My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 865 True Love
"Today is a very happy day." As soon as the emperor returned to the palace, Chen Ping greeted him with a smile and bowed.

"I originally thought that the ministers would keep silent today. I didn't expect them to do this." Qin II said bluntly, "These fence-sitters are changing their stance according to the wind."

"Yeah, these people change their faces faster than turning the pages of a book."

Both the emperor and his ministers were in a good mood today, and the atmosphere in the palace was much more relaxed and cheerful than usual.

Summer is here and the lotus flowers are in bloom.

The pond was filled with the fragrance of fresh lotus flowers. The dragonfly folded its wings and stood quietly on the flower. Although the dragonfly was resting, it was always alertly observing its surroundings.

It was the whole morning and everyone in Zhangtai Palace was very happy.

Normally, the palace maids would have droopy faces when carrying plates, but today they were smiling even as they moved jars and copper furnaces.

When the queen came, everyone in the palace was filled with joy.

However, the queen couldn't feel happy when she saw everyone's happy faces.

Instead, she was worried.

It seemed as if something big had happened.

No one dared to come to see the emperor today, and there was little going on in the Zhangtai Palace. Chen Gong was describing what happened in the court today to a group of eunuchs outside the palace. A group of people gathered together, whispering and exposing the shortcomings of the ministers; then they heard something exciting and stamped their feet and laughed out loud.

In front of Zhangtai Palace, they were the ones laughing the loudest.

Occasionally someone passed by, and they immediately became like frightened birds, suddenly becoming quiet and silent. They also looked around vigilantly, even looking down the corridor to avoid being heard.

But they were reluctant to end the topic, as if their lives would be lost if they did.

At noon, the sun stood at its highest point in the sky, scorching everyone's face.

Chen Gong accompanied this group of eunuchs, excitedly telling them everything. As they were chatting, his expression suddenly changed when he faced the person at the other end of the corridor, and he lowered his head respectfully.

When everyone reacted, Chen Gong was suddenly startled, as if a rope was put around his neck and he was being lifted up suddenly.

But when he turned around, Chen Gong saw that the person coming was actually the queen.

Alas—the Queen is a rare guest.

The queen had no power and everyone in the palace was talking about her.

The emperor is a man with a strange mind, difficult for ordinary people to understand.

He wrote love letters to the queen, but handed over the power of governing the palace to Lu Zhi.

It's strange.

The eunuchs bowed and said in unison, "We pay our respects to the Queen."

Chen Gong hurriedly bowed and saluted, but the queen had already walked past him without even looking at him.

When Chen Gong saw the Queen's expression, he knew something had happened.

Most women are like this, their joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are all shown on their faces.

The queen walked away, but the eunuchs still surrounded Chen Gong, "Doctor Mao was the one who dared to stop His Majesty the First Emperor in front of the Xuanyuan Gate of the Xianyang Palace."

"If you dare to talk to Doctor Mao, shouldn't you consider who you are beforehand?"

"That's not."

"Imperial Censor Feng is really brave. He actually dared to debate with Doctor Mao."

"After all, Censor Feng is still young. When Your Majesty attacked the State of Zhao, the most talented people in the world came to Xianyang City. We have met all kinds of people."

"That is, when your Majesty ascended the throne, those people who used to be children could only be behind the scenes and follow the adults. Now that they are in the front stage, they don't know how to weigh themselves."

The eunuchs were discussing Feng Jie's actions.

The eunuchs in the palace had basically seen all kinds of storms and waves. The kings, princes, generals and ministers were all passing clouds.

You may be a celebrity today and a prisoner tomorrow.

You were showing off your power yesterday, but the next second you made the emperor unhappy. If the emperor wants you to die, you have to die.

There are so many such things.

So when the eunuchs chat, they don't care at all about your identity.

No matter how powerful someone is, he can’t be greater than the emperor. The emperor is popular among the people.

The meaning of winning people's hearts is that the emperor has connections everywhere.

These eunuchs talked about the nobles of the court without any scruples, just like the vegetable vendors in the streets of Xianyang who casually spoke ill of their neighbors, gossiping about the neighbors on the east side and the west side.

"The Grand Minister of Agriculture has finally made it. He used to be just a librarian."

"The library is a cold, dusty place in Xianyang Palace. Not to mention that the emperor only goes there a few times a year, even important officials in the palace and the imperial court would send clerks to borrow books if they needed to."

"When those petty officials saw Zhang Cang, none of them took him seriously."

"He's sitting on the bench."

"Because the villain was jealous and disgusted with his talent, he was deliberately made to sit on the bench in his prime."

"He has been sitting there for ten years. Fortunately, the prince took a fancy to him. Otherwise, with his temper, he would be the same as Cheng Miao."

"He finally made it. When His Majesty ascended the throne, he was immediately given an official position as Minister of Agriculture."

"This Minister of Agriculture is a court official appointed by the emperor. He was a high-ranking official in the Zhou Dynasty."

"I heard that your majesty has another purpose for setting up so many official positions."

Chen Gong looked at this man with some malice, "Purpose, what is your purpose?"

"Your Majesty intends to create new official positions so that those important positions and powers can be distributed to others, and then the three dukes and nine ministers set up by the emperor will be made meaningless."

"Don't you realize that the people who often enter the palace now are the Grand Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Justice? The two prime ministers are rarely summoned by His Majesty."

"In the past, the emperor would summon the prime minister at any time. The two prime ministers would enter the palace almost every day."

"When Li Si became prime minister, the emperor deliberately gave the ancestral home of the Bai family to Li Si in order to see him as soon as possible. This was because the ancestral home of the Bai family was near the city of Xianyang."

“What an honor that is.”

"Well - times have changed. The position of Prime Minister is not valuable anymore. I guess bigger things will happen in the future."

Several eunuchs gathered together and talked vividly.

When they turned around, they suddenly found that Chen Gong was gone.

It turned out that Chen Gong was listening to these people chatting, and suddenly he remembered that the Queen had a bad look on her face just now.

The empress would not usually come to Zhangtai Palace, and the emperor had stripped her of all power and did not allow her to take any power.

This seems to be an attempt to better control the Queen and the Crown Prince.

The queen was also a sensible person. After the eldest prince was named the crown prince, she basically turned a blind eye to the issue of giving up power.

Anyway, as long as her son is the crown prince, she is the queen, and her father is the prime minister, this iron triangle relationship is enough to meet all her needs.

However, sometimes when one thinks about the relationship status of these three people, it can make people feel scared.

The father is powerful, the son is the crown prince, and the mother is the queen and she is still young.

Any normal man would be on guard.

But the more this is the case, the more likely it is that something must have happened for the queen to come to Zhangtai Palace at this time.

Chen Gong had always wanted to make a contribution and win a place in front of the emperor. He had been serving as the Unicorn since he entered the palace, and had been in this position for more than ten years.

In the past, the palace was full of ruthless people, but now the situation has changed. Isn’t this a good opportunity for me?

Therefore, Chen Gong seized the opportunity and took a shortcut to report to Qin II.

In the Zhangtai Palace, the emperor was playing with a little tiger.

The tiger, which had been kept in a cage for a long time, thought it was a kitten and was lazily lying on the emperor's lap and playing.

Chen Gong came in rashly and saw that the emperor was happy. He wondered whether he should meddle in other people's business and should not say such things to the emperor.

The emperor is obviously happy. If I remind him, wouldn't it seem that his majesty is afraid of the queen?
Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, wanting to slip away while the emperor wasn't paying attention.

"Why are you here?" The emperor was indeed happy. Today he was as happy as the eight-year-old fat boy who had just traveled through time. He held the little tiger as his own child and fed him milk.

"Your Majesty, I just saw the Queen coming." Chen Gong was not so clever with his words. When the Emperor asked, he spoke subconsciously and nervously.

After saying this, he started to get scared again and his legs started to tremble.

He felt like he was doing something improper... "Queen?" The emperor raised his head again.

The Feng family is not easy to control, and their influence spreads all over Guanzhong. Although the queen is good, her fault is that she is too filial.

The mistake was that her father's family lived next to the Xianyang Palace.

The queen is capable of helping her maternal clan, and she has deep feelings for them.

After all, not everyone is like my mother. My mother is an unfilial daughter. Since my grandmother left, my mother has no attachment to the State of Chu.

The emperor became uneasy.

If the emperor didn't love the queen, he would have just prepared a way for her to die.

But the emperor respected and loved the queen, and gave her everything except power.

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Fusu thought that what he had done was perfect. He thought that his family could live a peaceful and happy life. However, the result was different from what he expected.

"What is the Queen doing here?" Fusu asked himself.

He put the little tiger down, and the eunuch immediately put the tiger into a cage and put the milk basin inside.

The little tiger licked and sucked the milk bowl vigorously.

The sound of it sucking milk, smacking, could be heard in the hall.

After all, the emperor was a loving man. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but think of his mother again.

Chen Gong saw that the emperor was in deep thought and said, "The queen doesn't look very happy."

Fusu looked at the little tiger and thought of his past self.

Children have only one worry: how to grow up quickly and become adults. In the adult world, however, there are all kinds of worries every day.

The emperor took a sip of tea and was thinking about it when suddenly another envoy on duty walked in.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here. Do you need to inform her?"

According to regulations, the queen has the power to enter and exit various places in the palace.

This was the end of the war and the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, and the world belonged to this couple in half.

No one dared to stop the Queen from coming to Zhangtai, let alone going to Dazheng Hall.

The Umbrella Commander was also worried. If the Queen was stopped from coming in, she would definitely be angry.

But what if it wasn't the emperor's intention to let the queen in so easily?

The queen does not govern the palace.

If you don't pay attention to such small things and accidentally cause a rift between the emperor and the empress, that would be a serious sin.

Isn’t this how the previous Zhao Gao offended the late queen?

What goes on in the palace is nothing more than human relations, there is nothing mysterious about it at all.

So the usher on duty is very nervous.

When he saw the queen coming from afar, he rushed in to report the situation to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the two envoys trembling with fear and thought that even though the queen had been deprived of her power, she was still ignorant.

Instead, these ministers were all worried.

It can be seen that depriving rights is the same whether it is done or not.

The Queen is very clear-headed and rational. She will not act on emotion and sacrifice everything for me just because she gave birth to my child.

Ugh--

"Let the Queen wait a moment."

The emperor let the queen wait alone outside the palace for a quarter of an hour.

Anyone would be angry at this time.

But the queen didn't.

He has always understood the man he married.

From the time they first met to today, the two of them have been together for eight years.

For eight years, the emperor never fell in love with anyone else.

He just loves the country, not the beauty.

The emperor asked me to wait outside the palace, simply to tell myself that I am the emperor's subject, not someone who is equal to the emperor.

She was not surprised at all that the Emperor did not allow her to come in directly.

On the contrary, the eunuchs at the door were very sensitive to people's hearts and nature. They did not show displeasure to the emperor because he did not let the queen in. Instead, they served the queen diligently.

Hold an umbrella for the queen and serve tea to the queen.

He treats the queen more attentively than he serves his own master.

Life is actually a game.

Although most of them are fake, some of them are real.

The emperor puts on a show for the people of the world and outsiders to see.

As people close to the emperor, everyone knew what the emperor was thinking.

It cannot be said that this kind of small action is ridiculous. After all, the affairs of the imperial family are state affairs.

There are never any trivial matters in the imperial family.

The emperor's every move affects his family, country and the world.

The fact that Empress Feng was waiting at the palace gate made the people in Xianyang city go crazy.

This is equivalent to lowering the status of the Feng family.

As for the prince, he couldn't figure out what his father was thinking. But he didn't like the way his father always treated his mother.

Moreover, once the Feng family's status was lowered, the prince felt as if his wings were being pinched by someone and he could not move. Yes, the prince could no longer be arrogant.

From now on, he had to obey his father in everything.

Just as Qin Shihuang once disgusted Fusu, Fusu had to disgust his own son once.

Anyway, everyone will experience some things in life that they don’t want to experience or face.

The Queen stood there for a quarter of an hour.

The little tiger had eaten his fill and fell asleep.

The emperor was in a heavy mood...

Who can understand him?

He asked someone to invite the queen in.

To his surprise, the queen was still looking at him with a smile.

The emperor's eyes suddenly became hot for some reason.

"I shouldn't..." The emperor was speechless for a moment.

The Queen came over and took the Emperor's arm, "Your Majesty, please stop talking."

"Don't let me stand here in vain."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became ambiguous.

The eunuchs were tactful and quickly slipped away.

The queen didn't say anything. The emperor threw himself into the queen's arms like a child, without saying a word, and tears flowed like rain.

He hadn't been loved like this in a long time.

However, the queen did not come here to comfort the emperor who seemed happy on the surface but was very sad in his heart.

On the contrary, he wanted to teach the emperor a lesson.
