My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 809: Rebellion, Rebellion, All Rebellion
In Changle Palace, in the Queen's bedroom, bursts of roars were heard from inside.

"what!--"

"Zhang Cang rebelled."

"Xiao He rebelled."

"What's the point of being the emperor?!"

"No one takes me seriously."

The emperor of the Qin Empire was now furious in the queen's bedroom.

The wind-patterned lacquer table in the Queen's palace was kicked over by the Emperor, and the tea sets were scattered all over the ground.

The maids and eunuchs in the palace all looked down at the ground.

But the queen remained calm.

She changed into a white dress and knelt quietly on her seat.

Watching the emperor walking around the hall angrily, like a wild boar charging through a fence, the emperor seemed like he was about to explode at any moment.

But there was no ripple in her heart, she just felt sorry for her lacquer table.

The picture on it is a phoenix.

His Majesty the Emperor actually came here to act wildly.

In the past, the Qin Empire belonged to Qin Shi Huang and the late Queen Mother; but now, the Qin Empire belongs to Qin Er Shi and her.

She and the emperor each share half of the Qin Empire.

Things in this world, especially things about people, are very wonderful.

About twenty years ago, there was a woman in the palace who was competing for power with Qin Shihuang, trying to maintain her supreme status and bring benefits to her brothers and sisters who came with her as a dowry.

But he failed.

And twenty years later, another woman came to the palace.

She did not fight or compete, but just quietly did her own job, but she achieved in the shortest time what the Queen Mother Huayang had tried to do in half her lifetime but failed.

She ruled half of the Qin Empire.

This is the Qin Dynasty, not the Qing Dynasty, and even less so the Song Dynasty.

The status of women at that time was not low in the world. In fact, because of the influence of women such as the Queen Dowager Xuan of Qin, the Queen Dowager Huayang, and the widow Ba Qing, women had a considerable status in politics.

By the way, in the early Han Dynasty, there were many powerful women. One of them was a woman from the Feng family. She was sent to foreign countries as a lady of imperial order to handle diplomatic affairs.

Every page of the early Han Dynasty is full of brilliance. All kinds of small characters, even women, have a place to display their talents.

This was exactly the atmosphere when the Qin Empire was first established.

Perhaps the Han people inherited the tough temperament of the men in Guanzhong, and the women's spirit of being as strong as men.

Who can tell?

Empress Feng looked at the emperor quietly and could see that his majesty was mentally unbalanced this time.

Empress Feng remembered that the last time the emperor came, he was still very confident and told her about the performance of the students in the Imperial College. He was very motivated.

But this time his arrival was out of character, as if the emperor had been stabbed in the back.

But the emperor obviously did not suffer any real losses, it was probably just a matter of face.

But if the opponent really dealt a serious blow to Qin II, according to the emperor's character, he would pretend that nothing had happened, secretly record in his mind in the Zhangtai Palace the people who hurt him, and then work hard to become stronger. When the people who hurt him were getting carried away or completely forgot about it, he would retaliate severely.

The queen just sat there quietly, and while smiling, she had already seen through the matter.

As long as it's not a big deal, she can get involved without worry.

"You all stand down."

The maids wanted to run away quickly to avoid being accidentally hurt by the emperor. The main reason was that this mild-tempered man suddenly got angry, which frightened and intimidated those who usually accompanied him more than those who usually had a bad temper.

People with bad tempers always vent their emotions anytime and anywhere and will not bear anything.

But the so-called good-tempered people, that is, the so-called honest people, are the scary ones. No matter what happens in daily life, they have to compromise and endure for some reason. After a long time, they keep it in their hearts. When the time comes, suddenly a small point ignites all the pent-up anger and gunpowder, and unpredictable things will happen.

Even honest people themselves can't control themselves.

Fusu belongs to the latter.

But the real ruthless people are all like Fusu. He always smiles.

He is nothing like the baboon of Qin Shi Huang, who became complacent in his later years and didn't care about other people's opinions at all. This made others see his character weaknesses and they quickly killed Qin Shi Huang.

The more people show their emotions on the surface, the faster they lose. Of course, there are also some people who are just pretending.

Fusu came to the Queen to vent his frustration at being criticized in the court today. He felt that only the Queen could understand him in this kind of situation.

Because no one knows herself better than the queen.

"I have done my utmost to Xiao He and Zhang Cang."

"I am the Son of Heaven, but I always give in again and again when facing these two people. Although I cannot compare myself to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, I think I have surpassed all the previous kings of Qin."

"I fully believe that there has never been a minister as generous to his ministers as I am in the past, and I am afraid there will be no ministers in the future. But even so, my ministers do not intend to be grateful for my behavior."

"Does that mean I will just let them go on like this forever?"

"Especially this Zhang Cang, who is always causing trouble for me!"

"Hasn't he previously complained about the fact that the Emperor Emeritus appointed Xiao He as the Minister of Justice? He believed that he had made greater contributions than Xiao He. This shows that he is not very satisfied with his current position."

"In this case, I have decided to abolish his position as Imperial Censor."

"And Xiao He... I will also depose him."

"I thought he was just a commoner. I took into consideration his sincerity and dedication to the people, so I went against all odds and brought him back to Xianyang from Pei County."

"But in the end, not only did he not appreciate my recommendation, but he also helped Zhang Cang to bully me. Isn't this clearly trying to make things difficult for me?"

Qin II sat down angrily.

The sun shone into the bedroom through the window. Gold and silver objects sparkled in the light. The young emperor and empress sat quietly at the same seat in the hall.

The queen looked at the emperor calmly.

"Your Majesty, are you treating your subjects with courtesy in order to gain them, or are you treating your subjects with courtesy just for the sake of treating your subjects with courtesy?"

"What kind of question is that, Queen? Of course, I am here for..."

The emperor looked at the closed door and couldn't help but smile silently.

"It's easier to talk behind closed doors."

Fusu thought that he did not use these two people simply because he admired them, but because he needed to use these two people to achieve his own goals.

It was only when Qin Ershi met the Queen that he faced his true self.

Only then did Qin II calm down and look around.

The queen stood up and poured a cup of ginseng tea on the tea table below. "Your Majesty, anger hurts your liver. You should take care of your health. You are the emperor, why do you care about your subjects?" "Your Majesty, didn't you once say that the relationship between you and your subjects is like that between a father and a son?"

Fusu was drinking tea, and when he heard this, the tea in his cup almost spilled out.

"When did I tell you such a metaphor?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you told me before that Zhang Cang is just a sixth son in your mind. You also said that although those generals are all very powerful, they are actually all your sons..."

After hearing this, Qin II couldn't help laughing, and he couldn't help patting the queen on the shoulder.

"Queen, you are such a living treasure."

Feng Wanwan was puzzled, "What do you mean by a living treasure?"

"It means that I am praising you as the most precious treasure in the world."

When Feng Wanwan heard this, she couldn't help but blush.

She continued to speak slowly, "When I was young and at home, I often saw my brothers talking back to my father. Every time this happened, my mother would always come out and comfort my father."

"My mother said that when a son talks back to his father, it's often a sign that the son has matured and grown up. It means that the son is beginning to grow stronger."

"Only when the son becomes powerful will he dare to express his dissatisfaction to his father, and even make his father make certain compromises."

"When the son was incapable, he always behaved well and obeyed his father's orders."

"So in my opinion, this is a good thing."

When Qin II heard the Queen's words, he understood something.

"You mean to say that Zhang Cang and Xiao He are already strong enough."

"Isn't this exactly what Your Majesty wants to see? If these two people have no status in the court and no officials behind them to support them, how dare they openly anger Your Majesty?"

Fusu thought about it and said, "What the queen said does make sense."

"However, I planted trees to provide me with shade and to build my house. Now that the trees have grown up, they want to take away my sunshine and try to force me with the force of the trees falling down."

"Since I was born, I have never been insulted like this."

"Zhang Cang is a turtle born in the yellow earth. Does he understand what innovation and ecology mean? He will always be a person who does whatever I tell him to do."

"People like him can only follow others and do things all their lives. What opinions do they have?"

"How dare you be so arrogant as to criticize a child of destiny like me."

Qin II was still full of anger.

"I must strip these two men of their official positions and let all my subjects see for themselves that I am not stupid."

"If I were to show leniency to Zhang Cang and Xiao He, I would be truly foolish."

Whenever Qin II thought of the scene in the court today, it was as if the great humiliation was happening again.

What made Qin II most angry was that the ministers whom he had promoted, treated well and cultivated were actually openly causing trouble for him in the court and making him lose face.

Being an emperor has become like this, it’s really not worth it!
Empress Feng saw that the emperor was still angry, so she touched the emperor's hand and asked patiently, "Your Majesty has not told me yet, why is your majesty angry? What did Zhang Cang and Xiao He do?"

When the Queen asked this question, Fusu recalled what happened in the court today.

“嗐!”

"Let's not talk about it!"

Qin II was really angry this time. Zhang Cang criticized him for being too arrogant and out of touch with reality in his great ideas.

Xiao He helped the minister Zhang Cang who argued with him every day. In order to exonerate him, he even secretly mocked that he was also cultivating private power and said that the obedience of a thousand people is not as good as the dissent of one person.

It's complete bullshit!

Qin II was so angry that he took Guan Fu with him and went to Linyuan again.

At this time, an hour had passed since Qin II abandoned his court officials.

The ministers in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone was sighing, they didn't understand what was going on today.

Before Zhou Qingchen left, he mocked Zhang Cang again.

"Look, look, I told you that you are always making trouble and making the court a mess. You, Zhang Cang, must be feeling uncomfortable."

"We can be said to have entered the court at the same time. His Majesty has treated you well and has used various means to save you from danger many times. But you insist on making His Majesty unhappy."

"You still say you have no ill intentions."

Zhang Cang's face darkened. "What's wrong with me making a remonstrance?"

"When you make a petition, don't you consider the date?"

"Why pick a day to make a remonstrance?" Zhang Cang pointed at Zhou Qingchen's nose and scolded him, "It is because all the officials in the court think like you that His Majesty has been spoiled."

"Does it really require a specific date and time to submit a petition?"

"If all the officials in the court were like you, only concerned with observing people's words and expressions every day, then when would be the right time to make a suggestion?"

"When His Majesty is happy, I am afraid that my rash remonstrance will upset His Majesty; when His Majesty is unhappy, I am afraid that my remonstrance will anger His Majesty. I am afraid of this and that, so I might as well not be the Imperial Censor."

"The Censorate has become a mess because of scum like you joining it."

The more Zhou Qingchen listened, the angrier he became, and his hair stood on end.

"What did you say?"

"I say, you running dog, as the Imperial Censor, you don't fulfill your duties, you only think about complying with His Majesty's wishes and currying favor with him, you don't put the country first, all you think about is your own petty gains."

“It’s just shameful!”

Zhou Qingchen was furious, "You... you dare to scold me?"

"What's wrong with scolding you? Should I hit you?"

"What? You dare to hit me?" Zhou Qingchen's eyes almost popped out, "I'm the Imperial Censor."

"What's wrong with the Imperial Censor? I dare to speak out against His Majesty, let alone a villain like you."

Other ministers from the Censorate also began to join the quarrel one by one.

"You, Zhou Qingchen, usually use some unpresentable means to win over this person or that person."

"You have ruined the reputation of the Censorate."

"You want to turn the Censorate into a back garden for the rich and powerful. Do you think we don't know?"

Zhou Qingchen stepped back in fear. At this time, his vassal pushed him to his feet again, "What nonsense!"

"Nonsense!"

"You are spreading rumors and slandering others."
