Chapter 9: Gambling (1) [4k, ask for subscription]
There was a coldness in his voice, but also a hint of elusiveness.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, but Fusu, who was sitting opposite Yingzheng, did not have the slightest change in emotion on his face.
He just looked at the chessboard in front of him.
"Father, isn't this normal?"
Fusu raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng in front of him, Ying Zheng actually had some gray hair on his head.
White hair shrouded his head, reflecting Yingzheng's age.
The father and emperor, who looked majestic in the past, have gradually become less majestic in the past two years.
No, it's not that it's not so majestic, but in his heart, the majesty of his father has also become a kind of intimacy.
This feeling lingered in Fusu's heart, and he smiled.
"Father, the ambition in the hearts of the people of the world is slowly growing, and the longer the Great Qin dominates the world, the more this ambition will grow."
"It's normal."
"Not only Daqin, but even Zhou back then was like this?"
"When King Wu of Zhou was still ruled, the world was a little chaotic, and later when the Duke of Zhou ruled the world and even exiled several kings, the world was even more turbulent."
"Later, until King Li competed with the people for profit, and later caused the countrymen to ***, and then the king of Zhou Youfeng played the princes, and the back dog Rong clan was destroyed."
Fusu's voice was tinged with a little bit of vicissitudes, sounding like an old man who had gone through the world.
"When will the world be at peace for a long time?"
"There are always desires in people's hearts, and as long as there are desires in people's hearts, then the world will not be able to maintain peace for a long time."
Ying Zheng sat there, sitting in front of the chessboard, holding a chess piece between his fingers.
He looked at Fusu, who was sitting in front of him and talking, and his heart was even more satisfied.
In fact, Ying Zheng's reaction to those people is nothing, after all, it is not a big deal.
It's just a little turbulence, as long as he makes a move, the world will be quiet in an instant.
Even now, those people are not going for the highest positions.
It's just that he wants to implement the sub-sealing system.
For the throne, those people in the clan still dare not be contaminated.
Don't talk about it, don't even think about it, this is the coercion he left behind.
"yes."
Ying Zheng sighed and said, "The greed in the hearts of the world cannot be broken, but these greeds can sometimes do some good things."
"Like now."
Ying Zheng sneered: "When I was in charge of the government, these old men didn't help much."
"Even when I was dealing with Lü Buwei and Chang Poison, they wanted to stumble on me."
"They think that as long as I am not pro-government, they will be able to share the power of Great Qin with Lü Buwei."
"And after that, when I suppressed Lü Buwei, Chang Poison, and even mastered the entire Great Qin, and began to go west to control the entire world, they began to hide."
Ying Zheng's eyes had a gloomy look.
"Back then, when Great Qin was in danger, this group of people was preparing to escape, or even to surrender."
"Now that Daqin has survived and ruled the world, they have run out to enjoy happiness."
"I've wanted to catch them all for a long time."
"If it weren't for your teacher going to Penglaizhou this time, he made some changes and touched some interests of the clan."
"Let the clan feel that it is no longer possible to hide the money."
"They don't know how long they're going to hide!"
Ying Zheng's hand slapped on the table, and the chess pieces on the table instantly vibrate.
He snorted coldly and stroked his sleeve: "This group of moths should have been cleaned up a long time ago, but now I have my hands free."
Fusu looked at Yingzheng opposite a little helplessly, and said softly, "Since my father knows that they are moths,
I also have the heart to do something to them."
"And what else do you want?"
"What are you angry about?"
He turned his head to look outside and said, "This world, it's time to clean up."
"The traitors of the Six Kingdoms have been cleared, and the branding of the Six Kingdoms in the world has disappeared."
"Now it's time to clean up the inside of Great Qin."
"When the interior of Daqin is also cleaned up, it is time to take action against the 'Baiyue' and 'Xiongnu'."
Fusu's eyes flashed coldly: "Not only Baiyue and Xiongnu, but there are also continents in the south of Baiyue, and there are continents in the north of Xiongnu!"
"We can't cross the sea to control the Yin Shang Continent, but we can control the continent next to us!"
"The world is called unification in this way!"
A powerful aura gradually emerged from Fusu's body, and his expression was cold.
At this time, Fusu doesn't look like Fusu, but like Yingzheng!
That Yingzheng who swallowed the world!
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu's figure with a vague smile and satisfaction in his eyes.
His son, naturally, wants to have this kind of grand wish to swallow the world!
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a tiger father and a dog son?
He laughed and said, "Hahahahaha, hahahahahahaha."
Yes, that's how you should have it!"
"This is my son!"
"However, this matter of swallowing the surrounding continent should be left to my father."
Ying Zheng looked energetic at this time, like when he was young: "This is my father's business, not your business!"

Zongmufu
A stick of incense was burning, and a little cyan smoke wafted across the sky.
Ziying half-knelt there, looking at the ancestral hall in front of him, with inexplicable confusion in his eyes.
He sighed softly.
If you are unified today, it is obviously a good thing for Great Qin, why do your uncles, ancestors, and even ancestors want to divide the world?
He had read a lot of books, but he couldn't understand the truth, and the truth made him confused.
Confucius did respect the etiquette system of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but this etiquette system was not a feudal system, but a system of etiquette and music.
Because it was an era of decay of etiquette.
But now that it has been unified, and the world is at a time of stability, why are there still people in the name of Confucius to implement any sub-feudal system?
Ziying looked at the dark spiritual seat of the ancestors and ancestors sitting on the table, with a puzzled and sad expression.
Is the Great Qin clan about to fall into civil strife like this?
Obviously, these people should unite to support Your Majesty the most, and only Your Majesty is their reliance.
Ziying felt more than once that his uncle and grandfather had gone the wrong way.
But he didn't know where the right path was.
After kneeling for a moment, Ziying stood up silently, he looked at a corner in the distance, and there was a touch of determination in his eyes.
"I'm going to ask, ask what the hell is going on in this world!"
"Ask me where I lay ahead!"

Penglai Chau
The gate of Linzi County
Li Xin yawned, looked at Wang Ben and said, "Have you finished what the governor asked you to do?"
Wang Ben nodded, picked up the wine jug on the side and drank a glass of wine: "Alas."
"This Rausch life is really fucking uncomfortable."
"I really want to complete the governor's task quickly, and then go back to Xianyang City."
Li Xin was indeed half-lying there, the recliner swaying with his body constantly fluctuating.
And his eyes are on the sun, in the distant sky
Gently falling on it, it looks very clear.
The warm sunshine made his heart feel more comfortable.
At this time, he felt that maybe the things of the year were really nothing, or maybe the dormancy of the year was really unnecessary?
He chuckled, "Why do you want to go back to Xianyang City?"
Li Xin said meaningfully: "Don't look at the stability as today, but the biggest turmoil has not yet come."
"This kind of turmoil is different from what you and I have experienced before, you and I are familiar with the bloody fight, but this kind of battle without swords and swords, you and I are not used to it."
"A war of words."
Wang Ben was still a little confused at this time: "What are you talking about?"
"Now that everything has settled down, and the whole world is unified into Qin, where is there any fighting?"
Li Xin sneered, "Governor Chen is changing the law, don't you see it?"
"The official system in Penglaizhou has been changed, will the official system in the court still be left like that?"
He glanced at the scholars who came in and out and said, "Nowadays, there are more and more people reading in the world."
"Will they be able to go up through the anthology?"
"There must be another way besides the anthology, and this way is the biggest source of conflict."
Li Xin narrowed his eyes: "Besides, even if you solve the matter, you will only fall into a whirlpool when you go back, and now the struggle between the clan and Your Majesty and the ministers of the court has entered a white heat."
"Everyone is waiting for an opportunity."
"Have you forgotten that you were dragged to divide the feudal system before, and then it was Prime Minister Li Cheng who saved your life?"
Wang Ben fell silent.
He shook his head: "But my father is still in Xianyang City, do I want to be in Penglaizhou for the rest of my life?"
Li Xin glanced at him disdainfully: "What's wrong with Penglaizhou?"
"Do you think it's still the past?"
"As long as you feel that you are capable, Your Majesty will appoint you as a general?"
"Those days are gone."
"You can only keep grinding and making meritorious contributions in the local area, and maybe in the future, there will be Xiongnu, Baiyue, and even more westerly countries for you to fight."
"Step by step, you will have a chance to enter the highest decision-making level of the imperial court."
"The Governor brought you to Penglai Island to give you a chance."
"Otherwise, do you really think that anyone can be the governor of the state army of Penglaizhou?"
Li Xin hated iron a little: "Okay, I won't tell you."
"I've heard some news lately, and those people are making small moves, and these small moves will soon be discovered by His Majesty."
"After that..... It's Your Majesty's business."

Huiji County
Yang Tianyi put down the paperwork in his hand, and a little fierceness flashed in his eyes.
"You mean, someone is deliberately spreading these rumors in the county, what are they doing?"
Yang Tianyi looked at the person opposite thoughtfully, with a cold expression.
Sitting opposite him was Huiji Juncheng, because of some of Chen Ke's changes, Juncheng's rights were actually greatly improved.
It's almost on an equal footing with the county keeper.
Faruo's expression was not moving, as if he hadn't seen anything, and said with a smile, "Yang Junshou said something interesting."
"How do I know what they're for?"
"I'm just a countyman."
He chuckled, took a sip of the water in the teacup, and said in a surging voice: "Don't say it, this porcelain from Penglaizhou is really a good thing."
"Governor Chen is a man of God, not only can he make a chair and a new way of making salt, but he can also make this tribute-like porcelain."
Or emotional, or with
Don't mean to say, "It's really something that ordinary people can't do."
Yang Tianyi just glanced at Fa Ruo, and his eyelashes moved slightly: "Do you know it or not, it's not a very important thing."
"It's just that I hope you don't go down the wrong path."
"Some people's promises are not credible."
But if he says, "When you say this, I know that their words cannot be trusted."
He pouted, "You don't have to worry about me going the wrong way, I'm different from them, I'm even different from you."
"You only have Great Qin in your heart, only Your Majesty, and only the Governor."
"I have these tens of thousands of Qianshou in my heart, and the Qiandu of Huiji County is in my mind."
"I know better than you that only Governor Chen and His Majesty can make them live a better life, and they will be replaced by those clans who have never seen anything, but I am afraid that they will have to loot this county town first, right?"
There was a mockery in Faruo's voice: "Even those stupid things dare to think of threatening Your Majesty?"
"I think Your Majesty is just waiting for a suitable opportunity."
Yang Tianyi just glanced at Fa Ruo, and didn't care about the ridicule in Fa Ruo's voice.
"If only you knew."
..........
Ba County
Rumors have spread throughout the county, and everyone is muttering those strange things.
And the merchant who set out from Ba County also took out what the fox had said.
And new information is gradually taking shape.
Sometimes rumors are like that.
You don't need to exert much effort at all, you just need to give a source, and the rumors will gradually become more outrageous.
For example, if you tell someone, you heard that xx from the xx family brought back a girl.
He turned his head and probably told the second person that the xx family had brought back a few daughters-in-law.
When the third person turned his head and said, he may have become the xx family who married several daughters-in-law outside, but only brought back a few.
When the fourth person is the case, the rumor may turn into this person who is very amorous outside, has a lot of love debts, but has died a lot of wives, and this is the home to flee and return to.
The rumors are so outrageous, and after processing, people tend to forget that the message came from their own mouth.
Then, something that clearly has a source becomes without a source.
That's why it's so hard to find the source of the rumors.
..........
In the city of Xianyang.
By the river, several women were pounding their clothes.
"Have you heard, there's a fox over there in Ba County?"
