Chapter 92 Who still remembers the life and death of Qian Shou?
It has to be said that Ying Yuan's action of calling on his father to take sides and express his stance on the spot really scared all the court officials.
It was at this time that they remembered something.
Yo!
It seemed that they almost forgot that the Emperor Qin Shi Huang, whom they usually feared like a tiger, was sitting behind the screen at this moment.
Just thinking about this makes many people feel as if their whole body is covered with prickly hairs, which makes them feel uncomfortable.
But Fusu is the only one not included among them.
At this moment, he looked at his sixth brother who was sitting at the top with a slightly complicated expression, then turned his head to look at the inconspicuous screen.
Even though Fusu was a gentle gentleman known to everyone, he had to admit that he was jealous!
Especially after the court was dismissed, before Ying Yuan could run away, an old eunuch who served his father came over with a flattering smile on his face and whispered something in Ying Yuan's ear.
Then, his sixth brother simply flicked his sleeves and went behind the screen.
Obviously, this father and son have something to discuss!
This feeling made Fusu feel particularly sour in his heart.
Because he had never had this kind of treatment before!
He stood there in a daze, struggling to stir in the pool of memory.
Even though he had dug through all the old memories, he still couldn't recall any warm and affectionate scenes between himself and his father.
In the past, Fusu and the First Emperor were always one polite and the other cold and majestic.
No matter how good Fusu's academic performance was, in Ying Zheng's eyes, he was never a young man who could satisfy him.
Fusu actually knew that the First Emperor was dissatisfied with him.
But his values, outlook on life and world view have already been formed.
He really was very resistant to his father's overbearing and cold style.
Therefore, the relationship between them will always be more like that between a ruler and his subjects than that between father and son.
But... Ying Yuan is different.
Fusu saw his sixth brother laughing loudly and sitting crookedly several times when he was with his father.
But every time when chatting with my sixth brother, although there was no smile on my father's face, the smile and warmth in his eyes could not be ignored.
The most important thing is, with his sixth brother suddenly taking on the role of observing government affairs first and then regulating the country, Fusu felt that his position suddenly became awkward.
Even though everyone knew that Fusu was the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty;
Even though everyone knew that he, Fusu, was the first to observe government affairs;
Even though everyone knows that he is known as a gentle gentleman...
But, he is not liked by his own father!
So much so that it has come to this point.
In fact, Fusu really wanted to catch up with his father and sixth brother at this moment.
Even if you don't say anything after you go over there, just listening to their conversation and joining in the fun, that still counts as participating.
This is better than just watching from afar like now!
But he couldn't move his legs!
So, he could only watch from afar and silently.
At the same time, he was secretly thinking about how to make his father see a different side of him.
At this time, the First Emperor and Ying Yuan, who were missed by Fusu, were walking side by side, which was extremely rare, and were walking slowly in the palace.
The other eunuchs, guards, etc. were all kept far away.
Even a fool knows that these father and son might be talking about some national affairs.
If you don’t want to die, don’t listen to some things!
"Sixth Brother, are you so impatient to take the throne? You have already started appointing nine ministers!"
The First Emperor was never a good father.
Because he himself has never enjoyed fatherly love, he doesn't know what a good father should be like!
He has always treated his children as his subjects.
At most, he was just a close and blood-related minister.
Therefore, he speaks particularly "sharply"!
But if this sentence was said to other princes, such as Fusu, he would probably bow and admit his mistake on the spot, but when it came to Ying Yuan, he just rolled his eyes.
"Dad, please stop making trouble!" "This emperor is so troublesome!"
"If it weren't for the fact that Daqin belongs to our family and you handed it to me, I would feel embarrassed to carry it too much."
"Otherwise I would have been in Xianyang City enjoying myself every day. I would have been so happy!"
The corners of the First Emperor's mouth twitched unconsciously.
"Isn't this rebellious son too presumptuous in front of me?"
'Why are the other kids so afraid of me, but he's not afraid at all?'
In fact, this is also the reason why Emperor Qin Shihuang has always looked upon Ying Yuan with a different eye.
That is, since childhood, Ying Yuan has not been afraid of him.
No matter how stern his face was or even if he cursed, Ying Yuan was still fine.
But over the years, the First Emperor really got used to and liked this way of getting along between father and son, which he thought was "abnormal".
"I don't know how many people are eager to seize my position, but you are the one who despises them?"
"Then explain to me why you want to recruit three worthless people to be the Nine Ministers at once?"
Although Ying Yuan enjoyed himself, he knew that these things were just fun and jokes.
Seeing that his father was talking about serious matters, he naturally became serious as well.
He took a deep breath and did not directly answer the First Emperor's question. Instead, he asked the First Emperor a question.
"Father, how many mainstream factions do you think there are in the court of the Great Qin?"
The First Emperor was startled when he heard this.
He didn't expect Ying Yuan to ask such a question.
However, he was always fearless and spoke directly and frankly.
"If we just talk about factions, there are too many. Wang Jian and his son, the Meng brothers represent the military, and Li Si represents the Legalists."
"The old Qin nobles behind Feng Quji who was tormented by you today, and the people from the six countries who banded together!"
Having said that, the First Emperor looked at Ying Yuan meaningfully.
"Of course, your eldest brother Fusu also has a group headed by Confucianism behind him."
Ying Yuan nodded calmly when he heard this.
"That's right!"
"The present Qin is no longer as united as it was when it first came to the East."
"At that time, the Qin Empire was united, and everyone's interests were aligned with the Qin Empire."
"If the Qin Dynasty unifies the world, then all the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty will benefit!"
"But the current Daqin is different!"
Ying Yuan turned his head and looked at his father before continuing.
"After the unification of the Qin Empire, the people who had suffered from the war were not the only ones who were concerned about the peace of mind."
"The same goes for the civil and military officials in the court!"
"Without a grand goal to tie their interests together with the interests of Daqin, they will naturally have to think more about their own interests."
“But that’s the problem!”
"Who among these people still remembers what life was like for the common people in the Qin Dynasty?"
"Who would care about the lives of the people?"
