My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 56 A word to wake up the dreamer
Tonight, the moonlight is exceptionally bright.

The clear and transparent moonlight is like tulle and silk, slanting down from the sky layer by layer.

The water of the Wei River flows quietly in the wide channel.

There was a rushing sound of the river water in the open world, and the people in Xianyang all depended on the Weishui River for their livelihood.

Boats were docked one after another on the shore, with lanterns hung on the bows.

There were more than 60 dead men standing on the case, and they all held up their torches and waited on the case.

The ground is full of green grass and flowers, and fireflies are flying on the shore.There is a slight cool breeze in the air, and occasionally the mooing of buffaloes and the barking of domestic dogs can be heard in the distance.

At this very moment, someone was boating on the river, enjoying the clear moonlight.

These two people are Lord Changping and Lord Changwen.

Only nobles can have such spiritual enjoyment.

Common people spend their entire lives just for food, clothing, and warmth.How can we have such leisure time to enjoy?

Both of them were wearing the costumes of Chu State and the unique high crown of Chu State engraved with flower and bird patterns. Their skirts fluttered and fluttered in the wind on the lake.

A group of swimming fish curiously approached the huge shining boat in the middle of the river, but heard some quarrels.

"Qi—you should support Fusu!"

"It's obvious that you didn't listen to my warning. You shouldn't have led the ministers to openly support Fusu in front of the king."

"The prince's idea is obviously a good medicine to cure Qin. Why don't we just go with it? What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this idea is clearly the king's intention, and he just said it through Fusu's mouth Just come out."

Liao said, "You don't understand Your Majesty. Your Majesty has always been upright and aboveboard, and would not play such little tricks in front of civil and military officials. It is you who misunderstood Your Majesty.

"Could it be because Fusu is so smart?" Chang Wenjun said with a smile. "Could it be that someone heard Fusu call him uncle a few times, so he took Fusu as his own. Don't forget who Fusu's father is."

"Nonsense! How could I trust an eight-year-old?"

"Your performance in the court today has really made us all the nobles of the Chu Kingdom wonder who we rely on on weekdays."

Xiong Qi sat down and just kept drinking.

The son of Chu State became the prime minister of Qin State.Who knows his difficulties?

Seeing that Xiong Qi couldn't stop drinking, Xiong Yi advised him.

"In this Qin country, since Shang Yang's reform, everyone has been bewildered like a demon. They don't care about human relationships, but only about laws. In the whole country, there is a huge gap between people's hearts and utilitarianism compared with the six countries."

"You and I have both been on missions to other countries, met their people, and then looked at the people of the Qin people. The gap is so huge. How can there be a country where everyone has their heads sharpened and only wants to fight."

"The state of Qin is bound by the military merit system and has become a war machine. Why don't you support Su to loosen Qin's bondage?"

Xiong Qi couldn't help asking, "Is it good for me to untie Qin?"

"Brother, we are from Chu. Without Chu, why should we be second chancellors!? Let Qin loose, so that Qin can stop attacking Chu. Only then can Chu have a chance to come back to life!"

Xiong Qi stroked his beard and said, "I support Fusu today, and the king will attack me in the future."

"I can not understand what you say?"

Xiong Qingqing clasped his fingers on the table, "The enemy must be surrounded. Don't you understand this truth?"

"Don't you know? What I dislike the most is reading. Those great principles are of no use at all."

"If you want to defeat someone, you must first resist him. If you want to defeat someone, you must give him a chance to make a mistake."

"Have you forgotten how Lao Ai died back then? Fusu's visit to the palace today was just a trick by the king. He wanted to deliberately elevate Fusu to serve as bait for those of us who might take advantage of Fusu."

"The king deliberately went to the old capital Yongcheng to be crowned in order to give Lao Ai a chance to make trouble, and the blood in Xianyang city flowed like a river."

"Don't even think about it. The king loves his son and has protected Fusu in the palace for so many years. How could he suddenly expose Fusu to the government and the public? Think about it with your mind. Is this what the king wants to do to us? The nobles of the country have taken action!"

After hearing this, Chang Wenjun immediately connected the events before and after.

He couldn't help stomping his feet and scolding Ying Zheng.

"This ungrateful man! Heartless and ungrateful, crossing rivers and tearing down bridges!"

"With your temperament, how can you fight against those old foxes in the court? There is nothing to be angry about. I just want to tell you that whoever agrees with Fusu is the king's enemy."

"The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey is cooking." Xiong Yi was very angry and threw Jiu Jue into the river.A group of swimming fish surrounded it.

Then Chang Wenjun pointed out that Xiong Qi was wrong, "Then you shouldn't stop Fusu."

"Fusu will never succeed. Because these things cost manpower, even if I don't stop it, there is no way to implement Fusu's proposition."

"How is it possible? Your Majesty agreed, and there was no one in the civil and military dynasties who objected."

Lord Changping smiled and said, "Fusu simply wants to offer advice, but this is essentially a reform. And as long as it is a reform, it will kill people."

Xiong Yi was shocked when he heard this.

"If we really jump into this pit, it will be like putting our necks under the guillotine of Qin Wangzheng."

"What a king, he is here for his power and wants to kick us all away."

"So, we must secretly support Fusu as the prince, but we must never show our feet on the surface. We must not give Yingzheng a chance. Fusu is the hope of our Chu Kingdom."

"You don't put the treasure on yourself, but you count on your eight-year-old child. When he grows up, you may be closer to whom." Chang Wenjun thinks that it is enough to get along with Fusu, after all, they were also friends at the beginning. It's good for Ying Zheng, but who would have thought that when a child grows up, he will eat meat.

Xiong Qi said calmly, "Fusu won't do it. Moreover, Fusu is the king's weakness. I heard that after retiring from the court today, the king has confirmed the canonization ceremony of the young master. You, me and other nobles of Chu State, please don't act rashly."

Yi nodded, then looked at Qi with deep eyes, and couldn't help saying, "You are becoming more and more like a prime minister."
-
In the middle of the month, Yingzheng fulfilled his promise, and as expected, Fusu was formally conferred the crown prince and granted him the Yuyang Palace to live in.

But he was not crowned king.

Counting Fusu, this is already the third heir to the throne after An Guojun who was worshiped as a prince without a title.

Yingzheng ordered that the crown prince will live in Yuyang Palace until the end of his year.

This is tantamount to not giving Fusu wings, nor giving other ministers the opportunity to easily contact Fusu.

The move came as no surprise.

All the ministers knew that Ying Zheng had always been cautious.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Huayang, under the watchful eyes of everyone, quickly rewarded Fusu with Wanjin and the feudal city.

From this day on, Queen Mi told Fusu every day that she would keep the ten thousand gold and the fief for herself, and return it to him when she grew up.

Fusu naturally just shook his head and said seriously that when he grows up, the gold will be infested with insects and the feudal towns will be turned into wasteland.

The queen was taken aback when she heard it, but in the end she could only let it go.

On the other hand, Fusu never stopped for a moment on concise writing.

He was streamlining the text non-stop. The speed and the high level of communication of the text made Li Si and all the officials dumbfounded.

Now, Fusu's reputation as a prodigy is completely confirmed.

By autumn, Qin's work of streamlining and unifying characters had been completed.

The speed shocked the whole country; as for spreading to the whole world, that was a matter of winter.
