In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 678

Xianyang.

The courtyard is deep and lush.

Zhao Gao was sitting in the corridor, holding a legal order in his hand, and was teaching.

But the object of his teaching is chasing butterflies in the courtyard, having fun.

Zhao Gao looked at it and didn't stop him.

Finally, Hu Hai was also tired from playing. With a flick of his finger, the butterfly he had been chasing for a long time turned into powder in an instant. ,

Hu Hai sat back beside Zhao Gao, who poured him a glass of wine.

"Young Master, have you heard that the eldest son, Fu Su, pleaded for a group of Confucian scholars and offended His Majesty the Emperor."

"This fool."

Hu Hai took a sip of his wine, feeling a little disdainful.

"These great Confucian scholars oppose the construction of the Great Wall just because Meng Tian's army needs to mobilize food and grass from the land of Qilu. But what does this have to do with him, he insists on rushing forward."

Hu Hai's words made Zhao Gao smile.

"My lord is right, but I heard that His Majesty the Emperor seems to want Fusu to go to Meng Tian's army as a supervisor."

"Really?"

When Hu Hai heard this, Jiu Jue, who hadn't finished drinking in his hand, put down his face with joy.

"This matter should have been settled. I heard that the eldest son's mansion is already packing up."

"Ha! This kid really has a good life, but he has to go to that bitter cold place to feel at ease. Still supervising the army, can he supervise Meng Tian's army?"

Hu Hai was very happy, and drank all the wine in the wine bar, but Zhao Gao continued to talk.

"The current situation in the empire, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo are using troops in Baiyue, Meng Tian is using troops in Beihe, and Zhao Shuang is using troops in the Western Regions. These three armies are thousands of miles away from Guanzhong, and Mengtian's Beihe Army is the closest to Guanzhong. The imperial court recently discussed , To build a straight road from Jiuyuan to Guanzhong. If it is successful, the post-horse will gallop across a thousand miles, and the military situation in the distance will only take three days, and you can reach Linguang Palace."

"What do you mean?"

"The eldest son is still the biggest opponent of the eighteenth son and the other sons."

Hu Hai waved his hand, looking impatient.

"You are really boring."

Hu Hai looked up at the sky, seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and left.

The smile on Zhao Gao's face faded, and he walked away from Hu Hai's figure, and the man in black came slowly from behind.

"How's it going?"

"Loulan has joined Zhao Shuang."

Zhao Gao raised half of his hand, paused slightly, and turned his head.

"What about Tudor and Reminder?"

"They disappeared."

"What happened in Loulan?"

Zhao Gao murmured, and drank the wine slowly, feeling a little worried.But in the end, the situation there is unpredictable.

"Has Zhao Shuangdong returned?"

"He stayed in Loulan for a hundred days before returning east to the Yuezhi King City. Since then, Loulan has given up the previous national policy of isolating from the outside world and joined the trade route."

"Wusun has returned, and the Yue clan has been leveled. There will not be enough disasters in the Western Regions to threaten Zhao Shuang in a short time."

Zhao Gao was very apprehensive and asked.

"What about the Huns?"

"After Touman suffered a big loss at the hands of Meng Tian, ​​he retreated the main force of the Xiongnu to the north of Yinshan Mountain. In a short period of time, it seems that the Xiongnu did not dare to go south."

"So, we don't have enough bargaining chips in our hands to deal with Zhao Shuang."

"However, after Zhao Shuang arrived at the Yuezhi King City, he didn't continue to return to Jincheng, but stayed there. It seems that he has no plan to return his fief as soon as possible."

Zhao Gao stood up, a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face.

"I understand."

"what?"

"Now the Xiongnu have escaped, the Great Wall is being built, and the battle over Baiyue is going smoothly. There are no major wars in the empire and abroad. He is afraid that the birds will run out, so he temporarily stays in the Yuezhi King City, and then Observe the situation within the empire."

"Wouldn't it be better to stay in Jincheng, that's his lair, and there are heavy soldiers around!"

"He's scared." Zhao Gao was sure, "But it's good for us."

……

The House of the Prime Minister of the Left.

After several years of military service, when Li Si's son Li You returned to Guanzhong, he had already become a heroic general.

The current Li Si has also been promoted from Ting Wei, one of the Nine Ministers, to Prime Minister Zuo at the level of the Three Dukes.

The emperor was very kind to Li Si and married the princess to Li Si's sons.

"Your Majesty intends to place you in Sanchuan as the governor of Sanchuan. Yu'er, you know the importance of the task."

"My son understands that Sanchuan is the main route for the empire to go east, and it is also an important place for grain to enter Guanzhong from the west by water."

Li Si nodded. His son had experienced many years and finally became a talent.

"A large part of the Beihe army's rations comes from the land of Qilu. It starts from Huangxie in the east and merges into Beihe. It is extremely difficult to transfer and transport."

There was a sigh in Li Si's words.

This huge project has stirred up discussions all over the world.In Xianyang, a political storm was set off because of this.

"My son knows that Dr. Chunyu Yue wrote a letter to restore the enfeoffment system, which was refuted by his father."

"Chunyu Yue is a real person!"

After Li Si said something, he turned his head and looked around, and suddenly felt a slip of the tongue.But Li You asked behind him.

"What does father mean?"

"Yu'er, do you think there are any ministers of Tian Heng and Liu Qing in the empire?"

"Father means that Chunyu Yue is referring to you?"

After listening to Li You's words, Li Si still smiled after all.

"Now that the battle in the north has stabilized, is there any movement from the Anxi town army?"

"General Yang wrote a letter to His Majesty, saying that the border war has stabilized, and we should immigrate to settle the land to strengthen the border."

"I see, you are tired all the way, go down and rest first!"

As Li You retreated, Li Si walked to the porch and looked into the distance.

The empire has gone through a series of wars and projects over the years, which have cost a lot of people's resources and caused complaints from all over the world.

Today, the northern part of the empire has stabilized. Along the Yinshan Mountain, a Great Wall traverses from east to west, guarding the northern border of Guanzhong, and bringing the vast Henan land into the rule of the empire.

The Anxi town army, which was originally responsible for defending against the Huns, has become the rear of the territory they guarded.

A group of courtiers of legalist background thought this was a good opportunity to solve the problem of the family army, and proposed to let the Anxi town army garrison west.

This suggestion expanded the garrison range of the Anxi Town Army, but it also diluted their strength.

The border area is vast and sparsely populated, and the [-] Anxi town troops are placed in that vast area, and their forces are too scattered.

It might not be a good way for Xu Xu to figure it out in such a way.However, the reaction from the family cannot be ignored.

The honor in front of Li Si came from the emperor's trust.

But Li Si was from Chu after all, and his roots were not as deep as those of the aristocratic families in Qin.

The internal situation of the empire became more and more complicated, and Li Si felt more and more like walking on thin ice when he was in it.

Controversy between a hundred schools of thought, a dispute between aristocratic clans and outsiders, a dispute between the heirs and concubines within the empire...

Power struggles within the empire and external disputes, all of which are inseparably related to Li Si, who is in a high position.

If you are not careful, you may be crushed to pieces.

Inside the empire, there were people in a more subtle situation than Li Si.

But that Fang Chehou, who was in a foreign land and was closely related to the situation of the empire, hid far away and avoided all of this.

Li Si could not help but smile.

"What a Zhao Shuang!"
