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

Chapter 456 Mother, Son, Uncle, Nephew and Relatives

It is expected that all schools of thought will compete among themselves and that a hundred schools of thought will contend.

It looks good, but academic struggles bleed and kill people.

The academic struggle in the barbaric form has one and only one goal, and that is to dominate one family.

Without intervention, there is only one possibility, which is to depose hundreds of schools of thought and only focus on Confucianism.

Of course, it does not necessarily mean that Confucianism will win the final victory, but the result will be that one family will dominate the world.

"It's a good idea..." The First Emperor nodded.

In terms of academics, the First Emperor actually thought about it.

The character of the First Emperor was bound to not allow academics to influence the emperor's decision-making. Therefore, even though Legalism was at its peak, in fact the First Emperor still did not exterminate all other schools of thought.

Although he liked "Five Worms" and "Xianxue" written by Han Feizi very much, the various schools of thought still had a glimmer of hope.

Hundreds of schools of thought still exist, and kings still have choices.

Following the advice of one family, when the academic world becomes as inclusive as the Qin Dynasty, the king will have no choice.

It can give you prominence in one life, but it cannot give you wealth in all eternity.

Let everyone see where there is life and fight for it.

Although Zhao Si's idea is only a bud, this starting point is excellent.

At least Zhao Si can have this concern, which is beyond many people.

Again, the more I look at my beloved saint-grandson, the more I like him. The First Emperor thought that his own thoughts influenced Zhao Si to have such thoughts, but in fact it was only Zhao Si who had more ideas because of his change of identity. Be careful.

At this time and in this position, is there any reason not to make progress?

The grandfather and grandson were chatting happily, but the warmth was broken by the order of the CRRC Mansion.

The First Emperor looked at Qian, and saw Qian looking at Zhao Si with a troubled expression. The First Emperor understood what he was thinking, pondered for a moment, walked out of the house and walked a little further away, then looked at Qian and said, "Speaking of, what's the matter?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the young master's mother knitted winter clothes for the young master and sent them to the palace. I don't dare to make a decision, so I am asking for your Majesty's instructions."

After hearing this, the First Emperor was silent for a moment and asked: "But it was woven with his own hands?"

"Your Majesty, every stitch and every thread was taken from the palace. It was indeed woven by my own hands."

The First Emperor nodded: "Where are the clothes?"

Qian waved his hand, and the palace servants waiting outside the palace gate immediately presented them with clothes.

The First Emperor picked it up with one hand and looked at it for a moment. He saw the exquisite patterns and fine stitching on it. He nodded and chuckled: "It's quite thoughtful."

"Then..." Qian probed cautiously.

After Gongzi Xie and Zhao Si's biological mother were sent to Xianyang to confirm Zhao Si's identity, they were placed under house arrest by the First Emperor.

In fact, the inner emotions of the First Emperor were somewhat complicated.

He has a strong desire to control Zhao Si, on the one hand because Zhao Si was personally taught by him in a sense, and on the other hand because Zhao Si is his only family concern.

Regarding Fusu, it was because of different political views that he deliberately made it difficult for father and son to get close to each other.

Of course, it was not a malicious order that Zhao Si was not allowed to go, it was just that Zhao Si's daily schedule was so full that Zhao Si had no way to escape.

As for Zhao Si himself, he really had no feelings for Fusu, so naturally he didn't expect this.

As for Zhao Si's biological mother Zhao Ying and uncle Gongzi Xie, the First Emperor's impression was not good either.

First of all, Gongzi Xie is a fool.

Secondly, Gongzi Xie is a rebel.

To sum it up, stupid and bad.

However, he was still the biological uncle of his beloved grandson, so it was understandable that he did not want Zhao Si to get close to the young master.

As for Zhao Ying...

In the eyes of the First Emperor, no matter what the reason, the first point that cannot be avoided is that Zhao Ying abandoned his great grandson.

If someone hadn't picked it up, if he hadn't come back safely from the sea, if his life experience hadn't been revealed...

If something unexpected happens in the middle, Zhao Si's life may be over.

And I may not know that I have a grandson until my death.

How can a grandfather not feel sorry for his eldest grandson?

As for Zhao Si? Because of amnesia and time travel, he behaves relatively indifferently. Moreover, he cannot empathize with these things, so he has no feelings, but there is no resentment.

But the First Emperor was different, that was his own grandson.

He had to make the decision for his grandson. This was a mess caused by Fusu and Zhao Ying, a pair of incompetent parents.

It doesn't hurt my parents, it hurts being a grandpa.

Therefore, the current situation has been caused for various reasons.

only……

The First Emperor looked at the dense stitches and some wrong places on the winter coat, and seemed to remember something. After all, his heart softened, and he waved his hand and said: "Send it over..."

After that, he stood there with his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky.

After receiving the instructions from the First Emperor, Qian bowed and saluted, tidied up the clothes spread out by the First Emperor, bowed, carefully walked around the Emperor, came to the palace, and presented the clothes to Zhao Si.

"I...the clothes my mother knitted for me?"

Zhao Si looked at the winter clothes placed on the table with surprise on his face.

He used to only think that he was an orphan, but now of course he knows his father and mother.

but……

Zhao Si looked at the clothes in front of him and found it hard to empathize.

After all, getting along with the First Emperor day and night was different.

Father Fusu, mother Zhao Ying, and Zhao Si have never gotten along.

And since he is a time traveler, the so-called blood origin cannot be fulfilled in him.

Zhao Si picked up the clothes and looked at them carefully. He could still see the dense stitches and some occasional omissions.

Different from Yu Ji's tricks, Zhao Si could see that this dress was knitted stitch by stitch.

"Alas..." Zhao Si sighed.

Mother?

It’s such a far-fetched word...

It's so far away that it seems like I didn't even hear about it in my previous life.

"Go and have a look..." the dull voice of the First Emperor sounded in Zhao Si's ears.

Zhao Si turned around in surprise.

The First Emperor's expression was as if nothing had happened, but also seemed to be mixed with some complexity.

"Go and see your mother and uncle..."

Zhao Si heard the sound, was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

No matter what, it can't be avoided.

The status of parents cannot be restrained after all.

The First Emperor understood this, and so did Zhao Si.

Zhao Si nodded when he heard the sound and walked towards the door.

Under the leadership of the palace servants, Zhao Si quickly came to the palace where his biological mother Zhao Ying and his uncle Gongzi Xie were under house arrest.

Just entered...

Zhao Si heard the sound of rapid footsteps.

"Si'er, you're finally here!" Mr. Xie ran so fast that one of his shoes even flew off. He ran to Zhao Si with joy and held his hands on Zhao Si's shoulders, with joy on his feet. smile.

The young master shook Zhao Si's shoulders vigorously with a smile on his face as he rested his feet. What was embarrassing was that Zhao Si did not move at all.

"I never heard your mother mention it before... It wasn't until I rushed to Xianyang that I learned that there was actually a nephew missing. It has been a hard time for me for so many years."

Gongzi Xie's enthusiasm made Zhao Si a little at a loss, although he could feel that Gongzi Xie's enthusiasm was just an act.

"It's not bitter... traveling overseas has a different flavor." Zhao Si smiled and shook his head.

"If I had known about this incident earlier, why would I have wandered overseas?" Young Master sighed.

Zhao Si smiled twice...

Come on, if Zhao Ying takes her back, she might be forced to follow Young Master Xie in rebellion...

The uncle and nephew exchanged pleasantries with unfamiliarity and embarrassment.

Prince Xie wanted to get close to Zhao Si very much.

Although Zhao Ying always said that Gongzi Xie was stupid, Gongzi Xie thought that he was still very smart. At least he knew now that his eldest nephew Zhao Si was his hope to escape from house arrest.

After a moment of greetings, slight footsteps sounded again.

But it was Zhao Ying who walked towards this side hesitantly. When there were only about ten steps left, she stopped moving, but stopped and looked at Zhao Si from afar.

Seeing this, Young Master Xie finally let go of Zhao Si's arm.

Mother and son looked at each other speechlessly.

"Actually, your mother didn't intend to abandon you..." Young Master Xie sighed and spoke softly.

Then he started talking about some obscure hatred between country and family, clan massacre...

What a bloody story about a girl who goes dark and takes revenge and meets her destined emperor...

Zhao Si vomited something in his heart. Although he couldn't empathize with it, he could understand Zhao Ying's choice.

Qin State undoubtedly destroyed Zhao State.

This is indeed a national feud.

Parents, relatives, former playmates, and elders all died under the iron heel of Qin. Although this was inevitable in war, for Zhao Ying, his actions were naturally just.

After all, the positions are different...

The hatred of the country and the family...

"Si'er...you..." Zhao Ying looked at the tall Zhao Si and the face similar to her own, with some sadness in her eyes.

"It's all over..." Zhao Si shook his head and smiled.

"Yes, it's over long ago. Besides, we are all one family now. What's more, the Qin and Zhao clans have been one family for several generations. How can a family have any grudges?" The young master smiled and smoothed things over.

"Now I am your uncle, and Your Majesty is your elder father. We are as close as one."

After finishing speaking, Young Master Xie showed a flattering smile on his face, then looked at Zhao Si and said awkwardly: "This is the palace..."

"Uncle is not used to living in the palace? Or is there someone in the palace who treats uncle harshly?" Zhao Si narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

"Brother!" Zhao Ying said in a deep voice, looking at Young Master Xie intently.

"It's not that... I just live in the palace and am always idle..." The young master laughed twice.

"But it doesn't matter...I can't embarrass you."

Zhao Si shook his head and laughed when he heard this.

How could he not understand what his cheap uncle was thinking?

In fact, house arrest or not, it didn't mean anything to the First Emperor or Zhao Si.

What if I throw Young Master Xie back to Zhao Di? The State of Zhao has become a feudal state of Zhao Si.

And now that the First Emperor has allowed himself to see them, house arrest has no meaning anymore.

but……

What should I say about my cheap uncle?

As a person, he is not very smart, but he is a bit too narrow-minded, and his acting skills are also rather poor.

Although he seems to be very warm and affectionate towards him, his yearning for power cannot be concealed at all.

The purpose was revealed too quickly.

It's better to stay in the palace honestly for a while.

As for his nominal mother...

To be honest, Zhao Si still needs some time to get along with each other.

After all, it takes time to cultivate relationships.

No matter what, they are connected by blood after all, and this is an unbreakable bond.

Just like myself and my cheap uncle.

The blood relationship is here. This is not modern. If you think any relative has a bad character, just forget it and don't interact with them.

Zhao Si is the grandson of the emperor and the king of Zhao. His status is too high and too noble.

As for the mother and uncle, unless Zhao Si is willing to risk the disapproval of the world and publicly and completely sever ties with them, whatever they do at any time will represent part of their own will.

Instead of being deliberately alienated and difficult to control, it is better to gradually get in touch with each other and understand each other's character better, so that we can better restrain them.

In fact, my mother is fine. It is my cheap uncle who is most likely to cause problems.

But there is no way.

When a person's status changes, he will be surrounded by a mixed bag of people.

But objectively speaking, in this era, at least compared to his father Fusu, it is actually easier for Zhao Si to rely on his uncle's help.

Especially when the cheap father has more than one wife and son.

Although... the level is rather worrisome... but after all, the people on my uncle's side are more reassuring.

After all... From a legal perspective, the most harmful thing they can do is to use their status to do evil.

Compared to others, my uncle must really hope that he will prosper forever.

Considering that it was impractical to cut off family ties, Zhao Si took the initiative to establish some brief communication with them.

Mother Zhao Ying actually didn't have much to ask for, and Zhao Si could also feel her mother's embarrassment and guilt, so the mother and son rarely talked to each other.

On the contrary, the cheap uncle Gongzi Xie talked non-stop, as if I wanted to make up for the debt I had owed for more than twenty years. He was very enthusiastic. Of course, it was hard to say how true or false this enthusiasm was.

But one thing that is certain is that his cheap uncle definitely doesn’t want anything to happen to him.

There was no chance of rebellion anyway, and he probably wished that Zhao Si would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible.

Zhao Si didn't feel bored at all. On the contrary, he specifically asked Gongzi Xie to recommend talents to him from the existing clans in Zhao State.

After all, they are connected by blood...

And in this case, Zhao's clan can only rely on itself.

It's similar to eunuchs. There's no benefit in pouring them yourself. It's definitely more reliable to use.

Moreover, the situation in Zhao country is special. People from the clan have blood, which makes it easier to convince the Zhao people.

Zhao Si secretly remembered the name and planned to send a message to Zhang Cang immediately after returning.

He believed that Zhang Cang would make the best use of everything.

As for whether the foreign relatives will become bigger because of this?

Zhao Si is not a fool...

Now that we don’t even have seats, we worry about others getting bigger. Isn’t it unfounded?

"On this occasion... we should take the initiative." Zhao Si shook his head.

When the First Emperor succeeded to the throne as heir apparent, it was not because of my mother's efforts...
