After the court session, Guo Peng went to the inner palace as usual to prepare medicine for the Qin Emperor.
With the ready-made materials, Guo Peng threw the prepared Five Stones Powder into a special tool and presented it to Ying Zheng.
At this moment, Qin Shihuang was leaning back in his chair in a Ge You lying position. He happily took a sip of the medicine that Guo had just concocted. Every time he took a sip, he felt an indescribable pleasure surge into his heart.
How comfortable.
There was probably nothing more satisfying than this in the world.
"Your Majesty, I heard that your birthday is in a few days. Is that true?”
Guo Peng stood at the side for a moment before asking casually. After so many days, he was quite familiar with the Qin Emperor and often chatted casually like this.
"Oh? Who did Minister Guo hear about it?"
"I overheard a minister mentioning it during the morning court session.”Mr. Guo said casually. After all, he couldn't possibly say that he heard it from the Mo family, right?
Qin Shihuang would punish him for colluding with wanted criminals.
Ying Zheng smiled and said," Indeed. According to the usual practice, a birthday banquet will be held in a few days. All the civil and military officials and nobles will be attending. This matter will be arranged by the Young Lord's Mansion. In a few days, you will naturally know about it."”
"So that's how it is. This subject is ignorant.”Guo Peng had a look of realization.
In her heart, she was thinking that the Mo family was serious.
Taking advantage of the birthday banquet to sneak in and assassinate Qin Shihuang?
A certain Guo Mou was imagining some tricks in his mind. Of course, most of them were too risky. He might not really do it when the time came, but he would definitely get credit for saving the emperor.
On the surface, Guo was very serious. He cupped his hands and said,"When the time comes, this lowly subject will definitely prepare a suitable birthday gift for Your Majesty.”
"Haha, I'm looking forward to Minister Guo's birthday gift!”Ying Zheng could not help but laugh out loud. Of course, he didn't expect Guo Peng to take out anything more precious than the three treasures he had.
After all, how could there be so many treasures in the world, and all of them were obtained by Guo Peng alone?
However, Guo Peng had given him too many surprises. Even though he knew that it couldn't be more precious than those three treasures, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Your Majesty, please wait and see!" Guo Peng smiled, but his mind was recalling the things he had taken from the modern world.
At that time, any one of them would be enough to open the eyes of Ying Zheng, a country bumpkin.
……
The rain had just stopped when they came out of the inner palace.
Because of the rain, other than Guo Peng, many officials stayed in the Qin Palace to deal with some of the accumulated administrative matters. They were not in a hurry to leave. Now that the rain had stopped, these people came out of the palace one after another.
In the past, when the other ministers went back, Guo Peng had to go to the inner palace. Every time he went back, it would be close to noon. Sometimes, when he was having a good time, Ying Zheng would even ask him to stay in the Qin Palace for lunch.
Even though most people felt that this was a rare honor, to me, this was a chance to interact with Great Qin's important officials.
"The lords haven't returned yet?"
"So it's Minister Guo. Your Excellency doesn't dare to accept it. Some of the accumulated government affairs might as well be dealt with while it's raining. It'll save trouble when we go back.”
"Sir Guo just came out from His Majesty's place? I really envy His Majesty's favor and trust towards Daren.”
"This time, Lord Guo's paper making technique has broadened our horizons. This is a great event that will benefit all scholars in the world. It's only a matter of time before we leave our names in history.”
……
As soon as he left the Qin Palace, he met a few officials who were traveling together. Naturally, he had to greet them.
Guo Peng was the Qin Emperor's favorite minister, and now he had gained fame by relying on his paper making skills. These officials naturally did not hold back their praise.
Some of them were reserved because of their rich backgrounds and qualifications. They used their surnames and official positions. Those who did not have a strong background did not care at all. They kept calling him an adult and flattered him. They were as humble as bootlickers.
He had always been a bootlicker, and now that he finally had his own bootlicker, he was very happy. Of course, he could not help but say some good things.
After all, the world was full of people.
Just as they were chatting, a crowd suddenly gathered in the distance.
"Greetings, Young Master Fusu."
"Milords, there's no need to be so polite.”
Young Master Fu Su was indeed a very gentle and refined person. He was very polite to everyone, and it was difficult for anyone to have any ill feelings towards him.
It was Guo Peng's first time seeing Fu Su. After greeting Fu Su in a group of people, the other party returned a gentle smile, which was like a spring breeze.
It had to be said that Fu Su was a very good person. It was easy for people to have a good impression of him.
Even Mr. Guo had to admit that.
However…
On the surface, Guo Peng revealed a happy smile, as if he was deeply infected.
However, he was sneering in his heart.
He quietly stepped back and watched coldly as Fu Su walked to Meng Tian's side. The two of them chatted happily and rode in the same carriage. The sound of their laughter did not dissipate even after the carriage had driven far away.
Fu Su was really too close to Meng Tian.
If it was in the past, Qin Shihuang would have nurtured Fu Su as his successor.
But now, would Ying Zheng, who was deeply involved in the longevity medicine scam and refused to extricate himself, still focus on grooming an heir?
This could be seen from the fact that Qin Shihuang had ordered a reduction in labor for the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum of Mount Li and the renovation of Epang Palace.
Fu Su's situation was actually very dangerous.
Of course, he only thought about it for a moment. Guo Peng did not have any thoughts of harming Young Master Fusu right now.
Although it was not difficult to operate.
However, when one thought about how Jiang Chong, who had single-handedly orchestrated the curse of witchcraft and killed Crown Prince Liu Ju during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, ended up in such a miserable state, one would know. This kind of thing was absolutely not allowed to happen when Emperor Qin was alive.
After all, they were father and son. If you killed their son and didn't do anything to you back then, who else would you do if you didn't do anything to him?
He didn't want to do anything right now. After all, changing meant greater risks. It was safer to follow the trend and follow it step by step.
Anyway, Fu Su had long been brainwashed by Confucianism. In history, an edict that could not be confirmed to be true or false could make him commit suicide without hesitation. Should he be called naive or stupid? Although he was at the frontier fortress, far away from the center of Xianyang, he still had Meng Tian and hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the Great Wall! Anyone with the slightest ambition or courage would rebel, right?
And he actually committed suicide without hesitation?
What was there to worry about?
He wasn't worthy of being his opponent.
