My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 24 The Temptation of Conferring the King

"If I become the emperor, I will be called the Emperor of Qin. Then I will make my uncle the King of Chu."

Xiong Qi's face was horrified, and then he covered Fusu's mouth in panic.

"You kid, you're talking nonsense again." Xiong Qi lowered his head to talk to Fu Su, but looked around, afraid of being heard by others.

Fortunately, they were sitting among the flowers, and the nearest servant was only a hundred steps away.

"But, how could you think of making me the King of Chu?" Lord Changping looked at Fusu, his eyes full of doubt and even more fear.

"Because your father is from the state of Chu. It's the same as your mother."

When Xiong Qi heard this, his back was covered in cold sweat.

Today he was almost scared to death by Fusu.

The two laughed in the flower bed.

At this time, the servant came from a distance.

"Report to Xiangguo, Your Majesty and Lord Changwen are here. The Empress Dowager Huayang invites Xiangguo to the banquet."

As soon as he heard that Ying Zheng had arrived, Changping Jun suddenly looked solemn and stood up without forgetting to drag Fusu up.

"Let's go. Let's go see your father."

Fusu knew that Ying Zheng would definitely come over today.He knew that these nobles of Chu State in Qin State would often hold banquets behind his back, so he tolerated all these.

But on a day like today, he still has to come.

Still the same sentence, you must do a good job of saving face.

Because Yingzheng still needs these nobles from the Chu state, it is not appropriate to turn against them prematurely.

Lord Changping led Fusu back to the hall, and saw that the seats in the hall had been rearranged.

Ying Zheng sat in the upper seat.

The Empress Dowager Huayang was moved to sit on Yingzheng's right; the queen sat on Yingzheng's left.

Although the old lady could no longer lie down, the arrogance on her face remained undiminished.

Although she didn't say a word, everyone knew that her status was no less than that of Ying Zheng.

Oddly enough, Qin had established too many Chu princesses as queens and had many marriages. Gradually, the nobles of Qin and Chu infiltrated each other's countries and jointly controlled the top officials.

This created a harmonious scene of friendly exchanges between the nobles of the two countries today.

The Empress Dowager Huayang was not as happy as before, she sat up with a scepter in her hand.There is a jewel inlaid on the top of the scepter.

Jiang Lu didn't know when he sat next to Chang Wenjun.

Chang Wenjun.

Another aristocrat from Chu State and a senior official from Qin State.

He has slender eyes, is eight feet tall, has a strong build, and is equipped with a long sword.Wearing dark black clothes, with a very bright and eye-catching rose jade pendant on the belt.

According to seniority, Lord Changwen is the younger brother of Lord Changping.

Unlike Lord Changping, who relied on the princess of Qin to gradually gain a foothold in the court, Lord Changwen was the descendant of the former Chu nobles who stayed in Qin from the beginning, and was supported by a large number of Chu nobles.

When Lord Changping grew up, his desire to be close to Chu became more and more obvious, and he completely broke away from the protection of Princess Qin and turned to the Chu faction of Empress Huayang.

The two naturally joined forces.

The two of them are now very powerful and powerful, one is the right minister and the other is the left minister.

Except for Chang Wenjun, the rest are high-ranking officials of the nobles of Qin and Chu.

Among them, the most conspicuous ones in terms of bloodline are the nobles of the Qin State - Gongzi Ziying and Gongzi Teng.

The rest are some of the concubines who left the palace when they grew up, and their descendants. After they left the palace, some inherited the Zhao surname, and some inherited the title surname.

For example, the descendants of son Chi in the past took Chi as their surname.

Other princesses and consorts also came to the palace.

Fusu had seen it before, but was not familiar with it.

Everyone sat down in order, and the huge hall was crowded with nobles and ministers.

Lord Changping came and saluted Yingzheng again.

"My minister pays homage to the king. I don't know that the king was far away to meet him, but the minister failed to meet him. Please forgive me, the king."

"Uncle Wang is being polite. There are no rulers or ministers here today, everyone sit down."

Yingzheng's stern eyes flicked over Fusu.

Fusu looked at himself, his dark clothes got a lot of juice from flowers and plants, white, red, green, a mess.

Fusu smiled as he should at this age, pretending that he didn't know anything but was very happy.

"Fu Su pays homage to Father Jun. Father Jun has finally come. Just now, great-grandmother was still asking Father Jun?"

Ying Zheng looked at the Queen Mother Huayang, bowed his head slightly and said, "I was negligent. Grandma, don't be offended."

The Queen Mother Huayang had a cold look on her face, "Your Majesty is the head of a country, how can he come to see me, an old woman, every day? The Ai family is already satisfied if they can come today. As long as they treat us guests who came all the way from Chu State as As a family, the Ai family will be satisfied.”

Ying Zheng's complexion did not change.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned sharply.

Everyone looked at Ying Zheng.

At this moment, he is like a silent mountain, still mighty and extraordinary; the Empress Dowager Huayang wanted to provoke him and deliberately displeased him, but he remained motionless as a mountain.

The Queen took the lead and said, "Grandma's words are serious. Your Majesty has always cared about my grandmother. Today, I am busy with government affairs and it is inconvenient to come. However, in order to enjoy the banquet with everyone, I still took time out of my busy schedule to come."

The Empress Dowager Huayang sat on the side dignifiedly, and everyone looked up at her breathing.

"That's right. Your Majesty has always been filial and respectful."

Ying Zheng's face finally darkened.

The queen also paled slightly.

The hall suddenly fell into silence.

Ying Zheng took back his biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhao, and let her live in Ganquan Palace.It's just... Queen Mother Zhao has been under house arrest in the harem.

The Empress Dowager Zhao is not allowed to attend any banquet in the palace.

Fusu stood in the court, watching Ying Zheng sitting alone in the top seat.The ministers and nobles sitting around him looked like jackals, tigers and leopards surrounding him.

Seeing this, Princess Yunyang, who had white hair on her temples, smiled softly and said, "Queen Mother, aren't we going to congratulate the young prince on his first birthday today? How come on such an important day, everyone has forgotten the important things."

Everyone in the hall was silent.

No one cares about a young master with no real power.What's more, his prince.

Everyone gathered together today because the Qin State war ahead has benefited again.

Qin State took another city from Zhao State.

According to the rules, Ying Zheng rewarded many ordinary people as new marquises.

The nobles were very anxious.Especially the nobles of Chu State.If the fight continues, Chu will really be gone, and their glory and wealth will come to an end.

Gongzi Ziying only looked at the ground.As if he didn't exist.

Fusu sat down next to Xiong Qi.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, his action actually made the Empress Dowager Huayang laugh.

"Fusu, why is this kid sitting with your uncle?"

Fusu looked at Lord Changping with a sly smile.

"This is my uncle's secret."

Xiong Qi was still smiling at first, but when he heard this sentence that might bring him death, his smile disappeared immediately.

He hurriedly picked up a handful of nuts and stuffed them in Fusu's hands.

"Eat yours."

The Empress Dowager Huayang saw the intimate scene of the two with a satisfied smile on her lips.

Yingzheng wanted to protect Fusu from them.

She wanted to take the child with her.

Today is a good opportunity.

"This child Fusu, when the Ai family saw him, they thought of the late King Xiaowen."

The queen shot her eyes at Fusu, did he forget what he said repeatedly to Fusu'er every night in the past?
Who you can get close to and who you should stay away from.

Didn't he always stay away from the Queen Mother Huayang in the past? Why is he so friendly with them now?
