One winter.

The imperial court was planning the affairs of this tour.

At the beginning of February, the plan for the fifth tour of the First Emperor was completely decided.

The ministers who went on patrol with Yingzheng were: Prime Minister Li Si, Tingwei Shi Lu, Dianke Yao Jia, Zhisu Neishi and so on, but among the officials who accompanied him, one of them was actually a little unexpected by everyone, that is, Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Prefecture who had already existed in name only, and continued to accompany him this time.

Furthermore.

The young son Hu Hai also followed by his side.

When the news of these two people following came out, there was actually quite a lot of controversy between the DPRK and China.

First, Zhao Gao had already lost power, and the first emperor had basically not let Zhao Gao drive in the palace; Second, Zhao Gao's position has long been occupied by other eunuchs, and many people have long believed that Zhao Gao will be dismissed because of this, and now the sudden reuse is also unexpected by many people.

However, many people also guessed that the first emperor used Zhao Gao's thoughts.

The first few times he patrolled, Zhao Gao was driving, and when he was in Bolangsha, it was with Zhao Gao's superb driving skills that the first emperor turned the danger into a disaster.

It's just that Hu Hai is a little abrupt.

The imperial court has appointed a prince.

It stands to reason that other sons should avoid it, so as not to arouse the minds of all parties.

However, in this winter, Hu Hai first used the excuse of fulfilling his original promise to meet with the non-commissioned officers who returned with Fusu in the court, and then walked around the court many times, as if he did not know about the current situation in the court, and many officials had heard about Zhao Gao's back, so he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.

And this time, Hu Hai followed the parade, which made many officials think about it.

Meanwhile.

The person who stayed behind in the political affairs of the Xianyang General Department was the right prime minister Feng Quji, the imperial historian was weak, and the one who guarded Hanguguan was Meng Tian, who temporarily led the military affairs of Xianyang, and the person who commanded the prisoners of Lishan Mausoleum was the general Zhang Han.

Fusu only assisted the right prime minister.

Although this arrangement surprised many people, it was just that the candidates had already been decided, and the courtiers did not dare to speak out in vain.

The second day of February.

This day is an auspicious omen.

There is a folk proverb: 'On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head.' ’

Therefore, on this day, Yingzheng officially started his fifth grand tour.

The grand chariot rumbled out of Xianyang, and thousands of Guanzhong people waited on the side of the road outside the city, witnessing this grand scene.

When the sun is about to rise, the whole Xianyang is bathed in the morning glow, the most majestic Zhengyangmen arrow tower, thirty-six trombones are raised neatly, and the melodious and majestic horn sound instantly resounded throughout Xianyang, and also spread to the north and south of Weishui.

In the open gate, a solemn royal guard of honor was opened.

And after the royal guard of honor, there is a phalanx of thousands of horses, and then there are nine teams and nine cars, the first emperor's royal car is in it, but the first emperor is in what kind of royal car, but no one knows, the royal car is followed by several bronze chariots, which sit more than ten ministers, and then a square chariot rides.

It was a grand spectacle like no other.

The entire convoy, no one on foot, all calmly rode their horses.

However, those who have experienced the first few tours of the First Emperor must know that not all the men and horses of the Emperor's tour are in front of them, and there is also an iron horse, escorting some large crossbows and foot soldiers, waiting outside the city early, only to meet the First Emperor's convoy in a sparsely populated place.

Even so.

The queue that walked out of Xianyang City also attracted thousands of people to look at each other.

All kinds of exclamations and cheers came one after another.

Sonic Field.

It's different from the buzz outside the city.

The small courtyard where Ji Heng was located seemed very cold.

It's also very quiet.

He wore a velvet coat and sat lazily on the chaise longue, looking at the eaves calmly, looking very absent-minded.

After all, the First Emperor started this tour.

It was a little earlier than expected.

It's just that for the results of this tour, Ji Heng doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

Because the first emperor died of illness in history, but it seems to be a little different from history, that is, the first emperor will not pass through the 'sand dunes'.

But he couldn't remember.

Historically, the First Emperor diverted the sand dunes, or did he have to pass through the sand dunes in the original itinerary.

It's just that the similarity is that Zhao Gao and Hu Hai are still by their side.

It's as if it's back to square one.

Ji Heng retracted his gaze, his fingertips lightly swiped over the bamboo slices, and whispered: "The real division of the world is on this tour." ”

"If the First Emperor does not have any accidents during his tour, shocks the Kwantung nobles and Confucian scholars, and can take the opportunity to lead the Chu sacrifice norms, and finally return safely, then Daqin will get another one to two years, and in these two years, it is enough to make Great Qin change dramatically."

"The strategist uses his body as bait to invite the world to enter the game."

"What if none of these strategists themselves can get in? And how to stir up the world? ”

"Huh."

Ji Heng chuckled, his eyes a little playful.

In fact, he never thought of competing with Zhang Liang, Fan Zeng, Kuai Tong and others.

What he's trying to do is to make it impossible for these people to get in.

The strategists who can't enter the game, even if they have great ability, it is difficult to stir up the storm, they can only let the situation change, and the situation has always been under his control, he can take advantage of the momentum of the world to quietly strangle these 'strategists' who want to disturb the world.

Bloodless to suppress the world!

He calculates the hearts of the people.

It's the current situation.

He doesn't like variables.

And after all, Zhang Liang is known as 'seeking a saint', and Ji Heng is not very reluctant to deal with this kind of person with extraordinary intelligence, so he simply let Zhang Liang be coerced by the situation, and he can't do too many shocking moves, so he can only be contained and restricted step by step, and finally sigh in vain.

Bang bang!

There was a knock at the door.

Ji Heng retracted his thoughts, licked his lips, got up and opened the door.

Fusu was standing outside the door.

Fusu said, "Fusu has seen Mr. ”

Ji Heng nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Right now, the First Emperor is patrolling outside, and you can be regarded as in the prison country." ”

Fusu smiled bitterly, followed Ji Heng into the room, and he sighed: "Mr. is really joking, Fusu is just assisting Feng Cheng in getting along with things, how can he have the function of supervising the country, Mr. should not torture me." ”

Ji Heng laughed a few times.

He didn't laugh at Fusu about it.

He said slowly: "Now many important ministers in the city are patrolling with the First Emperor, whether you are good or Feng Quji, there will not be too many political affairs to deal with at the moment, and most of them are under the rule of internal history. ”

Fusu nodded.

He understands that, too.

So I had already told Feng Quji earlier.

Everything is based on Feng Quji, and he is just an assistant.

Just to improve their ability to handle political affairs.

However, with the first emperor's tour out, Fusu's heart was a little empty, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart, after he meditated for a while, but he didn't think clearly why, so after going out of the city to send him off, he came directly to Ji Heng's residence and wanted to ask Ji Heng.

He arched his hand and said: "Fusu came this time, I really want to ask Mr. for advice, recently I will be inexplicably irritable, and even have some uneasiness, but I really can't find a clue for a while." ”

Fusu expressed the confusion in his heart.

Ji Heng glanced at Fusu lightly, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said bluntly: "Your uneasiness comes from the instability of your position. ”

Hear the words.

Fusu's face turned pale.

Ji Heng didn't pay attention to it, stood with his hands in his hands, and said slowly: "You, the prince, actually only have a name, and you don't have any real power, and in some things, you have political disagreements with many courtiers, which also leads to your right to speak and influence in the court to be further weakened, and you may even be inferior to Hu Hai." ”

"And this time, Hu Hai went out on a tour with the First Emperor."

"You've had a grievance."

Fusu defended: "Fusu has never had such an idea, Hu Hai is my younger brother, I can't go out with my father, my father needs someone to take care of him, the younger brother is the most suitable, how can I be unfair to my younger brother because of this?" ”

Ji Heng sneered.

He was noncommittal about Fusu's defense.

He said coldly: "There's no need to pretend to cover up. ”

"Hu Hai has rarely come to my side during this time, and you, as the prince, how can you have no news about Hu Hai's recent behavior?"

"Hu Hai seems to have thoughts about you, the position of the prince."

"And you've been secretly contacting the courtiers, and I'm afraid you've been wooing a lot now, so you're having some uneasiness and jealousy, and even dissatisfaction, but as a brother, it's not good to show it directly, but you're very dissatisfied with the status quo, so you're getting more and more irritable."

"You have a sense of crisis."

"You didn't feel that before."

"Because you are contrary to the first emperor's political views, what you are disturbed about is only the first emperor's opinion of you."

"It's just that with the change of identity, the things you are anxious about have changed."

Fusu was silent.

He clenched his fists secretly.

He wanted to refute it, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Ultimately.

He hung his head weakly.

He knew that what Ji Heng said was right.

He did have a sense of crisis, especially in the past two months, when he heard some rumors, which made him even more uneasy.

He was actually confused as well.

Why did you become like this?

would be afraid of Hu Hai's threat to himself.

Looked at.

Ji Heng shook his head.

He actually understands Fusu's situation very well.

Because when power is involved, it is easy for situations to arise.

He said lightly: "Your situation is actually normal, power is a double-edged sword, it can make people go further, and it can also make people feel uneasy, but in the end, it all depends on the person who holds the power, if the person who holds the power can use it correctly, and the power is only used as a tool, it can be like a fish in water, if it is just a kind of control, it will also give rise to more drawbacks." ”

"You're in this predicament right now."

Hear the words.

Fusu was thoughtful.

He did get caught up in it.

Ji Heng sighed with emotion and said slowly: "You don't need to worry so much, you are the prince, Hu Hai is just the prince, after all, there is a huge difference between the two, and do you really think that the first emperor doesn't understand all this that happened in Xianyang?" ”

Fusu's face froze.

Ji Heng shook his head and said, "The First Emperor knows better than anyone else. ”

"Even this time I deliberately brought Hu Hai, which naturally has certain considerations, but it is more of a balance."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"But from another point of view, right now Hu Hai and Zhao Gao have been transferred, Xianyang, you are almost a prisoner of the country, isn't there a lot of room to do things, I said between me, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the change of power does not all come from the system, but more based on power."

"During the time you are alone in Xianyang, Xianyang may not really be peaceful."

"And that's actually a test for you."

"If you can deal with it calmly and make corresponding countermeasures, it is enough to prove that you can be independent, if you not only do not deal with it well, but let yourself fall into a situation of right and wrong, then I am afraid that it is really dangerous, the identity of the prince, it is never easy to sit firm."

Fusu's eyes were slightly condensed.

He already understood the meaning of Ji Heng's words.

This time he was alone in Xianyang, but in fact, he secretly hid the first emperor's heart for his own school examination.

If he can pass the examination, in order to really sit firmly in the position of the prince, Hu Hai's recent affairs in the court are not a kind of acquiescence, in order to stimulate his stronger will, and as Ji Heng said, Daqin will have to make a lot of changes in the future, and many courtiers can no longer keep up with the times, and they are destined to retire from the court.

It's just that these people are now surrounding Hu Hai.

True.

This really gave him a crisis.

But at the same time, I also made myself clear from friend and foe.

As long as you deal with it properly, you can not only pass the test of the first emperor, but also drive some courtiers away from the court.

Come to think of this.

Fusu felt a little at ease.

He respectfully saluted Ji Heng and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. for your doubts." ”

"Fusu understood."

Ji Heng bowed slightly, and said calmly: "The first emperor may be wary of you, but he is not borrowing Hu Hai to divide the situation of the Qing dynasty for you, a generation has a generation to do, and what you have to do is to connect the past and the next, carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, inherit the unfulfilled ambition of the first emperor, and take a step forward at the same time." ”

"The dislike between the courtiers and you is actually conducive to your actions in the future."

"It's just that the pros and cons are up to you to weigh it, if you can't figure it out, or if you fall into a confused situation, then it has been proved that you are embarrassed."

"In the world of Daqin, you can only advance and not retreat."

"And thorns everywhere."

"If you don't have the determination to wield your sword, how can you continue to move forward?"

Fusu's face turned pale.

He lowered his head, his eyes full of shame.

The successor of Great Qin wants a person with strong wrists, not thinking about making friends with all parties, and because of the estrangement of the courtiers, he gradually felt uneasy in his heart, which is not very wise, if he also becomes trembling and frightened because of this, then I am afraid that he will really disappoint the first emperor.

What Great Qin wants is a 'tyrant'.

Those courtiers who followed Hu Hai were their own 'enemies' in the future, and they were also an obstacle to the advance of Great Qin.

To deal with the enemy, it is necessary to strike with thunder and sweep away all these people.

If he didn't even have the courage to confront these 'enemies', how could he talk about taking on the Great Qin world? And how can you convince others?

Think about it all over.

Fusu's eyes were already clear.
