Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

Fusu was very happy now.

Like everyone else, he also thought that this was a test for his father to give him a chance, to build momentum for him, and to hand over this huge empire to him.

Fusu took a deep breath and secretly warned himself that he must perform well this time and must not let his father down.

He turned around and looked at the First Emperor standing behind him.

The First Emperor was wearing a black robe and a crown on his head, and he stood silently in front of all the officials.

Then Fusu looked at Ying Wei behind Ying Zheng.

This uncle of his was also wearing black clothes and had no expression on his face. It was difficult to see any thoughts on his face, and he only felt mysterious.

Fusu looked at the civil and military officials again. Their eyes were either thoughtful or pleasantly surprised, and his brothers and sisters all looked lost.

Perhaps from the perspective of the descendants of the First Emperor, they have lost the chance to compete.

But soon these princes relaxed again, because they had not been talking about the succession to the throne from the beginning.

From their perspective, the only one who could inherit the throne was Fusu.

Fusu took a deep breath, 07 he bowed to the First Emperor and Ying Wei, then turned around and stepped forward to the high steps.

On the altar were tributes, several jade pendants, and a black dragon scroll.

Fusu took a deep breath, he picked up the scroll and slowly opened it, inside was a sacrificial text written in small seal script.

"The great heaven established my people and gave me the land to live in. The emperor ordered me to lead and nurture them. I cherish time and shade, sow the hundred grains, and serve you in the fields. Ten thousand couples; square buds and square bodies, leaves and mud, burn and burn, to prosper the next year."

"Think of Hou Ji, who is worthy of the heaven. The emperor established my people and gave me the land to live in. The emperor ordered me to lead and nurture them. There is no limit to your boundaries, and the world is always in summer!"

He recited the sacrificial text in a slow and sonorous tone. Under the sacred words, the breeze blew, and the whole world seemed to become quiet, which made people feel awe.

After Fusu finished reading, he found that his body was trembling. These few short words seemed to have exhausted his life's strength.

After all, from ancient times to the present, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth is something that only emperors can do.

Fusu slowly closed the black dragon scroll in front of him, bowed to the heaven and earth and the Wei River, then held the scroll in both hands and slowly walked to the side of the stove and threw it in.

As the flames burned, the black dragon scroll was completely burned, and the sacrificial text also returned to heaven and earth.

After doing all this, Fusu walked down the steps again, came to the side of the First Emperor and whispered: "Father, I have finished reading the sacrificial text..."

After all, he is not the emperor now. In the sacrifice, he can only recite the sacrificial text at most. The one who really sacrifices to heaven and earth must be Ying Zheng.

This is also an expression of respect for heaven and earth.

Ying Zheng nodded at him and walked up the stone steps.

And Fusu waved his hand and ordered the soldiers around to fetch water from the Wei River.

Not long after, the soldiers fetched water from the Wei River and poured it into cups. Fusu personally handed the cups of Wei River water to every soldier standing guard nearby and the civil and military officials.

"Uncle Wang, please!"

Fusu handed over the cup respectfully, and Ying Wei took it.

Then Fusu began to distribute cups one by one, while Ying Zheng stood on the high platform and stared at the Wei River expressionlessly.

Ying Wei picked up the cup and shook it gently. After seeing the ripples in the water, he laughed softly: "Interesting."

This water is actually poisonous!

But it is not a poison that can kill people. It is a tonic that will only make people feel dizzy at most.

‘The Wei River is connected to the Yellow River. It is almost impossible to poison the river. In other words, the poison is either in the bucket or in the cup. ’

‘Well, it is more likely to be in the bucket. There are too many cups. It is difficult to poison all of them. ’

Ying Wei glanced at Zhao Gao at this time.

I didn’t expect that Zhao Gao would come up with this trick after all the twists and turns.

Zhao Gao did not intend to poison everyone, mainly because he could not do it.

It was precisely because the things in it only made people dizzy. It was not even poison, but a tonic with extremely strong medicinal properties, that Zhao Gao could put it in the bucket without being discovered.

If it was really possible to easily poison all the civil and military officials of the Qin State, then the six countries that were destroyed would have no place to cry. It turned out that the Qin State could be destroyed so easily.

It is precisely because the things in it are not poisonous, but only give people the illusion of being poisoned, that it has not been discovered.

Besides——

Ying Wei looked at Ying Zheng who was standing on the high platform.

As the first emperor, he owns the land of China, and almost all the treasures in the world are in his pocket.

Whether it is Ying Zheng or Ying Wei, they both have treasures that can make them immune to all poisons, so it is impossible to kill them with poison.

Zhao Gao also knew this, so he could not really want to use poison to kill the first emperor.

The reason why Ying Wei was able to detect that there was something wrong with this cup of water was that he had studied the wood department exercises of the Yin-Yang School and read the works of doctors, and had a deep understanding of pharmacology.

‘Such a big thing happened at the sacrificial ceremony, and the problem naturally could not be His Majesty the Emperor, so the only problem was Prince Fusu who read the sacrificial text. ’

‘Zhao Gao’s move was not to kill anyone, he was just targeting Fusu, making it impossible for him to become the crown prince. ’

‘If Zheng Ge really established the crown prince, then things would become much more troublesome. ’

‘After this, Zhao Gao probably had other means to make all the suspects become Fusu. 483’

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng was not going to care about anything.

Because Zhao Gao’sIn fact, he was helping him in disguise.

Zhao Gao didn't want Ying Zheng to establish a crown prince, and Ying Wei naturally didn't want it either, because it would cause more trouble for himself.

And now he didn't need to do anything. Zhao Gao not only took the blame but also helped him do things. Where can he find such a good person?

So Ying Wei naturally didn't remind him, but just watched the show here.

When everyone was distributed with the water of the Wei River, Ying Zheng raised a jade pendant high and shouted to the sky: "God of Heaven and Earth, bless my Great Qin!"

He threw the jade pendant in his hand hard to worship the god of the Wei River.

When Ying Zheng threw the first jade pendant, Fusu shouted to the civil and military officials: "Drink!"

Ying Wei naturally wouldn't be a maverick, and he also took the water in the cup into his stomach.

If he didn't drink it, it would be hard to explain.

Anyway, I am immune to all poisons, and this thing is neither poison nor tonic. At most, it is a little too tonic, so it is okay to drink it.

Just after drinking a glass of water, the medicinal effect in the water is very strong. In an instant, whether it is Fusu or the civil and military officials, they all noticed that their hearts were beating faster and their heads were dizzy.

Their expressions changed immediately, and they realized the problem. They shouted loudly: "This water is poisonous, protect your majesty!".
