My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 651 Making a grand appearance
[This chapter is full of internal energy, not a transition. It's just that the chapter name is not very good. Make a debut: a metaphor for someone entering the political stage after some planning or disguise]
Celebrating the success in the palace would be a slap in the face of the First Emperor. Everyone did not want to embarrass Fusu's father, so they proposed.

"Prince, why don't we go hunting in Shanglin Garden? In winter, the grass and trees have withered, and the wild animals in Shanglin Garden are exposed, which is perfect for us to have some fun."

Feng Jing couldn't wait to go to Shanglin Garden. Then he could set up a banquet.

However, the abacus beads all hit Chen Ping's face.

Chen Ping immediately objected, "Your Majesty must be holding back a lot of anger at this time. From what I know about Your Majesty, it is impossible for Your Majesty to let Zhang Cang go just like that."

The air in the room suddenly became heavy.

The other party is Qin Shi Huang.

Although Fusu had made contributions, in name he would always be the crown prince and the emperor's son.

So everyone's enthusiasm for celebration was dampened again.

"Speaking of which, how did Shao Shuzi think of asking Zhong Changshi Zhao Gao to read the edict and return immediately? He had already decided to delay the reading of the edict. But why did he behave so obediently when the time came?"

Xiahou Ying couldn't help but boast about Chen Ping and said, "You don't know. I took Zhao Changshi to the execution ground and waited for the emperor's edict to be read out."

"Suddenly a group of people jumped out from nowhere, shouting long live the emperor, and lifted Zhang Cang up high. They said the emperor was wise."

"I was worried that Zhao Gao would say bad things about us when he returned. But the young master did this."

"Even if His Majesty reacts and finds out, His Majesty is not helpless and will not do anything to us."

Everyone looked at Chen Ping in surprise.

"Sure, Chen Ping!" Feng Jing put his hand on Chen Ping's shoulder with jealousy, "My father always said that it's not that you don't flatter in the court, but you have to choose the right time, the right place, and let the right person flatter."

"You have grasped the essence. I'm afraid you will become a high-ranking official in the future. For example, how about becoming a prime minister? In the future, Xiao He will be the right prime minister, and you will be the left prime minister."

Feng Jing said this with a sour tone, while trying to show his magnanimity and ambition, "We will all learn from you in the future."

Chen Ping was too lazy to pay attention to the jealous Feng Jing. He just lowered his head and tried to change the subject.

Chen Ping dodged and faced Fusu.

Feng Jing dropped his hand from Chen Ping's shoulder. He was disappointed.

"In fact, this time it was all the credit of Shang Shu Ling and Youzhan. If they hadn't spoken to your majesty, Zhang Cang would not have been pardoned. Without your majesty's personal decree, no matter how many tricks I used, I would still fail."

"Prince, we should find a way to repay Shang Shu Ling and Youzhan."

Fusu nodded.

Guan Fu was excited and stamped his feet.

"I'll go, I'll go. I know that although Xin is gone, his heart still belongs to our Hengyang Palace."

Guan Fu's face was full of excitement.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Fusu said, "The Shangshu Ling is your Majesty's internal official, in charge of the memorials and imperial edicts of the whole country. Although he does not attend court, his status is often equivalent to that of the prime minister. He is in charge of confidential documents and can be said to be your Majesty's trusted and important official."

"If I go to thank Shang Shu Ling openly and ostentatiously in the name of Hengyang Palace, I will be harming him. How can one person serve two people at the same time? This will put Shang Shu Ling in an unjust position."

"What's more, your majesty is surrounded by treacherous villains such as Zhao Gao and Tu Guo."

Guan Fu listened carefully and found that the prince no longer called the Shangshu Ling "Xin".

"If you really want to repay me, everyone in Hengyang Palace should keep silent. This is the best way to protect Shang Shu Ling."

"Of course, if Shang Shu Ling is in trouble in the future, everyone in Hengyang Palace will go all out to help him."

After saying this, Fusu always felt that something was strange.

Why did Ying Zheng let Zhao Gao issue the decree this time? Logically, it should be Lin Xin or Shang Shu Ling who should do this.

An ominous premonition flashed through Fusu's mind.

Just hearing these words, everyone admired Fusu for his clear mind.

"The prince is right. We can't harm the Shangshu Ling in an unjust way just to repay a favor." Shao Ping had also met Lin Xin many times.

He is truly a loyal, proud and upright man.

This Xianyang Palace is filled with all kinds of people from all over the world, and is filled with people of all kinds of talents.

But people as pure as Shin are as rare as the moon.

There was only this one letter in the Xianyang Palace.

"Your Highness has a good idea. Chen Ping is dull and neglected this."

Guan Fu just felt his head crackling and getting hot again.

What to do, what they say makes sense.

What should I say?
"As for Youzhan, find an opportunity to arrange for him to meet his family. I heard that those who enter the palace to sing and dance will miss their family the most in their lives."

"The prince is wise."

Several people congratulated Fusu.

Soon, Liu Chang suddenly came to report.

"Prince, Wucheng Marquis Wang Li sent someone to give you a gift. He said he was congratulating Zhang Cang on his release from prison soon."

"Ah?" Fusu was shocked. "He's crazy?"

Liu Chang was also very depressed. He had never seen such a brainless person.

"Prince, someone has already sent someone to carry the gifts to the palace gate. There are two large carts full of them, very ostentatious."

Fusu's face froze.

He looked at Chen Ping, and just as Chen Ping said, this was a struggle for political power.

If that were the case, Wang Li also saw a signal from this, so he was anxious to surrender to me.

It was a pity that the agreement between him and Wang Ben was completely cancelled by the gifts given by Wang Li, that bastard. What was the point of him and Wang Ben conspiring together?

This idiot.

Fusu held his forehead.

Everyone looked at the prince feeling embarrassed, but they didn't have any good solution.

Feng Jing said, "It's better to go back."

Shao Ping said, "Go back. Given the character of our Wucheng Marquis, he will definitely think that the prince dislikes him. I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future."

"Speaking of which, the Marquis Wucheng who inherited the title and the Marquis Wucheng who won the title are simply as different as heaven and earth," Feng Jing couldn't help but say.

Once, Feng Jing was shopping in Xianyang City. As a person of his status guarding the prince, he naturally had to keep a low profile.

But Wang Li started yelling as soon as he saw him. He refused to listen even when he tried to explain the reason to him.

He also told him to his face that he was inflexible, saying that this was Xianyang City and there were no thieves who could rob it. Not long after he finished speaking, the emperor was robbed near the Lanchi Palace.

Not only that, Wang Li was secretly mocking him in his words, saying that he was arrogant and looked down on him because his father was Feng Wuzhe, Marquis of Lunxin.

Wang Li also attacked Feng Jing personally, saying that he was a bastard of the family, a hostage of Feng, and would be a eunuch for the rest of his life.

The title of Marquis Lunxin has nothing to do with him.

Feng Jing was naturally angry and wished he would never have anything to do with him again.

Because Wang Li’s words were really mean!

In fact, Wang Li was very panicked. He always felt that his Wang family had fallen out of favor. Their status in Xianyang City was not as good as that of the Feng family or the Li family.

Not to mention a military family that is at the peak of its power - the Meng family.

Their Wang family seemed to have declined, just like the Sima family which was once very famous in the Qin State.

Wang Li knew Sima Wuyi and was always worried that his son would end up like Sima Wuyi in the future.

Wang Li's worries may be gradually becoming a reality. However, the more anxious he is, the more mistakes he makes.

For example, the matter of openly sending gifts to Fusu.

Everyone was at a loss.

Fusu looked at Chen Ping, "You seem to have something to say?" Feng Jing subconsciously thought that Chen Ping had another idea. So he said, "The young master must have another idea."

Feng Jing wanted to put his hand on Chen Ping's shoulder again, but Chen Ping turned around again and avoided him.

Feng Jing's hands hung awkwardly in the air.

"Your Highness, I have no reason to reject Marquis Wucheng's gift. I am just worried about something more serious."

Feng Jing added, "Then he must have accepted the gift from Marquis Wucheng, which alarmed His Majesty. His Majesty will definitely embarrass the prince, right? His Majesty always does this kind of thing. It makes it difficult for the prince."

Everyone stared at Feng Jing with wide eyes.

Fusu also looked at Feng Jing.

Feng Jing looked at Chen Ping, "Did I say something wrong?"

Chen Ping ignored Feng Jing and said, "Prince, I am afraid that if Marquis Wucheng does this, there will be a flood of people sending gifts to Hengyang Palace."

Shao Ping stroked his beard and said, "That's absolutely right!"

"Prince, you have to find a place to go away to avoid these things. When you are not here, they will not be able to send gifts. This way His Majesty can understand you." Xiahou Ying also came up with an idea.

Chen Ping said, "But the prince has no suitable reason to leave Xianyang at this time."

Feng Jing stood there blankly. He suddenly felt out of place in the prince's new circle.

At this time, Guan Fu bumped into Feng Jing hard.

Almost knocking Feng Jing to the ground, "What are you doing?"

"Don't you like to put your arm around other people's shoulders? Come and put your arm around my shoulder." Guan Fu smiled innocently.

Feng Jing's face suddenly turned red and his neck became thick.

"you really are!"

"What's wrong with me?" Guan Fu touched the back of his head.

Everyone laughed.

Feng Jing just felt that everyone was laughing at his incompetence, while Guan Fu felt that everyone was laughing at him for not being smart enough.

"Okay. Feng Jing, will you go and accept Wang Li's gift in person?"

"I?"

"Then I'll go." Fusu was very considerate of Feng Jing, because Feng Wanwan often told him that Feng Jing was one of their own. He couldn't be ignored.
But when given the chance, he acted extremely reluctant.

"only."

Feng Jing tilted his head and followed Liu Chang out with a swaying step.

Soon, Wang Ben's subordinates went back to report.

"The prince has accepted it!" Wang Li excitedly pushed away the two beauties beside him.

"We asked the halberd bearer Feng Jing to come and receive the gift in person. He even said thank you very much."

"Thank you? Just thank you?" Wang Li began to rack his brains again, "Feng Jing has always had a grudge against me. This spring, I just said a few words to him, and he actually wanted to hit me."

"I personally delivered the gift, so the prince must have a lot to say. Feng Jing must have deliberately said less. He deliberately ignored me and sent me away with just the two words 'thank you'!"

Wang Li was very upset.

Although the subordinate was not surprised to see Wang Li like this, he still said, "But the other party is Lord Hengyang. Can you go to Lord Hengyang to ask for clarification?"

Wang Li was shocked, "What does Lord Hengyang mean to me? He is a duke, and so am I. Without our support, how can his position as the crown prince be secure?"

As he was speaking, a voice came from outside the door.

"Who is it? How dare you disrespect our Crown Prince Hengyang? If such outrageous words are spread out and offend the Crown Prince, you will be punished."

A middle-aged man suddenly broke in. He was wearing a purple robe and a pink jade pendant around his waist.

When Wang Li saw the person coming, he was neither surprised nor afraid.

"We are all family here. It doesn't matter."

When Wang Li saw the visitor, he respectfully invited him to take a seat, and then dismissed his concubines and servants.

"You taught me how to give a gift, and I have already given it. But the prince actually sent someone to tell me only two words. Thank you. This is too perfunctory."

Chang Wenjun said impatiently, "He is the crown prince, the future emperor. Even if the crown prince rejects you, you cannot complain."

When Wang Li heard this, he stood up in anger.

"How can this be? He can actually reject me?"

"If this is not the case, why do we insist on implementing the feudal system?"

Wang Li thought about it and said, "Yes."

He sat down slowly again.

"Please tell me, sir, what should we do next?"

"Don't worry. I have spread the news of you giving gifts to the prince all over Xianyang. Soon more people will give gifts to the prince. By then, many people will come to your house on their own initiative."

Wang Li's eyes flashed with surprise, "Come to see me?"

Wang Li’s dream is to be surrounded by people and respected like his grandfather.

"Correct."

"Okay. I'll wait for them."

Chang Wenjun had a few words to tell Wang Li, asking him to keep a low profile to avoid any bad things. But Ying Zheng still had strength left.

But when he saw Wang Li's eyes lighting up, he gave up immediately.

Changwen Jun left Wang Li's mansion and immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Changping Jun as soon as he returned home.

Chang Wenjun looked up at the clear blue sky above Xianyang today.

In the struggle for power, it is always the case that one party finishes singing and the other party comes on stage. As long as there is still breath, everything has a chance.
-
In the next two days, Fusu kept accepting gifts from people.

He had already seen Ying Zheng's weakness, and this was the time when Ying Zheng's power was at its weakest. If he was given a chance to catch his breath at this time, he would probably be stripped of his status as the crown prince.

Fusu had to grit his teeth and harden his heart at this time to reach a silent and invisible political cooperation with some powerful ministers.

The treasury of Hengyang Palace was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, and it was almost full.

Feng Wanwan was very worried. "So much wealth is piled up in the palace. If it can't be used properly, isn't it just like a pile of stones? It's meaningless. I have to think of a way to put these wealth to good use."

"I think the prince will be happy with me doing this."

It was just an ordinary afternoon that day. When Fusu sat down in the cardinal's pavilion and stroked the first products of the Qin crossbow and the telescope, Guan Fu suddenly ran in with red eyes.

When he saw Fusu, he couldn't say anything, as if his throat was being pinched tightly.

"What's wrong? Were you beaten?" Fusu couldn't help but tease.

"Prince...I..." Guan Fu hesitated and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"What happened? Sit down and have some water first." Fusu was in an unusually good mood today.

Ying Zheng had been silent for several days, as if he had completely surrendered.

Fusu was excited about his masterpiece.

He felt that it wouldn't take long for him to seize the throne.

"The letter is gone."

Guan Fu did not come to sit beside Fusu to drink the water that Fusu poured for him, but just said three words in a choked voice.

"What letter is missing?" Fusu thought it was a letter and still didn't take it seriously.

It was not until he saw Guan Fu's mournful look that Fusu's mind started to work quickly. He suddenly connected all the aspects of the incident together.

letter……
