Many clans in the city received letters from Hua Fu.
Looking at the "check" tied with a rope, each recipient's attitude was different, but in the end, they still chose to open the "seal".
Looking at the contents of the letter, everyone's expressions were completely different.
Some people looked at it for a few times and then put it aside. Some people thought for a long time and sighed, then put it aside. But some people thought about it briefly and immediately drafted a new memorial.
The attitude of all the major clans towards this is evident.
Prince's Mansion.
The night is already deep.
Wang Ben also received a message from Hua Fu.
He did not open it in a hurry, but put it on the table, and then carried a bowl of soup to the next room. There were several maids in this room, serving the old man on the couch. Wang Ben waved to everyone, surrounded by
The maid also quickly withdrew.
Wang Ben approached slightly.
In the living room, a skinny old man fell asleep weakly, snoring heavily from time to time, and drool flowed indecently from his slightly opened mouth to his neck. Seeing this, Wang Ben couldn't help but burst into tears.
.
He shouted softly:
"Aweng."
As if he heard the call, the sleeping old man on the bed opened his eyes slightly, his face already had a dull expression, his bony cheeks twitched slightly, he gritted his teeth tightly, and suffered from the unspeakable huge pain all over his body.
If you are not familiar with the old man in front of you, you may not recognize that this is Wang Jian, the once all-powerful general of the Qin State.
Wang Jian gasped unsteadily.
Wang Ben's heart was so sour and hot that he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he was so choked that he couldn't make a sound.
"Aweng..."
Wang Ben put the decoction in a spoon and fed it to Wang Jian's mouth. He choked back the tears that filled his eyes and said:
"Aweng drink the medicine."
"This is the medicine ordered by the imperial doctor."
"Aweng drank the medicine and his health got better."
Wang Jian looked hard to find Wang Ben beside the couch, and motioned to his son to help him sit upright. Wang Ben quickly put the soup aside and stretched out his hand to help the skinny Wang Jian upright.
Sit up straight.
Wang Jian's cloudy eyes became much clearer.
He said slowly:
"Bier."
"Your sincerity and filial piety are known to my father."
"It's just that you are the Grand Lieutenant of the Great Qin Dynasty. How can you easily slack off in political affairs for a dying man like me?"
"Aweng..." Wang Ben cried.
Wang Jian raised his palms, gasped a few times, and then said: "We, the Wang family, have been loyal to the Qin Dynasty for generations, and we will never do anything to disappoint His Majesty. My time is running out, and I remind you again, our Wang family has only one ancestral motto."
, which means 'loyal to Da Qin and loyal to the royal family of Da Qin'."
"You remember clearly."
Wang Ben nodded and said: "I know."
Wang Jian continued:
"Bier, you have a strong and honest character. I'm not worried about you. It's just Wang Li and Wang Ping, the juniors. Don't lose your mind for them. I know that His Majesty wants to give Shuru to the young master Hu Hai, but you
These juniors must be warned not to get involved."
"I, the Wang family, are looking after the king."
"Among the princes, who will be the second emperor and who will be the prime minister of my family?"
"Ahem."
Wang Ben quickly took Wang Jian's hand and said urgently, "Aweng, stop talking. I know everything you said and Wang will not participate in this."
"I understand what Aweng is thinking."
"The merit of supporting the emperor can indeed ensure the wealth of my Wang family, but if something goes wrong, it will be a disaster for the Wang family. Although the Wang family will not be favored by the emperor, it is enough for these juniors to keep the family business."
"I see."
"I understand everything."
"Aweng, please stop talking."
"Drink medicine."
Hear the words.
Wang Jian nodded.
Then he opened his mouth and took a few sips of the decoction.
After drinking, Wang Ben carefully laid Aweng down on the couch and covered him with the white quilt again. Wang Jian fell asleep again.
At this time.
Wang Ben suddenly coughed.
He didn't dare to wake Aweng, so he quickly covered his mouth and went outside the house. He coughed several times and then he got better. However, the palm of his hand that he had just covered his mouth had blood overflowing from between his fingers.
Wang Ben glanced at it and didn't care.
I wiped it off with a sweat towel and returned to the study.
Looking at the letter sent from Huafu, Wang Ben also had a strange look in his eyes.
The Wang clan has not been around other clans for a long time.
When the Huafu and other clans united to force the palace, the Wang clan did not participate, so they were deliberately alienated by these clans, and they immediately lost contact with her. In addition, his daughter Wang Shuru was given a marriage by His Majesty to the young master Hu Hai.
This made the relationship between the two even colder.
How could Huafu send a letter to himself?
So solemn!
In the Qin Dynasty, letters were made of wood chips and envelopes were also made of wood chips.
Confidential documents and letters are made of two upper and lower wooden slips. The lower slip is called a letter and is used for writing letters. The upper slip is called a seal and is used to seal the letter. There are grooves for binding ropes on the check for sealing and sealing.
After people write a letter, they will use another blank slip of the same size to cover the words. If the letter is longer, the front and back of the slip will be filled with words, or another slip will be added, and finally the letter will be covered with words on the back.
A blank slip.
Whether it ends up being two pieces of documents, three pieces, or more, they will be sandwiched together like a sandwich and tied with a rope.
This is a letter from the Qin Dynasty.
Ordinary letters do not need to be sealed.
What is silence?
In order to prevent someone from quietly untying the rope and peeking into the letter, confidentiality measures were specially implemented, that is, a special sealing mud was put on the knotted place, and then a seal was stamped on the mud surface. This procedure is called "sealing".
'.
After this kind of letter is delivered to the recipient, the recipient has to use a knife to pry open the seal. If someone in the middle pries open the seal without permission, the seal cannot be restored, and the recipient will naturally know if there is any leakage in the process.
People have read the letter.
Wang Ben used a knife to pry open the mud seal.
He took out the 'letter' from the letter and read it carefully.
Finished reading.
Wang Ben also looked solemn.
Said to himself:
"I just feel strange why this matter broke out so quickly. It turns out that the situation is like this. In today's court, internal worries are greater than external ones."
"Some people are too selfish!"
Wang Ben snorted coldly and started writing the memorial.
...
Li's study room.
Li Si sat beside the case, his eyes deep and solemn.
At this time, Li Si's gray beard and hair, which he had washed today, were scattered around his shoulders in a messy manner. However, he wore the Xie Zhi crown, which symbolized his identity, very neatly, and there was a pan bag with a seal hanging on his waist. The whole person looked a little weird.
.
Behind him is a bronze lampstand.
Under the bright light, one can see that Li Si's study room is spacious, like a huge hall, with bookshelves and boards staggered inside. Long bamboo slips of various sizes are hung all over the bookshelves, and there are mountains of documents on each major case.
It's like a large library.
Listi pen.
But I haven’t put pen to paper for a long time.
Not long after.
A minister said outside the door: "Parents, someone just sent news that Huafu has written letters to all the major clans in Guanzhong."
Li Si put down his pen.
asked:
"Do you know what Hua Fu wrote?"
Li Chen said:
"I never found out."
"Huafu's letters are sealed. No one knows the contents of the letters sent by Huafu except the parents."
Li Si frowned slightly.
"Send someone to inquire."
"yes."
Sitting beside the case, Li Si frowned and said thoughtfully:
"What does Hua Fu want to do?"
"In the past, the Guanzhong clan was very low-key, but recently Huafu has been uncharacteristically different. Not only has it become more and more active, it has even begun to unite with other clans."
"There must be a hidden secret that I don't know about."
"It's just that the tenth young master died young, and the Guanzhong clan looks down on the other young masters. It's unlikely that they would oppose the eldest young master. They have always chosen to follow the trend in the past. Why did they suddenly change from normal this time?"
"wrong."
"There's something fishy about this!"
Li Si's political sense is very keen.
He sensed something was wrong.
He recalled what happened in the DPRK and China recently.
at last.
He focused his attention on Tian Zheng.
He said in a deep voice:
"His Majesty did not return yesterday, so today he suddenly issued an order to let all officials discuss land affairs."
"The Guanzhong clan is still ready to make a move."
"In addition to supporting the Tenth Young Master, they also support His Majesty."
"The matter of Tianzheng was proposed by the eldest son. If His Majesty supports it, the Guanzhong clan will not choose to act rashly. They are not willing to offend the eldest son now. Now that there are changes in Huafu and they have contacted other clans, I am afraid they have obtained His Majesty's will."
Think of this.
Li Si blurted out directly:
"Your Majesty has opinions on reforming land administration!"
"There is indeed something fishy about the land administration. It broke out all at once, as fast as lightning. The land administration of the Qin Dynasty is complete. In fact, this kind of thing should not happen."
"Your Majesty may have noticed something."
"Start to be wary of officials from the former Six Kingdoms."
"Changes in the court are coming soon. If some officials really have second thoughts, I have to prepare in advance to avoid being implicated. If this land affairs matter is not handled properly, it may become the second case of expulsion.
event."
"The policy document to be submitted tomorrow should be done with great caution."
Li Si looked solemn.
He thought for a moment and started writing.
at the same time.
All the officials also wrote political proposals.
Nothing happened in Xianyang.
However, some officials who were keen on political affairs noticed that this time the land administration was unusual, and under the calm Xianyang, there was already an undercurrent surging.
...
The next day.
Qin Luoheng went to class as usual.
He was not affected by the Da Qin Tianzheng.
Do your best in human matters and know your destiny.
He has tried his best to help. If the situation cannot be changed, it can only be said that it is the fate of Da Qin and it is not something he can change.
Qin Luoheng walked towards the school room carrying a bookcase on his back.
Close to the classroom.
Suddenly someone called him from behind.
"Is that Qin Shizi in front of you?"
Qin Luoheng was stunned.
Look back.
But he didn't recognize the two people in front of him.
Doubtfully said:
"Who are you two?"
The two of them looked at each other, with joy in their eyes, and stepped forward and said, "Qin Shizi, we are the servants arranged by the young master to farm the land for Shizi."
"Li Chenda (Li Chen'an) has met his parents."
Seeing the two people suddenly saluting him, Qin Luoheng was a little at a loss. He quickly stretched out his hand to help the two people up, and said in surprise: "I know this is happening, but my fields haven't come down yet, and the minister has
