My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 760 The Emperor is Sick

The current wealthy and well-off family relies on the hard work of the whole family from morning till night, getting up early and going to bed late.

They could never become like the general they saw, who owned a house with five courtyards, a carriage, a wife, a concubine, and five or six children.

Human beings, since the invention of food, clothing, housing and transportation, have been pursuing houses, cars and women from generation to generation.

The two brothers, Zuo and You, are just like the millions of old Qin people in the Great Qin.

They have lived in Guanzhong for too long, and their ancestors and fathers have enjoyed political benefits. As vested interests, they are naturally unwilling to give up easily.

Unfortunately, Qin Shi Huang was a fool. He sent troops to attack Nanyue, which resulted in heavy losses. He also clamored to become an immortal, shattering the Qin people's fantasy of climbing up the social ladder.

So everyone placed their hopes on Fusu.

As a result, Fusu was an anti-war person!
Good guy.

The Qin Dynasty fought for more than fifty years, or even two or three hundred years.

While one group of people were still desperately trying to climb up, another group of people had already laid down in their homes in their hometowns. They hated the war, which had taken away their families and left their wives and elderly parents alone in their hometowns.

The forced conscription law has harmed too many families.

Fortunately, Qin II opposed the war and solved everyone's problems at the same time.

First, the anti-war faction wanted to go home, and Fusu fulfilled their wish; second, the pro-war faction had not been able to gain any benefits for a long time, and many people had already noticed something was wrong. Fusu openly stood up to oppose the war at this time, which was speaking to the people's heart.

The system of military merit titles was cleverly resolved with the abdication of Qin Shihuang and the ascension of Fusu to the throne.

It means to remove the military merit system from the stage.

When Ying Zheng was still clear-headed, he decisively closed the system of military merit and passed the throne to Fusu.

The hot potato that had been held by successive Qin monarchs was thrown into the sea by Ying Zheng and Fusu.

Ying Zheng played the villain and Fusu played the good guy.

What the ministers could learn was that Fusu forced Qin Shihuang to abdicate; but the ministers would never know what the former supreme ruler of the empire and Qin Ershi, who was then the crown prince, had discussed behind closed doors.

However, even though the hot potato has been thrown away, it doesn’t mean that the hot potato no longer exists!

Ying Zheng always knew that the military merit system was a hot potato, but he was able to hold it with his hands.

He was able to use cruel officials and strictly enforce the law to ensure that those who were awarded titles for military merit could enjoy the benefits for a long time.

But it is still a hot potato after all.

Ying Zheng has been thinking about throwing away the hot potato.

Fusu sometimes guessed blindly that his father seemed tough, cold, tyrannical, and ruthless on the surface, but he was softer than anyone else in his heart. What he said about leaving a peaceful and prosperous world for future generations was actually thinking about completely exhausting the heavy burden of the military merit system through heavy labor and heavy military service.

Observing the historical Qin Shi Huang, it seems that he made a series of suicidal decisions. He made the world suffer and took the blame.

He is a respectable man.

Ying Zheng knew better than anyone else about the serious problem of the military merit system.

Ying Zheng just helped Fusu by throwing away the carrying pole so that Fusu could travel light.

But the Qin Dynasty always had such a hot potato, and Ying Zheng could only help Fusu, so that this hot potato was no longer hanging over Fusu's head, but instead turned into a sword hanging over the people's heads; like a sharp fishbone stuck in the people's throats.

Everybody is uncomfortable.

Their ancestors chopped off other people's heads. At that time, killing a person was such an honor that it was considered a great honor in the surrounding area.

Now, there are second and third level knights everywhere. In order to highlight their own differences and show their own strength, what should they do?

Okay, climb up.

In the past, no one was a noble, but now everyone is a second or third level noble.

When you don’t have a title, work hard towards getting one; when you are only at the second or third level, work hard towards the fifth or tenth level.

Once the ceasefire is broken, man, if you destroy these people's dreams, they will want your life.

Qin Shi Huang was unable to control the situation in the first place. It was not just the six states that he could not control. More importantly, with the changes of the times, facing the reality of the serious depreciation of military merit titles, the old Qin people had gradually begun to refuse to accept it.

In the contest between various forces, Fusu endured the pressure and stood under the sword together with the common people.

The overwhelming desire is about to collapse, and people's hearts cannot find a way out.

Huang-Lao's teachings, this spiritual medicine, was once again placed on a high platform by the majority in response to the needs of the times. Therefore, the soul of the Han people is natural, pure and inaction, and no longer pursues.

It is equivalent to everyone knowing that the blind pursuit of fame, wealth and honor in the past was wrong, and a large number of people have awakened.

Now, a new leader has been born in Daqin.

He was going to do the most important things that the Han Dynasty had to do to succeed the Qin Dynasty.

The first is to dismantle the system of military merit and nobility;

Second, fill the ideological and spiritual gap for the Qin people. If everyone in a country wants to be a king, a prince, a general or a minister, that's fine. Why is the world in chaos? It's because everyone wants to be the boss.

Why was the world not in chaos during the reign of Qin Shi Huang? Because after he became the boss of everyone, he did not allow anyone else to be the boss.

All the men in the world were conquered by him in this way.

The third is to reallocate resources rationally to complete the great task accomplished by Liu Bang, Chen She, Wu Guang, Xiang Yu and others in history - to make the Chinese aristocracy disappear from history and allow the common people to rise.

Fusu came on the stage and shouted that he wanted to divide the land, but what was his new way of dividing it?

When the night was quiet, Ying Zheng was always worried.

He was wearing a white suit and sandals, walking along the long palace road.

He studied law, alchemy, and astrology.

His mind was often in a mess. In the middle of the night, when the entire city of Xianyang was sound asleep, the founder of the Qin Empire found it difficult to fall asleep.

He has too many things to worry about.

It was one thing to play too much, but Ying Zheng no longer cared about it. Since Fusu showed his outstanding talent at a very young age, Ying Zheng had actually anticipated his future.

This was the best possible outcome for now. The son who inherited his legacy was the one he loved and hated the most, so Ying Zheng thought he had suffered no loss.

However, Ying Zheng helped Fusu get rid of the burden of the military merit system, but how to build the future Qin Empire?
It has been almost half a year since Ying Zheng abdicated.

During the past six months, he had not heard any rumors in this palace.

The fact that there was no news showed that Fusu managed and controlled everything very well; it also showed that under Fusu's leadership, the Qin Empire had completely put an end to the military merit system and ended that crazy era.

The Pandora's box opened by Qin Xiaogong and Shang Jun was closed only when it came to Fusu.

He changed two people to serve him, which shows that Fusu completely controlled his subjects. Fusu was not stupid, and he would not trust a person unconditionally just because he was honest and loyal.

To be an emperor, one must be ruthless and unrighteous, and always analyze things from the perspective of their pros and cons.

Fusu did it.

When it comes to people, you have to throw them away after you have used them. It is better to let the other person hate you than to give him the opportunity to come back and hurt you one day. Being an emperor is not something that a good man or a good woman can do.

You must have a heart like a bodhisattva and methods as swift as thunder.

However, looking at everything happening around him, figuring out what Fusu had done and what the current situation of the Qin Dynasty was like, was too painful for Ying Zheng.

He was unable to review the memorials in person, and he didn't know whether the Nanyue he was concerned about had been conquered, or what about the Lingqu Canal, the Chidao Road, and the Great Wall.

His most beloved son ended his political ideals.

This is simply the greatest punishment from God for him.

Ying Zheng thought angrily and unwillingly that he was the first emperor, how could he be like those ordinary old people who were willing to retire early when they were old.

Qin Shihuang was walking around in the corridor of Yuzhen Palace, wondering if it was possible for him to make a comeback.
When this thought popped up, Ying Zheng felt that he was really ridiculous.

If he did that, he wouldn't be a human being.

Caught in a dilemma, with his thoughts in a mess, Ying Zheng couldn't suppress the burning desire deep in his heart, but the woman would hinder his cultivation of immortality, and cultivating immortality would require him to give up everything else.

Ying Zheng was very distressed and he had to go out for a walk.

Late at night, Qin Shi Huang, a man whose name was as recognizable to the people of the six countries as the roar of a tiger in the mountains, was walking back and forth in the corridor alone.

The veil fluttered in all directions, and under the starry sky, a figure in white slowly moved around the mountain corridor.

The guards held torches high and stood quietly on both sides. The firelight illuminated everyone's face clearly, but their bodies were buried in shadows.

Ying Zheng didn't like to see the expressions of these guards, he didn't want to look.

Once upon a time, he was so mighty and glorious, but now, the situation has changed!

Ying Zheng naturally didn't bother to pay attention to them and didn't want to look at them.

But they all opened their eyes wide, their bodies straightened and trembled, and then looked at the god-like man walking back and forth in the corridor with a gloomy face.

His back looks very lonely, but very tall.

His expression was very sad, yet extremely majestic.

No one has ever accomplished such a great thing, ending five hundred years of war and turning the divided world into a complete country again.

Let everyone be in awe, let everyone kneel at his feet and call him Your Majesty.

Even though he had become a prisoner, no one dared to do anything wrong to him.

With his mortal body, he created the greatest myth in Chinese history - unifying the Dongsheng Shenzhou!
He used his own flesh and blood to tell those brainwashed people in the world that gods do exist in this world!
It's people like him!
The one who created a whole new era!
Ji Xin, this brave general, never expected that the first mission he would receive in his life would be to guard Qin Shi Huang.

According to legend, he is the Ancestral Dragon.

Ji Xin originally thought that this was just a legend.

It was not until he met Qin Shi Huang in person that he felt his powerful aura was so intimidating that people were afraid to approach him easily.

Incredibly, he was a prisoner.

A prisoner actually has the aura of a god descending from heaven.

It makes people feel terrifying, respectable and awe-inspiring.

The first time Ji Xin saw Qin Shi Huang, she was infected by his unique aura, and from then on she developed a deep awe and admiration for him.

This man, who made the two brothers Feng Quji and Meng Tian and Meng Yi serve him wholeheartedly, has such charm.

Let everyone be willing to call him emperor.

Ji Xin didn't dare to ask more questions and just followed silently.

At first, he thought his mission in Yuzhen Palace was to protect an old man.

But when he saw the old man's appearance, Ji Xin realized that he was too reckless.

Qin Shihuang had only lived in the Yuzhen Palace for half a year when he began to become depressed.

In the past, Qin Shihuang was so free and easy. He could go wherever he wanted.

There was one time when I was caught while traveling incognito, and that was because I encountered thieves.

Because he had a conflict with his ministers, he was shameless enough to ride a horse and personally go to Wang Jian's hometown, Pinyang Township, to ask the old man to come back.

After he became the First Emperor, he stopped pretending.

Travel around the world every day.

A true dragon roams all over the world.

How could I be willing to be trapped in a small place?

Ying Zheng lost his queen and the throne of emperor, and now all that is left is to cultivate immortality.

As a result, after all the conditions for cultivating immortality were met, the great Qin Shi Huang no longer wanted to cultivate immortality.

Now he regrets it and wants to repent and be a good person.

But there is no chance anymore.

He looked at Ji Xin who was taking care of him. He was just a cub who could only be commanded on the battlefield but was not capable of any major use at all.

To be honest, when Fusu returned to the palace late, Ying Zheng had already realized and regretted his decision to practice Taoism.

Although Ying Zheng had a strong desire to become an immortal, he was not stupid enough to do that.

He soon realized what he had done wrong that caused the estrangement between the emperor and his subjects.

During the half year he lived in Yuzhen Palace, Ying Zheng spent most of his time deceiving himself and pretending to cultivate immortality; the rest of the time was spent in regret.

If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen to Ying Zheng as well.

How could a man like him be imprisoned obediently?

After losing his appetite for several months, wandering in the corridors at night, crying loudly in the direction of the queen from time to time, and crying in front of the ancestral temple for no reason, Qin Shihuang fell ill.

There was a long queue of doctors who came to see the patient in Yuzhen Palace.

This matter was still reported to the city of Xianyang and was discussed by the people.

The old emperor is always the subject of heated discussion because everyone has a great liking for Qin Shi Huang. No matter what he said or what he did, the people liked him very much.

This kind of liking can be understood as liking the boy next door.

After all, he was the First Emperor. He had a headache or fever before, which caused unrest in the entire Xianyang Palace.

After being moved out of the Xianyang Palace and losing his power, without the powerful vassals he had in the past, such as Li Si, Zhao Gao, Yao Jia and other ministers, Ying Zheng became a taboo subject for discussion among the ministers. The scene of Ying Zheng being surrounded by people in the past was no longer seen, and the ministers did not visit him when he was sick.

"I have summoned thirteen doctors, who prescribed various medicines for the emperor, but they could not cure him. Finally, I invited an expert on Yijing, and then I told your majesty that I would tell you."
