Seeing Fusu come in, Ying Zheng showed no emotion or anger on his face, not even a nod, and continued to bend down and read through the piles of memorials.
There was silence in the palace.
Seeing that the First Emperor ignored him, Fusu choked when the words came to his lips.
He just stood there blankly in the hall.
a long time.
Ying Zhengcai raised his head and looked at his eldest son sternly.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"My father has been busy with government affairs all day long, but as his eldest son, my son, as my father's eldest son, has never been able to take care of my father's worries. I feel guilty, and I ask my father to punish me."
Hear the words.
A flash of violence flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.
He didn't speak, but stared at Fusu with his eyes like tigers and wolves. Faced with Ying Zheng's sudden glare, Fusu was at a loss for what to do.
Ying Zheng knew Fusu's character very well.
He is indeed very filial.
But it is more out of compassion that Fusu came to the Dasuo stall in Guanzhong only to dissuade the Dasuo currently being implemented in Guanzhong.
Seeing Fusu standing there without saying a word, Ying Zheng's eyes became even more angry.
"explain!"
"What brought you here?"
Seeing the First Emperor getting more and more angry, Fusu felt his scalp numb. But now, if he didn't speak out what was on his mind, he would only make himself even more unpopular.
"My son, I obey."
Fusu took a deep breath, bowed his head and said:
"Father... I am here to remonstrate this time because of the big issue in Guanzhong. I don't ask my father to change my mind, but I just want to express my feelings."
"Father, you may listen, or you may not listen. I just hope that father will not be angry."
"When I heard that my father was attacked that day, I was equally horrified, and wholeheartedly supported my father's opinion of Guanzhong Dasuo. Now that Guanzhong has been sealed off for ten days, dozens of people have been captured by bandits in the city, and the officials implicated among them have also been dealt with."
"This matter is generally over."
"In the past few days, due to road blockades and traffic jams, the city has almost run out of food, and merchants are greedy for money and profit. Now the price of rice in Xianyang has reached hundreds or even nearly a thousand per stone."
"I sincerely request my father to stop the Great Suspicion in Guanzhong."
"If the blockade continues, I am worried that some citizens in the city may starve to death."
"As for today's decision, the first major plan is to calm people's hearts. Xianyang is the capital of the Qin Kingdom. If people in the city starve to death, it will only give the nobles of the six countries more excuses to disturb people's hearts and make the citizens in the city panic."
"I hope my father will think twice about the pros and cons of this."
"Furthermore, this assassination mainly involves bandits. We really shouldn't involve the citizens of the city. If the Tingwei Mansion is to strictly interrogate the captured bandits, I believe that all the remaining thieves in the city will be captured soon."
"I think it is inappropriate to harm the citizens of the city."
"Father, please take a closer look."
"What do the people from the Doctoral Academy have to say about this matter?" Ying Zheng asked coldly.
"Kong Yu and others do not recommend that I meet my father." Fusu answered very neatly this time.
"I'm asking those doctors what they think of this big search."
"My son suddenly decided to meet my father, without consulting the doctors."
"really?"
"Father..."
A cold look flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he slapped the table angrily and shouted: "You can't even understand such small things, how can you make big decisions in the future?"
Seeing that the First Emperor was angry, Fusu's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground in fright.
But his eyes are still full of stubbornness.
Ying Zheng's face was full of anger, and he even wanted to blast Fusu out directly, but later he suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "You think what I did was wrong and I implicated others, but you always
I haven’t even figured out a thing.”
"Who does the stability of this world come from?"
"It's me!"
"You don't understand politics at all."
"You can't even understand the most basic principles of rulership and ministership. What's the use of having a benevolent heart? Can you rule the world with just one mouth? Can you make the world surrender? Can you make the world peaceful?"
"It has been ten days since I issued the edict!"
"In the past ten days, I tell you, not a single minister has submitted a letter."
"Every matter of national affairs is related to the life and death of the Qin Dynasty. How can it be easily settled by a word of kindness and a word of benevolence?"
"Let's talk about this matter now."
"I have ordered Guanzhong to investigate. This matter will affect the citizens of the city. Even you know about this matter. Who among the ministers in the DPRK does not know? But so far, no one in the DPRK has written a letter or remonstrated. Why?"
“They know what’s important and what’s important!!!”
"Let's talk about the doctor's academy, where Confucian scholars are in charge. They have always been the embodiment of benevolence and righteousness, and they always like to oppose me. In the past, they would have written a letter to remonstrate long ago, but this time there is no doctor to remonstrate. Why?"
"How wise these doctors are."
"How can you not see the benefits?"
"You said you have not consulted these doctors, but with your nature, how could they not know your views on this matter? But have they ever tried to dissuade you?"
"What you just said is the truth."
"You are willing to protect these doctors, lest I have any rift with them. But have these doctors ever thought about the father-son relationship between me and you, and have they ever thought about your affection for them?"
"Fusu, you are too lenient!"
Fusu said with a pale face and gritted his teeth: "Fusu is stupid. I really don't know why my father insisted on doing this. Now that all the thieves in the city have been arrested, it is really not a wise move to continue to implicate the citizens in the city."
Ying Zheng shouted angrily again.
"shut up!"
"Since you can't think clearly, then stop thinking about it!"
"I asked you to take Confucianism as your teacher earlier because I wanted you to know right from wrong and know the truth. But now you are no different from those corrupt Confucians, or even worse. You talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but you don't know the truth.
The true meaning is beyond the reach of foolishness.”
"I'm very disappointed in you!"
"Go down."
"Father..."
"Go down!!!"
"No, I'll take my leave." Fusu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions.
Walk out of the palace door.
Fusu's clothes were already soaked.
This was the first time that the First Emperor had said so many words to him, and what he said was so heartfelt, but he never explained why his father wanted to blockade Guanzhong. His original intention was to ask, but seeing the furious look on his face, he
I don’t dare to get entangled any further.
But Fusu was really curious.
He wandered outside the palace for a long time, and finally did not dare to ask again. Then he thought about how his father mentioned the abnormality in the Doctor's Academy. With a thought in his mind, he turned around and went to the Doctor's Academy.
Inside the palace.
Ying Zheng's face was still full of anger, his chest was beating rapidly, and he even coughed a few times when he was out of breath.
He knew why he was angry.
If Fusu was born in an ordinary family, his filial piety, benevolence and righteousness would actually be outstanding. However, Fusu happened to be born in an imperial family, and Fusu's political acumen was really poor.
And he has high expectations for Fusu.
Fusu's poor performance now even made Ying Zheng a little suspicious.
Can Fusu really take on such a big responsibility?
In a moment of thought.
He thought of Hu Hai and the other young masters. Just as Ying Zheng was thinking about it secretly, another figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
A figure that has not appeared again for a long time.
