Hu Hai

Ying Zheng got up and walked slowly around the darkened hall after sunset, relieving the sore limbs he was sitting on, and said with some hesitation and nostalgia: "When the doctoral officer was just sent to teach, Hu Hai I also quarreled with them, saying that alchemists are charlatans."

Although Hu Hai is not in Xianyang Palace at this time, there are legends about Hu Hai everywhere in Xianyang Palace. The most accurate point is that no matter how angry King Qin is, as long as there are a few childish words from Mr. Hu Hai, King Qin will definitely stay. The anger disappears, and the palace people will not be punished.

Xin Ti had seen Mr. Hu Hai's ability with her own eyes, and when she heard King Qin mention Hu Hai, she immediately followed up and said, "Your Majesty is wise, Mr. Hu Hai silenced those Confucian scholars who were alchemists at that time. It can be seen that They talk a lot of nonsense, but few have real skills."

"Nonsense, how can I choose someone who has no real ability to be a doctoral officer. Officials are my face!" Ying Zheng frowned and scolded angrily, but the expression in his eyes was still hesitant, obviously he had never really said what Xin Ti said. Feeling annoyed, and even vaguely agreed in my heart.

Xin Ti has been serving Ying Zheng for quite some time, although she can't fully grasp his mind, she can figure out [-]% to [-]% of it.

He secretly observed Ying Zheng's face, took a deep breath, and said boldly: "The officials selected by the king are naturally very capable, but since the doctors have all spent their energy on the classics, how much can they focus on?" Studying alchemy? It is common sense to only know a little bit of alchemy—if they were really talented in alchemy, they wouldn't be walking around Xianyang City in the name of a doctoral officer."

As soon as Xin Ti said the words, the wrinkles between Ying Zheng's eyebrows became deeper and deeper. He snorted coldly, but finally waved his hands and said, "Leave them alone, where did Fu Su take Hu Hai?"

Xin Ti knelt at Ying Zheng's feet, and hurriedly reported the date that she kept in her heart: "My lord, the eldest son will return in about a few days."

Only then did Ying Zheng show a little smile on his face, and said in a soft tone: "Okay, let them work hard and clean the yard."

After the words fell, Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then frowned again, and said to himself: "Hu Hai is not young anymore, and if he lives with Fu Su again, does it seem that he is not loved by the widows? If there is an empty courtyard, it is better to clear it out and let Hu Hai live there, so that he can be closer to the widow."

With such thoughts in his heart, Ying Zheng couldn't restrain himself very quickly. He is rich in the world. No matter what he does, he has an idea of ​​his own. Ying Zheng soon smiled and told the palace servants: "Go and use Hu Hai's original book for studying. The yard was cleaned up, and all the things he was used to were carried directly to the yard—hey, forget it, the things he really likes have already been moved to the frontier, and the widow should prepare new ones for him.”

The gloomy expression that had been hanging on Ying Zheng's face disappeared quietly, and he happily selected the treasures in the treasury for his young son: "Didn't Hu Hai always like the crystal cup that was brought back to the treasury? This time I gave it to him. In the past, there was also the screen with gold embossed lace. He also liked it and sent it together. By the way, Hu Hai has not been in good health for the past few years. The windows should not be empty, but a layer of thin silk should be covered to save him from getting cold at night. Open the window, it's cold again."

Kneeling on the spot, Xin Ti couldn't help trembling because of Ying Zheng's big hand. He thought to himself: The older the king is, the more he loves the younger son. No matter how you look at it, it's not a good sign.

Although Xin Ti has never read a book, she understands the reason why the elders in the family have no bottom line and doting on the young will sooner or later cause family discord. However, Xin Ti understands that she is a soft-spoken person, and in order to save her own life, she dare not say anything to annoy Ying Zheng.

Therefore, he could only shrink his body and remember these in his heart.

Hu Hai, who Yingzheng had been thinking about day and night, finally arrived in Xianyang City within three days. Looking at the city he had lived in for many years from the car window, he felt a strong sense of strangeness. Su's palm, confirming his existence.

Fusu held Hu Hai's cold little hand tightly with one hand, put the other on his shoulder, and said in a low and soft voice, "Father is waiting for us to go home."

As soon as his voice reached Hu Hai's ears, Hu Hai's heart instantly became quiet, and the feeling of panic that remained in his heart disappeared without a trace. He looked back at Fu Su and nodded vigorously, with the same smile as before.

The speed of the carriage was getting slower and slower, and finally stopped. Fusu jumped down first, then turned around and held Hu Hai's arm, and hugged him out of the carriage. go.

The movement outside the door had already caused Ying Zheng to put down the scroll in his hand, but when the footsteps of leather shoes entered the room, he immediately raised the slip in his hand, with a sullen face and a look of concentrating on state affairs.

Li Si smiled and met Wei Liao's eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head to cover the corners of his upturned mouth. Wei Liao simply threw the masked pen in his hand on the ground, bent down to pick it up deliberately, and completely blocked the smile on his face.

"Father, my son is back." The first step into the room, Fusu directly knelt down.

Hu Hai and Fusu still clasped their fingers, and was suddenly pulled and shaken by him for a while, but failed to comprehend what Fusu was going to do. He watched him kneel down facing Ying Zheng with a confused expression. Boom!" Kneeling on the ground with a sound.

Immediately, Hu Hai bared his teeth and gasped non-stop, and couldn't help reaching out to rub his knees.

"Father, can I sit down?" Hu Hai moved his legs and wanted to get up, but he looked at the many ministers in the hall with some scruples, knelt down in a proper manner, and looked up at the man standing on the imperial steps. Ying Zheng asked pitifully.

Seeing Hu Hai's appearance, Ying Zheng could no longer hold back the expression on his face, frowned and said fiercely: "Get up quickly, why are you kneeling with Fu Su! Xin Ti, go and call Xia Wuqie in to show Hu Hai's knee." , don't get hurt."

While rubbing his legs, Hu Hai staggered to Ying Zheng's side, sat down on his buttocks, close to Ying Zheng, stretched out his arms and rubbed his neck, and said without hesitation: " Father, I have missed you these past few months, it's a pity that you didn't go to the frontier with me, my elder brother took me to the grassland to ride a horse and hunt, and I even had fresh fish soup."

Hu Hai licked his lips as he spoke, and continued with a greedy expression: "It tastes different from the fish soup in the palace, which is selected layer by layer and kept adding flavor, but it is very fragrant."

Ying Zheng pinched Hu Hai's face unhappily, and reprimanded him: "How dare you say that you miss the widow, and you don't even know how to send home letters when you are away from home. If Fu Su didn't take him with you when he was writing battle reports on weekdays, what would you do?" Clearly, the widow probably doesn’t know that your child doesn’t sleep at night, so you have to take him out to watch the stars! Noisy, the border is cool, what kind of stars do you go out at night, you haven’t seen enough in Xianyang Palace!”

Hearing that Yingzheng mentioned Fusu, Hu Hai got up and ran back to the door, pulled Fusu up, pushed him to sit beside Yingzheng, and dodged and sat next to Fusu, as if he was afraid of Yingzheng. As if settling an old score, he covered himself with Fusu's tall body.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, and said slowly, "Hu Hai, come here and sit next to the widow."

Hu Hai laughed dryly a few times, scratched his face that was gradually revealing lines, and said evasively: "Brother must have something to discuss with Dad, I'm so tired, I'll go to sleep for a while."

Ying Zheng glanced at Hu Hai, Hu Hai who had just stood up had no choice but to sit back, and simply buried his face in Fusu's arms, refusing to come out.

Fusu put his arms around Hu Hai, stretched out his hand and patted him on the back a few times, Yingzheng saw that Hu Hai was playing tricks, and couldn't do anything to his youngest son, so he could only sigh, but seeing Fusu's majestic and young appearance, there was something in his heart. There was a subtle suffocation.

He could see Fusu's growth, and the wind and frost at the border had completely worn away Fusu's lazy and luxurious temperament when he was imprisoned in Xianyang Palace. Even if he was wearing silk and satin at this time, he could not conceal the sharp and decisive temperament around him. He was as heroic as he was back then, like a rising red sun.

It just set off the middle-aged self to look more like an old man who is dying.

Ying Zheng suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart, and nodded to Fu Su, with neither annoyance nor joy on his face, he said flatly: "You did a good job this time, don't let me down." The expectations of the widows. Zhao Jia surrendered and committed suicide long ago. Now that Zhao Qian is dead, the people of Handan County can stop thinking about it, and they will no longer have the heart of disobedience."

In Fusu's opinion, it is his duty to exterminate the people of the Six Kingdoms. Even if it is indeed his contribution this time, Fusu can't feel proud at all. He also calmly wants Yingzheng to reply: "Father It is too much to praise my son. This time I was able to catch Zhao Qian and others, all because Guo Kai's greed made him give up the defense plan released by the leader of Donghu. .”

In the letter, what Fusu did to him was just a passing mention. Now hearing him mention it in person, Ying Zheng immediately became interested, and pressed on the big case and asked: "What's going on? Tell me clearly."

"Yes, father." He had already thought up his words on Fusu Road, and now he was questioned by Ying Zheng, with a natural attitude, without the slightest hesitation, and said directly, "Guo Kai saw that his ministers arrived at the frontier fortress, and felt that Donghu was destined to be wiped out by the army. , What he was looking forward to was prosperity and wealth, so he contacted the caravan in private, and sent people to send letters to his son to express his goodwill. Therefore, his son pushed the boat along and promised Guo Kai a high official and generous salary. Guo Kai originally sent Zhao Wang coaxed around, the leader of Donghu was not as careful as Zhao Wang, and after a long time, he naturally listened to Guo Kai's opinions in many things, allowing him to grasp a lot of power, so Guo Kai learned a part of Donghu's military deployment plan and directly handed it over to the My son, I hope that General Meng Tian will send troops in one fell swoop, and let him take the opportunity to make a great contribution."

Yingzheng nodded, looked at Fusu intently, Fusu bowed his hands to salute Yingzheng, his gentle smile turned into a stern voice, and said in a deep voice: "Although Donghu is powerful, the only sons of the leader of Donghu are the eldest son. Chengqi, the other sons have weak feelings and disputes from time to time; while the Huns who live next door to Donghu are weaker, but they are better than the Xiongnu Shanyu, who is young and powerful, and he is ambitious and has the means to match him——Children Thinking that the Xiongnu will be our real opponent in the future, therefore, I personally went to the grassland to meet with the Xiongnu Shanyu, and transferred the Donghu military deployment plan that Guo Kai sent to my son to Luan Teton. At the same time, we sent people to Donghu to meet with the leader of Donghu, put everything on the head of Guo Kai and the Xiongnu, and lied that the Xiongnu hoped to cooperate with us at this time, Great Qin, to completely wipe out Donghu."

Hearing this, Yingzheng showed a look of astonishment, looked at Fusu and couldn't help laughing, he patted Fusu's shoulder vigorously, sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, Donghu will be attacked by the Huns, and the loss is a lot, how about the leader of Donghu?" If he doesn’t believe the messenger, he will definitely reach an agreement with our Daqin messenger immediately, and personally present the heads of Zhao Qian, Zhao Guo’s Queen Mother, Guo Kai, and Zhao Qian’s concubine children in exchange for my Daqin not taking advantage of the situation to send troops.”

He nodded and said gratifiedly: "Fusu, you are indeed talented in military affairs. It is enough for a widow to have a son like you!"

Fusu had never heard Ying Zheng's undisguised praise. Even though he was still calm, he couldn't hide his excitement. But what surprised him even more was that after closing his eyes and being silent for a while, Ying Zheng waved his hand like He resigned himself to his fate and said: "Meng Yi drew up the decree for the widow, and named the eldest son Fu Su as the crown prince."
