Chapter 336: Qualified Crown Prince
Ying Zheng was living in the royal tent. When he heard that the queen mother had returned, he went out to greet her.
Zhao Yuanxi was about to get off the car when she saw Ying Zheng reaching out his hand to her. After a moment's pause, she smiled and put her hand on him. Looking at the ministers behind her, she lowered her voice and asked, "What are you doing?"
"To welcome the Queen Mother, of course."
"This is too much noise."
Ying Zheng smiled without saying anything, his eyes falling on the children behind her. He saw Xiang Yu at first sight. This was because everyone was bowing their heads respectfully at this moment, except for that young man who was looking at him angrily, which was too conspicuous.
Did the Queen Mother bring back a general for herself, or did she bring back a rebel?
He clearly saw murderous intent in the boy's eyes, and looking at the shackles on him, did he think he had not been tamed yet?
If it can't be tamed, then you can only kill it!
Fusu noticed the murderous intent in his father's eyes and pulled at the corner of Xiang Yu's clothes. Only then did Xiang Yu reluctantly lower his head.
Ying Zheng snorted softly, then looked at Zhao Yuanxi, "Did the Queen Mother find the person you were looking for?"
"I found it. Han Xin, come here."
Han Xin lowered his head and stepped forward, bowing deeply to Ying Zheng. "I am Han Xin, the humble servant, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"No need to be polite."
He was just a young boy, and Ying Zheng could not see any talent in him, so he asked him a few questions casually. He found that he could answer them fluently, and then he really looked at him differently.
"He is quite clever, but a little young."
I heard that this person has some connections with the old Korean aristocracy. I didn't expect that such a small country like Korea is also full of talented people.
Ying Zheng looked at him with satisfaction and said, "In that case, you will stay with Fusu as the prince's companion and assist him."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Han Xin had no military achievements and was still young. Even if Ying Zheng knew some of his abilities, he could not throw him into the military camp right away. It would be better to leave him to Fusu. If the world was still in chaos in the future, Fusu would not be without help.
Ying Zheng has been thinking a lot these days. He never regrets taking over the six kingdoms so quickly. Since he has the strength, shouldn't he conquer them early?
However, he also reflected on the problems that arose in the process of Qin's governance of the world, and he was surprised to find that the queen mother had already told him the solutions to these problems.
She even made many attempts to do so.
What he wanted was never just for the Qin State to exist in his hands. He wanted the Qin State to be passed down for hundreds and thousands of generations, so he had to train a qualified crown prince for the Qin State.
Since the Queen Mother chose Fusu, he would give Fusu a chance. However, if he was not up to the task, Ying Zheng would choose another qualified successor from among the other princes.
At present, Fusu is indeed a qualified crown prince.
Fusu's whole body tensed up and cold sweat broke out on his palms. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until his father looked away.
"Then who are these two people?"
Seeing Ying Zheng asking about Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang, Zhao Yuanxi explained, "We caught two Chu fugitives on the way. Both of them are members of the Xiang family."
"Descendants of Xiang Yan? What are we going to do with them?"
When Xiang Yu heard this, he glared at Ying Zheng fiercely, but Fusu glared back at him, so he could only lower his head.
Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help laughing, "You see, he listens to Fusu more! Okay, let's go! Let them solve it themselves!"
Zhao Yuanxi dragged Ying Zheng away. Ying Zheng looked at the Queen Mother suspiciously, "What is the Queen Mother planning now?"
"You left Han Xin to Fusu, so having Xiang Yu here won't be a big deal. Don't worry, he can't get out of Fusu's hands."
"The Queen Mother is so sure?"
"He's right under your nose anyway, just watch him! If you can't do it, just kill him!"
Seeing Grandmother and the Emperor walking away, Fusu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiang Yu dissatisfiedly, "You are too reckless. Since Grandmother is willing to spare your life, you must be honest. The Emperor is not as easy to talk to as Grandmother. If he really wants to kill you, no one can save you."
"I didn't ask you to save me!" Xiang Yu turned his head away unconvinced. Sure enough, this little prince only had his eldest mother and father in his heart.
Ziying came over and said sarcastically, "Since you don't want us to save you, then go die now! Look, there's the sea not far away. Jump in and no one will save you!"
"you……"
"Hmph, if you still want to live, then behave yourself. If you cause my brother to be punished, I won't forgive you!"
Xiang Yu glared at Ziying, "I, Xiang Yu, am a man of integrity and will never bring trouble to others!"
"Your stupidity itself will cause trouble for others!"
"You're not that smart."
"Anyway, I'm smarter than you."
The big and the small started arguing in public. Although Ziying was small in stature, his voice was no less than Xiang Yu's. Xiang Yu had never quarreled with anyone like this before. After fighting several times, he was at a disadvantage and was scolded by Ziying.
Xiang Yu had never hated anyone so much. This little fat man was even more annoying than the queen mother.
Fusu quickly pulled them apart, feeling a headache. "Alright, stop arguing. Ziying, go check on Grandmother first."
He turned to look at Xiang Yu, "Aji, since you regard me as a friend, you should also respect my family."
"Got it. I won't bother with that brat next time."
"You are just a little kid. You are not much older than me. You are just taller than me! I eat a lot and will soon be taller than you! You reckless man!" Ziying, who had not had time to walk away, turned back and cursed again in anger.
"Ziying." Fusu shouted.
Ziying hummed, "I know, I'll go find my mother!"
Fusu sighed deeply. He felt that he was bearing a burden that did not belong to him at his age, so he had to let the guards take Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang away.
Xiang Liang had gradually become numb and was no longer surprised by his nephew's abnormal behavior. Perhaps it was because he did not know how to educate children that he raised Xiang Ji to be like this. He felt really ashamed to see his elder brother in the underworld.
However, this might also be a way out given by God to the Xiang family. If they fell into the hands of the Qin people, they would have been dead for sure, but neither the Queen Mother nor the little prince had any intention of taking their lives. Even the King of Qin, who had just decided to kill them, did not even glance at them.
Thinking of this, Xiang Liang couldn't help but glance at his nephew suspiciously. Seeing that he had returned to his usual self, he asked tentatively, "Are you deliberately befriending the young prince in order to gain his trust and save your life so you can take revenge one day?"
"Ah? Uncle, what do you mean? When have I, Xiang Yu, ever pretended to flatter others just to survive?" Xiang Yu was filled with righteous indignation, looking as if he was looked down upon.
Xiang Liang didn't know whether to say that Xiang Ji was acting too well or that he was expressing his true feelings, but no matter what, since this was the path Xiang Ji had chosen, let him go on his own. He couldn't help Xiang Ji now!
