Chapter 1,220 Final preparations, showdown with people around you
Time goes by, time flies.
One year passed quickly.
In the thirty-seventh month of the Qin Dynasty, in May.
Su Mingzhe once again reported his "farming" achievements to the court.
Prime Minister Li Si and CRRC Magistrate Zhao Gao both knew that Su Mingzhe was from Fusu and were unwilling to promote him. However, they could not cover up such a huge achievement, so they had no choice but to follow the "old rules" and He was given a knighthood.
In June, the imperial edict of promotion reached Sichuan County.
After Su Mingzhe accepted the imperial edict and sent the angel away, he couldn't help but sigh to the people around him:
"Master Fusu, I'm afraid he's in trouble!"
"Husband, why do you say this?"
Lu Sui and the other girls knew that Su Mingzhe was one of the disciples of Fusu. If Fusu was in trouble, Su Mingzhe would definitely be in trouble too!
Su Mingzhe asked someone to put the imperial edict away, and then explained to several women:
"When I came to Sichuan County to be the county governor, I made an agreement with Mr. Fusu. If I only served as the county governor for three years and made achievements, the First Emperor would transfer me back to Xianyang to serve."
"Now that the three-year period has expired, the court has only given me a promotion and a reward, and has not mentioned a word about transferring me back... From this point of view, the court must have been completely controlled by Zhao Gao and Li Si's party! Li Si, Zhao Gao and his party are on the same level as Mr. Fusu. If they gain the upper hand, Mr. Fusu will definitely be in trouble!"
Several women were immediately frightened by the man's words.
Still Lu Pheasant forced a smile and said:
"Your Majesty may have been deceived by the sycophant for a moment. As long as Young Master Fusu can return to the court, he will definitely clear up Yuyu and restore a bright future to the Qin Dynasty!"
"I hope so!"
Su Mingzhe didn't want to worry a few women, so he didn't say anything more.
Last month, Cao Wushang sent someone to bring news that the First Emperor was preparing to tour the old lands of the Six Kingdoms for the fifth time.
Calculating this time, the First Emperor should have left Hangu Pass by now, right?
"Perhaps in a month or two, there will be news, and then the world will be in peace!"
"And that young master Fusu will never return to Xianyang City again!"
Su Mingzhe couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of Mr. Fusu, whom he had a very happy conversation with.
Turn around.
Su Mingzhe came to Sishui Township with a team of guards.
With his identity as a county guard as a cover, Su Mingzhe successively adopted nearly 10,000 orphans in three years, and gathered them in Sishui Township on weekdays for various trainings.
It can be said that Su Mingzhe spent half of his net worth on the 30,000 soldiers of Sichuan County, and the other half of his net worth was spent on these nearly 10,000 orphans.
At this time, if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, Su Mingzhe could quickly raise 40,000 elite troops to protect Sichuan County from the suffering of the war.
Of course, these 40,000 people can only protect Sichuan County.
When Su Da saw Su Mingzhe arriving, he immediately welcomed him out happily:
"Second brother is here!"
Since he became the county governor, Su Mingzhe has been busy with county affairs almost every day. From beginning to end of the year, he can only visit Sishui Township on the days when he worships his ancestors.
Now, at the beginning of June, it was a strange time of year. Seeing Su Mingzhe suddenly come back, Su Da guessed that something must have happened.
"Brother!"
Su Mingzhe and Su Da saw the ceremony and walked around the village first. After returning to the inner hall, they explained their purpose:
"Brother, I need some manpower here!"
"How many people?"
Su Da knew that his brother had great plans.
However, no matter what brother Su Mingzhe wants to do, Su Da, the eldest brother, chooses to support it unconditionally.
"This time...the more the merrier!"
Su Mingzhe made a request. After hearing this, Su Da couldn't help but wrinkled:
"If you go by what you say, I'm afraid half of the boys in the village will be taken away!"
"It's an emergency."
Su
Mingzhe hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Cao Wushang sent a message last month. After the New Year, His Majesty issued more than a dozen edicts in succession, asking about the elixir of immortality. I estimate that His Majesty's body will not last long. It may even be within these two days. In three months, something will happen!"
"And Mr. Fusu has been at the border. Now the government is controlled by Li Si and Zhao Gao. Once His Majesty dies, I am afraid that Mr. Fusu will be killed. I was born as a disciple of Mr. Fusu. How can I lose my eggs under the influence of the whole family! We must plan for the future!"
Su Mingzhe did not comment on Su Mingzhe's excuse of being a guest of Fusu.
You know, the establishment of Juxian Village started five or six years ago.
Su Mingzhe at that time was not a disciple of Fu Su.
Although he knew that his brother was just looking for an excuse, Su Da still nodded and said:
"In this case, I will prepare manpower for you as soon as possible!"
"Sorry for bothering you, brother!"
Su Mingzhe had lunch at Zhuangzi, looked at a few nephews and nieces, and then left.
After returning to the county governor's office, Su Mingzhe resumed his old life.
However, some opinions gradually appeared in Sacheon County.
Many people are spreading rumors that Su Mingzhe is the reincarnation of the son of Shennong, the Red Emperor (Yan Emperor).
The reason is also very simple.
If Su Mingzhe was not the 'Son of the Red Emperor', how could he turn a field that could only produce two or three stones per acre into an annual output of nearly ten stones now?
With the help of caring people, Su Mingzhe's identity as the "Son of the Red Emperor" spread to the ears of 1.3 million people in Sishui County in just over a month.
Just when some smart people in this county were wondering about these rumors, July arrived.
Dozens of messengers were suddenly sent from Xianyang City to various counties in Da Qin.
Not long after, the governors of each county announced to their jurisdiction that the First Emperor had passed away and was succeeded by his son Hu Hai, leaving the world in peace.
The smart people who were originally suspicious of the market rumors immediately became acutely aware of the impending crisis.
This day is after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
When the three sisters came back from the Lu Mansion, they immediately came to see the man and asked with panic and uneasiness:
"Husband, are you going to rebel against Qin?"
"good!"
Su Mingzhe originally didn't want to worry his women, but since they already knew, there was no need to hide it.
"Husband, you are the governor of Daqin County. Maybe you will have the opportunity to become the three ministers and nine ministers, and become the prime minister who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people..."
Lu Hao's eyes were full of incomprehension.
In her opinion, her man was less than thirty years old and had already shown outstanding talents. As long as he continued to perform his duties faithfully, even if he was granted the title of marquis or prime minister, it would be nothing.
Therefore, when her father Lu Gong told her that her man might have rebellious intentions, Lu Jiao was not willing to believe it at all.
On the contrary, Lu Zhi had long noticed the man's unusual behavior, and was convinced once he heard Lu Gong's words.
When Su Mingzhe faced Lu Huan's questioning, he could only repeat what he had explained to Su Da before:
"I am from Young Master Fusu. Now Young Master Fusu has been killed by Zhao Gao and Li Si. You don't naively think that they will let me go, right?"
"But...since Mr. Fusu is gone, you can surrender to the Prime Minister...I remember that Cao Wushang said that the Prime Minister and his son are very optimistic about you..."
Lu Pheasant also wanted to persuade the man, but Su Mingzhe was no longer in the mood to listen, and directly interrupted her with a wave of his hand:
"I have made up my mind, please stop trying to persuade me!"
"This is not because I am disloyal to the Qin Dynasty, but because the Qin government is too cruel!"
"Since the Qin Dynasty unified the Six Kingdoms, most of the people in the Six Kingdoms have longed for the old regime of the Six Kingdoms."
"You may not know that not only the people of the Six Kingdoms are dissatisfied with the Qin government, but now even the old Qin people are complaining about the Qin government!"
"When the First Emperor was still alive, he still had the power of Emperor Huang to suppress the anger of the people. Now that the son Hu Hai is in the wrong position, Li Si and Zhao Gao, after taking power, do not want to repent and win over the people. Instead, they intensify their cruelty and abuse the people."
"It can be said that the world has been suffering from Qin for a long time!"
"Even without me, there would still be countless people in the world who are against Qin!"
Seeing the man's firm gaze, the three Lu sisters knew that there was no room for change.
It was Lu Pheasant who advised diligently:
"Husband, no matter how others oppose Qin, we must not be the first to raise the flag, otherwise we will be the target of public criticism..."
Su Mingzhe also agreed very much with Lu Pheasant's words, and immediately nodded and said with a smile:
"Don't worry! As long as Li Si and Zhao Gao don't cause trouble for me, I won't cause trouble for the court when I'm full and have nothing to do..."
