Late at night, under the lonely lamp, a middle-aged man sat alone in front of the desk, tirelessly reviewing the recital, his robe was as black as the night, and the blazing candlelight reflected on the carved face, the light made his face lines more distinct...... Day after day, year after year, all that was always by his side was the stars and the moon, and the lone lamp.

A louder voice from a distant place seemed to alert him, and the man slowly lowered the pen in his hand and pushed the bamboo slip away.

He slapped his palm lightly, and a small eunuch hurriedly stepped forward, he lowered his head, waiting for orders.

The man stood up and took two steps: "...... Go see the eldest son. ”

His speech is not very clear, and his voice is low and muffled, and if you don't listen carefully, you may hear it wrong. But the little eunuch would never let this kind of mistake happen to him, he hurriedly withdrew, beckoning people to prepare to lead the way.

It was the middle of the night, and a group of people were moving forward with bated breath, and no one made the slightest sound. Ying Zheng's routine is not always so regular, and sometimes he will summon courtiers late at night, so everyone is used to waiting for him at any time.

After walking for a while, I came to a place of confinement. So, two guards at the door saluted Yingzheng.

"Did you sleep?" He looked at the two guards.

The two glanced at each other, and one of them was not. Affirmatively: "It doesn't seem to be yet, I heard the sound of the bench falling to the ground just now, and ......"

He paused: "I heard laughter too." ”

Ying Zheng snorted and motioned for them to open the door.

He walked into the house, and there was only one light burning in it. Lamp, his son Fusu, was lying in the southeast corner, as if looking for something.

Even though someone came in, Fusu didn't seem to notice that his posture was alive. The cat who keeps an eye on the mouse, and is overly loyal to his duty and completely forgetful, so that he ignores everything around him.

Yingzheng couldn't, he first asked the guards to retreat, and then waited for a while. Before the child could react, he finally got impatient: "...... Fusu? ”

This sound made Fusu jump up from the ground in shock!

"Ahh Daddy! Only then did he realize that Ying Zheng had come into the house, "Uh, you are. When did you come in? I didn't even hear ......."

Ying Zheng ignored him, he walked to the southeast corner, squatted down and looked: "Here, what's there?" ”

"Nothing." Fusu laughed, "I found an ant line. ”

“……”

"Well, they're signaling: there's an intruder ahead! All vigilant! The 107th Division is ready to fight! Fusu said, shaking the small wooden stick in his hand, "This is the intruder, haha!" ”

Ying Zheng continued to be speechless.

"But I have something to eat for them." Fusu continued, "When a little millet is thrown in the evening, and as soon as food is found, the information of the ant colony society is transmitted at an astonishing speed, and the scraper on the ant's abdomen is more developed than the telegraph message! ”

"So, you've been watching ants for a day today?"

Fusu blinked, but didn't speak.

"Three days of confinement, today is to watch ants, what did you do yesterday and the day before yesterday?" Ying Zheng continued to ask, his voice even calmer.

But Fusu could detect signs of anger in his father's tone.

“…… I made a model. He threw away the stick in his hand and muttered, "I dismantled the kang." ”

Ying Zheng's gaze fell on the messy bedding and the strange-looking wooden ...... next to him Above it, it seemed to be a small complex tower made of wood.

"What is this?" Ying Zheng stared at the thing.

"It's too hot in the house, I think if there is a radiator...... "Fusu scratched his head, "but there are no materials, this ...... Although the structure of this frame is rudimentary, if there is a small water pump...... Well, I'm just imagining self-comfort. ”

"In other words, you haven't done your introspection in the past three days?"

Fusu lowered his eyes, and then raised it again: "I'm not wrong!" I don't intend to subvert Great Qin as Li Si said! ”

"Well, but you know that we can get out of ......" Ying Zheng suddenly paused, he couldn't remember the term.

"Offline Universe." Fusu reminded his father.

Ying Zheng nodded: "You know that we can get out of this time and restore the foundation of Great Qin to the next ten thousand years, but you closed the gate and locked the world in a jar, Fusu, that's it, you still want to accuse the prime minister and Zhao Gao of making trouble in the world, who will believe it?" ”

Fusu clenched his teeth, his nose wide open!

"You will believe! I think, Dad, you should believe me! He suddenly said, "I said I didn't want to take you away!" But until then, we have to ......."

"Must be three chapters of the law?" Ying Zheng snorted and looked at his son contemptuously, "You can't conquer the city, Chen soldiers in the world, you can't kill dissidents, and you can't follow the laws of the Qin Dynasty today...... Fusu, are you still the crown prince of Great Qin? ”

"But it has to be!" Fusu also became excited, "You can't fight against the six billion people on the earth!" ”

"What about six billion? It's hard to defeat my Great Qin Tiger Ben three armies! Ying Zheng sneered, "When I thought that I was a small country in the northwest, I was only a small country in the northwest, do you think that ants can't gnaw bones?" ”

"But we don't have to face the enemy of the past!" Fusu was so anxious that he was about to stutter, "We can't do it like we did back then, Dad, we're going to fail!" ”

"Then a little bit." Ying Zheng said indifferently, "After I die, there will still be you, after you die, there will be your children, as long as there is still a soldier of Daqin who does not die, Daqin will definitely unify the world." ”

He said this very calmly, but there was an incomparably amazing oppressive force in it!

Fusu didn't speak for a while, and after a long time, he squirmed his lips: "...... In Hollywood movies, the villains who destroy the world are finished before the countdown of seven minutes and forty-three seconds. ”

"What?"

Fusu shook his head tiredly: "It's nothing. I don't like that, Daddy, children don't like to kill, and I don't want to use knives and guns to force the world to bow down, I think there must be another way......"

Ying Zheng looked at him coldly: "It's a pity, it's up to you to like it or not, otherwise, you don't want to be the crown prince of Great Qin." ”

Fusu was silent for a long time before he said, "No." ”

Ying Zheng snorted.

"I don't covet the position of this prince, if there is a child around you who is more capable, kinder and wiser than me, I will give him the position of this prince-"

"I know who you're referring to. Why are so many brothers, you just keep an eye on Hai'er? Is Hu Hai really worse than you? Ying Zheng said coldly.

"You call a person with a serious personality defect to be the crown prince of Great Qin?!" Fusu shouted, "Even if he is neurotic, I am sure to cure him!" But do you know how much effort it takes to treat personality defects? Five years may not be effective! ”

"Anyway, you think your brother is sick?"

"Yes!" Fusu said with great certainty, "If you hand over Daqin to him, you will only ruin the world!" I already knew what that was like......"

"You always say, you know the Hereafter. So why can't you prove it to me? Ying Zheng said suddenly.

Fusu calmed down for a moment, and then said calmly, "I don't plan to take anyone out of here except you." If you can give up here, I'll take you away now......"

"You told me to give up Daqin? Give up the tens of millions of soldiers and horses in the world? Ying Zheng looked at his son with strange eyes.

“…… I hope you can live a more enjoyable life than the world! Fusu said resolutely, "Daddy, it's something that took me decades to figure out. ”

Ying Zheng stared at his son, and he suddenly said, "Actually, what you pretend to be in your heart is not me." ”

Fusu was stunned!

"What you have in your heart is not Daqin, but the future generation." Ying Zheng continued, "For the sake of your 'posterity', the so-called 'earth', even your biological father, you can do without it. ”

Fusu's face was a little gloomy, and he didn't know if he couldn't think of a way to explain, or if he was poked in the heart, so he didn't speak.

"Do you want your father to give up this empire and go to the next generation to be an ordinary old man?" Ying Zheng looked at him with a frown, "You're embarrassing your father, Fusu." Perhaps, when I asked you to take over the throne, I was also embarrassing you? ”

"Daddy......"

The conversation between the father and son fell into an embarrassing quagmire for a while.

"I have never blamed you for your whims, Fusu, I have always emphasized inner independence, but it is different for you, and it is not because of your mother's dying plea."

Fusu lowered his head and said in a dumb voice: "The child knows." ”

"I am your father, Fusu, but before that, I was also the master of Daqin." His gaze swept over his son's face, "As a father, I can tolerate you without restrictions, but Fusu, as the master of Great Qin, how can I tolerate you without restrictions?" Once I condone you, in the future, how can I bend the hundreds of officials and courtiers and the people of the world? ”

Fusu's face was a little bloodless, and his eyes were wet.

"Since ancient times, the position of the prince has been orderly, and no one can sit on the throne except you, but if you can't sit down, I will also choose another candidate for this world."

This is the first time that Yingzheng has clearly proposed to replace the prince in front of Fusu!

Fusu's lips trembled, and his originally lowered head suddenly raised up: "That's okay!" I can not be a prince, as long as you agree, I can still take you away! ”

Ying Zheng stared at his son!

"Yes, you're not wrong, how about Daqin, how is this world, in fact, I don't care too much, I just want you to live another life, you don't have to kill people because of an inaccurate string, and you don't have to cut people's hands and feet because of a typo in the song, you don't kill people anymore, no one will hate you anymore, and you don't have to worry about assassins......"

"Humph! Even if everyone in the world hates the widow to the bone, so what? Ying Zheng suddenly said coldly, "For the king, how many people are not hated?" ”

"But that's not good! Not good at all! Fusu shouted, "Why can't you live in peace?" Daddy, it's really nice outside, everybody's so nice, everybody loves me over there! They'll love you, too, and you'll be much more comfortable than you're now, and I'm sure you'll agree with me when you're done......"

Before Fusu could finish his words, he stopped because he saw his father's eyes.

It was a cold, resistant gaze.

"Looks like I'm not wrong." Ying Zheng suddenly spoke softly, "You are really not suitable to be this prince." ”

Fusu couldn't say the rest of the words anymore!

Without looking at his son again, Ying Zheng turned around and walked to the door.

"Tomorrow in the court, I will announce the decision to abolish the reserve to the world." His voice returned to normal, "As for your future situation, Fusu, you have to think about it tonight. ”

He stood in the doorway and waited for a while, without waiting for any sound.

Ying Zheng pursed his lips and strode out of the room.

The door closed immediately, and the room was once again plunged into darkness.

Fusu was next to the wall, he felt that his legs were a little weak, and he couldn't help but sit on the ground slowly.

He understood what his father meant, and the abolition of the prince was already a foregone conclusion, but the abolition of his position as the prince did not mean that everything was over and would not be pursued. He fully knows that the recent persecution of the group of courtiers has been very tight, and the eldest prince has made such a fuss, but the king has not dealt with it at all, which is completely contrary to the style of Yingzheng for decades, if he were someone else, his head would have been cut off one hundred and eighty times, and he, because he is the eldest prince and the prince, has survived safely, and has never been punished.

But tomorrow, he will not be the prince.

An ordinary person who is not a prince, can he still save his life if he corrects all the previous mistakes?

Fusu's eyes widened, staring at the dark night of the black hole.

Early the next morning.

In the court, as usual, several courtiers first played today's important events, and then, Yingzheng waved his hand and asked someone to bring Fusu.

Not long after, the eldest son, Fusu, was brought into the inner court by two guards.

His face was pale, his cheeks were sunken, and he looked confused and helpless when he looked at Yingzheng.

Since Yingzheng told him about his decision to abolish the reserve last night, Fusu has fallen into a deep confusion. He couldn't figure out why he had made this trip to the offline universe, was it just to have appendix surgery on his father?

His father refused to follow him away, let alone follow his request to "covenant the three chapters", according to Yingzheng's hope, he should take the entire Great Qin Empire with him, occupy the future again, and kill all the people who resisted him.

And that's something that Fusu can't agree to.

Seeing the eldest prince being brought into the main hall, the expressions of the courtiers all looked so strange!

No one thought that there would be such a thing as a waste store, because there has never been such a precedent!

I saw Ying Zheng make a gesture, and Li Si next to him stepped forward and began to read the edict of the abolition of the prince:

“…… The prince Fusu, the land is only the eldest son, and he is in the Ming Dynasty. Since its canonization, he has been arrogant and arrogant, and has no courtesy, and has exceeded the system, and has been deceitful for a long time. And Yongjian has been loaded before, forgive its flaws and provoke, and double the temptation, so it is lenient. However, he accepted heresy and violated his orders, harbored heresy and suspected his brothers, far from the righteous minister, and close to the villain. Although the favor is thick, the deeper the suspicion, the more conspiracy, the heart of the traitor is obvious, and now, the title of the prince is abolished, and he is demoted to a concubine, and he will be imprisoned forever. ”

Thinking of this, the ministers all changed color!

Fusu only knelt on the ground, his face was pale, but he didn't move!

"Fusu, are you guilty?" Ying Zheng slowly spoke, "Now, do you want to mention any crazy words that will take me to the next generation?" ”

Fusu raised his head suddenly: "Erchen doesn't know the crime." ”

His Highness was in an uproar!

“…… The retainer has no intention of rebellion, and the retainer is not guilty! Fusu raised his head unrelentingly and said loudly, "As long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, Erchen will take his father away!" ”

Above the main hall, there is no sound!

Ying Zheng stared at his child for a long time, and there was no anger in his eyes, on the contrary, it was full of a complex meaning that was difficult to explain.

Then, he slowly spoke: "Push the Fusu people out." ”

He stretched out his hand, pointed at His Highness, and flicked his middle and index fingers.

That's what it means to kill!

The courtiers were stunned!

Yingzheng actually wants to kill Fusu! He's going to kill the eldest son who has just been deposed!

For a while, no one moved.

Ying Zheng had a pair of cold eyes and glanced at His Highness again.

That's when people woke up!

The two warriors rushed up to the hall, grabbed Fusu like a wolf, and after a short time, they dragged him out of the main hall!

……

In the office, no one spoke.

All the people looked at Liang Yi nervously!

“…… I'm not dead. He said with a tired expression, "Otherwise, the person sitting here talking to you would really be a ghost." ”

"But! But didn't your dad already order you to be killed?! Xiao Wu stared at him nervously, "Could it be that he suddenly changed his mind again?" ”

"How could he change his mind?" Liang Yi looked depressed, "I've grown so big, I've never seen my dad go back on my word." ”

"But why didn't you die?!"

"Because I'm going to run away, fool!" Liang Yi glared at him, "You really think I'm an idiot?" Dad wants to kill me, I'm just waiting there to kill him? Twenty-four filial piety is not so filial! ”

“…… In other words, you escaped from the offline universe at a critical moment?! ”

Liang Yi nodded: "But as soon as I left so suddenly, that offline universe would ......."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "The offline universe has collapsed. ”

All of them looked at each other.

"I was there, it took five years, five efforts, and I couldn't save my dad. Even I couldn't keep him away from the vicious people. He sighed, "In the end, it ended up like this: I was deposed of the crown prince, and I was almost killed." ”

"Director ......"

Liang Yi lowered his head and gently rubbed his eyebrows with his hand: "Therefore, my dad still died in the sand dunes of 210 BC. ”

Jian Rou's eyes were filled with unbearability. She whispered, "Director, this is just an attempt......

"But I failed. This attempt. Liang Yi looked a little like crying, "Why did he get so angry?" Is it because he was forced to have his appendix five times? I don't want to! My dad won't believe me! ”

Not necessarily a refusal to believe him. Fang Wuying suddenly thought.

According to Liang Yi, the First Emperor naturally refused to follow his son out of his empire, but he may not have the intention of killing his own child, for a human being who can leave the current time and space at any time, how can others kill him in his conscious state? That's just impossible.

Maybe the First Emperor just wanted the child to leave, he couldn't find a better way, he could neither give up the empire to be an ordinary old man in the future, nor could he imprison the child by his side from now on, and watch his vitality end in his own hands......

Eventually, he gave his freedom back to his children, although his own life ended in 210 BC as a result.

This was the decision of the First Emperor.

"But I'm not going to give up!" Liang Yi slammed the table with his fist, "Since the offline universe is not successful, I will think of another way!" Even if it is to kidnap him, it will not hesitate! ”

Appendix

BGM: Actually, I have wanted to talk about this for a long time, when I was writing the story of Comrade Liang Yi, I always sang a song in my mind: "...... I want me to look for my dad, and I want to find my dad wherever I go, and my good dad can't be found, so if you want to see him, let him go home. ”

In addition, the abolition of the crown prince's edict plagiarized Mr. Li Shimin's works, and I apologize to Mr. Li.
