Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Fusu's answer surprised Mrs. Zheng. In fact, when the news came out, she had speculated whether the 'rumor' was true or false, but there was no evidence.

This is normal. Now that Mo Jun has not opened a small stove to give Fusu a reminder, the only people who know whether the news is true or false are Mo Jun and Ying Zheng.

besides.

Even Mrs. Zheng couldn't find any information in advance.

"'Supervising the country' is a big deal. If this is true, my son must not be impulsive. If you encounter trouble, you should listen to your teacher's advice and don't let your father down."

After a brief surprise, Mrs. Zheng quickly regained her composure and warned Fusu in a gentle tone.

Isn't Mrs. Zheng excited?

This is obviously an impossible thing. The matter of 'supervising the country' seems to be just Fusu replacing Ying Zheng to temporarily handle state affairs during the imperial expedition, but there are too many meanings behind it.

Mrs. Zheng knew very well that although Fusu was now the eldest son of the Qin State, it was actually not stable for him to sit in that position based on his status alone.

The inheritance of the eldest son is indeed in line with etiquette and law, and a country will eventually be handed over to the eldest son without any accidents. But the problem is that, looking through the history books, there are too many such 'accidents'.

And now, Ying Zheng actually took the initiative to hand over the power of 'supervising the country' to Fusu, who was only more than ten years old, during his personal expedition. His superficial attitude was already obvious.

This time's supervision of the country will be able to add a lot of leverage to Fusu out of thin air when inheriting that position in the future.

"My son understands."

"Well! I've been running around all day these days, and now that it's getting late, Wang'er should go down and rest first!"

"This... son, please retire."

A trace of reluctance flashed across Fusu's face. After all, he had not seen his mother for several months. He originally had a lot to say, but now that Mrs. Zheng had spoken, Fusu had no choice but to get up and leave.

After Fusu left.

Mrs. Zheng was soon left alone in such a huge palace, deep in thought.

Although she had just received important information from Fusu, Mrs. Zheng did not immediately use this information to do anything. It was not that he did not want to, but that he knew that he could not do so.

the reason is simple.

Because Mrs. Zheng knows Ying Zheng too well.

Not only did that man not like the harem being involved in politics, Mrs. Zheng even suspected that he didn't even like the harem. Even though she had slept with him and even gave birth to Fusu, the eldest son, she still had not gained the slightest trust from that man. .

Throughout the Qin State, Ying Zheng's trust in civil and military ministers such as Mo Jun, Wang Jian, and Meng Ao was far greater than that of Mrs. Zheng.

As for the position of queen, Mrs. Zheng had already had a premonition a long time ago that she might not be able to sit in it in her lifetime.

But she was not disappointed.

Because Mrs. Zheng also knows that although she cannot sit in that position, others will never be able to sit in that position.

Now the entire harem is under the control of that man. Although there was no one nearby when she was talking to Fusu just now, Mrs. Zheng can guarantee that as long as she said one more thing that she shouldn't have said, it won't take half a day. In an hour, these words will immediately reach the man's ears.

Mrs. Zheng is undoubtedly a very smart woman.

It's just that her intelligence is not reflected in power struggles. If she had to describe it, Mrs. Zheng is like a ball of water. Water benefits everything without fighting, but it is 'if there is no fighting, there will be fighting.'

But think about it, this is also a normal thing.

After all, Mrs. Zheng was born in the Chu royal family, and her vision, knowledge, and knowledge were not inferior to those of any aristocratic woman.

What's more, he also led his husband to give birth to his eldest son Fusu.

It seems that giving birth to a child depends entirely on luck, but in fact, in a place like the palace, even if you have a child, if you don't have enough means, a backer, and a little bit of luck, you are not qualified.

"Horn slave."

After Fusu left, Mrs. Zheng called out in the palace after some time.

"What are your orders, madam?"

A person opened the door and walked in, and judging from his appearance, it was the palace servant who had been following Fusu before.

This chamberlain was originally sent by Mrs. Zheng to protect and take care of Fusu when Fusu went out to study. He was also one of the very few trustworthy people in the huge Xianyang harem that Mrs. Zheng had.

"Is Fusu still adapting to life with Lord Shengping during this period?"

"Back to Madam, the eldest son is studying very diligently with Mr. Shengping Jun. In addition, in order to teach the eldest son, Mr. Shengping Jun also specially invited Mr. Fu Nian, the senior elder brother of the Confucian Xiaoshengxian Village, and the nine young masters of Korea to take turns. The eldest son will teach."

"Mr. Fu Nian? The Ninth Young Master of South Korea?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and she continued: "Didn't Lord Shengping personally teach Wang Er?"

"Yes, but Lord Shengping is busy with his affairs, so he doesn't teach the eldest son in person very often."

The horn slave replied respectfully.

The conversation between the two seemed ordinary, but in fact it was Mrs. Zheng asking about the relationship between Fusu and Mo Jun during the period when they were studying in Hanzhong.

Mrs. Zheng knew very well that when Fusu went to Hanzhong to study, knowledge was not the most important. What was really important was the teacher Fusu worshiped, who was Mo Jun himself.

And Jiao Nu's answer just now told Mrs. Zheng the answer.

Although Mr. Mo was teaching Fusu knowledge during this period, he did not end up in trouble many times. In other words, Mr. Mo did not intend to get too involved with Fusu at the moment.

This result is not too unexpected by Mrs. Zheng, because this is what smart people do.

"Madam, now the eldest son is about to enter [Hundred Schools Academy] to study, and his studies in Mo Mansion have come to an end. Do you think... should we send a teacher-appreciation gift to [Mo Mansion]?"

Seeing Mrs. Zheng's silence, Jiao Nu on the side suddenly spoke tentatively.

Of course, the 'gift' he meant was not just a gift. The gift Jiao Nu meant was to give a 'big gift', which meant to win over Lord Mo and completely bind him to Fusu in the same boat.

However, Jiao Nu had just finished speaking when he saw Mrs. Zheng's eyes swept over coldly and said: "Stupid, who do you think that person is? This kind of person comes from a humble background, but he can rely on his own strength to pull off many changes one after another. The characters who defeated Lu Buwei and Lao Ai, if you go to give gifts at this time, are you 'thanking' or 'threatening'?"

"Don't say that again in the future."

The horn slave said respectfully, "Yes, I know I was wrong."
