When Lin Ze saw Hu Hai, Hu Hai was sitting by the fish pond. When he saw Lin Ze rushing over, he dismissed everyone around him, including two personal sixth-grade palace guards, and took out two official residence newspapers from his arms.
, handed it to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze opened the two newspapers from his residence and took a look. The first one was written by Xu Fu, the national counselor, to the Emperor of Qin: "I was ordered by the king to go to sea to search for immortals. It lasted three years. I sincerely request to return to the court."
The second one was Emperor Qin's decree: "Order all places to build roads and bridges, and fully cooperate with the imperial masters to return to the court."
Lin Ze was suddenly shocked. Xu Fu was coming back, and the overseas search for immortals should have results. He was afraid that the wind was about to change again.
Hu Hai asked with a worried look on his face: "Lin Ze, the national master has returned from seeking immortality, what should we do next?"
Lin Ze gave him a reassuring smile: "Young Master, you will be confused if you care. When the Imperial Master comes back, there are no more than two situations. First, if you find the elixir of life or immortal magic, then Young Master, stop thinking about other things and do it with peace of mind.
The first is a noble young master who can live a happy life; the second is that he has not found the elixir of life or magic, and the young master just needs to lie low and wait for things to change."
Hu Hai was puzzled: "If it is not found and the storage position is suspended, shouldn't we fight bravely with Fusu?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "You have to look at it from His Majesty's perspective. After your dream of immortality was shattered, two unscrupulous people in the family came out to fight for the family property. Can you not be angry?"
Hu Hai's face turned red and he smiled mischievously.
Hu Hai then looked forward and murmured: "Lin Ze, do you think immortality really exists?"
Lin Ze looked at Hu Hai's face. His seemingly calm face showed some panic and confusion. He couldn't help but smile and said: "I don't know if there is immortality. After all, I have never seen it. But if there really is one overseas,
If there are elixirs of immortality or immortal magic, then the overseas countries must have been overcrowded since ancient times. If the Imperial Master really finds them, I guess they will all come to their door through the Imperial Master's return route."
Hu Hai was stunned and said angrily: "Lin Ze, you are always talking nonsense. Even if there is an elixir of immortality or magic, it is impossible for everyone to live forever." But Lin Ze was clearly relieved to see him.
Lin Ze said calmly: "Some things are beyond our control. Master, it's better to relax."
Hu Hai's expression changed. He was about to say something, but his interest was waning and he sighed.
Lin Ze probably guessed what he was thinking, and said sternly: "Even if you have an idea, young master, please keep it in your heart. We are not strong enough now, and we have to continue to lie dormant for the future."
Hu Hai seemed to have listened, and then changed the subject and said, "Lin Ze, what do you think Fusu will think now?"
Lin Ze coughed twice: "No matter what he thinks, since the young master misses him, let's find something for him to do."
After saying that, Huang Banban and Chen Ping were called over. The four of them murmured for a while before each of them showed a satisfied smile. Lin Ze looked at the excitement on Chen Ping's face, which was full of uprightness before, and couldn't help but secretly laugh: What's going on?
I'm pretending to be innocent, I believe you are a ghost.
On the fifteenth day of Qiyang Palace, Fusu was banned. From the initial unwillingness and resentment, he gradually became calm and indifferent, and even began to enjoy the Confucian classic "The Analects of Confucius" brought to him by Zhou Qingchen.
Fusu has been thinking a lot these days. First, he subconsciously suspected that Hu Hai had set him up and was the culprit that caused him to fall into this situation. Then he thought of Hu Hai's number one "dog-headed strategist" Lin Ze, and he gritted his teeth and wanted to kill him.
Soon after.
As for Li Si finding out that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms were spreading rumors with the intention of overthrowing the Qin Dynasty, he didn't believe it. The Qin Dynasty implemented the household registration system. Anyone who had any connection with the Six Kingdoms would be closely monitored when entering Chang'an City. Ordinary people in the Qin Dynasty would not be able to get close to him.
He knew about the identity of the young master when he was touring his father's empire and participating in politics.
Looking back on my previous self, I was surrounded by Li You and others. Wherever I went, except for my father and the princes of the Qin Dynasty, who didn't give me some face? Everything I did went smoothly.
Now under an order, all his subordinates were gone, and he was left alone in the deep palace without being allowed to go out. Fusu finally understood: everything he once had was only in the hands of one person, and he had to cultivate his true strength in the future.
Confidant.
If Emperor Qin could see this scene, he would definitely sigh that his eldest son has grown up.
However, Emperor Qin was not in the mood to pay attention to his two sons at the moment. Apart from reviewing the memorials, he simply asked Zhao Gao lightly: "Check, where is the imperial master?" The number of times the Xianyang Palace door was opened today was one more than before.
More than a month.
The news that the Imperial Master Xunxian was about to return to the court spread throughout Chang'an City, and everyone had mixed reactions. Most of the people were happy. If Emperor Qin could live forever, the Qin Dynasty would be peaceful and prosperous from generation to generation, and future generations could live a stable life.
It is the greatest happiness.
The military is also vaguely expecting that since the Qin Dynasty is so coercive at home, its external expansion will not stop as long as the Emperor of Qin is alive. He will always be able to gain enough military exploits to influence future generations.
The civil servants had many changes in their minds, and only those who stood in line in advance were a little worried.
The most unusual thing is that not a single sound was heard from the princes' mansions.
In a house in Linzi County, Dongshan Province, Jiuqi, a group of young and old men were sitting separately. The man sitting at the end of the six seats was Zhang Liang, who had disappeared. At this time, he was smiling and saying nothing.
Look at everyone in the hall.
One of the middle-aged men spoke up to break the dull atmosphere: "When Xu Fu returns from overseas to seek immortality, if he really finds the elixir of immortality, then King Qin will gain immortality, and you will have no way to restore the country, and you will never be able to turn around. What is the plan now?
, everyone needs to work together, what should we do?”
An old man said with resentment and unwillingness on his face: "There is nothing to say. All families worked together and risked their lives to keep Xu Fu in Dongshan. Even if he dies, the tyrant Zhao Zheng will not have an easy time."
A young man said hesitantly: "But Xu Fu is at the Grand Master level after all, and no one on our side can compete with him. How can we keep him?"
Someone sneered: "The master level is not invincible. Didn't Duke Huan of Qi die in the sand dunes? King Helu of Wu was besieged by the army for ten days. Although he was not killed on the spot, didn't he return home with his blood and vitality so ruined that it was difficult to recover?"
Some people were unhappy: "You are the one who talks nonsense about the affairs of our country, Qi? Are you just looking for trouble?"
The man spoke sarcastically: "It's as if Duke Huan of Qi is the ancestor of your Tian family, but it's just the rebellious ministers and traitors who came to power."
The people of Qi State were furious: "Ji Yun, you are so presumptuous. Your State of Yan cut off the head of its own prince to seek peace, and you were still destroyed by the State of Qin."
The people of the Yan State did not show any weakness: "Tian Yu, your Qi State monarchs and ministers have no strong bones. As soon as the Qin soldiers arrived, they immediately knelt down and begged for surrender. It would be an honor for the monarch to starve to death."
The others finally couldn't stand it anymore and tried to persuade them to stop. An old man sitting in the main seat roared: "Shut up, I'm all a descendant of the royal family of the Six Kings. How can it be unbecoming for such a shrew to scold the public?"
The people of Yan and Qi then stopped talking and glared at each other. As early as the time when the Seven Kingdoms were competing for hegemony, the two countries had fought many times, causing unpleasant troubles. The Yan State almost destroyed the Qi State, which made the Qi State hold a grudge.
The State of Yan has always felt that when the State of Qin sent troops to destroy Yan and Zhao, it was the State of Qi that stood still and watched the destruction of Yan and Zhao, which was an accomplice of Qin, so it has always had a bad look on the descendants of the State of Qi.
A group of people calculated and calculated, but no one could come up with a definite solution. When it came to choosing a person to talk about things, everyone fought for it. When it came to helping others, everyone failed.
The strength is low and the manpower is limited.
Finally, someone came up with a compromise. Among the six kingdoms, Qi, as the local leader, sent out 5,000 fully armed soldiers, and the other five kingdoms each sent out 3,000, each under their own command. They agreed on a time and place to ambush Xu Fu and his men together.
The descendants of the Six Kingdoms reluctantly accepted that Qi had two thousand more people and had no objections. They agreed to ambush Xu Fu and others in Tai'an County in seven days.
After everyone dispersed, Zhang Liang slowly put away his smile and walked out from behind with his servants.
The servant said to Zhang Liang: "Sir, we don't have many people in Qi. We need to transfer some people from Han."
Zhang Liang pretended to be confused and asked: "Transfer people? Who should you transfer?"
The servant was stunned for a moment: "Didn't we make an appointment to ambush Xu Fu in seven days? We in South Korea are also going to send out three thousand soldiers. Didn't you pay attention just now?"
Zhang Liang sneered: "I, the loyal people of Korea, have a hard time surviving. Why should we let them die again? I don't think it's necessary."
The servant said anxiously: "If King Qin really gets the elixir of life, then there is really no hope of restoring Korea. How can we deal with the people of Korea?"
Zhang Liang laughed and said: "Only 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers can compete with the Grandmaster? Are the Grandmasters really like pigs and let them manipulate them? I don't plan to participate in this ambush. It will only increase casualties. They
The family is big and the business is big, let them be."
The servant's expression changed and he sighed: "It seems that the young master really doesn't expect those descendants of the Six Kingdoms anymore."
Zhang Liang shook his head: "A group of ignorant people who indulge in trivial matters all day are not worth wasting my time. Young Master, I will travel around the world to find someone who can truly slay the black dragon of Da Qin."
