Chapter 252 Ying Zheng: What do you think of Fusu?

Chapter 252 Ying Zheng: What do you think of Fusu?

Chunyu Yue was the leader of the Confucianists in the Qin Dynasty. He enjoyed a great reputation and had many disciples.

Now I have to apologize to a warrior.

And you have to go to his house and get the forgiveness of this warrior.

This is a humiliation for Chunyu Yue!

But, he had to do it.

For myself, and even more for Fusu!

Inside Zhangtai Palace!

Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng were chatting and dealing with memorials at the same time, and time passed by.

Soon it was time for dinner.

"Your Majesty."

"The meal is ready, shall we serve it?"

Zhao Gao's voice rang out outside the palace.

“Time flies.”

"It's already noon."

Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hand and said with some fatigue.

"Your Majesty is truly diligent."

Looking at the pile of memorials on the desk, Zhao Feng sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"The Great Qin has a vast territory, and there are many memorials sent from various counties every day. All matters need to be handled by me. If I miss anything, it may lead to a disaster."

"I would rather be tired than see those places suffer." Ying Zheng said seriously.

"Your Majesty is a holy king." Zhao Feng said with sincere admiration.

Zhao Feng naturally admired Ying Zheng's diligence, but deep down, he had his own thoughts.

"When the Qin Dynasty really ends and a new dynasty is established, I must train Qi'er, and then I will lead the army out to conquer and pick up attributes."

"Otherwise it would be too boring to sit and deal with memorials all the time." Zhao Feng thought secretly in his heart.

It's good to be an emperor.

But it’s not good to review memorials all day long.

"I have said so much and am so tired, don't you understand?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng and said with some jealousy.

"What do I know?"

Zhao Feng was stunned.

He really didn't understand this.

"Your Majesty."

"You won't let me help you?"

"This is what the crown prince did. It has nothing to do with me." Zhao Feng thought of something and waved his hands repeatedly.

Upon hearing this.

Ying Zheng smiled.

Then he threw the empty medicine bottle on the table at Zhao Feng.

When Zhao Feng saw the medicine bottle, he immediately understood.

“Ohhhh.”

"It turns out to be a spirit-boosting pill."

"Then I understand."

"I will have someone deliver it to the king tomorrow." Zhao Feng said immediately with a smile.

Then something occurred to me.

"Your Majesty."

"Has Xu Fu, the palace's chief alchemist, not returned yet?" Zhao Feng asked curiously.

"No." Ying Zheng also shook his head and asked, "But why are you so concerned about this person?"

"I'm just curious about him." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.

Xu Fu.

There is also a large amount of records in history.

In his previous life, Zhao Feng loved studying history and was familiar with many historical figures.

But now, living in the land of China in this era, I have become a key link in the history of this era.

Zhao Feng was very curious about Xu Fu.

This person's origins are a mystery, and it seems that he came to the Qin Palace because of his duty. Moreover, after the Qin King issued an edict to kill all the alchemists in the palace, Zhao Feng also studied the poison pills made by the palace alchemist with some curiosity.

After research.

Zhao Feng was also a little surprised.

Because in addition to the toxicity of heavy metals, these poison pills actually contain the pharmacology of alchemists. Taking the elixir can refresh the mind and increase strength. The medicinal properties of these elixirs are still there.

But the poison pill seemed to be added deliberately.

That is to say.

This Xu Fu might really have mastered the art of alchemy.

If Zhao Feng had not mastered the alchemist's inheritance, perhaps it would not be visible.

In order to unearth the secrets of this world, whether there are cultivators or immortals, Zhao Feng feels that Xu Fu is a breakthrough.

"What is there for a sinner to be curious about?"

"It would be best if he just hid for the rest of his life."

"Otherwise, if he dares to show up, I will tear him into pieces." Ying Zheng said coldly.

Being poisoned by these alchemists would surely lead to death in the long run, so how could Ying Zheng not hate them?

"This Xu Fu will definitely come back."

Zhao Feng said with a somewhat confident tone.

"The news of the wanted order has spread. How could you have expected Xu Fu to return?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.

"I don't know how to explain it, but I am very sure." Zhao Feng also didn't know how to explain.

Could it be that Xu Fu entered Qin just to kill the King of Qin?

This doesn't seem to make sense.

But Zhao Feng was very sure in his heart.

If Xu Fu was really a cultivator, then he must have a purpose.

King Qin is definitely his target.

If the King of Qin is not dead, then his goal has not been achieved and he will definitely come back in the future.

certainly.

It is also possible that Zhao Feng was wrong.

"Then I will wait for the day when Xu Fu comes back." Ying Zheng laughed.

At this time!

The palace door opened.

Zhao Gao called a group of servants over and set up a table with cushions.

All the delicious dishes of this era were placed on the table, and there was also fine wine.

"What else do you want, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Gao asked respectfully.

"Back off." Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"I'll take my leave."

Zhao Gao bowed, left with his servants, and closed the palace door.

"I am here to pour wine for the king."

Zhao Feng directly picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Ying Zheng.

"I even specially asked the palace to go to Jiuxianlou to purchase fine wine for the palace, but I didn't expect it was yours." Ying Zheng still felt a little jealous.

"Your Majesty didn't ask, so how dare I say anything?" Zhao Feng replied with a smile.

"When did the construction start?" Ying Zheng picked up the wine jar and asked after taking a sip.

"I was appointed deputy general when I was in Weicheng." Zhao Feng said with a smile.

"Sure enough." Ying Zheng nodded without any surprise.

"Actually."

"If you really want to hide it, it's indeed careless."

"According to the investigation of Black Ice Platform."

"The first Jiuxianlou was opened in Weicheng, and that is why I concluded that it is related to you," Ying Zheng said.

Zhao Feng smiled and said, "I opened a restaurant openly and aboveboard. The laws of the Qin Dynasty do not say that military officers cannot open restaurants. It doesn't matter if others know about it."

"You are a very thoughtful boy."

"Do you really think I will be fooled by you?" Ying Zheng smiled faintly, with a look in his eyes that saw through Zhao Feng.

Under this gaze.

Even though Zhao Feng is now in a high position and possesses power that ordinary people cannot possess, he is still secretly nervous.

"As expected of Qin Shi Huang."

"Although I am just a mortal, this natural kingly pressure is really suffocating." Zhao Feng sighed secretly in his heart.

"Well, I confess."

"I have also trained some death warriors."

"It's hidden in the mansion, and in the old house in Shaqiu."

"The number is probably around one thousand." Zhao Feng decided to confess something.

"hehe."

Ying Zheng smiled and didn't say anything more.

He is very cunning and crafty towards his son.

He said a thousand people, but it must be more.

However, Ying Zheng didn't know exactly how many people were there. After all, he only knew about the Jiuxian Tower and that there were assassins guarding it, but even the Black Ice Platform had never found out the exact number of people there.

The Black Ice Platform permeates the world.

But he couldn't penetrate into Yan Ting at all, and neither could he penetrate into Jiuxian Tower.

"What do you think of Wang Wan?" Ying Zheng asked.

"He has violated the laws of the Qin Dynasty, so he must be dealt with according to the national law." Zhao Feng said without hesitation.

After collecting the evidence of Wang Wan's crimes, the crime that could be charged against Wang Wan based on those evidences was the crime of genocide.

Especially the one about embezzling land.

In this era, the land is vast and the population is sparse, but in the Qin Dynasty, all the land is under the control of the imperial court.

Only warriors with titles can be granted land, which can be passed down from generation to generation.

But ordinary people also have land to cultivate, which is directly granted by the government, but they only have the right to cultivate, not the right to own.

It was these fields that Wang Wan was controlling. He used his power as prime minister to take control of the land.

In addition.

There is also the trafficking of official slaves.

What are official slaves?

The elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty conquered various countries, and the number of powerful people and their families from the destroyed countries reached thousands, in addition to the soldiers captured on the battlefield.

Before the Qin Dynasty implemented the policy of convict army, there were countless slaves.

It can be said to be the source of the slave trade.

With the implementation of the criminal army, Wang Wan and his colleagues' business declined slightly, but they are still doing it.

After all, a lot of slaves were obtained in the war to annihilate the country.

perhaps.

Wang Wan and his men targeted Zhao Feng from the very beginning not only to help Fusu, but also for their own selfish reasons. After all, Zhao Feng was the one who really affected their interests.

"What they have committed is the crime of genocide." Ying Zheng said slowly.

"Since you have committed the crime of genocide, then let's exterminate your entire clan." Zhao Feng sneered without any mercy.

"You've really made up your mind."

"Even if you preserve Wang Wan's bloodline, it doesn't count as a complete break."

"Wang Wan represents the interests of the old nobles. If you let Wang Wan's family be exterminated, you will become a thorn in their eyes in the future." Ying Zheng was still very serious.

now.

He was not speaking to Zhao Feng as the King of Qin, but as a father, but Zhao Feng didn't know it yet.

In Ying Zheng's view.

Even if Zhao Feng regains his identity in the future, he may still need help.

If they were completely offended, these old nobles would completely fight against Zhao Feng to the death. Although Zhao Feng is now facing off against Wang Wan, if he leaves a way out, it will also be left for the future.

"It's a thorn in my side, so be it."

"I am not afraid of them."

"This time, I will use the lives of Wang Wan's entire family to tell those people in the court to stop playing tricks on me. If they dare to play tricks, I will fight to the end."

Since Ying Zheng cared so much, Zhao Feng did not hide it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wang Wan?

The old nobles in the Qin court? Zhao Feng is really not afraid.

"It's up to you if you decide." Ying Zheng said no more.

on the contrary.

Zhao Feng's courage made him feel recognized.

After all, this is what Ying Zheng adhered to.

Revenge must be taken.

"If you want to deal with Wang Wan, I will be the chief officer." Zhao Feng spoke again.

Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Feng and finally nodded: "Okay."

It was at this time.

"Your son Fusu, begs to see your father."

Fusu's voice sounded outside the palace.

"Come here and beg for mercy." Zhao Feng laughed when he heard it.

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Come in."

The palace door opened.

Fusu walked quickly into the hall, and when he was only ten feet away from Ying Zheng, he knelt down.

"Your son pays homage to your father." Fusu bowed his head.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Ying Zheng said in a cold tone.

There was no gentle attitude towards Zhao Feng.

"Perhaps he had placed too much hope on Fusu. Now Fusu's performance has disappointed the King of Qin, and he doesn't even want to pay attention to Fusu anymore."

"That's probably why Fusu was exiled to the northern border in history."

"Discussing national policies, the Great Wall, and laws without permission." Zhao Feng thought to himself.

Fusu raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng with an earnest expression on his face: "Father."

"Prince Wang has violated the law of the country. There is sufficient evidence. I know I shouldn't plead for him."

"But Wang Xiang has served the Qin Dynasty for many years and has made great contributions."

"I also ask my father to consider that Wang Xiang has served the Qin Dynasty for many years and grant favors to Wang Xiang's descendants instead of implicating the entire clan."

Speaking of.

Fusu kowtowed to Ying Zheng.

"Why are you here?"

"Rather than Wang Wan's disciples and former officials?" Ying Zheng asked in a cold tone.

"Although I have never been a disciple of Prime Minister Wang, the Prime Minister has always taken care of me and taught me. I am half a disciple of Prime Minister Wang, so it is reasonable for me to come here." Fusu replied loudly.

"Then do you know the foundation of our great Qin nation?" Ying Zheng asked, staring at Fusu.

"The foundation of the Qin Empire is law and order."

"I naturally understand."

"But there is human nature beneath the law," Fusu replied.

"If everyone respects human feelings under the law, what will the Great Qin be like? What will the Great Qin be like in the future when it rules the world?"

"Humanity is selfish."

"Everyone is concerned about personal relationships, so where is the law? Daqinhe Village?" Ying Zheng said again, his tone even colder.

When Wang Wan was captured in the court today.

Ying Zheng also thought that Fusu would come to plead for Wang Wan, but no smart person would come.

But Fusu is not that smart guy.

"Your son...your son..."

Faced with Ying Zheng's pressure, Fusu didn't know how to respond, because everything his father said was the truth.

"Back off."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and didn't want to say anything more to Fusu.

"My son, I'll take my leave."

Fusu gritted his teeth and left the Zhangtai Palace with reluctance.

After he left.

"Originally I thought he wouldn't come."

"Because a smart person would not come to beg for mercy at this moment." Ying Zheng said slowly.

"Although the eldest prince is not a smart man, he is a kind and righteous person." Zhao Feng commented.

This is indeed Zhao Feng's impression of Fusu.

How to say it?

On ability.

After so many years of training by Ying Zheng, Fusu did have the ability, but the training was in the wrong direction.

He is indeed a kind-hearted person, and he puts benevolence and righteousness first.

He completely absorbed Confucian knowledge.

But this is not exactly what the king learned.

It did not achieve what Ying Zheng wanted.

Apart from the Qin Dynasty, there were only Qi and Chu left in China, and the country was about to be unified.

The successor that Ying Zheng wanted to train must be able to suppress the world and the court.

From Fusu's words, human relations and national laws are not the essence of a crown prince.

No wonder Ying Zheng became increasingly disappointed.

"Renyi, maybe."

Ying Zheng sneered at this compliment.

Above the royal power and in a high position, benevolence and righteousness may be desirable to the people below, but if you are too benevolent and righteous, sooner or later you will be swallowed up by the officials in the court and by those who will destroy Qin.

"Do you hate Fusu?"

Ying Zheng came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Feng with great concern and asked.

"Your Majesty."

"How dare I hold any grudge against the eldest prince?" Zhao Feng immediately replied in a serious tone.

"I ask you the truth."

"Fusu's people have repeatedly fought with you, so it's reasonable for you to hate Fusu." Ying Zheng sighed.

In fact, he was a little worried in his heart.

In the future, he recognized Zhao Feng and restored his identity.

He will be the crown prince or even the king one day.

How will Zhao Feng treat Fusu? How will he treat his brothers and sisters? If the brothers really ended up killing each other, how could Ying Zheng bear it?

"Why should I hate the eldest son?"

"Speaking of which."

"The eldest son is indeed kind and righteous."

"He has always wanted to repair his relationship with me, but he can't help it."

"Speaking of which."

"His problem is that he has been corrupted by Confucianism and is too pedantic and rigid."

"Do you think he has a big problem?"

"I really can't find it." Zhao Feng smiled and said frankly.

Regarding Fusu.

No opinion.

He was completely manipulated by Wang Wan and others, who seemed to support Fusu as the crown prince and fight for the position of the crown prince.

In fact, it was to find a puppet that could be manipulated.

Fusu represented their interests.

And Fusu's character will be just right to protect their interests in the future.

When Chunyu Yue first started targeting him, Fusu came to apologize, and the same was true for everything that happened afterwards.

This can be seen from the above.

hatred? That's not the case yet.

Because Zhao Feng never regarded Fusu as an opponent.

And think about Fusu's future fate.

Just for the sake of Ying Zheng's face, Zhao Feng would save Fusu's life. Based on Ying Zheng's kindness to him over the years, Zhao Feng would not let history repeat itself and let Ying Zheng's bloodline be wiped out in the end.

The great First Emperor! The first emperor who unified China.

Eventually, the bloodline died out at the hands of his own son.

Zhao Feng was somewhat resentful in his previous life, let alone now that he has the ability.

Even if Qin perishes in the future, Zhao Feng will protect Ying Zheng's bloodline and ensure their safety throughout their lives even if they no longer have wealth and glory.

“I can’t help myself!”

"hehe."

"You hit the nail on the head." Ying Zheng smiled and felt relieved.

Ying Zheng naturally believed what Zhao Feng said.

It can also be seen that he really does not hate Fusu.

"Then what do you think of Hu Hai?" Ying Zheng asked again.

"I have not met him many times and don't know him well." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.

This person is Hu Hai.

Completely incompetent.

But his thoughts are very deep.

He doesn't show it now, but once he really sits in that position, his true nature will be exposed.

Killing brothers and sisters.

Even torture.

The huge Qin Empire was destroyed by him. Zhao Feng really couldn't find words to describe such a ruthless and ungrateful person.

He is not even worthy of being a human being.

"It's okay if you don't understand." Ying Zheng smiled slightly and did not continue the topic.

"I'm back this time."

"The war in Yan is over."

"From now on, you should have a good rest in Xianyang."

"When you can make another contribution to the Qin Dynasty by destroying another country, I will promote you to the position of national commander." Ying Zheng changed the subject and said to Zhao Feng with some expectation.

Zhao Feng was shocked, and then immediately said: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."
