Three days later, Ying Zheng issued an edict to the world and established Fu Su as the prince.

Five days later, Fusu held a coronation ceremony at the Taimiao.

Ying Zheng came to the temple in person.

Fengchang Hu Wujing became the minister of ceremonies of the prince, Li Si put on a cloth crown (Wen crown) to Fusu, Meng Tian put a leather crown (martial crown) on Fusu, and Ying Ben put on a jade crown (adult crown) on Fusu.

Meantime.

Ying Zheng said loudly: "From now on, the emperor's eldest son Fusu will be the prince of Great Qin, crown the sword and the government, and supervise all things with the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

When Yingting's heavy Fusu Guanjian cloak stepped out of the main hall and stood under the corridor to thank the guests, the entire Taimiao courtyard resounded with the cheers of the Great Qin Wannian, the heroic and martial arts of the prince, and the green pine forest was also filled with all kinds of discussions.

Hu Hai stood in the crowd, looking at Fusu, who was crowned with a sword, his eyes were full of envy.

He didn't want the person standing on the high platform to be himself.

But now he's just a spectator.

can only witness Fusu accept the courtiers' bows and worship, accept the courtesy of the officials, and he can only even follow the courtiers, saying some flattering words that are not in line with his heart, thinking of this, Hu Hai even regretted a little, whether he was really wrong when he was not in the court at the beginning.

But soon.

Hu Hai shook his head.

He didn't feel like he was doing anything wrong.

The attitude of the father and the emperor is already clear, and if he tries to fight again, not only will he not be able to fight, but he will also cause the displeasure of his father and eldest brother, and then I am afraid it will only backfire.

And he didn't think he was up to the position of prince.

As Ji Heng said, Fusu is actually not competent, but Fusu is older than himself and has experienced more things, compared to their other dozen brothers, Fusu is the least bad of their brothers, but it is only not bad.

But it's not good.

Fusu is still like this, let alone him?

He does have a heart of contention, but he also has the idea of family and country in his heart.

Great Qin is the most important!!

As for Zhao Gao's suggestion at that time, he did not agree, and even in the past few days, he has alienated Zhao Gao, he does not understand many things, and he can't see it really, but it does not mean that he is stupid, now Fusu has become a recognized prince in the world, and it is undoubtedly looking for death to toss and abolish it at this time.

Once the father or eldest brother knows, it can only be seen in brotherhood.

He didn't have much faith in the so-called brotherhood.

The reason why the prince was fighting before was because the prince had not been decided, and his father had always acquiesced to the fight, but once the prince was decided, he would secretly calculate, and he seemed a little out of mind, and he also felt that Zhao Gao was dizzy.

Hu Hai stood quietly under the porch, watching Fusu talk and laugh with the courtiers.

Gongzi Gao, Gongzi Jianglu and others, the eyes are also very envious, but there is not much jealousy, they have withdrawn early, and they have long since given up this thought, now that the position of the prince is set, they even have a lot of peace of mind in their hearts, before the position of the prince is not decided, there have been people who persuade them to fight.

None of these voices will be heard for now.

Gongzi said with a smile: "In the past, although the eldest brother was considered by the courtiers to be the prince, but after all, he didn't really tell the world, and now it has been completely decided, and the matter is finally settled." ”

"We're finally free from this."

Childe Jiang Lu smiled bitterly and nodded.

They have been cautious all these years, just because they are worried about being targeted and involved in this struggle, and now that Fusu is officially recognized as the prince, the pressure in their hearts that has been squeezed for a long time has been released a lot in an instant.

Gongzi said in a deep voice: "It is expected that the eldest brother will become the prince, but this is the eldest brother's business after all, and our top priority now is to compile the "Yushu" that Mr. Ji said as soon as possible. ”

Hear the words.

Jiang Lu, Rong Lu and other sons lit up their eyes, and said in surprise: "Father and Emperor have asked us what we did? ”

Gongzi nodded with a smile, and said: "Father also encouraged us to consult Prime Minister Li Sicheng, Hu Wujing Fengchang and others in this regard, in order to compile the relevant books as soon as possible, what we have done has been approved by our father, perhaps"

Gongzi Gao paused for a moment, and said with a rather excited expression: "It will really be as Mr. Ji said, we can use this to get some knighthoods." ”

Hear the words.

Jiang Lu and other sons were also excited.

The title was extremely important to these sons.

This is their way out.

The other side.

Compared with the jubilation of other people, Zhao Gao's expression was very gloomy, and the joy of the people around him had nothing to do with him, he only felt that it was very noisy.

He looked at the hundred officials around him, and then looked at Hu Hai, with a cold color in his eyes.

He couldn't just sit still.

He is just a eunuch, once he falls, it is too difficult to get up again, now he has already lost his position in the palace, the first emperor doesn't even need him to drive, with the failure of Hu Hai's struggle for the crown, his situation in the palace will only become more and more difficult.

He couldn't accept it.

Although Hu Hai rejected his suggestion, how could he stop there?

He strode towards Duch.

Seeing Zhao Gao walking towards him, Du He only glanced at it, and then skipped it directly.

Looked at.

Zhao Gao's face froze, and he was very resentful in his heart.

If he was still favored by the First Emperor as before, how could Du He dare to despise himself so much?

But the situation is stronger than people.

He has long been abandoned by the first emperor, and the last time Hu Hai was in the court, he brushed the face of Du He and others, how could he, as Hu Hai's close minister, get a good face?

Zhao Gao took a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "Does Du Shaofu know why His Majesty is in a hurry to establish a prince?" Can you also know why Prince Hu Hai didn't dare to fight in the court? ”

Hear the words.

Duhe's eyes sank, with a little displeasure.

He looked at Zhao Gao coldly, as if he didn't put Zhao Gao's words in his ears at all, and said coldly: "You are a eunuch, and you still want to figure out Your Majesty's thoughts?" ”

Hearing Du He's ridicule, Zhao Gao was also angry in his heart, but in the end, he suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "I naturally don't dare as a eunuch, but after all, I am also the foreign teacher of Hu Hai Gongzi, and I also know a lot about Hu Hai Gongzi's situation. ”

"I, a eunuch, really don't know His Majesty's thoughts, but Prince Hu Hai may not."

"Oh?" Du He frowned, his face was a lot solemn, but he was still a little frivolous, and said suspiciously: "You can talk about it." ”

said.

He glanced around and told the officials to walk away a little.

Zhao Gao flattered: "I Zhao Gao doesn't know much, but after all, I have an intimate relationship with Hu Hai Gongzi, and Hu Hai Gongzi is willing to tell Xia Guan a lot of things, after Nanhai came back, Hu Hai Gong made it very clear to Xia Guan that he has no chance to become a prince." ”

"It is also said that since then, His Majesty has made up his mind to establish Prince Su as the prince."

"And"

"Standing up is not the end."

"It's the beginning of a big deal."

"I don't know much about this matter, but from the mouth of Hu Hai, the lower officials did hear some news, that is, His Majesty will issue some decrees in the name of consolidating the position of Prince Fusu after the establishment of the prince to change some of the current situation."

Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Du He, who didn't care too much about it, suddenly became energetic.

His eyes radiated a terrifying chill.

Zhao Gao's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and he continued: "The reason why Your Majesty didn't go to court some time ago was not because he was really in poor health, but because he did it on purpose, in order to create an atmosphere of establishing a prince. ”

"Then there was the follow-up matter of the establishment of the reserve."

"At present, all the officials think that Your Majesty is not in good health, and they have no objection to this, but in fact, they have all fallen into Your Majesty's calculations, and now Your Majesty is not in good health, and the prince is newly established, and when Your Majesty makes some radical moves in order to let the prince sit firmly in his position, I think the ministers can also understand it, and they will also make corresponding concessions."

Hear the words.

Duch's pupils shrank, and white sweat overflowed from his forehead.

He said in a deep voice, "Do you know what Your Majesty is going to do next?" ”

Zhao Gao shook his head contemptuously and chuckled, "I'm a eunuch, how can I be qualified to know this?" But it must be a matter of great implication to make His Majesty so deliberate, otherwise why would His Majesty suddenly be so concerned about the Rival Prince, and even establish it in such a hurry? ”

"How has Your Majesty been so anxious in the past?"

"In addition."

"I'm afraid most of you have heard about the attack on Prince Hu Hai in Lingnan, but until now, more than half a month has passed, and Your Majesty has not yet given a conclusion on this, do you really have no doubts in your hearts?"

Du He looked Zhao Gao up and down.

He was already a little convinced of what Zhao Gao said.

The affairs of Lingnan have been pressing, which is not normal, but the first emperor does not speak, as courtiers, it is difficult for them to ask, and after all, it involves the face of the royal family, how can they interfere?

But after Zhao Gao said this, how could Du He not understand, this is His Majesty's other idea.

And I'm afraid the picture is not small.

It's just that Zhao Gao told himself these news, what was his intention, and what was his intention?

Du He didn't hide it, and asked directly: "I don't know what Zhao Zhongche's government order wants to do if you tell these news?" ”

Zhao Gao smiled and said, "Du Shaofu is too careful." ”

"I, Zhao Gao, don't have any ideas."

"I just want to tell you that Gongzi Huhai did not take the initiative to withdraw, but had to withdraw, and there was no way to continue to insist, if the fight continued in the court at that time, it would definitely cause His Majesty to be dissatisfied, so please don't mind, this is really not the original intention of Gongzi Huhai."

Du He glanced at Zhao Gao deeply, and also laughed heartily.

He said calmly: "Since it is His Majesty's request, it is understandable for Prince Hu Hai to avoid it, how can I, as a courtier, blame Gongzi?" This time, I would also like to thank Zhao Zhongche for informing me of such important news. ”

Zhao Gao smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he nodded: "I have already informed the news, so I won't stay longer, Du Shaofu should be more careful during this time, and the court may not be peaceful." ”

After speaking.

Zhao Gao left quickly.

When Zhao Gao walked away completely, Du He's eyes suddenly became gloomy.

Soon.

The other officials gathered again.

Yao Jia said in a condensed voice: "What did Zhao Gao say?" ”

Du He sneered and said coldly: "Our young son didn't really give up fighting for the crown, but he had to give up last time in the court. ”

"Your Majesty has begun to lay out in the court again, the last time the eldest son made a move, but it was not easy to toss the Tingwei Mansion, this time Your Majesty can even give the prince, I am afraid that the plot will be bigger."

Yao Jia's eyes sank.

Duhe continued: "We are probably all fooled by His Majesty this time, His Majesty has no physical problems, everything is just a game, and we all jumped in. ”

"Next"

"I'm afraid the court will be surging."

Duch let out a long sigh, but his eyes became extremely sharp.

He still smelled a trace of unusual breath, this time Fusu came back, not only him, but also Meng Tian and Li Xin, these two people have a high prestige in the army, and Hu Hai had an accident in the South China Sea, no matter from what point of view, it is unusual.

Yao Jia glanced at Du He, but did not continue to ask.

They raised their heads and looked at Fusu not far away, with a hint of unclear worry in their eyes, compared to the relief of other courtiers, they felt that Fusu and themselves and others did not agree with their political views.

Fusu used to be like a piece of jade, which made people feel very down-to-earth.

But now Fusu has been polished into a jade sword, just like the jade sword he is wearing around his waist now, with a sharp edge, full of threats and oppression to them, the elders of the empire.

The last time about salt and iron, Du He and Fusu had a political conflict, and the previous Lichu Dynasty will also reveal all this kind of division, even if Du He wants to make up for it, but Fusu may not accept it easily, and the political differences are difficult for both sides to accept.

After the coronation ceremony.

The matter of Fusu becoming the prince was completely settled.

However, unlike the cheers in the courtyard of the Taimiao, there was an uneasy discussion in Xianyang City.

After all, more than 100 years after the iron-blooded struggle, the rise and fall of force has become a belief deeply rooted in the world, and the faith upheld by Fusu in the past is too easy to be equated with pedantic benevolent government and empty royal road, so doubts began to be heard in Xianyang City.

The change before Fusu was short-lived, or did it really change.

No one dares to judge lightly.

And all this has to wait for the crown prince who has been crowned with a sword, and the official administration in the future will be explained.

Regarding the doubts in Xianyang City, Fusu did not pay attention to them.

In the next few days, he visited the major government offices one after another, and his attitude was very low, humble and dignified, and he did not show any hypocrisy, let alone the slightest arrogance and flashiness, which also convinced many courtiers.

Compared with the pride of Fusu's spring breeze, Hu Hai is obviously completely silent.

In the past few days, he didn't even stay in the palace, he directly found a reason and ran to Ji Heng's side, and he said that he was out of sight and out of mind.

Ji Heng didn't care.

But.

The tranquility of Xianyang is destined to be temporary.

Ji Heng knew, Fusu knew, Du He and the others also knew, everyone was waiting, waiting for the fire of Daqin, the prince, to take office.

Ten days later, the fire came!
