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

Even my physical condition is much better than before!

Now he has a chance to take the throne again!
It's not like before when it was already in Fusu's pocket!
Although his abilities are not enough now, Hu Hai is extremely confident.

As long as he is given time and opportunity, he will definitely be able to do better than Fusu!

He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and bowed to Ying Zheng earnestly: "Greetings, father! Congratulations on your safety."

In fact, the first thing Hu Hai saw when he came in was Fusu eating at the table on the other side.

Although he felt a little jealous that Fusu came earlier than him, Hu Hai did not take it to heart.

If my father is not dead, the position of the emperor will be unknown.

No one knows what will happen until the last moment.

Moreover, Fusu looked unhappy. What had he just experienced?

Could it be that the emperor criticized Fusu severely and did not like his policies in recent days?

Thinking of this, Hu Hai couldn't help but feel happy.

Looking at Hu Hai, Ying Zheng was also quite happy.

As his youngest son, Hu Hai had the most similar personality to him, so Ying Zheng was quite fond of Hu Hai.

In addition, Hu Hai was indeed sensible and knew how to please him, so Ying Zheng actually had quite a few expectations for Hu Hai.

Looking at Hu Hai panting heavily, obviously he had just run all the way here, Ying Zheng couldn't help but nodded: "Hahaha, Hu Hai, come here, let me see you!" Hearing this, Hu Hai walked over respectfully.

After looking at Hu Hai with satisfaction, Ying Zheng nodded and directly reprimanded Fusu: "Fusu! Look at Hu Hai, he listens to whatever I say! You need to improve on this point!!"

Hearing this, Fusu raised his head and said helplessly: "How can these things be the same? Father, I really can't do what you said."

"You have to do it even if you can't do it, unless you want to guard the imperial mausoleum!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and spoke bluntly.

Hearing this, Fusu became even more helpless.

But no matter how helpless you are, there is no way to change this fact.

While Fusu was lowering his head and sighing, Hu Hai and Yang Gao on the other side also lowered their heads. Their expressions did not change much, but their hearts were already in turmoil.

How is this going?

Why did Ying Zheng scold Fusu?

Could it be that he was dissatisfied with Fusu?
Haha, this is such unexpected good news!

Although I don’t know why my father is dissatisfied with Fusu, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity for me!

Witnessing all this, Hu Hai and Yang Gao's hearts were almost filled with joy!
There were so many good news today. First, Ying Zheng woke up and was in excellent condition. Then he scolded Fusu!

Such a scene is simply wonderful!
However, despite thinking this in his mind, Hu Hai did not show it. Instead, he pretended to be very fearful and spoke well of Fusu.

"Father, I wonder what mistake did my elder brother make to make you so angry? But please don't blame my elder brother too much. He is also thinking about Daqin."

Fusu looked up when he heard this. He knew exactly what Hu Hai had said.

This was obviously an attempt to please Ying Zheng and show brotherly harmony.

If it were in the past, Fusu might have responded with a few words, but now he has no time to care about that.

He looked directly at Ying Zheng and spoke without hesitation.

"Father, I really don't want to be the regent anymore, even if it means guarding the imperial mausoleum."

"If it really doesn't work, you can let your brother Hu Hai govern the country, which will be a good chance to test him."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

Ying Zheng, Yang Gao, and Hu Hai were all stunned.

Let Hu Hai be the regent?
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent and everyone looked at Fusu in amazement!

Even Li Si, who had just arrived at the door and had not yet had time to come in, was stunned!

He was filled with confusion and shock.

Prince Fusu actually proposed that Prince Huhai should be regent. Am I in the wrong place?
Is this kind of thing, am I just dreaming?
In fact, Li Si learned the news of Ying Zheng's awakening almost at the same time as Hu Hai and Yang Gao.

But in comparison, since Yang Gao had the Prince of Qin by his side, the process of approving reports was shortened a lot, so he arrived faster.

However, what Li Si never expected was that he heard such explosive news as soon as he arrived!

In fact, not only Li Si, but also Hu Hai, Yang Gao, and even the First Emperor who were present were completely stunned!

Hu Hai's heart was filled with huge waves.

I, what did I hear? Fusu actually proposed that I be the regent?

Hu Hai has always regarded Fusu as his biggest enemy on his road to becoming emperor.

Whether it was the indecisive Fusu or the decisive Fusu now, Hu Hai never underestimated him.

From childhood to adulthood, he had heard so many words praising Fusu that he had forgotten why he regarded Fusu as an enemy.

Even though Fusu was nice to him on weekdays.

In fact, although Hu Hai did not think too highly of Fusu at the beginning, deep down in his heart, he always believed that he was Ying Zheng's most beloved son.

However, everything began to change since Ying Zheng secretly took Fusu out.

He was no longer Ying Zheng's favorite son.

Outside the city gate, Ying Zheng took Fusu to welcome the mysterious figure, and he asked Fusu for his opinion before making any moves.

In the past few months, this tension has reached its peak.

Because my father actually let Fusu take charge of state affairs while he himself was in good health!
This is something that has never happened before!
Although there have been cases where Fusu served as regent in the past, that was when Ying Zheng was too busy to handle all the other responsibilities.

It's nothing like it is now, where all state affairs are directly handed over to Fusu without even asking a single question!
The most important thing is that, apart from Fusu, no one knows what happened to Ying Zheng and whether he is safe.

As time went by, Fusu pacified many things, managed the remnants of the six kingdoms, and handled various affairs in an orderly manner.

The ministers all began to favor Fusu, and Fusu's power became increasingly stronger.

At this moment, Hu Hai almost thought that he had completely lost his chance of becoming emperor.

However, just when he was most desperate, something unexpected happened!
That means father is fine!
Not only did his father appear intact, he also gave him a big surprise!

——As soon as he arrived, he saw his father scolding Fusu!

Although I don’t know why my father scolded Fusu, after all, Fusu has been performing very well recently.

But this did not prevent him from gaining favor in front of Ying Zheng.

However, what Hu Hai never expected was that Fusu actually said such words!
"Let me be the regent prince?"

Hu Hai's mind went blank. He pointed at himself in confusion and looked at Fusu in disbelief.

Could it be that Fusu is a good person?
Did I wrongly blame him before?
Fusu's words made the young Hu Hai completely lose his ability to think, and he froze in place with his mouth wide open. Yang Gao next to him was also dumbfounded!

However, compared to Hu Hai, who was completely stunned and had no idea what was going on, Yang Gao was generally calm.

fake!

fake!

This is absolutely false!

How could Fusu allow Hu Hai to be the regent!

Although his mind told him that all this was impossible, Yang Gao's heart was beating violently at this moment!

How is this going!

Compared with Hu Hai, he knows Fusu clearly!
Although Fusu looked gentle and somewhat indecisive in the past, Yang Gao could tell at a glance that this man would not tolerate even the slightest grain of sand in his eyes!
If Fusu came to power, he would definitely fall apart in an instant.

Not to mention being second only to one person, it’s even questionable whether you can survive!
Especially after Fusu began to become decisive and ruthless and abandoned his indecisiveness, Yang Gao's fear reached the extreme!

What he feared most was waking up and seeing that Fusu had become the emperor of Qin.

That means he is not far from death!

So when he saw that Ying Zheng was still alive, Yang Gao was actually happier and more excited than Hu Hai!
but now!

He was a little confused about Fusu!

In the hall, everyone was stunned by Fusu's words.

After a long time, Ying Zheng was the first to react, and he suddenly laughed out of anger!

"Let Hu Hai be the emperor? Let him be the regent? You are such a fool to say such nonsense!"

Ying Zheng knew Hu Hai's background clearly.

Although he loved Hu Hai and liked him, it did not mean that he wanted to pass the throne to Hu Hai!
Although Hu Hai's personality is very similar to his, the difference between him and him is that Hu Hai has never experienced any hardship at all!
He simply doesn't have the talent to be an emperor!
If Hu Hai became emperor, he would definitely be a tyrant!
He can't do anything but kill innocent people!

"Are you sure you really want Hu Hai and other brothers to be regents?" Ying Zheng looked at Fusu with a bad expression.

Seeing this scene, Fusu immediately shrank his neck.

"Well, I'm not so sure..."

It was obvious that if he had been stubborn just now, Ying Zheng in front of him would have ordered him to be thrown into jail without hesitation.

After hearing Ying Zheng's words and the conversation with Fusu, Hu Hai suddenly felt a little lost!

Just a second ago, he was still thinking about how he should agree if his father really asked him to be regent.

But unexpectedly, this was not the case at all.

From Ying Zheng’s words, it can be seen that he obviously has no intention of letting himself take power!
Why is that?
How can I be inferior to Fusu!

Isn’t it just dealing with some political affairs?

If I were to do it, I would definitely handle it a thousand times, a billion times better than Fusu!
Although he was roaring wildly in his heart, Hu Hai did not dare to express these words openly.

If he really said it out loud, he would definitely be scolded by Ying Zheng.

On the other side, Li Si, who had just heard the conversation between the two, also let out a long sigh!

Luckily I was just joking!

If Hu Hai were really allowed to become emperor or regent, the entire Qin Dynasty would probably be doomed.

"Your humble servant Li Si greets your majesty, greets His Royal Highness Prince Fusu, and His Royal Highness Prince Huhai..."

Li Si stepped forward respectfully, bowed and spoke.

Looking at Li Si, Ying Zheng nodded. He was quite satisfied with Li Si.

Just now, before everyone arrived, Fusu had told him everything that had happened before, about the chaos in the six kingdoms, the extraction of luck, and all kinds of things.

During this period, Li Si put in a lot of effort both in handling political affairs and in helping him make plans.

"Stand up, I'm grateful that you have been responsible for helping Fusu while I was in seclusion."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It is an honor for Li Si to be able to help His Royal Highness Prince Fusu with his affairs."

Standing up slowly, Li Si was secretly delighted in his heart, although he did not express much.

Finally, we can reduce some of the government burden!

During the months when Ying Zheng disappeared, the government affairs that Li Si handled piled up like a snowball.

In the past, when Ying Zheng was in power, Li Si only had to deal with some government affairs. As the closest prime minister, he and Feng Quji played more like Ying Zheng's assistants, screening some memorials in advance.

However, during Fusu's reign, for some reason, he delegated a lot of power to them.

In the past, they had no access to many documents and memorials, but Fusu gave them great authority.

During these three months, Li Si and Chunyu Yue experienced both pain and happiness.

The happiness comes from their experience of the charm of supreme power, while the pain comes from the sharp increase in affairs that need to be dealt with.

Li Si did not change his original intention, he was still the prime minister who cared about the world.

Faced with numerous matters, he has to think carefully and rack his brains to come up with the best answer.

In the past three months, Li Si had no idea how many sleepless nights he had spent. The dark circles under his eyes were as heavy as coal. Compared to Fusu, his level of fatigue had increased by countless times.

Now that Ying Zheng has returned, Li Si can finally breathe a sigh of relief and take a temporary rest.

He deeply experienced the feeling of being at the pinnacle of power, which was really uncomfortable.

It is obvious that Ying Zheng would not let Hu Hai manage Qin. Although he did not want to deal with state affairs, it did not mean that he did not care about Qin.

Previously, he confidently handed over the State of Qin to Fusu, firstly because Fusu had real talents and knowledge, and secondly because he was smart enough.

Since meeting the master, Fusu's character began to change and he gradually became decisive.

Ying Zheng felt relieved to hand over the State of Qin to Fusu.

But if it was handed over to Hu Hai, the result would be completely different.

Without him here to take charge, the world would be ruined by Hu Hai within three years.

"Forget it, Fusu, you can take a break for the next period of time. I will handle the state affairs."

In the end, Ying Zheng compromised.

After all, Fusu is the only son he can trust at the moment. If he is overused and collapses, he will have to find another way out.

After hearing what Ying Zheng said, Hu Hai, Yang Gao and Li Si all felt confused and awkward.

What's going on? Why are you so unwilling to handle government affairs after hearing what Your Majesty said?
Logically speaking, your Majesty didn't have this kind of personality before, right?
What they didn't expect was that they were stripped of their power to handle government affairs. (End of this chapter)
