Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

As night fell, Ying Zheng searched through the family tree...

Looking at those familiar names, his expression became changeable and unpredictable.

At the same time, the city of Xianyang was in turmoil because of the issue of Fusu as regent!
The so-called regent means that when the king is away, other princes will temporarily take over the power of the emperor.

When Ying Zheng went east to search for elixirs, Fusu also served as the governor of the country.

But now the situation is very different!
In the past, Fusu served as regent because Ying Zheng was not around.

Now that Ying Zheng is safe and sound, he lets Fusu govern the country. What is the meaning of this?

The ministers looked at each other in confusion.

Although Prince Fusu is the best successor to the next King of Qin, Your Majesty showed up yesterday. Isn't it too hasty for him to become regent today?

Does this represent some profound meaning of His Majesty the First Emperor?

Even if it expresses a deeper meaning, it is too obvious. Has it really been determined that Prince Fusu will be the next King of Qin?
The ministers were hesitant and wavering.

However, facing all this, Fusu was too lazy to pay attention. After practicing for a day and a night, and holding a whole day of court meetings, he was already dizzy.

Staggering back to the room, he struggled to practice and study the skills.

However, what made him despair was that no matter how he practiced, he could not draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body!

Finally, exhausted Fusu lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

Fusu was asleep, but the ministers were not idle.

On the night when the court meeting ended, many ministers gathered together to discuss the news about Fusu's regent.

"To be honest, I didn't expect that Prince Fusu would be the regent today."

"Who said it wasn't true? I was shocked when Prince Fusu appeared in the hall."

In the darkness of night, in a luxurious courtyard, Meng Yi had a pleasant conversation with a group of ministers who supported Fusu, and he looked very happy.

As Fusu's die-hard supporters, what they would naturally like to see most is Fusu acting as regent today.

Although no one knows what happened between Ying Zheng and Fusu, this is definitely great news for those who support Fusu!

"Haha! When I was waiting for His Majesty, I saw that Master Fusu was gone!"

"Me too! But I was wondering where the prince had been. It was a little strange that he didn't even come for such an important event. I didn't expect that he would directly become regent!"

"Either way, this is good for us!"

"That's right, it's all clear!"

Regardless of the reason, the fact that Your Majesty allowed Prince Fusu to govern the country and deal with the flood issue while on duty is an excellent omen!

"And have you noticed that, as regent this time, Prince Fusu no longer seems to be as indecisive as before." Meng Yi drank a glass of wine and spoke with a smile.

Upon hearing this, all the ministers nodded with their eyes shining.

Prince Fusu's indecisiveness has been going on for a long time. His Majesty has been angry about this, and the ministers who support Fusu have been worried about it.

But faced with this problem, Fusu was like a stubborn donkey and refused to listen to any advice.

However, ever since Ying Zheng got furious about the fake alchemist, I don’t know what Fusu has gone through, but he seems to have changed completely.

The original indecisiveness disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by decisiveness like Ying Zheng!

The most obvious thing is that during this time of regents managing the disaster, Fusu has clearly grown a lot!
"And when the incident of the former king outside the city gate caused such a stir, Your Majesty only brought Prince Fusu with him!"

"Hahaha! This is a good thing!"

"But speaking of which, who was the person that Your Majesty and Prince Fusu welcomed together that night? Did you find out?"

"That's not true..."

The ministers who supported Fusu were extremely excited as they drank and discussed the wine.

Elsewhere, however, the situation is different.

When Fusu was regent, some people were happy while others were worried.

For example, the ministers who supported other princes, such as Prince Jianglu and Prince Ziying, all looked unhappy.

Especially those who supported Hu Hai, such as Yang Gao, looked extremely ugly!
"This is outrageous! What happened to our father? Why did he let Fusu govern the country?"

There was a crackling sound coming from a magnificent palace. It was Hu Hai who was furious.

Pieces of exquisite porcelain were smashed to pieces, and various bronze vessels were thrown randomly on the ground by Hu Hai.

Dozens of pretty maids were kneeling in the distance, trembling in fear, not daring to breathe in the face of the furious Hu Hai.

Sitting on the ground panting, Hu Hai's eyes were red!

Originally, after hearing about the need to control the severe drought in Longxi, Hu Hai also prepared a memorial.

But this memorial actually did not contain any practical suggestions. It was mostly words praising Ying Zheng, trying to gain favor from him.

However, what Hu Hai did not expect was that after he had finally gotten up early and waited for a long time in the court, when he looked up he saw the face of his good brother!

This made Hu Hai stunned on the spot!
He didn't even know how he managed to survive in the court today!

"Master, what on earth is going on? Has something happened to our father? Why did he allow Fusu to be the regent?!"

After a long time, Hu Hai raised his head and asked in a deep voice.

Following the line of sight, the maids discovered that Yang Gao had arrived in the hall at some point.

Looking at the messy hall, Yang Gao's face turned unhappy and there was a cold flash in his eyes!
"I don't know what happened to His Majesty. When I went to see His Majesty this morning, I was stopped by the Black Ice Terrace guards."

“Although I don’t know what happened to His Majesty, but judging from the actions and expressions of those on the Black Ice Platform, His Majesty should be fine.” Yang Gao said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Hu Hai's eyes suddenly turned red and he clenched his fists tightly!

The emperor is fine, but why is Fusu allowed to govern the country?

After a whole day of discussion today, the disasters in Longxi and Zhongche County have almost been discussed!
Various policies and measures have almost been finalized!
All that’s left is to publish it and execute it!
For Fusu, this is undoubtedly a great achievement!

You know, dealing with things like disasters is the best way to win the hearts of the people!

My father deliberately chose this time to let Fusu take his place as regent. Is he hinting at something?

This is obviously paving the way for Fusu!
How did this eldest brother, who is so cunning, get the emperor to agree to let him be regent?

Hu Hai's face was terribly gloomy.

What Hu Hai could think of, Yang Gao had naturally thought of as well, and his face was equally gloomy.

At this time, they didn't know that this was not Fusu's initiative at all, but was forced on him by Ying Zheng!
In order to delay, Fusu even stayed for two hours before coming to the morning court!

I give it to you, but you still don't want it? If Hu Hai and Yang Gao knew about this, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood!

There was a long silence, and no one spoke. After a long time, Hu Hai finally broke the silence with a deep voice.

"Master, can you think of a way to prevent Fusu from attending court early in the morning?"

"There is no way." Yang Gao took a deep breath and gently rubbed his brows. This was something he had never expected. "This is an order issued by His Majesty himself. No one dares to disobey."

"What should we do then?" Hu Hai was so angry that he grabbed the jade cup and threw it to the ground, his face looking extremely ugly!
"Are we just going to watch Fusu sitting there forever?!"

"We must find a way to get him down!"

"Only I can sit in Father's place!"

"Master, can we assassinate Fusu?"

Hu Hai growled in frustration, clenched his fists, his face turned ashen, and his eyes were cold!

Looking at the helpless and furious Hu Hai, Yang Gao suddenly felt helpless in his heart!
Hu Hai, can you please think before you speak?
Assassinate Fusu?

How dare you say such a thing? Do you really think the Black Ice Platform of the Qin Dynasty is just a decoration?

You're shouting so loudly, are you afraid that others won't hear you?
He really has nothing good except his background!

No wonder Ying Zheng likes Fusu!

However, it is precisely those with shallow cunning who are easier to control.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Gao said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Master Hu Hai, we don't need to be so anxious for now."

"After all, it's just one day of regent. When the time is up, with His Majesty's love, you will still be eligible to compete for the throne."

"But Your Highness, you must seize the next moment."

Hu Hai nodded vigorously, with a myriad of thoughts running through his mind.

However, what happened next was far beyond the expectations of Hu Hai and Yang Gao.

Not only Hu Hai and Yang Gao, but even the other ministers never expected what would happen next!
Because the next morning at the court session, the person sitting in the seat was still Fusu! !

And not even just the next day!
Day three!
Day four!
The fifth day!
All week!
Even after the disasters in Longxi and Zhongche County had been completely rectified, Fusu was still the regent!

Seeing this scene, many officials in the Qin Dynasty's Xianyang City were a little panicked!
What's going on here?
Why has Prince Fusu always been the regent?

Is there something wrong with you, Your Majesty?
Why doesn't it show up?
It was not just the ministers who were hostile to Fusu, but even Meng Yi, Wang Jian and a group of old ministers who supported Fusu were a little dazed and unsure at this time!
Originally, they thought that letting Fusu serve as regent was to train him and pave the way for him.

But now, what's going on?

The disaster in Longxi has been dealt with, but there has been no news for more than half a month?

Why is Prince Fusu always the regent?

Where is your majesty?
Could something really have happened?
You have to know that during the nearly half month that Ying Zheng didn’t show up this time, there was truly no news at all!
In the past, although Fusu was regent, Ying Zheng might be absent from various matters.

But even in his absence, Ying Zheng would occasionally convey some messages and provide guidance on state affairs!
Even when he was at the peak of his eastern tour, he would send Heibingtai to inquire about Fusu's governance every now and then!
Better now!

There is only the Black Ice Platform, and no one can enter the study!

This kind of thing has never happened in the history of the Qin Dynasty!
As time went by, all the ministers began to panic. Even Hu Hai, who had always resented Fusu for being regent, was a little confused at this time!

Because he hadn't seen Ying Zheng once in the past half month!
Every time he went there, he would be stopped by the Black Ice Platform guards and would not be allowed to get close at all!

This would never have happened before!

Faced with all this, countless ministers began to become anxious and impatient.

After the court session, they all ran towards where Fusu lived.

"Your Highness Prince Fusu, what on earth is going on?"

"How is His Majesty? Why hasn't he come out for more than half a month?"

"Your Highness Prince Fusu, has His Majesty's old illness recurred?"

Faced with inquiries from a group of veteran ministers, Fusu was at a loss. He stammered and smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

How should he tell these ministers?
It is said that my father has recently become obsessed with magic and has locked himself in his study, trying his best to practice but there has been no progress at all?
Even the government affairs were given up?

If I really say it out loud, my father's image will be completely ruined!
Faced with the anxious inquiries of a group of ministers, Fusu stammered and could not explain clearly, and tried to evade the question with difficulty.

But before Fusu could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the mountain of memorials on the table brought by the eunuchs.

Although Yang Gao was extremely reluctant to let Fusu serve as regent, he still did not dare to do anything about such an important matter as memorials to the emperor.

"so much?"

Looking at the large number of memorials, Fusu's face immediately fell!
After dealing with so many memorials, how would I have time to practice?
"Does the emperor usually handle so many memorials? I don't remember!"

Looking at the memorials that piled up like a small mountain, Fusu was completely dumbfounded!
Why are there so many memorials?

In the past half month, he has had to deal with various memorials and documents every day!

It was okay at the beginning. Although there were a lot of things to do, Fusu couldn't often serve as regent. The novelty of reviewing memorials allowed him to hold on.

But as he continued to correct the papers, after the novelty wore off, Fusu began to feel a headache.

Because there were so many memorials, after waiting to correct them every day, I would feel sore all over and had no energy.

Forget about practicing, my eyelids are fighting each other!
After reviewing the memorials every day, he was almost always carried back sideways by the eunuchs. He didn’t want to move at all and even had to find someone to feed him!
Is it so tiring to be an emperor?

Why didn’t I feel it before?

I've never seen my father like this before!
Fusu became extremely anxious when he thought that even someone like Xu Fu could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while he himself was still lingering in the entry stage.

"Father, I can be the regent for a day or two, but I can't stand it if it goes on every day! I also need to practice!"

Fusu muttered to himself, paced anxiously, and then trotted to Ying Zheng's study.

However, facing Ying Zheng, Fusu was ruthlessly rejected before he could even finish his words.

"As the eldest son of the Qin Empire, how could you not even be able to review memorials? This is simply ridiculous!"

"This is a rare training opportunity. Others want it but can't get it. You must cherish it!"

"Do you have to wait until I die before you can learn to grow up?"

"Don't think about cultivating immortality all day long, review the memorials first!"

Ying Zheng scolded coldly.

Hearing this, Fusu's mouth twitched.

"As expected of my father, you can even talk about laziness and blame others so domineeringly..."

He muttered to himself, looking at the bamboo slips tightly held in Ying Zheng's hand and the dark circles under his eyes due to staying up late, Fusu almost believed what his father said. (End of this chapter)
