My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 772: Bad News Spreads Far and Wide

Fusu seemed to be smiling, which made Feng Quji feel uneasy.

"Isn't that what Your Majesty is doing?"

"Prime Minister Feng, I am only saying that if the world is to truly become better in the future and get out of its filth, then the world of the future will definitely be like what I just described."

"In other words, the ultimate form of development is that everyone strives to improve themselves, love themselves and benefit others."

"Once things start to develop, there will inevitably be highs and lows. When things develop to the extreme, it will definitely be the situation I mentioned. That is when the world will be clear and bright."

"I am afraid that I will not see such a world in my lifetime. Whether it will be possible in the future depends on my descendants and the descendants of the ministers."

When Wang Wan heard what the Second Emperor said, he couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes.

Feng Quji was overjoyed, because it turned out to be a false alarm.

Wei Liao kept his mind blank. In fact, he had already made a calculation when Fusu just put forward his ideal of governing the country. He knew the outcome and the result of Fusu's reforms.

There was no expression on Wei Liao's face. He chose to stay with Fusu without retreating, silently supporting Qin II with his actions.

"Well, let the people discuss the matter of the First Emperor's cultivation of immortality. I have decided to use this opportunity to recruit talents who are truly proficient in numerology."

"I believe that if we let these people predict the well-being of the people of the world, the gods will definitely give the most accurate instructions."

"Compared to the demise of the Shang Dynasty, theocracy has completely declined, divination has been reduced to private use, and it has completely fallen from the altar. It is time to let these good things return to the eyes of the world in a way that everyone can accept and give back to the people."

When discussing Qin Shihuang's cultivation of immortals, an excellent method is derived, which is to openly include the knowledge of Xuanmen and Yixue in the system, control it by the state, and serve the people.

This is definitely the first major thing that Qin II has done since he ascended the throne that has made people all over the world bow down and admire him!

It also had a profound impact on the later generations of the Qin Empire.

It will even be of great benefit to the development of culture and education when the time is right.

It’s summer now, and there are gusts of hot wind outside the palace…

Feng Quji was already sweating profusely, but after returning to reality, the arguments just now dissipated like smoke.

Whether it was fear or anxiety, it all dissipated like smoke.

Everything that happened just now was so unreal.

Feng Quji was stunned by the tranquility of the moment.

"This matter is of great importance and must be handed over to the most professional people."

Wei Liao listened carefully and suddenly noticed that everyone was looking at him.

"I?"

"Your Majesty, you are not joking, are you?"

"I'm the national lieutenant."

Feng Quji has always disliked Wei Liao's behavior of relying on his magical powers to work for three days and rest for two days, and never going to work on time.

Liao always pushed things aside, and spent all day and night either eating, drinking, playing, or sleeping. When Meng Wu was still alive, he was at his most rampant. At that time, he often stayed in Meng's mansion, under the pretext of teaching the two sons of the Meng family, but in fact he didn't teach them much. He basically talked with Meng Wu, played chess and played the piano.

He simply came here to provoke everyone's envy, jealousy and hatred towards him.

Wei Liao is simply the most unique pearl in the Qin Empire.

How many people want to get his guidance but can't, how many people want to kill him but can't.

Qin Shi Huang loved him but couldn't get him, and couldn't bear to kill him. "Why, at this time, are you still going to refuse, Captain?"

Feng Quji opened fire at full force and questioned Liao aggressively.

Wang Wan also advised, "Since you have such talent, you are naturally the most suitable person to do this. As for me, to be honest, I would like to do this, but unfortunately I don't have the ability."

Unable to resist the prime minister who was playing the bad guy and the good guy, Liao still went to do the job.

Wei Liao finally took over the matter.

This was the first major thing Fusu did - to promote the study of Yijing and Chinese martial arts to serve the people and guide the people to restart their love for Chinese studies.

However, Qin Shihuang's journey to become an immortal was not over yet.

"Your Majesty, I have one thing that worries me. If the Emperor succeeds in cultivating immortality," Wang Wan said, blushing, "it would be a happy thing for everyone."

"I am afraid that the Emperor's cultivation will not only fail to achieve his goal, but will also waste people's money and energy in the process, causing countless resentments, and will also damage His Majesty's reputation."

Wei Liao couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this. He didn't expect that the First Emperor had such a deep relationship with these old ministers. Although no one said it, they still cared about their old relationship with Ying Zheng in their hearts.

Even Wang Wan, who was driven away by Ying Zheng himself, was worried about Ying Zheng's physical condition, let alone others?
Those generals who were promoted by Ying Zheng probably have deep feelings for him.

Wei Liao thought that if the Second Emperor wanted to implement benevolent policies, he would inevitably offend many old nobles; and the Emperor Retired was an uneasy person who was always causing trouble.

If the matter of the retired emperor's cultivation of immortality cannot be properly resolved, what may seem like a happy event worth taking advantage of may turn out to be exploited by others and become the death knell of the second emperor's reforms.

Feng Quji also seconded the proposal, "Yes. If the emperor fails in his cultivation, how will he explain to his subjects and the people?"

Fusu was very open-minded and he actually acted like he didn't care about this matter at all.

"Since cultivating immortals is not fake, let the emperor be the first to lead the new era of our time. If the emperor succeeds, let the people follow his example; if he fails, let him serve as a negative example."

"A negative example?" The three looked at each other.

"It's not only classics that can educate people. The failures of some famous people can also inspire the public. Father's reputation is known all over the world, and his every move is closely watched by the public."

"Even if the emperor wants to keep a low profile, there will be people who will find ways to find out and speculate about his daily life."

"It's better to make it public. If the emperor fails in his cultivation, at least the people should know that it is impossible to cultivate with just those messy things."

Feng Quji's nose widened. "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"I am the Son of Heaven. The Emperor's word is law."

Feng Quji's clasped hands trembled slightly, and he muttered, "What a negative example."

As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Fusu's words soon spread throughout Xianyang City.

The children in the streets and alleys of Xianyang City were clapping, singing and dancing, and making up nursery rhymes to sing about the negative example of Qin Shihuang's cultivation of immortality.

In fact, Fusu is not to blame for this.

The main reason was that Qin Shi Huang's reputation was already very bad, and as the current emperor, Fusu had no need to work hard to cleanse the old emperor's reputation.

Since his reputation is already ruined, he might as well let it continue to be ruined, or even get even more ruined.

Fusu had to make everyone in the world watch the joke of Qin Shihuang's cultivation of immortality so that he could achieve his two goals at the same time.

First, it weakened the influence of Qin Shihuang; second, it continued to promote metaphysics and national arts within the national system and institutions to benefit the people.
