My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 615: How Can You Stay Under Others For Long?
[Please give me a monthly ticket! I am only a little bit away. It will be done soon.]

Ji Bu and Liu Ji had always had some conflicts in their tempers.

Liu Ji didn't care about those small details, but Ji Bu was very concerned about his appearance. There was also the way he dealt with people. For example, when he met a beautiful girl, Liu Ji would stare at her directly and then start flirting with her, hoping to get her.

But Ji Bu would not do that. When he saw a beautiful woman, he would just look up at the sky and pretend that he didn't care about her at all. This kind of character would make Ji Bu miss many opportunities.

Anyway, these are two people with very different personalities.

"Meet the prince."

When they came in, Xiong Qi was drinking slowly. He put his hands together, and his long sleeves covered his face. When the last drop of wine in the wine cup fell into his throat, he slowly put the wine cup down. His eyes were still fixed on the table.

From beginning to end, Xiong Qi never raised his head.

Fusu looked at Xiong Qi and couldn't help laughing. He was worried about leaving these two people to Xiong Qi, what if they betrayed him? But seeing Xiong Qi's arrogant attitude, Fusu immediately dispelled his doubts.

"Both of them were Chu people in the past."

Xiong Qi then slowly raised his head and took a look.

On the left stood a tall and burly man with a beautiful beard and full of energy. For a moment, Xiong Qi even thought of a man with a very similar temperament to him - Ying Zheng.

Xiong Qi stared at it, lost in thought for a while.

Looking at the young man on the right, he had a tall physique and eyes like lightning. However, Xiong Qi had seen countless people, and he had kept more than 500 retainers in his mansion. He could see at a glance that this young man had a stubborn personality, and his clear eyes allowed Xiong Qi to judge his experience at a glance.

Liu Ji knew that Fusu was meeting a distinguished guest, so he must have something to arrange if he was summoned at this time. Liu Ji was still full of expectations.

Ji Bu had no great desires in his heart. When he arrived at the hall, his heart was like an empty cup.

The two stood there quietly, waiting for a long time, but Xiong Qi just looked them up and down. This made Liu Ji and Ji Bu feel uncomfortable.

Fusu asked again, "Why don't you pay your respects to the Grand Tutor?"

After the two men greeted each other, Xiong Qi did not express much. First, these were Fusu's men, and Xiong Qi did not dare to put them around him easily; second, these two people were of low status, and if he rashly introduced them, how would the famous scholars around him view him?

"I will now hand these two over to my uncle. I hope that my uncle will arrange positions for them. Let them look after the mines, or supervise the smelting of steel."

Fusu had only one idea, that is, to let them manage others and stop being managed, so as to avoid them getting upset and causing internal strife in the palace.

Fusu mainly wanted to give his group more opportunities to grow, relying on the current experience. When he returned to Xianyang City, they would not be able to help him if he really encountered any problems.

Li Si alone can defeat all these heartless and mindless people.

But Liu Ji and Ji Bu were very surprised when they heard this.

One of them asked, "Prince, are you going to keep me in Xinzheng?"

The other was not only surprised, but also scared, "I must have done something wrong, the prince doesn't want me anymore."

Xiong Qi's eyes became kinder, he could sense that these two people had a great attachment to Fusu. This was a spiritual and emotional dependence, not a simple subordinate relationship.

If it were any other minister, they would just follow what the prince said, and it would not be their turn to ask questions. If any of his subordinates spoke to Xiong Qi like this, Xiong Qi would cut off their tongues.

Fusu did not answer Liu Ji and Ji Bu, but said to Xiong Qi solemnly, "These two people are both very talented. Please let them make their own decisions on everything, and don't ask others."

Xiong Qi's eyes suddenly widened.

So even if they are handed over to me, I still cannot control them or interfere with them. I can only let them do whatever they want.

"These two are truly loved by the prince."

"It can't be helped. As the crown prince, this is very inconvenient. I hope you can help me."

It was the first time that Ji Bu and Liu Ji saw Fusu being so humble to others. It was just like when a child did something wrong and his parents took others to apologize. Seeing Fusu's sincerity, Xiong Qi said repeatedly, "Okay, okay. There's no need for this between you and me. Besides, why do you have to come here in person? Just write a letter."

"I haven't seen Uncle for a long time, so I came here specially to visit."

……

After making arrangements for Liu Ji and Ji Bu, Fusu set off.

Xiong Qi personally accompanied Fusu for five miles before walking back by himself.

Qu Nan, who was always taciturn, couldn't help but say, "My Lord, you treat the Crown Prince much better than the two princes. But the Crown Prince seems to be a little wary of you, and it was the Crown Prince who persuaded you to give up your position as Lord. My Lord, you still do this now and love the Crown Prince so much, is it really worth it?"

Xiong Qi said, "It is easy to know how difficult it is to leave, so what does it mean to seal the Tang Dynasty with one leaf?"

It’s hard to shake your head.

"Tang Shuyu of Jin was the son of King Wu of Zhou and the younger brother of King Cheng of Zhou. When King Wu of Zhou was having sex with Shuyu's mother, he dreamed that the heavens said to King Wu of Zhou: "I will let you give birth to a son named Yu, and I will give him Tang."

"When the wife of King Wu gave birth to the baby, she saw the word 'Yu' written on the palm of her hand, so she named her son Yu."

"After King Wu of Zhou died, King Cheng of Zhou succeeded to the throne. Civil strife broke out in Tang, and Duke Zhou destroyed Tang."

"One day, King Cheng of Zhou was playing a game with Shu Yu. King Cheng cut a piece of tung tree leaf into the shape of a jade tablet and gave it to Shu Yu, saying, "I will use this to enfeoff you." "

"King Cheng of Zhou's minister Shi Yi asked King Cheng of Zhou to choose an auspicious day to make Shu Yu a vassal. King Cheng of Zhou said, "I was joking with him!"

"Shi Yi said: "The emperor never jokes. Once he speaks, the historian should record it truthfully, complete it according to etiquette, and sing it with music."

"So King Cheng of Zhou granted Tang to Shu Yu. Tang was located east of the Yellow River and the Fen River, with a radius of one hundred li, so he was called Tang Shu Yu. His surname was Ji and his courtesy name was Zi Yu."

It was too rude. "My Lord, this is the foolish Shi Yi of King Cheng of Zhou. King Cheng of Zhou was obviously joking. Isn't he trying to trick King Cheng of Zhou?"

"No. King Zhou Cheng was indeed joking, but once he opened his mouth, he had to do it."

"why?"

"Because he is the emperor. If the emperor does not keep his promise and treats his words as a joke, will he still have prestige in front of his ministers? Will his ministers still obey his orders?"

It was difficult to suddenly realize.

"Compared to the position of a mere prince, or a minister assisting the king, being a prince of that area is more attractive."

Xiong Qi's heart was shaken.
-
On the other side, Liu Ji and Ji Bu looked at each other.

Ji Bu sighed, "I didn't expect the prince would let us both stay together."

Liu Ji was also a little nervous. "Did the prince tell you anything in private?"

"No."

At this time, on the dusty road, Shao Ping asked Fusu cautiously, "Prince, why did you leave them behind?"

"Do you think these two are willing to be under someone else's command for long?"

"But Prince, they are young and inexperienced. Besides, they are in a foreign land and cannot see you for many years. I am afraid they will forget you after a long time."

"If you forget my kindness now, what's the point of having such a person here?"

"What if they vote for someone else?"

"Then surrender. I want to know who dares to use the soldiers I used."
