"The world is divided into five suits, Feng Neidian suit, Feng Wai Hou suit, Hou Wei bin suit, barbarian service, Rong Di desert service, the reason why they are distinguished is because of the different situations near and far......"

In the thirty-third year of Qin Shi Huang, in the month of Ji Dong (December), in the mansion of the prince Fusu, Chun Yuyue, who still had the official position of a doctor, talked eloquently in front of Fusu.

"Yue Di is a desert service, from the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, it is not subject to the Central Plains education, not that the strong Fu can be served, and the Wei Fu can be controlled, but because the Yue people live in the land outside the Fang, they are the people who cut their hair and tattoos, and they cannot be governed by the Central Plains Rites and Ordinances, plus the Central Plains people in their land are not inhabitable, so it is not worth bothering the Central Plains."

"If you get the land, you can't have a county; Attack it, don't take it violently. The old man really couldn't figure it out, why did His Majesty have to go south? ”

A few days ago, Qin Shi Huang announced his brewing expedition plan to his ministers, which immediately caused an uproar in Xianyang!

After Chun Yuyue heard about this, he complained again and again, and Tang Duo, the ink master, also agreed.

"Although the kingdom is great, if it is warlike, it will perish."

The Mo family opposed all non-self-defense wars, and in the early years, it was for great unification, so Qin Mo withstood the pressure of bullying teachers and destroying ancestors, and helped Qin destroy the Six Kingdoms. After unification, it is time for the world to rest, but wars are still frequent. A few years ago, the emperor crusaded against the Xiongnu because the Xiongnu threatened the border fortress and even Guanzhong, which was barely reasonable, but now that the southern expedition to Baiyue, the Yue people opened up a corner, and they were too busy with internal fighting, how could they threaten the Central Plains?

Chun Yuyue said: "Yet, "Zhou Yi" said: Gaozong defeated the ghost prescription, and it was defeated in three years. 'Ghost Fang, little barbarian; Gaozong, Yin's son of Shengtian, with the son of Shengtian, cut down the small barbarians, three years later, how can he be so rash when he says that the use of soldiers is not unimportant? ”

Rumo has always been a mortal enemy, but this time, it is rare to talk about it.

Of course, although the emperor set the Eastern Expedition to Canghaijun, the southern expedition, because of the great stakes, still made hundreds of officials discuss, but it was limited to important ministers.

The Confucian doctors, since the two days of Zen and the two books, have been deprived of the power to discuss politics, and they have been frightened by the matter of the pit magician, the emperor but everything happened, the doctors were silent, and did not dare to discuss it again.

They are really alive, and they have become ritual vessels to decorate the court and temple, and they have no other use.

And the ink man was pulled by Heifu and Zhang Cang, and he didn't suffer much blow, and he relied on "Xinggongxue" to have a new way out and do some practical things, but he didn't have the right to speak about the government.

The two can only pin their hopes on Gongzi Fusu as usual.

Compared with a few years ago when he went to the Northland as a prison soldier, Fusu is fully adult, he is very tall, almost more than Qin Shi Huang, his face is a little thinner, and between his eyebrows, there is a little more worry, maybe there are too many things to worry about, and at a young age, he has a little forehead wrinkle.

After Chun Yuyue and Tang Duo finished speaking, Fusu sighed.

"What the two of them said makes sense, but just this rhetoric, the father will never listen to it!"

This is a lesson brought by falling again and again, over the years, from the first unification of the twelve gold people, to the ban on 100 dialects last year, he has not been able to admonish? But not once, it was Qin Shi Huang who could listen to it!

At first, there was a reprimand, but recently, Qin Shi Huang didn't even want to see his face, and the music that was handed in was also lost in the sea.

There are also resourceful disciples who teach him, don't blindly admonish, learn from Hu Hai and other sons, don't mention political affairs, only ask the emperor about the scenery he saw along the way, and also roll around and say that he wants to go together next time, so that the emperor is very relieved......

This kind of privilege of the youngest son, of course, the eldest son Fusu can't learn it, but he can also ask for warmth and say some nice things to make Qin Shi Huang happy.

But Fusu refused.

"My father has twelve sons, more than ten daughters, and hundreds of concubines, thousands of ministers and billions of people."

"For the health of my father, there are many people who care about and condole, and many people compliment him for his achievements, but looking at the world, I can tell the truth to my father ......"

He smiled wryly.

"It's the only Fusu, right?"

As the eldest son, he always has to have some responsibilities that must be shouldered, and others dare not say what he can't say, so he can only do it.

"If Fusu also learns from those people, ignores the facts, and only deceives the monarch's father for personal gain, not to mention whether Fusu can win the favor of his father, if that's the case."

When he was alone, he sighed secretly:

"My father, the emperor, is really alone......"

"As a son of man, Fusu can't bear to be like this!"

Because he couldn't bear it, because he didn't want to deceive, he had to tell the truth.

But that doesn't mean you have to do it the same way every time.

Fusu is also growing up, and he will also learn his lessons.

"I'm not going to give advice right away."

After thinking about it for a long time, Fu Su got up and said: "Father doesn't like to use the past to disagree with the present, and using the things of the past to admonish will only backfire. What my father wants to hear is not a lie, but an empirical evidence! ”

After that, Fu Su looked at Chun Yuyue and Tang Duo in their surprised eyes:

"Fusu has his own plans, but first, I want to ask two gentlemen to help me do two things!"

……

After experiencing various things such as the Eastern Tour, the Zen Seal, the Rebellion, and the Pit Warlock, the emperor ordered the ministers to discuss politics, which has completely become an ornament.

The heart of the first emperor became more and more arrogant, so no one dared to raise objections anymore, everyone was speculating about Qin Shi Huang's idea, probably wanting to conquer Baiyue, so, throughout December, above the Xianyang court, the ministers rushed to support the southern expedition, and listed various reasons to justify the war.

For example, the Nanyue tribe took in the Chu nobles in a vain attempt to help those Chu people restore the Chu state. For example, Daqin sent a friendly mission caravan to bring the Yue people back to the Central Plains to see the world of flowers, but the king of Xiou attacked blatantly. It is also "said" that Baiyue cannibalism, and this vice must be stopped by the civilized Central Plains people.

In the midst of the support, Qin Shi Huang still did not directly express his attitude, but what made him feel strange was that Gongzi Fusu, who should have jumped out early to oppose it, had two court meetings in a row, but only listened to the discussion of others, and did not say a word himself.

Although Qin Shi Huang was quite disliked by Fusu, his son suddenly changed his sex, which also made the emperor a little unaccustomed.

It was not until a few days before Meng Chun Zhengshuo, after the court meeting ended and the ministers dispersed, that Fusu passed through the confessor and asked to see the first emperor.

When he first came back, because of Fusu's advice, Qin Shi Huang didn't bother to see him, but now Fusu was silent for more than half a month, and the emperor also wanted to know his opinion, so he agreed to Fusu to enter the palace to meet him.

On the way to the palace, Fusu could only secretly sigh that since Qin Shihuang returned from his inspection, it has been two months, and he has had the opportunity to enter Xianyang Palace for the first time, and Li Si, Ye Teng and other important ministers have entered the palace more than three or five times.

It's also funny, born in the emperor's family, father and son meet each other, it's more difficult than ordinary monarchs and ministers to meet each other!

Shaking his head helplessly, Fusu continued to move forward, he did not admonish in public, but chose the father and son to get along alone, but also hoped that his heartfelt words could touch the emperor.

Qin Shi Huang is still like that, when he sees his youngest son Hu Hai, he often smiles and licks his calves, but he always has a straight face for his eldest son Fusu.

It was embarrassing when they first met, they were connected by blood, but the father and son didn't know what to talk about, Qin Shihuang asked Fusu what he was doing recently, and Fusu also answered one by one.

Fusu recently got an errand, that is, the "Xianyang Sacrificial Wine", responsible for supervising the opening of the school of industry and agriculture, and seeking his own government in his position, he personally went to the construction site to inspect the craft, learned from Tang Duo about the craftsmanship of the inker, and also learned to go to the field to identify the crops, no longer the noble son who did not distinguish between grains.

In addition, Fusu was also very interested in the printing technology that had been handed down from Jiaodong, and felt that this thing could not only make the official documents more efficient, but also be used to promote education.

It's just that he believes that what needs to be printed is not only the provisions of the law, the solar terms of the lunar calendar, but also the poems, books, rituals and music......

After an embarrassing question, Qin Shi Huang's face softened slightly, because what Fusu had done recently was at least something that was "useful" in the emperor's eyes, not a vain article.

The atmosphere seems to be a little more harmonious, but what should be said, it still has to be said, if you don't say it, he is not Fusu!

"Say it."

Qin Shi Huang also seemed to understand the temperament of his eldest son, and when he saw that Fusu stopped talking, he stopped talking, so he said coldly: "I know that you have been holding back for a long time, and you will say everything you want to say!" ”

"The minister, so he dared to say it."

Fusu took a deep breath, he had a hunch, this time, although he had made a lot of preparations, it was very likely that he would still be responsible.

But if he is against the ear, when others don't say it, he has to pretend not to see it, watching his father become more and more arrogant, and seeing the next step of the day slipping into the abyss of chaos?

Sure enough, as soon as Fusu opened his mouth, Qin Shi Huang's face darkened.

What Fusu is talking about is the disaster situation in various places in recent years......

The Qin Dynasty was too big, forty counties, it was impossible for each county to have a good weather, either there was a drought here, or a flood there, just sent away the locust plague, and ushered in famine.

"Taiyuan County has repeatedly failed to harvest for several years, even if it is composted and composted, it cannot be compensated, and the people sell their lords to receive food and clothing, and rely on His Majesty Shi Budeze to save them, so as not to turn to death."

"The same is true in Chenjun, where the harvest has failed for four consecutive years, and in the fifth year there has been a locust plague, and the livelihood of the people has not yet recovered."

Qi has experienced a big chaos, in addition to the preservation of Jiaodong, Langya's loss is not big, Linzi, Jibei have suffered heavy losses, I am afraid that within five years and ten years, can not recover as before, next to Julu County, the traitor of the heroic Lu Goujian escaped into the mountains and forests, has not yet been pacified, in the middle of Dongjun and Surabaya, there are robbers gathered in Dayozawa, led by a thief called "Peng Yue".

This is the current situation in the Central Plains, Taiping? It's not anything to do with peace!

"But at this juncture, my father has to send troops to travel thousands of miles, carrying food and clothing, and fighting in the south and in the north!"

After talking about the hidden dangers within the Qin Dynasty, Fusu began to describe the difficulty of cutting Yue.

"Erchen heard that the miasma in the south is prevalent, the army goes deep into the land, through the deep forest and bamboo thickets, there are many pit vipers and beasts, in the hot summer season, the disease breeds, I am afraid that before the army is fought, the soldiers will die. And the conscription of the Kanto light chivalrous evil boy, the generation is worried about death, worried that the future is not safe, and will also take the opportunity to flee after entering the Yuedi. In this way, even if all the Yue people were captured, they could not compensate for the dead. ”

"The Yue people were born in the south of the Yanghan Dynasty, familiar with the terrain, and attacked the Yue with the army, if the Yue people escaped into the deep mountains and dense forests, they had no choice, as soon as the army left, the Yue people gathered with each other again. Even if a city stronghold is established, it can only be guarded by large soldiers. For many years, the soldiers were tired and there was a shortage of food. ”

"In order to support those soldiers, the Central Plains can only send hundreds of thousands of people, thousands of miles to supply, so that the Central Plains men can not cultivate, women can not weave, Ding Zhuang joined the army to fight, the old and weak transport food, no food at home, no food for travelers. At that time, the people will be afflicted with war, and many will flee, and the court will not be able to stop blindly killing them, so that thieves will rise up in the counties......"

Fusu just wanted to tell his father that as long as he calculated the possible benefits of the expedition, he would find that what he gained in the war was not as much as what he lost.

Doesn't it make the whole country feel sad that the people are sent to death for nothing in order to compete for surplus land?

Is it the need to govern the country to destroy a large amount of money and compete for a piece of land that cannot be ruled in order to satisfy the false name of "the south and the north", and to let tens of thousands of people die in battle?

In his opinion, coveting the name of victory is just a cover for deception!

"Therefore, when a soldier is murderous, one side is in a hurry, and all sides obey. Erchen is worried that the rise of the evil will start from the beginning of the war, and I hope that Your Majesty, be cautious! ”

After saying it in one breath, Fu Subai fell to the ground and closed his eyes.

Although there is little hope, he only hopes that his father can listen to the admonition once!

After a long silence, Qin Shi Huang spoke.

"Finished?"

"Erchen knows everything."

"Do you know everything?"

Qin Shi Huang sneered: "The son of the child is sitting in Xianyang, and he doesn't know the world, so he began to comment on the pros and cons of the world, and the military affairs are coming." You're still like that, in my opinion, you still get along too much with those Confucian scholars who guide the world in the study! ”

"Erchen is not speculating, nor is he lying about it, every word is the truth!"

changed other sons and ministers, and when they saw that the emperor was angry, they trembled and bowed down early, and admitted their mistakes on the spot.

But Fusu raised his head and responded bravely: "The disasters in Taiyuan and Chen County are known to all the ministers, but they just report good news to Your Majesty and not bad news." ”

"As for Baiyue, in the past month, Fusu asked someone to find all the literature and classics that mention Baiyue for me, check them word by word, and know its geography. I also invited the ink people who have been to Yuzhang and Limen to talk in detail and understand the people's livelihood, although it is not as good as visiting in person, but they also know a little bit about it, and it is not nonsense. “

This is what Fusu asked Chun Yuyue and Tang Duo to help.

Qin Shi Huang thought he was pragmatic and not pragmatic, so he learned to do practical things. Thinking that his past advice was empty, he visited little by little, and then spoke after proving that his idea was correct.

He only hoped that through these preparations and changes, his advice would be heard by the emperor.

But Fusu didn't know that in his eyes, the people who needed to be appeased were what the emperor wanted to send to Biansai to consume!

Fusu wanted to slow down, but the emperor wanted to be anxious.

Qin Shi Huang looked at his young son, full of gorgeous hair, and then looked at his gray sideburns and beard in the bronze jian, and sometimes, he even felt a trace of jealousy.

Can you wait, can I wait?

Human nature is evil, and if you want to cure it quickly in this world, you can only use heavy canons!

He wants to come to An'an through external expansion, but he can't be known to outsiders, and this kid doesn't understand it at all!

Violent conflicts, contradictory ideas, irreconcilable contradictions.

What annoyed the emperor even more was Fusu's next words.

Fusu bowed again: "Including the book "Southern Expedition" written by Jiaodong Shou back then, Erchen also stayed awake all night and read it three times! The southern expedition was not easy, and this is the conclusion drawn from this book. Between the lines, it is all to persuade His Majesty to stop the southern expedition. Now the ministers of the court and the central government do not know the danger of the south, so they blindly support the southern expedition, since His Majesty feels that Fusu's words are untrue, why not ask, what do you think of the most familiar Wei Junshou in the south? ”

Fusu believes that as long as he carefully understands the situation in the south, he will have the same opinion as himself, not to mention that the black man who changed his method to persuade Qin Shi Huang and let him postpone the southern expedition!

Although several years have passed, Fusu still can't forget what Heifu said to him outside the Jingbian Temple in Yiqu City, Beidi County:

"Doesn't Gongzi hear that the old Qin people in Yongdi have a ballad, 'I'd rather go to the north 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, and what the people of the Central Plains will have to face at that time is not to repair the straight road, nor to put on a woolen coat and regretfully plug it, but to smoke and miasma, and the water Gu is rampant, and the people on the side of the road will be killed, I am afraid that it will be ten times more ......" (see Chapter 434)

The lesser of two evils is the lesser of two evils, but unfortunately, it only dragged on for a few years.

Although Fusu was very dissatisfied with Heifu's words last year and the capture of Yu Dao in a chaotic manner, whether it was him arguing with Li Si and making book burning turn into book repair, or everywhere he went, he tried every means to make profits, wool, salt, and make the jurisdiction rich, which Fusu admired very much.

He also believed that in the matter of the southern expedition, Heifu would give Qin Shi Huang the right advice!

So far, the prime minister, the imperial doctor, and Jiuqing are all afraid to speak, and the only one who can dissuade the emperor may be Heifu......

But he didn't know that this sentence had violated Qin Shi Huang's taboo!

"Okay."

Qin Shi Huang suddenly smiled, but that smile was a little unusual:

"You have read a lot of books, but the situation eight years ago is very different from the situation today, I have personally been to Yuzhang, and what I have seen and heard is very different from the "Southern Expedition".

His smile vanished, and his face suddenly turned cold.

"I do want to hear what Heifu will say!"

Is it to keep pace with the times, or to carve a boat for a sword!

At this moment, the confessor entered tremblingly and interrupted the father-son conflict.

He glanced at Fusu, bowed to Qin Shi Huang, held a scroll of music in both hands, and raised it high.

"Your Majesty, the letter of the county guard of Jiaodong Wei has arrived!"
