[Qin] Qin Shi

"You want to tour the south?" Following Ying Zheng from the outer palace to the inner palace, Bai Shu looked at the king standing in the hall and found a place to sit down, "Are you sure you want to go to the south tour at this time ?”

"Why not?" Ying Zheng stood behind the curtain with open arms, and a court lady stepped forward to take the heavy court clothes for him, "Now that the world has been settled, my country, why not take this opportunity to go out for a walk. Besides, my I’m going to go on tour, and I can also urge the construction of fast roads in various places, can’t I, running on a road that won’t be bumpy sounds very desirable.”

"You're talking about cement." This was also one of the things that Bai Shu and the system had left over from the beginning and was not immediately used in Yanbei. "I'm just worried that if you leave Xianyang, those rebel forces will be ready to move." Through the curtain, Bai Shu could see the figure of Ying Zheng taking off the black and gold court clothes, "The safest place in the world is Qin Palace."

"If I don't create opportunities for them, those cowardly people will not be able to wait for a chance to rush to me for a lifetime." The king didn't care, he turned around and changed into a relaxed robe with the help of the maid, waved back Asked others, "While taking advantage of the southern tour, we can wipe out a wave of rebellion, so why not do it."

From the corner of his eyes, Bai Shu glanced at the court lady who was saluting to him: "Take your own safety as a raft, you don't take your own life seriously. You want those who deliver documents to chase you around," thought The scene of one person walking in front and a group of people chasing after him is interesting, "Li Si is an old man, do you want to take him with you?"

"So, Fusu will stay in Qin Palace." Ying Zheng didn't deny it, he just answered the previous sentence, "This time, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Jian and others will stay in Xianyang. I will entrust you with my task."

Only generals are mentioned, but civil servants are not involved.

It was also at this time that the last maid of honor withdrew from the hall, and she turned around and closed the door of the hall.

And with the sound of the wooden door knocking lightly, as if the pause button was pressed, the conversation in the room stopped without warning.

Bai Shu looked in the direction where Ying Zheng was.

"Did you see Li Si's appearance in the hall today?" Knowing what Bai Shu wanted to ask, Ying Zheng responded lightly, opened the curtain and came out from the inner room.

"Your Majesty suddenly announced this in the court today, which naturally scared people a lot." Seeing Ying Zheng sitting down opposite him, Bai Shu took the initiative to put the upside-down cyan porcelain cup upright, and held it for him earnestly. He poured the tea and smiled obsequiously, "Naturally, Shu was also frightened, so he couldn't wait to come to His Majesty after feeling uncomfortable."

"Scared you too?" Seeing Bai Shu, who was sitting across from him, being courteous to him, he raised his hand to hold the teacup to cover the corner of his upturned mouth, and his voice was mixed with a laugh that he didn't realize, "I never I didn't know you were so unintimidated."

"Because it's His Majesty." Bai Shu knelt and sat opposite Ying Zheng, with a strong desire for knowledge in his eyes, "I heard that the Ministry of Industry has sent over the design of His Majesty's... imperial mausoleum? !"

Ying Zheng glanced at Bai Shu, looking at the curiosity and eagerness on his face that he hadn't tried to hide: "My imperial tomb, what do you want?" Strong distrust and rejection, "You said that after death, only If you want a straw mat, just roll it up and find a place with good mountains and rivers to bury it."

"Yes, yes, that's what Shu said." He couldn't hide his excitement, "But isn't this curiosity?"

"Be careful that I chop off your paws that like to rip around," Ying Zheng snorted and put down his teacup, "Sometimes I wonder, when will you change?"

"Your Majesty, do you know what a dangerous thing you are talking about?" He was not at all timid because of Ying Zheng's dangerous words, in fact he looked happier, "If Shu Bian changes, the first thing to do is bring Let Yanbei rise up—well, you know what I mean."

"Rise up against the rebels," Ying Zheng bit the idiom and laughed out loud, "It's a good metaphor." He didn't take Bai Shu's words to heart, "Screen out the trustworthy people in your hands again, and make sure Yanbei arrives. The roads in Xianyang are smooth—it is really a last resort to escort Fusu to Yanbei."

Bai Shu's eyes widened inadvertently: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do again?"

Seeing how the other party exploded, Ying Zheng was amused: "I guess halfway through this parade, the group of people in the north should also move. It is also a good thing to take this opportunity to exercise Fusu."

Although Fusu is now well-known in Yanbei because of Bai Shu, such fame is not enough for Ying Zheng: "This time I left from Xianyang, and those who have the guts will naturally come for me, while Those cowardly Xiaoxiao can only move Xianyang City."

"Knowing that you are still running around?" Bai Shu said that he really couldn't understand, "It's the group of court ladies just now, right?" Otherwise, Ying Zheng couldn't just let them talk about the secrets of the Southern Tour when there are outsiders. "Let Shu guess, this is what you said before, you want to set up a game with Orchid?"

Ying Zheng smiled, and he was sure: "You know me, this parade is just the beginning, I plan to take those children out in turn, it's okay." He paused, his expression was in a daze, "I am a father Yes, the only thing that can be given to them is compensation."

Speaking of this, he himself is laughing at himself: "When I was a prince, I secretly made up my mind. If I become a father one day, I will definitely not be as irresponsible as my father. I will treat me well My child, I will take him by my side and teach him carefully, I will tell him what is right and what is wrong, I will be equal and just."

"Now it seems that Zheng is more heartless than his father."

"There is such a saying that when all children grow up, they will become the kind of person they hated the most when they were young." This kind of warmth always makes Bai Shu feel a little uncomfortable, "Now it seems that you are probably the person you hate the most, my lord." It’s the King of Qin—the successful Qing is better than Lan, congratulations.”

The person who was still immersed in sadness paused, and burst out laughing: "Your starting point is always novel." He didn't hate this feeling at all, "It's just that I suddenly realized that my father, like the old king, couldn't give them a gift. The position of marquis cannot give them an equal share of the family property like an ordinary father."

Bai Shu blinked, not quite sure what Ying Zheng meant: "Should Shu speak at this time?"

Ying Zheng didn't care about Bai Shu's uncertainty: "But it doesn't matter."

"Before in the court, you mentioned the world map I gave you." Bai Shu pointed carefully outside the Qin Palace, "What if we replace their fiefs with heads and let them expand their territories? ?”

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, hummed lightly, and signaled Bai Shu to continue talking.

"Building straight roads, opening up the Great Wall, and digging channels are all for the purpose of speeding up the speed of travel from south to north and strengthening your control over the empire. You will not continue to expand outwards because you find that if this land continues to grow, If the monarch does not have enough power in his hands, it will be difficult to control it."

After all, it takes ten days and a half months to send a letter in this era, and no one knows what happens thousands of miles away. Without the monarch's order, the local rulers are not easy to act arbitrarily: "If there is such a talented child, It's better to give him a hand and let him go out and rush, and whatever he breaks out is his."

"If there is such an outstanding prince, it is feasible." After thinking for a while, Yingzheng weighed the pros and cons, "When Li Si enters the palace and presents the new bill to me for my review, I will mention to him—— This matter stops with you and me, don’t let others know.”

This kind of protection, Bai Shu couldn't help but reason: "The bill has been revised?" He is not good at this, so he didn't pay much attention to it, "It seems that Prime Minister Li has been very busy recently."

Qin's laws are strict, on the one hand, because such strict laws will make the people put too much energy on marching and fighting, and on the other hand, only marching and fighting can offset the crimes committed. The army has replenished its combat power.

Now that the world is settled, only the frontiers still have wars, so naturally the old rules can no longer be followed.Moreover, the land of one side is easy to manage, but the land of the six countries is difficult to control. In order to temporarily appease the survivors of the six countries, Qin must also appropriately release its own rules. .

"It's almost finished," Ying Zheng nodded, "Li Si is a talent in this area." The topic circled around and came back to Li Si, "...Li Si was originally Zhongfu's servant. , never thought of using his."

Bai Shu paused for a moment with the hand holding the cup, and belatedly realized that the Zhongfu Yingzheng was talking about referred to Lu Buwei.

"He's talented, ambitious, and capable—but he's Zhongfu's disciple." Ying Zheng lowered his eyes, "Bai Shu, if I asked you to hand over Yanbei to Meng Tian today, would you be able to do it?"

The sound is very soft, but the sound is obviously very soft, but it is too loud in the room.

The joy on Bai Shu's face gradually faded away, and his light-colored eyes fell on Ying Zheng's face without turning his eyes: "Your Majesty knows what Yanbei means to Shu, right?"

As for Ying Zheng, he didn't change anything because of Bai Shu's sudden hostility: "I plan to take Hu Hai with me on this parade." It's an explanation, "Even if I am, I can't guarantee that everyone in the court will be inclined. Yu Fusu, let alone others—what if Yanbei is attracted by greater interests?"

He couldn't help asking himself this way: "I believe in you, and you are willing to believe in me, but in the eyes of others?" He turned his gaze back and looked directly at Bai Shu without fear, "Even Li Si can Because of the enfeoffment and change of prefectures and counties, I have been alienated from me, and even Wang Jian will start to shrink back because I have changed from King Qin to Emperor Qin."

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng put on a wry smile: "They are all like this, so what about others? Will they be hostile to Fusu because of your bias? Will they be unwilling to surrender to Fusu just because you are still alive?" I?"

He nakedly revealed his thoughts in front of Bai Shu: "In the past, you taught me that only benefits can move people's hearts. But now, I tell you that only the world is the only thing that I can't use. Make a bet."

It's not about trust, nor about friendship, it's just because the world is more important than anyone else.

"Bai Shu, I want this world to be Fusu's."

The word "tianxia" naturally also includes Yanbei.

"Even if he is the reason why I can treat you so righteously now?" Intellectually speaking, Bai Shu would be happy because of Ying Zheng's actions, but emotionally speaking, it would be a stab in the heart and lungs, "Even if you know What does Yanbei mean to me?"

"Can't Qin Palace be your home?"

"Qin Palace is yours, not mine!"

It was silence, Bai Shu avoided Ying Zheng's sight, and the negotiation seemed to have reached an impasse at this moment.

What broke the deadlock was the cautious voice of the guard outside the door: "Your Majesty?"

Ying Zheng looked at his best friend with an embarrassed face, even though he knew that no matter how dissatisfied and resisted the other party was at the moment, the answer he could get in the end must be the only one, but he still wanted to express himself for his bad expression, and for the original happy to bad mood. Annoyed at himself because of the atmosphere: "Say!"

"There was news from outside the palace that Mrs. Xu had gone to bed in Yanbei half a month ago."

Bai Shu and Ying Zheng turned their heads to look at each other almost at the same time. The previous dissatisfaction and hostility all turned into flying smoke in the few words of the guard outside the door and were blown away by the wind.

"The messenger said that before Mrs. Xu died, she asked him to bring back the two most proud children in his life." As if it was not enough, "It was produced in the same furnace and given to His Majesty and Lord Yanbei."

The author has something to say: Brother Zheng actually started his southern tour very early, probably five times. Of course, the most famous one must be the last one.

Brother Zheng and Bai Shu have different standpoints, it's not because they disagree or want to seize power.

Brother Zheng knew that Yanbei was home to Bai Shu, and he felt that he could also give Bai Shu a home, so he explained it bluntly.If he really wanted to seize power, then he wouldn't have made it so clear and clear to Bai Shu.And taking advantage of speaking in private, in fact, it is more about discussing how to strengthen Fusu's control in Yanbei.

As for Bai Shu, Yanbei is more of a memory for him, or a memory shared by him and the system. Ying Zheng doesn't know about this, so he can't vent his anger on him.Yanbei is also his trump card to be unscrupulous in front of Ying Zheng, but if it is to help Su, Yanbei is actually not that important.Bai Shu was annoyed because Ying Zheng forced him to make a decision at this time, because Fu Su stayed in Xianyang and Ying Zheng was out on patrol. Both of them were targets, and Bai Shu didn't want to give up on anyone, but Brother Zheng was here now. Force him to speak out.
