Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 225 Father and Son (Part )

"What did you say?"

The King of Qin's voice became colder as he asked his son.

His heart suddenly began to beat violently, causing some bad memories to emerge in King Qin's mind.

He subconsciously pinched the book spread out in front of him, exerting force with his fingers, his face cold.

Fusu was also shocked by his father's reaction.

But as the eldest son, he enjoyed too much pampering, so although his character was gentle, he was far from cowardly.

Fusu dared to express his opinions to his father.

Especially national politics!
At present, Fusu has not been canonized as the crown prince, but everything around him tells him:
You are the crown prince of Qin.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with you paying attention to national affairs and putting forward your opinions!

So Fusu calmed down and repeated what he had just said.

"I was thinking, Qin already has the land of the Three Jins, the territory is already very large, and my father is also very busy handling state affairs... Why do we have to continue the war?"

From conquering Han to destroying Wei,

It only took the Qin State five years.

What a drastic move!
The Three Kingdoms were destroyed in five years. The pain of war, the consumption of manpower and material resources, and the problems caused by expansion...

Fusu couldn't help feeling worried after just hearing a few things.

The officials of Qin were busy with this, and the monarch of Qin was also reviewing memorials day and night, not daring to be negligent for a moment.

But even so,
The King of Qin's will remained unwavering. He wanted to continue fighting, all the way to the end of the Xia, to the inland Qin State, and to the front of the vast ocean.

Fusu could not understand such persistence and was saddened by such sacrifice.

His teacher Chunyu Yue was a Confucian scholar from Qi State. He was very worried that Qin State would attack Qi State in the future.

His mother's family was the royal family of the Chu State. The brothers Changping and Changwen also secretly expressed their concerns about their motherland to their nephew Fusu.

After all, after the Three Jins,
Qin's only option was to head south or east; there was no other way out.

Even when his mother was ill, she held Fusu's hand and said, "I am really worried that I will hear the news of the demise of the Chu State!"

"If this day ever comes, I might as well die now!"

Hearing Fusu's question,

King Zheng of Qin couldn't help but twitch his face.

He wanted to be angry, furious, and question his favorite son why he didn't understand him.

You were created by me.

You should be my strongest supporter.
How can you say such a thing!

But in the end,
The King of Qin still took a deep breath.

He thought:
Will not,
Fusu was just young and ignorant.
He didn't really want to disobey his father!

As long as I explain it to him carefully and make him understand the importance of "Heaven's Mandate" and the wishes of Qin kings of all generations, he will understand me.

He would never betray himself like his grandparents did!

then,

The King of Qin forced himself to let go of the broken memorial and slowly said to Fusu:
"Since King Ping moved east, the world has been in too much chaos."

"I cannot allow this world to continue in chaos!"

As long as we are unified,
The nations no longer exist,

Then the wars between the princes will naturally disappear.

The King of Qin believed that

This is the kindness that I give to the world.

He will lead everyone to a stable and bright future.

People all over the world will praise his greatness, appreciate his merits, and make him the most eye-catching person in the world!

instead of...

I am not the child who wants to cry but cannot, and can only curl up in my little room, wrapped in a quilt and sobbing secretly.

But he heard Fusu say:
"But if you fight too hastily and use too harsh means, even if you gain the land, the people will not be loyal to you!"

This prince of Qin pointed out his father's problem with a benevolent heart that was completely different from that of his predecessors.

"When you captured Handan, you ordered some of them to be killed. This is not good!"

"Isn't the riot in Xinzheng last year proof that people's hearts are not with us?"

Fusu felt that

The Zhao family is also a descendant of the Ying family.

There should have been a close relationship between Qin and Zhao.

After conquering Zhao, Qin should have established it as a model for Qin to govern new lands and alleviate the rejection of Qin's rule by people from other countries.

Instead of conquering Handan,
Then the killing began.

The first state to be conquered by Qin, Han, was frightened by Qin's actions in Handan and thus caused civil unrest.

King Zheng of Qin listened silently, but he only heard a little bit of it; the rest turned into a buzzing in his ears.

He felt like his breathing was about to stop.

This child...

This child!

"shut up!"

The King of Qin had a cold face and issued a harsh rebuke to his beloved eldest son. Fusu was frightened by his anger, but the stubbornness he inherited from his father did not flare up at an inappropriate time.

He straightened his back and looked at his father with firm eyes.

He actually looks very similar to the King of Qin.

However, because of his thoughts and experiences from childhood to adulthood, he is completely different from the King of Qin.

So King Zheng of Qin thought sadly:
Fusu,

Are you going to betray me too?
"go out!"

"Get out!"

He raised his hand and drove Fusu away.

Then, he quietly sat back on his throne.

King Zheng of Qin looked at the government affairs in front of him, which seemed to never disappear, with a serious expression on his face.

After a long time,

He slowly reached out his hand, took out a new document, asked someone to turn on the light, and began to read it carefully.

The text on it is densely packed, describing his country, his people, and recent events.

The content is very boring.
It's nothing more than how much the land has expanded and what problems have arisen between people.

But everyone stood below, eagerly awaiting the monarch's verdict and rewards and punishments.

And that’s how it should be!
The operation of this world,

They all need guidance from the king!
As long as he holds the supreme power, he is the most important person in the world!
Qin Wangzheng's fingers stroked a document, he lowered his eyes, and said to himself silently:
"The human heart is like water, it cannot be grasped."

"that power……"

"Only power is the most reliable!"

But even if I thought so,

The King of Qin couldn't help but look forward to some beautiful things.

As long as no one betrays him,
As long as someone keeps following him,

King Qin still wanted to feel loved.

……

Fusu left his father's palace and returned to his mother.

The queen stretched out her dry, sickly hand and stroked his hair.

She asked her son, "You seem confused, what is it?"

Fusu told his mother what had just happened.

After hearing this, the queen was stunned for a moment, then trembled and said to Fusu, "Does your idea have anything to do with your two uncles?"

Fusu said, "My uncle and his friends did tell me that they were worried about the rapid expansion of Qin."

"…Mother, why are you crying?"

Fusu raised his head and looked at the queen in confusion, who seemed inexplicably sad.

He reached out and wiped the tears from his mother's thin and shrunken face. He was very worried about her health. "Is it because of the illness?"

The queen shook her head with difficulty.

She just grabbed Fusu's hand and said, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die soon!"

Fusu hugged his mother anxiously, "Why do you say that?"

"Isn't your illness stable?"

The queen covered her face, trying to stop the tears from falling.

She didn't explain much, just told Fusu, "Don't worry about me, death will only be a relief for me!"

"And after I die, you must stop interacting with your two uncles!"

"Go to Lord Dingyang more often and get close to your fiancée!"

"This is a good thing for you!"

Mr. Dingyang,
It was the title that Hei Zhuang received after he helped King Zheng of Qin to quell the rebellion of Lao Ai and achieved some military merits in the war.

Before the Hei family's mansion, they had already established a high status, and now they were all prominent figures in the Qin State.

Not to mention,

Hei Zhuang grew up with the King of Qin.
When his daughter was ten years old, she was engaged to Fusu.

The future of the Hei family is destined to be brighter and more ambitious.

Fusu wanted to ask her the reason.

But the queen just sobbed in pain:
"Stop talking, stop talking!"

……

In the palace of Lord Changping,
The two brothers finally made up their minds.

"We want to go back to Chu!"

"No more hesitation!"

They looked at the towering palace in the distance, thought of the king sitting inside, and thought of the friendship between the two sides from childhood to adulthood.

But in the end,
The two turned and headed south.
