Chapter 245: Fusu
Xianyang City had been somewhat jittery these past few days.
No one knew what had happened in the Qilin Hall that led Made Ying Zheng to blood-wash all the palace servants in the entire Qilin Hall.
After this matter spread, everyone began to tremble with fear.
They were afraid that if they accidentally annoyed Made Ying Zheng, it would lead to a beheading.
Prince Fusu heard about this matter and immediately came to request an audience with Made Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, Prince Fusu has arrived; shall you see him?"
Watching Zhang Han lowered his head and said to Made Ying Zheng.
Made Ying Zheng rubbed his somewhat tired nose bridge and waved his hand, letting Prince Fusu enter.
Prince Fusu had been learning to handle government affairs during this period.
Upon seeing Made Ying Zheng, he first performed a very perfect bow.
"Father Emperor."
"What is the matter?"
Made Ying Zheng spoke, his voice still low, but much better than it had been a few days ago.
When he had just stopped the elixirs a few days ago, he had felt exhausted and powerless all over.
He had even felt a tingling and itching sensation throughout his body.
Regarding this, Made Ying Zheng could only secretly summon the imperial physician to check the situation. 15
But none of those imperial physicians could figure out what problem had occurred in Made Ying Zheng's body.
To prevent these imperial physicians from leaking the news, Made Ying Zheng directly placed them all under house arrest in the Qilin Hall.
It was only in these past few days that his body seemed to have become more refreshed, and his spirit had improved a little.
"I heard that Father Emperor recently killed all the palace servants in the Qilin Hall."
Prince Fusu directly stated the purpose of his visit this time.
A hint of dissatisfaction was revealed in his eyes.
He felt that his Father Emperor was the most sagacious monarch in the world.
Since he was the most sagacious monarch, he should not do such tyrannical things.
"Hmm?"
Made Ying Zheng heard Prince Fusu's words and looked up at this son of his.
The soft hum carried a hint of pressure.
Seeing this expression from Made Ying Zheng, Prince Fusu immediately thought of the dominance his Father Emperor had in his youth.
"Father Emperor, such tyrannical acts are not what a sagacious monarch should do."
Prince Fusu braced himself against the pressure coming from Made Ying Zheng and said word by word.
Because his elder brother was a pearl of great price, and Fusu did not want to be Emperor,
he read many books, preparing to become a carefree prince after his elder brother succeeded to the throne.
But five years ago, after his elder brother was killed by the Xiongnu,
Fusu felt that the environment he lived in seemed to have changed.
As the only two sons of Made Ying Zheng, he and Hu Hai were naturally approached and tested by those ministers.
Prince Fusu disliked those ministers very much, each one of them looking full of ambition.
He hoped that Made Ying Zheng could properly maintain his health and stay on the throne for a longer time.
"Nonsense, I am the most noble person in this world."
"Who is there that I cannot kill?"
"Let alone a group of servants who serve people."
Made Ying Zheng seemed to have been angered by Prince Fusu's attitude.
He braced himself to sit up from the bed and pointed at Prince Fusu, cursing loudly.
Seeing Made Ying Zheng so angry, Fusu hurriedly knelt on the ground.
But he knelt down not because he had softened his stance.
Fusu still stubbornly said.
"Father Emperor, as a monarch, you should be sagacious and compassionate to the people."
"Today, you brutally killed thousands of palace servants in the Qilin Hall; how is that any different from a tyrant?"
Fusu's body, kneeling on the ground, was straight.
Even facing the furious Made Ying Zheng, he did not choose to retreat.
Beneath Made Ying Zheng's angry face, he hid a hint of appreciation for Fusu in his eyes.
"No need to say more; these people, I killed them, so I killed them."
"I think you have just become stupid from reading too many books; from now on, you will follow by Meng Tian's side."
Made Ying Zheng said to Fusu with dissatisfaction.
Fusu saw that his advice had no effect on his Father Emperor at all, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
After hearing Made Ying Zheng's words, Prince Fusu could only respond softly.
"Prince, take it slow."
Watching Zhang Han said softly to Prince Fusu at the door.
As someone by Made Ying Zheng's side, he naturally knew best what Made Ying Zheng was thinking in his heart.
Don't look at the fact that His Majesty was furious just now.
But regarding Prince Fusu's matter this time, His Majesty should be very satisfied.
Prince Fusu took a look at this popular figure by his Father Emperor's side.
"General, since you are valued by Father Emperor, please help me persuade Father Emperor."
"Father Emperor founded Great Qin and accumulated a lifetime of prestige; it absolutely cannot be destroyed in a moment because of these small matters."
Prince Fusu said earnestly to Watching Zhang Han.
He felt that Watching Zhang Han's words should be more effective than his own.
Watching Zhang Han responded. ===== CHAPTER 247 =====
