Chapter 16: Emperor Shi Huang's shock was too strange
"Can they save Cheng'er?" Li Xian was secretly happy when he saw that his plan succeeded, but he still pretended not to believe it.
She doesn't have a good relationship with Fusu.
Part of the reason is because Fusu hates her natal family.
Another part of the reason is that she hates Chun Yuyue, Shusun Tong and others.
However, she gave birth to two sons and one daughter for Fusu, and Yingcheng was the eldest son. Naturally, her status in the inner house could not be challenged by anyone.
Even if the relationship is not good, both parties must give in and respect each other.
To put it bluntly, Li Xian has no control over whether His Majesty the First Emperor establishes a queen or not.
But in the Fusu Mansion, she is the prince and concubine. Anyone who challenges her status will have their heads cut off by her to see if they are strong enough.
To say too much is to go too far.
According to Ying Cheng's strategy, she must now let Fusu place all his hopes on Chunyu Yue and the others.
How great is the hope, how great is the disappointment.
Fusu couldn't think of anything.
His wife and eldest son will secretly plot against him.
It was also because Li Xian asked aggressively and did not give Fusu time to think carefully, so Fusu fell into it.
"These people are all masters of Confucianism. They are rich in knowledge. They are more than enough to be my doctor in Da Qin. They will definitely be useful."
Fusu said, and ran to the study room in a hurry, picked up a pen and started writing a handwritten letter.
After writing, he also told Li Xiandao: "Madam, you can use this letter to seek help from Mr. Chun and Mr. Shusun."
"We will definitely try our best to rescue Cheng'er!"
"Okay, I will leave now and prepare a generous gift. My husband, please leave the other matters alone. Don't risk being banned again and anger Your Majesty."
The treacherous plan succeeded. Li Xian did not forget to remind Fusu before leaving.
Fusu opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but Li Xian had already left in a hurry.
At the gate of Fusu Mansion, ten carriages and dozens of servants were waiting, pulling ten carriages of various treasures, waiting for Li Xian's order to go to Xianfeng Pavilion.
It can be said that the predecessor of Xianfeng Pavilion was the Lixian Pavilion run by the former master Fusu.
After the Lixian Hall was ordered to be closed by the First Emperor and the staff was demobilized, various people surrounded Fusu.
Xianfeng Pavilion came into being naturally.
The scale is not as large as the former Lixian Hall, but it is basically filled with Confucian elites.
The mighty young master Fusu Mansion's motorcade headed towards the famous place of Xianyang.
The commotion caused was naturally huge.
Zhangtai Palace!
A room full of silk books and bamboo slips.
Facing this vast sea of books, the First Emperor sat quietly next to a piece of writing.
Look at one, throw one away, and pick up another next to it.
An eunuch hurriedly picked it up and put the documents neatly next to him.
Another eunuch saw that the pile of documents was almost gone, so he hurriedly moved a pile over.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Han wants to see you!" Zhao Gao reported cautiously.
"I told you, I won't see anyone in three days!" The First Emperor stretched his arms impatiently.
Today, the next unification creates this unprecedented situation.
He had no way to learn from it, so he could only try something new and innovative.
Every time this happens, it's difficult.
The fourth eastward inspection tour just concluded this year, and it has been nearly ten years since the decree was issued.
However, his four tours to the east, leading China and ruling the world, only made him more and more uneasy.
There are thirty-six prefectures and counties in the world, and the officials of each prefecture and county are personally appointed by him. They are all knowledgeable and talented people who govern the local area.
The world is unified, the officials govern clearly, and the laws are strict. It is a time of great governance for the world, and the Qin Dynasty's national power is booming.
But now Da Qin.
The war still rages, and rebellions continue everywhere.
The people's vitality in farming has weakened, and the tiger and wolf forces that once feared the six countries are also weakening year by year.
Da Qin was sick, and the people of Qin were sick, but he didn't know why.
Too many people only saw him as the most noble man in the world who conquered the world, swept across the world, unified the world, became the first emperor of the ages, created achievements for the ages, and was the most noble person in the world.
But no one saw it.
In charge of this boundless territory, he was cautious, walking on thin ice.
Hearing Ying Cheng's words for the first time from the spy's report, it seemed that for a moment, he found the direction that had been troubling him.
Is Qin’s law no longer suitable for today’s world?
he does not know!
But he wanted to find the answer from the vast sea of documents.
"Your Majesty, we have gathered a secret report, and the eldest princess went to Xianfeng Pavilion with ten carts of gifts in great fanfare."
Zhao Gao did not dare to say more and hurriedly relayed Zhang Han's words.
The First Emperor frowned, put down the bamboo slips in his hands, nodded and said: "Xuan!"
soon.
Zhang Han, a tall, thin and capable young man, walked in.
"No need to be polite, just say it straight." The First Emperor raised his hand to reject all complicated etiquette.
Zhang Han quickly handed over the secret report and replied succinctly: "Your Majesty, the eldest concubine went to the prison of Tingwei and talked with Mr. Cheng for half a moment."
"Then I returned to the eldest son's house and asked Master Su to seal the letter and mobilize private soldiers to rob the prison of Tingwei."
"After some entanglement, Mr. Fusu wrote a handwritten letter, and the eldest son's concubine took the handwritten letter and went to Xianfeng Hall with a heavy gift."
The First Emperor carefully read the secret report, his eyes flashed, and asked: "Can we find out who instigated what Ying Cheng said?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no way to investigate this matter. However, I found an interesting thing in Fusu Mansion, which may be corroborative."
Zhang Han shook his head and did not beat around the bush, so he reported:
"Young Master Fusu is always on the road, and the affairs of Fusu Mansion are generally controlled by the eldest son and his concubine."
"Three years ago, the eldest concubine personally selected three maids for Young Master Cheng to be responsible for his food, clothing and daily life, and ordered the rest not to participate."
"There is nothing suspicious about this matter."
"But I accidentally discovered that there were many books in Chenggongzi's courtyard, so I paid more attention and investigated carefully and found out."
"In the past three years, the eldest son's concubine secretly moved into a warehouse and secretly transferred more than 10,000 volumes of books from the city's son's courtyard."
"Not only the books in the eldest son's residence were also sent to the Guocheng Prince's Courtyard."
"There are also books in the imperial garden, in the palace, in the prime minister's house, and in the collections of many ministers in the court. All of them were sent to the courtyard of the Prince of the City by the eldest concubine in the name of Prince Fusu."
"The reason why it is not known to anyone is that these books were transported away after not staying in the Chenggongzi courtyard for a long time, so no one paid attention to it."
"The servants in the eldest son's house rarely come into contact with the city master, and no one knows about it."
The First Emperor's brows were furrowed. He had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to confirm it and said: "What do you mean?"
"Weichen is just a guess, there is no way to confirm it!" Zhang Han hesitated:
"Young Master Cheng is very likely to be naturally intelligent, self-taught, and even have a photographic memory."
"Good morning, I have already read the tens of thousands of books in the collection, and my heart is full of gaps!"
"What is said in the Prime Minister's Mansion is not the instigation of others, but what the Lord Cheng is thinking in his heart!"
As soon as these words came out.
Even the First Emperor, who was sitting calmly beside the desk, couldn't help being shocked.
If the result is indeed as Zhang Han investigated and guessed.
This eldest grandson has already read thousands of volumes of books.
