"The kings fight for the world, the princes fight for the territory, the officials fight for rights, the scholars fight for status, and the people fight for food and clothing. So, in fact, from the beginning, your father and the emperor fought for
They are different from the princes, they stand at different heights, and their achievements are naturally different."
"No matter which of your kings has the surname, the height they stand on is actually not as high as your father!"
In the inner history zone of Guanzhong, An Qisheng took the thirteen-year-old Fusu around and began to travel around, studying everywhere and participating in political affairs.
"Even Duke Xiao of Qin, King Huiwen of Qin, King Wu of Qin, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King An Guo, and King Zhuangxiang of Qin, in my opinion, they are not as good as your father."
"If there is a person in this world who can keep pace with your father, it is only the former Emperor Yao, but his identity restricted him, and he himself gave up, or because his status was too high, he chose to give up on his own initiative.
"
"For this reason, in the whole world, your father and Emperor Yao are the two people that the teacher admires the most!"
Fusu looked at his teacher in disbelief. The teacher's arrogance was the first he had ever seen in his life, but he did not expect that the teacher spoke so highly of his father and Emperor Yao.
"So, what are you fighting for when the teacher brings me back to Xianyang?" Fusu is not stupid. On the contrary, he has been trained by An Qisheng for so long. He is very smart and quickly realized what An Qisheng is fighting for when he brings him back to Xianyang.
"Competing for favor!" An Qisheng said with a smile.
"Except for the identity of the eldest son of Da Qin, you are nothing else now, and even this eldest son's identity is actually not solid!"
"You don't know how many killers and assassins have come to assassinate you over the years!"
"Some of them are plotting against Qin, and some are from Xianyang!"
"It's just that your cheap uncle did a good job and helped you get rid of these assassins in secret."
Fusu was silent. It wasn't that he didn't know, but that he couldn't do anything about it because he was too young and had no ability to protect himself.
And he knows better that his teacher and uncle are his current talismans, and even his father may not protect him.
"So, what you have to fight for is your father's favor and recognition, because you are your father's eldest son first, and then the eldest son of Great Qin. The order of succession should never be mistaken."
"Only with your father's favor and approval, no one in the world will dare to shake your status." An Qisheng continued.
Originally, in their plan, they had not planned to take Fusu back to Xianyang so early, but the plan could not keep up with the change.
Because they learned that the First Emperor already had many children, and Fusu was away from home all year round, Ying Zheng doted on the young eighteenth son Hu Hai even more.
There is a folk saying that parents who love their children will favor the youngest son.
Therefore, An Qisheng had no choice but to take precautions, so he decided to take Fu Su back to Xianyang to meet Ying Zheng and make him his wife!
"But when it comes to fighting for favor, teachers are not good at it, but they know who is good at it!" An Qisheng said with a smile.
It won't be long before he returns to Xianyang and Qin Palace, because An Qisheng plans to take Fusu to learn how to win favor!
"Who?" Fusu was curious.
"Shangqing, Guo Kai!" An Qisheng said with a smile.
"Lord Shangqing? Competing for favor?" Fusu was a little stunned.
It's not that he has never heard of Guo Kai's name. Among the people, Guo Kai's reputation is second only to his father, and to a certain extent, even higher than his uncle and Lord Wu An.
The people respected and feared their uncle and Lord Wu An, but they respected and loved Guo Kai from the bottom of their hearts.
Among officials and nobles, Guo Kai's reputation was also very good. Even in Fusu's imagination, Guo Kai was an almost perfect being.
The most upright official in the Qin Dynasty, this is no joke.
But why in the words of his teacher, this Lord Shangqing is actually a favorite who strives for favor!
"In fact, there is no conflict between favored ministers and capable ministers. This on the contrary proves that Guo Kai is a truly capable minister!" An Qisheng actually admires Guo Kai. At least in terms of being an official, he feels that Guo Kai has no one. Out to the right.
Think about a man who was extremely corrupt in the Qin Dynasty. However, the people did not believe that he was corrupt, and the nobles did not dare to accuse him of being corrupt. Therefore, a model of an upright official in the Qin Dynasty was pushed out by everyone.
This is also related to Guo Kai's behavior. He is extremely greedy, but he doesn't look down on the common people. He doesn't even allow people around him to be greedy for three melons and two dates. What he is greedy for is the tens, hundreds or even thousands of dollars in the hands of the nobles. Tens of millions of dollars of wealth can make the nobles take the initiative and give it willingly, even if they can't accept it.
An Qisheng also admired this ability.
Similarly, Ying Zheng also knew that Guo Kai was corrupt. The memorials to impeach Guo Kai in the Yushitai could be piled up in the Yushitai and the entire Qinian Palace. However, Guo Kai was still the Qin State's top minister and the chief of all ministers. .
Therefore, what An Qisheng wanted Fusu to learn was Guo Kai's ability. Even if he only learned three points, it would be enough for Fusu to defeat his brothers and sisters.
"Guo Kai, I have met His Royal Highness the eldest son and the Chief Fu!" In the Guo Mansion, Guo Kai heard that Fusu and An Qisheng were paying their respects. He hurriedly ordered people to open the two doors of the mansion, went out to greet him in person, and showed his posture. extremely low.
An Qisheng was also looking at Guo Kai. He had met Guo Kai before, but was not familiar with him. However, after just such a meeting, he understood why Guo Kai was so comfortable in the official court. Just by this gesture of treating others, It's evident.
Fusu was not a prince yet, he was just a wandering eldest son. He had almost no power and was completely unworthy of such a high-ranking official.
But Guo Kai did it, and it even made people feel like a spring breeze.
Fusu even had a good impression of Guo Kai at the first sight, feeling that he was one of his own, an elder in his family, and an elder in his family.
After walking into Shangqing's Mansion, An Qisheng looked around at the entire Shangqing's Mansion. It was not luxurious, it could even be said to be a bit shabby. There were no carved railings and jade, and there was no gold and jade in the hall. It looked very simple and clean, as if it were real.
It is a noble family.
Just looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, An Qisheng retracted his guilt of mistaking Guo Kai for being an upright official. Every flower and plant in the entire courtyard would be a rare treasure in the world.
Look at the bamboo slips on the bookshelf, all of them are famous calligraphers’ notes, and the swords on the sword stand are all ancient and famous swords!
It can be said that if any of these seemingly ordinary things goes out, thousands of people will rob them, and they have a price but no market.
Looking at the food Guo Kai served them, it was also simple vegetable soup, without even a hint of meat.
"The boiled cabbage in Sichuan, the squirrel and mandarin fish in Chu!" An Qisheng's mouth twitched. He looked poor, but he thought too much. Everything is not a delicacy on a jade plate!
