Chapter 73 The Current Situation of the Prince of Qin in the Heart of the First Emperor

Understood!
I understand it completely!

It was only then that Zhang Han realized that the First Emperor had such a long-term vision and insight.

But...isn't this a kind of sadness?

"Your Majesty, you are now at the prime of your life. You can slowly train the two young masters!"

In the end, Zhang Han couldn't help himself and interrupted something he shouldn't have said.

But he really couldn't bear it!
It is hard to bear to see this ambitious and resourceful Emperor Qin Shi Huang, who was clearly at the prime of his life, having to place all his hopes on the next generation.

But unfortunately, the next generation is not particularly reliable.

Listening to Zhang Han's persuasion, the First Emperor, who had long since returned to his previous calm and composed appearance, shook his head slightly.

"you are wrong!"

"I am not in my prime, but rather in my twilight years!"

"I can feel my own body. I may not be able to hold on for many more years!"

poof...

Zhang Han knelt down immediately.

The cold sweat that had been dissipating a little broke out again like rain.

"Oh my god, I'm dying, I heard something I shouldn't have heard!"

At this time, Zhang Han truly felt that coming to Zhangtai Palace today was a typical act of seeking death.

Why come at any other time? Why do you have to come at this time?

Besides, I am just an extremely stupid pig!
Now that I have finished the information, why are you staying here if you don't leave quickly?

Now, damn it, I’m afraid I’ll even lose my life.

Faced with Zhang Han's nervous look, the First Emperor didn't take it to heart at all.

"Get up!"

"As someone close to me and someone I trust, you will discover some things sooner or later even if I don't tell you."

"Instead of doing this, it's better for you to be prepared in advance!"

After these words were spoken, Zhang Han felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt confused.

Does this mean that I should find a new master?
But now it seems that the Sixth Prince Ying Yuan is in the limelight as the regent, but in fact it is Prince Fusu's reputation that is spread everywhere outside.

Moreover, our Majesty the First Emperor himself has just said that the two princes are actually under observation.

However, Zhang Han at least knew that his life was saved for the time being.

"My god, what's going on today?"

"If you keep getting so startled, I'm afraid I'll pee my pants right here!"

'It's so fucking scary!'

No wonder Zhang Han was muttering in his heart.

The truth is that nothing the First Emperor said in this sudden "revelation of his true feelings" was simple.

The First Emperor suddenly stood up and slowly walked to the door of the hall.

Looking out from the gate of Zhangtai Palace, the first thing that comes into view is the most eye-catching city of Xianyang.

Wrapped in towering city walls, the straight and horizontal streets divide the entire city into small grids.

From a distance, the pedestrians walking on the street look like little kids.

The First Emperor just stared at it blankly for a long time before he exhaled and spoke.

"I have continued the legacy of six generations and finally established the Qin Empire, becoming the first emperor since the beginning of time."

"I called myself the First Emperor a few years ago because I thought that my descendants would inherit the Qin Dynasty and become the second, third, and even ten thousand generations in the future."

"Now that I think about it, this is just my wishful thinking."

The First Emperor stood there as tall and straight as a pine tree, like an indifferent and sacred god.

But the words that came out of his mouth finally had a hint of "humanity"!
This made Zhang Han realize that in fact, His Majesty also had his own annoyance and resentment.

It took a lot of effort to create such a situation, but in the end I couldn't even find a suitable successor.

Isn't this a kind of heart-wrenching unwillingness?
However, even if Zhang Han understood it in his heart, he would not say it.

By this time, he actually understood.

Your Majesty, what you need is not for you to understand and sympathize with him more.

As great as His Majesty the First Emperor is, he does not need such so-called pity and understanding.

He was just under pressure and wanted to find someone to talk to about his thoughts.

I just happened to meet him.

If it wasn't me, it would be someone else.

But...it's hard to say whether that person can survive.

"Yuan'er said it very well: Come from the people and go back to the people!"

"My Great Qin relied on millions of old Qin people to fight their way through all the difficulties!"

"But now, I can't just focus on the old Qin people, because the survivors of the six kingdoms are now my people!"

"But... I don't know how to move forward!"

There was a rare hint of confusion in the words of the First Emperor.

"I originally thought that I could educate Fusu, this honest child, while I was learning."

"In this way, the people of the Qin Dynasty will be able to rest and recuperate, and the next generation of the Qin Dynasty ruler will be able to be lenient and benevolent!"

"But after all these years, I found out that I was wrong!"

The First Emperor changed the subject, and the coldness and murderousness in his tone almost overwhelmed him, and even his words sounded like he was speaking with gritted teeth.

"I have discovered that talented people do not need to be taught. This is true for me, and it is also true for the seemingly lazy Yuan'er."

"But my beloved eldest son Fusu was completely corrupted by the Confucian scholar whom I arranged for him without checking!"

"But I don't have to worry now!"

"Although Yuan'er has not yet grown to the point where I can be completely assured, at least I have seen many things that satisfy me."

The First Emperor flicked his sleeves lightly, looked at the busy streets of Xianyang with some pride, and said loudly.

"Zhang Han, be more careful with Yuan'er!"

"Not only should we report any incidents promptly, but we should also do our utmost to protect him!"

"He is not only my hope, but also the hope of Daqin and the people of Daqin!"

"Here!"

Zhang Han accepted the order without hesitation.

But after he stood up straight, he hesitated for a moment and asked the question he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Your Majesty, then...where is Prince Fusu?"

The First Emperor fell into silence again, and after a long time he answered in a low voice.

"At this moment, in my opinion, the two brothers are almost on par with each other, with Yuan'er being slightly better."

"But my concern for them is the same!"

"But, there is not much chance and time left for Fusu!"

Having said that, it has actually been made completely clear.

Zhang Han also understood his emperor's thoughts.

I thought that today's exciting journey was about to end.

Unexpectedly, before leaving, I suddenly heard the First Emperor sigh again.

"However, I still can't figure out why Yuan'er is so lazy."
