"Thank you for your advice, otherwise how could Heifu know so many allusions to the dynasty."

After the discussion of the Qi Nian Palace, out of the main hall, Heifu caught up with Nesteng and thanked him.

Neston looked at his son-in-law, touched his beard and said, "It's your own idea, I'm just making up for it." ”

Having said that, Heifu knew that if he didn't communicate with Nei Shi Teng, he would be able to get a score of 70 at most on the answer sheet he handed in, and Ye Teng taught him some wording and allusions to the dynasty, which was much more convincing, at least 90 points.

He said secretly: "What I meant at the time was that the old man could make suggestions as an internal historian, and as an internal historian, it was logical to put forward a proposal to consolidate Kansai." But he asked me to find an opportunity to speak for myself, is this paving the way for me......"

Nei Shi Teng knew that he was a Korean, but he threw himself into Qin to destroy Han, and was hated by the Koreans, and the only thing to rely on in the court was the emperor's trust, once this dependence was gone, the fate of the Ye family would probably be very miserable.

He has no son, only one daughter, and although there are several nephews in the clan, they are all talentless, so that Heifu, the son-in-law of the "half son", has become the only hope for the family's future.

It was precisely because of Heifu's rising potential that Ye Teng did not hesitate to accept this marriage, he had a political foundation accumulated in Nanjun for many years, and Heifu had an unlimited future, and the two sides hit it off.

Now, he feels more and more that he made the right decision. Heifu once proposed to set up Yuzhang County south of Peng Lize and build Nanchang City in order to "Changda Southern Xinjiang", which is only a county policy. But during the westward journey, Heifu found Nesteng and proposed the idea of "consolidating the foundation", which can be called a strategy for seeking the country!

However, Qin Shi Huang was still in the old habit and did not agree on the spot, but asked the ministers to express their views after coming down, and also issued an edict to return to Xianyang, so that the prime minister, the imperial historian, and the court commander also participated in the discussion.

After all, it is a national policy, and once it is determined, it will have a great impact.

So Heifu was a little unsure, and after returning to his residence, he visited Ye Teng again, sat opposite him, and asked, "Do you think Your Majesty will agree to this policy?" ”

Ye Teng said: "You say that Your Majesty likes to be anxious, and what you say is right to the point, Your Majesty will not be disgusted." ”

"As for whether or not he will agree, His Majesty will generally consider two things, one is His Majesty's desire, once he decides on something, he will do it until it is done. The second is the opinion of the ministers of the DPRK and China. ”

Next, Ye Teng showed the interests and disadvantages of his old politicians, and helped Heifu analyze them one by one, which ministers in the DPRK and China would support this policy.

"The people who support this policy the most are the old Qin clans such as Meng, Xi, and Bai."

For these local forces, the emperor's national policy focus has deviated from Kansai for a long time. Even if they annexed the Six Nations, but after fighting the Six Nations, they had to transfer their own children to the distant and hot south, they felt incomprehensible, but they did not dare to resist, so they could only reluctantly go on the road.

But now, Heifu, the first general to "conquer the south of the Yangtze River", has rebelled away from the southward faction, which was not supported by many people, and instead advocated westward expansion, first consolidating Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun, and then going out of the Great Wall to open up the land of Ronghu.

For the Qin people in Kansai, these places are just like the doorstep, and they can get used to the customs and customs, which is much better than going to Jiangnan. Moreover, once the westward expansion was set as a national policy, the children also had the opportunity to use the familiar chariot and bow horse to make meritorious contributions.

Therefore, when he was in the palace, the three elders of Meng Xibai desperately seconded the proposal, and the eyes of the black man became extremely kind, and the patriarch of the Meng clan even inquired if he was married, and he left after hearing that he married the daughter of the internal history.

Whenever there is an army on the border, good generals must be sought, and the second group of ministers who may support Heifu are border generals.

Ye Teng said: "Li Xin, the lieutenant of Longxi County, heard that since the first time he lost his teacher and humiliated the country, he has been depressed, and he is in his thirties, but his hair is all white. Although he made military exploits in the destruction of Yan and Qi, he had lost his mind and was driven to Longxi to defend the border, he was probably the most supportive of the use of troops against Hexi! ”

"There is also Meng Tian, who has stayed in Shangjun for three years, when the dynasty was destroyed, he led Shangjun Zhai to ride to Yanmen, and confronted the Xiongnu who supported the country, and you and Zijin returned to Nanjun during the period, he also wrote a proposal to prepare for the border in Shangjun and compete with the Xiongnu for Henan."

"If nothing else, these two people will go to the court to second."

The head of the black man, Li Xin is just that, Meng Tian's words, in the history of the Northern Qin Expedition against the Huns, he was the main general, but at present, Qin Shi Huang is not very interested in the use of troops in the north, Meng Tian is in the position of a young eunuch in the Shaofu, responsible for a time of weights and measures and other things.

Heifu smiled: "Will the woman also be supportive?" ”

"It's nature."

Ye Teng said as a matter of course: "If the old man is the southern guard, he will definitely support the southward march, the south of the Yangtze River, and the hundred Yue." But the old man is now an internal history, and the south has nothing to do with me, but to consolidate Guanzhong, open up the borders of the three counties, raise food, and recruit soldiers, I have a lot more use! ”

From the internal history to the Jiuqing, and even a glimpse of the imperial history and the position of the prime minister, it will depend on the next few years!

Heifu knows that the old man is really a person who puts interests first......

However, he was still a little worried, and he stopped talking.

Ye Teng saw Heifu's thoughts, and laughed at himself: "If I deliberately raise an objection to avoid suspicion, but it is too deliberate, Your Majesty can see it at a glance." Who in the DPRK and China doesn't know about the relationship between you and me? It's better to be upright, what is done is a conspiracy, and what is sought is the great benefit of the country, who can say that it is not? ”

In any case, it is obvious that there are many ministers in the DPRK and China who support westward expansion, and judging from public opinion alone, this matter has been stabilized.

At this time, Ye Teng said: "But don't be happy too early, I know one person, and I will oppose this matter!" At least will oppose the conquest of Hexi. ”

"Who?" Hefu asked.

Ye Teng smiled and sold a pass: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, who do you think?" ”

Heifu suddenly said in a low voice: "The woman is referring to ...... Wu Shi Liu? ”

……

"Wu Shi said, Qin, Zhuqiang, and Yueshi have always been harmonious, why bother to cut them down for no reason? Every year, silk is exchanged for cattle and horses, and the Central Plains is ......"

Ten days later, in the Qi Nian Palace, putting down the music in his hand, Qin Shi Huang shook his head and commented: "Sure enough, no matter how big a businessman is, he is still a businessman, and he only has a small profit in front of him, and Wu's family is not as good as Tao Zhu!" ”

He turned to look at Zhao Gao, who was in front of the case to draft the edict for himself, and for ten days, he did not express any opinion on the proposal of the Qi Nian Palace.

"Zhao Gao, what do you think?"

Zhao Gao said with a smile: "The minister does not dare to overstep his duties and talk about political affairs. ”

The emperor lowered his face: "Heifu is a young man, with my permission, he can also give advice, why can't you?" ”

Zhao Gao hurriedly asked the emperor to atone for his sins, and then said: "The minister thinks that the words of Shaofu Cheng can be called the old man to seek the country, and it is reasonable and well-founded, it is really not like a young man in his twenties can say it, and then thinking of his background, the minister is even more surprised......

Qin Shi Huang heard Zhao Gao's unfinished words, but he didn't care: "Although Heifu is not good at articles, his foundation is not bad. “

He pointed to the thick hemp paper bound book on the desk and said: "This time I returned to Xianyang, Heifu presented the revised "Southern Expedition Record", which was written for more than 300 days and tens of thousands of words. It is only through this book that I can know the customs and customs of Jiangnan. ”

"Moreover, since the time of the Zun Zun, Heifu has not been running to the collection room of the Imperial History Mansion, and he has also become friends with Zhang Cang, the history of the column. After a year, I can even quote scriptures when I speak. I asked him why he could do this, and he replied, "The last time the feudal county was discussed, His Majesty ordered the ministers to go and turn the books, and the ministers read the matter of the three rebellions of the Marquis of Shu, and they were ashamed of their ignorance, so they could only work hard. ’”

Then Qin Shi Huang pointed at Zhao Gao and said: "Speaking of which, this son's studious and self-motivated heart is a bit like Qing." More than ten years ago, I said that Qing's words are ugly, and Qing practiced calligraphy day and night, not knowing the cold and heat, and became the top three calligraphers in the court! ”

Zhao Gao smiled and said: "I see, in time, Your Majesty may have another doctor." ”

The emperor shook his head: "A man of civil and military all-rounders, wouldn't it be a waste to be a useless doctor?" ”

"Only, Shaofu Cheng has the ambition of being a marquis."

Zhao Gao smiled on his lips and only promised to make a promise, but he was even more jealous of Heifu in his heart.

Yes, like him, he came from a humble background. Like him, he is good at figuring out the emperor's heart. Like him, he is quite self-motivated.

But the difference is that Heifu has solid military exploits, novel ideas, and a strategy that the emperor praises, which Zhao Gao does not have. At what age is it, and he has already pointed fingers at the national policy, and in a few years, will he still have it?

Thinking of the killing intent that Heifu accidentally revealed when he was in Chen Ying, Zhao Gao shuddered.

"If this son really has murderous intentions towards me, when he is in a high position, won't I have to sit back and wait for him to die?"

But in the face of Heifu's proposal, Zhao Gao was frustrated to find that it was really leaky, and the opening of the edge, the quick profit, and the long-term strategy were all things that the emperor cared about, coupled with the politically correct "solid foundation" policy, which made it impossible to correct the mistakes.

So he could only follow the emperor's words, and after praising the black man, he seemed to say unintentionally:

"The minister is just strange, Shaofu Cheng was originally to open up Yuzhang, guard the other Sima in the south of the Yangtze River, build Nanchang City, please set up Yuzhang County, and also proposed to divide the children to go to Shangjiang and Cangwu, obviously supporting the south. But why did he suddenly change his course after getting married and returning to Nanjun, thinking that Guanzhong should be consolidated and the land of Hurong should be expanded to the west first? It's unreasonable......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Gao didn't say anything again, and said: "It's the ministers who are too careful, and I hope Your Majesty won't blame you!" ”

Although it is only lightly clicked, it is enough, of course this will not be fatal, and it will not even affect this decision, but it can plant a little seed of doubt in His Majesty's heart: Heifu is also selfish, and he is not completely loyal to the country!

Be patient, spend a few years and ten years, slowly water and germinate the seeds, and eventually grow into a fierce vine that can hang people to death!

I think that back then, he relied on this invisible means of killing people to make several heroes of the change of the Qi Nian Palace deviate from His Majesty, and finally under the trigger of different reasons, they committed treason one after another! Afterwards, His Majesty will only feel that his intentional or unintentional reminder is a manifestation of clear recognition of treachery.

Qin Shi Huang glanced at Zhao Gao and pondered for a moment, but did not mention the matter again, and it was not until Zhao Gao was about to retire that the emperor issued an edict.

"The day after tomorrow, the royal driver will set off, out of Longguan, into Longxi County, since he wants to leave the realm of internal history, and Neishi Teng is old, he doesn't have to drive with him, let him go back to Xianyang!"
