace of the Six Kingdoms, of course, there will be a conqueror's mentality, which will not disappear in a short time, and the advantages in policy and status will last for a long time.
This is the reality in front of us, and as a ruler, it is not easy to level this bowl of water, and it is even more difficult to truly realize the unity of people's hearts.
This is also the reason why Heifu advocated the use of troops against the Xiongnu, and wanted to achieve national unification, either by resisting foreign humiliation, or by expanding externally to earn war dividends.
"Maybe when this war is over, and the easterners and westerners are all placed in the border Saituntian to defend and face the Saiwai Rongdi together, they will let go of their past grudges and fight side by side with swords...... he said secretly.
"General Wei means that those who have a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but from inequality......"
After listening to Heifu's words, Fusu listened thoughtfully, and finally shook his head: "Fusu has been taught, but I think that the balance created by making the people unstable is not a real balance!" Although the Hu people on the border are a hidden danger, they do not dare to enter the border on a large scale, and let the world rest for ten years before raising the army, and talk about the matter of expanding the border in the west, wouldn't it be more appropriate? ”
Fusu finally said his thoughts, the world is undecided, the head of Qiantou has not been gathered, and the wanton use of troops at this time is actually brewing uneasiness!
This pot black man didn't carry it, he said: "Doesn't the prince hear that the old Qin people in Yongdi have a ballad, 'I'd rather go to the north than to go to the south of the Yangtze River!'" 'With all due respect, if there is no westward expansion, there will be a southern expedition, and what the people of the Central Plains will have to face at that time is not to repair the straight road, nor to put on a woolen coat and regrettably plug it, but to smoke all over the place, and the water Gu is rampant in Lingnan, and the people on the side of the road will be killed, I am afraid that it will be ten times more......"
"The lesser of two evils?"
Fusu suddenly, the decision of the war, in the final analysis, was issued by his father, at this time before last, Qin Shi Huang did have a very strong intention to use troops in Lingnan, and was attracted by Heifu's suggestions to expand to the west before changing his course.
"It's Fusu who said more."
After that, he sighed and retreated, not knowing whether he understood or not......
Just took a few steps, looked back at Zhengse, and said: "Please rest assured, General Wei, after the end of the fortress tomorrow, during the period of supervising the army, Fusu will not have another delay!" ”
Looking back now, Heifu said secretly: "This son looks compassionate and compassionate, treats people kindly, and politically does not like Legalism, but likes Huang Lao, Confucianism, and Mo things, and what is even more exaggerated is that he still cares about the head of Kanto Qian." If it is true, he is really the opposite of the emperor's character, and he does not hide it at all, he is simply a political idiot, no wonder he is not liked by Qin Shi Huang......"
If, as Ye Zijin was worried about, all this was pretended, it would be terrible.
He shook his head, putting the thoughts behind him.
"Didn't Madame say, look at how a person is, you have to look at his words and deeds, what kind of person is the son, after getting out of the jam, you will know!"
Is he a true gentleman, or a hypocrite?
Can Qin Shi Huang become the resolute and ruthless person he expects, or will he adhere to the concept of benevolence and generosity?
The black man will listen to his wife's advice, keep a proper distance from her, and whether he changes or does not change depends on his creation.
While thinking, Heifu hugged his wife and son and kissed each other.
"I'm going to be out of the jam again!"
He looked at his son, who was crying loudly after being poked in pain by his own beard, and smiled.
"Last time, it was my wife who prayed for me to be free from injury and illness with an embroidered bag, and this time, I added the name of my son as a blessing."
Heifu hugged his son tightly again, and said reluctantly:
"You say yes and no? Captain Po! ”
