Hu Hai

The crown prince is the same as His Majesty, so it is not easy to be fooled! ——by Manchao Wenwu

Facing Fusu Mingming's eyes full of smiles but making people's legs tremble and want to kneel down, none of the more than 600 officials present dared to raise their heads to look at him again, and bowed their heads respectfully.

Li Si and Wei Liao exchanged glances, and felt relieved at the same time.

With Wei Liao's physical condition, he has already obtained the special permission from Yingzheng. He doesn't have to come to the court to suffer the punishment. He usually goes directly to the big study to discuss with courtiers who can really make up his mind. Today is precisely for the sake of Just in case the young prince couldn't hold back the occasion where he deliberately came to find trouble, he appeared here in person.

However, Wei Liao never considered that the crown prince had just suppressed the courtiers' resistance to the prefecture and county system, and in a blink of an eye, he would put such a major issue as road construction in front of him.

According to His Majesty and his important ministers' assumptions, since the world has been settled, it is natural to treat the scholars gently and subtly to win over the hearts of the scholars in the world. Therefore, first of all, the emperor's supremacy and unified writing should be emphasized by the courtiers, and then taken into the hands of the common people. Secret weapons.

Although road construction is also an important matter, since the Six Kingdoms are dead, there is no need to be so anxious about this matter, and it can be dealt with later.

However, the crown prince's way of thinking is obviously different from that of His Majesty. After reading the "Ten Strategies for Governing the Country" written by Li Si, he puts road construction at the top of his list, and regards it as the first thing he has to do to establish his prestige in supervising the country and handling government affairs—— Don't mention the "enfeoffment system" or the "county system" at this time, His Majesty has already thought about the county system in his heart, no matter how fierce the students in the court who only argue for good and bad argue, it is just to beat them hard Face, I think His Majesty's choice is correct.

Wei Liao thought about it for a while, and he already had an idea in his mind. His behavior was still unrestrained, and before the courtiers realized the decision to help Su, he asked with doubts on his face, "Old minister, what is the prince's intention in building roads? "

Fusu regarded building roads as a more important matter than sorting out words, and put it at the top of the list, so he was naturally prepared to be questioned by courtiers.

Hearing Wei Liao's question, Fusu said without hesitation: "Everyone knows that the counties and counties are not stable. This is one of the most important points for Fusu; General Meng Tian is stationed in the northwest, and General Wang Jian leads the army to garrison. The southeast needs to transport grain and grass for a long time. You must be aware of this, but the road is difficult, with frequent twists and turns. I am afraid that not many people know how much grain and grass are consumed on the road—but does any official know this? thing?"

Wang Wan had already understood the meaning of Fusu's words, and stood there smiling without saying a word. Behind him, a small official belonging to the Prime Minister's Mansion took a step forward quietly, and before he could speak, he retreated back to his original place with regret, and fell silent. After a while, seeing that there was no answer from the court, he finally came out with a face full of remorse, and said in a tense voice, "Prince Qi, almost all the food and grass transported to the two military camps have been spent on the road." bingo."

He couldn't help but wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said pitifully, "The heavens can prove that the officials sent never devoured food and grass on the way!"

Fusu raised his hand and made a soothing gesture, and said gently: "Get up, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion has worked hard, and I have no intention of punishing you. I just hope that the officials in the court can know how much grain and grass are in my Daqin granary. It can be finally sent to the military camp to supply the soldiers on the frontier."

The clerk of the Prime Minister's Mansion heard that Fusu didn't mean to blame, so he got up excitedly, but when Fusu mentioned the specific figure of the loss on the road again, he couldn't help but lose his face, and whispered: "Back to the prince, Baizhong None of them made it to the border."

As soon as the scribe's words fell, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, except the officials in charge of the matter in the prime minister's mansion, were frightened by the figures he confessed.

Fusu sighed helplessly, and when he spoke again, his tone of voice dropped a lot, reflecting the slow depression: "It is not easy for the people to harvest. The Great Qin has been fighting for ten years, and the consumption is far beyond imagination. Fusu was young at the beginning. , incapable of solving problems for the father, now that he has grown up, he only hopes to be able to do things for one day and keep them for thousands of years--the matter of cultivating the Tao is imperative."

After this matter is settled, today's grand court will come to an end. Fusu took a deep look at the four Chengding's younger brothers, left a smile full of encouragement, and took the confidants left behind by Yingzheng to the big study to discuss cultivation. details.

As soon as he sat down, the servant Liang immediately held a lacquer box and explained softly in Fusu's ear: "This is sent back by Mr. Hu Hai."

Before the lacquer box fell into Fusu's palm, a gentle smile had already bloomed on the corner of his lips, instantly melting away the bleakness of late autumn.

Fusu gently opened the lacquer box with both hands, and there was a neat roll of brocade silk in the box, and under the brocade silk was a half-red and half-green maple leaf. It is full of reading experience and experience, but the writing at the end cannot be continued - when Hu Hai wrote these lines, he was obviously hesitant.

... "The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost"?

The smile in Fusu's eyes deepened, and he silently said "the so-called Iraqi people are on the side of the water".

It has been more than a month since Hu Hai left with his father. If he personally picked this maple leaf and sent someone to send it back to Xianyang Palace during the "Bailu" season, then there was a big river between him and himself at that time?It really complied with the phrase "on the water side".

Just "Yi Ren"?

The smile on the corner of Fusu's mouth froze, his sword eyebrows were raised high, the expression on his face changed into a restrained smile that was not a smile, and he said in his heart: Hu Hai is not very old, but his ability to flirt seems to be inborn. amazing.

I have been taken advantage of by him, how can I let Hu Hai take the lead?

Fu Su thought for a while, flipped through the brocade, wrote eight characters on it, took out the red leaves, put the usual paperweight into the lacquer box, gave the servant Liang a wink, and ordered: "Send it back to Hu Hai."

Before Fusu finished speaking, footsteps could be heard outside the study. When he raised his eyes, Li Si's thin figure appeared in his field of vision.

Li Si cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Prince."

Li Si has always been a man of action. Although Fu Su's choice is different from his focus, he did not escape Li Si's "Ten Strategies for Governing the Country". Now that the matter of road construction is proposed, who should be appointed, has the prince made a decision in his mind?"

Fusu nodded, not hiding anything from Li Si: "If you talk about the water and soil in the world, no one can surpass Zheng Guo, and Fusu will not be the second person."

As he was talking, the white-haired but burly Zheng Guo appeared outside the door with a big smile, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Thanks to the prince for not giving up, I will try my best. When I come back today, I need to repair it first." The route has been surveyed!"

Before Zheng Guo finished speaking, his eyes had already fallen on the hot soup in front of Fusu. He walked up to Fusu with a few steps, and picked up the bowl with a big smile: "Thank you for the reward, the prince, the food made on the road is really inedible— — No matter how much this old man likes grilled fresh meat, he can’t eat it for ten days and half a month! I really feel that my whole body is not smelly!”

"Uncle has really good eyesight. I can see that these are all prepared for you." Fusu agreed with a smile, and soon discussed the chores of road construction with Zheng Guoshang who was talking while eating, but he couldn't help but share. With a little mind, I imagined what Hu Hai would look like when he received his reply.
