First Emperor above

Morning, in court.

Ying Zheng was at the top seat, and on the right was Prince Fusu respectfully. The other officials came down in order, looking extremely solemn and quiet.Only the spies sent back from the battle between Qin and Yan prostrated in front of the hall to report the war.

Ying Zheng supported the dragon chair with one hand, and tapped the dragon table lightly with the other, but he couldn't see his expression clearly.However, according to the spy's report, it seems that the battle is going well.The Yan people have been defeated repeatedly, and their confidence and morale are gone.The ministers are slightly relieved, this should be good news.

In recent years, Ying Zheng's aura has become more and more intimidating, and it is impossible to figure out what he is thinking.But all the courtiers standing in front of him were arrogant and did not dare to make a sound.Yingzheng's thinking seems to be constantly turning, and his plan to dominate the world is almost step by step, steady and steady.Generally, as long as it is what he says, it is basically the final decision.Yingzheng has never made mistakes in controlling the general direction, but he also gave space to the ministers. The ministers have the right to make decisions on many matters, but they all need the final instructions of the prince.However, this is also limited to matters other than military affairs.For all military affairs, Yingzheng will inevitably intervene instead of relying on the hands of the prince.

After the spy had reported everything, Ying Zheng waved the man away, sat on the tall table, and said in an inaudible tone: "The battle of Yanjing, the victory is not far away. However, there is still a happy event recently." Ying Zheng waved to Li Si, and said, "Just tell me."

Li Si responded, took a step forward, saluted Yingzheng, and then said: "The day before yesterday, Xianyang received an envoy sent by the King of Yan, and brought the head of the rebel general Pan Yuqi and the map of Dukang of the State of Yan to present the city to ask for help. and."

Li Si's words immediately caused the courtiers to discuss.Pan Yuqi, the rebel general, was also a general of the Qin Dynasty. He had been on the run for a long time, but he did not expect to escape to the country of Yan.King Yan actually asked for his head to make peace, as a show of sincerity.As for Dukang of Yan State, it is a major city of Yan State.It is not at the same level as the cities that were ceded to Prince Fusu back then.If there is Dukang, it is not an exaggeration to win half of the country of Yan.The ministers are naturally happy.

After all, the attack on Yan took a long time, and it caused a lot of damage to Qin's country.If Du Kang can be obtained without any effort, it will be a great thing.After the truce, the soldiers can rest well and prepare to fight again. The important economic value of Dukang City can also make Qin State stronger.

"What's your opinion on this?" Ying Zheng asked lightly.

Immediately, most of the courtiers responded with "good".But at this moment, the crown prince helped Su cough twice, and asked, "Lord Li, who is that envoy from the Yan Kingdom? How could he come to Xianyang when Qin and Yan were fighting?"

Prince Fusu didn't report to Yingzheng first when he said this, but just said so.This kind of situation has happened many times this year, and Ying Zheng is not surprised at all.And with the actions of the prince Fusu, the current prince has more real power and momentum than before.But only Fusu knew in his heart that all this was just given to him by Ying Zheng.If Yingzheng wants to take it back one day, then he will always have nothing.

But even so Fusu didn't think about raising any confidantes, he just wanted to prove himself in front of Ying Zheng, not to seek to usurp the throne.After all, Fusu didn't want Yingzheng to be jealous of him and die in his hands.Fusu still has a good grasp of this point.Except for some things about his physical condition in his palace, Fu Su carefully concealed them, but he never concealed other things.Fusu knew that Yingzheng must have a way to know what he was doing.And because of his prestige to the old doctor Renhe, Ying Zheng certainly would not have thought that the old doctor was Fusu's real confidant, and would hide some things from him.

Li Si heard the prince's question at this time, and said respectfully: "Return to the prince, this envoy said that he was secretly sent from Yishui, and rode alone to Xianyang, holding the document of King Yan, just to ask for peace. My minister has experienced it, and it is true."

After Fusu heard the word "Yishui", he already had some concerns in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "What's the name of that envoy?"

Li Si replied, "Jing Ke."

Sure enough, Fusu did not expect.Since Yingzheng sent troops to attack Yan this year, Fusu has been paying attention to it all the time, and that time-honored assassin should have come out at this time.But after asking these questions, Fu Su didn't say any more.Ying Zheng hadn't spoken yet, so of course he couldn't say much.

Ying Zheng looked sideways at Fusu at this moment, and in the past few years, Fusu has grown taller, and his small face has also grown, a bit like Ah Fang, a very beautiful young man, but he is too thin and his face is pale .The father and son seem to have nothing to do with each other except for their official business.He has seen Fusu's growth, and he has also noticed that Fusu is careful not to touch his bottom line.

Yingzheng knew what Fusu was thinking, and he didn't want to explain it.Fusu never meddled in military affairs, and Yingzheng was happy to see the results. Fusu was too weak to handle some government affairs.Military affairs are too stressful, and it is really not suitable for Fusu.If it weren't for Fusu's insistence, Ying Zheng might have even withdrawn him as the crown prince.But Ying Zheng also saw the arrogance in Fusu's bones, otherwise he would never have said that kind of thing.

But in front of him, Fusu, who had never been involved in military affairs, was actually interested in this Yan envoy who was suing for peace, which surprised Yingzheng.After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng said, "Su Er, do you think there is anything wrong with the Yan envoy?"

Fu Su froze when he heard the words, this was the first time that Ying Zheng spoke to him in court.On weekdays, all the papers he reviewed were sent to Ying Zheng for review, but Ying Zheng never read them again.The father and son seem to be separated by something, and the words they say most are "see father!" and "get up."

The word "Su'er" also seems to have been absent for a long time.

Fusu was a little dazed, but Yingzheng was not in a hurry, he just looked at him indifferently, with an incomprehensible twinkle in his eyes.

Helping Su to regain his composure, he bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Father, I think this envoy from Yan is strange."

"Oh? How strange? Su Er, why don't you tell me?" Ying Zheng listened with interest.The ministers didn't say a word either, the crown prince never asked about the military, but today he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Fu Su nodded slightly, and said: "I think that this envoy of Yan can cross the warring border alone, and his martial arts alone are already very impressive. Why didn't the King of Yan send such a person to the battlefield? How about sending an envoy to Qin to ask for peace? If King Yan really wants to ask for peace, he can naturally send more envoys. I believe that the generals of Qin know this. The identity of the famous envoy of Yan, my minister doubts."

When the ministers heard what Fusu said, they felt that it was reasonable, and many people started whispering immediately.The envoy of Yan brought the head of the rebel general of the Qin State, as well as the letter of dedicating the city of Dukang City, which is really good news.But after hearing what the crown prince said, what exactly did the Yan envoy want to do?

Fusu said again at this time: "Dukang City is an important city other than the capital for Yan State. But in terms of war, Yan State may be defeated, but it has not yet reached the end of the mountain. They At this moment, offering Du Kang, what is the difference between that and defeat? Why did the King of Yan act like this? Besides, the King of Yan also sent envoys to Qin, and Crown Prince Dan of Yan was that. But dare to ask whether Prince Dan came to Qin At that time, what kind of momentum is it?"

All the ministers fell into silence.

After Fusu said a long series of words, he was a little out of breath, and couldn't help turning sideways and coughing slightly.He hasn't been feeling very well for the past few days. He has a low-grade fever and started coughing the night before.Fusu still endured a few deep breaths today.Don't want others to know.

And now that something about Jing Ke has emerged, Fu Su can't let it develop.Of course Fusu would not say that Jing Ke wanted to assassinate King Qin.But he had to let Ying Zheng improve.

However, what Ying Zheng said at this moment surprised Fu Su.

I saw that Yingzheng stood up after Fusu's voice fell, and walked off the throne seemingly indifferently. The moment he passed by Fusu, he glanced at Fusu, and then said calmly: "The prince seems to be I am very interested in the matter of the envoy of Yan. Then you might as well leave this matter to the crown prince."

After saying this, Ying Zheng signaled to retreat, and walked out of the palace gate without looking back.

Although everyone was a little surprised by Ying Zheng's decision.What does it mean?Does Yingzheng also want the prince to participate in the decision on military affairs in the future?Did Ying Zheng actually start to focus on cultivating the prince's experience in military affairs?Now the prince does not have actual military power, but if it really develops like this, the prince's momentum will be very different again.

As for Fusu, he felt relieved at the moment, and Ying Zheng's decision made it easier for him to act.Fusu hadn't even thought about the others.Afterwards, Fusu summoned Li Si and him back to the Palace of Prince Chu to discuss matters.

A few hours later, Li Si was called to the Yingzheng Office again.Then he told Ying Zheng what he had said between him and the prince in detail.For this, Li Si did not show any impatience. In recent years, he has gotten used to it.Although it is not clear what happened to the father and son, but as a minister, there are some things that can be controlled, and some things are best not to be asked.

"So, Su'er thinks that Jing Ke must have evil intentions and wants to harm the king?" After hearing Li Si's thoughts on helping Su, Ying Zheng's expression was a little subtle.

Li Si said that the prince seemed to be convinced that Jing Ke had other plans.Do everything possible to make Li Si believe this, and execute that person as soon as possible.

In fact, not only Li Si, but even Ying Zheng were a little surprised, because the prince Fusu rarely had the idea of ​​executing people since he took part in political affairs.Even some heinous people, Fusu reported to Yingzheng, and Yingzheng gave orders.It's not that Fusu is hypocritical, but as a modern person with a perfect concept of the legal system, he rarely thinks that life and death can be determined by his words.To put it bluntly, Fusu is not used to it.Ying Zheng also showed that he couldn't put it down.Although he didn't have the idea of ​​not wanting Fusu to be stained with blood, Ying Zheng also considered that the boy was young and in poor health, so it might be really not good to give that kind of order.So I did it on my own.

But this time the prince Fusu seemed determined to kill Jing Ke.This actually made Ying Zheng interested, wanting to see what Jing Ke was going to do.

Ying Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Su'er is very caring. But at this moment, I really want to see what Jing Ke is going to do."

Li Si was stunned, and blurted out: "Your Majesty, you can't do this! Your Majesty knows that Jing Ke has evil intentions, so why would you take such a risk?" Li Si couldn't understand.

When Li Si reported Jing Ke's arrival to Ying Zheng immediately, Ying Zheng sneered and said that this person had evil intentions.But Li Si valued the map in Jing Ke's hand, and seemed a little hesitant.

Ying Zheng calmly said something to Li Si that was almost exactly the same as what Prince Fusu said to him today.It is impossible for King Yan to send only one envoy to seek peace, and Dukang is an inseparable place for King Yan.Therefore, this person must be deceitful.Looking at the people in Yan who can have such a strategy, except for Prince Dan, they don't think about it.He was able to forge King Yan's decree, and he also had the bearing to make the dead willingly serve him. In the Kingdom of Yan, the King of Yan is not to be feared, and Prince Dan is the character.

Moreover, Prince Fusu also said that if Jing Ke really came to assassinate, then Prince Dan must have already made preparations to fight against Qin with other countries.At that time, Qin State will surely face another catastrophe.

Ying Zheng didn't say these things, because in Ying Zheng's concept, it was impossible for him to let this kind of thing happen.

At this time, Ying Zheng said: "Tomorrow, I will summon Jing Ke, envoy of Yan, and ask him to bring Du Kang's map of tribute to the city and the head of the rebel general. This king wants to meet in person."

When Li Si saw Ying Zheng's half-smile expression, those who had been with him for many years should know that Ying Zheng had made up his mind.Li Si sighed secretly, and stepped back after answering "Yes".

It's just that the news that Ying Zheng wanted to summon Jing Ke immediately spread in the palace.It also spread to Fusu's ears immediately.Fusu was drinking traditional Chinese medicine at the moment, but after hearing the report from his subordinate, he held a mouthful of Chinese medicine in his mouth for a long time before swallowing it.Then there was a burst of coughing.

Renhe and several servants stepped forward in a hurry, not wanting to be pushed away by Fusu.Fu Su anxiously said: "Father, how can you make such a decision easily! No, I'm going to see him! He can't meet Jing Ke."

Although Fusu, who is well aware of history, is sure that Jing Ke will not be able to successfully assassinate Qin, but when things come to an end, he will definitely not be able to let this happen again.What if there is an emergency?What if the historical record is wrong?Even if Jing Ke only hurt Ying Zheng, that's not what Fu Su wanted to see.

As for those subordinates, they naturally don't know Fusu's thoughts, but seeing that it's late at night, but the prince is going to enter the palace...is this...okay?

But since it is the prince's order, it must be obeyed.As for whether King Qin will see or not, that is up to King Qin to decide.Is not it?

So Fusu got on the pole and hurried to the palace.I just didn't want to, but Ying Zheng was not in the palace.He was told by the person on duty that Ying Zheng had gone to Mrs. Li's place.

Fusu froze on the shaft at that time.Although Fusu never expected that kind of "just for you" romantic thing to happen to Ying Zheng, what's more, Ying Zheng is the King of Qin, who would dare to stop him from doing what he wants to do?But before Fusu was in the Palace of the Crown Prince, it was so invisible that he couldn't see it. He wouldn't just masochistically think about which woman Ying Zheng was with today, but now it was right in front of his eyes.

Fusu felt uncomfortable like a stone was crushed in his heart.He was worried about Ying Zheng's life and death here, but Ying Zheng was fine, and went to have fun!What is he?The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry?In addition, in recent years, Yingzheng has been indifferent to him, although this situation is also caused by Fusu himself... But, is Yingzheng really indifferent?The bloody bastard.

Fusu couldn't help gnashing his teeth angrily.back to the palace!Don't care about that bastard's life or death!As soon as Fusu uttered such a sentence, his frame started to move back.After all, the attendants who followed him knew in their hearts that disturbing King Qin's rest in the middle of the night, wasn't he courting death?So move fast.

But what I didn't expect was that after walking a few steps, Fusu said again: "Stop! Go to Concubine Li."

Aha?The attendants were almost on the verge of tears.The harem is not something they can enter, even the crown prince can't go!Although Prince Fusu seemed to have lived in the palace, King Qin also doted on him and never said anything.But now it is the middle of the night after all, disturbing King Qin's good deeds, can they still live?

"What's the matter? Let's go!" Fusu frowned and said in a surprisingly bad tone.

The attendants were speechless and could only turn towards the inner palace.He met many obstacles along the way, and was scolded by the prince to go away.The attendants suddenly felt that the prince is really great!The prince is probably the only one who is not afraid of Yingzheng.

God knows, at this moment, Prince Fusu is holding his breath in his heart!
