An urgent document from Xiang Liang was sent from Suiyang to Shouchun! In the letter, Xiang Liang asked King Xiong Xin of Chu Huai to appoint Zhang Liang as a marching commander and keep the army under his command!
Zhang Liang officially stayed in Xiang Liang's camp from this day on. Although Shouchun had not yet received the official documents, Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng were already Xiang Liang's right-hand men in Xiang Liang's army!
As for what Zhang Liang asked and said to Xiang Liang that day, except for Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo, and Fan Zeng, no one else knew about it! But it can be known from the laughter that kept coming from the room.
, Xiang Liang’s answer obviously made Zhang Liang very satisfied!
…
June 27th, the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty!
Xianyang City, the residence of Li Si, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty!
Today, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, whether it is servants or retainers, is walking cautiously! It seems that they are afraid of disturbing something if they move too loudly! The noisy Prime Minister's Mansion in the past suddenly became dead silent!
It seems that even the mouths of chickens and dogs are wrapped!
This is a quiet and hidden room in the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Now, there are several figures sitting in the small quiet room! And the person sitting at the top of the room is none other than Li Si, the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty who is now in power! There are two people on the left and right of Li Si!
The one on the left is Tingwei Yao Jia. Next to Yao Jia is Fengchang Hu Wujing, who has just been released. Facing Yao Jia is Ma Xing, the servant of the royal family. There are several bronze lamps in the small quiet room.
The lights crackled from time to time, making the atmosphere in the quiet room even more silent!
Nowadays, due to Hu Hai's constant adjustments, the number of the three important ministers of the Qin Dynasty, including the Three Gongs and Nine Qings, is already less than twelve!
Originally, the Taiwei among the three princes had always been vacant. Feng Jie's position as Yushi Dafu has now been occupied by Dun Rui, who was originally a Dianke. Zhang Han, who was originally a Shaofu, also holds the position of Lang Zhongling!
Except for Feng Quji, the right prime minister, Zheng Guo, Zongzheng Yingteng, and Yang Ruihe, who also served as a guard and lieutenant. The three princes and nine ministers in the Qin Dynasty hall are now in this small quiet room.
Almost half!
In today's Great Qin, apart from Emperor Hu Hai, Li Si must be the only one capable of this!
The four people in the quiet room did not sit on the floor as before, but all sat on four-legged chairs with backrests and armrests!
The tables and chairs that Hu Hai officially unveiled in the main hall of Xianyang Palace have now officially begun to spread in the Qin Dynasty. After using them once, all the courtiers immediately abandoned the futons they used to sit on the floor!
The consequence of this is that there is obviously a shortage of craftsmen in Shangfang making tables and chairs, and many tall trees around Xianyang are being cut down every day!
In the past, a large number of towering ancient trees were cut down because of him. Hu Hai was very helpless! Finally, Hu Hai had to give an order. When one tree was cut down, ten trees must be planted, and a name must be left to ensure that the trees to be planted will survive!
Although they were a little confused about the emperor's order, the ministers still faithfully fulfilled the emperor's order! After all, planting a small tree is just a matter of effort, and even ten trees are not a big deal!
What's more, which courtier doesn't have dozens or hundreds of servants in his family?
Li Si squinted his eyes slightly and rubbed the polished armrests of the chair with his hands for a while!
"Your Majesty has been full of wonderful ideas since his return. The thing called the chair we are sitting here is indeed very good!"
The old voice with a deep sigh broke the peace in the quiet room!
In the quiet room, Yao and Jia, who were originally enveloped by Li Si's huge aura, all felt a sudden lightness on their bodies since Li Si opened his mouth! They couldn't help but let out a slight sigh of relief!
Today, it was Prime Minister Li Si who summoned him! But after arriving in the quiet room, Li Si remained the same as before! The Prime Minister did not speak, and Yao Jia and others who were suddenly summoned did not know the reason, so naturally they did not dare to speak nonsense!
After all, anyone can see it. The prime minister who used to strategize seems to be not in a very good mood!
Hearing Li Si's sudden sigh at this moment, Yao and Jia all felt a little confused as Monk Zhang Er. They remained silent, but in their hearts they were thinking about the profound meaning of the Prime Minister's words!
"Do you think that I will be like Old Prime Minister Lu?"
After a long time, Li Si's faint voice sounded again in the quiet room!
"Clang!"
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the bronze wine bottle in Hu Wujing's hand fell heavily on the copper table, making a dull sound! It was particularly harsh in the silent room!
This muffled sound also woke up Yao Jia and Ma Xing, who had fallen into a daze because of Li Si's words! Yao Jia glanced angrily at Hu Wujing, who was busy cleaning up the wine stains on his robes, and bowed to Li Si.
"Prime Minister, are you thinking so because of the words in those rumors? Prime Minister, you are worrying too much! Nowadays, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms are in trouble everywhere. Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, is the pillar of our great Qin Kingdom. With your Majesty's eyes today, you must be deeply
I know that I, the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, have no one who can set the course for the Ding Dynasty and shoulder this important task!"
When Ma Xing and Hu Wujing heard Yao Jia's words, they hurriedly responded!
"The pillar of the country? The outline of the tripod? Haha, so what if I compare to Lu Buwei?" Li Si said with a sudden smile!
How Hu Hai came to power? Although Yao Jia, Ma Xing, Hu Wujing and others were all Li Si's right-hand men, Li Si did not reveal the matter at all. It was really too important!
So until now, Yao Jia and others have no idea that the successor to the throne originally chosen by the First Emperor was not the current Emperor at all, but Fusu!
Of course, now that things have happened, even if Yao and Jia have doubts in their hearts, Li Si will definitely not tell the truth. Not to mention that Hu Hai has warned him, just for his own sake, he will not reveal anything!
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Li Si felt!
Originally, a series of actions after Hu Hai returned from his eastward tour had already made Li Si feel a heavy sense of crisis. Then, what happened was that the emperor entrusted all political affairs to him and consecrated Li Ju as empress, which dispelled Li Si's doubts.
!
However, the sudden rumors suddenly aroused Li Si's uneasiness again!
The establishment of the Shangji Mansion, the emperor's hookup with the right prime minister Feng Quji, the pension plan, Wang Li's canonization as a duke, etc., almost all the subsequent major events related to this old empire, before the little emperor made the real announcement
, when Li Si thought about it, he suddenly discovered that he, the nominal political leader of Da Qin, was actually completely unaware of it!
Immediately afterwards, the little emperor used the rumors to completely bring the two secret organizations of Longwei and Heibingtai to the forefront, which could only be hidden in the dark. They conducted investigations, spies, arrests, executions, etc.
Not included!
In just seven days, several low-level but crucial officials promoted by Li Si were directly hunted and killed by Long Wei and Hei Bingtai under various excuses.
head!
Because of the strong appearance of Long Wei and Hei Bingtai, the Tingwei Mansion, which was originally his right-hand man to help him control the officials and suppress his opponents, had most of his functions cut off in one fell swoop!
The officials and officials of the Tingwei Mansion who were originally responsible for executions and solving cases, now whenever they see the Dragon Guards and Black Ice Soldiers with the black dragon waist badges and black sword waist badges hanging on their waists, they all turn around and leave without daring to stay at all!
Probably because the officials at all levels under Tingwei Mansion have suffered several times at the hands of Long Wei and Hei Bingtai! As the boss of Tingwei Mansion, Yao Jia went to Long Wei and Hei Bingtai several times.
Winning is not a blessing!
Yingyi was completely different from Yao Jia's reasoning. He just said "Your Majesty has a purpose" and pushed Yao Jia back!
When the accusation was brought before the emperor, the emperor only scolded Ying Yi or two on the surface, but did not punish him in any real way! Everyone could see that Ying Yi dared to do this, and Long Wei and Hei Bingtai dared to act openly and honestly.
If the Tingwei Mansion is fighting against each other, if it is only supported by the popular figure in front of the emperor, Yingyi, then the weight of Yingyi will obviously be much less!
If he said it was not authorized by the little emperor, even Li Si would not believe it even if he killed him!
Nowadays, the financial power is not in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the military power has never been in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Tingwei Mansion has been so weakened by the emperor, and only the official power is left. There is the right Prime Minister Feng Quji, an old man who is standing in the way, and the one who refuses to take soft and hard advice.
The old and immortal Dunwei was watching!
The old Qin people who had almost died before and now only the old, weak, women and children suddenly rose in status at this time. The young emperor made a plan to support the people without looking at the treasury or asking for his own opinion. He just issued an edict to the world. How much would it cost the government?
Store money and food?
Immediately afterwards, the descendants of the Ying clan could also join politics and join the army! Waiting for everything, it seemed that the little emperor had been excluding himself step by step!
Now after going through the rumors, Li Sijing calmed down and thought about it, and suddenly realized that in addition to gaining a false reputation for governing the country and having his daughter canonized as queen, he seemed to have had too many things taken away from him by the little emperor unknowingly!
The little emperor has been constantly weakening everything about himself! Weakening everything related to him!
Zhao Gao is dead, and he is now the only one who has seen the last edict of the First Emperor! He is also the only one who knows the biggest secret of the current little emperor! So is it true that just like the rumors, he should die right after?
As a former retainer of Lu Buwei, Li Si was later recommended by Lu Buwei to serve as an official in the court. He knew very well how Lu Buwei, who had real power in the government and seemed to have an affair with the Queen Mother, died!
Li Si is very aware of the gap between himself and Lu Buwei!
The most important thing is that the bloody massacre that happened silently in Xianyang more than 20 years ago but was finally covered up is still echoing in front of his eyes!
Emperor, which emperor is easy-going? Which emperor is not ruthless?
The First Emperor could even keep his biological mother quiet in the cold palace for more than ten years without asking anything about it. He could even force his biological father to death who single-handedly pushed him to the throne. He could even kill countless old and weak women and children of the Ying clan. So the little emperor
It doesn't seem too much to canonize a queen, depose another queen, and then kill yourself, the prime minister who seems to be the pillar of the empire!
But, what is the emperor for? And why does he do this?
