Chapter 5 Obviously trying hard to hide strength

Among Ying Zheng's many children, Fusu had the best relationship with Zhao Kun, because Fusu's biological mother, Concubine Zheng, and Zhao Kun's mother were good sisters during her lifetime, and she was also Zhao Kun's adoptive mother.

Therefore, despite having the same father and mother, the relationship between Fusu and Zhao Kun is still very close.

But the current Zhao Kun is no longer the original Zhao Kun.

I don’t know if Fusu can find out the clues.

Although Zhao Kun had been exchanging letters with Fusu for a long time, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he faced Fusu directly.

"Sit down!" Fusu walked to the main seat and sat down, then raised his hand to signal to Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun quickly stepped forward, sat down and began to review: "Brother, I promise to study hard in the future and make progress every day!"

"..."

Hearing Zhao Kun's words, Fusu couldn't help but paused and was dumbfounded while holding the cup to drink tea.

Even though he rarely studied classics of poetry, he instinctively felt that these words were a bit dramatic.

However, he didn't argue with Zhao Kun and asked directly: "Tell me, what happened just now?"

"Nothing, just joking."

"Then hitting the teacher is just a joke?"

"this......"

Zhao Kun scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, it was an accident. I was not feeling well that day and fell asleep in class. The teacher suddenly woke me up. Out of instinct, I accidentally hit him!"

"What instinct?"

"Instinct is a conditioned reflex, such as fear. You didn't see that the teacher's face was wrinkled like tree bark. I thought I was dreaming of a ghost!"

Upon hearing this, Fusu was dumbfounded: "You mean, Teacher Kong Ji looks like a ghost?"

Zhao Kun spread his hands: "I didn't say it, you said it yourself."

Fusu rolled his eyes: "You are sleeping soundly in class, but you put the teacher in your eyes, you are disrespectful, you are not good at school, and you dare to hit the teacher, you should be punished!"

Zhao Kun shook his head and said: "You shouldn't be punished!"

"Why?"

"Brother, the reason why I sleep soundly is not because of me, but because of my nature!"

"Nature?" Fusu was confused.

Zhao Kun looked serious: "As the saying goes, if you are sleepy in spring, sleep in autumn, and take a nap in summer, although humans are the best of all things, they cannot violate the laws of nature!"

"What's more, what Teacher Kong teaches is so boring that it makes people feel sleepy!"

“To sum up, it’s not my fault that I slept soundly. It was actually the right time, the right place, and the right people!”

"..."

Fusu looked at Zhao Kun in astonishment, not expecting him to say such nonsense.

After hesitating for a moment, Fusu asked again: "You just said that what Teacher Kong teaches is too boring. Does that mean you won't go to the palace to study in the future?"

Zhao Kun replied matter-of-factly: "Yes, I'm not an emperor, so why should I learn those things?"

As soon as these words came out, Fusu was dumbfounded.

Fortunately, these words did not reach the ears of the father, otherwise he would definitely have been beaten.

The Emperor of Qin symbolizes the foundation that Ying Zheng worked so hard to create. Everyone is working hard for this foundation, but as a prince, you are so disdainful. It is really treasonous.

"Nonsense!"

Fusu slapped the table and scolded in a low voice: "Don't say such things again in the future!"

Zhao Kun was surprised: "What's wrong?"

He actually said this to dispel Fusu's wariness about him, but he didn't expect Fusu to reprimand him in turn.

"Kundi, I know that you are talented and intelligent. As long as you study hard, you will definitely become a pillar of the country in the future. My father is busy with political affairs and has neglected you, but don't give up on yourself..."

Speaking of this, Fusu paused, and then said meaningfully: "No matter what happened in the past, let him let go of the past!"

Zhao Kun was a little confused: "What do you mean by this?"

He traveled through time and did not inherit the memories of the original Zhao Kun, so he did not know some past events at all.

But Fusu thought he didn't want to mention it, so he changed the subject and said: "It's nothing. I have recommended you to Pinyang to my father. I hope you will seize the opportunity!"

Going to Pinyang?

Pinyang is not that far from Xianyang!

If Hu Hai wanted to kill him in the future, wouldn't it be easy?

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Kun asked tentatively: "Father, do you agree?"

"Not yet."

Fusu smiled helplessly, put down the teacup and said, "But don't worry, I will help you fight for it!"

Zhao Kun panicked now: "Brother, don't fight for it, I can't seize the opportunity."

"Nonsense!" Fusu said seriously: "You should understand what I mean, I believe you."

Zhao Kun: "......"

Seeing Fusu's serious look, he had a bad feeling.

"Besides recommending me to Pinyang with my father, what else have you done?"

"Um?"

"Have you given what I gave you to your father?"

Fusu reacted for a moment, then looked at Zhao Kun with a complicated expression: "Yes."

Zhao Kun raised his hand to his forehead and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm useless."

Damn it, I've obviously tried very hard to hide my strength, why am I still like this!

The shrewd Emperor Shihuang must have noticed that the medicine was unusual.

And possessing that medicine, he would definitely enter his observation range.

This will disrupt your plan to survive for the rest of your life.

It seems that we can no longer stay in this palace.

"I know there is some rift between you and my father, but I am going to Pinyang to save Tong Wuhou!"

Seeing Zhao Kun's uncertain expression, Fusu took the initiative to explain: "Marquis Tongwu is very important to the Qin Dynasty, and he is also very important to his father. If you can save him, you will definitely impress his father."

"Why do you think I can save him?"

"Marquis Tongwu is suffering from a heart disease. If you can read minds, you should be able to understand his thoughts!"

Zhao Kun raised his hand to his forehead and couldn't help but ask: "So you also told my father that I can read minds?"

"If you don't say you can read minds, how could my father let you go to Pinyang?" Fusu asked back.

Zhao Kun really wanted to slap himself in the face for bragging to someone who was not good enough, but bragging to someone who was stupid enough to commit suicide.

Now it’s okay, I’ve trapped myself in it too.

Now he finally knew why Ying Zheng didn't get angry because Fusu turned Ying Zheng's attention to himself.

Sure enough, the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes!

Sighing secretly, Zhao Kun looked at Fusu: "If I go to Pinyang, what are your plans?"

Fusu didn't expect that Zhao Kun would ask him this, so he hesitated and sighed: "Father said that I have no sense of Machiavellianism and can't even understand the ways of kings and ministers. I want to try another way!"

Zhao Kun: "Other way?"

"The Confucianism case is very relevant. Although I can no longer mention this matter to my father, Prime Minister Li Si can!"

"You want to ask Li Si for help?" Zhao Kun was a little surprised.

Fusu nodded and said: "Li Si is highly regarded by the Emperor Father. If he is willing to help, he might be able to change the Emperor Father's mind!"

Zhao Kun was speechless, thinking that his cheap brother was really a political idiot. He couldn't even assess the situation. No wonder he was disliked by Ying Zheng.

However, this may be fate.

Even if I help him divert his attention, he will eventually anger Ying Zheng and be driven out of Xianyang like a moth to a flame.

"Brother, my father is right, you really have no sense of Machiavellianism."

"I don't like Machiavellian tactics either..."

Zhao Kun shook his head: "Powerful people seek power, and those in power seek action. As the eldest son of the emperor, my eldest brother should know some strategies!"

"Haha, you boy is not good at studies, but when it comes to speaking, you are quite eloquent."

Fusu smiled noncommittally: "Okay, you don't have to worry about my affairs. Just wait for the news."

After saying that, he said no more, stood up and left the study.

Zhao Kun looked at his back and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
