Chapter 241 Pingyuan Tsu (I)

Since he shot that big fish in Chengshanjiao, the First Emperor always felt inexplicably tired.

He ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and it has been thirty-eight years in the blink of an eye... The young man who was in his prime back then is now an old man with gray hair.

Since ascending the throne, I have been thinking hard every day and have not been able to relax for a moment.

From the beginning, the foundation was gone. Faced with Lu Buwei's aggressive attitude, the First Emperor did not dare to relax at all. Then, his mother, whom he loved deeply, always wanted to replace his throne. Outside, there were Lu Buwei and Gongzi Chuang, and inside, the forced by his mother and Lao Ai. In such an environment, how could the First Emperor dare to think about other things?

The child of others is thirteen years old at the age of happiness.

However, Emperor Ying Zheng of the First Emperor had to face a treacherous situation.

First, he used a trick to get rid of Prince Chuang, and then killed Lao Ai and Lu Buwei. Only then did Ying Zheng truly become the master of the Qin Dynasty.

However, just when Ying Zheng felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief, the threat from the six Shandong countries came again.

In the first two years of his administration, Ying Zheng was even more cautious, walking on thin ice. Natural disasters, man-made disasters... almost all disasters were piled up together. The Zheng Guo Canal was built, Li Si's "Letter of Admonition and Exiting Guests" was accepted by Li Si, sootheing people's hearts and preparing troops. Step by step, only Ying Zheng himself knew the hardships. It took seventeen years to finally unify the world and become the eternal emperor who earned the Three Emperors.

However, after unification, a new round of challenges has come.

Sometimes, Ying Zheng felt that he was born to overcome difficulties.

However, after shooting the big fish, Ying Zheng was really tired when he looked at the tired self in the bronze mirror.

In the end, he made up his mind to appoint Fusu as the crown prince. So he canceled the tour that he should have continued and turned back to Xianyang.

Arrangement of Meng Yi is just a signal.

From the moment, the courtiers basically have no objection to this decision.

The dream of immortality is no longer realistic. In fact, from the moment Qin Qing passed away, the First Emperor had given up on this dream. After the government was handed over to Fusu, he might be able to relax and consider things he had never considered before.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng closed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he opened his eyes and picked up the brush on the desk.

Before Fusu can't fully control all this, I'll put more effort into it.

"Your Majesty, all the memorials sent by Xianyang have been processed."

In the big tent, only Li Si is accompanying him.

After writing the last stroke with Zhuang Zheng's Qin Xiaozhuan, he whispered: "What else does Your Majesty have? If not, I will take your leave first."

"Oh, not busy!"

The First Emperor waved his hand and signaled Li Si not to leave first.

The memorial in front of me was sent by Meng Tian to Xianyang, and then jointly issued the instructions by the Taiwei Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and sent it to Pingyuanjin in a hurry for 600 miles.

As usual, Meng Tian used simple words to explain the matter very clearly.

Wuyuan County has now basically stabilized, the road has been built and the project to repair the Great Walls of various countries has come to an end.

Although the land in Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Shangjun and other places are fertile, the population is sparse due to years of wars.

Based on the current situation, some of the Qin army stationed in the above three places need to be reduced, otherwise it will put huge pressure on the northern border.

Meng Tian means that the Central Plains region is now weak, so he can take this opportunity to draw 150,000 troops from the above three counties and camp in Taiyuan, Shangdang, Hengshan, Julu and Handan. As long as these 150,000 troops enter the above three counties, Shandong can be determined.

At the same time, the troops in the northern border can be reduced to 350,000, which can also reduce the burden on the counties in the northern border.

The First Emperor thought about it and wrote the word "Ke" on this memorial. Then he closed the memorial and stretched his waist tightly.

"Zhao Gao, bring two cups of wine!"

Soon, Zhao Gao held two cups of flower-carved wine and placed it in front of Emperor Shin-Heronor and Li Si.

"Li Si, you are old..."

"ah!"

"I clearly remember how heroic you were when I first met you. But in a flash of thirty years, you were covered in hair and my temples were gray.

My grandson is ten years old this year.”

Li Si was stunned at first, and couldn't help but feel countless emotions and nodded slightly.

"I am going to go back and I will come back!"

Li Si raised his head in surprise and glanced at the First Emperor. If it were in the past, the First Emperor would not have discussed such a thing with him. Thinking about the time when he was waiting for a group of ministers to oppose the First Emperor's release of Fusu, but the First Emperor did not compromise. Now, how have we discussed it?

"As long as you count, the eldest son has been in northern Xinjiang and has been practicing for four years.

Now the northern border is peaceful, and although there are occasional chaos in Donghu, it is a tinea thorn. Yuezhi Kingdom is also very honest. The last time he gave Princess Yuezhi's intention to marry His Majesty, I think there is no courage. It is no problem to call the eldest son back to Xianyang, so I naturally agree."

"Let Hu Hai go to the northern border to experience it!"

"this……"

"This child is becoming more and more incompetent. A few days ago, I heard that he ignored the Iron Eagle Ruiz who protected him in Zhuluo Mountain.

The Ruishi lost an arm for him, but he felt that the Ruishi lost his face.

He is so cold and weak, and he is not a son of man. In the past, I always thought that he was young and would be better to stay by my side. But I didn’t want to be like this. I was really heartbroken. I asked him to go to Wuyuan to practice for a while. If I still couldn’t become a talent, I had to give up on him.”

This is a royal matter, and Li Si really dare not say anything.

He can understand the feeling of a father who wants his son to become a dragon.

The First Emperor loved Hu Hai very much, so it was OK to have expectations for him. But he really couldn't say anything about this matter...

Li Si was wondering: If Fusu came back, could he still have the power he used to be? In contrast, Fusu would trust Er Meng more... Maybe he would have more trust in the Beiguang Wujun than him. At that time, where should he go?

If you fight for fame and fortune for your whole life, you will have to worry about gains and losses for this fame and fortune.

Li Si couldn't help but feel a little moved, so he didn't hear clearly what the First Emperor said later.

"Li Si, how long has it been since you and I been talking all night long like today?"

"Ah...but it's been a few days!"

Li Si came to his senses and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty is in charge of everything he wants. If you are not willing to share your worries, it is hard to disturb you again."

"Haha, don't talk about this scene, our monarch and ministers will just sleep today. What do you think?"

Sleeping with Emperor Qin Shi and having a long conversation all night?

This has not been done before. But since the First Emperor began to conquer the six kingdoms, he has never been done like this again.

A warm feeling surged in Li Si's heart.

The little resentment I had towards the First Emperor was suddenly gone. Even if the eldest son succeeded to the throne in the future, I would lose my power. I would have no regrets if I could get this kind of love today. Forget it, the dead are so old, why should I always be attached to power?

Zhao Gaoduan brought two yellow mutton soup, with green chopped green onion sprinkled on it, which made people lose their appetite when they saw it.

Li Si was old and had long lost interest in this greasy food. On the contrary, Emperor Qin Shi was really hungry, and ate the yellow mutton in the soup voraciously, then picked up the cauldron and drank the mutton soup gulp, and then stopped satisfied.

"Li Si, why don't you use it?"

When the First Emperor saw that the yellow mutton soup in front of Li Si did not move, he asked in surprise: "I remember, you could eat the three tripods in one meal."

"Haha, I am really old!" Li Si sighed: "If I had seen such delicious food in the past, I would have been unable to bear it for a long time. But now, I always feel greasy. My body is not good enough. Don't talk about three tripods, even one tripod is afraid I can't eat it."

"Come on, you and my king and minister, share it with you and eat it!"

Li Si smiled and picked up the copper tripod, walked over and gave half of the first emperor.

At this moment, Zhao Gao's feminine voice came from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask for my opinion!"

Hu Hai?

The First Emperor couldn't help but be surprised: It's so late, what will Hu Hai do? Besides, what can he do? Do you want to say it at this time?

Although he was very dissatisfied with Hu Hai, he was his favorite child after all.

The reason why he was dissatisfied was that he was angry that he did not fight. The First Emperor thought about it and said in a deep voice: "Let him come in."

Hu Hai walked into the big tent timidly, while Zhao Gao followed him.

"Hu Hai, it's so late, what can I do to talk about tomorrow?"

"Ah, I'll take my leave first!" Seeing this situation, Li Si quickly stood up and said goodbye. However, he was stopped by the First Emperor and signaled him to sit firmly aside.

Hu Hai's round little face now showed a pathological paleness.

His fear of his father made him tremble slightly from the moment he walked into the tent. His mouth opened, wanting to speak, but he didn't dare to speak. The First Emperor looked down upon people the most, especially this person, who was his son, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

"If you have anything to say, just leave if you have nothing to do."

Zhao Gao stood behind Hu Hai and gently stepped on Hu Hai's heels.

Hu Hai gritted his teeth and plucked up his courage and said, "Father, I heard that you want me to go to Wuyuan County. I wonder if this is true?"

It was quite loud at the beginning, but in the end, the voice became less consciously.

The First Emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Who did you hear?"

That gaze soon fell on Zhao Gao behind Hu Hai.

Hu Hai gritted his teeth, "Father, don't ask Erchen who heard him... What Erchen wants to say is that Erchen doesn't want to go to Wuyuan."

Ha, so brave!

Li Si couldn't help but look at Hu Hai curiously. In the past, I couldn't tell that this kid had such a courage. However, no matter how you look at it, Hu Hai was so harsh and weak on the inside. The reason why he could say this was probably because someone taught him behind his back. As for who was the one who taught him...

Without guessing, Li Si can also see a rough idea.

But why did Zhao Gao have the courage to instigate Hu Hai to speak like this?
