Chapter 773 Obsession
Feng Quji understood the Second Emperor's thoughts clearly.

But he was too lazy to intervene anymore.

Even if we take a step back, no one would go to such great lengths to cultivate immortality and let everyone in the world know about it. Unless that person has an ocean in his head.

Feng Quji was really helpless.

On the way home, Feng Quji thought about every little thing about his past with Ying Zheng. He thought about how arrogant Ying Zheng used to be and how he called himself the Ancestral Dragon. But then he turned around and started practicing Taoism.

This made the court officials at that time couldn't help but think of a famous quote written by Han Fei.

Use his spear to attack his shield.

Since I am already a god, why should I practice cultivation?

Thinking of this, Feng Quji couldn't help but chuckle.

Sometimes you have to admit that the second generation's strange quotes and cutting-edge satire are just right.

Negative example.

The emperor is really like this now, he is teaching the world a lesson. No matter who you are, as long as you are arrogant, you will become stupid and ridiculous.

Wang Wan and Wei Liao were chatting and laughing as they strolled around the palace together.

Wang Wan was actually also well versed in the principles of Yi. In the past, there were many loyal and treacherous people in the court. It was not easy for Wang Wan to get too close to Wei Liao, who always liked to be unique.

Moreover, Wei Liao was only an acquaintance with him in the past, but now with the changes in the situation, they have become the core leaders of the first power echelon in the early stage of the reform of the Qin Empire.

Wang Wan couldn't help but want to ask Wei Liao for advice on something.

"My master once taught me that the essence of the Book of Changes is in the hexagrams. If a person can do things according to the teachings of the Book of Changes throughout his life, he would not have to think about how to be a human being."

"Then his life will be smooth sailing, and no unprovoked disasters will befall him. So when I was young, I wanted to study, but my master didn't allow me to, and I had limited talent. I only learned the classics, but not numerology and magic."

"I have occasionally heard of the Qi Men Dun Jia, and have also met some experts. Their predictions are indeed as you said, some are accurate, some are inaccurate, and the degree of refinement of the prediction technique is indeed completely consistent with the quality of the person."

"It's just that I'm ignorant and have only heard people say there is a set of strange magic in the world, but I don't know if it's true."

In fact, Wang Wan also remembered that there were rumors that the First Emperor wanted to force Wei Liao to perform magic to extend his life.

Because the First Emperor summoned other fortune tellers who had predicted the length of his life, he was very angry and became crazy about practicing Taoism.

Wei Liao laughed and said, "Your teacher is a true wise man."

"So you are safe until now. But it's different for me."

"Once you master the art of divination, people will be targeting you. If you are accurate, you will be targeted; if you are inaccurate, you will be hated."

"Once you master magic, someone will target your magic. He will try every possible means to force you to serve him. Unless you die."

When Wang Wan heard this, his hair stood on end.

He bowed his hands repeatedly, "I understand, I understand. I was a bit abrupt. It seems that strange magic does exist."

Wei Liao smiled but did not answer.

Wang Wan was quite sensible and knew when to stop.

The two stopped talking about this matter.

It is probably difficult for future generations to imagine that the beginning of the Qin Empire in this time and space was discussed and laid by the time traveler Fusu and these three old men.

Feng Quji, a sophisticated egoistic realist; Wang Wan, who insisted on implementing the spirit of the Book of Changes; Wei Liao, who mastered supernatural powers but always seemed mysterious but was unwilling to say a word to others, who looked ridiculous to outsiders and had a confusing history.

It was these three people who carried the sedan chair for Fusu and walked out step by step from the muddy land with difficulty, opening up a new path for the Qin technological empire and turning the tide from the deadlock.
-
The problem of Qin Shihuang's cultivation of immortality finally has a solution.

Qin Shihuang cultivated immortality, while Qin Ershi pursued his own career.

This was also an ending that Fusu had never thought of. Although Fusu had fantasized countless times in the past about the scene of himself ascending the throne in the future, he had also thought that if a father like Qin Shihuang was not removed, it would ultimately be a problem.

Fusu had imagined the worst possible scenario, even that Ying Zheng would disobey his arrangements and was determined to go against him. Fusu had also anticipated such a scene and outcome.

However, when it really happened, things became more difficult than Fusu had imagined.

Because the conflict between Ying Zheng and him was not just a matter between father and son, it involved too many people.

So when they saw that Ying Zheng still caused such a big stir after practicing in Yuzhen Palace for a year, the subjects were talking about it hotly and could not stop.

Fusu was already planning to completely imprison Qin Shihuang and not let him make any sound.

After all, I was too soft-hearted the last time Ying Zheng fell ill. If I had not been soft-hearted and written articles for him, this kind of bad thing would not have happened today.

However, Fusu had nothing to regret about this matter.

But in the Xianyang Palace, there is always one problem after another.

"Your Majesty, Madam Leshui requests an audience."

"Who?" Fusu is now very busy with affairs of state, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he has forgotten the person who can be considered his aunt.

"The wife of the Emperor. The biological mother of the Second Young Master."

After being reminded by the envoy, Fusu finally remembered her.

"What is she here for?"

"It must be because of the matter of the Emperor."

After hearing Chen Gong's reminder, Fusu naturally perked up again.

The one who comes is not kind.

Let’s stop talking nonsense.

Lady Leshui did not come to care for Fusu, but to discuss a matter of great importance with Fusu.

"You want to enter Yuzhen Palace to serve the Emperor?"

Fusu hadn't seen Lady Leshui for a long time.

As soon as Fusu saw Lady Leshui, he thought of his deceased mother.

She looked so young, but she left so hastily, so suddenly, and so decisively, without even saying any last words to him alone.

After meeting Lady Leshui, Fusu was obviously distracted several times.

Anyone would feel sad to see that Lady Leshui, who was older than his mother but married into Qin with his mother from Chu, was alive and well, while his mother had been sleeping on the ground for a year.

Lady Leshui also knew what Fusu was thinking and just tried to comfort him with kindness.

Fusu also gave Lady Leshui the respect she deserved.

"Your Majesty, please agree. The Emperor is old, and I have been asked by the late Empress Dowager to take care of him."

Fusu naturally disagreed.

Fusu quickly came out of his grief and analyzed the pros and cons of the matter.

Lady Leshui is the biological mother of the second prince. With Ying Zheng's personality and vitality, if he wants to use Lady Leshui and Jianglu to ascend to the throne, it will not be easy to do.

Naturally, Fusu looked embarrassed.

Madam Leshui didn't think too much about it. She just heard that the Emperor was very filial, and she just didn't want to live in the palace all the time. In the past, the late empress dowager was with the retired emperor, and no one could get into the retired emperor's heart.

Things are different now, she wants to take this opportunity to give it a try.

Chen Ping didn't care about Madam Leshui's purpose. He only knew one thing: once Madam Leshui entered the palace to accompany the retired emperor, Prince Jianglu would become a threat to His Majesty in the future.

Your Majesty has not been on the throne for long.

"Your Majesty, the Chief Justice wants to see you and has been waiting outside for a long time." Chen Ping reminded at the right time.

Madam Leshui stood up immediately after hearing this. "Your Majesty has state affairs to attend to. Why did you summon me? If I had known this, I would not have said so much nonsense here."

Mrs. Leshui is quite sensible.

Although she wanted to make up for her old dream, she was still clear about the right and wrong.

But unfortunately, Fusu still sent her away. "Madam, please come back another day."

Mrs. Leshui left with a smile.

On the way back to the palace, I passed by the empty Jiaolan Palace.

Madam Leshui couldn't help but sigh that life is so unpredictable.

Suddenly she realized that the young and handsome courtier was just a cover for the Second Emperor. In fact, the Second Emperor was not willing to enter the palace himself.

Tears suddenly flashed in Mrs. Leshui's eyes.

Yeah, what was she thinking.

She actually wanted to replace the current Majesty's biological mother's position in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor.

In fact, she has enjoyed things that most women in this world cannot enjoy.

I heard from the palace servants that one of her clothes was worth more than a family of five could earn in their entire lives.

What's more, she has a healthy and strong son. If she continues to expect to be loved by the First Emperor, then this world would be too unfair to the common people.

just forget it.
