"Thinking carefully, my third brother and I have never been like today, not doing any serious work, just strolling in this garden casually, talking about our own thoughts."

Ying Zheng and Ying Wei walked in this garden, without any destination, just wanting to recall the past.

Ying Wei smiled and said, "Yes, when my brother just returned to Qin from Zhao, I was still young and my relationship with my brother was not that close."

"On the contrary, my brother and Cheng Jiao have a closer relationship."

So many years have passed, and the topic of Cheng Jiao is no longer a taboo for the First Emperor.

Now that the First Emperor has unified the six kingdoms and become the first emperor of China, he will naturally no longer care about those trivial matters in the past.

"Cheng Jiao, it's really a pity for him."

Thinking of the brother who had a close relationship with him since childhood, Ying Zheng also sighed.

If Cheng Jiao had no ambition and was not deceived by others, the three brothers would have worked together, which would have been a rare good story.

Unfortunately, Cheng Jiao could not keep up with Ying Zheng and chose the wrong path.

"Now it seems that the one who left the message in Xianyang back then should have been Changping Jun."

Regarding the rumor that Ying Zheng was Lu Buwei's son, there is actually no evidence pointing to anyone until now.

But according to Ying Wei's guess, this matter could only have been done by Changping Jun.

Ying Zheng said indifferently: "No matter who spread the rumor, it's over now."

"I was in the Xianyang Palace at that time and read the book written by my third brother, which suited my taste."

"At that time, my third brother was studying in Xiaoshengxianzhuang. In the past, my third brother was also very low-key in the Qin royal family, and I didn't know you well."

"After my third brother returned to Xianyang, I had a conversation with him and I knew that he was a talented person. I found the right person."

Ying Wei did not hide it at this time and said: "My father passed away and Lu Buwei took control of the government."

"If I perform too well, I will definitely become a thorn in Lu Buwei's eyes. . ”

“At that time, I was still young and had no ability or power of my own. If I was targeted by Lu Bu, I would definitely die.”

“So I could only endure hardships and try not to show off in front of anyone. I didn’t feel relieved until I left Xianyang and left this political whirlpool.”

“Fortunately, my brother was unwilling to be inferior to others and had his own ambitions. Otherwise, I might never return to Qin in my life.”

Ying Wei’s words seemed ordinary, but in fact, they were secretly praising the First Emperor.

If Ying Zheng was really a muddleheaded king who just wanted to eat and wait for death like the kings of other countries, then he could have just let Lu Buwei do whatever he wanted and didn’t even think about resisting Lu Buwei.

If that was the case, how could Ying Wei dare to return to Qin and go alone?If someone faces Lü Buwei and the King of Qin directly, when he has no troops and no power, he will die.

Ying Zheng listened to Ying Wei's heartfelt words and joked, "I didn't expect that my third brother has been so thoughtful since he was a child. He knew how to avoid the sharp edge at such a young age."

"But my third brother praises me, and I also praise my third brother. My third brother can see my great ambitions and is determined to return to Qin, and even face Lü Buwei's assassination."

"Who can compare with this bravery and fearlessness!"

Ying Wei complained in his heart when he heard the words. It was because I know history, I know that you are Qin Shihuang, and I know that you will not be inferior to others, so I dare to come back and hug my thighs.

Otherwise, I would be stupid to return to Qin.

He smiled and said, "Brother, let's not flatter each other here."

The First Emperor couldn't help laughing out loud because of his teasing.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

Laughing too much, the First Emperor bent over and coughed violently. The eunuch behind him hurried forward and said with concern: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I just had too much fun chatting with my third brother. I haven't been so happy for a long, long, long time, and haven't laughed so happily."

His heartfelt words moved Ying Wei a little.

The First Emperor couldn't let others see his emotions, his joys and anger at will.

So whether in the court or in private, he had to be expressionless and couldn't have any big emotional fluctuations.

Laughing so happily like now, even without any etiquette, in Ying Wei's memory, this is really the first time.

"Brother, people need to be happier to be healthier."

"Third brother, you are right. I will pay attention to it."

After laughing so hard, Ying Zheng seemed to have turned back into the emperor.

After all, he was the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty. It was impossible for him to change his habits of decades. He just let himself indulge himself for once.

"Third brother, what do you think of Fusu?"

Ying Zheng's sudden question made Ying Wei startled.

This is not a good answer, because he can hear that Ying Zheng's words are meant to ask for his opinion on the crown prince.

When the emperor asks this question, don't answer the specific content casually, because no matter whether your ideas coincide with the emperor's or not, it will make the emperor wary of you.

If you and I have different ideas, it means that you have an opinion about me.

You think the same as me, which means you may have ideas about the crown prince and want to influence him. Anyway, the emperor can't be too close to him, nor too far away from him.

Ying Wei said ambiguously: "Fusu is pretty good among the emperor's sons."

Ying Zheng said indifferently: "But he is still not qualified. He is too cowardly and is not suitable to inherit the Qin Kingdom at all."

"Third brother, do you believe that if I die one day, Fusu will become the heir to the throne?For my successor, the world will be in chaos!"

"I know very well that the world is afraid of me, so they dare not move, but if I am not here, they will definitely have some ideas."

"What I want is a thunderous hand, which can wipe out all the opposition forces, make the ministers bow down, and make a stable successor for future generations, but Fusu is too soft and will only be carried away by others."

"He seems to be admired by the ministers, but the reason why those people admire him is because Fusu is too soft-hearted."

"Only a soft-hearted emperor can be controlled and restricted by the ministers. The ministers don't want another me! ”

Ying Zheng was familiar with the books of the Legalists and was proficient in their techniques.

From his perspective, as an emperor, he would treat everyone as a sinner who would rebel.

From his perspective, all the ministers were enemies, and he would naturally speculate on them with the most malicious thoughts.

The First Emperor’s idea was indeed correct, but it was extreme enough to some extent. Ying Zheng was still too deeply influenced by the Legalists.

“Third brother, I hope you can promise me one thing.”

“Please speak, my royal brother.”

“Fusu is my son after all. I just hope that no matter what happens, you can help Fusu and let him live a stable life. ”

Ying Zheng’s words made Ying Wei a little hard to guess.

On the surface, he meant to let Ying Wei support Fusu and help him to secure the throne, but Ying Zheng seemed to have something else in his words, and the meaning was hard to understand.
