My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 618 He misunderstood me! (Please give me monthly tickets!)
"Do you have any way to keep it flying?"

Xiang Liche stroked his beard, "Well, just as the prince said, it lacks power."

"Change it to a gasoline internal combustion engine." Fusu had wanted to do this for a long time. "Use fire as its power. Or use gasoline combustion as power."

Xiangli Che shook his head and kept asking Fusu for advice.

"What is gasoline?"

"Gasoline is made from a type of oil produced underground. This oil is black and is called petroleum. The energy generated by burning gasoline can not only allow kites to fly into the sky, but also allow them to fly for longer."

Fusu is a Bachelor of Arts, but his nine-year compulsory education was not in vain! The simple knowledge of physics and chemistry in junior high and high school is enough to help people of this era enter the technological age.

"Oil bubbling out of the ground... I remember seeing it in that ancient book."

Many times, scientific inventions are just discovering the function of something and cannot be considered creation.

The existence of oil can be traced back thousands of years, but Fusu and his colleagues have no way to prove it.

But what is certain is that in the time of Fusu and his people, this kind of oil was recorded in their books, and they could even occasionally see black oil coming out of the ground when there was a major earthquake somewhere.

But Fusu and Xiangli Che could only give a rough idea. Fortunately, in Mozi's book, there were studies on power and gravity, and Zhang Cang had also read many books on mechanics.

Xiang Li Che went back to look through the books and consulted Zhang Cang, who was particularly fond of reading "leisure books".

Fusu and Zhang Cang joined together to explain to Xiangli Che, one using the thinking and indirection of the ancients, and the other using the experience available to modern people. As the two took turns explaining, Xiangli Che gradually understood what Fusu said, and even determined from Fusu's determined tone that it could be excavated and used.

"Prince, it's not difficult to get what you said. I can go, but if I leave, who will clean up the Momen? Prince, we can also refine the gasoline you mentioned, but who will do it?"

Xiang Li Che didn't think it was difficult to make things he had never seen before, but it was difficult here with Fusu.

Since the establishment of the imperial system, many things in this country cannot be done without the emperor's seal.

"This matter is up to the prince."

Xiang Li Che's words were like a bucket of cold water, pouring cold water on the passionate Fusu's head.

Fusu was stunned for a while.

Compared to the boring and unpleasant life, what is even more painful is that the great things I want to do cannot be accomplished because the power is not in my hands.

Fusu changed the subject, "What about these springs? Can they be mass-produced? I think it's better to be prepared. Prepare more of these items on weekdays, and they will definitely come in handy in the future."

This is a spring. Such a good thing, why not use it in people's livelihood?

Upon hearing this, Xiang Li Che touched his huge red nose again and whispered to Fusu.

"The craftsmen in the palace have all gone to cast twelve bronze figures for His Majesty the Emperor, as well as various ornaments. All we can recruit and use are some extra prisoners..."

"Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor is still observing the Mohist Sect. He has no intention of restarting the Mohist Sect."

Speaking of this, Fusu got angry.

After going to Linzi City in Qi County and going through so much trouble, he finally calmed the hearts of scholars all over the world with Hengqu's Four Sentences. Now scholars are coming one after another, but he treats them like beauties in the harem, thinking that he should just cram them all into the Imperial Academy and be done with it.

I'm afraid that the resentment of the men in the Imperial Academy is no less than the resentment of the women in the harem who have not been favored for a long time.

This is even secondary.

The most important gain of Fusu's trip to Qi County - the idea of ​​using Mohist thought to unite the people of the world and build the most complete ideological system to fit the emperor's system - was not adopted by Ying Zheng.

That's what's wrong.

Fusu used Mohist thought in order to make people accept the fact of the unification of the world, understand and obey the imperial system, and psychologically complete the transition from the feudal system to the county system; from the aristocratic hereditary system to the bureaucratic system. He promoted the benefits as much as possible and let the people support these new systems from the bottom of their hearts.

But Ying Zheng showed disdain for these things and did not appreciate his good intentions.

Fusu took a breath of cold air.

After a long time of struggling in the Imperial Academy, the doctors and scholars were anxious to meet Fusu, because the mission given to them by Ying Zheng was completely different from what Fusu had described to them at the beginning.

Cao Shen advised Fusu, "Prince, let's go back to the palace."

Fusu looked at the sun that was already setting, and had no choice but to say, "Let's go back."

Just after Fusu's carriage had left the Imperial College, Xiahou Ying, who was driving the car, encountered two people blocking the road.

"Who is coming? This is the prince's carriage." Guan Fu asked loudly.

"I am from the residence of the Right Prime Minister, and I have been ordered to invite the Crown Prince to the Prime Minister's residence."

"Prince, shall we go?"

"go."

"But if we go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you will have to go to see the Emperor very late today. What is the Right Prime Minister going to do with you at this time? Is there anything you can't talk about in the palace?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Guan Fu was stunned for a while and dared not speak again.
-
In the residence of the Right Prime Minister.

Fusu looked at the familiar persimmon garden, the familiar lake, and the bridge corridor, and he couldn't help but sigh, "It's really a changing world."

Feng Quji changed into casual clothes and came to meet Fusu with great ceremony, but heard these words.

"Why do you say that, Prince?"

"I clearly remember that this house used to be the residence of Lord Changping. But now it belongs to the Right Prime Minister. I just don't know who will be the owner of this house in ten years."

Feng Quji was so frightened by Fusu's words that he turned pale on the spot. Then he broke out in a cold sweat.

He was prime minister for less than half a year. Fusu became the crown prince when he was seven or eight years old, so he must have been a man without any skills.

Seeing Feng Quji being frightened like this, he felt much happier and laughed out loud in court.

The Prime Minister of a country was frightened by Fusu like this, and his dignity was immediately lost. For a time, he couldn't even stand up in front of Fusu.

Even though there was no one around, Feng Quji still felt that he was molested by Fusu.

Feng Quji held his breath in his heart. He was sure that his past actions had not done anything to offend Fusu, and his daughter was indeed obedient to Fusu and never arrogant.

But what happened that made the prince treat him like this?

"Looking back, the prince and I have worked together before. When the prince was making paper, I went to Changge to visit him in person, so I can say that we have a good relationship."

"Hmm... indeed." Fusu was rather curious, "The Right Prime Minister invited me here today, it can't be to reminisce about the past."

Feng Quji also didn't like being bullied... especially by someone as young as Fusu.

But no matter what he did, he couldn't gain the upper hand in momentum.

"I wonder if the prince has heard some rumors?"

"Rumors are numerous. The Right Prime Minister must say a few words."

"The prince is so angry." Feng Quji couldn't help but remind him. After all, Fusu was really not good enough.

Fusu was very angry when he saw Feng Quji sitting upright. He waved his hand and said, "Don't be so formal. Just treat this place as your own home."

Feng Quji pointed to the ground and said seriously, "Prince is just joking. This is my home now."

What Feng Quji meant was that no matter what happened in the past, he was now the prime minister.

Fusu said, "No matter how the host changes, I am still the only guest. Without me, who can survive?"

"Since the Crown Prince knows this well, why should he act perversely? Sit down firmly and sit upright. Sooner or later, the Crown Prince will be able to sit in the position he wants." Feng Quji looked at Fusu seriously.

Fusu slowly loosened his grip on the wine jug.

Being reminded by the Prime Minister is no small matter.

"What happened?"

"Hasn't the prince heard about it? Now everyone is saying that the emperor is afraid of the prince and suspects that he is plotting rebellion."

"fart!"

When Feng Quji heard this crisp statement, he already had an idea in his mind.

"If it's fake, why does the prince have to meet with His Majesty the Emperor every day?"

"It's not because..."
-
This story began two months ago, when he had just returned to the Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng suddenly pulled him aside to chat about family matters, and during the conversation he expressed his willingness to give him the position of emperor.

Fusu suddenly thought, this is really a good thing. If you give it to me sincerely, I will accept it without hesitation.

But after knowing that Ying Zheng, who regarded power as his life, was just testing him, Fusu said, "The world was conquered by father, so it should belong to father. Only father is suitable to sit on this throne. As father's eldest son, Fusu is only lucky enough to be named the crown prince. How can he take on such a big responsibility?"

However, Fusu's hesitation was caught by Ying Zheng. In fact, Fusu hesitated for a long time, but he thought it was just a moment of hesitation.

"I think this is not what you really mean." Ying Zheng stared at Fusu. Ying Zheng never dreamed that Fusu really wanted to sit in his position!

"Father - I have no such intention."

No matter how Fusu explained afterwards, Ying Zheng never believed Fusu.

So Fusu dug a big hole for himself and jumped into it obediently, and only then did Ying Zheng give up.

The big pitfall is that Fusu said on the spot, "I know it's useless to say anything now. I am willing to show my determination with actions."

"Then tell me, how do you plan to express your determination?"

Fusu looked around and came up with a bad idea.

"I am willing to serve my father every day."

"It's not worth it. Who knows what your purpose is in coming to Zhangtai Palace?"

"Then I come every night to ask about my father's well-being. I know it is useless to say anything now, I just want to prove my intentions with actions."

Ying Zheng didn't speak again.

From then on, Ying Zheng and Fusu never talked about who would sit in that position again, but Fusu went to see Ying Zheng every day.
-
Fusu briefly recalled what happened that day and said to Feng Quji helplessly.

"I was forced to do this by my father."

After hearing this, Feng Quji almost thought he was going insane.

"Prince, you..."

Fusu suddenly had an idea and burst into tears.

"Look at me. I have nothing in my head and hands. What can I do? I can only do a few trivial things to make my appearance look like a shining example of my father and king."

"But Father, he misunderstood me!"

"I can only prove my innocence. When I no longer have to go to Zhangtai Palace to pay homage to my father, it means that my father believes me."
