Hu Hai

Fusu suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and patiently sent the doctoral officers away one by one, then got up and asked the servant Liang who was standing by the side: "Where did Hu Hai go?"

"Mr. Hu Hai went to the bedroom alone to find the king." The first thing to do in today's court meeting is to announce the appointment of the crown prince. With a decree, the servant Liang's attitude towards Fusu became more respectful and cautious. Know the news to speak.

Fusu was disturbed all the time, impatiently walked towards the sleeping hall.

"Prince, please stay." An old but solemn voice sounded from behind Fusu, and then someone came slowly shuffling in front of him, blocking Fusu's way.

Fu Su's eyes fell on the visitor, he stopped involuntarily, cupped his hands and said with a light smile, "Prime Minister."

Wang Wan also politely returned the salute to Fusu, and then she bowed her hands seriously and said: "The old minister has something to explain to the prince in detail. I wonder if the prince can spare a little time for the old minister?"

Fu Su frowned, but until the old prime minister was always cautious, if it wasn't for something serious, he would never disturb him right after the court meeting, so he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, smiled and stretched out his hand, and said: "Prime Minister, please, If the prime minister is busy, Fusu will be free."

"Thank you, Mr. Eldest, for your compassion." Wang Wan said politely, walking in front of Fusu for the first time, took the initiative to bring him into the study, lifted his hem and kowtowed, "The old minister's opinion is like the doctor's officer in the doctor's palace, please stand up." The feudal lords, take the pleasure of recuperating and reviving the whole people."

A pimple appeared between Fusu's brows instantly, but he still maintained a gentle tone and asked carefully: "Why did the Prime Minister have such an idea? Why didn't Fusu see the Prime Minister talk about it when discussing in the big study?"

Wang Wan said in a flat tone, "The King of Shang believed in the "Book of Shang Jun" most in his life, but Wang Wan was chosen by Lu Buwei. Although the old minister has been diligent, in the final analysis, he and the king have always had political disagreements."

When Fu Su heard this, he immediately said: "The prime minister should know that the father has been with the prime minister and his ministers for more than ten years, and he never intends to dispose of the prime minister."

Wang Wan smiled, waved her hand and said, "The crown prince misunderstood the old minister's meaning. The king attaches great importance to the old minister, and the veteran understands it in his heart, but a disagreement in politics is a disagreement in politics."

He interrupted Fusu, who was trying to speak, and said with a serious look: "In the past ten years, Your Majesty has conquered Kyushu completely. I don't know anything about military affairs. Naturally, the new strategy is only for military equipment, so there is no chance of disagreeing with Your Majesty. But now the world is dead. Definitely, old man... Hey, to tell you the truth, the old man feels that he is becoming more and more unable to keep up with the king's thoughts-don't deny this, if it weren't for this, the king would not rely more and more on the Tingwei Mansion in government affairs, and gradually lose his body. Shelved for the Prime Minister's Mansion at the Great Qin Hub."

After finishing speaking, Wang Wan sighed, looking lonely.

Fusu understands the reason - Li Si and Wei Liao can be called the most outstanding advisers in the world, their talents and talents are far superior to others, and they agree with their father in various government affairs, let him handle them When it comes to government affairs, the monarch and ministers want to make peace and have a tacit understanding; when it comes to Wang Wan, although he has the qualifications of "diligent and stable" and a veteran of the four dynasties, his style of accident is aphasia, cautious and conservative.

With his father's pioneering spirit, it is okay to let him take charge of Qin's domestic affairs. If it is about expanding the territory and reforming the New Deal, he would never think of communicating with Wang Wan; Mentioning this matter, the longer the thought, the more difficult it is for the monarch and his ministers to speak to each other, and they naturally became unfamiliar. Therefore, the father and king sat in the big study to discuss politics, and Wang Wan, who was the prime minister, even said a word of disapproval It's not easy to mention the situation.

What's more, after the world is established, the majesty of the father is getting stronger and stronger. Only when facing himself and Hu Hai will he deliberately restrain his aura. Even if Wang Wan has rich experience in the court, I am afraid that he does not have the courage to challenge the authority of the father— —A cautious person always becomes more conservative the older he gets.

Fusu sensed Wang Wan's resentment in her disappointment, so she pulled Wang Wan to sit on the ground, with a very casual posture, and said empathetically, "Father used to come up with strange strategies in order to conquer the world, but Yu Ji In the matter of Kyushu, the father is also No. 1 since the beginning of the world. He naturally does not want to follow the old path of the predecessors - even if the father relies heavily on the Tingwei Mansion and the Guowei Mansion, he has never made these two places the core of the overall planning of the Great Qin Dynasty. It’s just that there is a lot of reliance on the New Deal. The prime minister really doesn’t have to worry about it.”

Although Fusu's words are nice, but they don't really have a single word. Naturally, a seasoned official like Wang Wan will not forget everything when he gets excited. He sharply raised his own question and said: "Then, in the opinion of the crown prince, the king will implement entrustment in the future. Is it the county system or the county system?"

The smile on Fusu's face was the same as always, and he said without any flaws: "Fusu is very willing to let the younger brothers go out to experience a little bit."

Of course, it is "experience" and not enfeoffment.

Wang Wan also understood the meaning of Fusu's words. Looking at the eldest son who had just become a prince, he couldn't help sighing, and said in a low voice, "The prince is also like a king."

This time, Fusu did not conceal his meaning. He held Wang Wan's palm seriously, and his tone was calm and flat, but full of confidence: "The prime minister is optimistic about enfeoffing the princes because the territory of the Great Qin is getting wider and wider. The emperor alone cannot If we deal with it all, I am afraid that some county affairs will have to be put on hold, which will cause domestic instability. After the feudal vassals are divided, the vassals will govern the local area for generations, which can completely appease the hearts of the people. But Fusu asked a question, and the prime minister couldn’t answer it——The princes for generations For the princes, if the princes have no talent, no virtue, no ability, and refuse to obey the rules, what should the emperor do at that time? Attacking the princes will cause another war, and the world will never have peace; if you swallow your anger, you will follow in the footsteps of the emperor last week. "

Wang Wan was momentarily speechless by Fusu's words, unable to say anything to his eyes full of confidence.

After a long time, Wang Wan finally shook his head and sighed: "The crown prince has already pointed out all the shortcomings of the enfeoffment system. Wang Wan is powerless to refute the crown prince, but the crown prince needs to know that the Tian family is on behalf of the Qi. It's up to me."

Fu Su couldn't stop laughing and replied: "If the Son of Heaven is in danger, the only one who is in danger is himself. It's better than the common people in the world suffer together."

Speaking of this, Wang Wan was unable to argue with Fusu. For two successive generations—if there are no accidents and the crown prince succeeds to the throne—the king’s thoughts are so different from his own. Maybe it’s time for him to leave the court. .

Wang Wan touched her snow-white temples, and the worry on her face faded away, leaving only a calm and free-spirited smile, and said with a smile: "Since the crown prince and the king have the same views, then the old man is thinking too much——Prince please allow the old minister Resign and let the virtuous. The old man is old, and his political views can no longer keep up with the king and the crown prince. Sitting in the position of prime minister will only lead to chaos in the Qin Dynasty and affect the position and authority of the prime minister."

Fusu was startled, he didn't expect that Wang Wan, who died in the position of prime minister, would suddenly make such a request, and he couldn't react for a while, watching Wang Wan unable to speak for a long time.

Wang Wan was amused by Fusu's rare young and unsteady appearance. He stroked his snow-white beard and said softly: "You don't have to worry, the prince. The old man has a closer relationship with the doctoral officers and bachelors in the doctoral palace. , I will explain it to them and prevent them from screwing up."

Fu Su kowtowed to him sincerely, and thanked him: "I'm sorry to bother you, Prime Minister."

Wang Wan waved her hand indifferently, and said with a good temper: "The old minister has experienced the four generations of kings in the Great Qin Dynasty, and he can see what extravagance there is for Qin to rule the world. Let the virtuous, it is better to take advantage of the activities, go home to feed the grandchildren, and take care of the rest of the world."

"Resignation, veteran." Wang Wan bowed back to Fusu, got up and left.

Fu Su looked at Wang Wan's back and thought: In his previous life, Prime Minister Wang Wan and his father had more and more political disagreements. If it wasn't for his advanced age and his father's gratitude for the old relationship he has always supported, I am afraid that Wang Wan's ending will be different. It was even more bleak than dying in the prime minister's position, and it might be a blessing to have the current result.

Fusu was silent for a while, disturbed by the unsteady intuition in his heart again, he raised his hand and squeezed his swollen forehead and said to himself: "Let's go to the bedroom as soon as possible, I don't know if Hu Hai has caused some trouble."

But before Fusu entered the door, he realized that his father, who became more irritable as he got older, greeted the palace people to pack their luggage when they came in and out. Days, why did you suddenly make preparations to travel?"

Ying Zheng pulled him onto the couch with a smile, pointed at the palace people coming in and out, and said with great interest: "It just so happened that Hu Hai mentioned going out for fun. I'm just resting anyway. It's good to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. It just so happens that General Wang Jian has a memorial to send Entering the court means that he is not sure how to deal with Chu, so I will stop by to have a look, so that I can see the customs and folk customs of Chu that are completely different from ours in Qin."

If Fusu was originally puzzled by Yingzheng's instructions to the palace staff to tidy up, it has now turned into worry about his father who is still in pain and insists on going out.

He will never forget that his father died during a parade!

"Father, isn't your injury still recovering? Why are you in such a hurry? Stay in Xianyang Palace for a while, and leave after recovering." Fusu's worried eyes fell on Yingzheng. , Seeing him was a little embarrassed.

Yingzheng turned his gaze, and immediately saw Hu Hai who was full of approval for Fusu's proposal. He suddenly felt dissatisfied, and directly pulled the youngest son to him, and said proudly: "There is also Hu Hai who is walking with me—Xia Wu And you will go with a few Xinglin sages, you don't have to worry, just take care of the government affairs by yourself, those difficult Confucian scholars will be handed over to you."

Yingzheng has never been a person who can rest easy. When he had the ambition to conquer Kyushu, he dared to do it if he dared to think about it; now he feels that the days of vacation are comfortable, and his playfulness instantly overwhelms his worries about handling state affairs when he is young.

Hearing this, Fu Su raised his eyebrows and met Hu Hai's eyes. Hu Hai wrinkled his face, nodded pitifully, and called softly, "Brother, we won't see each other for a long time."

...So it turned out that this was his bad premonition, and Wang Wan's retirement was just an appetizer!
