Chapter 52: Rebels and Thieves
Little Sage Village is famous in the city of Songhai, and almost everyone knows that there is a place where every day, it is crowded with people......
Today, however, it is silent and somewhat deserted......
Because they knew in advance that Fusu was coming, the people of Xiaoshengxianzhuang posted a notice that Fusu was the eldest son of Great Qin, so no one dared to offend him......
On the wide bluestone slab road, at this time, in addition to Fusu and his heavily armored soldiers, there was a Confucian faction......
"The eldest prince came from afar, presumably there must be some fatigue, so the old man will arrange for someone to arrange a room for the son!"
Xunzi stroked his snow-white beard and said.
"No need!"
Fusu shook his head......
"My son is here because there is something related to you!"
"Oh...... Isn't the eldest prince referring to that thing? ”
Xunzi's eyes were full of doubts......
"Old Fox ......"
Ye Qiong carefully observed Xunzi present, and suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh, but fortunately she couldn't hold back......
"Old Master Xun, don't you really know......
Fusu's face changed suddenly, and there was a chill in his tone......
"I really don't know ......"
Xunzi's face was calm, and he still shook his head......
"Since Old Master Xun doesn't know, then Ben Gongzi will tell you in person ......"
Fusu sneered and glanced around......
"Seven days ago, there were rebellious ministers and thieves who murdered my son, fortunately Mr. Ye was present, but the consequences were unimaginable!"
"Afterwards, when Ben Gongzi sent someone to investigate, he found that the three thieves who were going to kill Ben Gongzi turned out to be from your little sage village......
Speaking of this, Fusu's voice suddenly stopped......
It was July, and the sky was clear and there was a fireball-like sun, and the clouds seemed to have been burned by the sun and disappeared without a trace.
When Fusu and the others came here, it was almost noon, and the sun was poisonous, and the sun made people's sweat beads roll down.
The clods of earth on the ground were hot and hot, and a few black-brown pot-bellied crickets were bouncing around like springs.
The sun is like chilli water, and there is no shady place in the open street.
The sun was scorching the earth, and the sound of knowing was heard not far away.
It was swelteringly hot, there was not a hint of wind, and the thick air seemed to freeze, as if a spark would cause an explosion. The sun was like fire, and the earth was like a steamer, so hot that people couldn't breathe......
But it was such a weather that the Confucian people present were as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and what came from their bodies was not heat, but bone-chilling cold......
"The eldest prince, the old man dares to guarantee his life, there is definitely someone who wants to deliberately frame Honzhuang!"
Xunzi's tone finally changed slightly......
"The merits are not something you can solve with a single word!"
Although Fusu is soft-hearted, he is also a member of the emperor's family, so he naturally knows how to better deter outsiders......
"If the eldest prince insists on thinking so, the old man has nothing to say......"
Xunzi suddenly looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water......
As a Confucian, he actually didn't have a good impression of the violent Qin......
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to openly rebel against the Qin Dynasty like the Mo family......
After all, the core idea of Confucianism is still from the perspective of the ruler......
"You ......"
Fusu was about to speak, but saw a soldier hurrying forward.
This person's face was very hurried, panting, half-kneeling on the ground, and shouting: "Qi Yu Gongzi, Xianyang urgent!" ”
"Bring it on!"
Fusu frowned and replied.
"No!"
Fusu opened the scroll, and his face was suddenly solemn, only to see that there were several big characters written on it, "The widow will soon tour the east of Songhai".
Fusu stood up suddenly, and after quietly glancing at Xunzi and the others, he hurriedly walked out......
At this time, in the mountain behind the Little Sage Village, in a secret courtyard.
Master Ban hurriedly walked out of the room, holding a wooden tablet in his hand, and said, "This is the content of the secret report, everyone will pass it on to each other." ”
"Ying Zheng's Eastern Tour? This bastard has finally come out! I'm just desperate to kill him! Sledgehammer roared.
"This is indeed an opportunity! Ying Zheng has always lived in Xianyang, where it is difficult for us to assassinate, but since he dares to tour east, we will let him come and go. ”
"This matter has to be considered in the long run...... Yingzheng is on patrol, and there must be many guards around him, not to mention that there are many masters of the Yin and Yang family and the old opponents of the Gongyi family, assassination is not a simple matter! ”
Someone said with a frown.
"So what to do? Could it be that he can't watch Ying Zheng show off his might? Sledgehammer asked.
"Of course not!"
At this moment, Zhang Liang directly pushed the door in.
"The ovary is here too!" Gao gradually left his fists and said. "I wonder what the ovary can do?"
"For example, heroes from all walks of life gather in Songhai today, and the anti-Qin forces are unprecedentedly strong. As long as we are united, the assassination of Yingzheng is very likely to succeed! ”
"Oh? Can you explain the ovary more clearly? Gao asked Wanli.
"The assassination of Yingzheng must be in the interests of many people. I think that whether it is Taoism, Shushan, quicksand, or we Confucianism, we are all willing to help our Mohist friends. And, more importantly, there seems to be infighting within the empire, which is good for us to do. ”
"What? How can it be? Sledgehammer was surprised.
"Do you remember the Fusu assassination case?" Zhang Liang's face was calm, and he said loudly.
"Of course I do. I don't know which friend did it? Gao Yuanli was also a little puzzled.
"If there are other forces in Songhai and have such operational strength, we can't be ignorant." Zhang Liang analyzed.
"And although Fusu is the eldest son of the emperor, he has no real power. Moreover, compared with Li Si, who advocated the implementation of an iron-fisted policy, he always advocated cultivating the people's livelihood and appeasing the people of the Six Kingdoms with gentleness. ”
Gao Yanli snorted coldly and said: "The simplest behavioral motivation analysis is only two words in the final analysis: interests!" ”
"That's right, let's imagine if Fusu dies, who will be the biggest beneficiary?" Zhang Liang reminded.
"Could it be...... A struggle for power within the empire?
"Gongzi Fusu is the eldest son of Ying Zhengyan and the future heir to the throne. Although this is an established fact, it does not mean that others will not have other ideas! Mr. Gai must know better about the internal affairs of the empire! Zhang Liang said.
"The eighteenth son, Hu Hai, is astute and not under Fusu. When I was in Xianyang, I had several encounters with him, and he was deeply loved by Yingzheng. This son seems innocent. But there is quite a city in his eyes, which makes people have an unfathomable and gloomy feeling! And Luo Wang, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai have a close relationship! Gai Nie said, and at the same time, his pupils shrank fiercely......
