"Wake up, wake up!"
"The eldest son is awake!"
"Go and report to Your Majesty!"
"promise!"
…
Ying Fusu opened his eyes and lay on the Jintao, not wanting to move.
His eyes were unfocused, and he stared at the top of the bed carved from thousand-year-old pear wood in a daze.
The imperial physician ordered Xia Wuqi to first apologize to Ying Fusu and then sit by the bed.
During this period, Ying Fusu did not respond.
According to the past, with Ying Fusu's temperament, he would definitely stand up and return the favor now.
Doctors pay attention to looking, smelling, asking, and treating.
As an imperial physician, Xia Wuqi's medical skills needless to say are excellent.
Before his hands were put on each other, just by looking at Ying Fusu's face and listening to Ying Fusu's breathing, he knew that Ying Fusu's health was probably fine and that this was a mental illness.
Ying Fusu did not return the gift, so Xia Wuqi skipped the step of "asking" and directly put his hand on Ying Fusu's wrist to take his pulse for diagnosis.
After a while, Xia Wuji bowed again.
Ying Fusu, who admired ancient etiquette, still had no reaction.
Xia Wuji then left the palace. He was no longer needed here.
The pulse pattern showed that Ying Fusu was healthy but his mind was disordered. He was indeed suffering from a heart disease, which required heart medicine.
In the room, the eunuchs and maids saw this and became cautious, even breathing slower.
…
"A gentleman will not be praised for his reputation when he dies. This sentence means that a gentleman is worried that after death, his reputation will not be praised by the world. Reputation is more important to people than life!"
Chunyu Yueyue, who was upright and upright, told Ying Fusu that the most important thing in life is not life.
"Mr. Chang'an just retorted a few words today, how can your majesty punish him?"
Chun Yuyue, who taught Ying Fusu that reputation is more important than life, expressed in the court that reputation is not important.
"What we Confucians seek is a peaceful and prosperous age! Help the world and save the people! Rule the world with benevolence and propriety! If you want to learn it, the eldest son must first read the Analects of Confucius. This is a book compiled by our Confucian sages who recorded the words and deeds of Confucius, every word is precious. A word worth a thousand dollars!”
The first book Chun Yuyue asked Ying Fusu to read was "The Analects of Confucius". He told Ying Fusu that it contained Confucius' way of life and that every word should be understood carefully.
"My lord! I obey the order!"
In the court, Chunyu Yue responded to the order of the First Emperor and agreed to teach Ying Fusu the "Analects of Confucius" annotated by Ying Chengyu. His expression was very excited.
Scenes after scenes played in Ying Fusu's mind like a slideshow, leaving him dazed and confused...
"Your Majesty, the eldest son is awake."
When Zhao Gao came in to report, he looked respectful and showed no resentment at being removed from the imperial seal.
"I know." Ying Zheng's response was very flat.
Zhao Gao bowed and retreated.
Gai Nie, who was standing behind Ying Zheng, saw that Ying Zheng quickly collected the bamboo slips in his hands and piled the memorials together casually.
"Gane."
"I'm here."
"Now that I've woken up, go tell Yu Chengzhi and let him take a look, so that he won't worry."
Gai Nie's face was paralyzed: "Chang'an Jun will not worry about the eldest son, and your majesty does not need to worry about the eldest son."
Ying Zheng tightened his hands: "That's ridiculous! When did I say that I was worried? That traitor fainted in court because of a trivial matter! His character is so unbearable, I..."
Ying Zheng couldn't say any more.
Ge Nie is different from Zhao Gao.
When Zhao Gao was making the seal order, he stood beside Ying Zheng with his head half bowed.
When Ying Zheng was talking to him, his head was all lowered and he would not look Ying Zheng in the eyes.
But Genie is not.
Gai Nie's majesty was like a sheathed sword.
Except for slightly lowering the head when saluting, the person looks straight ahead at all times.
Neither domineering nor condescending.
When Ying Zheng spoke to him, he looked at Ying Zheng calmly with a paralyzed face.
Ying Zheng had a dark face.
Gai Nie's glaring eyes reminded him of a certain person who threatened to stare at him here yesterday.
You haven't done anything wrong with Cheng Xi's faults. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute, right?
"If Zhao is higher than this, he will not say a word except the questions I asked."
"My name is Gai Nie, not Zhao Gao. If Your Majesty wants to find the official of Zhongche Mansion, I will go out and call him in."
"That's all."
Ying Zheng picked up the bamboo slips again and continued to approve these memorials, which seemed to be endless.
Although in his heart, as Gai Nie said, he really wanted to see Ying Fusu's current situation.
But he held back.
He couldn't say why.
Maybe it's because he has been an emperor for so long that he has forgotten how to be a father.
The lights in Zhangtai Palace continued to burn, the wicks buzzed, and sometimes a small flame exploded.
When the lamp oil gradually accumulated into a small pool, Zhao Gao came in again and brought some unexpected news to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, Li Si wants to see you."
Li Si, what is he doing here?
Ying Zheng paused with his brush.
Oh yes, I think it was Meng Gong's stress reaction, and he arrested too many people, which affected Tingwei's prison.
"Announce him to come in."
"only."
Just when Zhao Gao responded and was about to leave.
Another eunuch walked into Zhangtai Palace.
"Your Majesty, please see me, eldest son."
"Announce him to come in!"
"only."
The eunuch went out to invite Ying Fusu.
Ying Zheng turned to Zhao Gao and gave instructions.
"Go and ask Li Si what's going on. If it's about arresting someone, ask him to come see you tomorrow."
Zhao Gao bowed his head respectfully and replied with one word: "Wei."
Ying Zheng beamed with joy and suddenly realized something. He glanced at Gai Nie awkwardly and said, "Fusu is the eldest son. If Fusu comes to see me, I should see him first."
Gai Nie's face was expressionless, and he wanted to imitate Zhao Gao and bow, but his back was really stiff and he couldn't do it - he didn't have this habit.
A swordsman would rather break than bend.
If he couldn't do it, he wouldn't force it. He tried his best to sound respectful and said: "Wei."
After listening to Gai Nie's answer, Ying Zheng suddenly felt that Gai Nie, who was more talkative before, was better.
In Xianyang Palace, there are too many people who can only say the word "WEI".
Ying Zheng felt a little regretful.
But immediately, this trace of regret was forgotten by Ying Zheng, because he heard Ying Fusu's footsteps.
When Ying Fusu, who was walking in vain, appeared in front of Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng had already restored his majestic appearance as the First Emperor.
Ying Fusu was a little sluggish and saluted mechanically.
"Meet my father."
Looking at Ying Fusu's appearance, Ying Zheng felt a little distressed.
He wanted to say something to comfort his eldest son, but when those words came out of his mouth, they automatically turned into a scolding.
"Look at what you are like now! You are sluggish at the slightest setback! You are useless!"
Gai Nie stood quietly aside, seemingly unfazed.
His emotionless face was enough to cover up ninety-nine percent of his emotions.
Outside Zhangtai Palace.
Zhao Gao and Li Si said: "Your Majesty has spoken."
Li Si quickly shook his sleeves and bowed as if the First Emperor was right in front of him.
"I listen."
That respectful attitude was exactly the same as Zhao Gao's, making Zhao Gao feel like he was looking in the mirror.
"His Majesty said: 'If it is because of the arrest, you will come to see me tomorrow.' I wonder what Li Tingwei wants to report? Is it consistent with what Your Majesty said?"
Li Si saw Ying Fusu enter Zhangtai Palace with his own eyes and knew that Ying Zheng could not spare time to see him for the time being.
But when it comes to showing loyalty, of course the sooner the better, so there’s no point in doing it every other night?
"Yes and no, this matter is of great importance. Si dare not return home and can only speak to His Majesty. Please tell Mr. Zhao on your behalf. Si will be waiting here today. He must see Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao entered Zhangtai Palace again.
After a while, Zhao Gao returned.
"Excuse me, Li Tingwei, please wait here."
"promise."
In the Qin Dynasty, the subordinates should respond to the superiors, and the juniors should respond to the elders, which is called "Wei".
Among peers at the same level, the word "nuo" is used to respond.
The idiom "weinuonuo" comes from these two echoing words.
Outside Zhangtai Palace.
A group of Langguan stood proudly holding long swords and wearing leather armor.
They are dark-skinned but strong in body and in excellent spirits.
The officials who could be selected to protect the First Emperor were all elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield!
On the left side of the palace entrance, Zhao Gao stood there, standing even straighter than the other officials.
As long as he was not in front of the First Emperor, Zhao Gao's back could straighten up.
Li Si was puzzled when he saw Zhao Gao coming in and then not going in again.
Zhao Gaonai is carrying out the seal and talisman order. Why don't you accompany His Majesty inside? Could it be that Your Majesty wants to talk to the eldest son alone?
With this thought, Li Si also stood on the right side of the palace entrance.
He was slightly stooped, and since entering Xianyang Palace, his stature has become a bit shorter.
He didn't know that Zhao Gao was no longer the official seal official.
And the new official seal order was Gai Nie, who he began to think would bring danger to the First Emperor.
If he had known this a long time ago, he would definitely re-examine the relationship between Ying Zheng and Ying Chengxuan.
Of course, this will not change his current position in Xianyang Palace, but it will only allow him to change his draft.
This time the Meng family’s target was not him, but what about next time? What about next time? He didn't want to encounter such an embarrassing situation again.
He doesn't want to stop at Tingwei, he wants to be the prime minister who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!
Li Si and Zhao Gao, one on the left and one on the right, were like two door gods, guarding the safety of the First Emperor.
Ironically, according to the original history, it was these two door gods who worked together to force Ying Fusu to death and support Ying Huhai, the eighteenth son of the First Emperor, to ascend to the throne, which led to the death of the Qin Empire II.
Two hours ago, Wu'an Jun's Mansion.
"If you keep Fusu, Qin will not die after two generations, right?"
Ying Chengyu picked out a piece of tiger meat from the hot pot, covered it with sauce, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Tigers, which are now national first-level protected animals, could be eaten as long as they were caught and beaten to death in the Qin Dynasty.
The heat of the hot pot and the aroma of tiger meat filled every inch of Ying Chengyu's mouth, making him hooked.
The drunkard who accompanied Ying Chengyu to eat hot pot had stopped drinking and his eyes were shining.
"Death in the second generation? Is what your Majesty said true?"
"You're so excited!"
Ying Cheng slapped him angrily.
The drunkard tilted his head and dodged easily.
"If Qin falls, won't I, the Chang'an Lord of Qin, lose everything? Who will find you a drink then?"
The drunkard said seriously: "As long as your Majesty's words can be fulfilled, I don't have to drink."
