I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 21 Fusu, you must rebel
The 29th year of Emperor Qin Shihuang’s reign.

Ying Zheng woke up from his sleep again. He no longer had the shock, fear and confusion from last time, but instead had a smile on his face.

In addition to the scandals about the Zhu family that he learned today, what made him happier was that even though Song Shen did not mention how the Qin Dynasty perished, how Fusu died, and which bastard would be the next emperor, judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction, it was obvious that the history that Mr. Song talked about in class was all real.

This means that he still has time and the opportunity to obtain more information to avoid future crises and chaos.

Ying Zheng glanced around him and found that the palace maid who was supposed to be serving by his side was not there, and he felt a little unhappy.

At this moment, there was a very low sound of conversation outside the door.

"Minister of the Imperial Chariot Office, His Majesty is still taking a nap. You should come later."

"But this... is really an important matter to report. I wonder when His Majesty will wake up?"

"Come back later."

"..."

They had already lowered their voices, so if Ying Zheng was still taking a nap, he would not be woken up.

But now he is awake.

Hearing the voices of the palace maids and the Imperial Chariot Officer Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng thought for a moment and spoke loudly:
"I'm awake, come in."

The conversation outside the door suddenly stopped.

A moment later, Zhao Gao, with a look of trepidation on his face, entered the room and immediately prostrated himself on the ground, saying that he was sorry for his sins:

"I have disturbed your majesty's rest. I deserve death. Please punish me, your majesty!"

Ying Zheng glanced at him and waved his hand:

"Why are you acting like that? Didn't you just say you had something important to report? Just say it."

Zhao Gao stood up and carefully observed the emperor's expression. Seeing that His Majesty really did not look unhappy, he bowed again with confidence and bowed his head to report:

"Your Majesty's order yesterday has come to fruition. Among the remnants of the six kingdoms there is indeed a man named Zhang Liang."

Ying Zheng, who had been a little careless at first, sat up straighter upon hearing this.

He wondered:

"So fast? It's only been a day, how did you find out the news?"

This is questioning the accuracy and authenticity of the news.

Zhao Gao heard the emperor's hidden meaning and said quickly:
"Your Majesty, you may not know that the people I sent out did not even leave Xianyang City, but they found information related to this person."

"Zhang Liang was originally a nobleman of the Han Dynasty. His grandfather was Zhang Kaidi and his father was Zhang Ping. Together, they served as prime ministers of the Han Dynasty for five dynasties. He was indeed born into a famous family."

"After Qin conquered Han, Zhang Liang dismissed 300 servants, sold all his property, and fled from Han."

"But this person is quite famous among the remnants of the six kingdoms, because he had secretly organized several assassination attempts on your majesty, but they were abandoned because of inappropriate timing. I was looking for the remnants of the six kingdoms in Xianyang City, and I originally just wanted to check if there were any clues, but I didn't expect to find out the identity of this person directly. After learning the news today, I was afraid of delaying your business, so I hurried here. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng listened quietly without saying anything.

But his hand kept tapping the wooden edge of the couch, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhao Gao was actually very curious. Even he, who spent most of his time with the First Emperor and had access to many secrets, had never heard of Zhang Liang. How did the Emperor know about him?
And once investigated, they found out that he was a habitual assassin!
But he was only curious in his heart and didn't dare to ask, not even to ask how His Majesty planned to deal with it.

What His Majesty hates most is someone trying to guess his intentions.

While Zhao Gao was in a daze, he suddenly heard the deep voice of the First Emperor.

"I understand."

"Zhao Gao, go and ask Fusu to come over. I have something to talk to him about."

Zhao Gao: Huh???

Just forget it?
After searching all over Xianyang and finally finding Zhang Liang, is there really no follow-up?
Could it be that Your Majesty was just on a whim and was bored so he decided to investigate a traitor...

This is too ridiculous!

He hesitated for several seconds, and after repeated consideration, he finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Then Your Majesty, does Zhang Liang need..."

This time, Ying Zheng didn't even look at him:

"If you shouldn't ask, just shut up. When will it be your turn to teach me how to do things?"

Zhao Gao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

No matter how curious or confused he was, how dare he ask?
I'm afraid he must be very bold today!
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Zhao Gao, who had finally mustered up the courage, immediately lost his courage.

He knelt again:
"I have spoken and acted inappropriately, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, the palace maid outside the door came in, because the emperor had already stood up from the couch and signaled with his eyes that he could start dressing.

Ying Zheng stood up and stretched his arms, waiting for the palace maid to change his clothes, and said calmly:

"It won't happen again. Go ahead."

…………

Not long after.

Prince Fusu, with a confused look on his face, was brought to the First Emperor's bedroom.

He felt very strange.

Fusu knew that his father had the habit of taking a nap, but his father was always busy, with a lot of things to do every day, and he often started dealing with government affairs as soon as he opened his eyes.

But today, his father actually had time to ask him to come to see him? It seemed that there was no big event.

"Fusu, you're here."

Inside the hall, the First Emperor was already dressed and sitting in front of a desk.

His bedroom was not his daily office, but as an emperor who might have official business to attend to at any time, all of Ying Zheng's palaces were equipped with complete desks and writing materials.

Fusu came back to his senses and bowed respectfully:
"Fusu greets His Majesty."

Looking at his eldest son who was well-mannered and knowledgeable, Ying Zheng suddenly felt uncomfortable.

If he had not seen other imperial fathers and sons, he would not think it was a big deal. However, after seeing how Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, father and son, got along with each other in that space, Ying Zheng could not help but doubt himself.

Zhu Biao directly called Zhu Yuanzhang "Dad", which means father, but Fusu only called him that before he was five years old, and never did so again since he started to learn to read.

Ying Zheng was very strict with his son, who would inevitably inherit his throne in the future. He always had a stern face when they met. No wonder Fusu was not close to him.

In particular, he also heard about Fusu's fate. Although he did not show it on his face at the time, he felt very bitter in his heart.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng said calmly:
"Get up, sit down here and talk."

"In the future, if there is no one else present, you don't have to call me Your Majesty, just call me Father."

Fusu: Ah?

The confusion on Fusu's face was almost overflowing.

Was my father possessed by some evil spirit today or something...he has become a completely different person!

But he didn't even have time to be surprised.

After Fusu sat down as he was told, Ying Zheng thought for a while and then said:

"I will teach you one thing today, Fusu, you must remember it——"

"No matter how many years have passed, if someone tells you to commit suicide, no matter who that person is, even if it is my order, you must not believe it."

"Take the soldiers around you, take the generals you can trust, and lead them into Xianyang City to investigate. Do you understand?"

"If you don't understand, I'll explain it more clearly. If anyone dares to take your life, you must rebel against them. Fusu, you must learn how to rebel."

Fusu: Huh? ! !
