Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 215 Crowning the Crown Sword! (seeking a monthly ticket)
Three days later, Yingzheng issued an edict announcing to the world that Fusu was made the heir apparent.

Five days later, Fusu held a coronation ceremony in Taimiao.

Ying Zheng visited the Taimiao in person.

Fengchang Hu Wujing became the minister of ceremonies for the prince, Li Si put a cloth crown (wenguan) on Fusu, Meng Tian put a leather crown (wuguan) on Fusu, and Ying Ben put a jade crown on Fusu ( adult crown), after the three crowns were completed, Ying Zheng stepped down from the throne and personally put a special jade sword on Fu Su.

Simultaneously.

Ying Zheng said in a loud voice: "From now on, the eldest son of the emperor, Fu Su, will be the heir of the Great Qin Dynasty, crowning the sword and governing, and will supervise all matters together with the prime minister's office."

When the handsome Fusu Guanjian cloak stepped out of the main hall and stood in the porch to thank the distinguished guests, the entire Taimiao courtyard resounded with the cheers of the Great Qin Wannian and the prince's heroic military, and the green pine forest was filled with various discussions Voice.

Hu Hai stood in the crowd, looking at Fusu who was crowned with a sword, his eyes were full of envy.

Why doesn't he hope that the person standing on the high platform is himself.

But now he is just a spectator.

He could only witness Fusu accepting the courtiers' prostration and worship, accepting the courtiers' overtures, and he could only follow among the courtiers, saying some unintentional compliments. Thinking of this, Hu Hai even felt a little regretful , Is it true that I was wrong about not fighting in the court?

But soon.

Hu Hai shook his head.

He doesn't feel like he's done anything wrong.

Father's attitude is already clear, if he tries harder, not only will he not be able to win, but it will also cause displeasure between father and elder brother, and it may only be counterproductive.

And he didn't think he was qualified for the position of crown prince.

As Ji Heng said, Fusu is actually not qualified for the job, but Fusu is older than himself and has experienced more things. Compared with their other dozen brothers, Fusu is the best among them. The least bad guy, but just not bad.

But it's not good.

Fu Su is still like this, let alone him?

He does have the heart to fight for the reserve, but he also has the thought of family and country in his heart.

Great Qin is the most important! ! !

As for Zhao Gao's suggestion at the time, he did not agree with it, and even alienated Zhao Gao these days because of it. He did not understand many things clearly, and he did not see the truth, but it did not mean that he was stupid. Now Fusu has become a The world-recognized prince, if he tosses and abolishes the establishment at this time, he is undoubtedly looking for death.

Once the father or the eldest brother knows, then it can only look at the brotherhood.

He didn't have much faith in the so-called brotherhood.

The reason for the fight before was that the crown prince had not been decided, and his father had always acquiesced in the fight, but once the crown prince was decided, it seemed a bit out of his mind to go to secretly calculate, and he also felt that Zhao Gao had lost his head.

Hu Hai stood quietly on the porch, watching Fusu talking and laughing happily with the courtiers.

Young Master Gao, Young Master Jiang Lu and others also had envy in their eyes, but they didn't have much jealousy in their eyes. They withdrew early and gave up their thoughts. Now that the crown prince is confirmed, they are still uneasy. At least, before the position of the crown prince was decided, some people had been persuading them to fight for it.

Now these voices will no longer appear.

Young Master Gao smiled and said: "In the past, the elder brother was considered by the courtiers to be the crown prince, but after all, he didn't really announce it to the world. Now it is completely settled, and the matter is finally settled."

"We can finally get out of it."

Young Master Jiang Lu nodded with a wry smile.

They have been cautious all these years because they are worried about being targeted by others and being involved in this struggle. Now that Fusu is officially recognized as the crown prince, the pressure that has been squeezed in their hearts for a long time is instantly released.

The young master said in a high voice: "It is expected that the elder brother will become the crown prince, but after all, this is the matter of the elder brother. Our top priority now is to compile the "Yushu" that Mr. Ji said as soon as possible. A few days ago, the father came here The Imperial Academy, we have asked about the progress, we must hurry up."

heard.

The eyes of Jiang Lu, Rong Lu and other young masters lit up, and they said in amazement: "Father, did you ask what we did?"

Young Master Gao nodded with a smile, and said: "Father also encouraged us to consult Prime Minister Li Si, Hu Wu Jingfengchang and others in this regard, in order to compile relevant books as soon as possible. What we have done has been approved by Father. recognized, perhaps"

Young Master Gao paused for a moment, and said excitedly: "It will really be like what Mr. Ji said, and we can use this to get some titles."

heard.

Jiang Lu and other young masters also showed excitement.

The title is extremely important to these young masters.

This is their way of retreat in the future.

the other side.

Compared to the jubilation of others, Zhao Gao looked very gloomy, the joy of the people around him had nothing to do with him, he just felt that it was very noisy.

He looked at all the officials around him, and then at Hu Hai, with a cold look in his eyes.

He can't just sit back and wait.

He is just a eunuch. Once he falls, it is too difficult to get up again. Now he has lost power in the palace, and the first emperor does not even use him in driving. It will become more and more difficult.

He can't accept this situation.

Although Hu Hai rejected his suggestion, how could he just let it go?
He took a step towards Duhe.

Seeing Zhao Gao walking towards him, Du He just glanced at it and skipped it directly.

see.

Zhao Gao's face froze, and his heart was full of resentment.

If he was still favored by Emperor Shi Huang as before, how dare Du He despise himself so much?
But the situation is stronger than the people.

He has long been rejected by the first emperor, and when Hu Hai was in court last time, he slapped Du He and others in face. As Hu Hai's close minister, how could he get a good face?

Zhao Gao took a few more steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Does Young Master Du know why His Majesty is in a hurry to establish a crown prince? Also, do you know why Mr. Hu Hai dare not fight in the court?"

heard.

Du He's eyes sank, with a bit of displeasure.

He looked at Zhao Gao coldly, as if he didn't take Zhao Gao's words into his ears at all, and said coldly: "You are a eunuch, and you still want to try to figure out His Majesty's mind?"

Hearing Du He's sarcasm, Zhao Gao was also furious, but in the end he suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "I am a eunuch, of course I dare not, but I am also Mr. Hu Hai's foreign teacher after all, and I know about Mr. Hu Hai's situation." Quite a few, at the previous court meeting, Mr. Hu Hai was uncharacteristically indisputable, aren't you all curious?"

"As an eunuch, I really don't know His Majesty's thoughts, but Mr. Hu Hai may not."

"Oh?" Du He frowned, with a serious expression on his face, but he was still a little frivolous, he said doubtfully, "Let's just talk about it."

talking.

He winked at the surroundings and asked the officials around to move away a little.

Zhao Gao said flatteringly: "I, Zhao Gao, don't know much, but after all, I have a close relationship with Mr. Hu Hai. Mr. Hu Hai has many things to say to his subordinates. After Nan Hai came back, Mr. Hu Hai told his subordinates very clearly. , I have no chance to become the crown prince."

"It is also said that since then, His Majesty has made up his mind to make Mr. Fu Su the crown prince."

"and"

"Standing up is not the end."

"It's the beginning of a big scene."

"Mr. Hu Hai doesn't know much about this, but from Mr. Hu Hai's mouth, the officials did hear some news, that is, His Majesty will issue some decrees in the name of consolidating Mr. Fusu's position as the crown prince after the establishment of the crown prince. Change some of the current situation."

Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Du He, who didn't pay much attention at first, became energetic all of a sudden.

His eyes exuded a frightening coldness.

There was a look of coldness in Zhao Gao's eyes, and he continued: "The reason why your Majesty didn't go to court a while ago is not because he was really in poor health, but because he did it on purpose, in order to create an atmosphere of establishing a reserve."

"Then there was a follow-up establishment of a reserve."

"Currently, all the officials think that His Majesty is in poor health, and they have no objection to this. In fact, they have all fallen into His Majesty's calculations. Now that His Majesty is in poor health, and the crown prince is newly established. At that time, in order to let the crown prince sit firmly in the position, His Majesty will do something. Some drastic moves, presumably the ministers can also understand, and will make corresponding concessions."

heard.

Du He's pupils shrank slightly, and white sweat overflowed from his forehead.

He said in a concentrated voice, "Do you know what His Majesty will do next?"

Zhao Gao shook his head contemptuously, and said with a light smile: "I am an eunuch, how can I have the right to know these things? But it must be a matter of wide-ranging implications for His Majesty to be so deliberate. Otherwise, why would His Majesty be so obsessed with opposing Chu?" Is it even established in such a hurry?"

"Has His Majesty ever been so eager before?"

"also."

"I'm afraid most of you have heard about Mr. Hu Hai's attack in Lingnan, but until now, more than half a month has passed, and His Majesty has not given a conclusion on this. Don't you really have any doubts in your heart?"

Du He looked Zhao Gao up and down.

He was somewhat convinced by what Zhao Gao said.

The Lingnan matter has been suppressed all the time, it's not normal at all, it's just that the first emperor didn't open his mouth, they as courtiers, it's not easy for them to ask, and after all it involves the face of the royal family, how can they intervene?

But after what Zhao Gao said, how could Du He not understand, this is because His Majesty has other ideas.

And the picture is probably not small.

It's just that Zhao Gao told himself the news, what was his intention, and what was his intention?
Du He didn't hide it, and asked directly: "I don't know Zhao Zhongche's government order, what do you want to do when you tell this news to my subordinates?"

Zhao Gao chuckled, and said, "Young Master Du is overthinking."

"I, Zhao Gao, have no idea."

"I just want to tell you that Mr. Hu Hai didn't withdraw voluntarily, but he had to withdraw, and there was no way to continue to insist. If he continued to fight in the court at that time, His Majesty would definitely be dissatisfied, so please don't mind it. It's really not what Mr. Hu Hai intended."

Du He took a deep look at Zhao Gao, and also smiled heartily.

He calmly said: "Since it is His Majesty's request, Mr. Hu Hai's avoidance is justifiable. As courtiers, how can we blame him? This time, I would also like to thank Zhao Zhongche's government order for informing such important news."

Zhao Gao smiled, squinted his eyes, nodded and said: "I have already told you the news, so I won't stay here any longer. Du Shaofu should pay more attention during this time, the court may not be peaceful."

Done.

Zhao Gao left quickly.

When Zhao Gao walked away completely, Du He's eyes suddenly darkened.

soon.

The other officials gathered again.

Yao Jia said in a low voice, "What did Zhao Gao say?"

Du He sneered, and said coldly: "Our young master didn't really give up fighting for the reserve, but he had to give up last time in the court."

"Your Majesty has started to make arrangements in the court again. The last time the eldest son made a fuss, he made a big fuss about the Tingwei Mansion. This time, His Majesty can even give it to the crown prince. I'm afraid the plot will be even bigger."

Yao Jia's gaze sank.

Du He continued: "We may have been fooled by His Majesty this time. There is no problem with His Majesty's health. Everything is just a game, and we all jumped into it."

"Next"

"I'm afraid there will be a storm in the court."

Du He let out a long sigh, but his eyes became extremely sharp.

He still smelled something unusual. This time Fusu came back, not only him, but also Meng Tian and Li Xin. These two men had high prestige in the army, and Hu Hai had an accident in the South China Sea. No matter how you look at it, it looks unusual.

Yao Jia glanced at Du He, but did not continue to ask.

They raised their heads and looked at Fusu who was not far away, and there was a trace of vague worry in their eyes. Compared with the relief of other courtiers, they felt that Fusu had different political views from themselves and others.

Fusu used to be like a piece of jade in the rough, making people feel very at ease.

But now Fusu has been polished into a jade sword, just like the jade sword tied around his waist now, showing its sharpness, full of threats and oppression to them, the elders of the empire.

Last time regarding the matter of salt and iron, Du He and Fu Su had political conflicts, and the previous Legislative Chu court meeting also fully exposed this difference. Even if Du He wanted to make amends, Fu Su might not be easy Acceptance, and political differences, are difficult for both sides to accept.

After the coronation ceremony.

The matter of Fusu becoming the crown prince is completely settled.

However, unlike the cheers in the courtyard of the Taimiao, there was an uneasy discussion in Xianyang City.

After all, after more than a hundred years of iron and blood war, the rise and fall of strength has become a belief deeply rooted in the world, and the faith upheld by Fusu in the past is too easy to be equated with the pedantic benevolent government and the empty kingly way. So voices of doubt began to spread in Xianyang City.

The previous changes in Fusu were short-lived, or there were real changes.

No one dares to make a judgment lightly.

And all of this will have to wait for the Crown Prince who has already been crowned with a sword to formally govern in the future.

Fusu didn't pay attention to the doubts in Xianyang City.

In the next few days, he visited various government offices one after another, his attitude was very low, he was respectful and dignified without showing any hypocrisy, let alone showing the slightest arrogance and pomp, which convinced many courtiers.

Compared with Fusu's triumphant spring breeze, Hu Hai was obviously completely silent.

In the past few days, he didn't even stay in the palace, he just found a reason and ran to Ji Heng's side, and called it, out of sight, out of mind.

Ji Heng didn't care.

but.

Xianyang's tranquility is destined to be temporary.

Ji Heng knew it, Fu Su knew it, Du He and the others knew it too, and everyone was waiting, waiting for Da Qin, the crown prince, to take office.

Ten days later, this fire came!
