Prince of Qin?
This title was so strong that even Fusu was a little surprised. In addition to being surprised, it was also somewhat expected.
The First Emperor is already old, and as time goes by, Great Qin needs a prince. Otherwise, after a hundred years of the First Emperor, there will be no one in charge of Great Qin.
There should have been a prince long ago.
The prince is the crown prince of a country. In the past, although Fusu had the actual title of crown prince, he did not have the title of crown prince.
Without the name of the prince, if someone wants to frame Fusu in the future, it will be easy and effortless, and it will not even require much effort.
Fusu bowed slightly, with a calm look on his face.
"My son, I obey."
It's not any other words of thanks or flattery, but a simple sentence: "I obey your orders."
He has no humility and does not need to be humble.
The position of the prince should have been Fusu's.
Under Chen Ke's training, Fusu was no longer the Fusu who didn't fight for anything, and could give up everything to his brothers, or even give in to others with humility.
He knows the importance of power, and he also knows what would happen if he didn't have power.
Ying Zheng stood there, looking at the people in front of him quietly, with a little emotion and exhaustion on his face.
His child had grown up, and it was at this moment that Ying Zheng realized that Fusu was no longer a child.
He is no longer the child who follows him around and obeys his orders respectfully all the time.
He has truly grown into what a prince should be like.
"Go ahead."
He just waved his hand and let Fusu go down.
Fusu didn't say anything. He knew that his father needed some time to calm down and some time to relax.
Immediately turned around and left.
This is not a power handover ceremony, but Fusu knows the importance of this matter and the importance of today.
Since then, another person has sat on the supreme throne of Da Qin.
Even if this person is not yet able to control the power here.
........
outside the palace
Fusu walked out of Xianyang Palace unknowingly. He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the East Palace behind him. The East Palace stood behind him, looking majestic.
He originally lived in Fuchun Palace. When the court meeting comes tomorrow, he will move to his own East Palace.
The noise on the long street continued. The sound that seemed noisy in the past seemed extremely joyful to Fusu's ears today.
It's like a magpie chirping.
He walked slowly on the street with his hands behind his back, watching people coming and going, watching the pedestrians moving around, and watching the vendors selling their own human fireworks.
After a while, Fusu reached the end of the street.
He looked at the end, then suddenly turned around and walked in the direction of Chen Ke's mansion.
.........
In Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng sat there, surrounded by the extremely silent hall, which looked unusually cold. The candles around him were burning, and some tears from the candles fell on the candlesticks, forming the shape of a lake.
Han Tan stood beside Ying Zheng. He knew what those words he just said meant to Ying Zheng.
He was waiting for Ying Zheng to adjust his emotions.
After a long time, Han Tan heard a sigh.
"well."
Ying Zheng stood up slowly, like a withered mountain.
"Han Tan, you are talking about the method of immortality. Does it exist?"
Ying Zheng's voice was a little tired, and his question seemed to be asked casually, but also seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Han Tan just lowered his head and said softly: "This slave doesn't know..."
"But didn't Chen Fengchang say that?"
"Although there may not be a traditional "immortal" method of immortality in the world, if you study the "rules" to the extreme, maybe you can have immortality that belongs to the "rules"? "
Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly. The moment he closed his eyes, countless memories seemed to swarm in and wrap him up.
"okay."
He smiled brightly: "If not, then there won't be, but I'd better ask Xu Fu to pay attention when he goes to sea."
Ying Zheng said calmly: "It's not difficult to pay attention."
He hammered his waist: "Also, has the news from Northern Xinjiang come back? When will it arrive?"
At this time, it was not Han Tan who answered, but another person in the shadow.
If he didn't make a sound, you wouldn't be able to see him at all in this hall.
Dunruo's voice was extremely low: "Your Majesty, the news from Northern Xinjiang is about to reach the capital. I estimate that it should arrive before the great court meeting tomorrow."
Ying Zheng nodded and said half-complainingly: "Okay, please pay attention to me."
"Chen Ke, this kid, has made enough contributions that he can be promoted to a higher rank."
Having said this, Ying Zheng chuckled.
"I gave him the opportunity to decide on his own official position, so the name of this title means I won't give him the chance."
Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Han Tan: "Han Tan, what do you think the title of this boy Chen Ke should be?"
"According to his military achievements, it should start with "武", indicating his identity and the source of his achievements. "
】
"But he also has such attainments in the field of politics and has made a lot of contributions. If he is only led by Wu, I am afraid it will misunderstand some people who are watching."
Han Tan lowered his head and said with fear in his tone: "Your Majesty is joking. I don't know a single person, how can I speak at the title of Chen Fengchang?"
Ying Zheng smiled: "Forget it, I'll let that boy Chen Ke handle this matter later, so as not to make it unpleasant and he doesn't like it, and then he will complain about me."
.........
General's residence
Wang Jian was lying on the deck chair, which was swaying in the yard. His expression was a little downcast, and he was looking at the yard intently.
"After the Huns are defeated, it will be Baiyue's turn soon."
He sighed: "Back then, I asked for orders to annihilate Baiyue, but now, can my body still support me in defeating Baiyue?"
There was some reluctance in Wang Jian's eyes. He was a military general, and he felt that even if he died, he should die on the battlefield, not on the bed.
The greatest insult to a general is to let him die on his bed
However, Wang Jian also knew very well that if he died on the way to conquer Baiyue, it would be a blow to the morale of Great Qin.
There has been a dilemma since ancient times.
On the one hand is Da Qin, on the other hand is his own destiny and opportunity.
...........
Chen Mansion
Fusu sat there, still a little dazed and happy.
He was happy because a good thing he had never thought of recently happened to him, which made him somewhat unable to control his emotions.
Chen Ke, who was opposite Fusu, couldn't help but smile when he saw Fusu like this.
He shook his head and said: "Your Highness, do you feel that you are particularly excited now, or even feel that you have touched the edge of power?"
Fusu was a little confused: "Teacher, what do you mean...?"
Chen Ke just smiled: "Your Highness, you are just Your Highness now. Maybe in five, ten, even fifteen or twenty years, you will understand."
"Sometimes, after the prince is established, the one who should really breathe a sigh of relief and start to relax is not the prince, but the other princes."
"Those competitors can finally feel free to do what they want to do boldly."
"Because in this state, it is the Crown Prince who should be worried."
"No matter what the prince does, he will be doubted by the person sitting on the throne, doubting his loyalty and doubting whether he wants to take that position in advance."
Chen Ke put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Fusu.
"Your Highness Fusu, can you accept something like this happening?"
"You have grown up day by day, and gradually reached the age of thirty, and then the age of forty. His Majesty the First Emperor is still in control of the Qin Dynasty."
"You can only look up to His Majesty in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity for you to become the emperor and take power."
Chen Ke's voice was hoarse and cold, like a warning and a bit of ridicule.
He sat back and leaned on the back of the chair, with a cold look in his eyes.
"Fusu, can you be the prince for ten years? Can you be the prince for twenty years? Can you be the prince for thirty years?"
"King Zhaoxiang lived for seventy-five years back then, and His Majesty the First Emperor is just over forty now, and he still has thirty-five years to reach King Zhaoxiang's age."
"Fusu, can you be the crown prince for thirty-five years?"
Chen Ke's words were like a knife, piercing Fusu's heart.
Fusu's initial excitement disappeared, and he looked silently at Chen Ke, who was sitting opposite him with a smile on his face, but looked extremely cold.
He calmed down instantly, like a bucket of cold water poured on a flame.
After Fusu was silent for a moment, he said: "Teacher, what can I do even if I have been a prince for thirty-five years?"
He said openly: "Actually, I am not happy because I have controlled the power of the prince, but because my father finally appreciated me."
"This also means that my father feels that I am different from what I used to be. I am a person who can truly take on the responsibility of Da Qin."
"It's precisely because of this that my father made me the prince, isn't it?"
Fusu said calmly: "As for how many years the prince has been, and who is in power in Great Qin, it doesn't matter."
"If possible, I would like to be the prince for the rest of my life. I only want my father to live for the rest of his life. Let alone seventy-five. Even if it is eighty-five, ninety-five, or even a hundred years or a long life, Fusu is willing. "
Chen Ke laughed immediately when he heard Fusu's answer.
He put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Fusu and said, "Hahahahahahaha, okay, okay, okay."
"Fusu, it's a good idea to have this idea."
"The teacher is afraid of what if you can't sit still one day and make some unwise move."
Chen Ke said with a smile: "After all, the teacher is a minister of His Majesty the First Emperor. Even the status of teacher is what His Majesty ordered me to do."
The meaning of these words was unclear, but Fusu didn't say anything.
Just smile.
The two toasted in celebration.
.........
Great court meeting
This is the first major court meeting after the new year, and also the first court meeting after the holiday.
All civil and military officials from the court gathered together, and everyone stood there, waiting quietly.
They all heard a piece of news that was unheard of and would not even be believed if they were not absolutely certain.
The Huns were driven away!
Moreover, the Xiongnu Khan accepted the pardon from the Qin Dynasty, became the King of Zhanxi of the Qin Dynasty, and headed further west in the Western Region.
They're ready to take over!
Then a large piece of grassland, such a large piece of land, even comparable to the land of Great Qin, belongs to them!
Thinking of this, even some people who were not keen on territorial expansion swallowed subconsciously.
"Do you think this is true? I heard that over in Northern Xinjiang, General Meng didn't even take action. It was Han Xin who led his troops to attack the Huns."
"Han Xin? Is that the young boy who hasn't fought in a war yet?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"What a joke, it's true. Just wait. I guess the urgent letter from Eight Hundred Miles will arrive soon."
"Then Han Xin wants to...?"
A group of princes and ministers were gossiping like old ladies at the entrance of the village. No one wanted to miss a little bit of news.
In this noisy atmosphere, Ying Zheng arrived, and immediately, the entire Zhangtai Palace became quiet.
Ying Zheng looked at the people in the audience and just smiled: "Everyone, you must have heard about it."
"Han Xin led his troops to attack the Xiongnu and fought a decisive battle with the Xiongnu in the North Sea. Later, the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun was forced into a corner, and he surrendered and expressed his willingness to join the Qin Dynasty."
Ying Zheng looked at the many ministers present with a smile, and said with a cheerful tone: "I will pardon him as the King of Zhanxi and order him to go to the Western Regions."
"From now on, there will be no more enemies in Northern Xinjiang!"
Many ministers immediately knelt down and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, may your Majesty live forever——"
"Great Qin Ten Thousand Years——"
Ying Zheng looked at the people in the audience, the joy and wantonness in his eyes had not dissipated. This was the happiest time since he swept across the six countries.
This proves that the barbarians on the border are not invincible, and it further proves that Da Qin is invincible!
"Everyone, this battle will be based on merit."
"Han Xin led a large army to attack the Xiongnu and achieved great success. He has the skull of Touman, the previous Khan of the Xiongnu, and the Qin Dynasty did not suffer much damage."
"How do you think the reward should be given?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Only Li Si took a step forward and said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, in accordance with the laws of the Qin Dynasty, I will be awarded the eleventh rank and be the right concubine!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly without any hesitation: "Pass on my decree, grant Lord Han Xin eleven turns, and make him the right concubine!"
"Confess Han Xin as a general of cavalry, with an official rank of third rank!"
Everyone was convinced again.
Then, Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke again, with a calm tone in his voice: "Chen Ke also made great achievements this time. If Chen Ke hadn't tried to alienate each other, this battle wouldn't have been so easy."
"Chen Ke, your title has reached "county uncle", and this time you can be promoted even further. "
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I will confer a knighthood on you as 'uncle'. "
"How about I give you the title of "Chang'an Bo", and the fiefdom will be centered on "Zhongmu" and radiate to three counties? "
