Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 435 The grandson’s discussion!

Zhang Cang spoke, and the noisy Fan Kuai and others understood the situation and stopped.

Zhang Cang began to recount to Xiao He, Chen Ping, Cao Shen and others what happened after Zhao Si entered the palace.

From life experience, to recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan, to being crowned king, as well as some details of the relationship that Zhang Cang specifically asked about, all the way to Zhao Si's return from the palace.

"What do you see now?" Zhang Cang looked at the crowd and asked.

"My lord is the son of the eldest son!" Fan Kuai started to answer.

Everyone glanced at Fan Kuai but did not speak. Xiao He pondered for a while and then said, "Your Majesty, you love the Lord very much?"

"The title of king is an exception. Logically speaking, when the lord makes the king, the eldest son and crown prince should also be determined. Now it seems that what your majesty did is not to consolidate the foundation of the eldest son... Could it be that..." Chen Ping looked at Zhang Cang and asked with uncertainty on his face.

This is the difference between Chen Ping and Xiao He.

It's not that there is a huge gap in talent between Xiao He and Chen Ping.

Xiao He was just a county official before. Even though he was extremely talented, he still had no access to some of the logic and hidden rules at the top.

But Chen Ping is different...

Although his family is poor, he and Zhang Cang are fellow villagers. At the same time, he hooked up with the young widow of the Zhang family, and they often talked about the court, so Chen Ping's thinking mode became clearer and more mature.

"This is exactly what I want to say..." Zhang Cang said.

"My lord has said that there has been a lot of discussion among the ministers about establishing a crown prince, but this kind of thing is foreseeable. After all, your majesty has always been close to the lord, and suddenly he learned that he is a descendant. No matter what the reason is, it is appropriate to appoint the eldest son as the crown prince. , this is the right time to make a statement and establish the crown prince. If I were a minister, I would do the same." Zhang Cang said.

"Logically speaking, Your Majesty made an exception and made the king a king, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the reputation of the young master, and it is appropriate to decide on the prince. In fact, the reason why all the ministers are attracted to the eldest son is that on the one hand, the eldest son is kind-hearted and courageous. On the other hand, the portrait of the prince is also because, although the eldest son was relegated to Longxi, almost all affairs in the border counties can be determined by themselves, while the other princes can only live in Xianyang without real power..." Zhang Cang said.

"So it's strange that Your Majesty granted the title of king to my lord but did not establish a heir apparent..."

"What's so strange about this? You love your young son and love your eldest grandson. Isn't that the case in the countryside?" Fan Kuai scratched his head.

"You guy...don't talk nonsense if you don't understand..." Zhou Bo frowned and interrupted Fan Kuai.

"Actually, what Fan Kuai said is not unreasonable. In terms of age, my lord is indeed your majesty's eldest grandson. What I want to say, sir, is...my lord is loved by your majesty and was trained by your majesty. It seems that there is a sense of inheritance?" Xiao He Asked.

Xiao He is also a smart man. Once Zhang Cang points it out, he will naturally understand.

"But shouldn't your Majesty appoint the crown prince at this time?" Cao Shen frowned.

"So what I am going to say is another guess..." Zhang Cang said.

"Before settling on the crown prince, your majesty may want to settle on the grandson first." Zhang Cang said in a deep voice.

"Huh? Sir, what you are saying is that my lord can not only be crowned a king, but also become an emperor? Then I can become a Taiwei?" Fan Kuai was overjoyed.

"Then you have to boil Han Xin to death first." Cao Shen spat.

"That's not right... According to what Mr. said, they are both princes and grandsons, so what's the difference? In the end, don't these monarchs and ministers all want to make the eldest son the heir apparent and the lord the grandson?" Wang Ling asked.

"No, you are wrong. It is true that I want the eldest son to be the prince, but it is not necessary for the lord to be the grandson. Even if the monarch and ministers have the same purpose, the order is still very important. For your majesty, he may be able to control the prince. Who is it? But after His Majesty's great success, the biggest one is the prince, and the prince can control who is the next prince. As a king, even things agreed can be changed, but for Legalists, laws can restrict The prince cannot restrain the king. The law serves the emperor alone." Chen Ping smiled and shook his head.

Zhang Cang loved the laws of Qin, so he told Chen Ping many stories about Legalism, and Chen Ping knew it well.

"So this is the only way to guess that it is more reasonable for Your Majesty to make the king but not to establish a heir. The reason why I avoid the lord and come to talk to you about these things is not because I want to hide something from the lord.

The lord is innocent at heart, and he is serving the king. He makes wild guesses and thinks that his majesty loves him, and does extraordinary things. This may not be a good thing for the lord, and it may easily make his majesty dissatisfied.

As ministers, we have to know these things. Otherwise, once the lord is trapped in a whirlpool and has no help, it will be our dereliction of duty as ministers. "Zhang Cang said seriously.

"So the matter of establishing a crown prince did not start after the new king succeeded to the throne, but has already started now." Chen Ping also nodded when he heard this.

"Your Majesty may have had some calculations in his mind, otherwise he would not have made an exception to grant the title of king to my lord. Therefore, we should make preparations in advance after we rush to Zhao."

Xiao He, Cao Shen, Chen Ping and others looked at each other. They felt indescribable excitement in their hearts. They nodded to each other. They all knew that they were not just following Zhao Si to become the king and becoming famous. They also had more important things to do. .

"Your Majesty's gaze... is indeed far-reaching!" Xiao He said with a little emotion.

"Sir, you have served as a royal censor before. I am afraid that at that time, Your Majesty had already noticed you. If not for Your Majesty's careful calculations after my lord became the king, I am afraid that we would not be the only ones who went to Zhao to take up their posts." Chen Ping also smiled and spoke.

"It's not just me, I'm afraid your Majesty has also noticed the lord's retainers... I was planning to ask the lord to ask your majesty to let Xiao He and Cao Shen go to the county, but now it seems that I didn't care enough. Long term." Zhang Cang shook his head.

"If it were difficult for the monarchs to manage the country and carry out such a big task, Your Majesty would have to replace it with someone else."

Zhang Cang was a minister of the First Emperor before he became Zhao Si's disciple, but at that time Zhang Cang felt that there was no hope for Qin to run away because of this.

The First Emperor knew Zhang Cang's talent a long time ago.

The First Emperor believed that with Zhang Cang's ability, he would be able to see the deeper meaning of his actions.

In fact, Zhang Cang did not live up to the trust of the First Emperor.

Even after a long time, the monarch and his ministers still have a tacit understanding.

On the contrary, Zhao Si was forced to become a Mongolian again.

This time, it won’t work!

As far as the First Emperor was concerned, it was too early for Zhao Si to be exposed to these things. He had no experience in getting along with Fusu and had no feelings for Fusu. He was ambitious and it was inevitable that there would be a premature gap between father and son.

As for Zhang Cang and others, they are also afraid that Zhao Si's too early contact will lead to a change in the starting point of their actions, and thus their appearance will change due to ambition.

"In this way, if the country is sealed as Zhao, Your Majesty will not interfere too much. Not only that, Your Majesty will also take action if there is any interference in the court. In this case, it will be easier for us to manage this land of Zhao!" Xiao He A smile appeared on his face.

What the First Emperor wanted to do now seemed clear.

Being crowned king in advance means that Zhao Si will have a country as his base.

It is obvious that there is still some time before the First Emperor passes away. This period of time is enough for a group of top talents like Zhang Cang and Xiao He to run the entire Zhao Kingdom into Zhao Si's absolute trump card.

When the First Emperor passes away, a new king will take over!

At that time, even if Fusu wanted to change the throne to a crown prince, he would have to consider whether he had the ability to make a bigger Zhao country support his decision.

To put it bluntly, the First Emperor did not trust anyone but himself.

But it was impossible for him to interfere in matters after his death, so after careful consideration, the First Emperor decided to give Zhao Si a trump card.

Accordingly, the burden on Xiao He and others became heavier.

What they want to do is to interfere in the iteration of the world's princes in one country when the situation is at its worst.

"Gentlemen, you don't have to worry too much... Considering the eldest son as a person, if the crown prince is decided before your majesty's lifetime, the eldest son will probably not waste his father's life. The so-called precautions are nothing more than for a young man. Besides, in addition to conferring the king on Zhao , Your Majesty must have other considerations... We, this is just one part of it..." Zhang Cang shook his head.

What was he thinking? With his understanding of the First Emperor, how could the First Emperor put his hopes on a project?

They are just a last resort... to deal with the worst case scenario.

"It's just that after we leave Xianyang, there will probably not be anyone so loyal to my lord..." Zhou Bo shook his head.

"No need to mind... In addition to Your Majesty, there is also my senior brother in the court... Besides, besides my senior brother, there is also a lieutenant, right?" A happy smile appeared on Zhang's pale and plump face. His dear and respectable senior brother...

Who will you support?

Why don't senior fellow apprentices, who are keen on power, not participate in establishing the heir apparent?

That is impossible.

He is just too smart, so he knows that participating in the establishment of the throne, except for Fusu, is a failure option.

what about now?

The First Emperor wanted the Qin Dynasty to be a lineage for eternity, and to be his ministers, could it be that what he wanted was only wealth and honor for one life?

Senior brother has a son...

A Shangcai Buyi, who has become the most powerful person in the world today, has become the ultimate minister. Isn't Senior Brother worried about the revenge and liquidation after his death?

There are always a lot of people looking forward to the death of senior brother!

Zhang Cang spoke, and everyone felt a little calmer. The smart people already knew what they were going to do, while the stupid ones were still thinking deeply.

Even Fan Kuai frowned and thought in a serious manner, so that Xiao He rarely showed some relief in his eyes.

Well, it seems that even Fan Kuai, a fool, knows the seriousness of the matter.

Going to Zhao Land is not just to enjoy wealth and wealth.

If you want to run Nuoda Zhao Land into Zhao Si's absolute base, there will be no shortage of things that need to be done.

"How? Do you understand now?" Cao Shen patted Fan Kuai on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"I still feel strange..." Fan Kuai shook his head.

"Why is it weird?"

"The prince and grandson, who comes first and who comes last, are all members of the same family. Why do you talk so seriously about these things? Your Majesty, will you really argue about this matter?" Fan Kuai was still surprised.

"It's not my fault that you can't figure it out. Go out and play by yourself..." Cao Shen patted Fan Kuai's shoulder meaningfully.

"Who do you look down on?" Fan Kuai raised his eyebrows and grabbed Cao Shen's collar.

"I admit it when Xiao He says I'm not smart. You only know how to follow Xiao He. What do you do when Xiao He says? Why do you say that to me?"

"Okay, okay..." Xiao He grabbed Fan Kuai.

"This is not a dispute..."

"Sequence is not important. What is important is whether we have a grandson because of the prince, or we have a grandson because of the grandson. Do you understand this?" Xiao He smiled and patted Fan Kuai's hand. Chest.

"I understand, but I don't seem to understand." Fan Kuai answered honestly.

"I guess I understand..." Xiao He took a breath and finally smiled helplessly.

"Okay, now that we all know what we are going to do next, I'm afraid we will have to leave Xianyang soon. Everyone should prepare themselves. Pack your luggage in advance and prepare to rush to Zhaodi. I'm afraid we will have to leave Xianyang in a while. It's snowing, so remember to bring your winter clothes and bedding." Zhang Cang smiled.

When everyone heard the sound, they dispersed again.

And on the other side...

Zhao Si finally released himself fiercely.

After the matter was over, Zhao Si leaned on the bed, looked at Yu Ji who seemed to be worried in his arms, and asked, "How come I'm back and you're so worried?"

"Since I married my husband... I haven't had any children... and now, I still have nothing to show for it. My parents at home are always urging me, and I am also anxious..." Yu Ji spoke softly.

Women in this era have only the same things on their minds.

One is the fear that one will grow old easily in one's youth, and the other is the fear that one will have no one to rely on in old age.

Although the Yu family is not a small family, the current situation is different from the past, and it is somewhat higher than Zhao Si.

Besides, after following Zhao Si for so long, there has been no movement.

Zhao Si was a strong man, his fields were almost destroyed, and his cows were not tired, but there was no movement. Yu Ji naturally thought it was her own problem.

"What you're saying is that you can't bear the child if you're in a hurry..." Zhao Si spread his hands.

To be honest, Zhao Si was a little confused.

A lot of land has been cultivated so far, but it is strange that none has been planted.

Zhao Si has a little self-doubt...

There must be no problem with the function, but is it reproductive isolation?

Or is it because he is a time traveler?

Of course, although he was a little doubtful, Zhao Si couldn't empathize with Yu Ji's feelings because men and women were different.

When he said it so casually, Yu Ji felt even more uncomfortable. She whispered a few more words, and tears rolled down Zhao Si's arms...

"Oh...I haven't cried yet..." Zhao Si scratched his head.

"A child..."

Saying this, Yu Ji cried even more vigorously...

For a while, I couldn't stop crying. I cried until I retched several times.
