My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 614: Unexpected Fortune
The group followed Fusu and along the originally planned route, they began to "raid" and visit some remote towns.

Of course, not everyone is so lucky as to be tried by Fusu and a group of Qin officials like Chen Ping.

Besides, there aren’t so many shocking unsolved cases in this world.

Most of them are civil disputes.

However, this tactic worked surprisingly well when he was inspecting remote rural areas and using Qin law to judge cases.

For a time, in the central area of ​​the Central Plains where Qi, Lu, Zhao, Wei, Wu and Chu were mixed, the local powerful officials immediately became much more honest.

"Your Highness's move of killing a chicken to scare the monkey is truly a brilliant one." Xiong Qi toasted Fusu.

"In the short term, they dare not even gather openly, let alone secretly trip up the Qin officials. This will be of great benefit to His Majesty the First Emperor in governing the local areas and exerting his power over the world."

Of course, the most important thing is to be able to quickly win over the hearts of the people for Fusu as quickly as possible.

Fusu just smiled and said, "Thank you. I will do as you command."
-
When he was about to arrive in Xianyang, Qin State, Fusu deliberately took a detour to take a look at his fiefdom.

Xiong Qi followed Fusu's words and came to Fusu's fiefdom, Yingchuan County, to personally supervise the major projects of mining, smelting fine iron, and forging steel in Yingchuan with more than 100,000 surrendered soldiers from the Chu State.

It must be said that since Xiong Qi left Xianyang and came to Xinzheng, Yingchuan County, it was like a fish in a water tank returning to the stream.

Xiong Qi's life is very comfortable.

In this place, he is almost the 'king'!
This is all thanks to Fusu. If Fusu hadn't shown him a clear path, he would probably be fighting with Ying Zheng to the death, with both sides suffering losses.

So when Xiong Qi heard that Fusu had arrived in Xinzheng, he not only welcomed him with joy, but also prepared for Fusu many treasures that had been presented to him over the years in Yingchuan County.

There were ten huge boxes filled with gold and silver objects, and there were countless agates, gemstones and pearls.

At the banquet that Xiong Qi hosted for Fusu, these ten large boxes were quietly placed on one side.

The candlelight not only illuminated the new house built by Xiong Qi, but also made the gold, silver and jade articles emit their inherent luster.

Xiong Qi was so happy to see Fusu coming.

Fusu looked at the gold, silver and jade articles all over the floor and asked in surprise, "How come my uncle has so many treasures?"

"They were all donated by local officials and wealthy families."

"It's only been half a year. And there are so many."

Fusu looked at the gold and silver on the ground and made some calculations. The treasures Xiong Qi gave him amounted to ten large boxes. But given his personality, he would only be willing to give him one tenth of the treasures at most.

That is to say, in just half a year, Xiong Qi obtained as many as a hundred boxes of treasures. This is really an incredible number.

Xiong Qi knew what Fusu was thinking, and with his face flushed from drinking, he told him the truth, "This is all thanks to the prince. Everyone in the world respects the prince, and Yingchuan is the prince's fiefdom."

"Xiong Qi is just under the protection of the Crown Prince. Because of his status as a tutor, he is respected and loved by everyone. Today, I will give half of my earnings for the past six months to the Crown Prince."

Fusu said to Xiong Qi, "I heard that a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole. Many great things fail because of not paying attention to details. Many great people died in accidents and had no good results. It was because they did not pay attention to the behavior of their subordinates."

Xiong Qi became unhappy when he heard this.

"I presented gold and jade to the prince, but he refused to accept it?" I felt sorry for this kid. I was so sincere to him that I gave him half of it, hoping that he could use the money for the right purposes in the future, but he actually said this.

Fusu asked, "So much gold and silver, did it come from a legitimate source?"

Xiong Qi looked at Fusu. Fortunately, both of them were nobles, so so far, neither of them had an ugly expression.

Suppressing his anger, Xiong Qi said to Fusu, "These are the gifts those people gave me. How can giving gifts be considered a bribe?"

Xiong Qi said, and called the servants, "Cover those boxes."

Fusu looked at Xiong Qi to comfort himself. His teacher Han Feizi had long said that human nature is evil and people seek benefits and avoid harm.

Most people can't stand the test of interests. He didn't need to go against human nature. "Since it's my uncle's sincere love, if I refuse, I will be a betrayal."

Only then did Xiong Qi finally put his heart at ease.

"Speaking of which, I also have good news to tell Uncle."

Xiong Qi looked over at me with great interest. He even knew to bring me good news.

"I have met many talented people during my official trips over the years. If I stay in Xianyang for a long time, it will really bury their talents. How can I bear to watch them waste their time every day?"

Guan Fu heard this and stared at Fusu with his eyes wide open, "Prince, how could you think like that? You should not have the heart to do such a thing!"

When Xiong Qi heard this, his expression changed slightly.

"I plan to leave some people in Yingchuan, firstly to relieve my uncle's worries; secondly, to give these young people a place to make achievements, so that they can have a place to display their strengths."

In fact, the main reason was that there were too many capable people around Fusu. On the one hand, they quarreled frequently, which made Fusu annoyed; on the other hand, each of them was talented and would not be content to just be his eunuchs and follow him around as his little followers all day long.

With the precedent of Zhang Cang, they could no longer hold back.

Fusu toasted Xiong Qi with a kind smile.

"Uncle, isn't this good news?"

Since Xiong Qi arrived in Yingchuan County, which was "leaderless", he immediately gained the support of many Han and Qin people, and he also had hundreds of thousands of Chu surrendered soldiers under his command.

In the entire Yingchuan County, he was the most powerful person for a while.

Fusu's words almost forced him to turn against the emperor in court.

After all, the world now belongs to the First Emperor, and the future belongs to Fusu. He can only be regarded as a minister, subject to his control.

Xiong Qi bowed with both hands, "The prince said it was good news, how can it not be good news?"

"Just with Uncle's words, I feel much more relieved. I don't trust anyone to leave these noisy young people to. Only when I leave them to Uncle can I sleep peacefully."

Xiong Qi just thought Fusu was being hypocritical and said that on purpose. In fact, he really wanted those young people to watch him.

Although Fusu's actions were not very decent, this just shows that he was a relatively wise person and would not act on emotion.

Only by cooperating with such people can you get what you want in the future.

Fusu saw that Xiong Qi didn't agree with his words, so he reminded him again and again, "Uncle, I have said before. These people are not ordinary people. I ask you not to look down on them and treat them as my brothers."

Xiong Qi was shocked.

"The prince is really respectful to the wise."

"The main thing is that if these people are not virtuous, I am afraid they cannot be controlled."

Xiong Qi stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, "I've heard that the prince found common people in the countryside and treated them with great courtesy. I want to see what kind of people they are."

Fusu thought that it would be better to introduce them in person, so that those people would not feel that he had abandoned them and was enjoying wealth and luxury alone in Xianyang.

In fact, Fusu was just worried that their personalities would easily cause trouble in Xianyang City.

"Send Ji Bu and Liu Ji in."

Upon hearing this, Cao Shen, who was guarding Fusu, breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

When Feng Jing heard this, he was overjoyed.

Good, finally two of them are gone. Now no one will compete with him for the throne.
