Chapter 43: The Rebellion is Promising(1/2)
Ying Zheng saw that Zhao Kun was looking at him more and more strangely, and subconsciously asked: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Zhao Kun came back to his senses, shook his head, and then said meaningfully: "I just didn't expect my adoptive father to be so broad-minded."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he chuckled. Isn't it normal that he is the emperor of Qin and has a broad mind?
But he was a little curious: "Why do you ask me about my future plans?"
Zhao Kun thought for a while and said: "As the son of his adoptive father, he naturally wants to share his worries."
Ying Zheng's eyes looked a little strange.
"Then how are you going to share my worries?"
"I will do whatever my adoptive father asks me to do."
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes inwardly... Didn't you take fake medicine? Why are your words getting more and more outrageous?
If you are really so obedient, the sun will probably come out in the west.
"Oh? Just do whatever I ask you to do?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then I will let you join the court as an official, are you willing?"
Zhao Kun was stunned: "How can a prince enter the court and serve as an official?"
In his impression, it seemed that the Qin Dynasty did not have a tradition of princes joining the court as officials.
"As long as you are willing, I can help!"
"My foster father is really very capable. Could it be that you want to ask Li Si?"
Ying Zheng was speechless, thinking that Li Si was worthy enough for me to beg him?
However, thinking of his current status, he could only smile vaguely: "Maybe..."
"Princes cannot be officials."
Zhao Kun shook his head and said: "Even if my adoptive father has a way to let me join the court as an official, I will not go."
Ying Zheng frowned and asked, "Why don't you go?"
In fact, it's not that princes can't join the court as officials, but Ying Zheng doesn't want them to be officials.
Because once a prince becomes an official, he must be knighted.
If you have nobility, you will have land, and if you have land, a feudal system will gradually form.
This is not what Ying Zheng wants to see.
Therefore, Ying Zheng's children all live in Xianyang City and cannot go anywhere.
Except for Fusu, who was given the post of Jiuyuan Supervisor when he was demoted, the other sons had no official positions.
Even Hu Hai, Ying Zheng's favorite, was just a prince.
Now he wanted Zhao Kun to join the court as an official, and he obviously wanted to train Zhao Kun.
But Zhao Kun had no such intention, so he shook his head and replied: "From the day I left the palace, I decided not to return to the palace, so it is absolutely impossible to enter the court as an official."
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes: "Why do you have to make this decision?"
Zhao Kun sneered and said solemnly: "Of course it's to save his life."
"Save your life?" Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, suddenly thinking of Zhao Kun being chased, his face darkened, and he said decisively: "Don't worry, my son, as long as your foster father is here, no one can hurt you."
Zhao Kun tilted his head and asked with some confusion: "Why is my adoptive father so kind to me?"
This was the key to his doubts.
In terms of blood relationship, the First Emperor was his biological father.
In terms of master-servant relationship, Wu Cheng is his die-hard loyalist.
In terms of closeness, the above two people are better than this adoptive father.
But this adoptive father was really kind to him, which puzzled him.
Faced with Zhao Kun's question, Ying Zheng didn't know how to answer, but under the current circumstances, it was impossible not to answer.
After all, Zhao Kun is very suspicious, and it's not that easy to deceive him.
After hesitating for a moment, he came up with an ambiguous answer.
"If you tell me, you may not believe it, but my relationship with your mother is not bad."
Ying Zheng said this because he wanted to care about his friend's son from the perspective of a friend.
This situation was very common in ancient times.
For example, before Zhang San died, he entrusted his son to Li Si. Li Si treated Zhang San's son as his own son.
But what Ying Zheng didn't expect was that his words immediately stunned Zhao Kun.
I wipe it!
Could I be the child of my mother and my adoptive father?!
Damn it! This bloody plot actually happened to me!
It makes sense! Everything is explained!
Why is he so nice to me! Because I am his biological son!
Why did my mother commit suicide? Because the First Emperor found out that my mother had cheated on her!
Why am I hated by the First Emperor! Because I am not his son at all!
Stimulate!
So exciting!
It turns out that I still have such a bizarre family ethics drama...
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Kun looked at Ying Zheng with burning eyes, subconsciously reached out to his shoulder and patted him: "Dad, you have suffered a lot these years..."
"Why... why did you call me daddy?"
Ying Zheng was shocked.
But Zhao Kun said suddenly: "Oh, I understand, you don't want to admit it now, do you?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have decided to change my plan and follow you!"
"What?"
Ying Zheng was confused.
"That's your future plan."
Zhao Kun: "Father, let me tell you the truth, the First Emperor's control over the Qin Dynasty is no longer what it once was!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyelids twitched and his blood pressure rose a little.
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that if we plan well, there is great potential for this matter!"
Ying Zheng: “…”
Zhao Kun: "Although the First Emperor got my mother, you still have me, and I will definitely help you realize your wish!"
Ying Zheng: "..." What nonsense is this kid talking about?
"Father, I know you have suffered a lot in these years, but don't worry, it won't be long before all your hardships are over and the joy comes..."
"Seven months!"
As he said that, Zhao Kun made a seven sign to Ying Zheng, and then said categorically: "In seven months at most, our enemy will be dead!"
What he was thinking about was that the First Emperor snatched love and his mother from his adopted father, and in the end he died violently in Shaqiu as karmic retribution.
What Ying Zheng was thinking was, is this kid not crazy? Why did he suddenly open his mouth and talk nonsense?
Seeing Ying Zheng looking at him with a crazy expression, Zhao Kun guessed that he might not know that he had seen through the truth.
After pondering for a moment, he decided to do some ideological work for Ying Zheng first so that he could understand the current situation in Da Qin.
"Do you know, foster father, where the officials of our Great Qin Dynasty come from? Who are the county governors and county magistrates in various places?"
"oh?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, wondering why this guy suddenly became concerned about political affairs again?
Could it be that the enemies he was talking about were the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?
Haha, I'm really thoughtful! I know how to share my father's worries.
"You said they were going to rebel?"
"Shh!"
Zhao Kun was startled and quickly covered Ying Zheng's mouth and looked out the door.
