Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 682 The escape begins

Zhang Han was left speechless by Gu Xun's words, and could only smile bitterly a few times, pretending not to know, "This... I don't know the final general."

"However, the general feels that having the National Master in charge of the Shadow Guard is the best choice."

Gu Xun did not continue to force Zhang Han to reveal the key point, and started talking to himself:

"Zhang Han, do you think... it is appropriate for the prince to take sides?"

Zhang Han's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. Although Gu Xun didn't ask him directly, it was not much different.

But it wouldn't work if he kept pretending to be dead and didn't answer the question. If he was unlucky, Gu Xun might just have a whim and kill him for real.

"I don't dare to say anything about the crown prince's affairs, but I feel that as a minister, I should only be loyal to the king." Zhang Han expressed his position simply and straightforwardly, hoping that Ji Guxun would give up.

But it was obviously impossible. Gu Xun continued to make insinuations and said, "Theoretically, your statement is correct."

"However, reality is much more complicated than theory!"

"The superior naturally does not like his subordinates to take sides, so doing nothing and only being loyal to the present is the most appropriate choice in the short term. It will not offend the emperor or anyone who may be in that position. Candidate for Crown Prince."

"But in this case, we have to bear the risk of being liquidated after the new king takes the throne."

"If you don't take sides, you won't be liquidated actively, but you can't avoid being passive."

"There are a number of seats in this imperial court. Those who stand in line and make the right bet will naturally be rewarded. Those who do nothing or stand in the wrong line must make way for them."

"At that time, if you are unlucky enough to block someone else's promotion path, it is inevitable that you will be pushed aside."

The so-called emperor and his ministers are nothing more than this.

There are risks in taking sides, and there are risks in standing on the fence. The transfer of power at the top of a country will inevitably affect everyone in the political system, and the higher the position, the more serious the impact will be.

This is the truth, and Zhang Han knows this very well in his heart.

But anyone with a bit of ambition will have to step aside when the time comes to take sides.

It’s not okay if you don’t end up, your peers are forcing you to get involved!

But the problem is that Ying Zheng is only in his twenties now. Even if the life span of people in this era is generally short, it is still too early.

The king doesn't even have a legitimate son, so where does he stand?

I know that you are the teacher of the eldest son Fusu, but... But this is too anxious, is it necessary?

Zhang Han felt it *hurt* but he had to give a response, so he had to pretend to be stupid for the time being and said:

"The general doesn't quite understand. What does the Imperial Master mean by saying this?"

Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was also surprised that when Gu Xun reached this point, he no longer forced him further and said loosely:
  "Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't understand now, but when it's time to understand, I hope you won't continue...'not understanding'."

Zhang Han didn't know why, so he thought it was Gu Xun who was paving the way for the eldest son Fusu in advance. He nodded and responded vaguely, "The general has noted it down, and... many thanks to the Imperial Master for the suggestion."

Seeing Zhang Han's behavior, Gu Xun also knew what he was thinking.

He didn't mean to correct or refute anything. As far as the current situation was concerned, it didn't matter if Zhang Han kept this idea.

In fact, Guxun was not intended for the Fusula people.

Just like Zhang Han's thoughts, it is too early to prepare for the inheritance, and there is no need to focus on Zhang Han, who is still a minor figure.

Moreover, winning over people mainly depends on inducement, not coercion, let alone pure verbal coercion like Gu Xun.

Going back to the source, the reason why Gu Xun did this lies in the question he originally raised, which was Ying Zheng's idea. Gu Xun didn’t think Ying Zheng was as smart as a demon just because he wore the aura of the First Emperor, like someone who seemed to be able to take one step to count a hundred steps when he opened the future.

However, such a person would not make some decisions casually in a flash of his mind, such as making him the Crown Prince and Tutor while working part-time as Fusu's teacher, or letting him temporarily lead the special force of the Shadow Guards.

Especially when Gu Xun confirmed that Ying Zheng actually had deep fatherly love and expectations for Fusu.

Among these decisions, Gu Xun is not the key, his official position is not the key, and Zhang Han and the Shadow Secret Guard who are involved are not the key, only Fusu...

Fusu is the most important.

Zhang Han is an out-and-out smart man, but even smart people will inevitably make wrong judgments when they don't have enough information.

What he mastered was completely different from Ying Zheng, and it couldn't be compared with Gu Xun, who had opened up the future.

Therefore, Gu Xun needed to remind him early.

In fact, he felt that he had already warned him last time, but Zhang Han was more cautious than he thought, and it did not have the desired effect, so he took advantage of this opportunity to reveal the old things again in a more explicit way. Mentioned it once.

Although it might frighten Zhang Han, Gu Xun believed that the effect should be good enough.

In this way, sufficient effects can be exerted at the right time.

………………

On the same night, under the dark clouds covering the moon, the Xianyang sun looked somewhat dim.

Of course, the cover of the sun at night cannot change the lighting of the lights. The lively places are still lively with bright lights and fireworks, such as the recently added Pan-Sale Gold Cave Complex - the banks of the Weishui River.

This is the Nightless Day BC... Unfortunately it only exists in an imaginary world, please do not associate it with real history.

However, this is only a small part of the area, and more places still maintain the coldness and desolation of the night, silent and unpopular.

At this time, it was less than ten hours since Gu Xun left Xianyang, and Yan Dan's plan started tonight.

Theoretically, if he was fast enough, this night's effort would be enough for him to run out of the most dangerous area and reach the area where the Mo family could help him.

If he could launch the plan one day in advance, he might be able to persuade Gu Xun to help him personally (Yan Dan thinks so), but unfortunately... the time for the start of the plan cannot be decided by him at a glance.

The members of the Imperial Guard who patrolled the night, the masters he selected to accompany him to protect him, the appropriate timing of action given by Fei Yan, and the time point in which the Mo family could cooperate in time to respond...etc., etc., all need to be arranged and selected. A best public area.

He could only settle for today, and he could only give up the opportunity to directly get help from Gu Xun (still thinking).

Fortunately, the conditions Gu Xun agreed to were not compromised in his opinion. Luo Wang and the Yin Yang family had some troubles, and all the helpers who were supposed to come came as promised.

The three people were uniformly dressed in night clothes, with their heads and faces covered. Their faces could not be seen, and there was no way of knowing who they were. They could only be roughly judged to be three tall and thin men. Two of them had empty hands, and the third one was behind them. Carrying two swords that were also covered.

　Let’s talk about another issue, that is Ying Zheng’s queen.

　　At present, I have found no conclusive historical data indicating that Ying Zheng established a queen.

　　Theoretically, he should have it, but in reality, it cannot be found.

　　Some people think that he has it, and that he is from Chu State, which he dislikes, and is Fusu's biological mother.

　　However, it is also not recorded in any historical materials that Fusu is the eldest son, and his mother is not the queen.

　　According to my understanding, Ying Zheng established the Qin Dynasty and after the emperor was reorganized, there was obviously no queen. But before, there was a queen. I am afraid that the queen died early and left no heirs.

　　This is equivalent to not having a queen, so I treat it as if there is no queen and no queen in the article.
