My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 161: Report to the King, there are thieves in Nanyang (please give me a monthly reward!)

Fusu originally wanted to say a few words after entering and ask the queen to return to the palace quickly.

Why is she messing with this kind of thing?

But when she heard the queen slowly and carefully detail all the sins of Lord Changping, she pointed out one by one that he was rich and unkind in the past, and did not consider the actions of the people when he was in power. She simply lost the morality of being a minister.

What's more, he is very unrestrained on weekdays, and everyone has tolerated him for a long time.

That last sentence was not unfair, and it directly showed her attitude towards Xiong Qi.

Poor Xiong Qi always thought that the queen was just a palace lady and not worth mentioning. But when she said this slowly and calmly, Xiong Qi felt hurt in his heart.

He also loves to read the "De Dao Jing".

I read it over and over again seven or eight times, and even cast every word of the "De Dao Jing" on the cauldron.

"Could it be that in the Queen's eyes, I haven't done anything that I said in the De Dao Jing?"

"It's just a matter of form." The queen said seriously.

Xiong Qi really couldn't bear to let his ears continue to listen to the queen's words.

He was said to be useless and it pissed me off to death.

While the two were talking, they saw Fusu quietly appearing in front of them in black uniform.

"How did you come?"

"I heard that my mother seemed to be talking about the De Dao Jing, so I came in to take a look. Outsiders often say that my mother got the god of the De Dao Jing. I have always wanted to see it."

"It's just rumors." The queen said calmly, "You read Confucius and Mencius and pursue Han Feizi. I heard that all the civil and military officials in the entire dynasty were very knowledgeable and well-versed in the classics. As a woman, I can't understand any important things. But I just read the De Dao Jing hundreds of times in my spare time."

After hearing what the queen said, Xiong Qi never told anyone that he admired Huang Lao's thoughts, let alone that he liked to read the "De Dao Jing".

"I came here today just to talk to Uncle Wang alone. Since the death of Queen Mother Huayang, these people who used to frequent the palace have now become rare guests. I will leave after I finish speaking."

Fusu was also startled.

After all, she is the biological mother. She knew what I was going to do when she saw me coming in.

But his tone was as straightforward as ever, no matter what.
-
The queen went to Yuyang Palace. When the news was passed to Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng began to feel uneasy again.

"What is she here to get involved with? With a personality like the queen, Chang Pingjun can deceive her with just a few words." Ying Zheng's face looked worried, but also dissatisfied.

Hearing this tone, Zhao Gao muttered in his heart that although the queen was stupid and kind, she was not as stupid as the king thought.

Is there a possibility that the queen is just too lazy to pay attention to the king?

"Go quickly, explore again and report again." Ying Zheng was a little worried that the queen's sudden visit would ruin Fusu's major events.

At this point, Ying Zheng himself felt uneasy about Lord Changping's treatment.

Fusu, on the other hand, was determined to cut off a strong man's wrist, and he had a perfect strategy to solve the matter of Lord Changping.

It seems that this position of prince is not in vain!
I just hope that nothing bad will happen to the queen.
-
In Yuyang Palace, the queen was still talking loudly, and Fusu also sat beside her.

"Uncle Wang always wanted to pursue the life of idle clouds and wild cranes in the past. I think now is a good opportunity. If Uncle Wang is willing to give up his position as a prince and enter the palace to accompany my rebellious son to study and learn how to behave in the world, then my uncle will be Be kind to Qin and be kind to the ancestors of Qin."

"If you persist in your persistence, I'm afraid that in the end, you will really have nothing left and nothing to gain."

After listening for a long time, it turned out that the queen also came to work as a lobbyist for Fusu.

But even if she didn't come, he would agree to it.

After hearing this, Xiong Qi and Fusu looked at each other in their seats.

Fusu had made it very clear just now. If he did not agree to this matter, Fusu would advise the king to kill him.

As for the queen, she only scolded Fusu openly and secretly scolded herself.

Today's tense and highly-anticipated banquet has fulfilled the righteousness of the king and his ministers.

Xiong Qi clenched his fists and furrowed his brows.

"Prince Qi will not give up or give up. I am grateful for the kindness of the prince. Today, the queen came to tell Qi this in person. If I still refuse to condescend, it would seem to be my fault."

"Fusu is just a child. He doesn't know anything about the important matters of family and country. He just likes Uncle Wang, so there is no kindness to give up. Uncle Wang really thinks too much. If Uncle Wang thinks this is condescending, then no Just do it.”

The queen spoke slowly, Xiong Qi couldn't feel comfortable listening, there were so many knives hidden in one sentence.

I am convinced.

However, those who can sit in Xianyang Palace are ordinary people.

"Xiong Qi doesn't dare."

"It's really hurtful to say this. We were all a family, but now there aren't many left alive. Although Fusu doesn't do well in everything else, he values ​​friendship in this regard. "

The queen didn't know what Fusu had said to Lord Changping before.

But after she said these words of affection, everyone looked at him, and Xiong Qi suddenly jerked, and the wine cup in his hand slipped and fell on the case.

The queen just looked at everyone with wide eyes, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, what you said, Mother, is so good and right. I beg you, Mother, to say more. Today, I am being abrupt."

The muscles on Xiong Qi's face were twisted and twitching, and he remained silent.

The queen smiled warmly.

No way, Uncle Wang, who has always been courteous and generous on the surface, but in fact refuses to accept anyone, actually lost to his son today.

But none of his sons grew up or even started a family.

"Should I have come at a bad time? I have disturbed Uncle Wang and Fusu's enjoyment."

Xiong Qiben held the wine cup in his hands and looked down at the ground. When he heard this, he hurriedly said, "No, no. The queen came at the right time, just right."

This banquet ended easily.

Fusu personally escorted Lord Changping out of the palace under the Queen's reproach.

The night was already very deep at this time, but the big moon was still hanging in the sky.

Fusu really escorted Lord Changping to the palace gate on foot.

Mr. Changping was speechless along the way.

In the past, Xiong Qi was bullied by Ying Zheng alone. Unexpectedly, today he was bullied by Fu Su, mother and son.

He had no place to show off his bad energy all night.

With anger accumulated in his chest, Xiong Qi walked slowly for less than half an hour.

By this time, it was already midnight.Some of the people on duty at night had already begun to take a nap.

But when the prince, who was wearing a black crown, and Lord Changping, who was wearing a high crown, appeared in everyone's sight, the eyes of all the guards present lit up.

"Prince, stay. Just send him here."

Xiong Qi had already seen his carriage, and now he just wanted to be alone.

"I will help my uncle board the car." Xiong Qi looked at Fusu. Only then did he reveal his true feelings for Fusu.

A pretentious person.

"We have already arrived at the palace gate. There is no one here anymore. Prince, please go back."

Fusu and Changping Jun stood in an open field, and the patrolling teams did not dare to approach. Except for their close associates, there were indeed no outsiders around who could hear the two talking.

Sometimes, the most dangerous places are really the safest places.

No one would arrange spies to spy on someone in public at the palace gate.

And in such an open place, once someone sees it, they will be noticed immediately.

"Uncle, I will help Su sincerely say a few words. Uncle, please listen."

"it is good."

"You all stand aside."

Lord Changping also looked around at his cronies, who all retreated to a corner.

Fusu asked Xiong Qi to move again.

Xiong Qi was very tired and tired. After walking for about ten steps, the two of them stopped.

Xiong Qi stood in front of Fusu, the fear in his eyes had disappeared.

He has nothing now.Fusu prepared the worst ending for him. In the face of this worst ending, all other efforts and planning seemed meaningless.

Xiong Qi now wonders if there is some expert guidance behind this boy Fusu, or if he has an informant in his mansion. Otherwise, how could he know what he is thinking and be prepared to kill him in advance? .

Politics is the most dangerous game, but also the most exciting.

When things got to this point, standing face to face with his nephew who wanted to kill him, Xiong Qi felt that he was very happy at the moment.

"What kind of words does the prince want to say to me?"

"Uncle, there are things between you and me that cannot be said openly to outsiders. Moreover, the days are long, and we must continue to do what we should do."

Xiong Qi's face tightened.

"What happened today was that I almost made it impossible for my uncle to come to power. But in my opinion, this was a good choice for me, the Qin State, and the nobles of the Chu State. It's just that I made my uncle pay a heavy price for this. This is I owe it to my uncle."

"You actually know that the price for me is serious?" Xiong Qi trembled with anger when he thought of this bad idea.

His roaring voice echoed in the wide palace passage, and everyone around him couldn't help but look sideways.

Guan Fu also felt the grievance and anger in Xiong Qi's roar.

"Now that the matter has come to this, what can the general do?" Fusu gave Xiong Qi a deadlock and did not allow him to develop in other directions.

Xiong Qi's cheek muscles twitched again.

If he wanted to become an outstanding politician, what Fusu had to consider was never to inquire about or prevent Changping Jun from treason; rather, it was to directly strangle him from the possibility of treason.

"My uncle reminded me of this. As a prince, I don't have a title of king or a city; but my uncle is a prince and has all these. In my uncle's view, what my uncle has is my uncle's bargaining chip, and what Fusu doesn't have These are Fusu’s weaknesses.”

"But it's precisely because I don't have the ability to rebel that I can be preserved; if my uncle wants to be preserved, he has to take the burden off himself."

"I thought that instead of yelling at me, my uncle should thank me. Not everyone will sympathize with a loser and be willing to give him another chance to make a comeback."

Xiong Qi's face turned livid, "According to your opinion, you are protecting me and you plan to give me a chance to make a comeback."

"I said, my uncle and I are relatives, and my relationship with my uncle is different from others. My uncle and I are both prosperous and devastated."

As Xiong Qi listened, the anger in his heart slowly calmed down.

He gradually calmed down, "So, even if one leaf seals the Tang Dynasty, it still counts."

"Count." Under the moonlight, there was no hesitation on Fusu's face.

Xiong Qi began to admire Fusu a little, "You are very suitable for power struggle, but you were born late. If you had been born a few decades earlier, Qin would have been your biggest stage."

"Fighting with others takes a lot of energy. I just want to be my prince in Yuyang Palace."

Xiong Qi nodded in agreement and hummed lightly.

"Uncle, I'll wait for you to make your choice."

"You have prepared two roads for me, a road of death and a road of survival. What can I do? Your father-in-law will probably reduce my title soon, and then it will be up to you."

Fusu did not answer, but bowed to Xiong Qi.

Under the moonlit night, this long bow seemed to be particularly heavy, and Xiong Qi felt that he could not move his feet.

Decades later, he will return to the beginning of the story and hibernate again.

This is fate.

Xiong Qi was about to leave in a big way, but suddenly turned around and asked Fusu, "You have worked so hard to set up such a big trap. Did you sleep well at night?"

Fusu raised his head and met Xiong Qi's gaze, "If you lose, I'll still be the prince. If you win, I'll be the prince too. Uncle, do you think I won't sleep well?"

Xiong Qi said no more, and Fusu let him know that the future King of Qin would be a ruthless character.

And if you choose him, you will become the King of Chu in the future.

Xiong Qi went home happily.

After all, the path originally prepared for him by the Chu nobles was to rebel. Compared with the choice given to him by Fusu, being a Tutor was obviously much better.
-
Just a few days after August [-]th, a memorial sent from Nanyang County made Ying Zheng frown.

On this day, Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, Feng Quji and others happened to be around.

"Hmph! This group of unscrupulous people actually mobilized the whole village to rob the grain and grass that I had escorted to the Chu State's front line."

"The damn thing is, these people actually said that they just saw the food and grass and thought no one wanted it, so they picked it up."

"This is obviously robbery, but they actually call it picking up things that others have left behind."

"I have dealt with countless criminal cases submitted to the local government, but none of them are as bizarre as this one."

Wang Wan also frowned, "Nanyang County has a vast land and a large population. It has also produced many talents, which can be said to be outstanding people. I have been here in the past, and the people there are enthusiastic, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen. thing."

"It can be seen that some people have no moral character in their hearts. If they are not dealt with harshly, they may become more rampant in the future. Today they dare to rob food and grass openly and falsely claim that they took them away along the way. Tomorrow they dare to come to Xianyang City to steal."

"I decided to execute all these people and hang their corpses on the city gate as a warning to others."

Wang Wan has always been gentle, and he felt that Ying Zheng's approach was a bit too much.

"Since they are a group of thieves, they should be severely punished together; but according to Qin law, criminal behavior should also be divided into principals and accomplices. The king should severely punish those who take the lead in instigating this matter, but those who blindly follow the law-breaking people should be beheaded in public. Is it too much?”

Ying Zheng said loudly, "Prime Minister Wan, according to your opinion, serious crimes should be severely punished, and minor crimes should be lightly punished. But have you forgotten that Han Fei said that in troubled times, there are many people and few animals, and the common people Acting only for profit without thinking about virtue, the only way to put an end to this trend is to rely on light crimes and heavy penalties."

"A hundred years ago, Shang Jun said so; a hundred years later, Han Fei also said so. If we just let those accomplices go, does that mean that similar situations will happen in the future, and other people can also follow blindly as an excuse? and be acquitted."

"Indulgence of small evils is the root of the country's troubles."
