My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 281 The middleman’s father-in-law (please book all the monthly passes for reward!)

"This time, the prince used his strength to prove the prince's military talent to the ministers in the court. Even the king, he almost stayed away from the court for three days to celebrate."

"The king is very satisfied with the prince's performance in this battle. That's why I went to ask the officials. But I privately thought that the prince had already made extraordinary achievements and his prestige spread far and wide. If you want to go further, this is an excellent solution. Chance."

Fusu said quickly, "Conquest is not what I want. All I want is to put everything I have learned in my life to use, that's all. When this garrison is over, I will definitely return to Xianyang as scheduled."

Feng Quji did not answer Fusu's words.

Whether to go back or stay, whether to continue fighting or to give up. This is not what Fusu has the final say.

It all depends on what Ying Zheng wants.

The king's intention is naturally to let Fusu take full charge of the subsequent conquests of Qi and Chu. Because for the king, sending any trusted general to lead [-] troops to attack the Chu State would be more reassuring than sending Fusu out.

But the king also has concerns. First, he is worried that Fusu is like an epiphyllum and can only bloom once in a short period of time. Later, Fusu will formally attack two countries. If there is any mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted.

The more you sincerely think about Fusu, the more you will consider the worst outcome of the matter and try to prevent it.

Second, the prince is young. The prince may not have the intention to rebel, but if the people around the prince have evil intentions and instigate the prince to do something else, that's not guaranteed.

What the king means is to summon Wang Ben to assist Fusu in conquering Qi and Chu.

At that time, all the credit will go to Fusu.

But after this, how should Fusu take credit?

This is another purpose of Feng Quji coming here.

He hoped that the prince could make a wise choice and consider the next few decades, and not just care about the momentary victory or defeat.

Fame, fortune, and wealth are nothing compared to the supreme power.

However, as a trusted minister of Qin Wangzheng, Feng Quji could not say this to Fusu alone.

"Prince, it's rare for me to agree with the prince on this matter."

Fusu began to curse in his heart. I'm just being humble, you really didn't ask me to continue attacking Chu.

Feng Quji panicked slightly when he saw Fusu's lower jaw bulging slightly.

He did not dare to offend the prince, but he hoped that the prince would listen to him. The prince is either in Yuyang Palace or at the border. The king will not let the prince participate in the power struggle in the court.

Only he has real power.

As long as the prince is willing to listen to him, he can ensure that the prince successfully succeeds to the throne.

"Prince, I think that guarding the border for a long time is already extremely hard. If the prince continues to guard the border and even presides over the attack on Chu, it will be too hard for the prince. These ministers are also true. The king clearly wants to reward the prince, but they don't. I suggest that the prince should continue to work hard outside. I really feel that it is not worth it for the prince."

Fusu now understood what Feng Quji was talking about.

Ying Zheng asked the minister to find a way to reward himself.

A group of people saw that the king was suspicious of Wang Jian and his son, and guessed that Ying Zheng was unwilling to let others get involved in the future success of pacifying Chu, so they rushed to suggest giving Fusu this opportunity.

Feng Quji's words were high-sounding, but his position was very clear. He believed that it was not worthwhile for him to preside over the war against Chu.

"We are just following orders. Why should we consider whether it is worth it or not?"

Feng Quji said, "Once a person in a high position makes a wrong decision, the price will be very heavy. Sometimes, it is really a good thing that not everyone is fighting for. Blessings come from disasters, and disasters come from blessings." Fu. Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, it all depends on how people deal with it."

"Young Master Shao is a man of great virtue. He has served your father for a long time and has won your father's trust. I wonder what your advice is?"

Feng Quji twirled his beard, his words had been made very clear.

Fusu will go back now to ask for land and rewards, and stop worrying about the war in Chu. Going back now, the credit is not big, but getting a throne is really a big profit.

If you stay in the Chu State, you have clearly broken the hard nut now. Qin's [-]-strong army will destroy the Chu State, which is almost a matter of time and night.

When this actual credit falls on you, the entire army of Qin will be led by you. At that time, your father, the King, will never be willing to give you any other rewards.

If the prince wants to pursue fame and popularity, he will often be punished by the king.

After the war is all won and you come back to Xianyang, not to mention whether there are any rewards, the blows alone will be enough for you.

There is nothing you can do about it, Qin Wangzheng is your father. He was born earlier than you and started his career earlier than you. He just has the ability to do these things.

Feng Quji did not answer Fusu again.

"As for me, once I say something once, I basically won't say it a second time."

Feng Quji left these words and walked away with an indifferent expression.

Fusu and the eunuchs Langwei were standing behind. In full view of everyone, he said such incomprehensible words to Fusu, which made everyone dissatisfied.

Guan Fu stepped forward and said, "Prince, how could the young master speak to the prince like this?"

In front of everyone, Fusu's expression did not change. He just said in a very normal tone, "Young Mansion is my subordinate, there is nothing wrong with it."

[Battleman: Father-in-law]

After everyone heard what the prince said, they naturally felt unfair for the prince.

Everyone couldn't help but say, "Prince, you have such a good temper."

Fusu waved his hand, "It's all trivial matters."

Feng Quji is a minister with real power, in charge of all the money of the Qin State, and the Minister of Finance of the Qin State.

With a lot of money, this kind of tone and attitude is considered normal.

But Fusu always felt that Feng Quji wanted to make a quick decision on his own. According to Feng Quji's wishes, Ying Zheng still trusts him until now. So the person who came to Xinzheng this time was Feng Quji, not other ministers.

During dinner in the evening, Fusu was still thinking about what Feng Quji said today.

"Does he mean to give me a chance to win the title of king? But he wants me to get out of this war as soon as possible."

Could it be that my father-in-law wants to be the middleman between me and my father-in-law?

Fusu was in Xianyang City. One of his backers was Feng Quji, and the other was Xiong Qi.

Fusu already knew what Xiong Qi was thinking.

I didn't expect that Feng Quji, who looked at him respectfully, would be so keen on power.

Fusu wanted to use their strength to stabilize his position. As a result, these two people were surprisingly consistent in dealing with their own problems. They both regarded themselves as stepping stones.

They are worthy of being the powerful ministers around King Qin. Every one of them is well-deserved.

Fusu kept drinking wine while he was eating. He tasted the fruit wine, and the taste was sweet in his mouth.

Fusu said to the two eunuchs, "Tomorrow, invite the young master to come for a drink. Be sure to invite them."

　The author does not believe that military merit is the [most] important to the successors of the empire. In that era, power and reputation were crucial. As a prince, he already has the natural legal right to inherit the throne. If you only have soldiers and horses, going back to rebel will quickly lead to failure because the name is not justified. If a son rebels against his father, he will be ridiculed by the world and have no one to follow him. The second is that the prestige of Qin Wangzheng was still very high at this time, especially his control over Guanzhong was very strong. In a word, although Fusu was getting stronger at this time, neither strength nor timing was enough to succeed to the throne by abnormal means.
