In a blink of an eye, Fusu is already five years old. I don’t know why. Fusu is far taller than a child of the same age. A five-year-old person looks like he is seven or eight years old. And now Xiao Fusu is no longer Ying Zheng’s only son. In just a few years, Fusu has already had five or six more brothers and sisters, and even a little brother Yingji added to him by his mother Concubine Zheng! As the eldest son of a royal family, it is time to receive the orthodox royal education!

According to the laws of the Qin royal family, the prince or the eldest son of the king must receive basic education for his heir at the age of five, including poetry, calligraphy, rituals, music, shooting, imperial and swordsmanship. At the age of twelve, the learning projects include deeper knowledge such as political and economic techniques, military techniques, and punishments. In addition, you can also study other advanced knowledge such as astronomy, geography, and various schools of thought according to your own interests. At the age of fifteen, you will receive different trainings according to the level of the prince, legitimate heir, illegitimate heir, etc.: among them, the prince and legitimate heir received very strict training, with the Taishi teaching imperialism; the Taishi supervising moral cultivation, managing daily life, and diplomatic responses and other rituals; the Taigu is responsible for physical health care and safety protection.

When Zong Zheng, who was in charge of the affairs of the royal family, asked the Qin King Ying Zheng for advice on how to educate Fusu, Ying Zheng, who had high expectations for Fusu for a while, was a little hesitant for a moment! Finally, he finally decided that Ying Zheng's basic education and cultivation education should not be taught by the royal family, but by his own teacher, a wise man who is wise and knowledgeable about the past and present!

As Ying Zheng’s enlightenment teacher when he was in Handan, the “Old Man Zhongyin” had a huge impact on Ying Zheng. If Gongsun Yu was the only person who truly loved in the life of King Ying Zheng, then the “Old Man Zhongyin” was the only person Ying Zheng respected in his life.

As early as when Ying Zheng was still young, Ying Zheng brought the "Zhongyin Old Man" to Qin State and built a pastoral small residence with a very peasant atmosphere in a corner of the palace according to the wishes of the old man! From then on, this pastoral small residence that seemed out of place with the surrounding magnificent buildings became a forbidden area in the palace. No one dared to take a step without the permission of the King of Qin! Whenever Qin Emperor Ying Zheng handled political affairs and encountered difficulties, he would lightly ask the old man for advice. Therefore, in almost every major action carried out by King of Qin, the shadow of the old man's wisdom flashed!

Fusu was full of strong curiosity for this second-generation imperial teacher who had very little writing in history and had a very strong mysterious color (he was not only the teacher of King Yingzheng of Qin, but also the teacher of King Qin Zhao of Qin). Unfortunately, without the permission of King Qin's father, Fusu dared not step into the pastoral small residence. You must know that the surrounding area of ​​the small residence was full of dense Hu Ben Army, and that was not a vegetarian!

So when the King of Qin informed Fusu that he decided to "Zhongyin" as his mentor, Xiao Fusu was so happy. This was a legendary hermit comparable to "Guiguzi" and "sunzi"! So on the way to the pastoral small residence, Xiao Fusu kept asking questions to Ying Zheng on the imperial chariot.

"Father, why should the teacher call himself the 'Old Man Zhongyin'?"

"That's because the father (the old man from Qin Wang Yingzheng always showed respect for the 'dad') believed that Xiao Yin was hidden in the wild, Zhong was hidden in the city, and Da Yin was hidden in the court. He thought Xiao Yin was too bored and Da Yin was too annoyed, so he chose Zhong Yin, so he called himself "Zhong Yin Old Man"!"

"Oh, so that's it! So Father, I heard that the teacher has many disciples, and Father knows what they have?"

"Oh, my dad refused to say more, and my dad only knows a few of them: for example, my dad and your grandfather, King Zhao, are both his disciples, Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, are also his disciples, and the strange hero "dog slaughter" in Yanzhao land is also one of my dad's disciples. I don't know the other guys!"

...

Maybe Ying Zheng was in a good mood today, so he talked so much with Fusu. And the more he heard it, the more shocked Xiao Fusu heard it, he was, who was the only four people he knew, was not a famous person? When King Zhao of Qin was defeated more than one million troops of the six countries, and wiped out all the elites of Wei, Chu and Zhao, the strongest of the six countries, laying the foundation for Qin Shihuang to unify the six countries! Not to mention Qin Shihuang himself, the eternal emperor who unified China! Li Mu, a good general of Zhao State, was also a famous general in Chinese history: defeating the Xiongnu and retiring the Qin army, he was a truly unbeaten general! Even the city hero "dog slaughter" was also a hero in the world who was known for his swordsmanship. He probably had many outstanding figures in other disciples who had not appeared! For a time, Fusu was full of stronger curiosity about this "Old Man Zhongyin"!

As we chatted, the old man's pastoral small residence was soon soon! There were more than a hundred steps away from the small residence, Ying Zheng ordered the chariot to fall off the chariot, and the servants and Fusu went to the small residence lightly!

Amid the knock on the door, a beautiful boy with thirteen or fourteen years old with a braid on his head opened the yard. The King of Qin said softly with a gentle voice that was inconsistent with his usual personality: "Qing'er, is my dad here?" Qing hurriedly said: "Report to the king, my dad is here! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Ying Zheng nodded and entered the courtyard under Qing's guidance.

When Fusu entered the courtyard for the first time, his little eyes suddenly rolled around: he saw that the courtyard was full of flowers, plants and vegetables, full of a fragrance mixed with the smell of earth; an ordinary main house plus the east and west sides were decorated so ordinary that it could not be more ordinary. Fusu couldn't help but feel a little confused about time and space: There was such a pleasant place in this towering Qin Palace, which was amazing!

After entering the main room, Fusu saw the "Old Man Zhongyin" sitting on a soft puff. The old man was slender, upright and powerful, with square face and broad face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes. Although his hair and beard had already turned pale, his face was still very rosy and looked very swaying!

Fusu calculated the age of the old man. Since he could be his great-grandfather's master, he probably wouldn't be as good as his age than ninety! He couldn't help but stick out his tongue: "Wow, this old man lives so long, enough to win a longevity championship in the world! It seems that he must be well versed in the way of health, otherwise he wouldn't have lived that long time!"

But seeing Ying Zheng kneeling on the cushion with a respectful expression, saluted the old man, and said softly: "Dad, Zheng'er has brought Fusu to you! Please accept him as his disciple!" "Old Man Zhongyin" did not answer for a moment, but just looked at Fusu up and down with a smile.

Ying Zheng was a little strange. He looked up and saw Xiao Fusu standing straight in place, staring at the old man in a daze! Ying Zheng was a little embarrassed and said a little angrily: "You are bold and rebellious, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to become a disciple!"

Fusu woke up and saw that the father of King Qin was angry and majestic, he was so scared that he knelt down and said, "Child Fusu, please pay me a blessing to the ancestor, grandpa, and grandpa, and accept me as his disciple!" He said that, looking at the old man with a eager look.

Such a famous teacher was hard to come by during the Warring States Period. Fusu didn’t want to let go!

The old man looked at the clever and cute little Fusu, his long white eyebrows trembled slightly, and he smiled slightly, "This child looks pretty and looks firm and calm. Zheng'er, Fusu has a very good qualification!"

Ying Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you for praise!" The old man smiled and said, "You don't have to be happy for the time being. You know my standards for accepting apprentices. If he can't answer my three questions, it's useless to beg me again!" Ying Zheng knew that the old man would have to undergo a strict test first when accepting apprentices, so he nodded quickly and said, "It's okay, Fusu has been extremely smart since childhood, so my father can ask questions with confidence!"

The old man smiled and said, "The first question is, let you choose: If you only have one pear around you and your younger brother really wants to eat this pear, what would you do?"

Fusu said without thinking: "It's very simple. Brother should give in to his younger brother and give him the pear!"

"Why?" the old man asked with a smile!

Fusu blinked and said, "First, he is my brother, I should love him and give in to him. Second, when it comes to these issues that have nothing to do with the big festival, be humble!"

The old man nodded and continued, "Okay, the second question: If you were asked to cross a single-plank bridge, the water flowed under the bridge was very surging, and when you came to the middle of the bridge, a wolf appeared in front of you. When you wanted to retreat, you found a tiger behind you, what would you do?"

Fusu thought seriously and said firmly: "Diver! I am a small and weak person. I will definitely die whether I deal with a wolf or a tiger. But I can swim and jump into the water. At least I still have some hope of survival!"

Seeing Fusu answering the question like a little adult, the old man and Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

The old man continued to ask the third question in a laugh, and this question was much more formal: "Fusu, the country is like a scepter covered with thorns. How can you control it safely without being pricked and bleeding from the head?"

Fusu immediately said seriously: "What's the difficulty? Give me a knife and cut off all the thorns that are in trouble without mercy. It will naturally be very comfortable to master a smooth and safe power!"

The old man smiled, obviously very happy, with white hair, white eyebrows and white eyebrows shaking together, just like a smile on Maitreya. Ying Zheng was a little stunned, obviously he had not seen the old man so happy for many years!

The old man smiled and said, "Fusu, the answer is good. Your three answers are a bit unexpected to me. But it can be seen that Fusu is humble and principled, independent and bold, thoughtful, thoughtful but not restrained, and is cruel and decisive! He is indeed a talent for achieving great things. I have accepted this disciple and be my closed disciple!"

Ying Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you, Dad, for the exception of the collection. Zheng'er, thank you for Fusu!" The old man shook his hand and smiled and said, "Don't thank me, I can still have such a smart disciple before I come. God is not bad to me! Let's do this, Fusu, when you come here every day in the future, I can teach you the poems, books, rituals, music, shooting, swordsmanship, military tactics, and emperor skills that the prince needs to learn! But I am not familiar with the criminal arts of the Qin Dynasty. Zheng'er, the criminal arts of the arts of the crime must be taught by you!"

Ying Zheng said respectfully: "Yes, Dad. Zhao Gao, the eunuch around me, grew up with me since childhood. He is very loyal. He is very proficient in the art of punishment. No one in the Qin Dynasty can surpass him, so I plan to wait a few years after Fusu reaches the age of ten, and let him teach Fusu the art of punishment. What do you think?"

The old man thought about it when he heard this. The wise old man had seen Zhao Gao several times. With his wisdom, how could he not see Zhao Gao's sinisterness? It was just that the old man knew that Zhao Gao's father had once died as Ying Zheng's father, King Zhuang, and Zhao Gao grew up with Ying Zheng since childhood, so Ying Zheng trusted Zhao Gao very much. The old man thought about it and clicked until he said, "Zhao Gao is a poisonous snake. Zheng'er, you must be careful to control it!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, Zhao Gao's temperament is clear. With Zheng'er here, he can't play any tricks!" Fusu also smiled slightly and said, "As the saying goes, 'Dragon gives birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, the son of a mouse can dig holes', the father is wise and divine, and the child is not a vegetarian! Zhao Gao is not afraid of him no matter how he thorns him! He will punish him like cutting thorns when he dares to stab Fusu!"

Seeing Fusu describing him and Zhao Gao like this, the King of Qin and the old man couldn't help but laugh at the sky: "It's appropriate and interesting. It seems that we are so attentive!"

Next, Qin Zheng and the old man had a serious matter for a while. Seeing that it was almost noon, Ying Zhengcai and Fusu reluctantly bid farewell to the old man!
Chapter completed!
