Chapter 48: Gift of Jade(1/2)
Of course Ying Zheng knew that it was Confucianism who had done this, so he just asked to see what Chen Ke was thinking.
He looked at Chen Ke and kept playing with the brush in his hand.
"Confucianism..."
Ying Zheng's voice was filled with amusement: "Why do Confucians keep staring at you?"
Chen Ke curled his lips, with a smile and sarcasm on his face.
"Because the weak draw their swords and strike at the weaker, but they dare not look at the strong."
"They were dissatisfied with His Majesty, but they did not dare to be enemies with His Majesty, so they could only find someone they thought was weak to attack."
"What's more, I, a weakling, let Chunyu Yue, a great scholar, be sentenced by His Majesty before."
"How can they not be hostile to me?"
This was said very well. It not only praised Ying Zheng, but also placed himself in Ying Zheng's team.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "I agree with what you said last time."
"It's just that you need to control this speed."
"Wang Jian and Li Si have both experienced this. You can discuss it more with them."
Ying Zheng suddenly changed the topic, but this topic shocked Chen Ke.
What did you say last time?
What did you say last time?
Only one piece!
That is "the theory of obscuring the people" and "enlightening the people's wisdom"
That is the second step of his layout.
As for enlightening the people's wisdom, it is just an accessory to this step.
"I will definitely discuss this matter with General Wang and Prime Minister Li. After deliberation, I will bring this matter to court."
Chen Ke's words were very respectful.
Fusu looked at the two people talking normally, with a flash of confusion on his face.
What on earth were the father and the teacher discussing?
Why can't he understand?
But things seem to have been resolved...
So what's the use of him staying here?
Just as Fusu was about to leave, Ying Zheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Fusu.
"Fusu, how did Hu Hai learn from your teacher?"
How is Hu Hai studying?
This question immediately stopped Fusu.
Fusu sat there, feeling even more confused.
Shouldn't this question be asked to Chen Ke? Why ask yourself?
When Chen Ke heard Ying Zheng's question, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Ying Zheng just smiled, waiting for Fusu's answer.
Fusu hesitated for a moment, then said after careful consideration: "Father, my brother Hai learned from his teacher..."
"I'm learning well."
"It's just that this learning doesn't happen in a day, and freezing three feet doesn't happen in a day."
"You may not see any effect now."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng asked softly: "Oh? I want to be the second emperor and take your place."
"Is this considered acceptable?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became even quieter...
Chen Ke also suddenly realized.
It turns out that this is what Brother Zheng was talking about. So what does Brother Zheng mean?
He kept thinking in his mind, but did not speak.
This is a question that belongs to Fusu himself. As a teacher, he does not have to answer it.
It's also a good time to take a look at the changes in Fusu...
And Ying Zheng has exactly this purpose.
He wanted to know what Fusu's answer was to this question, and he also wanted to know if there had been any changes in Fusu's core.
During the period of studying with Chen Ke, Fusu changed a lot.
But it's all on the surface.
When Fusu heard this question, he lowered his head subconsciously, and then raised it again.
He remembered what Chen Ke taught him.
No matter who you are facing, look into their eyes when speaking.
If this person is one of your own, it will make this person feel sincere.
If this person is an enemy, looking into his eyes will make that person feel fear in his heart.
If this person is someone you want to please, then the eye contact can make the person opposite you feel that what you say is true.
He said humbly: "Brother Hai is still young, so it is normal to have such thoughts."
"After all, you are young and have many things to do. It would be good if you learn more from the teacher."
"Say more"
Fusu raised his head, looked into Ying Zheng's eyes, and the smile on his lips looked very sincere.
His eyes were like a vast ocean, extremely calm.
"If Brother Hai is more talented than Fusu, it will be a good thing for Great Qin that my father chooses Brother Hai."
"They are all our father's children, why should they be so clearly distinguished?"
What he said was well-founded and convincing.
And Ying Zheng's reaction made Fusu feel relieved.
I saw a gentle look in Ying Zheng's eyes for a long time.
He looked at Fusu and said, "Very good."
"It seems that you have not wasted any time following Chen Ke during this period."
Ying Zheng was naturally satisfied.
Because what Fu Su said was flawless, frank and aboveboard.
First, he said that Hu Hai was young and what he said was nothing.
Then he said that after learning from Chen Ke, he would get better.
So what was it like now before it got better?
It's naughty.
Finally, he showed his magnanimity and confidence.
The meaning is very simple.
If Hu Hai can surpass him, it will be a good thing for Da Qin, and he will naturally not feel anything.
However, he will not let Hu Hai surpass him.
This is the complete meaning expressed in Fusu dialect.
The Fusu of the past would never have said such words, and such words definitely came from his heart.
Although he is still young, his heart is still too soft.
But Ying Zheng looked at Fu Su and felt that his eldest son, who had always been timid, already had some of the ways of an emperor...
He glanced at Chen Ke who had his head lowered and said nothing.
Is this what Chen Ke calls "the inner saint and the outer king"?
Now that the world has been unified, what is needed is no longer a domineering emperor like himself.
Even if there is still some land that has not been returned to Da Qin, he can still take it into his pocket during his lifetime.
What the next generation of emperors of the Qin Dynasty needs is a monarch who maintains his status.
To be continued...
