The Great Qin Dynasty: The egg of the Black Bird was revered as a national guardian beast.

"Kill Chunyu Yue?"

Fusu had never even considered this possibility, but now that the First Emperor had asked him, he could only speak cautiously.

"If he has truly broken the law and deserves death, I will certainly follow the Qin law and execute him according to the law!"

"What if he is innocent?" the First Emperor continued to ask.

"this."

He glanced down at the ground.

"Perhaps we can first imprison him, interrogate him rigorously, and then listen to his own account to find out the truth."

"The truth?" The First Emperor chuckled as he spoke.

He then asked, "Is the truth really that important?"

Fusu lowered his eyes listlessly, looking at the ground and the shadow cast by the First Emperor's body, remaining silent for a long time.

The First Emperor asked, "Do you know Bai Qi?"

Fusu raised his eyes: "The number one general of Qin, known as the Butcher of Men, later defied the king's orders and may be plotting a rebellion."

Therefore, the late King Zhao sent an envoy to bestow a sword upon him, ordering him to commit suicide.

"Indeed." The First Emperor nodded. "This is the historian's record, but do you think it's really true?"

"This...could it be..."

Fusu looked up and asked, "Is there some hidden story behind this?"

"That's right." The First Emperor didn't hide anything. "If Bai Qi really wanted to rebel, why would he be so listless?"

"Before committing suicide, Bai Qi had already been ordered to be demoted to a lower rank and relocated to Yinmi. So how could he have been accused of treason?"

Fusu remained silent for a while.

He lowered his eyes: "Then, isn't this a miscarriage of justice?"

"Wrong, you still don't understand!"

When the First Emperor walked up to Fusu, he was a little taller than Fusu, but after putting on the crown, he was even taller.

This is the situation over the past ten years or so.

This was the first time the First Emperor had spoken so much to Fusu.

Because the First Emperor believed that the former Fusu did not even have the capacity to know these things.

As for now? Ha, in every father's eyes, no matter what his son is like, he will always be a good-for-nothing.

"Does it matter whether Bai Qi is guilty or not? Does it matter whether Bai Qi was wronged or not? No, it doesn't matter!"

"The problem is, Bai Qi did indeed have the ability to rebel."

The First Emperor lowered his eyes, his sharp gaze piercing through the beaded pendant as he looked at Fusu: "This, that's what's important!"

Fusu lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

"So, what I want to ask is..."

"If such a person exists, it doesn't matter whether he is Chunyu Yue, Meng Tian, ​​or Wang Jian."

"Once they threaten the rule."

"Fusu," his eyes narrowed slightly, "tell me, can you kill them without hesitation?"

Fusu paused for a moment, then nodded, seemingly taking it for granted, but his tone carried a hint of sorrow.

"Your son... can kill them!"

But after looking at him for a long time, the First Emperor smiled.

He slowly closed his eyes and asked, "Even if I believe what you say, do you believe it yourself?"

Fusu did not speak.

He simply lowered his head and stared blankly at the ground.

The First Emperor looked at Fusu for a long time, but asked no more questions. He simply put his hands behind his back, turned his back, and looked at the curtain.

He slowly raised his hand and waved it backward.

"Go down, and remember what you said today. Never forget it!"

...........

After Fusu withdrew.

Looking at the curtain in front of him, the First Emperor shook his head.

He hesitated.

He then let out a long sigh: "You've become more worldly, but Fusu..."

"Your heart isn't ruthless enough!"

In the eyes of the First Emperor, there are many kinds of benevolent rule.

However, killing ministers is the most despicable but also relatively useful method in the way of the king.

Even if killing ministers is a low-level form of benevolent rule,

However, for a qualified ruler, the will to kill is essential and absolutely indispensable.

The curtain was lifted, and the First Emperor stepped inside.

Sitting behind his desk, looking around at the empty hall, the First Emperor felt a sense of melancholy.

He turned his head to the side and looked at a soft couch next to him.

This is where the Heavenly Fate Mystic Bird often sits, but now, that slender figure is nowhere to be seen.

He took a long feather from his waist.

This is the tail feather of the Celestial Bird.

It was pulled down by that rebellious son Hu Hai, and then given to him by the Heavenly Mandate Black Bird.

He let out a soft sigh.

The First Emperor carefully placed the feather on the soft couch, as if he were still there.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

But before he could finish laughing, a gust of wind came and the feathers on the soft couch were blown away.

The First Emperor hurriedly got up and went to chase after him.

Fortunately, the curtain prevented the feathers from being blown away.

Relieved, the First Emperor frowned slightly, then called out loudly, "Guards!"

"His Majesty."

Soon, several eunuchs and palace maids rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

With a wave of his hand, the First Emperor ordered: "Close all the doors and windows for me. If even a wisp of wind blows in, you will be held responsible!"

"Yes, yes."

The eunuchs and palace maids nodded hurriedly, and then dispersed to various places to close the doors and windows tightly.

After closing all the doors and windows.

Only then did the First Emperor sit back down at his desk.

He carefully placed the feather in his hand onto the soft couch.

It seemed as if through this feather,

Looking at that person who has been gone since, whose whereabouts are unknown.

He sighed deeply: "Heavenly Fate Mystic Bird, you've been gone for several days now. I wonder where you are now?"

From day to night, from night to dawn.

The First Emperor then processed the memorials at his desk, and finally lay down on the desk and fell into a deep sleep.

He often turns his head to look, as if he is expecting something.

But the figure he longed to see was nowhere to be found on that soft couch; only a feather remained...

...........

I don't know where,

A massive mountain range, stretching for thousands of miles.

Like a majestic dragon, it lies atop a high mountain between heaven and earth.

But there was a giant bird with jet-black feathers.

His claws were sharp, and he stood there, his eyes, black to purple, scanning his surroundings.

The top of this mountain is covered with snow all year round.

"I've heard that there are snow lotuses from the Tianshan Mountains here."

"I wonder if the snow lotus from the Tian Shan Mountains here has the effect of granting immortality?"

He slowly closed his eyes and stopped thinking about it.

It spread its enormous wings, flapped them slightly, and leaped down from the top of the mountain.

The sound of whistling wind reached my ears.

With a long cry, the giant black bird trailed its long tail feathers as it searched from top to bottom.
