Wang Jian looked embarrassed. He closed the door behind him, then raised his hands and bowed, "Eldest son, I am Wang Jian, Marquis of Wu Cheng, and this is your Majesty."
"Father!"
Fusu turned around quickly and bowed his head. With red eyes, he looked at the eight-year-old Emperor Shihuang who had returned to youth, and suddenly choked up and said: "I didn't expect that my father would be reduced to this after just a few days. I have been looking for a long time to see my father, so please punish me!"
"You are wrong, but that's not your fault."
Qin Shihuang showed a cold look on his face, "Before I patrolled the east, I specifically ordered the Prime Minister Feng Quji to guard Xianyang, so that you can learn from him in handling government affairs. After what happened to me, you should stay in Xianyang to prevent changes. But I didn't expect that you You actually left Xianyang and came here privately. As the eldest son, how can you be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility by acting so wantonly? Reflect on what you have done!"
"Reflect on it, I must reflect on it!"
Fusu nodded repeatedly.
Yes, this tastes just right!
At first he was worried that he was being deceived, but now after seeing it with his own eyes, he was convinced that his father was really eight years old again! Looking at the emperor who was not taller than himself, Fusu always felt a little strange.
"My lord, the eldest son is also very filial."
"It's very filial."
"..."
"..."
Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, this sinister tone was the essence of Cao Xiu. Then he glanced at Fusu and didn't ask for help. Although he is his grandson-in-law, he really can't take this teammate with him.
Qin Shihuang breathed a sigh of relief and softened his tone slightly, "I naturally know that you are filial. But as the eldest son of Qin, you should shoulder important responsibilities. You should not act so wantonly and ignore the importance."
He knew that Fusu was a filial man. But sometimes trade-offs have to be made, and the situation has to be seen clearly. His whereabouts were unknown at that time. Even if Fusu came to Surabaya County, what could he do? On the contrary, if anything happens to him, Fusu will finally be able to take control of Xianyang and not cause chaos in the world.
He did have a lot of dissatisfaction with Fusu, and the father and son had many arguments over their political differences. But Fusu's ability is the best among all the young masters, but his background is not good, and his methods are not ruthless enough.
"Confucius said it was benevolence, Mencius said it was righteousness!"
"roll!"
"..."
"From now on, you should stay here and learn all Cao Xiu's skills from me. He is quite extraordinary. Don't be deceived by his appearance."
"I understand."
Fusu raised his hands and bowed.
He knew Cao Xiu's identity as a rebel and the emperor's purpose of staying by his side. This kind of operation is understandable, after all, the emperor has always used people like this. Even if it was Zheng Guo in Han Dynasty, he still used it without fail, let alone Cao Xiu, who was more valuable than Zheng Guo.
"When will father plan to return to Xianyang?"
"There's no rush yet."
Qin Shihuang waved his sleeves and hands.
If he returns to Xianyang like this now, it will definitely cause an uproar. Besides, he originally planned to stay in Langya County for three months, so he was not in a hurry. So he specially ordered Li Si to temporarily park the Emperor's carriage in Nanjun, saying that he wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xiangshan Mountain in Nanjun.
He also personally issued an edict, saying that the trees on Pingshan Mountain in Xiangshan are wild and beautiful, so these places must be protected, and their status is equivalent to that of a royal garden!
At this time, Wang Jian also hummed and carried the pile of bamboo slips.
"what are these?"
"I have not approved the memorials some time ago." Qin Shihuang paused and continued: "Since you are here, then approve them all. I will read them tonight."
"..."
"Also, don't forget the purpose of your coming here." Qin Shihuang waved his sleeves and turned around, "I have become a rebel now, so it is inconvenient to talk about some things. You need to get close to Cao Xiu now and make innuendo at the right time. Make him submit to Qin."
"I understand."
Qin Shihuang snorted and then walked out casually. He didn't do this to cultivate Fusu. After all, he had spent thirty years in vain. He might not have died even if Fusu died. She just got angry when she saw Fusu, and wanted to save him from nagging him in front of him.
Fusu sighed.
He suddenly felt like he had fallen into a pit!
Originally, he lived a relatively comfortable life in Xianyang, and he only had to read memorials and the like. Most of the memorials would be sent to the emperor by mail for his personal review. Okay now, this job is all his?
The most important thing is, do you still have to persuade Cao Xiu to surrender?
This job is not easy!
…
A few hours later.
Hu Hai happily picked up the fish basket and kicked open the door. It's majestic and high-spirited, like a rooster that has just won a fight. He went straight to fishing today. On the other hand, Han Xin didn't even catch a single thread. It's a pity that the automatic fishing machine was broken, otherwise he could have caught more!
"Xiu'er, Xiu'er!"
"Come on!"
Hu Hai casually threw the fish basket aside.
He felt that he was really right.
I originally thought that Cao Xiu would be like those rigid scholars, nagging him endlessly. Unexpectedly, he was ignored at all and even asked to take him fishing. There are many ways to fish for key people, and there are also various automatic fishing machines. He caught locusts and butterflies on the edge. After a while, fish took the bait.
So, Cao Xiu is a very interesting person.
The guest room door opened immediately.
Fusu walked out of the room tremblingly.
He criticized it for three hours and finally solved it!
"Eh?"
"Eldest brother is here too?"
"Cough cough cough!"
Fusu quickly made a gesture of silence. Fortunately, there were no servants around, otherwise he would have been in trouble. You must know that according to the emperor's script, he and Hu Hai do not know each other now.
Now Hu Hai is called Li Hai, and he is a distant relative of Zuo Prime Minister Li Si. And he was a concubine of the Su family in Xianyang, and he only had some relationship with the middle man Su Jiao. According to the script, they have no intersection at all.
"Ah, you don't know where to start?"
Hu Hai is also quite clever.
Fusu immediately smiled, raised his hand and said, "I am Su Zidu, from the Su family in Xianyang. I am the gentleman invited by Mr. Cao to teach young students."
In fact, their relationship is still okay. As the eldest son, Fusu takes good care of them on weekdays. Previously, the emperor was busy with government affairs and had no time to take care of his children, so Fusu took care of them. Sometimes they made mistakes, and Fusu always took the blame without any regrets.
It's just... they have faded a lot over the years.
As he grows older, Hu Hai gradually becomes more sensible. Nowadays, the emperor has neither established a queen nor a prince, which means that there is no difference between their concubines and concubines, and they all have the possibility of becoming princes. Coupled with Zhao Gao's mention in secret, Hu Hai gradually had ideas about the throne.
Zhao Gao told him that the emperor is the supreme being. Whatever you want to do, you can do. Anyone he doesn't like can be killed with just one sentence. It doesn't matter if he has no talent, as long as he leaves the matter to the minister. If anyone resists, kill his entire family.
Then, the seeds of darkness bloom quietly...
