My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 619 I only have this one son (ask for monthly ticket reward!)

As Fusu spoke, he burst into tears and covered his face with his sleeves.

Feng Quji also tried to stop him, saying, "Prince, walls have ears."

"Now that things have come to this, are you still afraid of being found out? I don't think I will survive this year."

After hearing this, Feng Quji couldn't help feeling sad.

Fusu simply lay on the ground, yelling and shouting.

Feng Quji could only sit there blankly, looking at the plague god he had invited. All his original plans were disrupted.

Feng Quji just stared at Fusu quietly. He didn't know whether Fusu was crying for real or fake.

About an incense stick later, Fusu even heard footsteps outside the wall, and he suddenly stood up.

"The time is approaching. If I return to the palace any later, I am afraid my father will be suspicious. If the Right Prime Minister has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

Feng Quji looked at the clean face and said, "Prince, you should wash your face before leaving."

"Alright." Fusu looked at Feng Quji and smiled, "Fortunately, the Right Prime Minister is a smart man."

Feng Quji said nothing. He had been tricked by Fusu and was still in shock.

In fact, his intention in going to Fusu was the same as when he went to Changge to persuade Fusu. As the crown prince, Fusu should stay in the palace and wait for the succession, which is the best arrangement for everyone.

From top to bottom, except for Fusu, almost everyone is a beneficiary of the stable political system. The vested interests do not want Fusu to cause trouble at this time.

Feng Quji, who had just become the right prime minister, also hoped to implement Ying Zheng's policies.

Small people are afraid of officials, and big people are afraid of history.

Feng Quji hopes to become a wise prime minister whose name will be recorded in history in the future.

I hope that in the future I can be like Ying Zheng and make the right choice at the crossroads of the imperial system era established by Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng.

If he makes the wrong choice at this critical crossroads, he will be cursed for eternity in history books!
Therefore, Feng Quji came to find Fusu, just hoping to use his position as prime minister to tell Fusu in person to stay in the palace, quell the rumors, and protect everyone.

But Fusu's behavior made Feng Quji feel that he was doing something unnecessary. However, his invitation to Fusu did play a role.

He dug a big pit for His Majesty the Emperor, and allowed the Prince to easily jump out of the quagmire set by His Majesty the Emperor.

Feng Quji was keenly aware of a problem.

From ancient times to the present, China's thousands of years of political civilization has begun to change.

Feng Quji couldn't tell whether this change was a move towards maturity or simplicity.

In short, today's era is no longer the era of the past when many princes existed and everyone discussed major issues together.

With the birth of centralized politics, the way politicians interact with each other has changed. It will no longer be the same as before.

Maybe it seems to be full of intrigues and schemes, and not very bright, but this is the choice made by people of this era.

People still need to keep up with the changes of the times.

Feng Quji sent Fusu away and quickly ordered someone to close the door.

Fusu's disrespectful behavior today was certainly a temporary measure, but it made Feng Quji, the right prime minister of the empire who was confident that he could "balance the situation", feel humiliated and uncomfortable.
-
Fusu was sitting in the carriage, thinking about what happened today. Although he reacted very quickly, he might not be so lucky next time.

This time the prime minister was willing to remind him, but what about next time?

Even a small matter like meeting Ying Zheng every day could cause a huge uproar, causing the prime minister to personally invite him. It was unknown how much of a commotion there was outside Xianyang.

Fusu met with Ying Zheng, and seeing his indifferent reaction, he guessed that he didn't know that he was invited by Feng Quji once, so he slipped away as soon as possible.

When they arrived at Hengyang Palace, Fusu called Guan Fu, Feng Jing and Shao Ping to his presence.

"Have you not heard the rumors outside the palace that are unfavorable to me?"

Feng Jing didn't know how to start.

Guan Fu said frankly, "But not only are people outside the palace spreading the news, but everyone in the palace is spreading the news as well. I thought you, the prince, already knew about it. I'm afraid if I mention it again, you will be unhappy."

Three fine lines slowly appeared on Fusu's forehead. "You step back."

"Ah!?" Guan Fu walked out with his sword slung over his shoulder, thinking to himself, 'I knew it would be like this.'

Seeing Fusu angry, Feng Jing ran away under the pretext of changing guard.

Mainly, Feng Jing did not dare to interfere in the affairs of His Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Prince. If these two people were to fight, whoever got close to them would die faster.

Gradually, only Shao Ping was left standing in front of Fusu. It was getting dark, and he had to leave the palace early.

Shao Ping said slowly, "The prince is now like a wild deer trapped in a swamp. The more he tries to move, the deeper he sinks."

"So what you mean is that I should just be trapped in the quagmire and suffer to death."

"A swamp will not remain a swamp forever. The sky will clear up and the swamp will dry up. Just bear with it."

"I am afraid that the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop."

After Fusu's understanding of the ancient ideology and culture, the level of science and technology, and the civilization system of the pre-Qin period, combined with modern people's knowledge, scientific knowledge, and ideology, Fusu already had a completely new concept and design for the Qin Empire in his mind.

It is entirely possible to build a technological empire.

After all, the technology of the Mohist and Gongshu family is so powerful and amazing.

As for Ying Zheng, he could only be a local emperor. He only wanted to build a Great Wall and an underground palace...

The empire's manpower and material resources should, of course, be applied to entirely new areas.

But, he is a prince...
-
The next day at noon, Ying Zheng still heard about Fusu crying loudly in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ying Zheng gritted his teeth in anger, "This drama queen! He came to see me last night and still had the nerve to smile!?"

"In the end, it's all my fault. You're so sweet-talking and flattering, but you don't look like a king."

"Bring him here to me!"

Zhao Gao watched the father and son getting angry at each other and disliking each other. He lowered his head even lower, but he felt extremely happy. Fight, fight, if you don't fight to the death, how can I have a chance?

At this time, Lin Xin stood up:

"Your Majesty, the First Emperor. Now, everyone inside and outside the palace is talking about the fact that the Crown Prince comes to see Your Majesty every day. Now the Crown Prince himself said that it was Your Majesty who suspected him, and this made him feel extremely painful."

"Does His Majesty want to target the Crown Prince after hearing what he said?"

Zhao Gao was stunned, his eyes widened. Lin Xin, how many lives do you have? How dare you say such words to the emperor?

Meng Yi on the side was also stunned for a moment. Why was he interrupting me?
Ying Zheng looked at Lin Xin, who looked righteous, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "This time, Fusu played really hard."

So it's all my fault!
It's all because of my narrow-mindedness.

Ying Zheng was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he could only bear it.

"Tell Fusu that he doesn't have to come to see me every day anymore."

Lin Xin showed his delight. "I will go right away."

Zhao Gao looked at Lin Xin who was so blatantly speaking good words to Fusu, but the emperor did not punish Lin Xin in anger. For a moment, Zhao Gao could not figure out what Lin Xin was thinking.
-
Fusu was not in Hengyang Palace, but had gone to the Imperial College. Xin drove all the way to the Imperial College in person.

"Prince, the Emperor has issued an imperial decree. From now on, Prince, there is no need to go to see the Emperor every day unless there is an imperial decree."

Fusu was overjoyed and announced in public, "So, father believes me. It seems that the slander of the treacherous villain has been broken, and father no longer misunderstands me."

Shao Ping also watched a good show.

This time, Fusu killed all the villains who wanted to slander him. At the same time, he also gave himself a golden bell to protect himself. From then on, if the emperor intended to target him, it was because the emperor was petty and misunderstood him; if the emperor misunderstood him, it was because of the villain.

This is the most brilliant way to protect yourself.

Xin looked at Fusu, his heart full of surprise.

But when he saw that Fusu was surrounded by a group of ministers, including Zhang Cang, Xiangli Che, Shao Ping and others.

Xin's smile slowly froze.

When he saw Guan Fu, Xin left in a hurry.

Fusu looked at Xin's back. He kept asking himself if he had harmed Xin.

Why should we force a gentleman to do something that a villain would do?

Xin never understood Fusu's intention to ask him to kill Zhao Gao. Fusu just hoped that Lin Xin could find an opportunity to find some people to kill Zhao Gao alone on a dark night with strong winds.

But Xin didn't understand. He was trying his best to use the law and the royal decree to judge Zhao Gao. . .

But Lin Xin’s dilemma is also the dilemma faced by the important officials of the Qin Empire.

Both Ying Zheng and Fusu were right. That was why the ministers did not know which side to take. Therefore, Feng Quji hoped that Fusu would give in.

At present, the county system has just been implemented. If Fusu does not get along with Ying Zheng, he will become the target of countless ministers who want to establish a feudal system.

But Fusu, to be honest, has given in enough times and endured long enough!
If a true dragon wants to come out of the mountain, no one can stop it!
This matter soon became a hot topic.

People on the streets were talking about it, "The prince is so wise!"

Feng Quji of the Prime Minister's Mansion couldn't help but smile after hearing Fusu's final answer. "You are indeed worthy of being the heir to the empire."

Now, Feng Quji no longer felt that Fusu's rudeness to him that day was disrespectful. It is not something that ordinary people can do to think of a way out of a crisis. One must have a comprehensive understanding of other people's psychology and the current situation in order to succeed in this matter.

Meng Wu and Liao couldn't help but sigh.

"We worried for nothing."

"I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night, fearing that the prince would get into trouble because of his impulsiveness. I was also worried that the emperor would become more suspicious and harm the prince."

But after experiencing this incident, Ying Zheng and Fusu resolved the matter and quelled the rumors.

But they both felt that they could never go back to the way things were.

Once the container of trust is cracked, no matter what is inside, it will leak out.

In the Pepper Room, the air was filled with the aroma of medicine. The queen sat on the couch and listened quietly to the maid's report.

The aroma of mugwort became stronger, and the medicine on the table had already gone cold.

"Now His Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Prince are living in peace. The Queen does not need to worry."

The queen listened, but felt that something was not right.

She knew Ying Zheng too well.

The king is a person who cares a lot about his reputation, and Fusu has made him suffer a lot of setbacks secretly, so the king will not feel comfortable.

Moreover, Fusu performed well enough to surpass his prestige in the eyes of people all over the world.

The king is suspicious by nature, and now that the imperial system has just been established, he has been very proud of Li Si's flattery every day, saying things like "All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects."

If Your Majesty continues like this, you will be destroying the empire you created with your own hands.

The more the queen thought about it, the more she became worried.

Although she knew that it would be useless for her to say anything, the queen still came to see Ying Zheng.

She could no longer remember how many times she had compromised with Ying Zheng.

In the dead of night, Ying Zheng was reviewing memorials and was immersed in the pleasure of handling government affairs.

He was unaware of the queen tiptoeing into Zhangtai Palace.

For Ying Zheng, dealing with memorials brought him more pleasure than making love with beauties.

The queen walked in the palace paved with golden bricks. Her slender figure, draped in a gauze dress, looked like a leaf in the wind, swaying precariously.

With the bright light from the mermaid lamp, the queen carefully looked at the map cast in copper on the ground and the copper screen. She couldn't help feeling angry.

"What's the use of these things, Your Majesty?" The queen frowned and couldn't help but come to Ying Zheng and point at the bronze screen to question him.

The screen was truly enormous, far beyond anything the queen had ever seen.

"I'm already called His Majesty the Emperor. It was the Queen's idea. Why are you still calling me the King?"

"I don't care about that. It's just a difference in reputation that the king cares so much."

The servants and maids all felt that the queen was going to embarrass the king, and they all tactfully retreated.

The queen watched the attendants and maids leave and decided not to pretend anymore.

"I don't know what the king is thinking about now. Can making these things help the king govern the world and appease the people?"

"I have unified the country, don't I deserve these? I just want to create a better environment so that I can handle government affairs with more pleasure."

"These things will only make the king the enemy of the people of the world." The queen said heavily. It was like some kind of prophecy, poking at Ying Zheng's sore spot.

"Call me emperor!" Ying Zheng snorted coldly, "Queen, you are starting to get self-righteous again. If I didn't make these artifacts, how would people in the world know that I am the emperor? Confucianism is right, there are differences between the monarch and his subjects, husband and wife, and etiquette is used to highlight these differences."

"Has the king fallen into some evil path? He has taken the words out of context for his own selfish desires. If Confucius were still alive, he would personally debate with the king."

Ying Zheng was feeling annoyed. "You and Fusu, do you really want to make things difficult for me?"

Obviously one was his first wife and the other was his only son, but they both came to make things difficult for him.

Do you know that he is the emperor, but the empress and the prince make him feel humiliated.

"We just want to help His Majesty." Thinking of the purpose of this trip, the queen stopped arguing with Ying Zheng on these matters. It seemed that he could not change his bad habits at all. Power and money made him fall into the vortex of materialism and he could not get out at all.

"I heard that your majesty is at odds with Fusu again. This is giving foreign officials an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Ying Zheng felt that every minister around him was loyal to him, but what the queen saw was that everyone was drooling over the power in Ying Zheng's hands, which was a very ugly act.

"Your Majesty, please, for the sake of the country, don't be so hard on Fusu. After a hundred years, it will still be Fusu who will take over the throne."

Ying Zheng was filled with anger. Didn't he understand these things? He had already made his decision.

"I only have this one son, don't I know how to treat him?"

The queen was stunned when she heard the words. It turned out that Fusu was the only one in the king's heart. What about the other princes?

Ying Zheng also felt that what he said was not appropriate, but he said it subconsciously. It would be bad if it got out and his other sons heard it.

In order to hide his inner feelings, Ying Zheng got angry at the queen, "You are just a woman, what do you know about state affairs? When do I need you to teach me!?"

Tears welled up in the queen's eyes, and her eyes turned slightly red. "If my motherland still existed, would His Majesty the Emperor still dare to speak to me like this?"

Ying Zheng laughed, "Why should we be afraid of this? Chu is weak to begin with, and is not strong enough to fight Qin."

Besides, what do these two things have to do with each other?

In Ying Zheng's mind, there was only one woman like the queen in the world. Regardless of whether she was a princess of Chu or not, he would marry her.

After hearing this, the queen sneered twice and left silently.

Just because the queen suddenly lost her temper, Ying Zheng's interest was completely ruined.

Ying Zheng was in no mood to deal with government affairs. He began to wonder if he had really done something wrong. Otherwise, why would the queen and Fusu come to advise him?

Ying Zheng reflected on himself for a while. He felt that he had only committed some minor things that could not be called mistakes at all, and that it was the Queen who was making a big deal out of nothing.

And when the queen left, the guards and maids appeared one after another from nowhere.

Ying Zheng felt that he had lost all his face.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether there is a queen in this palace or not.

That’s what Ying Zheng thought.

The queen returned to the palace and began a "cold war" with Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng was very angry. He would not allow a woman to hurt his face. Even though he knew that the cold war was wrong, he did not turn back and beg for peace this time.

Because, now Ying Zheng no longer needs a queen.

The queen's appearance has begun to age, and she has been seriously injured after the miscarriage. She is very vulnerable to any slight blow.

In Ying Zheng's mind, the fact that the queen dared to contradict him in this situation showed that she didn't want to be the queen anymore. She looked down on the position he gave her, which was the envy of all women in the world.

Ying Zheng consoled himself, "I am too magnanimous to bother with her. If it were another man, he would have abandoned her long ago."

The queen couldn't help but sneer when she heard this. "The emperor probably thinks that he is a rare man in the world."

Ying Zheng and the Queen probably thought this was fun. Two people who care about each other have conflicts and disputes, just like a piece of music, with sweet climaxes and conflicting troughs. This does not affect their feelings.

However, Fusu, caught between these two people, was in extreme pain. Since ancient times, when parents quarrel or have a cold war, the children suffer the most.

Fortunately, Fusu is a modern man, otherwise he would have suffered psychological disorders from these two people.

After seeing that Ying Zheng was becoming more and more outrageous, Fusu no longer wanted to endure it.

"You've driven away Prime Minister Wang and Prime Minister Wei, and you're still thinking about deposing the queen. If you have the guts, just try to depose her!"

When Shao Ping heard this, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, there was no one around. If these words were to get out, it would cause a bloody storm.
