The next day, Li Zhao was taken to the back hall of Zhangtai Palace, where Qin Shi Huang temporarily rested.
Li Zhao was very puzzled. He was named the eldest son's scholar. How could he be brought here? Shouldn't it be the eldest son's palace? But don’t think too much about it.
"Xuan Li Zhao appears in court!"
"Li Zhaokow to meet His Majesty."
After Li Zhao came in, he knelt down and saluted, but he glanced at the hall unconsciously from the corner of his eyes. He was shocked for a moment and thought: This is the place where Qin Shihuang works. It is grand and generous. It is really grand. It is a pity that it will be there three years later. Will be burned to ashes by Xiang Yu.
What?
Ying Zheng was originally very happy to be sitting in a high position, but when he suddenly heard such thoughts, his face was filled with black lines, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he secretly said:
What is this kid thinking about? Who is Xiang Yu? Is it true that our country, Great Qin, will perish in three years?
Xiang Yu, surnamed Xiang, could he be a descendant of Xiang Yan?
"This is not a court. There is no need to be polite. Get up!" Ying Zheng forced a smile and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Zhao stood up.
At this time, a waiter came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the eldest young master has an audience!"
"Oh!" Ying Zheng gave a rare smile, "Pass it in."
When Li Zhao heard this, his heart moved: Mr. Fusu, what a celebrity! I don’t know what he looks like? He should be as handsome as Qin Shihuang!
Ying Zheng smiled slightly. He liked to hear these inner activities. Of course, his son must be handsome like him.
"But so what if he is handsome? Even if he is the eldest son, he cannot succeed to the throne."
What?
Ying Zheng was shocked and secretly wondered why this boy was here again. How could the eldest son he was optimistic about not succeed to the throne? He put a lot of effort into cultivating it.
Suddenly, he remembered what Li Zhao said yesterday: Qin II was tyrannical, but Fusu was not a tyrant. Could it be said that Qin II was not Fusu?
boom!
This is a big deal.
The heir he had cultivated so painstakingly could not succeed to the throne? How can this be?
No, this kid must have made random predictions and couldn't count.
Ying Zheng consoled himself.
"After being demoted to the north by Qin Shihuang, he was sentenced to death by Qin II, poor man!" At this moment, Li Zhao couldn't help but express sympathy for Fusu who was about to show up.
But when Ying Zheng heard this, his face turned pale and he felt extremely desolate.
Qin II is really not Fusu, so which of his sons will succeed him, and who will kill Fusu?
No, it's absolutely not true. My sons are all loyal, united and friendly. Infighting will never happen, and I will never allow such a thing to happen.
For sure, this kid just made random guesses.
hateful!
It took a long time for Ying Zheng to calm down.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked in, dressed in Confucian attire, with an elegant manner, and bowed respectfully.
"Sure enough, he is as handsome as me." Li Zhao admired Fusu when he saw him.
After some courtesy, Fusu glanced at Li Zhao, slightly surprised, but quickly turned his head away.
"Father, I have something to report."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Whether it's state affairs or family affairs, we'll discuss them later. I'll introduce someone to you first."
"This is Li Zhao, the book boy I found for you."
Um! Fusu took a serious look at Li Zhao, quite surprised, and secretly thought that his father actually found a bookboy for him, which was rare! It’s also certain that this kid must have something special about him.
Li Zhao quickly saluted Fusu.
"No need to be polite!" Fusu waved his hand, turned around, and said eagerly, "Father, this matter of your son and minister is very important, and you must make the decision."
Li Zhao sighed secretly, the eldest son is really pedantic. He is still so persistent even though Qin Shihuang has rejected it. Doesn't this mean to anger Qin Shihuang?
Sure enough, Ying Zheng's face dropped and he looked extremely angry. However, he still waved his hand and said, "Say it!"
"Two things, one family and one country."
Li Zhao also sighed after hearing this: Two more things? Didn’t you see that Qin Shihuang had already had an attack? It seems that you must give him some guidance when you become a book boy in the future, otherwise you will definitely be harmed.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard Li Zhao's thoughts, secretly thinking that Li Zhao was still alert. In fact, this was the purpose of recruiting Li Zhao.
"Father, do you still remember the jade statues I mentioned to you before? I specially ordered a large number of them to be purchased in order to earn some subsidies for internal funds. However, the jade market has been flooded recently, and the price of jade statues has dropped sharply. At this price ,we......."
As he spoke, Fusu's voice became smaller and smaller.
Fusu was already a filial man, but when faced with an empty treasury and a shortage of funds within the royal family, he immediately shared his father's worries, and he didn't know who to listen to, so he ordered a large number of jade statues.
Maybe it’s the celebrity effect! Some manufacturers saw that the eldest son was targeting the market, so they produced large quantities of jade, which led to the proliferation of jade even when business was suppressed.
Fusu mentioned this matter to Ying Zheng at that time, and it was still money provided from internal funds.
Ying Zheng frowned and asked after a while: "What do you think?"
"My son thinks that he should sell the jade statue immediately and stop the loss in time."
"Stop the loss in time?" Ying Zheng frowned deeper and did not respond immediately, his face became even more angry.
Li Zhao was surprised to hear that the Qin Dynasty, which focused on agriculture and suppressed commerce, would also experience market flooding, and the protagonist was a stubborn young master.
It’s a bit strange!
etc!
Suddenly, Li Zhao seemed to have thought of something. He narrowed his eyes, tilted his head, and tried hard to find the memory of studying the history of Great Qin.
"There seems to have been some commercial incidents related to jade statues in the late Qin Dynasty. By the way, the royal family purchased a large number of jade statues at that time, which caused the proliferation of jade articles and caused the price of jade articles to depreciate significantly, to the point where no one cared about them."
"Haha! I didn't expect that it was Fusu who did it. It seems that he must have been instigated by someone."
"Instigated by others?" When Ying Zheng heard his voice, his expression suddenly changed, and he glared at Fusu fiercely.
"As for who instigated it, it is not difficult to guess. When the Qin Dynasty did not suppress business, commercial activities were extremely prosperous. The merchants made a lot of money, so that their status soared. The powerful and powerful people realized that their status was threatened, so the country had A policy that favors agriculture and suppresses business.”
"Of course, the businessmen are unwilling to be deprived of their vested interests, or the pedantic Fusu is favored by them, so this may be a trigger!"
What?
After hearing Li Zhao's analysis, Ying Zheng's scalp went numb, his expression became extremely nervous, and his anger grew stronger.
It's unreasonable for a master to use his son to rebel against national policy. This is definitely a conspiracy. It's rebellion, it's rebellion.
Ying Zheng was very violent inside.
However, this is not the time to care about this issue. What matters is his internal money, which is already very empty. He spent almost all of it to buy the jade statue. If he sells it at a loss, it will cost the royal family.
This is not the main thing. The main thing is that now that the market is flooded, can his jade statues still be sold?
