The trees on both sides of the bluestone densely paved official road outside Songhai City stand straight and upright in the wind, the birds on the branches chirp, and under the rich shade of the trees, an elite of the Qin State guards his post without moving in the scorching sun, and next to a luxurious carriage, Fusu, who is dressed in a white cloak, forgets to take a look at the simple and vicissitudes of Songhai City.

Zhang Han thought about it for a long time and finally moved his steps and walked over, "Childe, there is something I don't know if I should talk about or not?" ”

Fusu was slightly stunned and looked at Zhang Han, who was wrapped in bandages, and patted Zhang Han's shoulder with concern, "General Zhang is injured, so you don't need to come to see him off, this trip to Dongjun, I hope that the general will be guilty, I will show General Haiyue Xiaozhu in front of my father to save the driver, I don't know what happened to General Zhang?" ”

Zhang Han leaned close to Fusu's ear, "Childe, recently the shadow secret guard has obtained a rumor that is spreading in Xianyang, and the stakes are very high. ”

"What rumors?"

Zhang Han looked at each other and confirmed his safety before saying, "Rumors say that Gongzi Fusu has the intention of usurping the throne and rebelling. ”

"What did you say!" Fusu was shocked, and moved his feet that had already stepped on the carriage to look directly at Zhang Han, "Between the inches of power, there have been constant turmoil since ancient times, what is the credible evidence for this nonsense?" ”

"The rumor mentions Changping-kun."

"Shut up!" Fusu clenched his fist behind him, and the thoughts that had been empty in his heart for many years began to become active, all these years, and he still couldn't get rid of this influence?

"Such news, you should secretly report to His Majesty the Yellow Emperor." Fusu was a little puzzled that Zhang Han, who had always been strict with himself, would actually be close to him.

"Where the duty lies, the last general has already reported to His Majesty the Yellow Emperor."

"Then why are you telling me?"

"Haiyue Xiaozhu's assassination may be the beginning of the power struggle within the empire, and Gongzi cherishes it all the way." After Zhang Han saluted respectfully, he waved his hand and motioned for the shadow guards to follow to protect Fusu's safety.

The Fusu carriage rode in the dust and rushed to the direction of Xianyang, Zhang Han stood in place and watched for a long time, until a little black shadow disappeared from sight, and then turned to leave.

After several days of traveling, Fusu's carriage finally appeared outside Xianyang City, a pair of patrolling soldiers saluted at the carriage, the noisy street market also became silent, pedestrians lowered their heads, did not dare to look up, and the shadow guards guarding both sides of the carriage were like falcons on guard against threats from around them at any time.

After Fusu slowly stepped off the carriage, looking at the majestic Xianyang Palace, the Qinzi flag with black characters on a red background was waving in the wind, and the dense Praetorian Guards on both sides were like divine soldiers and heavenly generals who could not be looked at directly, and the unstable atmosphere in his heart was a little more, just as Fusu stepped on the steps made of marble step by step, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming towards him, Fusu dodged a few times, and after dodging, he was able to dodge, and after seeing the person clearly, he instantly became kind, "Eighteen brothers, I am playful again." ”

The person who came had red and blue eyes, slightly curly short hair dancing in the wind, and a blue aristocratic robe showed his unique identity, and he was Yingzheng's favorite son, Hu Hai, the eighteenth son.

Hu Hai saw that Fusu easily dodged his attack, and patted Fusu's shoulder with a smile, looking so innocent, "Big brother, you are slow, my father will not see hundreds of officials in the morning, and he will wait for you alone." ”

Fusu stroked Hu Hai's weird hair dotingly, "You're not young anymore, don't always be so playful, have time to read more." ”

Hu Hai reluctantly sighed, and after Fusu entered the hall, he showed a sinister face like a changing face, big brother, the banquet has been arranged for you, just waiting for you to get out of the pot, hehe!

After Fusu took a deep breath, he stepped into the Xianyang Palace, where there was only one person, and at this moment there was a person standing high on the end of the bright red carpet, waiting for his arrival.

Fusu walked to the former pool, stopped ten steps away from Yingzheng, and knelt on his knees, "Father, the son is back." ”

Ying Zheng turned his back and said in a tone of lesson, "I already know your opinion on the little sage and sage village, but the law says, chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, and Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, these are the two major sources of disaster, so the Mo family has been destroyed, Confucianism still exists, and I have to investigate." ”

"Erchen understands that Luo Wang is still monitoring Songhai, but..."

Ying Zheng saw that Fusu wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly became a little dissatisfied, "Do you think it's inappropriate?" ”

"The net is an imperial murder weapon, and it is very murderous, but I am afraid that it will contradict the original intention of appeasing Huairou."

The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked proud, "The murder weapon, the sword hanging on the head, may make them more sober, whether Fu Nian can still be in Songhai, in the name of Confucianism in the world, I'm afraid it's only between the lines." ”

Fusu hurriedly responded, "Yes, Father." ”

Ying Zheng turned around domineeringly, asked with his waist on his shoulder, and asked in a questioning tone; "Recently I heard a rumor."

Fusu's originally anxious heart became even more flustered, and he hurriedly crawled to the ground, "Erchen has indeed heard of it, but he doesn't know how to defend it." ”

"You can't tell." Ying Zheng looked at Fusu who was trembling and kneeling on the ground, and sighed in disappointment, "Do you know Bai Qi?" ”

Fusu raised his face, which had changed color, "The first general of the Qin State, known as the slaughter, was proud of his achievements, intended to rebel, failed, and committed suicide in fear of crime." ”

"That's right, this is the record of the historian, but there is no record, Bai Qi had a conversation with King Zhaoxiang before committing suicide, Bai Qi asked, what is my crime, I didn't think about rebelling? The king replied, "The widow knows that you don't want to rebel, but it's your fault that you have the ability to rebel." ”

Ying Zheng's words pierced Fusu's heart like earth-shattering thunder, and Fusu's sweat fell on the red carpet like a thread. I don't know how to explain it.

"As my eldest son, such a sin has been borne on your body from the moment you were born, born in the Emperor's Garden, this is an innate sin, I know very well, it turns out that the first king may be wrong, but who can really understand whether this decision is right or wrong before making a decision?"

Fusu's eyes were filled with tears, and he felt a deep salute of empathy.

After all, it's still a little tender! Ying Zheng showed a rare fatherly expression on his face, "Power is poison, if there is a crack in the container, the poison will spread, maybe the poison has begun to spread, you are just a victim." ”

The stone hanging in Fusu's heart fell to the ground, and he hurriedly thanked him, "Father Mingjian, son and minister are grateful." ”

"Flatten, you have a tired journey, go down to rest first, and prepare carefully for the next spring ceremony!"

Fusu regained his former glory, Yingzheng not only did not blame, but also asked him to preside over the ceremony, Fusu was grateful, "Thank you father, the son must live up to his father's expectations." ”

The next day, the spring breeze blows warmly on the altar, a flag dances in the wind, the majestic altar stands on the edge of the Wei River, the civil and military officials stand neatly under the stage in two rows, the majestic drum sounds, Fusu calmly steps on the altar "The spring ceremony starts now, please Your Majesty the First Emperor." ”

Soon Ying Zheng carried the sky on his waist, walked to the high altar in an orderly manner, and after Fusu finished reciting the sacrifice, Ying Zheng picked up a piece of jade on the table and threw it into the surging Wei River, praying that the river god would bless the people of Qin with good weather and rain.

"Drink" Fusu took the lead in drinking the water in the cup, looking at his father who was praying not far away, his heart was full of yearning, but soon Fusu found that his body was swaying and did not obey the call, and suddenly secretly said that it was not good, poisonous!

The civil and military officials who drank the water of the Wei River collapsed to the ground without an image, and Fusu supported his body with tenacious willpower, and saw several killers dressed in Qin army costumes, holding sharp blades and shouting the slogan "Revenge for Changping Jun", stabbing at Yingzheng who was still sacrificing.

Fusu didn't care about his own safety at this moment, and desperately threw down one of the assassins, "Hugh hurt my father." ”

At this moment, Hu Hai flew up and kicked down the assassin, protecting Ying Zheng's body, "Father, I'm here!" Ying Zheng was only suspicious for half a minute, and soon his face returned to normal.

At the moment when the long swords in the hands of several assassins were about to pierce Ying Zheng, with the brilliance of Tianwen, more than a dozen shadow guards appeared one after another, and quickly controlled the scene.

"Hmph, what can you do like this?" Ying Zheng asked to return to the sheath, and the shadow guards said that the enemy was killed, and they vigilantly guarded Ying Zheng's side.

At this moment, Fusu covered his arm with the sword of Yingzheng, and his heart was full of decline, did he still lose after all!

Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang Palace without looking back, looking at Fusu, who was stunned and blocked a sword for himself, Ying Zheng was not only disappointed, but also disappointed, "Li Si, what is your opinion on this matter?" ”

Li Si, the prime minister of Great Qin, bowed and stood up, "Your Majesty, this trip is related to Changping Jun, the eldest son's mother is from Chu State, and there is a great connection with Changping Jun, this..."

Ying Zheng's eyes were cold, "The thing I'm curious about is that everyone drank the water of the Wei River, but Hu Hai has nothing to do." ”

Li Si was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Presumably the eighteenth prince was playful and didn't drink the poisonous Wei River water, so he saved His Majesty at the last moment, this is God bless my Daqin!" ”

Ying Zheng nodded as if it was a matter of course, "You go down, this matter is over, Xuan summoned Fusu to come to see me." ”

Fusu was injured, and he came to the coercive Xianyang Hall slowly, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Father, the son is here." His voice was full of doubt.

"I knew that someone would come to assassinate me, but I still want you to preside over it, do you know why?"

Fusu shook his head, his pale face was completely confused, "Erchen doesn't know." ”

"It's just to confirm whether the rumor that you are going to rebel at the festival is true or false."

"Has my father ever confirmed it?" Fusu's voice was full of sadness and sadness.

"What I want to prove is already obvious, Fusu, you still let me down after all."

Soon, a royal decree that shocked the world was issued: "His Majesty the First Emperor has a decree, the prince Fu Su is released to the county to wear the crime and make meritorious service, assist the Inner Shi Mengtian to defend the border and destroy the Beihu, if there is no Yellow Emperor's decree, he will never return to Xianyang." ”

Fusu, who was at a low point in his life, sat in the carriage, looking out the window at the ruins of the mountains and rivers, and the enthusiasm in his heart couldn't help but sigh, the old land of the Six Kingdoms is still full of desolation, and the empire needs to do a lot of things if it wants to have long-term peace and stability, but...

Fusu stretched out his hand and touched his injured left arm, and unconsciously the pain that pierced his heart had faded, and Ying Zheng's words without the slightest emotion still lingered in his ears, and he would never return to Xianyang! Is my father going to give up on me?

"Childe, this place is located in Zhao Land, and there are wolves all year round, we need to speed up." With the reminder of the guard knight, Fusu opened the curtains, "Well, pass the order and speed up." ”

The knight was very respectful of the benevolent and righteous Fusu, and asked with concern, "Childe, your injury?" ”

Fusu waved his hand, "It's out of the way." Looking at the northland that was about to arrive, Fusu couldn't hide the decline in his eyes even if he was imposing a cover-up.
