Chapter 291: Because Ah Fang gathers the four ministers
I thought that Lu Yan left Qidi Linzi at the age of twelve and went to Xianyang to serve as a politician, but he didn't expect that it would be more than ten years in a blink of an eye, and the dynasty he assisted was about to fall apart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the study, Lu Yan spread out the cloth, he hadn't practiced the seal for a long time, and he didn't feel a little rusty, just when he was writing quietly, Zhang Wen'er came slowly from outside the room.
Lu Yan was slightly surprised when he saw Wen'er coming, and hurriedly put down his pen and got up, "Wen'er, it's so late, I haven't slept yet, and now it's cold in winter, so I need to add more clothes." ”
"It's warm in the house, I just came out to have a look, and I want to ask Ziyu something." Zhang Wen'er said that he used the stove to make tea for Lu Yan, and his movements were very skillful.
"Isn't it a master's business?" Lu Yan asked with a little doubt, I think that the only thing that can keep Zhang Wen'er awake at night is Xianyang's old father.
Wen'er nodded slightly, "It is this matter, now that we have been back from Xianyang for a long time, but there is no news of my father, and I am also restless in my heart." ”
Lu Yan also immediately stepped forward to take the teapot, "Wen'er don't worry, now it is His Royal Highness Hu Hai who is in charge, with him, the master will be fine, and there is Li Xiangguo, it won't be long before the master will come back by himself." ”
"Ziyu is already a great minister in Xianyang, but he suddenly resigned, Wen'er really doesn't know what this means." Zhang Wen'er said as he fanned the stove.
Lu Yan next to him quickly handed over the teacup, "Sometimes the way of heaven is not something I can decide, since that letter was seen by Fusu Gongzi, I know that Qin is dead." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Wen'er slowly poured the tea into the cup, "No matter where Ziyu is, the concubine is willing to accompany her." ”
In the Xianyang Wangyi Palace, Hu Hai was immersed in the sound of dogs and horses all day long, but he was very concerned about the construction of Afang Palace.
At the beginning, Eighteen was the first emperor's favorite child, and every time Hu Hai went to Jiaolan Hall and traveled with the king, Yingzheng always had a drawing in front of his case, that is, the construction drawings of Afang Palace.
When Hu Hai saw this drawing, he was greatly surprised, he didn't expect that there would be such a majestic building in the world, so after the death of the first emperor, the drawings of the capital supervisor of Afang Palace became what Hu Hai was looking forward to.
Zhao Gao goes in and out of Afang Palace every day, how could he not know what Hu Hai thinks in his heart, in order to please Hu Hai, Zhao Gao deliberately raised this matter in Wangyi Palace.
When Hu Hai saw Zhao Gao say what was on his mind, he immediately prepared tea and gave him a seat, "How long does the prime minister think it will take to complete the construction of this Afang Palace?" ”
"Your Majesty, we can't decide on this matter, just a word from the king, and the construction of the Afang Palace can be completed quickly." Zhao Gao said mysteriously.
"What?" "Naturally recruit people, and if you have more people, you can slow down a lot of time when you build it."
Hu Hai was overjoyed when he heard this, how did he know that the people of the empire were in difficulty now, but he felt that everything only needed his words, and the prime minister could complete it with a show of his hand.
"Just do what the prime minister said, how many people are needed in the Afang Palace, you can recruit as many conscripts, don't be lazy, and don't find substitutes from the imperial tomb." Hu Hai said proudly.
Zhao Gao immediately received the order to retreat, wrote the edict directly in the reading pavilion, waved the ink pen, and sent 20,000 servants, and then sent his retinue to send the edict to the Xiangguo Mansion.
Since the last time the two met for the first time, each of them lost many important ministers, Zhao Gao was very resentful, so he took advantage of Hu Hai's enthusiasm for the affairs of Afang Palace to force Xiangguo to recruit a drudgery.
It can be seen that Zhao Gao's vision is really short-sighted, and Li Si is fine in the living room, and it is pleasant to drink tea and enjoy plums, but when he suddenly heard that an edict was sent from the palace, he couldn't help but have some doubts.
Hurriedly out of the hall to receive the order, I was a little surprised when I saw the content above, the last time I conscripted and conscripted to build the imperial mausoleum, it was only two months, and this time I had to conscript 20,000 conscripts, is it really as dense as ants in the empire?
"Go and inform Wang Youxiang, Feng Taiwei, and General Nei Shiteng, and say that the prime minister has something to discuss." Li Si held the edict and said helplessly.
After a while, the three of them arrived one after another, and Li Si didn't put up any shelves, so he immediately ordered someone to prepare tea, and by the way, passed the edict to a few people to watch.
"How is this feasible, it must be that Zhao Gao bewitched the king, so he would come up with such a method that disregards the people's livelihood, and he is conscripting and conscription, I am afraid that it will not take years, and the empire will be in chaos!" Nesten's capable military general said with some anger.
"The general is angry, Zhao Gao is originally a eunuch, close to the king, and has a natural advantage." Wang Juan said a little jokingly.
After reading the edict, the four of them muttered a few words, and then stopped talking, but sighed to themselves, "Ladies and gentlemen, the old man invited you here to discuss matters, not to be compassionate. ”
Wang Juan got up first, "You can discuss this matter, I will leave first, the important ministers of the former dynasty do not ask about the affairs of this dynasty, and the old man will return to his hometown tomorrow." With that, he walked towards the outside of the house.
Nesteng in the back also followed, "Among the generals, there are still Zhang Han, Wang Li and others, and it is useless for me to stay in the court, and I will go to Wangyi Palace with Wang Youxiang to ask for resignation." ”
Li Si hurriedly stopped in front of the two, "Two, you and follow me into the palace to comfort the king, if the king doesn't listen, it's not too late to beg for bones at that time." ”
Feng Zheng was a little older, and he also got up from the side, "What Xiangguo said is reasonable, we are all old ministers, at least we have to advise the king, and it is not in vain to be a minister if we leave." ”
Hearing what the two of them said, Wang Juan just sighed, "General, I think it's okay to act like this, now I really miss General Li and Tongwu Hou a little." ”
"In that case, let's go to Wangyi Palace now, if it doesn't work out, just ask for your resignation, and save an extra trip." Nesten said with a slight quip.
The four of them decided, and immediately rushed to the Wangyi Palace with the king's edict, and Zhao Gao was enjoying the snow in the reading pavilion at this time, which was really pleasant.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a report from my entourage, saying that the four old ministers of the previous dynasty were walking towards this side in the dust.
Zhao Gao also secretly pondered, "Wang Juan, Feng Zai, Li Si, who else?" Could it be that Henesten? What can these four people do here now? ”
Just as Zhao Gao was thinking about it, Li Si walked directly into the reading pavilion, ignoring the etiquette at all, and threw the king's edict on the case with disdain.
"Prime Minister Zhao, did you write this edict, or did the king mean it?"
Zhao Gao was questioned by Li Si and looked a little dazed, "This edict has the emperor's seal, so naturally I can't be the master, why is Xiangguo so angry to ask me." ”
"Hmph, you can't be the master, I'm afraid that the 20,000 conscripts on this are written by the prime minister at will." There was a slight disdain between the words.
"Is there anything wrong with the king who loves Afang Palace and conscripts 20,000 conscripts? The four old ministers came, wasn't it because of this trivial matter? Zhao Gao said indifferently.
