My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 747 The Emperor First Gets His Family in Order

"Then according to the captain's opinion, I should not do anything in the next three years."

Wei Liao shook his head.

"Your Majesty is exactly wrong. In the first three years, ministers should not issue orders too frequently, and the lives of officials and people should not be changed too much. Your Majesty has exempted taxes, and the people will know what to do."

"If I don't do anything, the people won't change. It's only Your Majesty who needs to change."

Although he had expected that the three ministers would come to persuade him today, he would inevitably be advised to make corrections in certain aspects, such as getting close to gentlemen like Shao Ping and staying away from villains like Chen Ping.

But when Wei Liao told himself that no one needed to do anything, the whole world was watching him to do things.

Fusu was still a little surprised.

"The world depends on me?"

Wei Liao: "The rise and fall of the world depends on your majesty."

"Since the highest power in the world is symbolized by the Xianyang Palace, all future reforms must start from here."

The real reform must start with the change of emperor, from Qin II himself, and from the highest power center of Xianyang Palace.

"The administration of government officials is ultimately a matter of following the example of the superiors. To this end, we must first standardize the palace laws."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about other things during these three years. Just leave them to the two prime ministers."

"Your Majesty, just take care of the palace affairs. Three years later, when your Majesty issues policies, as soon as the decrees are issued, people all over the world will follow closely. No one will be unwilling to obey the decrees."

The young Qin II never imagined that the beginning of his governance of the world would not be some drastic policy reforms, but that he had to reform himself first, his own nest - the Xianyang Palace, in order to be governed by his ministers.

The quiet Second Generation was no longer willing to remain calm.

He pressed his arms on both sides of the armrests of the chair and looked at Wei Liao.

Wang Wan also glanced at Wei Liao leisurely. This guy didn't look very steady. When he talked about his ideas, he had a lot of things in mind.

No wonder the emperor couldn't bear to kill him, he was indeed full of knowledge. But he was too arrogant, unless he was optimistic about someone, he would not give him any guidance.

When Wang Wan thought of this, he naturally felt ashamed of himself. He realized what kind of existence the emperor's teacher was.

He is indeed far from it.

Wang Wan couldn't help sweating. If Wei Liao didn't want to compete with them, how could he be the prime minister now?

But when Feng Quji heard what Liao said, he couldn't help but tease him.

"The State Captain is really good at planning. Your Majesty, let the palace run, and the government offices and temples run by us. The whole country will be at peace, and there will be no more forced conscription. In this way, the State Captain won't have to do anything."

Liao smiled and said, "It is precisely because there is nothing for a national commander like me to do that the military commanders are all idle at home. This shows that my Qin State is now truly recuperating and has stopped fighting."

"If I, the national commander, am still busy, how can the people of the four barbarians believe that the Great Qin is really willing to live in peace with them? How can the people of the world believe that the Great Qin has really decided to abandon the use of military merit to improve its social status?"

"You..." Feng Quji's face turned pale and blue. He was the prime minister, what was Wei Liao doing, openly confronting him?

Wei Liao had no time to deal with Feng Quji, the lustful donkey. He turned to look at Qin II Fusu, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The Second's sleeves were placed on the armrests, and under his sleeves, his index finger tapped lightly on the armrests of the throne.

What do I think? What can I think?
The Second Emperor had a warm smile on his face and said gently, "Let's follow the advice of the State Commandant. I will not govern the country, but I will govern the palace."

After hearing this, Wei Liao was greatly excited. He immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Qin II with great sincerity.

"I congratulate your majesty. Your majesty will surely become an emperor in history that ordinary people can hardly reach."

Fusu didn't care about this. He just wanted to know whether his ideal could be realized. If he didn't do anything for three years, thinking from another perspective, wouldn't it be good? It was a good opportunity to observe what kind of people these ministers were.

In the past, Fusu had too little contact with the court and did not know enough about the court officials.

Fusu readily agreed, which really surprised Feng Quji.

On his way home, he thought to himself, I just said a few words to let His Majesty take his time. Why did Wei Liao ask the emperor not to issue any more orders, saying that the current situation is good and the emperor should manage the palace affairs well?

I don’t know if I was overthinking or what, but Feng Quji always felt that the emperor and Wei Liao were against him.

Although he was sitting in the carriage, he was wearing the heavy crown and the luxurious crown on his head. As long as Feng Quji wore these clothes and accessories for one day, he had to bear this responsibility.

Eat the salary of the emperor and share the worries of the emperor. This is the minimum thing a minister should do.

Feng Quji stroked his beard and said, "If they have different political views from me, then so be it. After all, I am the prime minister, so I have to tolerate these people."

Feng Quji smiled bitterly in the car.

After Feng Quji, Wang Wan, Wei Liao and others left one after another, Chen Ping stood up somewhat excitedly.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to follow Wei Liao's plan and reform the palace's internal affairs first?"

"I think you must think that this is different from the reform we originally envisioned. But the words of the national captain certainly sound incredible. But to be honest, it is the best thing to do according to the national captain's words."

"Power comes from the bottom up, but the exercise of power comes from the top down. My previous reform plan involved all aspects, including law, economy, military, culture and education."

"But I forgot the most important part. The captain is absolutely right."

Chen Ping was curious, "Your Majesty, please enlighten me. I wonder which part is missing?"

"Harmony among people." Fusu looked at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping immediately understood.

After a moment of silence, Chen Ping said with emotion, "Yes, without the support of others, we simply cannot handle these matters. Besides, there are too many vassal relatives of the royal family in this palace."

"I heard that if someone gets a job in the palace, even if it's a menial job, there will be countless people offering bribes outside the palace. Because they can get information from them."

"It has been almost seventy years since Shang Yang's reforms, but the situation in Qin is still the same. Those who do evil can often use money and goods to avoid punishment, while those who do good may not necessarily enjoy the benefits of national policies."

"There are more and more unfair things in the world, and people naturally become angry and unwilling to trust the law anymore."

"After all, the problem lies with people."

Chen Ping looked at the emperor worriedly, "But according to what the national commander said, your majesty wants to offend the royal family in the palace, teach those who try to gain people's hearts and take shortcuts a lesson, and promote a group of honest people to work in the palace."

"This will cause your majesty to offend people."

Fusu looked at Chen Ping and said, "Xianyang Palace is the supreme center of power. What Liao said is actually quite right. If this dark palace continues to be the same as before, it will say one thing in public and do another in secret."

"If the superiors set an example, the subordinates will follow suit. The people in the government and temples will also follow suit and engage in corruption, bribery, forming cliques for personal gain, and private transactions."

"We still need to strictly govern the palace."

Fusu was thinking about this and then he remembered the queen.

Chen Ping just watched Fusu's every move and gesture, and immediately felt what Fusu was thinking.

Ever since the emperor went against all odds and resolutely refused to appoint a crown prince, rumors spread in the palace that the emperor and the empress were having a falling out. Everyone said that the emperor favored Han Ji and would appoint Han Ji's son as crown prince in the future.

But based on Chen Ping's understanding of the emperor, the emperor would never do that.

Unfortunately, the palace maids and eunuchs didn't care what the truth was. Seeing that the emperor did not make Prince Yao the crown prince, they privately speculated and made up a lot of rumors.

People outside the palace also began to try to contact Han Ji's relatives, and some ministers even said that they wanted to welcome Han Ji's mother back into the palace so that Han Ji would have someone to keep her company.

In essence, he still wanted to gain certain benefits by pleasing Han Ji.

Han Ji was also harassed by many powerful people during this period, and people often gave her gifts. Han Ji was naturally unwilling to accept them, knowing that they had bad intentions.

Han Ji is different from other mothers. She doesn't want her son to become a big man or gain power and wealth.

He only hopes that his son can live his long life in his own way.

Maybe the eldest son Ning will choose to pursue power, but this is the path that Prince Ning wants to take himself, and she will not interfere.

Fusu was also very clear about these things.

But he couldn't interfere. Some things would become more chaotic the more they were mediated.

"Let's stop here for today. If I do nothing, my subjects and people will naturally find ways to solve their own problems. I won't cause them any more trouble." Chen Ping bowed, "Your Majesty is wise."

When Fusu came out of the palace, he met Guan Fu.

After becoming emperor, Fusu's appearance was groomed to be more mature, his beard was trimmed beautifully, and his appearance was even better than before.

Some people are not good-looking, so growing a beard does not look nice; but Qin Ershi was the eldest son of Qin Shihuang and the princess of Chu, so naturally he did not have this worry.

Don’t even think about looking good with long hair and beard. A good-looking man will also look good with a shaved head.

Guan Fu, who was patrolling in Zhangtai Palace, saw the emperor coming out of the palace this morning. Guan Fu's eyes lit up and said, "Your Majesty, you want to go hunting, right? Take me with you, take me with you."

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Shizhi, who was slacking off at the palace gate, immediately perked up and straightened his body.

"Do I look like the kind of person who only goes hunting when he has free time?"

Guan Fu nodded vigorously at first, and then kept shaking his head.

Fusu shook his head helplessly.

Guan Fu followed closely, as he was the emperor's personal bodyguard. Jing Ke looked at Guan Fu. If it weren't for Guan Fu, he would have always thought that the emperor had some purpose in asking him to follow him.

Qin II chose Guan Fu as his personal bodyguard, so why not choose a great hero like him as his personal bodyguard?

Anyway, Fusu used various means to gather together all the talents in history.

The two followed Fusu, and Fusu came to the Weiyang Palace.

After the queen was officially enthroned, she lived in the Weiyang Palace.

After the incident in the last month of the year, the emperor and the empress had not been able to get along well for a long time. Of course, it was also related to the fact that the empress was pregnant and had given birth to a child, and the emperor himself had just ascended the throne and was busy with reforms and the constant tug-of-war between his ministers, so both sides had no energy and no mood.

As a couple, separation and reunion are real.

If he really treats you with respect from beginning to end, and doesn't even blush with you or quarrel with you, then you really have to be careful.

When the other person dares to offend you, it means she doesn't want anything from you.

When they arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were all shaking with excitement.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has arrived."

Feng Wanwan's eyebrows lit up with joy, and her cheeks flushed. Why was she so excited? This is not the first time His Majesty has come here.

Guan Fu arrived at the door and hesitated for a moment. He could not help but whisper to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you have to have a good talk with the queen today. The queen treats you very well."

If someone else said such things and interfered in Fusu's family affairs, Fusu would definitely feel disgusted.

But Guan Fu said it was different.

Fusu gave him a cold look.

Guan Fu not only thought there was nothing wrong with this, but said, "The queen is just like the late queen mother. She is also the best to you and has given birth to two sons for you. How can you bear to let the queen endure the criticism of so many people in the palace alone?"

Guan Fu's words were the most honest.

"I'm here now. Do you think I'm a heartless person?"

Guan Fu shook his head, "That's not the case."

"By the way, are you good to your first wife?" Fusu suddenly asked again, "How many times a month do you visit your wife?"

Guan Fu stopped talking, his face turned red, and then he looked up to the sky. Next time he would not interfere in the emperor's affairs.

The palace servants around were all surprised to see how the emperor and Guan Fu got along.

Why are there always so many weirdos around Your Majesty?

Chen Ping who had that kind of relationship with him, Zhang Cang who was always quarreling with people, and the frivolous national commander Liao. The most incredible thing is that a person like Guan Fu in the Xianyang Palace has survived to this day and has become the highest-ranking guard commander.

This world is truly incredible.

Fusu asked the guards to stop and entered the Weiyang Palace alone.

The queen was still wearing a bright yellow silk dress, with a wide belt around her slender waist. Her face was full of joy, and her dimples were blooming like flowers.

"I respectfully welcome Your Majesty."

Fusu didn't want to treat the queen like this, but he had no choice.

After helping the queen to ascend the throne, Fusu went to see his second son with the queen.

To be honest, Fusu had a headache.

"What a pity! It would be great if she was a princess."

The emperor's words made the queen, who was very sensitive, fall into deep thought.

The atmosphere in the hall immediately became strange.

Looking at so many people present, the queen thought that she had completely abided by all the rules as a wife towards Qin II, and had always been sincere to him.

If he treated her badly, it was the emperor's fault. She had nothing to be ashamed of, and there was no need to feel wronged.

The emperor's actions are just to prove his character to the people of the world.

The Queen smiled and asked gently,

"Your Majesty, don't you like the prince? How come you are different from the previous kings of Qin? No one would want to have fewer sons."

Fusu stared at the queen who had mustered up the courage to say this, and felt that a very soft light was emanating from her whole body.

He likes such a queen.

Just now, Fusu didn't care about the queen's feelings and said those words without thinking. He didn't want to have too many sons, because they would fight each other. Even if he divided the fiefdoms, it would be best if they were concubines' sons. If he had two legitimate sons, what would he do if they fought?

Fusu himself also experienced what it was like to have many brothers, and it was really a struggle. If he had not been the eldest son, to be honest, Fusu's path to becoming emperor would not have been so easy.

Fusu thought quickly and said, "I already have Yao'er with the Queen. If we have another son, I don't know how much territory I should give him."

Although the queen knew in her heart that this was just the emperor's words against his will, as long as the emperor gave an explanation, everything would be fine.

"I came here because I have something to tell the Queen."

The queen was actually very unhappy. She had survived a life-and-death experience and survived the gates of hell to give birth to this son for the emperor.

The emperor actually told him that it was a pity that he was a young master.

The Queen's heart was broken.

I don’t know if the emperor did it on purpose or not, but today was particularly infuriating.

"Your Majesty, please speak up."

"I have decided to wait until Yao is eight years old and then formally enthrone him as the crown prince. This will stabilize the government and appease the people."

The queen couldn't believe her ears.

This is what Fusu thought. The matter of the crown prince should be settled as soon as possible so that outsiders would not have dirty thoughts and would not be given opportunities to take advantage of.

Fusu had long been thinking about finding an opportunity to confirm the position of crown prince.

After listening to Liao's words today and knowing that governing a country must start with governing the palace, Fusu made up his mind to enthrone a crown prince.

Can't delay any longer.

Cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world.

If you want to govern the country, you must first take care of your own affairs so as not to give bad people an opportunity to take advantage.
