When Zhao Hao returned to Chunan Pavilion, he was still thinking about the First Emperor taking the elixir.
Although Meng Yi made a timely last strike and put the blame on Zhao Gao, the fact that the First Emperor took the elixir had little to do with Zhao Gao.
If the First Emperor did not want to take the elixir, even if Zhao Gao asked him to break the sky, the First Emperor would not agree.
So why did the First Emperor order the arrest of Zhao Gao?
To put it bluntly, I just need to find a way out for myself so that I don’t look so stupid!
After all, Zhao Gao asked the alchemist to make alchemy with his consent.
If Meng Yi could see through this, the situation might be reduced to a minor matter. If Meng Yi couldn't see through this, the situation might get out of hand, and he would eventually be resented by the First Emperor.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao personally went to Fusu's palace, hoping to meet Meng Yi by chance and remind him a few words.
The Meng family's support for Fusu was well known throughout the court.
Now that Fu Su was in trouble, the First Emperor ordered him to accept the post of supervisor of the Jiuyuan Army and follow Meng Tian northward. He was not allowed to return home until he was summoned, so Meng Yi naturally went to give him some instructions.
But what is surprising is that Meng Yi is not here in Fusu.
At this time, Fusu was sitting alone in the small courtyard of the palace, looking up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Zhao Hao stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
Fusu raised his head and was stunned, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Haohao, why are you here? Are you hungry? Brother, I will ask someone to prepare something delicious for you!"
With that said, he stood up to greet the palace attendant.
Zhao Hao pressed his shoulder helplessly, shook his head and said: "Eldest brother, don't bother, Hao is not here to eat and drink."
"I'm not here to eat or drink."
Fusu was startled again, and then he seemed to think of something again, and said bitterly: "You really can't hide anything in this palace. I didn't expect that even you knew about it."
Zhao Hao's mouth twitched.
Fusu said sadly again: "Brother Hao, are you wrong to say that you are a brother?"
"wrong."
Zhao Hao gave the answer straightforwardly.
When Fusu heard this, his eyes darkened instantly.
Zhao Hao sighed and continued: "The fault of the eldest brother is not that he interfered in the Confucian case and opposed the persecution of Confucianism, but that he did not listen to the words of his younger brother!"
"My younger brother had already asked Lang Zhongling to inform the eldest brother and wait and see what happens. However, the eldest brother's loyal words were distasteful to his ears. After my father made the decision, he acted recklessly, which led to today's situation!"
"Also, did the eldest brother forget the previous explanation of the younger brother? Do you want to listen to General Meng's opinion more? Think clearly beforehand. You and your father are kings and ministers first, and father and son second!"
"Even if there are problems with the Confucian case, shouldn't those Confucian scholars and alchemists really be killed? Our Da Qin New Deal has already established tolerance in the world, but there are always people who take tolerance as a matter of course and touch it again and again. The bottom line of my Da Qin, can my Da Qin agree? Can my father agree? No!"
"To be honest, if you put your eldest brother in the position of your father, imagine, eldest brother, if someone behind you openly contradicts the order you gave, how would you feel?"
"I"
When Fusu heard Zhao Hao's words, he trembled and couldn't help but raise his head and look at him: "Am I useless?"
"yes!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Fusu's shoulders slumped, tears filled his eyes uncontrollably, and he cried loudly.
Yes, the majestic eldest son of Qin was actually defeated by Zhao Hao with just one word.
Fusu is probably the kind of person that everyone wants to be friends with. If you have something to say, he will say it, and if you have something to do, he will do it.
Growing up, he was very lovable.
He did not dare to disobey his parents in anything. When he was very young, he began to practice literature and martial arts. He was filial to his parents and friendly to his brothers and sisters. Even if Hu Hai openly competed with him for favor, he would not be angry.
He was also very courteous to ministers and friendly to scholars. He often debated academic ideas with students from various schools.
This earned Fusu a lot of reputation both inside and outside the court.
There is almost no minister or head of Guizhou who does not like him.
His prestige is very high. Even if Ying Zheng was called a tyrant by the remaining people of the Six Kingdoms, no one would call him a tyrant.
This is an eldest son who wins the hearts of the people.
When Fusu's crying gradually subsided, Zhao Hao sat next to him and comforted him softly: "Actually, it's nothing. Everyone makes mistakes. As long as they correct themselves in the future, they will still be good children."
"Well"
Fusu's face turned red, he sighed slowly, and his mind gradually calmed down.
"My father has issued a decree that my brother will not be allowed to return to the country if he is not called. This is inconsistent with your original instructions for my brother to stay in Xianyang. What should I do?"
"Eldest brother, have you remembered what I said to you now? Why did you go so early?"
"Brother Wei admitted that he was confused for a moment, but Master Kong came to visit him personally, and it was hard for him to refuse. Besides, brother Wei always felt that the punishment of entrapment and death was too cruel." Fusu defended in a low voice.
Zhao Hao was startled for a moment, then suddenly stood up excitedly and glared: "Did you just say that Kong Yu came to see you again?"
"No, he never left!"
"Not leaving?"
Zhao Hao blinked and asked doubtfully: "Then you go find Li Si. Does he know?"
"I know! He was the one who asked me to go!"
Fusu nodded obediently.
"Fuck!"
Zhao Hao blurted out suddenly and cursed.
"What's wrong?"
Fusu tilted his head and looked at Zhao Hao with a puzzled expression.
Although he knew that Zhao Hao was swearing, Zhao Hao usually didn't swear unless he was angry or surprised.
Looking at the current situation, he should be very angry.
Because Zhao Hao's face became extremely ugly.
But Zhao Hao took a deep breath and said coldly, "I originally wanted to give them a way out, but I didn't expect that they would be dogs that couldn't be fed, and wolves that couldn't be fed!"
"What does Brother Hao mean by this?"
"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about this little thing, just stay in Jiuyuan for a while and learn more from General Meng!"
"But."
Fusu looked hesitant.
He didn't think Zhao Hao said 'this little thing' too loudly.
Although Zhao Hao always wanted to be a salted fish and wait to die, he was very smart and had many ideas, which meant that he had no intention of competing for the crown prince. Otherwise, the crown prince's position would belong to him.
Even if he doesn't care about the position of the prince, his father also loves him a lot. Not to mention anything else, just having Wei Liao as his disciple is what all the princes and grandsons dream of, and being able to leave the palace at will is also very enviable. .
It can be said that as a little brother, I have the spirit of "even though the world is big, I can't go anywhere".
"As a brother, I am my father's eldest son. I cannot fulfill my filial piety in front of my father, and my father's condition is aggravated. Is it okay to leave at this time?"
"Eldest brother!"
Zhao Hao interrupted Fusu with a wave of his hand, and said earnestly: "My father is not just your son, so what are you worrying about? Even if my father's condition worsens, it has nothing to do with you, so why do you have to worry about everything?" Resistance on your own?"
"What's more, if you ask yourself, do you really care about your father?"
Buzz—!
Hearing this, Fusu felt his head buzzing.
Brother Hao was right. His father had long warned him to understand tactics and the world, but he didn't listen at all, which made him make mistakes every step of the way.
If I had taken my father's words to heart, how could I have gotten to where I am today?
Over the years, I have only made my father angry.
"Why!"
After coming back to his senses, Fusu sighed and was speechless for a long time. Finally, he bowed to Zhao Hao and walked straight out of the palace.
"Eldest brother!"
Zhao Hao couldn't help shouting when he saw Fusu leaving immediately.
Fusu did not look back, and his tall figure slowly disappeared in the sunlight.
At the same time, on the other side, Hu Hai slept in the pavilion.
As the young prince who was favored by the First Emperor, Hu Hai's treatment was obviously higher than that of ordinary princes.
He is only eight years old and has his own bedroom.
This is definitely the only one among the princes.
But Hu Hai, a child, also strived for success. He did not become arrogant and act recklessly because of the favor of the First Emperor.
On the contrary, he loved learning very much and was deeply appreciated by his teachers.
Now there is no trace of the 'Qin II' in history.
"Young Prince, you have read a lot of books recently, which book are you interested in?"
A Fu Cheng asked Hu Hai amiably.
Hu Hai thought for a while and murmured: "Logically speaking, Hu Hai should like Legalism, because I, the Great Qin Dynasty, respect the law, but the Mohist School kills violence with a righteous sword and loves to save the world. Hu Hai also likes it very much."
"The Mohist family has always been tenacious and will never give up because of one mistake. The young prince can learn from it, but it is not good for governing the country. It can easily cause turmoil in the court."
"In that case, Legalism is better."
"Since the young prince did not choose Legalism, why not consider Confucianism?" Fu Cheng asked curiously.
Hu Hai shook his head decisively: "Confucianism is not good!"
"Why not?"
"Because my father doesn't like Confucianism!"
"Just because His Majesty doesn't like it?"
"Yes!"
Hu Hai nodded and said seriously: "If my father doesn't like it, Hu Hai doesn't like it either!"
"this"
Fu Cheng was speechless, then shook his head helplessly and said, "I have been teaching for two hours today. I am old and can no longer persist. Please forgive me, young prince."
"Teacher, you can talk for two hours. You are already strong and strong. Congratulations." Hu Hai stood up, bowed to Fu Cheng, and joked with a smile.
Fu Cheng also responded with a smile: "The young prince is talented and smart, far beyond ordinary people, and I admire him very much!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, Hu Hai will send the teacher off."
"Young Prince, there is no need to be polite, please take my leave."
Fu Cheng waved his hand politely, then turned and left Hu Hai's dormitory.
Hu Hai looked at his back, thoughtfully, and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "I haven't seen Brother Thirteen for a long time. Is he studying hard too? I heard that Yan Le went to his place to help him drive his studies. Really? Why didn’t Zhao Fu Ling come to teach Hu Hai? "
Just when Hu Hai was thinking a lot, Zhao Gao hurried in from outside the door.
"Young prince!"
Zhao Gao shouted loudly.
Hu Hai came back to his senses and said happily: "Teacher, you are finally here. What will you teach Hu Hai today?"
"Oh my young prince, how long has it been and you still want to study!"
Zhao Gao, who hurriedly walked to Hu Hai, couldn't help but sigh when he heard Hu Hai's words.
Hu Hai was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Gao with confusion on his face: "What do you mean, teacher? What happened?"
"This is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk!"
Zhao Gao raised his hand and waved away the palace attendants around him, and quickly entered the pavilion with Hu Hai.
There is one more chapter, I will be revising it later.
