“A prince commits the same crime as a commoner?”
Hearing these words, Qin Shi Huang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Of course he knew this, when the Great Qin changed the law, in order to promote the change, apart from Shang Yang setting up the wood, this initiative was also one of them.
However, when it was really implemented, it was also somewhat discounted.
Not to mention the princes, even some high-ranking officials and nobles would have been given some preferential treatment.
Look at Hu Hai, what the other side had done before, if you really want to talk about it.
He would have been exiled to build the Great Wall.
It’s not that easy to say that a prince who breaks the law is as guilty as a commoner.
The sons of the clan, on the other hand, all had some privileges to a greater or lesser extent.
The emperor, to a certain extent, was also a member of the clan.
He now had a faint understanding of what Zhao Lang was trying to do.
“You are trying to pass a decree to turn all the sons of the clan, into commoners?”
“But doing so will definitely cause discontent among the clan’s children!”
When Zhao Lang saw his old father’s appearance, he knew that the other party was considering the possibility of this matter, and said that
“There is no doubt that the sons of the clan have shed their blood and sweat for the Great Qin, and have made their mark.”
“My child also did not think of directly turning all the clan’s sons and daughters into commoners.”
“On the contrary, my son will also reuse some of the capable clan sons.”
The advantage of the clan’s sons was obvious, and that was loyalty!
Zhao Lang was clear about how important it was to have an army that was absolutely loyal.
Before there were ideas to arm the Great Qin, such an army was a guarantee of imperial power!
To turn all the sons of the clan directly into commoners at once would really be too much of a leisurely life.
Hearing this, Qin Shi Huang raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn’t expect Zhao Lang to reuse the sons of the clan.
At this time, Zhao Lang went on to say.
“Wait for a little more slight division…”
Qin Shi Huang blinked as he listened, Zhao Lang had used the same thing he had used against the Six Kingdoms here!
“Let a portion of the clan elite come to the fore and tilt all the benefits of the clan to them, the ordinary clansmen are bound to be somewhat unconvinced.”
“After intensifying the division, my son will find an imperial son to come out as a deterrent.”
“Then take out some money to make the ordinary clansmen give up their clan status on their own and become ordinary nobles.”
“Finally, expand the scope and use the law to determine it!”
“In any case, the clans will not be allowed to form an autonomous force.”
Qin Shi Huang looked at Zhao Lang with a complicated expression as he listened to
“Who do you want to use to establish authority?”
Zhao Lang thought for a moment and did not say it immediately, but said with a smile that
“Father, I have already thought about it, but you should also have someone in mind, Father, how about we write the name down at the same time?”
Qin Shi Huang was slightly stunned, but he also found it a bit interesting, so he nodded his head.
In the next instant, Zhao Gao, who was listening to the two men’s conversation, had a pen and cloth and silk ready.
Soon, both men had their names written down.
Zhao Lang laughed at this time and said
“Father, light it up together.”
Both of them put down the cloth and silk at the same time, so that two identical names appeared on the table, the
Hu Hai.
“Ha ha ha.”
The two men laughed almost simultaneously, and Qin Shi Huang said that
“Well, it would be appropriate to let Hai’er do this task.”
There was no doubt about Hu Hai’s ability to cause trouble.
As long as Zhao Lang relaxed a little, Hu Hai would naturally cause trouble.
Qin Shi Huang was slightly relaxed at this time, and to be honest, he originally thought that Zhao Lang would take the opportunity to take revenge on Fusu and Gao.
On the side, Zhao Gao watched the two laughing and talking, and in his heart he gained a little more admiration for Zhao Lang.
Using his own brother to make an example of him was, to be honest, not a pleasant thing to do.
But Zhao Lang had used his tactics to turn this into a funny thing.
And in this way, the one who really took the idea could be considered His Majesty.
The trick to making His Majesty so happy is something that no ordinary person would be able to think about, let alone do.
As for Hu Hai, he would always make mistakes anyway, so why not let the other side make some useful ones?
After laughing, Qin Shi Huang continued to ask, at this time
“Those elite clansmen, what will you do with them?”
Zhao Lang was stunned for a moment and replied back that
“Naturally, I will reuse them, since they are talented, then why should my son care about his clan status?”
Qin Shi Huang’s eyes lit up slightly, he didn’t have to worry about Zhao Lang’s tolerance for others, so he nodded and said.
“You are thinking well, but there must be repetition in this.”
“The clan elders are no fools!”
Zhao Lang said with a smile.
“It doesn’t matter, we still need the clan now, and my child is still young, my child can survive those clan elders.”
Qin Shi Huang couldn’t help but stare, and then burst out laughing.
“Good, good, I will wait…”
At this point, Qin Shi Huang but suddenly stopped.
He might not be able to wait.
Zhao Gao at the side also changed his expression slightly.
The room was a little quiet for a while, but Zhao Lang didn’t seem to notice the situation and smiled as he changed the subject to
“Father, the situation on the grassland, but my son has not yet had the time to talk to you in detail.”
Hearing these words, Qin Shi Huang also came to the spirit of
“Father also wants to know how those Hu cavalrymen that Goguryeo invited here became your men.”
The matter of the Hu cavalry entering Liaodong was naturally known to him.
Zhao Lang hesitated for a moment at this time and said that
“Father, Xiao Liu and Xi have not spoken to you?”
Xiao Liu and Xi’s identity was known to him, and the tribe’s development was also known to them.
“Well, there was some mention of it, but the road was too far away for this to be detailed.”
Qin Shi Huang knew that Zhao Lang had a back road in the grassland, but he didn’t know when this back road, when it was so powerful!
That was thousands of Hu cavalry!
A force to be reckoned with!
Zhao Lang nodded slightly, it seemed that because of the closed grassland, this news wasn’t so good to pass on.
“Father, in fact, nowadays, the Eastern Hu royal court has mostly fallen under my child’s control.”
Zhao Lang spoke directly.
“What!?”
Qin Shi Huang was so directly shocked that he almost stood up.
The entire Eastern Hu tribe could be hundreds of thousands of people!
The royal court, that is, their centre!
Mastering the King’s Court would mean that Great Qin would have over 100,000 more cavalry!
Even though Zhao Lang himself had said it, Qin Shi Huang still asked, with a few moments of incredulity
“Is this true!?”
Zhao Lang nodded his head and
“It’s just that we haven’t achieved absolute control today.”
Zhao Lang quickly told Pops about the general situation of the Heavenly God Tribe, and
“The Heavenly God Tribe is still developing too rapidly, and it’s a good thing that the Huns have taken away most of the great nobles, weakening these people’s control over the ordinary tribesmen.”
“Now the Heavenly God Tribe is trying to enlist the ordinary tribesmen as much as possible, and it’s having some effect.”
“But it still doesn’t have full control.”
Hearing about the plight of the Heavenly God Tribe, Qin Shi Huang was instead much relieved and said that
“So that’s how it is, you like to take risks, Long’er, this nature needs to be changed.”
“But once you succeed, you will gain countless profits! ”
Listening to his old dad’s comment, Zhao Lang couldn’t help but smack his lips, his Kongjia teacher had said the same thing.
“Father, don’t worry, there is still the threat of the Xiongnu out there now, there won’t be any major problems on the Hu side.”
Zhao Lang said comfortingly.
Qin Shi Huang nodded his head and
“In that case, Father is relieved. ”
“The Xiongnu have also been restless lately, and should have learned of the news from within the Great Qin.”
“Meng Tian has reported that there are many more Xiongnu scouts on the frontier than usual, testing the strength of our army.”
“It seems to be thinking that if the frontier is empty, they will take advantage of the situation.”
Zhao Lang frowned and said.
“Father, will the frontier still hold up then?”
Qin Shi Huang said indifferently, the
“Don’t worry, with Meng Tian on guard, they can’t make any waves.”
“Meng Tian also said that the method you used before was very good, and Meng Tian has asked nearly 100,000 folk and soldiers to dig holes outside the frontier.”
“It has broken quite a few of the Huns’ horses.”
“You boy, how did this heart grow?”
Speaking of this, Qin Shi Huang couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
“One hundred thousand folk and soldiers digging a hole?”
Hearing this number, Zhao Lang couldn’t even help but freeze for a moment.
A picture could not help but come to mind.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, a Xiongnu cavalry was running recklessly, their goal, to detect the movement of the Qin army.
Suddenly, the foremost cavalryman fell to the ground, the others dodged but eventually fell.
Even though their riding skills are superb, a horse’s leg should break!
Even in the grasslands, a horse is an important possession!
Think again, with 100,000 people digging holes, would there still be a good piece of ground close to the Great Wall?
I’m afraid it would be full of potholes!
Just thinking about it, Zhao Lang couldn’t help but mourn for those Xiong Nu cavalry for a while.
Even if they wanted to fill in the pits, not to mention how they would find them, the crossbow arrows on the Great Wall were no match for them if they dared to approach!
So it seems that the frontier is still very stable.
At this time, Qin Shi Huang’s face was slightly solemn, saying that
“But always defending is not an option, the borders are too consumed.”
“What can you do, Long’er?”
Hundreds of thousands of people at the border, one of the easiest things to do, food.
Even if each person is just one catty of grain per day, that’s hundreds of thousands of catties!
Add in the cost of transportation and so on, and this consumption is too horrible.
Zhao Lang thought about it and said that
“Father, my child does have a solution, it’s just that it’s not mature yet, so my child will take a look at it when the time comes.”
The solution to deal with the Xiong Nu cavalry, Zhao Long had already had a plan.
Gunpowder was not a vegetarian either.
But the question was, what would it take to get these Huns to honestly stop where they were and let him bomb?
And it’s best to get more Huns dead at a time, otherwise when the Huns learn that these are not heavenly thunderbolts.
It wouldn’t be so easy to deal with each other again.
Looking at Zhao Lang’s frowning face, Qin Shi Huang smiled and said comfortingly that
“No matter, there is always a way.”
“Long’er, you should complete the ceremony of enthronement first now, and it will be easier to do many things afterwards.”
“It is also important to have a proper name.”
Zhao Lang nodded his head in agreement.
After a further slight deliberation, Qin Shi Huang quickly rose to his feet and
“Long’er, father will…”
Before Qin Shi Huang could finish his sentence, his body suddenly swayed.
“Father!”
“Your Majesty!”
Zhao Gao quickly held the other man steady.
Zhao Lang also reached the front.
Qin Shi Huang stood up and said.
“Father is fine, it’s just that my legs are a bit numb.”
Only then did Zhao Lang feel slightly more at ease, sitting on his knees did have this problem, but he still asked
“Father, are you feeling better?”
Before Qin Shi Huang could say anything, Zhao Gao returned with concern that
“My lord, his majesty he is too overworked and he deals with government affairs late into the night every day…”
But before Zhao Gao could finish his sentence, Qin Shi Huang frowned and said.
“Nosy!”
At once Zhao Gao numbly dared not say more.
Zhao Lang could only frown as well and said that
“Father, you should also take care of your health. ”
Qin Shi Huang nodded his head and smiled, saying
“Father knows, just come and help Father after this period of time.”
“Alright, you should also rest early, it’s rare to have a few days off.”
After saying that, he walked towards the outside.
Zhao Lang sent it to the door and waited for Pops to leave before he said to the slave outside the door.
“Slave, send a message to Old Man Qin to come to Xianyang!”
The slave nodded, except that it was now dark and he could only wait until tomorrow morning to leave the palace.
When he came back, he also asked Qin Lao about his old man’s condition.
Elder Qin just said to rest more and take his medicine on time, and to look further ahead.
But did not say any more explicitly.
He had also always felt his old man, like a big mountain.
The top of the sky and the ground, indestructible!
But just now, he actually felt his old man’s weakness!
Looking at the direction where Pops left, Zhao Lang muttered that
“Father, when I have pacified the Chu land, I will come back to help you.”
By now, Qin Shi Huang had returned to his palace and
“Cough cough cough…”
A dull coughing sound rang out in the palace.
Zhao Gao looked at Qin Shi Huang with extreme concern and
“Your Majesty, my old slave will go and summon the Qin Yue people!”
Qin Shi Huang waved his hand and said that
“I am fine, don’t be nosy and make Long’er worry again.”
“The enthronement of the crown prince by Long’er should be done urgently, even if it is simple, it should not lose its grandeur.”
Zhao Gao could only respond in kind.
“I am going to rest, you should retire.”
Zhao Gao complied and withdrew.
The palace was plunged into a side of darkness for a moment before a sigh of relief rang out.
For the next two days, Zhao Lang had a fairly leisurely time, resting and clearing his mind.
One still could not be busy all the time, one needed to be free to think for a while.
“Brother Long! We’ve come to see you!”
On the last day of his confinement, the voice of Hu Hai rang out outside Zhao Lang’s palace.
Zhao Long then saw Hu Hai and Ying Yin Man arrive at the door together.
Seeing Ying Yinman, Zhao Lang greeted her with a slightly unnatural greeting.
“Man, it’s been a long time.”
Ying Yin Man also shouted with a hot face.
“Ah Long.”
According to the previous rules, Ying Yin Man should also call him Brother Long.
But knowing her identity, then some of the previous things were slightly awkward.
Luckily, I have always been clean!
Hu Hai did not notice this at all, but said excitedly.
“Brother Long, there is now talk outside of your crown prince enthronement ceremony!”
“Hahahaha, you’ll have to let me stand next to you when the time comes!”
He could even imagine the crowds and drums that would surely be there!
How could such a spectacle be without him?
Zhao Lang said, without good grace.
“All those ceremonies of mine have been divided down, when the time comes, this ceremony, however, is not as imposing.”
“Huh?”
Hearing this, Hu Hai clattered his lips in some disappointment.
Zhao Lang returned and said
“Don’t ah, apart from that, what other news do you have?”
Hu Hai, at this point, looked revived and said that
“Brother Long, there really is, I heard that Fusu and Gao, are planning to get something going that day. ”
Zhao Lang narrowed his eyes slightly and
“These two are really not afraid of death!”
