Late April.

The weather in Xianyang is a lot warmer.

The city, which was originally scattered, has gradually regained its vitality.

Spring ploughing has ended.

Although there were still peasants working on the ground in the fields, most of the peasants were given a short rest, and the Xianyang government office began to build the city, select soldiers, repair the embankment, repair the palace and other affairs as usual.

Fusu is finally idle now.

After he dealt with the political affairs of the day, he immediately instructed Wei Sheng to prepare the carriage, and then went to Ji Heng's place non-stop, since the proverbial incident broke out in the city last month, he had not seen Ji Heng for more than a month.

First, it is to avoid suspicion, and second, there are many political affairs, and I can't get away.

Now he has some experience in handling political affairs, and he is much more comfortable handling it than in the past, so he can save a lot of time, and while the court has relaxed in the past few days, he also went to Ji Heng's residence again.

Sit in the carriage.

Fusu's face was as calm as water, but his eyes were not calm.

When he went to Ji Heng's place this time, he really had something to ask.

What happened in March was like a fish in Fusu's throat, and every time he thought about it, he was afraid, which also made him completely disgusted with Duhe and other courtiers, and he wanted to drive these people out of the court more and more.

He can't tolerate Duch and the others!

It's just that he has discussed it with Zhang Cang in private, but he has never come up with any good solutions.

I wanted to ask Ji Jiheng when I went this time.

Ji Heng had always advised him to be firm in his mind and learn to be ruthless, so in Fusu's opinion, Ji Heng must have a way to do it, and then he received the order sent by the First Emperor.

For this two-word order, he actually still knows a little about it.

Faintly.

He guessed that this change law refers to the "Shang Jun Shu - Change Law", but he is still a little unclear about what the first emperor means, and because this matter involves the first emperor, after thinking about it again, he did not choose to discuss it with Zhang Cang.

Crunch, squeak.

The wheels of the carriage rolled forward.

In a quarter of an hour, the carriage finally stopped.

Fusu stepped out of the carriage.

Looking at the wooden planks that had been a little black and rotten under the infestation of wind, frost, rain and snow, he felt a little emotional, and then held a bamboo basket in his hand, and said loudly to the courtyard: "Mr. Ji, Fusu will see you, and please open the door to see Mr." ”

Not for a while.

The closed door opened.

Fusu gave Wei Sheng a few orders, and then entered the courtyard alone.

At the time of admission.

I also took the door with me.

Ji Heng had sat back on the chaise longue, his head looking up slightly, as if admiring the simplicity of the sky.

Fusu put the bamboo basket on the side of the table, raised his eyes and looked around, the mulberry tree in the courtyard was a little taller, the branches were full of green leaves, but the broken chess cloth below seemed a little out of place, even a little obstructive, the fields in the courtyard have been planted with green vegetables, green and proud, but except for these places, the whole house is still relatively bleak.

Fusu sighed: "Mr. is still the same as before. ”

"In the past, I didn't understand Mr. Xing, and every once in a while I came to trouble Mr., I thought I was helping Mr. to show his ambitions, but now I think about it, it's just wishful thinking, pinning my love on heaven and earth, how is it not a kind of Yaxing, and it will be less pleasure than other things in the world."

"Huh."

Fusu shook his head, he looked at Ji Heng lightly, and arched his hand: "This time Fusu came without telling me, in fact, I didn't want to disturb Mr., but in the past month, Fusu has some things in his heart that are very messy, and I want to ask Mr. to explain it for me." ”

Ji Heng looked at Fusu calmly and nodded slightly.

Fusu said: "Sir, although he has lived in a secluded room for a long time, he should have heard about what happened in the outside world, more than a month ago, there was a rumor in the city about the identity of Mr., and finally with the help of Zhang Cang and Zongzheng, Fusu barely coped with the past, but every time he thought of the sinister in it, he couldn't help but sweat coldly. ”

"At the same time, he is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Duhe and other courtiers."

"These people are so self-righteous."

"I don't have much talent in Fusu, but I also know right and wrong, but these people don't hesitate to use such indiscriminate means in order to target and prevent my political views from further affecting the court, which is really shameful."

"If Zhang Cang didn't help Zongzheng, Mr. would probably be in prison."

"It may even affect the First Emperor."

"These people are really deceitful too much, they are not human ministers, let alone celebrities!"

Fusu was annoyed by this, and thus strengthened his belief that if these black sheep were not expelled from the court, such intrigues and conspiracies would not be less in the future.

"As Mr. said before, the courtiers are never in awe of my Fusu, they are only in awe of the name of the 'eldest son' and 'prince' on my head, the situation in Daqin is not stable at the moment, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the hundred scholars have been secretly peeping, and the local officials and the court have always been in harmony."

"Great Qin can't withstand the internal friction in the court."

"Fusu really doesn't have that much energy and mental strength."

"So."

Fusu lowered his head, and didn't dare to face Ji Heng's gaze, but still said firmly: "Fusu wants to ask Mr. to plan for Fusu, how to expel this group of half-hearted courtiers from the court, but my father made it clear that he wanted to let the heroes of Great Qin retreat, and Fusu secretly did a lot of thinking, but he really couldn't do both, so he wanted to ask Mr. for advice." ”

"Please help me, sir."

Ji Heng didn't speak, just looked at Fusu.

Fusu only felt a tightness in his spine.

Long.

Ji Heng bowed slightly.

Fusu is finally on his way to becoming emperor.

is finally willing to abandon or hide the so-called benevolent heart.

When benevolence is abandoned, the imperial talent begins to show, but this talent is ultimately ruthless, whether it is a desire for power, or a cannibalistic character that treats commoners like mustards, which varies from person to person, but the current Fusu is not fully possessed.

His imperial talent, after all, still has a bit of ordinary people's grudges, and he has not really achieved both the interests of the world.

It's just that Ji Heng doesn't care.

Even.

He doesn't care if Fusu can eventually become the 'emperor' in the future, because his path is different from that of the emperor, what the emperor cares about is 'the world', and what he cares about is 'the change of the world'.

Ji Heng said calmly: "The Three Emperors and Five Emperors, in terms of the world, is actually the first 'mutation'. ”

"Since then, the world has had the order rules of 'creation, keeping, revival, continuation, inheritance and order', and the later Xia Shang Zhou actually fits the order and rules under this framework."

"Daqin is also in line."

"As the Chinese saying goes: 'If you think it is easy, it will be difficult; If you think it is difficult, it will be easy'. ”

"Often when you think it's easy, difficulties follow, and when you think it's difficult, some things actually become easy."

"Difficult means easy."

"Easy also means difficult."

"You want to do it to the courtiers right now, and you want the court to reduce internal friction, but there is no suitable way, plus the first emperor's express order is in front, you don't dare to rashly disobey it, and you don't have such power, so you have fallen into a certain distress and trickery."

"But what you see as difficult is actually not difficult."

Hear the words.

Fusu was stunned.

He looked at Ji Heng suspiciously, and said in a condensed voice: "Fusu didn't understand, why isn't it difficult?" ”

"Under the division of Mr., the world has begun to abolish the Shiqing Shilu system since the Spring and Autumn Period, and the status of the scholar is still very high, and it is a lifelong office, as long as these officials do not resign, do not take the initiative to resign, they are basically to die for the official, this concept has been like this since ancient times, although it was loosened during the Warring States Period, but with the unification of the world, it has made a comeback again."

"Fusu really can't think of a way to crack it."

"If you don't innovate the system, it means that you can only find another way, and this is where Fusu is troubled."

Ji Heng nodded.

This is actually a state of ancient politics.

It's just that Fusu forgot one thing, the world of Great Qin is not the old system of three generations, but a new empire, a new system, and it should not be applied to the three generations of inheritance, and Fusu also forgot that the real master of this world is the emperor.

The emperor decides everything!!

Ji Heng pondered for a moment, and did not answer this, but said: "As a prince, you should not actually consider these things, what you should really consider is the world, in addition, the world has reached this point, you also need to make one thing clear." ”

"What is the Fa in your heart?"

"And the solution to this matter is in it."

"Your 'law' is Shang Ying's proposal of 'governing the world is not together, the country is not lawful, the law is ancient, the law is enacted at that time, and the rites are made according to the matter.'" ”

"It's still Shen Bu Harm's 'The reason why the king is venerable, the order is also, and the order is not good, is that there is no king, so the king is cautious." ”

"Or it is cautious to 'establish the Son of Heaven, thinking that it is the world, not establishing the world, thinking that the Son of Heaven is also.'" ”

"Or Han Fei's 'things are in the four directions, in the center, the saints are insisting, and the four sides will follow.'" ”

Fusu was silent.

What is his 'Dharma'?

This question Fusu has never thought about, in the past, he was thinking about how to bring Daqin on the right track, how to reverse the status quo in the world, and change the situation in the world.

Fusu hesitated and wondered, "Is there any difference in my 'Fa'?" ”

Ji Heng said coldly: "Those who are in power have their own 'law', everyone's choice is different, the path is also different, and it varies from person to person, and in the end, under the monarch's 'law', the world will also go to a different path." ”

"This law."

"It's actually your political philosophy."

"Only when you have established your own political ideas can you know what you should do and what you want to do, instead of being like rootless duckweed, not knowing where to go, moving with the wind, how can such a monarch control the world, even the monarch himself does not know what he wants, and how can the courtiers below give reasonable advice?"

"You are the prince, the future emperor, it should also be clear."

"Only by clarifying the concept can we know what to do next, instead of continuing to take a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west."

Ji Heng said it very bluntly.

Fusu simply thought in the wrong direction.

He still didn't put himself in the right position.

In the past, he was the eldest son, and he could indeed continue like this, but now he is the prince, especially in the treacherous world, Fusu should actually clarify his political philosophy as early as possible, only in this way can the 'like-minded' scholars serve, and only in this way can the officials of the world be able to 'do what they like', rather than wavering.

The king chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king!

If the monarch's thinking is confused, and the order is changed overnight, how many scholars dare to serve?

There was a long silence.

Fusu whispered in his mouth:

"The law of Shang Ying, the law of Shen is harmless, the law of prudence, and the law of Han Fei."

He had vaguely guessed that the reason why Ji Heng let him choose was not really what method to choose, but to make himself clear about the future administrative direction, only by establishing his own direction of governance, Ji Heng knew what choice to make for him, and he could tailor it.

It's just that what is the 'Fa' of oneself?

Fusu frowned.

In fact, his first reaction was to be cautious.

It's just that the method of prudence has just come to my lips, but I can't say anything.

Because this is not the law of Great Qin.

The place where the first emperor ascended the throne was the law of Han Fei, but with the unification of the world, the first emperor gradually turned to the law of Shang Ying, and also firmly believed that "if the world is not governed together, the country will be lawless", and since then Great Qin has begun a vigorous road of innovation.

And if he says the method of prudence, it also means that it is contrary to the political views of the first emperor.

Long.

He decided to follow in the footsteps of the First Emperor.

Fusu said: "The law of the merchant king." ”

Looking at Fusu's lowered head, Ji Heng secretly shook his head.

How could he not see Fusu's reluctance, Fusu finally made a compromise, but this compromise was meaningless, and even if Fusu firmly said that he chose the 'Law of Shangjun', the First Emperor probably wouldn't believe it, because Fusu was very disgusted with the Law of Shangjun in the past, and in just one or two years, even if there was a big turn, how could it be so thorough.

After all, it is self-deception.

This kind of inconsistency is even more harmful to the court.

And the most well-known in history is Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.

Ji Heng sighed lightly and said, "Fusu, do you know what your decision means?" ”

"It means the future direction of the world, and it also means that the political path after you take the throne in the future, the political concept cannot be changed at will, once it is changed, the entire court will be affected, and even the whole world will fall into turmoil."

"Do you understand?"

"You don't decide your own political opinions."

"It's the future of Great Qin."

"Is your 'law' really the 'law of Shang Ying'?"

Fusu's face turned pale.

For the first time, he felt at a loss.

Can he really firmly enforce the 'Law of Shang Ying'?

Fusu kept asking himself in his heart.

Ultimately.

Fusu shook his head.

He couldn't.

He can't see everything, he can't change with the times, and he can't accept it himself.

Fusu lowered his head dejectedly, his face showed a touch of embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Hui, Fusu can't do it, just let Fusu choose the method of prudence, and Fusu can't do it either, as Mr. said before, what Daqin needs is a 'tyrant', and the method of prudence can't be done, so Fusu can actually choose only one." ”

"It's Han Fei's law!"

"Only Han Fei's method can make Fusu always insist."

"Since Your Majesty, Great Qin has implemented the integration of law and law, the integration of the official system, the concentration of governance in the national government, the decision of the emperor, the unification of government decrees from top to bottom, and the whole country is like an arm."

"Fusu knows his own ability, and he doesn't dare to have too many extravagant hopes."

"Only continue the government of the first emperor."
