"Father...Father!" Fusu looked at Ying Zheng with a trembling voice.

For a moment, everything Zhao Jia taught him was forgotten.

It is natural for a son to fear his father. There are many times when father and son get along well with each other, but not at Fusu's age.

Generally speaking, between father and son, when the child is a child, the father is the person he admires the most. When he is around ten years old, he starts to rebel, and only after he becomes an adult will he understand his father.

Only at this time will the relationship between father and son be truly harmonious, because the father is also old.

Ying Zheng nodded, then turned to look at Zhao Jia and bowed seriously, "Thank you for your teachings to Fusu."

"The King of Qin is too kind!" Zhao Jia was also a little panicked.

Many of the things he taught Fusu were actually not presentable, and most of them could be said to be used to deceive the emperor.

"However, there is one thing that the teacher did not teach you, such as what your great-grandfather did!" Ying Zheng said calmly.

Zhao Jia was stunned, then looked at the Guantai Dingqin sword at Fusu's waist, which was almost as tall as Fusu.

Who was his great-grandfather? Zhao He, King Huiwen of Zhao, and Zhao Zhang, the first King of Dai. His great-great-grandfather was Zhao Yong, King Wuling of Zhao.

King Wuling of Zhao created a prosperous era of wearing Hu clothes and riding and shooting in Zhao State, then he took the initiative to retreat to the position of emperor emeritus and determined the plan of "dividing Zhao and Dai". He planned to mediate between the two states, one in the east and one in the west, one in the south and one in the north, and let Zhao State attack from both sides to destroy Qin.

Ideals and plans are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

The plan of dividing Zhao and Dai was originally intended for Zhao Yong to mediate, letting King Zhao He of Zhao lead his troops to attack Hangu Pass, forcing Qin to heavily guard Hangu Pass and tie down the main force of the Qin army. Then King Dai Zhao Zhang would send troops from Dai County, detour through Yunzhong Jiuyuan, and have cavalry descend from the sky to appear in Beidi and Longxi of Qin, detour from the northwest and directly attack Xianyang.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yong underestimated human desire for power.

Eventually, the Shaqiu Palace Coup occurred, and King Zhao Zhang of Dai launched a rebellion with the intention of killing King Zhao He of Zhao Huiwen.

As a result, Zhao Xiang Gongzi Cheng led his troops to surround Shaqiu Palace and executed Zhao Zhang. Because he had destroyed the plan of "dividing the kingdom between Zhao and Dai", he was afraid that King Wuling of Zhao would take revenge on him later, so he continued to besiege Shaqiu Palace, which eventually led to King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao Yong, starving to death in the palace.

Ying Zheng would not believe that there was no instruction from King Huiwen of Zhao, Zhao He.

Without the authorization of King Huiwen of Zhao, Zhao He, how could Zhao Cheng mobilize the army and dare to kill King Dai and King Wuling of Zhao?

It was also obvious that Zhao Jia was more aware of the specific details of the palace coup that took place that year.

As the King of Zhao, who would hope to have an emperor who holds all the power above him, let alone a King of Dai who can share the royal power equally with him.

In particular, Zhao Zhang was originally the real Crown Prince of Zhao.

Ying Zheng’s meaning is very clear, he is talking about King Huiwen of Zhao’s actions.

If Fusu really led the army to Xianyang, why would he need an explanation? He could just follow the example of King Huiwen of Zhao.

The problem is, does Zhao Jia dare to teach something that goes against moral principles?

If Zhao Jia dares to teach, he may not see the sun the next day.

"According to the original plan of me and the Qin royal family, Fusu should first learn Confucianism, understand ethics and morality, and govern the people with benevolence; then learn military affairs, command the army, and finally learn law and become the King of Qin."

Ying Zheng calmly spoke of Qin's original training plan for Fusu.

Sun Wu was right about one thing: the most important affairs of a country are war and sacrifice.

Confucianism was in charge of sacrifices, and military strategists were in charge of warfare, so the Qin State also trained Fusu according to this progressive plan.

It’s just that the Qin State ruled the country by law, so there would be an additional level of learning the law in the end.

But now, Fusu was brought to Bingzhou and taught by Bingzhou, so Ying Zheng did not intervene. Bingzhou was different from Qin State. Bingzhou was built from scratch and was an entrepreneurial enterprise. For Fusu, witnessing the rise of a powerful empire with his own eyes was far more important than learning from women in the deep palace.

At least now, in Ying Zheng's eyes, Fusu looks very much like Bingjun.

In other words, children always look more like their uncles and have a better relationship with them.

If the next king of Qin could be 80% similar to Bingjun, then Ying Zheng would have to go to the ancestral temple in Yongzhou to see if the temple had been struck by lightning or caught fire!
Now it seems that although Fusu is still very young, he already has some of the domineering character that a king should have.

Once a personality is formed, it is difficult to change it.

Fusu grew up in Bingzhou and was more or less influenced by the customs of Bingzhou. He would overturn the table if he disagreed with something!
This can be said to be good or bad, but if someone guides you correctly, it will only be a positive side and you will know when to turn the table.

Therefore, Ying Zheng is very satisfied with the current Fusu.

If you are timid in doing things, you will only be bullied by court officials. After all, this is not the character that a qualified king should have.

"It's a rare opportunity for your father to come here, so how about giving Fusu two days to rest?" Ying Zheng really respected Zhao Jia and Yan Yan. Even if he wanted to take Fusu out to play, he would first ask Zhao Jia and Yan Yan's opinions.

Fusu also looked at his teacher and uncle with anticipation.

Yan Yan didn't say anything, but turned to look at Zhao Jia, giving Zhao Jia the greatest respect.

Zhao Jia naturally had no reason to refuse.

If Fusu wants to become the King of Qin, the final decision lies in Ying Zheng's hands. Being able to have a good relationship with Ying Zheng is also the most crucial step.

"Then let's take a three-day break with the King of Qin!" Zhao Jia nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, sir!" Ying Zheng and Fusu bowed together.

Ying Zheng smiled and picked up Fusu. All of a sudden he realized that Fusu had really grown up and he could hardly hold him anymore.

When Fusu was taken away, he was not even as tall as his waist, but now he is as tall as Ding Qin Sword.

If a few years pass, I may not be able to hug him anymore even if I want to.

"The fodder in Bingzhou can not only feed cattle and horses, but also humans!" Ying Zheng suddenly sighed.

"?" Fusu, Yan Yan and the surrounding waiters were all confused.

Especially Fusu, he is not a beast of burden.

"Ahem..." Ying Zheng also realized that he had used the wrong adjective and coughed twice awkwardly.

Although he is the King of Qin, this is the Bingzhou Palace after all, and it is also the harem. Naturally, he has to avoid suspicion and it is impossible for him to live in the palace.

So, Ying Zheng took Fusu out of the Eastern Palace and lived in the temporary residence prepared for him in Bingzhou.

The coronation ceremony would be held in three days, so Ying Zheng had time to take Fusu to travel around the Beiye royal court. Finally, he no longer had to be used as free labor to help Yan Yan handle government affairs.

Ying Zheng had no intention of teaching Fusu anything in three days, he simply took Fusu out to play.

Yan Yan did not ask anyone to disturb the father and son, but the necessary security was still in place.

If Ying Zheng died in Beiye Royal City, it would be a real blessing from heaven, and all the princes would be delighted.

In the Academy Hall, Yan Yan once again welcomed envoys from various countries, especially the envoy from the State of Yan, Lord Yan Chun!
Yan Chunjun and he are close friends, but he is much more difficult to deal with than Li Yuan.
