Chapter 27 People stay, you go
Ying Zheng's scolding made Fusu lower his head in grievance, and his eyes dimmed a little.
"Go back! I will send someone to take you there tomorrow." Ying Zheng sighed.
Fusu's nose felt sore, and as soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, tears began to fall. He wiped his tears hard with both hands, but he still couldn't stop them.
Lu Le looked distressed and said comfortingly, "Sir, the king cares about you in his heart. He must have other intentions in letting you go to the queen mother. Perhaps this will be a new opportunity for you."
Fusu lowered his head and said nothing. After bowing to Lu Le, he left with a dejected look on his face.
He is just young, but that doesn't mean he is ignorant. His eldest mother was sent to Yongcheng by his father because she made a mistake. Now that his father doesn't like him, he naturally doesn't want to see him anymore.
At night, Fusu hid in the quilt and cried, and the bedding beneath him was wet.
He fell into a deep sleep only after he was tired of crying.
The next morning, Chunyu Yue came to look for him with a gloomy face.
Seeing his red and swollen eyes and listless appearance, he temporarily put aside the many questions in his mind.
He didn't know what Prince Fusu had done wrong that caused the king to exile him to Yongcheng.
Even though Yongcheng was only three hundred miles away from Xianyang, the three-year-old prince of Qin was driven away by the king, which meant that he was abandoned!
Chunyu Yue followed Fusu in the hope that Fusu would one day become the King of Qin, change the status quo of the Legalists dominating the Qin State, and allow Confucianism to flourish again.
Although Chunyu Yue had many complaints in his heart, he couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw Fusu like this.
Although Prince Fusu was only three years old, he was very diligent and intelligent. While other children were still with their parents and enjoying their love, Fusu was able to calm down and learn poems and essays that he could not understand from him.
It is difficult for adults to persist in practicing calligraphy for a whole day, but Fusu has already gotten into the habit of practicing calligraphy every day at such a young age.
He is a very good student and a very kind child.
Chunyu Yue sighed, is this really the fate of Confucianism?
Fusu's voice was already hoarse. Seeing Chunyu Yue, his eyes began to ache again, but he could no longer cry. He pulled Chunyu Yue's clothes and said, "Sir, I'm sorry for making you go to Yongcheng with me."
"Since I am your teacher, I will naturally go wherever you go! Don't worry, I will definitely help you return to Xianyang as soon as possible!"
Fusu sniffed and nodded slightly.
When Fusu left, he wanted to say goodbye to his father, but Ying Zheng was summoning Wang Jian. He waited outside for a long time but never got the chance to see his father again.
He got into the carriage with his head hung and a dead heart.
Wang Ben, who was escorting Fusu to Yongcheng, was shocked when he saw his appearance.
He is probably the person who knows the Queen Mother best in all of Xianyang. Although he does not understand why the king wants to send Prince Fusu to the care of the Queen Mother, he is sure that the king has no intention of abandoning the prince.
His mission this time was not only to escort Prince Fusu, but also to send a group of people to the Queen Mother. Those people were all selected by the King himself, and they were all talents in the Qin Palace School.
If nothing unexpected happens, these people will be the future officials of the Qin State.
The young master is surrounded by these people, which does not mean he is being exiled. It is clearly to help him accumulate strength.
Besides, there is the Queen Mother——
"Young Master, don't be discouraged. The Queen Mother will like you." Wang Ben approached the carriage and whispered. The Queen Mother was not only very caring towards Young Master Ziying, but was also gentle to her subordinates. She would surely show her concern towards Young Master Fusu as well.
Fusu patted his face, trying to look less depressed. "Thank you, General Wang. I won't make the Queen Mother unhappy."
Huh? Wang Ben was slightly stunned. That wasn't what he meant!
Wang Ben said seriously, "The Queen Mother is a very good person. You will know it when you meet her."
After passing through one door after another, Fusu finally arrived at Liyang Palace.
When they reached the door, Zhang Han stopped them and said, "The Queen Mother is busy and may not be able to see you now."
Wang Ben said, "I came here on the king's orders. I must see the queen mother today."
Zhang Han was wondering in his heart, they haven't done anything wrong recently!
The last time General Wang came here was to arrest someone, so what’s the meaning of bringing a child here this time?
"Let me go in and make an announcement."
Noticing the guard's puzzled look at him, Fusu pursed his lips and became more uneasy.
After a while, the guard hurried back and said, "The Queen Mother wants you to come over. She is waiting for you in the backyard."
Fusu took a deep breath and followed Wang Ben in.
When he arrived at the backyard, Fusu looked at everything in front of him in a daze.
There is a pond behind Liyang Palace. There should have been a large area of green plants beside the pond, but now all the green plants have been cleared away and replaced by a whole piece of turned land.
His eldest mother, the Queen Mother of Qin, tied her hair up with a piece of cloth and changed her clothes into a short brown suit.
Has life been so hard since my mother came here?
Fusu's face was full of questions, and he felt sad for his mother. At the same time, he was also confused about his future life.
Wang Ben was also shocked. He knew that the Queen Mother had farmed before, but seeing her wearing coarse cloth and digging the soil in the field with his own eyes was still hard for him to accept. It was too down-to-earth!
Seeing them coming, Zhao Yuanxi put down his hoe and squatted by the pond to wash his hands. He glanced at the child beside Wang Ben, but didn't pay much attention to him. He smiled and joked, "General Wang, are you in such a hurry to come and pick them up? I haven't had time to notify Doctor Yu yet!"
Wang Ben laughed dryly, "I did not come here for this matter."
He turned sideways, exposing Fusu to Zhao Yuanxi.
Who is he? Zhao Yuanxi frowned!
Fusu saw that the Queen Mother looked as if she didn't recognize him, and his face turned pale instantly. He bit his lower lip, bowed his head to Zhao Yuanxi, and said in a hoarse voice, "Fusu greets the Queen Mother."
?
Zhao Yuanxi was stunned. Fusu, the son of Ying Zheng?
She must have heard it right!
After a long while, she came back to her senses. She suppressed her excitement and spoke in a slow voice, "Why are you here? Did your father ask you to come?"
Hearing the word "father", Fusu blinked, tried hard to force back the tears, lowered his head and replied, "Yes."
"Why did the king ask him to come here?" Zhao Yuanxi asked Wang Ben beside her. Why did such a young child come to her mountain instead of staying in the Qin Palace?
It's impossible to let Fusu come here to observe mourning!
Wang Ben clenched his fist and coughed softly, "The king said to put Prince Fusu with you."
"Is he serious? He doesn't even raise his own son? What kind of father is he?"
Wang Ben wiped the sweat from his palms, pretending not to hear the Queen Mother's scolding, and added, "The King has sent people to take care of Prince Fusu, and he has also sent you fifteen students from the Imperial Academy."
"He should have given me the person. Do you think I should be grateful to him?" Zhao Yuanxi rolled his eyes at him and waved his hand. "Alright, I get it. I'll leave him here, and you can go now!"
