Chapter 563: He May Not Be Able to Wait Any Longer

"The prince breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people?"

Hearing this, Qin Shihuang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Of course he knew this. In order to promote the reform of the Great Qin Dynasty, in addition to Shang Yang's establishment of trees, this measure was also one of them.

But in actual implementation, there are still some discounts.

Not to mention princes, even some high-ranking officials and nobles will receive some preferential treatment.

Just look at Hu Hai, what he did before really needs to be discussed.

He had long been exiled to build the Great Wall.

It is not that easy to make a prince break the law and be guilty of the same crime as the common people.

The descendants of the clan also have some privileges more or less.

The emperor, to a certain extent, was also a descendant of the clan.

He now somewhat understood what Zhao Lang wanted to do.

"Do you want to pass a decree to turn all the clan members into common people?"

"But doing this will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the clan members!"

When Zhao Lang saw his father's look, he knew that the other party was considering the possibility of this matter, so he said,

"The clan members have shed blood and sweat for the Qin Dynasty and have made great contributions. There is no doubt about it."

"Haier has never thought of turning all the clan members into common people."

"On the contrary, the child will also reuse some of the capable clan members."

The advantage of clan members is obvious, that is loyalty!

Zhao Lang knew how important it was to have an absolutely loyal army.

Before the Qin Dynasty was armed with ideas, such an army was the guarantee of imperial power!

Simply turning all the clan members into common people at once would be too leisurely a life.

Hearing this, Qin Shihuang raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect that Zhao Lang would still reuse a clan member.

Zhao Lang then continued,

"Let's differentiate a little bit..."

Qin Shihuang blinked when he heard this. Zhao Lang had used the same trick he used to deal with the Six Kingdoms here!

"If you let some of the clan elites stand out and tilt the clan's interests to them, the ordinary clansmen will inevitably be a little dissatisfied."

"After the differentiation is intensified, the child will find a prince to show off and act as a deterrent."

"Spend some more money and let ordinary tribesmen give up their clan status and become ordinary nobles."

"Finally expand the scope and confirm it with the law!"

"In any case, the clan will not be allowed to form an independent force."

Qin Shihuang glanced at Zhao Lang with a complicated expression.

"Who do you want to use to establish your authority?"

Zhao Lang thought for a while and did not say it immediately. Instead, he smiled and said,

"Dad, I have already thought about it, but you should also have someone to choose from. How about we write down the name at the same time?"

Qin Shihuang was slightly startled, but he also found it somewhat interesting, so he nodded.

The next moment, Zhao Gao, who was listening to the conversation between the two, had already prepared a pen and cloth.

Soon, both of them wrote their names.

Zhao Lang smiled at this time and said,

"Dad, come out together."

The two of them put down the cloth at the same time, and two identical names appeared on the table.

Hu Hai.

"Hahaha."

The two of them laughed almost at the same time, and Qin Shihuang said,

"Well, it would be appropriate for Hai'er to do this task."

Hu Hai's ability to cause trouble is unquestionable.

As long as Zhao Lang relaxes a little, Hu Hai will naturally cause trouble.

Qin Shihuang felt slightly relaxed at this time. To be honest, he originally thought that Zhao Lang would take the opportunity to retaliate against Fusu and Gao.

Zhao Gao on the side looked at the two people laughing and chatting, and he admired Zhao Lang even more in his heart.

To be honest, it is not a pleasant thing to use your own brother to scare the monkeys.

But Zhao Lang used tricks to turn this into an interesting thing.

And in this way, the one who really makes the decision can be regarded as His Majesty.

The key to making His Majesty so happy is something most people can't even think about, let alone do.

As for Hu Hai, he will always make mistakes anyway, why not let the other party make some useful mistakes?

After laughing, Qin Shihuang continued to ask,

"What will you do with those elite tribesmen?"

Zhao Lang was startled for a moment and replied,

"Of course it's important. Since he is talented, why should the child care about his clan status?"

Qin Shihuang's eyes were slightly bright. Zhao Lang's tolerance meant that he didn't need to worry, so he nodded and said,

"You have a good idea, but there must be repetitions in it."

"The elders in the clan are not fools either!"

Zhao Lang said with a smile,

"It doesn't matter, the clan is still used now, and the child is still young. The child can survive those clan elders."

Qin Shihuang couldn't help being stunned, and then laughed,

"Okay, okay, I'll just wait..."

Speaking of this, Qin Shihuang suddenly stopped.

He may not be able to wait any longer.

Zhao Gao's expression on the side also changed slightly.

The room was a little quiet for a while, but Zhao Lang didn't seem to notice the situation and changed the topic with a smile.

"Dad, I haven't had time to tell you in detail about the situation on the grassland."

After hearing this, Qin Shihuang also cheered up.

"Dad also wants to know how those barbarian cavalry invited by Goguryeo became your people."

He naturally knew about the Hu cavalry entering Liaodong.

Zhao Lang hesitated for a moment and said,

"Dad, Xiaoliu and Xi haven't told you?"

He also knew the identity of Xiaoliu and Xi, and they also knew the development of the tribe.

"Yes, I mentioned something, but the distance is too long, so the details are not detailed."

Qin Shihuang knew that Zhao Lang had a retreat on the grassland, but he didn't know when this retreat became so powerful!

Those are thousands of barbarian cavalry!

A force that cannot be underestimated!

Zhao Lang nodded slightly. It seemed that due to the closure of the grassland, the news was not so easy to convey.

"Dad, in fact, most of the Donghu Royal Court has now fallen into the control of the child."

Zhao Lang said directly.

"What!?"

Qin Shihuang was so shocked that he almost stood up.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Donghu tribe!

The royal court is their center!

By taking control of the Royal Court, Da Qin would have more than 100,000 more cavalry!

Even though Zhao Lang said it himself, Qin Shihuang still asked with a bit of disbelief,

"This is real!?"

Zhao Lang nodded,

"It's just that we haven't achieved absolute control yet."

Zhao Lang quickly told his father about the general situation of the Tianshen tribe.

"The development of the Tianshen tribe was still too rapid. Fortunately, the Huns took away most of the nobles, weakening their control over ordinary tribesmen."

"Now the Celestial Tribe is trying its best to win over ordinary tribesmen, and it has some effects."

"But we still can't control the whole situation."

After hearing the plight of the Tianshen tribe, Qin Shihuang felt more relieved and said,

"I see, Lang'er, you like to take risks. You need to change your temper."

"But once you succeed, you will make countless profits!"

Listening to his father's evaluation, Zhao Lang couldn't help but smack his lips. His teacher Kong Jia also said the same.

"Dad, don't worry, there is still the threat of the Huns outside, and there won't be any big problems with the Hu people."

Zhao Lang consoled him.

Qin Shihuang nodded,

"This way, Dad will feel relieved."

"The Huns have also been restless recently. They must have learned about the internal news of Da Qin."

"Meng Tian reported that there are more Huns spies on the border than usual, testing the strength of our army."

"It seems that if the border is empty, they will take advantage of it."

Zhao Lang frowned and said,

"Dad, can the frontier still hold on?"

Qin Shihuang said calmly,

"Don't worry, with Meng Tian watching over them, they won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Meng Tian also said that the method you used before was very good. Meng Tian has asked nearly 100,000 civilians and soldiers to dig holes outside the border."

"Many Huns' horses were damaged."

"You kid, how did you get this heart?"

Speaking of this, Qin Shihuang couldn't help laughing.

"One hundred thousand civilians and soldiers digging holes?"

Zhao Lang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this number.

A picture couldn't help but emerge in my mind.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a group of Huns cavalry was running wantonly. Their goal was to detect the movements of the Qin army.

Suddenly, the cavalry at the front fell to the ground, and the others ducked, but eventually fell down.

Even if their riding skills are superb, the horse's legs will still break if they should!

Even in the prairie, horses are important property!

Think about it again, if 100,000 people dig holes, will there be a good place near the Great Wall?

I'm afraid they are all potholes! ?

Just thinking about it, Zhao Lang couldn't help but mourn for a while for those Huns cavalry.

Even if the other party wants to fill the holes, they can't. Let's not talk about how to find those holes. As long as these people dare to get close, the crossbow arrows on the Great Wall will not be spared!

From this point of view, the border is still very stable.

Qin Shihuang looked slightly solemn at this time and said,

"But always defending is not the answer. The border consumption is too great."

"Lang'er, what can you do?"

Hundreds of thousands of people are at the border, and the simplest thing is food.

Even if each person only has one kilogram of grain per day, that’s hundreds of thousands of kilograms!

Coupled with transportation costs, etc., the consumption is too terrible.

Zhao Lang thought for a while and said,

"Dad, I do have a way, but it's not mature yet. I'll see when the time comes."

Zhao Lang had already planned how to deal with the Huns cavalry.

Gunpowder is not a vegetarian either.

But the question is, how can we make these Huns stop in place and let them explode?

And it is best to kill more Huns at once, otherwise the Huns will know that these are not thunders.

If you want to deal with the other party again, it won't be that easy.

Seeing Zhao Lang frowning, Qin Shihuang smiled and comforted,

"It doesn't matter, there will always be a way."

"Lang'er, you should complete the canonization ceremony now. It will be more convenient for you to do many things later."

“It’s justifiable and important.”

Zhao Lang nodded in agreement.

After discussing for a while, Qin Shihuang quickly stood up and

"Lang'er, dad will..."

Before Qin Shihuang finished speaking, his body suddenly shook.

"father!"

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Gao quickly stabilized the opponent.

Zhao Lang also arrived.

Qin Shihuang stood up and said,

"It's okay, Dad, it's just that my legs are a little numb."

Zhao Lang felt slightly relieved now. There was indeed a problem with kneeling, but he still asked,

"Dad, are you feeling better?"

Before Qin Shihuang spoke, Zhao Gao replied worriedly,

"Sir, Your Majesty, he is too tired. He handles government affairs until late at night every day..."

But before Zhao Gao could finish speaking, Qin Shihuang frowned and said,

"eventful!"

Zhao Gao suddenly hesitated and did not dare to say anything more.

Zhao Lang could only frown and said,

"Dad, you should also take care of yourself."

Qin Shihuang nodded and said with a smile,

"Dad knows. After this period of time, you can come and help dad."

"Okay, you should rest early. It's rare to rest for a few days."

After saying that, he walked outside.

Zhao Lang walked to the door, and after his father left, he said to the slave outside the door,

"Slave, send a message to Mr. Qin and ask him to come to Xianyang!"

The slave nodded, but it was already dark now, so he could only wait until he left the palace tomorrow morning.

After he came back, he also asked Mr. Qin about his father's situation.

Mr. Qin just said, rest more, take medicine on time, and then look forward to it.

But he didn't say it clearly again.

He has always felt that his father was like a mountain.

Standing tall and indestructible!

But just now, he really felt his father's weakness!

Looking at the direction his father was leaving, Zhao Lang murmured to himself,

"Dad, when I calm down Chu Di, I will come back to help you."

At this time, Qin Shihuang had returned to his palace,

"Cough cough cough..."

There was a dull coughing sound in the palace.

Zhao Gao looked at Qin Shi Huang with great concern,

"Your Majesty, this old slave is going to summon the Qinyue people right now!"

Qin Shihuang waved his hand and said,

"It's okay with me, don't be too troublesome and make Lang'er worry again."

"Lang'er must hurry up on the matter of canonizing the prince. Even if it is a little crude, don't lose momentum."

Zhao Gao could only respond.

"I want to rest, please step back."

Zhao Gao retreated as instructed.

The palace fell into darkness, and after a while, there was a sigh.

In the next two days, Zhao Lang had a relatively leisurely life. He took a rest and sorted out his thoughts.

People still can't be busy all the time, they need to take some time to think.

"Brother Lang! We are here to see you!"

On the last day of the confinement, Hu Hai's voice sounded outside Zhao Lang's palace.

Zhao Lang saw Hu Hai and Ying Yinman arriving at the door together.

Seeing Ying Yinman, Zhao Lang said hello slightly unnaturally,

"Man, long time no see."

Ying Yinman also shouted with a warm face,

"Alang."

According to the previous rules, Ying Yinman should also call him Brother Lang.

But now that he knows his identity, some of the things that happened before are slightly embarrassing.

Fortunately, I have always kept myself clean!

Hu Hai didn't notice this at all, but said excitedly,

"Brother Lang, everyone is talking about your crown prince canonization ceremony!"

"Hahaha, you must let me stand next to you when the time comes!"

He could imagine that there would be a huge crowd of people and loud gongs and drums!

How could such a scene be possible without him?

Zhao Lang said angrily,

"My ceremonial guards have all been divided. When the time comes, this ceremony will not be so majestic."

"ah?"

Hearing this, Hu Hai clicked his lips in disappointment.

Zhao Lang replied,

"Stop it, apart from these, what other news do you have?"

Hu Hai perked up at this time and said,

"Brother Lang, it's true. I heard that Fusu and Gao planned to do something that day."

Zhao Lang narrowed his eyes slightly,

"These two people are really not afraid of death!"
