My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 158: My uncle is here to be No. 1 (please give me a monthly ticket!)

Fusu had already thought about it, unless Lord Changping became his party member and lay dormant quietly waiting for him to implement enfeoffment in the marginal areas in the future.

Otherwise, whether we wait for him to rebel and kill him, or we deal with him on charges of consecutive crimes, too many people will be implicated.

A high-ranking person like Xiong Qi carries the lives of most of the officials in the court.

Behind most of these officials, there are countless families.

And these countless families are not ordinary families.

They include the country's middle and upper classes.

The top group can support thousands of lives in a family; the upper-middle and middle-class people can support hundreds of lives in a family.

There are hundreds of child servants, which is not a small concept.

They were originally proletarians who had lost their means of production and had no family to rely on. They could only rely on vassalage of these powerful people.

Like what Qin Wangzheng did in the past, he frequently ransacked countless people's homes, confiscating their slaves and turning them into his own disciples, or dragging them into the palace as slaves.

In short, killing this person alone would cause the nobles to share the same hatred.

It will also cause many people who were originally displaced to lose their current stable lives.

This is why many people oppose breaking the old relations of production.

The lives of some people are already very poor. If reforms continue, they will not be able to afford the food they currently have.

Because the interests that can be leveraged are often the interests of relatively disadvantaged groups.

Once the forces are cleared, the downfall of these nobles may not necessarily be the liberation of civilians and slaves.At that time, they will face a reduction in their self-status, because there are more and more civilians and slaves, and the number of nobles who can support them is getting smaller and smaller.

Who knows, this is the age of the nobility.

The towering trees grow extremely vigorously, but at the cost of draining the surrounding land of nutrients.On the land beside the giant tree, in addition to the same towering trees, there were only low moss and short grass.

This is why cutting down a tree will cause soil erosion in the entire land.

Killing many nobles would risk unrest within the country.

But if he doesn't kill him, as the biological son of King Zhaolie of Chu and the prime minister who once held the real power of the Qin State, whatever he does is enough to cause the Qin State to lose a lot of blood.

To get rid of him would be to bloodbath the nobles of Qin, which would also be equivalent to cutting off the heads of half the imperial court.

The political consequences of this are very serious.

Therefore, Ying Zhengcai just dismissed Lord Changping and handled the matter carefully.

When it comes to Fusu, it's even more difficult.

Therefore, he needs to be forced to be his own tutor.

A look of horror flashed in Xiong Qi's eyes, and he quickly forced himself to calm down, but his face had already given him away.

In Xiong Qi's view, emotions are the biggest double-edged sword in political turmoil.There used to be a person who always ruined the good things between him and the Queen Mother Huayang, but now he has become the life-saving straw for the entire Chu Kingdom aristocracy.

This person is the queen.

Even though the queen had never called him "Brother Wang" in person, Xiong Qi knew that the queen was not willing to watch him die.

As for the prince, he was once kind to him. Based on his understanding of him over the years, he once said that he would make himself the King of Chu, and he still wants to do so now.

However, there was one person who made it impossible for the prince to fulfill his promise to him.

This person is Ying Zheng.

That's why Xiong Qi thought of giving Fusu a try, but Fusu was empty-handed and still grateful to Ying Zheng.

Although Xiong Qi was annoyed and didn't think Fusu was reliable, he never thought Fusu dared to kill him.

Everyone knows that as someone who supports Fusu as the crown prince, he will be the right-hand man of the crown prince of Qin in the future.

Xiong Qi didn't trust Fusu, nor did he like Fusu.But judging from his political stance, he was sure that a smart prince like Fusu would not be willing to give up a supporter like himself.Their interests are identical.

Seeing that he had visited Changping Mansion several times before, Xiong Qi became more and more certain of this.Fusu is smart and knows how much influence his status has on his position as prince.

But when Fusu said the words "kill relatives for justice", Xiong Qi's old dreams were not only shattered, but also his only political bargaining chip fell to the ground.

Because Fusu openly stated that he would not support him.

He was using this banquet to express his loyalty to his father Qin Wangzheng.

Xiong Qi put his hands on the seat, forcing himself to be calm and composed to hide his guilty conscience.

Xiong Qi swayed and raised the wine cup again, "The prince is knowledgeable and well-versed in ancient and modern classics. Today, I can hear such a story from the prince. After it is spread, it will also be a good talk in front of outsiders."

Fusu said slowly, "Yes, Shi Hou did so many bad things, colluding with ministers, usurping the throne and treason, all of which were capital crimes. But he didn't expect that he would die in the hands of his own father."

As Xiong Qi listened, he gradually didn't know where to put his hands.

Fusu's words were obvious, and he advised him to give up his desire to rebel and usurp the throne.

"The most precious thing in the world is family affection. But sometimes, some people don't know how to cherish family affection. In my opinion, Shi Hou's biggest fault was not that he conspired to form a party to usurp the throne, but that he used his father Shi Jue to gain power. The influence of the DPRK and China has come into contact with people it shouldn’t have come into contact with and done things it shouldn’t have done.”

"His biggest fault was unfilial piety. If he really had Shi Que as his father in his heart, he would definitely not do something like set himself on fire."

"What do you think, uncle?"

At this time, the young man opposite Changping Jun began to smile warmly.

"What the prince said is very reasonable."

"Uncle, should we take advantage of this atmosphere and complete the etiquette today? Look, I have already prepared the ceremony. Are you willing to refuse me?"

Fusu put his hands together and placed them in front of his lower abdomen. He looked like a very well-behaved and sensible boy.

Xiong Qi looked at the drama queen in front of him with anger in his heart.

"I am already a king, how can I be a tutor? In the past history of Qin, nothing like this has ever happened."

"Then uncle can be No. 1."

Xiong Qi noticed that Fu Su had evil intentions and immediately moved his body, "What do you mean by this?"

The retainers who accompanied Xiong Qi today saw Changping Lord in such a disgraceful state for the first time.

And his opponent was actually a 16-year-old boy.

The lord lost miserably today.

Behind Mr. Changping's seat, those standing and sitting silently lowered their heads and swallowed their anger.

The prince's arrogance was at its peak, and now that they were in the palace, they could only let the prince do whatever he wanted.

"As a prince, my uncle is a bit condescending to be my tutor. But if the prince is a royal family member, then wouldn't it be reasonable for him to be Fusu's tutor?"

"Is it reasonable?" Xiong Qi squeezed the wine prince's hand tighter, his expression became serious, making people dare not approach him at all.

There was deathly silence in the hall again.

There was a sound of dripping wine coming from the wine vessel.

The maid serving the wine next to her saw short green veins faintly exposed on the temples of Lord Changping's forehead, and quickly focused her gaze on the ground.

"If my uncle is willing to help Fusu and himself, please give up his title."

Xiong Qi now understood that the two previous visits to his house by Fu Su were actually to test him.

Including the time I made a special trip to the countryside to see myself a few days ago, it was also for this matter.
