Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 427 I think the time has come for the eldest son to establish a heir apparent!

Li Si was indeed right...

Feng Quji was already on his way to the home of Wang Wan, the right minister in the opposition.

Old Wang Wan calmly ordered the maid at home to serve tea, and asked Feng Quji to sit down and said slowly: "This is a newly released drink recently. It is slightly bitter in the mouth, but has a sweet aftertaste. Compared with buttermilk wine, it has a different flavor. It is quite It has a pure and elegant meaning, Dr. Feng can give it a try.”

Feng Quji looked closely when he heard the sound, and saw that it was tea. He waved his hand and said, "I also have this kind of drink at home, but I prefer to add spiced milk, but I am not used to eating it this way."

As Zhao Si spared no effort to promote it, the First Emperor gradually fell in love with drinking tea.

This thing does have a refreshing effect. Moreover, there were not many drinks in this era. The First Emperor was not fond of strong flavors and his body was not suitable for drinking too much. Therefore, tea quickly entered the daily life of the First Emperor.

It is precisely because of this that Sangong and Jiuqing gradually learned about this kind of thing.

Naturally, there are people who follow the trend in the rich and powerful families. As Li Si, Wang Wan and others tried to ask Zhao Si for tea through personal connections and gradually became accustomed to it, the powerful class also ushered in a new trend.

Drink tea...

Of course, for now, it is only popular among the high-ranking elites in Xianyang.

This thing is what Zhao Si plans to use to open up world trade. He has not yet put all his efforts into promoting it, and planting, frying, etc. have not officially begun to become popular, so most people don't even have channels to contact it.

Being able to take out tea at such times is undoubtedly a status symbol.

"That shows that Dr. Feng's heart is not calm enough, but it is also true that Dr. Feng is still living as a third official, but I have returned home without work. After all, there is no comparison." Wang Wan smiled and teased a few words.

However, Feng Quji had no intention of joking with Wang Wan, so he said in a deep voice: "How do you eat the tea? Please put it aside for now. I have something important to tell the right minister."

"The right minister is Li Si, not me..." Wang Wan shook her head.

"Okay, when is it..." Feng Quji showed impatience on his face.

When Wang Wan heard the sound, the expression on his face became serious. He looked at the maids around him and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please step aside!"

After saying that, the left and right screens retreated and there was no one there. Wang Wan looked at Feng Quji and said: "I'm curious, what kind of big event is it that makes Doctor Feng rush out of the palace regardless of dereliction of duty? Come and inform this old fellow who is idle at home."

"It's a long story... I'll keep it short." Feng Quji rubbed his forehead.

"Shangqing Zhao Si is the child of the eldest son Fusu who was lost in the wilderness, and is your majesty's eldest grandson!"

What Feng Quji said was indeed brief enough, and the news was indeed explosive enough. Wang Wan, who was still drinking tea freely, was choked by the tea and couldn't cough up. She quickly held the table with one hand and held the table with the other. He hammered his chest hard with one hand. Seeing this, Feng Quji hurriedly stepped forward and slapped Wang Wan on the back.

Wang Wan was old after all. After holding it in for a long time, she summoned up the strength to cough. As a result, her eyes were bloodshot and her face turned red. When she sat down again, she still had some lingering fear on her face.

When Feng Quji saw that Wang Wan was fine after all, he said with fear and ridicule: "Now it seems that even if the Right Prime Minister is idle at home, his heart is not peaceful enough."

"It's not that I'm restless, but that this kind of thing sounds a little too ridiculous at first glance... What on earth is... ahem... going on?" Wang Wan rubbed her chest, which was sore from coughing.

"Your Majesty did not say anything specific, but I see that Your Majesty has no intention of hiding it. He plans to use the mouth of the three princes to tell all the officials that it won't be long before Zhao Si recognizes his ancestors and pays homage to his ancestors. I'm afraid this is also to let all officials have some experience. Be prepared." Feng Quji said.

"That's it..." Wang Wan nodded and fell into deep thought.

Feng Quji didn't bother him when he saw this, and waited quietly for Wang Wan to analyze the situation.

However, after waiting for a long time, Wang Wan still didn't speak. Feng Quji finally couldn't bear it any longer. After pondering for a long time, he asked: "Prince Prime Minister, on this occasion, the matter of establishing the eldest son as a heir..."

Originally, according to everyone's unspoken agreement, Fusu returned home with the credit for repelling the Xiongnu this time, which was when they submitted a letter to establish the throne.

What they didn't expect was that before they were ready, Fusu entered the palace because of Hu Hai's demotion, and angered the First Emperor.

How long did they wait from the time Fusu was ordered to go to Longxi to the time Fusu returned to Xianyang? It was originally a drama about the return of the Dragon King, but Fusu was in trouble.

This also led to the interruption of the long-planned establishment of a reserve.

There was no other way. At the critical moment when Fusu angered the First Emperor, he wrote a letter requesting the First Emperor to establish the crown prince. This was not to fight for Fusu's position as crown prince, but to make Fusu go to Longxi again...

Among them, the most uncomfortable one is Wang Wan.

He even gave up his position as the head of the three princes and resigned voluntarily in order to support Su and establish the throne.

As a result, because of Fusu, the position of the head of the three princes was lost, and the matter of establishing the crown prince was forced to interrupt.

Although Wang Wan's right-hand minister is in name only, he basically sits in that position to provide for his old age, but he is also the head of a hundred officials in name only!

Therefore, when Wang Wan decided to kill Hu Hai, in addition to preventing Fusu from causing trouble because of Hu Hai, he also wanted to vent his anger.

Well...although it was Fusu who did the stupid thing.

After this incident, Wang Wan and Feng Quji discussed and decided to stay dormant for the time being and wait for the limelight to pass before raising the matter of establishing a heir. After all, the First Emperor was angry and was not a fool. Although the First Emperor had eighteen children, after eliminating the wrong options , there is really not much room for choice.

And now, after dormant for so long, people will almost die if they stay dormant any longer...

Feng Quji, who heard the good news for the first time, naturally couldn't sit still.

"The matter of establishing a crown prince..." Wang Wan frowned and fell into deep thought.

"In your opinion, what is Your Majesty's attitude after Zhao Si's life experience is revealed?" Wang Wan asked.

"When His Majesty summoned the three princes today, Zhao Si served in front of the king and sat with His Majesty. Moreover, the place where Zhao Si now lives daily is His Majesty's old residence.

It can be seen from this that Your Majesty loves Zhao Si very much! The Prime Minister just said to wait for the opportunity, but now, what does the Prime Minister think of the opportunity? Feng Quji asked.

"The time has come!" Wang Wan heard about the First Emperor's attitude towards Zhao Si, and finally showed a smile on his face that parted the clouds and saw the light.

"Then what does the right minister think we should do next?" Feng Quji asked.

"Among the three princes, Li Si definitely doesn't like the eldest son, and the Taiwei has been inactive for a long time and is very wise and wise in protecting himself. Therefore, he will not interfere in this kind of matter. In the end, I am afraid that you are the only one who has the qualifications and reputation to take the lead in completing this matter. Now that you have found me, I am afraid you have already made a plan in your mind to let me support you, right?" Wang Wan looked at Feng Quji.

"Although the Right Prime Minister is unemployed, he still has a keen eye for fire!" Feng Quji sighed with emotion on his face when he heard this.

"In this case, why do you need to ask me about everything? The appointment of the eldest son as a heir is an urgent matter. It is good for you and me, so there is no need for this." Wang Wan said.

The reason why Feng Quji still respects Wang Wan even though he is the third prince is that Wang Wan's energy and status are higher and greater than his.

The right prime minister is the head of all officials!

Having been able to operate in this position for so many years, even if he is now unemployed, his political influence will not be reduced.

"I'm afraid I might be wrong about the holy intention..." Feng Quji sighed after hearing the sound.

He had tried so many times to support Su Lichu but failed. To be honest, Feng Quji was also suffering from PTSD.

"Although I already have a general understanding in my heart, I still need to be confirmed by your right minister. Otherwise, I will really feel uneasy."

Feng Quji is several years younger than Wang Wan, but since they are all over sixty, they cannot be considered young. This age difference can be ignored.

"In fact, in my opinion, there is no need to worry about gains and losses. Since Your Majesty allows Young Master Si to live in the old residence, stay in the palace, and accompany you with court affairs, it is an attitude.

If the crown prince is not established, the country will be in trouble and stability. How can your majesty not understand this truth? "Wang Wan said.

"What the right minister means is that your majesty may also have the intention of establishing a heir apparent?" Feng Quji asked.

"I don't know if there are any, but you and I have worked together in the court for many years. Is there really a minister who can change your mind about something that His Majesty doesn't want to do?" Wang Wan asked.

Feng Quji was silent for a moment and nodded. This is the most difficult thing about working under a very assertive king. It is very likely that when something happens, he has already figured everything out. No matter what happens next, no one can reverse his situation. will.

And when doing things under such a king, the most important thing is probably to figure out what one wants.

"Now it seems that His Majesty has the intention to establish a throne, but I always feel that it will not be that simple..." Wang Wan pondered deeply.

"However, on this occasion, there is no other way. The opportunity is rare. It is best to take this opportunity to finalize the matter of establishing a reserve. We will discuss other matters later."

Feng Quji nodded when he heard the sound and said: "I think so too. I plan to inform the old clan first to see what they mean. After Master Si recognizes his ancestors and returns to the clan to kowtow and worship his ancestors, I will report it to His Majesty. When the time comes to propose the establishment of a heir, the king will also need to cooperate..."

In fact, there is nothing good to plan...

It's nothing more than everyone joining together to submit a letter.

You can't always give advice...

In the end, it still depends on the First Emperor whether to establish a heir or not, but Feng Quji feels that this is the right time...

"Fortunately... Gongzi Si is the son of the eldest son, not the emperor!" Feng Quji sighed for no reason after finishing his thoughts.

After all, the First Emperor's love for Zhao Si was too much.

In the past, the First Emperor only took Hu Hai to hunt a few times after Fusu was demoted to Longxi, but they were so anxious that they almost burst into tears, and each of them felt like they were facing a formidable enemy...

Later, when Fusu angered the First Emperor and Hu Hai was appointed by the First Emperor to accompany him on a grand tour of the world, they almost couldn't help but take action.

Good thing...

Hu Hai would take action on his own and kill himself on the way to patrol the world. Otherwise, even if Hu Hai is not stupid, when the First Emperor's carriage returns to Xianyang, there will be no less actions against Hu Hai.

That's just a little closer than other emperors.

It was nothing more than a few hunting trips and a few meals.

Zhao Si already lived directly in the palace where the First Emperor lived when he was a child. The First Emperor almost told everyone that this is my great grandson...

"If Young Master Si is the emperor's son, there is no need for you and me to fight. We can just switch to another place." Wang Wan smiled when he heard this.

It's a pity that Zhao Si is not a son but a grandson. If he were a son, his life experience would be revealed today, he would recognize his ancestor and return to the clan tomorrow, and he would be directly established as the crown prince on the third day.

I'm afraid they won't even have a chance to take action.

Are you still fighting for the position of crown prince? Fight for a hammer.

Fusu did have many supporters and was indeed powerful, but the First Emperor was equivalent to half of the founding emperors...

In this matter, the ministers really couldn't stop the First Emperor from going his own way.

They are willing to charge for Fusu, but only if Fusu can win and they can get rewards.

Naturally, they would not do a business that cost them nothing.

"Let's inform the old clan first. After Young Master Si recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan, he can give it a try..." Feng Quji nodded and said.

Time... passed quietly because of this.

As a party involved, Fusu began the first round of negotiations with the Daqin clan.

For the clan, it is of course a top priority to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan, especially for children who grew up among the people to be included in the clan.

Fortunately, the evidence chain is relatively complete.

Both parents, Zhao Ying and Fusu, are still alive and can recall the details of that year.

Moreover, there are various physical witnesses in the middle, so after careful screening by the clan, Zhao Si's life experience can be basically finalized.

Of course, this is not enough to conclude Zhao Si’s identity.

The clan is responsible for actual evidence, but in this era there is no DNA forensics. Even with a complete chain of evidence, there is no guarantee that Zhao Si is 100% Fusu's child.

So Zhao Si, the person involved, was also invited.

But what Zhao Si didn't expect was...

He actually had to be stripped naked. Not only was he stripped naked, he was also turned around and looked at by several old men, looking at his body and even his hair inch by inch.

"It's right to have strong hair and double spins on your head. I remember that your majesty and the late king are like this, and the eldest son is also like this."

"The little finger is slightly longer than the average person, that's right."

"Hu Xing is right too..."

Zhao Si really didn't expect that the clan in this era would be so rigorous, and would even start to identify them through simple genetics.

It's just that their identification is to identify similar sexual characteristics.

To put it bluntly, the purpose is to find similarities between Zhao Si and the Qin clan’s sexual characteristics rather than differences.

It's easy to find differences. After all, there are thousands of people with different faces.

Finding common sexual characteristics is not like identifying, but more like strengthening the credibility of Zhao Si's identity.

Unless Zhao Si has very few characteristics in common with the Qin clan, his identity can basically be determined.

So, there's a little bit of science, but just a little bit.

In short, the elders of the clan have basically done everything they can, and they have done it rigorously enough. They even recorded the similarities between Zhao Si and previous clan clans in a serious way.

At this point, Zhao Si's identity is still not 100% certain.

Therefore, naturally the last step is left.

Leave all this to Xuan Huan...

Ah no, leave it to the ancestors of Great Qin.

It was up to them to come forward in person to tell whether Zhao Si was a descendant of the Qin clan.

Melting bones and acknowledging relatives!

But not now...

Opening the coffin and breaking ground has always been a big event...

First of all, it is not certain to dig the graves of previous kings.

But fortunately, the clan has lasted for such a long time, and many clan members have died, not just the late king.

But this matter has to be debated internally for a long time. Who wants their ancestors to have their coffins opened?

(Melding bones to recognize a relative requires the witness of the ancestors. It probably means that you have melted in. It means that the ancestors said yes. It does not have to be a direct ancestor.)
