After the dinner, Guo Kai also retreated, leaving only An Qisheng and Fusu, and started talking about business.
"I wonder why Master Fu Su brought the young master here?" Guo Kai also didn't know what An Qisheng and Fusu came to see him for.
Under normal circumstances, it is not suitable for the princes to get too close to the powerful ministers in the court, especially when he is the head of the ministers.
"Study!" An Qisheng said with a faint smile, and then said, "Fusu is not the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty yet, and he cannot bear the title of chief master!"
Guo Kai did not correct his title or explain more. He knew better how stable Fusu's position was.
Although Hu Hai seems to be very favored by His Majesty now, this is just a father's doting on his child, and he will not be cultivated as an heir.
"Study? What can I teach the eldest son?" Guo Kai was also a little surprised.
In terms of knowledge, he is definitely not as good as An Qisheng, who is rich in knowledge, and not as good as those doctors from Daqin Academy who specialize in one thing.
In terms of status, there are others above him.
So he really couldn't think of anything he could teach Fusu.
"Fight for favor!" An Qisheng glanced at Guo Kai and uttered two words.
"Pfft~" Guo Kai squirted at An Qisheng without taking a sip of tea.
You must know that the tables now are actually very short, and the two people are sitting opposite each other in front of a desk, so this squirt directly hit An Qisheng's face.
"Forgive me, I really didn't expect it!" Guo Kai had no idea that what An Qisheng asked him to teach Fusu was such a heretical thing.
An Qisheng didn't take it seriously. He could have used his cultivation to block it, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. He took the cloth and wiped the tea on his face.
"It's just fighting for favor!" An Qisheng said seriously again.
Guo Kai looked at An Qisheng, and then at Fusu. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "You are worthy of being the first master of the Great Qin Dynasty, whom Lord Long has kissed!"
Ordinary teachers, who would let their students learn such unorthodox things? Even if they let the students learn it, they would not take it to them personally. Instead, they would use other methods to let the students realize it on their own, and then turn a blind eye.
Close one eye.
But An Qisheng spoke out and personally brought Fusu to learn these things.
This courage and sense of responsibility regardless of his own reputation, in Guo Kai's opinion, are not something that ordinary gentlemen can achieve.
This is a person who truly considers Fusu, regardless of himself, and can be regarded as a model of a teacher.
With this attitude alone, he is definitely the best teacher in Fusu, bar none.
"If Kai remembers correctly, the eldest son is already ten and thirteen years old, right?" Guo Kai said seriously.
"Go back to your Majesty, Fusu is thirteen years old!" Fusu took the initiative and performed the apprenticeship ceremony.
"Young Master, do you think you should learn to fight for favor?" Guo Kai looked at Fu Su and asked.
Fusu was silent. The teachings of Confucianism made him feel that he should follow the royal path instead of this heresy.
"Your Majesty was ten years old when he returned to Xianyang, and he was the age of the eldest son when he succeeded to the throne!" Guo Kai spoke again.
Fusu also knew his father's experience, so he did not speak again and waited for Guo Kai to continue.
"So, it is not necessarily a good thing for the eldest son to return to Xianyang at this time!" Guo Kai said solemnly.
"Huh?" An Qisheng also reacted instantly.
The First Emperor succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen. Although he did not take office until he was twenty-one, he had to prevent his descendants from imitating him.
In the entire Great Qin, the only people who could pose a threat to Ying Zheng's status were Lord Long and his own heirs.
If someone makes some slanderous remarks, Ying Zheng will be afraid of Fu Su, and it will be counterproductive if he takes Fu Su back to Xianyang.
Long Jun has no intention of fighting for power, and the threat to Ying Zheng is not as great as that of Fu Su.
"Shangqing thinks Fusu shouldn't return to Xianyang?" An Qisheng also wanted to know what to do now.
"The chief minister thought that His Majesty would not know your whereabouts, so leaving at this time would seem to be a cover-up!" Guo Kai shook his head.
"Moreover, the eldest son has been with Mr. Long since he was a child, far away from your majesty. Later, he studied with Lord Shofu and was not in Xianyang. To your majesty, he only owes the eldest son!" Guo Kai continued.
"So, the eldest son not only wants to go back to Xianyang, but also knows how to cry!" Guo Kai continued, then grabbed Fu Su's white hand, frowned, and shook his head.
"Your Majesty is indebted to the eldest son, so what the eldest son has to do now is to increase this debt infinitely and make your majesty feel even more guilty!" Guo Kai continued.
"So, next, the eldest son should travel around the counties in Guanzhong and work in the fields himself, so that he can get tanned and have calluses on his hands that only farmers have!" Guo Kai said.
"Ah?" An Qisheng also didn't expect Guo Kai to ask Fusu to do this.
"Of course it's more than that. Similarly, it's important to be aware of local political affairs and give advice to the local government. Moreover, the chief minister cannot write for the young master, or even give the young master any advice." Guo Kai continued.
"Why?" An Qisheng asked puzzledly.
"If you say something, sir, it is your ability, and what your majesty wants to see is the eldest son's own ability!" Guo Kai said seriously.
"Even if these suggestions are very immature or even wrong, the eldest son is only thirteen years old, how can he have any mature suggestions?" Guo Kai asked rhetorically.
"And based on my understanding of Sir, I can also see that even if the eldest son makes independent suggestions, there will not be too many deviations in the general direction, but only some discomfort in the details, and these are your Majesty's
What I want to see.”
An Qisheng also understood that if he helped, then with Ying Zheng's ability, he would be able to tell at a glance that he was helping behind the scenes. It would also show his talent and learning, not Fusu's ability.
However, as the successor of Da Qin, Fusu should demonstrate his personal abilities, letting Ying Zheng know that Fusu has the ability and qualifications to become a qualified successor.
"Leave it to me next. In the past few months, I will try my best to teach my eldest son my understanding of the world of humanity!" Guo Kai still agreed to take Fusu to study in person.
But An Qisheng was a little hesitant, fearing that Guo Kai would lead Fusu into trouble, but he gritted his teeth and did not object. He just wanted to see what Guo Kai could teach Fusu.
In fact, Guo Kai taught Fu Su not many things, but they were all very useful. They were sociable in dealing with people, spoke their language to others, and told ghosts and ghosts.
"Young master, please remember that you are the future emperor of Qin. No one should know your true thoughts at any time." Guo Kai taught Fu Su.
Then he showed up in person to speak out. One moment he was chatting and laughing with his subordinates, but the next moment he was mercilessly throwing them into jail.
Although Fusu felt that this practice was against Confucian etiquette, he also knew that these things were useful, so he endured learning even though he felt uncomfortable.
Guo Kai could naturally see Fusu's thoughts, but he also felt that An Qisheng had trained Fusu very well.
