good news?
Chen Ke looked at Fusu with a confused look on his face: "What's the good news?"
He turned around and walked in, while shaking off Fusu's hand, wondering how to continue to trick those clans.
Fusu followed Chen Ke with no trace of annoyance on his face.
He just said: "Teacher, aren't you going to the local area to find a pilot for the county guard?"
"After careful consideration, my father decided to merge the three counties of Jiaodong, Linzi and Langya into one Zhili county, and set up the post of governor."
"The position of governor will be yours."
He said with a smile: "Furthermore, in order to protect you, my father decided to call you "Uncle". "
"He also said that as long as you like the place, I can give you a reward."
Chen Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't pay too much attention to this matter.
The Bo at this time was different from the previous Bo during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Bo during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period had a fiefdom and could truly exercise their power.
The uncle under the First Emperor is just a title and an honor.
Dingtian has a fiefdom, but he cannot exercise any power and can only enjoy the food in this area.
That's all.
only.....
A place flashed through Chen Ke's mind. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty really said that you can let me choose the place at will?"
Fusu looked at Chen Ke's expression, a hint of curiosity flashed across his face, but he did not inquire in depth.
He just nodded: "These words come from my father's mouth, of course there are no mistakes or omissions."
"But, teacher, do you have something you want?"
Chen Ke nodded slightly, walked quickly to the study, and wrote a few words on the table.
Then he gave the handwriting to Fusu.
"Ask your Majesty if this place is okay."
Fusu lowered his head, looked at it carefully, and said with some surprise: "Teacher, this place is not too famous."
"Why did you choose this place?"
Chen Ke shook his head slightly: "It's just a little sustenance for the past."
He yawned: "By the way, I heard that Young Master Jiang Lu is back. How are you getting along with him?"
Hearing Jiang Lu's name, Fusu couldn't help curling his lips, with a little helplessness on his face.
"Ninth brother, that's what he looks like anyway."
"I don't have much friendship with him. He has been wandering around since he was a child. He said he wanted to travel around the world in search of "books" and "knowledge" that could move him. "
"When I came back this time, I said I had met a teacher outside."
"I asked him what the teacher's name was, but he didn't tell me. He just said that the teacher had passed away long ago and he just saw the mantle left by the old man."
"He saluted the mantle and felt that he met the old man's conditions for choosing a disciple, so he considered himself that disciple."
Chen Ke raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything.
"I see."
"But bringing Mr. Lu back is a good thing for the Qin Dynasty, and it is also a good thing for His Majesty."
Fusu leaned back, leaned against Ping Ji behind him and said with a smile, "Teacher, do you think this is a good thing for me?"
Chen Ke blinked: "Why not?"
"After Mr. Jiang Lu comes back, as long as he has no intention of fighting for power, he will be your best helper."
"Of course, if he has the intention to fight for power, he will be your best helper."
Chen Ke smiled slightly: "If he wants to fight for power, he must do what he is doing well. If he can't do what he is doing well, why should he come to fight with you?"
"Fusu."
"You are His Majesty's eldest son, and even more so His Majesty's legitimate son."
"When facing something, your mind should be as broad as the sea. Only in this way can your brothers surrender."
"If you have more friends, won't you have fewer enemies?"
Chen Ke reached out and patted Fusu's hand.
"Whether it's Jiang Lu, Hu Hai, or your other brothers, as long as you can tolerate them, they will be your best helpers."
"certainly--"
When Chen Ke said this, he smiled dumbly: "The premise of these is that you must be strong and able to suppress them."
"If you can't suppress it, then you will slowly nourish their ambitions."
"The day their ambitions burst out is the day you lose your power and status."
Chen Ke said with a smile: "So, do you have the confidence?"
Fusu looked into Chen Ke's smiling eyes, with a little calmness and confidence on his face: "If I don't even have this confidence, how can I be worthy of becoming the teacher's disciple?"
Master and disciple looked at each other and smiled.

Prime Minister's Office
Li Si looked at the document in his hand, smacked his lips, and handed the document to Cao Shen beside him.
"Here, His Majesty's decree is to reward that boy Chen Ke."
"I'm afraid that in a few days, we will have to call him County Uncle Chen."
Cao Shen modified the imperial edict and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, you said you were worried about Chen Shaofu before, but now you don't have to worry."
Worry?
Li Si curled his lips. He didn't believe that this boy didn't see the mystery.
I'm just pretending not to know at this time.
He said with emotion: "This kid Chen Ke insists on going to a place where he can better implement his policies."
"It's also a good thing."
"I'm also very curious about how many fantastic ideas he still has in his heart."
He laughed faintly and continued to deal with the things in his hands.
.........
Time passes in a hurry, especially during these days of the New Year, time passes even faster.
Today is already the evening of December 30th, and there are already very few pedestrians on the street.
Chen Ke was wandering around outside with his sleeves rolled up. A few days ago, Ying Zheng saw that he was alone and wanted him to go to the palace to celebrate the New Year together like last year.
But Chen Ke refused.
This year is different from last year. Last year, he felt that the year was the same no matter where he was, but this year it was different.
He still felt that he would spend this year at his own home.
Even if he was the only one in that house, it seemed cold and cold.
Are you celebrating the New Year? Only in this way can you feel like celebrating the New Year.
There was a candlelight fluttering in the cold winter wind in the distance, and a stall was not closed yet. In the stall, a couple stood there, walking back and forth.
It's really too cold today.
"You haven't gone back yet?"
Chen Ke walked in and asked with a smile: "It's Chinese New Year today, why are you still outside?"
In the stall, my wife had a sheepish smile on her face.
"Isn't this not sold out yet?"
"Say that you will leave after selling this last portion, so as not to go back with your things."
Chen Ke smiled when he heard this and said immediately: "Then make it for me, and I will try your craftsmanship."
The couple looked quite old. There were layers of wrinkles on their faces, but they didn't look old.
After a while, a soup cake came up.
Layers of white mist on the pottery bowl floated upwards along the cold wind, and a faint fragrance echoed in this small street.
Chen Ke sat on the stool.
This thing has been widely spread in various places since he invented it.
"call--"
Chen Ke blew a breath, trying to blow away the white mist on the bowl.
He picked up the kuaizi beside him and ate silently.
When the couple saw him eating, they put away their things with a very kind smile and discussed something in a low voice.
Chen Ke had sharp ears, and the couple's few words reached his ears.
"The boss should be back too. I've been busy for a year, so it's time to take a few days' rest."
"Why rest? We have to do something during the Chinese New Year."
"Why are you working so hard? Are your lives at risk?"
"Do you really think you are like you were when you were young?"
"Besides, do you know?"
"This holiday was personally invited by the young master for everyone in the world. Not just us, even those who are officials need to take a rest."
"Hey, okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
"But Mr. Chen is really a good person. If it weren't for him, our family would have been without food since last year."
Chen Ke listened to this and ate the hot food with a smile.
He doesn't care whether others praise him or talk about him.
But Chen Ke cares about whether he has really brought a better life to others, and whether everything he has done is really beneficial to the people of the world.
Just after they finished eating, the husband of the couple came over with something in his hand.
He smiled and looked kind, and the wrinkles on his face showed that he had gone through many hardships.
In this cold wind, it seems a bit warm.
"This young man, you're celebrating the New Year, why are you wandering outside by yourself?"
The old man said kindly: "Don't get angry with your family and go back as soon as possible."
He placed a pheasant egg (egg) in front of Chen Ke's table, looked at Chen Ke who had finished eating and said, "Eating an egg can also warm you up."
"We have to close the stall too, so I'll leave it to you."
The two people pulled the stall away silently, leaving only Chen Ke standing there after finishing the meal, holding a pheasant egg in his hand.
Chen Ke looked at the two hunched figures, as if he saw the figures of all the people in the world.
For him, the life in the court, the life of scheming with ministers, and the life of glory and wealth are not the most important.
For Chen Ke, this mediocre life, a life as ordinary as this pheasant egg, is what he likes most.
Holding the pheasant egg in his hand, Chen Ke walked towards the mansion with a smile.
The old things in the city are passing year by year, and this year has passed with the spring breeze that has not yet arrived in winter.
...........
A mansion
Ziying looked at the old man in front of him with some confusion on his face: "Why do we want to be enemies of His Majesty?"
"Isn't it good to listen to His Majesty's words carefully?"
The old man in front of him stroked his head, with a slightly dull look on his face.
“We can’t just live an ordinary life if we want to.”
He smiled and said, "Zi Ying, that seat is so cold that it can freeze the heart of the person sitting on it to stone."
"We have to save our lives."
