Li Si, Mao Jiao, and Yao Jia were retreated by Qin Shi Huang in advance, and when they walked outside the hall, the sun had risen in mid-air, and the three of them were all old, and they only felt that the sun was dazzling.

Yao Jia yawned: "It's okay to be broken up by His Majesty, just go to the official office to take a nap." ”

Then he suddenly smiled and said: "But speaking of which, Your Majesty really trusts that black man, and actually shields us and discusses with him alone." Prime Minister Li, if I remember correctly, among the three of us, you had such a good encounter ten or twenty years ago, right? ”

Li Si naturally remembered that during that time, the monarch and the ministers got along, and it was precisely because of Qin Shi Huang's faith and love for him that there were princesses of Li Si's sons, and the daughters married the in-laws of Qin Gongzi.

But Li Si has always known his duty as a minister, and he does not dare to claim to be his own family.

At the moment, Yao Jia's words were quite provocative, and Li Si only said lightly: "Your Majesty summoned a lot of people to discuss matters alone, including Wei Yi, Dun Weak, Wang Jian and Wang Ben from afar, and Meng Tian and Li Xin from afar. ”

"That's right."

Yao Jia answered: "When I left Xianyang to go to the outer county to be punctual, Your Majesty treats Li Xin and Meng Tian the most, but these two people together are not as important as Heifu, Your Majesty is really like laying bricks, and the latecomers are also superior!" ”

Mao Jiao frowned: "What did Yao Shaofu say?" The reason why you and I entered Qin from Wei and Qi is not because of the ability of the Qin State, Li Xin and Meng Tian have disappointed Your Majesty, but Heifu has never been, he is loyal to his duties and does things properly, what if His Majesty treats him very well? Do you have a grudge? ”

"Resentful? Don't dare, don't dare ”

Yao Jia touched the crown on his bald head and sighed: "It's just that I'm afraid, think about it carefully, the Western Expedition, the Northern Expedition, and the Eastern Expedition are all related to this person. At that time, I'm afraid that my position as a young man will be vacant. ”

"Yao Shaofu is nearly seventy years old, and it is time to step down."

Mao Jiao and Yao Jia have known each other for many years, and they complained unceremoniously, but when they said it, they found that Yao Jia had a hint of treachery in his smile, so he secretly said that it was not good.

He forgot that there was an older ...... next to him

Li Si didn't seem to hear it, and arched his hand at the two of them: "The state affairs are busy, and another batch of music has been delivered, so Si is one step ahead." ”

After saying that, he left, got on the seat, and staggered towards the outside of the Jieshi Palace.

Looking at Li Si's back, Yao Jia said: "Mao Yushi doesn't have to feel that he said the wrong thing, our Prime Minister Li Cheng is not old, he must feel in his heart that he can be the prime minister for another ten years!" Power is addictive! ”

"Yao Shaofu is also addicted to power?"

Mao Jiao looked at Yao Jia and sneered: "If it weren't for that, before entering the palace, I said that I would help each other in the same boat and endure each other for the country, and now I am instigating the old ministers and the new ministers like this, what is the purpose?" ”

"Me?"

Yao Jia laughed, and then became serious: "Mao Yushi, have you and I ever tasted power?" Not even qualified to be addicted! ”

……

When Heifu came out of the palace, he found that among the three old ministers, only Mao Jiao was still waiting outside, didn't Qin Shi Huang already ask the confessors to come out and let them come again in the afternoon?

Mao Jiao smiled and said: "The old man is old, his bones are cold, just bask in this warm sun, Wei Junshou also wants to go to the palace, how about traveling in the same car together?" ”

Hefu had no choice but to respond.

Mao Jiao is a special trip to stay and wait for Heifu, he is an oriental erudite, has been a "Fu" for a period of time, teaching Fusu to learn to play chess, Fusu attaches great importance to filial piety, and there are also factors taught by Mao Jiao. Mao Jiao attached great importance to Fusu, and was bombarded by Qin Shi Huang because of his suggestion of "establishing the prince early", and his political tendencies were self-evident.

Since Heifu is a member of the "princelings", he is naturally very enthusiastic about him, and after Heifu boarded the car, he already called Heifu "Jimo" one by one.

"Your Majesty has been talking with Jimo for a long time, and the matter of the Southern Expedition has been decided?"

There was only a "Emperor's Anger" staged in the palace, although Heifu said a heartfelt word, and handed over the strategy of the southern expedition that he did not intend to take, but he was still scolded by Qin Shi Huang again and blasted out.

Naturally, he couldn't tell anyone about these things, and Heifu only smiled mysteriously: "Your Majesty's words, Heifu doesn't dare to spread them privately." ”

"That's right, that's right, otherwise, you don't have to block others."

Mao Jiao laughed dryly, although he scolded Yao Jia for being jealous and jealous, but in his heart, he also had a sense of "terrible afterlife", so he said:

"However, Jimo said before that Pingyue can't do it in half a year, and Lingnan is really so difficult to fight? I always thought that Zhuyue had been decided, and only the two small tribes of Xiou and Luo Yue were left to resist stubbornly. ”

Heifu shook his head: "Doctor Yushi, I heard that you are good at chess?" ”

Mao Jiao bowed: "I once learned chess from a player in Daliang. ”

"That kid dares to ask Doctor Yushi, what is the most difficult chess game in the world?"

Mao Jiao thought for a while: "It's the leftover endgame of others......"

He smiled dumbly: "I understand, the current Lingnan is also an endgame." ”

Heifu bowed: "Of course, the endgame is already very difficult to play, not to mention, before I carefully observe the chess game, I will be asked to make a military order of 'half a moment to win', I dare not agree." ”

As a general, one thing to keep in mind is: chaos is not followed!

Heifu said one thing to Mao Jiao: "A hundred years ago, the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Han attacked Chu, and Qi was Kuang Zhang, and the Chu army lined up for half a year. ”

"King Qi Xuan was extremely impatient, so he sent a messenger to the front line, urging Kuang Zhang to cross the river quickly and fight with harsh words!"

"However, Kuang Zhang refused, and he asked the envoy to return to Linzi to tell the king of Qi: 'Remove Kuang Zhang's post and kill me, and even kill my whole family, which the king can do; But as long as Kuang Zhang is a general for a day, when the fighter is immature, he wants me to fight, and when the fighter is mature, he wants me to retire, even if it is the king's order, Kuang Zhang will not dare to obey! ’”

Because of this, Kuang Zhang won the victory of the sand and became a generation of famous generals. Therefore, the method of using the army will be ordered by the king, and the army will gather the crowd, Tu will not be able to attack, the army will not attack, the city will not be attacked, and the land will not be disputed. The king's order, there is something to be discouraged! ”

"Heifu is the same for the general, now the south is in the right place and the people are lost, Your Majesty wants half a year to level the Yue, it is really difficult for a strong man, if you don't know this, blindly radical and impatient, even if the Qin soldiers are strong in the north, go to the south, the water and soil are not adaptable, it is inevitable to lose again and again, and in the end it falls into the quagmire, it is thousands of soldiers who die, and it is the state affairs of Great Qin that are bad!"

Therefore, before the war, the general must make it clear to the top decision-maker: it is your right to remove from office, but how to fight the battle on the front line must be my final say!

This is the insistence of the Hef.

The more Mao Jiao listened, the more surprised he became, and he looked Heifu up and down, as if he knew him again.

In this son, he seemed to see himself twenty years ago, standing in front of the boiling Dading, looking up and arguing with Qin Shi Huang.

It is also as if I saw ten years ago, although he was young, he admitted death and used his immature voice to persuade Qin Shi Huang not to kill innocents indiscriminately and cherish the people's power in Fusu.

Now, while both of them have learned to remain silent, Heifu would rather offend the emperor than obey the order......

This made Mao Jiao even more convinced that Heifu is a person of my generation, trustworthy, and can be cited as an Olympic aid!

So, Mao Jiao solemnly said to Heifu:

"I'm ashamed, I always thought that Wei Junshou was a sleek person, who obeyed His Majesty's orders, and even acted sycophantly. But I never thought that when it comes to military affairs and state affairs, you will not give an inch, and you can even argue with Your Majesty in court, you are really a lonely minister! ”

……

After leaving the Jieshi Palace, Heifu and Mao Jiao said goodbye and got out of the car.

Heifu shook his head after the carriage was far away, and said secretly: "Doctor Yushi, you are looking at the wrong person, I, I am not so noble at all......"

Every person in society has to learn to play different roles in front of different people.

In front of Mao Jiao, he was a brave and lonely minister.

In front of Fusu, he is a mentor and friend.

In front of the people, he is a good official.

In front of Qin Shi Huang, Heifu was a loyal soldier and the dry city of the country......

Although he knows that he is an actor, sometimes after a long time, Heifu can't tell whether these roles are real or fake?

"When Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors and rumors, Wang Mang was humble and not usurped, perhaps, if he can act to the end, it is true, and if he doesn't act to the end, it is fake."

When Heifu returned to the pavilion, his nephew Wei Yang came to tell him that Chen Ping had just come from Jiaodong and was in the port.

Heifu bowed: "It's good to come, let him come to see me." ”

In front of this overly clever henchman, what will Heifu play?

He rubbed his face, trying to make himself look like a hero.

"Of course, the ambitious lord!"
