"One, two, three......"

"Eight horses!"

"This is His Majesty's chariot!"

"Your Majesty actually went out of the palace to invite this person, what is the origin of that person?!"

"Isn't he a royal slave?"

“……”

City.

Looking at the eight tall and majestic horses and the carriage pulled, the people on the side of the road were all shocked, Daqin is a hierarchical world.

Only the emperor's chariot can be pulled by eight horses, and now the chariot is heading towards Xicheng, which means that it is self-evident.

The person in Xicheng actually asked Emperor Daqin to come out in person to invite him, this kind of treatment, they have lived in Xianyang for decades, and it is the first time they have seen it.

Everyone was shocked and curious.

Originally, they thought that the person in Xicheng was going to be in trouble, after all, Qin II had already given enough face, but he was still pretending to be there, once he angered the emperor, he could still fall into the good?

Outcome.

Not only was the emperor not angry, but he personally deigned to go, which really surprised many people.

The people of the city whispered in a low voice.

Checking each other for news, they wondered who lived in the West City, who could be so arrogant, that even His Majesty had to deign to invite them.

But.

They have limited information to be able to find out.

Asking and asking, the information was fragmented and scattered, and there was not much useful information, but it was true that more and more people were flocking to the streets and alleys of the West City.

I want to see who Xicheng is.

By the way, I also want to see the honor of Emperor Daqin II.

The avenue of Xicheng has long been emptied by the government, leaving an incomparably spacious avenue, and after a while, dozens of horses appeared on the road, and then gradually there were one or two more carriages.

The leader of the general is a mystery.

Walking on the familiar street, he also had mixed feelings, especially when he received an order, this time he went to Ji Heng's residence, and it was even more mixed.

He can have the scenery he has today.

Largely because of Ji Heng's mention, it can now be regarded as a return of clothes.

Ride the horse.

Yu Ke slightly pinched the horse's belly, sped up his speed, and soon, a group of people arrived at Ji Heng's residence, and there were many people parked outside.

It was the attendant who had come to deliver the message.

Furthermore.

Gongzi and others had already received the news, and now they were waiting outside the hospital, and they could sweep the faces of the people waiting outside the hospital one by one.

But Ji Heng was not found.

He turned over and dismounted, went to the chariot of Fusu, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's here." ”

It was quiet inside the carriage.

There was no sound, and Wei Sheng also moved a low case early and put it under the carriage.

Soon.

The carriage curtain was lifted.

Fusu, who was dressed in regular clothes, appeared in everyone's sight, he swept around lightly, stepped on the low case, and stepped into this boundary again.

Fusu looked at the somewhat mottled wall, which still had many traces of erosion over time, and his eyes were quite emotional.

He hadn't been here for five or six years.

Since then, following Ji Heng's advice, he has never set foot in this place again, and everything is for Ying Sinian to pass the word.

It's kind of comfortable.

But this time, he came in a completely different mood from the past, and in the past, he was extremely respectful to Ji Heng, and even had a strong atmosphere of worship.

He was able to ascend to a high position step by step, control the court, and recover the mountains and rivers, all because Ji Heng was in the dark to give him advice and guidance.

It is precisely with Ji Heng's help that Daqin, who was about to collapse, can turn the situation around step by step and get back on track step by step.

This is all the credit of Ji Heng.

The effort paid in it, Fusu also has to admit that it must be very huge, and because of this, he has always been in awe of Ji Heng.

Never suspicious.

But nowadays.

He had to think about whether Ji Heng had ulterior motives when he made a move, because the current Great Qin was faintly out of his control.

Although the power is still in his hands.

It's just the direction of the world, but it is gradually out of his control, if it weren't for Zhang Cang's initiative to remind him this time, he probably wouldn't have realized it.

But it is precisely because of the realization.

Gave birth to vigilance.

He was shocked to realize that he was almost Ji Heng's puppet in the past, and listened to all of Ji Heng's suggestions and policies without any opinion.

And fully comply.

This made Fusu very frightened in his heart.

He is the Emperor of Great Qin, the monarch of the world, how can he be at the mercy of others? And still willing to eat? This made Fusu very angry and remorseful.

I regret that I woke up too late.

I also regret that I don't have much insight, in the past, when the emperor was there, he reminded himself more than once that he had to be able to discern, and he had the power of insight, but he didn't think so.

What made Fusu even more sad and angry was that Ji Heng had also reminded himself before that he was still full of words at that time, thinking that he had really done it.

Outcome......

Utter self-deception.

He has no ability to judge and think independently, and he has only listened to other people's opinions and ideas all along, which is not wrong in itself.

But he's a king!

How can you trust one person without doubt?

This is a big mistake.

The mistake is outrageous.

It was so wrong that Fusu couldn't help but grit his teeth every time he thought about it.

Fusu retracted his gaze.

He looked at the door fixedly, Ying Sinian and the others had been waiting for a long time, but there was no Ji Heng at the door, and Ji Heng did not go out to greet him.

This is indeed Ji Heng's character.

He glanced at it lightly, without saying a word, and walked directly towards the courtyard, this section of the road, he had walked many times in the past.

But this time, the feeling was the most different.

He knows it well.

When he stepped into this courtyard, the trust between him and Ji Heng in the past would also be completely shattered, like a broken mirror, and there was no possibility of recovery.

As Fusu moved forward, Yu Ke and the others hurriedly walked a few steps and stopped Ying Sinian, Gongzi Gao, Hu Hai and others outside the courtyard.

They were not allowed to step into the courtyard for half a step.

Looked at.

Hu Hai pursed his lips.

I was also quite unhappy in my heart.

He's living inside now, keeping himself outside, what's the matter? He also wanted to hear what Ji Heng and Fusu would talk about.

Almost never left it off before.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, Hu Hai didn't dare to touch Fusu's head at this time, the current Fusu and Ji Heng obviously had a wrong atmosphere, he, a flat-headed person, if he provoked Fusu unhappy, Fusu would not think of himself.

After all......

He is no longer a child of the clan.

Torrent.

Fusu's footsteps are very steady.

Step by step on the bluestone slab, there were bursts of slight footsteps, the surroundings were very quiet, and Fusu's footsteps clearly fell into everyone's ears.

But everyone's hearts were not here, and they all looked at the open door.

Ultimately.

Fusu walked in.

Wei Sheng coughed lightly and closed the courtyard door, not allowing the outside world to listen.

and no one is allowed to enter.

There was only one Ji Heng in the courtyard, and he had sent someone to check it before, and it was a search inside and out, and he didn't miss any dead ends.

Just to avoid accidents.

Now.

There are only two people in the hospital, Ji Heng and Fusu.

Fusu walked up the stairs and entered the lobby, and as soon as he entered the lobby, he saw that familiar and unfamiliar figure.

Ji Heng is still very lazy.

He leaned crookedly on the chaise longue, clutching a paper fan in one hand and fiddling with a flask with the other.

See Fusu come in.

Ji Heng said lightly: "It's here." ”

Fusu nodded and arched his hand: "Fusu has seen Mr., I said goodbye back then, but now it has been five years, and time has really changed." ”

"Sir, there are a lot of vicissitudes than in the past."

Ji Heng poured two glasses of warm wine, pushed one of them to Fusu, and then said with a smile: "This is still the wine you sent back then, but I have made some improvements, the taste should be okay, you can try it." ”

Fusu glanced at the clear wine, and said with emotion: "Then I have to taste it, I still remember that at the beginning, every time I came to Mr., I had to bring something, otherwise Mr. would not want to say more to me." ”

"But I didn't bring any drinks this time."

"Please forgive me, sir."

Ji Heng nodded, without saying a word, he raised the wine bottle quite relaxedly, and took a sip gently, as if he was enjoying the mellowness of the wine.

Looked at.

Fu Su frowned, quickly stretched out, also raised the bottle, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said: "The wine is good, better than the imperial wine in the palace." ”

"This is the wine." Ji Heng Road.

"But it's no longer the imperial wine I brought to my husband back then." Fusu sighed, a touch of coldness appeared in his eyes.

Ji Heng nodded and shook his head again: "But it is indeed imperial wine." ”

Fusu was silent.

He took the initiative to pour himself a glass, and this time, he did not drink it all in one gulp, but tasted it slowly, and then said: "It does have the taste of imperial wine, but it tastes different from the past." ”

"This wine has been buried for twelve years, and this is the sweetness of the years." Ji Heng chuckled.

Fusu was noncommittal: "Yes, it's been twelve years, and I've known my husband for twelve years, and the first time I met was in prison." ”

"It's the same thing now."

"How is the wall different from a prison?"

"The wine that has been aged and buried deeply, after all, has lost its original youthfulness, and I still prefer the wine of the year, at least it is not spicy, and it has a sweet aftertaste."

"Where's the gentleman?"

The corners of Ji Heng's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "I don't care, as long as it's wine, I can accept it." ”

Fusu's face sank, and he said unhappily: "But this is Daqin, my Ying clan's Daqin." ”

"Sir, it's over!"

Ji Heng's face was straight, and he said calmly: "No matter how deep the wine is, no matter how it is fermented, it is still wine, and it has not changed." ”

"Fusu only wants to know now, where does Mr. want to lead Daqin?!" Fusu stared at Ji Heng with straight eyes, as if he wanted to see through Ji Heng.

Ji Heng was silent.

Ultimately.

He shook his head, "I don't know. ”

"Don't know?" Fusu's face was gloomy.

Ji Heng said: "I really don't know, I can't think about it that far, there has never been a thing in the world once and for all, everything in the world is changing." ”

"It doesn't change because of one person."

"No matter how good the system is, it needs people to implement it and abide by it, I can't give you an answer, but I said it before in prison."

"My ambition is to change."

"I have never wavered in changing the country, changing the governance, changing the livelihood, and changing the people."

"What I want to create is an upward world, but I don't know what it will be like in the end, and I don't care."

Hear the words.

Fusu's face was gloomy.

He stared at Ji Heng with dead eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "I trusted you so much in the past, why do you want to calculate me?" ”

Ji Heng shook his head.

He looked at Fusu with a strange look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I haven't calculated you, I've just been doing what I think, it's just that our initial path is the same." ”

"I don't want the world to be ruined."

"And you are the prince of Great Qin, and you want to save the building, and in the end, you and I hit it off, so as to achieve this hope together."

Fusu was silent.

He drank the wine in the cup thoroughly, and said in a deep voice: "Under these four changes, is Daqin still Daqin?" ”

Ji Heng pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Do you think there really is an eternal empire in the world?" ”

"I am the Great Qin Emperor." Fusu Road.

"But it still can't change this fact, there is no eternal empire in the world, and it was never the monarch who created this world."

"It's the cultivator who works hard in the fields, the businessmen who come and go on the official road, the officials who speak in the court, and the students who study hard."

"The vast majority of them are destined to be unknown and will not be able to leave their names in history, but these people are indeed the true masters of history."

"I can't change that."

"The only thing I hope for is to let the world have more lasting peace, so that all people can suffer less human suffering."

Ji Heng slowly stood up.

He sighed softly, and his expression was very gloomy.

As Lu Xun wrote, turning the page of history, this history has no era, and the crooked and oblique are written with 'benevolence, righteousness and morality', and the whole history is full of two words.

Cannibalism.

That's history.

It is also the long-term status quo in the world.

From ancient times to the present day, it is nothing more than that.

In fact, there is very little he can do, and the only thing he can do is to guide the system, so as to win more long-term peace and development for the world.

He doesn't know when he will be able to shelter the world's poor people, nor will he know when the world will be able to achieve the dream of enjoying the cool weather, and he doesn't know if the world can really realize the great harmony of the world respected by the ancient sages.

The only thing he can do is to let people live as much as possible, so that people will not be cannibalized and eaten again, and as far as possible, there will be as few cases of family destruction and displacement as possible.

But it's hard.

Fusu looked at Ji Heng with a complicated expression, saluted respectfully again, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. has lofty ambitions, Fusu admires." ”

"But Fusu is the lord of Great Qin."

"He is the king of the world."

"What happens in the world, it should be up to Fusu to decide, not you, Mr."

"Fusu came here this time to invite Mr. to come out, in order to improve the existing system of Daqin to adapt to the current environment."

"Fusu doesn't want Mr. to be selfish anymore."

"Otherwise......"

"Don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!"

Ji Heng's face was calm and did not answer.

He won't answer.

In fact, the answer has been made a long time ago.

Both are clear.

Fusu grabbed the wine bottle with the palm of his right hand, and blood overflowed from his palm, and he kept staring at Ji Heng, wanting to hear Ji Heng let go.

It's just that after all, no.

Long.

Fusu threw the wine bottle on the ground, and laughed angrily: "Okay, since Mr. has already made up his mind, Fusu will no longer persuade him." ”

"It's just that out of that courtyard gate, Fusu may not be able to call you Mr. anymore."

"Ji Heng !!"
