Hu Hai

Ying Zheng was puzzled, but no thoughts could be seen on his face.

He nodded directly and asked the soldiers who delivered the message to leave the brocade full of messages, and then let him retreat.

"Fusu, come here, let's see with you what is the reason for Zhao Ren's weird behavior." Ying Zheng opened the mud-sealed lacquer box, took out a brocade silk full of small characters, and laid it out on the four horses. On the big case of Wang Che.

Fu Su hugged Hu Hai and sat beside Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, but didn't say a single extra word, and read the contents of the letter in silence.

But as the content progressed, the expression on Ying Zheng's face became more and more strange. Staring at the content in this thin brocade was like looking at a pig flying in the sky.

"Father, what's wrong with Zhao Guo?" Hu Hai looked left and then again, and found that both Yingzheng and Fusu had such strange expressions, and finally couldn't help but stretch out his hand to pull Yingzheng's sleeve, his eyes full of curiosity .

Fu Su grabbed Hu Hai's palm back, flicked on his plump forehead, and reprimanded: "Don't be so unruly."

Ying Zheng paused when he heard the words, and his eyes fell on Fusu and Hu Hai. He thought that the youngest son would express his dissatisfaction loudly, but Hu Hai just raised his hands to cover his forehead, and stared pitifully at Fusu and Hu Hai with big black and white eyes. Fu Su admitted his mistake in a low voice: "Brother, I know I was wrong, and I will never do this again in the future."

Fu Su smiled and pulled Hu Hai's palm away, rubbed the forehead with red marks, and said with a low smile, "Hu Hai is such a good boy."

Hu Hai rubbed his nose against Fusu's face, and said coquettishly, "Then elder brother, don't abandon me in the future, okay? The brothers in the palace are not fun, they have been avoiding me."

Hearing this, Fusu frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "I don't care about you? Gao, Jianglu, Ronglu and Yangcheng are all easy to get along with. They are not young and know how to be considerate of others. How could they not?" Willing to be with you?"

Hu Hai was also puzzled, looking at Fusu with innocent eyes.

He tugged Fusu's sleeve tightly, nodded vigorously and emphasized: "I definitely did not bully anyone, and I have seriously apologized for what I did wrong before, but they just...don't want to talk to me..."

As Hu Hai said, he lowered his head, his fingers were entangled, and his expression was lost.

Fusu wanted to continue asking, but Ying Zheng suddenly said, "Gao and the others are getting older, so it's normal that they don't want to play with Hu Hai."

Fu Su's eyes flashed, and he said in his heart: When did the father take care of the trivial matters between the children?There must be something hidden in it.

He looked at Ying Zheng carefully, and sure enough, he saw his father's expression stiff. Fu Su quickly hugged Hu Hai and coaxed him softly for a while, until the little boy fell asleep in his arms, then he asked Ying Zheng straightforwardly: " Father, is there another reason why Hu Hai was excluded?"

Ying Zheng sighed, spread his palms and said helplessly: "Hu Hai is naughty, he snatched Fifteen from Rong Lu by accident, although the widow decided to give Rong Lu another one later, I'm afraid Rong Lu still has his heart. The knot can't be let go. He was not willing to accept the widow's gift at the beginning, Zhao Gao sent him several times before he was allowed to accept another white eagle."

After listening to Ying Zheng's explanation, Fu Su still felt weird. Although Rong Lu has a straight temper, he is definitely not a grudge character. How could he not accept Hu Hai's apology, which is so much younger than himself, and he has been thinking about it today?

He couldn't help but glance at Zhao Gao, but when he looked back and thought about the connection of the two reasons, he felt that there seemed to be some truth.

Fusu wasn't sure about the result, so he had no choice but to temporarily keep the ungraspable doubts in his heart, and patted the back of the child in his arms distressedly.

No matter what misunderstandings there are, Hu Hai has only been accompanied by his father and Hu Ji in Xianyang Palace for the past few years, and his life is too monotonous and lonely.

Yingzheng and Fusu and his son solved Hu Hai's problem, and the topic immediately turned to Zhao Guo's extremely weird approach. He lightly explained the big case a few times, looked at Fusu and said in a low voice, "What do you think about Zhao Guo's lord and the clan elders?" Will you flee to two completely different places?"

Fusu has been on the front line for more than two years, so naturally he has no access to the secret report sent to the court by the Guowei Mansion, but relying on his own intelligence, he still gave the answer very quickly, and said with a suppressed voice: " It's no secret that the Empress Dowager Zhao is promiscuous by nature. She became the royal family at the beginning, which already caused dissatisfaction among the elders of the clan. There is no place to stand. For this reason, the former King Zhao appointed Guo Kai, who supported the Queen Mother of Zhao and Zhao Wangqian, to preside over the overall situation. However, Guo Kai was ambitious, and he was not a dedicated minister, but a treacherous sycophant. When the former Zhao Guo passed away, he naturally stirred up wind and rain in Zhao Guo's court, supporting cronies and suppressing dissidents."

The smile on the corner of Fusu's mouth became sarcastic and contemptuous, and he said coldly: "My minister already knew at the border that Li Mu was killed because of the failure of Gongzi Jia's rebellion. There are not many people who support Gongzi Jia among the elders of Zhao's clan. Under siege, anyone who is not open-eyed and blind knows that the country of Zhao is bound to be defeated. If they can only leave with one person and plan for the funeral, the Zhao family will naturally be willing to do their best to rescue the virtuous and benevolent son Jia, and flee with him to a place where he can survive. However, Guo Kai was greedy for life and afraid of death. I am afraid that this time he did not accept the temptation of Dunwei Shangqing to surrender to our Daqin, but captured Zhao Wangqian and the Queen Mother Zhao and went west to Yanmen Pass to join the Xiongnu. It was because our army attacked Zhao Guo's speed is too fast - among them, Guo Kai is useless at all, he can't make enough life-saving contributions for Da Qin, and a suspicious person like him will never surrender with confidence."

Ying Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "The analysis is good, and it is almost the same as the news received by the Guowei Mansion! Fusu, you are getting better and better, and I am very happy."

But Yingzheng didn't just praise him blindly. At this point, he changed his tone and said in a deep voice, "Fusu, do you know that as a son of man, you have disappointed me by concealing the news of the serious chest injury?"

Fusu's body trembled slightly, and after a long silence, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked straight into Ying Zheng's eyes, and said softly but sharply, "If I told the truth about my injury to my father, you would have already told the truth." I will be transferred back to Xianyang City, and I will never be given another chance to prove myself on the battlefield. Father, you are a person who cannot tolerate failure."

Ying Zheng was so contradicted by his own son that his breath was choked in his chest, and he felt oppressed.

He glared at Fusu angrily, and then said: "Okay, take Hu Hai down to rest, I know you are a genius!"

Fusu smiled slightly, with warmth in his eyes, and an incomparably kind temperament instantly radiated from his whole body.

He knelt down on the spot and bowed his head to Ying Zheng, and said softly, "Thank you, Father, for cultivating my son over the years."

Before the words were finished, Fusu quickly got up holding Hu Hai who was still sleeping, and left in a cool way.

Ying Zheng, who stayed in the king's chariot, stared fiercely at the direction in which the eldest son disappeared. After a long time, a happy smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, which he couldn't suppress no matter what.

The fifteen statues on the bird stand seemed to feel the joy in Ying Zheng's heart. They leaped high and kept flapping their wings in the king's chariot. Things don't matter.

Hu Hai was sleeping soundly, but he couldn't sleep anymore because of the continuous sound of "Didi" in his ears. After careful observation, he found that the points that he hadn't moved for a long time were skyrocketing, constantly refreshing his expectations.

Hu Hai raised his head to look at Fusu, but saw a relaxed smile on Fusu's face as if he had thrown away his burden.

Hu Hai couldn't help being stunned, then pulled Fusu's lapel hard, grabbed his collar and leaned forward to kiss Fusu's cheek, and said in a daze, "Brother smiles so beautifully now."

Fusu looked at Hu Hai's clear and direct eyes, leaned over and kissed his tender face, the smile in his eyes grew stronger, but he didn't say a word to explain why he laughed so heartily, Hu Hai couldn't help but walk all the way They kept pestering him to ask why.

Fusu gently patted Hu Hai's back, and the familiar method made Hu Hai sleep in his arms again, drooling.

Fu Su thought in his heart: I had a sincere talk with my father today, he has regarded me as an adult who can take charge of his own affairs, what could be more heartwarming than this?I have never gained the trust of my father until my death, and he can never rest assured of my ability.

After nearly a month's journey, Ying Zheng took Fu Su and Hu Hai into Handan City without haste.

This city used to be extremely glorious, but at this time, it seems that the irreversible prosperity has faded as the leaves of the autumn leaves leave the branches. There are no pedestrians coming and going on the streets, and there are no merchants selling goods. I can't even see the arrogant nobles of Zhao's clan.

Everything is so silent, and the silence makes the city's desolation and dilapidation even more glaring.

But today is different, when Ying Zheng appeared on the four-horse king's chariot, the cheers and shouts of the soldiers of the Qin Army resounded in the city of Handan, and the city that had been deposited for a long time finally regained its vitality.

It's a pity that after conquering Handan and becoming the new owner of Zhao State's old capital, they obviously didn't have the same joy, and the people of Zhao State who secretly looked at Ying Zheng through the window obviously had extremely similar emotions to Ying Zheng's. It is full of hostility and hatred—the Qin army defeated the Zhao army and killed the Zhao army to the last, and the ending of the Battle of Changping was repeated in Handan City. People hated it to the bone, and Qin Wang Yingzheng became their eternal enemy.

"Zhao Gao, go to the highest place in the royal city." Ying Zheng issued an order with unknown meaning, and his face became more and more ugly.

Zhao Gao felt the low air pressure from Yingzheng as soon as he entered the gate of Handan City, and he didn't dare to breathe. Hearing Yingzheng's order, he immediately turned the car silently and drove towards the highest peak of Wangcheng.

Along the way, only the sound of wheels and wheels could be heard, but not the slightest human voice.

Fusu hugged Hu Hai and sat in Yingzheng's royal chariot, watching his father's behavior and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Fusu knew very well that his father still hadn't put aside his prejudice against the Zhao people, and returning to this city that reminded his father of his childhood humiliation made Yingzheng's mood very unstable.

Before Fusu could think of how to speak, Hu Hai twisted his body and got up and threw himself at Yingzheng's feet, pulled his hem, raised his head and said crisply: "Father, I'm hungry, why don't we eat first? "

Yingzheng's thoughts were originally wandering, but he suddenly heard the young son's voice and was so dazed that he couldn't answer his question immediately. But after a while, Yingzheng was completely awake, and looked at Hu Hai who was staring at him rubbing his stomach. Unable to hold back his cold face any longer, he couldn't help laughing.

He sighed, took Hu Hai into his arms, pointed to the southwest of Handan City, and said in a low voice: "I lived in that direction when I was a child, but now I see it very strangely, and I don't even know this city anymore."

Hu Hai tilted his head to look at the location Ying Zheng pointed out, and asked without thinking, "Did the food that Dad ate when he was a child taste good?"

Ying Zheng didn't expect Hu Hai to ask such a question, and blurted out in a daze: "How can it compare with the delicacies in Xianyang Palace."

Hu Hai bit his lip in boredom, and sighed old-fashionedly: "It doesn't seem to be a good place. Father, the better it is. However, there is no good food, this place is really terrible!"

No matter how much grief Ying Zheng originally had in his heart, after a thoughtless conversation with Hu Hai, Ying Zheng could no longer bring up any intense emotions.

He looked at Handan City again out of boredom, waved his hands boringly, and said directly to Zhao Gao: "Forget it, it's just an empty city. It's meaningless to look at it again. Let's take the widow to rest. After a month of galloping on the road, the widow hasn't seen it for a long time." I can rest."

Hu Hai lay in Ying Zheng's arms, poked his head out and met Fu Su's eyes, his big black and white eyes smiled into a curved crescent, and two rows of white teeth were exposed in his small ruddy mouth.

Fu Su met his gaze, and nodded with a smile as well, and the smile on Hu Hai's face suddenly became more cheerful.

"Your Majesty, General Wang Jian found a jade bi that was as big as he was holding in both hands in the fugitive minister Guo Kai's mansion..." Zhao Gao whispered the news to the carriage.

Ying Zheng, who was holding Hu Hai, suddenly squeezed the armrest tightly, and said in shock, "Heshibi?!"
