Chapter 50 Disappointment
Zhangtai Palace.
The Qin Empire was mainly in the dynasty south of the Wei River, and most of the major political activities were held here.
In addition to discussing affairs in the Qilin Hall of Xianyang Palace north of the Wei River in the early days, Qin Shihuang would mostly move to Zhangtai Palace, practice writing and writing, breaking prisons during the day, and reciting books at night. The memorials from the central government's and ministers and counties across the country gathered here.
The memorial was sent to the Zhangtai, and the on-duty official wanted to submit it to Qin Shihuang for personal inspection. The mud seal was intact and had not been secretly removed by the traitor, so he knocked off the mud seal and the imperial viewing.
After nearly a day, the First Emperor Ying Zheng finally finished reading the memorial. The three major carts in the hall approved the bamboo slips, which represented how diligent the First Emperor of Qin was and how tired he was every day.
Ying Zheng rubbed his eyebrows and looked very tired. Looking outside the hall, the sunset was setting, Ying Zheng sighed.
He still has to carry the burden of Qin State, and he can't let it go if he wants to.
All of his sons were unable to bear the heavy responsibility. The eldest son supported Ziru and was incompetent. Although Young Master Hai liked him, he was too greedy for pleasure. He really had no idea who would pass on the Qin Dynasty to protect him in the future.
If my son could have a capable person like Li Yang, then I would really not have any worries.
Why!
Whenever Ying Zheng was involved in this, he was worried.
"Your Majesty, you are tired. According to memorials, which young master can do this for you to reduce your fatigue, and secondly, you can follow the study and handle government affairs." Zhao Gao, an eunuch who was nearly 60 years old, said with a sad look on his face.
"It's better to rely on them than to rely on me." Ying Zheng said helplessly, and then asked, "Where is the eldest son, why haven't you seen him enter the palace these days!"
Zhao Gao quickly replied: "The eldest son seems to have been staying in the workshop of the young master, as if he is studying something new."
"What? He ran to the young mansion?" Ying Zheng was stunned and frowned.
When Zhao Gao saw it, he quickly hit the railway while it was hot: "Yes, this young master seems to have become obsessed with something new recently, and he has devoted himself to the workshop. This... it has been more than half a month."
"Okay, okay! I've come back and specially arranged for him to be a teacher at Li Yang. I originally expected him to learn the art of governing the country with Li Yang humbly, but as a result... he was fine. He didn't study for the past half month, but he was completely devoted to the workshop. It's really worthy of my good intentions!"
At this moment, Ying Zheng was so angry that he couldn't speak. His face was blue and white, which was very terrible.
He had to be angry. He was originally angry at this incompetent eldest son who was not good at his power. He asked him to become a teacher of Chunyu Yue, but he did not learn it. Instead, he became weak-spoken. Later, he sent him to Meng Tian's army as a military supervisor in the name of exile, in order to allow him to grow in the army. Now, he deliberately asked him to learn the art of governing the country with Li Yang. All of this is not bad intentions, but... his son has become even stronger and he has no desire to learn.
It has been more than half a month since I returned from the border.
In more than half a month, I was completely stuck in the workshop. I thought about Ying Zheng’s lungs were so angry that he felt so angry.
The disappointment of parents is something that ordinary people cannot understand and understand. It is the coldness of all love that has been let down. This is a feeling of extreme pain and extreme sadness.
There is no greater sorrow than death in the heart. Perhaps it is the most suitable to describe Ying Zheng at this moment.
If you lose hope for your son, Daqin will not see the future. This is even more sad than death. This is the saddest thing for Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, you have to take care of yourself. Don't be angry." Zhao Gao looked worried and advised: "The eldest son is unwilling to learn the art of governing the country from Li Zhongcheng. Maybe he has his own ideas. After all, he has been in the army for a while, and maybe he has become obsessed with some weapons, so he is devoted to the workshop. If he can find any good weapons, that's not bad."
Ying Zheng said angrily: "Will I still not understand my son? I lack iron blood and have more than weak scholars. If he can fall in love with weapons, it is not Fusu. As the eldest son of a country, he does not engage in the art of governing the country, but is so concerned about the strange and lustful skills. This is simply ridiculous!"
"Oh, the eldest son is the same. How can you waste your Majesty's good intentions? If you don't learn the art of governing the country well, the burden of the Great Qin State will not be easy to take on in the future!" Zhao Gao also sighed, but then said, "But, Your Majesty, don't think badly. What if the young master has developed something good, it's possible."
Ying Zheng shouted coldly and said contempt: "I have so many skilled craftsmen in Qin State, just him... how can he make any useful things? Don't dream."
Ying Zheng was really completely disappointed with Fusu, and shook his head helplessly, feeling that his son seemed to be useless.
He doesn't think about national affairs, does not do his job properly, does not learn the art of governing the country, and will not think about sharing government affairs for him, his father, and sharing the worries of Qin. He simply doesn't want such a son.
This is not as good as the sons of ordinary people. At least they will go to the fields to help farm and share the hardships of their parents.
Zhao Gao was so happy that he thought that the emperor had sent Li Yang to be a teacher for Fusu, and in time, he would definitely be recognized by the emperor.
But who would have thought that Mr. Fu would not learn the art of governing the country from Li Yang at all, and he would devote himself to the workshop. Now, the emperor is probably disappointed with him. In this way, His Majesty will turn to Mr. Hai.
Just as Zhao Gao was in a state of great thought, Ying Zheng suddenly asked, "What are Hu Hai busy with recently?"
When Zhao Gao heard this, he was overjoyed, but he did not show any expression at all. Instead, he looked helpless and said aggrievedly: "Go back to Your Majesty, Young Master Hai is... sad recently."
"Sad? Why are you sad?" Ying Zheng frowned and said in surprise.
Zhao Gao sighed and said, "Hi, isn't it because Mr. Hai heard that His Majesty sent Li Zhongcheng to the eldest son as his teacher? Mr. Hai said that he had no good teacher to govern the country anymore, so he was sad."
"Oh? He is really sad about this?" Ying Zheng was stunned, surprised, but felt a little joy in his heart.
Zhao Gao smiled bitterly: "Isn't that true? If my subordinates hadn't persuaded me, Mr. Hai would have come to you to complain to you. Alas, this is all blamed for my subordinates, saying something that shouldn't have been said."
Ying Zheng was curious: "What did you say to him?"
Zhao Gaoyi seemed to have made a big mistake and said, "When I went to lecture with Master Hai many times, I would always mention the fatigue of Your Majesty's daily review of memorials, hoping that he would study harder, but he always thought that he would share his worries for Your Majesty at this time, so he wanted to learn more about governing the country in order to help Your Majesty as soon as possible. This... it's all because of your Majesty's talkativeness, otherwise he wouldn't complain that Your Majesty sent Li Zhongcheng to the eldest son as a teacher, and his Majesty's crimes would not be forgiven!"
"Ha ha……"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he felt very comforted and couldn't help laughing, saying: "Zhao Gao, you are not guilty, it is obvious that you have made merits. Let Young Master Hai understand my difficulties, and you should be like this as a teacher. However, Hu Hai does not disappoint my love. Now he has finally grown up and knows how to care about me and will think about sharing my worries. Not bad, haha, I feel so comforted!"
Zhao Gao smiled and said as if he was pleased: "So, Your Majesty will not blame Mr. Hai for complaining?"
"How could I blame him? I am still happy when he has such a grudge." Ying Zheng smiled, pondered for a moment, and then said, "However, since he wants to learn the art of governing the country with Li Zhongcheng... Let's do this. After a few days, I will go and ask the eldest son in person to see if he still wants to learn from Li Yang. If he has no intention of this, I will send Li Yang to Hu Hai's place!"
When Zhao Gao heard this, his eyes suddenly shone. If Li Yang could really be pulled into his camp, then the game of chess would be reversed immediately and the whole game would be alive.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao quickly bowed and said, "I thank Your Majesty for Mr. Hai."
