Chapter 513 The Happy Life of the First Emperor

"What do you think about the affairs in Xianyang?" The First Emperor held the little child slave in his arms and asked.

The little boy made babbling noises and tried to pull the Emperor's beard. The Emperor cooperated by teasing the child with his beard. The little boy stretched out his hand and the Emperor raised his head. He tried several times but couldn't catch it. The boy screamed anxiously.

Seeing this, the First Emperor revealed his flaw and grabbed the little guy's beard.

The little childish slave was not ambiguous at all. With a strong pull, a few beards were pulled off by the little guy, causing the First Emperor to blink his eyes in pain, but there was no anger at all on his face.

Meng Yi next to him was frightened and found it a bit funny.

Having followed the First Emperor for so many years, riding in the same car when going in and out, it can be said that apart from the palace officials, Meng Yi is the most familiar with the First Emperor. Of the many princes and grandsons, which one can be as favored as a little child slave?

His Majesty is usually the most dignified and dignified person. He doesn’t even move the crown on his head when he walks, let alone having his beard trimmed...

But this is not the first time... Meng Yi has been coming to Tangquan with the First Emperor for so long, and he is shocked every day, but he has gotten used to it.

I just had a few beards growing out. A few days ago, the little slave even peed on the First Emperor's face with his bare buttocks.

"So darling, very strong... just like me!"

Sure enough, the First Emperor praised the little slave and thought that the little slave was really talented for being able to grow a beard at just three months old.

I originally thought this was the limit, but now I have another childish slave...

He's not in Xianyang, so what's the point of expressing his own opinions? Moreover, the opening of the school room involves a lot of things. To be honest, Meng Yi himself didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing, but what is certain is that His Highness Taisun has a grand plan, and it is not just about opening the school room.

Not to mention that the hot springs provide shelter from the cold... Even if they are patrolling the world, they are not looking for fun... Apart from the hard work of traveling and riding, the rest is to deal with official duties.

Judging from what the First Emperor meant, he probably didn't intend to take the little child slave with him and raise him up with his own hands.

I don’t want to listen to what they say is right or wrong, I want to tell them what is right or wrong.

“Everyone wants to tell me that what they say and what they think is right, but among the hundreds of schools of thought, they themselves can’t argue clearly about who is right and who is wrong.

I originally planned to tell the world what is right and what is wrong. I planned to make a charter and show it to the world. "The First Emperor said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness opened the school and restarted the new staff, which is quite innovative..." Meng Yi started talking nonsense...

"Si'er is more generous than me...but his temperament is no better than mine." The First Emperor rubbed his brows.

Meng Yi didn't say anything. The First Emperor's words were a bit deep today. This was not something he should discuss.

"But I'm tired of hearing it, I'm tired of hearing it!" The First Emperor rubbed the little slave who was playing with his beard.

At that time, the First Emperor would take Hu Hai with him every time he went hunting. I thought this was the ultimate... Later, Zhao Si came out. After Zhao Si became the grandson, he was almost inseparable from the First Emperor.

"But Si'er made me change my mind..." the First Emperor said with a smile.

What's even more hateful is that they also deceive people all over the world. I don't know how many eyes in the world are staring at me. No matter what I do, there will always be someone who can find my fault and criticize me. "The First Emperor spoke quietly.

"I am getting old and the weather is cold, so I can only stay in the hot spring to keep warm... You stayed with me in the hot spring and missed so many things in vain, and you don't care about it?" The First Emperor looked at Meng Yi with a smile.

"What do you think of things in Xianyang?" Shihuang asked again.

Not only the First Emperor, but also everyone tensed up, as if something was chasing behind them, and no one could stop.

Firstly, it was easier to get along with the First Emperor like this, and secondly, it was also because in the past few years, the First Emperor had indeed lived a very hard life.

Sometimes changes are silent, but as an absolutely loyal minister, Meng Yi can only be happy in his heart.

"When writing a letter to the court, one character can be written in seven ways. To read the government affairs, I have to be familiar with other countries' languages. I felt it was inappropriate, so I settled on the small seal script and later changed it to the official script, thinking that it would be unified..."

Every time he thought of that amazing young man, the First Emperor always felt a pang of regret in his heart.

It's too messy and complicated, and I don't want to hear them argue about right and wrong.

Meng Yi didn't know what to say when he had something to say. He originally thought that Fusu was destined to be his destiny, but later Hu Hai, who was even more loved by the First Emperor, came out.

"Qin Zunzun Shang ruled the country by law, but the world's moral traditions are more complicated. There are no less than a hundred schools of thought. There can be a hundred ways to say one thing. This one is reasonable, and that other one is also reasonable. There is no dispute, as if No matter what I do, everything is wrong. No matter what I do, it is wrong. It will not work in the future, and it will be wrong in the future. When I execute a government order, it is never perfect. There are always people who can find faults, and there are always people who feel that what I have done is wrong and make unreasonable comments.

Han Fei came to me and presented "Five Worms" to "Xianxue". "A trace of trance flashed in the eyes of the First Emperor.

"Han Fei's policy theory is very well written and is in line with my wishes. Legalism is also in line with my wishes.

"When the world is unified, all peoples have their own customs and customs." The First Emperor pinched the little child slave's cheek.

"I think what Si'er said makes sense. I can use whoever I want to use, not who I can only use. This is how I teach Si'er."

The First Emperor with the little child slave by his side is simply an extreme. With the little child slave around, as long as he praises the little child slave, the First Emperor and his elders will be so happy that they can't open their mouths from ear to ear.

"But people in the world often cannot see this clearly. There are always some people who are good at teaching others..." The First Emperor narrowed his eyes.

He has followed the First Emperor to Tangquan, so of course he is qualified enough to talk nonsense, but he won't do any of his nonsense anyway.

For more than ten years, the First Emperor was a dignified and unsmiling person in the eyes of Meng Yi and even most people. But now...

"Why do you need to explain your Majesty's actions to others?" Meng Yi whispered from the side.

"From Guanzhong to Chu to purchase goods and then transport them back, the coins had to be exchanged more than ten times...so I abolished the coins of the six countries and only used Qin coins..."

How is it like now? He, Meng Yi, was still a loyal minister of the First Emperor, so he could still take legal leave?

"The weather does not change with age. Although I am a little younger, the weather is really cold, and it is really warm to stay in Tangquan." Meng Yi said.

"The young master was born as a god, so he is certainly extraordinary..." Meng Yi agreed, and the First Emperor was indeed beaming.

"You can also talk nonsense?" The First Emperor frowned slightly.

Strictly speaking, the Meng family are not serious old Qin people. Although they have entered the circle of nobles in Guanzhong after several generations of hard work, they are different in the end. The legal officials in Guan have little to do with them. Yi himself learned Mohist techniques...

So much so that Meng Yi always has a weird feeling of separation.

"It's not my fault. It's just that this matter involves hundreds of schools of thought, so I don't dare to speak nonsense..." Meng Yi shook his head and stated his position again.

After following the First Emperor for so long, Meng Yi could tell... The First Emperor was clearly telling himself that there would be a big drama in the future.

It's not implied, it's stated.

He clearly expressed the First Emperor's support and trust in Zhao Si, and basically told Meng Yi from the bottom of his heart that Zhao Si was the crown prince and would definitely inherit the throne no matter what happened.

In other words, the First Emperor gave Meng Yi a chance. The opportunity to follow Zhao Si...and this is not gambling, it is the First Emperor, the banker, who directly opened the back door for Meng Yi.

As long as Meng Yi nods, he can return to Xianyang now.

In view of the personal relationship between Meng Yi and Zhao Si, as well as the relationship between Zhao Si and the grandson of the First Emperor, Meng Yi will easily become the most reliable person around Zhao Si.

Once the heir is decided, the throne may not come naturally. There are many such stories in history.

But it is another matter for the First Emperor to make the promise himself.

Meng Yi could feel the First Emperor's firmness in Zhao Si's choice. He didn't mind Zhao Si sharing his power at all. It could be said that he opened his mouth and gave it to Zhao Si.

As for the Meng family who were originally supporters of Prince Fusu?

It can only be said that there are differences between princes and princes...

"This boy seems to have a wild temper, but he never does anything wrong. I promise to supervise the country. Even if the ministers do something, he will do it impeccably and clearly. But even if he asks the ministers to do something in the East Palace, , I will only think that he is courageous." The First Emperor seemed to be sighing, and it seemed to be a further hint.

This was very explicit.

He almost didn't tell Meng Yi that even if Zhao Si wore the dragon robe one day, the First Emperor would praise him and say, "My grandson looks great in the dragon robe."

Meng Yi didn't know why the First Emperor was so firm with Zhao Si. This could even be said to be indulgent. This kind of love could not be said to be in an emperor's family, it was quite rare even in an ordinary family.

It's like I...have never enjoyed this kind of love.

It's a bit over the standard...

"I still want to stay in Tangquan..." Meng Yi smiled and ignored the First Emperor's hint.

The First Emperor had the choice of the First Emperor, and Meng Yi also had his own choice.

The First Emperor gave Meng Yi a chance to choose, and Meng Yi could freely choose yes or no.

The First Emperor is not like other people. He lets you choose, that is, he really lets you choose.

Whatever he wants you to do, he will let you do it instead of choosing.

Meng Yi's reason is simple, more out of his heart.

Zhao Si and Fusu are father and son, the grandsons of the First Emperor. They are a family, and they are princes with an orderly inheritance.

Although he is from Fusu, there is no problem in turning around and hugging Zhao Si. One is the prince, the other is the grandson, and they are father and son. This will not affect his personal morality at all, and it has directly changed from a tree-lined path to a Tongtian Avenue.

With his qualifications, background, ability, and personal relationship with Zhao Si, he joined Zhao Si's staff...

But...people's hearts have their own fundamentals. If Meng Yi is a person, the world won't think there is anything wrong with him, but that doesn't mean that there is nothing wrong with him in his heart.

He was first a minister of the First Emperor, and then a supporter of Fusu...

He believes that some things need to be sustained.

"What about the Peacock Kingdom? What do you think?" The First Emperor didn't mind Meng Yi's choice, but asked about the Peacock Kingdom again.

"We are far away across the ocean... We are starting to make preparations now. I am afraid that there may not be a result next year. As for the war, I am not familiar with maritime affairs, so I dare not make a hasty conclusion... But if it is the Huaili Warden, I think there will be no big problem. "Meng Yi said.

In the entire Great Qin, only Li Xin currently has experience in large-scale naval combat.

Li Xin... is an out-and-out genius.

Although in the great turmoil of the world rebellion, the answers handed over were not enough to satisfy the First Emperor.

However, firstly, Li Xin had just started to use the navy, a new branch of the military, and needed to reorganize his combat ideas, become familiar with the combat environment, and change adaptive tactics. Secondly, because of the failure of the battle against Chu, Li Xin was more inclined to seek stability than before. , rather than proving yourself.

That is the navy...the only one in the world so far.

The Navy and the Navy both seem to be related to water, but they are completely different concepts. Anyone who knows the military knows this.

Li Xin's record this time seems to be the worst... But if you consider that Li Xin has never been in contact with the navy before, and has no experience in naval combat in history, Li Xin defeated the enemy with very few casualties. The East China Sea dirty people united with the local nobles to suppress the rebellion within a very small area, and accurately seized the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the opponent.

You know, during this turmoil in the world, the battlefield losses led by Li Xin were almost minimal. There was no problem except that it took a long time.

The reason why the answer sheet submitted by Li Xin was not enough to satisfy the First Emperor was that even Zhao Si himself felt that Li Xin was too steady and lost his spirit.

That's because they subconsciously thought that Li Xin should be the one who handed in the paper in advance and still scored 100 points.

"It would be a good idea to exchange the gold and silver from the Aviation Trade Military Palace for food... But Ping Yang's worry is not unreasonable. The Peacock Kingdom is too far away, and if it lasts for a long time, it will cost a lot..." The First Emperor shook his head.

Obviously, the First Emperor, who was far away in Tangquan, knew everything about what Zhao Si did and even every move he made.

Just as Zhao Si said to Jizhu, even if he didn't report it, the First Emperor knew everything that happened in Xianyang.

"Every household now has a surplus of food. Coupled with the government's inventory in various places, it will not be tight in the short term. However, I also believe that a quick decision should be made." Meng Yi said.

Obviously everyone is thinking the same way on this point.

Let alone Zhao Si, the First Emperor could not accept the offensive behavior of the Peacock Kingdom.

Even if this war is a loss, it still has to be done to the giant car king. The old Qin people can never accept this kind of insult.

"It's easy to fight, but it's hard to stop. How long and how big the fight will be depends on what Si'er thinks. You should be prepared for additional attacks in advance..." The First Emperor waved his hand.

Although he trusted Zhao Si very much and was willing to support Zhao Si, the First Emperor still subconsciously gave Zhao Si a backup plan.

Food is limited. If the fight cannot be completed, it will be useless even if there is gold and silver. Additional levies will still have to be imposed.

Sometimes, only by entering a state of war can Great Qin's resources be mobilized 100%.

"As for Xianyang...you send someone to pass the elders of the three surnames into Tangquan."

Meng Yi nodded.

The First Emperor was clearly speaking hard and soft-hearted, telling Zhao Si to let go and take action, but he still wanted to secretly give his grandson some help.
