My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 670 Fusu, you have changed.

There was silence in Zhangtai Palace.

The eunuchs on both sides lowered their heads and dared not speak. Their necks were tucked under their collars, not daring to show even an inch, as if their heads would fall off at the next second.

Ji Bu's request, as loud as a bell, was still rising and falling in the hall.

Ying Zheng's face was like ice slowly solidifying in winter.

Outside the palace gate, the spring scenery is beautiful, with a few white clouds floating in the blue sky. In the flower beds in the palace garden, spring flowers are blooming one by one, and the white buds are clustered together.

The palace was as cold as the twelfth lunar month, with only a howling cold wind missing.

Ying Zheng was filled with gunpowder, but Ji Bu refused to light the fuse.

Every word he said was measured just right, and Ying Zheng had no excuse to punish him.

In addition, when Ji Bu made his suggestion and handed such a big fireball to Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng realized at that moment that he seemed to have jumped into a big pit on his own initiative.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ji Bu will come to see me even if I don't summon him.
-
In Hengyang Palace, Chen Ping sat among the bamboo bushes, thinking about his next step.

He still had too many things to explain to Ji Bu. If he failed this time or didn't have the chance to tell that thing, how would he let Ji Bu meet Ying Zheng again? Or, he had to do it by himself.

No one is more suitable for and better at palace fighting than Chen Ping.

After all, he had grown up in such an environment where being handsome was considered a crime. They were also common people, but they wanted to eat him alive.

Of course, Chen Ping is still thinking about arranging more things.

Because letting Ji Bu return to Xianyang City to prevent the First Emperor from making his next eastern tour was only the first task assigned by the prince, and the next one would be even bigger.

Although the prince sometimes seemed indecisive and sometimes acted like a daughter, he had no intention of backing down on this matter.

The owner of Xianyang City will soon change.

And most people are still unaware of these things.

However, boiling a frog in warm water is undoubtedly the best way to deal with His Majesty the First Emperor!
-
In Zhangtai Palace, the upright Ji Bu met Zulong. He hoped that he could complete the task and return home alive. He also had a mother and a younger brother.

But Zulong is different.

Ying Zheng's face turned as black as charcoal, and he was unable to utter a word.

Some of the eunuchs around were so frightened that they were sweating all over, with beads of sweat the size of beans already oozing out of their foreheads. However, they did not dare to move at all and could only let the sweat crawl down their faces and endure the unbearable itching.

Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't say anything, Ji Bu thought for a while and realized that he had said nothing wrong.

Everything he says is from the conscience of heaven and earth!
Ji Bu then launched another attack, "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven should take care of the people of the world. Now the people of the world have to bear heavy taxes and heavy corvee labor. And the number of unjust, false and wrong cases is growing like a volcano, and the war in South Vietnam is not improving."

"This is the time for your Majesty to do his duty."

Ying Zheng looked at Ji Bu, wondering whether to chop him into nine pieces or skin him alive.

"According to the law, you should now be sentenced to be beheaded."

When Ji Bu heard this, he thought, Qin Shi Huang, you have been fooled.

Ying Zheng realized that he had been careless, but he did not realize that Ji Bu was an extraordinary person.

Ying Zheng may never understand that a person's honesty and purity are the strongest things in the world, and there is nothing that cannot be broken by them.

Until he met Ji Bu.

"Your Majesty, you say I am wrong?"

"I am the Supreme Ruler, and you are just a small official. I never asked you to answer, but you actually told me what to do!?"

Ying Zheng has been the boss for a long time, and what he hates most is someone telling him how to do things.

So far, many people who have made suggestions or offered good advice have failed at this point.

Because the method was wrong, the other party thought he was teaching me how to do things.

This is why, since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts.

However, all the tricks and schemes are ineffective in front of the sincere son of Qin.

"Your Majesty, if you want to kill me, please let me know that you are innocent. You must give me an explanation."

Ying Zheng was so angry that he almost screamed on the throne.

"Does this count as contempt for me?"

"What's the reason?" Ji Bu was a famous knight in the State of Chu, but...he was actually a nitpicker.

When faced with this kind of debate question, Ji Bu suddenly felt that he had regained his self-confidence, and his whole body was filled with strength again.

"Your Majesty, please give me a reason."

"How dare you ask me not to make another tour to the east? You know that the fugitive nobles of the six kingdoms are hiding in the countryside. If I don't make the tour to the east, I will be letting lice multiply on my body without taking care of them."

Ying Zheng said heavily.

Ji Bu said, "Your Majesty, I used to admire you very much. After all, you are the first person to conquer the world. Such a large territory is rare in the world. Qin is the most powerful country in the world!"

"Now, because I have fulfilled my duty as a subject and told you that if you tour the east, the common people will be unhappy. Just because I said this, you think that I have acted presumptuously and offended Your Majesty."

"If your majesty kills me today, no one will tell your majesty the truth in the future."

Ying Zheng's hands trembled slightly.

Is this guy's head made of elm or rusty iron?

"Besides, Your Majesty, the reason you are worried about the remaining nobles of the six kingdoms is actually because you are worried that they will lead the common people to rebel. Now that you have established an unprecedented achievement, everyone is waiting for you to bring peace to the world."

"The common people originally admired and respected you. But now, you know that your tour to the east will make the common people unhappy, but you still go on the tour. Isn't this just throwing away the people's hearts that originally belonged to you, and letting the fleeing nobles of the six countries pick it up?"

Ying Zheng was stunned by what he said.

How can a little kid have so many reasons?

But if you think about it carefully, these words make sense.

"Your Majesty does not fulfill your responsibilities, but punishes me who fulfills my responsibilities. In my opinion, Your Majesty should punish yourself."

Ji Bu finished speaking in one breath, and Ying Zheng was so angry that he almost smoked on the spot.

Ying Zheng realized that this matter might be known to the world.

No one noticed that Ying Zheng was already sweating profusely at this time. Ji Bu's moves were fatal and every word he said hit Ying Zheng's sore spot.

Sweat flowed down Ying Zheng's back under his clothes, but he could only endure the itching and did not dare to move easily.

It had been almost twenty years, and no one had ever been able to make Ying Zheng sit upright like this.

"it is good!"

"Good Jibu."

"Hearing is worse than meeting."

Ying Zheng laughed out of anger. If he killed Ji Bu today, it would definitely damage his dignity and reputation. He could only give him a sweet treat and win over this ignorant young man.

"Today I finally understand why my son loves you so much."

"From today on, you can come and go as you please in Xianyang. You can come to see me at will without my summons."

Ji Bu was stunned for a moment.

This overwhelming glory and honor suddenly fell upon him. Ji Bu felt very happy at first, but he quickly reacted.

If someone is too kind to others without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. His Majesty the First Emperor was not angry and was willing to accept suggestions, which was good enough. Why did he reward himself so much?

It is said that the First Emperor once treated the famous scholar Liao with great courtesy, but after he got him, he tried to kill him several times because Liao refused to fulfill the First Emperor's wishes.

No matter how talented a person is, there will come a day when everything will be taken away from him.

I am receiving rewards without any merit now, and if I am punished in the future, won't this make people all over the world laugh at me?

Ji Bu couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

He began to realize that the Emperor summoned him today not because of Chen Ping's arrangement. Otherwise, why would the situation be so unfavorable to him?

So, Ji Bu scored twice and activated a skill that could render the opponent speechless.

"Your Majesty, I came to Xianyang only to fulfill my duty. When I met Your Majesty, I told you what the people of the world are thinking and I advised Your Majesty not to make another tour to the east, so as to avoid wasting people's money and resources."

"Your Majesty wants to kill me for this. Someone must have said something bad about me to deceive you. He wants you to think I have such intentions."

"I have been summoned by Your Majesty today to speak for the people of the world to live and work in peace and security."

"Your Majesty asked me to say everything I wanted to say, and now it has been done. I have fulfilled my long-cherished wish and performed my duty as a minister. This is the best reward in the world."

"I am only fulfilling my duty. How can I accept such a reward?"

"If I am rewarded so generously by His Majesty just for fulfilling my duties, then His Majesty's Xianyang Palace will probably be crowded with loyal ministers from all over the world."

"Your Majesty, if you reward me for my advice, will you not reward others for their advice? I am afraid that people in the world who know how to do this may spy on Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng was stunned, and he felt his mind went blank.

He subconsciously looked at Zhao Gao on the left, but that man was already dead.

Ying Zheng also has weaknesses. Although he is sharp-tongued, he is not good at debate. When he encounters a "talent" like Ji Bu, he can only think that he has hit a wall.

The only solution now is to let him go.

Ying Zheng was ashamed and said, "You are right. I shouldn't reward you. Go away."

"Your Majesty, I take my leave."

Ji Bu left the palace with his eyes shining brightly.

The imperial eunuch was impressed by Ji Bu and personally escorted him out of the palace. He also said to him, "If you come to the palace again in the future, I will come to pick you up in person."

When he arrived at the inn, as soon as Ji Bu entered his room, his legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

"Iron Officer, what's going on?"

Ji Bu's brothers immediately surrounded him.

"I heard that you met the First Emperor today. What does he look like? Is he majestic?"

"What did His Majesty tell you?"

"Your Majesty, there are many princesses who have not yet married... Do you want to marry a princess to you?"

Six people surrounded Ji Bu, asking him questions, but Ji Bu's legs just kept shaking.

He had been holding it in in the temple for too long.

Ji Bu looked around, unable to utter a word.

Later, every word of what Ji Bu said to Qin Shihuang reached everyone's ears.

But the brothers around him always remembered that after Ji Bu came back, he hid in the house with trembling legs for two full days before he recovered.

When Chen Ping heard that Ji Bu had escaped alive, he came to visit him in person.

"You are really amazing. I heard that you made the Emperor speechless."

Chen Ping patted Ji Bu on the shoulder and said, "It seems that this matter will succeed in nine out of ten cases."

Ji Bu just smiled bitterly and pointed at his shaking legs, "Next time something like this happens, let's ask someone else to do it."

Chen Ping thought Ji Bu was just being modest. "You are already famous in Xianyang. The next step is probably to become famous all over the world. The prince has given you this task. Do you know how significant it is?"

Ji Bu didn't want to listen at all. He didn't want to face Qin Shi Huang again.
-
The common people in Xianyang City discussed this matter heatedly. On one hand, some praised the wisdom of the First Emperor, and on the other hand, some praised Ji Bu for his bravery and outspokenness.

It had been a long time since they had seen someone as comfortable and refreshing as Ji Bu.

The world is a huge makeshift team. Most people will show their true colors in the face of real difficulties and adversity. Only a few can remain open and aboveboard in adversity, and only an extremely few can face difficulties and scale higher peaks.

Ji Bu became one of the very few.

From then on, he became famous throughout the world.

It was only after the incident developed that Chen Ping realized Fusu's wisdom.

If anyone else does this, it won't achieve the same effect.

Only Ji Bu could make his opponents shine in history because of him.

And only Ying Zheng could make Ji Bu, the iron official of Yi Yang, famous throughout the world in one battle.

This was a remonstrance that benefited all parties.

The first party that naturally benefits is Ji Bu. With such an experience, Ji Bu's future political career will surely soar.

Ji Bu would not suffer any loss. Although the process was thrilling, his final outcome was very good.

The second party was Ying Zheng, the person he was admonishing. After experiencing the great humiliation of Zhao Gao's murder, Ying Zheng urgently needed something to wash away his bad reputation.

Then listening to Ji Bu's advice is the best way to change his image in front of the people and his ministers.

This was almost a gift that Fusu delivered to Ying Zheng.

The third party is Fusu, the mastermind behind this plan.

After striking at Ying Zheng's private power, Ying Zheng would definitely seek revenge. So Fusu had no intention of stopping after killing Zhao Gao. On the one hand, he had to guard against Ying Zheng, and on the other hand, he had to further expand his political influence and make himself a person that no one could control in the court.

Now, through Ji Bu's mouth, Fusu completed the annual performance evaluation indicators of everyone in the Imperial Academy.

The fourth party is the common people of the world.

Fusu's victory meant good days for the common people.

If Ying Zheng gave up his eastern tour, the people along the way would no longer have to pay tribute, and the national treasury would save a lot of money.

With Ying Zheng personally watching over the city, the treacherous ministers and bad guys in Xianyang City no longer dared to act lawless.

Chen Ping couldn't help but praise this, "It turns out that the prince did not lie to me. One fish can really be eaten four times."

However, in the Xianyang Palace, after the incident of Ji Bu's remonstration fermented, Ying Zheng couldn't help but recall the teachings he had given to Fusu many years ago.

"Fusu, you're still not cruel enough."

These words suddenly rang in Ying Zheng's mind.

But soon, Ying Zheng looked at the bright spring scenery outside the railing and grabbed the railing tightly.

"Fusu, you have changed."

"First kill Zhao Gao, then stop my eastern tour. This was all planned by you step by step."

"Don't let me breathe!"

"You are truly my good son."
