As the saying goes, one pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. My husband didn't believe it before, but now I believe it. Since giving birth to the baby, my wife has really become a bit stupid...
She used to be thoughtful, but now she only cares about her son. She will even look at the baby for half an hour. Mother and son look at each other and giggle. She often forgets some small things, and even says some things to Hei Husband that she could not say when she was smart in the past. .
For example, today, when Hei Fu was about to set off to the north again, when she tied up Hei Fu's armor with her own hands, she actually told him naggingly: "Even if the young master delays the army rations again, my beloved, don't punish him in front of everyone, and report the truth back to your majesty." Just make a decision, don't do what Sima Rangju did!"
The so-called "Sima Ranju Incident" by Ye Zijin refers to the Spring and Autumn Period. Qi Jinggong appointed Sima Ranju as a general and sent his favored minister Zhuang Jia to supervise the army. Sima Ranju and Zhuang Jia made an agreement: They would be at the camp at noon the next day. Gather at the door and set off.
As a result, Zhuang Jia did not arrive until the afternoon of the next day after drinking, so Sima Ranju brought out the military law and beheaded him on the spot, and notified the three armies to establish his authority. The soldiers were all stunned.
Qi Jinggong was shocked when he heard the news, so he asked the envoy to stop him. As a result, he drove into the camp without authorization and galloped in front of the army. Sima Ranju told him that he should be killed according to the law. He thought that the envoy had the king's order, so he only cut off the right side of the envoy's car. …
"Jinggong wanted to rely on Sima Ranju to retreat from the enemy. Although he did not make things difficult for him face to face, many years later, when Sima Ranju was old and useless, Jinggong retreated and Sima Ranju became ill and died..."
In Ye Zijin's view, the eldest son Fusu was sent by the First Emperor to supervise the Northern Army, which seemed to be a sign of trust in Heifu, but in fact it was a trouble.
Qin Shi Huang had been proclaimed emperor for more than three years, and Fu Su had been crowned emperor for one year, but he had never been appointed crown prince. This sent an unusual signal.
There have been speculations about this in the imperial court for a day or two. Some people think that the emperor wants to live forever, so there is no need to establish an heir. Some people also think that Fusu's mother's family belongs to the royal family of the Chu Kingdom, and his uncle Changping Jun once committed treason. , he also became the King of Chu and was hated by Qin Shihuang. He had lost the possibility of succeeding to the throne. Some people are sure that Qin Shihuang just didn't like Fusu's character very much and wanted to experience more. For this reason, he wanted to get close to Fusu. There are not a few speculators who achieve their own goals.
But Ye Zijin regarded this as a thunder pool. The emperor was still strong, so it was really taboo for a general to make friends with young masters. Even if Qin Shihuang arranged for Fusu to go to the north for training, the black husband should keep an appropriate distance from him and not make friends with him. It's better than being close, but you can't offend or make a grudge.
Heifu couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Is your husband that stupid?"
"Besides, Sima Ranju did this to establish his authority, and I don't have to do this."
"Didn't my beloved just a few days ago scold the young master for being late in front of the generals and civilians, and teach him the art of war?"
She was even worried that this matter might have angered the eldest son, and he might have secretly remembered it in his heart!
Mr. Hei Fu Shao could not help but comfort his wife: "Although he is somewhat kind-hearted, he is not the kind of narrow-minded young master who cannot listen to advice."
Ye Zijin shook his head: "With only a few meetings between my beloved and the eldest son, and a brief exchange of words, we can determine what kind of person he is?"
When his wife said this, Heifu remembered what happened when Fusu and the fifteen thousand civilians arrived in Yiqu City a few days ago...
…
The prince supervising the army is different from the ordinary ministers supervising the army. When the eldest prince comes to Yiqu City, the county guard, the county magistrate, the supervisor and the censor, etc. must hold a banquet to receive him.
Although Fusu was kind-hearted, he had been educated by a young master since he was a child, so he behaved appropriately and spoke well. He also took the initiative to ask Hei Fu to take him to worship at the Xun Temple, Jingbian Temple and the Loyal Soldiers Cemetery.
The Jingbian Temple and the Loyalty Cemetery are the work of Heifu. They started from Nanjun and were completed in the North. Now they are all over Guanzhong and border counties. The Xun Temple is something Li Si suggested and is only in Kansai for the time being.
Yes, it enshrines Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, Bai Qi, Meng Ao and other generals and prime ministers who have made outstanding contributions to the unification of the Qin Dynasty. However, only these few people have entered the temple for the time being. The merits and demerits of Gan Mao, Wei Ran, Fan Ju and others
There is still controversy.
This is also the reason why the First Emperor of China restored the reputation of enemy generals like Li Mu in order to maintain the balance between Qin and the Six Kingdoms. The Xun Temple was used to take care of the needs of Qin's military nobles. Wang Jian will definitely be selected a hundred years later.
, Heifu secretly guessed that Tingwei Li Si must also hope that he can enter the temple after his death.
Heifu had heard that Prince Fusu was very much admired by the Mohists. He seemed to have absorbed the Mohists' anti-war ideas of frugal burial, non-attack, and universal love, as well as Huang Lao's ideas of resting with the people. However, when worshiping at Jingbian Temple, he seemed to have absorbed
I have my personal likes and dislikes, and behave very officially and strictly, without any slights...
Only after the worship ceremony was over, Fusu privately told Heifu something. This was the first time the two had an in-depth conversation after the minor conflict midway.
Fusu said: "According to General Wei's proposal, my father ordered all troops to be led by officials and soldiers before setting off, and the people worshiped at the Jingbian Temple and told the deeds of the five sages who led the Xia army to open up the territory. The officers and soldiers of Guanxi and the Rong army
At Di Zachu, I was deeply moved when I heard about Yu Yu and Sima Cuo. The 50,000 Yan and Zhao Minfu who were going to carry grain to the north were also slightly moved when they heard about Li Mu and Qin Kai. But the 100,000 from the Central Plains
However, there was very little response from the people, and 90% of them had never even heard of the names of these five people."
This is indeed an embarrassing problem in Jingbian Temple. It can arouse the people of Yan, Zhao and Qin who were close to Hu and Rong and suffered from plunder. In this war against the Xiongnu, they shared the same enemy and complained less about the imperial court.
.
But to the people of Wei, Han, and Chu, two questions were written all over their faces: Who are these five people? Is it none of my business to beat barbarians?
"So in the eyes of the people in the three places, they just think of it as hard labor..."
Heifu was helpless about this. At that time, he originally thought of recruiting one person from one country. Unfortunately, South Korea was located in the Central Plains and had no chance to fight foreign wars. The Wei State did have an ancestor, Wei Xian's son Wei Shu, who once fought against the Rong people.
, but the achievements cannot be compared with those five people, and how can ordinary Wei people know who Wei Shu is?
The same goes for the Chu State. Although Chu captured a lot of territory from the Yue people in the south, it was slowly encroached upon and there was no one-time achievement. At most, Wu Qi, who conquered the Yue in the south and built strong gates, was included. But the imperial court was large.
People think Wu Qi is not qualified. He is not even from the Chu State, and his reputation in the Chu State is not very good...
So that’s all we can do first.
The question raised by Fusu was very pointed, so Heifu simply talked about the origin of this war.
"Young Master's words are clear to me. People in the Central Plains do not understand the sufferings in the border areas, because the Central Plains and the border areas belonged to two countries in the past, and the neighboring countries were invaded by barbarians. When the people in the Central Plains heard about it, they would sigh a few words,
But he soon forgot, let alone felt that he had the responsibility to fight against the invaders together with the people from neighboring countries. But this is like a fire in the neighbor's house. If you don't save yourself, you will be in danger. If the whole house is burned down, it will be like a barbarian horse hoofing.
Now that we have reached the river, it will be the Central Plains' turn to suffer disaster. By then, the situation that China faced hundreds of years ago may be repeated."
This is not a conjecture, this is a prediction!
"The Hus are a serious problem in the Central Xia Dynasty. It was with this in mind that Your Majesty decided to eliminate the Xiongnu in one fell swoop to nip the problem in the bud. It was not just for the sake of showing off one's merits."
"Now, the sea is unified, and all the people in the world are the subjects of the First Emperor. The law states that all those who are over seventeen years old are responsible for serving the country. Therefore, your Majesty has conquered 300,000 people.
When people attack the Huns, they use 150,000 soldiers in Guanzhong and 150,000 people in Guandong as civilians. Regardless of whether the civilians can understand the significance of this battle or whether they are willing to go north, the law of the country is the law of the country and cannot be ignored in the slightest. What's more, even if you don't
If they go to the frontier fortress, they will also serve in Xianyang."
Soldiers need to eat food and concentrate on fighting. There are no trains or cars to transport things these days, so logistics can only rely on humans and animals.
The civilians must be conquered. If all the Qin people in Guanxi are conquered, the burden will be too heavy for them. They will definitely feel that Jingbian is the responsibility of the whole world. Why should the Qin people do all the wars and transport grain, but the Guandong people only need to do it?
Do some brick-moving work in Xianyang.
I'm afraid it was not Kanto but Kansai that was complaining at that time!
Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and the Qin soldiers flattened the palaces of the six kingdoms. Of course, there will be a conqueror's mentality that will not disappear in a short time, and the advantages in policy and status will last for a long time.
This is the reality before us. As a ruler, it is not easy to level this bowl of water. It is even more difficult to truly achieve the unity of people's hearts.
This is also the reason why Heifu advocated launching troops against the Xiongnu. If he wanted to achieve national reunification, he could either resist foreign humiliation or expand abroad to earn war dividends.
"Perhaps when this war is over and people from the East and the West are stationed in frontier fortresses and garrisoned in the fields, and face the troops outside the Great Wall together, they will put aside their past grudges and fight side by side with swords in their hands..." he thought to himself.
"What General Wei means is that those who have a country and a family are not worried about being few but about inequality..."
After listening to Heifu's words, Fusu thought thoughtfully, and finally shook his head: "Fusu has been taught, but I think that the balance created by making the people uneasy is not the real balance! Although the border barbarians are a
There are hidden dangers, but they dare not invade the border aggressively. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to let the world rest for ten years before starting war and talk about expanding the west to appease the border?"
Fusu finally expressed his thoughts. The world was still uncertain and Guizhou had not gathered yet. The use of troops at this time was actually creating unrest!
The blameless man did not take the blame. He said: "Master, don't you hear the old Qin people in Yongdi have a song, 'I would rather go to the north of the Great Wall to garrison than go to the south of the Yangtze River!' With all due respect, if there is no westward expansion, there will be a southern expedition. When the time comes,
What the people of the Central Plains have to face is not a straight road that has been repaired, nor a road that can be regretfully blocked by a woolen sweater, but a smog-filled Lingnan where water bugs are rampant, and people on the roadside will be killed.
Ten times more..."
"The lesser of two evils?"
Fusu suddenly realized that the decision for the war was ultimately made by his father. At this time the year before last, Qin Shi Huang indeed had the intention to use troops in Lingnan, but he changed his mind after being attracted by Heifu's proposal to expand the west.
"It's Fusu who talks too much."
After saying this, he sighed and walked away, not knowing whether he understood or not...
After just taking a few steps, he looked back and said seriously: "General Wei, please rest assured that after leaving the fortress tomorrow, Fusu will not be delayed again while supervising the army!"
Looking back now, Heifu secretly said: "This young master looks compassionate and kind to others. Politically, he doesn't like Legalism. Instead, he likes the things of Huang Lao, Confucianism, and Mohism. What's even more exaggerated is that he actually cares about Guandong Guizhou."
.If it is true, he has a personality completely opposite to that of the emperor, and he makes no attempt to hide it. He is simply a political idiot. No wonder he is not liked by Qin Shihuang..."
If, as Ye Zijin feared, all of this was just an act, that would be terrible.
He shook his head, throwing these thoughts away.
"Didn't Madam say that to see how a person is, you have to observe his words and actions. You will know for yourself what kind of person you are after leaving the fortress!"
Is he a true gentleman or a hypocrite?
Can he become the resolute, courageous, ruthless and ruthless person that Qin Shi Huang hoped for, or will he stick to the concept of benevolence and generosity?
The black husband will listen to his wife's advice and keep an appropriate distance from her. As for whether it will change or not, it depends on fate.
While thinking about it, Heifu took his wife and son in his arms and kissed them each.
"I'm going out again!"
He looked at his son who cried loudly after being poked by his beard and smiled.
"Last time, my wife used the embroidered bag to pray that I would be safe and sound. This time, she added my son's name as a blessing."
Heifu hugged his son tightly again and said reluctantly:
