Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 422 Zhao Si is actually the eldest son’s child? (Additional update for Nuanyang 1314 boss Baiyinmeng)

The dinner lasted for almost half an hour before it was finally over.

But with three generations living under one roof, there are still many topics to talk about.

Zhao Si is a little uncomfortable after all, but it seems that the roles of the First Emperor and Fusu have changed quickly, and there is no trace of embarrassment in their conversations, even though Zhao Si has not yet been included in the clan wall.

"Father, Yingnu...Zhao Ying is Si'er's mother after all, and Zhao Xie is Si'er's biological uncle after all. The chaos in the Zhao family..." Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Fusu finally settled the matter that he had been holding back for a long time. brought it up.

It would be inappropriate to say that Fusu was too kind.

You must know that when Fusu was guarding Longxi, he never used a gentle policy.

Not only that, the openness of Longxi required a lot of manpower and material resources, and the construction of the Great Wall required countless labor. Fusu never showed any kindness or weakness.

His kindness is directed toward those with whom he is related.

Relatives, subordinates, brothers and sisters.

Fusu was a standard noble in the strict sense. Like most nobles of this era, Fusu didn't have much kindness in his heart towards people who had nothing to do with him.

The First Emperor frowned upon hearing this, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

Although the truth is such that the First Emperor could not slaughter all the Zhao clan without questioning the truth, but the First Emperor was not so happy when these words came from Fusu's mouth.

Especially at such inappropriate times.

No matter how you say it, Zhao Xie is a rebel. To be fair, the First Emperor didn't want Zhao Si to have too much to do with his mother clan, so it seems quite disappointing to mention it at this time.

But his good saint-grandson was by his side after all. As Fusu said, Zhao Ying was Zhao Si's mother after all, and Zhao Xie was Zhao Si's uncle after all. Therefore, the First Emperor did not say anything for sure, but just looked at Zhao Si. Si, waiting for Zhao Si to express his position.

"Everything is entirely up to Your Majesty." Zhao Si scratched his head when he saw the atmosphere was slightly deadlocked.

Zhao Si probably understood why the father-son relationship between Fusu and the First Emperor was so rigid.

Fusu seems to have a deep suspicion about his father? Are you even sure that your father is a ruthless person?

From Zhao Si's perspective, there was no reason for the First Emperor to kill Zhao Ji and Zhao Ying, his nominal uncle and mother.

It's not necessary. All the Zhao clan were captured and taken to Xianyang, living under the nose of the First Emperor.

Why did the First Emperor slaughter all the Zhao clan and do such an outrageous thing?

Fusuti's words are obviously superfluous...

From Zhao Si's perspective, the First Emperor never killed meritorious people indiscriminately, nor did he massacre them wantonly. He was responsible for his ministers, was willing to take the blame for his ministers, and was tolerant of others. In addition to the fact that he did not regard the common people as human beings. , the image of the First Emperor in Zhao Si's heart was very good.

But after Zhao Si's observation, Zhao Si always felt that Fusu always had a deep fear and distrust of the First Emperor deep in his heart?

Zhao Si was not sure that the first emperor he saw was the most real one. After all, when he returned to Qin, the first emperor was already in his twilight years.

Because of this, Zhao Si became a little curious. In Fusu's growth experience, what did the First Emperor do to make Fusu have such a strong sense of distrust towards the First Emperor.

Why did the father-son relationship come to this point? So much so that Fusu would rather believe that Hu Hai's false edict was really written by his father.

Zhao Si's answer, as always, it was entirely up to the First Emperor to make the decision, made the First Emperor feel a little better.

After all, there is a difference between a good eldest son and a good saintly grandson.

Therefore, the First Emperor nodded and glanced at Fusu: "I have my own thoughts on this matter. You don't need to say anything. It's getting late, so please retreat."

The First Emperor waved his hand to chase away the people, hoping to make Fusu disappear in front of him.

Fusu was used to it. Many times he spoke to the First Emperor not to give advice, but to express his attitude. The main reason was that even if he gave advice, the First Emperor would not listen.

Just drive people away. Fu Su stood up and straightened his clothes out of habit. Then he looked at Zhao Si and said, "You and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We will come home more often in the future."

Zhao Si nodded, and after Fusu said that, he bowed and left.

The first emperor was left to look at Zhao Si with big eyes and small eyes. Zhao Si had obviously received too much information today. He also needed time to think through these things carefully. Seeing that his suddenly extra father was gone, so I also planned to get up and resign.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, sir..."

"What are you calling me for?" The First Emperor strategically leaned back and looked at his beloved grandson with a half-smile.

"It's called Shunzui..." Zhao Si scratched his head and looked a little embarrassed.

He was thinking about slipping to his knees, but when things really came to pass, even though Zhao Si didn't resist, it still took some time to adapt.

"From now on, in the palace, we will not care about the emperor and his ministers, but only care about our ancestors and grandchildren..." The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si's sly smile and nodded.

Maybe it's a psychological factor. I liked this kid Zhao Si, but now I like him even more. So much so that even when he smiles, he feels naive.

"Here, grandson..." Zhao Si originally wanted to say that grandson knew, but he froze there for a long time, unable to come out.

It's a bit embarrassing, to be honest.

"This, my... grandson... it's dark..." Zhao Si held it in for a long time and almost lost his ability to speak. He couldn't wait to be alone for a while so that he could accept it all as soon as possible.

The more eager a person is, the more he will shrink back when things happen. Zhao Si was an orphan in his last life, and he will be an orphan in this life as well. Deep down in his heart, he naturally longs for family affection, but when it really hit him, he had a real relative. , but felt a little trepidatious.

"Okay, let's take a rest early." The First Emperor shook his head and smiled, waving his hand.

After hearing the sound, Zhao Si stood up as if he had been granted amnesty, but felt that his performance seemed inappropriate, so he stood there and watched the First Emperor with a smile on his face in silence for a long time before speaking: "Father, please rest early."

"Don't worry, there has been a lot of government affairs recently, and they need to be reviewed properly." The First Emperor shook his head and smiled.

Zhao Si nodded and walked away, but when he stepped in front of the door, he suddenly paused and said, "My eldest father was already sick from overwork. I can leave state affairs to the ministers. When my eldest father is here, the state of Qin is here."

The First Emperor laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Go and have a rest quickly, let Qian take you to live in my old pavilion. From now on, you will live in the palace, and entering and exiting the palace is prohibited. No need for separate notifications."

"Ah?" Zhao Si was stunned for a moment.

He thought the First Emperor had asked him to go home and sleep.

Co-author, will you live in the palace from now on?

Living in the palace where the First Emperor lived when he was a child?

"This...I'm an adult...it's not appropriate." Zhao Si said.

"It's nothing inappropriate. I only allow you to live in the palace, but it doesn't mean that you can't leave the palace." The First Emperor glared.

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Si still wanted to struggle.

"This is the emperor's order!" The First Emperor knocked on the table in a serious manner, and seemed quite unhappy in the face of Zhao Si's struggle.

Zhao Si was a little helpless, okay, the power of explanation lies entirely with the First Emperor, and he was too lazy to struggle. The top priority now was not where to go back, but that Zhao Si urgently needed a space to be alone to accept all this as soon as possible and put some things into perspective. Please figure it out.

The change of identity was too sudden and too drastic. There are many things involved in the royal family. Naturally, Zhao Si cannot just follow the trend like before. He must make some plans for his life.

There was no way, after all, no matter how close we were before, no matter how lofty our status was, we were just professional managers and professional wage earners at best.

Now, Zhao Si has changed. He also owns shares of Daqin Company and enjoys part of the inheritance rights of the largest shareholder, Shi Huangdi.

The way of doing things, expectations for the future, many things, including Zhao Si's thoughts, all need some changes. It will take a long time for Zhao Si to think clearly.

Zhao Si left here in a hurry, and the palace servants came in to clean up the messy tables and cups. The First Emperor once again dealt with the few remaining memorials by the light.

On the other side, the eldest son Fusu has also returned home by car.

Fusu's Yuancong Baiying stepped forward and took the reins from the driver's hand, and welcomed Fusu to get out of the car.

Fusu came out of the car, with a look of contemplation on his face and a frown on his face.

"The eldest son looks worried?" Bai Ying said softly.

"There are some things going on in the palace today. Why are you in the palace today?" Fusu asked.

Bai Ying has been out of the palace to help with affairs in recent days. At this time, it is already dark, so he should not appear in his mansion.

"Eldest Young Master..." Bai Ying sighed upon hearing this.

"I got a piece of news from Lingnan. The eldest son should read it himself..." Bai Ying sighed and took out the report from his arms and handed it to Fusu.

When Fusu saw Bai Ying sighing and heard about Lingnan again, his first instinctive reaction was to think of his eighteenth brother Hu Hai who suffered in Lingnan. When he heard the sound, he ignored other things and hurriedly took the report and opened it quickly.

Looking intently, Fusu was dazzled by the few words.

"How could this be? Didn't I already send someone to take care of it?" Fusu squeezed the report in his hand, and the white paper crumpled into a ball.

Hu Hai is dead...

Death from miasma, also known as malaria.

Not long ago, for unknown reasons, Hu Hai was suddenly infected with miasma. As a result, his body took a turn for the worse and he suffered from severe fever. It was difficult to treat him with medicine and stone. After a few days, he died of miasma.

"Lingnan is already remote and full of miasma... The Eighteenth Young Master..." Bai Ying sighed.

In fact, Bai Ying and Hu Hai's senses are not very good. Not only Bai Ying, but also Fusu's supporters probably don't have a good impression of Hu Hai's senses.

Fusu is a truly good brother, but they have nothing to do with Hu Hai.

Hu Hai was often close to the First Emperor before, but later he had unreasonable thoughts because the First Emperor had not established a direct heir for a long time. Hu Hai died of miasma, and Bai Ying could only say that he died a good death.

But Fusu's brotherly love for Hu Hai was real, so Bai Ying could only sigh.

"In Lingnan, few people in the past died well. Most of the people who moved to Lingnan lived less than thirty years. This is also fate. The eldest son, please express your condolences. The urgent matter now is the death of the eighteenth son. "Bai Ying said.

"The Eighteenth Young Master left early, but there are still three children under his knees. The eldest is only nine years old, and the youngest is just five years old. The Eighteenth Young Master made a mistake, and they had no choice but to follow the Eighteenth Young Master to Lingnan. Now the Eighteenth Young Master Now that he has passed away, your majesty cannot turn your resentment on the children again. The eldest son can ask your majesty to bring the children of the eighteenth son from Lingnan to be raised by his side and restore their clan status. Only in this way can the soul of the deceased be comforted. ." Bai Ying said.

Hu Hai's death was not surprising, after all, the survival rate in Lingnan was indeed not high.

Besides, it's a good thing that Hu Hai is dead.

Bai Ying took advantage of the situation and made suggestions...

He does hate Hu Hai, but political creatures never get angry easily.

Now that Hu Hai is dead, Fusu has many benefits from doing this.

"Xiao Shiba has always been cautious, and Gu has sent someone to take good care of him..." Fusu frowned, and his grief was palpable.

"Master, that's Lingnan... Besides, the top priority now is not the eighteenth son, but the eldest son's nephew. Even strong men in Lingnan can't bear the miasma, let alone children?" Bai Ying opened his mouth to persuade Fusu not to be entangled.

When Fusu heard this, his compassion finally gained the upper hand.

The deceased has passed away, and it is time for the living to live a better life, so he nodded with sadness.

"I have asked my father to send someone to take my nephew back to the pass. Xiao Shiba has been affected by the miasma, and there are only three children left. Don't let anyone lose again." Fusu said in a deep voice.

Having said that, Fusu still couldn't hide his sadness. He held the memorial in his hand and read it over and over again. After all, he was still separated from heaven and man...

"When I entered the palace today, I suddenly heard that there was still an heir left in the wild. I finally got to see him today. I was originally happy, but I just got home and received such a sad message... Why did God..." Fusu said drowsily. Open your mouth.

"Young master, please put your body first..." Bai Ying supported Fusu's body and suddenly captured the key point keenly.

"Young Master just said that there are still heirs..." Bai Ying asked softly.

"As I asked you to investigate earlier, Zhao Si was originally my Yu Yingnu's child..." Fusu sighed.

Bai Yingzhi couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard this.

Zhao Si is actually the eldest son’s child!

Really!

Previously, Bai Ying was appointed by Fusu to investigate the relationship between Zhao Si and Yingnu, and thus learned some secret things.

At that time, Bai Ying was very excited.

Just as Fusu guessed, Bai Ying also subconsciously guessed whether Zhao Si was Fusu's child, and even hoped in his heart that Zhao Si was Fusu's child.

After all, although the eldest son has the appearance of a prince, is full of people in the court, and has countless supporters, the First Emperor has been delaying the appointment of the prince so far that Fusu is now nearly forty, and the title of prince has been called for twenty years. For many years, I have never sat on it.

Every year he is the most promising person to become the crown prince, but he is not the crown prince every year.

Bai Ying certainly hopes that there will be some unexpected surprises.

Who is Zhao Si! That was the closest minister to the First Emperor in history.

His closeness has reached the point where important officials in the court are outraged by him.

It can even influence the decision-making and will of the First Emperor.

Hey!

Double happiness!

Obviously, people's joys and sorrows are not the same...
