Chapter 65 Father and Son (Fusu 2.0)

In Yichun Palace, when Fusu received the imperial decree that his father would be arriving, he was a little confused and had the same question as the other ministers: What happened to his father recently?
In less than half a month, I came to see him twice, which is incredible.

Could this also be the work of the mysterious man living in the palace?
It seems that this person is not completely a flatterer, he also has a good side!
Although he had conflicts with his father, Fusu still hoped that his father would come to see him.

What normal son doesn't admire his father?
I think my father came here this time because of the bamboo slips he wrote a few days ago. I don’t know whether he came to reprimand him or because he thinks what he said makes sense and came to ask him questions?

The former should be more likely. With my father's stubborn and strong character, how could he be easily persuaded by him?

It looks like I'll be scolded today!
A wry smile appeared on Fusu's face, and he hurriedly ordered the eunuchs and palace maids in Yichun Palace to prepare to welcome Ying Zheng's arrival.

In terms of stubbornness, the Qin Shi Huang and Fusu were really alike. The Qin Shi Huang thought Fusu was stubborn, and Fusu also thought the Qin Shi Huang was stubborn. The two of them were at loggerheads, and there was no figure like Empress Ma or Empress Zhangsun to mediate.

But speaking of it, the First Emperor was not of the same type as Hongwu and Erfeng, so it is unlikely that he would have such a queen. So the question is, why didn't the First Emperor take a queen?

Soon, under the escort of a group of guards, Ying Zheng arrived at Yichun Palace. Fusu, who had been waiting outside the palace, hurried forward, bowed and said, "Your son Fusu greets you, father!"

Ying Zheng glanced at him and nodded: "Get up, let's talk about it in the palace!"

The father and son walked into the Yichun Palace. Although it was Fusu's palace, Ying Zheng was the father and the king, so he naturally sat in the main seat, and Fusu sat on his left.

Fusu felt that his father was very strange today. He did not ask him what book he had been reading recently and what he felt about it as soon as he came, and then scolded him. Instead, he was really kind to him like a father.

Now that he has sat down, the eunuch who came with his father immediately serves him food. Does his father want to have a meal with him?

Looking at the dishes on the table in front of him, Fusu couldn't help but recall when was the last time he had a meal with his father?
If it was a palace banquet, it didn't last long, but since he and his father were the only ones dining together, it must have been a long time.

After the eunuchs served the dishes, Ying Zheng said, "Withdraw!"

Except for the guards who were there to ensure safety, all the eunuchs and palace maids in Yichun Palace retreated, leaving only the father and son in the palace.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and said, "It's been a long time since I've had a meal like this with you. Eat!"

Fusu was his eldest son. When Fusu was born, he had not yet taken power. When he saw his newborn son, the emotion and joy of the continuation of his bloodline were one of the few bright spots in his life during those difficult years.

This is his first son, the continuation of his bloodline and the continuation of the Qin Dynasty!

That was why he loved this son so much, named him Fusu, and always kept the position of crown prince for him.

In the history that Li Nian told, until his death, Fusu was still the most preferred heir to the empire in his heart!

Fusu didn't understand what his father was going to do today, but it was obvious that his father was not here to reprimand him. He also sighed, "It has indeed been a long time."

Ying Zheng said: "I am different from you. When I was young, your grandfather was often not around, so he didn't teach me often. I didn't learn how to teach from your grandfather."

Ying Zheng said this not only to Fusu, but also to his other children, because according to the history told by Li Nian, he, the first emperor, was quite unsuccessful in educating his children.

His daughters were fine, as the princess had a hard time inheriting the throne. However, his sons, Fusu was raised to be stubborn, stupid and corrupt, his youngest son Hu Hai was raised to be a ferocious beast, and his other sons were all mediocre.

Fusu put down his chopsticks, and Ying Zheng continued, "When I was thirteen, your grandfather passed away. I have never experienced a father after the age of thirteen, so naturally I don't understand your views on me at this age." "Someone told me that at your current age, you will develop something called 'rebellious psychology', that is, if I think it is right, you will think it is wrong, and if I think it is wrong, you will think it is right. You will often think that the other party does not know what is good for you. How stubborn you are. I thought about it carefully and I think what he said is not wrong!"

"Fusu, is this how you see me?"

This sentence frightened Fusu so much that he quickly put down his chopsticks and was about to admit his fault to Ying Zheng, but he heard Ying Zheng say: "I am not here to judge whether you are right or wrong. Even if I point out your mistakes, can you take them to heart? It will just go in one ear and out the other. You will still hold on to your own ideas."

Fusu said: "I dare not!"

Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu and didn't ask "Are you really afraid or just pretending not to dare?" He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, then asked: "Hasn't what happened in the court today reached your ears yet?"

Fusu lowered his head. How could it be possible that what happened in the court had not reached his ears?

He is the eldest son of the King of Qin and the most likely person to inherit the throne of the Qin Dynasty. Even if it is not his own wish, a group of people will gather around him. These people will take the initiative to inquire about news for him and inform him.

Without waiting for Fusu to answer, Ying Zheng asked again: "Many people want to make you the crown prince, what do you think?"

Fusu said: "It's all up to my father to decide!"

Hearing this answer, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes: It's all up to me, it's all up to me, have you ever thought about taking the initiative to fight for it? No wonder in the history that Li Nian mentioned, he committed suicide because of a false edict!

Even if there was an envoy who was delivering the imperial edict forcing you, there were 300,000 troops under Meng Tian. If you didn't want to die, how could the envoy force you to die? And with your good reputation throughout the world, even if the imperial edict was true, many people would believe it if you said it was false, right?

When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were planning the rebellion, they were using your name!

If it were him, he would definitely answer: My ministers have a good eye. I am indeed capable of being the crown prince. Father, please rest assured and hand over the crown prince position to me.

But Ying Zheng suppressed the urge to scold Fusu. He was his biological son and his favorite. On the other hand, Fusu was still very loyal to his father.

Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Ying Zheng asked, "What if I also want to make you the crown prince?"

Fusu was a little surprised. This was the first time that his father had openly expressed to him his intention to make him the crown prince, and he was about to speak.

But seeing Fusu's slowness, Ying Zheng's dissatisfaction rose again. He threw his chopsticks on the table and said to Fusu, "Let me be frank with you. I do want to make you the crown prince, but it is not certain whether you can be the crown prince. Don't you believe that benevolent government can rule the world?"

"I will appoint you as the chief official of a place, and you will govern it personally, but you are not allowed to use the identity of a prince, the name of Fusu, or let anyone know that you are my son. Are you willing?"

Fusu was also a stubborn person, so he immediately agreed: "I am willing!"

He must govern that place well and show his father who is right and who is wrong.

Ying Zheng nodded, picked up his chopsticks and continued eating. He not only wanted to throw Fusu out, but also other sons of the right age. However, the other sons would not be treated the same as Fusu.
