sunset.

Mi mansion is quiet.

Yangquan Jun Michen looked at the message in his hand.

His eyes were full of seriousness.

a long time.

Mi Chen said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty is really cautious."

"Even though the courtiers support the new land policy in unison, His Majesty is still unmoved, and only wants to implement the new land policy on a small scale. This move has directly blocked the mouths of many people."

"but"

"Your Majesty, how would you know?"

"Yingchuan County, Sishui County, and Chen County, these three counties are closely related to the Chu family. I wanted to use these three places as a demonstration to see the effect, but Your Majesty made the wrong idea."

"It also fulfilled the achievements of the eldest son."

"Ha ha."

Mi Chen was holding a walking stick, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

At this time.

Suddenly a Lichen came to report.

"Parents, there is an old firewood seller outside the door asking to see him. He said that he has a very close relationship with his parents, and his parents have even saved his life."

"Parents, do you see?"

"Selling Chai Weng?" Mi Chen frowned.

Li Chen said:
"Indeed, he is famous for selling Chai Weng."

"However, there is no shortage of firewood in the mansion these days, and I don't know how this old man came to the door. I originally wanted to drive him away, but he repeatedly said that he has a close relationship with his parents, and that he came to repay his life-saving grace. "

"I couldn't make up my mind for a while, so I came to report to my parents immediately."

A cold look flashed in Mi Chen's eyes.

Displeased said:
"Just drive this kind of person away, why come here to report? How have I ever dealt with the Chai Weng, your parents?"

"Return the favor of saving your life?"

"Would I care about the life-saving favor of a chai weng?"

Li Chen bowed.

"I'm going to chase him away."

Just as Li Chen was walking towards the backyard quickly, a figure suddenly appeared in Mi Chen's eyes, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Is it him?"

"Is this old thing still alive?"

Mi Chen's eyes were gloomy, he hesitated for a while and said:
"stop."

"Go and bring this man in."

"I also want to see who this person is?"

Soon.

Li Chen brought in an old man.

This is a thin old man with white hair, black robe, bamboo crown and straw sandals.

Meet the old man.

Mi Chen's eyelids twitched.

He waved.

He signaled the surrounding maids and servants to retreat.

After all the other people around had left, the old man coughed lightly and sat down on the mat carelessly, with a very casual and calm expression, as if everything was as it should be.

Mi Chen stared at the old man in front of him.

Ning Sheng said:
"Why are you here with me?"

"If you want to die, don't implicate me."

The old man grinned, with few teeth left in his mouth.

He laughed and said:

"You don't welcome me?"

"Since you avoided me so much, why did you save me back then? If you hadn't replaced me in prison, I would have been executed by His Majesty at that time. How could I have survived to this day?"

"Am I right?"

"Mi Yushi Zhongcheng!"

There was a stern look in Mi Chen's eyes.

With a flick of his sleeves, he said:
"What the hell do you want to do?"

"I didn't want to save you back then. If it wasn't for my sister's strong request, I wouldn't have taken action at all. You have already been dismissed by His Majesty, and even sentenced to death. You have no influence on the court. It is completely useless to save you." strength."

"It turns out I was right!"

The old man was noncommittal.

sneered:
"You think I don't know your thoughts."

"You guys saved me because you just wanted to use my hand to integrate the remaining forces of Changxinhou (嫪毐) and Chang'an Jun (Chengyu) in the court. Your sister, the Empress Dowager Huayang, is a female stream, and she still wants to continue to control the government. Do you really think you can succeed?"

"If I had helped you back then."

"After Lai Ai's death, not only Lu Buwei died, but also your Xiong family named Mi. Do you really think that your majesty was merciful at the beginning because you, Mi Chen, had meritorious support? Do you really think that your majesty will Do you care about the Empress Dowager Huayang's face?"

"You did forget."

"Our Majesty is a man who imprisoned his mother and murdered his brother!"

"Since His Majesty took power, he has played tricks on the court with applause."

"It's just that your majesty has been hiding and not saying anything, allowing Lu Buwei, Lao Ai, the Queen Mother Huayang and others to control the court. The reason why you let you go in the early days is not that your majesty is weak, but that your majesty has no overwhelming advantage over you. Wait until the king of the army Shi and Mengshi surrendered, and the court has already changed."

"Only you are still unaware."

"He still wants to continue to rule the world with His Majesty by forming a party to monopolize power."

"You are so naive!"

"Do you really think that Marquis Changxin wants to launch the Qinian Palace Incident? Young Master Chengxu wants to cause Chengxu Rebellion? Do you think they can't see the situation clearly?"

"But do they have a choice?"

"no!"

"Do you still remember how Wei Liaozi evaluated His Majesty back then?"

"'Low kindness and a tiger's heart, living in an appointment is easy to get out of others, and success is easy to eat people'."

"Indeed."

"Since His Majesty took power, he has always respected and cherished heroes."

"With all talents, His Majesty will quickly form a sincere friendship with them, and never care about the flaws and arrogance that ordinary people can't tolerate but celebrities are long-term and inevitable."

"But His Majesty is really so open-minded?"

"If Your Majesty is really open-minded, Lu Buwei will not be forced to kill, Mr. Cheng Yu will not rebel, and Xiong Qi will not rebel halfway. Your Majesty is just a tiger and wolf who behaves very kindly to the outside world."

"But a tiger wolf is still a tiger wolf!"

"He can eat people!"

"You have all been deceived by His Majesty's disguise!"

Mi Chen stared at the old man firmly, with a look of seriousness in his eyes.

Asked:
"What do you mean by that?"

The old man sneered and said: "Your Majesty hasn't shown his fangs in the past ten years, but you all have forgotten how His Majesty murdered people in the past. This time, you are the one who instigated those people in the court to provoke a dispute between the old and new Qin people. "

The old man's tone was very sure.

Mi Chen's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and he finally nodded in admission.

The old man looked at Mi Chen.

sneered:
"You are really ambitious and talented."

"How dare you use such a trick in front of His Majesty?"

"Do you really think His Majesty is easy to get along with?"

Being so accused by the old man, Mi Chen's face was a little bit uncomfortable.

Displeased said:
"It's not your turn to tell me what to do."

"The reason why I choose to do this is naturally my reason."

"You are just an old sojourner right now. How do you know about the court affairs? You may not even know that the ten sons who died that year did not actually die."

"He is back."

"It's in Xianyang right now!"

"You know the power of the tenth son back then. If the tenth son rises again, the court will definitely change drastically. Since I advocate the eldest son, I will naturally do my best for the eldest son."

"Currently, there are mostly 'new' Qin people in the imperial court."

"If I don't take advantage of this golden opportunity and ask the courtiers to stand in line ahead of time and wait for His Majesty to announce the return of the Ten Young Masters, wouldn't it be a waste of this great opportunity?"

"Now you know why I did this?"

The old man laughed.

His eyes were full of mockery.

Said sarcastically:
"Today I understand that when the Empress Dowager Huayang was so beautiful, you, as his younger brother, could only take the place of Yushi Zhongcheng. With your ability, Yushi Zhongcheng is already at the limit."

"I made it so clear before."

"You don't understand."

"Fusu?"

"Haha."

"Michen, you are not young, so don't hang yourself on Fusu. Fusu can't be the crown prince anymore. He did have a chance, that is, the ten years when the ten sons 'died', but he obviously didn't." Hold on."

"At present, the ten sons have died and returned to life."

"He has no chance."

"You should just be your Lord Yangquan honestly, and just save up some family property for your Mi Xiong family. I advise you not to participate in the affairs of the court and the battle for the crown prince."

"You don't understand when you participate."

The old man had a good word of advice.

Mi Chen sneered and said:
"absurd."

"At present, half of the court is devoted to the eldest son."

"Why don't you have the opportunity to talk about it?"

"Times have changed, even if the ten sons come back, they may not be able to repeat the glory of the past. Why must the eldest son not be able to compete? If the eldest son has no chance, the one you serve may not even have the chance to imagine."

The old man's eyes sank.

In a cold voice:
"My son really has no chance."

"But I didn't ask for those extravagantly. I just wanted to earn more property for the young master in the remaining days. I only want the young master to live a decent and comfortable life in the future, that's all."

"As for your so-called love, it's just wishful thinking."

"and"

"You have committed a taboo this time."

"But with your consciousness, I'm afraid you can't realize it."

"Never mind."

"After all, it was indeed you and the Queen Mother Huayang who saved me back then, and this time I have repaid the kindness of those years, so I will tell you a thing or two carefully."

"Do you know why Lu Buwei, Marquis of Chang Xin, Lord Chang'an died?"

Mi Chen frowned.

There was a look of suspicion in his eyes.

The old man said:
"At first, like you, I also thought they had broken the law, but after dying once, I figured it out, it wasn't at all."

"Lao Ai and son Chengyu are indeed rebellious."

"But did Lu Buwei and His Majesty really disagree politically back then?"

"I'm afraid not!"

"After Lu Buwei's death, His Majesty adopted Wei Liaozi's suggestion."

"That is to conquer the six countries militarily, and at the same time collect a lot of money to buy important ministers from various countries, and advocate changing the unified strategy from pure military conquest to buying people's hearts."

"But how is it different from Lu's Chunqiu's strategy?"

"Entering the enemy's territory, the people will know that they are sheltered, and the head of Guizhou will know that they will not die. As for the borders of the states, the grain will not be abused, the graves will not be dug, the trees will not be felled, the accumulation will not be burned, the houses will not be burned, and the livestock will not be taken. Get the people's captives and return them to them, to show likes and dislikes, to trust the people, and to seize the enemy's money."

"After admonishing and expelling guests, Li Si and Lu Buwei broke up."

"However, after the founding of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si's proposal of 'don't choose black and white' is contrary to Lu Buwei's political views back then?"

"No."

"The foundation of the prosperity and strength of the Qin State was established in Shangjun, and the shape of cannibalism was formed in the Marquis of Rang (Rang). When King Xiang came to His Majesty, he already had power in his hands."

"Lu Buwei was born as a merchant. Merchants are cunning and speculative. Everyone knows that. When Lu Buwei was in a position, he often talked about Fan Li. When he knew that he disagreed with His Majesty, would he really go his own way?"

"Even more strange."

"Your Majesty convicted Lu Buwei back then, saying that Lai Ai was Lu Buwei's disciple. How far-fetched is the reason?"

"even so."

"Lu Buwei was immediately dismissed by His Majesty, and then he was directly exiled, and he was also directly forced to kill by a letter on the way into exile. Can Your Majesty tolerate Wang Jian's great achievements, but not his 'Father Zhong'?"

"Lao Ai and young master Cheng Xun also have something strange."

"Back then, Lai Ai's desires were hard to fill. Not only did she want to control the government, but she also boldly asked the Queen Mother Zhao to give birth to two sons for her. Lai Ai was indeed seeking her own death, but you don't think that when things changed, Lai Ai got the Qin King's Seal and the Empress Dowager's Seal, mobilized Was the garrison too smooth?"

"It seems that someone is deliberately indulging."

"As for the son Chengyu."

The old man's words paused.

sighed softly:
"At that time, the general trend of the world has been established."

"When Young Master Cheng Yu led the army to set off, he had no intention of rebellion at all. He was forced to rebel."

"Due to the existence of the Lianzao system in the Great Qin Dynasty, it was very difficult for soldiers to rebel. At that time, Qin and Zhao had not yet fought, and there was no such thing as a tragic war. That's it, Cheng Yu and his subordinates rebelled."

"Young Master Chengyu's rebellion has always been a mystery!"

"When the army captured Tunliu, all Chengyu's subordinates were executed, and all the people in Tunliu were exiled, and Tunliu became an empty city."

"Your Majesty doesn't want to ask Cheng Yu why he rebelled? Why did he rebel?"

"This is my own brother!"

"Before I was implicated and executed, I never thought about it."

"But I figured it out over the years."

"They are indeed guilty!"

"This crime—"

"It's just too close to the kingship."

"All three of them are a threat to His Majesty's crown."

"That's why."

"Your Majesty, who has never been suspicious of a capable minister who uses things, and who has never been suspicious of a high-ranking master, has shown his cold-blooded fangs to these three people."

"Lu Buwei was forced to die."

"All his disciples were exiled to Shu."

"And never leave!"

"Lao Ai was torn apart by a car."

"All of his party members above the doctor level were beheaded, and all the others were deprived of their titles, and were also exiled to Shu."

"Cheng Yu also died."

"All his henchmen were killed."

"I didn't dare to confirm it at first, but I was not sure about His Majesty's tiger-wolf heart until ten years ago, when the ten sons had an accident."

"Your Majesty can tolerate anyone in the world."

"Only anyone who threatens the royal power cannot be tolerated."

"My son can't either!"

"Your Majesty hates Lu Buwei so much, did you ever ban "Lu Shi Chun Qiu"?"

"Never." Mi Chen shook her head.

The old man sneered and said:
"However, after His Majesty ascended the throne, a book was banned."

"Do you know what book it is?"

""Han Feizi"?" Mi Chen's eyes darkened, as if thinking of something.

The old man nodded.

"Yes."

"Your Majesty hates Lu Buwei so much, but he didn't ban "Lu Shi Chunqiu", but only banned "Han Feizi"."

"It's all for a reason."

"His Majesty is a man with few defects."

"but"

"Barely the same as none."

"Your Majesty's only flaw lies in this family relationship."

"With the death of Queen Mother Zhao and the death of Young Master Cheng Xun, His Majesty is actually almost perfect, but as the young masters grow up, everything has changed again."

"Your Majesty not only hopes that the young masters will become talents, but also fears that the young masters are too good to be a threat to him."

"And "Han Feizi" gave His Majesty another choice."

"What choice?" Mi Chen asked.

The old man said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty never trusts anyone."

"Your Majesty only believes in laws, tricks, and power."

"That is to punish people with the law, to suppress people with power, and to control people with skills."

""Han Feizi" says: If a husband cannot trust his wife's closeness and his son's closeness, then there is nothing else that can be trusted."

"In His Majesty's eyes."

"Everyone is an enemy!!!"
