"Eldest Young Master?" Hu Hai looked a little unnatural.

Ji Heng nodded and said: "If nothing else happens, Fusu will be the designated crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, and the future Qin II."

"Everything the First Emperor did was to pave the way for Fusu."

"I have said before that the First Emperor has realized the problem and will definitely turn the court around in the future."

"You mentioned before that Fusu said in court, 'The head of Guizhou has not gathered in the distance.' This sentence has revealed some of Fusu's political tendencies. He actually opposed Qin Shihuang's overemphasis on Legalist political ideas and Confucianism. And respond with sympathy and even support.”

"If Fu Su comes to power and Confucianism is still in power, how can it not be used?"

"But Da Qin became strong through reforms."

"The law is the foundation of Qin."

"No one can change this."

"Confucianism and Legalism are at odds with each other. Fusu is not familiar with politics, let alone seeking power. If Confucianism is really used, the court will definitely be in chaos, and the government affairs of the court will be greatly affected. How can the world be in chaos?"

"The First Emperor ordered the burning of books and the entrapment of Confucians as a precaution, in order to completely drive Confucianists away from the court."

"Even if I complain for Fusu, I won't hesitate!"

Hear the words.

Hu Hai looked a little resentful and said, "Is it really worth it for the First Emperor to do so much for the eldest son?"

partition.

Fusu's face turned pale and he bit his lip hard.

He also asked himself in his heart, is he really worthy of his father doing so much? Can I really live up to my father's expectations?

he does not know.

Fusu's eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.

He had never thought about such a scene before, and he didn't want to think about it.

Because he always believed that no matter what happened, as long as his father was around, everything would be nothing, and his father would solve everything for him.

My father is my own piece of heaven.

A sky that can block all problems for yourself.

but now......

The sky seems to be falling.

Ji Heng glanced at Hu Hai indifferently, shook his head and said, "It's nothing worth it."

"In addition to being a king, the First Emperor is also a father."

"And the First Emperor did much more than that for Fusu."

"I accidentally mentioned before that Fusu would be arranged by the First Emperor to go to Northern Xinjiang."

"The basis for speculation is that the First Emperor wanted Fusu to ascend to power."

"As long as the First Emperor wants Fusu to ascend to power, Fusu will definitely go to northern Xinjiang. I don't know in what form, whether he is demoted, sent, or for other reasons, but he will definitely go."

“And it will only be Northern Xinjiang!!!”

"Why?" Hu Hai blurted out subconsciously. The next moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes evaded: "Because of Meng Tian?"

Ji Heng glanced at Hu Hai and was a little surprised that Hu Hai reacted so quickly.

He nodded and said: "I said before that the First Emperor was angry, happy and worried about Fusu's understanding of the world."

"The worry is that Fusu is not deeply involved in the matter, does not have his own team, and lacks military merit. Once something happens to the First Emperor, Fusu will not be able to control the court situation with his current ability."

"In order to make it easier for Fusu to succeed to the throne, we can only let him go to northern Xinjiang to work with Meng Tian."

"Fusu had a close personal relationship with Meng Tian in the past."

"By going to Northern Xinjiang, we can strengthen the relationship between Fusu and Meng Tian, ​​and let Meng Tian and the military be used by Fusu to help Fusu stabilize the government in the future."

"Secondly, because of the difficulties in northern Xinjiang, I also want to use this opportunity to give Fusu more experience and experience the dangers of the empire, so that he can talk less about empty fantasies and understand more about the good intentions of his policies, so as to prevent Fusu from overcorrecting after he takes office."

"Now let's answer the previous question."

"Why didn't the First Emperor do it himself, but chose to leave it to Fusu?"

"Because Fusu doesn't have enough prestige."

"He needs to rely on benevolent governance to accumulate prestige."

"With benevolent policies internally to appease the people, and external support from Meng Tian's military, only then can Fusu secure his position in the world."

"As for why we should target Confucian scholars, the answer is obvious."

"What Great Qin wants is Fusu's benevolence, and the world can only spread Fusu's benevolence."

"So Confucian scholars who talk about benevolence must be driven out of the court!"

"We must also lose the right to speak."

"In addition, Fusu Renshan, if he is in power, will definitely implement benevolent policies after hearing about the sufferings of the people."

"If a Confucian scholar were in court, and Fusu was close to Confucianism, he might listen to what the Confucian scholar said and change the court's established policies."

"The foundation of Da Qin's law will also be shaken."

"If Fusu places heavy emphasis on Confucian scholars and abolishes some express laws, he will undoubtedly disrupt the government."

"In order to prevent Fusu from overcorrecting and to continue to maintain the system of law, Confucianism must be eliminated from the court. Only in this way can the court be less affected and less disturbed after Fusu comes to power."

"As for entrapment and killing, it's even simpler."

"Because Fusu is loyal and filial."

"Abandoning Confucianism was the decision made by the First Emperor."

"As long as Fusu still insists on loyalty and filial piety, he will never dare to go against the First Emperor's decision."

"The First Emperor would rather suffer infamy than kill Confucian scholars, just to tell Fusu clearly."

"You can use Confucianism."

"But you can't use Confucianism!"

“Don’t even use it!!!”

Separated by a wall.

Hearing Ji Heng's words, Fusu was shocked.

He already understood it all.

The reason why the First Emperor chose to trap and kill him was entirely because he was worried about him.

Worried that he was deceived by Confucianism.

This entrapment brought infamy to the First Emperor. If he uses Confucian scholars in the future, wouldn't it prove that the First Emperor did something wrong back then? Doesn’t it also confirm the First Emperor’s reputation?

He is called loyal and filial by everyone in the world, how dare he do such an unloyal and unfilial thing?

The First Emperor was using his reputation to prevent himself from making mistakes.

Ji Heng was indeed harmed by himself.

Because of his disloyalty, filial piety and incompetence, the First Emperor had no choice but to carry out mass killings in order to stabilize the world. As a result, more than 400 people were trapped and killed.

"Father----" Fusu bowed to the ground with tears streaming down his face.

the other side.

Ji Heng sighed quietly and continued: "Now you know why I said the person who killed me was Fusu, right?"

"It is true that Fusu had no intention of harming others, but because of his incompetent insight, more than 400 people like us became the pawns of the First Emperor to pave the way for Fusu."

"The First Emperor has prepared everything for Fusu."

"After Fusu came to power, he could directly show his image as a benevolent monarch and use this to attract the hearts of the Guizhou leaders in the world, so as to eliminate the gap between Guanzhong and Guandong and achieve the goal of getting the Guizhou leaders to surrender."

"The king, the Confucian, the law!"

"This is the road paved by the First Emperor for Fusu."

"But it's hard for Fusu to understand the good intentions of the First Emperor. Maybe Fusu is still complaining about the First Emperor burning books and killing Confucian scholars."

"hehe."

Ji Heng shook his head, leaned on the big case, and continued to drink by himself.

Get intoxicated.

It doesn’t matter whether the emperor’s intentions are good or the family’s private agenda.

He has seen too many things in his ninth life, and his heart has long since calmed down.

And he knew that the First Emperor did much more than that for Fusu, and even made some compromises for Fusu.

But what's the point?

As the First Emperor's path collapsed, everything turned into smoke and was buried deep in the long river of history.

No one cares and no one cares.

In ancient times, all the sages were lonely, but only the drinkers left their names.

There are many things in the world that are not as good as a glass of wine.
