Chapter 275: Fighting for fame means fighting for power!
Kong Zhai.
Zixiang has returned home.
As soon as he entered the house, he sent someone to invite Fusu. When he heard that Zixiang went to invite Fusu, Kong Yu also hurried over and asked about the situation.
Kong Yu frowned and said:
"Brother Xiang, what do you mean?"
"The eldest son returned to Xianyang secretly this time. By calling the eldest son here, wouldn't you be exposing his whereabouts?"
Zixiang said:
"Brother, don't lie to yourself."
"Can't Shen Zhi and Zhang Cang, who are sitting here this time, recognize the eldest son?"
"Tao She and others have also been there before. With so many people present, brother, do you really think that the news of the eldest son's return can be hidden? It's just that everyone else chose to turn a blind eye or close one eye, but the eldest son is back.
The news may have already fallen into the ears of the First Emperor."
“Is there any point in deceiving oneself?”
Kong Yu was silent for a long time, and then he said: "No one else said anything. If we go to invite the eldest son with great fanfare, don't we want everyone to know about it? In addition, what do you want to do by inviting the eldest son here?"
Kong Yu's eyes were full of confusion.
Zixiang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The others didn't say anything before, so they won't say anything this time either. The reason why I invited the eldest son here is to discuss important matters."
"I want the eldest son to inform the close court officials."
"Let them write a letter to establish a heir apparent!"
Hear the words.
Kong Yu's face changed slightly.
He did not dare to ask directly. He looked around nervously to make sure there was no one around. Then he cautiously closed the doors and windows. Then he went to Zixiang and said in a serious voice: "Why did you suddenly have this idea?"
"The scale of this grand event is unprecedented, and Qin Luoheng is also in the limelight. You asked the eldest son to send someone to write a letter to establish the crown prince. What does your majesty think?"
"Your Majesty has always been ambiguous about the establishment of the crown prince, and has never made a clear statement. If the letter angers Your Majesty and His Majesty blames it, who can bear it?"
"Besides."
"It is true that many people know about the eldest son's return to Xianyang, but they have not disclosed it. If the eldest son asks other courtiers to submit a letter, and when your majesty inquires about it, he will definitely ask about the eldest son's situation. Then, wouldn't the eldest son be
Have you committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"You are so calm on weekdays, why are you so anxious this time?"
Zixiang shook his head and said:
"Brother, I'm calm."
"Perhaps now is the best opportunity for the eldest son!"
"I have recently heard some news. After this grand meeting, the transfer of imperial officials will be announced one after another. A large number of people from the Guanzhong clan will be re-employed. It is self-evident what this move means."
"The eldest son's advantage lies in the court."
"When the Guanzhong clan is reactivated, the advantage of the eldest son will be gone. At that time, the Guanzhong clan will definitely build momentum for the tenth son. At this event, the reputation of the tenth son will undoubtedly rise to a new height, and he will win a lot of honors."
The scholars and the people unanimously recognized it.”
"One thing is going down, the other is going up, how can the eldest son have a chance?"
"Besides."
"Qin Luoheng is too popular."
"But if the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it!"
"Qin Luoheng violated a taboo this time. If I guess correctly, he will definitely be suppressed by the First Emperor when this grand event is over."
"It doesn't matter whether the eldest son's identity is exposed or not. This grand event is coming to an end. In my opinion, the eldest son's identity is revealed at this time, which actually has more advantages than disadvantages!"
"Tomorrow we will visit Xianyang City."
"If the identity of the eldest son is exposed, it will definitely attract the attention of the whole audience. It will undoubtedly weaken Qin Luoheng's influence and win over many scholars. Moreover, the eldest son's ability to pass this review has proven his ability.
With his talents, and the practical governance strategies he proposed at the event, he will undoubtedly gain a lot of support from the people."
"Achieve three birds with one stone, why not?"
"Besides."
"The eldest son has such a gentle personality."
"If the eldest sons don't fight with each other, they will be cannibalized sooner or later."
"Exposing his identity will certainly make the First Emperor dissatisfied, but in terms of the final gain, the benefits undoubtedly outweigh the disadvantages, and this move will also reveal the news that the eldest son already knows that Qin Luoheng is the tenth son.
.”
"That's the key."
"The eldest son has never argued in the past, but why is it unusual this time?"
"It's because Qin Luoheng put too much pressure on the eldest son, so he had to fight. How smart is the First Emperor? How could he not see the reason? And this time Qin Luoheng had already committed a taboo, no matter who was successful in the end.
Failure to do so will cause the First Emperor to be wary of Qin Luoheng."
"And that's the real purpose!
"
Kong Yu was confused when he heard this.
He had no idea where Qin Luoheng had violated the taboo?
He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yu didn't understand. Why did you say with certainty that Qin Luoheng violated a taboo? Where did he violate a taboo? Why didn't I see it?"
Zixiang took a deep breath.
explained:
"The ancestors said: only the weapon and the name can't be faked!"
"What's Qin Luoheng's reputation in the city?"
Kong Yu said:
"It's at its peak, and the whole city is paying attention."
"But this event was personally approved by His Majesty. Even if it has this effect, it is as it should be. How could it be a taboo?"
Zixiang shook his head and said:
“It’s understandable to have such a great reputation for hosting a grand event.”
"but......"
"Isn't that what Qin Luoheng has done?"
"Everyone knows that this is just a 'discussion', so anything can be said, anything can be said, but it can only be said that Qin Luoheng not only said it, but actually put it into action, and this
It just violates the taboo."
"Qin Ting has always been domineering."
"People have always been strictly prohibited from doing things that violate the law."
"All things can be said, but not done."
"Even if you really want to do it! It can only be done by the imperial court, or in other words, it must be done by the imperial court and handed over to him. It must be led by the imperial court from the beginning to the end."
"The reason why the grand event arouses people's carnival."
"In addition to the arrival of all the famous people and wise men in the world, what's more important is that Qin Luoheng stirred up emotions time and time again. He hinted or made it clear to the world more than once that Qin Ting was really prepared for great rule, and he told everyone what he had done.
Go out and argue your case."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "And this is precisely not acceptable to Qin Ting."
"He overstepped his bounds!"
"During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong. Many officials asked the government to open the Five Gardens to relieve the people, but King Zhaoxiang always refused. Therefore, there were rumors outside the Guan at that time that there was a severe famine in Qin, the dead were counted, and the country would be in chaos.
After the death of the Qin Dynasty, Guanzhong suffered another severe drought for ten years, but this time His Majesty took the initiative to release the Forbidden Garden."
"Two severe droughts, different results."
"The problem is the name."
"Qin's law is from top to bottom, so kindness can only be given from top to bottom, and it can never be forced from the bottom to the top. The people of the world can only express their gratitude to the 'high', not to the 'court'
Be it an official or a clerk, Qin Luoheng is just an official, and what he does is undoubtedly lower than Lingshang."
"This is something that cannot be tolerated by Qin law!"
"Even if he is the son of the First Emperor, the First Emperor will definitely choose to ignore him, because the First Emperor will not allow anyone to set a precedent, because with the first person, there will definitely be a second person, a third person, and even more.
When there are too many people who disrupt the law, the law loses its prestige."
"in addition."
"At this grand gathering, some people compared Qin Luoheng to the First Emperor."
“How can a king and his ministers compare?”
"This is definitely adding fuel to the fire."
"And Qin Luoheng's reputation is really great."
"The instrument and name cannot be faked."
"Qin Luoheng's reputation is too great, and he has the reputation of the Tian clan who replaced Qi in the past. When the Guanzhong clan is reused in the future, Qin Luoheng's reputation will probably be even higher. Since ancient times, most of those who have achieved great achievements have not ended well.
, if the prince’s reputation is too great, the First Emperor may also feel restless.”
"What's more, the people who are close to Qin Luoheng are the Guanzhong clan."
"These clans have military power!"
Hear the words.
Kong Yu understood instantly.
Qin Luoheng's reputation in Xianyang is too high.
He is already on good terms with the Guanzhong clan. Once he is restored to the title of Young Master and attracts the attention of the world, his reputation will undoubtedly be further enhanced. At that time, he may be coerced into asking to be established as the crown prince.
What would the First Emperor do then?
Kong Yu shook his head.
He already had the answer.
Qin Luoheng's success is also famous, and his failure is also famous.
His reputation among the people was so good that even the First Emperor was wary of him. Now he was just a doctor, but he had already made the eldest son so panicked. When he regained his title as a prince, wouldn't he be able to follow the First Emperor directly?
Is the emperor fighting for power?
Name is power!
Qin Luoheng dares to compete with the imperial court for fame now, which means that he will dare to compete with the First Emperor for power in the future.
This cannot be tolerated by any emperor.
so.
Qin Luoheng will definitely be suppressed!
And this is indeed a rare opportunity for the eldest son.
The more Qin Luoheng is in the limelight now, the weaker the eldest son seems to be. Even if he cannot become the crown prince in the end, he will definitely get more attention from the First Emperor.
Kong Yu said:
"Brother Xiang, what you said is very true."
"I was almost fooled by appearances."
"When the eldest son goes to fight for the crown prince, the purpose is not to win, but to make the First Emperor realize that Qin Luoheng's influence is so great that even the eldest son has to fight for it. After the first emperor thinks about all this,
They will definitely start to suppress Qin Luoheng’s influence, and even..."
"Delay the announcement of Qin Luoheng's identity!"
"Dr. Qin poses no threat to the First Emperor."
"But the Tenth Young Master is different."
"He can truly threaten the power of the First Emperor."
"If the eldest son really dares to take risks, he will undoubtedly cause serious damage to Qin Luoheng."
Kong Yu looked excited.
At this time.
There are officials outside the door who come to report.
Zixiang went to open the door, and there was only one official outside the house.
Zixiang frowned and said dissatisfied: "Where is the eldest son?"
The minister bowed and said: "The eldest son said that he is just a scholar Bo Qin at the moment, not the eldest son Fusu, so he refused to come to the mansion. The eldest son... also asked me to tell the head of the family that he should not do it in the future.
If we go to find him again, he doesn't want his identity to be known to everyone."
Zixiang's face turned anxious.
But he just waved his hand and signaled the ministers to retreat.
When the ministers walked away, they paused and said: "Why is the eldest son so stubborn? He still thinks about the love of brothers, but if he misses this opportunity and wants to suppress Qin Luoheng again, he doesn't know when."
