West Side.

Early in the morning, Hu Hai came over.

He was already very familiar with Ji Heng's residence, almost never knocked on the door, pushed the door directly, and then went straight to his chaise longue, but with Fusu being established as the prince, Hu Hai could also obviously feel that he was a little left out in the palace.

It's not a good feeling.

Hu Hai also knew the current situation, so he was not very happy to stay in the palace all the time, especially Zhao Gao encouraged him to continue to fight, and he was also tireless, so he chose to go out early and return late, and stayed at Ji Heng's residence for almost half of the day.

He thought that Ji Heng's life was very boring, but after coming for a few days in a row, he also found that he had taken it for granted, Ji Heng's life was not boring at all, and it was even a little interesting.

He spends the whole day pouring other things except for the vegetable garden.

A few days ago, he saw Ji Heng scrape off the 'white hair' that grew near the thatched house, mixed it with some charcoal and sulfur, and after igniting it, not only bursts of smoke appeared, but even flashed a lot of sparks, which made Hu Hai quite surprised.

In addition to these, Ji Heng also understands life very well.

From time to time, I used a stone mill to grind some beans, and somehow, I made a piece of tofu and soy milk with a slightly dull yellow color.

A few days ago, Ji Heng showed him a trick.

It's also called a miracle!

It is to stuff a puppet into the soil, let him water it every day, and say that in a few days there will be a miracle, the so-called miracle, that is, the puppet will grow out of the soil.

Of course, Hu Hai didn't believe it.

It was only a few days later that the puppet did grow.

Just when Hu Hai's eyes were full of shock, and even when he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, Ji Heng seemed very calm, and directly pulled the puppet off the ground, revealing the true cause of the miracle, a freshly sprouted bean sprout below, and then

Directly fried!

After staying here in Ji Heng for a few days, Hu Hai's three views were refreshed one after another.

At first, he believed that there were immortals in the world, but after seeing Ji Heng debunk the so-called miracles one by one, he also began to scoff at the so-called miracles.

Miracles are just tricks of pretending to be a ghost.

Hu Hai sat in the courtyard for a while, it was three o'clock in the sun, then Ji Heng woke up, yawned and pushed open the door, for Hu Hai outside the house, just glanced at it lightly, as if he didn't see it, Hu Hai was in the spirit all of a sudden, walked over quickly, and said excitedly: "Ji Heng, what are you showing today?" ”

"What happened to the saltpeter ice yesterday?"

"I still haven't figured it out."

"Then why did the water freeze?"

“.”

Hu Hai chattered on the side.

Ji Heng rubbed his forehead, he didn't have any idea of caring about the curious 'baby' in front of him, he just did this to pass the time, and casually improve his quality of life.

He wasn't interested in talking about the ugliness of it.

He yawned and said: "According to the law of Great Qin, every five days, today should be a day off, that is, today is time to rest, as for what you saw before, they are just some small tricks to pass the time, you can see it everywhere in life, you just lack the insight to discover in the past." ”

"Just pay more attention to it in the future."

"Rest today!"

After speaking.

Ji Heng went to the back kitchen and began to heat up the cold rice.

A person's food is always difficult to make, basically a little next time in the kitchen, you can manage two or three meals, but the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and this overnight dish is becoming more and more unsuitable for eating.

Hearing Ji Heng's words, Hu Hai's eyes darkened.

But then he seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "Ji Heng, when you say this, I almost forgot, today the eldest brother gathered some courtiers together, and it is estimated that some policy resolutions will be discussed." ”

Hear the words.

Ji Heng's face was as usual.

He shoved a handful of dead grass into the stove and threw in a few pieces of dry bark, and then said with interest: "Calculate the time, it's about the same." ”

"Fusu is now the prince."

"I also went to all the major government offices."

"The formalities that should be taken are all over, and it's time to get down to business."

Hu Hai moved the recliner outside the kitchen, picked up a bamboo fan, and fanned himself very leisurely, while asking curiously: "After the eldest brother becomes the prince, those suggestions you make can be agreed?" And why is the eldest brother to deal with such a major matter, isn't it more appropriate for the father to do it? ”

Hu Hai was a little puzzled.

"The First Emperor?" Ji Heng shook his head, saw that the bark of the tree had burned, and stuffed a few pieces of firewood into it, and then continued: "There are some things that the First Emperor can do, but there are some things that the First Emperor is not suitable to do, you have to be clear about one thing, the First Emperor is the emperor, and the emperor can't make decisions easily." ”

"Because you don't joke, and you say nothing."

"Cashing in the past arrears of military merit awards, which involves millions of soldiers and millions of households, how can this be decided so arbitrarily? If it is not handled well, it will easily cause the army to mutiny, and then there will be no way out of retreat completely. ”

"Fusu is different."

"He's just a prince."

"He is now using your accident in the South China Sea to worry about the instability of the army, and use this as an excuse to meddle in the army, and at the same time, it also implies that after he takes office in the future, he is worried that the army will be out of control, so he proposes to rectify the army and solve the existing problems among the generals, which is reasonable."

"It's human nature."

"But after all, this matter is very wide-ranging, once something goes wrong, the impact will be very serious, but as I said earlier, Fusu is just a prince, even if Fusu pokes out a big basket because of this, the first emperor can rely on his super high prestige in the world to settle this matter for Fusu."

"The First Emperor is the cornerstone of the stability of the world."

"You can't take it lightly."

"The First Emperor is the last guarantee for the stability of the Great Qin world."

Hear the words.

Hu Hai was thoughtful.

He has understood, the first emperor is not unable to come forward, but it is not suitable to come forward, Fusu has a problem, the first emperor can solve it for Fusu, but if the first emperor pokes the problem, no one can come forward to solve it, and the first emperor's prestige in the world is very high, once there is an incident, the impact on Daqin will be too great.

Therefore do not act rashly.

Hu Hai said again: "Ji Heng, what did you tell your brother a few days ago?" ”

Ji Heng smiled, with a playful expression: "It's just that I did some precautions for Fusu in advance and fulfilled military merits, and the courtiers of Great Qin may not want to solve it, many of them don't seek merit, but they want to be innocent, and this matter is very involved, they won't want to take risks." ”

"They prefer to leave the matter to someone else to settle the matter."

said.

Ji Heng raised his head and looked at the sky.

The other side.

The side hall of Yonggong.

Fusu General Li Si and other ministers of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries summoned all of them to their palaces.

Du He and Yao Jia glanced at each other, and there was a cold color in their eyes.

They had expected it.

After Zhao Gao reminded them at the beginning, they had already thought that there would be today, but they were still very curious, what did Fusu want to do when he summoned them over, and what would he say?

Enter the temple.

Fusu has long been sitting on top of it.

He bowed his hand slightly to the courtiers below, and said with a smile: "I summoned all the ministers here this time, I really have important matters to discuss, and I ask you not to mind." ”

Everyone bowed their hands and said, "Your Highness is polite." ”

Fusu glanced at Wei Sheng, and Wei Sheng immediately understood, stepped down from the high platform, and closed the palace door.

Looked at.

Everyone's eyes were slightly condensed.

But he didn't say anything.

Fusu apologized: "Some words are better behind closed doors." ”

As he spoke, Fusu waved his hand and asked Wei Sheng to present the bamboo slips he had prepared earlier to these ministers.

Li Si and the others raised their eyebrows.

They stretched out their hands to take the bamboo slips handed over, and they didn't hesitate, they opened them directly, but after a few glances, everyone not only frowned.

These are the two notes sent by Zhao Tuo a month ago.

It is clearly written that Hu Hai's attack was an accident, and the army has long known that someone is colluding with the Baiyue people, but they are deliberately planning to induce the Baiyue people, and then annihilate the remnants of the Baiyue people entrenched in the Lingnan area in one fell swoop.

It's just that Fusu showed them this note, what is it for?

Du He and Yao Jia secretly exchanged glances, and their brows couldn't help but tighten, what Fusu is doing now is almost the same as what Zhao Gao reminded some time ago.

Fu Su said solemnly: "The note that I just let the ministers see is the note that General Zhao Tuo presented to His Majesty a month ago, which clearly states that the attack on my younger brother was an accident, and at the same time, after my younger brother was attacked, General Zhao Tuo sent a copy of the note for the first time, and the situation of the general's collusion with the Baiyue people was clearly explained. ”

"The generals and soldiers who colluded with the Baiyue people have been cleared out within this month."

"Just."

"Do you think my youngest brother's attack was really an accident?"

When the words fell, the hall was silent.

All the courtiers present were silent.

Li Si, Feng Qujian and the others frowned, and there was a solemn look in their eyes, the meaning of Fusu's words was obvious, and he was not convinced by Zhao Tuo's performance.

He believes that there may have been changes in the military.

It's just that although they are courtiers, they don't interfere much in military affairs, so what did Fusu want to tell them about this?

Everyone speculated secretly.

Be silent.

Yao Jia arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks about this matter?" But His Majesty asked His Highness to ask the ministers for advice? ”

Fusu glanced at Yao Jia, and said with a relaxed face: "Your Majesty has every opportunity, and he won't pay attention to this, but as Hu Hai's brother, how can I turn a blind eye to this?" ”

"This matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty."

Yao Jia said solemnly: "Your Highness, since Your Majesty has no objection to this matter, it is enough to prove that General Zhao Tuo's words have been approved by Your Majesty, why does Your Highness want to do more?" ”

"Again."

"General Zhao Tuo has written a few months ago, and will crusade against Baiyue again in the near future, and completely drive the Baiyue people in the Lingnan region away from Lingnan, the war is imminent, but the prince is suspicious of the main general, this is true and some should not be, the minister is bold, please don't be suspicious, if it is introduced into the army, I am afraid that it will be criticized for a while."

"This will also damage His Highness's reputation."

Fusu smiled and nodded: "So these words can only be said behind closed doors, as long as you don't say it, this matter will not be spread, I believe that the ministers will not spread Fusu's nonsense for a while." ”

Hear the words.

Yao Jia and Du He looked at each other slightly.

Fusu's words were really a bit unexpected.

It's not at all like Fusu's past style.

Fusu has always been straightforward in the past and would never make such a small move, but this also makes everyone even more suspicious, wondering what Fusu wants to do.

Fusu said: "The war in the South China Sea is about to start, and I know about it. ”

"I won't affect this battle."

"It's just that I'm not convinced by the notes presented by General Zhao Tuo, you may not know that these two notes were sent to the court one after the other, almost a few days, and even as long as you are willing to pay the price, you can arrive on the same day."

"Does this mean that there is something else going on in my younger brother's attack?"

Fusu spoke calmly.

Li Si helped his beard and said in a deep voice: "What does Your Highness want to say?" Now that His Highness has chosen to close the door, why is he so secretive? ”

Fusu chuckled, nodded and said, "This is what Fusu owes to consider." ”

"Fusu doesn't think much about it."

"I don't think the attack on Hu Hai in the South China Sea was an accident."

"I also think that there may have been some changes in the army, especially when my younger brother was distributing money and rewards in the army, there were soldiers who coaxed and asked when he would be able to return to Guanzhong."

"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country must not be overlooked."

"I Fusu is the prince of Great Qin, knowing this, how can I stand idly by, since the Shang Jun changed the law, Daqin has been implementing the 'ploughing war', of which the war is the most important, the army is also the cornerstone of the stability of the world in Great Qin, and there must be no problems."

"There can't be a problem!"

Fusu's face became serious, even with a bit of authority.

He continued: "I don't know what happened in the South China Sea, and I don't know if what General Zhao Tuo said is the truth, but as far as I know, the South China Navy has gradually become unstable, which the court will never allow and must not continue to ignore. ”

"Whether the South China Sea army has something to do or nothing to do, it can't continue like this."

"The military has to make some changes."

"And I have been to the Beiyuan Army, and I have also gone deep into the grassroots of the army, and I have learned about the specific situation in the army, the army has a strong sense of homesickness, and it is difficult to move to the homeland, but the Beiyuan Army has General Meng Tian in charge, and there has been no commotion or fork, but the South China Sea is different."

"The environment in the South China Sea is difficult, the morale of the soldiers is low, and the morale of the soldiers has also dropped greatly."

"If this continues, even if there is no change now, there will definitely be variables in the future, it's just a matter of time, this time they will challenge Hu Hai in public, and they may not challenge me in the future, the actual situation in the army must be understood as soon as possible, and it must be solved as soon as possible."

"I've summoned you here for one thing."

"Delivering on promises made in the past."

"Take Daqin's millions of sharp soldiers home!"

"Anything that may happen in the general is completely snuffed out."

"You are all the ministers of your father's emperor, and you are also the founding heroes of the Great Qin Empire, and you are very familiar with the political affairs of the world, so this time I want you to think of a way for Fusu."

"To appease the unrest in the army, and to solve the military merit that has been overcome."

"Fusu bye."
