~7 min read 1,342 words

Since he decided to leave this world.

He had stayed in this world for several years after all, and some finishing work had to be done.

After a conversation with Su Xuan, Ying Zheng found Young Master Fu Su for the first time.

"Greetings, Father!"

After seeing Ying Zheng, Fu Su bowed respectfully.

Even though Ying Zheng had been delegating power in recent years and letting him handle state affairs, in Fu Su's mind, the true controller of the Great Qin was always his father, and he dared not overstep in the slightest.

"No need for formalities!"

Ying Zheng's tone was calm.

Fu Su stood up straight and became quiet again, looking as if he was listening quietly to what Ying Zheng had to say.

Ying Zheng sighed in his heart. The Fu Su of this world was not an unteachable rock, but there were still some places that were not good, that is, he had no courage, and in front of him, he was always timid.

Complex emotions flashed through his heart, and Ying Zheng said to Su Xuan: "I asked you to come today to talk about some private matters, about my funeral!"

"Father, why do you say that?" The three words "funeral" reached Fu Su's ears, and Fu Su's expression changed immediately.

Ying Zheng did not pay attention to Fu Su's panic and said to himself: "After I die, you will ascend the throne as Emperor. My funeral should be simplified, and there is no need to gather many laborers to build the imperial mausoleum."

"After you ascend the throne, you can slightly abolish some strict punishments. In my time, because the world was just unified, in order to stabilize the situation, I had to use heavy punishments and cruel laws. If I didn't do that, I couldn't deter those ambitious people in the Six States of Shandong, but after you ascend the throne, you don't have to worry so much... Because of the cruel laws I used during my reign, if you slightly relax the oppression of the people, the people will be grateful to you."

"In this way, you will have prestige among the people, and then the people of the Six States of Shandong will not find it so easy to rebel after I die."

"Regarding military matters, you can consult Meng Tian at that time, and also the Marquis of Tongwu, Wang Ben. Although he has retired, I feel that he can still exert some residual heat. If you really encounter problems that you cannot handle, you can go find him."

"Regarding political affairs, Li Si was originally a talent, but because he colluded with Hu Hai, he has already been given a cup of poisoned wine by me to commit suicide. Fortunately, Feng Quji and others are still alive. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask them all..."

"Besides that, among the people, there are also some talents. Didn't you set up a Juxian Hall? You can try to recruit them."

"In Peixian, there is a county clerk named Xiao He, who is good at internal affairs and has the ability of a prime minister, and there is also the prison officer Cao Can, who is both civil and military and is also a great talent... Fan Kuai, a dog butcher, is brave and can be a fierce general."

"In the land of Yangwu and Huyou, there is a person named Chen Ping, who also has the talent of a prime minister, but this person is good at poisonous schemes. If he cannot be used by you, you must not let him become an accomplice to the remnants of the Six States, and you must kill him at the first opportunity."

"Of course, if you have the opportunity, you can also send someone to Xiapi. There is an old man named Huang Shi who is proficient in military strategy. Among his disciples, there is a person named Han Xin. This person has excellent talent in military strategy. If he grows up, he can be compared to the former Lord Wuan and Marquis Wucheng. He can become the sharpest spear in your hands."

"But if you are prepared to use him, you must be careful. This person has a rebellious bone behind his head. If you find that he is not under your control, you must execute him at the first opportunity!"

Ying Zheng rambled a lot.

Most of these characters were learned from Yi Xiaochuan, and these were all famous figures in original history.

Although Yi Xiaochuan's history was poor, he still knew some of these famous people, and he also knew a little about their endings and their style of dealing with people. Afterward, through Su Xuan's "peeping" into the secrets of heaven, Ying Zheng also had a few more understandings of these people.

If there were no accidents, after the destruction of the Qin Guo, these people would become the backbone of the new dynasty.

But now, Hu Hai, Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang were all dead, and the Qin Guo would not be destroyed so easily. Ying Zheng did not want these people who originally bloomed with great talent in history to disappear like this, so he decided to leave these people to Fu Su.

As for what Fu Su would think after hearing these words from Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng could not care less.

His time was not much.

He also had no intention of looking for these people one by one.

Instead of looking for them himself, it would be better to hand over the heavy responsibility of recruiting these people to Fu Su.

When Fu Su first heard his father say that he would ascend the throne after he died, he wanted to say a few words to show that he did not hope for his father to die and that he had no intention of ascending the throne.

But as Ying Zheng said more, Fu Su gradually became silent. He carefully remembered Ying Zheng's words in his mind, for fear of any omissions.

After explaining these state affairs, Ying Zheng added: "When the Heavenly Star descended that day, Cui Wenzi used the Heavenly Star to refine nine elixirs of immortality. I took one, the National Master took one, and I rewarded Cui Wenzi with one. There are still six elixirs of immortality left. Although this medicine has some drawbacks, such as still dying under weapons after taking it, as long as there are no accidents, it can indeed allow people to live for a long time."

"Since Father has already taken the elixir of immortality, why...?"

When Fu Su heard that Ying Zheng had taken the elixir of immortality, he was first surprised and then had doubts.

That is, if the immortality elixir is true, and Father has taken the elixir of immortality, logically speaking, he will not die, so why explain the funeral?

"You will understand when the time comes."

Ying Zheng did not intend to explain too much and deliberately sold a pass.

Afterward, he took out a wooden box and handed it to Fu Su, "These are the remaining six elixirs of immortality. I hope you can handle them properly..."

"Besides that, I promised Gao Yao a lifetime of wealth and honor. I hope you can treat him well. As for Yi Xiaochuan, let him lay down his armor and return to the fields, and be a wealthy man with peace of mind!"

Fu Su was surprised again when he heard this.

Yi Xiaochuan, that is, Meng Yi.

He was the most handsome guy in his Juxian Hall and could be called his capable general. Since the destruction of Tu'an, he had been staying in the palace, and no one knew what he was doing.

Fu Su originally planned to reuse him another day, but he did not expect his father to let him lay down his armor and return to the fields.

Although he was a little disappointed, this was his father's request, and Fu Su could only follow it.
