Chapter 693: The Li Clan
"Father, do you think the eldest son will be made the crown prince?"
It was getting dark, and Li Si, who had just returned home from his official business at the Tingwei Mansion, hadn't even eaten yet, when he was startled by Li Yu's question.
He glanced around and saw that there were no outsiders on his side, so he relieved his heart and glared at Li Yudao: "This is a major matter of the country, you don't have to talk nonsense outside." ”
"I understand, it's not just our father and son who are at home to talk about it. I see that the emperor summoned the eldest son back in advance, and entrusted him with the responsibility of relocating the nobles of the Three Kingdoms clans, which is to let the eldest son participate in politics in advance! ”
Li Yu's expression was full of excitement.
The emperor let the eldest son participate in politics and do things, this is an obvious signal, if it is not for him as a candidate for the crown prince, the emperor has nothing to do.
Because of the relationship between playing Qin cards, Li Yu and Fusu have a good relationship.
If this brother-in-law can become the crown prince, he will even eventually ascend the throne and become the second emperor of Great Qin.
Then he Li Yuke is a real relative of the emperor and the country, and his soaring prosperity is just around the corner.
Seeing that his son was so happy, Li Si stroked his beard under his chin and said, "You are right, the emperor does intend to train the eldest son to participate in politics and do things. And this is a test, if the eldest son can pass it successfully, then he will be able to become the crown prince. By the way, during your time in Xianyang, have you paid attention to the rest of the sons? ”
Li Yu said with a smile: "Father, rest assured, among the older sons, Gongziwen and Gongziwu are not from a good background, and they are not favored by the emperor. Gongzi Gao, Gongzi Jianglu and others have mediocre qualifications and no talents, and as for other little sons, they are not worth mentioning. If you talk about the emperor's favor, I am afraid that only the son Hu Hai can compare with the eldest son, but Hu Hai is too young, so he doesn't care. ”
"Hu Hai ......"
Li Si thought of the little boy who the First Emperor had authorized to follow the Eastern Tour, and shook his head with a smile.
Although the first emperor doted on his young son, no matter how much he pampered him, he would not be dizzy and hand over the country to a child who only knew how to play every day.
Hu Hai's threat to the throne is indeed not worth mentioning.
Li Siluo groaned, and then said: "You should follow the eldest son during this time and help him do things, if you have any matters, just come and ask me." You must show my Li family's support for the eldest son. ”
Li Yu was stunned and said: "Isn't my father no longer suspicious?" The Emperor's side ......"
"In the past, the emperor's mind was undecided, and my Li family naturally didn't want to express too much of it. But now that the emperor has been injured in Chudi, he already has the intention of cultivating the eldest son to take over the government, and at this time, our support can help the eldest son better consolidate his position. ”
"And since the eldest son is my Li Si's son-in-law, even if I don't help him at this time, can I get rid of the in-law relationship between the Li family and the eldest son?"
Lis's eyes narrowed.
In addition to the reasons he said, the most important thing was that he found that the eldest prince and the martial arts marquis Zhao Tuo were very close.
In the era of Qin Shi Huang, his Li family's status in the court was not comparable to Zhao Tuo.
If you don't try to behave before Fusu ascends the throne at this time, then when Fusu ascends the throne in the future, between the Li family and the Zhao family, who will be more favored by the second emperor?
Considering this stubble, Li Si's original idea of observing one or two more things was dispelled.
He had to win Fusu's favor and increase the Li family's support for the eldest son.
Sending charcoal in the snow is naturally much better than icing on the cake.
Thinking of martial arts Hou Zhao Tuo, Li Si couldn't help but think of his poor son.
"Doesn't your brother want to come back?"
Lees asked softly.
Li Yu smiled bitterly: "I went to see my brother, and he said that if you don't live in the mansion given by the emperor, you won't live up to the emperor's grace." ”
"This kid."
Li Si's teeth itched, although when Li You was at home, he was always angry when he saw it, and he wanted to kick out of the house with both feet.
But the other party really moved out, and his old father couldn't help but worry.
"Okay, now that you've moved out. Then set the marriage for me as soon as possible, it just so happened that the emperor gave me a mansion, and I didn't even need to buy a house. ”
……
A large mansion in Xianyang.
At dusk, Li Youji, the chief of the right house, sat in the courtyard in front of the house.
As he watched the sun set in the sky, he kept pouring the wine in his hand into his mouth.
In Li You's mind, the news that had just returned to Xianyang two days ago came to mind.
The Qin general Ren Huan had already led his army to break through the southwest Yi, attacked near Dianchi Lake, killed the anti-Qin king of Dian, occupied the land of Dian, and expanded the territory of Qin again.
Yelang, Kunming, Ailao and other small Yi countries, seeing that the Dian Kingdom was destroyed, immediately released the Qin army prisoners who had been defeated by Li You and fell into the hands of the Yi people under the authority of the Qin army.
At the same time, these small states also killed the anti-Qin faction in their country, and sent their heads, as well as the specialties of the Southwest Yi, in order to win the understanding of the Qin emperor.
The Qin army attacked the battle of Southwest Yi and won a complete victory!
It is said that when the emperor announced the news in the court, he couldn't even close his mouth when he smiled.
and announced on the spot that after letting Ren Huan settle down in the southwest, he would lead the victorious army to triumph.
The entire Xianyang City was overjoyed by Ren Huan's victory.
Countless Qin people were talking about this victory, saying that the Qin army had four battles in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and finally all of them were victorious.
At this time, it is inevitable that some people will use Li You, the former Qin general who attacked Southwest Yi, to compare with Ren Huan.
In comparison, it is inevitable to mention that on the battlefield of Chu back then, Li You chased and killed the right Sima of Chu State, and finally cheapened Ren Huan.
"Odd Numbers...... Sure enough, it's a strange ......."
Li You muttered.
If it weren't for Shuqi, why would he not end well every time he fought, and he always had to fall short at the last moment.
And twice in a row, he failed first, and Ren Huan succeeded last.
This matter is completely out of common sense.
Not to mention that in addition to the battlefield, after he was re-promoted to Zhonglang by the emperor, he was immediately assassinated.
Although Li Si tried to use Zhang Liang's plan to enlighten, how could Li You be completely relieved in his heart.
"Now that my arm is gone, I can't hold any more posts regardless of civil and military affairs."
Li You poured a sip of wine into his mouth, looking at the luxurious mansion he was in now, and the bitterness on his face became even stronger.
The emperor gave him a reward of 600 gold, six handmaidens, a mansion, and raised his title by two levels to become the right concubine, which can be described as a great reward.
Otherwise, there is no follow-up.
If nothing else, he, Li You, is afraid that he will finish his life in this mansion with the title of the right chief.
"Is this my Li You's life?"
"The number of strange things is not determined by heaven, mortals cannot fight!"
Li You roared into the sky, venting the frustration in his heart.
Then, something suddenly occurred to him.
Recently, it has been widely spread to cultivate immortals.
It is said that mortals can become immortals through cultivation, and they can be immortal and at ease.
Li You originally didn't believe in these things, but the existence of Shuqi made him more awe of these mysterious things.
Not to mention, the emperor seems to be quite interested in this thing, and has many rewards for Lu Sheng, Xu Shi and other scholars.
"Mortals who cultivate to become immortals can change the fate of birth, old age, sickness and death. Then can my strange life be changed through cultivating immortals? ”
Li You's eyes lit up, as if he had found a way out of a desperate situation.
"Someone, prepare a prayer post for me, I want to visit a few monks in Xianyang City!"
……
The eldest son, Fusu, was worshiped by the emperor and ordered to preside over the migration of the princes and nobles into the customs, which naturally reached Zhao Tuo's ears.
Even within two days, Fusu came to visit Zhao Tuo's mansion, and after some greetings, he asked Zhao Tuo about the relocation of the princes and nobles this time.
Faced with Fusu's question, Zhao Tuo groaned slightly, and said: "For this migration, the local counties and counties have already been listed, and there are recruited soldiers along the way to escort those old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, so there is no need for Gongzi to worry about this." The only thing Childe has to do is to ensure that these people do not cause trouble after moving into Guanzhong, how to arrange and arrange this matter to settle down as soon as possible, this is the time to show Childe's ability. ”
Fu Su bowed his head and said: "What the prince said is that I should divide the area for them in advance in the Six Kingdoms City according to the list of those nobles, and ensure that everything is in order, and this matter can be successfully completed." ”
"Hmm."
Zhao Tuo nodded, then stared at Fusu and said, "It's just that the son must pay attention to something." ”
Fusu wondered, "What's the matter?" ”
"Merciful!"
Zhao Tuo's voice was categorical.
Li Si could see that this matter was a test for the emperor.
He, Zhao Tuo, can naturally see it.
As long as you pass this level, it will not be difficult to become the crown prince of Fusu.
"Gongzi acts this time, remember not to show grace to these old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, otherwise you will violate the emperor's taboo!"
