When the battle report from the outside of the Saiwai army was rushed to Xianyang by the Xinqi day and night, the capital of the majestic empire was immersed in joy.

The eldest princess in the house.

Yingyin lay lazily on the bed, her soft hair was scattered, and there was a different kind of beauty in her casualness.

In her hands she held several pages of yellow paper full of words, letters from her loved ones outside the Saiwai.

"This Zhao Tuo can't always change the habit of flamboyant tongue, how can he write these embarrassing things on it, what if he is seen by others."

Ying Yinyan's face turned crimson and took a sip.

She looked up, and when she saw that there was no one else in the room, she looked again at the letter in her hand.

Ying Yinyan held these pages of letter paper tightly with both hands, like the most precious treasure in the world, looking at it again and again, her face was full of smiles.

A moment later, a nurse came to the door with a baby wrapped in swaddling arms and whispered, "Princess, the child is hungry." ”

"Well, let's take it."

Ying Yin Yan smiled.

She always remembered that Zhao Tuo once said that breastfed children will have a deeper relationship with their mothers and will have better growth and development for their children.

So even though there are several nurses in the princess's house, Yingyin still insists on feeding herself.

She looked at the little baby in her arms, looked at the little facial features that looked like Zhao Tuo, and her eyes became extraordinarily gentle.

"When you grow up, you have to be like your father and be a big hero who stands up to the sky."

……

After the news of the Qin army's victory outside the fortress spread.

In the mansion between the left and the left, several high-ranking people are holding a gathering of old friends.

"Ahhh The general has won another big victory, and my black buttocks really want to follow the general to fight outside the Seychelles! ”

The right man with a long black buttocks in front of a group of friends, after drinking the wine in the glass, beat his chest and feet, and howled and cried.

Seeing this, Shima, Zhong Liyi, Lu Juan and others rolled their eyes.

Li Shang is still young and a ranger, so he said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Black Buttocks only accepted a concubine a few days ago, and now he drinks wine and food all day long, and has a beautiful wife and concubine in the mansion, and his life is very enviable, why do you want to go to fight outside the bitter cold." ”

Black Buttocks glared at him and said, "What do you know! Do you think that this day of holding a beautiful woman every day, drinking wine and eating meat is what my black buttocks want? Let me tell you, the happiest thing in my black buttocks life is when I was still in the end of my life, and I followed the general to attack Yan Kingdom! ”

"At that time, although I was just a nobody, and I didn't even have a knighthood, I was able to live in a camp with the general, and listen to the general's teachings every day, and now I think about it, it is really the best thing in the world!"

"Shibuma, do you say yes, I still remember that you were poor and didn't even have a futon at that time, and the general took pity on you and let you into his bed."

Black Buttocks said, looking at Shiruma tastefully.

Shiruma's face was as usual, but his eyes were a little red, and he seemed to be able to hear a faint voice of "with his son" in his ears.

He said lightly: "Okay, the general's victory in the Northern Expedition is a matter of joy, we are gathered here to congratulate the general, why bother to say these words." ”

"We are all old generals, and now we are in the official positions of lieutenants in Beijing, so we can't easily seek war, so as not to be truthful. You see, this time, except for Brother Zhao Guang who escorted the soldiers to join the army as a county lieutenant, Xi Qi, Bai Rong, Zhang He and others were all Sima and Bing Cao from other counties, and they had no chance to participate in the war, everyone was the same, and there was nothing to complain about. ”

The black buttocks pursed his lips and said no more.

Instead, after Zhong Liyi drank a bottle of wine, he asked Shima a topic: "Brother She, I heard that after the construction of the Chi Road to Longxi was successful, I intend to build another road to the north to facilitate the transportation of grain and soldiers to the land of Beihu?" ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Shiruma.

Several of them mainly served in the lieutenant and guard system, responsible for the Beijing division and the Qin palace guards, in terms of news, they were not as well-informed as those who served in the Taiwei Mansion.

After thinking about it for a while, he thought that this matter was not a top secret, and many departments already knew about it, so he bowed his head and said: "Yes, this year, the general conquered the Hu people, dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, and required a lot of grain and straw, and the roads along the way were either the Gobi Desert or the mountain valley roads, which were steep and difficult, resulting in great transportation losses. ”

"Jinshang intends to consolidate the defense line after recovering the northern Xinjiang and immigrate to the real border, so he ordered the Taiwei and several ministers to discuss the construction of a road, which leads directly to the northern Xinjiang through the mountains and valleys, so as to facilitate subsequent military operations and immigration plans. The route of this avenue is still under negotiation and has not yet been decided. ”

Lu Juan praised: "The trench mountains and valleys lead directly to the northern Xinjiang, and the emperor is going to do another big thing." Nowadays, in addition to the war, it is very difficult for us to be promoted to the rank of meritorious service, and the construction of this avenue should be regarded as a great achievement for the person in charge, but I don't know who the road builder is? ”

Shima shook his head and said: "It's not decided yet, let's not talk about this, let's have a toast and congratulate the general!" ”

"Okay, let's congratulate the general!"

Everyone raised their wines and toasted each other to the general's victory outside the fortress.

……

In the mansion of Lieutenant Lis.

Li Si, who is in his sixties this year, sits in the middle of the room, and the desk in front of him is full of golden oranges.

It's the beginning of autumn and September, and it's the ripening season for his favorite oranges, and there are dipping sauces and pasta dishes next to them, which look quite delicious.

It's just that at this moment, Li Si doesn't have the slightest intention of wanting to feast.

He looked at Li Yu, who had just come back from outside the mansion, and said with a serious expression: "The eldest prince has given up admonishing the emperor, right?" ”

Li Yu nodded hurriedly and said, "I have already relayed my father's words to the eldest son, and he feels that what my father said is that he is not ready to admonish." ”

Hearing this, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter originated from the Yan and Qi Fang warlocks from the East.

Yan and Qi are close to the sea, known as the fairy island in the sea, and the legends of immortal gods and immortals have always been believed.

King Yan, King Qi and others were all loyal fans of this group of magicians, and their influence can be seen.

With Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, this group of Fang Warlocks was also recruited to Xianyang, among which the famous ones were Hou Sheng, Lu Sheng and others.

These people have their own means of currying favor with the king, and they have seen that the first emperor has a desire for immortality and yearns for immortals.

They often publicized strange things, and used some strange tricks that made it difficult for people to explain the principle, so that the First Emperor trusted them.

With the general leading the army out on the expedition, and the Qi palace in Weibei is about to end.

Lu Sheng and others seized this opportunity and stood up to give advice to the emperor, saying that the construction of a palace in Weinan symbolizes the heavenly pole crape myrtle wall, and Weishui corresponds to the heavenly Milky Way, which can benchmark Xianyang with the heavenly palace, which should prove the mandate of heaven of Qin and show the supreme position of the emperor.

Qin Shi Huang has always been good at this, and he thinks so.

When the construction of the palace of the Six Kingdoms was not finished, he once again conscripted conscripts and overhauled a new palace in Guanzhong to symbolize the "emperor star" in the sky.

At the same time, because of the relationship between Weishui and the Milky Way, he also expanded the compound road bridge built on the Wei River in the era of King Zhaoxiang to resemble the Tianji Pavilion Road.

This is another large-scale construction project.

Although Li Si knew that building these palaces would not be beneficial to the country, he knew more clearly that this was the will of the First Emperor.

Legalism has always respected the emperor.

And after the unification of Qin, the imperial power reached the extreme.

The will of the emperor is everything.

Whatever the emperor says, it is.

Not to mention that this matter is also related to the Heavenly Extreme Emperor Star, corresponding to sensitive things such as the Mandate of Heaven, he Li Si did not dare to speak on this matter.

In the court of the Qin State, the ministers were all old rivers and lakes who had gone through ups and downs, and in this case, they kept their mouths shut and let the emperor repair his new palace.

The ministers did not say anything, and the conscription rose again, and Guanzhong built a large number of buildings, and recruited the heads of Qiantou to serve everywhere.

Such a scene made Fusu, who was the eldest son, feel inappropriate.

Standing in the position of the eldest son of the Qin State, he felt that now the empire was conquering the Hu people with hundreds of thousands of troops outside, and there were various counties in it to gather the people to build Chi Road, and at the same time they were also implementing various unification projects, which had already made the people restless, and the head of the Qiantou was tired of running for his life and died on the road, which can be described as miserable.

And the original location of the Six Kingdoms was decided, and the people's hearts were unstable, in this case, the emperor still had to overhaul the civil engineering and build such a high-standard palace, which was not beneficial to the country, and was completely damaging the interests of the Qin State.

Fusu believed that as the eldest son of the Qin State, it was his duty to advise his father when he made such a move.

But Fusu was mentioned by Zhao Tuo, and he was no longer so reckless, Zhao Tuo was not there, and he was not good at discussing.

Li Yu, his brother-in-law who often plays with himself, is a different path.

Fusu informed Li Yu of his intention to persuade the emperor, so as to obtain the opinion of his own wife.

When Li Si heard Li Yu's words, he was startled.

His concubine married the eldest son, they are Weng's son-in-law, the two are natural allies, and Li Si is naturally very attentive to Fusu.

Li Si hurriedly relayed many of his words through Li Yu and persuaded Fusu to come down.

He estimated that if Fu Su Zhen stiffened his head to persuade the emperor, he would probably be reprimanded, and his weight in the emperor's heart would be reduced.

"The palaces of the six countries have been repaired, and it is not a big deal to build another letter palace, as long as the emperor likes it, there is no need to be angry for some small people."

Li Si said to himself in his heart, he knew that Fusu was quite compassionate, and if he stayed in Xianyang, he was afraid that he would have another conflict with the First Emperor in the future, which was really nerve-wracking.

Li Yu saw his father's appearance, rolled his eyes, and guessed a rough idea.

He smiled and said, "Father, I heard that the emperor wants to build a great road, all the way through the mountains and valleys, to the northern Xinjiang, this is a huge project, after the completion of the merit. ”

"And my Qin clan does not have military merits, and it must not be a subordinate membership, although the eldest son has been crowned now, but there is no meritorious service at all."

"It's better to persuade the eldest son to ask for his life and ask the emperor to preside over this avenue project, so that the eldest son can not only get meritorious service and be far superior to the princes in the future, but also keep the eldest son away from Xianyang and avoid doing anything else."

Li Si was stunned for a moment, then reacted, looked at his son, and said with a smile: "Your idea is like shooting two birds with one arrow, which is really good." ”

"Let the eldest son leave Xianyang and preside over this great project of monasticism. Not only can it accumulate merit for him, but it can also let him see more of what the real world is like along the way.

"When he sees more scenes of the Qianshou Violent Corpse Wilderness and human life like mustard, he will get used to it when he thinks about it, and he will just change his temperament."

"The common people are nothing but tools of the ruler."

"The emperor of the empire cannot have compassion."

Li Si said lightly, a ruthless light flashed in his eyes.

"Records of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty": 27 years...... Yan as the letter palace Weinan, has changed the letter palace for the pole temple, like the pole of the sky.

"Sanfu Huangtu": The first emperor was extremely poor and extravagant, built Xianyang Palace, because of the Beiling Camp Palace, the end gate was four up, and the purple palace was like the emperor's residence. Weishui runs through the capital, like Tianhan. Cross the bridge to the south, and take the cow by law.
