My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 563: The prince is surrounded by wise men (please book all monthly tickets!)

Ying Zheng sat in the Jiaofang Hall, listening to the queen scolding him in a soft voice.

Outside the door, the spring rain at night made a rustling sound on the leaves.

Ying Zheng didn't listen to a word of the queen's kind words and advice.

Just asking Fusu to go to Chu State to visit Shouchun actually aroused opposition from everyone in the court.

"So many people are talking for the prince. This is not acceptable."

He didn't leave a backhand to defend Fusu, but Fusu first left a backhand to defend himself.

"Fusu is such a filial son."

The queen looked at Ying Zheng and felt that he looked extremely ugly now.

"The king has been carried away by power."

Why. At this point, I can only blame myself for having strength that is inconsistent with my status.

You can never interfere in the relationship between parents.

Smart people will never get involved in other people's emotional issues.

"He said that you have grown up and are quite prestigious in the eyes of everyone. Now all the civil and military officials in the court are helping you speak."

When Ying Zheng left Jiao Fang Palace late at night, the queen sneered.

Fusu discovered it very early.

"Looking at someone who is not like a human being, you can follow someone without being afraid of him."
-
Early the next morning, the queen came to Hengyang Palace.

So don't force yourself into drama if you have nothing to do. You feel that you should protect the relationship between them. Parents' feelings are much deeper than you think; as for children, they often overestimate their importance in their parents' minds.

"What did your father say to your mother?"

"If this continues, the king may make the same mistake that King Zhao Wuling made in the past."

Power is like this, it can't be seen or touched. As long as you know how to master it, it will fall into your hands and no one can take it away.

Judging from the current situation, as long as he lives well, he will eventually inherit the throne. But judging from the actions of a smart guy like Ying Zheng, it is very likely that he will be forced to choose the Xuanwu Sect inheritance method.

Ying Zheng said very confidently, "Zhao Yong is just a reluctant king. How can a humble man be as stupid as him? He handed over his power and eventually starved to death in the sand dunes."

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng became silent again.

She warned her son very solemnly.

"Father Jun asked me to go, then I will go."

Ying Zheng wandered in the queen's palace, "He is preparing to go against me in the future. Could it be that I was not dignified enough in front of him in the past?"

The queen frowned, "How come you still don't seem to know about this? He is planning to send you out of Chu. Didn't you hear about such a big thing in this palace with ears on all sides?"

He also had to thank Liao. If this old man hadn't caused a lot of things out of anger, how could he have noticed it in advance.

The queen said: "The king made Fusu the prince, didn't he just want to hand over the Qin country to him in the future? Since he wants to be the king in the future, why can't he tolerate his own son becoming strong?"

Fusu sighed, "I don't want to either."

The queen retreated from everyone, fearing that others would not know that she was going to whisper to Fusu.

Seeing Fusu like this, the queen began to comfort Fusu again, "Your father has always been proud of you, but he has no choice but to be on that throne."

Just because we don’t want to make the same mistakes that King Zhao Wuling once made, we have to take precautions before they happen.

The queen slowly realized it, "I don't think what Junfu said is false."

Ying Zheng looked at the queen, but he was not angry at all.

"But I believe that no matter how he treats you, he will still have some feelings for you."

"The king used to think that Fusu was cowardly and not worthy of serious matters; now that Fusu is powerful, the king thinks that Fusu is suspected of overstepping his bounds."

"No. I am very sober, and more sober than I have ever been before."

I knew it was so. So why did this group of people come to visit him to plead for Liao.

The queen will stand up to defend Fusu because Yingzheng wants to punish Fusu, and she will also stand by Yingzheng and say good things to him because Fusu is dissatisfied with Yingzheng.

Fusu didn't care.

Fusu's complete indifference, even fearlessness, even surprised the queen.

Since Fusu is so popular in the court, he must not be allowed to stay in Xianyang all the time.

The officials who went to Jingchu felt that it was far away, so it was obviously just an excuse.

It's just that the queen's biggest problem is that she overestimated her status in the hearts of both father and son, and underestimated the relationship between Fusu and Yingzheng and his son.

Ying Zheng's impatience shows that he has a guilty conscience.

The queen was like this. When she found out that Ying Zheng was too strong, she felt sorry for her son; when she found out that her son was getting stronger, she started to defend her husband.

Also good.

"Your father-in-law thinks you have too much power and wants to take action against you."

Fusu had expected it, but said, "I have no power, so why am I guilty?"

The queen's role in the relationship between Ying Zheng and Fusu's father and son is that she has no role at all! ——
The days in the palace soon returned to calm.

Ying Zheng was strongly remonstrated by his ministers, but in the end he did not let Fu Su go out to guard the border.

After this, the king of Qin was uncharacteristically quiet. After encountering such a setback, he rarely became quiet.

Everyone gradually forgot about this matter and were all waiting for the good news about Wang Ben and Meng Tian.

The queen also believed that her advice played a big role. She is in a good mood recently and often takes her daughters-in-law to Shanglin Garden to view spring flowers.

In the Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng played together and listened carefully to the statements of the people in the Hengyang Palace.

"The prince treated Xiao Sheren as if he were his own brother, asking for his welfare and making sure that he lived comfortably in Xianyang City. He also took great care of the Lu family brothers, asked the young master to endorse them, and recommended them to the palace as errands, all for Lang Guan."

"The prince's ministers have served the prince for many years, but no one has ever received such courtesy from the prince. Even Liu Ji and Xia Houying who come from the countryside are very generous."

"But although each of these people has something extraordinary and is very good at dealing with people, they have integrated into the Hengyang Palace. They just don't have any great talents. After all, a mob is not worthy of being compared with the celebrities hired by the king from all over the world. Comparable."

"But there is only Xiao Sheren. The villain has been in the palace since he was a child. He has never seen a person who can make everyone who sees him be convinced by him. Many officials in the palace want to let Xiao Sheren see him. Leave others by your side.”

Ying Zheng stroked his beard.

"Okay, back off."

The eunuch was about to go out, and Zhao Gao immediately stuffed a lot of gold into his trousers.

The eunuch's face was full of joy, and he ran away with the money.

"There are many sages around the prince now, so we cannot make him strong. If he is strong, there will be changes."

Zhao Gao came up with an idea, "Then we must first attack this Xiao He. Fortunately, relying on the prince's ability, Xiao He cannot gain a foothold in the court."

Ying Zheng remembered that when he first met Xiao He, this man said a lot to protect his relationship with the prince.

It can be seen that this person does not dislike others.

"Since Xiao He is in charge of the compilation of history books at Taixue, let him be transferred to the Shangshu Desk."

At this time, Ying Zheng was already imagining Fusu's angry but helpless expression when he heard the news.

Boy, it’s still early for you to fight against the few.

Zhao Gao lowered his head and hesitated.

"What's wrong, do you think it's inappropriate?"

"Your Majesty, Xiao He comes from the countryside. Who did he rely on to come to the palace?"

"Fusu, of course."

"Then the king thought that Xiao He sacrificed his life for the prince in the palace, and was promoted by the prince to go to the Taixue to take charge of the task of sorting out books. What is the purpose of the king suddenly sending Xiao He to the minister's desk? What would Xiao He think of the king?"

Ying Zheng murmured to himself, "It is indeed inappropriate to do this."

"Yes, Your Majesty, your dispatching Xiao He to suddenly come to the Chancellor's Desk will not show the talent that you value in him. Instead, it will put Xiao He in a dilemma between you and the Crown Prince. Xiao He will only miss his old friendship with the Crown Prince even more." ”

Ying Zheng thought, Zhao Gao was indeed right. A supervisor from Imperial College suddenly came to Zhangtai Palace to do some clerical chores. This Xiao He only resented me.

And if word spreads, it will appear that the people are very afraid of Fusu, or they admire Xiao He's talent...

No, none of this makes sense. If it spreads, it will damage my dignity.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Zhao Gao, that's not just bad!

In Chinese history, a person can be regarded as a politician.

When he made up his mind to do something and complete the transformation of his identity. The king in front of him, who trusted him wholeheartedly but planned to control him forever, had long been an obstacle.

"Your Majesty - this Xiao He, he used to be a Qin official in Peixian County. He is good at solving cases and is famous throughout Peixian County. No one is dissatisfied with the cases he decides. Therefore, the villagers respect him very much."

"What he is good at is legal documents. But I heard that the prince asked him to compile classics in the Imperial Academy. In fact, he was raised to study in the Imperial Academy."

"Because Xiao He doesn't know how to correct literary classics, those things are all handled by doctors."

"Just imagine, how could a person like Xiao He be willing to study in Taixue all day long and bury his own talents?"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"what do you mean?"

"Let Xiao He go to Tingwei's Mansion. Since Xiao He has already registered as an official in Taixue, and has experience in handling cases in the past. And Tingwei's Mansion has always had the practice of selecting the best among Taixue's officials when selecting officials. Then the king can let Tingwei Because of the official selection, Xiao He was transferred."

"Xiao He is just a mere prince, and when he first arrived in Xianyang, he only had a small reputation in the palace. He was transferred to the Tingwei Mansion for official duties. It was not only a good place for Xiao He to show off his talents, but also outsiders would not think anything of it. No one will think it’s the king’s intention.”

"But if you bring him directly to the Chancellery, wouldn't the king lose his dignity in front of the ministers?" From the moment Zhao Gao mentioned the Tingwei Mansion, Ying Zheng was actually moved.

Because Li Si is his person, and Li Si is smarter than anyone else.

He will definitely handle this matter cleanly and separate me from this matter.

"Good." Ying Zheng patted Zhao Gao, "Over the years, every time I encounter something difficult to solve, Gao, you are always able to give me good ideas."

"That's it."

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient about this matter. After half a month, I will personally convey this intention to Tingwei. Tingwei will handle the matter for the king. When Xiao He makes meritorious service in the future, the king will take the opportunity to promote Xiao He to the position of king. Around you, even in the court."

"Next, the king can do whatever he wants."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao with ecstasy in his heart.

"Actually, having you by my side is better than thousands of troops. I have really wronged you these days. When Qi is captured, I will give you another reward and let you go to the court to discuss matters. I know You have always wanted to get rid of your status as a minister."

Zhao Gao felt warm after hearing this.

But if only it were that simple.

Zhao Gao knelt down and shook his head, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the ministers in the court will criticize this matter. I don't want to embarrass your Majesty."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao in surprise. When did Zhao Gao become a man of faith? He chose Zhao Gao because he was bad enough, greedy enough, and would be hated by everyone.

Zhao Gao suddenly realized that Ying Zheng was beginning to doubt his purpose.

"Since I was impeached by Doctor Meng Yi last time, I have never dared to go out, let alone discuss politics in the court. Gao found that there is a big difference between internal ministers and foreign ministers. Internal ministers are not used to it."

"If the king insists on rewarding the villain, I beg the king to appoint the villain as the magistrate of Zhongche Mansion. But if the queen knows about it, she will not be happy." Zhao Gao said very embarrassedly.

Zhao Gao knew very well what people around him thought of him.

Ying Zheng wants to take advantage of his badness, and everyone around him hates his badness. Anyway, Yingzheng just wanted Zhao Gao to rely on him.

If he goes out again, the result will be the same.

Ying Zheng stroked his beard and said, "The queen is sick."

Zhao Gao asked again, "I have invited someone else, but I'm just afraid that the king will be angry."

"Come to think of it-"

"I beg your Majesty to grant me a beautiful woman."

"A mere beauty, nothing to mention."

"Please, Your Majesty, give me the beauty Xu."

Xu Meiren, the latest beauty from the Chu Kingdom, has a slim figure, and Ying Zheng can't put it down these days.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was naturally stunned.

Zhao Gao was frightened and knelt down again, "This woman has a very deep ecstasy. It is said that a woman with a deep ecstasy is prone to pregnancy. I have been childless for many years. Please give me your best wishes."

Ying Zheng nodded.

"Yes, yes."

Then give it.
-
Just like that, the gears of fate began to turn again.

Who would have expected that Xiao He, a local wealthy scholar, would suddenly become the prince's successor.

Within half a year, he was favored by Tingwei Li Si and was transferred to Tingwei's Mansion.

Xiao He, who received the recruitment order, naturally refused to accept it.

"I am already a prince, how can I go to the Tingwei Mansion?" Xiao He had already figured out the operation mechanism of the entire Qin State's bureaucracy.

Although there is nothing wrong with this kind of dispatch in terms of legal documents, it actually involves two forces, the palace and the temple. If he leaves, it will hurt the prince's face.

What does this Tingwei want to do? ?

"I am a palace official, how can I enter the imperial palace?"

The official who came to issue the recruitment and appointment letter said to Xiao He, "This transfer order has been approved by the king. It is already the king's order."

When Xiao He heard this sentence, he understood everything immediately.

It's the king who doesn't want him to be with the prince.

No matter how shrewd Li Si is, he still knows Ying Zheng's thoughts. But in this matter, even with his hands and eyes, he couldn't force Xiao He to enter Tingwei's mansion.

Can I offend the prince openly?
We have to confess Ying Zheng.
Soon, Xiao He came to Hengyang Palace with the transfer order.

He took off his robe, leaving only his obscene clothes, and came barefoot to Fusu.

"What are you doing?"

"I can no longer serve the prince in the future." Xiao He handed the silk book to Fusu.

"Ok?"

After Fusu looked at it, the corners of his mouth naturally twitched.

"Robbing someone with your son, right!?"

"You're such an old man, can you play something high-end?"

"Aren't you childish?"

Fusu threw the silk book to the ground and stepped on it several times.

"Just pretend this doesn't exist. Just leave them alone. I said so!"

Fusu stamped his feet.

The surrounding palace people were stunned for a moment.

"Who dares to make the prince so angry?" Liu Ji stepped forward and asked.

"None of your business!"

Liu Ji was startled. What must have happened to make the prince so angry?

"Go back!"

Anger can devour people's reason, Fusu needs to calm down.

All the people in the surrounding palace dispersed.

Xiao He stood in front of Fusu and said, "I would like to go and see the Tingwei myself."

Fusu frowned, "Now that the matter has come to this, there is no room for change. It has been stamped with Jun's father's seal, which shows that Jun's father agreed."

Xiao He did not expect Fusu to see the problem at a glance.

"That's what Tingwei said when he sent someone to send the transfer order. It's just that I will not go to Tingwei's mansion."

Xiao He's tone was very firm.

"It will be of great benefit to you if you go." Fusu had begun to calm down and was analyzing the problem. "Entering Tingwei Mansion, with your ability, it will not be difficult to become a doctor in the court in the future."

Xiao He was not moved after hearing this.

"I was invited by the prince to Peixian County, and then I was able to enter Xianyang. Now how can I abandon the prince just because of his power and wealth? I would rather disobey and accept the punishment."

Xiao He knew that Qin's laws stipulated that those who refused to take office would be stripped of their official status, and the descendants of the clan would no longer be able to serve as officials in the future.

And the matter is not just that simple, he also has to hand over his family's property to be confiscated to pay for his crime.

In a nutshell, the entire Xiao family's career is over.

But Xiao He would rather do this than let Fusu lose face. For a person with such a high status as the prince, appearance is majesty and is more important than anything else.

"If you don't go, the whole family will be implicated. It's better to go."

"Prince..." Xiao He's voice was hoarse.

"This is my order. Do your job well in Tingwei's mansion. Tingwei respects you, so don't let him down."

Xiao He refused again.

"I would rather return to Pei County than accept this appointment."

"This is an order! My order."

When Xiao He heard this, he suddenly lost the courage to resist and looked at Fusu blankly.

"My father wants to establish a brand new system. I actually support him. But my existence seems to be a hindrance. Don't worry, I will be fine."

After hearing these words, Xiao He put on his clothes again.

After he packed his things, he was about to leave the hall, and when he came to Fusu again, he was about to say goodbye.

"No need to say more. If someone bullies you, come back and tell me." Fusu looked at Xiao He. He would not take this kind of order to heart.

If Ying Zheng transfers someone else, maybe he will really change his mind after three to five years.

But Xiao He would never do that.

"I obey." Seeing Fusu's attitude and look, Xiao He was convinced that he had made the right choice in Pei County.

Xiao He bowed deeply, and then walked away with a graceful step, no longer sad or sad.

In Hengyang Palace, Fusu couldn't help but murmur.

Ying Zheng went crazy and came up with such a bad idea.

Why does he think that doing this can dissolve his own power? This is obviously to strengthen himself.
