My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 641 Good!
In Fusu's plan, there was no task for Ying Zheng to make remonstrances.

But right now, everyone is urging him to do it.

Fusu had to change his mind.

Because the people's hearts are attached to him, if he does not persuade Ying Zheng at this time, it will disappoint the people. And from the perspective of interests, openly persuading Ying Zheng represents the will of the people, which is a major event for the people.

But the disadvantages are also obvious.

This is bound to anger Ying Zheng.

In history, Prince Fusu once advised Qin Shi Huang, but the price he paid was exile to Shangjun, where he supervised an army of 200,000 elite soldiers together with General Meng Tian.

Fusu was worried about himself.

Unexpectedly, history would repeat itself in the end.

But while sitting at the table, Fusu still solemnly agreed to this matter.

Ji Bu was finally satisfied. "Since I was a child, I have heard that the prince is highly valued by the emperor and has been cultivated by him in every way. It can be said that without the emperor, there would be no prince today."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince should advise His Majesty the Emperor."

Ji Bu felt that his father did something wrong, and the son could not just ignore it. As a son, it is his duty to advise his father.

Even because Ying Zheng was Fusu's father, Ji Bu once resisted the urge to scold Ying Zheng.

As Ji Bu said this, everyone nodded.

The main reason is that he did not advise Ying Zheng, which is inconsistent with the image Fusu has always presented to the public.

Everyone said, "If the crown prince goes to advise His Majesty, it will definitely attract His Majesty's attention."

Only Chen Ping looked at Fusu worriedly.

Based on Chen Ping's observation of Ying Zheng over the past three years, the First Emperor Ying Zheng was fond of ostentation and the Crown Prince's open admonition would certainly make the First Emperor feel humiliated.

Xiong Qi, the Prince's tutor, was originally living a leisurely life in his mansion. He wanted to conserve his energy and take good care of his body so that he could govern the country in the future.

After hearing what the two iron officials saw and heard about what Fusu did, said and thought, he couldn't help but stroke his beard.

"Just say don't give yourself such a high reputation. How can you easily get down from a tiger when you are standing on it?"

Afterwards, Xiong Qi still found Fusu, and they discussed many things in private.

Xiong Qi had a lot of ideas about the mine smelting. He wanted to build some military equipment so that he could use it when he had the chance. Fusu did not object.

Then there is the matter of currency. "Your father is not good at economic and livelihood affairs. He lost the two prime ministers Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang, and now he is at his wit's end. He has no money, so he ordered me to mint these coins and then circulate them in the market for military supplies. This is drinking poison to quench thirst."

"You have to pay attention to this point."

Fusu was puzzled. "My uncle has never been good at managing these economic and commercial matters. It's rare that my uncle has so many opinions on these matters."

Xiong Qi seemed to be deliberately provoking the relationship between Fusu and Ying Zheng, taking advantage of Fusu's concern for the people's livelihood, hoping that he could do something as soon as possible.

But Fusu was indifferent to this. He refused to talk about this topic, saying, "I don't understand economics. These matters should be left to the capable people in the court."

"I clearly heard that the prince recommended Zhang Cang and Cao Shen to handle economic affairs for His Majesty. These two people quickly filled the gap for His Majesty. The prince must seize the opportunity."

"But I can't just take advantage of every opportunity."

Xiong Qi deliberately reminded Fusu that his mother was no longer with us and he could no longer face Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng as he did in the past.

Xiong Qi told Fusu that the only people he could rely on now were the Qin nobles of the old Chu faction.

In the large, dark room, Fusu showed deep sadness. "Everything depends on my uncle."

After seeing off Xiong Qi, Fusu sat alone.

Back to the matter of persuasion, this is what everyone in the Qin Dynasty is looking forward to.

Liu Ji also saw the problem. But he had a prediction. According to the prince's character, if he went to persuade the emperor, it meant that he did not intend to maintain a harmonious relationship with the emperor. If he did not persuade the emperor, it meant that the prince still wanted to be the prince.

When Fusu was leaving Xinzheng, everyone surrounded the carriage and horses to see him off.

Liu Ji stopped in front of the carriage and said to Fusu, "I have always been lazy, but I have always been valued by the prince. It's just that I am an official in Yangcheng, working diligently every day. I have never had the opportunity to repay the prince's kindness."

"If the Crown Prince needs help in the future, feel free to dispatch him. Liu Ji is willing to die in return."

There was a clamor of carriages and horses and a lot of voices in the procession.

In such a noisy and chaotic scene, Liu Ji stopped the carriage to express his loyalty to Fusu, which seemed a bit inconvenient to others.

Do you know that among so many people here, who doesn’t want to serve the prince?

However, when Fusu saw Liu Ji's behavior, he asked in public, "Where do you want to be transferred next?" Liu Ji originally just wanted to express that he hoped Fusu would call him on if he did something big in the future. After all, he could help Fusu fight against Ying Zheng in the future.

However, many people could not figure out Fusu’s intentions.

So when Fusu directly went against the routine and asked Liu Ji what he wanted, Liu Ji was confused.

"My Lord, please agree to one condition of mine."

"Okay. Then you will do a hundred things for me."

When Liu Ji heard Fusu's agreement, he was so excited that he was about to nod, but his last sentence made everyone present laugh and cry.

"One hundred pieces? Your Highness..."

"what happened?"

Liu Ji thought, isn't this a trap for me?

Everyone was laughing so hard that they were bent over.

But facing Fusu, he still said seriously, "One hundred pieces is one hundred pieces."

Afterwards, a prince who did not play by the rules officially set off.

But from that day on, no one in Qin came to make such a request to Fusu.

Because they just discovered that their prince is such a deceitful person!
The team returned to Xianyang and set off.

The carriage was shaking; it was already the transition period between late autumn and early winter.

The road was covered with white frost and fallen yellow leaves, layer upon layer, very thick.

When the carriage passed by, it would sometimes encounter a thick layer of frost and almost slip. However, the Qin people were very smart. They put many rivets under the carriage, making the wheels bumpy, so the carriage did slip, but not to that extent.

Fusu also met a group of people who were building a highway on the road.

Anyway, the Qin State has been building roads all the time, and passers-by walk on the road every day.

On the way, Chen Ping asked Fusu privately.

"Does the Crown Prince intend to publicly advise the Emperor? Wouldn't it be too disgraceful to the Emperor?"

Fusu couldn't help but think of the past when he heard the familiar questions.

His mother is no longer in this world, and no one will say good things about him to his father in the future.

"What do you think?"

"The status and position of the crown prince are extremely high in the Qin State. I think the crown prince's admonition to the emperor is of great importance and will probably shock the world. The crown prince will not only fail to achieve the effect of admonishing, but will also bring trouble to himself."

Fusu patted Chen Ping on the shoulder and said, "If everyone around me could have half of your wisdom, I wouldn't have to give this advice."

Yes, the situation has changed now.

Most people were too timid to confront Ying Zheng, but Fusu was the one that everyone expected. So this big task naturally fell on Fusu. He had to do it.

"If you ask me, I am now in a dilemma. If I make a suggestion, I will fail. If I don't make a suggestion, the people of the world will be disappointed. What do you think I should do?"

Chen Ping looked at Fusu, "This will allow the Crown Prince to do what he does best."

"The prince is a man of great literary talent. Why don't you write an article in private and quietly hand it to His Majesty the Emperor?"

Liberal arts students have a natural advantage in politics. Because they have a natural advantage in poetry and songs, it is convenient for them to be "weird"; as for professional knowledge in literature and history, it is even more impossible for people from science and engineering to have it. With the latter alone, Fusu can surpass the sage Zhang Liang in wisdom.

Chen Ping continued, "But there is a way to submit an article. I have a plan that will allow the prince to not only make a petition to the emperor and satisfy the wishes of the people, but also to escape unscathed."

Fusu looked at Chen Ping deeply and asked him a question.

"Do you think it is necessary for me to maintain a harmonious relationship with my father now?"

When Chen Ping heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.

"No matter what, offending the Emperor is not a good thing." Chen Ping felt that it would be better to act carefully and secretly.

"Actually, I've thought about it carefully. So what if I angered my father? What can he do to me?"

When Chen Ping heard this, he was filled with respect for Fusu.

Fusu raised his head. In the cold air of late autumn, he climbed up the hillside, his black cloak fluttering in the strong wind.

Fusu quietly looked at the gray mountains and land.
