Qin Official

Qin Shi Huang heard that Hei Fu's first child was about to be born.

Only when you have your first child can you complete the transformation from a boy to a man. It seems as if you see the continuation of your own life and also give the newborn a different kind of expectation.

Fusu meant more to Qin Shihuang than that. More than 20 years ago, on the night when the comet came, a baby cried in the windy Xianyang Palace. When Qin Shihuang received the congratulations from the people of Fumu Palace, he took his eldest son and gently held him in his thick arms. Looking at this little life carved with pink and jade, Qin Shihuang smiled sincerely.

The birth of the eldest son tells the world one thing: King Qin is strong! This gave the Queen Mother and Lu Buwei no longer any reason to prevent him from performing the crowning ceremony and taking over the power personally!

In March, the eldest son is born, and in April, he stays in Yong. Jiyou, the crown, carries the Tai'a sword!

After that, he defeated Lao Ai, imprisoned Zhao Ji, and drove away the Lu family, all in one go. Qin Shihuang was very high-spirited. The beginning of all these good things was the joy of Lin'er.

The next ten years were the ten years when Qin Shihuang relied heavily on Chu's relatives, and they were also the ten years when he loved Fusu the most. However, he was busy with government affairs and left his eldest son to be raised by the Queen Mother of Huayang and the Concubine of Chu. He grew up under the influence of poems, books and Fu of Chu. As a result, he left a profound imprint of the Chu Kingdom on Fusu.

After Qin Shihuang noticed this trend, he was very unhappy. In the year when the Zhao Kingdom fell, he took Fusu, who was only ten years old, and his father and son on a long trip. They arrived all the way to Handan, which was controlled by the Qin army. Qin Shihuang led Fusu into the dilapidated alley, got into the broken red paint door, and looked for him who was the same age as Fusu. When he left Handan, he buried a child in the yard. The bamboo horse tells his son about the suffering he suffered in Handan.

He also wanted to show Fusu how the Qin army dismembered and destroyed the arrogant Zhao State, and how he took revenge!

But looking at the hundreds of Zhao nobles who were about to be killed, Fusu only had horror and compassion in his eyes.

He actually begged Qin Shihuang in front of everyone to forgive those who had insulted the great Qin king and grandson.

"If my father can forgive me, then everyone in Zhao will know my father's benevolence, and they will welcome my father just like they welcomed Shang, Tang and Zhou Wu..."

Even though Fusu was precocious, how could a teenage boy say such a thing? Qin Shihuang investigated and suspected that it was Fusu's uncle, Prime Minister Chang Pingjun who ordered it!

The Empress Dowager Huayang was dead, and the political situation had been stabilized. After the Han and Zhao empresses had been destroyed, Qin Shihuang's rule was at its peak. Chu's relatives were no longer his help, but became a burden. Especially at the critical moment when he was about to conquer the Chu Kingdom, he felt even more like a light on his back!

When they were still in their prime, they began to use Fusu in a delusional attempt to influence their own governance! Who can tell clearly what more egregious things will be done in the future.

In anger, Qin Shihuang made a decision and used this as a pretext to remove Lord Changping from his post after serving as prime minister for eleven years! At the same time, he began to neglect Concubine Chu and relegated her to the cold palace, causing her to die in depression.

He personally ended the Chu relatives who had influenced the political situation of the Qin State for nearly a hundred years starting from the Queen Mother Xuan, and then pacified the Chu State.

And Fusu became the final fruit of the twenty-fifth generation of Qin and Chu's cursed marriage alliance. Like a Fusu tree on the top of a mountain, she lived alone and proudly in the deep palace and gradually grew up.

As the number of heirs increased and government affairs became more and more busy, Qin Shihuang no longer cared about Fusu in the past. It was only when he remembered it a few years later and summoned Fusu and his Fu to test his recent knowledge that he was surprised. It was discovered that the mark of the Chu Kingdom on Fusu's body, instead of fading, became stronger and stronger!

Although he no longer wears Chu clothes, Fusu's every move, word and deed shows the Chu-style elegance taught by the Empress Dowager Huayang since childhood.

He liked the unconstrained silk paintings and was keen on communicating with the Chu scholars in Xianyang. He always gathered a group of Confucian scholars and Mohists around him to absorb their ideas. Even his personality shows the Chu people's "easiness to plagiarize". He always deals with others without thinking, letting his personal subjective emotions prevail. Once he thinks something is wrong with the government, he will still speak out and criticize as he did when he was a child.

Every time he made a comment, Qin Shihuang would frown, especially the time of the Twelve Golden Man. So with a wave of his hand, he drove away all the Confucianists and Mohists around Fusu, and ordered him to enter the school and study the law like a real Master Qin!

But after more than a year, even though Fusu recited the laws and regulations by heart, he only learned the skin of Qin's laws. On the inside, he still had the character of Chu style...

The eldest son was not like himself, and even looked more like the people of Chu than the people of Qin. Qin Shihuang hated that iron could not be transformed into steel, and he was inevitably a little annoyed.

Since you can't change him by putting him in Xianyang, then be cruel and throw him directly to the frontier! Let him see the quicksand desert, taste the hardships of war, get along day and night with the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, and see how they overcame obstacles and expanded their territory after the emperor's order!

He hoped that Fusu could become a true Qin man.

He hoped that his eldest son, who had brought him luck and emotion, could truly understand his father and understand how Qin Shi Huang conquered thousands of miles of mountains and rivers with his own body. What he did and pursued against all opinions. great purpose...

Wherever people go, there is no one who is not loyal to him. His merits are as great as those of the Five Emperors, and his merits are as great as those of cattle and horses. Everyone is virtuous and everyone is in his own place.

Can he understand these thoughts?

Qin Shihuang was so proud that he could not say these words to Fusu in person, he had to experience them personally.

Although he had decided to let Fusu participate in this great war, Qin Shihuang also made some calculations about where the young master should go among the four generals...

If Qin Shihuang had made up his mind to make Fusu the crown prince, he would definitely let him go to Shangjun, where the main force in the decisive battle with the Xiongnu was located. Even as a supervisor, it would be easy for him to have military merit.

But with Fusu's current character, he is by no means an ideal successor.

Nor could he go to Daibei. Fusu and Mengtian had a mutually irreconcilable relationship, so it was taboo for him to associate and work with Qin Shihuang's most trusted general before his successor was decided.

It stands to reason that Li Xin was suitable, but Li Xin was a soldier who liked to advance with light cavalry. He was a sharp knife used to kill the Huns. Qin Shihuang was not willing to send his eldest son into danger.

After much deliberation, only Heifu is the most suitable.

Although Heifu was talented, his starting point was too low. He was from Guizhou Province and did not even have a surname. He had zero foundation in the court and was not in danger of becoming friends with young masters and becoming rich.

In addition, Heifu learned from Wang Jian's steady approach in fighting, and in the battle of Huamachi, he would not take risks if he could avoid them. Although he had no great achievements, he would not make any mistakes. On the contrary, he was more reassuring than Li Xin.

Furthermore, in the eyes of Qin Shihuang, Hei Fu was the complete opposite of Fusu.

Fu Su was born in Qinchuan and grew up in Xianyang, but he was raised by the Empress Dowager Huayang from an early age, making him look like a native of Chu. But Heifu was born in Nanjun and grew up in Chuxiang, but he became a Qin official by reciting laws and regulations, and climbed up the ranks of Qin's military ranks. On the contrary, he was the most typical Qin man!

The tree will be straightened by the rope, and the metal will be benefited by sharpening it. It may be of some benefit to let Fusu and Heifu, a peer of the same age, work together...

…

Hei Fu knelt down in front of the king's bed and waited for a long time, but what he expected was Qin Shihuang's silence for a long time, which made him feel a little panicked. Seeing that Qin Shihuang continued to think deeply, as if he didn't want to speak, he could only bow down and say:

"The eldest son supervises the army, and I and the northern soldiers are honored to do so. It's just that they were afraid of the hardship in the army and neglected the son..."

"Otherwise, when Fusu is in the army, he will be the supervisor of the army, not the son. As for the cold and hard work..."

Qin Shihuang looked at Heifu and said leisurely: "This is exactly what I want him to experience. I only hope that when he returns, he will be less compassionate and hypocritical, and become a resolute and courageous young master!"

"I know it!"

Because he didn't know much about Fusu, Heifu thought about this sentence over and over again, but he was still a little unsure of Qin Shihuang's intention. Was it derogation, experience, or paving the way? He wanted to hear more from the emperor, but unexpectedly, Qin Shihuang waved him off.

"Ha! That's gone now? Where's the drama we promised!?"

Hei Fu was very anxious and felt like he was being stuffed with a hot potato. He could only say: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing!"

Qin Shihuang was a little tired and glared at him unhappily: "What's the matter?"

"It's not a business matter, it's a private matter."

"Oh? Let's talk about it."

Hei Fu cupped his hands and said with a wry smile: "I dare to tell you, my wife will give birth in more than a month, but Hei Fu still has no surname. The wife wrote a letter threatening that if the child is born without a surname, he will use Ye as his surname. I'm sorry! The woman is pressing hard, and I can't do anything. I hope your majesty will grant you a family name!"

Qin Shihuang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and his tiredness disappeared: "What a powerful internal official, Shi Teng, and he actually wants the Beidi County Captain to be his son-in-law?"

But then he had a straight face: "Didn't you say that you were granted the title of Marquis Naishi in the past? Have you forgotten your original intention so quickly?"

Hei Fu said: "I dare not deceive you. Hei Fu himself has no scruples, but he also hopes that his children will be born with a family name..."

When Qin Shihuang heard this, he was silent for a moment and then nodded: "Those who are born without a clan will either be the supreme emperor or the humble head of Guizhou..."

This reason was recognized by Qin Shihuang. He recalled the scene when he ecstatically named Fusu on that stormy night many years ago.

Only when you have your first child can you complete the transformation from a boy to a man. It seems as if you see the continuation of your own life and also give the newborn a different kind of expectation.

Many old ideas have also been changed.

Because of Fusu's birth, he strengthened his fight against his mother and Lu Buwei. He firmly put on the crown on his head, held Tai'a's sword tightly, let it be stained with blood, and slaughtered enemies wantonly, just to save his son from the loneliness and pain of his childhood...

People often criticize him for ruthlessly killing his mother's two illegitimate children, but they don't know that when he saw the two corpses, what Qin Shihuang thought of was:

"If Gu fails, the bloody one is my son Fusu!"

It is better to be cruel and ruthless than to be weak and failed!

It seems that not only himself, but also Hei Husband, who doesn't care about his last name, became particularly concerned when he was about to have children and become a father.

"Okay, the surname is immutable for eternity, but the surname can change from time to time. I will give you a surname first to solve your urgent need!"

Having said that, Qin Shihuang, who had always been serious, showed a rare narrow smile...
