Zhao Gao glanced at Hu Hai.
Since the Zhou Dynasty, inheritance by the eldest son has become the law of the world, not only the inheritance of private property, but also the inheritance of the throne.
Although the First Emperor did not set up a prince, or even had no such idea at all, it did not prevent everyone in the world from treating Fusu as a prince.
This is also the reason why General Meng Tian respects Fusu so much. Otherwise, for a mere young master to have the status of a general, the other party would have to salute him.
After all, the First Emperor personally worshiped the General. If the First Emperor could worship him, who in the world would dare not to worship him?
As for the reason why the First Emperor valued Fusu but despised Hu Hai...
Hu Hai is headstrong, cruel and easy to kill, and his actions are simple and rude. This is unwise!
The First Emperor knew everything clearly, how could he not know it?
However, since the First Emperor ordered himself to be Hu Hai's teacher, he would naturally do his best to help Hu Hai!
Fu Su is usually diligent and courageous, conscientious and cautious, walking on thin ice and making no mistakes.
However, this time the First Emperor clearly ordered all the magicians and supernatural beings in the world to die, but he and Meng Tian did something to indulge the people of Chu, which must arouse the suspicion of the First Emperor.
Of course, Meng Tian actually did this. However, Fusu and Mengtian had been stationed in Hetao for several years, and they were regarded as one.
Meng Tian committed a crime, how could Fusu get away with it?
If done properly, it might put a thorn in the heart of the First Emperor!
Every time he saw Fusu from then on, the First Emperor would remember that Fusu had deceived him!
If things go on like this, the First Emperor will definitely feel disgusted in his heart!
Is there anyone in the world who is disgusted by the First Emperor and does not die?
Of course, if the First Emperor could really live forever, Fusu might not be deceiving him.
After all, as the official of the First Emperor's Zhongche Mansion, Zhao Gao knew that the First Emperor did not kill the alchemist because the alchemist deceived him.
It was because the alchemists did not refine the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor!
The First Emperor still wanted to live forever at this time, but he was not as convinced as before!
The key is, don’t rush this matter!
"Young man is wrong."
He said calmly: "If the young master meets the First Emperor before Fusu, it will certainly make the First Emperor suspicious, and he may be furious and arrest Fusu directly."
"However, this move also violates the righteousness of filial piety and brotherhood, and the First Emperor will not be happy!"
Hu Hai's brows moved slightly.
Filial piety...
People these days pay attention to filial piety. Needless to say, filial piety is to be filial to your parents. And brotherhood is the mutual friendship between brothers.
If he goes to sue Fusu for his crimes, whether he can kill Fusu is another question, but he will definitely leave a name of dissatisfaction in the heart of the First Emperor!
A trace of gratitude surged through his heart. Fortunately, his teacher was one of the people who accompanied the First Emperor and knew the First Emperor very well.
How lucky I am to have such a teacher!
"I wonder what the Zhongche Mansion Order can teach me?" He bowed his head in sincerity.
Seeing Hu Hai salute to him, a strange color flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes.
"If you have few sons, please treat them with little care."
"I am the First Emperor's Commander-in-Chief, and I am in charge of the law."
Although his expression changed slightly, his tone remained calm: "Young Master Fusu, if your Majesty sees you, I will be by your side!"
"At that time, I chose the opportunity to speak. If I could persuade the First Emperor to summon the young son..."
"Perhaps, we can change the position of Shaozi and Fusu!"
…
evening.
Huyang Palace.
It was dark outside, but there was light in the hall.
Dozens of oil lamps with the so-called shark oil added illuminate the entire hall like daylight. The floor tiles made of bluestone are polished as smooth as mirrors. Reflecting the light of the bronze oil lamps on the pillars, the whole hall has a floating light. feeling.
The entire hall was empty except for a middle-aged man in black robes who was sitting on a low throne. There was a bookcase in front of him, which was piled with bamboo slips.
The popular way of sitting at this time is to sit on the ground and sit on the ground, that is, kneeling on a mat. This is the etiquette. However, there is only one person in the world who does not need to abide by any etiquette, and that is the First Emperor!
The First Emperor has no surname, no family name, and no name. He only has two honorific titles, namely First Emperor and Zulong!
His Majesty Zulong, who had accomplished the great task of unifying the world, was still full of energy even though he was nearly fifty years old. He had an overview of all the affairs of the world, down to the smallest detail. He had to review thousands of kilograms of bamboo slips every day!
At this time, what the First Emperor was looking at was a bamboo slip. A chamberlain carefully knelt at his feet and held the bamboo slip for him.
"Trash!" A hoarse roar suddenly resounded through the entire hall. The First Emperor raised his hand and swept away the bamboo slips in the hands of the chamberlain. He glared at the chamberlain at his feet, with a hint of coldness passing between his brows.
"Behead him!" He waved his hand fiercely, and several chamberlains walked over from the corner tremblingly, grabbed the chamberlain holding the bamboo slip, and dragged him out.
But the servant who was innocently executed was pale and trembling, but he did not dare to say a word.
Not long after, a chamberlain came in with a trembling hand, holding a plate with the dead head of the chamberlain just now on it.
"Pass this head to the navy." Seeing the head, the First Emperor calmed down a little.
He continued indifferently: "As for Zhang Ping, if I can't catch Xu Fu within a month, I will use this plate to present his own head."
Zhang Ping is the younger brother of Zhang Han, the ninth minister of the Shaofu. Since this spring, he has commanded the Qin navy to go out to the East China Sea in an attempt to capture Xu Fu. However, after several months, nothing was found.
Thinking of this, the First Emperor felt furious.
"I will kill Xu Fu and his ilk!" He suddenly pulled out his sword from his waist.
He cut off a corner of the bookcase with a fierce sword, and said with red eyes: "Why haven't we caught the alchemist today?"
The chamberlain was speechless, and the First Emperor's sword was slowly raised.
Fortunately, at this time, a voice sounded outside the hall.
"Please report to His Majesty the First Emperor, Prince Fusu, and General Meng Tian, who have been ordered to see you!"
The First Emperor was slightly startled.
He glanced outside the door with a somewhat complicated expression, then put his sword back into the hilt.
"Order these two people to enter the palace and take nearly twenty steps!" He said calmly.
"Here!"
The chamberlain who was lucky enough to escape death almost cried with joy. He quickly lowered his head and held the plate with the human head in his hands. He walked back all the way to the entrance of the hall and screamed: "The First Emperor has ordered, Young Master Fu Su and General Meng Tian to come in to see Your Majesty, nearly twenty steps away." !”
"Here!"
Two responses sounded, one gentle and one sonorous. The next moment, two figures appeared at the door of the hall.
The First Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two figures carefully. The man on the right, with a wide robe and big sleeves and a calm expression, is Fusu. The man on the left is wearing armor, but his mouth and weapons have been removed. He is Meng Tian.
The two of them walked slowly with their heads lowered. The servants had quietly placed two mats on the blue bricks, no more, no less, exactly twenty steps away.
Fusu and Mengtian raised their hands, knelt down on the mat as if dancing, and bowed their heads empty.
"Your Majesty Fusu..." Fusu spoke first. He had just said three words when he was interrupted.
"Fusu my son," the first emperor's eyes sparkled, "the alchemist of Chu..."
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
