Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 467 The first day of becoming a grandson

Obviously, this was prepared in advance.

Otherwise, just discussing it would take a long time.

Look, even Taisun’s teacher has prepared it.

Taiwei Wang Jian, right minister Li Si!

However, Feng Quji, who was accustomed to the arbitrariness of the First Emperor, finally felt a big stone fall in his heart when he heard the First Emperor speak.

Not only Feng Quji was like this, but most of the people in the court were like this.

With the announcement of the First Emperor, the forty years of the Qin Dynasty without a prince finally passed. Not only the princes were appointed, but two princes were appointed at once.

This also means that Da Qin's biggest hidden danger has finally been eliminated.

If something unexpected happens to the First Emperor, an "old man" who is over fifty years old, at least there will be an agreed-upon prince who can take over to stabilize the current political situation, and the world will not be leaderless.

Even if the prince disappears with the First Emperor, there will still be a grandson.

Double insurance is...

This decision is agreeable and satisfactory to most people.

Fusu had a reputation as a wise king, and most people in the world recognized Fusu. Otherwise, the heroes of the troubled times at the end of Qin would not have raised armies in the name of revenge for the eldest son Fusu.

Not to mention Zhao Si, his biggest black spot may be the order to move the royal tomb.

And strictly speaking, the order to move the royal tomb was proposed and led by Li Si, who shared most of the pressure on Zhao Si.

Moreover, in order to determine Fusu's position as the heir apparent, the Immortal Food and Immortal Seeds and Fusu's party members devoted all their resources to build momentum for Zhao Si. Zhao Si's current reputation may be slightly lower than that of Fusu within the customs, but outside the customs, he has surpassed Fusu in three ways. street.

Of course, except for the Chu State area...

Of course, not everyone is very satisfied with this result.

In short, both Fusu and Zhao Si are currently recognized by hundreds of officials and even the world.

But not everyone is satisfied, for example, there are a few Mi Lan's followers in the court.

Of course, satisfaction or dissatisfaction is secondary now. Compared with these, they are more worried about the consequences of Zhuang Fang rashly speaking for Mi Lan and disturbing the First Emperor's interest.

Therefore, many officials avoided them. Even officials who were also from the Chu region and had good personal relationships in the past also drew a clear line between them.

"Actually, my grandson doesn't think this is necessary." Zhao Si looked at the personnel changes proposed by Li Si and the hands of the First Emperor preparing to sign, and Fusu, who was kneeling next to the First Emperor with a hesitant look on his face, was entangled for a long time. Open your mouth.

The influence of the Chu family's relatives was almost wiped out by the First Emperor.

To be honest, the ones who are still able to jump around now are those who set the boundaries at the beginning, or there are three or two big cats and kittens.

They didn't even have the political ability to influence Zhao Si. The most they could do was question Zhao Si through the theory of concubine, and were silenced by Li Si.

Zhao Si couldn't even think of retaliating and punishing them.

Stupid, weak...

However, Zhao Si's nominal teacher Li Si is not a magnanimous person.

Although in a sense Zhuang Fang's intervention not only had no impact on Zhao Si, but also because Li Si's excellent rebuttal solved all Zhao Si's worries and made Zhao Si's position as grandson more justified.

but!

Li Si took action anyway.

Fortunately, Zhuang Sheng is considered the censor after all. Although his salary is only 800 shi, the censor is a special department that listens to the news and accepts advice. Even the prime minister cannot interfere in personnel transfers privately, so Li Si cannot use his private power. It can only be reported to the First Emperor.

How novel, the right prime minister of a country, even wrote two to three thousand words to list Zhuang Fang's sins against an eight hundred stone censor, and he must put Zhuang Fang to death.

"Huh?" The First Emperor frowned slightly.

In the final analysis, it was still the remaining modern thinking in Zhao Si's mind that was causing trouble.

"You can ask Li Si." The First Emperor raised his eyebrows.

"No need to ask, my grandson knows it well." Zhao Si sighed and looked at his father Fusu again.

It's just that Zhuang Fang is stupid, but his butt is clean after all.

There is no corruption and no rebellion...

Why didn't Zhao Si understand Li Si's intention?

Of course, the majesty of the crown prince needs to be maintained, and the majesty of the right prime minister also needs to be maintained, but without the cover-up of crimes such as corruption, Zhao Si will eventually have to face the truth.

In fact, in a sense, the majesty of the superiors in this era is higher than the law.

"As long as you have the number, just use the seal..." The First Emperor waved his hand.

Zhao Si nodded and took out the seal symbolizing the First Emperor, preparing to drop the big seal to pronounce the fate of Zhuang Fang and even the few Chu officials who could be considered Mi Lan's power.

The First Emperor looked at Fusu who was mumbling several times and hesitated to speak, and then looked at Zhao Si who was about to place the seal and suddenly smiled for no reason.

"That's all..."

The First Emperor took Li Si's memorial and reviewed it again.

Zhao Si took a glance.

Among them, Zhuang Fang's sentence was changed to exile in Jiujiang, and the guilt of several other people was changed to seizing officials as slaves and confiscating their property.

"Use the seal..." The First Emperor waved his hand.

The fall of Zhao Si's seal pronounced the fate of Zhuang Fang, who openly provoked him, and the trial of Mi Lan's few direct line forces.

Zhao Si knew in his heart that there was no difference between something changed and something not changed.

The prerequisite for being exiled to Lingnan is to be able to reach Lingnan alive.

But human beings are very strange creatures. It is obvious that they have made the same decision in a different way. It is obvious that they are just hiding their ears and deceiving others, but they still feel much better in their hearts.

"Alas... Mr. Zhao is kind-hearted and can't look down upon these things." Zhao Si joked to himself.

He still had to accept his identity as soon as possible and complete a complete change in his position as soon as possible.

He knows what he should do and how he should do it.

As for the First Emperor?

Maybe to take care of your own emotions? Or maybe take care of his father's emotions?

Seeing that Zhao Si quickly adjusted his mood, the First Emperor showed a satisfied smile on his face.

After all, Zhao Si is fundamentally different from Fusu.

He was also tolerant, but Zhao Si did not lack courage in his heart.

Similarly, feelings will not affect Zhao Si's decision.

After all, this grandson adjusted much faster than his father.

Within the palace, the changes were not particularly drastic.

It's just that Zhao Si and the First Emperor brought one more Fusu to the office.

But Fusu and Zhao Si are different.

Zhao Si was with him around the clock, while Fusu just sat in on the early morning meeting between the First Emperor and the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers.

After the morning meeting, Zhao Si had almost sorted the day's government affairs. After the First Emperor decided which part could be handed over to Fusu, Fusu could leave with the work documents.

There are documents to be processed, and at the same time, having the power to open a government and appoint officials means that jobs can be legitimately provided.

So Fusu's subordinate officials and a political organization called Donggong were quickly established.

Fusu has never been short of people... As for Zhao Si, he accompanied the First Emperor every day to observe and listen to the affairs of state.

After all, he is only a grandson in name.

Because of his longevity, the First Emperor finally gave Fusu some face.

In name, Zhao Si only observed and studied politics, while Fusu only had the power to handle politics.

But in fact, Zhao Si can intervene in far more court affairs than Fusu.

So much so that Zhao Si had to find new ways to coax the First Emperor to do his work every day instead of letting the First Emperor leave everything to him.

Unlike Fusu, who came every morning to take the documents back, he could finish them in half a day, and it was all trivial matters.

"Ren Xiao resigned again..." Zhao Si read the memorial as usual.

"Are you sick again?" The First Emperor asked with a raised brow.

"The letter said that the illness is very serious, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Lingnan." Zhao Si nodded.

In fact, Ren Xiao's resignation memorial appears almost every year.

It goes back ten years...

Ren Xiao was old and a veteran, and he didn't have much enterprising spirit. However, what Lingnan needed was long-term management. Ren Xiao wanted to run away after the battle.

However, Ren Xiao was a qualified employee after all. Before leaving, he focused on training Zhao Tuo to become his deputy. It was not until Zhao Tuo grew up that he began to resign from the First Emperor.

But the First Emperor just didn't agree...

Ren Xiao will resign every year...

In short, it takes three days for a minor illness, and every five days for a major illness, and the illness persists every year...

But the First Emperor was confused...

Ren Xiao just couldn't come back, and Zhao Tuo couldn't be promoted.

In fact, the First Emperor did think about letting Xiao come back at first. It's not like he couldn't be considerate of his ministers, and he couldn't continue to do what others did when he was sick, right?

As a result, before the First Emperor had made a decision, Ren Xiao's second letter came.

Even the First Emperor was a fool and knew that Ren Xiao wanted to come back under the pretext of illness.

Ren Xiao knew that he was sending letters too frequently and that the First Emperor saw through his efforts, so he just continued to excuse his illness and resigned.

The First Emperor couldn't see whether Ren Xiao was sick or not. After going back and forth, Ren Xiao became anxious and simply refused to let him go.

After all, Lingnan is special. This place has both grace and power, and Ren Xiao is capable and prestigious. There is no need to let Ren Xiao come back if he is doing well.

Da Qin suffered great losses in Lingnan...

However, in recent days, Ren Xiao's letter of resignation became more and more sincere, and the First Emperor also became suspicious.

"He has been ill since ten years ago..." The First Emperor raised his eyebrows.

"Ren Xiao is now seventy years old after all." Zhao Si spread his hands.

"Even if you are not sick, you should still be considerate." Zhao Si sighed.

And although Ren Xiao has a criminal record, he is probably really ill.

According to the history in memory, Ren Xiao actually delegated power to Zhao Tuo a long time ago. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, it was Ren Xiao who took the initiative to negotiate with Zhao Tuo to secede from the Central Plains and seal the road.

After Ren Xiao's death, Zhao Tuo was able to completely unify Lingnan and lead Lingnan away from the control of the Central Plains.

It is now the forty-first year of the First Emperor. Strictly speaking, Ren Xiao did not lie to the First Emperor. He may have been ill a few years ago.

And if nothing unexpected happens, according to the course of history, Ren Xiao may not live for a few more years.

If you look carefully, you will find that compared to the memorials of ten years ago, the memorials written by Ren Xiao in recent years are indeed sincere and sincere, and his sincerity is beyond words.

He doesn't want to go to work anymore. He, a seventy-year-old man, just wants to go home.

"Then let Ren Xiao return to the court...promote Zhao Tuo to the rank of general to control Lingnan." The First Emperor rubbed his brows.

Seventy is indeed very old.

He had just heard that when he was seventy years old, he thought that Ren Xiao could still struggle for more than ten years. But then he thought that it was he, the First Emperor, not Ren Xiao, who could live to be a hundred years old.

At seventy years old, in this era, there are indeed only two years left before entering the coffin. To be precise, most of them have already entered the coffin.

"Also, what is the name of Zhao Tuo's son..." The First Emperor frowned.

"I won't do it..." Zhao Si spread his hands.

There is no doubt that Zhao Tuo had a son, but he was definitely not the later Lingnan Emperor.

No matter how magnanimous the First Emperor was, he would never allow the generals of Kaibian to take their families to live together in the place where he guarded Kaikuo.

So strictly speaking, in fact, the later South Vietnamese royal family was definitely not the direct bloodline of Zhao Tuo.

His serious family must be in the Central Plains.

As for the subsequent family members, most of them were born after they were exterminated in the Central Plains.

However, Zhao Si did not know the name of Zhao Tuo's son, and the First Emperor did not remember it, which meant that Zhao Tuo's son did not do well.

"Go and ask Li Si...then recruit Zhao Tuo's heirs to serve as garrison in your palace, and issue the order together." The First Emperor said.

Zhao Si nodded.

Can understand.

He just wanted to remind the First Emperor if he wanted to change his mind.

After all, Zhao Tuo was the later emperor of South Vietnam. He seceded from the Central Plains and had a dark history.

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Tuo was indeed not wrong.

The Qin Dynasty is about to be destroyed, and the political struggle is extremely fierce. You make the decision today, and I will make the decision tomorrow. Hu Hai and Zhao Gao are repeated villains again. The destruction of Wang Li and the Great Wall Corps, the death of Meng Tian and Mengyi, the internal factions of the Qin army, and the number of friendly forces It was difficult to move, and he had to weigh the exchange between Zhao Si and Zhao Tuo. It was enough that Zhao Tuo did not take this opportunity to collude with foreigners to subvert the rule of Qin and instead annihilated himself in the Central Plains.

There is no need to use the future to kill current officials.

Zhao Tuo is not as crooked as Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu, who thinks about overthrowing the Qin every day.

To put it bluntly, there are indeed many people who are truly willing to die for the country, but it is enough if they can avoid adding insult to injury at critical moments.

People just make a living and realize their life ambitions. Their families are all in the Central Plains, so there is no need to change.

And from a historical perspective, Zhao Tuo managed Lingnan well.

Now his son is serving as a garrison in Taisun's palace and has a bright future.

"In addition... Military Counselor, I will go to discuss with General Wang from now on." The First Emperor thought for a while and then said.

Wang Jian was the one who really had half a foot in the coffin, but the First Emperor insisted on the choice that could still be used as long as the person was alive, so Wang Jian also became Zhao Si's teacher.

At the same time, he also left all the affairs of affairs to Zhao Si and asked Zhao Si to consult Wang Jian.

Wang Jian is not a general, but a national scholar. With Wang Jian watching, there will be no problems in military affairs, and Zhao Si will also grow rapidly in this process full of autonomy.

"How old is General Wang..." When Zhao Si heard that the First Emperor wanted to give up, he quickly found a reason, but found that the First Emperor was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.

"It's just because you're older that I asked you to ask for more advice."
