VII

"Fusu, since you know it, why don't you trust me?" Ying Zheng said indifferently, "The sword in my hand is not for decoration."

"I don't dare!" Fu Su stepped forward on his knees, boldly took Ying Zheng's hand, and tried not to let his voice tremble because of fear: "Your father said it yourself , not to mention father, you are a body of ten thousand gold, let alone risk it easily!"

Ying Zheng didn't say a word, nor did he shake off Fusu, the hall was so quiet that he could hear each other's faint breathing. "Fusu, your injury is still unhealed, it's time to go back and take a good rest."

After an unknown period of time, Ying Zheng's low voice, which could not distinguish between emotions and anger, sounded slowly, and Fusu recalled in a trance that this person seemed to have said a similar sentence: You are tired from the journey, go down and have a good rest.Prepare carefully for the upcoming Spring Festival.It's like, whenever this person doesn't want to talk anymore, he will say this sentence.

"Father..."

"Go down." Interrupting Fusu who wanted to say something more, Yingzheng left the throne and stood up, looking down at Fusu who was a little flustered, "Or is that rumor true?"

In an instant, Fusu broke out in a cold sweat, and had to work several times. Fusu didn't care about life and death long ago, but he had to care about Yingzheng's opinion of him. He would never disobey this person unless it was absolutely necessary, let alone usurping the throne rebellion?

"My son...retire..." Barely standing up straight, he turned around and staggered down the stairs step by step after helping Su salute. In Yingzheng's sight, he pushed open the palace door and walked outside the bright palace. Yingzheng let go of his hold Holding the long sword in his hand, he sat back on the throne, was silent for a long time, and then sighed with a smile: "This kid... has grown up..."

Fusu knew that Ying Zheng had been watching him leave, but he didn't dare to turn his head, and he didn't even slow down. It wasn't until he walked back to the bedroom and sat on the couch that he felt a little real.In the past, Fusu responded by instinct. He thought that even if he did it all over again, it would still be just a moment before receiving the imperial edict. He never thought that he would come here earlier.Putting his hand on his chest, Fusu laughed softly. In the past few lives, he has always been like a shadow, like a shadow, and the occasional heartache seems to be gradually fading away. His disease is a heart disease, and there is only one medicine that can cure it. : Ying Zheng.

Fusu sat on the couch, from day to night, and from night to dawn, thinking over and over again about the previous rebirths, but couldn't find the law of rebirth, and didn't know Why so much earlier this time.I have seen Ying Zheng alive, if I do it again, let him be reborn after Ying Zheng's death... Fusu shudders even just thinking about it.

For some reason, the assassination at the Spring Festival this time was left alone. Yingzheng never mentioned that Fusu would go to the north to defend the border, and the rumors about the eldest son Fusu wanting to usurp the throne and rebel did not know when they disappeared. No one in the ruling and opposition parties dared to bring up this matter again.

Fu Su could only sigh inwardly, his father's method was really amazing.Fusu had also been the emperor for decades. Although the emperor's mentality was not as good as Yingzheng's, although it was difficult to do these things, it was not impossible.It's just that Fusu's mind is not on this. He is more concerned about the recent incident of Yinghuo Shouxin and the incident of Hu who died in Qin Dynasty. He has lived several lives again. Of course, Fusu knows that "Hu" refers to his youngest brother "Hu Hai" , rather than "Huren Huns".But so what, Fusu had faked his death and lived in seclusion for decades, watching the dynasty decline and the country change.He also once stood high in the Ninth Five-Year Supreme for decades, allowing the Great Qin to continue.Fusu has tasted the deepest bitterness in the world, and now he has such a little bit of sweetness, how can he give up?How dare you let go?How willing to lose again?

Under the pretense that Yingzheng was looking for the elixir of life, Fusu told Yingzheng about it, and concealed his identity after taking the edict that could do things cheaply.Secretly left the Xianyang Palace.Rushing to the nameless deep mountain where she lived in seclusion after the fourth rebirth and suspended animation, there was something that Fusu urgently needed.

In Fusu's impression, three very unlucky things happened this year, and it was these three things that led to his father's fifth east tour, which led to the death of Sha Dune.The first thing: Ying Huo Shou Xin, has happened.The second thing: the meteorite incident, not long after, a meteor will fall in Dongjun. The meteorite itself can be good or bad. The key is to see how the interpreter wants to interpret it. No matter how you interpret it, it is a bad omen: "The first emperor dies and the land is divided." Fusu remembers that when he first heard about this, he was already supervising the army in Shangjun. Without the emperor's edict, he would never return to Xianyang. He didn't think carefully about whether it was God's will or man-made, and he never thought about the psychological pressure this boulder brought to his father.

The third thing: the Shen Bi incident.Not long after the meteorite incident, a messenger who was traveling at night was suddenly stopped by a person holding a jade bibike when he passed Huayin from the east.The man said to the envoy, please give this piece of jade to Mr. Jichi for me, and said to the envoy, "This year Zulong will die."Fusu had seen that piece of jade when he was the emperor, in order to investigate the real cause of Ying Zheng's death.Therefore, I know how surprised his father must have been when he saw the piece of jade that the envoy brought back to Xianyang, because that piece of jade was thrown into the river by his father himself at the Spring Festival not long ago to worship the water god.

From Yinghuo Shouxin this spring, the meteorite incident in summer, to the Shenbi incident in autumn.Three such unlucky and strange things happened in a row in a year, no wonder his father was so hasty to go east to avoid disaster in the second year!Fusu didn't know if Yinghuo's obedience to God's will was hard to break, and whether the other two incidents were caused by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, but he would rather believe it. There is still a year to go, and Fusu believes that even if it can't save Yingzheng, it will Can save his life.

In order to avoid the shadow guards, Fusu walked intermittently for a month, during which time he pretended to be really inquiring about the elixir of life.After completely throwing off the shadow guards, Fusu came to the deep mountain where she had lived in seclusion for decades.This is a dense and inaccessible mountain, and there is a person living in it, a real master of Taoism.

"Sir, I need something, I beg you to part with me." Walking to the thatched hut where the man lived in seclusion, Fusu directly knelt outside the door and said loudly.Only this person knows what he has been asking for in several lifetimes, and only this person understands his deep suffering.It was because of listening to this man's teaching that in the second life that followed, he wielded the sword of the Son of Heaven, sheltered the world's poor and happy, helped the poor, recuperated and practiced benevolent government.It is for forming good karma, cultivating virtue and accumulating blessings.Everyone in the world knows that he is a benevolent king, but they don't know that he has been tortured by endless reincarnation and gone crazy.

"Fusu... you're finally here..." An old man with white beard and hair and a childlike face walked out of the thatched cottage, wearing a very simple Taoist robe that was washed white. Whisk the dust and step on the seven-star shoes. "The things you want can only be picked at midnight on the winter solstice. Would you like to stay with the old man for a longer time?"

"Dare not to follow orders!" Silently counting the days in his heart, Yingzheng's catastrophe will be in July next year, and the winter solstice will pick the grass, refine it into a pill for at most half a year, and he still has three months.

"Come in." The old Taoist sighed softly, turned around and entered the thatched cottage, Fusu followed him in, knelt and sat on the futon opposite the old Taoist, picked up the steaming tea prepared for him, lightly tea Blowing away the hot air, Fu Su Min took a sip and said with a smile: "It still tastes familiar, but Fu Su hasn't had this tea for decades."

"You should ask yourself, the old Taoist has always lived here and never left, when did you come to find the old Taoist?" The Taoist smiled and said, "It's just that you don't want to come..."

"Fu Su is ashamed to face Mr., so he has no face to face Mr. again." Fu Su lowered his eyes and smiled wryly.

"Do you still know that you are ashamed of me? Fusu? Do you know that you feigned death to get away, in order to win the trust of those messengers, the wound was deep, and life and death were on the line. How much effort did the old man spend to save you and heal you? You promised the old man at that time What? Even come again, haven't come to see me for decades?" Taoist suddenly stood up and cursed angrily.

The way is natural, laughing and cursing are all free.Fusu had anticipated the old Taoist's anger, and comforted him: "Sir, Fusu respectfully calls you 'Mr. Listening to the mysteries of Taoism beside you, those decades were the most peaceful and happy days in Fusu’s life. I promised you that you would not give up life easily, but failed to do so. Fusu is really ashamed, but you know, if If you don't do that, Fusu will live forever and never be able to fulfill his wish!" At the end of the speech, Fusu's expression was even a little harsh, with coldness and mockery in his eyes, and he didn't know who he was mocking.At this moment, he resembled the aloof Emperor Shihuang very much.

"Hey..." the old Taoist sighed, and knelt down on the futon again, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you..."

Fusu was silent for a long while before he said: "Fusu's body Fusu knows that since he escaped from feigning death and was rescued by you, although he suffers from heartache and cannot live day and night, his body, which has not aged for decades, has not changed. If Fu Suruo didn't notice anything about his face, he would be the eldest son of that man! This is what that man dreamed of all his life... Immortality doesn't mean that he can't be injured or die...I want to see him, I can't imagine it ...I'm going crazy thinking about it..." Fusu spoke with sarcasm and his voice was sharp, but when he said the last sentence, he choked up sobbing.

"The immortality that so many people dream of is a shackle for you... Fusu, how stupid you are!" "You have met Ying Zheng in this life, and you have fulfilled your wish, can you live in seclusion with the old Taoist?" Although he knew the answer, the Taoist couldn't help asking again.

"Please forgive me..." Fusu knelt down and sobbed.

"Hey...forget it...it's fine if you don't agree at this time, anyway, you will come here to live in seclusion with the old Taoist one day...It's really lonely to be alone..." After saying this, the Taoist turned towards the helper Su blinked, his words were sly, and he looked like a naive and naughty boy.

"If that time really comes, Fusu will definitely come here to accompany Mr.." Fusu sat up and said sadly, of course he knew that the Taoist must have counted something, so he was so sure that he would come again. "There is still one thing Fusu doesn't understand, please enlighten me, sir."

"But why did you reborn a year earlier in this life?" The old Taoist stroked the white beard under his chin and said with a smile: "This old man doesn't know too well, let's just speculate, just listen to it...Your body is really special , how many people can't find the innate Taoism, and they should be born into my Taoism to practice Taoism, immortality, immortality, it's a pity to be ruined by you like this. Every time you commit suicide and die, your body is severely injured, it will naturally take time to recover, recover The time is the time of reversal. That is to say, you just think that you are dead, but your body is not dead, it is repairing itself, and the time required for repair is not certain, as long as it takes, you can go back as much time as you want.”

"So that's how it is!" Fusu sighed, "The first and second reincarnations were all slaying themselves directly, and it didn't take much time for the body to repair itself. So it went back to before and after the imperial edict. The third reincarnation was killed by arrows, and it didn't hurt The key to the internal organs is to die from excessive blood loss. The third Fusu died early. The fourth lives in seclusion with you. Although you deliberately concealed it, in the end Fusu guessed that his body was different from ordinary people. Thinking of the long years, he was desperate and hanged himself And died. The fifth life listened to your teachings, formed good karma, cultivated virtue and accumulated blessings. I thought that this could change the fate of reincarnation. If it is gone from now on, it is also a kind of kindness from God to Fusu. If...if...God is merciful Let Fusu see the living person again, even if Fusu is struck by lightning, he will die a good death, and he will go to the eighteenth level of hell after death without complaint or regret! Because his face does not change, Fusu deliberately Growing a beard, this black hair gradually turned white in the long period of despair and hope, and it saved Fusu a lot of effort."

Speaking of this, Fusu was a little dazed, and his memory went back to the end of his life as the emperor. He dreamed of Yingzheng for three consecutive days. The heart-wrenching pain and desperate longing made him choose to swallow medicine and die at the last moment. It was too painful. It's too painful, as long as the thought of never seeing her again, even dreaming is an extravagant hope, it hurts so much that it hurts so much that it hurts my heart and guts.

"That's why Fusu committed suicide in the first five lives, and his body was never fatally injured, so the time required was short. The sixth life was different. Fusu woke up and found that it was at that moment, resigned to his fate, and wanted to commit suicide. , but as long as I think that the struggles and pains of the previous lives are so ridiculous, I can't help the hostility and resentment accumulated in my heart in the past few lives, thinking that the world treats me like this, why should I treat the world with kindness, so...killed many people... …In the end, when an arrow shot by someone pierced through his heart, Fusu really went crazy, and pulled out the arrow directly... Presumably, most of his heart and heart were also destroyed..."

"Fusu, the viscera have been severely injured, so the recovery time will naturally take longer..." The Taoist touched Fusu's hair and comforted him: "It hurts, right? But it's also a blessing in disguise. Are you happy to see Ying Zheng?"

"Very happy..." Fusu closed her eyes, she was really happy, so happy that she still wondered if God would really treat him so well and fulfill his wish?I'm afraid it's just a flash in the pan, right?Therefore, even if he changed his fate against the heavens and lost his life forever, Ying Zheng's fate would be decided by him!

"It's good to be happy... The time you wake up is pushed forward from the moment you received the edict. Haven't you realized that this matter has had a great impact on you?" The Taoist continued: "This is the most important thing to change your life. At this point, you have to try to relax and stop thinking about it... Fusu, Yingzheng doesn't really want you to die, he cares about you... Before he died, he wanted you to go back and preside over his Funeral, funeral, he trusts you, you have to let yourself go... In his whole life, he has placed high hopes on you since you were born, he named you Fusu, 'Fusu' is the name of flowers and trees as well as the name of weapons, It is Vanilla Jiamu. He hopes that you can be both civil and military, Zhilan Yushu. He chose a Confucian teacher for you, not to say that he doesn’t like you or Confucianism. He hopes that you can shoulder the strengths of Confucianism and Legalism, just like Han It’s not the same, the teacher came from the Confucian Xunzi, but he was a master of Legalism... He demoted you to the upper county to guard the border because he felt that you were soft-hearted. In this life, I have never cared so much for any son or princess under my knee..."

"Fusu knows..." Fusu closed her eyes, but she couldn't stop the hot tears rolling down her cheeks.

The author has something to say:

The timeline of Qin Shimingyue is too messy, so I wrote it according to history.In history, three strange things did happen in the 36th year of Qin Shihuang, and then His Majesty went on a tour in order to avoid disaster, but died on the way... Yinghuo Shouxin has appeared in the bright moon of Qin Dynasty, and I guess the meteorite incident and Shenbi incident are not far away Yes, it is said that the title of the sixth play of Qin Shimingyue was called "Death of the First Emperor"
