Chapter 9 What is a conspiracy? Those in power are also conspiracy!
Speechless for a long time.
Ying Zheng's face kept changing, and he finally calmed down.
In recent years, the court has changed a lot.
He gave Fusu enough support and trust. He asked Fusu to participate in any major and secret matters in the court. Although he did not say it clearly, his training of Fusu almost came according to the Qin royal family's actions towards the crown prince.
Because of this, after the palace changes, many people naturally regarded Fusu as the successor of the Emperor of Qin, and he also gained a large number of fans within several years.
All of this.
Ying Zheng knows it.
It was also his intentional acquiescence.
But after several years, he was disappointed with Fusu.
In recent years, Fusu has not only not formed his own national politics, but also has vague views on the country and his father, and has only talked about kindness but has not cultivated power and strategy.
How can such a successor bear the heavy responsibility of the country?
How dare he hand over Daqin to him?
And Qin Luoheng...
Within the ten years since he disappeared, this child has been growing among the people. If he is really his own flesh and blood, can he really bear the great Qin Dynasty after losing ten years?
He doesn't know.
He didn't dare to gamble either.
I don't want to bet.
ten years.
There are too many things that have changed.
Ten years ago, if he had made his tenth son the crown prince, no one in the court would object.
But in the past ten years, the court has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In order to maintain the stability of the court, he deliberately dismantled the forces supporting Ying Sinian. These officials were either neglected, idle, or exiled to the border.
It is too difficult for the tenth son to come back and gain a foothold in the court.
And it moves the whole body with one move.
The situation in the Qin Dynasty is stable now, and the entire court is full of vitality. It is very unwise to rashly change the existing court structure for the tenth son.
He would never do this!
What's more, can Qin Luoheng really stand in the court now?
He is not optimistic.
A white-bodied man in the countryside, who has never entered the temple or is not good at power and strategy. Such a person who enters the court directly will only become a disaster for the Qin Dynasty. Those in power will not be good at power and strategy, which will become a joke.
Chief Ying Zheng let out a sigh.
"What is power and power scheme?"
"Those who are in power are strategy!"
"And what are those who are political and moral?"
"Based on the great way, and power-making as the purpose. Without the great way, no plan cannot be established, and without power, no plan cannot be accomplished."
"From ancient times, many wise monarchs, good ministers, famous scholars and heroes died because they did not understand power and plot, and how many Legal masters ended up having different bodies and heads because they did not understand power and plot or were disdainful of power and plot."
"Although the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the current situation is still uneven. If the people in power are not good at making plans, how can they judge the situation? How can they understand the general trend? How can they be more volatile when external troubles and internal troubles and control the situation in the world?"
"He missed the time after all!"
Ying Zheng drove away the thoughts in his mind, sat upright, and then shouted to the eunuch waiting in the hall: "Come on, go and call the censor Yi."
Then he continued to review the memorial.
Not long.
A man with gray hair appeared in the hall.
This man was skinny and wore a brocade robe, but he didn't fit on his thin body. His eyes were blue and he entered the hall barefoot. He didn't look like a censor, but rather a countryside cloth man.
However, if you look closely, you can see a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
Cold and iron blood.
Enter the hall.
Yi hurriedly bowed and said, "I will meet your Majesty."
Ying Zheng looked slightly and continued to review the memorials. He asked blankly: "How is the matter I asked you to investigate?"
Yi said:
"Report to Your Majesty."
"I've already had some clues."
Ying Zheng paused his hand and said indifferently: "Say."
Yi said seriously: "When you go back to your Majesty, I have indeed found out some news by asking the villagers and hunters near Mount Li. Qin Luoheng did come to Mount Li ten years ago."
"It's just that he didn't come alone."
"There is also an old man in his seventies around him."
"But according to these villagers, the old man hasn't appeared for several years, and he is probably dead."
Ying Zheng's eyes closed slightly.
"Did you find out where Qin Luoheng came from?"
Yi trembled:
"Back to your Majesty, this has not been found yet."
"I only found out that when Qin Luoheng first appeared near Mount Li, it was already in the 21st year of His Majesty (October). At that time, the Qin Dynasty was launching an army to attack Yan, and there were many rebellions in Chu, and many refugees and deceased also came to the Qin Dynasty at that time."
"And they acted very carefully, as if they were deliberately avoiding the government."
"After they came to Guanzhong, they have been easy to understand, and only bartered and never entered the market, so their names never appeared in the registration of Xianyang Municipal officials."
"They usually only move outside the city. They will only enter the city when the court posts notices in Jique. Apart from that, they will basically not choose to enter the city."
"That day, the reason why Qin Luoheng was in the city was because His Majesty had just held a high ceremony. After the sacrifice, the leftover offerings were sold publicly by the court. Qin Luoheng mingled with his concubines, Cheng Dan and other prisoners and bought a few pieces of meat jerky."
"This is the news I've found out now."
"Please be aware of your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly sunken.
He didn't expect that this was the reason why Qin Luoheng entered the city, but he quickly realized that beef in Daqin is a very valuable resource, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to eat beef.
But it's not without chance.
The sacrificial sacrifices in the court were generally large in scale, and these sacrifices were generally not eaten at that time. In order to sacrifice with the people, the remaining sacrifices would be sold to the people, the better ones would be bought to ordinary citizens, and the worse ones would be sold to the prisoners, Chengdan and other prisoners.
These offerings are sold without registration!
It has always been regarded as blessing from God to the people he bought.
Ying Zheng asked:
"Can the identity of that old man be found?"
Yi shook his head.
"I am incompetent, and I haven't found any useful information yet."
"But based on the information collected, the old man probably has gone."
"I dare to ask Your Majesty to give you some more time. I have sent someone to secretly monitor Qin Luoheng, and I believe there will be something to gain soon."
Ying Zheng nodded.
"You can just investigate secretly, but don't let Qin Luoheng know."
"As for this old man..." Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with a sharp look and said in a deep voice: "Whether he dies or not, you must find out for me. I want to see people alive and corpses alive."
"I must know his identity!"
Yi hurriedly said:
"I will never let down your Majesty's entrustedness."
Ying Zheng turned his sleeves.
"Go down."
"I'm asking for my leave." Yi slowly retreated from the hall.
Inside the hall.
Ying Zheng sat high above him, his eyes slightly closed.
"Qin Luoheng, and that old man, I really want to see what secrets are hidden in you two that can even be found by the court."
