"My own son and close ministers took turns to give advice but failed to sway the emperor's mind. Fortunately, I was not too involved."
On the way from Xianyang to Linguang Palace in Ganquan Mountain, Heifu couldn't help but shake his head secretly as he recalled what happened in Xianyang Palace the day before yesterday.
Qin Shihuang's decision to build palaces and gardens in Guanzhong and build a "heaven on earth" was firm. Not only was Youzhan ignored, but his son Fusu was also affected. The only result of Fusu's remonstrance was that in mid-June,
When Qin Shihuang went to Linguang Palace to escape the summer heat, he took his sons with him, but he did not take his eldest son with him.
Qin Shihuang was a highly productive father, with more than 20 sons, ranging in age from the eldest son, Fusu, who was 18 years old, to the youngest son, Hu Hai, who was 9 years old. According to the standard of "twenty and the crown", all the sons of Qin Shihuang were equal.
He was an adult, and the emperor was a person who was relatively indifferent to family affection. Even though they were not far apart, he rarely met with his disciples.
Therefore, Heifu did not have the opportunity to observe them up close. He only had a superficial understanding of them through various channels.
Among them, the two people he was most concerned about were Fu Su and Hu Hai.
Anyone would be curious about the virtuous young master who has been regretted for eternity, and the second Qin who brought the Qin Dynasty into the abyss.
Fusu's blunt advice that day reminded Heifu of a poem he heard Zhang Cang read.
"The toes of the Lin are vibrating the young master, and the Lin is sighing.
Lin Zhiding, Zhenzhen Gong's surname, Yu Linxi.
The horn of the lin invigorates the clan, and the lin comes with a sigh!"
Like a poem, Fusu's impression on Heifu is that of a benevolent Kirin who "does not walk on grass and grows insects on others". It walks leisurely in the green fields and green forests, but suddenly flows and turns into a flower.
He is an elegant young master. The young master is like Lin, noble and kind, and the young master is like jade, seemingly spotless. This is the reputation of Fusu among the people in Xianyang.
But on the contrary, all the officials in the court were not very optimistic about Fusu.
One of the reasons is that Fusu's mother was a prince of the Chu State, and his uncle was the Changping Lord who was against the Qin Dynasty. Since then, the number of times the emperor summoned Fusu has decreased rapidly. And Fusu was very concerned about the country and the people, and every time
Whenever he came to an audience, he would say things that Qin Shihuang didn't like to hear, so he became increasingly unpopular.
The day before yesterday, after Fusu admonished Fusu in the Xianyang Palace, Qin Shihuang even reprimanded Fusu on the spot: "Read less Confucianism and more study of laws and regulations."
Qin Shihuang's words were profound. As a result, Fusu became increasingly unpopular.
Heifu thought to himself: "According to the patriarchal system, the Qin Dynasty has a system of inheritance by the eldest son. However, Qin Shihuang did not establish a queen before, and there was no queen after he became emperor. If there is no legitimate son, he has to choose the prince among more than 20 concubines, and he will still be the eldest son.
Fusu has priority..."
But now, the emperor thinks that the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak, and has no intention of establishing an heir. No one in the government or the public has the guts to say "to establish a prince early." Everyone is speculating that His Majesty may want to wait until the princes come of age, and then select the virtuous one to establish him.
.
"Maybe it's because you think you have a chance to live forever and don't feel the need to establish a prince?" Heifu recently discovered that the warlocks and alchemists from Qi Yan were often summoned by the emperor. Most of the things they discussed were not about the common people but about ghosts and gods...
The country has no crown prince, which is a major hidden danger for the Qin Dynasty, but it is not something that Heifu Yijie can intervene in.
When he turned around in the military chariot, he could see Qin Shihuang's six-horse chariot on the road from a distance, with several auxiliary chariots in front and behind, almost exactly the same. If you want to tell which chariot the emperor is in, one is to look at the chariot's command.
The second position of Zhao Gao is to carefully identify the laughter of children coming from the car...
This summer vacation in Ganquan Mountain will last from June to August and September. After the autumn harvest is completed in September, there will be an "Autumn Army to Harness" activity, which not only allows for military parades to show off one's power, but also allows the princes to learn through hunting.
Rongshi. Except for the young master Fusu who was disobedient to Qin Shihuang and was deliberately left in Xianyang to "study the law", the other twenty young masters all went with him.
But among them, the only person Qin Shihuang took to the chariot was the young master Hu Hai.
When passing through the Zheng Guo Canal, it was getting dark. According to the plan, they would rest in the palace beside the canal for one night. When Hei Fu went to ask for instructions from the imperial chariot, Zhao Gao greeted him with a smile, opened the curtain again, and saw a surprising scene:
Qin Shihuang, who could not let go of his work all the time, was now like an ordinary father, playing Liubo games with his son...
Hu Hai was only 9 years old. He was born in pink and jade, with a long hair tied on his head. He was looking at the chessboard seriously when he noticed that the carriages and horses had stopped. When he saw that the middle man, Hu Lingheifu, was kneeling outside, he smiled narrowly, and suddenly
Loudly:
"CRRC Fu Ling, why is it so dark?"
Zhao Gao responded: "Sir, the sun has not set outside yet, why do you say this?"
"If it wasn't dark, why can't I see the chessboard clearly?"
He pretended to be groping in the dark, turned his head, pretended to have just seen Hei Fu, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Father, father, it turns out that Hei Fu is here, no wonder my eyesight went dark!"
As soon as he said this, Zhao Gao smiled and shook his head, and even the usually serious Qin Shihuang was made to laugh. When Hu Hai saw that he had successfully amused his father, he felt even more proud, and the car was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Only Hei Fu cursed secretly in his heart: "You stupid kid who thinks you're smart..."
His first impression of Hu Hai was not very good. Although he looked innocent and cute in front of Qin Shihuang, in Heifu's eyes, he was just a naughty kid who only knew how to have fun and make trouble. He was at an age that even dogs would dislike. He relied on being favored by the emperor
Because of his love, he likes to play tricks on those close to him, making jokes about his short legs, and insinuating his old age. After meeting Mr. Hei the day before yesterday, he dared to make fun of his dark complexion.
It is a common problem among parents to love their young children. It is said that the woman Qin Shihuang liked most was Hu Hai's mother. With his mother's early death, this feeling was also transferred to Hu Hai. He traveled with the same carriage and ate with the same crime. How much did he have for Fusu?
Being cold, I love Hu Hai so much.
"It's really...a world of difference."
Although he was teased by Hu Hai, Hei Fu did not change his expression and actually smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Young Master, although my face is black, my heart is red!"
Hu Hai became even more happy and burst into laughter. Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC, said with a smile: "Zhonglang Hu Ling's mouth is really as sweet as brown sugar."
Hu Hai glanced at Zhao Gao: "Sweeter than you?"
Zhao Gao cupped his hands and said: "Old minister Fu Ru, Fu Ru."
Heifu hurriedly said: "How dare I compare myself to the orders of the CRRC?"
Hu Hai no longer played Liubo at this time, but grabbed Qin Shihuang's hand and said: "Father, I heard that Zhonglang Huling was the first person to play military ball. When will he be asked to lead the guards and play a game?"
Show me the field!"
Bingqiu was a game invented by Heifu after he modified rugby in the few months after he defended the barrier in the battle to destroy Chu. Two years later, it has been introduced to Guanzhong. The people of Qin do not like Qi Chu.
He was a juggling individual Cuju player, but he was obsessed with the collision of speed and passion among strong men. Bingqiu became a game often played by Qin soldiers in Guanzhong.
Hu Hai is also obsessed with this. He likes to watch the soldiers wearing heavy armors fighting for the little ball, colliding with each other, and falling into a mess with mud on their faces. It would be even better if someone breaks his legs during the game!
Hei Fu handed over his hand and said, "If Your Majesty and Young Master want to see it, Hei Fu will put on his armor and go on stage."
You can't beat or scold this bratty leader. Doesn't he like to play? Heifu does have many little games that you can play to his liking...
However, Qin Shihuang patted his son on the head and said: "Nonsense, my lieutenant is here to stay as a guard and go out to herd for hundreds of miles. Is it just for playing games? The palace has arrived, let's go down and have a meal."
Hu Hai pouted, and it wasn't until Zhao Gao said that there were fresh leopard fetuses to eat today that he smiled again.
Qin Shihuang asked Zhao Gao to take the young master Hu Hai out, and said:
"I have not been here for a long time. I will patrol along the ditch tomorrow to see what the effect is after using the compost retting method this year."
Qin Shihuang got out of the carriage and looked at the clear ditch beside the palace, which branched out from Jingshui River, slowly flowed eastward, and finally poured into Luoshui River.
With its appearance, it can irrigate the three hundred miles of land between Jingshui and Luoshui, and irrigate more than 40,000 hectares of farmland, making Guanzhong a fertile wilderness. In the ten years since the canal was established, there has never been a bad year again. Qin You
As a result, Qin Shi Huang was able to unify the feudal lords and continuously provide food for the army. Zheng Guoqu contributed a lot to this.
But then, the emperor's gaze turned north, as if he thought of another thing because of the Zheng Guo Canal in front of him.
He asked Heifu: "Who should accompany the guard tomorrow?"
Heifu said: "It's Zhongcha's turn to order Wang Li."
"Now that you are free, you can go to Yunyang County for a trip."
Yunyang County is a day's journey north of Zheng Guo Canal, not far from Linguang Palace in Ganquan Mountain. Heifu immediately pricked up his ears, wondering what the emperor wanted him to do.
Qin Shihuang stroked his beard and said slowly: "Go to Yunyang Prison and check for me. Is Cheng Mao still alive?"
