Otherwise, how could Li Xin's father have suddenly taken a concubine and had a child in his forties?
Why didn't you do this sooner?
This scene is truly one of fatherly love and filial piety!
certainly.
He's misunderstood.
If Li Lin were truly the First Emperor's son, the First Emperor would be overjoyed; he would be content to die with a smile on his face.
[Oh no, oh no! That damned eunuch must have misunderstood what I was doing with His Majesty! Alas, my impeccable reputation built up over the past decade is ruined just like that!]
"Halt! Gao Shu, you mean Fusu? Where is Fusu now?"
The First Emperor's attention was completely different from Li Lin's.
He is a gentleman, so naturally he wouldn't have so many inappropriate, lewd thoughts.
Because if he wants something, he won't just fantasize about it; he'll usually just go straight for real action.
"Your Majesty, Prince Fusu has arrived at Dianchi Lake. He has dispatched his attendant Mengyin to Xianyang to await Your Majesty's next orders!"
"Oh? We've arrived at Dianchi Lake so quickly!"
The First Emperor was somewhat surprised; a month!
They arrived at Dianchi Lake in just one month?
In his memory, the fastest he could return from the Great Wall was more than two months.
This was under the circumstances of Meng Tian's rapid military march.
How come it only takes a little over a month to get here?
"Your Majesty, Prince Fusu took a mountain path and a shortcut, crossing mountains and valleys all the way here. He didn't take the official road, so his speed was more than twice as fast as usual!"
"This silly child, does he really want to see me that much?"
Upon hearing this, the First Emperor shook his head and smiled. Traveling along mountain paths has always been unsafe.
This also shows that Fusu was highly skilled and daring.
For other people, such a long distance...
Who would walk on mountain roads forever?
How dangerous and steep is the mountain road?
Moreover, bandits were rampant in various places, and even if the roads were passable, human-caused disasters were unavoidable.
If you encounter a ruthless opponent, you're doomed.
"Your Majesty, Prince Fusu is extremely filial to you; this is truly a blessing for Your Majesty!"
"Hmph! I don't want him to be filial in this respect!"
Upon hearing this, the First Emperor couldn't help but laugh; he truly couldn't keep a straight face.
Was Fusu filial?
joke!
He's such a filial son!
Back when he was in Xianyang, he was always at odds with me and always made me miserable.
He was not as smart and sensible as Hu Hai.
Knowing that I am busy with state affairs, he specially made me some late-night snacks.
Oh, right.
Why haven't I seen Huhai these days?
"Your Majesty is joking. So, what does Your Majesty intend to do about Prince Fusu?"
"Let him wait at Dianchi Lake for the arrival of Li Lin, the Crown Prince's tutor and the current Prime Minister!"
"Ah? Your Majesty, you really want to..."
"Um!"
"Your Majesty, what virtue or ability do I, Li, possess to truly be obligated to teach Prince Fusu..."
"Hmph, I say you can teach, so you can teach! If you dare to disobey me again, don't blame me for not allowing Manyin to marry you today!"
"Ah? Your Majesty, I, Li Lin, am knowledgeable in astronomy and geography. Let alone teaching Prince Fusu to become a talent, even if I were to teach a donkey, the donkey would start talking!"
"Hahaha, you good-for-nothing! How dare you spout such nonsense! Go home and prepare. At noon, bring your men to the palace to receive me. I will personally officiate your wedding!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Li Lin was overjoyed.
He hurriedly said goodbye and left in a hurry.
My wedding was personally officiated by His Majesty! My God, I can brag about that for the rest of my life...
"Hahaha, this rascal is really impatient! Look at him, it's just getting married, why is he in such a hurry?"
Today is the day when the First Emperor smiled the most in history.
He didn't even know how many times he had laughed today.
In short, he felt happy and wanted to laugh whenever he saw Li Lin's appearance.
Before Li attended court,
Grand court assemblies and morning court sessions are never as harmonious as this; when there are criticisms, some people even openly fight.
As people's status has risen in recent years, they have become more reserved.
After Li Lin began attending court, the atmosphere in the court became increasingly harmonious.
However, this harmonious development resulted in open competition turning into covert struggle.
The situation in the imperial court has become even more complex.
"Your Majesty, this is a very important matter in your life! Besides, isn't it a good thing that Li Lin has such a flaw?"
"Yes, this rascal is really too perfect. If it weren't for his flaws, I might not have dared to entrust him with all the power of the prime minister."
"In my humble opinion, his obsession with power is not as great as his obsession with beautiful women. Your Majesty could, after the princess marries into the family, occasionally bestow some beautiful women upon him. I guarantee he will be eternally grateful to Your Majesty!"
"Haha, maybe!"
The First Emperor shook his head and did not accept Gao Shu's suggestion.
Because Gao Shu doesn't understand.
Rewarding someone with a beautiful woman can only appease them temporarily, but not forever.
The best approach is to win people's hearts.
As for how to win people's hearts.
Even the First Emperor has not fully grasped it; it is a supreme field of knowledge.
And right now, he's only just begun.
