I saw that the imperial edict was completely blank, and there were no positions at all.
This confused Chen Ke. Of course he would not think that this edict was to deceive him or to do something to him.
But it still made Chen Ke's mind rarely slow for a moment.
He scratched his head, but before he had time to think about anything, he saw someone walking out of Xianyang Palace.
This man was slightly bent over, and his clothes were all gray, looking like a misty blue sky.
This person's steps are slightly faster, but his overall movements do not appear cramped.
Han Tan.
Han Tan walked up to Chen Ke and smiled before saying anything: "Feng Chang, you are walking too fast."
His eyes turned slightly, and he saw the imperial edict that had been opened in Chen Ke's hand, and immediately said: "Feng Chang must have seen this imperial edict before."
"What do you mean by your Majesty? It's actually very simple."
Han Tan pointed to the blank space on the imperial edict and the jade seal that had been covered in the corner and said, "Your Majesty has already ordered the Prime Minister to draft the text. There is only one position that has not been filled in."
"Your Majesty means that there are only a few positions suitable for you now."
"These things will need to be handled by you in the future, and you will need to be busy."
"His Majesty said that he wouldn't worry about it anymore. He would throw the problem to you from the beginning and let you think about it yourself."
Chen Ke frowned slightly, looked at Han Tan and said, "Your Majesty said so?"
Han Tan bent over slightly and said with a smile: "His Majesty's exact words were, "Isn't that kid smart? Let him worry about this matter by himself."
"No matter what he does, he must satisfy those old guys Li Si and Wang Jian." "
""I won't do this kind of thing that offends people." "
""Just tell that kid, whether it's Prime Minister Zuo, a royal censor, or he's just trying to get a position by himself, in short, as long as he's satisfied with it."
After Han Tan finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Chen Ke's response.
Chen Ke looked at the thing in his hand and exhaled slightly, with a slight heaviness on his face.
Let yourself determine your position?
This was really a bit difficult for him, or a bit scary for Chen Ke.
Now this is undoubtedly a sign that the emperor is reassured about himself, but what about in the future?
What if His Majesty the First Emperor changes in the future?
Although the eternal emperor in history will not change much, no one can guarantee it with certainty.
Now he, the butterfly, has flapped his wings and changed the entire Da Qin.
Then there is no guarantee that His Majesty the First Emperor, the Lord of the Qin Dynasty, will not change. Even if he does not change, this is a very dangerous thing for Chen Ke.
He is a person who is afraid of trouble, so he wants to avoid trouble as much as possible.
But trouble eventually came.
It came unexpectedly.
After a moment of silence, Chen Ke said: "In that case, I will do what your Majesty wants."
Chen Ke sighed and said softly: "Please inform Your Majesty that Chen Ke has not yet made a clear decision in his mind. Tomorrow, Chen Ke will definitely go to Zhangtai Palace in person to make it clear to His Majesty."
Han Tan nodded slightly and responded: "Here."
After Han Tan left, Chen Ke stood on the long street with his hands behind his back. The street was still very noisy, but for Chen Ke at this time, it seemed like a world away.
He sighed quietly, and then said: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, how can I live up to your Majesty's trust?"
In fact, Chen Ke understood the purpose of the First Emperor's actions.
It was not to express his favor for himself, nor to impress himself. The emperor's meaning was very obvious, that is, you are a great talent, and I don't know how to use you.
But I know how to put you in the right place.
A position that can contribute to Da Qin.
Chen Ke shook his head slightly and walked towards his mansion, with a little sadness and helplessness in his eyes.
"Your Majesty is probably not the one who wants to pay such attention."
As Chen Ke walked, he lowered his head and thought about this matter.
He doesn't know Ying Zheng very well, but this style of conduct is not Ying Zheng's style.
Ying Zheng is a man who is fierce, fierce and open-minded. If it were Ying Zheng who did this, he would have thrown the problem directly in front of Chen Ke.
Ask him directly and clearly, what do you want to do, I support you.
That's it.
But the current method is more tactful and delicate, which is not what Ying Zheng can do.
In Chen Ke's mind, a figure gradually emerged.
That person has such a delicate mind, and he can do such innocuous little things.
Fusu.
Thinking of this name, Chen Ke suddenly smiled dumbly. When he thought of this name, he immediately determined that the initiator of this matter must be Fusu.
He didn't feel angry at being plotted against, nor helpless at being teased by one of his own, nor sad at being "calculated" by his apprentice.
Some are just free and easy, and there is also a little emotion.
Once upon a time, Fusu, who was originally like a blank sheet of paper, had changed. He had become more strategic and had some royal power?
Today, Chen Ke only feels a sense of excitement and happiness that "my family has a child who has just grown up."
Although Fusu was similar in age to him, he was just like a child in the past. He taught Fusu and turned the simple Fusu from the very beginning into a Fusu who had the embryonic form of a king.
This is his pride as a master.
"A disciple does not have to be inferior to a teacher, and a teacher does not have to be better than a disciple."
"There is a certain order of learning, and there is a specialization in the art."
That's all.
He, Chen Ke, is not good at these things. Although he is able to twist and turn these conspiracies, he doesn't like it and is not good at doing it.
Understanding and doing have always been separate things.
Chen Ke hummed a little tune and walked towards his mansion in the distance, with little bits of relief and smile on his eyebrows.
.........
Come to the erotic palace
Hu Hai looked at the homework spread out in front of him and squatted down in a state of collapse.
After Chen Ke arrived, he checked his homework and found that although most of it was completed, there were some problems with a small part.
It's just that I didn't write with intention or seriousness, and I made some mistakes where I shouldn't have.
Chen Ke, who simply wanted to cause trouble for Hu Hai, immediately grasped the problem and asked Hu Hai to write all the problematic homework five times.
It is euphemistically called "I can be wrong about all these issues, but it seems that the impression is not deep enough."
"Let's deepen the impression a little bit."
The words Chen Ke said before leaving were echoing in Hu Hai's mind, and his heart was already breaking into eight pieces, but there was nothing he could do.
Fusu, who was standing by the side, covered his mouth with his fist and chuckled.
He felt a little sorry for Hu Hai, but he didn't dare to ask the teacher to intercede at this time. After all, although the teacher wouldn't care about him poking at him, he would definitely "hold a grudge."
After all, "care" and "revenge" are not necessarily related.
He didn't want the teacher to seize the opportunity and punish him after a lesson.
So, he could only step forward, patted Hu Hai on the shoulder and said, "Brother Hai, it's okay. It's just five days of schoolwork."
"Think about it, if your father hadn't held the teacher back for a while, you wouldn't have been able to finish your recent homework."
"If the teacher discovers that you haven't done your homework these days..."
Fusu's tone was meaningful, and Hu Hai immediately understood what Fusu meant, and the collapse in his heart eased a little.
"Eldest brother is right!"
"It's just a few days of schoolwork, I'll be fine!"
...........
Zhangtai Palace
After Fusu left Laichun Palace, he went straight to Zhangtai Palace in order to report to Ying Zheng about his teacher and Hu Hai.
Besides, of course he also has some selfish motives.
In the palace
Ying Zheng was standing in front of the Kanyu map, looking at the Kanyu map with Da Qin marked on it, with excitement and joy that could not be hidden in his brows.
"Fusu, look."
He pointed to the grassland and said: "Actually, my original plan was to station at the border and solve the problem of Baiyue, and then deal with the Huns."
"After all, the strength of the Xiongnu is much stronger than that of Baiyue."
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, and then said: "Later, because of some news brought back by your teacher and Xu Fu, I realized how wrong this decision was."
"Although the Baiyue land is not as well-armed as the Xiongnu, let alone the Qin Dynasty, the Baiyue land is full of miasma. If you are not careful, you will be poisoned by the miasma."
"If we attack Baiyue rashly, I'm afraid countless armies will be lost in Baiyue."
There was a touch of heartache and fear in his eyes: "Wang Jian asked for orders to attack Baiyue. After all, only Wang Jian could handle such a big war."
"You should also know what Wang Jian's body looks like."
"If I'm not careful, I'm afraid I will be buried in the land of Baiyue."
"If so..."
Thinking of this possibility, Ying Zheng felt a twinge of fear in his heart. He was not worried about a mutiny in the army after Wang Jian's death, but he just didn't want Wang Jian to die because of one of his wrong decisions.
Wang Jian was mostly a friend to him.
In other words, it is a relationship of both teacher and friend.
Fusu stood there with an equally heavy heart: "Father, things have not developed that way now. Isn't this a good thing?"
"Why bother thinking about things that are already in the past?"
"If people are always depressed about things that may have happened in the past but have not happened now, then people will just be stuck in the past."
There was a hint of freedom and admonishment in Fusu's voice.
"Now that the Xiongnu has taken over, the teacher must be aware of Baiyue. In that case, why should we stick to the past?"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said with a smile: "As you get older, you will recall the past."
He touched the Kanyu map with his hand and said with some emotion: "I am now at this age, and I have basically finished what I should do in this life."
In fact, Ying Zheng has never given up on immortality in his heart, but after Chen Ke's many hints, he is no longer obsessed with immortality.
He was able to face his own aging and the possibility of his own demise.
As a result, Ying Zheng at this time became more awake, wiser, more terrifying, and more unpredictable.
He turned his head and looked at Fusu who was standing there: "Maybe the world in the future will be yours."
This was the first time the subject had been discussed between father and son, but it definitely wouldn't be the last.
There was dignity and solemnity in Ying Zheng's voice.
"Maybe it will be someone else's."
"No one can be sure of this until the last day."
Ying Zheng said unhurriedly: "And I will try my best to complete my own affairs and do what I can do."
"Leave you, or your successors, with a slightly more stable environment, an environment where you can flourish your ambitions."
"This is the last thing a parent can do."
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "You don't have to think about surpassing me, because what I have done cannot be surpassed."
"No one can surpass it."
This was the first time that Ying Zheng confided in his son, and his voice was so domineering and arrogant.
But even as modest as Fusu, he didn't think these words were arrogant.
Unify the world that has been divided for thousands of years, unify the world, sweep across the world, and prevent the Central Plains from falling apart.
He proclaimed himself emperor and destroyed the Xiongnu in the north.
The discovery of the Yin-Shang Continent brought the majesty of the Qin Dynasty across the ocean to another land.
Why can't my father, who may conquer more lands in the future, say that he is unsurpassed?
Even if he or his descendants can achieve some achievements, I am afraid they will not be able to match his father.
He looked at Ying Zheng and originally wanted to say this, but he seemed to be infected by Ying Zheng's heroic spirit and said involuntarily: "Father, my son will look at your back and keep chasing after you."
"Maybe one day, my son will be able to stand side by side with you."
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and stared into his eyes with a majestic and solemn expression: "Along with me?"
He sneered: "While I'm alive, I may be able to conquer all the lands I can see and conquer the thousands of mountains and rivers."
"What do you want to do with me?"
Fusu smiled slightly. Although he was modest and not as domineering as Ying Zheng, his tone still sounded firm.
"Then my son will conquer the sky, conquer the stars, and conquer everything in the sky as far as the eye can see."
"So, maybe tied with father?"
The names and self-identification of the two people had changed unconsciously. At this time, it was not the First Emperor and the eldest son of Qin who were discussing this issue, but Ying Zheng and his son Fusu.
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed.
"Hahahahahahahaha, okay, okay, okay."
"In this case, I am waiting for this day!"
At this time, Ying Zheng was finally satisfied with Fusu because he saw Fusu's domineering power hidden beneath his humility.
No, maybe not domineering, but kingly!
Outer saint, inner king!
This is what Chen Ke promised to him before! Now Chen Ke has really taught Fusu like this!
Compared with his own tyranny, what a qualified successor should do more is to be a saint within and king outside!
Only in this way can we stabilize the country and deter enemies from the outside.
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and said directly: "The day after tomorrow at the court meeting, you will be the crown prince of Qin!"
