Ying Zheng suddenly said that he wanted to retire, which really shocked everyone, and they couldn't calm down for a long time!

"I ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and it has been more than forty years now. I am really tired! Feiyu is almost nine years old now, and in three years, he will be almost 12, almost the same as when I ascended the throne... !”

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking of the scene when he first ascended the throne, and then continued: "Feiyu has only been in power for three years, but he has opened up and expanded the territory of our Qin Dynasty, which has made a qualitative leap in the lives of the people. I believe that in three years, he will be able to surpass me and become a qualified and good emperor!"

When Ying Feiyu first returned to the court, Ying Zheng didn't think much about it. He just felt that he owed the two of them and wanted to give them some compensation.

In addition, this boy claimed that he had a divine master who could know the past and present, and he wanted to take him back to the palace for detailed questioning.

Unexpectedly, this boy would not stop as soon as he entered the palace. He showed his talents everywhere, making him and all the ministers look up to him with admiration!

Now, in only three years, the people's hearts have been restored and the courtiers have surrendered. He will definitely be a good emperor in the future.

And he can live an easy life for a few years!

"What? Daddy scumbag... uh... no, no, no, father, you... what did you say?"

What Ying Zheng said before was enough to make Ying Feiyu confused. Unexpectedly, what he said next made his heart beat wildly. He accidentally mentioned the name "Scumbag Daddy". Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Change your words quickly.

"Have I not made it clear enough? You are the prince, and it is only a matter of time that you inherit the throne! Rather than inheriting the throne sooner or later, it is better to take it over earlier, and I will be able to relax for a few years!"

Ying Zheng grimaced and spoke in a deep voice, without the slightest hint of joking.

"Inherit the throne? Ahem...!"

After hearing this word, Ying Feiyu was so frightened that he coughed.

Good guy, is the throne of this era so worthless? Just let it out?

Or give it to a child?

Are you kidding me?

He was barely able to be a prince, let alone an emperor!

What kind of life is it for a human being to be surrounded by palace walls all day long, stuck in memorials, having to fight wits and courage with those ministers, while the concubines in the harem are jealous and scheming against each other?

Thinking of this, Ying Feiyu refused even more, with reluctance written all over his face, "Father, my son is still young and it is difficult to inherit the throne. Father is in his prime, and there is no problem if he continues to work for another twenty years!"

"Hmph! Don't think that I don't know what your kid is thinking. I will pass the throne to you as soon as possible so that you can calm down and avoid running away all the time!"

After all, the two of them had been together for three years. How could he not know what this kid was thinking?

When other princes were as old as him, they spent all day either practicing riding, archery, martial arts, or studying hard.

This kid is good. He is either wandering around Xianyang or enjoying himself in other gardens. He lives a comfortable life.

After passing on the throne, this boy also has a sense of responsibility, and he will think more about Da Qin in the future!

"Father, my son is not running away just for fun! It is for the development of Great Qin...!"

Speaking of which, Ying Feiyu was really unjust. He had been busy all day and hit the back of the head with his feet. Unexpectedly, in Ying Zheng's eyes, it turned out to be just for fun?

"Father, if I don't go out, how can I develop those thermal weapons, how can I develop things like steam engines and bicycles? If I don't go out, how can I develop Great Qin's business?"

When he thought about this old guy asking him to be the emperor, he felt dizzy and quickly explained, which made other old guys even more confused.

Good guys, their eyes were really opened today!

It is already a strange thing that the emperor takes the initiative to seek the Zen throne.

What's even more surprising is that the prince still refuses to accept the offer and shirks it in every possible way!

Who would believe this?

"After your son ascends the throne, it will not delay your research on these things, let alone your business development!"

Ying Zheng had a tough tone and a very determined attitude.

"Father, you have finally unified the six countries, and there are still many things to do. It is not too late to consider the Zen position after all these things are completed!"

"Now that the country is stable, what else is going on?"

"Uh...increase food production and keep the people fed and clothed!"

In desperation, Ying Feiyu's mind raced rapidly and he quickly made excuses.

"Didn't you see it when we were in Yanmen County? I can't even finish the food for the people at the border. How can I increase food production? Besides, Fusu has been leading the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to do some hybridization and cultivate new Varieties, people will still worry about food in the future...?"

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at him and continued: "Don't even mention wearing warm clothes. People are planting cotton in large quantities. When cutting cotton clothes, you can make them as thick as you want. The clothes you wear are warmer than mine!"

"Um... In addition to this, there is also... the construction of the Great Wall. The Great Wall can resist foreign enemies. My father must complete it!"

"The Great Wall? Humph! Our Great Qin is bounded by the sea to the east and south, so we don't need the Great Wall for defense. The Xiongnu in the north are already our counties in Great Qin, and the Yueshi in the west have been wiped out, and now only the Western Qiang are left. !”

"Yes, yes, this is the Xiqiang. My father has to build the Great Wall all the way to Xiang County, without giving the Xiqiang an opportunity!"

Ying Feiyu pretended to have a very serious expression and said seriously.

As if Xiqiang is some extremely powerful enemy!

"Haha, you kid, hurry up and pull him down. Don't try to use this to delay time. I have also ordered the household department to prepare food and grass. I will send troops to the Western Qiang in the spring of next year to clean up the entire Western Qiang and even all the countries in the Western Regions. Look at you kid. What else can you use as an excuse!"

Ying Zheng was so angry that he sneered.

It’s really not easy for this kid to come up with so many excuses in order to not be the emperor!

But what he said is nothing to the current Da Qin!

And all the ministers were shaking their heads from side to side, watching the father and son pushing the throne back and forth!

"Father, even if the Western Qiang and other countries in the Western Regions are wiped out, there are still big countries like the Maurya Dynasty. You still have to take care of all the other countries!"

"Okay, you kid wants to directly become the master of the world! What a beautiful idea! You kid knows more about war than I do! At the age of five and a half, you defeated General Wang in the war chess game and led the troops to pacify Lingnan. The rebellion, the extermination of the Huns, the sweeping of Wo Island, etc., have you forgotten...?"

Ying Zheng waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, don't bargain with me here. It's only three years. When you reach retirement age, no matter how far Great Qin develops, you will take over!"

"But……"

"It doesn't have to be! I have made up my mind!"

Ying Feiyu wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Ying Zheng. He then glanced at the important ministers present and said, "This is the highest secret in the court. No one is allowed to tell it to outsiders. If I hear any rumors, you guys should get to know them first." Is your head still there?”

"yes!"

Several old guys were frightened by Ying Zheng's blow.

Their boss is not a vegetarian, he will definitely do it when he says it!

In fact, even if Ying Zheng didn't say anything, none of them would dare to reveal it without authorization.

If someone knows about it, Bao Buqi will take advantage of this loophole and go to the DPRK to instigate, causing the country to be shaken!

Da Qin's ability to unify the six kingdoms and achieve today's prosperity is inseparable from their efforts, and they do not want to see the country shake!
