Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 122 Li Si Talks About the Past

At this time, an insignificant incident occurred: the physician's disciple was diagnosed with an illness and was sent out of the palace.

Haoxu hurried over with a medicine box to treat the King of Chu.

"Doctor, how is the king?"

Chang Jing was standing by and when he saw the doctor let go of his hand, he asked hurriedly.

Prince Ji was also standing beside him.

These days, Prince Ji feels a little unreal.

His father was injured and he became the crown prince of Chu. His younger brothers who used to bully him no longer dared to bully him.

Even the servants were respectful to him.

There is also Ling Yin, who has been taking me out and teaching me these days.

Haoxu sighed and took Prince Ji and Ling Yin out of the inner room.

"Your Majesty may only have ten days left. The Governor should make preparations early."

After hearing this, Chang Jing felt a black screen in front of his eyes and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Prince Ji supported Chang Jing.

"Is there any other way?"

Although he knew it was hopeless, Chang Jing couldn't help but ask.

Haoxu shook his head.

In an instant, Chang Jing seemed to have aged a lot.

"Please, doctor, please do not spread the news of the king's illness."

"promise."

When Haoxu returned to his residence, many guards were soon arranged outside. Haoxu smiled and didn't care.

"Ling Yin, my father is ill."

"Prince, don't tell anyone about this."

Before Prince Ji could finish speaking, Chang Jing came to his senses, grabbed Prince Ji's arm, stared into Prince Ji's eyes and gave him instructions.

"This is a matter of great importance. Does your Highness understand?"

"Don't worry, Ling Yin, I won't tell."

"Okay, okay, Prince, please go see the King. I need to make some arrangements."

"The governor will go on his own."

After Chang Jing left, Prince Ji came to Fu Chu's bedroom.

Looking at Fu Chu, who was now lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his face pale, Prince Ji felt calm.

Over the years, the father and son have met very rarely, making it difficult for them to have a deep father-son relationship.

Even when he was appointed as the Crown Prince of Chu, Crown Prince Ji still felt it was a bit absurd.

He didn't have much ambition. He originally thought that being an ordinary prince of Chu was much better than ordinary people. He didn't expect that he would become the crown prince of Chu and the future king.

Just looking at my father at this moment.

Being a king is not that glorious.

He had learned a lot of things in the past few days. He knew how his father had obtained the throne, and he also knew that his father had become like this now because someone had done it on purpose.

Today I saw my father vomiting blood because of the affairs of the Chu State.

Now fear is greater than anything else in my heart.

The prince sat alone in his bedroom, lost in thought for a long time, until King Fu Chu of Chu woke up. He watched the eunuch feed the king the medicine before leaving.

The next day, Chang Jing discussed with the court officials and sent envoys to Qin to seek peace.

The people from the Qu and Jing families recommended themselves, but were rejected by Chang Jing. In the end, Lu He was chosen to go.

Zhangtai Palace

"Fusu,"

Ying Zheng talked about the letter from the State of Chu. After reading it, he asked Fusu to take it.

"Father, the State of Chu is asking for peace."

Ying Zheng nodded, looked at the increasingly calm Fusu, and asked, "Chu is seeking peace, what should Qin do?"

Fusu thought for a moment and replied, "Father, I think you should agree."

"Tell me."

"Father, the King of Chu is seriously ill. This incident seems strange. I believe it was Prince Xiong You who did it. There is civil unrest in Chu right now. If Qin continues to attack Chu, Chu will surely unite against Qin."

"If we postpone our military action, the crisis in Chu will be resolved, but Chu will inevitably be in civil strife."

"The Qin State has expanded too rapidly in recent years. We can take this opportunity to recuperate and stabilize the people's hearts."

"Hahahaha" Ying Zheng laughed after hearing this.

"It seems I have to thank Mr. Zhang very much."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu with satisfaction.

Then he asked Shi Yi to go to the warehouse to select some treasures and send them to the Right Prime Minister's residence.

For a moment, all the court officials in Xianyang City sighed.

The Right Prime Minister is deeply favored and we are far from being able to compare to him.

Seeing his teacher receive the reward, Fusu also smiled.

I'm afraid many court officials will be jealous again.

"Father, the Imperial Court Judge Wang Wan submitted a memorial stating that the spring plowing has been very successful in recent years. After the autumn harvest, the people of the old Zhao land will surely feel at peace."

"So good."

Ying Zheng stopped writing and then remembered that Wang Wan had been sent out by him for a year.

"Father, Minister Wang Wan also praised quite a few people. Please take a look."

Ying Zheng took the memorial and looked at the names on it. Many of them were people who passed the assessment of Daqin Academy last year.

"These people are good. Let's assign them official positions according to Wang Wan's suggestion."

"promise."

Fusu took the memorial and began to respond seriously.

"Father, the Minister of Agriculture has submitted a memorial stating that the winter wheat that farmer Xu Xing experimented with last year is growing very well. After the harvest, it can be planted on a large scale."

When talking about this, Fusu's eyes lit up.

"If winter wheat is viable, then the barren lands of Qin could be used to grow winter wheat on a large scale. When the harvest is good, the people could have more food left in their homes."

"That's right. Have the Minister of Agriculture tell the farmers that if there's a good winter wheat harvest next year, I'll definitely reward them generously."

"Mr. Xu Xing will definitely be happy when he finds out."

The father and son got along harmoniously, and at this time Li Si, Feng Quji and Meng Yi had already arrived in Hanzhong.

This is the first branch college of Daqin College, and the three of them dare not slack off in the slightest.

I came here after construction could begin in the spring.

Now the farmers and workers are busy working on the construction site.

"Li Tingwei, do you think that our establishment of the Great Qin Academy will leave a mark in history books?"

Feng Quji, Li Si and Meng Yi were sitting together for dinner, and Feng Quji asked.

"Why did Feng Tingwei say that?"

"Your Majesty's ambition is to conquer the world. We will assist you in achieving this goal. How can our achievements not be recorded in the history books of the future?"

Li Si spoke proudly, Feng Quji and Meng Yi looked up at Li Si.

"makes sense."

Feng Quji agreed, and Meng Yi nodded hurriedly.

"I only regret that I don't have the talent of the Right Prime Minister and cannot help the king with more of his worries."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Si and Meng Yi stared at Feng Quji.

What are you thinking, old man? You actually want to compare yourself with the Right Prime Minister.

Feng Quji's old face turned red when he was looked at.

"This is just a sentimental statement. I admire the Right Prime Minister's extraordinary talent."

"That is."

When it comes to the right prime minister, Li Si has the most say.

"Back then, I was still an unknown person when I met the Right Prime Minister in the State of Chu."

When they heard Li Si start talking about Zhang Yuanqing's past, Meng Yi and Feng Quji waited curiously for what would happen next.

"When I first met you, I thought you were handsome, gentle and modest, without a trace of the arrogance of a noble family."

"That's why I took the initiative to make friends with the Right Prime Minister."

"Knowing that I was confused at the time, the Right Prime Minister tried to enlighten me several times."

"The Right Prime Minister has a unique vision. After several conversations, he said that I have great talent and can assist the emperor."

Having said that, Li Si couldn't help but look at Feng Quji and Meng Yi with pride.

"That's the Right Prime Minister being humble and polite to you."

Li Si glanced at Feng Quji and knew that this man was jealous of Zhang Yuanqing's appreciation of him, so he didn't bother with him.

"After that, when I was in the State of Chu, I often exchanged ideas with the Right Prime Minister."

"After we became acquainted, the Right Prime Minister once analyzed the world situation with me."
