It is precisely because Zhao Che knows enough about the affairs of the court, and even knows more than him in some aspects, that Ying Zheng will inform Zhao Che about the passing of the throne, and ask him to discuss it with him .

"Does your brother know about this?"

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Che asked, for such a big matter of succession, of course it is impossible for him and Ying Zheng to decide on it, at least let Fusu make preparations in advance.

"Before I called you over, I had already told Fusu. Didn't I ask you to come here and ask for your opinion?"

"What did brother say?"

"He doesn't want to, but the current Daqin needs him to be the new king!"

Ying Zheng said very plainly that a court cannot have only one emperor forever.

"Since Dad has already made his decision, then naturally there is nothing to say, just pick a good day to pass on the throne."

Zhao Che spread his hands, and he didn't have any objections, anyway, it was the transfer of power from his own family, and he had no interest in the throne.

No matter how the political situation in the court changed, it actually had no effect on Zhao Che himself.

With Zhao Che's current prestige and status in Daqin, he can actually be called the uncrowned king, not to mention that there is a Ying Zheng who will escort him behind.

"Cher, there is one more thing."

After Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, he suddenly asked.

"Father, tell me."

"Have you taken the longevity medicine?"

Hearing this, Zhao Che instantly understood.

It seems that Ying Zheng also understands some problems brought about by longevity.

Perhaps, Ying Zheng was so anxious to call himself over to discuss the passing of the throne, which might have something to do with it.

Speaking of which, Fusu is indeed very old, but Zhao Che is still young.

30 years old is a person's prime of life, the time when both physical strength and energy are at their peak.

But Zhao Che is only in his 20s this year, and he is still very young.

"Don't worry, old man, since I have a elixir of longevity, I will definitely have a new one in the future."

Zhao Che patted his chest to assure Ying Zheng.

Immediately afterwards, the father and son chatted for a while, and after finalizing the preparations for passing on the position to help Su, Zhao Che got up and prepared to leave.

……

At that time, in Ganquan Palace.

After Fusu came back from the basketball court, he seemed to be in a trance.

"Sir, what happened?"

As the staunch supporters of the Fusu Party, the Meng brothers, although Meng Yi had supported Zhao Che for a period of time before, after Zhao Che rejected the crown prince, Meng Yi was still close to Fusu's side.

In the past five years, the political situation in the court has actually undergone some changes, especially those who are close to Fusu, and have gradually grasped most of the voice in the court.

The position of prime minister is still divided equally between Wang Wan and Li Si. After Li Si experienced Zhao Gao's change, he still holds a high position and authority after returning, but he can no longer dominate alone like before.

Taking advantage of Li Si's absence, Wang Wan had already accumulated enough prestige in the court, and together with Feng Quji and other Confucian officials, he was evenly divided with Li Si.

Meng Yi, on the other hand, stood in the same camp as Li Si most of the time.

After all, Li Si is now a supporter of Fusu, and Li Si is still Yingzheng's trusted minister. Yingzheng needs a balance in the court, so Li Si cannot be let down by Wang Wan and others.

Compared to Wang Wan and Feng Quji, both Ying Zheng and Zhao Che were actually more inclined towards Li Si.

Wang Wan and Feng Quji have more than enough prestige and knowledge, but their thinking is too rigid and their ability to accept the new era is not strong enough.

And the two of them had been suppressed by Li Si before Zhao Gaozhi's change.

Of course, there is Ying Zheng's personal preference, but more importantly, Li Si's practical ability is far superior to the two of them, otherwise Li Si would not be able to sit in this position step by step.

Not to mention that Li Si now has Zhao Che as a backer behind him. For this alone, Li Si's reactivation after being dismissed this time not only did not weaken his influence in the court, but instead expanded it further.

Wang Wan and Feng Quji are not young anymore, their influence in the court is gradually being suppressed by Li Si, and sooner or later they will leave the political center, and that is the best time for Meng Yi to take over.

Now Meng Yi is also using Li Si's influence to pave the way for himself. Meng Yi estimates that when Ying Zhengchuan is located in Fusu, the situation in the court will be greatly turbulent. It is inevitable for a close minister to improve his status.

Therefore, what Meng Yi needs to do most now is, on the one hand, use the relationship between himself and Li Si Zhao Che to pave the way for himself, and on the other hand, show his loyalty to Fu Su.

Because of supporting Zhao Che before, Meng Yi had actually betrayed Fusu, even though Fusu and Zhao Che had a close relationship.

But matters between the royal family can never be distinguished by the simplest thoughts. As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. Therefore, Meng Yi must find a way to make up for these things. It is best for Fusu to completely forget about them. is the best result.

"Meng Qing, you are an old man in my court, and you have helped me a lot in the court over the years. What do you think of Daqin now?"

Fusu sat on the stone bench in the yard, pulled Meng Yi to sit opposite him and asked.

It's just that what Meng Yi didn't notice was what Fusu called him just now.

Qing, this is only used when the emperor addresses his subjects.

Previously, even though Fusu was the crown prince, he was in charge of a lot of power in the court, and all affairs were handled by him, but he always called the ministers of the court as adults, which is an equal and more polite title.

"The current Great Qin is flourishing and thriving. Guishou lives and works in peace and contentment. It has a vast territory and strong soldiers and horses. Naturally, it is the most prosperous time."

Meng Yi also couldn't figure out why Fusu suddenly asked himself this, so he said a set of flattering words that were more versatile.

"Then what do you think, how have I been in court all these years?"

Fusu asked.

"The young master is diligent and conscientious, and he must do everything personally. He is very kind to both the head of Guizhou and his courtiers. Everyone in the world praises the young master for his sageness."

This question is easier to answer, anyway, let's not talk about it, let's flatter.

And Meng Yi is not completely flattering, because Fusu's performance in these years is really good, otherwise Ying Zheng would not be able to consider the matter of passing the throne.

"Father said today that he would pass it on to me. I don't know how Meng Qing thinks about this matter?"

Fu Su casually poured a cup of tea, and spoke about the passing of the throne very calmly.

"What? Pass the position?"

Meng Yi was excited for a moment, and only then did he realize what Fusu called him.

"Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master!"
