Chapter 177: Chu Palace Crown Ceremony
The chief eunuch brought Qin Shi Huang's words to Fengwu Palace, and Fusu sorted out his robes before following.
"Father."
"What did you do about the supplies in Shanghe County?"
"Yes."
It is better to be secretive than to admit generously, when Fusu should cover up, he will definitely not let Qin Shi Huang catch the slightest tail.
"Why?"
"When the people are strong, the country is strong."
"If the people are rich, the country will be rich."
"If the people are safe, the world will be peaceful."
Fusu's three sentences aroused the interest of Qin Shi Huang, and Qin Shi Huang retreated left and right, making it interesting: "Explain to me." ”
"The people are the foundation of a nation, and if they live and work in peace and contentment, they will be able to create a steady stream of wealth and send a steady stream of troops. Fusu dared to ask his father, what is the country. ”
"Country, for Daqin."
"Wrong. The country is for the people. Fusu continued: "If the people are not well fed and clothed, the population declines every year, and the soldiers do not get what they deserve, then once the war breaks out, even if the father and emperor personally suppress the battle, what is the use? Except for the people who are die-hard, except for the people who are loyal and righteous, who will be willing to die for Daqin at that time? ”
Qin Shi Huang listened to it for a long time before he said a sentence, "Fusu, you have grown up." ”
"Father's teaching is good."
"Next month will be your twenty-year-old crown." Qin Shi Huang closed his eyes, "Your mother can't see it." ”
Fusu was silent, the two people he was most sorry for in his life, one of them was Concubine Chu, and the other was Ying Yuchen's biological mother.
"Why are you sending supplies in my name?"
"Does the father want to hear the truth or lie."
"Tell you the truth."
"The people all said that the father was a tyrant, and the officials were afraid that one day they would accidentally anger their father, and they would lose the black gauze hat on their heads, and they would lose their heads. Why didn't my father make a fuss about the disaster in Shanghe County and make a good reputation? The most important thing is that neither the mother concubine nor Ruge wants their father to be recorded in the history books as a tyrant in the future. ”
"Since it is your mother's wish, according to her."
As long as Concubine Chu was mentioned, Qin Shi Huang would always agree to many things that he was reluctant to do.
"Fusu, the location of the crown ceremony next month, you can choose it yourself."
"With my father here, why do you need to help Su?"
"Then Chu Palace."
Chu Palace, where Fusu was born, is also the place where Concubine Chu left. The location was set in the Chu Palace, firstly, so that Concubine Chu could see that her son had grown up, secondly, because it was there, Qin Shihuang could smell the breath of Concubine Chu, and thirdly, to deter others.
"No, Fusu retires."
Fusu left the Hall of Eternal Life, and he strolled on the way back to Fengwu Palace, looking at the familiar grass and trees.
He will be twenty in another month, but he can no longer see Concubine Chu's face and hear Concubine Chu's voice. He came to the Imperial Garden and gently stroked a purple bamboo.
This purple bamboo was taken down by Concubine Chu herself, and it is located in the center of the entire bamboo forest. The whole purple bamboo has a deep purple color, and every year it will become a little more intense.
Others don't know why this purple bamboo grows so well, but Fusu does.
When Concubine Chu was there, the water that watered the purple bamboo every year would be mixed with a little blood of Concubine Chu. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang particularly likes this purple bamboo, and every few years he asks someone to cut a section of purple bamboo as a raw material for the pen holder.
Fusu looked at the circle of knife marks on the purple bamboo and couldn't help but laugh mockingly.
If Qin Shi Huang knew that his mother would water this purple bamboo with her heart's blood every year, would Qin Shi Huang still be able to do it.
