"When I was working in the Helan Mountain area, I heard from the soldiers that there was a kind of eagle in the area. It was huge and could carry away lambs and children. They built their nests on cliffs and had only one mate in their lives. They usually only raised one baby at a time. eagle."

Heifu told his wife the story he heard when he was in Saibei.

"The eagle takes care of its young eagles for six months until their wings are fully fledged, and then teaches them to fly. Usually the male eagle circles around the nest for demonstration, and the female eagle urges the young eagles to follow suit."

As he spoke, he also looked outside the house where the sun was flooding the courtyard. Heihu was standing in his thirties, and his eldest son Polu was also four years old. He was playing with his second son Fubo, who was just over a year old and staggering around. Their carefree giggles are warmer than the spring sunshine.

The wife was also looking at the children, fearing that they would fall down and cry in the next moment. The two looked at each other and smiled at each other. Hei Fu continued:

"However, the young eagle is afraid of the hundred-foot-high cliff and does not dare to spread its wings. This has happened several times. At this time, the eagle will either peck or tap and push the young eagle off the cliff!"

"ah!"

Ye Zijin was surprised: "This eagle is also cruel. What if it throws this young eagle to death? Wouldn't there be no future for it?"

"If it falls to death, it is no longer an eagle."

Heifu laughed and said, "This is to force the young eagle to spread its wings. Since it doesn't dare to fly, then force it to fly!"

Although the young eagle will not be able to figure out how to fly for a while, there is a strong updraft under the cliff. As long as it can spread its wings and flap a few times, at least it will not fall to death.

After telling the story of the eagle in the north of Saibei, Heifu said: "His Majesty the Emperor is like the eagle father, and Fusu is like the eagle's son. In my opinion, Your Majesty is forcing Young Master Fusu to push him out of the comfortable nest of Xianyang. Push him down the abyss and force him to fly!"

If you want to guess the emperor's complex political thoughts, then save it. Hiding your own thoughts and waiting for the "smart people" who can get it wrong to jump out one by one is the basic ability of a monarch.

But if Qin Shihuang's identity is regarded as a "father", and based on Heifu's understanding of Qin Shihuang and Fusu, the intention of his operation is not difficult to guess.

Chinese-style parents emphasize that a tiger father has no dog son, and a proud eagle wants a true eagle son.

They will have expectations for future generations and let them go in the direction they think is "right".

The emperor's expectations for Fusu were undoubtedly great. Before the northern expedition to the Xiongnu, Qin Shihuang summoned Heifu and said to him, "Foreseeing the difficulty of farming is easy."

However, the princes, princes and grandsons have never looked at a piece of soil and cultivated a seedling. I don’t know how many months it will take to harvest it. How can I be aware of the rest of the world?

The same is true for military matters. If you only hear about the good news thousands of miles away, but don't go out with the army together, hear the golden drums shaking the sky, and see the smoke billowing from the wolves, how can you know the difficulty of military affairs and the necessity of driving the Xiongnu from the north of the Ming Dynasty?

These are all things the emperor wants Fusu to know. He hopes that after Fusu goes through these things, when he returns, he will be less compassionate and hypocritical, and become a resolute and courageous young master!

That time when Fu Su was serving as a supervisor, he was obviously more experienced than criticized.

But things were different from what the emperor thought. After Fusu returned, he was indeed more practical and less empty talk. However, this son's stubbornness was very similar to that of Qin Shihuang after witnessing the battle. On the contrary, he was more convinced that although the country was big, it was good for him. Fighting leads to death. After seeing the hard work of the garrison soldiers and laborers, I believed that appropriate relaxation is the correct way to govern the country.

Fusu also held different opinions from Qin Shihuang in his attitude towards Baijia, and repeatedly gave advice, which made Qin Shihuang very angry.

In the eyes of Qin Shihuang, the eagle should soar in the sky, be arrogant, have eyes that can reach thousands of miles, and control the overall situation, but what about Fusu? But he looked at the chickens, ducks and birds on the ground with compassion, and even compared his feelings with his own. How could such a person govern the country?

So, just like an eagle pushing its young eagle off a cliff, this appointment as a general was the final test that Qin Shihuang, as a father, gave to his son Fusu!

He seemed to be saying: "Okay, you kid is whispering in my ears every day. This is not okay and that is not okay. You can do it, come on!"

With that said, he kicked Fusu out of the nest!

Fusu was also confused at this moment, but he had to go to the desolate northern Xinjiang to do something completely unfamiliar.

It was a bit funny, but Heifu couldn't laugh when he thought about it. Using tens of thousands of lives to test his son's skills was too childish, but the way he did things was indeed very Qin Shihuang.

What's more, with the addition of Yang Duanhe and Heifu, one in front and one behind, the worst case scenario will not lead to the complete annihilation of the army.

Of course, this was just Heifu's guess, but he felt that it was probably not much different from the emperor's idea.

He also explained to his wife the difference between a supervisor and a general.

"The supervisor only needs to supervise the grain and the generals, and does not need to make decisions. It is not a difficult task for Fusu."

"But it's different as a general. You have tens of thousands of lives in your hands. When you go on an expedition to a foreign land, you will encounter countless difficulties and obstacles, which will make you anxious. You need to make temporary decisions. You must always consider the pros and cons of the army."

Heifu had led a partial army and served as a general, so he certainly knew the difficulties.

In particular, as a general, you must put away your kindness. If you are kind and do not command troops, if you are kind to the soldiers but cannot use them, if you love them but cannot command them, if you are in chaos but cannot control them, you are like a arrogant man who cannot be used, let alone fight. Yes, it is difficult to march on time every day.

Sometimes, the general's decision will allow some people to live and others to die, so you must harden your heart and know the choice.

If you are merciful to the enemy, you may let the tiger return to the mountain, suffer the consequences, or even be wiped out.

"Perhaps His Majesty hopes that Young Master Fusu can learn to be benevolent, recognize benefits, and make decisions after holding power in his hands and shouldering responsibilities and human lives on his shoulders."

It was also a coincidence that this Battle of Northeast China, which should not have happened in history, was indeed the best trial copy.

It was not only Fusu's character that was tested, but also three points.

"The ability to use people, diplomacy, and attitude towards rebellion..."

Right now, Fusu should be on his way to Liaodong. However, the situation he has to face is that the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals. In a short period of time, Fusu must, under the guidance of Yang Duanhe, get to know his captains, and then understand their talents: who is reliable, who is aggressive, who is timid, and put them in the right position. This is a test of the ability to employ people.

In midsummer, the army went out for battle. After arriving in Jizi North Korea, Fusu had to learn how to treat this small border country. Of course, you can fight all the way, but the best option is to use both kindness and power to force North Korea to obey, let the Qin army pass, and provide food and clothing. After all, this North Korea is not a later North Korea, but a descendant of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, a lineage of China. This is a test of diplomacy.

When he arrived in Canghai, he faced the small states that had participated in the assassination of Qin Shihuang and the exiled anti-Qin people. The emperor's order was: Kill them! Whether he can be ruthless enough to carry out Qin Shihuang's will and brutally destroy those "rebels" is also a test.

If Fu Su can pass all the above points, he may be able to wash away the bad impression he left on Qin Shihuang, gain his father's approval, and come out on top in the battle for the right to inherit the throne that has already begun...

"What if the young master can't do it?"

Hearing this, while sighing with emotion that his beloved had such a detailed understanding of the emperor's heart, Ye Zijin also raised his head and asked:

"If he has Yang Duanhe and the two of them as his wings, he still won't be able to fly?"

She was not at all concerned about the fate of the young master Fusu. What she was concerned about was whether the son of the eagle, who fell into the abyss in the eyes of the emperor, would drag Hei Fu into the water as well...

Heifu pondered: "If he cannot withstand this test, he is not a real eagle, but a chicken. He was put in the eagle's nest by mistake, so that he can see the distant view on the peak, but he does not have the power to live on the peak."

"If this is the case, for Your Majesty, it would be better to let it fall directly and lose the chance to be an eagle forever than to let it live in pain and sorrow in the wind all its life!"

He took his wife's hand and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't fall to death with him!"

Ye Zijin also smiled back: "That's natural, of course a beloved person wouldn't do it!"

The afternoon gossip came to an end, and the sons were calling out to their mother. It turned out that the bamboo horse was broken by the two young ancestors.

Ye Zijin was about to go out to take care of the baby, but before she went out, Heifu said again.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"Um?"

"The story I just told you about. Although the eagles in Saibei only raise one young eagle, they don't just lay one egg at the beginning. Instead, they select the strongest one among several young eagles. Feed. Because Saibei is desolate and the food is limited, we can only feed one. Do you know what will happen to the other eaglets?"

Ye Zijin sighed: "Could it be that they were all pushed off the cliff by the strongest eagle and fell to death?"

"That's right."

Hei Fu nodded: "For an eagle, fratricide starts from birth. But being born in an emperor's family is a thousand times more dangerous than being born in an eagle's lair of a hundred feet! An eagle fell to death because it could not spread its wings. Immediately, Countless eaglets will stand up and show their wings to His Majesty!"

"The eagle flies in the sky, while the chicken roosts in the pond. It seems lofty, but it is also cruel."

Ye Zijin felt a little emotional and looked at the two carefree children in the courtyard.

"In my opinion, an eaglet is not as good as a chick. At least the chicks can play freely in the henhouse."

Hei Fu shook his head: "But chickens may be plundered by eagles or killed by people. Even if they grow up, they are still in danger. Do you want your child to be a chicken that is slaughtered by others?"

"If it were my child."

Ye Zijin looked at the two sons playing in the yard, his eyes full of maternal love.

“I don’t want them to be eagles who have to mutilate their flesh and blood and are often thrown to death if they don’t fly. I also don’t want them to be chickens who are allowed to be slaughtered and cannot control their own lives.”

Heifu asked curiously: "Then what do you want them to be?"

Ye smiled like a little girl and saluted the black husband. Her clothes were as dark as ink and her neck was slender, like an elegant black swan:

"I hope they are soaring swans, unable to be shot by arrows or caught by eagles, and free and easy!"
