With the departure of the First Emperor.

The courtiers walked out of the main hall one after another.

Liang Xianggong, Du He and others walked together, talking and laughing, and seemed very calm and calm.

Li Si glanced at a few people lightly, did not show any expression, and left directly, as for Shi Lu, Yu Shide and others, looking at the courtiers who gradually distanced themselves from each other, their brows furrowed slightly, but they didn't say anything, just buried their heads and left directly.

Side.

Zhang Cang, who was wide and fat, walked at the end.

He saw the situation in the temple in his eyes, and this was actually expected.

He sighed softly, his eyes full of wistfulness.

Then.

Fusu walked over, and he said with a smile: "Why is Zhang Yushi sighing? Is it because I helped Su back to Xianyang and didn't go to see you? ”

Hear the words.

Zhang Cang smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Your Highness said that you are laughing, the reason why the minister sighed is just that he feels the injustice of God, and he actually sent down such a vision at this time. ”

Hearing Zhang Cang's words, Fu Su frowned.

He was a little puzzled: "What does Zhang Yushi mean by this?" ”

"Why did this court meeting make Zhang Yushi so trembling? Isn't this a matter of controversy? However, it is a little strange that the Manchu ministers did not talk much about this celestial phenomenon, nor did they give many solutions to it, but instead argued about 'theology'. ”

Zhang Cang held his forehead slightly.

He looked around cautiously, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, you underestimate this court meeting, this court meeting is no less than the original dispute over the division of counties and counties, and it is no less than the royal and domineering dispute when His Majesty first took power, but His Royal Highness was in Lingnan in front of him, and he was a little sensitive to the situation in the court. ”

"But it's time for Your Highness to take it seriously."

"Please also ask Zhang Yushi to elaborate." Fusu's face was straight, and he hurriedly asked.

He really didn't take it to heart.

When he was in Lingnan, he heard that there was something happening in the world, and he was more worried that the remnants of the Kanto region would use this to criticize the government, or to encourage people's hearts and cause unrest in the world, but when he returned to Xianyang, he found that the court was calm, as if he did not take this matter to heart.

So he was at ease.

Hearing Zhang Cang's words now, he suddenly became alert.

Zhang Cang did not speak.

Instead, he led the way, and when the two of them went to a secluded place, they arched their hands again: "There are many people with mixed eyes, and it is inconvenient to talk about this, so I deliberately found a secluded place, and asked His Highness for forgiveness." ”

Fusu waved his hand and said, "Why did Zhang Yushi say this." ”

"It's just that I also ask Zhang Yushi to explain the details clearly to solve the confusion in Fusu's heart."

Zhang Cang bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, this court meeting is actually the political opinion of the courtiers. ”

"And this divide of opinions, as I said earlier, has happened twice."

"The earliest time was when His Majesty was just in power, but at that time it was about the royal road and the domineering, when the Prime Minister Li Cheng of the Hequ Order, had entered the eyes of His Majesty at that time, so there was a follow-up battle in the court, and His Majesty still had doubts about the road of royal domineering."

"I don't know much about that fight, and I can only barely talk about it."

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Period" induces the people."

"If the people are of the same mind, then the king will be scruples, and he will be lenient to the people, and he can also stabilize the Qin law."

"This is what the then Minister of State Lü Buwei did."

At that time, Li Si privately proposed that the common people have always been in awe of Qin Law, and they are friendly to leniency and probation."

"Reverence and affinity, who chooses and who abandons, this is what Your Majesty needs to decide."

"In the final analysis, it is actually the choice between the royal road and the domineering, the royal road respects the people's heart, that is, the heart of heaven, and if the people support it, it will win the world, and the hegemony is to strengthen the army and fight for it, and rely on strength to dominate the world."

"The outcome of that controversy, Your Highness is clear."

"Domineering wins."

"And in the next few months, such as Lü Buwei and others, through his family, his descendants will never be allowed to serve as eunuchs for the Qin State, as for Lü Buwei's disciples, all of them were exiled to Bashu, like Cai Ze and others were also directly resigned and told of old age, and then there was no news."

"But that's just on the surface."

"In fact, there is a continuation of this controversy, and the continuation is the eviction order."

"Lü Buwei was born in the Kwantung region, and a large number of Kwantung people were used during the dynasty, although in the first cleanup, His Majesty expelled Lü Buwei and his disciples from the court, but there are still many officials in the court who uphold the concept of Lü Buwei's philosophy, so there is an expulsion order."

"Under the eviction order and the expulsion order."

"Many of the Kanto people who occupied the court hall were cleared."

"Since then, Your Majesty has completely taken over the power and has also achieved a balance between the court and the court."

"The monarch and the ministers are united, and Great Qin then swept through the six countries and unified the world."

"This is the first time that there has been a political division."

"It ended with the death of Lü Buwei, Cai Ze's resignation, Xiong Qi's rebellion, and nearly half of the people in the Kwantung region who went to the court."

Hear the words.

Fusu looked serious.

It was the first time he had felt the consequences of political differences so intuitively.

Zhang Cang then continued: "As for the second time, it started from the founding of Great Qin and the dispute between counties and counties. ”

"After a long struggle, it has actually become a dispute over Taoism."

"That is, the battle of the roads."

"In the court, it was the battle between the court lieutenant Li Si and the then prime minister Wang Juan, for the first time, His Majesty single-handedly ruled out the public opinion, and decided the county system, and then for a few years, there has always been criticism in the court, so there was the court meeting a few years ago."

"Under these two battles, Prime Minister Wang Juan lost and has since retired from the court."

"At the same time, a group of old ministers also retired, but on the surface it was more like a Confucian disaster, but it was actually a political difference."

"Now it's the third time."

Mentioning this time, Zhang Cang's expression was slightly different, and he said with some uncertainty: "This court meeting is actually a little sudden, even a little abrupt, judging from His Majesty's actions over the years, His Majesty actually didn't think about causing this dispute at all, and there is no need for this at all." ”

"What Daqin has been advocating all these years is to 'take righteous punishment and morality' as the primary task to deal with disasters, and at the same time not to abolish sacrifices and maintain reverence for the sky, at present, the path chosen by Daqin has not appeared any problems, and it is not time to change at all, and the imperial court does not have to make such a big move."

"Just do what you used to do."

"But this time, His Majesty is unusual, not only taking the initiative to pick out the matter, but also directly picking out the bright side, as if to change the current stable situation, which is really a bit weird."

Zhang Cang scratched his head.

He actually didn't understand something.

He could sense that the path that Da Qin had chosen was problematic, but at the moment it had not reached that point at all, let alone that kind of imminent danger, not to mention that there were so many tricky things that Da Qin needed to deal with now, there was no need to provoke new problems.

He didn't figure it out anyway.

He thought about it for a long time in the past few days, and finally found only a reasonable explanation.

It's just that His Majesty is in a hurry.

wants to completely solve the hidden worries found in the shortest possible time and clear all obstacles for the prince, but this approach is too sudden and too abrupt, which is easy to backfire, and will cause another turmoil in the court, which is completely worth the loss.

Could it be that Your Majesty's health has deteriorated?

Zhang Cang shook his head.

He didn't dwell on it.

Zhang Cang said calmly: "No matter what Your Majesty thinks, now that the controversy has been provoked, it is destined to come to a result, combined with the results of the previous two major disputes, this time may not be an exception, and it will definitely cause a significant change in the court officials." ”

"His Royal Highness is the prince, his status is special, and his words and deeds are extremely influential."

"And His Royal Highness used to be close to the Kwantung forces led by the Chu family, but most of these forces uphold the doctrine of the Mandate of Heaven, but His Highness has refuted the Mandate of Heaven in the court today, and I am afraid that these officials will be further alienated because of this."

"This is actually not good for Your Highness."

Hear the words.

Fusu was thoughtful.

He had come to his senses from his previous state of confusion.

He said solemnly: "In your opinion, what is Your Majesty's intention?" ”

Zhang Cang smiled wryly.

Where could he have guessed?

If he had guessed, he wouldn't have trembled.

And that's where he's confused.

If His Majesty really cleared the way for Fusu, he definitely shouldn't have provoked a dispute at this time, wouldn't this be a dilemma for Fusu?

Moreover, this is a political point of view, and politically it is a life-and-death struggle, and after this operation, Fusu's voice in the DPRK has not only not been improved, but has been further weakened.

It's weird!

And if this matter is not handled well, it is easy for the court to fall into infighting, isn't this a mess?

He just couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Cang said: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, how can your subordinates guess? But since Your Majesty has done this, there must be a reason for Your Majesty, but it is just that I am in the whirlpool of the court, even if I want to stay out of the matter, I am afraid I will not be able to do it. ”

"Still."

Zhang Cang paused, he looked around vigilantly, leaned over to Fusu, and said in a low voice: "I heard in the past few days that His Majesty went out of the palace a few days ago, and I am afraid that this incident is inseparable from Ji Heng, if this is the case, there must be a follow-up, but we will be kept in the dark for a short time and at the mercy of others." ”

Zhang Cang's eyes were full of sighs.

He used to boast that he was talented.

But in front of Ji Heng, he really has no temper.

He couldn't guess at all, he couldn't figure out Ji Heng's thoughts, and he didn't know Ji Heng's calculations, anyway, when the curtain fell, Ji Heng's calculations often succeeded, which was what Zhang Cang admired the most.

Hear the words.

Fusu's heart moved slightly.

He arched his hand towards Zhang Cang and thanked: "Fusu, thank you Zhang Yushi for reminding me, if it weren't for Zhang Yushi's reminder, I'm afraid I haven't taken this court meeting seriously, and I'm afraid it's really going to be bad." ”

"Fusu is grateful."

Zhang Cang hurriedly stretched out his hand to lift Fusu up, and said with a bitter face: "The minister has already been branded with the name of His Royal Highness now, and everything the minister has done is actually just for self-preservation, and I ask Your Highness not to punish the crime." ”

Hearing Zhang Cang's words, Fusu's face was slightly embarrassed.

Zhang Cang has his current situation, and he has an inseparable relationship with him.

Fu Su coughed lightly, and said with a somewhat unnatural face: "Zhang Cang, I didn't think about it, but if Ji Heng really participated, there should be no problem in this matter, you can rest assured." ”

Zhang Cang nodded.

Forthwith.

Zhang Cang seemed to think of something, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness actually really needs to pay attention, because of the matter of Guanshan Hai, Your Highness has already had disputes with some courtiers, and now you are in a political position again, and the situation is gradually unfavorable to Your Highness." ”

"But it's because it's a political opinion."

"Your Highness can actually secretly observe that those courtiers have disagreements with Your Highness, and those officials have the same opinion as Your Highness, which is actually not a big personnel screening."

Hear the words.

Fusu was thoughtful.

He nodded, "I remember." ”

Zhang Cang bowed his head and arched his hand: "Since His Royal Highness has understood the stakes and stakes, the minister will not continue to stay longer, and there are still many political affairs in the official office that need to be dealt with urgently, so the minister will leave first." ”

Zhang Cang saluted respectfully and left directly.

Fusu watched Zhang Cang go away.

He stood in place, his brows furrowed, and said in a condensed voice: "If it is really as Zhang Cang said, this time the matter was done by the father and Ji Heng, then what is the purpose?" At present, there are endless rumors in the city, but the court has not made any response. ”

"It's kind of weird."

"And I'm inexplicably caught up in it right now, which is really what Ji Heng expected?"

Fusu was a little suspicious.

After a moment of silence, Fusu still gave up.

He patted the snowflakes falling on his body and walked directly towards Yonggong.

The other side.

Zhao Gao walked out from the shade of a tree.

He looked at the empty temple door with a sneer in his eyes.

He sneered: "Your Majesty, are you really old and confused? Is there really a need for debate about this celestial phenomenon? The fight was still fruitless, but the court officials were divided into two columns, but it was a fulfillment of me, if there was no court meeting this time, I don't know who to win over next, but now it is simple and clear. ”

"Maybe God will help me."

"Haha."

Zhao Gao laughed a few times, and he was in a very happy mood.

In fact, he has been trying to draw the focus to Ji Heng, but Ji Heng's residence is monitored by the attendants, and it is impenetrable, he has never found a way, but he didn't expect that there would be a dazzling guard in the world, and the first emperor seemed to have lost his mind, and he avoided this celestial phenomenon and made wrong decisions again and again.

Time.

The court officials were divided.

Fusu was also directly involved.

And Fusu had offended some officials before, and now he has political differences with many officials, but this gave him an opportunity, if he can grasp this opportunity, he may not be able to win these people over, and he may not be able to bring Fusu down at that time.

Forthwith.

Zhao Gao's eyes showed a touch of melancholy.

He didn't persuade Hu Hai a lot this year, but Hu Hai didn't enter the oil and salt, and he couldn't listen to it at all, which also made Zhao Gao very annoyed, and even he had the idea of changing his son, but this idea was just born, so he directly dispelled it.

He didn't know the other sons.

Other sons may not believe in themselves.

If it is leaked out, he will be a mere eunuch, and he will probably be executed on the spot.

Zhao Gao took a deep breath to calm himself.

He said in a deep voice: "The reason why Hu Hai is unwilling at the moment is just because the chance is slim, once there is a real chance, I don't believe that he is not moved, this is the emperor, the supreme emperor." ”
