Chapter 626

Following Ying Zheng's decision these past few days to entrust the Ninth Prince, Ying Ziyu, with the task of cleaning up the remnants of the Six States and the various schools of thought within the Great Qin, almost the entire Great Qin now knew of this matter.

For a time, the various generals and officials within the Great Qin began to waver, unsure whether they should change their stance and stand on the side of the Ninth Prince, Ying Ziyu.

The residence of the eldest son.

After Fusu heard that Ying Zheng had handed the task of exterminating the remnants of the Six States and the members of the various schools of thought who had betrayed the Great Qin to Ying Ziyu.

Even the usually gentle and refined Fusu began to lose his composure at this moment.

After all, he was the eldest son! He was Ying Zheng's first son!

According to tradition and the classics, the future Crown Prince and the future King of Great Qin should undoubtedly be him, Fusu!

But now that Ying Zheng had given this task to the Ninth Prince, Ying Ziyu, Fusu could naturally guess Ying Zheng's intention to name Ying Ziyu as the Crown Prince.

"Why?? Why on earth is this happening??!!"

"Everything was clearly fine, but ever since Ying Ziyu appeared, everything has been shattered by him!!!"

"I am the eldest son; all of this should be done by me!!!"

"Why does Ying Ziyu have to come and compete with me? Wouldn't it be better for him to just be a good-for-nothing in peace??!!"

Fusu vented frantically in his room, thinking about all the things that had happened during this period, and Ying Zheng's attitude, which had been drifting further and further away from him.

Fusu's heart had already begun to darken; he felt that everything he possessed had been snatched away by Ying Ziyu.

Now, the hatred in Fusu's heart for Ying Ziyu had begun to affect his ability to think.

Just as Fusu was still frantically venting his unwillingness and anger, Lord Changping walked straight in.

Seeing Fusu, who had made the room a complete mess, a trace of displeasure appeared in Lord Changping's eyes.

Lord Changping felt that Fusu was still too immature.

Fusu's current appearance was something that absolutely should not be seen on him.

After all, no matter how much Ying Zheng liked the Ninth Prince, Ying Ziyu, the position of Crown Prince of the Great Qin was still vacant.

It had not been decided yet.

This meant that Fusu did not have zero chance, but if Fusu continued to give up on himself like this.

Then he would truly have no chance at all for the position of Crown Prince.

"Enough!"

Lord Changping shouted loudly at Fusu.

"If you are struck down like this by just this little situation, how will you manage the entire Great Qin in the future?!"

"How will you become the King of Great Qin??!!"

Hearing Lord Changping's words, the furious Fusu realized that Lord Changping was actually standing at the doorway.

Seeing Lord Changping, Fusu acted as if he had seen a life-saving straw; he immediately walked toward Lord Changping, grabbed his hand, and said:

"What should I do?? What should I do???"

"His Majesty no longer pays any attention to me; all his thoughts are on my ninth younger brother."

"Everything I have is about to be taken away by Ying Ziyu!"

Fusu's eyes had already turned red from tension.

Countless bloodshot veins were expanding hideously in Fusu's eyes.

Looking at the disheveled Fusu before him, Lord Changping sighed slightly.

He truly could not connect the Fusu before him with the gentle and refined eldest son of the past.

"Fusu, you must not continue in this state."

"You must adjust your state quickly and return to your former self."

"The throne has not been completely decided yet; only you and Ying Ziyu are qualified to be the Crown Prince."

"If you keep acting like this, as soon as His Majesty sees it, you will have no more value in his heart!"

Lord Changping said to Fusu in a tone of earnest advice.

Upon hearing Lord Changping's words, Fusu's body froze.

It was true that for the past few days, Fusu had been trapped in deep resentment and unwillingness.

He had even developed deep self-doubt; it could be said that if no one managed him, he might have given up on himself before long.

Now that Fusu heard Lord Changping's words, it was as if he had been enlightened.

After thinking for a while, the look in Fusu's eyes was finally no longer dejected, and a trace of confident expression radiated from his eyes once again.

"I was possessed."

"Thank you, Lord Changping, for your guidance!"

Fusu seemed to have returned to his usual self, bowing to Lord Changping very politely.

Although Fusu appeared to have returned to his former self, in his heart, the kindness of the past had been completely abandoned.

Now, what Fusu thought about was to gain Ying Zheng's recognition and firmly grasp the vacant position of Crown Prince in his hands.

Observing Fusu's change, Lord Changping nodded with satisfaction.

As long as Fusu could quickly change his attitude, there would still be opportunities!

"Good, now what you need to do is to return to your former self."

"Then let His Majesty see that even if you know His Majesty favors Ying Ziyu and intends to give the position of Crown Prince to Ying Ziyu."

"This has no impact on you at all!"

"Right now, His Majesty must have already sent people to observe your every move; you must let His Majesty know the magnanimity in your heart!"

"As for the matter of Ying Ziyu, just leave it all to me!"

Lord Changping looked at Fusu before him and revealed a smile.

Hearing Lord Changping's words, Fusu nodded gently, then frowned and asked Lord Changping:

"How do you intend to deal with my ninth younger brother?"

"Will it harm his life? If possible, it would be better to just teach him a lesson."

In Fusu's heart, although he now hated Ying Ziyu very much, he still did not want to cross swords with his own brother unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Fusu, sometimes you are too kind; if this continues, how will you manage the Great Qin in the future??!!"

"As for the matter of Ying Ziyu, you don't need to worry about it; just leave it all to this old man!"

After speaking, Lord Changping left the residence of the eldest son directly; if there was nothing else, he would certainly not come again.

After all, Ying Zheng must have also sent quite a few people to observe everything here at Fusu's place.

After Lord Changping left, Fusu sighed softly; he still did not understand where he had lost, or why Ying Zheng did not like his approach.

However, for the position of Crown Prince, he, Fusu, still had to fight for it! ===== CHAPTER 627 =====
