My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 625: Mine, all mine!
"In my opinion, this matter is not that simple." Feng Jing, who stayed in the Xianyang Palace, also grew a beautiful beard.

"What is your purpose in wanting to revise the Qin Law? The current Qin Law was reviewed and revised by the former Minister of Justice, now the Left Prime Minister, and Zhao Gao, who was by the emperor's side. Revising the Qin Law is like slapping the Left Prime Minister in the face, isn't it?"

Zhang Cang bowed with both hands, he couldn't wait.

Zhang Cang was too lazy to pay attention to Feng Jing, who was sitting in an awkward position. He couldn't say anything human.

"I heard that the Emperor had wandered around the orchid pond at night wearing a silk robe that glowed in the moonlight. As a result, robbers attracted him and nearly beat him up."

When Feng Jing heard this, he immediately looked nervous.

"Xianyang City has the best public security in the world. How could something like this happen?"

Zhang Cang waved his sleeves, looked at Feng Jing, and said righteously, "I don't think so. I will join the ministers in making a joint memorial to advise His Majesty the Emperor to wake up from his beautiful dream of pacifying the six kingdoms, open his eyes, and take a good look at these things."

When Shao Ping heard this, he was startled.

Well, you Zhang Cang. You are just bored.

No one told the truth that 'His Majesty the Emperor has always been naked', but you took the initiative to go forward.

"Then go alone. If you die, don't let your blood spill at the gate of Hengyang Palace."

Shao Ping was very serious.

Zhang Cang was not to be outdone. He looked at the wide-open palace gate in the distance and shouted, "Bear, bear, bear! Hide, hide, hide! What a thousand-year-old turtle!"

"If this continues, all our family assets will be lost."

Shao Ping looked at Zhang Cang. For the first time in his life, he felt the urge to fight someone.

"If you yell again, I'll kick you out!"

Zhang Cang and Shao Ping formed a horn with each other, and neither of them gave in to the other.

Chen Ping was just tidying up the treasury when he came back to see the two men arguing.

"What day is it today? The most conservative and the most radical people in Hengyang Palace are actually quarreling."

Feng Jing didn't want to intervene, as these two were not easy to deal with. But he thought that he was a halberd bearer, and if he didn't intervene, his sister, the future queen, would definitely beat him up.

"It's so hot, why are you talking about this? Let's cool down."

"You ask me why I'm talking about this?!" Zhang Cang looked at Feng Jing with his eyebrows raised. "Now the whole Imperial College is talking about this matter. Do you know how long those common people have endured it? If they endure it for three to five years, there is still room for recovery. But if they endure it for ten to eight years, then the world will be in chaos!"

Zhang Cang raised his sleeves high and roared in Hengyang Palace.

He has always been the kind of person who is willing to take risks.

The main reason was that Zhang Cang had tolerated Ying Zheng for too long in the Xianyang Palace. This guy was ambitious and liked to keep treacherous officials. He was also extremely overbearing and selfish, and he didn't care about human affairs at all!

Including this year, he has endured it for fourteen years. Anyone would explode, let alone Zhang Cang who always likes Mencius's words.

"Fifth Doctor, I advise you to be more respectful! My sword is not to be trifled with." Feng Jing naturally would not show weakness.

Zhang Cang just stared at Feng Jing. He was just about to criticize the "good deeds" of Feng Wuzhe and Feng Quji.

Shao Ping also asked loudly, "Zhang Cang, when will you shut up?!"

Fusu sat in the hall, listening quietly to the quarrel outside the door.

He was very curious. With so many people in the palace, was there no one who could calm Zhang Cang down?

Not far away in the hall, Chen Ping saw the three of them arguing, so he did not come out, but just watched secretly.

The Fifth Minister Zhang Cang was dissatisfied with the First Emperor. If the Crown Prince still kept the Fifth Minister, it would mean that the Crown Prince understood the First Emperor's problems.

If he was driven out, it would mean that the prince wanted to draw a clear line between himself and people like Zhang Cang.

I heard that everyone in the Imperial Academy was waiting for the prince to advise the First Emperor, and everyone was talking about this matter.

The three of them were arguing in the yard, and then a woman in gorgeous clothes slowly walked down the steps, with her hands folded in front of her waist. Behind her followed four maids, all of whom had dignified looks.

She smiled sweetly, with two dimples at the corners of her mouth.

"Fifth Doctor——"

When Zhang Cang heard this soft voice, he felt as if he was struck by electricity, and all the bones in his body became numb.

"Meet Madam Gan Tang."

"It's amazing that you can still see me." Feng Wanwan still smiled, with two dimples at the corners of her mouth.

Zhang Cang looked around and said, "Madam, I was wrong."

"What's your fault?"

"I...I was just excited at the moment. I hope Madam will not blame me."

"I heard that Xiang Liche and his team were inventing equipment, or studying gravity and the like. They are often short of manpower."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cang blushed and hurried away with his buttocks tucked under his tummy.

Feng Wanwan stood on the stairs, looking at Zhang Cang's receding back, and the dimples on her face slowly disappeared.

"Being impatient is not a good thing. What do you think?" Feng Wanwan looked at Feng Jing and Shao Ping.

"Madam, you are absolutely right. But I am afraid that even if you deal with Wu Dafu Cang this time, he will use the same tricks again next time." Shao Ping was helpless.

Feng Jing couldn't help but complain, "It's because he is a disciple of Xunzi, and he made contributions to the rectification of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Now he is the head of the Imperial Censorate. He has taken over the Hundred Schools of Thought from the Crown Prince."

"People from various schools of thought, especially the Confucian school of Mencius, followed Zhang Cang and made comments all day long, attacking the various malpractices of the government. Others followed suit."

"He really wanted to poke a hole in the sky. But looking at him, if the sky really fell, he wouldn't even be able to hold up the door of his house."

Feng Jing was indignant, "If I were in charge of those scholars, they would definitely obey me. I would definitely not embarrass the prince."

Shao Ping looked at Feng Jing and said, "I don't think Feng Jing has realized how serious the problem is. Is he blaming Zhang Cang? He is clearly thinking about the job of managing the Imperial College and wants to be an imperial censor."

The dimples on Feng Wanwan's face disappeared.

"Okay. I think you are the same as Zhang Cang. You just lack an opportunity. If one day you are in his position, I am afraid you will be even more blatant than Zhang Cang."

Feng Jing twitched his lips. "How could I be like him? Zhang Cang is just a reckless man."

After Chen Ping finished his mission, he waited a long time before going in to see Fusu.

"Your Highness, the salaries for this Moon Palace have all been distributed."

"Yes. You do the job. I'm at ease."

Since Chen Ping came to the palace, he quickly replaced Liu Ji.

Liu Ji quickly gained the respect of the palace soldiers and eunuchs by virtue of his loyalty.

But Chen Ping also has his own way - insisting on fairness.

He did not play with interpersonal relationships like Liu Ji did, but was very careful to distribute the share that everyone in the palace deserved to them. Chen Ping did not talk about brotherhood, but only about fairness.

This kind of person is suitable to stay in the palace.

After Chen Ping finished his report, he looked at Fusu. Although the prince was very young, his thoughts were hard to fathom.

Chen Ping followed Fusu for three years and gradually figured out some things.

The prince likes to pursue different things. In his eyes, worldly wealth, fame, and status are not enough.

Therefore, implementing new policies and creating a brand new system are what the prince will do next.

Chen Ping thought he had studied Fusu thoroughly.

"Now, people inside and outside the palace are talking about you, Prince. They say a lot of bad things."

"What do you think I should do at this time?" Fusu did not ask Shao Ping about this matter, but asked Chen Ping directly.

This was the first time Fusu asked Chen Ping for advice.

Chen Ping had always been troubled by the fact that his talents had not been fully displayed, so when Fusu asked him about it, he naturally became excited and uneasy.

But he didn't reply for a long time.

Fusu had no choice but to dismiss everyone, leaving only him and Chen Ping. As soon as the door was closed, the hall suddenly became much darker.

Fusu lit the candlestick himself.

Chen Ping followed Fusu and said, "Prince, you can't just deal with this matter vaguely."

"Those young Qin officials had a very simple purpose. They just hoped that the crown prince could persuade the First Emperor to re-enact the Qin Law."

"But the Qin Law was set by the current Prime Minister Li Si, and was also participated in by the emperor's favorite minister Zhao Gao."

"Everyone is speaking the same language. On the surface, they are trying to promote the crown prince. In fact, they are all looking for the right time to strike down these two people. This is just one of the reasons."

"Secondly, I noticed that many irrelevant people were involved in this incident. For example, the various schools of thought. As professors of the Qin State, they were not content with editing books and teaching, but were extremely active in such matters."

"If they really care about the prince, they will keep their mouths shut. But the fact is the opposite. Chen Ping dare not say the rest."

Fusu looked at Chen Ping and asked, "Why not?"

"They are only doing this for their own selfish desires. They want to use this incident to put pressure on the prince and force him to make certain choices."

Fusu smiled.

"Smart. Do you think His Majesty the Emperor can understand this?"

Chen Ping did not speak. This question is hard to answer. The First Emperor was sometimes shrewd and sometimes schizophrenic.

No one knows whether he is confused or stupid.

"I will be accompanying His Majesty the Emperor on his eastern tour soon. Do you know what this means when something like this suddenly happens at this time?"

"This may sound terrible, but it is far less serious than the actual problem. I heard that when a person is suspected of having two hearts, he had better be able to protect himself."

Chen Ping asked Fusu a question in return, "Now the whole world is placing their hopes on you. Don't you plan to do something, Crown Prince?"

Everyone hoped that Fusu would go up and persuade Ying Zheng in person, but what they didn't know was that what Fusu wanted to do was more difficult than persuading Ying Zheng.

Seeing the reactions of these people, Fusu realized that these people not only did not have the heart, but also did not have the ability to accomplish that great task. He could not find helpers from the group of people in the Imperial Academy.

"Since everyone says so, it would be embarrassing if I don't go and persuade His Majesty the Emperor."

The next day, Fusu went to pay a visit to Ying Zheng.

Although Chen Ping looked at Fusu's expression, he was not very willing.

But when everyone in the Imperial Academy heard the news, they were overjoyed.

They were actively waiting for Fusu to return with good news.

Because Fusu's seat had fully demonstrated their status. They persuaded the prince to advise Qin Shihuang, which was a "great achievement!" and a great reputation.

When he arrived at Zhangtai Palace, Fusu was not received immediately.

This is very interesting. Fusu stood on tiptoe at the entrance of the palace, leisurely walking and stopping, waiting.

He is the man whose status in the empire is second only to Ying Zheng.

It is not reasonable for Ying Zheng to treat him like this.

Over the years, Ying Zheng regarded the trust of his subjects and the admiration of his soldiers as his crazy capital and the confidence to show off, and he squandered them recklessly.

Now people no longer believe him so much.

Those Qin officials had no way of writing letters and delivering them directly to the palace, so they first entrusted them to their fellow students in the school and asked them to pass them on.

In order to use his connections, he made the matter a big deal.

Fusu sat at the palace gate and waited patiently.

In fact, when people in the Imperial Academy started to "encourage" Fusu to do something.

However, Ying Zheng was actively preparing how to further expand his territory.

Inside the Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng looked at the land south of Bashu and laughed strangely.

"It won't be long before the land south of Bashu will belong to me!"

"Your Majesty, the prince has been waiting outside the palace for a long time." Xin reminded.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng came to his senses.

"Tell him that there's no need to meet him. I know everything."

That afternoon, the Qin State's Xianyang city was in an uproar. The crown prince advised the first emperor, this must be a big news, people rushed to tell each other in the streets and alleys.

And Ying Zheng’s answer is also intriguing.

Fusu returned to Hengyang Palace with a smile.

This means that Fusu’s plan to accompany Ying Zheng on his eastern tour will not be cancelled.

What made Fusu happier than this was that Ying Zheng had no doubts about him at all.

This is the real opportunity!
On the way back, Fusu couldn't help but smile, and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried.
-
A certain northeastern border area of ​​China - the former heartland of the State of Yan, now within the Yuyang County of the Qin Dynasty.

A general who was once brave and skilled in fighting, he lived a life of debauchery in Yuyang County.

This young general, who was appointed as Marquis of Che at the age of less than 35, had his daily records written as follows:

On the first day of the new year, drink.

Second day of the Chinese New Year, drinking.

On the third day of the first lunar month, I drank with the county magistrate and the county magistrate.

……

15. Dance with the beauties.

……

……

……

As the saying goes, excessive joy brings sorrow. Li Xin soon couldn't stand this kind of life anymore.

After a hearty banquet, Li Xin got up in a daze.

He looked at the red sun in the sky, which looked like a round red egg.

He asked the beauties around him, "That's strange! Why does the sun rise from the west?"

When the beauties heard this, they all burst into laughter.

"My Lord, the sun has set. It is already the evening hour."

After hearing this, Li Xin was stunned. He looked around and saw half-naked women everywhere.

He peeked at the person in the bronze mirror. He had changed from a man with eyes as sharp as lightning and as brave and courageous as a jackal on the grassland to a fat old leopard...

His eyes were sunken and his face was as red as a monkey's butt.

It looks extremely ugly.

"Alas! I have been harmed by wine and women! I have become so haggard."

"From today on! Stop drinking!"

As he spoke, Li Xin threw the wine cup heavily to the ground.

Li Xin has just quit drinking and plans to do something human instead of wasting his time.

On the other side, a secret silk book was sent from Xianyang Palace.

Li Xin became the accompanying person appointed by Ying Zheng for his third eastern tour.

Ying Zheng asked him to get ready and board the boat to Shanghai with him.
