Countdown to Reincarnation (4)
Li Ying: From today on, the King of Qin is the First Emperor!
Li Ying: [Sprinkle flowers][Sprinkle flowers][Sprinkle flowers]
Liu Ju: ???
Liu Ju: What does this have to do with you? What are you excited about?
Li Chengqian: Brother Liu, are you jealous?
Liu Ju: ???
Liu Ju: Why am I jealous?
Li Ying: This is a huge step on my road to success. The First Emperor ascended the throne, and the Crown Prince of Qin is now the Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty. The eldest son will definitely succeed to the throne smoothly in the future! I've completed one-third of my internship mission!
Li Chengqian: Think about your great-grandfather, how can you not feel jealous?
Liu Ju: Thank you for your concern. My great-grandfather has been reincarnated. He has a happy family and a fulfilling life in this life. It couldn’t be better.
Li Ying: Is his wife’s surname Lu?
Liu Ju: ...
Li Chengqian: It is said that Empress Dowager Lü made a wish before her reincarnation that she would never marry Emperor Taizu of Han again.
Liu Ju: Go gossip about your family, what does my family have to do with you!
Li Chengqian: I don't want to be the mother and son of Emperor Hui of Han
Li Ying: Understand, Understand
Fusu: Why doesn’t anyone congratulate me?
Fusu: @Liu Ju @Li Chengqian
Liu Ju: Congratulations [scatter flowers]
Li Chengqian: [scattering flowers] [fireworks]
Li Chengqian: I wish Daqin to reach a higher level
Li Chengqian: @Liu Ju, you are so perfunctory, you are just jealous
Fusu: I understand.
Liu Ju: I’m not jealous!
Liu Ju: I'm not the emperor of the Han Dynasty! I'm not jealous!
Fusu: You certainly don’t know that Xiao He and Chen Ping both passed the exam and came to Xianyang.
Li Chengqian: You are just jealous
Liu Ju: ...
Li Chengqian: Wow, congratulations, Brother Fusu! There are still many talents to be discovered, Brother Fusu [keep it up]
Fusu: Thank you [bowing]
Liu Ju: ...
Liu Ju: Goodbye [waves]
Li Chengqian: [Link]
Fusu: ...
Liu Ju: [Hahahaha]
…
Li Ying, curious, clicked on the video shared by Li Chengqian, and the first sentence that appeared was: "Today, let's summarize the many reasons why the Qin Dynasty fell in the second generation..."
Li Ying quickly turned off his phone and patted his chest: "I'm so scared! I'm so scared!"
Fusu was not angry, he just smiled and said: "Don't pay attention to him."
"People feel refreshed when good things happen to them, Your Highness. Now, is it true that nothing can make you angry?" Li Ying said with a smile.
Fusu smiled and said, "Why don't you give it a try?"
Li Ying quickly shook her head: "No! I'm not stupid!"
Fusu shook his head, packed up the things on hand, picked up the things and left.
Qin's great cause of unification had just been completed, and there was still a lot to do. It was natural that Prince Fusu could not have much free time.
As for the First Emperor, he was even busier.
Ying Zheng has been busy lately with things like standardizing writing, weights and measures, and he's already so busy that he wishes he had twenty-four hours in a day, but someone still has to make things difficult for him.
Wang Wan and others submitted a memorial to the emperor regarding the division of fiefdoms, but Ying Zheng threw the memorial away on the spot.
Fusu happened to walk in. He took a few quick steps and picked up the memorial. After reading only the beginning, he sighed.
"Prime Minister Wang is old."
Ying Zheng, who had been furious, calmed down after hearing this. He beckoned Fusu to come over and sit down, then said, "Wang Wan will remain in this position. Wei is retiring. I intend to promote Li Si to the position of Left Prime Minister."
As he said this, he kept looking at Fusu. Ying Zheng no longer wanted to bother thinking about the reason why his eldest son had been disliking Li Si for years.
Some people may just be born incompatible, there is no reason for it. Fusu will not deliberately make things difficult for Li Si, and it will not delay major matters. Let the eldest son have his private likes and dislikes.
Fusu smiled and said, "Father, I don't have such a big problem with Li Tingwei."
Ying Zheng tapped his forehead with his fingers and said with a smile, "Yes, my prince, you have always been very sensible."
"It's all thanks to my father's teaching." Fusu smiled mischievously, "I am a reddish-red ...
Ying Zheng smiled as he looked at the stack of blueprints Fusu brought over. "Well... naturally. It looks pretty good, but the East Palace is a bit off-center. It needs to be moved over here."
Recently, Ying Zheng plans to build a new imperial palace. The location has been selected and he is currently drawing blueprints and making architectural plans.
Because it involved the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and Feng Shui, the blueprint had been revised three times, but it was obvious that the First Emperor was still not satisfied.
Fusu knew very well why his father was dissatisfied. The central axis of the imperial palace was naturally the front court and the harem. The emperor was the real ruler of the world, and the prince was only the heir to the throne. He could not usurp the throne, so the East Palace had to be a little off to the side.
But the First Emperor felt that this was a bit unfair to his eldest son, so he was not very satisfied with it.
Fusu smiled and said, "Look, father, if we go any further, we will reach the harem. Otherwise, we will have to occupy the front palace, and the East Palace will only be this small. The current location is the most suitable."
Neither the former dynasty nor the harem can be occupied, and it certainly won’t work if it’s too small. Ying Zheng frowned. This version is indeed the most appropriate, and Ying Zheng is very satisfied with the five elements and feng shui.
Ying Zheng traced the blueprint a few times and said, "Then let's expand this side and build you a bigger garden. What do you think?"
Fusu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Father, I also want a place with running water to raise some fish and shrimp."
"Okay, not to mention fish and shrimp, you can raise whatever you want." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
After the blueprints were finalized, Fusu turned the topic back to Wang Wan's memorial: "Father, Prime Minister Wang will undoubtedly raise the issue of enfeoffment again. How about I reject his proposal then? What do you think?"
Ying Zheng shook his head: "Leave it to Li Si. As for this matter, you don't have to say anything."
Fusu was the Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty. His disapproval of the division of fiefdoms meant that he would not allow his brothers to have fiefdoms. Those with common sense would naturally understand that the Crown Prince was considering the overall situation, not personal feelings. I'm afraid some villains would maliciously speculate that the Crown Prince was not forgiving his brothers.
Fusu said, "I understand your concerns, but I think I must express my opinion on this matter, Father."
"We must show people that we are of one mind, father and son. This will also tell those people that such a backward thing as feudal fiefdom will never happen in the Qin Dynasty."
After hearing Fusu's words, Ying Zheng clapped his hands and smiled, saying, "Very good, this makes sense. I will do as you say."
Fusu bowed and smiled, "Thank you, father!"
Ying Zheng said again: "Come, there is one more thing..."
The father and son were busy with various government affairs until sunset. Fusu's stomach growled, and Ying Zheng realized that the candles in the hall had already been lit.
After ordering someone to serve the meal, the father and son washed their hands and went to another room to eat.
Ying Zheng leaned back on the couch, ordered his servants to massage his shoulders and legs, and said with half-closed eyes, "There is one more small matter. I intend to marry your sister to Li You."
Fusu had known this day would come, and he was very calm when he heard it: "Li You has a good personality and a promising future. It would be great for my sister to marry him. But, father, my sister is still young. Should we wait until she reaches the age of 15 before getting married?"
Ying Zheng nodded: "Then wait another two years. Anyway, I have already informed Li Si."
Fusu nodded. After all, the children of the Li family can only choose their father's children as their spouses, and both sides have no choice.
Thinking of this, Fusu jokingly said, "Father, Li You has brothers and sisters. Since you have chosen Li You for my sister so early, do you have an idea of the others?"
Of course, Ying Zheng said that his children's marriages were important. He did have to consider many issues, but whether they were compatible certainly wasn't one of them. So at the moment, he seemed a little nonchalant: "Let's just see which one is the right age."
Fusu's smile suddenly became stiff. He suddenly realized one thing: his father always thought that he didn't like Li Si, so would he no longer consider betrothing Shi Lan to him?
He had always thought that just like in his previous life, his engagement with Shi Lan was a done deal, but he didn't expect that the flutter of a butterfly's wings had changed so many things, perhaps... including this one.
Before, Fusu was still young and it was not the time to consider marriage, but now Yingyue, who is the same age as him, has been betrothed to Li You by her father. What about Shilan, who is one year older than him?
The good news is that Li Si will definitely not marry Shi Lan to anyone else.
The bad news is that his father may not marry Shi Lan to him.
"Hmm?" Seeing Fusu remained silent for a long time, Ying Zheng opened his eyes and looked at him. "Could it be that you have some ideas? Speaking of which, you and Tongyue are about the same age, so it's time for me to consider your marriage."
Fusu said hurriedly, "I'm not in a hurry, Father. I... I can still discuss marriage when I return from Changsha County."
Fusu is the eldest brother. As long as his marriage is not decided, the brothers below him have to wait. In this way, Fusu does not have to worry about Shi Lan being promised to one of his brothers by his father.
Ying Zheng looked at his eldest son for a while, and saw a little nervousness in his eyes. He thought that he was just a child who didn't know anything. He thought about it and realized that when he was this age, he still had the mentality of a child, so it was not surprising.
Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to have a grandson, so he smiled and said, "Then wait until you come back. Then I will definitely choose a few good ones for you."
Fusu thought to himself, there is no need for several, he would be satisfied with just one Shi Lan.
"Thank you, father." Fusu said with a smile.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "If you find something you like in the future, just tell me."
Fusu smiled with sparkling eyes and said, "Thank you, father!"
"Father..." Fusu continued, "Since you've already arranged my sister's marriage to Li You, why don't you take me with you to meet Li You in the next few days when you're free? Although they've met a few times, they've never had a proper conversation."
Nowadays, the separation between men and women is not that strict. It is just a meeting and a conversation. Ying Zheng nodded indifferently: "Okay, let her go by herself."
Fusu smiled and said, "After all, they have never met alone, so I should accompany my sister. Otherwise, the girl will always feel embarrassed."
Ying Zheng laughed: "I just said that we're not in a hurry to get married, and now you know what's on my mind?"
Fusu had his own reasons: "It's written in the book, father. I have read the book."
Ying Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "In my opinion, you just want to be lazy and go out to play. That's all. Go ahead. I'll grant you a day when you want to go."
