Chapter 100: On Chess Players and Chess Pieces

Qin Imperial Palace......

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you should make a decision as soon as possible, and you can't delay it. Li Changqing knelt on the ground and said to Fusu.

"No, the Emperor will definitely come back. Fusu is only shallow in learning, how dare he steal the artifact. Fusu shook his head and said firmly.

"There is a news in the palace that His Majesty is not in the palace, folk

It turned out to be a mess of porridge, and now there are even more rumors, saying that His Majesty has died for a hundred years, traitorous ministers have usurped the country, and ministers have harmed the people. ”

"I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the unification, inherit the mandate of heaven, take charge of the society, calm the hearts of the people, and ascend the throne as the emperor. Li Changqing bowed again, affectionate and serious.

"Only a few of us know about my father's news, how can the people know about it? Why is it like this? What does the Black Nightmare Army Intelligence Department do to eat?" Fusu's face showed anger, there was a lot of article in it, it was simply mad.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have a pair of behind-the-scenes masterminds behind the scenes, otherwise it would be impossible for the Intelligence Department of the Black Nightmare Army to suppress the signs, resulting in the situation getting out of control, and rumors spreading to every inch of Daqin. Li Changqing asserted.

"Master Li is polite in his analysis, but he has the evidence?" Fusu asked.

"Your Highness, the old minister does have some evidence, but it's just ......" Li Changqing's face was worried, and he looked palpitating.

"Master Li, but it doesn't hurt to say, don't worry. ”

"The four marquis on the border are the most suspicious, especially the Northern Heavenly Marquis Meng Tian, the Southern Heavenly Marquis Wang Ben, and the Western Heavenly Marquis Han Xin The three marquis have had too many contacts, and the letters are frequent, and the old minister's subordinates intercepted several letters, and the handwriting has been verified to be the three marquis. Li Changqing took out a few bamboo slips from his sleeves and held them up with both hands towards Fusu.

Fusu glanced at the little bean behind him.

Xiaodouzi comprehended the gods, and walked up to take the bamboo slips very skillfully. It was handed to Fusu.

Fusu picked up a bamboo slip. Flip it open and watch it. But his face became more and more ugly.

After reading Fusu, he directly threw out the bamboo slip in his hand, his face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly, "Rebel minister, rebel thief......"

The prince was angry. Li Changqing and Xiaodouzi saw that Fusu was angry, and immediately knelt down and said.

Fusu was in a very bad mood after reading all the letters, and said with a shocked and angry face: Ridiculous, I always thought that colluding with the harem, Han Xin, the Marquis of the West Tian, and Xiang Yu, the Marquis of the East Heaven, were the most suspicious. The Meng family and the Wang family received the emperor's grace. The grace of generations can be described as the pillar of Great Qin. ”

"The rebellious ministers and thieves, insulting my father and the emperor, are rebellious, and immediately send a decree to arrest the Montessori brothers, and the father and son of the Wang family will return to Beijing for trial. ”

"No, never!" Li Changqing was taken aback and hurriedly dissuaded.

After Fusu regained his composure, he also felt scared, and said secretly: "I was too impulsive." ”

It's just that as a prince, you can't break your word and get fat. He looked at Li Changqing and said, "Why not arrest the rebellious ministers and thieves?"

"Your Highness. Now that the country is empty, the garrisons everywhere have to suppress the rebellion, and the emperor star only has 50,000 Black Dragon Guards and 200,000 Jing Guards. And the four major legions, even if the fourth legion of the Eastern Tianhou stood on the side of the imperial court, they had no chance of winning. Li Changqing analyzed.

"What Master Li said is reasonable, but if the rebellious ministers and thieves don't get rid of Kuang Fu Sheji, I have decided to send 10,000 Black Dragon Guards to accompany me, and Xiaodouzi will go to pass the decree. Fusu's face was full of anger, and he looked like he had made up his mind.

The old minister felt that His Royal Highness the Prince's strategy was too risky and hasty. Instead, it is the best policy to immediately arrest the Meng family and the Wang family and Han Xin's family to coerce the three marquis to relinquish their military power and take the initiative to return to Beijing to face trial. Li Changqing's face showed a hint of discoloration, and it disappeared in a flash, but he was unsure and wanted to test it further.

"Although Lord Li's plan is wonderful, it can't see the light, how can it be done by the imperial court, I am afraid that the world will laugh at it. Although Fusu's strategy was superficial and barbaric, and had certain risks, it was something that the imperial court should do. Fusu's face was ugly, and he didn't dare to agree.

"Hahahaha......" Li Changqing stood up from the ground directly after hearing this, laughing heartily.

Fusu's pupils shrank, and then his face was full of puzzlement: "What does Master Li mean?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not stupid, so why continue to pretend if this is the case?" Li Changqing smiled knowingly.

"What do you mean by this, Lord Li?" the anger on Fusu's face disappeared and was replaced by calm.

"When did you notice that?" Li Changqing suddenly asked, even removing the honorific title of Fusu.

"In the more than 100 years since my father's departure, I didn't know about it for the first few decades, but in the following decades I saw the music almost systematically, and I always had doubts in my mind, as if my eyes were covered. Fusu's face was calm, but his heart ached faintly.

"There is no problem with those pieces at all, each one is carefully selected, how is it possible?" Li Changqing said in surprise.

"No problem is the biggest problem, it's so perfect, it's like a dream woven by someone. Fusu said self-deprecatingly.

"That's true, it's just that I've been asking myself if there's been a mistake, why do you doubt me?" Li Changqing said with a calm look.

"You are too anxious, if Li Si is the eye of the Great Qin Empire, you Li Changqing is the eye of the Great Qin Empire. You deliberately falsified evidence, and I was convinced at first, but you shouldn't have eliminated Donghou Xiang Yu, I had already discovered that Xiang Yu and Concubine Yu were colluding. Fusu sneered.

"So you will do what you want, and you want the Montessori brothers, the Wang family, father and son, and the Western Heavenly Marquis Han Xin to return to Beijing and change the situation in one fell swoop?"

"Yes, it's a pity that it fell short. Fu Su sighed, and then said: "I think you dare to do it today, the Great Qin Empire has been stirred up by you, and the world is in chaos!"

"It's a pity that you know too late......" Li Changqing said with some disdain.

"It's just that I don't understand, even if you succeed, aren't you afraid of the day when the Commander of the Nightmare returns home. Fusu asked tentatively with the last hope in his heart.

"Don't you think it's a funny question? The Nightmare also has to be alive to come back alive......" Li Changqing brutally destroyed Fusu's last hope, undisguised his disdain.

"You traitors, you have committed adultery and betrayed the country, there will be no good end, the leader of the Black Nightmare is the first warrior of Great Qin, and your conspiracy will never succeed. Fusu's calm face finally showed anger.

"What if the Nightmare returns? Just let you die violently a few years after you ascend the throne. The little prince's natural brother became a brother. Concubine Yu Niangniang is naturally the justifiable queen mother, and it is also a good story. Li Changqing said with deep meaning.

"Brute, the Great Qin Empire treats you well, and the first emperor is even more gracious, why do you want to do this. Fusu gritted his teeth and asked angrily.

"A good minister chooses the lord to serve, and a good bird chooses a tree to perch. You are not fit to be the throne, you are too gentle to be witty. Pedantry is too benevolent, cunning is almost none, majesty is humiliating, obedience is not progressive, blind and inactive. Li Changqing's face was full of contempt.

"Changqing has never betrayed the emperor, and it is for the great cause of the emperor that he has to do it. Li Changqing said this, with a look of reverence on his face.

"Even if Fusu doesn't do well, you can just come to Fusu, why is tea poisoning the world?" Fusu accused.

"Poison has penetrated deep into the soul. Rotten wood can't be carved, so I chose the little prince over you. Li Changqing sighed. Said helplessly.

"What's wrong with the emperor caring for the people of the world?" What is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime?" Fusu naturally scoffed, he thought that Li Changqing was acting coy and disgusting himself.

At this time, Li Changqing no longer cared about Fusu's opinion at all: "It is naturally right for the emperor to be sympathetic to the people, but the mistake is wrong. ”

"Ridiculous, a bunch of nonsense, although Fusu loves the people, he has always vigorously supported the expansion and strengthening of the Great Qin army. Fusu snorted coldly.

"Is this really what you really think? Ming supports the investment of huge resources in the development of the Emperor ** Regiment, and secretly slanders and resents it. Don't say that Yuyang County ordered the private embezzlement of the treasury to give to those untouchables who don't want to make progress and only know how to have fun, don't you know?" Li Changqing looked at Fusu with deep meaning.

"What's wrong with that? Those people were just blinded for a moment. Speaking of which, the imperial court also has part of the responsibility, if it weren't for the imperial court to allow those greedy extraterritorial barbarians to enter Great Qin, those simple people would not have lost their minds. Fusu argued.

"Speaking of which, if it weren't for your ignorant and ridiculous actions, this Great Qin Empire wouldn't be able to mess up so quickly. Ignorance is not terrible, what is terrible is to go on in ignorance forever without self-reflection. Li Si looked at Fusu with disappointment and said pitifully.

"Am I really that ignorant?" Fusu said with a gloomy expression.

"It's pedantic, I can't see the future grand cause of the Great Qin Empire in you, except for benevolence and filial piety, there is no half of the emperor's superiority If it is not for the disobedience of the prince, it will not be your turn at all. I just say a few words that can make you shake your beliefs for many years, how pedantic and indecisive are you?" Li Changqing felt ashamed, His Majesty was famous, and indeed there was no heir.

Although Concubine Yu was dissecting, Li Changqing felt that His Majesty's youngest son was a good candidate. As for Concubine Yu, if she really supports the little prince, forget it, otherwise he, Li Changqing, will be the first to refuse.

In his opinion, as long as it is the heir of His Majesty, it is natural to survive the fittest, the strong inherit His Majesty's unification, and Fang Da will expand His Majesty's foundation and become stronger.

"You ......" Fusu's heart was even more confused, and he couldn't find the words to refute it.

"Your Majesty is so heroic, if Your Majesty dares to say nothing at all? And you? Decades ago, you noticed Li Si's problem and did nothing, this is the Achilles weakness of your indecision."

Although I clearly felt the signs, I really couldn't believe it, and I always held a half-believing attitude, allowing the situation to expand and then get out of control. Li Changqing hated that iron could not become steel, and pointed at Fusu and reprimanded.

"You don't have to be in a hurry to quibble, as early as the two hundred years of Emperor Qin, I found out that Li Si had betrayed Your Majesty. I actually forged a piece of music to deceive the prince, and then I have always had a grudge against you, the prince, so I wanted to test it, and you really wanted to disappoint me. Li Changqing ignored Fusu, talked to himself, and vented his complaints for many years.

"If Li Si betrayed, it was because he had a grudge against His Majesty for forcing his only son Li You to death, which is understandable. But as the crown prince, you don't have the slightest sense of defense, are you really so relieved?And then as His Royal Highness the crown prince, you did what Li Si and many important ministers of the court said, and many ministers, including me, abandoned His Royal Highness the prince, didn't you find the reason?" Li Si's words were sharp, and every word was heartfelt.

Fusu's face was red for a while, white for a while, and suddenly roared loudly: "Enough, this is all my father, he gave all the military and political power to you court ministers, I am just a fancy prince, I have neither military power nor political power, I can only watch as I am completely stripped of power by you so-called important ministers of the court, and in the end I can only rely on others." ”

"Hmph, do you know why you will never be able to compare to Your Majesty? Because Your Majesty only needs to doubt who dies. And you have the evidence, but you can still be ridiculously skeptical. In other words, Your Majesty, even if Li Si and I have a hundred lives, it is not enough to die. ”

"Although Your Majesty cherishes his subjects, he uses all living beings as pawns to guide the country. No matter which chess piece makes His Majesty feel that he has made a mistake, it can be discarded at any time. And you are willing to be a pawn of the subject, and the minister feels that he doesn't need you, so he can naturally abandon it at any time and change it to a chess piece. Which is higher or lower between the chess pieces and the chess players?" Li Changqing looked at Fusu with pity, and his voice did not hide the contempt in his heart.

"Wonderful, wonderful, I didn't know before, Changqing, that you were still refining the Emperor's Technique? It seems that I am going to give you the Imperial Throne? Huh?" The originally quiet Qin Emperor Hall resounded with the sound of applause, followed by Yingzheng's voice. (To be continued......
