The capital of the Qin State was moved nine times in total, namely to Xiquqiu, Xicui, Tianshui, Yong, Pingyang, Jaeweihui, Jingyang, Yueyang, and Xianyang. It was not until the twelfth year of Qin Xiaogong that the capital was finally settled in Xianyang.

It never changed to another capital. After Qin Shihuang won the government and unified the world, he took advantage of the situation and made Xianyang the capital of the new Qin Empire. From then on, Xianyang became the center of the world.

After that, countless people who wanted to show their talents went west to Xianyang, and Xianyang suddenly became a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands. However, as the population increased, it caused more conflicts, and the laws of the Qin State

Heavy punishment but not heavy law further aggravated the contradiction. However, under Qin's harsh punishment laws, no one dared to violate those laws.

Now Fusu is walking into Xianyang, which looks very prosperous but is actually undercurrent.

The city gate in the northeast of Xianyang is wide enough for three carriages to drive side by side without touching each other, but under the control of the soldiers guarding the city, they can only walk in slowly one by one. Everyone who enters the city has to pay two

Fusu and his entourage were no exception to the tax money required to enter the city. After paying the money, they were able to enter Xianyang City.

After entering the city, Fusu and everyone wandered around like other princes in Xianyang City, and found Li Si's Prime Minister's Mansion. After walking around the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fusu had to be amazed by Li Si's power.

The Prime Minister's Mansion covers an area of ​​dozens of acres. Although it is not as grand as a royal palace, it is still considered the top mansion in Xianyang City. Looking from the outside, you can see countless halls and pavilions inside. Without Qin Shihuang's acquiescence, Li Si

I don't dare to build this mansion so ostentatiously.

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fusu and others wandered around and came to Fusu's residence in Xianyang. After seeing Li Si's Prime Minister's Mansion, Fusu felt that his home was like a nest.

"Emperor... Young Master, are we staying in your house?" Guard Guan Li asked.

Fusu glared at him and said, "Be careful what you say in the future. This is Xianyang already. Don't let others hear that there is a problem." Then he shook his head and said, "I have already planned to return to Shangjun after meeting Li Si secretly, so as not to cause any complications.

Let’s find a hotel to stay in first, and then go there in the evening.”

"But there is a curfew at night." A guard said hurriedly.

"Can't we think of a way? Well, now is not the time to think about this. Let's go, let's find a hotel to stay in. Everyone is tired these days, so take a good rest." After saying this, Fusu

He led the horse first and entered a small inn that was not very eye-catching. It was almost noon. Fusu and the guards ordered food and entered the room.

When the guards entered the room, Fusu grabbed one of the guards named Meng Kong and said, "After dinner, go to the market to buy some ropes. I will use them at night." After Meng Kong agreed, Fusu

Only then did we enter the guest room.

After eating, the guards who had traveled hundreds of miles fell asleep one after another. Meng Kong went to the market to buy ropes, and Fusu also fell asleep on the couch after thinking about what happened at night.

.

It was a very sweet sleep, and it was not until dusk that Fusu woke up. After letting the boss of the hotel serve some wine and food, he asked the boss to go out on the pretext of needing to rest.

Then Fusu called the guards over and said: "After the second watch, we will climb out from the back wall and then go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I took a look and found that the wall is relatively low in the southwest corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so we will enter from there.

." Then he asked Meng Kong, "Have you bought the rope?"

Meng Kong nodded and said, "I have bought ten thick ropes."

Fusu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, everyone, get ready. All the hard work these days is just for tonight."

It was already the second watch, and Xianyang City was no longer noisy during the day. Only a few Xunjie soldiers holding long swords appeared regularly on the broad streets. The imperial court had already issued an order, but there were people wandering around privately at night without badges.

They should be treated as traitors and killed on the spot without asking why.

But today, more than a dozen figures climbed out from the back wall of a hotel. After avoiding several soldiers patrolling the street, they turned to Xianyang East Street, which is dominated by the residences of Gongqing officials. They arrived in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion to see

After looking around for no one, he turned to the southwest corner and saw that the wall here was only one foot high, and behind the wall was a lush pine forest. Fusu said softly: "Tangle the rope around the thick

On the pine branches, we climbed in with ropes."

Everyone threw out the ropes in their hands. The accuracy and hand strength of these elite men who had spent hundreds of battles on the battlefield were all top-notch. The ropes were all caught on the pine branches, and everyone entered the Prime Minister's Mansion one by one.

The Prime Minister's Mansion looks luxurious enough from the outside, but now it feels even more luxurious when you are inside. Every tree inside is hundreds of years old, and every stone slab is carved with patterns. This is just the back garden.

Fusu never thought that with the current level of production and labor, a back garden could be built so beautifully. He couldn't help but muttered softly: "The wine and meat in Zhumen are smelly, and the roads are frozen to death. It's really like that."

.”

"Who is it? You dare to break into my prime minister's house!" With a shout, a large number of servants rushed over with spears and torches, and the back garden was illuminated like daylight by torches and lanterns.

Fusu never expected that the internal defense of the Prime Minister's Mansion would be so tight. After a moment of panic, he strode up to the guards and said, "The eldest son of the Emperor, Fusu, wants to see Prime Minister Li. Please go and inform him."

"Prince Fusu?" Those people said in disbelief, "Do you have any proof?"

Fusu took out his copper seal from his arms and threw it into the hands of the person who seemed to be in charge. After the man took the copper seal and looked at it, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he said: "Wait a minute."

Stay." He told the others, "Keep an eye on them, I'll go back as soon as I can." After saying that, he headed towards the inner house.

Watching him leave, Fusu felt a little uneasy. The other party seemed to have expected that he would come in the evening, and he had prepared everything. But then he thought about the time he came here because he had suddenly decided that he would not be caught.

As expected, it seemed that he was being suspicious.

After a while, a large number of lights came towards this side. As the person got closer, Fusu could see clearly that in addition to the person who just went to report, there were many servants and guards, but the first thing he looked at was a fifty-year-old man.

An old man of many years old. He was wearing a silk blue robe, a court crown on his head, and three strands of beard trembling gently as he walked. He looked very elegant and elegant. Fusu could not imagine that there was no legal knowledge.

Everyone, Li Si, the first prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, who was famous for his harsh punishments and was criticized in history for killing Han Fei and helping Hu Hai seize the throne, could be so elegant and unconventional.

Li Si came to Fusu and saluted, "I have met Prince Fusu."

"Prime Minister, no courtesy." Fusu did not return the gift or help him with his hand as Li Si thought, but accepted the gift. Li Si's eyes showed a strange color, and then he held Fusu's bronze seal with both hands.

When he arrived in front of him, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty has already set up a banquet in the main hall. If the prince has any instructions, please discuss them while we eat." He never mentioned Fusu's move over the wall.

Fusu was so busy that he walked side by side, and he had to admire Li Si's composure. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw a maid standing there, and the two seats were filled with wine and food. Fusu looked at the banquet and said:

"Can the Prime Minister also prepare some food for my guards?"

Li Si smiled and said, "We are all ready." As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of his family came to invite Meng Kong and others to have a drink in the side hall. The guards glanced at Fusu, who nodded slightly, and then they followed.

I will go out to drink.

Li Si poured a glass of wine, held it up and said, "I'll give the First Prince a glass of wine. I think it's to wash away the dust for the First Prince." He drank it all in one gulp.

Fusu did not refuse. After drinking a drink, he put a chopstick of vegetables in his mouth and chewed it for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty, you must know the purpose of my coming today."

"I don't know, I ask the prince to tell me."

"Then I won't beat around the bush. I'm here today because of the Prime Minister's future plans."

"Where do you start talking about this?" Li Si was not surprised when he heard Fusu's shocking words.

"Now that my brother Hu Hai and Zhao Gao have joined forces, many ministers have turned to them. Once the emperor... they want to seize the throne. Now only the prime minister can compete with Zhao Gao among the ministers, so support

Su kindly asks the Prime Minister to lend me a helping hand."

Li Si chuckled and said: "Now that the emperor is in his prime, how can he seize the throne?"

"I also mean that there is a chance." Fusu said hurriedly.

"Okay, even if it is as the prince said, since the second prince is now the most powerful, why should I help you? What does this have to do with my future?"

"Don't you, the Prime Minister, know that adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when it's time? As Hu Hai is the emperor, no matter how great the Prime Minister's merits are, he can only be inferior to Zhao Gao. But if he helps me become the emperor, the Prime Minister can be the first in Yuan Gong. The difference between the two should be understood by the Prime Minister.

It’s obvious. Besides, the Prime Minister has always been at odds with Zhao Gao. If he is allowed to gain power, I’m afraid the Prime Minister will not be able to save his fortune and life.”

Li Si looked at Fusu with a calm expression on his face, but he was very surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that Fusu would go straight to the point and didn't give himself an excuse at all. He pondered for a moment and said: "Besides this, there are also

Are there any other reasons that can persuade me?"

Fusu looked at Li Si quietly. He already knew that Li Si was moved. Hearing the question, he added: "Who does the Prime Minister think between me and Hu Hai can be a wise king? Fusu is not talented and thinks he is better at governing the country.

Hu Hai is much higher. If Hu Hai becomes the emperor, I am afraid that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will cause chaos again. At that time, the great situation that our Qin Dynasty has been able to unify after hundreds of years of hard work will collapse, and the foundation just created by the First Emperor will be destroyed.

, when the time comes, the Prime Minister, together with Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, will become the eternal sinners of our Great Qin!" These words were derived by Fusu based on the historical facts and evaluations of later generations.

Hearing this, Li Si was speechless. Li Si was also aware of Hu Hai's abilities, so he did not doubt that these things would not happen.

At this moment, a burst of domineering laughter came from behind the lobby, and one person laughed and said: "I never thought that Fusu, who I always thought was too pedantic, would have such insight. It's rare, haha, it's really rare."
