On the surface, Fusu seemed to be asking Zhao Che what he thought his abilities were, but in fact he was asking Zhao Che whether his power could control him in the future.

As the champion of the Great Qin Dynasty, Zhao Che had great power and prestige among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and even what he said in the Great Qin Dynasty was more effective than Yingzheng.

At the beginning, Yingzheng trained Zhao Che as the crown prince, and all the reforms made by Zhao Che at that time had indeed brought great changes to Daqin.

But now, with the progress of these reforms, Daqin has gradually stabilized, and the development of economy and technology can temporarily slow down.

Daqin's development is too fast, leading to the current Daqin, in fact, there are still many hidden dangers, so Daqin needs some time to settle down.

At present, there are only three people who can control the direction of Great Qin, the first is Yingzheng, the second is Fusu, and the third is Zhao Che who has no name of emperor but has the power of emperor.

Just like what Meng Yi told Fusu, if Yingzheng Chuan is located in Fusu, the political structure of the court will inevitably undergo a great change, and in the process of this change, Zhao Che may be the most affected.

Because most of the officials in the court who have real power, as well as the new officials in Daqin, are basically from the Zhao Che faction, and they regard Zhao Che as an idol.

As an emperor, what Fusu needs is not only loyal courtiers to Daqin, but more importantly, loyalty to himself.

For example, Wang Wan, Feng Jie, Chun Yuyue and others, these are Fusu's trustworthy courtiers.

However, Li Si, Wei Liao, Wang Ben and others are all Zhao Che faction, and their influence in the court in the future will inevitably be suppressed by Fusu.

It's not that Fusu doesn't want to develop Daqin well, but he is different from Yingzheng. As long as Yingzheng is alive, the structure of Daqin will never change.

Moreover, no matter how high Zhao Che's prestige in Daqin was, he was Ying Zheng's son after all, and no one would take advantage of Zhao Che's power to do his best.

But if Fusu succeeds to the throne, there will probably be many opponents in the ruling and opposition parties. After all, Zhao Che's abilities can almost completely crush Fusu's existence.

As a result, Zhao Che may have difficulty controlling the situation, and may even be forced to stand on the opposite side with Fusu. As a result, Great Qin is in danger.

"Brother Huang's ability and conduct are both excellent. If you take over Daqin, you will naturally be no worse than your father."

Zhao Che said after pondering for a while.

"After that day, I will need a lot of help from my brother!"

Fusu substituted tea for wine, said something to Zhao Che, and then drank it all in one gulp.

When they put down the tea cups, there was a trace of bitterness in their eyes.

The royal family is ruthless, even though the two are like brothers and sisters, when Fu Su succeeded to the throne, a high wall was built between the two of them, blocking them on the opposite bank.

Fusu was unwilling to alienate Zhao Che, but he had to do so, otherwise he would be making fun of Daqin's stability.

It is also impossible for Zhao Che to be self-respecting, but the higher his prestige in Daqin, the people under him will be affected because of him.

As the emperor, if Fusu could not fully grasp the power in the court, it would be an extremely terrible thing for Daqin.

Therefore, from today onwards, Fusu and Zhao Che are no longer brothers, but monarchs and ministers.

Not only in court, but even in private, the two had to keep a distance, even if Zhao Che was replaced as the Great Qin Emperor, the result would not change in the slightest.

Why did the ancient monarchs always claim to be widows? Because the emperors themselves were widows. They could not act impulsively or be dragged down by emotions. Only in this way could they wholeheartedly lead this huge country to the road of prosperity.

After drinking the tea, Zhao Che stood up and offered to leave, but Fusu didn't hold back and allowed Zhao Che to leave.

As soon as he left the Ganquan Palace, Meng Yi greeted him.

"My lord, how was your chat with Mr. Fusu just now?"

Meng Yi leaned in front of Zhao Che and inquired a few words in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Che didn't answer Meng Yi's question, but just glanced at him indifferently and left straight away.

"What's going on? Young Master seems to be in a bad mood. Could there be some conflict with Young Master Fusu?"

Meng Yi was a little confused, and turned his head back to Ganquan Palace.

As a result, as soon as he came back, Meng Yi saw Fusu with his hands behind his back, his back looked abnormally lonely and desolate, as if he was out of tune with this world.

Meng Yi wanted to step forward to ask, but he held back his curiosity after all.

That night, Fusu hosted a banquet for Wang Wan, Meng Yi, Feng Quji, Feng Jie and his son, as well as a group of courtiers who were close to Fusu.

Ying Zheng turned a blind eye to this, and Zhao Che did not attend the banquet. After leaving Xianyang Palace that day, he announced the temporary closure of Champion Hou's Mansion, and moved back to the old Jingyang house overnight.

Speaking of which, Jingyang is still Zhao Che's fiefdom. As the Marquis of Qin Che, it seems quite normal to take office in the fiefdom.

But all of this happened so quickly and decisively that people in the court who heard the news had many speculations.

……

Xianyang, the residence of Prime Minister Zuo.

Li Si's study room was still brightly lit late at night. Li Si and Zhi Su Nei Shi Zhao Shu were sitting together, and there were many memorials on the table in front of them.

The alliance between Daqin and Loulan has basically been finalized, and the weapons and barracks that Daqin promised to deliver to Loulan are already on their way to Loulan.

At the same time, in order to celebrate the alliance with Daqin, King Loulan specially sent a batch of treasures as a gift to thank Daqin.

And what Li Si and Zhao Shu are doing now is some finishing work, and by the way, write this matter down in the memorial and report it, it will be considered as completed.

"Master Prime Minister!"

The two had just finished writing a paragraph when suddenly there was a knock on the door of the study.

"Enter!"

Li Si didn't raise his head and shouted a word.

He had already heard someone's voice.

"I have seen Lord Prime Minister and Lord Zhisu Neishi!"

The study door opened, and a refined young man walked in from the outside, and saluted Li Si and Zhao Shu successively.

"Shusun Tong, what's the reason why you came to my house in the middle of the night?"

Li Si stopped the pen in his hand and raised his head to ask.

Shu Suntong is Dr. Daqin, but the relationship between him and Li Si is somewhat special.

Although Shu Suntong was a student of Confucianism, after being conscripted to Xianyang, he was supposed to be a doctor of Daqin, but he was put on hold for various reasons.

During this time, Shu Suntong stayed in Li Si's house, and at the same time learned a lot from Li Si.

Later, under Zhao Che's instruction, Li Si recommended Shu Suntong as Dr. Daqin, turning him from an intern to a regular.

Therefore, to Shusun Tong, Li Si was also considered to be a kind of good fortune.

"Master Prime Minister, I have come here to tell you something important!"
