My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!
Chapter 561: Ask me first if I agree
Chapter 561: Ask me first if I agree (please vote for me!)
Wait until Li Si leaves.
Ying Zheng looked at the thousands of bright lights wandering back and forth in the palace. The lights were originally very weak, but when gathered together, they could make this huge palace shine like a bright moon.
The entire palace is filled with gentle yellow light, which complements the exquisite copper utensils.
The golden bronze crane is lifelike. Under the bright yellow light, it seems to be ready to take off at any time in the river covered with golden sunset.
Ying Zheng picked up the small hook that the palace maid used to fiddle with the wick, pressed the wick down, and then moved it away. The flames were brighter or darker.
"Sooner or later, I will surpass you."
Fusu's words when he was young echoed in Ying Zheng's ears again.
'So, this kid has done a lot of things secretly under the eyes of everyone these years. But I was completely unaware. '
'The tree that hugs each other is born from the smallest grain of wood; the nine-story platform starts from tired soil; a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. '
Upon hearing this long-lost call, Zhao Gao's eyes suddenly brightened.
But Zhao Gao cherished them very much, letting them live in the best stables and feeding them the best horse feed.
Logically speaking, when the king discovers that the prince's prestige is great, shouldn't he send himself over to keep an eye on him? But the king stopped unexpectedly. It can be seen that in the king's heart, the prince is like a red-hot iron basin. He can no longer take it when he wants, and put it away when he wants.
Zhao Gao's family has many slave horses.
This is great, but the chance is gone again.
Zhao Gao hurriedly knelt forward, as if waiting to accept some important mission.
Fusu was so careful that Ying Zheng didn't notice any clues. The current incident only accidentally revealed that Fusu's position in the court was already unshakable and almost universally desired.
In a harsh environment, no matter how good the horse is, no matter how smart the horse is, no matter how talented it is, in a despicable environment, its talents will deteriorate, its appearance will be ugly, and its body will smell bad. taste. Makes you look humble.
But Ying Zheng looked at the lights in the hall, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.
I wanted to use this incident to stand up again in the palace and show off my prestige.
At this time, it happened that the son-in-law Yan Le also came back.
No, it's really bloody.
Fusu didn't even show up at all, he didn't do anything. How can I say that he did something wrong?
"It's okay. Please step back." Ying Zheng dropped the hook and went back to deal with the memorial.
'Being able to make half of the court think of him when something happens cannot be achieved by winning two battles. '
"high--"
"Your Majesty, my ministers are here."
Seeing that the world is about to be unified, everyone will be promoted to official posts and be granted the title of marquis. And he had paid so much for the king, but in the end he still appeared as a slave in front of everyone.
Disasters all happen in the smallest moments and are caused by failure to take precautions.
Ying Zheng was alone in front of the candlelight, meditating.
Zhao Gao followed Ying Zheng, seeing that the matter of punishing the country captain was over, and he would be scolded by everyone again.
If this continues, he may only become Ying Zheng's dog forever.
Zhao Gao looked at the magnificent palace and left the palace listlessly.
'This rebellious son has obviously become the crown prince, but he has done many things secretly that no one knows about. What does he want to do? '
Zhao Gao looked at the good horses in the leaky stables. They used to be so talented, but if they were placed in such a place, they would only slowly become smelly and rotten.
On the other side, there were the finest horses assigned to him by the palace.
Looking at these horses, Zhao Gao suddenly remembered Ying Zheng's abnormal behavior today.
When Zhao Gao saw Ying Zheng like this, he also murmured in his heart.
This is not life.
If the prince hadn't gone to Pei County to find some wise men guided by gods, the prince would still be on the battlefield of Chu State, and he might one day come back with his troops.
Zhao Gao fed these high-quality horses the worst fodder and lived in leaky stables. Unless they were used, he would not let anyone clean the excrement and urine in the stables for them.
A person's influence expands unconsciously, and it cannot be eliminated overnight.
Returning to his home, he started to stare blankly at the horses in the yard again.
These horses are very thin, and some are born with defects, such as lame legs or eye defects, or have ulcers on their coats that cannot be cured no matter how hard they are treated; some are old and dying horses.
Over the years, Zhao Gao slowly discovered something.
Even though they are all old and broken, they have the best materials and the most spacious houses, and they have become so bright and beautiful that they look like they are of the highest quality.
The king finally noticed this without me having to tell him. The prince has established such prestige among the courtiers that no one can shake it.
Ying Zheng clenched his fists. He has no way to start now.
Horses raised in such a good environment no matter what their original appearance is. As long as you carefully use the most expensive horse materials and take the most meticulous care, over time, the horse's fur will be shiny, its limbs will be very strong, and its buttocks will be very fat.
Yan Le is a very powerful warrior. He wore black clothes, wooden clogs on his feet, and a long sword on his waist.
Ying Zheng knew that he could not rush.
"Uncle. I caught two big fish today and came here to honor my uncle. I hope my uncle can eat the fish and stay healthy."
Yan Le respected Zhao Gao, who supported him, as his biological father.
"Put the fish down."
Yan Le looked at Zhao Gao and seemed unhappy.
Zhao Gao's daughter also followed. She knew that while her father received so much wealth and was flattered by foreign ministers, he also suffered from slander and frame-up by many people.
In the past few years, my father has always been unhappy. It must be that the princes and generals in the palace have begun to dislike my father again.
Zhao Xianxian took Yan Le and took him to make fish soup for Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao was still sitting in the yard.
There were either dogs he killed or horses he abused in this yard. The smell was so strong that people who were fumed did not dare to approach.
But Zhao Gao enjoyed this very much.
Zhao Gao was not worried that Ying Zheng would kill him. He had already figured out Ying Zheng's personality and thoughts.
The reason why he felt uncomfortable was that he was worried about his future fate.
After decades of hard work, when I met Meng Yi and the Queen, all my achievements were ruined.
The person with the greatest contribution can only be left aside and leave silently.
And those who have only accomplished nothing will enjoy the worship and praise of everyone.
What a loyal minister, a righteous man, a virtuous queen!
They just live in a good stable, enjoy the respect of the people in the world, and do not suffer the sufferings of the world. In turn, they accuse themselves of being evil.
Damn it!
Zhao Gao looked at the good horses in the yard and really wanted to kill them one by one, but he couldn't do it.
In the evening, his daughter and son-in-law brought fish soup, sashimi, and barbecue to Zhao Gao Gao.
Zhao Gao looked at Yan Le, "Tell me, are those in the yard horses or deers?"
Yan Le looked at Zhao Gao and laughed.
"Of course it's a horse."
Zhao Gao was displeased.
Yan Le immediately stood up and knelt down to Zhao Gao, "Uncle, I was wrong. But I still don't know where I went wrong. Please give me some advice."
Zhao Gao shook his head.
"No, you are just too honest. You are right."
Yan Le lay on the ground and raised his head slightly to look at Zhao Gao's face.
Then he slowly got up.
"Uncle, has something happened in the palace again?" Yan Le was scared.
"I heard that the king wanted to punish the state captain, and then the civil and military ministers ran to Hengyang Palace for help from the prince. The prince came up with an idea and asked General Meng Wu to see Chunyu Yue and ask Chunyu Yue to let Li Si intercede in front of the king."
"Could it be that the king is dissatisfied now and wants to take action on his uncle?"
Zhao Gao and his daughter and son-in-law were naturally disgusted with people from the royal family. Just because the king always asked Zhao Gao to do the dirty work, he even let Zhao Gao be impeached when nothing happened. That's all. The key is that the king is still wary of Zhao Gao.
This is simply not treating your uncle as a human being!
So Yan Le naturally doesn't like Ying Zheng either.
After Zhao Gao heard this, he looked over leisurely, "You know it too? And you know it in such detail."
"Everyone is spreading the word. They say that if there was no prince, the imperial officer might have been kicked out of Xianyang City."
The corners of Zhao Gao's mouth rose slightly.
"If you ask me, what's in this yard is definitely a deer."
Yan Le looked at Zhao Gao with a blank expression.
"My uncle said it was a deer, so it is a deer." Yan Le was very obedient.
Zhao Gao patted Yan Le on the shoulder and laughed.
"You, boy, still lack a lot."
But it doesn't matter, as long as he can take good care of his daughter. No need to be smart.
Zhao Gao asked Yan Le again, "If I asked you to choose two horses. One is very strong, but it is already very old; the other is not strong enough, but has just grown up. Which one would you choose? ah?"
Yan Le said without hesitation, "It must be the younger one. The older one will be useless soon."
Yan Le ate the meat with big mouthfuls.
"Okay. Okay. Okay." Zhao Gao rubbed his smooth chin.
As a man, he has no sons and does not have the right to grow a beard because of his status.
These are the unspeakable pains in his heart.
However, power can make up for all human weaknesses.
-
On the other side, in Xianyang Palace.
Liao waited for a long time, but in the end King Qin did not break his promise.
He still lives in the original palace.
After waiting for several days, Liao couldn't hold it any longer, so he walked out of the palace and wandered around the palace. As a result, Lang Wei in the palace was still very respectful when he saw him.
Seeing that these people are still so respectful to me, it shows that I am still a national captain!
He simply pretended that nothing happened and ran to Meng Mansion again.
When Meng Wu saw Liao coming in, he was so angry that he couldn't help but fight with him.
"How dare you offend the king?"
"How dare I offend the king! The king thinks that I am useless now and is not willing to treat me with kindness anymore." Liao was really innocent.
Without waiting for Meng Wu to say anything else, he sat directly on the table and started eating and drinking.
When Meng Wu heard Liao's words, his whole body suddenly withered like an old tree that had experienced autumn frost.
He stood there for a long time, unable to recover.
"Yes, how could you offend the king for no reason?"
Meng Wu came to his senses, and when he sat down, his eyes were already red.
But when he saw Liao acting completely fine and still grabbing the pickled dried fish to eat, he naturally couldn't help but be angry.
"You can still eat it. I almost traveled all over Xianyang City for you this time."
Liao looked at Meng Wu. He lived in the palace and had not heard any news or rumors. I just thought that Ying Zheng's conscience found out and he just said some angry words at that time.
Wait until Meng Wu 1510 told him the story.
He immediately pointed at Meng Wudao, "You are confused!"
"Am I confused? If I hadn't gone to see the prince, you might have been locked up in prison now."
"Hmph - if I want to leave, no one can stop me. But you have gotten into big trouble."
Meng Wu was shocked by what Liao said.
"Old boy, don't scare me." Meng Wu rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick arms, "I'm getting younger and stronger every year."
"Stop talking nonsense. Be careful and your teeth will fall out tomorrow if you talk nonsense."
Meng Wu covered his mouth worriedly. Because one of his teeth has been loosening in the past few days, and he is always worried that it will fall out.
The more Liao thought about it, the more he thought about it. I was afraid that this matter would be troublesome.
He was no longer in the mood to eat meat.
"You went to invite the prince, and now I'm afraid this incident has caused a sensation in the entire Xianyang City. In order to save me, an old man who is about to be buried, how can you hook up with the prince?"
"Why do you say this? The prince is the foundation of the country. Am I so stupid? I invited him with courtesy and brought my two sons with me when I entered the palace." Meng Wu said very seriously.
In order to save Liao, he was really trying to impress Fusu with sincerity.
"If I hadn't begged for mercy, the prince would probably not even care about you as a teacher."
"Brother Meng, you are so confused. You made a huge mistake without knowing it. If I had known this, I would rather be kicked out of the palace by the king."
"You are so nagging." Meng Wu looked at Liao and saw that he was not in good condition today. He must be unhappy, so why not take this opportunity to kill him on the chessboard.
Meng Wu also took out chess and looked at Liao with gleaming eyes, "Let's play two games."
Liao took a breath of cold air, "Hey! You really got into big trouble this time."
"Are you going to get down? Are you afraid?" Meng Wu felt that Xuan was just fooling around.
Liao pulled Meng Wu and whispered to him.
"You went to invite the prince for me. Who is the prince, and what is your identity? Are you not blatantly telling everyone that you support the prince?"
Meng Wu thought for a while, and it seemed that what Liao was talking about was a big thing.
But thinking that the king and the prince cooperated well and trusted each other, Meng Wu shook his head.
"The prince's will is respected by everyone in the government and the public. As a minister, I go to the prince for help..."
As he spoke, Meng Wu gradually realized something.
"You mean the king..."
"Yes! You just reacted. If the king starts to distrust the prince because of your behavior, tell me how serious your sin is."
Meng Wu listened, and all the Go pieces in his hand fell down.
His hands also began to tremble, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat for no apparent reason.
Thinking about it now, when the prince looked embarrassed at first, he thought it was because he didn't want to save his teacher. I thought that the prince didn't care about his old feelings and was no better than the king.
Now that Liao has said this.
Only then did Meng Wu understand why the prince did what he did that day, as if he was going to be in danger at any moment.
The one who I thought was the most affectionate turned out to be the most unfeeling; the one I thought was indifferent turned out to be the most affectionate.
Meng Wu was stunned. He looked at Liao, "I won't really cause a big trouble, will I?"
Xuan looked at the tall weeping willows that were sprouting goose-yellow green buds in the yard, and a group of ducks playing with anthuriums in the river.
"It doesn't matter." Liao picked up the chessboard. "Come on, let's play chess."
Meng Wu was frightened half to death. He did something that hurt the relationship between the king and the prince. Didn't this bring disaster to his benefactor?
"I have no intention of playing chess anymore."
"Why are you panicking?" Liao pinched the chess piece, "If the king wants to move the prince, he has to ask me if Liao Da will agree!"
Liao had been in the palace for too long and got to know the personalities of King Qin and the Crown Prince. Long ago, he entrusted his political ideals to Fusu.
Meng Wu looked at Liao, very surprised.
In the past, Liao never took the initiative to do anything for anyone. Unless the other party asks him for advice three times and must act according to his words. Otherwise, no matter who it is, Liao will not take the initiative to help.
But for the sake of the prince, Liao actually took the initiative.
Liao said, "Things are not too bad. It's just that your actions alarmed the king. The prince asked you to find Chun Yuyue to ask Li Si to come forward, which has already been given to the king."
Meng Wu was confused: "Explain? The prince has never come forward, how can he give an explanation?"
Liao stroked his beard and said, "The prince asked Li Si to intercede for the king. Li Si is such a smart man. Would you people think of asking his court lieutenant to intercede for me?"
"I'm afraid Li Si realized that it was the prince who gave the order. He knows how important the prince is to the king, and the prince will be the master of Qin in the future, so he helped me."
"In this case, the prince is saying to the king that he cannot take action in this matter and should not take action. But please look at the face of so many people begging for mercy and ask the king to let me go."
Stroke your beard.
"If the prince personally comes to save me, it will only hurt me and make the king even more angry with me. If the prince does not save me, and let the king know that so many people think highly of me, an old man, the king will know that he should not do this."
"If you don't save it, save it!"
Meng Wu listened to the analysis and looked at Liao. He always felt that Liao and Fusu Caishi were from the same world, and that he, the client, had become an outsider.
"I didn't expect that the prince, who looks gentle and calm, would have such a plan in his heart."
Liao looked at Meng Wu, who seemed to be going to the prince to plead for mercy, but in fact he still wanted to beg the king in his heart. He had to get this old boy to side with Fusu before he could react.
The prince and the king are like two ends of a scale. In the past, the king controlled the balance of power between him and the prince, but now, the king can no longer control the relationship between him and the prince.
Otherwise the prince would be in danger.
"Meng Wu, you have caused a big trouble this time. You have caused such big trouble for the prince. If the prince is in danger in the future, you will not be able to escape the blame."
Meng Wu was a famous general, who used to be Wang Jian's deputy general in the army.
When he heard what Liao said, he just felt that the other party was trying to scare him and was completely disdainful.
