General Qin

"I heard that the ruler of the world should inherit the inheritance and build up the second generation to stabilize the country and the family."

"The eldest son of the emperor, Fusu, is the first heir of the clan. He has an upright character and is the will of heaven. I hereby abide by Chuzhao, carry out the ceremony, and obey the public opinion. I sincerely inform heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country, grant the seal of policy, and establish him as the crown prince. .”

In the main hall of the Qin Palace, the visitors held the edict and read out in public the edict, which was related to the stability of the country.

"My son Fusu, thank you father for your kindness."

The eldest son helped Su out of the procession, with a solemn expression on his face, and bowed to the First Emperor on the imperial couch.

After that, he will go with the First Emperor to worship and worship the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the state. After a ceremony, Fusu will no longer be called the eldest son, but the real prince.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Tuo breathed out a sigh of relief, but also had mixed feelings in his heart.

changed.

This is probably the biggest change in history since he came to this era.

The appointment of the crown prince announced the determination of the ownership of the Qin emperor's throne.

Legally speaking, Fusu is the first heir to the Qin Empire.

Even if there is an emergency in the future where the First Emperor suddenly falls ill and dies, no one will dare to make any false edicts or the like.

In addition, the First Emperor suffered a spine injury in Pengcheng and became obsessed with cultivating immortals after returning. Zhao Tuo estimated that the First Emperor would probably not go on an eastward tour in the future. In this way, the incident on the sand dunes would be completely avoided.

"Without Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's massacre of clan members and indiscriminate administration of state affairs, the entire history would be completely different from the original. The changes at the end of Qin would never happen again."

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo showed a real smile.

First change the original tragic ending, and then slowly find ways to reform the country's politics, and everything will eventually get better.

As Fusu thanked him, all the ministers also saluted and congratulated him.

They were not surprised by this result.

The First Emperor summoned Fusu, who was the supervisor of the army, back to Xianyang in advance, and then ordered him to take charge of matters. This political signal was too obvious. As long as the ministers with a slightly keen sense of smell had some guesses about this, they just didn't expect the First Emperor to do things so quickly.

Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, apart from Zhao Tuo, Tingwei Li Si was the most excited.

It's just that his political literacy is very good, and the expression on his face is very calm, but his eyes look towards Zhao Tuo from time to time.

If Fusu comes to power, Zhao Tuo may be the only one who can compete with him for power.

Sensing someone's attention, Zhao Tuo turned his head and found Li Si smiling at him.

"Old Li, Old Li, I saved the lives of your family. History has been changed, and you, Li Si, no longer have to suffer the consequences of being punished with five punishments and being wiped out in half. You have to thank me for that, right?"

Zhao Tuo returned the other party's smile, muttering secretly in his heart.

Invisibly, he changed the fate of too many people.

This time the court meeting seemed to be held only for the canonization. After the edict was announced, the First Emperor announced that the court would disperse and he would take Fusu to the ancestral temple and other places to perform sacrifices.

Because this matter was extremely sensitive, Zhao Tuo did not chat with the other ministers and planned to go back first to tell Ying Yinman the good news. He walked out of the palace in a few steps.

Li Si's thoughts were similar to Zhao Tuo's.

After the dispersion of the dynasty, Wang Wu, the governor of Su Nei, and others came to congratulate him.

"Tingwei is a prince and a married woman, and she will have a bright future in the future."

"You guys are serious. When discussing the future in our country, it still depends on ability and loyalty."

Li Si responded calmly and quickly got rid of the ministers who wanted to make friends with him. After leaving the palace gate, he went straight to the mansion.

After returning home, Li Si's face showed excitement.

"Cook me a bowl of sauced pork noodles and add more wine to taste!"

While giving instructions to his servants, he sent his attendants to find Li Yu who was still playing cards with others outside.

"Father, why are you so happy?"

As soon as Li Yu came back, he saw his old father eating a bowl of noodles with a red face and a smile on his face.

"Today the emperor officially issued an edict to confer the eldest son as the crown prince!"

Li Si dropped this bombshell.

Li Yu was startled, then he clapped his hands excitedly and laughed: "Great! Great! The eldest son becomes the prince, and as long as he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, then my Li family will enjoy wealth and honor in the Qin Dynasty forever!"

Li Si nodded, but immediately changed the subject, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be too happy about this matter. I called you back this time, firstly, to tell you to be more careful in your words and deeds in the future, and never be proud of it. , you should keep your mouth shut outside and don’t ruin the prince’s important affairs.”

For his neutron, Li Si was not at ease at all and had to give him some warning.

"I know, I won't talk nonsense outside."

Li Yu curled his lips and said, "Father said it, is there something else?"

Li Si looked around again, and after seeing that no outsiders were present, he whispered: "I think the son of the Wugong Hou family is already two years old. And your sister married the eldest son before Princess Wugong Hou Shang. In the past three years, she has been nowhere to be found, and she doesn’t know what’s going on.”

Li Yu knew the seriousness of the matter and said with a solemn expression: "What my father said is that only if the daughter of my Li family gives birth to an heir for the royal family, can I, the Li family, have any hope of long-term wealth. Previously, the eldest son was outside to supervise the army. When he was at home, "Young Master, maybe it's because of this reason that you didn't get pregnant, right?"

"It's hard for me to come forward in this matter. You should find an opportunity to tell her something. No matter what the situation is, you must conceive the prince's son as soon as possible. Only in this way can the status of my Li family be truly stable!"

"Her belly is related to the future of my Li family!"

Li Si's eyes sparkled.

Fusu became the crown prince, which is certainly worthy of happiness.

But for Li, the most important thing now is for his daughter Li Si to give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson as soon as possible!

Li Si once worked as a retainer under Lu Buwei, and he knew very well about Lu Buwei's manipulation of strangers to gain power in his early years.

In that era, the core reason why Prince Yiren succeeded in ascending to power was precisely because Lord An Guo's wife, Mrs. Huayang, could not give birth to a son.

If Mrs. Huayang had a biological son, Lu Buwei and Young Master Yiren would not be able to succeed in ascending the throne no matter how powerful they were.

This incident showed that Li Si's daughter's position as the crown prince's wife was not yet secure. She had to give birth to a son, otherwise sooner or later she would take advantage of others.

As long as Li Shu gave birth to a son, that child would be Fusu's eldest son and the eldest grandson of the First Emperor.

This is the true legal heir of the Great Qin Empire!

Only in this way can he, Mr. Li, gain real wealth.

"At any cost, I, the daughter of the Li family, will give birth to a son for the prince!"

Li Si gritted his teeth and spoke.

In his mind, he inexplicably thought of the two-year-old child from the Wugong Hou family.

Although the eldest princess's son posed no threat to the throne, Li Si always felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of one thing.

Zhao Tuo's son is now the only grandson of the First Emperor.

…

In the mansion of the Marquis of Martial Arts.

Zhao Tuo, who came back from the court, was very excited and told Ying Yinman the good news that Fusu was officially registered.

"Very good!"

Ying Yinman's smiling eyes narrowed, and she said to Zhao Tuo: "My brother has been appointed as the crown prince. Now you can feel relieved, right?"

"What can I rest assured? The eldest son himself is the first heir, and he deserves to be appointed." Zhao Tuo said inconsistently.

Ying Yinman showed a sly look on his face and whispered: "Don't think I don't know. Every time my father wanted to go to war or build a palace, you were in a bad mood and your face was not normal at home. I see. Ah, you are dissatisfied with some of my father's decisions, but you don't dare to say it outright, so you must be thinking that after my brother comes up, you can show off your skills."

"My princess, you can't say this nonsense."

Zhao Tuo was startled, but he didn't expect that Ying Yinman had already read through his thoughts.

But it's normal to think about it. After all, she is his wife who shares his bed and stays with him day and night. If she can't even feel her own emotions, it means she really has no love.

Ying Yinman smiled, but when she thought of something, her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled again.

She said with some worry: "My brother received an order from his father to return to Xianyang first. It was winter at that time, and I saw that he had a severe cough. He said that he had been exposed to wind and cold in the north, leaving symptoms on his body."
