Since ancient times, when a king has no heirs, the country is unstable. If a king has no heirs, it is not a good thing for the courtiers.
But conversely, too many heirs for a king is also a big problem, because no one knows which prince will eventually aspire to the throne.
For example, the King of Qin Zhuangxiang, Ying Zichu, was killed out of a bunch of brothers. At that time, no one thought that this guy called Qin Yiren would eventually aspire to the throne, which also made Ying Zheng's childhood in the Zhao Kingdom extremely miserable.
If it was determined from the beginning that Zi Chu was the heir of Da Qin, no matter how angry the Zhao people were, they would never dare to have such an attitude towards Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji.
The same is true for the current Qin State. Ying Zheng has many heirs, up to the eighteenth son Hu Hai, and several concubines are pregnant.
Among the princes, in addition to the eldest prince Fusu, who has the highest voice, the princes Jianglu and his brothers also have the support of ministers, and the eighteenth prince Hu Hai is deeply loved by Ying Zheng, which makes the battle for the throne extremely dangerous and unpredictable.
.
Ying Zheng's words were like directly telling all the courtiers that the successor of Da Qin has been decided, and all they need to do is to carefully assist the eldest son Fusu.
Other young masters also need to be careful and don't think of messing around.
"According to His Majesty's order, if Hu Ji is not strict in discipline, she will be fined half a year, and the maids and eunuchs in the palace will be reduced by half!" A chain reaction followed.
The first thing Ying Zheng did when he returned to Qinian Palace was to punish Hu Ji, which was also a signal to the outside world and the princes and princesses of the clan.
Hearing what Dachangqiu said, Hu Ji's face changed drastically. She didn't understand at all how she ended up like this just when she just went to take Fusu back to the palace.
Originally, they thought that when Fusu first entered Xianyang and his foundation was unstable, they would give Fusu a show of strength, and then slowly try to catch him, blowing some wind in Yingzheng's ears, so that the crown prince's position would not be confirmed so quickly.
, all young masters also have a chance to compete.
Therefore, this plan was not carried out by Hu Ji, but the entire harem also thought so. After all, Fusu's mother had been left out for a long time due to identity issues and was not worthy of their attention.
Therefore, Hu Ji immediately sent someone to find Zhao Gao to discuss.
In the servant's house, Zhao Gao looked at Hu Ji's arrival with a gloomy expression. He was seeking death!
At this time, the most important thing they should do is to do nothing!
Now sending people to find him, isn't it telling Ying Zheng that they are still determined to go against Ying Zheng's side?
"Pig teammates!" Zhao Gao wanted to scold him, but he had no choice.
He liked Hu Hai not just because there was no one behind Hu Hai, so it was easy for him to control him.
A tiger got mixed up among the sheep, which is the current situation in Xianyang.
Fusu's return is tantamount to throwing a fierce tiger among the young masters.
The ministers in the Qin court also chose to wait and see, rather than taking any further action. They wanted to study Fusu's character and political tendencies before making a decision.
However, no one came forward to talk about the request to establish a prince. In other words, no one spoke about it without Ying Zheng's hint.
After all, they are not familiar with Fusu yet, so it is not worth offending others for Fusu.
As Fusu's injury improved, the reception banquet was also held in Fusu's palace, and naturally all the noble officials in Xianyang received the invitation.
Ying Zheng also introduced Fusu to everyone on a formal occasion for the first time. At the same time, he also introduced Fusu to people and the powerful officials in the court.
Fusu's performance is also very good, neither showing enthusiasm nor indifference, giving people a feeling of aloofness.
An Qisheng, on behalf of He Fusu, got acquainted with a group of officials, exchanged letters of honor, and invited everyone to come over for a banquet when they had time.
"What did you see?" After the banquet, An Qisheng looked at Fusu and asked.
"None of the powerful ministers who rank higher than Jiuqing are very active and enthusiastic, they are still waiting and watching!" Fusu thought for a while and answered seriously.
In the Qin State, not only were the Jiu Qing high and powerful, but there were also many officials whose status was no lower than the Jiu Qing, such as lieutenants, capital inspection lieutenants, lord lieutenants, and the internal history was the same as the Jiu Qing. They all had silver seals and green ribbons, and their ranks were two
A powerful official in Qianshi.
But these people didn't show much enthusiasm. Like Fusu, they just showed up to get to know each other a little bit, and didn't show any intention of making further connections.
"Do you know why?" An Qisheng nodded and continued to ask.
Fusu shook his head. He thought that after Ying Zheng revealed that he would be the sole heir of Da Qin, these people would lean towards him.
"Because their status is high enough and powerful, and they have a lot of followers behind them, and their influence can affect the whole body." An Qisheng explained.
"When you reach their position, it is extremely difficult to make further progress. Even if they clearly express their support for you, they are unlikely to have any further opportunities when you succeed to the throne. On the contrary, if you fail, they will be excluded from the power of Great Qin.
Center!"
"The most important thing is that Your Majesty is now in the prime of life. If he gets too close to you, it will not be a good thing for you or them!"
Fusu finally understood that he already had the support of Lord Long and Lord Wu An behind him. For the nine ministers, even if they relied on him, they would not have much chance of advancement in the future, because even if he really succeeded to the throne,
It is impossible for them to go further and become the Three Dukes of Great Qin.
"So, you don't need to do too much now. Study with His Majesty and spend more time with Lord Long and Lord Wu An to ensure that your status is worry-free!" An Qisheng also wanted to understand the situation in Xianyang.
As long as Jin Yao and Li Mu are here, even if all the nine ministers fall to a certain young master, Fusu's status will not be shaken at all.
"Fusu understands!" Fusu nodded.
However, the next morning, before the officials ordered the ointment, the palace eunuch came to Fusu's palace.
"By your Majesty's orders, the eldest son is invited to go to Qinian Palace to listen to the government!" The eunuch of the palm print bowed his body and carefully read out the order to Fusu.
Fusu also didn't expect that Ying Zheng would ask him to go to Qinian Palace to listen to politics.
Qinian Palace was the center of power in the Qin Dynasty. It was the place where Ying Zheng handled government affairs. People from the harem were not allowed to go there, and the princes and princesses were also not allowed to go there without invitation.
Now Ying Zheng actually asked someone to invite him to go and listen to Zheng. This shows that he is asked to study with Ying Zheng.
This is no longer a hint, but an announcement to everyone that he is the crown prince and heir of Da Qin.
"Please wait a moment, Master Palm Print. Fusu will change clothes and go with the Chief Supervisor!" Fusu perfectly learned Guo Kai's way of speaking to people. Even if the other party is just a eunuch, he is also the one with the highest status among the eunuchs.
, the attendants around Ying Zheng.
"Here!" The palm print eunuch nodded. People with physical disabilities actually want to be recognized by others, but Fusu didn't look down on him at all. His first impression of Fusu was also much better.
