Chapter 715: The Wicked Man on the Monarch's Side

"There's a better way!"

On the way back to the mansion, Gongzi Fusu closed his eyes for a long time, and suddenly said such a sentence.

"A hundred battles in one day", this is the relationship between the monarch and the minister that Qin Shi Huang wanted Fusu to understand, everything is only interests, and there is no trust at all.

It's not wrong to think about it, everyone has self-interest, and the title is formulated to satisfy the desires of the courtiers, and they rise up one level at a time, so that they are like hounds raised, for a few bones, running around.

A wise monarch will control it, as Wang Jian once complained: "As a great general, you will not be a marquis if you have merit." ”

Therefore, when the old ministers mixed up with the Marquis of Che, they were almost half cut into the ground, and they were relieved of military power by the emperor and returned to the dynasty to retire, which did not pose a threat to the emperor.

But after all, the twentieth rank is limited, and there are too many wars in the Qin Dynasty, although they rise slowly, but the young and strong Wei, Meng, and Li, accumulate over time, and after one battle, it is time to be able to seal the marquis.

Unlike Wang Qian, the three of them are all young and strong, and they can't step down logically, so they can only let them check and balance each other, like Heifu, a young man, he has to be like a thief, and he will be put under house arrest for a high position, and if he can't be restrained, he can only be killed.

Otherwise, I am afraid that he can't help but spy on the treasure, and even repeat the story of the Tian family's Daiqi.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Fu Su felt that this was not the best policy!

"Instead of blocking, it's better to be sparse!"

Fusu was deeply influenced by Confucianism, read all the historical books, and felt that there was the best example of dealing with the relationship between monarchs and heroes in history:

"King Wu of Zhou has never hidden or even killed the heroes such as Taigong, Duke Zhou, and Zhaogong. Instead of confined to the DPRK and depressed, why not let it go and tear the soil and seal the territory!? ”

If Qin Shi Huang knew about this idea, he would have rebuked him, because it was contrary to the Qin Dynasty's insistence on abolishing the feudal feud and establishing counties, but Fusu had his own opinion.

There were Confucian scholars who advocated with him to restore the Zhou rites, especially the feudalism of the Zhou Dynasty, and build children, so the Fanping royal family, the Deuteronomy auxiliary minister, so the Yuyi Dynasty.

But Fusu felt that the effect was not good, Zhou Gong ruled the world and established seventy-one countries, and the surname Ji lived alone fifty-three people, but look at the melee of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, you can understand that the princes surnamed Ji are not necessarily more loyal than those with different surnames, and the first one to offend the majesty of Zhou Tianzi is the surname Zheng Guo!

But he didn't think that the division of the Zhou Dynasty was useless.

"The father only saw that the division of the feudal system divided the princes and fought for hundreds of years, but he didn't see that the feudal division also expanded the land of Zongzhou and Zhou to the land of Kyushu Zhuxia!"

"The reason why the Zhou family has become a maladministration is that the kings of Zhou in the past dynasties divided the land of Shandong, except for Luoyang, so that the princes continued to expand and sit bigger, and eventually the branches were greater than the stems, which will have the later rites and happiness."

Therefore, the ideal division of Fusu is precisely what Chun Yuyue recently proposed: "Hainei counties, overseas feudalism!" “

First of all, it is necessary to change the military merit, and above the chief of the concubine, cancel the Marquis of Guannei and the Marquis of Che, and change it to the fifth rank: the prince and the boy.

Subsequently, outside of Kyushu, the newly acquired land in the past ten years: Lingnan, Minyue, Western Regions, Hexi, Haidong, and Shuofang can all be divided into fields!

"As an emperor, you can be arbitrary, but you can't be selfish!"

Fusu was not a selfish man, and he believed that instead of saving all the land in the hands of the imperial court and increasing the burden on the Central Plains, it was better to divide the uncontrollable border land.

For example, Feng Heifu in Lingnan, Li Xin in Hexi, Meng Tian in Shuofang, Wang in Liaodong, all of them are border marquis, and Feng Zhu's brothers are in the Western Regions, Southwest Yi, and Haidong, all of them are dukes......

In this way, it will not affect the unification of the counties and counties in the Central Plains, and it will be able to properly settle the children of meritorious heroes. The military meritorious ministers have satisfied the desires of the princes, so they don't have to worry about them snooping on the treasures, and even if they have, they can't reach it, and there are even children surnamed Ying who attack them.

And the central dynasty has established a feudal territory, and the wars in those remote areas can also be quelled, as for the border princes to conquer the barbarians and compile the people, that is their own business, and the court will not help.

"The stars are all around the world, and they are gathered in turns; Combine for the Hajj and leave for the retainers...... Isn't it the right way for a monarch and a courtier? ”

Fusu was excited about the future plan, but then shook his head and sighed.

Since that thing didn't work out, all this is just a matter of thinking.

The only thing that is certain is that one day, if he can become the second emperor, he will definitely change Qin Shi Huang's policy beyond recognition, or even overthrow it completely!

After Fusu returned to the mansion, the mastermind Dong Gong asked him to shield the left and right, and his face was solemn.

"Childe, there is a secret letter from the Marquis of Changnan!"

……

Dong Gong did not get the letter, because the person who sent the letter insisted that he must see Fusu himself before he could present the letter.

Fusu had no choice but to meet him personally.

The person who delivered the letter, called Ji Ying, was from the Heifu Township Party, and he looked like a thin monkey, looking left and right in the mansion, like a not very honest person.

Fusu couldn't understand why Chang Nanhou would let such a person take risks at such a critical juncture.

Dong Gong asked Ji Ying: "Guanzhong is under martial law, and it is not easy to enter and exit, how did you get in?" ”

Ji Ying smiled mysteriously: "Please rest assured, I have been a postal supervisor for many years, and I am in charge of the traffic of vehicles and ships, checking the transmission of talismans, and forging them, it is easy to forge them, and there are also some ways to get into the customs, and no one knows about it." ”

In fact, he came from Shuzhong, walked the line of Chencang and Duting, hid in the caravan with a false identity, and avoided Baqiao, which was more strictly checked.

After entering Xianyang, Ji Ying more or less heard the rumors of "the black of the dead Qin", touched the Changnan Hou Mansion, and was even more shocked when he found that it was being monitored! Fortunately, he finally found a way to sneak into Zhang Cang's mansion, and even communicated with the main mother Ye Shi through the small break between the two mansions in the name of "learning words", and then came here again......

After the carefully hidden letter was presented to Fusu, Fusu slowly unwrapped the twine and cut away the seemingly intact ink on it......

Speaking of which, Fusu and Heifu have not seen each other for more than two years, the last time they met, or after the conquest of Haidong, the two took a boat together to Jieshi to offer prisoners to Qin Shi Huangdi, on the boat, Fusu and Heifu drank together, and complained to him: "For the soldiers, a song "Dongshan" is the most in line with our state of mind. ”

But in the end, under the persuasion of Heifu, when Fusu was triumphantly singing and revitalizing the brigade, he still changed "Dongshan", which complained about the homesickness of the soldiers, to "Jianghan", which sang the praises of the rulers.

"For me, Chang Nanhou is indeed a mentor and friend......"

With this in mind, Fusu opened Kuruo's letter.

"The eldest son respects, Heifu dares to bow again......"

"It's Chang Nanhou's handwriting."

Fusu was still cautious, and asked people to take out the draft of the letters he exchanged with Heifu a few years ago and compare them, so that he was not suspicious.

"On the first day of the first month of the thirty-seventh year, Heifu saw the meteor last night, and he couldn't help but feel confused."

"If the country is in chaos, there will be disasters, but the disasters of Qin are not in the four realms, but within the Xiao wall."

"The ancients said, three people become tigers, Zeng Zi kills people, the sage of today's black husband is not as good as Zeng Shen, and His Majesty's faithful ministers are not as good as Zeng Shen's mother Xin Shen, and there are more than three people who suspect Heifu. I am afraid that if I live away for a long time, someone will slander me, and Your Majesty will also throw me into the house. Between the left and right sides of the king, there are traitors and wicked people, so they dare not say anything to Your Majesty, and they can only say it to the prince because they are observed by the traitors. ”

Reading this, Fusu said secretly: "What the Marquis of Changnan expected was not bad, there were indeed people plotting in secret and framing him, but it is a pity that the father knew the loyalty of the Marquis of Changnan, but he still wanted to go south to collect his military power." ”

But who is the "wicked man on the king's side" that Heifu is talking about?

This is what Fusu wants to know the most, he always feels that there is a force that is cooperating with those magicians who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and arranging a conspiracy against Heifu.

"The wicked man on the side of the king, Zhao Gao, and the unpredictable minister, Li Si!"

Fusu was quite surprised: "Zhao Gao, Li Si? ”

This is someone he never thought of, so it is these two people who are behind the Lu Ao Tianshu incident?

Looking further down, Heifu's words are even more shocking:

"It is a trivial matter for his generation to slander the black husband, but I am afraid that it will be chaotic and want to be unfavorable to the son. Once the mountain collapses, he will usurp power and overkill, and the son must not be guarded against! Once something happens, the Southern Army and the Northern Army, Heifu and General Meng, all of them are willing to serve Gongzi to succeed the unification and settle the world, they can all go and get it, and they must not be tied down! ”

After reading it, Fusu sighed: "This is Changnanhou, my mentor and friend, a warning to Fusu!" ”

"There is almost nothing left in his temple, and even someone framed him and thought of it, but after all, this letter was sent more than a month ago, and the Marquis of Changnan didn't know that there were so many big things in the imperial court!"

Qin Shi Huang began to drastically replace the generals, and even wanted to go south to collect Heifu's military power, if he didn't know how to kill him, and Meng Tian returned to Xianyang and served as a guard captain......

Seeing that the sun was setting, Fusu asked Ji Ying to take Ji Ying down to rest, and he thought hard:

"What do you mean by the wicked man on the side of the king, who is presuming the edict and harming me? Zhao Gao, Li Si, do you have such courage? ”

His gaze shrank sharply: "Unless it's ...... That thing? “

Before Fusu could call someone, his confidant Shao Ping knocked on the door.

"Childe, something happened to the Mo family!"

……

"What are you talking about, the ink man wants to pass through the palace, assassinate His Majesty, and be arrested by Lang Wei!?"

The one who came to deliver the news was still Meng Tian and Meng Yi's clan brother Meng Tianfang, and he briefly explained the matter.

It turned out that since last year, Qin Shi Huang began to mystify his whereabouts, and the place where he lived every night became a secret. The thunder was shocked, the palace car passed by, and he listened to it from afar, and he didn't know what he was doing, and his palace car was wandering between the roads, except for the most trusted people, even if it was the prime minister, he didn't know where he was. The ministers were decided, and they were known in Xianyang Palace, and occasionally in Zhangtai Palace.

But tonight, when Qin Shi Huang changed his residence in another palace, an assassin tried to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak over the wall into a remote corner of the palace, but was caught by the patrolling Lang Wei and killed one on the spot, and the remaining two assassins wanted to escape, jumped off the high wall and fell into the straw pile under the wall......

As a result, only one person successfully completed the operation, and the other person accidentally broke his leg, and after being caught by Lang Wei, he found out his identity: it was actually a disciple of the Mo family named "Zhao Yin"!

This can stab the big basket, Qin Shi Huang immediately ordered, Weiwei Meng Tian arrested all the members of the Mo family, and at the same time let Tingwei Meng Yi torture Zhao Yin, and finally Zhao Yin couldn't stand it and confided, the person who instructed them to form a party to assassinate the emperor was Tang Duo, the second-in-command of the Mo family.

"Although Tang Duo has run away, after all, he has been a staff member of Gongzi for many years, Meng Tingwei is afraid that this matter will be expanded by someone with a heart and involve Gongzi, so let me report it!"

As he was talking, there was also a sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping outside, it was the captain of the guard who was arresting people in the city, and it was really a big incident.

Meng Tianfang said hurriedly: "Right now, the entire Xianyang is in Dasuo. Tang Duo may not be able to escape for long, and I hope that Gongzi will find a way to clear his suspicions! ”

"These ink writers are really more than enough to succeed!"

Dong Gong was also anxious, and hurriedly said: "Does the prince want to enter the palace immediately and state to His Majesty?" ”

Since Meng Tian put him in the room, Fusu has been silent, shaking his head for a while, nodding his head for a while, and at this time, Dong Gong urged, and he didn't move.

"Childe?"

Dong Gong, Shao Ping, and Meng Tianfang shouted several times before Fu Su came back to his senses.

He looked at everyone, sighed, and said with a wry smile:

"What if I say that the main messenger behind Tang Duo and those ink masters is indeed me!?"
