Hear the words.
Fusu couldn't help but burst into tears.
What made him feel even more painful and helpless was that he couldn't do anything.
He clearly knew a lot of things, but he could only watch helplessly, powerless but helpless. Even if he intervened, not only would he not be able to save the situation, but he would also make it worse.
In particular, the First Emperor's body was getting thinner and thinner. As the eldest son, he could not do anything. This feeling of powerlessness made him even more uncomfortable.
a long time.
Ying Zheng's heavy breathing gradually subsided.
A sickly color appeared on his face, and his eyes were filled with fatigue.
Ying Zheng let out a long sigh and sat upright.
He looked at Fusu, who had a worried look on his face, and his heart warmed, and he said in a condensing voice: "If you have anything else you want to say, just say it."
"Father, my son..." Fusu wanted to say that nothing was wrong, but in the end he opened his mouth and choked with tears: "Father, my little brother has been in prison for a long time. , I am also very peaceful during this period. I think that my younger brother has realized his mistake and has repented. I hope that my father can forgive me and let me leave the prison."
Ying Zheng sat solemnly, pondered for a moment, and then said calmly: "Yes."
"Any more?"
Fusu lowered his head, his eyes a little dodged, and said timidly: "My son... My son was in prison today. He heard that the medicinal stones his father took were poisonous, so he went to question the alchemist in prison. Finally, my son He lost control of his emotions and ordered the mouth of an alchemist to be cut off, and finally ordered the jailer to kill him."
"My son is guilty, please punish me."
Hear the words.
Ying Zheng looked slightly strange.
He looked Fusu up and down, as if he was a little surprised and surprised by Fusu's order to kill.
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "The laws of the Qin Dynasty are first, and those who violate the laws should be punished. However, the alchemists have evil intentions and have already been sentenced to death. It is just a matter of killing them quickly, but you still violated the laws after all. You can go to Tingwei's Mansion to collect your guilt later."
"My son, I obey the order." Fusu said quickly.
he knows.
My father actually didn't blame him.
Otherwise, at least he would be scolded.
Feel a little calmer.
Fusu continued: "Father, I know that I shouldn't say anything about this matter, but I feel really uneasy. I beg your father to allow me to express my true feelings."
Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly.
He roughly guessed what Fusu was going to say, "Just say what you want to say."
"I obey the order." Fusu bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice: "Father, I still want to intercede for Ji Heng."
"He shall not sin unto death."
"I know that Ji Heng is arrogant and arrogant, but he is indeed a talented person."
"I have met many courtiers over the years, but no one can explain the general trend of the world so clearly and clearly. I know that the courtiers may have doubts or reservations, but Ji Heng's views and comments The perspective of things is completely different from that of courtiers.”
"As the saying goes, stones from other mountains can attack jade."
"My son is stupid and was often teased by Confucian scholars in the past. Although he has begun to read "Han Feizi" and "Shang Jun Shu", his ability to discern cannot be improved in a short time."
"With Ji Heng's guidance and the opinions of courtiers, the situation of unclear things may be greatly reduced."
"My son, I dare not ask for Ji Heng to be an official, but I hope my father can spare Ji Heng's life."
"Please allow me, Father."
Finished.
Fusu subconsciously held his breath.
He knew that his father would most likely disagree, but he had to speak.
Ji Heng's focus is different from that of the courtiers. If Ji Heng's views are used as assistance, he does lack academic knowledge, but it can greatly make up for the shortcomings.
This will undoubtedly be of great benefit to him.
Ying Zheng's eyes were uncertain, as if he was weighing the situation in his mind. Finally, his expression became firm and he said resolutely: "No."
"Father."
"There is no need to mention this matter again!" Ying Zheng suddenly refused.
Fusu opened his mouth, but finally said nothing more.
In the past, he might have still tried to remonstrate, but now, he no longer wanted to make the First Emperor sad or angry because of his opinions.
There was just frustration and depression in his eyes.
Ying Zheng simply ignored it.
Fusu said: "Father, my son and I are fine."
Ying Zheng bowed his head slightly, brushed his sleeves and said, "Since there is nothing to do, please step aside first. I still have political matters to deal with."
Fusu looked at the bamboo slips piled up on the table, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and said: "Father, please take good care of your body and stop taking medicine stones. Father's body really can't withstand the abuse of medicine stones. Confucius said nothing about his strange power and deranged his mind." , I only hope that my father can use the methods of imperial doctors to recuperate his body."
"My son is so scared!"
Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold and he scolded: "It's not your turn to tell me what I should do, so go down!"
Fusu gritted his teeth tightly, but his feet seemed to have taken root.
"Get down!" Ying Zheng shouted angrily again.
"My son, please retire." Fusu was immediately discouraged. The majestic First Emperor was irresistible in his heart.
Fusu walked hard towards the outside of the palace, but he walked very slowly, even turning back every step of the way, his eyes full of stubbornness and grievance.
Ying Zheng buried his head and didn't care at all.
After Fusu had completely left the hall, Ying Zheng slowly raised his head and said with a long sigh: "Confucius didn't talk about his strange power, so why don't I know that?"
"But what can I do?"
"But today there are undercurrents surging in the world, and the court is still walking on thin ice. How can I dare to show my weakness?"
"If my decline is revealed to the outside world, I'm afraid more and more Xiaoxiao will come out to test it. By then, the Great Qin will only become more and more tired. Once the outside world notices the decline of the Great Qin, I'm afraid the restoration forces will smell a fishy smell. Like a jackal, it bites like crazy."
"Then the world will really be in chaos."
"I am here and can still suppress you."
"If I fall, who can suppress me?"
Ying Zheng was in charge of the big case and stood up slowly. He raised his eyes and looked outside the hall.
His eyes seemed to drift towards the prison.
a long time.
Ying Zhengcai retracted his thoughts and said coldly: "You are indeed outstanding, but in today's world, everything follows routines and traditions. How can it be so easy to break the rules?"
"Great Qin's axis of coordinating the new governance has indeed not considered the bottom class. The reason is just as you said."
"People's hearts will change!"
"But the way the world runs depends on personnel."
“Political matters matter, politics matters in the heart!”
"A plan as important and involving the overall situation as the new dynasty's governance has followed routines and traditions from the beginning. Some of the courtiers may have unique long-term strategies, but in terms of premeditated political affairs, they can keep up with such a long-term stride. There has always been a minority, and it is so difficult for the courtiers to keep up, let alone the officials and people below?"
"In three days, you will be able to put yourself in your shoes and hear the attitude of the people at the bottom who are determined to save you, towards you."
"After this incident."
"You may be able to understand why I did this."
Ying Zheng shook his head, looked at the mountain-like memorial, and sat back on the table.
There was no wind in the hall, but it felt a bit cool.
