"My son, I remember." Fusu said quickly, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Ying Zheng had completely calmed down. He leaned on the big pillow of the couch, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Don't believe everything others say. You must learn to make your own judgment."
"But this person is indeed right. I do intend to send you to the Jiuyuan Army."
"You have stayed in Xianyang for too long and know very little about the Qin system."
"It won't be a bad thing for you to go to the borderlands and sharpen your skills."
Fusu lowered his head and said with red eyes: "I don't want to go to the borderlands, I just want to serve my father."
Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu.
He said in a deep voice:
"As my eldest son, you should shoulder some responsibilities."
"Now the Xiongnu has indeed gone north, but there are still a few who are entrenched in the border areas and go south to plunder from time to time. The north is not peaceful. As my eldest son, it is also very important for you to go to the north to appease the people and supervise the construction of the Great Wall."
"Everything should be done with national affairs as top priority!"
"But Father, your body..." Fusu was filled with worry.
Ying Zheng said indifferently: "I know my body well, and it's not that easy to have an accident."
"State affairs are not child's play."
"Besides, I have sent people down to prepare. Soon Xu Fu will go to sea again. If we can find the elixir during this trip, my efforts over the years will not be in vain."
"Father! I am willing to find a real miracle doctor for my father..." Fusu said.
"Shut up!" Ying Zheng burst out suddenly and shouted angrily again.
Fusu gritted his teeth and stopped talking.
Seeing Fusu's stubborn expression, Ying Zheng sighed inwardly. A rare trace of sadness appeared on his face, but it soon disappeared on his thin face.
Ying Zheng sat upright and said calmly: "If you have this intention, I am satisfied."
"I'm a little tired."
"If you have nothing to do, please retreat first."
Fusu looked pale.
He wanted to speak again, but finally held back.
He was no longer the same person as before, how could he not understand the meaning of the First Emperor's words?
The First Emperor's current physical decline may not be cured by imperial physicians. Otherwise, how could he hope for a misty elixir?
first.
Fusu truly felt the danger that the First Emperor might fall at any time.
My panicked heart trembled.
However.
This is my father's order.
He had just promised his father that he would never disobey his father in the future, so how could he dare to go back on his words?
Moreover, just by saying that he was going to find a miracle doctor, he had already made his father angry. If he spoke again, he would probably anger his father even more. His father was already tired and haggard, so how could he withstand such anger again?
He really didn't have the courage to speak anymore.
Fusu lowered his head, with a depressed face, and said in despair: "My son, I do have one more thing, and I would like to ask my father's permission."
"explain!"
Fu Su said: "My son would like to copy a copy of the information on the court discussion on the 'dividing of counties and counties' nine years ago."
"Today I went to the prison to listen in. Ji Heng mentioned why the Qin Dynasty aroused people's resentment and anger. The root cause lies in the enfeoffment and counties."
"My son and minister are unknown."
"So I want to borrow relevant documents."
"In addition, my younger brother also wants to borrow it, so I want to make a copy and send it to the prison."
"Please allow me, Father."
Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly and stared at Fu Su for a long time. Fu Su tried his best to lower his head and did not dare to show any emotions. Ying Zheng seemed to realize something and let out a long sigh and said, "You decide for yourself."
"Thank you, father." Fusu still lowered his head.
"Any more?"
"My son, my son is fine."
"Go down."
"My dear, please leave." Fusu bowed respectfully and slowly exited the hall.
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu's back and was speechless for a long time. It wasn't until Fusu's figure completely disappeared from sight that he said with relief: "In the Emperor's Garden, some things are inevitable. You should understand it now. .”
"However, Ji Heng..."
A sharp cold light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.
He actually didn't take Ji Heng seriously, but what Fusu said before made him feel chills running down his spine.
Ji Heng noticed too many things!
It made him feel uneasy.
The only thing that makes Ying Zheng feel at ease is that Ji Heng is in prison now and will be killed in less than half a month. Otherwise, even he will be uneasy.
He was no longer young and strong, and he really didn't have the energy or body to compete with someone with such a mind.
Today's Great Qin cannot withstand such a torment.
"Self-conferencing of counties?" A cold look flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he said indifferently: "The Zhou Dynasty's rule of thumb has never been suitable for the Qin Dynasty."
“The centralization of power in counties is the general trend!”
"But it's okay. If Fusu can understand the truth earlier, it will be of great benefit to his future politics. It will not be in vain for my two young masters to treat you so favorably."
"It's just Ji Heng, what are your intentions?"
"What's the purpose?"
Ying Zheng frowned, confused.
With Ji Heng's talent, there is no way he would be thrown into jail so easily.
However, Ji Heng clearly saw through everything, but he jumped in directly.
Ji Heng in prison was extremely relaxed and carefree, as if he had no regard for life and death. Even with Ying Zheng's extensive knowledge, he really could not guess what Ji Heng was thinking.
"Ji Heng."
Ying Zheng muttered it several times in a low voice and didn't think about it anymore.
He looked around at the empty surroundings, seemed to remember something, and shouted outside the hall.
soon.
A eunuch appeared respectfully in the palace.
Ying Zheng looked at the eunuch coldly and asked, "Did Xu Fuk say when he would go to sea?"
The eunuch said: "Back to your majesty, Xu Fu has gathered enough boys and girls for now. He said he will go to sea when the tide is low at the beginning of winter."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "When will the replacement enter the palace?"
The eunuch said: "Xu Fu said he would arrive next month. Xu Fu also said that this old alchemist is a real magician and it is more appropriate to serve your majesty than him."
Ying Zheng let out a long sigh, waved his hand and said, "I understand."
The eunuch agreed and slowly withdrew.
Ying Zheng sat high on it. He had always been strong and strong, but now his eyes were full of sadness, and he said in a low voice: "Confucius said that strange power can confuse the spirit without words, but now I have to rely on the alchemists to survive."
"How sad!"
"But I have to do this."
"The world is uncertain, and Fusu cannot be successful in a short time. How could I fall like this?"
"I can't."
"Don't fall down either!!!"
A sickly blush appeared on Ying Zheng's face, and his eyes were extremely determined.
He took a deep breath to calm down his angry mood, opened the memorandum on the case again, and started reviewing it painstakingly.
It's getting dark.
Fusu has returned to Yong Palace.
Wei Sheng and several sword and pen officials had been waiting for a long time.
Fusu hurriedly entered the hall, without taking a break, and asked them to start copying.
But when he saw the covered bamboo slips on the case, Fusu's eyes darkened slightly, and finally reached out to cover the scroll, leaving only Wei Sheng and a few swordsmen and pen officials to copy other bamboo slips.
This copying process took several hours.
By the time Fusu sent someone to the prison, the sky was already slightly bright, and a faint mist was lingering in the endless palace.
The weather is getting colder.
