Chapter 81: The First Emperor Dies! (below)
"No." Seven people lined up on either side and made high stool back chairs.
Over the years, Wuxing's Wu's business has built the Song Dynasty furniture that Zhao Jun said, and it is quite popular, earning a lot of money for Wuxing, and now the eastern counties have spread, and there are also fried food wine shops all over the world, even the first emperor boasted after eating, the current Wu's business in addition to the heritage, the money earned every year is not much worse than Mrs. Qing's Mu family business.
Zhao Jun saw that several people had done it, first in a deep voice, and finally said in a calm tone: "Today is mainly to tell you a piece of news, five days ago, my father and the emperor died. ”
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, their expressions were shocked, no matter what, the first emperor ** is the backbone of the empire, and when they suddenly heard this news, everyone couldn't help but feel a little panicked in their hearts.
In the end, they all agreed, Qi Qi looked at Zhao Jun, the first emperor is dead, who is the second emperor?
Zhao Jun said lightly: "My eldest brother Fusu succeeded to the throne, but the eldest brother was filial and decided to ascend the throne after three months of filial piety, and now he is still in charge of the country as the eldest son. ”
Everyone was stunned after hearing this, but then they felt that it was reasonable that Fusu was known as a virtuous person, had been in charge of the country several times, and also had prestige in the imperial court, and the first emperor gave the daughter of the Meng family and the daughter of the Feng family to Fusu two years ago, with the support of the Meng family and the Feng family, whether it was military or political, compared with several other princes, there is no doubt that Fusu has an overwhelming advantage.
"What do you think about this?" Zhao Jun swept his gaze towards everyone, with a faint sense of detection, the meaning was obvious, that is, he wanted them to express their position.
Several people glanced at each other, then suddenly got up, clasped their hands into fists and said in unison: "We are all Hou Ye's soldiers." ”
"Okay." Zhao Jun smiled, every time a few people disappointed him, it was not that he didn't believe a few people, but at this moment, there must not be the slightest ambiguity in the attitude, and it must be clear and unified.
Suddenly, Zhao Jun looked at Sima Xin, who also stood up, but hesitated and did not say anything, his eyes were like knives, sharp and cold.
Seeing this, everyone also looked at Sima Xin with a not bad and kind face, and Cao Wuxian even held his hand on the hilt of the sword, with awe-inspiring killing intent.
Sima Xin panicked in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and said loudly: "Sima Xin is the order of the Hou Ye." ”
"Hehe, Mr. Sima is polite, get up, it's just to work for Daqin." Zhao Jun waved his hand and said with a light smile.
Sima Xin hurriedly thanked him, then got up and stood aside respectfully.
At this time, Lu Ze asked: "Master Hou, is this news from our own people, and we haven't seen anyone from the imperial court in the post house?" ”
"Not bad." Zhao Jun nodded.
Usually the Linzi Post House is Lu Ze is in charge, and Zhao Jun's subordinates talk about family background, Tang Li, Lu Ze, and Yu Ziqi are the three of them, but Tang Li usually doesn't like to talk much, and Yu Ziqi is cynical, only Lu Ze is good at talking about changes, and sympathetic to Da Lian, proficient in hospitality, so Zhao Jun let him be in charge of the post house.
Tang Li said strangely: "Your own people? From the emperor's death to his burial, according to the rules of the Qin family, it will be delayed for up to seven days, and if the news is delivered urgently as soon as possible, it will only take three days from the Xianyang Mansion to Linzi, why has no one from the imperial court to this day? ”
Everyone was stunned after hearing this, Tang Li's analysis was correct.
His own people are passing the news in private, and it will take a lot of twists and turns, and if Fusu has a heart, he will definitely be able to deliver the news most smoothly for a while, and it will definitely be faster than his own people, but Zhao Jun has got the news in private, and there is no reason for the news that the court is urgent.
"I think this kid Fusu is afraid that Master Hou will go back and fight for the throne." The clever infant guessed dissatisfiedly.
Cao Wuxian nodded: "Boss, I think that's what Fusu means, hmph, what is worse than him, boss, you are still the eldest son, it is better to take the throne for you." ”
"Don't talk nonsense! You remember, now that he is the emperor, whoever dares to disrespect him, Benhou will be the first to spare him. Zhao Jun reprimanded, with his own 30,000 horses, it is impossible to pose a threat to the orthodoxy of Fusu in a short period of time, as long as he dares to make a move, I am afraid that Meng Tian will immediately go south, and Li You and Wang Ben will not let themselves enter the customs.
Now it is not as good as Hu II's accession to the throne in history, there are people who are loyal and brave to Daqin, of course, the most important thing is that Fusu ascended the throne in the name of righteousness, and he dared to take the opportunity to seize the throne, which was purely an act of looking for death, and the old Qin people would definitely stand on the side of Fusu when the time came.
is saying that he promised the first emperor to be the shield of the Great Qin, as long as Fusu is not sorry for him first, he will never do anything about infighting, and the most important thing is that there are two big enemies Liu Bang and Xiang Yu lurking, at this time, infighting is to grow muscles in the brain, stupid.
Yu Ziqi said: "Let's not talk nonsense, maybe some people are looking forward to Hou Ye showing his feet, and he will deal with Hou Ye in a good name." ”
Cao Wuxian and Guan Ying held back their mouths after hearing this, and did not continue to scold Fusu.
At this time, Ying Bu Leng Sensen said: "Then we can't let him slaughter, since he delayed notifying Hou Ye, he must have bad intentions towards Hou Ye, and he can't go to Xianyang lightly." ”
"Yingbu is right, if my prediction is right, Fusu Gongzi must have taken the opportunity to test Hou Ye, or he wants to seize Hou Ye's handle and remove Hou Ye's military power." Tang Li echoed.
Zhao Jun's expression moved, and he said, "What do you say?" ”
Tang Li explained: "It is reasonable for Fusu Gongzi to be wary of Hou Ye, after all, Hou Ye is the eldest son, Hu Wei is great, and once the first emperor is gone, Fusu will definitely not worry that Hou Ye is mastering so many elite soldiers and horses."
If the Hou Ye does not follow the edict and goes to Xianyang, the prince of Fusu can take advantage of this to remove the military power of the Hou Ye, and even condemn the Hou Ye, even if the Hou Ye is patient and waits for the edict, the Fusu prince will definitely take the opportunity to transfer the Hou Ye from Linzi and destroy the foundation of the Hou Ye. ”
"Then go to a bird, don't go, let's stay in Linzi, I'll see what he can do with Hou Ye, our soldiers have not been trained in vain in the past few years." Cao Wuxian shouted with a red neck.
Yingbu and Guan Ying are also full of righteous indignation, in the past few years, they have poured all their efforts in Linzi County, and they have already regarded this as Zhao Jun's private territory, which is the foundation for them to settle down and make contributions in the future, and now Fusu wants to destroy their foundation, which is tantamount to killing their parents.
"Hou Ye can not go now, but as soon as the edict of Fusu Gongzi arrives, Hou Ye must go, if we openly resist, Fusu Gongzi will definitely take advantage of this to say that Hou Ye rebelled and sent the Northern Army to encircle and suppress." Lu Ze calmly analyzed, and Yu Ziqi nodded in agreement beside him.
Zhao Jun frowned, although Meng Tian is his master, he knows Meng Tian's character better, once he shows his rebellion, Fusu has an edict, Meng Tian will never show mercy, including Wang Ben of Nanyang County will also send troops to deal with him, they are all loyal ministers of the Qin Dynasty for generations, and they will definitely maintain the orthodoxy of the Qin Dynasty.
At this time, Tang Li also paid no attention, he could see through the situation, but he was not a real strategist, what he was really good at was fighting, Zhao Jun was a little distressed, there were many generals under him, but there were no real strategists, Tang Li could only be regarded as half.
For a moment, there was a brief silence in the council hall.
At this time, Sima Xin, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, glanced at the people present, and thought to himself, anyway, I have already boarded the thief ship of Shenwuhou, even if I return to Xianyang, I am afraid that others will mistakenly think that I am his henchman, and I am afraid that I will not be reused.
is saying that with Zhao Jun's decisiveness, I am afraid that he will show his intentions a little, and the first thing Zhao Jun will kill is himself.
"Master Hou, I have a way, maybe I can give it a try." Sima Xin didn't hesitate, took a look, and said carefully.
When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes to Sima Xin, who was a little thief-eyed, and Zhao Jun also looked at him a few times, this guy is a little obscene, but it is true that he has learned to learn, and in recent years, Linzi government affairs have been handled by him in an orderly manner, and there is no confusion at all, and he is indeed a talent.
But this guy is too cunning and always refuses to give his best, has he figured it out now?
"You say." Zhao Jun smiled faintly and spoke.
Sima Xin said respectfully: "Xianyang is definitely going to go, not to mention violating the edict, just the Hou Ye does not go to see off the first emperor to bear the infamy, although it is dangerous to go, but the Hou Ye can borrow external forces, I heard that the Hou Ye has a deep relationship with General Wang and Mr. Wei Yi, why not ask them to help."
In terms of merit and prestige, now the entire court counts him as the two highest, the first emperor was powerful at the time, and they were shocked, and the two of them have been hidden in the Lantian camp, but now that the first emperor is going, how can the prince of Fusu easily handle the two of them? Besides, the prince of Fusu has not officially succeeded to the throne yet, and he can't deter them in terms of prestige. ”
After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they suddenly realized in their hearts that Fusu's weakness was the lack of prestige, and he would succeed to the throne in March, that is to say, now he is still the identity of the prison country, although the first emperor is dead, it is essentially the same, but nominally it is different, as long as Wang Jian and Wei Yu come forward, Fusu has nothing to do.
"Sima Xin, you are very dishonest, you still have a trick." Zhao Jun stared at Sima Xin sharply, with a leisurely smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen through him.
Sima Xin's forehead was a little sweaty, Hou Ye was too shrewd, he originally wanted to sell a pass, and he was making a move at a critical moment, so as to improve his status in Linzi, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Zhao Jun in advance.
Sima Xin had a bitter face, and finally only said honestly: "Hou Ye is wise, it is true, Xianyang is at the feet of the Son of Heaven after all, I am afraid that Hou Ye will be easy to go in and difficult to come out, my suggestion is to send someone to keep in touch with Hou Ye at all times, once Fusu Gongzi is determined to trap Hou Ye, then we will make some trouble in Linzi, and then Hou Ye can adapt to the situation, or force out, as long as the reason is explained properly afterwards, Fusu Gongzi has no excuse and has no excuse Hou Ye, after all, Hou Ye is still the eldest son of the clan, he can't have no excuse, forced the Hou Ye to disarm and return to the field. ”
Sima Xin was able to grasp the weakness of Fusu's prestige that was not as good as the first emperor, and he couldn't hold the handle of Zhao Jun, so he didn't dare to come nonsense.
"Good plan, Sima Xin, you are very good." Zhao Jun smiled, as long as he can pass the Xianyang pass, it will not be so easy for Fusu to recall himself back to Xianyang in the future, just wait for the uprising in the world to break out, and the water in the world will be muddy, and he can fish in troubled waters, and it is up to him to say whether Fusu will be the emperor or not.
At this time, everyone looked at Sima Xin's eyes a little differently, I didn't expect that Sima Xin, who was a thief and a rat, could come up with such a clever strategy in addition to governing the place, as for making something happen, it would be easy, there are bandits here, occasionally creating some signs of rebellion, or Linzi is unstable, Zhao Jun has an absolute excuse to come back.
