"My lord, Hu Hai has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Handan County. This is an edict sent from Handan County to Xianyang. It was intercepted by General Wang Li and sent here. Please see it."
"His Majesty, the First Emperor, inherited the legacy of the previous kings, wiped out the Liuhe, and extended his majesty to the sea. Unfortunately, the sky did not lie about his year, and he died in the palace on the sand dune. The country lost its master, the sun and the moon lacked light, and the four seas mourned. Daxing the emperor's edict, the prince
Hu Hai was a prudent man and had a reputation as a virtuous man. Hu Hai was specially appointed to inherit the throne and preside over the country. His son Fusu had always been rebellious and slandered the First Emperor's actions several times. The First Emperor hated it and sent special troops to the county to guard the border, hoping that he would learn from his mistakes. Now he is
He didn't take it seriously, but instead ordered the soldiers of the upper county to lock up the county, seize Xianyang, and prevent the First Emperor Zi from being buried in the palace..." Looking at the edict in his hand, Fusu looked angry.
He did not expect that Zhao Gao would be so frantic. This move was not only insidious, but also likely to put the Qin Dynasty in danger. If everyone in the world knew that Fusu and Hu Hai were fighting for power, how many people who were dissatisfied with the Qin government would take the opportunity to stand on their own feet. How could the Qin Dynasty be so powerful?
The results of the efforts of the late king will be in vain, and the newly unified China will fall into division. How can Fusu not be angry? The most fatal thing is that Hu Hai has already gained the first-mover advantage with this move, which can not only cover up his false imperial edict to succeed to the throne.
This incident once again accused Fusu of being unfaithful and unfilial.
"It seems that I have underestimated Zhao Gao. This eunuch is not a person with little talent or intelligence."
In just a few days, bad news came one after another;
First, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao occupied the two counties of Handan and Julu, and sent General Zhang Han to lead 30,000 soldiers to guard Fushui to resist the Fusu army, while Dongjun, Dangjun, Xuejun, Jibeijun, Sishuijun, and Donghaijun
, the prefect of Jiujiang County surrendered to Hu Hai after receiving Hu Hai's edict, and openly issued a proclamation to insult Fusu.
Next is Xiang Liang. Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew killed Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County, and summoned eight thousand elite soldiers to start a rebellion in Wuzhong. The surrounding counties surrendered, and the entire three counties in Jiangdong have been returned to the Xiang family.
Finally, Zhao Tuo, the governor of Nanhai County, took advantage of Ren's illness to seize power again, ceded the four counties of Guilin, Nanhai, Xiang, and central Fujian and established himself as the king of South Vietnam. He refused to obey the orders of the young master Fusu and openly sent 50,000 troops to strangle the Xiang River and defend South Vietnam. The last thing
Manchanyu, the leader of the Xiongnu, took advantage of the new mourning of the First Emperor and personally led an army of 100,000 to invade Jiuyuan County. Meng Tian resisted vigorously and defeated more than 20,000 of the army.
At this time, Da Qin was facing the biggest crisis after its unification. Of the forty-eight counties in Da Qin, only 32 counties were still in the hands of Fusu. It can be said that this crisis was no less than that of King Qin Zhaoxiang when Qi, Han, and Wei conquered Hangu.
Guan. Da Qin is really at a critical moment of life and death. According to the historical trend, Xiang Yu will rebel against Qin a year later, but Xu Yun's time travel changed the fate of Fusu, indirectly affected the historical trend, and put Da Qin in a state of disintegration.
the edge of.
Half a day later, Fusu handed a letter to Bai Liyue.
"General Baili Yue, please immediately make a copy of this letter by someone who is looking for a good book, and send it to all the counties and counties in Daqin as soon as possible, and ask the county guards and magistrates to post this letter in the bustling places in the city.
"I want everyone in Daqin to know the contents of this letter." Fusu handed a personally written letter to Bai Liyue.
One month later, Prince Fusu's "Call to Zhao Gao and Hu Hai" was posted everywhere in the Qin Dynasty.
"My Majesty, the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, visited the world several times, and his son Fusu often accompanied him. A kind father and a filial son brought peace to the whole country. Now His Majesty the First Emperor sent his son Fusu to the north to supervise Meng Tian's army to ward off the Xiongnu, so he left Hu Hai alone to accompany him this time. Hu Hai and others
A man with an impure heart was a minister and did not think about relieving the First Emperor's worries. As a son of man, he did not serve the First Emperor to the best of his ability. As a result, His Majesty the First Emperor became sick from sorrow and anger. The disease caused by hard work is not fatal, but Hu Hai and Zhao Gao dieted and took medicine, causing
His Majesty, the First Emperor, was increasingly ill and unfortunately passed away in a sand dune. The death of the late emperor was actually caused by Zhao Gao and Hu Hai usurping the throne and committing regicide. The two thieves, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, should commit suicide to thank the world. Young Master Fusu could not bear to bury the late emperor in the grass.
I would like to exchange the three counties of Jiuyuan, Kuaiji and Sishui for the late emperor Zi Palace to be buried in Xianyang to express the grief of the young master. The young master Fusu will inherit the legacy of the late emperor and supervise the country as a young master, determined to restore the national power of our great Qin, which will not be as strong as one day.
Again, the young master will not be crowned king or promoted to the throne for a day."
"Everyone, it seems that we have misunderstood Master Fusu before. It turns out that Hu Hai became the emperor by killing the king and forging an edict," a Confucian scholar said as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"I didn't believe it before. Young Master Fusu has a reputation as a virtuous man, but he was punished by the First Emperor for defending us at all times. In my opinion, Young Master Fusu should be the leader of the Qin Dynasty."
"I don't think so. This may be Fusu's plan. Anyway, the First Emperor has passed away and there is no way to verify it."
"Scheme, are you blind? The three counties of Jiuyuan, Kuaiji, and Sishui were exchanged for the First Emperor Zi Palace to be buried in Xianyang. Is there anyone in the Qin Dynasty who is more pure and filial than the young master Fusu? The national power of the Qin Dynasty is not as strong as that of the late emperor.
I dare not respect the First Emperor's decree and ascend to the throne of emperor, but only use the name of the son to supervise the country, just to not harm the late emperor's honor. I wonder if there is anyone in Daqin who is more loyal than the son Fusu?"
A group of Xianyang Confucian scholars looked at the articles and discussed each other word by word. Similar discussions were taking place in every county in the Qin Dynasty, and they were not limited to Confucian scholars, but also spread across all levels of the Qin Dynasty including officials, farmers, and Jia. Even
Fusu's message was discussed in the Xiongnu camp that was confronting Meng Tian.
At this time, Fusu had led his troops back to Xianyang, leaving Baili Yue and 30,000 soldiers to confront Zhang Han at Fu River. Under the temptation of Jiuyuan, Kuaiji, and Sishui counties, Hu Hai finally sent people to send Emperor Qin Shihuang's Zi Palace away
Arriving at Baili Yue Camp in Fushui. Baili Yue received Qin Shihuang's Zi Palace and arranged for three thousand elite soldiers to escort them to Xianyang.
On the day when Qin Shihuang's Zi Palace arrived in Xianyang, Prince Fusu personally led hundreds of Xianyang officials out of the city for hundreds of miles to welcome the First Emperor Zi Palace for burial in Lishan. Xu Yun had great respect for Qin Shi Huang, a man who laid the foundation for the unification of Chinese civilization.
Although there were mixed reviews from later generations, no one dared to ignore his achievements. Due to the fusion of many memories of Fusu, Xu Yun regarded Qin Shihuang as his relative in his heart, but he had not yet
Just aware of it.
"Father, you have exhausted your efforts for our great Qin. I know you are tired, so just rest in peace! I will definitely reunite the world and live up to your reputation of wiping out Liuhe!" Fusu supported Qin Shihuang.
Zi Gong said. He did not notice at all that the historian behind him had written down what Fusu said. Unexpectedly, the sentence that the historian accidentally wrote down turned out to be strong evidence that Emperor Qin Fusu had great ambitions in his early years.
, and was even used as a motto to motivate themselves by many emperors in later generations who aspired to unify the world.
After the state funeral was over, Fusu summoned all the civil and military officials to conduct government affairs in the Qilin Hall of Xianyang Palace. Meng Yi came out of the train, bowed his hands to Fusu and said:
"My minister Meng Yi has something to report. It has been more than a month since the death of the late emperor. Now the state funeral has been completed. The young master should abide by the late emperor's edict and ascend to the throne of the emperor. This is an act that is in line with the will of God and the people. My minister Meng Yi respectfully invites the young master to ascend the throne.
"
"My uncle Sun Tong seconded the proposal"
"I second the proposal"
"My lord, Sun Heng, seconded the proposal."
…
Under the leadership of Meng Yi, almost all the officials were asking Fusu to ascend the throne. Among them, Meng Yi and Wang Li sincerely hoped that Fusu would ascend the throne. Of course, there were also people who were watching. Seeing that everyone was urging Fusu to ascend the throne,
I had no choice but to join in the pretentious persuasion with everyone else.
"You are all the pillars of our Great Qin Kingdom. Logically, I should comply with your request. However, I have told the world that if the power of the Great Qin Kingdom is lost, I will no longer be king or ascend to the throne. I will not be good in the world.
Breaking your promise in front of others. How can our country in the Qin Dynasty have a king who changes his mind from day to day? Dear ministers, how about letting this matter go?" After Fusu finished speaking, he looked sincerely and waited for the ministers' response. Fortunately, all the ministers and ministers were waiting for their responses.
He was a man of sense, and no one stood up to persuade Fusu to take over.
When the court meeting was over, Fusu left Meng Yi and Wang Li alone.
"Young master, Hu Hai and others can pretend to be emperor and claim the throne. You are the eldest son of the late emperor and the one who was appointed by the late emperor to succeed to the throne. Why are you unwilling to accept the imperial edict and succeed to the throne? We really don't understand." Meng Yi,
Wang Li and Wang Li looked at Fusu in confusion and asked.
"I wonder if you two know the purpose of Xiang Yu and others from Jiangdong to raise troops against the current?" Fusu asked.
"Aiming to overthrow our Da Qin orthodoxy."
"Then let me ask the two generals, what is the orthodoxy of the Qin Dynasty?"
"Of course it's the Kingdom of the Qin Dynasty, and the majesty of the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty." Wang Li said solemnly.
"What General Wang said is absolutely true. If Xiang Yu attacks our country of Qin, who would be the first choice, Emperor Hu Hai of Qin, or Fusu, who is only known as the late emperor's son?" Fusu looked at Wang Li and Meng Yi and asked.
"Of course it is Hu Hai, the emperor of Qin." Wang Li and Meng Yi instantly understood the reason why Fusu would not ascend to the throne for the time being. When Hu Hai ascended the throne, people in the world regarded Hu Hai as the orthodox emperor of Qin, and those who opposed Qin must regard Hu Hai as their primary enemy.
"In the north, Touman Chanyu, the Xiongnu, is watching eagerly. In the east, there is Zhang Han's 30,000-strong army guarding the Fushui River. The troops are pointing directly at our Shangdang, Taiyuan and other counties. If the Xiang family in the east of the Yangtze is added, Xianyang will be in danger. Instead of being promoted to the throne, it will be able to resist the Qin Dynasty.
It is better to build up national strength by attacking the enemy with soldiers. For the current plan, the first thing is to appease the people and reform the law to become stronger. Today, there are more and more people rebelling against our Qin Dynasty. Why? You cannot just blame the remnants of the Six Kingdoms for causing chaos. Qin's laws are strict.
, taxes and corvees were heavy, mausoleums were built, the Great Wall was built, millions of people were levied for labor, and the people were fighting for years, and the people in Guanzhong were already living in ten houses and nine empty houses. How could the people of such a great Qin Dynasty not rebel and govern with virtue, such as Beichen
, all the stars are overhead, and for the people, being a politician can make them live and work in peace and contentment, and the people will naturally be grateful. In this way, even if I don't proclaim myself emperor, the people will not agree. If I get the throne and the people are resentful, how can the throne last long! 2.
You should know that the people are the country. The people of the country are the most important, and the king and the people are united. This is the right way. The second thing is to conquer the rebels. Don’t be anxious about conquering the rebels. Since Zhao Gao, Hu Hai and others will block the anti-Qin army for me.
, why should I be anxious? After they are both injured in the fight, I will send out troops to defeat them one by one, and get twice the result with half the effort. Wouldn't it be nice to restore our great Qin's national power? It cannot be accomplished overnight, nor is it a matter for one person or one clan. It requires all of our Qin people.
People are of one mind and one mind." Fusu patiently explained to Meng Yi and Wang Li.
After listening to Fusu's explanation, Meng Yi and Wang Li suddenly realized that they did not understand what Fusu said. Looking at Meng Yi and Wang Li in front of them, Fusu realized a serious problem.
Restoring Qin's national strength requires many talents, especially those who can manage the country and help the world. Meng Yi and others do have certain talents, but they are not enough to support the ambition of Fusu.
Fusu then came up with the idea of poaching Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, and Li Si, the former prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. Although this person participated in Hu Hai's correction of the imperial edict, in terms of his ability to govern the country, I am afraid that there are really few people in the Qin Dynasty who can compare with him.
Got it Liz.
"Meng Yi, go and recruit some talents for me. The detailed list will be given to you tomorrow."
"Nuo" Meng Yi took the order and said.
The next day, when the court meeting was over, Fusu handed a detailed list to Meng Yi. Meng Yi only glanced at it and was shocked by the list in his hand.
"Li Si, Zhang Han, Xiao He, the chief official of Peixian County, Han Xin of Huaiyin County, Zhang Liang, the father of Yingchuan County, Fan Zeng of Juhuan County, Pengyue of Changyi County of Dang County, Yingbu of Six County of Jiujiang County, Long Qie of Qu County of Donghai County"
"Young Master, Li Sizhanghan and his like are servants of the puppet emperor Hu Hai. These two people have rebelled against their master and become thieves. They are not worthy of your attention. All you need to do is send a team of soldiers to kidnap them." Meng Yi said angrily.
"Meng Yi, I know you are dissatisfied with Li Si and Zhang Han, and I also know that you are angry on my behalf. The reason why the late emperor was able to wipe out the six kingdoms was indispensable to Li Si. In terms of talent, there are few people in the world.
He can surpass others. No one is a sage, and no one can do anything wrong. Do you know the story of Duke Mu's death of his horse? In the past, Duke Mu's good horse was lost, but later it was found that the people of Qishan divided it and ate it. Gong Mu did not feel resentment, but gave fine wine to Qishan.
People, afterwards, Duke Mu was trapped by the Jin army, and it was the people of Qishan who sacrificed their lives to save him. Only then did I have the great Qin. Zhang Han is a worthy general in the world. If he can join me, he will be able to use his talents to the best of his ability. In the future, we will conquer
By destroying Xiang Yu, Xiongnu will have one more tiger general. Such a general would be wasted following Hu Hai. This matter must be kept secret. Do not let others know."
Fusu didn't dare to blatantly poach others. Once the Xiang family and Zhao Gao knew about it, they were still not intercepted. There were only a few talented people in the Qin Dynasty. If one of them was lost, Fusu would definitely feel heartbroken.
Cry awake.
"I have never heard of Xiao He, Han Xin, Zhang Liang and other people. I don't know how you know that these people have the talent to run the country and help the world." Meng Yi asked puzzledly.
"When I accompanied the late emperor on his eastward tour, I heard the names of these people. Later I sent someone to find out more about them. They were all pretty good. As the eldest son of the late emperor, I should be far-sighted." Fusu made up a random story and couldn't tell Meng Yi.
These names are all written in the history textbooks of later generations. It is difficult not to know them.
"Nuo, I'm going to invite these great talents right now." After Meng Tian accepted the order, he was going to arrange the matter that Fu Su had explained.
"Wait a minute, Li Si, I'd better come and invite him in person! Please wait for a moment while Li Si and I write a letter." Fusu stopped Meng Yi and said.
After a while, Fusu handed a letter to Meng Tian and told Meng Tian to deliver it to Li Si.
