Lobby.

Hu Hai sat down calmly.

Ji Heng went to the kitchen and served Hu Hai a bowl of rice.

Compared to Qindi's corn, he still prefers to eat rice.

Hu Hai looked at the rice with a slight yellow stain, his brows furrowed slightly, but at this time he was really hungry, and he was not so particular, picked up a wooden spoon, and ate it in a big gulp.

It's just that his eyes are firmly on the side of the dish.

When Ji Heng went to serve himself a meal just now, he sniffed secretly, and the aroma he smelled when he entered the house was from this dish, but he was very curious, what Ji Heng was stir-frying.

Why is it so fragrant?

Seeing Hu Hai's curious and undaring appearance, Ji Heng couldn't help but smile: "If you want to eat, just scoop it with a spoon, don't look pitiful, although I am not rich, but you can still manage your little food." ”

Hu Hai blushed.

He argued: "I'm curious, why does your fried stuff smell so good?" Is the food fried in the iron pot really better and smelling better than other cooking utensils? ”

said.

He took a spoonful with a spoon.

I just don't dare to eat it.

Ji Heng glanced at it speechlessly, shook his head and said: "The things fried in the iron pot will indeed be better than the dishes made by ordinary utensils, because the heating is more uniform, but you can't understand this, you only need to understand one thing, the iron pot stir-fry is the general trend in the future." ”

"It will gradually become mainstream."

Hear the words.

The corners of Hu Hai's mouth twitched slightly.

He felt that Ji Heng was a little whimsical.

Ji Heng's iron pot was forged with the strength of dozens of blacksmiths in Xianyang, and this is an iron tool, which is contraband in Daqin iron, how can it really be popularized to ordinary households?

Moreover, Daqin's iron production is simply not reached.

Ji Heng seemed to guess Hu Hai's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You don't have to believe it, iron will only get cheaper and cheaper over time, because the world's iron production will be higher and higher, although the iron consumption will continue to increase, but in the end, it will indeed fall from the original contraband to ordinary products step by step." ”

"Iron is contraband in Daqin."

"But what Daqin really forbids is actually only A!"

But before Ji Heng finished speaking, Hu Hai jumped up directly from the seat, his mouth was wide open, his cheeks were even redder, and he couldn't stop jumping to his feet and said, "Spicy and spicy." ”

Then he didn't need Ji Heng to remind him at all, he ran directly to the courtyard, drew a bucket of water, held the bucket and drank it in a big gulp, and there was a 'sizzling' sound in his mouth from time to time.

Ji Heng's complexion was slightly different.

At the same time, he sighed secretly in his heart.

Hu Hai's appearance, if it is put in Shaanxi in the future, I am afraid that it will be regarded as a fake Shaanxi person.

Of course, this kind of evil thought, he just thinks so.

He still eats lightly

Stir-fried meat with chili.

I'm going to say it's stir-fried meat with Qin pepper.

Qin pepper is used as an ornamental plant in Daqin.

However, Ji Heng didn't let it go, because this thing is indeed very similar to the chili peppers of later generations, but the sample is more like the sharp peppers of later generations, but the spicy taste is still very real.

As for the taste, under the stir-fry of salt and oil, it is only slightly different and does not affect the consumption.

Long.

Hu Haicai came back with a 'sizzle', staring at Ji Heng with resentment in his eyes, and said speechlessly: "Ji Heng, this thing is so spicy, why don't you say it in advance, the spicy tongue is almost unconscious." ”

"I can't be poisoned."

"Slightly toxic." Ji Heng opened his mouth very calmly, and put a chopstick into his mouth as he spoke.

Hu Hai's face darkened.

He took another sip of cold water, and did not swallow it, but just wrapped it in his mouth, but soon felt a hot pain again.

"This thing is poisonous, and you still eat it." Hu Hai was speechless.

"Poison doesn't kill people, people are not so fragile." Ji Heng didn't seem to care at all, and said with a smile: "Didn't you go to Lingnan, I remember that there are all kinds of fruits and vegetables over there, and there are all kinds of fungi, many of which are poisonous, but if they are cooked properly, they are also quite delicious." ”

"If you have the opportunity in the future, you can actually try it."

Ji Heng is full of expectations.

He calculated the time, it was late June, and it seemed to be the time to eat mushrooms, but he was now in Xianyang, but there was no way to go over.

I have to be fascinated by one or two in my heart.

Hu Hai's face darkened.

He thought that Ji Heng didn't know that this thing was poisonous, but not only did he know, but he even wanted to eat those poisonous mushrooms, which made him completely speechless.

Ji Heng: This is already crazy!

Ji Heng was eating Qin pepper fried meat, but he was thinking about the mushrooms in his heart, and suddenly a long-ago bad taste suddenly surged in his heart, he wanted the blind man to eat the mushrooms, and then he was very curious about whether a colorful world would appear in front of the blind man after eating the mushrooms.

Hu Hai didn't know Ji Heng's thoughts, if he knew, he was afraid that he would be even more crazy.

When Ji Heng mentioned Lingnan, this also made Hu Hai suddenly remember the purpose of his coming, sat down with a bucket of cold water, and asked: "Ji Heng, when you talk about Lingnan, I came to you this time, and it really has something to do with Lingnan." ”

"I was attacked and killed in Lingnan!"

"And I received an anonymous submission in Lingnan."

"It is very straightforwardly written that there are hundreds of Yue people in the army, and the target seems to be Zhao Tuo, the chief general of the naval army, but when I told my father about this, my father counted me down and showed me that Zhao Tuo sent a few days ago, and it was written that the Southern Navy knew about this situation."

"But I always felt that something was wrong."

"What do you think?"

Hear the words.

The cynicism on Ji Heng's face retracted, and there was a little more solemnity between his eyebrows, he looked at Hu Hai, lowered his head and pondered for a while, shook his head, and said slowly: "Whether Zhao Tuo has different intentions or not, in fact, it doesn't matter, what matters is what the first emperor thinks, and the court will think so." ”

"But my father seems to be very convinced of Zhao Tuo's performance." Hu Hai hesitated.

Ji Heng chuckled lightly and said noncommittally: "Don't speculate on the thoughts of the First Emperor, and don't listen to what the First Emperor said one-sidedly, it depends on what the First Emperor will do next." ”

"Does Zhao Tuo have any different intentions?"

"Yes!"

"But he didn't dare to fight back."

Hu Hai frowned, a little incomprehensible.

Zhao Tuo has different intentions, why don't you dare to rebel?

Ji Heng put down the chopsticks in his hand and said lightly: "Zhao Tuo is a person who does great things and regrets his life, he does not have the will and determination to rebel, and the soldiers in his hands are not his Zhao Tuo's personal private soldiers, but the private soldiers of the First Emperor, and the soldiers of Great Qin will not really obey him." ”

"I just listened to your words, I'm afraid I will use all the tips I gave you."

Hu Hai nodded repeatedly.

Ji Heng said: "The words I gave you have a strong appasing effect on the soldiers, and they will also dispel their resentment against the Qin Court, but it will also cause some people with ulterior motives to be dissatisfied, so there is a follow-up accident for you, if Zhao Tuo really has the heart to move you, it is impossible for you to come back alive." ”

"So Zhao Tuo has no murderous intentions towards you."

"I don't dare to kill you, to be precise."

"Zhao Tuo is a relatively fearful person, with heart but no courage, unless the real situation has arrived, he will never dare to be truly self-reliant, and even if he is under pressure, he will be full of uneasiness."

"However, as you said, Zhao Tuo actually has different intentions."

"It's inevitable."

"With an army of 500,000 and more than 500,000 households, and all the authority of the three counties, anyone will have some ideas in their hearts, Zhao Tuo is a human being, how can he not have the idea of being a king and an emperor?"

"It's just that Zhao Tuo is self-reliant, and he really doesn't have the courage, at least he doesn't dare to have this idea at the moment, but he has such a big power in his hands, and he makes some small moves behind his back, so that he can be the 'soil emperor' of Lingnan, he still has this kind of courage."

"But this kind of thing can't be put on the table."

"Once it is exposed, Zhao Tuo will be extremely panicked in his heart, and he will try his best to clear up the involvement, and even be willing to break his tail to survive."

Speaking of which.

Ji Heng also shook his head.

Zhao Tuo was a wavering person in history.

Much like some people in later generations, in the face of the woman they like, they know that they don't have a chance, but they always can't help but step forward to tease, if they are found by the owner, they will immediately blush their necks and completely cut off contact with each other, but they will miss it from time to time in the future.

Hearing Ji Heng's words, Hu Hai's eyes were cold.

To be an emperor?

Zhao Tuo also deserves to have this ambition?

Ji Heng retracted his mind and continued: "The matter of the South China Sea will not be concluded so easily, Zhao Tuo has ideas and thoughts, but he is afraid that he has already been informed by the First Emperor, although Zhao Tuo will try his best to clear up his involvement, and even try his best to clear his own problems, but military power is the bottom line of the First Emperor." ”

"No one should touch it."

"Zhao Tuo has touched the bottom line of the first emperor this time."

"Zhao Tuo's military career is basically over, as for what will be done in the end, it depends on the mood of the first emperor."

"But Zhao Tuo's situation is also a good thing."

"Because that's what 'change'!"

"Change?" Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, the last time Ji Heng spoke to Fusu, he was there, and he listened to it really, if Daqin wants to implement Ji Heng's set of ideas, there needs to be 'variables'.

But now Zhao Tuo has given this 'change'.

Hu Hai said excitedly: "You mean that my father can use this to implement what you said before?" ”

Ji Heng nodded and shook his head again.

He said in a condensed voice: "Your understanding of power is too shallow, and the ideas I said will indeed be of great benefit to Great Qin in the future, but for the First Emperor, what he cares more about is power." ”

"As for the rest, it's just incidental!"

"And as far as I can see, the First Emperor won't do anything now."

"He'll just wait."

"Wait?" Hu Hai was stunned and a little puzzled.

Ji Heng nodded, and said meaningfully: "The First Emperor will wait for Zhao Tuo to take the initiative to admit his mistake and admit his guilt." ”

"Ahh Hu Hai's eyes widened, a little anxious, and said, "If Zhao Tuo admits his mistake, wouldn't it be like this?" I have suffered so much grievance in Lingnan? How can it end like this? ”

Hu Hai was full of impatience.

Ji Heng looked at Hu Hai and rubbed his eyebrows.

Hu Hai is really simple-minded.

He explained: "Zhao Tuo's admission of mistakes does not mean the end, but the beginning. ”

"If there is a mistake, it means that a mistake has been made, and if a mistake is made, it means that there is a problem, and the court will know where the problem is, and it will have a reason and opportunity to solve it."

"The court will change because of this."

Hear the words.

Hu Hai was thoughtful.

After Ji Heng said this, he reacted.

He said: "You mean that my father will use this matter to get the courtiers to agree to some things, but Zhao Tuo admits his mistake, and it is only limited to Zhao Tuo, or in the army, how will the court change?" ”

His eyes were fixed on Ji Heng, eager to know Ji Heng's answer.

Ji Heng shook his head and said: "This time the matter will not be limited to Zhao Tuo alone, nor will it be limited to the army, but will fall to the court." ”

"Great Qin's court is sick."

"Need healing."

"The next thing the First Emperor has to do is to find the root cause of the disease, so as to treat the symptoms well, so what the First Emperor is waiting for is Zhao Tuo's confession, and he is also waiting for an opportunity to make a move."

"And the reason why the First Emperor said you were wrong before."

"The reason is that the first emperor only has one note in his hand, and it is not enough to rely on one note, so Zhao Tuo was not wrong at that time, and naturally it is impossible to be convicted because of you."

"But not necessarily in the future."

Hu Hai was thoughtful.

Immediately, he was curious: "What if Zhao Tuo doesn't admit his guilt and admit his mistakes?" ”

"Zhao Tuo will definitely admit his mistakes and admit his guilt." Ji Heng said with certainty: "Zhao Tuo is very cautious, he doesn't dare to anger the First Emperor easily, and he also knows very well that the First Emperor's status in the hearts of the subjects of the world, if you encounter an attack in the South China Sea, but he doesn't say anything, that is the real change in the South China Sea." ”

"He didn't dare do that."

"So in the end, Zhao Tuo will definitely go to the book."

"I will definitely take the blame for the crime, and even submit the situation in the South China Sea one by one, in order to reassure the First Emperor that he will not dare to provoke the First Emperor."

"For the sake of self-protection and survival, he has no choice."

"It's just that Zhao Tuo's political vision is not long-term, and he is destined to be limited in his life, and he is also destined to become a sword that the first emperor will pry the world in the future."

"But Zhao Tuo himself is unaware."

Hu Hai scratched his head.

He didn't understand much.

It's a bit foggy, but he understands one thing, and he seems to have made a meritorious contribution in the South China Sea.

He was reassured.

was counted down by the First Emperor for a while, and he was also frightened, but now after listening to Ji Heng's words, his worried heart was completely put down, and he even had a little joy.

Time.

He even felt that Qin Jiao in front of him was also pleasing to the eye.

But it is impossible to eat it again.

Looked at.

Ji Heng pondered for a moment and decided to persuade Hu Hai a few words.

He said: "Hu Hai, do you still have thoughts about the position of the prince?" ”

Hu Hai's face froze.

He hesitated for a moment, admitted it to his face, and said calmly: "I actually don't have much interest in the position of the prince, but I am a little dissatisfied in my heart, the eldest brother has clearly done a lot of wrong things over the years, but my father has always entrusted him with important tasks, I am clearly more favored by my father than the eldest brother, why did my father choose the eldest brother?" ”

"I don't accept !!"

"I don't think I'm worse than my big brother either."

"If my father entrusts me to do the things that are handed over to my eldest brother, I may do it better than my eldest brother, and I also know Qin Law better than my eldest brother, and I understand my father's mind better."

Hu Hai looked arrogant.

Regarding Hu Hai's words, Ji Heng still approves.

Hu Hai grew up, and what he watched the most was Qin Law, and it can even be said that he was fluent in answers, and with Zhao Gao on the side to figure out the thoughts of the first emperor for him, Hu Hai was indeed the best at pleasing the first emperor.

But Hu Hai apparently didn't realize one thing.

It is not the same as being an emperor to please the emperor.

Hu Hai doesn't have this talent.

Ji Heng said in a condensed voice: "You actually said something wrong. ”

"The First Emperor didn't like Fusu."

"How is this possible?" Hu Hai's face was full of disbelief, in his heart, this was simply impossible, Fusu was contrary to the first emperor's political views before, and he spoke back many times, scolding his father's anger, but the first emperor still trusted Fusu and handed over many important political affairs to Fusu.

Can this still be disliked?

Ji Heng shook his head and said solemnly: "You mistook one thing, as a father, many of Fusu's actions are unpleasant, and even disgusting to the First Emperor, but as an emperor, it is not just personal likes and dislikes that are important. ”

"It's the world!"

"Taking the world as a heavy responsibility, it's not just talking."

"Also."

"Among the dozen sons of the First Emperor, none of them are really suitable as successors, because the stalls of the First Emperor are too big, too mixed and too messy, and they are not at all something that you sons can afford, and even the so-called Ming Jun can't do it, and you must be a holy monarch and a tyrant to resist."

"Fusu is just the least bad of you."

"But it's just not bad."

"As for your other sons, they are inferior to Fusu, and the sons may have ambitions and desires, but they don't have the guts, and they don't dare to give birth to ideas, how can they afford to take on the heavy responsibility?"

"As for you"

Ji Heng paused, but just shook his head.

Hu Hai looked slightly embarrassed.

Ji Heng continued: "Great Qin, the successor that the empire needs, will have to bear an extraordinary burden next, but this is what the master of the empire must bear. ”

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!"

"You can't afford it."

"In addition, there are many people inside and outside the empire who are peeping, both bright and dark, assassination, attack, and conspiracy, and this is what the empire needs to face, and you are not good at handling the attack and killing this time."

"You don't even dare to face this kind of thing right now, so how can you talk about facing a bigger scene?"

"The prince of Great Qin is not so easy to be."

"As the future successor of the empire, from the moment he became the prince, he was destined to be ready to play games with the people of the world, even if one day, the saber teeth are in the throat, he must be fearless and calm."

"Fusu has really changed a lot during this time."

"But not enough."

"He governs the world, and he can only do it without deterioration, but if he wants to govern the world well, he can't do it by himself, and he doesn't have such a huge force to support it."

"You don't really need to be obsessed."

Ji Heng shook his head.

It is normal for Hu Hai to be ambitious.

It's just that time is not on Hu Hai's side, and what Daqin needs is a successor who can support things.

Hu Hai can't hold it up now.

The First Emperor didn't have that much time, waiting for Hu Hai to grow up, and how long the First Emperor's body could last, no one knows, if the First Emperor didn't survive until Great Qin was stable, the successor of the empire would take over a mess.

An extremely grim and urgent mess.

Hu Hai's heart is not bad.

It's just that for now, he's not quite suitable.

Hu Hai was silent, and after a long time, he wondered: "Why did you suddenly tell me this, you obviously never asked before?" ”

Ji Heng was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You have also heard those thoughts of mine before, so it should be clear that those ideas will eventually weaken the glory of the courtiers, and therefore will also be opposed by the courtiers, but it is difficult for the First Emperor alone to completely condemn death." ”

"Because the First Emperor will die."

"If you want these policies to be fully implemented, you must let the successor of the empire, that is, the prince of Great Qin, also stand firmly on this side, so that the courtiers will completely break their minds."

"So Daqin needs to consider Lichu!"

There is something today, there has been a high incidence of fraud recently, so let's remind your family to beware of fraud.
