Hearing that Zhao Tuo wanted to hear the reason why the prince was wrongly accused, Wu Jian calmly arranged his clothes, bowed to Zhao Tuo, and then explained:
"Your Majesty, you only have such a son. Will this throne not belong to the Crown Prince in the future? Does the Crown Prince have to usurp the throne and stand on his own initiative? Now our country in South Vietnam is careless under the power of the Qin army. Your Majesty, you are powerless. Could it be that the Crown Prince cannot see all this?
Have you arrived? At this time, if we usurp the throne and stand on our own feet, we have to face this unsolvable dilemma. Doesn’t the Crown Prince understand that the current dilemma is beyond his ability to solve? Your Majesty, I, South Vietnam, can no longer stand the trouble!"
After Wu Jian finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Tuo sincerely, and saw Zhao Tuo slowly lowering his head. It was obvious that Wu Jian's words had touched Zhao Tuo.
"Your Majesty, I think there must be a reason for this. There must be spies from the Qin State behind this matter. Why are the people in South Vietnam spreading crazy rumors about the King and the Crown Prince for a while? I will never believe it if no one is adding fuel to the flames.
My king, please think about it, if it can disturb the harmonious atmosphere of our South Vietnam, it will be equivalent to the loss of tens of thousands of our South Vietnam soldiers for the Qin army."
After listening to what Wu Jian said, Zhao Tuo fell into silence.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Tuo realized that he was a little impulsive. Although Zhao Tuo had already thought that he might have been deceived by Fusu, he still did not dare to release Zhao Shi rashly. After all, Zhao Shi's suspicion had not been completely cleared.
What's more, the prince has been imprisoned by himself. If he is released too quickly, it will damage his majesty.
So Zhao Tuo decided to punish the prince and stay in prison for a few days. After the Tingwei Office made a decision, he would find an opportunity to release the prince and a group of South Vietnamese military captains.
Ten days later, Tingwei reported the results of the interrogation to Zhao Tuo.
Except for some complaints against Zhao Tuo, Ting Wei found no conclusive evidence that Zhao Shi was rebellious. Zhao Tuo's hanging heart also fell to the ground.
Over the past few days, although Zhao Tuo realized that he had been deceived by Fusu, Zhao Tuo's heart had been hanging on until Zhao Shi's suspicion was completely cleared.
will be true.
For a monarch like Zhao Tuo, the rebellion of his own son is more terrifying than the attack by the Qin army. The Qin army only kills people, but the rebellion of his own son is even more heart-wrenching. While waiting for news from Tingwei,
Zhao Tuo was restless, feeling guilty that he might wrongly accuse his son, and also afraid of what the outcome of Tingwei's trial would be.
Several times, Zhao Tuo wanted the imperial officer to give up interrogating the prince, but each time he chose to give up just before the final edict was issued. Because in Zhao Tuo's view, no matter whether the prince's rebellion was true or not, it was something he had to face.
.
After learning that the prince was unjustly accused, Zhao Tuo came to the Tingwei Office accompanied by a group of guards, preparing to personally welcome the prince out of prison.
When Zhao Shi walked out of Tingwei Prison accompanied by a group of prison officers, he saw Zhao Tuo and his party coming to greet him at a glance. Zhao Shi hurried to Zhao Tuo to salute:
"The guilty minister Zhao Shi pays homage to the king." Zhao Shi said this and bowed to the ground.
Seeing his son acting trembling in front of him, Zhao Tuo felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
"Shi'er, my father wrongly blamed you, and I apologize to you."
"Your Majesty, Zhao Shi is aware of his crime, and the guilty officials dare not blame your Majesty."
After staying in Tingwei Prison for a few days, Zhao Shi understood a lot. Zhao Shi also realized an important truth: there is no family affection in a prince's family.
When Zhao Shi learned that his grievances had been redressed, he did not show much excitement. At this time, Zhao Shi felt more in awe of the king and less close to his father.
Only at this moment did Zhao Tuo understand that Zhao Shi's heart was already estranged from his own. He had driven a nail into his son's heart. Although he had pulled out the nail in Zhao Shi's heart, the nail hole was still there.
But I can't get rid of him.
A few days later, Fusu, who was in Bushan County, learned about the farce between Zhao Tuo and his son, and felt sad for a while. Although he had achieved his goal, he still felt a little guilty for using a trick to alienate the relationship between father and son.
In attacks between great powers, all kinds of conspiracies will be used, but it is indeed a bit cruel to use conspiracies to directly expose human nature.
Fusu thought of his eldest son, Ziying, and then of Yu Ji and the child in her belly.
Fusu has been training Ziying according to the standards of the future King of Qin, but he has never asked Ziying what he really thinks. Although Ziying was the child of Fusu and the Wang family before he traveled through time, he is now Ziying's.
Father, he must give more care to Ziying. Once he becomes the king, he will be truly alone, and even family ties will become a luxury. Is this kind of life really what Ziying pursues?
After some thought, Fusu decided to spend some time with Ziying after returning to Xianyang to understand the child's true thoughts, and then decide in which direction to train Ziying.
Fusu thought that he and Yu Ji would have a child soon, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
Since leaving Xianyang, Fusu has missed Yu Ji every day. Even though he has been busy attacking South Vietnam, Fusu will take the time to write a letter to Yu Ji and send a fast horse to Xianyang.
In the letter, Fusu expressed his longing for Yu Ji and his expectations for his unborn daughter. In fact, Fusu did not know whether Yu Ji would give birth to a son or a daughter, but he still assumed that it would be a daughter.
On this day, Yu Ji, who was far away in Xianyang, received a letter from Fusu. When Yu Ji saw the title Fusu gave to her future daughter in the letter, she was deeply moved.
"Princess Wuyou" Yu Ji couldn't help but read it out.
From her daughter's title, Yu Ji saw Fusu's love for this unborn little life, and Yu Ji also saw Fusu's beautiful longing for the Qin State under his rule.
Looking back on the 500-year history of the Qin Dynasty, how many clan girls were forced to make marriages. Fusu once vowed to Yu Ji that the history of marriages between the princesses of the Qin Dynasty would come to an end with him.
Looking at Fu Su's letter, Yu Ji's heart had already flown to South Vietnam, thousands of miles away. Yu Ji knew that Fu Su was a person with great feelings, so she did not rely on Fu Su for everything, but this did not mean that Yu Ji
The love for Fusu in her heart will decrease. Since Fusu left Xianyang, Yu Ji will tell the story of Fusu to the fetus in her belly every day, starting from the time she was kidnapped by Fusu in Lujiang Town, and continuing to herself.
When I get together with Fusu, I still have my longing for Fusu and Fusu's feelings for a great country...
