My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 18 Li Si put on my shoes
The sun sets at You hour, which is already Xu hour, and many lights are turned off in the palace.

In the huge Xianyang, only a few palaces and treasuries are still flickering with lights.All the rest of the houses were silent and sleeping in the moonlight.

In addition to the Zhangtai, there are several oil lamps lit in the Jiaolan Hall of the harem.

All the young beauties lived in the Jiaolan Palace, and they were looking forward to the king's arrival day and night.

But tonight, their wishes will come true again.

Fusu had dinner with Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng asked him about his studies.

As the only son in the palace who was questioned by Ying Zheng almost every day, Fu Su completely underestimated how enthusiastic Ying Zheng made him study hard.

"You said those masters don't know anything?"

Ying Zheng couldn't help frowning.

"It's just a completely useless place to teach me."

Ying Zheng sighed inwardly, he shouldn't have praised Fusu.Now Fusu has floated to the sky.

Fortunately, Ying Zheng is a noble.

He has learned etiquette for more than ten years so that he will not do some gaffes.

He calmed down and asked Fusu patiently.

"What you mean is that literature, history and classics are completely useless to you. Didn't you servants tell you before teaching you that learning poetry, books, rites, music, and archery will benefit you?"

"They just read all the things in the book to me. I can read by myself, and I can read it by myself. Why do I need the tutors to read the book to me again?"

Ying Zheng frowned, "Reading to you? Aren't they supposed to explain the meanings of those classic books to you word for word?"

"I will only explain "The Analects of Confucius". The rest is just for me to memorize."

"The Analects of Confucius?" Ying Zheng wondered, why is this different from the situation when he was taking classes with the Taifu?

"What did they teach you?"

"What Confucius said was what they taught me. Later I heard the masters praising that the great thing about Confucius was that he knew that something couldn't be done, but he still did it."

Ying Zheng nodded. He probably knew what those three ignorant old men had taught Fu Su.

"What do you think?"

"Confucius is indeed the No. 1 in ancient and modern times. He advocates teaching without discrimination. He is really a teacher for all ages. But there was only one person like him in the past, and there will probably be no more in the future. And Fusu thinks that there is no one. As talented as Confucius, it is natural that he cannot achieve outstanding educational achievements like Confucius."

"My child thinks that it is serious to learn something that is beneficial to governing the country. For example, my child hopes to learn how to collate books; I also hope to learn laws. Only by understanding the laws of our country can we better distinguish between rewards and punishments."

Ying Zheng nodded after listening.

"What you want to learn are all very practical things. But I want to tell you that the "Book of Changes" is the top of the group of classics. It not only inspires the changes in the general situation of the country for future generations, but also tells the principles of human relations. Those who are in the upper class , must be familiar with the "Book of Changes."

"Although there is nothing useful in "The Analects of Confucius", you can cultivate yourself and cultivate your temperament by reading more. You must read all the books. As for your masters, they are all recommended and selected by the princes of the royal family."

"They have been teaching you for about three years, and they have accumulated a lot of achievements over the years. I will reward them well and give them another reward. As for your future lessons, I will choose another famous teacher to teach you."

When Fusu heard that he could change masters, he couldn't help being excited.

"Father Jun, can I recommend some people for Father Jun?"

"Who do you want to recommend?"

"I think that Kai Xiang is good at weights and measures, so he can teach me arithmetic; Wang Wan is full of knowledge, so he can teach me to understand the "Book of Changes"; Meng Tian, ​​the eldest son of Mengshi, is brave and can teach me how to ride horses and shoot arrows."

Fusu's face was full of brilliance, but for the first time Ying Zheng had the idea of ​​kicking Fusu with his feet.

"These people are important ministers of the widow, and they have all gone to be your masters? How do they do things for the widow?"

"Father Jun, besides these people, who else can teach me well?"

"In a few days, I will send a new tutor to Changxin Palace. During these days, you can come and go freely in various palaces. This is my reward for you."

"Boy, thank you, father."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he got up and went to the copper case to deal with government affairs.

But Fusu followed over on tiptoe.

"You can go back."

"Father Jun, I want to see Father Jun's memorials on state affairs."

Ying Zheng was happy today, so he naturally agreed.Furthermore, children need a lot of training.

The moon's shadow moves eastward, after the Xu hour, and will reach the Hai hour.

Ying Zheng was still devouring the memorials among the vast bamboo slips. These were the views on governing the country written by a few knowledgeable people in the court, and some were eloquent and thousands of words of advice.

Ying Zheng read these articles admonishing light corvee and thin Fu, and already felt a little disgusted.

People who say this kind of thing are often hypocritical. While occupying the common people's fields and looting property, they write letters to persuade themselves to lighten the corvee and pay less.

Let me ask you, if the country is light on taxes and taxes, how can it collect taxes to support the army, build palaces, and treat foreign guests with courtesy.

Ying Zheng was so angry that he threw all these bamboo slips aside.

"Burn it, burn it all."

Ying Zheng scolded angrily.

In the vast pile of books, Fusu woke up from his sleep when he heard the roar. He crawled out from the pile of bamboo slips, and there were still two marks of bamboo slips and wood on his face.

Summer is here, and the palace is covered with bamboo mats. Fusu looked at the bamboo slips written in Xiaozhuan, and slowly saw that the bamboo slips were full of villains fighting and fighting, and they fell asleep on the ground.

Seeing his sleepy eyes, Ying Zheng said, "Sleep first if you're sleepy."

Seeing Ying Zheng's intentions, the two eunuchs Fusu will sleep with the king tonight.They led Fusu to the inner room to prepare to change clothes.

Unexpectedly, Fusu passed by the copper platform screen, but saw a person waiting at the door.

In the vast darkness of night, his eyes were exceptionally bright, but there was also a hint of gloom.

"Who is he?"

"This is Zhongshu Li Si, here to present the memorial to the king."

Fusu heard Li Si's word and went straight to the door.

This was the first time he met Li Si.

"Are you Li Si?"

Li Si was a little apprehensive, he probably guessed that the child in the dark yellow clothes in front of him was Fusu, the eldest son of the king.

"Returning to my son, it's true to be humble."

Fusu carefully looked at the man in brown robes in front of him. He was really a weak scholar.But who would have thought that such a person would dare to do such a big thing?

When Li Si heard this, the person who was standing suddenly squatted down.

It turned out that Fusu's footwear had loosened at some point, and the footwear was half off, but he didn't realize it.

Li Si leaned over and re-tied his feet.

Seeing this scene, all the eunuchs had intriguing smiles on their faces.

Fusu was also quite surprised. He didn't expect Li Si to wear shoes for him.

"Li Si, I remember you."
