Following.

Before dawn, the cicadas were already chirping.

Ying Zheng did not go back to Zhangtai Palace to rest, but slept directly in Xianyang Palace.

Now.

Outside the main hall.

Fusu's figure appeared.

He looked at the quiet hall, bowed slightly to Zongzheng, who had not slept all night, and said, "Last night, I was tired of Zongzheng. ”

Ying Ben said calmly: "Your Highness is too worried, Your Majesty is angry now, and now you are asleep, Your Highness still don't bother." ”

Fusu bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "Zong Zheng has a heart, Fusu will not disturb his father, Fusu is waiting outside the palace, please also ask Zong Zheng to bother a little, if his father wakes up, please tell his father the news of Fusu's arrival." ”

"If my father doesn't see him, Zongzheng shouldn't be embarrassed."

"Fusu bye."

Fusu's respectful courtesy.

Ying Ben glanced at Fusu in a daze, sighed lightly, and had to nod.

Then.

Ying Ben returned to the palace.

Fusu knelt outside the hall with a respectful face.

Three poles on the sun.

The weather is getting higher in July.

The scorching sun rises in the east, bringing a heat to the whole land.

Most of Fusu's body has been irradiated by the sun, but Fusu is unmoved.

Zongzheng never came out.

No one was sent to make any noise.

Inside the temple.

Ying Zheng has already woken up.

The day-to-day handling of political affairs has begun.

As he regained power, and it was directly monopolized, and all the original political leaders of Li Si were also taken over, he had too many things to deal with every day, and he had not had such food and clothing for a long time.

Although his body is a little unbearable, only in the face of the high recital, Ying Zheng can get some peace in his heart.

I don't know how long it has been.

Ying Zheng didn't look up, but asked indifferently: "Hasn't Fusu left yet?" ”

Ying Ben arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, never." ”

"Your Highness has been waiting outside the palace since the rooster crowed, and specially told the ministers, if Your Majesty is not awake and Your Majesty has not been summoned, do not disturb Your Majesty."

"Your Highness is sincere."

Hear the words.

Ying Zheng disagreed, and continued to bury his head in dealing with the sparseness.

For Yingben's words, he didn't pay attention to it at all, since Fusu wanted to wait, then wait.

Looked at.

Ying Ben smiled bitterly.

Now His Majesty is obviously angry.

Fusu wanted to use this to summon His Majesty, but he was afraid that he really had the wrong idea.

However, although he is upright in the affairs of His Majesty's family, it is not easy for him to interfere, let alone interfere.

Great Qin Zongzheng.

What we have to do is to stand firmly on Your Majesty's side.

Rightly or wrongly.

At noon, the sun is shining.

The blazing golden crow hung high in the sky, swaying the golden heat in the sky, and the baked ground was hot for a while, Fusu was covered with sweat, and sweat also flowed on his forehead and neck, and under the blazing sun, the sweat that had just appeared was also volatilized into a cloud of heat above his head.

Fusu let the sweat drip down.

After a morning, outside Xianyang Palace, officials and attendants came in and out from time to time, and people looked at him from time to time, but Fusu's body did not move for half a minute, still waiting firmly.

The news that Fusu was erecting a pillar outside the palace also quickly spread throughout the palace.

fell into the ears of the princesses and princesses.

Hearing the news, everyone looked different.

Some looked gloomy, some sighed softly, some shook their heads secretly, and some were silent.

Ultimately.

The princesses and princesses went outside the palace one after another.

Seeing that Fusu was still kneeling outside, his body was quite straight, and there was a touch of complexity and admiration in his eyes.

Gongzi Gao stood outside the hall and said in a loud voice: "Erchen Gao, please see Your Majesty." ”

"Please spare Hu Hai's capital crime."

Jiang Lu stood behind Gongzi Gao, and said in the same loud voice: "Erchen General Lu, please see Your Majesty." ”

"Please spare Hu Hai's capital crime."

"Son-in-law Ronglu."

“.”

Suddenly more than a dozen sounds rang out outside the main hall.

are all voices begging for mercy for Hu Hai.

The princess who was still in the palace, more than 20 people, were kneeling outside the hall at this moment.

The voice outside the hall was solemn.

Every word fell into the temple.

It also fell into the ears of Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng's face sank, and the whole person was angry and angry, angry that his children all chose to disobey themselves, just for a Hu Hai who wanted to kill his father?

After so many years.

How had he ever seen these people so united?

Gongzi Gao, Gongzi Jianglu and others are on guard day and night, cautious, cautious in words and deeds, lest they make mistakes themselves, cause dissatisfaction from all parties, and eventually cause trouble.

is also worried that their daily actions will arouse the vigilance of Fusu and Hu Hai, and make people mistakenly think that they have the heart to compete for the prince, so they have been staying in the prince's school and dare not step out easily.

If it weren't for the Great Pilgrimage, they would never even take the initiative to participate, or they would want to get away from all their troubles.

But that has changed.

One by one, they all stood up.

And they all stand on their opposites.

Intercede for a Huhai.

They are all familiar with the laws and regulations, do they really not know what they are doing?

Ying Ben glanced at the First Emperor imperceptibly, and quickly retracted his gaze, sighing in his heart.

The First Emperor was indeed angry.

But there may not be no joy in the heart.

As a king, for an emperor, it is true that this kind of behavior is evil, but as a father, who doesn't want to unite his family? Siblings in unison?

Even if there are some stumbles in daily life, in the face of major events, the royal family can always be united, which is not the reason why Great Qin can be persevering for a long time?

Ying Ben arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has been standing outside the palace for several hours, the weather outside the palace is high, and Your Highness has been exposed to the sun, the minister is worried that His Highness's body may not be able to eat, why not let His Highness and the rest of the sons retreat, or summon them into the palace?" ”

Ying Ben asked tentatively.

Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Ben coldly, and snorted coldly: "Since they want to kneel and want to dry, then let them dry." ”

"When they can't stand it anymore, they will naturally go back."

Ying Ben opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to persuade again.

Ying Zheng asked Ying Ben to prepare food for herself.

He continued to sit at the desk to deal with the sloppiness.

Such a high-intensity treatment of the music, with the current body of the First Emperor, is really unbearable.

Seeing Ying Ben leaving, Ying Zheng's body lay directly on the case, and began to close his eyes to recuperate, Ying Zheng was a little tired, his thoughts gradually fell into chaos, and he saw a scene in the future like a dream in front of his eyes-——

It was a scene he had dreamed of.

I don't know when, I ended up like Jiang Xiaobai, the Duke of Qi Heng, and before he died, he ordered not to leave the palace, and there was a huge turmoil behind him.

And this scene is more similar to the other day.

If you don't notice it.

This future scene may really happen.

Zhao Gao's calculations are indeed very rough, and they are easy for people to see through, but Zhao Tuo can't see such a rough truth? Li Si can't see it? Yu Shide, Zhao Cheng, Hu Wujing and others can't see it?

They can all see it.

It's just that they all turn a blind eye.

Because as long as he is really dead, will Li Si, the 'rat generation', really be so determined? If they really colluded with Zhao Gao and usurped the edict, Zhao Tuo and others would be famous, and when the thunder attacked, how could Fusu be able to parry?

Fusu died.

How could the court have any more objections?

At that time, the world will really fall into the calculations of Zhao Gao and others.

What can he do?

Forthwith.

He thought of Li Xin and also thought of Meng Tian.

In the end, I couldn't help but shake my head.

After all, they can't compare to Wang Ben.

Thinking that if he was confused, if he didn't notice, he would cause Daqin to fall into the trap, even if he was as resolute as the First Emperor, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

And this also strengthened Yingzheng's heart to cut Zhao Gao.

These rebels and thieves must die!

In a trance.

The sound of reading sounded in his ears again.

These voices are very immature and clear, and for his dozen sons and daughters, he has very little time to personally supervise and teach, and it can be said that most of them have never met a few times.

Even some of his children, he can't name them all, he can't remember their appearances, and he doesn't know what most of them have in school.

He had so much to do in the past.

There is no time to be in the palace at all.

According to the law of the Ying royal family, the chariot is headed in the last month of each quarter, and reports to the monarch about the situation of the prince and princess.

This was the situation during the Qin period.

Since the creation of the empire, the royal law has undergone a great change.

He didn't set up a queen, to some extent, in order to abolish the queen system, in fact, he naturally abolished the concubine system, he originally wanted to choose the best among many sons as the prince, but his idea also directly led to the change of the harem order.

The most complicated harem has no mother of the country who is in charge, and it cannot have the authority of queens and queens in the past.

As a result, the imperial harem, which has always been self-contained, no longer becomes the most deliberately closed world, and is incorporated into the imperial city jurisdiction system-—— and affairs, personnel, and other affairs are under the jurisdiction of the imperial city system.

A large number of his wives and children were under the joint jurisdiction of the Crown Prince's Office and the Zongzheng Mansion.

The studies of the prince and princess are under the jurisdiction of the Crown Prince Fu Office, and the rest of the relevant matters are under the jurisdiction of the Zongzheng Mansion.

He was delighted at first.

However, after this incident, he found a problem.

In fact, this change broke the tradition of the stable royal harem for thousands of years, and brought great confusion to the entire Great Qin.

The emperor's large group of harem women, their words and deeds have not been examined in the past with delicate and measured investigation, and it is difficult to effectively punish their mistakes.

And the eunuchs of the inner maid official office are also difficult to be supervised and inspected.

Although it is nominally handed over to Lang Zhongling and Zongzheng Mansion to be responsible, but when it comes to the internal palace, Lang Zhongling and Zongzheng Mansion are not easy to interfere with, especially the imperial city institutions and the imperial family institutions, there is a huge difference between the two, and it is not feasible to supervise each other.

As a result, there was a huge loss of power in the palace.

Under the decree of the Great Qin, the dignity and inferiority advocated are orderly, and under the existing court order of the Great Qin, there is no distinction between the status of the Great Qin harem.

The only difference is whether he is close to the emperor or not, which also causes the eunuchs of Zhao to constantly befriend the emperor in order to maintain their power in the palace.

As long as you can get close to the emperor, no matter what mistakes you make or how big your crimes are, no one will be held accountable, and no one will dare to pursue them.

And not only eunuchs, but also women in the palace will do everything possible to compete for the same bed, and so on.

And this is also the reason why Zhao Gao dared to be evil and daring.

Emperor-only.

Ying Zheng's eyes darkened.

He knew what was wrong.

I only think about change, but I don't think about new.

This would only plunge the Great Qin court into endless chaos and turmoil.

Meanwhile.

It will also exacerbate all kinds of conflicts between children.

Ying Zheng looked out of the hall with deep eyes, and his thoughts had fallen on his two sons.

The eldest son Fusu and the younger son Hu Hai.

He still vaguely remembers that the appearance of Fusu's mother is beautiful, intelligent, bright and feminine.

Unfortunately, within a few years of giving birth to her first son, Fusu's mother fell ill due to a cold.

At that time, Fusu was still very young, he didn't know anything, and he was still learning the palace babbling language of the prince, and at that time, Fusu was babbling and reading "Poems" by the pool, and there were two sentences for him to hear.

There is Fusu in the mountains, and there is Hehua in Xi.

In his emotion, he named this eldest son Fusu.

Those who support the Soviet Union, the small tree also.

The mountains are full of small trees, and the depressions are full of lotuses.

And just like the poems in "Poetry Zheng Feng", the son slowly grew up like a small tree, his majestic body, bright temperament, and extremely high talent are all like himself, and he is very happy for a while.

It's just that his only flaw in Fusu is that Fusu is too generous and kind.

Naturally, for the children of ordinary subjects, generosity and kindness are by no means a pity.

However, for a person who may become a monarch, generosity is somewhat unrealistic, but among these 20 or so children, the most well-appointed, and the most prestigious in the government and the opposition, is undoubtedly Fusu.

For this reason, Ying Zheng is generally satisfied.

In addition to Fusu, among his many children, the most familiar is Hu Hai.

Whether Hu Hai's biological mother is a Hu girl or not, he can't really remember it for a long time, and he can't remember why Hu Hai got his name.

The only thing he remembers is that this young man, since he was a child, he has a problem that makes people laugh, he is shrewd on the outside and chaotic on the inside, and he often says a few decent words proudly, but if he observes carefully, he will find that Hu Hai's eyes are misty and chaotic, and he doesn't know what he means or why.

I don't know what it means when I read it, I don't know what it means in the military, I don't know what I should say, but I talk loudly, and I always teach people to feel that the heart is wrong.

But because of this, Hu Hai has brought him a lot of fun.

Among his many children, he also likes Hu Hai the most.

Only nowadays

With the Zhangtai Palace Incident, everything changed.

Nothing is the same anymore.

Hu Hai, who was originally vivid and like a living treasure, is more calculating and ambitious after all, and is no longer as confused as in the past, and under the gradual growth of Fusu's wings, he also gave birth to various thoughts and ideas.

It's always different.

However, thinking of Fusu and other brothers, he was still willing to speak for Hu Hai at this time, and Yingzheng was also quite pleased.

At a time when order in the harem is no longer there and everything is full of chaos, it is very rare that these children of his can still unite as one.

That's it.

Ying Zheng's depressed mood was much soothed.

Then.

Ying Ben came in with a copper plate.

There were porridge and side dishes in the copper plate, and now his body could no longer eat those big meats.

Ying Zheng asked the eunuch to present the copper plate.

Ying Ben was a little distressed and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness's body seems to be a little unbearable, or let His Highness retreat, or let him go to a cool place to rest for a while." ”

Ying Zheng's eyes sank, and he said coldly: "No, since they like to tan, let them dry it." ”

Ying Zheng was not moved at all.

Looked at.

Ying Ben had a bitter face.

Ying Zheng eats very slowly, which can be described as chewing slowly.

When he had eaten half of the food on the plate, he stopped, put the copper plate aside, and continued to watch the music.

It seems that Fusu and the others are not reassured at all.

Outside the temple.

Fusu's body was shaky.

His feet were already a little unsneerable, his face was even redder, his forehead was sweating like rain, his whole body was even hotter, his mouth was panting slightly, and his eyes were even a little blurry, with a bit of trance.

Childe and others are not very good.

It's just that I saw that Fusu insisted on it, and he insisted on it together.

Fusu pinched his thigh vigorously with his hand, and it hurt for a while, which made people feel excited, and straightened his back again.

He can't fall.

If it falls, Hu Hai will probably die.

As Ji Heng said, Daqin can't afford the price of 'killing his son', once this precedent is opened, how can the entire court stop in the future? At that time, there will be frequent internal strife, brothers falling apart, and enmity with each other, and the situation will continue to occur.

Daqin couldn't afford it.

As the eldest son of the first emperor, he helped his brother Su and let him sit idly by.

He couldn't.

Even if the father has a grudge, there is anger in his heart.

He must also be persuaded.

It is related to the stability of Daqin, and he has an unshirkable responsibility.

I don't know how long it has been, but Fusu's eyes are already a little dark.

The body is completely unable to support it.

The head can't stop drooping.

But every time he stubbornly raised it, he always refused to let his head go down.

Just when Fusu raised his head again, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, seeing this figure, Fusu was in a lot of energy, straightened his waist again, and said loudly: "Son-in-law Fusu, I implore my father to give Hu Hai a way to live." ”

However, no response was received.

This figure didn't even look at him, and walked away directly.

Yingzheng's pace is not fast.

Step by step, I went to the bottom of the porch.

The gentle breeze lifts people's spirits.

In the scorching summer of July, the sky is blue, and there are continuous cicadas during the day, as people approach, the cicada chirping suddenly becomes smaller, and as people move away, the cicada chirping is a little more irritable, Ying Zheng feels the temperature of the scorching sun, and the body that was originally a little cold, under the irradiation of the sun, it is also a little more warm.

Ying Zheng stopped outside the corridor and made a few long and slow breaths.

Time.

I even feel a lot healthier.

He looked at the sun hanging high and sighed softly.

Turned around and walked back.

Ultimately.

He stopped outside the Xianyang Palace.

Jin Wu moved westward, the shadow of the tall palace in pitch black, and the heavy figure of the first emperor, tightly protected the more than 20 children in the rear, preventing the scorching sun from scorching them to the scorching sun.

Feeling the changes around him, Fusu looked behind him blankly.

I saw the First Emperor standing with his hands in his hands, with his back to everyone.

"Father."

Fusu's heart was sour.

Ying Zheng stretched out his hand, felt the sunlight, and said indifferently: "The sun is not so scorching, you can't hold on, if you don't even have the perseverance to insist, why do you think I should listen to your advice?" ”

"Because you are so many? And I'm alone? ”

Ying Zheng turned around.

The scorching sun shone on Ying Zheng's body, exuding a dazzling light.

made Fusu and the others a little unable to open their eyes. (End of chapter)
