Chapter 394: The old dreams of the past reappear now, and its hard to remember the old people!
Late September, Surabaya County.
Fusu handled daily political affairs as usual.
But not long after, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside.
Listening to the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from outside, Fusu raised his head, with a look of sadness in his eyes. He had actually already understood that this day was destined to come, but when it did come, ripples still appeared in his heart. He knew very well that the order was coming from outside.
They know where they come from and why they are here.
Xiao He naturally heard it too.
He cupped his hands and said, "The eldest son should have sent an order from the court."
Fusu glanced at Xiao He, then stood up, bowed his hand to Xiao He, and said seriously: "I have been in Sishui County for more than a year. Over the past year, thanks to the help and care of Chief Xiao, Fusu can implement it in Sishui County."
Nitta Ling, I may not be able to come back after leaving this time. In the past, I also thought about doing something in the local area so that my father could see it, but only after I really went deep into the place and understood the real situation, I realized,
How shallow and narrow-minded I am in the deep palace."
"Fusu has learned a lesson!"
Fusu bowed to Xiao He in an upright manner.
Xiao He quickly stepped away, not daring to accept the gift.
He said:
"Young master has really embarrassed the subordinates."
"What the subordinates are doing is just routine work, so how can I help them?"
"Young Master, please do not belittle yourself. The world knows your talents, and your kindness has always been praised by the world. You have always had the heart to serve the country and the people, and you are also willing to work deeply in the local area. This is the blessing of the people of Sishui County.
It is also a blessing for the people of the world, and even more so for the Qin Dynasty. The subordinates can serve the prince, and this is the kindness bestowed by the world!"
"Why do subordinates dare to covet heaven's merits? How can they afford the prince's gift?"
"Master, please get up quickly."
Xiao He reached out and helped Fu Su up.
Fusu looked at Xiao He.
He said in a deep voice:
"My father asked me to go back this time, presumably because my tenth brother announced his identity."
"When the identity of the tenth brother is announced, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to return to Sishui County. However, the matter of the Xintian Order cannot be interrupted. From now on, I may have to worry about Chief Xiao. I know that Chief Xiao is extremely talented.
, Being trapped in a county is indeed a bit humiliating, but after returning to Xianyang, everything may not be up to me, and I dare not let Xiao Changli go to jail, so I can only let Xiao Changli live in Sishui County temporarily.
"
Xiao He chuckled lightly.
He said calmly:
"Young Master, there is no need to trouble yourself for me."
"I have been staying in Sishui County and am already familiar with everything in Sishui County. If the young master suddenly transfers me, I may still feel a lot of discomfort. Now that I can be a county official and can continue to stay in Sishui County, I have long been satisfied, but it is really not good.
Dare to have more extravagant hopes."
"I don't know anything about the affairs of the court during your trip, and I don't dare to give you advice rashly. But with your intelligence, I think there won't be any surprises. However, you should understand that Da Qin is not at peace at the moment.
It is not that there are no hidden worries both internally and externally. We should put national affairs first, and more importantly, we should think about the world and put the world first."
Fusu put his head on his forehead and said:
"Thank you, Chief Xiao, for your words."
"Fu Suding remembers it."
"There was a rush of people outside, so I went first."
"Your Majesty, I would like to see you off!" Xiao He bowed and sent Fusu out of the official residence, and then watched Fusu enter the carriage. He only heard the sound of a horse neighing in pain, and the carriage Fusu was riding in quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Until the sound of galloping horses was completely gone.
Return to the official residence.
Everything is back to how it was before.
Looking at the officials who were still in a hurry around him, Xiao He couldn't help but sigh to himself. He actually wanted to suggest that Fusu give up the new land order. He had been in Sishui County for so long, so why didn't he know the progress of the implementation of the new land order? How could he not know the progress of the new land order?
What is the actual situation of the implementation of the Xintian Order? Under normal circumstances, the implementation of the Xintian Order is not so fast at all, and the effect is definitely not so good.
more importantly.
The local nobles and powerful people have never had any objections to the government. This is impossible in normal times. Even if Fusu is the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, he does not have such appeal and binding force. It is related to his own interests, and the various forces in Sishui County have
How could he let go? But during the period when the eldest son was here, no conflict broke out in Sishui County, and the stability was terrible.
Xiao He had roughly guessed this situation.
This is a joke on their part.
Now that the eldest son has left, these people may show their fangs. The Xintian Order is not conducive to the head of Guizhou. If it continues to be implemented, and there is no Fusu to sit on the side, the local forces that have restrained in the past are bound to overthrow those who have just come out.
All the results will be taken away, and they will become even more crazy and intensified. They will take back everything they gave up in more than a year.
The people of Surabaya County will only suffer worse in the future.
"well."
Xiao He sighed.
At this time.
Cao Shen came over.
He looked around and lowered his voice: "The eldest son is gone?"
Xiao He nodded.
Cao Shen said in a solemn voice: "Is the eldest son going back this time really because of the tenth son?"
Xiao He frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Cao Shen said: "We have known each other for many years, and I will tell you the truth. Are you really going to turn to the eldest son in the future?"
"When the eldest son returns this time, he will definitely compete with the tenth son for the throne. Right now, from what I heard, the tenth son is deeply trusted by the First Emperor and is quite popular among the people. More importantly, the tenth son is more trustworthy.
, he is more organized in doing things, and he is far more mature and experienced than the eldest son in dealing with things. I think the eldest son will not be a rival to the tenth son."
"The eldest son will lose!!!"
Xiao He's eyes darkened.
He shouted in a low voice: "Cao Shen, do you know what you are talking about?"
Cao Shen lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Of course I know, and I will tell you the truth truthfully. I, Cao Shen, think that your talent is far above mine, but I don't care about the captain's son.
Look, based on the current situation in Da Qin, the tenth son is far more suitable for the position than the eldest son. You and I have known each other for many years, and I don’t want you to go astray."
Cao Shen looked sincere.
Xiao He gave Cao Shen a cold look.
Ning Sheng said:
"Stop thinking so wildly."
"We are just county officials and county officials under the thirty-six counties of Da Qin. How can we participate in the court dispute?"
"You really think too highly of me. How much do we know about the matters in the court? We just heard some external rumors. How dare we think we have mastered the truth in the world? At the moment, the Tenth Young Master does have a big advantage, but outside rumors
Is it true? The eldest son has been working hard in the court for more than ten years, how can he lose power so easily? "
"The Tenth Young Master has been missing for ten years, how can it be so easy to find him?"
"The rumors from the outside world are just rumors after all. We are not in Xianyang, and we have never been in the court. How dare we openly peek at the world's important weapons with the eyes of ordinary people? We will only become the laughing stock of the world."
"and......"
"It doesn't matter if the eldest son takes the throne or the tenth son wins."
"How much impact will it have on us?"
"Do you really think that after we have been working with the eldest son for a period of time, we have become his confidants? We are now officials of the Qin Dynasty. We are in our position and planning for its affairs. We are only doing our duties. As for whether the eldest son is
If you are willing to continue to be close to us, it is not up to us, and please do not speculate or talk nonsense."
"You were not such an impetuous person in the past."
Speaking of which.
Xiao He looked at Cao Shen carefully and seemed to think of something. He shook his head and said, "You should have gone to see Liu Ji recently. He is the only one who dares to say these words so openly, and he can make you believe it.
"
Cao Shen smiled awkwardly, but did not refute.
Xiao He opened his mouth and said:
"Don't think so much."
"The court affairs have nothing to do with us."
"We just need to do our part and let the rest take its course."
"I still have something to deal with, so I won't say more to you."
Finished.
Xiao He then walked towards his desk.
Seeing this, Cao Shen hesitated for a moment and said, "Liu Ji said he wanted to get together with you."
Xiao He paused in his steps and his eyes flashed slightly.
He said: "I know."
...
Xianyang Imperial Palace.
In a tall and spacious palace, Qin Luoheng was sitting in it.
There were several eunuchs standing on the side. The former prince Fu Cheng and the current Feng Chang Hu Wujing were explaining court etiquette to Qin Luoheng.
Hu Wujing had a straight face.
He said solemnly:
"Etiquette is an important weapon of the country. Since ancient times, fathers and sons, brothers, families, friends and other occasions have attached great importance to etiquette. Etiquette has been throughout the Chinese civilization for thousands of years. Although the outside world has always said that it is Zhou Rites, in fact, this is not necessarily true. Zhou Rites
It is just a formalization and standardization of etiquette, but etiquette does not actually come from Zhou."
"It's enough to know these things. There is no need to be too concerned about it."
"Tomorrow is the day when the young master will tell the world and restore his identity."
"Young Master is your Majesty's son and is born a nobleman, so you must observe etiquette. The royal family has always valued etiquette the most, and all kinds of rules are also the most stringent. Tomorrow, the Young Master must first pay tribute in the ancestral temple with etiquette, and then talk about family etiquette.
, and then it’s time for the officials to celebrate and the banquet, the young master must keep this process in mind and make sure there are no mistakes."
Qin Luoheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Feng Chang, for informing me. I will bear it in my heart."
Hu Wujing raised his head slightly.
Continued:
"The young master has been living abroad for many years. Although he has been in the imperial court, he has not experienced many grand events. Therefore, no matter what emotions he feels in his heart tomorrow, how uneasy or embarrassed he is, he must behave neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither humble nor arrogant. If he is really
If you are nervous, you would rather not say a word than show your timidity in the presence."
"A hundred words are worse than silence!"
"Master, remember this."
Qin Luoheng cupped his hands again and said, "Remember."
Hu Wujing continued to talk about other things, without exception, they were all related to etiquette.
Qin Luoheng listened attentively and did not dare to show any impatience. He knew very well that everything Hu Wujing said was for his own good. Tomorrow, what he represents will no longer be an individual, but will concern the entire Great Qin royal family.
With a good face, and in full view of the public, no mistakes can be made.
That's why Hu Wujing would make repeated orders and emphasize them again and again.
When Hu Wujing finished everything, Qin Luoheng once again raised his hands and thanked him: "Thank you Feng Chang for informing me."
Looking at Qin Luoheng's calm appearance, Hu Wujing couldn't help but glance at Qin Luoheng.
Compared with other young masters, Qin Luoheng was obviously more gentle, more generous and decent. He even felt that he was a little too anxious in front of him, but he could not tolerate being anxious. Court etiquette was always the top priority, and he could not tolerate it.
Anything unexpected happens, especially if the Tenth Young Master returns this time.
But if he were an ordinary young master, he would not need his guidance.
Hu Wujing raised his head slightly.
Qin Luoheng's calmness and composure made him very satisfied.
Don't be surprised when doing things.
This is the courage that a young master of the Qin Dynasty should have.
He opened his mouth and said:
"It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll let you figure out the etiquette yourself."
"I have resigned."
Hu Wujing did not delay. After explaining all the etiquette-related matters, he stood up and left. Qin Luoheng quickly stood up to see him off, but Hu Wujing said directly: "Young master, there is no need to see you off. I will leave on my own."
Can."
Finished.
Then he left directly.
Watching Hu Wujing walk out of the palace, Qin Luoheng raised his head and looked at the tall palace and the several-foot-high eaves. He didn't feel much at first, but he suddenly felt a sense of insignificance, and suddenly there was a lot of weight on his shoulders.
A bit of a sense of responsibility.
Heavy!
He looked at it for a few times and then withdrew his gaze, recalling Hu Wujing's etiquette in his mind.
Tomorrow's big gift is actually a coming-of-age ceremony.
Da Qin's legal standard of adulthood is six feet seven inches (155cm), and he has already become an adult. However, this ceremony still includes an adult ceremony, which can be regarded as a replacement.
"As an adult, you will be responsible for adult etiquette!"
"Those who are responsible for the etiquette of adults will be responsible for the etiquette of being a son, a younger brother, a minister, and a young person."
"If you behave in accordance with the four responsibilities to others, you should be courteous but not respectful. Therefore, if you practice filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, and obedience, you will be able to behave as a person, and then you will be able to govern others."
"And the reason why mortals are human is due to etiquette and righteousness."
"The beginning of etiquette and righteousness lies in correct appearance, correct color, and correct diction. Then the etiquette and righteousness are prepared. With the ruler and ministers in line, father and son should be harmoniously harmonious, and the elders and young ones should be harmonious.
, and then etiquette and justice are established.”
"..."
Most of the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty comes from the Book of Rites.
Although the Qin Dynasty re-standardized the world's etiquette after unifying the world, many of them have continued.
Qin Luoheng was sitting on the table, simulating tomorrow's process in his mind, and getting up from time to time to do it himself. Time passed like this little by little. During this period, several palace maids brought him a set of dresses, which were very gorgeous and solemn, but Qin Luoheng
Luo Heng's mind was obviously not on the dress, and he had been sitting aside rehearsing.
The night is already deep.
Qin Luoheng did not return home.
Instead, he stayed directly in the palace.
Qin Luoheng didn't know when he fell asleep. He only remembered that when he fell asleep, there was the sound of pattering rain outside.
On a rainy night, he had a dream.
In his dream, he remembered a scene that he had not remembered at the beginning.
He was still deep in a palace with high walls, surrounded by soldiers and horses, but compared to the blurry last time, he could see some of the details clearly this time. Under the crowd of soldiers and horses, there was a black bird.
Black flag, that is the flag of Qin!
Just when he was panicking, he vaguely caught a glimpse of several figures from the corner of his eye.
Several very familiar figures.
But before he could see clearly who it was, he was awakened by the noise outside the palace, and those familiar figures quickly disappeared from his mind until he could no longer recall them.
