My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 9
"Virtue comes first, Dao comes later. Wait until you have accumulated enough virtue, and then you will see Dao."

"De" in the "De Dao Jing" does not mean "de". It can be understood as "de", but it is not "de".

"That is no more."

Ying Zheng's face was livid, he was so hungry and angry that he was about to faint, but he had to frighten this kid, otherwise he would be turned upside down in the future.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes.

Fusu believes that this is a denial of him.

"One day, I will be someone who surpasses you."

Fusu said this seriously.

Ying Zheng was quite shocked when he heard this.

With his eyes open, Ying Zheng sat on the seat and stared at Fusu intently.

Why did this kid suddenly, suddenly become so ambitious?
"Beyond widows?" Ying Zheng laughed dryly again, and asked Fusu again, "Then do you know that secrets are used to make things happen, and words are used to reveal failures. Some things, once spoken, cannot be done."

"Things are done with secrets, and words are defeated. The reason why the ancients said this is because they knew the harm of people's hearts. If they say what they want to do, they will be blocked by the people around them. But what I want to do is If I surpass Junfu, then in this matter, no one can hinder me except Junfu."

This bastard boy, he was accusing the widow of obstructing him.

"It is said in the chapter of "Mencius", so the heaven will send a great mission to human beings, they must first suffer their minds and wills, work their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. You even pass the test of widows No, I still want to surpass the widow."

"It's just a fool's dream!"

Ying Zheng waved his sleeves to both sides.

Lin Xin was a little flustered now, he looked down at the ground.

He heard too much today that he shouldn't have heard.

This should be what the father and son said in private.

He is just a small middle school student.

Yingzheng's eagle eyes fell on Fusu.

Fu Su asked back suddenly, "Then what should I do to pass the test of my father?"

Ying Zheng sat quietly on the throne.

This kid stopped him.

Faced with this question, Ying Zheng chose to remain silent.

He has no power, no soldiers, and is only an eight-year-old child. All he can do is compete with Ying Zheng on this kind of thing, at least in terms of arrogance.

He looked down at Lin Xin, "From now on, he will be your speech officer, and your every word and deed will be recorded by him."

Fu Su looked at the person beside him, he didn't pay much attention to him just now.

He was born tall and big, with a square face, thick eyebrows and wide mouth, and a loyal face.

Holding a roll of bamboo slips in his arms.

"Yan Guan? Isn't that something only a prince can have?"

Fusu is just the eldest son, at most he has guards to protect him.Only princes have this kind of treatment.

Ying Zheng frowned, "Your words and deeds have been too rampant recently. The widow asked Xin to be your speech officer, not only to record your words and deeds, but more importantly to persuade and supervise you. Since you want to surpass the widow, you have to prove it to I see, you have this strength."

Fusu couldn't understand Yingzheng, so he could only temporarily obey orders.

"Then won't he always follow me from now on?"

"The widow gives him power, no matter where you are or what you do, he will watch you by your side."

Fu Su sighed: This move is really ruthless!
It seems that I will be unlucky in the future.

"only."

Fusu had a bitter face.

Ying Zheng said again, "You will move back to Gui Palace tonight. In the future, without the widow's order, you are not allowed to give advice to anyone except Mr."

"What if my mother wants to see me?"

"Wait until everyone agrees."

Fusu, you are still too tender, don't you think that widows can't cure you?

If you don't learn well when you are young, you will become even more useless when you grow up.
-
In the dead of night, Fusu dragged his long shadow as he walked in the corridor of the palace.

Behind him were 12 eunuchs, four maidservants, and four guards.

Of course, there is also his speech officer - Lin Xin.

Lin Xin was originally from Xianyang, and his parents were all officials of the Qin Dynasty.

In the state of Qin, the promotion of officials was based on the recommendation system and hereditary.

The Qin recommendation system is the embryonic form of the inspection system.Whenever officials, big or small, were introduced into the palace, mansion, or house, the serving officials had to write a letter of recommendation.Once the recommendation letter is written, the recommendation letter will be bound to the official file for life.

Once the introduced official commits a fault, the person who recommended him at the beginning will be imprisoned.And once the person who recommended him commits a mistake, the person recommended will also be implicated.

This is why a large group of people were expelled from Xianyang when Lu Buwei fell from power.

Li Si was also the guest minister recommended for Lu Buwei's endorsement, so he would naturally be expelled from the palace because of Lu Buwei's affairs.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and talented, and wrote the "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" to Ying Zheng.

Therefore, in Qin State, it is very easy to form factions.Those above should protect the young ones, and those below should work hard to protect those who recommended him.

As for the hereditary system, most of the Qin officials in the Qin State are basically hereditary.

Lin Xin was a hereditary Qin official.

There are a lot of such Qin officials in Qin State.

His grandfather was a Qin official from the beginning, and in his generation, it is a matter of course that he is also a Qin official.

It's just that he is better, not only proficient in the laws of Qin, but also has a specialty, that is, the ability to write shorthand.

Such specialized talents will serve as preparatory officials after being hired.

The post of speech officer has existed since ancient times.

The left history records the words, and the right history records the events.Zuo Shi Jiyan is the internal history, and the right history Ji Shi is Tai Shi.

Internal historians are not necessarily eunuchs, but often in the palace, serving the king; Taishi only enters the palace regularly to compile history books.

Obviously, Lin Xin is Fusu's internal history.

This kind of internal history, the level is very low, but close to the king, the power is actually very powerful.

It is the same nature as drivers like Zhao Gao.

Fusu was followed by a long line, and he was very upset.

Ying Zheng is equivalent to grounding him.

If he is not allowed to see Mr. Changping and Mrs. Mu, it will be difficult to act on his own in the future.

He had to do something that would shock both the government and the public, and make meritorious service to Qin.

Fusu walked in front, with his hands behind his back, like a little adult.

Lin Xin followed.

He clearly remembered how the former young master Fusu was very humble, but how could he be so casual yet confident from the bottom of his heart now.

It can be seen that the horse-throwing incident in Shanglin Garden has made Mr. Fusu grow a lot in just three months.

The king asked himself to be the son's speech officer.

According to the etiquette and law, Fusu was given the treatment that only the prince could have, but he did not formally make Fusu the prince.

The king's heart is unpredictable.

But from today on, he will be with Qin's eldest son every day.

In the future, can he grow into a great king who can deter the whole country and govern the country well?
This was the first day that Fusu and Lin Xin officially became monarchs and ministers. No matter what happened later, he still remembered what the high-spirited little Fusu said to the king.

It was only slowly that he realized that Mr. Fusu had actually learned to pretend and forbear from this time.

Never underestimate an eight year old.
