My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 652 Do you want to rebel?
Xianyang City, in the Lin family courtyard.

On this vast land inherited from the great-grandfather's generation, a large house with five courtyards is now being renovated.

However, this family's home does not have much of a luxurious atmosphere, but is rather simple and elegant. From the door to the room, from the corridor to the yard, there is no particularly luxurious or expensive decoration. What is surprising is that there are several large rooms of books in the house.

It's just that in the winter when everything is withered and covered with ice and snow, the former owners of these books have now become the same as them, becoming people that the living can never talk to.

The letter has been sealed in the coffin.

Fusu didn't even get to see him for the last time.

Shin's wife Ya had red eyes. After not seeing her for a few days, she had turned from a beautiful young woman into an old abandoned woman, with many white hairs growing on her head.

As for his eldest son, who had just turned sixteen, he did not cry either. He just stood stubbornly at the door to greet the guests. He did not look sad at all, as if he had long expected that his father would have such a day.

His face showed anger and revenge, not sadness.

For this relatively large family of more than 30 people, once Xin leaves, Lin Zhen, who has just turned 16, will have to shoulder the burden of the family and take on the responsibility of being the head of the household.

There was no crying or shouting in the whole yard, and everyone's face was pale.

Everyone was speechless.

Several elderly elders from the same clan were discussing the next funeral ceremony in the backyard.

From time to time, they whispered to each other, "The Minister of the Chancellery died inexplicably, and the Crown Prince came to offer condolences in person. What happened?"

"I think the cause of death in this letter is very strange."

That is to say, in such an era where everyone has ulterior motives and is selfish, a loyal and righteous man like Xin actually died in such an unclear way.

Everyone in the palace felt sorry for Lin Xin, not to mention how the elders of the same clan had to watch Xin grow from a child to an adult, slowly become a father, the head of the family, a close minister to the emperor, and finally become the target of murder.

This loyal minister, who had served both father and son, was able to come and go with ease because the relationship between the two was deep and strong.

However, when he died, it seemed to be the beginning of the breakdown of the relationship between father and son.

Many times, everyone thinks they can keep things from going out of their control, but the result is beyond the expectations of both parties.

Fusu stood in front of Xin's coffin, his face gloomy and black as iron. If the weight fell accidentally, it would break someone's foot.

Chen Ping looked at Lin Xin's coffin, his heart was not much ups and downs. He was already dead, now it was time to consider the people who survived.

Fusu came in person to offer condolences and asked all the neighbors around Xin to gather outside the courtyard wall near the Lin family's house.

But they were surrounded by the Tiger Guards and did not dare to do anything crazy.

After Fusu paid his respects and condolences in the Lin family's yard, he was urged to leave quickly.

He has always been very cautious, but today he doesn't intend to follow the rules.

Fusu didn't understand why good people were always hurt in this world, while bad people and fools were always able to survive for a long time.

Fusu wondered in his mind when he last spoke to Xin. It seemed that he had just returned and had met him once in Zhangtai Palace.

He saw himself coming back and smiled happily.

But they were no longer able to communicate with each other through words.

Fusu refused to leave, and everyone else was in a difficult situation.

Xin's wife Ya could no longer bear it. She knelt at the door and recalled, "In the months after the accident, he was not right. He always said that if you have a sword, you will kill. It makes sense."

"With a sharp sword in hand, the desire to kill is bound to arise."

"What crime did he commit to deserve such an unclear death?"

The Lin family was dressed in white, and everyone in the house was crying and making a fuss. The atmosphere was depressing and sad.

Seeing Fusu's endless condolences, Chen Ping said to Fusu, "Prince, I have something to ask you. I am afraid I have to interrupt you."

Fusu said nothing.

The main thing is that everything that happened this year happened too suddenly.

Having a beard on the body brings a strange joy to people.

But once a beard grows on the soul, a person can never go back to being a teenager.

Chen Ping whispered, "Prince, no matter who this incident was directed at, Xin is dead now. But what I am worried about is that the dancer Youzhan also made the remonstrance with Xin. Now that Xin is dead, can Youzhan still survive?"

"Is it too late to rescue him now?"

Chen Ping is Chen Ping after all. "When I heard the news, I had already thought about Zhangtai, worried that something else might happen that would be detrimental to the crown prince. So I sent a few people to keep an eye on Youzhan. If there is any problem, report it directly to Shao Ping."

"You did the right thing." Fusu nodded. "Make sure to protect Youzhan."

Fusu looked at Xin's coffin and thought carefully that it was a miracle that a person with his personality could live in this palace for so long. But thinking carefully, it was a tragedy of the times that a person with his personality could only live so long.

Fusu suddenly woke up.

In order to maintain his supreme position, Ying Zheng had long put the cart before the horse.

He had no trust in loyal ministers and righteous men, but he repeatedly defended Zhao Gao and indulged Zhao Gao without any bottom line, which led to Zhao Gao killing Lin Xin.

Fusu could no longer tolerate these things.

Fusu, who had figured it out, ordered Xiahou Ying to drive towards Zhangtai Palace.

Guan Fu and the former ministers and generals of Hengyang Palace also followed angrily. They wanted to kill Zhao Gao and avenge Lin Xin.

At this point, everyone knew who killed Lin Xin without having to think about it.

So, Guan Fu and Fusu rushed towards Zhangtai Palace.

Xiahou Ying just drove as ordered.

Although he had a bad feeling, what could he do?

Feng Jing naturally wanted to stop him, "Prince, Zhao Gao is under the protection of the Emperor. It will be useless for you to go."

Fusu's face darkened, he held the sword in his hand and asked, "Do you want to test whether the sword in my hand is sharp?"

Feng Jing was so frightened that he stood straight where he was.

He had a bad feeling and subconsciously wanted to find the queen, but the queen was gone. So he could only look for that person.

Feng Jing and Chen Ping looked at each other, and both of them watched Fusu run away angrily.

It has to be said that his courage to stand up for his former subordinates made everyone feel inexplicably secure following Fusu.

Being sentimental has both advantages and disadvantages in political struggles.

Oftentimes, being sentimental can be a huge advantage in gaining the trust of others, but at the same time, being too sentimental can also make it easy for others to lead you by the nose.

Such as now.

Fusu could tolerate any of his men suffering losses in the political struggle, but he could not accept that the person who was killed was Lin Xin.

It is impossible that Xin was unaware of his situation and status, but in order to protect his interests, he still insisted on taking action.

He is protecting his own interests with his life.

Sima Wuyi was a man of both civil and military talents. Seeing the prince rushing to settle accounts with Zhao Gao, he guessed that something big might happen today.

Chen Ping, Feng Jing and Sima Wuyi all looked up at the sky at the same time.

"It's all Zhang Cang's fault." The three said in unison.

Then the three of them each used their own tricks to rescue their confused prince.
-
Soon, someone holding a sword led Guan Fu to the gate of Zhangtai Palace.

Fusu came walking on the snow, holding a sword and wearing a thin coat.

His eyes were determined, as if he wanted to eat someone alive.

There were guards on both sides of the wide palace road. When the soldiers saw this situation, they were so frightened that they began to tremble.

They were afraid that Fusu would kill someone and the blood would splatter on them, implicating them.

So as soon as Fusu entered the palace, someone reported the news to Ying Zheng.

The guard of Zhangtai Palace was Wang Weiwei. When he learned that Xin had been murdered, he guessed that the prince would come.

But I didn't expect that the prince came here with a sword.

Behind him, besides Guan Fu, there were a total of twenty warriors, and a tall man in a black robe jogging behind him.

"Prince, what are you doing?"

"Where is Zhao Gao?" Fusu was too lazy to talk nonsense.

If he fails to kill Zhao Gao today, he would be unworthy of his title.

"Zhao...Zhao Changshi has just been appointed as the Grand Coachman. From today on, she can enter and leave the palace without any restrictions. Not only that, she can also attend court meetings." Wang Weiwei kindly reminded Fusu, "Prince, you have also read the Book of Changes. This is a time when villains are rampant. Gentlemen should not act recklessly."

"Your Majesty is the supreme ruler. The Crown Prince is a minister, and should be the Yin of Nine Four. The closest person to him is the Emperor. If Your Majesty seeks Zhao Gao to do something, it would be an offense to the Emperor."

Fusu frowned, "When I first arrived, I was also the one who killed Yan Dan! Later, I listened to you people talking about the Four Books and Five Classics every day, and I was restrained, so I kept this scourge until today."

"I must kill Zhao Gao today."

Wang Weiwei placed his body across Fusu's front.

"If the prince wants to go in, please step over my dead body."

"Do you think I don't dare?" Fusu asked loudly. "If the person who died was a good friend who risked his life to help you, would you still be as indifferent as you are now?"

Fusu and Wang Weiwei confronted each other in front of the palace gate.

At this time, the guards had already sent the news to Zhangtai Palace.

Zhao Gao was so happy when he was just crowned that he wore a new crown and a jackal crown and walked around in front of Ying Zheng, twisting his buttocks.

He looked so happy, like a monkey in heat.

"Your Majesty, you are truly my Zhao Gao's reborn parent."

"Your Majesty, now that I am in the court, if anyone dares to speak out to stop Your Majesty from attacking Nanyue and connecting with the Great Wall, I will unite with Yao Jia and severely criticize them."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and said, "You have always been the one who understands my heart the best."

Just then, the eunuch broke in.

"Your Majesty, there are some Tiger Guards outside. They say that the Crown Prince has come to Zhangtai Palace with a sword in hand. He wants to find Zhao Taifu."

When Zhao Gao heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately jumped into the air and then hid behind Ying Zheng's throne.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save me."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save me, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Gao even cried.

He expected the prince to kill him, but he didn't expect it to be so direct. And this was what he was most worried about.

why?
Because Fusu was a man of his status, as long as he really killed Zhao Gao, then Ying Zheng would just lose his political bargaining chips, and he would not do anything to Fusu for the sake of the dead Zhao Gao.

Therefore, what Zhao Gao feared most was that Fusu would use the most direct method and kill him directly.

No one would think that Zhao Gao happened to be with Ying Zheng day and night during the time when Fusu died and when he was sending and receiving letters of condolences.

This is impossible.

They are all old villains in the palace. How could they not know that every tick of the water clock will be a matter of life and death for them?

Zhao Gao hid behind Ying Zheng like a rat.

Ying Zheng naturally got angry when he heard this.

"He's holding a sword?" Ying Zheng couldn't believe it.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Crown Prince is here with a sword in hand, and is now confronting the Royal Guard at the palace gate."

Ying Zheng sat in the seat of honor and first calmly drank a sip of ginseng tea. Then Zhao Gao knelt tremblingly in front of him with a pitiful look in his eyes.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and clenched his hands into fists.

"Let him in!"

The eunuch was startled, "Your Majesty, the prince is carrying a sword..."

"I know. Let him come in with his sword."

The eunuch was so frightened that he stood there for a long time without moving.

"The prince is surrounded by tiger guards?"

"Are you stupid? You still need to ask me that!"

Zhao Gao saw that this matter had become a big deal. He was in trouble. No matter what, the crown prince would succeed to the throne, and he would be killed without a complete body. Zhao Gao could only look at Ying Zheng helplessly again.

Ying Zheng scolded.

"What are you standing there for? Go!"

The eunuch was in a hurry to leave, but he slipped three times on the smooth, mirror-like floor tiles, almost breaking his waist and falling on his back.

The slaves and eunuchs in the palace dared not make a sound, while some of them had already begun to look around, preparing to find a place to hide.

Ying Zheng stood up suddenly, "Zhao Gao, bring me my Tai'a sword."

"Tai'a Sword..." In a hurry, Zhao Gao ran to the side hall to get the sword, and then presented it to him respectfully.

It was a coincidence that just as Zhao Gao brought the sword over, Fusu walked in with the sword in his hand.

What surprised him was...

Ying Zheng was sitting on the throne with a long Tai'a sword on his waist.

He was wearing a crown and a tassel.

It's obvious that it's inconvenient to move.

But his majestic aura, coupled with his anger, had already made his eyebrows raised, making it impossible for people to even look at him.

Beside him was Zhao Gao, who was standing with his back bowed.

When Zhao Gao saw Fusu, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, "Prince, spare me! Prince, spare me!"

Zhao Gao fell to the ground and cried loudly. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the prince wants to kill me."

When Fusu saw this immortal old man, he wanted to chop him into eight pieces.

He appears pitiful and honest in front of others, but becomes lawless, arrogant and domineering behind others' backs.

Fusu took two steps forward.

Ying Zheng shouted loudly.

"stop!"

"Do you want to rebel?"

Fusu bowed. At this moment, his mind was extremely firm, so his eyes were clear and calm, and his eyebrows were like those of a stubborn and strong-willed queen.

"I have come here today to get rid of the treacherous officials and to clear the emperor's court. I want to restore my father's innocence and to avenge the innocent Xin who died."

Ying Zheng looked at him and couldn't help but be moved by the scene.

But Ying Zheng urgently needed Zhao Gao. How could he let Fusu kill him? Besides, if Zhao Gao was killed, Lin Xin would have been killed in vain.

"You shouldn't have come." Ying Zheng said in a low voice. "If you want to avenge Lin Xin, you should come to me. I personally ordered him to be killed."

In just a moment, Fusu himself became completely hopeless.

"It's Father..."

"Yes, it is me." Ying Zheng said slowly, "Put down your sword. I will spare you this time today. I will let you live in your Hengyang Palace and be your crown prince. In the future, you will inherit my kingdom."

Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng with horror, then lowered his head aggrievedly, "I knew it, I knew it. Your Majesty always thinks your son is the most important."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became stagnant.

Outside the palace, Chen Ping invited Meng Wu; Feng Jing invited Prime Minister Feng Quji.

Four people were rushing towards the palace from outside the palace.

But Fusu had been tolerating Ying Zheng for more than three to five years.

Fusu took a look at Ying Zheng's sword and Zhao Gao's position. After a quick and calm analysis, Fusu asked:
"What if I don't?"

Ying Zheng was so angry that his chest seemed to explode.

"Then I will destroy you!"

Ying Zheng's narrow eyes pierced over.

Fusu gripped the sword tightly and stared at Zhao Gao at Ying Zheng's feet.

[Well, there is no more for today. See you tomorrow! ]
