My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Qin II gave Meng Yi the best place, hoping that he could accomplish great things and bring honor to both the emperor and him.

As a result, Meng Yi taught Qin II a lesson.

Trust and loyalty are useless if they cannot be monetized.

If my trust in Meng Yi cannot enable him to do his job well, then what is the point of this trust?

If Meng Yi's loyalty to him was only to let him do what he wanted to do, then what use would he be to the empire?

After all, the emperor is the emperor of all people in the world, not just Meng Yi alone.

Considering the overall situation, Qin II sent Chen Ping to complete this task.

This was a great opportunity for Chen Ping.

As I said, for the emperor, there are two kinds of subjects.

One is that I will only consider giving you a promotion if you do it well in advance.

The other is that I can only give you a promotion if you get the job done.

Meng Yi belongs to the latter because he is simple-minded and easy to use by the emperor.

Chen Ping belongs to the latter. When Chen Ping stands behind Fusu, the emperor will feel uneasy. He will worry that this brat has seen some of his weaknesses again.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the emperor thought of Chen Ping and always wondered if this guy had seen through him.

The emperor gave Chen Ping such an opportunity because he saw his many years of hard work.

Chen Ping was able to survive these eight or nine years of trials and tribulations. This shows that he is extraordinary.

As the saying goes, there is no time to lose. When Chen Ping got such a great opportunity, he naturally hurriedly took the imperial edict and went to do the work.

Among the ministers around Qin II, Chen Ping was the most diligent, but he was also the one who was envied, slandered and ridiculed for the longest time.

Every day there was a slanderous word about him, and every month there was a scandalous anecdote about him.

It mainly talks about the obscene things between Chen Ping and some wealthy ladies.

People have no interest in family, country and morality, but they like these scraps very much.

The more exciting the story is, the better; the more vulgar the better.

Nowadays, fortune tellers often make a living by making up stories and telling stories by clapping their hands on clappers on street corners.

The characters that everyone likes to hear about the most are Qin Shi Huang, Qin Er Shi, Lu Zhi, Chen Ping, and Meng Tian.

Their names are the buzzwords of this era.

There is no household that does not know these people.

As a result, these people are unlucky. Some people, in order to make a living, tell jokes and stories whenever they open their mouths.

Chen Ping knew that his reputation was not very good, but in the end, his original intention was good. However, in the mouths of these people, he became a complete rotten person.

When Chen Ping left Xianyang, it was like someone picked up a huge rock and threw it into a calm lake.

The huge rock fell into the lake, causing huge waves several meters high and alarming countless people of all ages in Xianyang City.

Especially women.

No matter which era it is, it is an era that values ​​appearance.

Women are more lustful than men, and Chen Ping is so handsome that young girls no longer want to get married after seeing him.

As soon as he left, the women in Xianyang, from young to old, began to worry about him.

This is not an exaggeration.

The storyteller was originally worrying about what stories to tell everyone during the peaceful days.

Hearing that Chen Ping had left Xianyang at this time was a shocking piece of news.

"This Chen Ping was originally the Emperor's bedmate. Over the years, he has stolen the Empress's favor. The Empress was jealous, and for the sake of peace in the harem, she teamed up with her family to expel him from the palace..."

"Oh——" the crowd burst into exclamation.

"Speaking of which, the queen was originally a good person. Unfortunately, the former queen mother was frail and sickly, and there was no one to take care of the harem, so it was handed over to her..."

At this time, a little boy in luxurious clothes passed by the street corner. After hearing these stories, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Soon, a tragic and beautiful young man appeared in Xianyang City.

He was sitting on a cart at the market, surrounded by a group of women, both old and young.

The little boy was very handsome and had a gold necklace around his neck.

The women gathered around him and listened to his stories.

The little boy didn't want money, he just wanted some food and drink.

In front of him was a basket filled with a roasted chicken, in his left hand he held a ripe pear, and in his right hand he held a piece of sugarcane.

The children seemed to have never eaten these foods before. They ate with relish and their eyes were shining.

After all, the fruits he had eaten before were grapes, lychees, and the like, which were tributes from distant places.

Those ordinary things are generally not acceptable to him and are beneath his status.

The women's hearts were broken as they listened to the children's stories.

"My father is busy with his work and never listens to me. He always has a sour face when he sees me."

"He has too many beautiful women and rarely visits his mother."

"My father was not well-received in the past, but it was only after he married my mother that he was able to rise to prominence in the future."

"But after marrying my mother, my father changed his mind."

"My father didn't give my mother food to eat and locked her up at home."

"I ask my mother to give him a little daughter all day long."

As the women listened, tears streamed down their cheeks, as if two silver threads were hanging on them.

Everyone was weeping. Even a blind old man passing by couldn't help crying when he heard the sobbing sounds.

When the children saw these beautiful older sisters dropping their little pearls, they just felt that they also had the talent to be novelists.

He spoke more and more excitedly.

"My father is very strict."

"One of his feet was injured and he was a cripple. He was afraid that people would see that he was a cripple, so he stayed in the same place every day and didn't go out."

"Even when he went out, he would sit in the car all the way and cover himself up tightly to prevent anyone from seeing him."

"He often bullies me and always looks unhappy when he sees me."

"He often held my hand and told me after the guests left his home that those people were not trustworthy."

"It only counts if I say it myself."

"But my father accepts gifts from those people every year, and they are very expensive gifts."

The women were indignant and said, “This is too much!”

"Are there still such people in this world?"

"How rude. How can you say one thing in public and another behind your back? Isn't this teaching children bad habits?"

The child listened and became even more excited.

"My mother didn't treat me well. She didn't cook for me every day and made me eat at my teacher's house."

"My mother is such a confused person. No matter how my father treats him, she always thinks about him."

The women started to curse, "There are actually such foolish women. She doesn't care about her son and only thinks about her husband. What kind of person is she?"

The child said this and started to cry.

"Yes, my father is the only one in the world who treats me well."

"But unfortunately, my grandfather is dying."

"I'm really worried that my grandfather will die."

The women couldn't help but cry even harder, as they thought of their grandparents.

"My grandfather gave me a horse to ride on, and he even bought me a horse to teach me how to ride."

"It's a pity that my father is so mean and won't let me learn to ride a horse."

The women listened but did not agree. "You are too young to ride a horse. Riding a horse is very dangerous. Only nobles can learn it. You need a master to protect you." "You kid... why are you talking so incoherently?"

"Yeah, didn't you say your parents don't care about you?"

The child blushed, picked up the food in the basket, and ran towards the palace.

He ran a long way.

There is martial law around the palace, and no one dares to pass by normally.

When he was approaching a side door at the back of the palace, a group of guards saw him and their eyes widened so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets.

"Prince——"

"Stop talking, open the door and let me in."

It was the first time for Prince Yao to go out on the street to tell stories and beg, and he found that this way of making a living was very good.

He has grown up and doesn't want to be at the mercy of his parents anymore. He wants to learn a skill and leave the palace to be independent.

When he got home, he took out the spoils he had earned that day and shared them with his little brother who was still in the cradle.

On the way, I met Gongzi Ning, who excitedly introduced his experiences outside the palace.

Ning, as his name suggests, is a very well-behaved and handsome man.

Well-behaved and gentle like jade.

Although he is about the same age as Gongzi Yao, he is already very sensible.

"What did you say? Did you earn all this food at the market?"

"How did you earn it?"

"Do you have any money-making skills?"

Yao said proudly, "Of course."

At first, Gongzi Ning's eyes were full of admiration for Yao, but gradually, he found that something was wrong.

"How did you get out? I want to go out of the palace to play, but no matter how much I beg my mother, she won't allow it. She said that people outside are the same as those in the palace, there is no difference."

"It's true that they are the same, but they are fresher than the people in the palace."

Gong Zining's eyes sparkled, "Then how did you get out? Teach me, I want to go out and play too."

"I have a badge. If anyone dares to stop me, I will chop him down."

Gong Zining frowned, "This is not good. Mother said that even though we are powerful, we must not kill people at will. This is not good for us."

"Karma will always exist."

Yao shook his head. "That's all what the old-fashioned teachers said. You have to learn how to apply what you have learned. Look, I am much happier when I go out of the palace to play for a day than when I stay in the palace facing those old men."

Gongzi Ning was full of envy.

The two brothers talked for a long time in the attic, and Ning ate the food Yao gave him, "I don't think it's any different from the ones in the palace."

Yao got anxious and said, "Different? How can it be different? You are eating the fruit earned with my hard-earned money. If you don't want to eat it, just give it back to me."

Seeing his brother so angry, Ning reluctantly lied and said, "Although this pear looks ordinary, it is juicy and sweet."

“Although this chicken is too greasy, the meat is tender.”

"Although you are lazy and gluttonous on weekdays, you are ambitious."

When Gongzi Yao heard this, his face immediately drooped.

"Don't always rely on your father's favor to do whatever you want. If you don't like it, give it back to me."

Over the years, Yao and Ning have grown up. Although they still maintain their childhood friendship, as their personalities grow, the quarrels between them become more and more frequent.

After hearing these words, Gong Zi Ning couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Ning turned to leave, but Yao held him back and said, "Don't tell my father and mother everything about me. This is known only to heaven and earth, and only to you and me."

Gong Zining smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely promise you. I won't tell anyone about this."

"But are you sure I'm the only one who knows about this? You're the prince..."

"No, they don't dare to say it. Only you dare."

Gongzi Ning smiled and said, "That's right, we are all the children of our father."

Yao looked at his elder brother. In fact, many people around him were spreading rumors and saying bad things about his elder brother, but Yao was unwilling to believe them.

Now that he saw that Ning was willing to keep the secret for him, he was naturally more willing to trust Ning.

But unfortunately, the next day, Prince Yao was brought before the emperor.

It turned out that someone had already spotted Prince Yao on the street, but they didn't dare to make it public for fear of causing trouble.

Only after he had followed Prince Yao and confirmed this incredible thing did he report it to the emperor.

When the emperor found out, he was naturally furious.

"What nonsense are you telling the public? Who is dead, who is lame? Do you hate me?"

In fact, Fusu didn't understand. He had been good enough to Yao, giving him the best configuration and the greatest freedom, but why was he always unsatisfied.

He actually told such a lie to others.

If you say that he is young and just likes to have fun, then he shouldn't be like this.

How can he say that I am a cripple?

Just ridiculous.

"From today on, you will study in Tianlu Pavilion every day, and you can't come out until the three-month confinement is over."

"Replace all the eunuchs and ministers around you."

"You are so brave that so many people can't keep an eye on you."

Yao's face was dark, and his eyes were filled with anger towards his father.

"Even if you replace them with new people, they won't be able to control me. I am the crown prince. When I become the emperor in the future, I will chop off their heads."

"What did you say?!" Qin II stood up excitedly, he was happy and angry...

"Put it down."

In the end, Qin II did not change the eunuchs. After all, he had been a crown prince and knew what it felt like.

Those who are servants in the eyes of others are the best friends in his eyes.

This incident caused a big stir and the queen even showed up in person.

Yao was released after being detained for ten days.

However, what seems like a small matter to adults may be a huge matter to children.

In Prince Yao's eyes, as far as he knows, the reason why such a thing happened was because of Master Ning.

The friendship between the two was overturned.

No matter how Ning explained, Yao just wouldn't listen.

When the boy grows up, he will go and slay a dragon.

On the other hand, Zulong, who heard this anecdote in the Lishan Palace, frowned.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"He said I was going to die?"

"What a bastard! I've loved him so much for nothing."

"This brat."

Qin Shi Huang said this, and then he started coughing violently.

He has caught a cold these days and has a high fever.

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, he saw a good head with alternating black and white hair, and his face was covered with wrinkles of time.

"I'm actually old..."

"Even though you are a dragon, you will get old one day." (End of this chapter)
