My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 672 There is only one sun!
"Do you think that His Majesty agreed to Ji Bu's request because he heard him say a lot of nice things?"

Yao Jia's words made a lot of sense, which in turn aroused Zhou Qingchen's desire to win.

How is it possible that everything you said is right?

I am a doctor appointed by His Majesty himself.

"Ji Bu is a man who has always been admired by those around him. He always speaks and acts in accordance with the principles of heaven and conscience. If it were someone else, it would be impossible to convince Your Majesty."

"In my opinion, this matter is not that mysterious."

Zhou Qingchen looked confident.

"The Crown Prince was able to dispatch his trusted subordinates to Xianyang City at will without the knowledge of Your Majesty. This is too shocking."

"You are worrying too much, my Lord. I came to discuss this with you to help your Majesty. If you told your Majesty about this directly, your Majesty would probably be furious."

When Yao Jia heard this, his cheeks turned red with anger.

"That's nonsense. You know that sending Ji Bu here was the prince's trick."

"If someone else makes a remonstrance, Your Majesty will certainly suffer. Letting someone like Ji Bu come here will give Your Majesty a way out, get the matter done, and give him enough face."

"If someone else comes, will Your Majesty be able to receive the praise of the people!?"

Yao Jia was furious, and his roar and spit fell on Zhou Qingchen's face.

Zhou Qingchen panicked for a moment, "It can't be true."

"What do you think?"

Zhou Qingchen realized that it was not that simple to prevent the Emperor from making an eastern tour. This was to force the Emperor to save money, and it was indeed a political struggle for power.

However, Zhou Qingchen had misjudged many things. Now was not the intense stage of the political struggle, but the end!

"Your Majesty seemed to have won, but in fact he was defeated. That Ji Bu, he probably didn't understand what was going on from beginning to end. He thought he was just making a simple remonstrance."

"However, in my opinion, if Ji Bu knew the prince's true intention, he might not dare to make a suggestion. The prince must have made very detailed arrangements before he left."

Yao Jia touched his bucket belly and fell into deep thought.

Zhou Qingchen said slowly at this time, "I was far off. I just thought that His Majesty did this under pressure, but I didn't expect it to be the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince..."

Yao Jia snorted, "Prince, that is the successor chosen by His Majesty himself, how could he be any worse? His Majesty can only stay in the palace now and cannot go on an eastern tour. He will definitely be angry."

"It won't be long before the prince causes trouble again, and we don't know what it will be about."

Zhou Qingchen couldn't help but yell, "What!? Still coming?"

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Yao Jia looked at Zhou Qingchen with disdain.

"Zhao Gao has been killed, and the censors have also made remonstrations. The prince simply doesn't want Your Majesty to do whatever he wants, and Your Majesty has already restrained himself a lot. Now the prince doesn't even allow Your Majesty to go on an eastern tour."

"When the prince does something else, then this world... this world will be..."

Yao Jia looked at Zhou Qingchen and said, "Go on, keep talking. It's just what it is."

Zhou Qingchen suddenly jumped up from his seat, "The world belongs to the prince."

Yao Jia and Zhou Qingchen looked at each other.

The two fell silent again.

Zhou Qingchen looked at Yao Jia with great emotion, "I have served Your Majesty as an official for more than ten years. I have been impeached by censors, slandered by villains, and cursed by common people. I have thought about my ending many times, but I never expected that something like this would happen."

"It's hard to imagine how the prince will deal with us in the end, given his unpredictable mind. The prince always likes to kill people himself. I know that the prince likes to kill people to vent his anger when he stays in the palace every day."

Zhou Qingchen huddled tremblingly at Yao Jia's feet, like a pitiful kitten asking for help from passers-by in the snow in winter.

Listening to these inexplicably sad words, Yao Jia inexplicably moved closer to Zhou Qingchen.

"Although I have always hated your skills in pleasing His Majesty, I have to admit that most of the time what you say does make people feel comfortable."

The two looked at each other, then fluttered their sleeves in disgust.

"Now, let's go see His Majesty together. At the critical moment, it is still only the two of us who will stand with His Majesty."

Zhou Qingchen said righteously.

Yao Jia also stood up.

"Let's go. Every dynasty has had this day. We are no exception."

The two men drove to the Xianyang Palace and expressed their request to see His Majesty.

The imperial edict finally told them, "You two will have to wait here for a while. His Majesty is summoning the Left Prime Minister and the Minister of the Imperial Household."

The two looked at each other, and it turned out that they were not yet in the first echelon of His Majesty. They only needed a glance to understand each other's thoughts.

In Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng was playing chess with Li Si, while Shaofu Zhang Han was standing beside them.

Ying Zheng's face was as black as charcoal, but Li Si was ruthless in every step of the game of Go.

In just half a minute, Ying Zheng lost.

"Prime Minister, are you trying to add insult to injury?"

Li Si shook his head, "Your Majesty is upset. I just hope Your Majesty understands that anger is not the solution at this time."

"I am like prey on a spider's web that can be eaten alive at any time..."

Shaofu Zhang Han's face turned pale.

Isn't it your own fault?

Li Si said to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, please be patient. It will only take a year at the shortest. The prince has been in the border area for a long time, and these rabble in Xianyang will soon reveal their flaws. That will be your chance to take action."

This is what Ying Zheng hated.

He knew that this was the solution, but the problem was that Fusu's approach did not give Ying Zheng any chance to find their flaws.

Instead, Fusu was pressing forward step by step, looking for Ying Zheng's flaws.

Poor Ying Zheng, he felt like a sieve, full of flaws, and it all depended on when the other party would launch an attack.

Ying Zheng didn't say anything. He looked at the chessboard with disgust in his heart.

Zhang Han saw Ying Zheng's predicament at the moment. His Majesty had been pinned down and could not move.

Once he wants to make a move, the prince will take action, and then Your Majesty will lose even more miserably.

It is not known whether Li Si was really confused or pretending to be confused, as he always avoided the main issues when answering Ying Zheng's questions.

Zhang Han thought, it’s finally time for him to speak.

"Your Majesty, why not start small and take it slow? I heard that the Crown Prince has two famous scholars under him, one named Chen Yu and the other named Zhang Er. These two have been in the Imperial Academy for a long time, but have never been given important positions."

"Zhang Er? This name sounds familiar."

"He is a retainer of Lord Xinling and is very famous. Liu Ji, who is under the command of the crown prince, has a very good relationship with him and regards him as his elder brother."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and said, "You, being the Shaofu is really a sacrifice for me. You should be by my side every day."

When Zhang Han heard these words, he inexplicably fell into memories.

If Your Majesty had not favored Zhao Gao in the past, there wouldn't be so many problems.

不过现在已经晚了。

"Find an opportunity as soon as possible. I want to meet these two people and appoint them as officials in the court."

"only."

Ying Zheng has now decided to poach Fusu's talents and slowly conquer the talented young people around him.

Having been king for more than 30 years, Ying Zheng is very good at this kind of game.

Li Si saw that Zhang Han provided Ying Zheng with a feasible plan. For a moment, he did not see that His Majesty would lose completely, but he also did not see that His Majesty had a chance of winning.

After Zhang Han left, Li Si was left alone.

After leaving the house, Zhang Han always felt uneasy, so he quietly slipped back and listened to what was going on at the side door.

Li Si asked Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with the crown prince in the future?"

"What do you think, Prime Minister?"

"Since ancient times, political affairs have always been affected by a single move. Your Majesty wants to reduce the influence of the crown prince in the court today. If this happens, I am afraid that countless people will be affected."

"I am worried that things will get out of control in the end."

Ying Zheng also stroked his beard.

Li Si was right to worry.

Ying Zheng said slowly, "There is only one sun in the sky."

Li Si bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Okay, Your Majesty."

Zhang Han didn't dare to listen anymore and tiptoed away quickly.

After leaving the palace, Zhang Han saw Yao Jia and Zhou Qingchen, standing shoulder to shoulder, like a pair of twins.

"Shaofu, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Han was afraid that Li Si would come out and see him, so he said hastily, "It's just official business."

After saying this, Zhang Han left in a hurry.

Zhou Qingchen whispered to Yao Jia, "Look, look, among all the civil and military officials in the court, I am the only one who cares about you as a senior official. Even the junior officials don't care to talk to you when they see you."

Yao Jia whispered, "Sometimes, it's actually quite comforting when you keep your mouth shut."

Soon, Li Si came out.

"I've met the Prime Minister."

When Zhou Qingchen saw Li Si, he immediately jumped in front of Li Si happily, like a dog kept in every household's yard.

Yao Jia looked at Zhou Qingchen's actions and brushed his sleeves as if he had just leaned against something dirty.

"How is your Majesty feeling? I heard that your Majesty could not go on the Eastern Tour, and I was worried for several days."

Li Si looked at Zhou Qingchen and said solemnly, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so how can he care about these trivial matters? Even if Ji Bu did not advise, Your Majesty would probably not go on the eastern tour."

Zhou Qingchen’s eyes widened and he stood there in a daze.

Not really.

Then he was worrying in vain.

Li Si glanced at Zhou Qingchen with eyes that saw through everything, and then looked at Yao Jia.

By the time Zhou Qingchen and Yao Jia met Ying Zheng, Zhou Qingchen was already timid and didn't know what to say.

Yao Jia looked at Zhou Qingchen with disdain, and after persuading Ying Zheng to send his attendants away again, he explained his purpose to Ying Zheng.

"Who knows about this?"

"It's just the two of us. We want to ask His Majesty first. After all, the prince is His Majesty's eldest son." Yao Jia was very frank.

Zhou Qingchen was trembling with fear and had no idea what to say.

There were countless little people fighting in his mind, and he just felt scared.

No way, Your Majesty is really going to fight with Crown Prince Zheng.

What should I do? The blood will definitely splash all over me.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhou Qingchen, who was not capable of anything, and thought that he could only write songs and essays.

"I was going to postpone my eastern tour. There's no need to make such a fuss. I'll just pretend I didn't hear anything about what happened today."

"Go back."

Ying Zheng said these words with an expressionless face.

Zhou Qingchen was as if he had been pardoned. He panted loudly to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty is wise. I told you it was no big deal."

However, Yao Jia felt that the matter was more serious than he had imagined.

He originally wanted to help His Majesty deal with the Crown Prince, but His Majesty didn't trust him that much, so he...

After the two men left the palace, Zhou Qingchen was as happy as a 200-pound fat man, but Yao Jia fell into deep thought.
