Qin Luoheng went outside the imperial carriage of the First Emperor.
The security in front of the imperial chariot was very tight. Even the First Emperor's personal guards were searched repeatedly. Qin Luoheng stood tall outside the imperial chariot and said respectfully: "The minister ordered Qin Luoheng to see your majesty."
There was silence everywhere.
After some time, there was a response from the imperial chariot. However, it was not the First Emperor who spoke, but the eunuch serving in the chariot loudly said: "Your Majesty has an order, and he has been ordered by the Minister of Qin to enter the chariot."
The voice fell.
A eunuch jumped out of the imperial chariot, placed a wooden pier outside the imperial chariot, and then said with a smile on his face: "Qin Shangshu ordered, please."
Qin Luoheng bowed slightly, then stepped on the wooden pier and entered the imperial chariot.
It was cold outside, but it was very warm inside the imperial carriage. Qin Luoheng did not dare to look around. As soon as he entered the carriage, he bowed directly and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Luoheng, is here to see you."
Ying Zheng did not raise his head, but just hummed, and then said: "I heard that you want to go out?"
Qin Luoheng said:
"I dare not lie to Your Majesty. I did apply to the Prime Minister to go out. I have been traveling hard. I usually have nothing else to do except help with some trivial matters during the march. Now it is spring plowing, and the Secretary I am in charge of has a farmer's son.
Therefore, I consider it my duty to do spring plowing."
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."
Ying Zheng raised his head slightly and said calmly: "It is true that the minister you serve as minister has children from farmers, but the matter of spring plowing must be related to the management of millet. Your excuse is not enough."
Finished.
Ying Zheng waved his hands in all directions.
The eunuchs around him immediately understood, bowed to the First Emperor, and slowly exited the chariot.
See the situation.
Qin Luoheng's expression became more upright.
After all the eunuchs around him got out of the car, and only the two of them were left in the car, Ying Zheng said: "I know what you are thinking. You just can't stand the loneliness and want to go out for activities, such as a farm, etc.
It’s an excuse.”
Qin Luoheng smiled awkwardly.
Ying Zheng shook his head, not caring about this, and said calmly: "Come closer."
Qin Luoheng hesitated for a moment, moved his body, and got within ten steps of the First Emperor. This distance was already very close. He could even see the gray hair on the temples of the First Emperor. For a moment, he felt endless sighs in his heart.
I really felt the hard work of the First Emperor during these days.
He cupped his hands and said:
"The journey is difficult, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
He speaks from true feelings.
After he came out of Lishan Mountain, he met the First Emperor many times, and he could truly appreciate the First Emperor's great hard work. However, when he recalled carefully, he realized that the First Emperor's hard work may have been like this since the unification of the world.
In a short period of more than ten years, the Qin State had expanded to the entire world.
As the country grows, there will naturally be more affairs. Ying Zheng has also changed from the leader of a country to the leader of the world, and has become the first emperor who is respected by all people. The actual connotation of this change may be that in the hearts of ordinary subjects, only the emperor's sacred power and
halo.
But Qin Luoheng saw it more clearly.
The Qin Dynasty did realize the expansion of the country and the surge in power, but at the same time, its demands on the emperor were also much higher, and some of the demands even came at the cost of life.
It's just one year.
The First Emperor didn't know how old he was.
Ying Zhengdao:
"People in the outside world think that my grand duke is very enlightened, and he is also devoted to political affairs. He lives an extravagant life and never rests. Do you think so too?"
Qin Luoheng said: "I believe that your Majesty has indeed accomplished these things."
Ying Zheng chuckled lightly and said coldly: "I don't think so. In fact, I haven't done it in many aspects. In fact, I am aware of the evils in the world, but I choose to let it go."
"Governing the world is never simple."
"When I returned to my country as a young man, I held the sword and served in my rightful place. At that time, I was equally passionate and wanted to create a paradise for the world. However, after going through all kinds of ups and downs, my original intention has actually changed long ago."
"You once suggested that I use the clan's descendants."
"Don't I know this truth?"
"Even if I don't understand, how can I let it go when the Confucian scholars are still alive? Chunyu Yue has said to the outside world more than once: 'Your Majesty now has a sea of domestic affairs, and his children are just ordinary men. He has the troubles of Tian Chang and Liu Qing, and the country has no help. Why?
Help!'"
"The annexation of local lands and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are causing trouble. Am I really unaware of this?"
"Some news has spread all over the world, but I deliberately chose to ignore it. Do you know why?"
Qin Luoheng shook his head, cupped his hands and said, "I dare not speculate on my superior's intentions."
Ying Zhengdao:
"In fact, the most important characteristic of a politician is to pretend to be confused."
"No matter what you say, as long as it is not written into a memorial or mentioned in the temple, you will forever be treated as if you have never heard it, and you will never base your opinions on it."
"The ancestors Xiaogong and Shangjun revised the Qin law. The Qin kings of all dynasties regarded Shangjun's law as sacred. But if Shangjun's law is really so beneficial, why do I need to innovate and break the law? The so-called innovation is just that the situation has deteriorated to a certain extent.
It’s just a remedy, but if you can truly revolutionize the world and have such executive power, how can you reach the point of revolutionizing the world?”
Qin Luoheng was startled.
This was the first time he heard this statement. After hearing it, he seemed to understand but not understand it. He had some thoughts in his mind, but he didn't understand much clearly.
Ying Zheng did not say much on this matter.
Continued:
"After leaving Guanzhong, I indeed sent many officials to inspect the counties where the garrison camp was scheduled. Do you know what is recorded in the documents submitted by these officials?"
Qin Luoheng continued to shake his head.
Ying Zhengdao: "The whole article is about boasting about the governance of the world, saying that the general strategy of reorganizing China has achieved initial results, the roads in local counties and counties are smooth, and the road is full of vitality."
"See what matters most and what is lacking!"
"Almost all of the shortcomings they listed were related to people's livelihood, and the various practical matters were quite complex, such as the reform of the world's currency system, population registration, and land taxation and corvee service, etc."
"And is this really the so-called fact?"
Ying Zheng chuckled.
He shook his head and said:
"Now the army is stationed in Jinyang, Taiyuan County. This is the land of Zhao. After the Battle of Changping, the people of Zhao have always had grudges against the Qin court. Although this resentment has weakened in the past few decades, the people still
Full of hostility to Da Qin."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How could Qin's government spread so quickly?"
"If the Zhao region, which is most hostile and hostile to the Qin Dynasty, can implement Qin's policies in this way, how can the northern region be so troubled?"
Ying Zheng's eyes were cold.
Qin Luoheng remained silent.
He certainly understood what the First Emperor said.
This is where local officials are whitewashing the scene of peace and prosperity.
Think of this.
Qin Luoheng couldn't help but shake his head.
The purpose of the First Emperor's hunting tour was to pacify the Northern Territory. If there was no chaos in the Northern Territory, why would the First Emperor bother to launch a hunting tour? However, local officials and officials who went to local inspections were in full view of the public.
Practice fraud.
Immediately, Qin Luoheng thought that after being in the army for so long, he had never heard that the First Emperor punished the officials accompanying him. When he thought of this, and then thought about what the First Emperor had said before, he felt thoughtful.
The First Emperor knew some things, but he just pretended not to know.
Ying Zheng looked at Qin Luoheng, his eyes had regained his composure, and he said indifferently: "I can choose to ignore some things, or I can choose to let them go, but it doesn't mean that I really won't do anything. The local officials are my
Eyes and ears, the officials who inspect the place are also my eyes and ears."
"But these can only be seen on the surface!"
"Politics cannot listen to everything, nor believe everything. They must have their own judgment and weigh everything, and they must have their own reliable ears and eyes."
"Some things require more choices."
"I know that local officials are committing fraud, but why don't I punish them? Because I still need them to govern the place for me, and along the way, I am afraid there will be countless such officials, and I will not be able to deal with them."
"I won't handle it easily."
"At least they actually did something, even if it was just to show off."
"and......"
"The news that I intend to patrol the northern land has already spread. The officials in the counties and counties where the garrison planned to camp have already colluded with each other, and it will be difficult to find out the results in a short time. Therefore, I have no intention of spending too much time there.
.”
"My purpose of this hunting tour is to control the Northern Territory, how can I really ignore it?"
"I don't care too much about the predetermined counties and counties for the garrison camp, but it is not the predetermined garrison camp counties that are the focus of this rectification. If you want to inspect the predetermined garrison camp counties, I don't care about this.
I won’t agree to that.”
"The counties I want you to go to are non-reserved counties."
"What I want is for you to be my eyes and ears, to go and see the actual situation on the ground."
"To what extent Shandong has become corrupted, and whether the people are really in dire straits, and whether they are even getting mixed up with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. These are all things that you need to investigate on the spot. You did have some cleverness in the past, but you have never been smart in governing the country.
, but only depends on whether it is suitable or not.”
"There's a lot more you need to know."
Qin Luoheng cupped his hands and said, "I will live up to your majesty's trust and will find out the real situation in the place."
Ying Zhengdao:
"I allow you to do it easily."
"The army will stay in Jinyang for half a month. I will give you half a month and allow you to roam freely in Taiyuan County. After half a month, the army will set off. You can join the army or continue northward along the road. I
I won’t ask any questions.”
"also."
"Don't delay farming, don't delay government affairs. Although you have the authority to act for convenience, you are only limited to traveling around, and you have no authority to make decisions in various places."
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
Qin Luoheng's heart froze.
He quickly said: "I will try my best."
Ying Zheng raised his head slightly, waved his hands and said: "Go down, you have been in Xianyang for some time, it's time to visit the place, see the current situation of the place, and see the real world."
Qin Luoheng's face was solemn, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm leaving."
Finished.
Qin Luoheng slowly retreated.
When he walked out of the car door, he only felt that his steps were a little frivolous, and he even felt like he was stepping on the ground. He turned around and glanced at the closed chariot, with a look of perseverance in his eyes.
He saluted the imperial chariot again, and then strode back to where he was in the chariot.
Half an hour later.
The small team of only seven or eight people suddenly separated from the army, then rode towards the surrounding counties and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
