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

Chapter 445: Your Majesty, really don’t you think about the good saint grandson?

The snow gradually became lighter and stopped, but the wind was still noisy.

In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually dimmed.

The more you drink, the more emotions you will inevitably have.

Zhao Si could still remember how the group of retainers were kidnapped in front of him. In ancient times, the world was far apart. He knew that once we were separated, we might not be able to see each other for a long time. However, since they were kidnapped, they almost lived in the same place. Zhao Si could not help it. There is also some sentimentality.

Zhao Si was sad, and the others more or less showed their true feelings.

Xiao He, Chen Ping, Cao Shen and others were also silent...

Fan Kuai drank heavily, got dressed up, and insisted on bidding farewell to Zhao Si...

The dance wasn't very good, but it made everyone present laugh.

"It's getting late..." Zhao Si glanced at the sky that was completely darkened. The ministers around him had already turned on their lamps, and the lights on the pavilion seemed to flicker on and off.

"Gentlemen... go and have a rest. Tomorrow, I will see you off." Zhao Si sighed and spoke.

At present, almost all of this group of disciples started from humble beginnings. They were valued by Zhao Si before they became what they are today. In the blink of an eye, they will become the ministers of a country and dominate the affairs of the country. And these are all based on Zhao Si, how can they not hurt them? Pregnant? They all bid farewell to Zhao Si with emotions.

Oh, Han Sheng is an exception.

He is a new member, and he will not follow Zhang Cang and others to the Kingdom of Zhao.

He had just arrived, so naturally he couldn't empathize with it. In fact, he was quite optimistic in his heart.

The lord values ​​love and righteousness, is able to control the division of flesh, and can trust his subordinates. And the most important thing is that this group of retainers who are most relied on by Zhao Si are leaving.

Hey, he's the only one left...

Although Han Sheng also coveted the power of the feudal state, it was obvious that there would be no shortage of opportunities to stay with Zhao Si, a son who was very close to the First Emperor.

Everyone left, except Zhang Cang, who stood silently and silently.

Zhao Si knew that Zhang Cang still had something to say to him, so he just pointed at the case and said, "Sir, please sit down."

Zhang Cang and Zhao Si sat opposite each other.

Zhang Cang, who always had a smile on his fair and fat face, now looked heavy.

"Sir is about to leave me. Is there anything else you want to teach me before leaving?" Zhao Si asked.

After hearing this, Zhang Cang pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty has always been diligent in government affairs. All affairs of the country are in your hands. Since your Majesty is close to the young master, the young master should do his best to share the burden for your majesty, so that your majesty will not be troubled by government affairs."

I was really distracted when I said this, and if I really dig into my words, this is actually a bit disrespectful.

Because Zhang Cang was persuading Zhao Si to use the closeness of the First Emperor to gain more access to the king's power.

Zhao Si understood Zhang Cang's good intentions and just nodded and said: "I understand."

"After I left Xianyang, the young master has no one he likes. The new guest, Han Sheng, is talented. If the young master is confused about something, you can ask Han Sheng for his opinion." Zhang Cang looked at Zhao Si and said. .

Having said this, Zhang Cang was inevitably a little worried.

I'm really worried...

As human beings, when we are emotional, we will inevitably think more.

At the moment when the important matter of establishing a crown prince is ahead, Zhang Cang has already guessed the plan of the First Emperor and can even predict the subsequent plot, and Zhao Si is a key part of it...

Sometimes, he was really worried that his innocent lord would be affected by these messy things.

Fortunately... before they left, Zhao Si got another retainer from nowhere.

Although he has a rather impatient personality, he has some abilities. This way, he can feel at ease before leaving.

"Is there anything else?" Zhao Si nodded and asked.

"If the matter is undecided, you can ask Prime Minister Li. In addition, Old General Wang can also help. Since the master has not found a matchmaker to marry, you can privately ask Old General Wang for Wang's daughter." Zhang Cang said thoughtfully.

"Is Wang's daughter..." Zhao Si was silent for a moment.

This was a good choice, but after all, Yu Ji was just pregnant, and Zhao Si's mentality regarding the crown prince had not completely changed, so he just made a note of it in his mind and would talk about it later.

Indeed, at this point, there were some things that Zhao Si had to consider carefully, and could not just rely on the First Emperor alone to arrange them.

"In addition, the battle situation in Longxi has been decided. Han Xin has made great achievements. It will not be long before Xianyang will report victory. After the victory, Han Xin will also return to Xianyang. At that time, the court will reward him and promote him. I hope that the Lord will discuss it with His Majesty in advance. , let Han Xin go to Fengguo and not stay in Xianyang." Zhang Cang continued.

"Do you still need Han Xin to suppress the rebellion?" Zhao Si raised his eyebrows.

"You don't need it for counterinsurgency, you need it for training troops." Zhang Cang smiled.

As an independent vassal state, Zhao State must have its own army.

At the same time, Zhao also needs a talented person who can supervise a country's military.

Fan Kuai? Can only be a general.

As for Zhou Bo and others, they are considered handsome talents.

Only Han Xin is a talented person in governing the country.

Zhang Cang must be responsible for Zhao Si's trust and prepare for the worst case scenario.

Therefore, Han Xin is indispensable.

Of course, this is just one reason.

With Han Xin's character, he has achieved great success this time. In addition, Zhao Si has become the grandson of the emperor and is close to the First Emperor. If the appointment of the crown prince is decided...

Han Xin, staying in Xianyang may be bad.

"I know!" Zhao Si nodded again.

Let Han Xin stay in Zhao and take charge of a country's military? It’s not considered a humiliation.

Now that Zhao Si has become the king, his disciples finally have a place where they can show off their talents, and even to the point where they have to consider whether their abilities are sufficient, it can be said that they have reached the sky in one step.

"Is there anything else?" Zhao Si looked at Zhang Cang who was about to get up and asked.

"My lord can be called a loner from now on..." Zhang Cang said after a moment of silence.

"As a public servant, you cannot live without dignity."

"I... I know." Zhao Si originally wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it, he didn't defend himself anymore. He just nodded and took Zhang Cang's instructions to heart.

"That's it, it'll be all right. I'll leave!" Zhang Cang heard this, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his fair and fat face.

"Sir, I can't wait..." Zhao Si also smiled.

"How can you calm down when all the beautiful women of the country are waiting for me?" Zhang Cang teased himself with a smile.

The two principals and ministers looked at each other and laughed...

"My heart is clear to you, and you can take the reward and blame yourself!" Zhao Si said seriously.

In fact, all of Zhao Si's customers have their own little problems.

Chen Ping is greedy for money, Zhang Cang is lustful, not to mention Han Xin...

However, everyone was cautious in the past. In addition, they were all under Zhao Si's nose, and Zhang Cang was suppressing them. They didn't have much power in their hands, so they didn't reveal it.

Now he has to go to the distant country of Zhao to reach the sky in one step, but he can no longer be as perfect as before.

The reason why Zhao Si asked Zhang Cang to let Zhang Cang seize the reward and blame himself was precisely for these reasons.

He believed that Zhang Cang could handle the difference between personal preferences and national affairs.

But it’s hard to say whether other people, once they ascend to high positions and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, can still keep their true intentions.

Everything depends on Zhang Cang to supervise.     “I... know it!”

Zhang Cang stood up, bowed and saluted, and then retreated after a long time.

Li Chenmen was busy packing things, Zhao Si raised his eyes to look at the sky, waved his hand, and fell asleep under the service of the maid.

The next day...

Zhao Si got up at dawn...

It was decided to be crowned king sooner rather than later, so everyone got up early and prepared to set off.

Everything was prepared in advance. Everyone took their own cars and Zhao Si saw each other off on horseback.

We walked and talked, stopping from time to time.

It wasn't until they left Xianyang City and Zhao Si had traveled more than 20 miles that Zhang Cang stopped Zhao Si with a smile.

"Could it be that my lord plans to send us to Zhao Di personally?"

Zhao Si laughed dumbly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I will never leave you when I say goodbye to you."

"We have to go after all. My lord, please stay here. If we follow this method, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Zhao land next spring."

Because they were walking while talking, the group just left the city in one morning.

Zhao Si smiled and stopped when he heard the sound. Zhang Cang and others got out of the car and saluted Zhao Si one after another.

"Lord, please come back!"

"You guys should leave first..." Zhao Si shook his head.

After Zhang Cang heard this, he stopped persuading and led everyone in the car to continue on their way.

Zhao Si stared at the frame, getting smaller and smaller, until it disappeared above the official road...

"Go back..." Zhao Si sighed, waved his hand, and took the car back.

Inside the carriage, Zhang Cang finally put down his hand to open the curtain.

"I've been watching it all the way. It's rare for Mr. to be so emotional." Chen Ping said with a smile next to Zhang Cang.

They were from the same hometown and had a teacher-student relationship. Moreover, Chen Ping had an affair with the young widow of the Zhang family. The two were extremely close, so they rode in the same car.

"My lord is so innocent at heart, how can I not be as thoughtful as I am for you?" Zhang Cang touched his sparse beard and leaned on the carriage with some emotion.

"Yes, if my lord gives me the right to divide the meat, why would I live or die in return?" Chen Ping teased Zhang Cang with a smile.

"If I give it to you, how many pieces of meat will be left?" Zhang Cang glanced at Chen Ping and rolled his eyes.

Chen Ping chuckled and said nothing more...

Zhao Si's external brain has finally left, but life still has to go on.

For Zhao Si, it is nothing more than having to use his own brain on certain things.

After all, Han Sheng is no better than Zhang Cang, and Zhao Si cannot ask for advice on everything.

As for Zhang Cang's instructions before leaving, Zhao Si also took them to heart. Regarding the marriage, Zhao Si was still a little undecided. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to wait until Yu Ji was born.

After the separation, Zhao Si's short farewell vacation also came to an end.

Zhao Si also returned to a good routine of going to bed early and getting up early. He followed the First Emperor in meetings and approved memorials every day. The routine of his life was terrible.

The newly acquired guest Han Sheng was not taken with Zhao Si, but was left in his mansion in Xianyang.

Although Zhao Si lives in the palace, there are maids, ministers, and some properties in the palace that need people to manage. Han Sheng can just do these things.

As for the official position, he was not in a hurry. Han Sheng himself did not ask for this. Instead, he asked Zhao Si to open his book inventory to him.

Zhao Si readily agreed.

Knowledge in this era is still too precious. Han Sheng also comes from a poor background. Even though he has great ideas and outstanding talents, he cannot make up for the shortcomings of insufficient educational resources.

No matter how good your understanding is, you must first have the skills, right?

Of course, there are exceptions to the kind of genius who can create the foundation of a great road by just relying on his imagination...

In short, while Han Sheng was working part-time as the personnel manager of Zhao Si's mansion, he plunged into the ocean of knowledge.

At the same time, he also helped Zhao Si handle some social matters.

Zhao Si continued to receive imperial education from the First Emperor in the palace.

This thing is not as high-end as Zhao Si thought. If Zhao Si were to evaluate it, it could only be described as boring.

Now Zhao Si's expectations for the day are limited to memorials of impeachment and mutual criticism...

Impeachment and criticism are common in any dynasty. This is Zhao Si's source of happiness.

After all, there will always be some explosive news during impeachment, especially memorials criticizing the other party's private life, which is Zhao Si's favorite.

There are also people who want to impeach political opponents and pick up the ashes... I don’t know if it’s true or not.

The memorials in recent times are still dominated by rebellions all over the world.

The memorial on the matter of supporting Su and establishing the crown prince had been suspended for a period of time due to the strong refusal of the First Emperor.

But just for a while...

Only two days had passed, and after Zhao Si was crowned king, the number of memorials regarding the appointment of a crown prince had gradually begun to increase.

It can be seen that many people can't wait.

But objectively speaking, there is nothing to comment on, and it cannot be said to be forcing the First Emperor.

The First Emperor was over fifty years old, so he should be appointed a heir apparent based on both sentiment and reason.

"The country will be unstable without reserves, and the people will be uneasy without rulers... The eldest son... the younger son..."

Zhao Si finished reading a memorial about the establishment of the crown prince with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

As for why I'm embarrassed...

Probably because of this memorial, I boasted too much.

Faced with the memorial to persuade the emperor to establish a throne, the First Emperor still chose to remain silent.

The so-called "detention without publication" means neither open discussion nor reply. Memorials involving the appointment of the crown prince are like nothing in the sea.

But it happened that things had reached this point, Zhao Si had already been crowned king, and the First Emperor was getting older. For various reasons, the public sentiment became even more vociferous.

Fortunately, it was the First Emperor who was able to suppress and stabilize him.

The ministers cannot play hardball with the emperor, otherwise they will naturally achieve their goals in roundabout ways.

It is indeed a fact that the First Emperor did not like Fusu.

However, the First Emperor publicly stated his love for Zhao Si many times.

After all, the sentence "Si Nai is the eldest grandson" was spoken in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. I love it very much.

This is almost equivalent to a political signal. We are all old foxes. Who can't save the country through curves?

So the memorial that originally boasted about Fusu's noble morals, outstanding abilities, and how suitable he was to be the crown prince changed from boasting about Fusu to Zhao Si.

You don’t like Fusu, right? Your grandson does, right?

Just praise and that’s it!

Look how good the children born by the eldest son are? How great?

Your Majesty, don't you really think about your great grandson and decide on the position of crown prince?

As one of the parties involved, Zhao Si actually blushed a little when faced with such a flattering memorial.

(I have made an appointment for a painless gastroenteroscopy tomorrow... bless me.)
