Chapter 3: Far from the Concept

Jianzhang Palace, Fusu’s biological mother Zheng Fei’s bedroom!

It was midsummer, and a loud reading sound came from the academy behind the palace. Several young boys and girls were reading in the pavilion, and the teacher was also expounding their views! A beautiful and gentle concubine was sitting in a shade not far from the pavilion to cool off, looking at the working children with a happy face; several eunuchs and palace maids beside her were diligently blowing at her and serving cold drinks!

Fusu looked at it for a while and a warm smile appeared in his heart. He walked over gently: "Mother, I'm paying you a favor!" The gentle Concubine Zheng was stunned and said happily: "Fusu, why are you here? Are you busy with military affairs?" Fusu said respectfully: "I haven't come to visit my mother for a while, and I have some concerns in my heart. There are some important things to tell my mother and younger brothers and sisters!"

"Okay, I'll talk to Dr. Zhou Qing and let him give the children a half-day class!" "Okay!"

The mother and son walked into the pavilion together. The doctor Zhou Qing, who was teaching, suddenly saw the two of them, stopped talking, and said with politeness: "Empress, Master!"

Concubine Zheng smiled and said, "Sir, please come back today. Some private matters of the Ai family have to be dealt with today!" Although Concubine Zheng has not been named the queen, she was also approved by the First Emperor as the leader of the three palaces and six courtyards. Her status is respected, so Zhou Qing did not dare not to sell her face and hurriedly said, "Okay, I am a little uncomfortable today, so I will say goodbye!" "Sir, please leave!"

Zhou Qing bowed his hand and went back, and as soon as he left the strict gentleman, the school immediately became lively. Several young girls poked up, surrounded Fusu, and shouted affectionately: "Brother, brother!"

Fusu warmly picked up the youngest brother, nine-year-old Ying He and seven-year-old sister, Ying Yu, and smiled and said, "What did you two little ones learn today, tell me to your brother!" The cute Ying He and Ying Yu rushed to say, "Sir, today we will bring us the Analects of Confucius, and say, 'There must be my teacher'!" Fusu was happy: "Okay, you must study hard, do you know!"

As he said that, Fusu looked at the eleven-year-old Ying Qian and smiled and said, "Qianmei, brother and mother, you Ying Ji, Ying An and the two brothers Ying An have something to talk about. You can take Ying He and Ying Yu to play elsewhere, okay!" "Okay!" Although Ying Qian was a little reluctant to part with her brother, she still nodded obediently and pulled Ying He and Ying Yu into the garden!

Fusu looked at the three children leaving with a warm face, then waved to the eunuchs and said, "You all retreat, no summons, no in!" "Here!" The eunuchs retreated!

Fusu looked at the seventeen-year-old Ying Ji and fourteen-year-old Ying An. Both of these teenagers looked tall and big like adults. He nodded happily and said, "Sit down, I'm going south soon. I'll explain some things to you!"

So, Concubine Zheng, Ying Ji and Ying An sat down next to Fusu.

Fusu's expression became heavy, and he whispered: "Ying Ji, you are seventeen years old. If you are in the people, you can go to the battlefield, which means you are already an adult! This time, it may take a long time for me to go to the south, maybe three or five years, or ten or eight years, and maybe there may not be a chance to come back during this period, so the responsibility of taking care of your mother, younger brother and sister falls on you! Can you do it?"

Seventeen-year-old Ying Ji looks very similar to Fusu. She is handsome and tall, and has a bit of heroic spirit. He hurriedly said, "Brother, don't worry, Ying Ji will definitely take good care of her mother and sister-in-law!"

Fusu looked at Ying An, who was a little smaller, and said softly: "Ying An, after brother left, you should help Brother Ying Ji take good care of his mother and younger brothers. Do you know?" Ying An was still younger after all, his eyes were a little wet, and he nodded: "I understand, brother!"

Fusu turned to his mother again and said respectfully: "Mother, I don't know when I will come back when I leave. I will leave my younger brothers and sisters to you. You must take care of yourself!" Concubine Zheng is a gentle and kind person. Seeing that her son was about to leave, she looked at her tears and nodded!

Fusu inspected the left and right, and saw that no one eavesdropped, he lowered his voice even more and said, "You must listen carefully what I say now. After listening, you must put everything in your stomach. You are thinking about it very much, but you must not say a word, otherwise there will be a disaster for death. Do you understand?"

Concubine Zheng and Ying Ji were surprised and nodded quickly.

Fusu said seriously: "Now, the father's temper is getting more and more irritable and more conceited. In the past, General Meng Wu, Dad Zhongyin and the Queen were controlled by him, so he would not lose control. Now that I leave, I don't know what the father will become!

In such a situation, mother, as the head of the three palaces and six courtyards, you must be cautious and do not act against your father’s will in order to avoid disaster! Also, you only need to take care of the harem with peace of mind, do not form cliques in the harem, and do not have close contacts with any concubine at will. In addition, you must be careful when interacting with anyone in it, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that you have no choice!”

When Concubine Zheng heard this, she said uneasy: "Fusu, why do you need this?"

Fusu solemnly said: "Because of the status of my mother, this is a hated position. Who doesn't want to replace the concubines in the palace? Also, you are my biological mother. I am now in the court with high power and will inevitably be hated by many villains. They may be able to deal with me for a while, but it is still easier to deal with you. So, after I leave, you must be cautious in your affairs. It doesn't matter if you suffer some losses. As long as you can protect yourself, everything will change when I come back! Do you understand?"

Concubine Zheng is a kind person. She is always taking care of Queen Donai and Fusu, and she has been safe. Now, hearing that Fusu is so sinister as soon as he leaves the harem, he can't help but feel a little panicked and said worriedly: "Fusu, is it really so sinister? But my mother is a woman, she doesn't know anything and doesn't know what to do!"

Fusu comforted, "Mother, don't worry, there will be proper arrangements before I leave!" Fusu looked at Ying Ji and said solemnly, "Ying Ji, among our brothers and sisters, only you can take care of this family except me! You are very similar to me, with courage and strategy, so, take good care of your mother and protect your younger brother and sister, this burden can be said to be carried on your shoulders. Can you do it?"

Ying Ji said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely be careful and fulfill my mission!"

Fusu nodded and said, "There are only two people you need to be careful about, one, Zhao Gao, the other, and Li Si. These two people hate our family to the core. Not only do they have personal grudges with me, but they also want to make them the crown prince, so they must get rid of me quickly. To cut off the grass and get rid of the roots, you will be the object they focus on. It can be said that after I leave, Xianyang City is full of dangers, Ying Ji, Ying An, and the road is long. You can save yourself, even if you help your brother and the country, remember it!"

Ying Ji and Ying An bowed solemnly and said seriously: "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely be cautious and will never let these treacherous ministers succeed!"

Fusu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the scenery in the garden, and whispered: "It's a pity that you are still young, have insufficient experience, and your mother doesn't know anything. I'm still a little worried! So, I'll tell you what you want. If it's really difficult to deal with after you encounter something, or the situation is very dangerous, you can go to General Wang Ben and the doctor Ling Meng Yi. They are sworn brothers who have made private sworns for their brothers, and they are also friends of life and death. When you go to them, they will definitely find a way to protect you! Lord Feng Jie, Lord Wei Liao, Yang Duan and Lord are also loyal and righteous people, and they have a very good relationship with Brothers. So if you have something difficult to solve, you can ask them for help. Of course, you can't tell them everything! Do you understand?"

Ying Ji and Ying An nodded: "We remember!"

Fusu thought about it again, but was still a little worried and whispered: "If the situation is really dangerous, the father will kill you if he listened to the slander, or someone would harm you, and the important officials in the court could not protect you, so you should leave the palace immediately and go south to meet me! I have already told your sister-in-law about this, so if something goes wrong, don't hesitate and go south immediately!"

Fusu said in a deep voice: "As family, you are my weakness, but as long as you can be safe, there is nothing in the world that can be difficult for you to be a brother! At that time, I will be in my hands for 500,000 soldiers. No matter who wants to touch me, I have to try to see if he has such sharp teeth!"

Ying Ji nodded and said, "What my brother said is very much, but it may be difficult to get out of here! After all, once my brother leaves, we are weak, and others don't know whether they can be reliable at that time, they can only rely on their own strength!"

Fusu nodded with relief and said, "Ying Ji, you think very well! I have already made arrangements for this. Mr. Fang Qi, the head of Lingyan Pavilion, is a well-planned man. Zhili Nei Shi Xiao He is also my deceased minister. These two people have superb strategies and should be able to find a way to get out of you safely! In addition, if there is not enough manpower, you can find someone at Fengyasong Restaurant on Xuanwu Avenue, named Wei Hu. He is an important chess piece arranged for his brother in Xianyang. He has hundreds of elite swordsmen under his command, so they can also help! I can only arrange so many now, and where the future situation will develop, and whether our family's safety can be safe depends on your ability!" Ying Ji nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, Ying Ji will definitely live up to his responsibilities!"

Fusu looked at the sky in the distance again and sighed, "Okay, the army is gathering, I'm leaving soon! Mother, Xia'er and Feng'er are about to give birth. Please take care of them after I leave!" Concubine Zheng nodded with tears!

Fusu left Jianzhang Palace and went directly to see the First Emperor. At that time, the First Emperor was reviewing the memorial in the southern study room. When he saw Fusu coming, he stood up and smiled and said, "Wang'er is here to see me, what's the point?"

Fusu said, "Father, the 500,000 army is about to be assembled, and my son will also conquer Baiyue, but there are a few things I want to ask my father to allow him to do so before the trip!"

The First Emperor nodded and said, "What are your requirements? Wang'er will say it!"

Fusu thought for a while and said, "General Wang Jian attacked Chu, he often wanted pastoral and beautiful houses to return to the trust of His Majesty. My son went there this time, with thousands of miles of mountains and mountains, long distances and traffic congested. Many places need to be cheap. I hope my father will grant a special order, otherwise it will be difficult to calm down." Fusu's real thoughts are not as high-sounding as it appears. Half is for the public, and half is for the private: because as long as this imperial edict is available, Fusu can not only get the people to handle the affairs of the Southern Expedition, but also become the legitimate King of the South Sea, and at the lowest level can protect himself!

The First Emperor was very open-minded in the military and said with a smile: "This is what it should be. I grant you full authority to act. After the Nanhai period is started, the county will be established and the military and political affairs in the area will be in charge of all military and political affairs."

Fusu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your kind gift! The second thing is: The biggest enemy of the 500,000 troops in the southern expedition was not the Yue people, but the difficulty of replenishing food and grass, so there must be a very outstanding talent to plan this matter for Erchen; in addition, based on the principle of nearby supply, the Bashu Granary, one of the two major granaries of our Great Qin, is closest to the battlefield of the Nanzheng battlefield, which can minimize the distance and difficulties of supply. Therefore, Erchen begs his father to order his subordinate Fan Tianshi to be the deputy general, to manage all military and political affairs of Ba and Shu counties, and to ensure the safety of his supply to the greatest extent!"

The First Emperor was somewhat suspicious and said, "Who is Fan Tianshi? Can he be competent for this matter?" Fusu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Father, in recent years, Fan Tianshi has been a member of the minister's "Wolf Fang. Pojun". His affairs are managed in a reasonable manner. He is a very outstanding logistics and planning talent. With him, he can also rest assured!"

The First Emperor thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to the king!"

Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this and said in his heart: "It's great. I have a 500,000 army in my hand, and there are sufficient food and grass in Bashu as support. As long as my father goes away, no matter how chaotic the government is, with my prestige in the Central Plains and Guanzhong, whether it is the court or the people, the position of King Qin is the one I will do. Even if there are some turmoil, my 500,000 army heads north, with Zhang Liang, Fan Tian, ​​Han Xin, Ying Bu and others as generals, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben, Meng Yi, Xiao He and others can also pacify them in one fell swoop!"

Fusu, excited, continued: "In addition, after the son-in-law left, please ask the father to take good care of his mother, brother-in-law, wife and children on behalf of his son-in-law. Even if there is anything wrong with them occasionally, please forgive them for the son-in-law's struggle for the Qin Dynasty!"

The First Emperor smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this. They are all my relatives. You will not treat them unfairly. Just worry about the southern expedition!"
