Since time traveling, I have some Fusu memories and a sudden increase in knowledge reserves in my head. The last time I met Ying Zheng was just a few words, no unnecessary communication, and I didn't go out to meet other people during this period. But once I communicate with people in depth, someone will definitely notice something strange about me. Now Ying Zheng suddenly summoned me again. I'm afraid it won't be easy...
While I was feeling anxious, the visitor had already led me to the Sihai Palace behind Xianyang Palace. Except for important ceremonies, meetings with envoys and other activities, Yingzheng basically worked and rested in Sihai Palace.
"Emperor, Young Master Fusu has arrived." The visitor reported to Ying Zheng.
"Come in." Ying Zheng's voice came from the main hall, still cherishing his words like gold.
The visitor said "please" and stood outside the door waiting.
I stepped into the main hall, which was brightly lit. There were only Ying Zheng, who was kneeling in front of the case and writing furiously, and the Lang Guan who stood beside him during the court meeting.
I bowed and saluted: "Father."
"Xingzhong, you go out first." Ying Zheng did not raise his head, but said to the official.
'In punishment? Not very familiar. 'I bent over trying to remember who this man was.
Xing Zhong left the hall in response, leaving only Ying Zheng and I in the hall. Apart from the sound of Ying Zheng writing and the sound of candles exploding, the sound of needles dropping could be heard in the hall. Just when I started to feel pain in my back, Ying Zheng finally spoke: "Come closer and sit."
"Yes, Father." I stood up and walked to the desk, knelt down and looked at Ying Zheng who was still reviewing the memorial. I couldn't help but said: "Father, take care of yourself." This is a big boss, and condoms are almost impossible. Suffer!
Ying Zheng's hand holding the pen paused for a moment before continuing to review: "No problem. What do you think of me making you the crown prince?"
'Again? ? You asked me what I thought last time, and this time I asked, are you Master Di, but I am not Yuan Fang...' There was a cry in my heart, and I answered cautiously: "My father has a long life."
Ying Zheng stopped writing in his hand and looked up at me. I lowered my head quickly, fearing that he would notice something strange. But what I didn't know was that I was almost naked in front of Ying Zheng.
"You have changed." Ying Zheng was silent for a while. I raised my head and looked at him in surprise. Is it so obvious? ? Ying Zheng continued: "With your past personality, you would not give me such an incorrect answer."
Without waiting for me to explain, Ying Zheng said again: "I heard from Li Si that you are interested in "Qin Code"?"
Li Si is really loyal. I responded: "Father, I have been resting for ten days and thought a lot. I feel that my father is right. The world has been unified for ten years, but now there are still remnants of the six countries making trouble. If we hope to influence them with gentleness, we may not be able to stabilize the Nine Provinces, but with legal restraint, we can unite the world!"
Ying Zheng smiled. Since time travel, I have never seen a smile on Ying Zheng's face. I quickly added: "My father, please forgive me if I am wrong!"
Ying Zheng put down the pen in his hand, stood up and said, "Go out for a walk."
I stood up and said yes, and as Ying Zheng walked out of the Sihai Palace, the stars were shining brightly outside, and the moon hanging in the sky cast a silver glow on Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng said as he walked: "I didn't expect you to have such a big change. Yes, I also want peace in the world and stability in Kyushu, but the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are always dead. The Xiongnu in the north invades our Qin Dynasty from time to time, and the Baiyue in the south also Often making trouble."
Ying Zheng changed the topic: "But I am here! I can never make waves with them! I built roads, built water conservancy projects, and built palaces all to tell them that I, the Qin Dynasty, can hold on after destroying the six kingdoms. How powerful was the Qin Dynasty when it destroyed the six kingdoms, and it is still so powerful now!"
Listening to Ying Zheng's words, I couldn't help but have a new view of this First Emperor.
I admire him. He pioneered two thousand years of feudal monarchy and truly realized unification on the land of China for the first time. It was because of him that no matter how the dynasties changed in the feudal era, he could always achieve the goal of reunification in the shortest possible time under the circumstances. To form unity within the country, so that the people will lessen the pain of war;
But I also feel pity. The various hardships he experienced as a boy have caused indelible trauma to him. After ascending to the throne of Qin, only by unifying the six kingdoms can he forget his past pain. Now that the world is unified, the Six Kingdoms have become a thing of the past, but what has he gained? There is only the world.
Look, the history books didn't even record his queen or more than 20 children. After II ascended the throne, he forced all his unborn concubines, children, and generals who had accompanied him in his lifelong battles to death.
I suddenly realized why he was so crazy about pursuing immortality, traveling around the world, and building palaces and mausoleums. Because that was all he had. He turned himself into a god who has no emotions and does not eat the fireworks of the world, overlooking all living beings.
But he is still a human being after all. The fate of a generation of heroes is so miserable, such as King Wuling of Zhao who starved to death in the Sand Dune Palace, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who had his own son killed and regretted it. His past achievements have become a fleeting cloud and disappeared in the long river of history. Among them, only the cold names and the stories with bleak endings remain in the history books.
"However, I can feel that my health is getting worse day by day, and it is becoming more and more difficult to review memorials." Ying Zheng's voice slowly deepened: "Xu Fu has been at sea for 9 years, and so far he has not been able to find the elixir. However, except for Xu Fu , I don’t trust anyone anymore, I have killed everyone who deserves to be killed, only Xu Fu is left..."
I listened silently, speechless. I didn't think Ying Zheng could listen to any opinions on the matter of pursuing immortality.
Ying Zheng suddenly stopped and turned to look at me: "So I have to go to Chengshan in person to wait for Xu Fu. When Li Si investigates the collusion between the remnants of the Chu Kingdom and Ying Yue, I will set off immediately. Do you know why I made you the crown prince at this moment?"
Obviously Ying Zheng didn't want to hear my answer this time, and continued: "If Xu Fu can't find the elixir, the immortality I want may only be realized underground. The world will always be left to you or Hu Hai, but Hu Hai is young and You are the only one with a naughty personality who can be the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty. What makes me a little gratified is that you somewhat understood my good intentions after falling into the water this time.
Tomorrow, Li Si will hand over the crown prince's seal to you. When the Ying Yue case is completed, you will take over and take charge of all matters in the Shaofu. "
'Hey, it seems that the First Emperor also realized that the hope of immortality was slim. 'I look at Ying Zheng. Although we are from two eras, I am looking at an old emperor in his twilight years with no children to accompany him and no relatives to get close to him. Even his only hope of immortality is about to be shattered. , I have mixed feelings in my heart.
"I sincerely obey my father's orders, and my father will live as long as heaven!" I bowed my head and saluted.
Ying Zheng turned around and walked into the palace: "Go back and rest. Don't let me down."
Watching Ying Zheng's desolate figure disappear into the palace, the visitor stepped forward to lead me back to Fuliang Palace, but I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time...
