Chapter 242 The good news comes to Xianyang
Xianyang, because it is closed for bathing today, Fan Zeng invited a few friends to a restaurant somewhere for a gathering.
In the history that should have happened, Great Qin did not have a fixed holiday day, but due to the changes brought about by Li Nian, Great Qin also had a holiday day.
These friends only met after Fan Zeng arrived in Xianyang. They all participated in the Xianyang Examination. According to the name of the imperial examination in later generations, they can be said to be in the same year.
A few people were having a banquet in the box and talking about some things, but men, what can they talk about when they get together?
Maybe they would talk about beauties and anecdotes at the beginning, but the conversation would often turn into talking about the past and the present, discussing the world's affairs, what changes have occurred in one's own court, and what changes have occurred in the world.
Some women think that men will always talk about them when they get together, which is a typical assumption. In fact, when men get together, they don’t talk much about women-related topics.
Fan Zeng finally boarded Da Qin's ship, but according to his thinking, he was not rebelling against Chu, but infiltrating the enemy to find Da Qin's flaws and prepare for Da Chu's restoration.
He was discussing with several friends the current Qin strategy towards foreign countries, and one person said: "I heard that the Qin Dynasty has established diplomatic relations with the Xiongnu, and will jointly build a city on the border for the purpose of trade between the two sides."
The establishment of diplomatic relations between the Xiongnu and the Qin Dynasty was not concealed, but informed. Of course, only the part that could be disclosed was disclosed.
Another person said: "This is a good thing for the Qin Dynasty. It has been decided today that the Qin Dynasty is in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. The Huns have many cattle and horses. It is just a good time to buy cattle and horses from the Huns and bring them back for farming."
Another person said: "It is said that the Huns want to Send people to Xianyang to study If they learn the knowledge of the Qin Dynasty, will they make themselves enemies of the Qin Dynasty? "
There are five people in the box, except Fan Zeng. One person laughed and said: "I won't be an enemy. One is that what they learn will definitely be limited, and they can learn it if they don’t want to;"
"The second is that even if they have gained something from what they have learned, they must have the corresponding realm to apply it, which can be used in Da Qin. Such arithmetic may not be available in the Xiongnu! , Check things, even if they learn it, where will they be used after they return to the Xiongnu? "
"Thirdly, the Xiongnu are barbarians, with a small country and a small population. They don't know etiquette or counting. How can they be compared with each other? Compared with Da Qin? ”
Fan Zeng said with a smile: "Fan also thought the same thing. However, the Qin Dynasty allowed the Huns to send people to study in Xianyang. It may also be intended to influence the Huns, because the people who can be sent to study are definitely not Xiongnu herdsmen or slaves, but Xiongnu leaders. Son or confidant. ”
"If these people live in Xianyang for a long time, write the characters of Da Qin, learn the language of Da Qin, and speak the language of Da Qin, how will they be different from the people of Qin? If they return to the Xiongnu one day and see that the Xiongnu is different from Da Qin, what will they do? What to think, how to do it?”
One person replied: "It must be imitating the Qin Dynasty and changing the Huns!"
Fan Zeng nodded and said: "That's right! The Qin Dynasty established diplomatic relations with the Xiongnu and the two sides were engaged in trade. They should also have this idea. Since trade To take advantage of the Xiongnu is also to influence the Xiongnu and make them "
The other people who can participate in the Xianyang Examination are naturally not stupid. After listening to Fan Zeng's words, thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that the matter is exactly what their brother Fan said, and Da Qin wants to influence it. The Xiongnu turned it into the shape of Qin.
One person asked: "No one among the Huns has noticed this?" Fan Zeng picked up a piece of grilled fish and put the fish into his mouth. Fan Zeng remembered something that happened recently. He likes to eat fish. , but the doctors in Xianyang said that fish breasts contain tiny substances that are difficult to see with the naked eye, and long-term consumption will cause illness, so he does not dare to eat them now.
What else did those doctors say? Close relatives should not marry. If they did, the children would be more likely to be deformed. Fortunately, he did not marry his cousin back then, otherwise he would have given birth to a child. The son with no nose and no eyes...
Just thinking about it makes Fan Zenghou scared. In addition to these, there is water that is best boiled and drunk; it is not the woman who gives birth to a boy or girl, but the man; do not spit on people casually, human saliva also contains tiny things, if someone is sick , the tiny things that cause illness can be passed on to others through the spit.
He had never heard of these anecdotes for so many years, but now he heard them when he came to Xianyang. He also knew why the doctors had spread these rumors. It was all because of Mr. Li Nian in Liuying Palace.
That man was so knowledgeable that he not only knew the major events in the world and was able to govern the country, but he was also able to make all kinds of exquisite things, and now he was also involved in medical skills.
With that person around, Fan Zeng felt that his hoped-for restoration of Chu was far away, but he really couldn't think of any way to get rid of that person.
That man was highly regarded by the Emperor of Qin. According to his observation, the bodyguards were only inferior to the Emperor of Qin. Those young masters were not as good as him. How could he be eliminated?
Furthermore, his perception of that man was quite complicated. On the one hand, he knew that unless he was eliminated, his dream of regaining Chu would be hopeless. But on the other hand, he admired that man's heart for the world. It can be said that the sage of their time does not want to serve him, but also wants to get rid of him?
Suppressing the thoughts welling up in his heart and swallowing the fish meat in his mouth, Fan Zeng said: "So what if you see it, so what if you don't see it?"
"I heard that the Xiongnu were ruled by the Shanyu and the leaders. Although the Shanyu was the co-owner, he had no sole hegemony. It would be difficult for them to unite as one. Moreover, the Xiongnu had lost their courage in the previous war. How could they dare to rebel against the Qin Dynasty? "
There are some words that Fan Zeng did not say. I am afraid that Da Qin wanted to let the top leaders of the Xiongnu become corrupt and indulge in the pleasure that Da Qin brought them, and eventually be swallowed up by Da Qin with their skin and bones."
This strategy for establishing diplomatic relations between the Qin Dynasty and the Xiongnu was probably also written by that young master. Although he was young, he was extremely talented. There was no other sage in ancient times than this!
One person was about to say something else. At this moment, a burst of noise came from outside. Listen carefully, it seemed to be saying "good news" and "great victory", but where did the great victory come from? As they walked in the palace, they didn't know that Da Qin had recently started a war with someone.
One person opened the door of the box and walked out. He happened to meet several diners who were talking about the matter, and asked: "Where did the good news come from? Who are you fighting with?"
A diner laughed and said: "It's normal for me not to know. The good news just spread in Xianyang City. I only found out after my servant came to report it. I was about to go and see what happened."
"It is said that it is. Marquis Tongwu fought a victorious battle in the east and annihilated A group of rebels organized by the six princes, some of whom have heard of it before, like the one named Song..."
Another diner on the side said: "The name is Song Yi, who was the original commander of the Chu Kingdom. Yin!”
The diner nodded: “Yes, His name is Song Yi. This man was able to escape when Da Qin destroyed Chu. This time he was not so lucky. He was finally caught by Tong Wuhou. It was a pity that a King of Chu named Xiong Xin escaped. Ah, one person dies and another one comes. It won’t be long before another one comes out. "Really?"
The diners sighed: "It's true that these people were once princes, so what if they were nobles? They were just living a good life, but your Majesty didn't care about them?" ”
