Chapter 112: I see that the time has come for the eldest son to become a prince!
Li Si was indeed right......
Feng Quji was already on his way to the home of Wang Juan, the right minister in the opposition.
Wang Juan's old god was at ease and ordered the maid of the family to serve tea, and invited Feng to sit down and said slowly: "This is a new drink recently, the entrance is slightly bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet, compared with the buttermilk wine, it has a different flavor, quite clean and elegant, Dr. Feng can try it." ”
Feng Qujian looked at it when he heard it, but saw that it was tea leaves, waved his hand and said: "I also have this kind of drink at home, but I prefer to supplement it with spices and milk, but this way of eating is not used to it." ”
With Zhao Si's unsparing promotion, the First Emperor has gradually become fond of drinking tea.
This thing does have a refreshing effect, and there are not many drinks in this era, and the first emperor is not good at heavy taste, and the body should not drink too much, so tea soon entered the daily life of the first emperor.
It is precisely because of this that Sangong Jiuqing gradually learned about this kind of thing.
Naturally, there are people who follow the trend in the family of the powerful, and after Li Si and Wang Juan and others begged Zhao Si for tea with their personal relationships and gradually became accustomed to it, the elite class also ushered in a new trend.
Tea ......
Of course, for now, it is only popular among the high-ranking elites in Xianyang.
This thing is what Zhao Si is going to use to open up world trade, and it has not yet been promoted with full strength, and the planting and frying have not officially begun to be popularized, so most people don't even have a channel to get in touch.
Being able to take out tea at such a time is undoubtedly a status symbol.
"That shows that Dr. Feng's heart is not quiet enough, but also, Dr. Feng is still living in the third duke, but I have returned home from leisure, in the end, it can't be compared." Wang Juan smiled and teased.
However, Feng Quji didn't have the idea of joking with Wang Juan, so he said in a deep voice: "How to eat the tea and put it aside first, I have something important to tell the right minister." ”
"The right phase is Li Si, but ......it's not me," Wang Juan shook his head.
"Okay, when is it......" Feng Quji's face showed impatience.
When Wang Juan heard this, the expression on his face became serious, and he looked at the handmaidens around him and said in a deep voice: "Stand down!" ”
After that, he retreated left and right, and there was no one left, Wang Juan looked at Feng Qujian and said: "The old man is strange, what kind of big thing is it, so that Dr. Feng can't wait to run out of the palace regardless of dereliction of duty, and specially came to inform me of this old guy who is idle at home." ”
"It's a long story...... I'll cut it short. Feng Qujian rubbed his forehead.
"Shangqing Zhao Si is the lost child of the eldest son Fusu, and the eldest grandson of His Majesty!"
Feng Qujian said that it was short enough, and the news was indeed exciting enough, Wang Juan, who was still drinking tea freely in the old gods, was choked by the tea for a while and couldn't cough it out, so he hurriedly held the desk with one hand, and hammered his chest with the other hand, Feng Qujian hurriedly stepped forward and slapped Wang Juan's back when he saw this.
Wang Juan was old after all, and it took him a long time to muster up the strength to cough through, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was flushed, until he sat down again, and his face still had a little palpitations.
Feng Qujian saw that Wang Juan was no big problem after all, and said as if he was afraid and ridiculed: "Now it seems that even if the right minister is at home, his heart is not quiet enough." ”
"It's not that I'm not quiet, it's that this kind of thing sounds a little too ridiculous at first glance...... What the hell is going on...... Cough...... What's going on? Wang Juan rubbed his aching chest.
"Your Majesty didn't say anything specifically, but I think Your Majesty has no intention of concealing it, and plans to use the mouth of the three princes to tell the hundred officials, and it won't be long before Zhao Si will recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, and bow to the ancestors, I'm afraid it is also to let the hundred officials have a preparation." Feng Qujian said.
"That's right......" Wang Juan nodded, lost in thought.
Seeing this, Feng Quji didn't bother, and quietly waited for Wang Juan to analyze the situation.
But after waiting for a long time, Wang Juan still didn't speak, Feng Qujian couldn't help it after all, and asked after a long time: "Wang Xiang, on this occasion, the matter of the eldest son establishing a prince ......?"
Originally, according to everyone's subtle agreement, Fusu returned to China with the credit of repelling the Xiongnu this time, which was when they wrote to establish a reserve.
What they didn't expect was that they were not ready, and Fusu entered the palace because of Hu Hai's debasement, and angered the first emperor because of this.
From the time Fusu was ordered to go to Longxi to the time when Fusu returned to Xianyang, how long did they wait? It was originally a drama about the return of the Dragon King, but Fusu pulled a big one.
As a result, the long-planned establishment of the reserve was forced to be interrupted.
There is no way, at the critical juncture when Fusu angered the First Emperor, he wrote to ask the First Emperor to establish a prince, which was not to fight for the position of prince for Fusu, but to let Fusu go to Longxi again......
To say that among them, the most uncomfortable is Wang Juan.
He even gave up the position of the head of the three princes in order to support Su Lichu and took the initiative to resign.
As a result, because of Fusu, the position of the head of the three princes was gone, and the matter of Lichu was forced to be interrupted.
Although Wang Juan's right minister is in name only, he basically sits in that position to retire, but the nominal head of a hundred officials is also the head of a hundred officials!
Therefore, when Wang Juan was determined to kill Hu Hai, in addition to avoiding Fusu from doing anything because of Hu Hai, he also couldn't help but vent his anger.
Well...... Although the stupid thing was done by Fusu.
After this incident, Wang Juan and Feng Qujian decided to hibernate for the time being, and wait for the limelight to pass before mentioning the matter of the prince, after all, the first emperor was angry and angry, and he was not a stupid person, although the first emperor had eighteen children, but after eliminating the wrong option, there was really not much room for choice.
And now, after so long, people are dying if they continue to hibern......
Feng Quji, who first heard the good news, naturally couldn't sit still.
"The matter of establishing a prince ......," Wang Juan frowned and fell into deep thought.
"In your opinion, after Zhao Si's life is revealed, what is Your Majesty's attitude?" Wang Juan asked.
"Today, when His Majesty summoned the Third Prince, Zhao Si served in front of the king and sat down with His Majesty, and the place where Zhao Si now lives daily is His Majesty's old mansion.
It can be seen that His Majesty loves Zhao Siye very much! The Right Prime Minister only said to wait for the right time, and now, what does the Right Minister think the time is? Feng Qujian asked.
"The time has come!" When Wang Juan heard the attitude of the First Emperor towards Zhao Si, his face finally showed a smile that cleared the clouds and saw the light.
"What do you think we should do next?" Feng Qujian asked.
"Within the three dukes, Li Si must not like the eldest son, and the Taiwei has not been careless for a long time, and he is very good at protecting himself, so he will not interfere in this kind of thing, in the end, I am afraid that only you are qualified to have the prestige to take the lead in making this matter happen, and now that you have found me here, I am afraid that you have already made up your mind and plan to let me support you, right?" Wang Juan looked at Feng Quji.
"Although the right minister is idle, he is still looking at the fire!" Feng Qujian heard the sound with emotion on his face.
"In that case, why do you ask me everything? The establishment of the eldest prince is an imminent matter, it is good for you and me, it doesn't have to be like this. Wang Juan said.
The reason why Feng Quji, who is also the third duke, still maintains respect for Wang Juan, in the final analysis, is that Wang Juan's energy and status are higher and bigger than him.
The right minister is the first of the hundred officials!
has been operating in this position for so many years, even if he is now at home, his political influence will not be low.
"I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll be wrong, and the holy will will ......," Feng Qu sighed when he heard this.
Fusu Lichu has tried this thing so many times but it has not succeeded, to be honest, Feng Quji is also a little PTSD.
"Although I already have a general understanding in my heart, I still need to confirm it with the right side, otherwise, my heart is really uneasy."
Feng Quji is several years younger than Wang Juan, but everyone is sixty years away, so naturally they are not young, and this age gap can be ignored.
"In fact, in my opinion, there is no need to suffer from gains and losses, since Your Majesty let Gongzi Si live in the old mansion, stay in the palace, and accompany the court affairs, it is an attitude.
If the prince does not stand, the country will be difficult to stabilize, how can His Majesty not understand such a truth? Wang Juan said.
"What does the right minister mean that Your Majesty probably also has the heart of a prince?" Feng Qujian asked.
"I don't know if there is an old man, but you and I have worked together in the DPRK for many years, and what Your Majesty doesn't want to do, can there really be a courtier who can make Your Majesty change his mind?" Wang Juan asked.
Feng Qujian was silent for a moment and nodded.
This is the most difficult thing to do under a very assertive king, and it is quite possible that when an event happens, he has already figured everything out, and no one can reverse his will in the future.
And to do things under the command of this kind of king, the most important thing is probably to figure out what you want.
"Now it seems that Your Majesty should have the heart of a prince, but I always feel that it will not be so ......simple," Wang Juan pondered.
"But at this time, there is no other way, the time is rare, it is best to take this opportunity to finalize the matter of the reserve, and other things will be talked about later."
Feng Qujian nodded and said: "I also think so, I plan to inform the old clan first, see what they mean, and wait until Gongzi Si recognizes the ancestors and returns to the ancestors to worship the ancestors, and then I will play to Your Majesty, and then mention the matter of establishing a prince, and when the time comes, I also need the cooperation of the king......"
Actually, there's nothing to plan for......
It's nothing more than everyone joining forces to write a book.
You can't be warn, right......
In the end, whether to establish a prince or not depends on the first emperor, but Feng Quji feels that this will be the right time......
"The good thing is...... Gongzi Si is the son of the eldest son, not the emperor! Feng Qujian sighed for no reason after saying his thoughts.
After all, the First Emperor's favor for Zhao Si was too excessive.
In the past, the first emperor only took Hu Hai to hunt a few more times after Fusu was demoted to Longxi, and they were so anxious that people were about to crack, and they were like facing a great enemy......
Even later, when Fusu angered the First Emperor, Hu Hai was appointed by the First Emperor to accompany a large tour of the world, and they almost couldn't help but make a move.
Fortunately......
Hu Hai will take action on his own and kill himself on the way to the Great Patrol, otherwise even if Hu Hai is not stupid, when the frame of the First Emperor returns to Xianyang, there will be no less actions against Hu Hai.
That's just a little bit different from the other emperors.
It's nothing more than a few hunting and eating a few times.
Zhao Sidu lived directly in the palace where the First Emperor lived when he was a child, and the First Emperor almost told everyone that this is my good grandson......
"If Gongzi Si is the emperor, you and I don't need to fight, just go elsewhere." Wang Juan laughed when he heard this.
It is also thanks to Zhao Si that he is not a son but a grandson, if this is a son, I am afraid that today's life experience will be revealed, and tomorrow he will recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and he will be directly established as a prince on the third day.
I'm afraid they won't have a chance to make a move.
Still vying for the position of prince? Fight for a hammer.
There are indeed many supporters of Fusu, and the power is indeed great, but the first emperor is equivalent to half of the founding emperor......
In this kind of thing, the courtiers really couldn't stop the first emperor from going his own way.
They are willing to charge for Fusu, but only if Fusu can win, they can be rewarded.
Naturally, they will not do the business of losing their money.
"Let's inform the old clan first, and after Gongzi Si recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, he can try it......" Feng Quji nodded and said.
Time...... And so it passed quietly.
Fusu, as a party, began the first round of negotiations with the Great Qin clan.
For the clan, recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan, especially this kind of children who grew up in the people, is of course the top priority.
Fortunately, the chain of evidence is relatively complete.
Zhao Ying and Fusu, the two parents, are also alive and well, and can recall the details of that year.
Moreover, there are various physical witnesses in the middle, so after careful screening by the clan, Zhao Si's life history can be basically finalized.
Of course, this is not enough to give a definitive conclusion to Zhao Si's identity.
The clan is responsible for the actual evidence, but there is no DNA verification in this era, and even if there is a complete chain of evidence, there is no guarantee that Zhao Si is 100% Fusu's child.
So Zhao Si, the party, was also invited.
It's just that what Zhao Si didn't expect was ......
He actually had to be stripped naked, not only naked, but also looked in circles by several old men, looking at his body and even his hair inch by inch.
"It's right to be prosperous and have a double spin on your head, I remember that Your Majesty and the previous kings were like this, and so were the eldest sons."
"The little finger is slightly longer than the average person, yes."
"Hu type is also right......"
Zhao Si really didn't expect that the clan of this era would be so rigorous, and even began to identify it from rudimentary genetics.
It's just that their identification is a recognition of identity characteristics.
To put it bluntly, it is to find the commonalities with the sexual characteristics of the Qin clan in Zhao Si, rather than finding differences.
It's easy to find a difference, after all, there are thousands of people.
Finding common sexual characteristics is not like identification, but more like strengthening the credibility of Zhao Si's identity.
Unless Zhao Si has few common characteristics with the Qin clan, his identity can basically be finalized.
So, there's a little bit of science, but just a little bit.
In short, the old men of the clan have basically done everything they can do, and they have done it rigorously enough, and even took the trouble to record the similarities between Zhao Si and the clans of the past dynasties.
At this point, Zhao Si's identity is still not 100% finalized.
Therefore, naturally there is only one last step left.
I'm going to hand it all over to the fantasy.........
Ah no, give it to the ancestors of Great Qin.
It was up to them to come forward in person to distinguish whether Zhao Si was a descendant of the Qin clan.
Melt your bones and recognize your relatives!
Not now, though......
The opening of the coffin has always been a major event......
First of all, it is not certain to dig up the graves of the previous kings.
But fortunately, the clan has lasted so long, and there are many dead clans, not only the first king.
But this has to be dragged on internally for a long time, who wants their ancestors to be opened?
(Melting bones to recognize relatives is to be witnessed by the ancestors, which probably means that they have melted in, that is, the ancestors said yes, not necessarily the direct ancestors.) )
