My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 831 The Princess is a Good Wife
"Your Majesty has been in a bad mood these days. It seems to be because of the issue of succession of Prince Liang."

Qin II wrote a poem for the empress, which made the young women in the palace envious in words but jealous in their hearts.

Lu Zhi cried and begged the emperor to return power.

The palace was still so lively, but it was a pity that the liveliness belonged to others. Xiong Rou was not someone who would sit and wait for death in the palace.

She wanted to come to Zhangtai Palace to visit the emperor and comfort the busy Qin II.

The Emperor and Mrs. Bear have their own little interest.

This is the reason why Mrs. Bear has remained in favor for many years and has not been disliked because of her somewhat aggressive personality.

Unfortunately, when I was almost at the palace gate, I heard about this incident.

"Isn't the crown prince of King Liang that Wang Li? He is a well-known little tyrant in Xianyang City. After Marquis Wucheng died, the title was passed to him."

"Isn't this a well-known fact? Why is Your Majesty still worried about it?"

The usher shook his head, "Madam, you can't ask about this."

"Can't even tell me?"

"Aunt, Minister Chen was sent back home recently just because he didn't keep his mouth shut." The envoy's brows knitted together.

After hearing this, Xiong Rou's bright and cunning eyes immediately flashed with shrewdness.

"I wonder why I haven't seen this guy for a long time. Chen Ping is really unwilling to be lonely. He can't help but be unwilling to be the emperor's favorite minister."

"He must have been involved in the affairs of the King of Liang. This kid is still young after all, and he doesn't know how deep the waters of the court are. He is busy currying favor with my father, the King of Jin, and is running to surround the King of Liang. He is really bored."

Xiong Rou glanced at the maid behind her.

The maid's narrow eyes flashed quickly, and when she turned the corner, two gold cakes dropped from her sleeves.

Gold cakes were a very popular reward when the last emperor was alive.

This thing has not been seen in the palace for a long time since the new emperor Qin II ascended the throne.

The bottom line is that after Lu Zhi took charge of the harem, basically no one dared to bribe.

Because she, as the person who distributed rewards and salaries, took the lead in refusing to accept bribes, it was difficult for the female officials, the head of the imperial guards, and the people in charge of the kitchen to take money. After the female officials, the people in charge, and the eunuchs could not take money, the palace maids and eunuchs under her naturally did not have much money to take.

However, Lu Zhi was still very good to them. When the rewards from the emperor and empress were distributed, they were distributed fairly to everyone.

Her reputation gradually grew in the palace. Poor Xiong Rou had such abilities but had no place to display them, which made her very depressed.

The usher on duty saw the money at first but didn't dare to take it.

But Xiong Rou couldn't resist and took off her gold bracelet from her arm and stuffed it into the mouth of the audience. He looked at the gold and finally gave in.

"Madam, you are forgetful. The King of Liang has only one legitimate son. Princess Yin Man gave birth to another legitimate son for the King of Liang. And your Majesty issued the Enfeoffment Order. Although everyone has the opportunity to inherit the fiefdom, one is a king and the other is a marquis."

"I don't understand either. Anyway, after your Majesty talked about this matter with the people you favored, they all became disgusted with your Majesty."

Xiong Rou listened, her eyes rolling around.

In this era when women's participation in politics is not taboo, female aristocrats have a broad space to develop.

Xiong Rou quickly figured out the fundamental reason behind this.

They were fundamentally opposed to the Enfeoffment Order.

After all, if one can be a prince and occupy a country by himself, why should he share it with his brothers?

These two forces were not fighting for who would be the future crown prince, but wanted to control the State of Liang.

When she was almost at the palace gate, Xiong Rou returned to her palace and changed into a plain white dress.

This made the palace guards dazzled.

Xiong Rou is an aristocratic girl born from several generations of marriage between the royal families of Qin and Chu, and her appearance is one of the best.

In addition, since there were no Three Obediences and Four Virtues in this era, there were relatively few restrictions on women's service.

She was wearing a white women's Warring States robe, which was not only elegant and graceful, but also had a bit of masculine heroism.

However, when Xiong Rou came over this time, someone had already gotten there.

"Madam, you have to wait outside. His Majesty is meeting with King Liang to discuss important matters."

Xiong Rou straightened her chest, smiled and agreed, "I understand."

When the emperor was meeting a distinguished guest, he needed help, so he invited Xiong Rou to stay in the private room and the usher left.

Xiong Rou immediately stood up from her seat and leaned against the wall to listen to what the Emperor and Prince Liang were saying.

"Is it okay in Liang State?"

"All the people praise your majesty's benevolence and are proud to be Qin people." Wang Ben said honestly.

"I haven't seen you, King Liang, for just over a year. I didn't expect you to look so haggard."

Wang Ben aged too quickly, as if he was cursed by the god of fate.

"Well - all men who have been to the battlefield are like this. When they are young, they expend too much energy and don't know how to save it. When they get older, it's natural for them to become like this."

When Wang Ben was young, he was a well-known strong man who could eat three bowls of dumpling soup in one meal.

I didn't expect that a man in his early forties would have so many white hairs, and his eyes were sunken, with a faint black aura around his eyes.

It seems that he indulged himself a lot after the war.

Qin II gave Wang Ben a seat and some wine, and the two drank together, but Wang Ben was not restrained.

To be honest, he still missed the days of fighting. There was no need to think too much, during the war, they shared the same hatred and worked together.

But after the war, the brothers changed one by one and began to scheme against each other. Their colleagues fought against each other, their sons fought against each other, their wives and concubines fought against each other, and even their non-commissioned officers fought against each other.

King Liang felt very bitter.

But he couldn't say it to Qin II.

Wine dripped from the table. The maids kept replacing the wine from the wine vessels, heating it up and pouring it into wine cups. The sound of clinking glasses could be heard in the hall.

Faintly, I seemed to hear a sighing sound.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Qin II took the initiative to ask.

Wang Ben learned that Qin II had sent Chen Ping back home.

Chen Ping took a risk to help his former idol, and told Wang Ben immediately after his failure.

Although Wang Ben didn't know why this young man with a bright future was so nice to him, he trusted his information very much.

Wang Ben looked at Qin II, and his throat seemed to be tightly squeezed by a big hand. He choked and almost cried, but unfortunately he didn't say a word.

"You all stand down."

Qin II shook his sleeves.

Xiong Rou waited in the cubicle for a long time without hearing anything, and then she heard someone asking everyone else to leave.

The matter of the Enfeoffment Order does not only concern King Liang.

If there are problems in the implementation of the policy of enfeoffment in Liang, I cannot believe what other vassal states will do.

Xiong Rou looked at the fruit plate, planning something.

Inside the hall, Wang Ben waited until everyone else left, then stood up and walked to the side of Qin II, crying bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the difficulty of being a king is beyond my expectation."

Fusu couldn't bear to watch. The man who was once a powerful figure on the battlefield actually behaved like this in front of others.

Wang Ben sobbed, then spread out his hands and said, "Your Majesty, your palms and backs are all made of flesh. How can a minister make this decision alone?" "I have failed your Majesty's trust. I cannot continue to serve as the King of Liang for another day."

Xiong Rou was listening in the next room, and a nameless fire suddenly rose up in her chest.

"What, he actually said that?"

"He doesn't care about that feeling, so let me be the prince."

If she hadn't been sane, Xiong Rou would have really wanted to run and exchange with King Liang.

Anyway, she knew that Qin II had always treated her as a brother, which made Xiong Rou, who had always wanted to marry him, feel that something was wrong.

Inside the palace, Prince Liang was still hesitant, as if he would not survive.

"Your Majesty, please give me some advice."

"I really don't know what to do."

King Liang believed that the emperor definitely knew about his affairs, so he simply gave up.

He really couldn't handle it, let alone handle it well.

"I am worried that by this time next year, I will not be able to come to see Your Majesty."

"Get up first." Qin II said expressionlessly. "Wang Li, Marquis of Wucheng, is General Wang's favorite grandson. Let him succeed to the throne."

Wang Ben was very surprised when he heard this, "But he has no talent for governing a country."

Qin II looked at Wang Ben, who actually knew his son very well.

"What do you want?"

"I have no idea what to do."

Qin II was annoyed. "You have no idea what to do, so you let me give you some advice. I gave you some advice, but you didn't listen to me."

Wang Ben sat up and said, "I have disappointed your majesty."

The Second World did not speak.

Wang Ben was silent for a while, then took the initiative to say, "I am worried about the princess..."

"Princess Yin Man, she is the eldest princess of the Qin Dynasty. If the eldest princess takes the lead in breaking the rules, then the world of the Qin Dynasty will be in chaos."

"As a princess, how can she interfere with the laws of monarchical succession?"

After hearing what the emperor said, Wang Ben felt relieved and admired.

"Enfeoffment and enfeoffment are both national systems. Who wants to disobey the orders I personally issued?"

"The princess's son is the second son and can only inherit the title of marquis in the future. This is stipulated by etiquette and law. I will not make changes for anyone."

Qin II showed his magnanimity and showed the greatest courtesy by not slamming the table in anger at Wang Ben.

Wang Ben heard it clearly, but he still frowned, "Your Majesty, within this family, a fire can break out if you are not careful."

Wang Ben also knew what to do.

But first, he hurt the princess and offended Qin II and Qin Shi Huang. After all, she was his old boss's biological daughter, and they had been married for several years and still had feelings for each other.

Secondly, Wang Ben was very calm after the enfeoffment. But his son and the princess were different. To be honest, their ideas were very dangerous, and they all wanted to become the overlord of one side.

The old era has passed, but unfortunately there are still many people immersed in old dreams.

The stupid one was not Wang Ben, but the princess and Wang Li.

Wang Ben's words were very obscure.

"I am in the distant Liang State, and Your Majesty is in Xianyang. Even if I bring Your Majesty's orders back, my rebellious son may not obey."

“I’m afraid it’s…” Wang Ben hesitated.

Fusu asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"Once you fall asleep, some people may never wake up again."

Wang Ben started crying again...

Qin II couldn't stand Wang Ben's crying and felt disgusted. However, he could feel that Wang Ben seemed to be afraid of the princess who was not mentioned.

"Is the princess not good to you?" Qin II asked proactively.

Wang Ben waved his hands repeatedly, "Absolutely not. The princess is a good wife."

His own son and his stepfather were fighting each other and were always thinking of sending him to the west. This made it difficult for Wang Ben, who always valued family affection and cherished the lives of his subordinates, to face this.

The cruelty and stubbornness of his son and the cold-bloodedness and viciousness of his wife almost suffocated him, a young, vigorous, loyal and patriotic man.

But all this happened after the enfeoffment. Power has the ability to alienate a person.

Wang Ben didn't dare to mention the princess at all, for he was afraid that the princess would drug him directly when he returned.

Wang Ben was trembling with fear.

Qin II was amused.

"King Liang, King Liang, I never thought that you would be able to remain calm and not show any fear in the face of the powerful Chu army on the battlefield."

"Thousands of troops were charging at you, but you didn't even blink an eye on the battlefield."

"But why do you become so helpless when it comes to household chores?"

Wang Ben listened and shook his head helplessly, "I am only a general, not that kind of person."

When facing Qin II, Wang Ben always regarded himself as a subject and called himself a subject every time.

Perhaps in his heart, he believed that the relationship between himself and Qin II was a lifelong one.

Fusu was still considerate of his old subordinate. Seeing that his crying was fruitless, he said, "Madam Leshui said a few days ago that she missed the princess. It happened to be the annual sacrifice. I will issue an edict to allow the princess to return to Xianyang with her son."

"When the princess' son grows up, I will grant him a fiefdom and let him return to Liang to be granted a fiefdom."

"I don't believe that no matter how fiercely Wang Li and Yin Man quarrel, they will still insist on having their own way in front of me. Will they be satisfied only when things become a mess?"

After hearing the emperor's suggestion, Wang Li burst into tears of gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qin II sat lazily on the couch. Wang Ben performed the best among the princes and was considered the most loyal among the ministers who were enfeoffed. Although Fusu despised him outwardly, he still loved him in his heart.

Wang Ben was very happy that the emperor was personally working to help him.

He no longer had to face the princess.

However, one problem is solved before another one arises.

After Wang Ben left, Xiong Rou came in.

The young Qin II faced the deepest temptation and the greatest test.

Finally he surrendered decisively.

"I heard that father sent my eldest brother here, but he didn't come here himself. Is this true?"

Yes, Changping Jun did not come in person.

Xiong Qi was only ten years older than Ying Zheng. He was told that he could not come because of his age, but veterans who were twenty years older than Ying Zheng could come, but he did not come.

It can be seen that he doesn't take himself seriously.

When Fusu heard Xiong Rou ask such a question, he naturally didn't want to talk anymore.

Xiong Rou suddenly told Fusu, "I heard that the princes seem to be very dissatisfied with your majesty's decree of enfeoffment."
