My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 833 Husband Promotion
Most people like new and trendy things and are not willing to listen to the old stuff.

Especially young people have such a tradition in their bones. They are tired of tradition and resist rules. They challenge tradition and even rebel against tradition and fight against tradition.

When the young people grow old and become old people, they will establish traditions based on their own inherent experience. At that time, they will face new young people.

History often rolls back and forth between the challenges of young people and the suppression of the older generation, and eventually slowly pushes the big snowball forward.

However, Xiong An did not think so much. He was simply at a certain historical node. In this small space and time, he felt that the world was very depressing. No one was truly happy, and nothing was really worth celebrating.

Looking at our contemporaries, there are only a few heroes, and only a few of them can convince us and make us feel less lonely.

But strangely, only Qin II seemed worthy of following.

Even if he is the crown prince, he will naturally seek a sense of belonging. It is also miserable to have no one to talk to around you.

When the flowers fall, the breeze still has fragrance to echo with them. How much more so for the flowers that are in bloom.

Xiong Yi desperately wanted to overthrow that damn tradition and create a brand new world.

Seriously, this world is so fucked up.

He wanted to follow the ideals of Qin II and accomplish something great.

The Enfeoffment Order was a good conspiracy, but if the Enfeoffment Order was not implemented, there would be a war between the State of Jin and the State of Qin in the future.

The fundamental purpose of Qin II's implementation of the Enfeoffment Order was to repeatedly weaken the national strength of Jin State. He would not allow his father and uncle to expand the power of Jin State unscrupulously.

Basically, war in the future is inevitable.

However, the Crown Prince of Jin did not think so. Why? He had lived in Xianyang City for a long time and was more interested in the idea of ​​unifying the world.

The country has finally been unified, why should we let this unified China return to a state of fragmentation and let the people live in dire straits?

Is it worth it?

Then split again, unify again, and split again.

Why do this?

Prince Xiong An of Jin had his own political ideas.

Unfortunately, his uncle stood in his way.

After all, my father was the one who gave me life, and he was the King of Jin. I had no right to punish my father for his mistakes, but it was different for my uncle.

Prime Minister Xiong Yi was unwilling to come to Xianyang City again, nor did he want Xiong Qi to come to Xianyang again, so he pushed Xiong An out and asked him to represent the King of Jin to pay tribute to Qin II.

Before setting off, Xiong Yi was very stingy and was unwilling to pay more tribute to Qin II. He barely managed to get a few carts of silk and some bronze artifacts, and let Xiong An pull the cart to Xianyang.

Xiong An was naturally dissatisfied, so he openly spoke of the matter in the court.

"The reason why our Jin State is what it is today is because of the current Second Emperor's act of enfeoffment."

"Uncle is where he is today thanks to the grace of the current emperor."

"Uncle should offer rare and precious things as tribute, but now he has offered something that even the Qin ministers would not appreciate."

"What's more, now Qin is strong and Jin is weak. Qin's territory is ten times larger than Jin's. All the princes in the world are grateful to the Second Emperor for enfeoffment, and everyone left with full carriages."

"Only our Jin State uses three carts and five carriages to fill up with mere cloth, silk and bronze vessels. Isn't this deliberately stirring up trouble?"

In the court, Xiong Yi was so angry that his face turned green.

But there is nothing wrong with what his nephew said.

Xiong Qi just stroked his beard and looked at the audience. The ministers were divided. The crown prince was obviously close to the Qin court, while his younger brother Xiong Yi had always wanted to make Jin the only powerful state and seek hegemony.

Over time, these two people will naturally form a rivalry in the court.

It's a pity that the prince is too young. Moreover, this kid has always looked dead, and his temper is harder than a stone in the toilet. He is an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.

He was not close to his uncle, nor did he know how to make friends with the powerful, so naturally he did not have much power.

This resulted in the prime minister having too much power and the crown prince having too little influence.

Xiong Qi was confident that he could live to be eighty, and that the prince would have many opportunities to grow in the future.

But it won’t work if he is too weak.

So, King Xiong Qi of Jin openly said, "What the prince said makes sense."

Prime Minister Xiong Yi was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Big brother-"

Xiong Qi waved his hand, "Don't worry. What the kid said is indeed true."

"Now our Jin State is weak, and the Second Emperor has been on the throne for just one year. I heard that he has made use of many talented people selected from the countryside and managed the internal affairs of Qin in an orderly manner."

"Qin is now in a stronger position. If Jin behaves disrespectfully, wouldn't that give the emperor and other princes an excuse to attack us?"

Upon hearing this, the ministers stroked their beards and nodded in agreement.

Xiong Yi thought that the Second Emperor of Qin, whom he had watched grow up, was indeed not a good person. Only the common people thought that their emperor was a gentleman.

I bother!

Many ministers also felt that the prince was careful and thoughtful in his work and could take on important responsibilities in the future.

Xiong Yi looked at his elder brother Xiong Qi, who was sitting in the upper seat, and was intentionally favoring the crown prince, while the ministers were also praising the crown prince. Although he had some awareness of this, he was too lazy to think about it carefully.

Perhaps everyone will reserve a special place in their heart for a special person.

Xiong Yi was not willing to doubt Xiong Qi at all, and was even less willing to think in a certain direction.

After the court meeting, Xiong Yi prepared luxury cars and many valuable gifts according to Xiong An's plan. He filled thirty cars with them and mobilized a huge team to personally deliver the gifts to Qin II.

Of course, there were also several beautiful Chu women in the convoy.

As the Crown Prince of Jin, Xiong An came to meet the Crown Prince of Qin in a very majestic manner, carrying several carts full of gifts, and his heart was full of pride.

When he arrived at Xianyang City, there were many people who wanted to see the emperor alone. And the embarrassing thing was that most of the people who came were princes, and he was the only prince who came.

Qin Ershi did several things that made the princes admire him. The first was the parallel system of counties and kingdoms. The second was that he did not plan to build a separate mausoleum for himself, but to have his mausoleum placed next to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, so that father and son would be buried together, saving financial resources for the empire.

The third is that he abolished the conscription system and ended the military merit system, completely ending a history unique to the Qin State.

Fourthly, he solved the Qin State’s funding problem.

To be honest, there are not many people in history who can accomplish so many things at once.

Everyone knows that reform is much more difficult than rebellion.

The princes were very respectful to Qin II and were all very respectful to him.

The gifts they brought were generally twenty to thirty carts. Some of the princes in Qi and Lu had very small territories, but they were able to bring thirty carts of tribute. This made Xiong An lose his advantage among the princes.

The meeting of the princes to pay homage to the emperor had not yet begun, but Xiong An had already lost at the starting line.

It just so happened that Xiong Rou heard that her brother was coming, and she needed to know the situation in Jin State, so she took the initiative to leave the palace to see her brother.

No one knows how to sneak out of the palace to have fun better than Xiong Rou.

She would come up with a new way every time she went out, leaving the guards at the palace gate completely unprepared.

After meeting Xiong An, Xiong Rou went straight to the point.

"Why didn't father come in person, but only sent you, the prince, here? Isn't this deliberately making His Majesty think too much?"

Xiong An is a very honest person.

When he met Xiong Rou, he took the initiative to tell her everything about the situation in Jin State.

Xiong Rou looked at her honest brother and for a moment she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Xiong Rou smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have a brother in Jin State, so I feel relieved."

"Sister, you have become much gentler since you became a mother. You are not as arrogant and domineering as before."

"Me, arrogant and domineering?"

"Yes, you didn't look like a woman before. We were afraid of you when we saw you. At that time, we didn't know which unlucky guy would marry you in the future. I didn't expect that you would become His Majesty's concubine in the end. It's true that there is always someone who can conquer you."

Xiong Rou's face darkened. "Brother, if you can't speak, you'd better not speak." "Okay, let's talk about something else."

After Xiong Rou learned about the situation in Jin, she did not have much emotional ups and downs. Because as she expected, her father was a man who did not care about things, and let his subordinates fight among themselves, practicing the Huang-Lao school.

Her uncle was a rebellious person at heart. Not only did he hate Qin Shi Huang, but all he could think about was how to make himself look powerful.

The Jin State reached a consensus and collectively showed resistance to the Qin State. It was only natural for it to break away from the Qin State.

However, when she looked at her brother, who had a decent appearance but a sinister heart, she came up with an idea.

She now has her own biological son and a favored princess. Logically speaking, this is the happiest thing for a woman.

She already has a son and a daughter at a young age, and she has no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

What a pity, the strange thing is that her life is too perfect.

Perfection makes people feel that perfection is actually a flaw. When life is comfortable, people want to seek excitement.

My father was a cold-blooded political creature who threw himself to Qin II as a bargaining chip.

After both parties completed their political deals, one of them disappeared without a trace, while the other left the country and never returned.

Anyway, I will just be used and thrown aside.

While in the palace, she gradually gave up the idea because her father, a huge political backer, could no longer be relied upon. She had lost her power and was even inferior to Lu Zhi who came later.

Because Lu Zhi had two stupid brothers to rely on, they were more useful to Qin II than herself.

And I was left alone.

After her father arrived in Jin State, he obviously abandoned her, and Xiong Rou never wrote to them out of sentimentality.

It wasn't until her brother suddenly came back that Xiong Rou saw some hope.

Xiong Rou was wondering why she couldn't control the State of Jin remotely.

Or in other words, why can't I improve my political value?

This is the reason why Xiong Rou came to Qin II to have this conversation today.
-
In Zhangtai Palace, Xiong Rou changed her clothes after serving Qin II. The blush on her face formed a sharp contrast with the snow-white robe, making her look extremely beautiful.

After playing it safe, she felt guilty and saw that Qin II didn't have much reaction, so she tried to probe:

"I heard that my father did not come to Xianyang this time. The one who came was Jin Crown Prince An. Speaking of which, Crown Prince An often accompanied the Crown Prince Hound in the past. I really miss those days."

"I sat in the carriage and watched His Majesty and my brother driving the dogs together."

Xiong Rou's memories were obviously from the time when Queen Dowager Huayang was still alive.

After all, the Fusu in the memory sounds like a not-so-smart boy chasing a dog.

But this is not the point. The point is that in Fusu’s own impression, Xiong An is indeed good.

They had learned horse riding together when they were young, and had even climbed over the yard of Changping Jun's house.

He saw that Changping Jun liked him and only hugged him but not him, so he became jealous and threw horse manure into Changping Jun's wine. Fusu saw it but did not say anything.

Another time, the Queen Mother Huayang invited many noble ladies to come. After all, the Queen Mother was young and suddenly wanted to dance. While the Queen Mother was dancing, Xiong An mixed boogers into the Queen Mother's pills.

This matter is also related to his grandmother. His grandmother is the mother of Changping Jun, the daughter of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, a princess of Qin State, and the princess whom King Kaolie of Chu State married when he was a hostage in Qin State.

King Kaolie of Chu was the father of Fusu's mother.

From the relationship, it can be seen that Fusu and Xiong An are real blood relatives, uncle and nephew.

After King Zhaoxiang passed away, Xianyang became the world of Queen Dowager Huayang.

The princess, who lost her father's protection, was treated as a slave by the palace maids. The princess's fiefdom was occupied by the people under the Queen Mother Huayang, and Xiao Xiong An, who couldn't do anything big, secretly added boogers to the beauty pills that the Queen Mother Huayang took.

When Fusu found out about this, he chose to join.

At that time, the position of Crown Prince Fusu had not yet been determined. The King of Qin and the Lord of Changping were in an alliance period of trying to win over each other but also to check and balance each other. Fusu had a very good relationship with the children of the Xiong family.

Moreover, An is not only Fusu's uncle. From the perspective of Fusu's mother's bloodline, Xiong An is Fusu's brother. He even climbed a tree while carrying the very heavy Fusu.

As the eldest son, there are really not many people who can accompany him for fun without being bound by status and etiquette. They can be counted on one hand.

Fusu has many good memories with Xiong An.

Qin II actually guessed something. The Prince of Jin did not come, but he let the Crown Prince come. It was obvious that he did not take him, the emperor, seriously.

However, it's the New Year, so he is too lazy to care about it and will wait until next year to deal with it.

Those adults who suppressed them and schemed against each other in the past have now been overthrown one by one or buried in the ground.

No one sits on top of them anymore.

What a rare opportunity and time this is.

The Second Emperor said happily, "Since you are here, let's meet each other. It will be in your palace, a family dinner."

Xiong Rou frowned, "Family dinner, in my palace. Isn't this a bad idea?"

"Why not? You are not someone who cares about face."
