Chapter Twenty-Six: A Journey in the Wind and Snow
Although the emperor's mouth was interesting, his face was expressionless. Since he became the emperor, the emperor's study of "Han Feizi" has become more and more profound, and the means of controlling the ministers have become more abundant, and few ministers know the emperor's thoughts.
Several ministers quickly exchanged glances at the books in their hands, and finished reading the three volumes in a while. Prime Minister Li Si became more and more solemn when he read these books. The imperial historian Feng Zai showed joy on his face, and when he finished reading the three volumes, he said yes in a loud voice. In this dialogue, there are many comments and predictions on the political measures of the empire, and the comments are extremely pertinent, far-sighted, and the predictions are basically dark and the current planning of the empire, along with some criticisms, and they are also outspoken.
"Everyone's done reading it?" The Emperor smiled lightly.
The ministers nodded their heads. The Emperor then asked, "What do you think of the contents of this book?" The emperor's eyes looked directly at the imperial historian Feng Zheng
Feng Zheng was embarrassed in his heart, but he was originally a general in the army, upright by nature, as a doctor of imperial history, he was the one who assisted the emperor and supervised hundreds of officials, so he arched his hand at the emperor and said: "The words in it are very consistent, which is quite consistent with the status quo of my Great Qin national policy, Wei Yu, this student, is not simple!" ”
The others also bowed their heads slightly, approving Feng Zheng's words.
And Prime Minister Li Si frowned slightly, and said: "The old national lieutenant said that this student is only fifteen or sixteen years old, at this age, how can he understand the situation of the imperial government and the opposition so thoroughly, should it not be the old national lieutenant's own words, relying on the mouth of the student...... "The implication of the words is quite that in order to build momentum for the students, he puts his own views on the students, so as to pave a frank career for the students.
Hearing this, Wang Ben's brows furrowed slightly. When he was young, Wang Ben also followed the old national lieutenant Wei Yu, learned a lot of marching methods, and treated Wei Wei as a student, and was even more familiar with Wei Yu's character, knowing that Wei Wei would not be such a despicable person, he lowered his face and said: "How can the old national captain be such a person? In his letter, the old lieutenant did not mean to recommend his students, and it was inappropriate for the prime minister to say this. ”
Although Li Si is the prime minister, Wang Ben is also a captain, the same three dukes, and the father and son have two generations of outstanding military achievements, holding heavy fists, and winning the emperor's trust.
Li Si smiled slightly and said no more. The Emperor watched with amusement as several of them argued. Nor do they speak. After everyone stopped, the emperor suddenly glanced at the last person in the list, a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the young man's eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to the emperor, but a little less majestic and a little more delicate.
The emperor asked, turning to the young man, "Fusu, what do you think?" "This young man turned out to be the emperor's eldest son, Fusu. Fusu does not have an official position, and he also listens to the government as a prince here. Every prince of the empire who is over the age of sixteen listens to the government here in accordance with the rules and regulations. Of course, this is because the emperor did not appoint a crown prince, and if a prince is established, only the prince will have this kind of treatment.
Seeing his father's inquiry, Fusu hurriedly responded: "Erchen thinks that if the master's student is so smart, it must be a good thing, and it is a good thing that my great Qin Liangcai is endless; It's hard to determine this matter at the moment, and it's been a few hours, and it's not necessarily good. After the master returns to Xianyang with his disciples in the future, won't it be clear? ”
Listened to Fusu's words. The emperor was slightly happy. This Fusu is young, but he already has some level in speaking, he speaks impartially, he is kind and muddy, and he will definitely control the kung fu of the ministers in the future, and he may not be lower than him, who is an old man.
"Hmm. So be it. The emperor waved his hand, and the ministers knew that this was a signal for the emperor to let them go down.
……
"Hatch ......" sneezed a few times in a row, and Chen Sheng, whose ears were slightly hot, said puzzledly: "Who is nagging me?" On the carriage, Chen Sheng waved the horsewhip, driving the horse all the way to the small, the road was rugged, and the carriage was moving forward in the bumps, wanting to come
"Senior brother, I think you're caught with the cold, right?" Inside the carriage, Tian Peng's voice came out: "Senior brother, why don't you come in and rest, let me drive the horse for a while?" ”
"No, there may be a burst of rain and snow depending on the sky, we have to go to Pengcheng before dark, otherwise there is no place to stay in this barren mountain and wilderness, and it will be terrible."
"Sheng'er, drink two sips of wine to warm up." The old man's voice also came out from inside, and a wine bag was also handed out through a thick curtain with a ball of heating.
Chen Sheng was not polite, took the wine bag, took two sips of warm wine, and was addicted to it, and then rode his horse and continued to hurry.
As the carriage progressed, it approached a valley. The roads have become more rugged, and the roads are muddy due to the melting slush. On both sides of the valley is a continuous forest. Seeing this kind of terrain, Chen Sheng couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this is really a good place for soldiers to set up ambushes!
In the past few months, after leaving Yangcheng, he and Tian Peng were under the command and leadership of the teacher, first from Chen County to Yingchuan County, from north to east, all the way to Linzi and Jiaodong County, until they reached the edge of the East China Sea before turning back, and then all the way south, through Langya, Xue County and into Surabaya County, along the way wind and snow, the road is long and difficult; However, in the past six months, Chen Sheng's knowledge has also improved by leaps and bounds. Wei Yu took two students all the way to almost all the counties in the north and south of Shandong Province of the empire, and traveled to hundreds of counties, inspected the local customs and customs, and also watched many battlefields where great wars had taken place. Every time Wei Yu went to an ancient battlefield, he listed in detail the pros and cons of the two warring sides of the year, and asked the two students to imagine the battle, if the commander at that time how to transfer troops, whether it was Chen Sheng or Tian Peng, in the process of this study tour, they all benefited a lot.
After discovering the steep terrain, Chen Sheng slowed down and moved forward cautiously. He saw a figure walking on a cliff in the distance, and immediately became vigilant. It's freezing on this day, and it's far away from the populated land, and it will definitely not be a good thing for someone to be so sneaky. Traveling all the way, Chen Sheng's master and apprentice have met a lot of young people, but fortunately, the three masters and apprentices are not weak and kind, and the thieves can only consider themselves unlucky when they meet the three people.
"Brother Ji, there's a carriage coming this way from down the mountain!" A slewd-looking minion in a cloak quickly walked into the cave and shouted at a leader who was sitting on a tattered tiger skin and drinking alcohol. The cave was empty, and a few minions were warming up around the campfire, drinking, and guessing fists, echoing in a burst.
"Got a business?" When the leader heard this, his eyes immediately flashed.
