Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 528: Father and Son [Ying Zheng]

Ying Zheng had thought about it countless times, what his regrets were, and which era he would go to during this tour in another timeline, but he never expected that the timeline he arrived at would be this node.

The vast grassland was rippling with waves, and the sound of countless green grasses echoed in his nose.

At this moment, Ying Zheng seemed to see everything outside the frontier.

He wanted to take a closer look at the scenery in the distance, but at this moment there was a more urgent matter waiting for him - the damned rebellious son in the distance was about to commit suicide by placing the sword across his neck.

After sighing deeply in his heart, Ying Zheng had no time to receive the memories in his mind, nor did he have time to think about anything. He could only hurried forward and walked quickly to the side of the tearful young man.

"What do you want, sir?"

His behavior made everyone present feel confused. Everyone looked at the soldier who suddenly took action in surprise. He was just an ordinary soldier. Could he really stop Fusu?

The eunuch who came to announce the decree sneered: "Who do you think you are? You have no right to speak here!"

After saying that, he said directly: "Come here, pull this man down for me!"

Meng Tian stood aside, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just stood there in silence.

Fusu has already given up, what else can he do?

Even if this soldier was rescued, the final outcome would not change at all.

Ying Zheng simply sneered. He looked at the eunuch who dared to speak to him like that. A sharp look flashed across his eyes. He had an impression of this eunuch. He used to follow Zhao Gao and was as humble as a dog in front of him. Now he dared to speak to him and his son like that?
It’s just a desperate matter!

He just said in a deep voice: "Who dares?"

The powerful aura shocked everyone, and at this time, Ying Zheng looked at the stunned Fusu and said, "Master Fusu, the imperial edict this person passed on is fake - the real imperial edict was given to me by His Majesty before you set out."

Ying Zheng said with a straight face: "If you don't believe me, you can verify it. When His Majesty gave me the imperial edict and this task, he said a lot to me. Many of these words are things that only you and His Majesty know. The purpose is to prevent what happened today from happening!"

Fusu came back to his senses after listening to Ying Zheng's words, with a look of shock, surprise, and even a hint of surprise on his face.

He was not afraid of death. The tears he just shed were only because he was unable to gain the recognition of his father.

Fusu was skeptical at this time, but he put down the sword in his hand, glanced at Meng Tian, ​​and then regained his senses: "General Meng, control the situation for the time being, don't let any accidents happen here!"

As he spoke, he humbly bowed to the eunuch who seemed to represent Ying Zheng and said, "If you are sincere, Fusu will naturally come back and act according to the imperial decree, but..."

A sharp and angry light flashed across Fusu's eyes: "But if you are fake, then don't blame Fusu for being rude!"

These words were spoken sharply and fiercely, and the murderous aura in them made people feel that these were not words that Fusu could say!
After all, for Fusu, his bottom line is his father!

Just a typical dad-control freak.

Inside the big tent

After finishing the account check, Fusu was trembling all over. He looked at Ying Zheng with a respectful look on his face: "I wonder what instructions my father left for me?"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu, who was extremely excited just by recalling the old times with "Ying Zheng", and sighed slowly in his heart. Just how bad was the relationship between Ying Zheng and Fusu in this world?

But no matter what, Ying Zheng felt that his most important task now was to save this crisis.

So, he sorted out his thoughts a little and said, "Your Highness, before His Majesty came to the border, he gave me an oral instruction, saying that if he died of illness one day, then you should bring the 300,000 troops from the border back to Xianyang as quickly as possible and ascend the throne to be emperor."

Ying Zheng frowned and pretended not to understand, saying, "Your Majesty seemed to have anticipated something at that time. After saying these words, he told me that if there was a false imperial edict one day, such as one that asked you to commit suicide or to establish someone else as emperor, he would let me tell you what happened today and say that there must be a conspiracy."

"Your Majesty looked very tired and even a little helpless, as if something out of his control had happened."

He looked at Fusu's increasingly silent expression, and finally said, "When the eunuch came to deliver the decree today, I felt something was wrong. His Majesty clearly made you the Second Emperor, and he also specifically told me those things. How could he let the eunuch come to deliver the decree?"

"Moreover, even if His Majesty really changed his mind, it should be someone from the Black Ice Terrace who came. How could it be an eunuch who came?"

"There are many things wrong with this, but the situation was urgent at the time, and I could only stop Your Highness first and make plans later."

At this time Fusu slowly raised his head, his face and eyes were filled with anger.

A conspiracy involving his father instantly spread in his mind. His father had already predicted what happened today? Does that mean that his father's death was also an accident? Was there a conspiracy? Was his father murdered?
When he thought of this possibility, Fusu, who was originally a little timid and overly kind, instantly turned into a "Tyrannosaurus Rex". This was his reverse scale and no one could touch it!

"rub--"

He immediately stood up, his face gloomy: "Is it really so?"

"Send the message to Meng Tian!"

The soldiers outside the tent heard the voice and immediately responded, "Yes!"

A moment later, Meng Tian walked into the tent with a confused look on his face. He obviously didn't understand why Fusu called him here at this time. When Fusu saw Meng Tian, ​​he told him everything that "Ying Zheng" had just said, and then said directly: "Now it is unknown whether father is alive or dead, and he may even be the victim of a huge conspiracy."

"I must return to Xianyang City as soon as possible."

"If my father really wants me to die, then I will kill myself immediately, but..."

His eyes were spitting fire, like a tyrannosaurus that had lost its mind: "But if my father's death was caused by someone else, I must avenge him and cut those people into pieces!"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu's angry expression and smacked his lips.

When Fusu was talking with Meng Tian just now, he had sorted out his memories about this world and knew that there was no Chen family in this world, and that Fusu's character was corrupted by that group of Confucian disciples - to be more precise, he was corrupted by the Confucian scholars of Lu.

Become cowardly and a "good guy".

But it cannot be said that Fusu at this time has nothing to do with being a good person. It can only be said that he has nothing to do with the three words "good person".

How do you say that?

Don’t make a good person angry. When a good person gets angry, it is more terrifying than when an evil person gets angry!
At this moment, not only Ying Zheng felt this, but even Meng Tian felt it. He watched helplessly as the elegant gentleman of the past turned into a violent Tyrannosaurus Rex - he rushed out with a sword in his hand!
Before Meng Tian could react, he heard screams coming from outside. They were from the eunuchs delivering the imperial edict.

When Ying Zheng and Meng Tian walked out of the tent, they saw a huge human head rolling to the ground. Fusu, in a rage, chopped off the eunuch's head with a sword. At this time, Fusu's aura had not dissipated yet, and he even began to order the troops to be dispatched.

The wind on the grassland did not stop, and everything continued.

Xianyang City

The Second Emperor and Hu Hai, who were waiting for good news, received bad news - Fusu not only did not commit suicide, but even led 300,000 troops south! Fusu's slogan was also very simple, the emperor's death was suspicious!

Are these four words very lethal?

It's simply too big.

At this time, rumors began to fly in Xianyang City, and some court officials had even begun to doubt the authenticity of the imperial edict.

After all, everyone knows Fusu's character. How could the eldest son who listened to his father, who was a little dull and even cowardly, burst into such anger and led his troops back to Xianyang? If he didn't have solid evidence, how could he do such a thing?
If two people say something different, it may not necessarily mean that one of them is lying.

But if two people say completely opposite or even contradictory things, then one of them must be lying.

So a question lingers on the head of everyone in Xianyang City.

Who is the liar?

Was it Fusu? Or Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, or Li Si?
It has to be said that the role of a good reputation is revealed at this time.

Most people tend to believe Fusu because he has such a good reputation! So good that everyone thinks Fusu would not do such a thing without evidence.

Even the defenders of Xianyang City began to doubt this matter.

This also led to another event - when Fusu's army arrived at the city wall of Xianyang City, the defenders of Xianyang City directly opened the city gate and welcomed Fusu in.

Xianyang Palace
Fusu's body could hardly stand. After listening to the ministers' explanation of the matter, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

As expected—something really happened to my father!

He gritted his teeth and forced himself to be strong. At this time, his father had passed away, but the huge empire left by his father had not collapsed. He would definitely fulfill his father's wish!
He wants the Qin Dynasty to prosper forever!
But before that, he had to do one more thing first.

Find out the murderer who killed his father, and then bury his father peacefully.

Fusu suppressed his inner grief and anger, and began to carefully ask the ministers about every detail before and after his father's death.

The ministers talked one after another, and people from the Black Ice Platform also appeared and gradually pieced together the hidden truth.

The more Fusu listened, the angrier he became.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

He thought of how he had been sent to the frontier, far away from the court. Although he felt aggrieved, he never complained. He only wanted to guard the frontier for his father and contribute his strength to the stability of the Qin Dynasty.

However, he never expected that his sincere heart would be exploited by these treacherous ministers and his father would also fall into their hands.

"Zhao Gao! Li Si! Hu Hai!"

Fusu gritted his teeth and repeated the names of these three people. The anger in his heart could no longer be tolerated. At this time, Zhao Gao and others standing in the main hall of Zhangtai Palace were also staggering. Everyone was bearing Fusu's anger.

The only person who should have been angry was Ying Zheng. Not only was he not angry, he just stood aside calmly, listening to what happened to the First Emperor in this world line.

Use abalone to cover up the stench of his corpse?
Is the purpose just to inherit the throne and kill Fusu?
Ying Zheng smiled inwardly, feeling a little disdainful, and a little sad for himself in this world, but all this was going to end, wasn't it?
In the first year of Emperor Ershi's reign, the world should have been in chaos.

But at this time, the eldest prince Fusu stepped forward and led an army of 300,000 to suppress the conspiracy of Hu Hai, Li Si, Zhao Gao and others, and then opened an era of rule known as the "Golden Age".

The second generation of emperors should have defended the city and Renhe.

Fusu's characteristics also meet all of these requirements, but he was originally more like a puppet emperor who was brainwashed by Confucianism. But at this moment, he did not become a puppet because of the existence of another person.

Ying Zheng.

In other words, in this world, he is called "Chen Zheng".

Yes.

Ying Zheng had a bad taste and changed his name to "Chen Zheng" to commemorate the huge and great family that did not exist in this world.

The fifteenth year of Emperor II.

Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng was lying on the sickbed, looking pale and weak, while Fusu was standing in front of him with a look of humility and respect on his face.

"No need to be sad."

Ying Zheng was quite satisfied with everything that happened on this timeline. After all, he changed everything on this timeline, and even raised the national strength of the Qin Dynasty to its peak level. He also made Fusu his teacher.

He even accomplished all this without revealing his identity - it's just a pity that Fusu still hasn't changed his bad habits and still does whatever he says.

It’s just like listening to Chunyu Yue’s words back then!
Ying Zheng said with a tone of regret: "Remember this, after I leave, you must not listen to others like this anymore! Have you remembered all the methods of ruling an emperor that I taught you?"

Fusu nodded sadly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

After seeing this scene, Ying Zheng was completely relieved, and then slowly closed his eyes.

At this time, Fusu whispered softly in front of Ying Zheng, who closed his eyes, "Father."
