Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 478: The battle between concubine and concubine has never stopped (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
"It's just that before you take office, you must first enter the Imperial Academy. I will first appoint you as the assistant teacher of Jijiu to help Zhang Cang handle this cultural and educational reform. You have only one priority here, assist Zhang Cang in reorganizing Confucianism, and assist me in the Qin Dynasty Dharma teachings.”

"Chun Yuyue and Fu Sheng are both famous Confucian scholars in the world. They are very talented, but I value their reputation more than their talent. But these two people only want to promote Confucianism."

"This time, it is called establishing Confucianism as a political science in Qin State, but it is actually emasculating Confucianism. And my master is famous all over the world. I hope that my master can accept this matter with peace of mind."

"You have been with me for so long, so you naturally know very well what kind of Confucianism I need."

Fan Zeng bowed:

"I understand your Majesty's intention. I will go to Taixue to discuss with Zhang Jijiu. I will not disappoint Your Majesty this time."

"Go ahead."

When the Second Emperor traveled, he was not as extravagant as the First Emperor. He only brought a group of cavalry and guards, light chariots, fast horses, and good crossbows for hunting.

"I will not return to the palace today. I will stay here in Shanglin Garden for one night."

Fusu needed to calm down outside the palace. He knew that someone would come to advise him during this period.Fusu naturally didn't want to see them.

Pang You, the regular servant, frowned after hearing this. Winter and spring are alternating between cold and hot. His Majesty suddenly went to the palace. There was no one to warm him, and he was afraid of catching a cold.

"Then I will go to Shanglin Villa to take care of it now, otherwise Your Majesty may get cold."

Fusu nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Fusu led a group of people to drive to the depths of the mountain forest on horseback.

When they reached a mountainside, Fusu met his two sons.

Because of their age, they are very close.

Both brothers were wearing white robes, Lang Wei followed behind, the two brothers talked and laughed, very happy.

Seeing Fusu, both of them were a little surprised.

They barely saw their father this year.

From the time Fusu moved into Wangyi Palace, they could not see his father often.

When the two of them saw Fusu, they were extremely happy.

There are striking similarities in history.

In the past, Fusu, accompanied by Chi Wu, often went out hunting before dawn, which was a required course for the six arts of a gentleman.

Nowadays, the two oldest sons of the emperor have to get up before dawn to practice riding and shooting.

As the eldest son, Yao has even greater responsibilities.

Not only that, although they are still learning arts, they are always concerned with the affairs of the court.

To them, their king and father were not worthy of their worship, because they had lived with him day and night, and neither found their father to be terrible nor did they find anything extraordinary about their father.

The great heroes in the minds of these two brothers are Meng Tian, ​​the pillar of the empire, and General Li Xin.

So they were concerned about the emperor and Meng Tian's movements.

However, the former prince Fusu was different. He was concerned about the war.Ying Zheng started the war almost every day, and everyone in Xianyang City was looking forward to the war and waiting for news of the war.

The war will bring them promotion and promotion...

When Fusu saw these two children, his heart could not soften.

Most of the kings of future generations will become useless because their growing environment is too comfortable.

The current eldest son Yao is the former eldest son Fusu.

Moreover, Gongzi Yao and Gongzi Huo, both of them paid attention to the policies imposed by his father all day long.

However, the two brothers did not worship their father-in-law II as much as Ying Fusu worshiped his father-in-law.

In fact, they are now sweating for their king and father.

Seeing Fusu, the two brothers came over one after another to bow to him.

"I pay my respects to your father."

"Ping Sheng. I have been busy with government affairs these days, and I have no time to estimate you two brothers. Yao - tell me, have you learned anything in these days?"

Yao, the new heir of the Great Qin Empire!

The emperor system first established by Yingzheng has many shortcomings, but the establishment of its system is only a historical inevitability.

The result of centralization.

But getting back to the subject, the training and selection of successors are directly related to the life and death of the empire.

Looking at it this way, Yao is Fusu's son. He is the person who will determine the life and death of the Qin Empire in the future.

The historical experience and lessons of 2000 years tell us that there is nothing wrong with the issue of the emperor's successor.

Fusu put his hands on his knees, looking a little casual, but he focused his stern and ruthless eyes on Gongzi Yao.

Yao and Fusu had a good father-son relationship in the past, and they often accompanied each other, but he had never seen such a look in his eyes today.

It was only when he faced the imperial grandfather in the past that Yao would feel that kind of heartfelt fear.

But now, he began to swallow his saliva, and his whole body became extremely tense.His father-in-law had never looked at him like this, and now he was no taller than a tall horse.

Yao bowed respectfully and said:

"Reporting to your father, I have been learning the art of riding and shooting these days, and I am now able to draw a bow. My driving skills have also improved."

He was only thirteen years old. Such an achievement was undoubtedly something he could be proud of.

But Fusu was extremely surprised:

"Is this considered progress? Haven't you realized anything in one year? As my eldest son, you have shouldered the entire empire since the day you were born. Although you have not yet been officially canonized, I Not long after you were born, you were already made an heir, and everyone in the government and the public knows about this."

"I will not break my promise. You are the prince of the Great Qin Empire. I hope that you can show some behavior like a prince. What I want is not whether you can shoot a bow, but I hope you can know how to face problems and be able to Make the decision alone.”

"At least today, your answer to my question was too superficial."

When Yao heard these words, his face turned red with shame, and he huddled his neck in his robe.

Hui was also surprised to see his father being so strict with his brother.

Fusu felt even more hateful when he saw Yao's aggrieved look after being scolded like this.

What he needs is a strong and capable heir to the empire, not a son who only knows how to show off his skills.

Fusu was naturally very angry.

But Fusu didn't forget that Yao's growing up environment was completely different from his.

Since there are no good enough conditions for the growth of a prince, then create conditions.

Speaking of which, Feng Quji openly supported him in the court today, which Fusu did not expect.

If the Prime Minister thinks clearly, he will naturally reward him.

Moreover, although there is already a Wang family behind Yao, Fusu firmly believes that he must be given another layer of protection, otherwise he will be feared by Yingzheng like he did when he was the prince, and only the Wang family will be behind him when he comes to power. , there is no supporter behind it.

This will make the new king feel very passive after taking office.

Yao De has been involved in power struggles since he was a child, otherwise he would be kept in the Xianyang Palace like a flower, which would only make him ignorant of the dangers in court struggles.

Fusu's anger subsided temporarily.

"I have decided to confer the title of Crown Prince and Tutor on the Prime Minister. From now on, if you don't understand anything, please go to the Prime Minister's house for advice."

Yao nodded repeatedly.

"only."

Fusu looked at Gongzi Hui again.

Gongzihui looked like her mother and was very handsome, but Fusu felt that this child had a very distant relationship with him.

A father who becomes an emperor does not require filial piety from his son, but loyalty.

Fusu looked at Young Master Zun, the expression on his face softened a lot.

"Where's Huo'er?"

Young Master Hui hesitated for a while, then slowly said:

"I heard from an expert that one can see the spring and autumn of a tree, but it is not easy to see the spring and autumn of a person. Today my father asked me how much I have grown, but I don't know."

This is quite beautiful to say!

So much so that Wei Wei Huo Cheng stared at the child in amazement after hearing this.

But when Fusu heard this answer, he felt that something was wrong.

The primogeniture system—it was just a method.

His sons are all candidates to inherit the throne.

Therefore, when Fusu heard this, he was unhappy and became angry.

"Master, what kind of master?"

You know, the person who said this is Fusu himself.

"Master."

Fusu was naturally even more puzzled after hearing this.

The prince's current tutor is Zhang Cang.

Because he was idle but also knowledgeable and talented, Fusu asked him to help him take care of the children.

Although there are differences between legitimate concubines and concubines, he was only a prince in the past, and as a father, his palms and backs were full of flesh.

"How do you know that Taifu is an expert?"

"My mother said that the people your Majesty relies on are considered superiors and you should be friendly to them."

"Did your mother really tell you this?"

"I dare not lie to my father."

Fusu naturally felt resentful after hearing this.

"Beside me, there is such a flower of interpretation."

Young Master Zun is not young anymore, so he naturally knows clearly that these words are dissatisfaction with his mother.

"You are a concubine, why do you listen to the words of an expert?"

What he hates is his status as a concubine.

Why his father would dote on his mother, but be so ruthless to his second son, made Asa very conflicted.What's even more contradictory is that his father-in-law had a cold attitude towards the queen, but he respected her very much. He only loved the queen's son and often taught him things in private.

But his brother, who knew nothing about it, was still complacent about it.

Hearing this, Young Master Hui didn't show much emotion.

"How can the sparrow know the ambition of the swan?"

When these words came out of his mouth, Huo Cheng was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.

After hearing this, Fusu naturally beat the armrests on both sides.

"Which one is the sparrow, which one is the swan?"

This time Gong Zihuang didn't dare to answer.

It is disrespectful to say that his father is a little bird like a chaffinch.

"I made a mistake, please punish me."

There can only be one heir to the empire.

Fusu actually likes Huo from the bottom of his heart, so what can he do?

What he wants is the eldest son of the empire.

"There is a difference between concubine and concubine. The prince and tutor should teach Yao. As for Hao, you should go to the imperial palace to learn."

This means that from today on, he will no longer be taught by a specialized master like Gongzi Yao.

These words were like a bolt from the blue, directly condemning him to death.

"Send the second young master back to the palace."

When Huo Cheng saw this scene, he just thought of himself. He was also a concubine.

The Huo family, derived from the surname Ji and named after the country, is a descendant of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty.Although their clan had declined as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, it was still a large clan.

There are many generals in the Huo family.

And how much he had to go through along the way from a Lang Wei to a Wei Wei.

After all, he was a 13-year-old child. After experiencing such a thing and being scolded by his own father, he naturally felt aggrieved. Young Master Hui cried all the way back to the palace.

On the other hand, Yao followed Fusu to Shanglin Palace.

On the way to the palace, Yao and Fusu were in the same car. He was trembling for a long time and finally mustered up the courage.

"Father, I have had a problem today."

"What happened?"

"I have forgotten my identity."

Fusu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"There are thousands of families in this world, and the behavior of these thousands of families is based on my words and deeds. As my eldest son, you should understand this. Your words and deeds are all What everyone in the world observes.”

"Today, the reason why I reprimand you two brothers is to set an example for everyone in the world. There is a distinction between direct descendants and concubines, and the royal family cannot overstep it."

Yao listened and just nodded.

But he also felt sorry in his heart that he had lost a playmate who was driving with him.

But when Mrs. Shuanghua learned the whole story, she was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.

The emperor did this on purpose, just to make the mother and son give up.

Xue Ji comforted Gong Zizhen.

"Huo'er, you have to know that sometimes someone punishes you not because you have made a mistake, but because many things are unreasonable."

Gong Zihui didn't understand these things at all.

"The world is full of unfair things, and these unfair things often happen to those who have no power."

"I was originally just a beauty who was not favored by King Qi. Now that I am able to be his wife in Xianyang Palace, it is naturally because of Duke Jiang's blessing. But I have a humble status and no power behind me. You are the only one I can rely on."

"So you are wronged today because I gave birth to you in this palace. In this palace, there are no parents and brothers, no human relations, only a struggle for power. Your father-in-law is just acting for the world today. , perform a play that makes people all over the world praise the emperor for his clear principles."

"The reason why I choose to make you suffer is because you and I, mother and son, are unimportant people to His Majesty."

Hui was surprised.

"How could it be? Your father treated your mother very well in the past."

Xue Ji smiled helplessly.

"When His Majesty has only one obedient woman by his side, then he will naturally only love this one. But when there are many obedient beauties around her, then he will love many."

After hearing this, Gongzi Hui actually made a mocking expression at such a young age.

"This kind of love is just like people choosing the fat and thin when buying meat at the vegetable market."

Xue Ji laughed naturally after hearing this.
