"It's really good, I never thought that Zhao Qing was still good at cooking." Hearing the sound, Fusu took a chopstick and fried yellow beef, and issued a sincere compliment.

"This kid can eat, and now the chefs in the palace are all from Zhao Si." The First Emperor nodded.

Because of Zhao Si, the stiffness between the father and son of the First Emperor seems to be much less.

Fusu was very curious about Zhao Si, and there were indeed a lot of things about Zhao Si, and Zhao Si became the focus of conversation between the first emperor's father and son.

Although the conversation between the father and son is still a little blunt, they talk about many things around Zhao Si.

The Five Grain Garden, the Animal Garden, the Magical Amber, the Aviation and Trade Military Palace, the distant Ye Diao Country, and the overseas magical waves......

Zhao Si seems to be a lubricant, and the original jerky stiffness has changed.

The father and son haven't seen each other for many years after all.

Even though both of them are donkeys, the family affection between father and son cannot be faked.

However, Fusu stayed awake all night after all, and after a morning passed, it was already difficult to hide the predicament, and the first emperor noticed this, and finally waved his hand to signal Fusu to leave.

"Stand back and rest." The First Emperor spoke in a deep voice.

Fusu was really sleepy enough, so he didn't shirk anymore, and bowed down and bowed to retreat.

Fusu is gone, Zhao Si naturally no longer stays in the palace, Zhao Si has a lot of things to do, such as going back to sleep or something.

Although entering the palace is almost the same as going home for Zhao Si, the palace is not as comfortable as at home after all.

After Fusu and Zhao Si left one after another, only the First Emperor was left in the house.

Looking at the folds piled up on the case, the First Emperor was silent for a moment, and then picked up the brush again and began to review official business.

It's just that it can be seen that between the eyebrows and eyes of the First Emperor, there is a lot more lightheartedness.

In the following days, everything was as usual, and Fusu's return to Xianyang caused a certain sensation, but compared to Heibingtai's in-depth enforcement of the order to move the king's tomb.

The First Emperor issued a summoning decree ordering all the nobles who were on the list of the emperor's tomb to start leaving within three months, and they must arrive in Xianyang within six months.

As the actual executor of the decree of moving the king's tomb, the names of Liu Bang, Lu Xuan, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang began to be praised by people all over the world.

Of course, not a good reputation.

Holding the royal decree, first cutting and then playing, the noble family used all means, including but not limited to selling miserably, bribery, collusion with the government, and armed resistance.

However, Liu Bang used iron-blooded means to suppress everything.

Those who don't follow, kill them!

The interference of the local government was ignored by the Black Ice Terrace.

The armed resistance organized by the nobles was like a mantis arm as a car.

During the period, there were frequent bloodsheds, and Liu Bang achieved a great reputation for murder, and because of this, wherever Liu Bang's foursome went, the nobles' families could only start to move like a lost property.

Of course, because of Liu Bang's overly ruthless methods, the reputation of Hei Bingtai is not much better.

Regarding the weakness, Liu Bang's four-person group, and even the impeachment of the Black Ice Platform flew like snowflakes to the case of the First Emperor.

Well, it's not just the impeachment of the Black Ice Table.

Someone has already begun to impeach Li Si as the corpse of the right prime minister of Great Qin.

Right Minister, the head of a hundred officials!

And the Black Ice Terrace, a violent institution exclusive to the imperial power, is undoubtedly a knife on the heads of hundreds of officials.

In order to complete the blueprint in his heart, Li Si deliberately connived, or the reason why Hei Bingtai has today's murderous reputation is all promoted by Li Si.

What does this mean? It means that there is a traitor among the hundred officials, and this traitor is also the head of the hundred officials.

If I had to make an analogy......

It is probably equivalent to the first assistant of the cabinet during the Ming Dynasty who took the initiative to build Jinyiwei.

Li Si, of course, will be greatly implicated.

"Now the Black Ice Platform is really notorious, and there are many discussions about Li Xiang in the court."

In the Aviation Trade Military Mansion, Zhao Si looked at the second-in-command of the Aviation Trade Military Mansion who had just been promoted, and said with a smile.

"How can anyone who achieves great things be uncriticized?" Uncle Sun Tong smiled.

Obviously, Shusun Tong has no opinion on Hei Bingtai or even Li Si.

It has been a while since Shusun Tong was promoted to become the second-in-command of the Aviation Trade Military Government.

In fact, many Confucian disciples have written about the Black Ice Terrace because of this, and Shusun Tong is an outlier of Confucianism, and he did not go to the book, and even privately expressed his approval of the Black Ice Platform to Zhao Si.

It's hard to say whether it's sincere, but it's certain that if the First Emperor appointed Shusun Tong to be in charge of the Black Ice Platform, Shusun Tong would definitely gladly accept the order.

Shusun Tong has never been a corrupt Confucian, and compared to most Confucian disciples, Shusun Tong's bottom line is quite flexible.

"Right now, the envoys of Ye Diaoguo have been in Xianyang for five days, when does Shangqing plan to meet them?" Uncle Sun Tong fooled Zhao Si's inquiry, and he brought it up to business.

The diplomacy of Ye Tiaoguo was taken over by the Shipping and Trade Military Government, and Ye Tiaoguo's envoy set off from Langya and arrived in Xianyang five days ago.

However, Zhao Si did not meet Ye Tiaoguo's envoys for the first time, but hung them for a few days.

Although after talking with Zou Feng, the diplomatic strategy of befriending Ye Tiaoguo in the early stage has been determined, but friendship does not mean that Ye Tiaoguo's previous provocation can be happily skipped, nor does it mean that Daqin will let go of his body because of this.

"After five days, it's almost enough......," Zhao Si pondered for a moment.

"Let's go!"

Shusun Tong smiled and nodded, and walked with Zhao Si towards the post station where the envoy of Ye Tiaoguo lived.

The distance was not very far, the carriages and horses were traveling, and in less than a moment, Zhao Si and Shusun Tong had already arrived at the post station of the envoy of Ye Diaoguo.

There was a post station stationed in the soldiers to send a message, and within a moment, Ye Diaoguo sent a total of sixteen envoys to Daqin.

Ma Ha looked at Zhao Si, who was richly dressed and burly in front of him, and said with a lame salute: "I've seen this Shangguan!" ”

Maha and his entourage are considered to be senior intellectuals of Ye Tiaoguo, and after the truce with Daqin, Maha was responsible for contacting Daqin, so he also learned Chinese.

From the beginning of contact with Daqin to the acceptance of the important task of envoying Daqin, almost a year has passed, and Maha can be regarded as the Great Qin of Ye Diaoguo.

It's just that after only a year, Maha's Daqin official speech is still lame, and if he says it too quickly, he can't understand it at all.

As for the choice of words and grammar, there are also big problems.

Overall, though, there aren't too many problems with communicating.

"No need to salute, I am Zhao Si, the secretary of Great Qin, and I am also the leader of the Trade and Military Mansion, which of you is the official who sent the envoy to Great Qin?" Zhao Si asked.

Ma Ha simply translated Zhao Si's words in his mind, and immediately realized the dignity of Zhao Si's identity.

He may not understand what Shangqing is, but he knows too well what the Aviation Trade Military Government is.

The sea ships that fought with Ye Diaoguo belonged to the Navigation and Trade Military Government, which was something that Maha knew before he came to Daqin.

"I am in charge of this envoy to Daqin." Maha replied with another salute.

Zhao Si nodded and looked at Maha in front of him, in fact, he could see that compared with others, Maha was obviously more pampered.

"You have come all the way from Ye Diaoguo, but you are not accustomed to the water and soil? Are the officials satisfied with your reception? Is the food here to your taste, is it rude to serve the slaves who serve your daily life, and is Daqin's hospitality thoughtful? Zhao Si asked with a smile.

Before Ma Halai came, he was ready for Daqin to contact the negotiators to ask for the guilt, after all, it was Ye Tiaoguo who started the border provocation and was not received by Daqin for five days, to be honest, Ye Tiaoguo's mission was a little flustered.

Now that Zhao Si came, the first thing he did was to ask them with a smile how they felt, and Ma Ha felt a little calm, so he replied with a smile on his face: "The environment here is very beautiful, the food is also very palatable, Daqin's hospitality to us is very good, and we don't feel that there is anything wrong." ”

"Oh......" Zhao Si nodded.

"In this case, then why did Daqin's sea ships come to the sea area of Ye Diaoguo, but Ye Tiaoguo entertained Daqin with blades and bows and arrows, Daqin pays attention to being guests from afar, and has never started a war for no reason, I asked privately, and I didn't ask the reason to provoke the border, is this the hospitality of Ye Tiaoguo, is it that Ye Tiaoguo regards my Daqin soldiers as unfavorable?" Zhao Si restrained his smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze was fixed on Maha.

Ma Ha saw Zhao Si's face change suddenly, and Xingshi asked for the guilt, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead for a while.

On the way here, the Ye Diao delegation had already seen the strength of Great Qin with their own eyes.

Cities, roads, soldiers, this is the most intuitive symbol that can reflect a country's national strength.

This is definitely an empire that is more powerful and prosperous than the Peacock Empire under the leadership of Emperor Ashoka, and it is definitely a country that Ye Tiao Kingdom must not provoke!

Not to mention, Ma Ha also knew through understanding that the current Great Qin, under the leadership of the First Emperor, had just destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world.

And the most frightening thing is that such a king who destroyed the six kingdoms and ruled the world is still alive.

Compared with the Peacock Empire, which is already the third generation, the war mobilization power of Great Qin, who has just dominated the world, is beyond doubt.

Maha would never doubt the terrifying strength of a great empire that ruled the world with a monarch still alive.

"This is Ye Tiaoguo's mistake, please allow me to defend it!" Maha swallowed and whispered.

"The king of your country rules the world, and all the seas are subservient, but the king of the contempt country is not like this, it is difficult to make an effective clamp on the local princes, the king of Ye Tiaoguo is my brother, please believe what I say, I believe that you must be able to understand that the king of Ye Diaoguo is not like the emperor of Great Qin who can rule the Quartet......

The nobles who fought with Great Qin without permission have been executed by my brother, this is our sincerity, Ye Tiaoguo is willing to pay the price for it, and I beg Great Qin to forgive us for our mistakes. Maha spoke sincerely.

This is something that Maha thought about along the way when he came.

Shift all the blame to the nobles who provoked the border, so as to exonerate themselves, and then find a way to get Daqin's forgiveness.

"The dignity of the emperor cannot be offended, you are the brother of the monarch of Ye Tiaoguo, I believe you can understand this truth, is it possible that in this case, can it be solved with just an apology? If he couldn't feel Ye Tiaoguo's sincerity, Daqin wouldn't mind continuing to wage war with Ye Tiaoguo! Zhao Si pressed forward step by step.

"We are willing to make compensation for it to change our sincerity, and I hope you can allow me to meet the emperor of Great Qin, so that I can confess my guilt to your emperor in person, explain our guilt, and show our sincerity." Maha spoke.

"Obviously, I don't see your sincerity!" Zhao Si glanced around and walked away, leaving only his uncle and grandson Tong still standing in place.

Ye Tiaoguo's delegation also looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"Since you have prepared a gift to seek our Majesty's forgiveness, why didn't you prepare a gift for our lordship? Is there any other way for you to see our King? ”

Uncle Sun Tong looked at the Ye Tiaoguo delegation who was looking at each other and said quietly.

Maha and the others were stunned when they heard this, Maha realized something, and patted his head with a little annoyance.

"Thank you for your advice, may I ask which Shangguan are you?"

"Me? Confucian disciple, uncle and grandson Tongya! A warm smile appeared on Shusun Tong's face.

Compared with Zhao Si's burly body full of oppressive force, Shusun Tong looks much warmer.

One sings red-faced, the other white-faced, this is something that was discussed before coming.

Zhao Si Shiwei, and his uncle Tong Shide, as for the First Emperor, the First Emperor only needs to accept the apology from the envoy of Ye Diaoguo, and then Kuku stamps the next diplomatic regulations.

As for what diplomatic regulations can be obtained, it depends on the uncle and grandson.

Zhao Si believes that Shusun Tong will definitely make them understand what is the Confucian way of a humble gentleman.

Zhao Si wants to plunder resources, and Zhao Si wants to dump culture.

Force can only be conquered for a while, and if you want to make the prestige of Great Qin spread far and wide, culture is also a very important factor.

In this era of the ascendant, Ye Tiaoguo, who did not have his own native culture, was not the opponent of Great Qin.

The only one that barely deserves attention is the Mauryan Empire, which ruled the entire Indian subcontinent.

Now the Buddhist Mauryan Empire has risen, because of the vigorous promotion of Ashoka, not only the Indian subcontinent, but also the Indonesian archipelago region, which is closely related to the Indian subcontinent, has gradually become popular.

According to the course of history, in a few hundred years, Buddhism will sweep the surrounding areas, well...... With the exception of the Indian subcontinent, Buddhism, the birthplace of Buddhism, has completely disappeared.

Obviously, the battle for culture is also to be fought.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Great Qin is destroyed, it will not be able to rule these regions in the true sense, but it may not be impossible for future generations to do it.

As long as culture can influence the place, it can be said to be since ancient times.

And now is the most suitable time to establish an order that belongs to Great Qin alone.

Confucianism pays attention to education, and the cause of missionary work is not necessarily inevitable.

Ma Ha and others may not be unwary of Shusun Tong, but Shusun Tong's rank is not something that Ma Ha can play.

As for Zhao Si, Zhao Si finally got the cotton he was thinking about, and he had already gone to the grain garden at this moment.

(India is also the origin of cotton, and I think it makes sense that Indonesia, the Indian subculture, has cotton.) ）
