Fu Su naturally had to go to Ying Zheng's summons.
Led by the eunuch, Fusu passed through many grand and solemn palaces, heading towards Ying Zheng's palace.
Fu Su did not say anything along the way. He only observed the eunuch beside him.
According to Fu Su's memory, Zhao Gao was originally a eunuch who served his cheap younger brother, Huhai. Because of his quick-wittedness, he was chosen by Ying Zheng and was transferred to serve beside him.
However, Zhao Gao did not have a good reputation in the court.
For example, accepting bribes and slandering others. Even Fu Su did not like him and had asked Ying Zheng to punish Zhao Gao.
However, what kind of person was Ying Zheng? He was not in the mood to manage such a small matter, so he did not take it to heart at all.
"Young Master, we have arrived at the palace."
Zhao Gao bowed and said to Fu Su. His face was full of smiles, and his posture was very humble.
It was really difficult for people to have any ill feelings towards such a person.
"Thank you, Eunuch."
Fu Su took a deep look at Zhao Gao, then walked into the palace.
Zhao Gao maintained his posture until Fu Su's tall figure disappeared. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and a trace of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong with him? He had never been nice to me in the past, but his attitude today is actually so good?”
Zhao Gao was very surprised.
Fu Su had once asked Ying Zheng to punish him, and he had always been cold and indifferent whenever he saw him. But today, he was smiling.
This made him feel a little uneasy.
"His Majesty is in a good mood today. Could it be because of Fu Su?”
"No, we have to ask around…"
Zhao Gao's eyes flickered as he left the palace in a hurry.
……
Seeing Ying Zheng alone in private, Fu Su was still a little nervous.
However, he quickly suppressed the palpitations in his heart. Fu Su's eyes returned to calmness as he strode into the hall with his sleeves folded.
The hall was extremely spacious, and the ground was as clean as a mirror.
Black and red were the main colors of the hall. The quietly burning palace lanterns and the eunuchs and palace maids standing in the hall added a trace of life to the hall.
Fu Su looked up and saw a huge scale.
On one end of the scale was a large stone, and on the other end was a pile of neatly arranged bamboo slips.
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was famous for his diligence.
It was said that he had set up a scale, with one end weighing a hundred catties of stone and the other end holding a bamboo slip.
Every day, he had to deal with government affairs that were heavier than a huge rock before he could rest. Sometimes, he even had to continue dealing with government affairs even after he was heavier than a huge rock.
Fu Su had always thought that this was just a legend in history. He did not expect it to be true.
With a cold heart, he did not immediately look at the stalwart figure behind the mountain of bamboo slips. Instead, he lowered his head and bowed respectfully.
"This subject Ying Fusu greets father."
Fu Su's voice rang out in the hall.
There is no such thing as a son or a minister in Qin. Everyone under the king is a minister!
Behind the wide royal table, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, slowly put down the bamboo slips in his hands and cast his gaze over.
Even though he had his head lowered, Fu Su could still feel the oppressive and majestic gaze.
"Rise, there's no need to be so polite."
Ying Zheng's calm voice rang out, and Fu Su felt the pressure on his body instantly disappear.
"Thank you, Father."
Fu Su heaved a sigh of relief and straightened his body.
Ying Zheng stared at him for a while, then said,""Your words at the court meeting today made me very satisfied.”
"You came up with this idea?”
Fu Su's words had certainly surprised Ying Zheng, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was impossible for Fu Su to have come up with this idea.
This was because Fu Su had always advocated Confucian rites and Confucian theories, and it was impossible for Confucianism to have these things.
"So you're asking about this."
Fu Su heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he took out the excuse that he had already prepared and cupped his hands."Reporting to father, this is indeed not what I thought of.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold, but Fu Su immediately continued.
"I came up with this reasoning after combining the theories of the strategist. Because I feel that although Confucianism is good, it is not suitable for the current era, so I have to study it elsewhere.”
Fu Su said seriously, his eyes clear and bright.
After staring at him for a while, Ying Zheng retracted his gaze, nodded slightly and said,""You should have thought of this long ago."
"What Confucianism, etiquette, those are all pedantic dross!
As the Crown Prince of Great Qin, you can't be tainted by those things. You've lost the most important blood and backbone of our Qin people!”
The sentence that Fu Su said today that made him feel the most satisfied was the sentence," The people of Qin are still brave and never fear other countries!”。
He had always felt that Fu Su lacked courage and was indecisive. Now, he finally saw that Fu Su had changed.
This change made him happier than anything else!
"Alright, it's time to get down to business."
After a while, Ying Zheng restrained his emotions and looked at Fu Su.
"Your words at the court meeting, I thought about it carefully. It is indeed very feasible.”
"However, the Great Tang might not be able to trust Great Qin just by forming an alliance. We need to find a more reliable method.”
"Fusu, what do you think?"
Seeing that Ying Zheng was testing him again, Fu Su answered without thinking,""If we want to form an alliance where both sides trust each other, we can only do so through marriage.”
An alliance formed through marriage was one of the most stable alliances.
"That's right. In that case, you'll represent Great Qin in forming a marriage alliance with the Great Tang Empire.”
Ying Zheng nodded and said.
"What?"
Fu Su was stunned and wondered if he had heard wrongly.
However, Ying Zheng said lightly," You are already past the age of adulthood. It is time for you to start a family. I heard that the Eldest Princess of the Tang Empire, Li Lizhi, is the most beautiful woman in the Tang Empire. She is a perfect match for you."”
"I will write a letter of credence and send it to the Tang Empire to propose marriage to the Tang King. You go back and prepare.”
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Fu Su's face turned stiff.
He said that marriage was a good way, but why did he have to do it?!
She had just transmigrated for less than a day, and she had already arranged a marriage for herself. Moreover, it was a trap that she had dug herself!
For a moment, Fu Su had mixed feelings.
Looking at the complicated expression on Fu Su's face, Ying Zheng's lips curled up slightly, but he soon regained his composure.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. You can leave first.”
Ying Zheng picked up the bamboo slip and said lightly.
"Yes, Father."
Fu Su restrained his expression and could only respectfully agree.
Ying Zheng had always been a man of his word. Since this marriage had already been decided, he had to accept it no matter what. There was no possibility of changing it.
Moreover, he was the one who proposed the marriage alliance. Was he going to slap himself in the face?
Sighing in his heart, Fu Su turned around and bowed.
After Fu Su turned around, Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at his tall and straight figure, a trace of gratification flashing across his eyes.
Then, he turned his attention back to the mountain of memorials in front of him and continued to deal with government affairs.
Before handing Great Qin over to Fusu, he had to stand guard and carry out his duties as a king.
The empty hall was cold and lonely.
Only the lights were like beans, and there was a slight cough echoing within.
Great Qin's future was promising!
