My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 866 If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die.

"I will definitely not do this next time."

"I know. I know everything."

Faced with the queen's gentleness and magnanimity, the emperor was no longer willing to doubt the queen's feelings for him.

The sun shone through the window and fell on the queen's snow-white shoulders, and her yellow silk dress set off her beautiful face.

The queen smiled tenderly.

Although a wife is not the same as a mother, when a woman decides to love a man, she will definitely show her maternal side.

In other words, she would treat herself as his mother and devote everything to him.

To be honest, ever since his mother's death, Fusu felt that something was missing behind him, or rather, a piece of his heart had been dug out, and there was always an empty place in his heart.

Fusu truly experienced what it was like to be like a tree without roots and a duckweed without support.

That feeling is so uncomfortable.

It was also because of the loss of his mother that the young Qin Ershi became increasingly uneasy during the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

There is no one in this world who can completely support him, and there is no one who can use their heart and life as a protective shield, tightly clinging to his back.

However, after going through everything, almost for nine years, and the emperor and the empress experiencing many tests of reality, Fusu finally felt again the feeling of someone loving him wholeheartedly.

There is no exploitation, no ambiguity, no misunderstanding.

The emperor and the empress snuggled up to each other, their ears rubbing against each other. The empress's face rested on the emperor's chest, and the emperor kissed the empress's forehead.

They did not take off any of their clothes, and the sleeves on their arms were not pulled up, covering themselves completely.

The two of them just hugged each other tightly, unwilling to separate.

In the face of true love, sex becomes the lowest thing.

The two hugged for a long time...

The sunlight moved from the queen's neck to her cheek.

The emperor and the empress lay on the couch, looking up quietly at the top of the palace.

Above the palace are carved beams and painted buildings, inlaid with gold and jade.

The two of them looked at the beams supported by red crossbeams. The palace was extremely quiet.

The hourglass of time often stops at such times.

Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard in the hall.

The queen couldn't help asking, "What's that sound?"

"Bugs. Bugs that live in wood and feed on rotting wood."

The queen looked over with her almond-shaped eyes, "After we die, will we also rot?"

"That's for sure."

"Then after we rot, will we also be eaten by insects?"

The emperor looked at the beam and said, "When I was a child, I always thought about arranging a grand death for myself. It doesn't have to be the most grand one, but it must be unique. Death is the end of one's life."

"I don't want to be too hasty. But now, I just want to do more things while I'm alive. As for death, just be casual and bury it hastily."

The queen smiled and said, "Me too. When I was little, I thought I would marry a great general. After all, my sisters and aunts in the family all did the same."

"At that time, I thought that after I died, I must be buried with a general. I didn't want to be one of the thousands of unknown women, doing shameful things in obscurity, being indifferent in obscurity, and finally dying in obscurity and lying in a lonely grave in obscurity."

"He lay there for thousands of years. When he was dug out, everything except himself was intact."

The Second asked, "To you, the lives of those noblewomen are meaningless."

Feng Wanwan softly narrates the sorrow of women of an era, oh no, perhaps it is the sorrow of women from generation to generation.

"They don't love their husbands, their children, or themselves. They just repeat the same life every day."

"They fight for their husbands, kill and burn for them, and yet when facing their husbands, they wish they would die sooner."

"But many of them talk about love all the time."

"They spend every day in boring conversation."

"When you are rich and powerful for too long, you will lose your mind about survival."

"After not getting what they want, most people start to indulge themselves and become depraved. Almost every noblewoman has more than a dozen male favorites."

"Sometimes I think, how sad it would be if I became like this in the future."

"So I told myself that I must prove to everyone in the world what a true noblewoman is."

"I want to be a noblewoman and engage in business, or be an official."

In the real history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and even between the Qin and Han Dynasties, women have always been an important source of labor in society.

There have been records of women participating in wars since the Spring and Autumn Period.

Attention, she is a female soldier.

Women were organized into armies to participate in national defense, combat, and training.

The heroic spirit of women in the matriarchal tribes of the Shang Dynasty remained in the Warring States Period.

Even during the Warring States Period, it was recorded in many history books that women joined the army to be responsible for combat readiness and logistics, and to support men in fighting.

There is no record of women serving as officials. However, there were many women who led troops to fight in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Most of them were female nobles.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was a woman who worked as a diplomat and was sent to the distant Western Regions.

This female diplomat has the same surname as the current queen - Feng.

That’s why people say that the Feng family has produced so many talented people.

This aristocratic family has excellent family education and traditions. They are not blindly loyal. They have appeared in every dynasty in history.

Feng Ling was a famous female politician and diplomat in the Western Han Dynasty and also the first female diplomat in Chinese history.

In the fourth year of Taichu, she married Princess Liu Jieyou to the Wusun Kingdom. Because of her talents and wisdom, she became Liu Jieyou's right-hand man.

Later he married General Wusun You.

She made great contributions in assisting Liu Jieyou in strengthening the friendly relations between the Han Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions, and won the respect of the people in the Western Regions, so she was honored as Mrs. Feng.

A tough life needs no explanation, and a tough life will not be bound by the times, identity, or gender.

At the end of the Warring States Period and the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the country moved from a chaotic and divided situation to a unified one.

People's thinking began to change.

With the end of the war, the value of men as war labor dropped sharply, while the value of women as breeding tools for rulers increased, and people began to pay attention to girls.

In the past, men were favored in order to survive; now, women are favored in order to give birth.

The advent of a peaceful era often means the rise of women. This is just a very simple rule.

Before the rise of women, there are often some pioneers who are the first to enjoy the resources given before the tide of the times arrives.

They began to awaken.

As beneficiaries of top-level resources, female aristocrats are the first to have the opportunity to feel this power and begin to reflect on themselves, the meaning of their existence, and the possibility of self-development.

Our Empress Feng, as the essence of aristocratic elite education and family education, awakened quite early.

The queen solemnly recounted her ideals, and the emperor laughed, "In the end, you married me, but your ideals were not achieved."

The emperor pinched the queen's wrist, feeling a little sad. He always felt that his father owed his mother too much, but when he experienced it himself, he realized that he could only give the queen very little.

The emperor has given the queen a lot and helped her a lot, but these things are not what the queen wants.

That's life.

The other party has helped you, but the help is not what you want.

But the Queen looked at the Emperor and said, "No. I have never regretted marrying Your Majesty. In fact, I feel that this is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in my life."

"Why?" The emperor smiled bitterly.

"Because I believe in two things, as does Your Majesty."

"Which two?"

The queen counted on her fingers, "First, some people in the world are not human." "Second, everyone's life is a life. From an innate point of view, there is no distinction between high and low life. Every life is precious."

Fusu smiled, but just lay there with his eyes closed and said nothing.

"Your Majesty..." The Queen suddenly sat up and held the Emperor's hand, "Your Majesty..."

Fusu opened his eyes. The sun was too bright. The emperor saw a head of golden hair swaying in front of him. "What's wrong?"

"I am telling your majesty this because I want to ask your majesty for something."

"what?"

"Your Majesty, when you die, take me with you."

"What?!" The emperor sat up.

He was shocked.

"I mean, I want to be buried with your majesty. Your majesty is going to be buried near the tomb of the First Emperor, and I want to go too."

"Wherever your majesty is buried, there I will be buried."

The queen held the emperor's hand and asked nervously, fearing that the emperor would refuse.

At that moment, a past event inexplicably emerged in the emperor's mind.

A young girl was searching the grass for a rabbit. When she found the little rabbit, she happily held it in her hands and showed it to herself...

The emperor looked at the queen and thought that he loved them both anyway, and they would all die in the end anyway, so he might as well bury them together.

"Yes." The emperor agreed.

The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty and I are married, and we should be buried together after death."

Fusu looked at the queen and thought that his wife was becoming more and more stupid.

It is true that pregnancy makes people stupid for three years.

However, the emperor still noticed that the queen was really gentle today. She was not so easy to talk to on weekdays.

She was a noblewoman who valued whether others respected her. Once someone said something wrong, or the man accidentally teased her, the woman would disrespect her.

She would be very angry.

It was because the Queen herself was a person with great self-respect and self-love, so every time the Emperor interacted with the Queen, he was very formal.

That's just the kind of person she is.

But today, she actually let go of her pride.

This means that the Queen has something to ask of me.

The emperor is full of tricks.

Fusu thought that he couldn't suffer too much.

……

……

……

After finishing the meal, the emperor asked, "How did the queen find the leisure to come to the palace?"

"If there is anything, can't I talk about it in the Queen's Palace?"

"I am here for your majesty."

"Whatever it is, you must come to my palace to talk about it."

Outside the palace, many eunuchs were climbing over the wall to listen to the news.

The two of them made quite a noise and it took an hour for them to finish.

The emperor put on his shoes himself somewhat reluctantly.

Come to think of it, he didn't do anything wrong.

"I heard that Your Majesty dealt with a wealthy businessman."

"He is not an ordinary wealthy businessman. He colluded with court officials and committed illegal acts many times. His subordinates must follow his example and must be removed."

The emperor was a little confused.

Why did the Queen get involved? Is Feng's people related to him? I didn't want to investigate because I knew that if I investigated, I would definitely encounter my relatives, and it would be difficult to take action.

So he needed to cut the Gordian knot and kill an example.

Who would have thought that the queen would catch up with him.

Fusu thought, has this counted as a trap set up by a witch?

"Your Majesty, this is setting a bad precedent. An unprecedented bad precedent."

"Governing a country is like practicing Tai Chi. You hit me, and I hit you back."

"If your majesty hits them too hard, the ministers will stop listening to you and run away."

"Just like your majesty and I. If you do things without knowing your limits, I will be sad."

The queen said softly, "Even if I am sad, I can still turn back. But the relationship between those ministers and Your Majesty is different. Once the ministers are sad, they will be alienated from Your Majesty."

"By then, they will all be gone, and there will be no one available in your majesty's court."

"Your Majesty, if you don't have anyone to use, who else can you rely on to do things and accomplish your great tasks?"

The Second Emperor had a dark face. "It has been done, and the effect is very good. Besides, I am not husband and wife with them. They are the subjects, and I am the king."

"If you want your minister to die, you will have to die."

"I can hit my subjects, but my subjects cannot hit me."

The emperor shouted.

The queen was horrified when she heard this, "Your Majesty just said that if you want me to die, I have to die."

"According to this logic, if the father wants his son to die, the son has to die; if the husband wants his wife to die, the wife has to die."

"Is this what your majesty wants?"

Fusu stopped talking.

Fusu has always wanted to correct Chinese culture and put it back on the right track.

How come we took such a big detour and ended up back at the starting point?

If the ruler wants his subject to die, the subject must die...

"Your Majesty means that you want to be an emperor who can do whatever you want. Your ministers cannot restrain your Majesty. Your Majesty's thoughts alone can determine the fate of thousands of people in the world."

"If your majesty makes the right decision, that would be good."

"But if you make the wrong decision, it will be hard to undo it."

The emperor looked solemn, "But the matter is done. I have already killed the man."

"Then please don't do it again, Your Majesty. Let's end this matter here."

"Is the Queen here to lobby?"

Thinking of the tenderness and affection just now and looking at the queen's current appearance, the emperor felt that he was just a tool in the queen's eyes.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?" The Queen advised earnestly, "Your Majesty should not get close to those villains anymore. Your Majesty should get close to the virtuous."

The Queen reminded the Emperor of his mother again, and seeing the Queen so anxious.

Fusu no longer doubted Feng Wanwan's intentions.

The emperor was amazed how the queen knew so many things.

"There is no airtight wall in the world."

"I have no intention of interfering in state affairs, but these things have reached my ears. If I don't do anything, I will be sorry to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, you must weigh the pros and cons of the country and the pleasure of the moment."

"I understand."
