My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 806 Technological Ecological City
Unfortunately, encounters are always short-lived and separation is the norm in life.

The Second Emperor was busy with official duties and could not stay here for long. He said a few words quickly and after meeting these disciples, his goal had been achieved.

But Fusu didn't expect that he would actually see his old friend's son here.

Fusu looked at Lin Yannian again and then walked out of the school.

So many disciples came to this one school. It was obvious that the emperor came for the disciples of the Wang and Feng families after looking at the list.

The school supervisor knew it very well, so he was trembling with fear when he came out and didn't dare to look the emperor in the eye.

He lowered his head and followed behind Qin II and Chen Ping, watching their shoes slide forward step by step under their robes, one white and one black. The back of the supervisor's neck was covered with sweat.

Suddenly, fog rose in the garden, and the golden apricot trees became eerie white in the mist.

Qin II was walking alone in front, looking worried.

Chen Ping was quickly considering the emperor's next schedule. He found that after being emperor for a year, the novelty of the emperor had worn off. The prime minister advised him not to be radical in his reforms, to proceed slowly and in an orderly manner, and not to make too many enemies.

The imperial court implemented a policy of governing by doing nothing. Without command from above, there was no movement below, and the atmosphere in the court seemed somewhat lifeless.

The emperor was tired of the days of handling official business and reviewing memorials in the palace every day.

This emperor who opposed Qin Shi Huang soon showed some similar traits to the first emperor after he ascended the throne - such as being unable to sit still and loving to wander around.

Chen Ping believed that Qin II could still endure for another year or two, but definitely not three years. Just look at his past experience. He would explode after enduring for a long time and would do something earth-shattering.

Following behind the team at this time were the Huben Guards, who stood guard in the palace every day, and of course more often stayed in a fixed courtyard on standby.

When the emperor was traveling, they were happier than the emperor himself because they could finally go out for a walk somewhere else.

When the soldiers arrived at the Imperial College, they could see a new landscape almost every time they entered or exited a gate.

The disciples were still in the classroom, looking out at the emperor's departing procession.

The team didn't stop there even after it spanned the entire corridor.

Guan Fu took dozens of soldiers to deal with the rear to prevent anyone from approaching the team at will.

He looked at Lin Yannian who was looking at him and said, "You kid, come out here."

Lin Yannian shook his head and pointed to his desk. "I still have to go to class."

Guan Fu was so angry that his teeth itched, but he had no choice but to leave, "I'll deal with you later."

All the students in the school looked at Lin Yannian. After Guan Fu left, all the students gathered around and asked, "Yannian, did we see it right? The Emperor seemed to know you. How come that Weiwei seemed to be very familiar with you?"

"Yannian, you hid it so well."

"..."

Lin Yannian smiled bitterly in his heart. He pondered over this name, Yannian... They didn't call him that in the past.

Forget it.

Lin Yannian sat quietly, answering all of his classmates' questions with "I don't know."

This made the students even more curious, and the lawyers' faces turned green after experiencing this.

How could they know that Lin Yannian had such a relationship? He actually knew the emperor. They had hardly ever met the emperor, let alone been able to talk to the Weiwei, and Lin Yannian actually dared to refuse the Weiwei.

It's a pity that the lawyers and historians couldn't figure out Lin Yannian's complicated feelings towards the emperor no matter how hard they tried.

The air was thick with fog. Lin Yannian looked at the lake in the distance. He had a hunch that the emperor would soon order an audience with him in person.

But how should he face Qin II? His father killed his own father, but he had to serve him and continue to be his subject.

Why……

In the corridor, Qin II walked and walked, and finally stopped.

He exhaled heavily.

Fusu felt even more guilty when he realized that Lin Xin's son had some resentment towards him.

He had to do something.

Not for myself, nor for that silly boy, but only for Lin Xin.

"Xuejian Zhao..."

Upon hearing this, the school supervisor quickly rolled in front of Fusu.

"His Majesty."

"How long have you been a proctor?"

The school supervisor was so frightened that his tongue was tied. "Your Majesty, it has been almost six months."

"When I established the Imperial College, I always focused on training classicists, cultivating the princes of the royal family, and developing various schools of thought."

"In fact, I have overlooked that the predecessor of the Imperial College was the Academy. The Academy has trained thousands of Qin officials and has made great contributions; but I have neglected the education of the Academy over the years."

"Guess what I saw today?"

The school supervisor first fell to the ground and kowtowed, shouting, "Your Majesty, it's unjust."

Then the school supervisor started to cry out loudly, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please punish me lightly."

The other party knelt down so quickly that Fusu even suspected that he had planned this act in advance.

"Do you know what the first decree I issued after I ascended the throne was?"

The school supervisor was trembling, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, his mind was still blank.

Chen Ping stood up and said, "Your Majesty, abolish the title of Qianshou and change it to common people."

The school supervisor slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, that's it. Look at my brain."

Fusu looked at the school supervisor. This time he was sure that the school supervisor did not take him, the emperor, seriously.

Everyone looked at the school supervisor indifferently. After all, such an important matter was probably known to even the country women living in Longxi, but he actually forgot it.

Everyone was silent, just looking at the supervisor quietly.

It is obvious that not only the disciples' backgrounds are problematic, but the background of the school supervisor is even more problematic.

It wasn't that Qin II was too lazy to investigate. He was just afraid that the investigation would lead to the discovery of the evidence in the hands of his important ministers.

"I hope that next year, the list of students in the school will be able to follow my original intention of changing the people into common people."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

The school supervisor was stunned at first, then he pondered for a long time. He realized that the emperor was angry because the list of disciples in the school exposed several major families in the court.

I think the emperor has just come to power and everything has not been settled yet. The most taboo thing should be the excessive power of the aristocratic families.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, next year's school supervisors will definitely include disciples from the Hundred Schools."

"At that time, I will personally submit the list to Your Majesty."

Qin II looked at the school supervisor and said, "Well said. If you can really do it, then the job of school supervisor will definitely be in your hands next year."

The Second Emperor merely said this in a very calm tone, as if it were cotton wool; the school supervisor also smiled along with the emperor at first, but as he walked, he suddenly came to his senses, and in an instant, it was as if a thousand-pound iron spike had smashed down on him, hitting him so hard that he could not even walk.

On the way to the bridge with the emperor, he fell down. The emperor and his ministers just looked at him quietly, no one laughed at him, and no one pulled him up.

In this atmosphere, the school supervisor confirmed through everyone's eyes that the thousand-jin iron spike was real.

If he doesn't do a good job next year, someone else will have to take the position of superintendent.

Chunyu Yue was also ashamed. He didn't expect that the talent recommended by his good friend Li Si's son Li You turned out to be such a "talent". He had a gloomy face all the way and didn't dare to speak.

Such an important educational institution, which specialized in training Qin officials, was actually so corrupt internally.

The bureaucrats who managed the many affairs of the Imperial Academy, such as the Chief Academic Officer, the Grand Supervisor, and the Academic Supervisor, were mostly famous scholars in the world.

This made the chief priest Chunyu Yue feel completely humiliated.

In the past, under the rule of Qin Shi Huang, they had never had the opportunity to display their talents, so they wrote many articles to express their views, simply saying that they felt their talents were not appreciated.

So when Qin II ascended the throne, he immediately gave these people the opportunity to become officials and let them prove themselves.

The result is what we see today.

So you're just talking empty words.

Although the Second Emperor did not say it explicitly, Chunyu Yue knew it very well in his heart.

The school supervisors were so frightened that they dared not even breathe a word.

After all, these people thought Fusu was easy to fool and took Qin II's kindness as the confidence to do whatever they wanted.

Governing the world with benevolence and righteousness, the second emperor of Qin pondered this sentence and found it more and more absurd and ridiculous.

However, the Second Emperor was also a man who had experienced many ups and downs. He knew everything very well. After understanding the level of each school supervisor, he still pretended nothing had happened and calmly toured every corner of the Imperial Academy.

During this period, I also wrote a lot of poems with great joy.

After Chunyu Yue and other school supervisors respectfully saw the emperor off from the Imperial College, they were all exhausted.

It’s over, now the emperor knows everything.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.

However, some good things happened when Fusu visited the Imperial Academy.

The Mo Pavilion was built, and the globe, Si Nan, magnifying glass, telescope, etc. had all been arranged to be put into large-scale production in the factory. Qin II was naturally happy.

In addition to this, there is the performance of the other princes. Ever since Fusu defeated Qin Shihuang, his image in the eyes of his many younger brothers has become increasingly tall.

At least Fusu proved that his political ability was stronger than that of Qin Shihuang.

Moreover, Qin II suddenly came to the Imperial Academy in person. These princes who usually rarely saw him in person had always suffered from the lack of opportunities to show themselves. Today, they had such an opportunity, and every brother stood up and talked about what he had learned.

After nearly five years of training, the results were better than Fusu had expected.

Their understanding of classics is basically inclined towards the doctrine of the mean.

The words he used were all appropriate, and he was able to explain difficult sentences clearly in his own words.

Among all the young masters, almost no one said anything unconventional. They all had a very decent personality and a peaceful mentality.

They were completely different from the princes of Gui Palace that Fusu knew when he was a child.

However, Qin II did not praise Chunyu Yue, Kong Yu and others for this.

Fusu hopes that they can always be under a certain amount of pressure and that things like the study room incident will not happen again.

It's ridiculous. In the first year of his reign, the Imperial Academy actually became a private school for aristocratic families. How could this be tolerated?

"absurd!"

"It's really ridiculous!"

After Qin II returned to the palace, he complained about this matter to Lu Zhi.

Behind the queen stood Feng, who was a woman who cared deeply about her natal family. It wasn't that she was bad, but her interests often did not align with Fusu's.

So Fusu could only come to Lu Zhi to complain, and only Lu Zhi could understand what made Fusu angry.

"But your Majesty was convinced by the way he dealt with those people, wasn't he?"

"Your Majesty handled this matter very well, and punished those school supervisors who accepted bribes from the noble families both openly and secretly."

"I think those noble families must have known the news by now."

"Your Majesty has given them a chance to mend their ways, and they will definitely stop. And Your Majesty has given the noble families enough face by not saying it explicitly."

"I believe that those disciples from the noble families will also admire your Majesty even more through this incident, and will be loyal to you in the future."

Fusu hugged Lu Zhi's face and smiled, "You, why didn't I realize you were so sweet before."

"It's not that I'm being sweet-talking, but Your Majesty deserves the title. If such a big matter were in someone else's hands, they would either leave it alone or kill a bunch of people. Not only would it not solve the problem, but it would only increase resentment."

Lu Zhi said it lightly.

Fusu knew who Lu Zhi was implying.

Lu Zhi was indeed very politically wise and had a thorough understanding of the shortcomings of Qin Shihuang's administration.

Qin II looked at Lü Zhi excitedly, and in a moment of joy he touched her belly and said, "If our child can inherit your wisdom, he will surely achieve great things in the future."

Looking at the young, handsome and elegant emperor, Lu Zhi took these words as true for a moment.

After all, women are such emotional creatures that their emotions will prevail over their reason most of the time.

From then on, Lu Zhi believed that the emperor had certain political expectations for his son.
-
Fusu found a different sense of belonging in Lu Zhi.

First, Lu Zhi was still a little girl at that time. She had never suffered any hardship. All she thought about was love and her mind was full of admiration for him.

Second, Lü Zhi had a certain political talent, which allowed Fusu to talk to her about state affairs without worrying about what she could do.

After all, Chen Ping was an outsider, and Lu Zhi was his woman.

After discovering that Lu Zhi was a treasure, Fusu went to see Lu Zhi more and more often, but he himself didn't realize it.

Life passed by uneventfully, and reforms were progressing step by step.

One day, at a court meeting, Fusu said to his ministers.

"There is only one papermaking workshop in Xianyang City, which is not very suitable."

Zhou Qingchen said, "Then we will build more workshops around Xianyang City and recruit more workers. Everything will be done according to your majesty's wishes."

The first sentence is nonsense, but the second sentence hits the point and can make Fusu happy for a long time.

The Second Emperor looked at Zhou Qingchen happily. It was obvious that Zhou Qingchen was still very useful to him.

"I want to build another city around Xianyang."

The ministers were in an uproar.

"I want to build a technological ecological city. I will implement the spirit of harmony between man and nature, combine nature and technology, and build an ecological city."

"All cities in the world in the future will be built according to the model of this city."
