My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 293: Going with the flow (please give me a monthly ticket!)

Soon, autumn arrived.

Everyone in the Qin State was busy with the autumn harvest, and no one dared to slack off in the slightest.

Prime Ministers Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang, and Shaofu Feng Quji, watched with their own eyes thousands of carriages and horses lining up in long lines to transport grain and rice into Xianyang City.

The prisoners with shackled feet were carrying grains one by one and stacking them in the treasury.

This is the most important place in the palace, guarded by layers of guards, and no open fire is allowed inside.

Dozens of newly built barns are located in the palace, uniformly using wooden beams to support the barns.

All the wooden beams are half the height of the barn. The important thing is to raise the barn high on the ground to prevent the grain from being exposed to water and moisture.

The scene in front of me is very spectacular.

The barn is as far as the eye can see.

There were more prisoners than cattle, sheep, and horses. They were all browned by the sun, and their shoulders were covered with traces of being rubbed by heavy objects.

All hind legs are thin.

No matter what their body shape was in the past, once they became prisoners of the Qin State, they would definitely suffer.

Wang Wan and others stood on the high platform and looked at the scene on the ground.

Their eyes were all indifferent.

Under the high blue sky, on the endless land, the prisoners were moving back and forth on the ground carrying grain and grass according to fixed routes, which made Wang Wan couldn't help but think of ants.

"Perhaps, I am the same as them. I am originally a stooped ant in the world. It is just because I hold a high position that I appear to be a little different. In fact, I am still an ant, but I look like a bigger ant."

When Wei Zhuang heard the words, he looked at the sky with emotion, "That's a good saying. God is always aloof. In God's eyes, each of us is an ant. Throughout our life, we are busy, but we are actually ants. For meaningless things.”

Feng Quji listened, and lines formed on his forehead, "How can it be for meaningless things? How can one ignore power, wealth, and wealth in life? The two prime ministers have high positions in the country and are responsible for major national affairs. How can they say that they are... Where are the ants?"

"Comparing yourself to an ant is a way of looking down on yourself."

After hearing this, Wang Wan just smiled and said, "The young master is still in his prime, and we are still in our prime. Sooner or later, the young master will also understand these truths. Life in this world is all in vain."

Wei Zhuang also said, "I finally understand. Life is nothing more than you lying to me and me lying to you. Everyone lies to each other."

Feng Quji said with a straight face, "Forgive me for disagreeing."

Feng Quji is now being put into great use by Ying Zheng.

He was presiding over the construction of many palaces for the King of Qin, and at the same time supervising the production of paper and the preparation of weapons.

However, he is only the second in command after all.

Neither the top leaders from outside the court like Wang Wan or Wei Zhuang had great power, nor Zhao Gao who could become the king's most trusted minister.

Feng Quji has been looking for an opportunity to take himself to the next level.

Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang just looked at Feng Quji. They only have a superior-subordinate relationship, not comrades. They usually have a superior-subordinate relationship and will not speak too intimate words.

Feng Quji bowed and said, "Quji also wants to go see how the newly built granary is, so please excuse yourself first. It's really my fault that I can't accompany you two."

"Since it's business, let's go." Wang Wan was very generous.

When Feng Quji left, Wei Zhuang looked at Feng Quji's back and said to Wang Wan, "The young master wants to replace you."

When Wang Wan heard this, his expression became serious.

"Unfortunately, he hasn't reached that stage yet. It's still early."

Wang Wan is very confident in his position. "I heard that the prince is already on his way back."

"Yes. I have known about this for a long time. The prince is a man who knows restraint and is not greedy for merit."

Wei Zhuang narrowed his eyes, "Young and promising, shrewd and capable, and give up when things are good. People of the same age who have such wisdom will always hit the wall and refuse to look back."

"You mean there is an expert behind the crown prince?"

"Otherwise. It's a perfect plan."

"It's just that I'm afraid of the one in the palace."

"I don't think so this time. I heard a rumor recently."

Wang Wan looked at Wei Zhuang's expression and attitude and knew that this matter was not trivial. "What kind of rumors?"

"The prince has performed extraordinary feats by beheading 100,000 Chu soldiers. Your Majesty should reward the prince generously. You should be the Prime Minister on the right, and I should be the Prime Minister on the left. On such a major matter that involves rewards and punishments for military merits, will the King not ask us for our opinions? ?”

Wang Wan put her hands in her wide sleeves. When she heard this, she didn't know where to put her hands.

"To reward the prince, you should reward him, but what can you reward the prince?"

Wei Zhuang smiled and said, "Someone spread the word and suggested that the king grant the prince the title of king."

"This..." Wang Wan's face was stiff.

Then he thought of something and turned his attention to Feng Quji who was walking down the platform.

"You mean he's instigating these things."

"For a person to give up the huge benefit of wiping out two countries and be willing to return to North Korea and China, he must have put forward more favorable conditions."

People in this position no longer believe in clear names.

It's not that there are no truly noble people in the world, it's just that people with noble character simply can't survive in the arena of power, let alone sit in this position.

Although Fusu claimed to be incompetent to the outside world, he was afraid of delaying Qin's important task of pacifying the world, so he gained a lot of reputation in the court.

From the courtiers to the common people, everyone praised Fusu.

But people like Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang would not believe these beautiful stories.

If someone can always see the beautiful side of the world, it must be someone who takes the knife for him in the back and carries the sword of wind and frost.

Wang Wan frowned.

"According to what you said, we still can't get away from this matter."

"This matter will definitely cause waves in the court. Do you think the king will let this matter ferment?"

Wang Wan squinted her eyes. Since Wei Zhuang knew so many things and took this opportunity to talk to herself, it was obvious that he already had an idea.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Wang Wan did not want to get involved in the power struggle. In fact, the reason why he can firmly hold the position of prime minister is because he can resist the temptation of power and will never think of using his power to do things that go against Ying Zheng's wishes.

But as long as it is Fusu's matter, any courtier will be involved if he has anything to do with it.

"If you don't do it, you won't stop. Let's borrow a donkey from the slope. Since the prince does not want military glory, he will rush to the throne when he comes back. It can be seen that the prince has also thought deeply. It is only a matter of time before Qi and Chu are pacified. Everything is ready now. All I owe is Dongfeng. If the prince attacks Chu, his achievements will be extremely high, and what will happen in the future will be even more difficult to predict."

"Since the prince has been persuaded to come back, let's go with the flow. Since he is the king, it can also be regarded as a favor for the prince. He can be crowned king early and let the prince stay in Xianyang. It will make the king feel more at ease than letting him lead troops and horses to conquer everywhere. ."
