Outside Xianyang Palace.
Fusu stood upright in the corridor.
Although he knew that admonishment would be fruitless, he still wanted to give it a try.
He couldn't just watch the First Emperor being poisoned by medicine and stone.
Moreover, the reason why the First Emperor was like this was probably because of him. Thinking of this, Fusu felt even more guilty and regretful.
Not long after.
A eunuch came out and preached loudly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu, helps Su to have an audience."
Fusu took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and strode into the palace.
"My son, Fusu, has met my father."
Regarding Fusu's entry, Ying Zheng did not show any joy on his thin face, and did not even look at Fusu. He was still at his desk reviewing the memorial as usual.
Looking at the working figure of the First Emperor, Fusu burst into tears in an instant. Fearing to disturb the First Emperor, he quickly turned his head and suppressed his cry, not wanting his father to hear his cry.
The First Emperor noticed the strange movement in the palace.
But he didn't say anything.
The main hall with three entrances inside and outside was silent for a long time.
In the trees not far outside the hall, there were faint sounds of birdsong, and the main hall was as quiet as a valley.
There was a bamboo slip spread out on the lacquer table in front of him. Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and read the contents of the bamboo slip with his pen. He took a long time before writing on it.
Cherish ink like gold.
Then Ying Zheng closed the bamboo slips and put them aside. Then he raised his head, looked at the handsome Fusu, and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Father, you can't work so hard..."
Ying Zheng stared at Fusu silently for a moment, then took out a bamboo slip from the lacquer case and said: "If you only want to persuade me about this matter, you can leave first. I have no intention of accompanying you to mess around on important national affairs."
"Father----" Suddenly, Fusu fell to the ground and cried bitterly, saying: "My son, I beg your father not to take medicine stones anymore."
"My son, I know everything."
"My son is willing to listen to my father in everything from now on."
"I just ask my father to take good care of himself."
"My son, I don't want to see my father working hard all day long, and he even has to take medicinal stones to cheer up."
"I don't want to!"
The pen in Ying Zheng's hand suddenly stopped.
His eyes stayed on Fusu's face for a long time, but in the end he didn't say a word.
There was only the sound of rustling and wind in the hall.
And Fusu cried bitterly from time to time.
Seeing that his father was indifferent and even ignored his words, Fusu felt even more uneasy.
My father is very aware of people and things, and it is difficult to fake things.
If he had really made a mistake, he would have been scolded or even scolded by his father.
Now it is inexplicably calm.
This made Fusu's panicked heart tremble even more.
But it also strengthened Fusu's determination. He knew that if he continued to insist, he would definitely make the First Emperor angry, and might even anger his father's differences again. But he really couldn't accept it, and continued to see the First Emperor dragging his feet. The tired and haggard sick body deals with political affairs.
That is his father.
The father he respected the most!
Fusu said in a trembling voice:
"My son, I dare to ask my father not to take the medicine stone made by the alchemist again."
"Since the Shang Dynasty in the Qin Dynasty, the distribution of alchemy pills by witchcraft and alchemists has been strictly prohibited. Our ancestors, King Zhaoxiang and King Xiaowen, were seriously ill and bedridden, but they never used alchemists, and King Xiaowen learned medical skills because of this. Became half a doctor."
"Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, my father has given clear orders."
"The alchemists will use it if it is useful, but it will never involve curing diseases."
"Although the prohibitions against warriors in the Qin Dynasty are not as strict as in the past, they are still clearly decreed by Qin law."
"Why did my father want to abolish the law?"
"I know that my father is the emperor, and the fate of the Qin Dynasty depends on my father. I don't want to arouse suspicion from the outside world, so I want to use elixirs to boost my spirits."
"But I just want my father to be healthy."
"I beg my father not to take any more pills."
"My son is willing to travel across the mountains and rivers with bare feet from now on to find a real miracle doctor for my father."
"Please allow me, Father."
Looking at Fusu who was in tears, Ying Zheng was speechless for a long time, and finally said calmly: "What did Ji Heng say to you again?"
"Father----"
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu coldly and said, "Fusu, you and I are not only father and son, but also monarch and minister. State affairs are the most important thing."
"My son, I obey..."
Fusu finally stood up. He bowed and said, "Ji Heng didn't say much this time, but he was very explicit. Last time, Ji Heng left a question, that is, in today's world, if we continue to push Qin's government control, eventually where and what force will be the first to rebel."
"How did you answer?" Ying Zheng said indifferently.
Fusu said: "My minister answered Chu Di, a noble of the Chu family."
"What do Ji Heng say?"
Fusu said: "Ji Heng also agrees that it is Chu land, but he does not think it is a noble, but thinks it is the head of Guizhou."
"Qian Shou?!" Ying Zheng frowned.
Fusu took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
He said slowly: "Ji Heng is indeed talking about the head of Guizhou. He said that the nobles in the six lands of Guandong are indeed clamoring loudly, but because these forces have a certain amount of wealth, they are unlikely to take the lead in taking action. They The ability to bear it is much higher than the current clamor.”
"The people at the bottom of the world who really have a hard time are the ones at the bottom."
"Their affordability is very low."
"Under various levies of rent and taxes, people have begun to sell their wives and children, and even sell themselves. But if they still can't survive, they may not dare to risk their lives."
"And what really caused all this was the arrogance of the imperial court."
"After the Great Controversy, the people's wisdom began to awaken, and the relationship between the government and the people in the world has changed."
"But the court is still unaware of it.
"We still regard the lower class as slaves, as trash, or even as livestock."
"Therefore, the dissatisfaction at the bottom has actually begun to accumulate. The Qin government and the Qin system are only intensifying. When the people at the bottom can no longer survive, rebellion will break out, and the Kanto nobles who have been watching for a long time will also take advantage of the opportunity. "
"Then the whole world will probably rebel!"
"In Ji Heng's view, the Great Qin has been set on fire. All it takes is the last handful of withered grass to burn the Great Qin to pieces."
Speaking of which.
Fusu paused.
He quietly glanced at the First Emperor, who saw that the First Emperor's face was cold and expressionless.
"Officials and citizens?" Ying Zheng chewed for a few times and nodded: "It's a bit more innovative than before."
"What else?" Ying Zheng asked.
Fusu bowed and said:
"Ji Heng said that Da Qin's system also has problems."
“Only the middle and upper floors are designed.”
“I didn’t think about the lower levels, especially the lowest level.”
"He also mentioned that people's hearts can change. Prime Minister Li Si gradually lost his original intention after the founding of the country."
Hear the words.
Ying Zheng was silent for a long time, his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Fusu lowered his head, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, gritted his teeth and continued: "But in Ji Heng's eyes, these are just minor diseases. What really hurts the foundation of Da Qin is actually... Father."
"My father has been so eager for success these years that he has taken excessive demands, thus causing harm to the world."
"The true method of safeguarding the country of Great Qin..."
"In my father's hands!"
