The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 722: The Secret Game
Fusu replied obediently: "Mother, today the emperor gave me and my brothers a copy of the Emperor's Model, asking us to study hard."

"In addition, just as mother said, father asked me and my brothers to move out of the palace and attend court affairs. Father arranged for me to work in the Ministry of Personnel." When Fusu said this, he felt a little excited, with excitement and joy flashing in his eyes.

When Mi Yun heard this, he was even more delighted. He asked about what happened today and his face became even happier.

She clapped her hands gently, her movements graceful, and said with great joy, "I knew that your father still values ​​you the most."

Mi Yun's face suddenly turned serious, and he said in a stern voice, "You are your father's eldest son. Your father had been on the throne for six years before you were born. On the day you were born, your father issued a general amnesty for you! The whole Qin Dynasty was celebrating for you!"

"Only you! Only you! You are your father's eldest son!"

Mi Yun stood up and paced back and forth in the room. Everything that happened that year was still vivid in his mind.

"If not, if not for that year, alas--" When she said this, Mi Yun bit her lower lip tightly, feeling her teeth itching, and there seemed to be an indescribable emotion surging in her heart, as if something was choking her throat, and her heart was sobbing.

She stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

Mi Yun changed the subject and said earnestly: "But no matter what, you are your father's eldest son, the most respected eldest son!" She walked in front of Fusu and stared at him closely, as if she wanted to engrave these words into his heart.

"Now that Great Qin has lost its prime minister, apart from the cabinet ministers, the Ministry of Personnel is the most important in the court, in charge of all official affairs."

"Especially the Minister of Personnel is Hai Zhongcang. He is the Grand Tutor, your father's teacher, and an important official in your father's palace, the most trusted of the trusted."

"He has a special status, and he arranged you to the Ministry of Personnel. Your father really has unlimited expectations for you."

"The signal you're sending is extraordinary. The Grand Tutor has served in the court of the Qin Dynasty for more than 30 years and as prime minister for more than 20 years. He is a great sage of the Legalists. You must make him recognize you!"

"If the Grand Tutor recognizes you, you are already half a prince."

"If your father didn't value you, he would never let you go to the Ministry of Personnel."

Mi Yun stared straight into Fusu's eyes, her gaze full of expectation and concern, and she gave him instructions, her voice becoming more and more urgent:

"Fusu, don't let your father down. You are his father's favorite eldest son. You are the eldest son of the Great Qin Shi Huangdi, and the first son your father had after giving birth to five princesses!"

"Your father is a great and holy monarch unprecedented in history. He is the emperor! The first emperor! Your father's great achievements are unmatched! Everywhere the sun shines is your father's territory! All the billions of people in the world are your father's people!"

Mi Yun lowered his voice suddenly when he got to this point, leaned forward and stared at Fusu, and said seriously and hastily with endless hope: "Fusu, the kingdom your father built should be inherited by you! You! Should be the second emperor!"

Fusu pursed his lips, which were the same thin as Ying Zheng's, with a serious face and wide eyes. He felt his heart surging. He knelt down in front of Mi Yun, bowed heavily, and made another promise.

"Mother, I understand. I will never let Father down, nor Mother down. I will share Father's worries and assist him well!"

Mi Yun smiled with relief, nodded, lowered her head and wiped her eyes. The child had finally grown up.

"Get up, get up."

Mi Yun smiled lovingly and said, "Fusu, you will also have to leave the palace. You will need more money to do things. It will be too difficult to do things with your salary. When you leave the palace and pack up your mansion, mother will give you five thousand gold coins. You can use it first."

"When you want people to do things, you can't save money. You have to make good use of it and never be stingy. We are not short of wealth." Mi Yun waved her hand casually. She was really rich.

Money? What money? I have never had the concept of money in my life.

Mi Yun thought for a moment and continued, "Also, to make friends, there are wise men and great men. Some of them require flattery, and money alone is not enough. However, my mother's treasure house is quite complete. If you need anything, you can go to my mother's treasure house to get it at any time."

Fusu stood up and nodded heavily: "Mother, I understand."

Mi Yun nodded and praised with a smile: "Mother knows that you know everything. You are exactly like your father. You are destined to be a holy monarch."

At this point, Mi Yun sighed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Before you leave the palace, go to the palace to pay your respects to that person and let him know. Etiquette cannot be abandoned. Be careful and don't leave any handles."

Fusu wanted to say something, but he moved his lips and didn't say much. He knew that his mother would never get over this hurdle in her life, so he decided not to mention it.

"Mother, I will always remember your teachings." Fusu said respectfully.

Mi Yun nodded happily: "There's no rush. Once you go out, it won't be that convenient for you to accompany your mother. Today, your mother will cook for you personally. You can have dinner with your mother. We can talk about other things after dinner."

When Mi Yun said this, her eyes were full of reluctance and love. Only then did Fusu relax a little and nodded repeatedly with a smile.

At the same time, in Ying Xin's palace, the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing. The light shone through the gauze curtains, becoming hazy and dim.

Ying Xin sat on the phoenix chair with a solemn expression, and learned from Zi Du everything that happened today.

When she heard half of it, her heart sank, her eyes instantly turned red, and she almost cried.

Ying Xin forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

Looking at Zi Du, his eldest son had an extremely handsome face, but why couldn't he inherit his father's talents?

It’s not that the child doesn’t know how to work hard, but he just doesn’t have the talent, so no matter how hard he tries, the results are average.

His father had a photographic memory and was able to draw inferences from one instance. But when it came to Zidu, it was difficult for him to understand anything.

The second son, Daguan, is also very smart. Why is the eldest son so dull and stupid? Ying Xin was almost desperate. Did she really have to rely on the second son, Daguan? But Daguan was only twelve years old. If he was slow in one step, he would be slow in every step!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Zi Du is your eldest son after all. How could you, how could you let that vixen's child go to the Ministry of Personnel.

No matter how good Fusu is, it won’t work.

But Ying Xin did not blame Zi Du. She sighed softly, her eyes full of love and pity.

It’s not my son’s fault that he is not smart. It’s my own fault that I am not smart enough. As a result, my child has inherited my shortcomings and failed to inherit your Majesty’s talents.

Ying Xin said in a low voice, trying to comfort Zi Du: "Zi Du, you must listen to your father's teachings, study hard to handle government affairs, and share your father's worries."

Zi Du sighed softly in his heart, but his face remained expressionless. He nodded happily as usual: "Yes, mother, I understand." His smile was gentle and honest, without any flaws to be found, and he seemed unaware of his mother's depressed mood.

As the saying goes: A noble man speaks slowly.

Before a word is spoken, the person is the master of the words, but after it is spoken, the words become the master of the person.

Zi Du is taciturn, but his taciturnity is fake, while his taciturnity is real because he never says useless words.

My mother is straightforward, generous and loving. She can't lie to people for long.

In this case, I have no choice but to inconvenience my mother.

Cheated her too!

From a very young age, Zi Du knew what kind of family he lived in.

His father was a great sage king who was constantly taking over the world. He was the most powerful, capable, and toughest person in the world! He was like a god!
Unfortunately, his father had too many women and children, and his own brothers not only had too many of them, but they were also too outstanding.

Especially after his mother became queen, he became the target of public criticism.

It would be too dangerous to show off at this time.

My father is still so young and the future is still so far away. This is not the time to stand out.

For so many years, I have been pretending to be ordinary. I studied hard but my grades were still average. I was just a fool. After more than ten years, everyone believed it.

Only, in front of his father, his eyes always seemed to have deep meaning.

Zi Du was not deceiving himself. He was very sure that his disguise had fooled even his mother, but not his father.

He is worthy of being a father. Nothing can be hidden from him.

But Ying Zheng said nothing and pretended to be kept in the dark.

This made Zi Du feel a little disappointed. His father's attitude was too obvious. His father didn't mind his sons fighting.
There is a saying that many people have said that is correct, that is, the Qin Dynasty will not be handed over to an incompetent person.

Then there is no need to rush!

My father became the First Emperor, and he was still so young, so young that it was scary.

My father’s cultivation is unfathomable and omnipotent. I am afraid that even if his children are gone, he is still young.

This is even more urgent. What if my father misunderstands me?
When you have too many things, you won’t feel sad even if some of them are damaged.

The same is true for children.

So, just do what you should do, handle things impartially, and don't make any mistakes.

However, one must also show one's attitude. One can pretend to be a stubborn stone, but one cannot pretend to be a rotten wood. One must strike the right balance in between, and one must not go against the emperor's strategy for governing the country, mixing the ways of the king with those of the hegemon.

As for the rest, let your brothers fight it out and don’t interfere!

My eldest brother was valued by my father and was assigned the best position in the Ministry of Personnel, but this also meant that he was pushed to the forefront of the storm.

A blessing in disguise.

Zi Du looked at his mother's depressed mood and felt helpless.

I don’t know how much my mother worries about me, but I really can’t tell her!

The mother cannot act for long. Once exposed, both mother and child will be thrust into the spotlight and targeted by everyone.

It’s not like now, even though I’m the legitimate son, no one takes me as an opponent.

It is easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark.

But who says there can't be a hidden arrow under the gun?
It must be both a hidden arrow and an open gun.

It's a blunt gun in public, but a sharp arrow in secret!
