Chapter 284: The first enthronement of the husband and the cultivation of the tomb
Zhao Gao was overjoyed when he saw Hu Hai like this, as long as he was allowed to eat and drink well, the power would fall into his own hands, even if Li Si would not want to oppose him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At present, the most embarrassing thing is only the imperial doctor of the court, that is Lu Yan's master, when he returned to the house, he was empty and very desolate.
After many inquiries, I learned that Lu Yan had said goodbye without saying goodbye, and the most annoying thing was that he also abducted his baby daughter, but as a royal historian and an important minister, now that the new king has succeeded to the throne, he is embarrassed to resign.
Therefore, Zhang Cang had to stay in the house for the time being, and bought a few house slaves a little, so that his life became a little hopeful, and he really wanted to die alone in Xianyang.
Not long after Li Si returned to the house, many ministers visited one after another, and everyone did not say anything about Hu Hai, but the hearts of the hundred officials were clear that only Zhao Gao and Li Si were in charge of the DPRK now.
However, Li Si had not yet transferred his eldest son back to Xianyang, so Zhao Gao sent an edict to recruit 20,000 conscripts to be responsible for the construction of the imperial tomb.
In the inner room, Li Si looked at the edict in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, "You asked me to gather 20,000 servants, isn't it still you and me who are in chaos in this world, absolutely not." ā
For this matter, Li Si was really worried, hurriedly changed into court clothes, and rushed to the Wangyi Palace, where Zhao Gao was serving Hu Hai, and on the other hand, he was also his teacher.
Seeing Li Si coming, he couldn't help frowning, in Zhao Gao's opinion, although Li Si has the right, it is only the right to execute, just do the orders issued above, and the rest of the things don't need to be asked.
However, Zhao Gao is now the deputy prime minister, even if he thinks like this in his heart, he still has to step forward with a smile on his face, "Xiangguo, what is the so-called matter, come to meet the king?" ā
"What's the matter, there are some things you know better than me, now that the king has succeeded to the throne, it doesn't matter if he doesn't amnesty the world, he actually wants to gather 20,000 conscripts, and it is clear that he will lose the hearts of the people." Li Si said with the edict.
Zhao Gao frowned slightly when he heard this, this matter was arranged by himself, but he didn't expect the first cooperation between the two to be so unpleasant, "Since Xiangguo doesn't agree, let's go in and discuss with the king." ā
Seeing this, Li Si no longer played with Zhao Gao, but walked towards the Wangyi Palace, Zhao Gao's face was erratic, and he just paced back and forth in front of the palace.
From this point of view, this Li Si is still his biggest obstacle, if he tells me the wrong things in Hu Hai every day, wouldn't it be me who will be implicated in the end, and finally accidentally tell the matter of Pingnanhou, I, Zhao Gaoke, will have no way to live, and I must prevent him from seeing Wang Shangcai in the future.
Now that Hu Hai has just succeeded to the throne, the biggest threat is not Li Si, but the princes in the palace, who have not yet been divided, and the most accurate thing is that they don't know how to deal with it.
Imagine that Ying Zheng is the first emperor of the county system, and all of them are princely systems.
But now it can't, because there are counties everywhere, and all of them have county guards, so the sons naturally can't go, but if they stay in the palace, it will be more difficult to deal with the princes in the end.
This is the most worrying place in Zhao Gao's heart, with little gossip, and seeing Li Si enter the palace, he is seeing Hu Hai eating, all of which are delicacies from the mountains and seas, with delicious wine and food, just like a banquet in the palace.
Hu Hai also knows etiquette, and when he saw Li Si coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and prepared a seat to give tea, "Why is Xiangguo here, isn't there something important?" ā
Li Si didn't directly explain his intentions, but glanced at the dishes with some frowns, "The king alone, there is no need to be so extravagant, there is something inappropriate, as the emperor at the beginning, he should be frugal." ā
When Hu Hai next to him heard this, he was naturally displeased, but Li Si was also an old minister of the former dynasty, so his face was very kind, "What Xiangguo said is very true, I have been taught." ā
Li Si took out the edict and placed it in front of Hu Hai, "Your Majesty, this edict is inappropriate, and it should be considered in the long run." ā
After that, he put the edict in front of Hu Hai, it was the edict of the morning conscription, "Xiangguo thinks there is something wrong, this is to repair the mausoleum of the first emperor, and now the imperial mausoleum has not been repaired, isn't it a big disrespectful thing?" Is there anything wrong with me giving such an edict? ā
Li Si was a little dumbfounded by Hu Hai's question, "Actually, what the king did is not wrong, but now there are frequent major events in the empire, although the first emperor is respected, but the people should also take care of it, the first king parade, isn't it also to appease the local people?" ā
"Nothing else, I only ask Xiangguo, is it the first emperor who is important, or the people are important." Hu Hai picked up the wine glass in front of him and asked a little proudly.
Li Si was very helpless, such an important matter, Hu Hai actually fought with him, such a recruitment of 20,000 people, the people's will be dissipated, and the empire could not bear it, but it is not here to discuss who is important and who is not.
"Your Majesty, 20,000 is really a bit much, why don't you recruit 10,000 conscripts first, and then transfer the rest of the people back from the frontier, I don't know what the king wants?" Li Si said with some compromise.
Seeing this, Hu Hai's face became more and more proud, thinking that he had persuaded Li Si, "Since Xiangguo has arranged it like this, I will follow what Xiangguo says." ā
Li Si was speechless, so he had to retreat, in his opinion, Hu Hai was just a child, at this time, he was still fighting for the speed of his tongue in front of him, and he was very depressed in his heart.
And any of the delicacies in the Wangyi Palace have not been removed, and many singers have entered the palace, Hu Hai's face is naturally satisfied, immersed in his own pleasure.
Zhao Gao, who was outside the palace, saw Li Si coming out, and immediately stepped forward, "Xiangguo, I don't know how everything is discussed?" ā
Li Si just shook his sleeves, "The king is indulgent, Vice Minister Zhao doesn't seem to have fulfilled his duties as a courtier." ā
"Xiangguo is too worried, the king is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, he can do whatever he wants, we can do our own things as courtiers, so that the king is happy, and the empire can also prosper."
"What nonsense!" Li Si said with some resentment, Zhao Gao looked at Li Si's back, and his face was somewhat erratic.
"It turns out that Brother Lu Xian is my confidant."
In the Xiangguo Mansion, it is really sad that Li Si, even if it is 10,000 conscripts, it is difficult to find, some time ago, whether it is criminals or hooligans and ruffians in various places, as well as county soldiers have been used, and now there is no conscription to be recruited.
"Since this is the case, the old man doesn't care if the people's hearts are weak." Li Si paced back and forth in the hall, and suddenly said gloomily, and then came to the case, took out the silk book, and wrote a few lines of small seals.
The book said: "The counties and counties in various places will levy thousands of conscriptions, and the emperor's tomb will be detained within ten days, and those who violate the order will be razed by the three clans." After writing it, he handed it directly to the old slave next to him, signaling him to issue it quickly, so as not to delay the king's filial piety!
