My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 661: Get out of the way! The First Emperor is going to get mad.
The sky is still the same sky, the earth is still the same earth, and the Wei River still flows year after year.

In winter, beneath the thin layer of ice, there is still water flowing at the bottom of the Wei River.

Common people in the suburbs of Xianyang dug through the glacier to fetch water, while others went fishing.

The atmosphere in Xianyang city seems a bit bleak this year.

The master of the empire lost his wife. He didn't want to show his sadness to others and stayed in the palace all day.

Then, he lost his left and right arms at the same time. Without Lin Xin and Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng became even more silent after experiencing a fierce beating from his son.

I also maintain a distrustful attitude towards the people around me.

In the middle of winter, he sat alone in the Zhangtai Hall, like a ruthless machine reviewing memorials.

The eunuchs around him were feeling dizzy after working around the clock with Ying Zheng for twelve hours a day.

What about Ying Zheng?

Ying Zheng was faced with problems from all sides of the empire, as well as thorny military and political issues. The South Vietnam War was not ideal, but it was a great opportunity to consume the soldiers' desire for war and killing.

For Ying Zheng, in order to achieve his goal, he would use any means necessary, as long as he could resist certain temptations and maintain the bottom line of being a human being.

Ying Zheng was a man who was good at walking on a tightrope.

While others would lose their minds in the face of such overwhelming power, he would not. Even in the absence of any historical experience, he would not lose his mind in the face of overwhelming power.

Under high-intensity pressure, the pain of losing his wife, his son's struggle for power with him, his constant vigilance against treacherous ministers and the manipulation of power, plus the loneliness that came from all directions as the supreme king, Ying Zheng began to often have headaches.

In Fusu's opinion, this was due to excessive brain pressure.

But he had no way to explain it to these people.

Fusu had a way to solve Ying Zheng's chronic physical illness - that was to let him retire and rest.

Fusu was mainly worried about Ying Zheng's physical condition. He could have lived to be seventy or eighty and enjoyed his retirement like everyone else, but dealing with such heavy tasks every day was really bad for his health.

Fusu always thought that his father worked so hard, and he should take on some of the hard work for him, letting him handle state affairs while his father played with the beauties he had captured from all over the place.

This is a reasonable distribution.

Fusu, who was standing beside Ying Zheng to take care of him during his illness, had this in his mind all the time.

Feng Wanwan was actually closer to Ying Zheng, mainly because she was always considerate and always took the two children with her.

In fact, the two children were more thoughtful than Fusu. They looked at Ying Zheng with great concern, and Yao said worriedly, "If Grandfather dies, we will be without him in the future."

These words shocked everyone around.

Soon, the eldest son Ning also said, "Grandfather died of exhaustion."

Ying Zheng was sleeping when he heard two children talking and woke up in a daze.

He saw Madam Gan Tang in yellow covering the mouths of two children, surrounded by servants, and the doctor Xia Wuqie standing aside with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Your Majesty is very tired. You need to rest."

As Ying Zheng was speaking, the doctor soon brought the rice porridge. After Ying Zheng drank it, light finally appeared in his eyes.

The two children were tied up by their adults to show their filial piety. When they saw Ying Zheng wake up, they ignored him and sat together playing the spinning top game.

Ying Zheng was extremely happy when he saw the two children sitting on the ground playing.

"come over."

The two children looked up at Ying Zheng. Others could never get such love from Ying Zheng no matter how hard they tried to curry favor with him, but these two children had been loved by Ying Zheng since they were born.

Especially Yao, in Ying Zheng's eyes, he is his future successor. And he is much more pleasing to the eye than Fusu.

These two people don't care much about the blessings and luck that ordinary people can't get even after generations of hard work. They have been blessed with this unique resource since they were born.

The empire's highest authority has an undisguised and unreserved love for him.

However, these two children were not very willing to get close to Ying Zheng, because to them, Ying Zheng was actually nothing big, just a poor middle-aged man who loved his grandchildren.

Even after Lady Gan Tang brought the two children over, they were unwilling to get close to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng asked why.

Without even thinking, they answered, “Because the Father stinks.”

As they spoke, the two little ones even put on sour faces.

Everyone's faces turned black, but Ying Zheng laughed happily. He held a child in each hand and rubbed them on the left and right. The two children did have a strong milky scent on them.

Just like a dying old man smelling the fragrance of spring flowers, Ying Zheng immediately became full of life after holding the two children. He was very happy and delighted.

He said with satisfaction, "It seems that you two are telling the truth, unlike some people who look tall and strong but only tell lies."

Everyone looked at Fusu at the same time.

Madam Gan Tang smiled softly, "Father is not feeling well, so let's not deal with the memorials today. Let the Crown Prince and the two young princes accompany Father."

Ying Zheng touched the back of his head which was still aching. He finally remembered the government affairs. "What time is it now?"

"Father, it's noon."

Madam Gan Tang spoke softly, but Ying Zheng seemed to have lost a lot, and his face turned pale with fright.

"Yesterday, a flood occurred in a county in Jiangdong, and many people were drowned. I have not yet finished dealing with it."

Ying Zheng said this and was about to stand up.

The two young princes were used to it. They shouted, "Grandfather only likes us in words, but he actually likes the doctor's copper case more and can't bear to leave it for a day."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he seemed to understand something.

He picked up the two children, one in each armpit.

He was still in his prime, forty-three years old, still strong. Although he was not as talented and brilliant as Fusu, he was still very strong.

It was effortless to pick up two four-year-old children.

But with Fusu following behind, I have to think about a lot of things.

Father is obviously physically exhausted and his mind is not very sharp. How can he handle so many things? He should delegate power.

If he continues like this, he will end up hurting both sides, damaging his own body and losing control of the empire.

Fusu's mind kept ringing with what Wang Wan had said to him.

"Your Majesty is now in the ninth and sixth hexagram. The ninth and sixth hexagram means that the arrogant dragon will regret. Whatever he does is wrong."

Ying Zheng held the two children and played with them for a long time.

In fact, he was very tired. Madam Gan Tang was very careful and had noticed that Ying Zheng's neck was sweating.

I think Ying Zheng had just woken up and was wearing light clothes, so no matter how hot it was in the Qinian Palace, he would not sweat.

In fact, Ying Zheng was always feeling dizzy and confused, he was just afraid of being discovered.

He doesn't trust anyone anymore.

The eunuchs who had followed him for many years, the guards who had guarded the palace gates for decades, his sons and daughters-in-law, were not worthy of his trust.

He tried his best to hide his weakness and played horse riding games with his two grandchildren.

The two little ones only look small, but they actually eat well, sleep well, and are as heavy as two little pigs.

Ying Zheng played with them for a while, but he couldn't do it anymore.

Two children rode on Ying Zheng, one in front and one behind, one grabbed Ying Zheng's ears and the other spanked Ying Zheng's butt.

Ying Zheng was crawling all over the ground.

Emperor, humph, who cares what emperor he is, even if the king of heaven comes, he can't resist the temptation of family happiness. Then when you see your grandchildren, you have to let them ride on you like a horse. The two boys are getting crazier and crazier, their faces are red and their hearts are beating, and they don't want to get off at all.

The main thing is that the two of them actually rode on Ying Zheng, which is enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.

Fusu watched coldly from the side, I will see how long you can act. Similarly, he also wanted to see how long these two unfilial sons would waste time before they knew how to get back to their homework.

Fusu just stood aside and watched quietly, while Xia Wuqie and the other eunuchs climbed around Ying Zheng and played with him.

Traveling back to ancient times is a fatal flaw for men. No cigarettes, and now Fusu is in urgent need of a cigarette.

It was because of Madam Gan Tang that she couldn't stand it any longer. She had never seen anyone who cared so much about face and was so stubborn.

Ying Zheng's face had turned red, like the color of liver.

As he became fatter, he began to lose the strength he once had. The people around him had already seen through it. Their acting skills were better than Ying Zheng's, but no one of them let Ying Zheng notice.

Ying Zheng was confident that he had deceived everyone, just as he thought that Zhao Gao never realized that he knew in his heart that he was a villain and was just using him.

Madam Gan Tang was worried that if Ying Zheng continued to act like this, someone might die.

So she stepped forward and took the older and heavier Prince Ning off Ying Zheng first.

Of course Ning was not satisfied and burst into tears.

He was only four years old and couldn't stand his grandmother, who was usually very kind to him, bullying him like this.

Then Mrs. Gan Tang took her own son down.

Then the two brothers started fighting. Ying Zheng looked at them and scolded them harshly, saying that there was no friendship between the two brothers.

The two brothers went back to the palace one after the other, crying.

Ying Zheng turned his back to the crowd and straightened his back with difficulty.

Now, everyone in the Zhangtai Palace saw it.

Their emperor's health is already like this.

Ying Zheng came back to his senses and saw that everyone was looking at him. He immediately pretended to be majestic and said, "Noon. You let me sleep until noon?"

"Your Majesty, you are sick." Xia Wuqie trembled with fear.

"Sick? I'm fine, what's wrong with me?"

Xia Wuqi had no choice but to remind him again of Ying Zheng’s experience yesterday.

"Your Majesty suddenly fainted at midnight today. Because Your Majesty insisted on handling government affairs last night, he refused to eat until midnight, and only drank some soup. At midnight, Your Majesty stood up and immediately fainted."

【Zi hour is divided into early Zi hour and late Zi hour. Early Zi hour belongs to the previous day, and late Zi hour belongs to the next day. It is equivalent to dividing the two hours in an hour, half belongs to yesterday, and half belongs to today.】

Ying Zheng was very angry when he heard this.

Xia Wuqi actually told the truth in front of Fusu. Isn't this disrespecting him?

Ying Zheng was furious and said to Xia Wuqie, "How do you take care of my body? I take those tonics every day, but they don't work at all."

"Waste! Good-for-nothing!"

"What's the point of me raising you?"

"From today on, you don't have to serve me anymore." In fact, when Ying Zheng said this, he had already made up his mind to kill him.

Madam Gan Tang looked at Ying Zheng's expression, trying to guess his thoughts. She was shocked. She said carefully, "Father, last night, thanks to the doctor Xia Wuqi, he served all night and stayed up all night, taking care of you all the time. Father should reward him for his hard work."

"I wanted to pay a visit to my father today, and I accidentally discovered that he was ill, and it had nothing to do with the doctor Xia Wuqie."

Feng Wanwan knew very well that Ying Zheng was angry because Xia Wuqie informed Hengyang Palace that he was ill.

But in fact, this was just an accident. If not her, who else could the news of Ying Zheng's illness be passed on to?

Madam Leshui? Hengyang Palace will not allow any woman to replace the position of Queen Ying Zheng.

After listening to Feng Wanwan's words, Ying Zheng's doubts gradually dispelled.

He looked at Fusu, "What are you doing here? And you are sitting in this palace without saying a word."

"minister……"

As soon as Fusu said a word, Ying Zheng started to scold him.

"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking!"

"As the crown prince, you should set an example for your subjects. The South and Vietnam wars have been going on for a long time and have not been conquered because there are too few generals willing to go!"

"As the crown prince, you should lead the troops, but you hesitated and didn't dare to go. How can a coward like you be worthy of the praises of the people?"

Ying Zheng openly lost his temper in the hall, scaring everyone in the hall so much that their faces turned pale.

Fusu looked at the ground.

Looking at him like this, Ying Zheng knew that although he appeared to be convinced and discouraged on the surface, he was actually not convinced at all in his heart.

So he got even more angry.

"I think you are also a waste, you love leisure and hate work, you are afraid of death!"

"I really don't know what tricks you used to trick those people into singing your praises!"

"Look at how useless you are."

“Afraid of suffering!”

"Since childhood, he has never seemed like a man of great accomplishment. He was afraid of studying and unwilling to get up early and go hunting late. His knowledge of the six arts of a gentleman is not as good as that of an old man selling melons outside the city."

After Ying Zheng gave Fusu a good scolding, he felt much better and his breathing became smoother. He began to be full of energy again.

Feng Wanwan looked at Ying Zheng with concern, and then looked at Fusu with worry.

Ying Zheng, who had calmed down, asked Fusu, "Tell me, what are you thinking now?"

"Thank you for your teachings, Father. After thinking it over, I decided to go to South Vietnam."

Fusu suddenly became extremely submissive, which made Ying Zheng feel uncomfortable for a while.

After Fusu left, Ying Zheng kept worrying about something.

But even though Ying Zheng was worried, he didn't have much time left.

The news of his illness and the onset of his chronic headache was like a winter wind, blowing to every corner of Xianyang City overnight.

"His Majesty the First Emperor is just too strong-willed!"

"Yes! I heard that the First Emperor had to deal with 200 kilograms of memorials a day."

"With such heavy government affairs, no wonder."

"Well - if you ask me, it's just a word that makes you lose."

"What word?"

"greedy--"

Xiao He got off work. Although he had a carriage, he always traveled in a very low-key manner and never showed off.

The simple carriage passing through the street was really inconspicuous.

Passers-by thought that this was just an ordinary horse-drawn carriage owned by a resident of Xianyang.

Little did they know that the person sitting inside was Xiao He, a clean official from Xianyang whom they respected very much.

Xiao He sat in the carriage listening to their discussions. He was amazed that the First Emperor's reputation had fallen to such a low level, from being admired by the whole world to being discussed and bad-mouthed by the common people in Xianyang city behind his back.

Ying Zheng has completely lost the support of the people.
