The letter from Zhang Cang was finally delivered to Wang Ben, who was in the Yan Kingdom.

"Zhang Cang, ......"

Wang Ben looked at the letter in his hand with a deep groan, read it carefully, and gradually his face sank.

Zhang Cang borrowed troops from Wang Ben in the name of King Zhao to level Zhao.

The letter described in detail the current predicament of the Zhao State, and it was extremely miserable, and it seemed that Wang Ben would not be able to calm the Zhao State without sending troops.

On the surface, it looks like this......

The administration of Zhao was chaotic, the money and grain could not be collected, and the local forces were complicit, and they also secretly colluded with the local rebel teams.

The officials in the government are even more unclear about who is good and who is bad, who is loyal to Daqin, and who has different aspirations.

And the most important thing is that although Zhao Di is now a feudal country, it has become a vassal state of Zhao Si.

However, before that, Zhao Di also implemented the county system, and the largest administrative unit was the county, and there was no head.

In other words, Zhao Di did not have a formal political center and a place where money and food talents gathered.

Zhang Cang's words were sincere, and he said conclusively that if Wang Ben did not send troops, Zhao Guo might be difficult to pacify, but ......

Wang Ben is aware of Zhang Cang's talent.

In the past, Han Feizi and Li Si moved the Great Qin, setting off a big wave, and Zhang Cang was also valued by the First Emperor, and he rose from a white body to the imperial history.

are all people of the same era, and they are also officials in the same dynasty, and they have experienced the highlight moments of the other party at the same time, where does Wang Ben not know the gold content of Zhang Cang's words.

He is the brother of Han Fei and Li Si!

He's a disciple of Xunzi!

And compared with Han Fei and Li Si, who were self-reliant, Zhang Cang, who was born under Xunzi, actually did not openly deviate from Confucianism.

In other words, although Zhang Cang has been silent for many years, his appeal is definitely there.

Just by virtue of his identity, he recruited a wide range of visitors, and he didn't know how many officials and Confucian scholars were willing to follow, and the local administrative chaos was ultimately due to the fact that no one was available, but Zhang Cang's identity was here.

Coupled with Zhang Cang's personal ability, it won't take long to be able to get through the administration of the entire Zhao Land and gather the strength of the entire Zhao State together.

Zhao Di's rebellion, even without outside intervention, could be completely put down in three or two years for Zhang Cang.

So...... Wang Ben knew it very well in his heart.

Zhang Cang wanted more than just pacifying Zhao Di, the reason why he asked for help from himself was, in the final analysis, nothing more than a desire for speed.

Wang Ben is not stupid, the basic logic can still be seen clearly, but seeing clearly does not mean that he can make a good choice.

In fact, Wang Ben's popularity is not good, and he is also difficult to make this kind of taboo choice.

Therefore, Wang Ben finally decided to throw this question to his old father Wang Qian.

"Hurry up and send the message! Travel day and night! ”

Wang Ben opened his mouth to give orders, and the soldiers had to order the horses to leave.

On the other side, above Zhao Si's mansion.

Yu Ji moved away, Amber also moved away, and all the guests set off for Zhao Di, leaving only one Han Sheng, which was a little empty.

Zhao Si actually didn't have much business and industry under his account, and Zhang Cang had been in charge of these bits and pieces before, including personnel management and arrangements in the mansion.

Although there is not much business and industry, there are still a lot of bits and pieces.

Fortunately, there is still a doorman Han Sheng empty in the mansion.

Although Han Sheng was not personally kidnapped by Zhao Si, and his popularity in history was not so high, Zhang Cang recognized Han Sheng's ability before leaving, so Zhao Si also grabbed Zhuang Ding and threw these bits and pieces to Han Sheng by the way.

It's just that Han Sheng is not as trusted by Zhao Si as Zhang Cang, so Zhao Si can't help but come back to check the situation and see if Han Sheng had any difficulties at the beginning of his employment......

You have to be concerned about the new employees.

However, Zhao Si still underestimated the new employee's ability.

Zhang Cang was in a hurry, so the affairs of the mansion did not have time to be handed over to Han Sheng.

However, Han Sheng, with a white body, sorted out the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner in just a few days, all kinds of affairs were recorded, and the account books were not bad at all.

"Good job, let's wait a few days, and in a few days I will make a statement to Your Majesty and allow you to be an official." Zhao Si opened his mouth to encourage.

It's too grand, isn't it normal to stuff people?

After all, after Zhang Cang and his party left, the only thing Zhao Si could use under Xianyang was Han Sheng.

"It's not in a hurry, I haven't read all the books in the lord's mansion, but I'm not in a hurry to enter the office, it's just that the lord and the minister have a word, I don't know if I can dare to say it?" Han Sheng smiled and said.

Zhao Si's brows moved slightly, nodded and said, "Although I said it." ”

Hearing this, Han Sheng took a deep breath, and then sat upright, his gaze became extremely heavy in an instant, looking at Zhao Si for a long time before he spoke?

"Your Majesty now has the heart to establish the lord as the reserve, but when I look at the lord, I have the intention of slacking off and retreating, so there is a lot of inappropriateness."

Hearing this, Zhao Si's brows furrowed slightly.

"The crown prince is undecided, Your Majesty is my eldest father, but not my father." Zhao Si shook his head.

"Definitely!" Han Sheng also shook his head.

"Although the minister has not entered the office, he has often heard that His Majesty has always been close to the lord, and the place where the lord lived was not very much loved by His Majesty's former residence, so why should the lord be allowed to live?

The emperor has more than ten sons, and the minister has never heard of a prince who was given by His Majesty in his old residence.

It is an exception for the lord to be crowned king, you must know that Daqin is based on the county, if you don't love the lord very much, why would Your Majesty destroy the foundation?

Moreover, when he was crowned king, His Majesty said bluntly to his ministers that he loved the lord very much, and it was not a private guess by the ministers, but what His Majesty said himself.

If the minister is not mistaken, His Majesty often says that the lord and the prince are similar, if there is no heart to establish the lord as the prince, why is this? Han Sheng said seriously.

"Uncle and father are still alive, how can Your Majesty be like this?" Zhao Si shook his head.

"All in one." Han Sheng spoke.

"Does the lord think that His Majesty is a person who will destroy his foundation for the sake of emotion?"

Zhao Si frowned when he heard this, and waved his hand.

"I got it......"

"When the lord is now, it is time to forge ahead...... Han Sheng is still continuing to output.

"Needless to say!" Zhao Si interrupted Han Sheng's speech with a sigh.

Han Sheng shook his head when he heard this, and was about to continue to persuade Zhao Si.

But I only heard Zhao Si speak softly: "How can Lone not think about something like this?" ”

Han Sheng was surprised when he heard this, and met Zhao Si's gaze, which was mixed with a bit of scrutiny and complexity.

Han Sheng's heart tightened, and when he heard Qin's elegant meaning, he immediately stopped his words and bowed down to ask for guilt.

"The minister is vain, please punish the lord!"

Zhao Si has never been a fool, maybe he was very simple when he just returned from going to sea.

But it has been a long time since he returned from the sea, even if he still has a pure heart, but he followed the first emperor to observe the government and get along with Wang Jian Lisi......

Zhao Si is no longer the pure boy after all.

Han Sheng can see these obvious things clearly, how can Zhao Si not understand them?

Zhao Si looked at Han Sheng with complicated eyes and waved his hand: "I have never heard that the sage monarch has punished his subordinates because of his speech, if there is a change, if there is none, he will be encouraged, this is not a bad thing, and let's step back first." ”

When Han Sheng heard this, he sighed lightly in his heart, and bowed with a little remorse before leaving.

Zhao Si looked at Han Sheng's departing back and was silent for a long time.

In fact, he can understand Han Sheng.

Zhang Cang: They are all gone......

Zhao Si's subordinates were empty, which was a good situation for Han Sheng.

However, no matter how good the situation is, the premise is to get Zhao Si's attention.

The matter of establishing a prince is a good starting point.

This is even a matter of the next ten or twenty years.

If he can attract Zhao Si's attention in such a matter, then he will be Zhao Si's indispensable confidant for a long time in the future.

Overtaking in corners, nothing more.

However, Han Sheng may have some misunderstandings about Zhao Si.

Or rather, Han Sheng...... After all, it's not his own husband Zhang Cang.

In the same matter, Zhang Cang would only exhort Zhao Siduo to share the complicated government affairs for the First Emperor and be considerate of the First Emperor's body.

Wen Qin knew Yayi and got along with Zhang Cang for a long time, how could Zhao Si not know that this was Zhang Cang's last reminder to himself before leaving?

Zhang Cang, after all, is worried that his father-in-law is too naïve, so he has this point.

But in fact, as early as a long time ago, Zhao Si already had a rough estimate in his heart.

He was a first-hand witness to all events, and naturally knew best how much the First Emperor attached to himself mixed with expectations.

That has even gone beyond family affection, but the expectation of an heir.

Zhao Si understood, he understood everything.

It's just that he doesn't know what he should do, or rather, he doesn't know what he should do to repay the first emperor's heavy expectations.

What was once fantasized is placed in front of you, and only the person concerned understands how heavy this expectation is.

The First Emperor...... It is Zhao Si, in this world, the only real relative.

Although Han Sheng said that Zhao Si had thought of it a long time ago, but mentioning it again today can be regarded as reminding Zhao Si again.

What should he do in the face of the high hopes of the First Emperor? Or what should be done?

Zhao Si knew in his heart that the First Emperor could live a long life under the cover of his jade aura day and night, but the First Emperor did not know this.

There are many things, and there are actually differences between the grandfather and grandson.

Crown prince?

To be honest, Zhao Si actually prefers to be an idle prince, or return to his old business and start his own adventure.

However, many things in the world backfire, and Zhao Si knows that he can't slack off on state affairs, but he is a lazy character.

Rather than succeeding to the throne, he hoped that he could continue to be lazy under the wing of the First Emperor.

After all, Zhao Si saw the hard work of the First Emperor every day, and if he really wanted Zhao Si to succeed to the throne, it would be easy to let it go, but with the heart of the First Emperor and his love for his grandson, how could he let it go?

"Alas...... Compared with the so-called prince and the so-called succession, I hope that the first emperor can live a long life. ”

Everyone in the world thinks that the seventy-year-old prince is a tragic joke.

However, for Zhao Si, he would rather the First Emperor sit in that position all the time, so that he could have more space and time to do what he wanted.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Si was still slightly confused and hesitant.

Stepping out and looking up at the sky, Zhao Si suddenly missed Zhang Cang, who had just left.

Han Sheng is certainly smart, but he didn't tie it up with his own hands, and his utilitarianism is much higher than that of Zhang Cang and others.

This is understandable, after all, the world is bustling with the word fame and fortune.

But Han Sheng's performance today was a wake-up call for Zhao Si after all.

In Zhao Si's view, Fusu's supporters are likely to face the situation of a seventy-year-old prince......

However, in the eyes of the world, it is not the case after all.

After all, this is an era of longevity at the age of seventy, and who would have thought that the first emperor would be able to live a long life?

Therefore, Zhao Si thinks that there is no need, but the whirlpool around the position of the prince will still turn and intensify.

Establish a prince or a grandson?

Who will be the main one after the establishment?

Will there be a dispute between the crown prince and grandson? Will the respective parties divide and evolve into a struggle as a result?

These things are not easy to say, after all, even the First Emperor cannot go against the interests and will of everyone.

The so-called emperor and the so-called leader are nothing more than an example of the will and interests of the majority of the people.

Zhao Si paced out of the courtyard, and his younger brother Ji Cheng, who lived next to him, heard the sound and went out to see him off.

"Childe is going back?"

Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Si, whose identity had undergone a drastic change in front of him, and spoke with a complicated expression on his face.

Ji Cheng undoubtedly has feelings for his brother, and after Zhao Si later recognized him, Ji Cheng also rose step by step because of Zhao Si, and became a speaker from a concubine, which can be said to be different from the past.

It's just that Ji Cheng is emotionally conflicted in his heart, and Zhao Si ...... To be honest, he doesn't have any feelings for this younger brother who has never met, so even if he lives next to each other, in fact, Ji Cheng took the initiative to find a topic with Zhao Si.

It's called brothers, but it's quite awkward to get awkward.

Albeit...... Ji Cheng is very responsible......

Later, Zhao Si's identity made a 180-degree turn, directly became the emperor's grandson, and moved directly into the palace, and the already embarrassing two people were even more embarrassed.

Zhao Si is the emperor's grandson!

And Ji Cheng ......

He is now standing in front of Zhao Si, and he can only call him a son, not a brother.

"At home...... How's it going? Zhao Si pondered for a moment, looked at Ji Cheng, who had taken the initiative to greet him for the first time after recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, and asked.

"Father's health is still safe, and I'm so ......" Ji Cheng said slightly awkwardly.

"Hmmm......"

A short conversation, but a long silence.

"Tell me if there's anything out of the ordinary." Zhao Si nodded and decided to take the initiative to end this awkward conversation.

Ji Cheng nodded, watched Zhao Si turn around and leave, and suddenly spoke.

"Childe ......"

Zhao Si turned to look at Ji Cheng.

"My father told me a family affair, and now I have made a letter of appointment, and in two months, I will get married." Ji Cheng said.

Zhao Si heard the sound, stopped, looked at Ji Cheng standing at the door, and sighed for a long time.

"When I go back, I will ask Your Majesty to add you as a squire, the matter of the temple gate guard."

"No, I didn't." Ji Cheng waved his hand again and again when he heard this.

"Now that you have a family, you have to start a business, and this matter is decided." Zhao Si waved his hand and turned to leave.

"There are a few people around you who are trustworthy and close to you...... After all, it's less. ”
