Zhangtai Palace.
After the temple staff left the palace in a hurry, Ying Zheng was pacing back and forth in the main hall with the memorial in his hand...
" This matter is a little difficult to handle. I have to discuss it with Li Si..." Ying Zheng muttered to himself.
……
Inside the pass.
Gao Yao was extremely excited as he looked at this huge and luxurious mansion. Not only did Gao Lan not suffer, but he was also living such a good life with Han Qiu. They did not have to worry about food and clothing.
It was simply blissful.
Where was Yi Xiaochuan?
They had already found Gao Lan and Han Qiu, but Yi Xiaochuan's whereabouts were still unknown!
Gao Yao wanted to go back. He did not want to stay in this world. This world was not good at all.
However, after Gao Yao transmigrated to this world, he understood one thing.
People must have power. Without power, they would be trampled under the feet of others.
However, he didn't want to be a halberd doctor anymore. It was too tough in the military camp, and it was dangerous to go out to battle.
Gao Yao wanted to stay in Xianyang and work in a safe and fat yamen.
Even without Han Qiu, Gao Yao would still use his own methods to keep Xianyang…
……
Liu Bang walked at the front of the group of soldiers heading to the camp at Mount Li. Yi Xiaochuan and the other Pei County villagers who had been abducted by Liu Bang were tied up and walking forward.
" The Lishan Camp is not far away. Let's hurry up…"
"Mount Li Camp?"
"Am I being escorted to Mount Li to build the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?”Yi Xiaochuan felt that his life had never been so dark. He had originally planned to head to Xianyang to find Empress Lu Zhi and Prime Minister Xiao He for his big brother.
But in the end, she was made drunk by her elder brother and went to Mount Li to serve as a corvee.
Many people would die in Mount Li's Imperial Mausoleum. Furthermore, the people who built the Imperial Mausoleum also had many prisoners. These prisoners would eventually be executed…
"Don't tell me you want me to be buried with you!"
Yi Xiaochuan's imagination ran wild, but he did not dare to stop. The officer escorting the corvee beside him raised his whip. If he was half a step slower, the whip would come down ruthlessly!
Mount Li was very close to Xianyang. Could he escape halfway and go to Xianyang?
His adopted brother Xiang Yu had gone to Xianyang. He wondered if his adopted brother Xiang Yu could come and save him!
Yi Xiaochuan felt a little regretful. If he had known that he would be forced to go to Xianyang, he would have chosen to go with his adopted brother…
"Pa!"
"Hurry up! You're dawdling!"
The leather whip lashed Yi Xiaochuan's back fiercely, urging him to catch up with the team!
……
The people of Zhangtai Palace appeared at the inner pass marquis 'manor.
"Lord of the Pass, His Majesty has asked you to go to Zhangtai Palace to discuss politics…"
After Han Qiu received the imperial edict from the First Emperor, she did not delay and immediately went to Zhangtai Palace.
At the same time, Li Si and Meng Tian also received the First Emperor's decree.
……
When Han Qiu entered Zhangtai Palace, Li Si and Meng Tian were already there. When the two of them saw Han Qiu walk into the main hall, they smiled. The Emperor had indeed put the Marquis of the Pass in an important position.
After Han Qiu sat down, Ying Zheng said,""Pouring tea for the three beloved ministers. There are some things that I can't decide at the moment. I invite the three of you to make a decision for me!”
"It's not enough. Before I say this, I want the three beloved ministers to guess what is written in this memorial in my hand. Why did I call the three beloved ministers here today?”
Ying Zheng held the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at Li Si, Han Qiu, and Meng Tian with high spirits.
Han Qiu looked at the bamboo slips in Ying Zheng's hands. This year was the first year after Qin Shihuang unified the six dynasties. Logically speaking, many things had happened in this year, such as Hu Ye, the man who had destroyed Qin, Xu Fu, the warlock, who went out to sea to seek the elixir of immortality, and the issuing of laws to unify weights and measures...
Now, Ying Zheng did not show any signs of anger, which meant that the stele of Hu Ye, the one who destroyed the Qin Dynasty, had not appeared.
If it wasn't for this matter, then there would be four things that could not be avoided. The first was the orphan of the royal family of the six states. The second was the unification of weights and measures. The third was whether to enfeoffment or to concentrate power. Fourth, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy headed to Xianyang…
Han Qiu saw the joy on the First Emperor's face and had already guessed it correctly.
"Meng Tian, tell me what is written in this memorial?”
"Your Majesty, I am stupid and do not know.”
As soon as Meng Tian finished speaking, Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and asked,""Prime Minister, tell me what is written in the memorial in this one's hands.”
"Why don't we write a few words for His Majesty to see?" Li Si smiled.”
"Good! Good! Get the paper."
Ying Zheng immediately ordered the temple staff to prepare a pen and paper for Li Si and Han Qiu.
Han Qiu casually wrote two words on the paper."Ru, Quan!"
At that moment, Li Si had finished writing…
"My two beloved ministers, open it and let me see who wrote it correctly.”
Li Si and Han Qiu revealed what they had written.
Meng Tian looked over and was surprised to see that Li Si's words were: Centralization of power for all ages, Confucianism can be used but cannot be destroyed…
Han Qiu had only written two words-authority! Ru!
Seeing that Li Si and Han Qiu had the same thoughts, Ying Zheng laughed out loud and said,""The talents of the two beloved ministers are on par. That's right, this memorial was written by Fusu to me. Fusu asked me to enfeoffe the Ying Clan…Moreover, Young Master Fusu asked His Majesty to build a Hall of Gathering Virtues. The Hall of Gathering Virtues would be presided over by a great scholar, and Fusu asked Chunyu Yue to preside over the Hall of Gathering Virtues…"
Ying Zheng was very satisfied with Li Si and Han Qiu. Both of them were very talented, yet they were able to guess the contents of the memorial.
However, Ying Zheng admired Han Qiu's two words more. Those two simple words described the contents of the memorial clearly. On the contrary, Li Si's words were too direct...
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Han Qiu thought to himself,"" Young Master Fusu has finally started to build the Hall of Gathering Virtues. Because of the Hall of Gathering Virtues, many people from the Hundred Schools of Thought gathered in Xianyang. Some of the martial artists criticized the First Emperor, which made the First Emperor furious…"
However, Han Qiu remembered very clearly that after Young Master Fusu established the Sage Gathering Hall, the scoundrel Liu Bang and Xiang Yu appeared in the Sage Gathering Hall. Yi Xiaochuan also appeared in the Sage Gathering Hall and had an encounter with Young Master Fusu…
Han Qiu remembered that Yi Xiaochuan had displayed his talents in the Hall of Virtue, and Young Master Fu Su had addressed Yi Xiaochuan as Mister Yi…
He did not know where Yi Xiaochuan was at that moment.
Gao Yao did not meet Yi Xiaochuan, did not enter the palace with his body cleansed, and did not become a favorite of Huhai…
The change in the historical plot was a little serious!
Who knew if Gao Yao would still be the Zhao Gao who had power over the court and called a deer a horse!
……
Just as Han Qiu was thinking about what would happen next, Meng Tian cupped her hands and said,""Reporting to Your Majesty, Young Master Fusu is incomparably benevolent and righteous. This subject believes that it is time for Young Master to make a difference. However, this subject does not oppose or agree with the matter of enfeoffment.”
Hearing Meng Tian's words, Ying Zheng turned to Li Si and Han Qiu and asked,""What do the two beloved ministers think?"
Han Qiu thought to himself, Young Master Fusu's fate is probably already in his and Li Si's hands. If Han Qiu were to say a few harsh words to the First Emperor, Young Master Fusu wouldn't be able to build the Sage Gathering Hall no matter how capable he was!”
Should he ask Young Master Fusu to build a Virtue-Gathering Hall?
Han Qiu wanted to hear Li Si's opinion first. If Young Master Fusu's establishment of the Virtue Gathering Hall did not bring any benefits, then she would destroy Young Master Fusu's dream of establishing the Virtue Gathering Hall.
At this moment, Young Master Fusu was waiting anxiously in his manor. The great scholar Chunyu Yue and the other celebrities from the six dynasties were also waiting for the final verdict!
At that moment, they did not know that their fate was already in the hands of Li Si and Han Qiu!
Whether he lived or died, it was up to Li Si and Han Qiu!
If Li Si and Han Qiu had made the decision to stop Young Master Fusu from building Talent-Gathering Hall, then these great scholars under Young Master Fusu would have been birds and beasts instead of phoenixes!
