Outside Xianyang Palace.

Fusu waited respectfully outside the hall, looking a little apprehensive.

He really didn't want to provoke the First Emperor again.

It's just that this time the situation is different, Ji Heng is a talented person, if he can come forward to save him, he will definitely be able to benefit thousands of people in Daqin.

All his thoughts and worries are about Daqin, if his father knows, he should also forgive, thinking of this, he subconsciously touched the heavy bamboo slip placed on his sleeve, and his heart was a little at ease.

Soon.

Then there was a rumor from the hall and said loudly: "Rumor, the eldest son Fusu will come to see you." ”

Fusu took a deep breath and entered the hall with a solemn face.

Xianyang Palace, he often goes, but every time he enters the palace, he is a little worried, lest he will be scolded by the first emperor.

A hundred steps away from the first emperor, Fusu respectfully said: "The son of Fusu, I have seen my father." ”

"Say, "What?" Ying Zheng did not raise his head.

"The retainer is here to plead guilty." Fusu said nervously: "The younger brother was punished in prison for his father, and the younger brother was young, and he was afraid that the prison environment was not comfortable, so he took it upon himself to send someone to send wine and meat, which is inconsistent with the etiquette law. ”

Fusu fell to his knees, his forehead pressed against the ground.

Ying Zhengren listened to Fusu speak, and after reading the music in his hand, he said lightly: "I already know about this matter, you are a brother, and it is forgivable to be considerate of brotherhood, if this time it is just to ask for guilt, you can retreat, I don't have time to listen to these trivial matters." ”

Fusu tried his best to lower his head, but he still noticed the gaze of the First Emperor and stayed on his face for a long time.

I seem to be a little disappointed that I came this time.

Fusu gritted his teeth tightly, and finally withstood the pressure and said with difficulty: "Erchen...... Erchen came this time, in addition to asking for guilt, he also wanted to intercede for Ji Heng. ”

"Erchen read Ji Heng's relevant documents and files today, this person is not very old, reading books is limited, only listen to a few Confucian scholars, he has such an understanding of the situation in the world, this person is really amazing, if it can be used by the imperial court, it will definitely become a great help to the imperial court."

"This person did slander Qin Zheng, but according to Erchen's understanding, he was mostly bewitched by a few Confucian scholars."

"Erchen ......"

"Erchen wants his father to pardon Ji Heng's capital crime!"

Ying Zheng stared at Fusu silently for a moment, shook his head in disappointment, and said: "Since you have read Ji Heng's document files, you must know this person's past life, but just with some bamboo slips and some hearsay, you dare to understand this person so surely?" ”

Fusu Road:

"Erchen doesn't dare."

"It's just that the ministers looked at their documents and files, and they didn't see that they had the heart of chaos."

"Besides, with his amazing talent, if he really had a rebellious heart towards Daqin, he would have chosen to flee from Xianyang a long time ago, how dare he continue to stay in the city?"

"This person has not been restored in the past, and it is recorded in the documents that this person has only misbehaved once, that is, to criticize the new policy of Great Qin on the street, but in the eyes of the son, these do not hinder the overall situation, so the son-in-law has compassion and wants to ask his father to spare his life."

"Father, please enlighten me."

"Mingjian?" Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and shouted angrily: "Do you want me to be like you, based on personal preferences, read some documents and files, understand some details, and hastily change the sentence?" With such a ridiculous child's play, do you really have Qin Fa in your eyes? ”

Hear the words.

Fusu's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground in horror.

Ying Zheng threw the sheep's pen in his hand under the case, and said coldly: "You said earlier that you sent wine and meat to Hu Hai, which is an encroachment on the law, since you know that you have transgressed the law, why don't you correct it, but make mistakes again and again?" Or even worse? ”

"You think what you see is the truth?"

"But that's exactly what he wants you to see."

"I used to let you read "Han Feizi" and "Shang Yingshu", but you were resistant and refused to read it, but now that it has passed, you still can't even understand the basic schemes, and you have no insight, what is the use of holding those pedantic Confucianism all day long, and having a benevolent heart?"

"The major politics of the country, everything is a matter of life and death, how can a good word and a benevolent word be concluded?"

"Empty talk about benevolence and righteousness will not govern the country!"

"The son knows his mistake." Fusu lowered his head, not daring to argue.

"Wrongdoing?" Ying Zheng's face sank, and he shouted angrily: "Is it enough to say that you know your mistakes? When will you go down and change? ”

Fusu trembled all over, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu coldly, but he calmed down again, and said calmly with patience that he had never had before: "You remember to me that power is not all conspiracy. ”

"The power is scheming, and the people in power are strategizing!"

"What is a politician?"

"The avenue is the foundation, and the power is for use."

"There is no avenue in the world, and the court has no power to make plans."

"Ming Jun Zhengchen can not engage in power schemes, but he cannot fail to understand power schemes."

"Why does Han Feizi have the theory of eight traitors and seven opposites who specialize in power schemes? Can he really dictate power in one bite? ”

"He is forging a sharp weapon for the Legalists to rule the world."

"From ancient times to the present, how many Ming monarchs, good ministers, celebrities and heroes have died in the middle of the way because they don't know how to scheming, and how many Legalist masters have also died because they don't know how to scheming or disdain scheming, and they end up in different places."

"You are my eldest son, born in the emperor's family, and you are destined to fall into the mud of seeking power."

"In terms of temperament and preference, I also don't like power schemes."

"But Jundao art industry does not take personal likes and dislikes as a choice, even if you have disgust and resistance, as long as you are in your position, you must specialize in it."

"I seek to rule the world with the power of the rule of law."

"Learn from everyone and temper the power of insight."

"Therefore, I can subdue the world with a blinking body, dare to hand over hundreds of thousands of troops to others without any worries, and control the court without conspiracing."

"I'm never afraid of anyone scheming, whoever wants to rely on scheming to gain a foothold in Daqin, teach him to try."

"But you can'!!"

"If you don't read "Han Feizi", you don't understand enough of "The Book of Shang Jun", you don't know the evil of human nature, and you don't know the benefits and disadvantages of power schemes, just with kindness, you can't cope with the situation in the court, and now you have no insight, no insight, blindly pedantic and benevolent, you will only lose power and lose the country."

"Are you still confused about what Ji Heng said?"

"Erchen is indeed a little confused." Fusu lowered his head and didn't dare to raise his head at all.

Ying Zheng let out a heavy gasp, and gradually calmed down, leaning on the big pillow on the couch, and said slowly: "If you had had an in-depth understanding of "Han Feizi" in the past, you would not have this doubt at all, let alone choose to come here. ”

"Erchen is willing to read the book of Hanzi from now on." Fusu hurriedly said.

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Ying Zheng closed his eyes dejectedly, brushed his sleeves and said, "Go down, don't easily intercede for others in the future." ”

"You don't have the ability!"

"Don't you want to know why? Let this Ji Heng tell you. ”

"Father, Emperor......" Fusu turned pale miserably.

"Go down!" Ying Zheng opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of indifference.
