Chapter 62 I Grant You Half a Day of Leisure
Chunyu Yue was originally the hidden leader of Confucianism.
When these words were spoken, and with Fu Sheng reciting the text beside them, the other Confucian scholars could no longer force him.
Everyone dispersed, and soon, Chunyu Yue and Fu Sheng were the only ones left in the room.
Chunyu Yue was dressed in a white elegant scholar's robe, with a frown on his face and a look of uncertainty.
The eldest prince did not attend the court meeting today. Is he so seriously ill?
But how could there be no signs of such a serious illness before?
"But are you still worried about the eldest son?" Fu Sheng handed Chunyu Yue a cup of hot water.
Chunyu Yue didn't hear it, his mind was occupied, thinking quickly about Ying Fusu. His right hand unconsciously took the hot water and brought it to his mouth.
"S~"
The burning pain from his lips interrupted Chunyu Yue's thoughts.
Chunyu Yuesi breathed out cold air, his hands trembled, and the hot water in the cup spilled onto his hands, causing pain on the skin of his hands.
His right hand felt pain and he subconsciously loosened his grip, causing the teacup to fall to the ground and break.
"I'll get some cool water!"
"No need." Chun Yuyue stopped Fu Sheng and said helplessly: "Alas, this disaster has finally happened. Brother Fu, do you usually drink water this hot?"
Fu Sheng smiled awkwardly, with a hint of embarrassment in his expression, and said, "It doesn't happen often, five out of ten times, right?"
Chunyu Yue pointed at the hot water scattered on the ground and asked suspiciously, "Brother Fu, can you drink boiling water?"
Fu Sheng pointed at his upper lip and showed it to Chun Yuyue.
Chunyu Yue came forward to take a look and was somewhat unable to believe it.
There was something on Fusheng's lips that looked like a callus.
The thing looked exactly like a callus, but Chunyu Yue was not sure because he had never heard of anyone getting calluses on their lips.
"Of course I can't drink it. I get burned all the time. This callus is caused by the burn."
Chun Yuyue was speechless for a long time, and then he said quietly: "Brother Fu, can't you check the water temperature before drinking it?"
"It's not that I'm careless, but I get so engrossed in reading that I forget everything else. "
"...Brother Fu, why did you pour me a cup of boiling water when I wasn't reading?"
"This... the more I see you frowning, the more I think about how to cheer you up, and I forget everything else."
“…”
Chunyu Yue patted Fusheng's shoulder and brushed off the non-existent dust on it.
"Brother Fu's knowledge can become the best of Confucianism, which comes from his single-mindedness."
Squatting down, Chunyu Yue picked up the broken pieces of teacup on the brick floor.
Fortunately, this teacup was made of clay, not ceramic, so although it broke, it only broke into two pieces.
"Even earthen cups can break!" Fu Sheng sighed.
Earthenware teacups are very sturdy and the cup body is not brittle.
Normally, it won't break if it falls to the ground.
"Is there any unbreakable cup in the world?" Chunyu Yue replied casually.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned, staring at the earthenware teacup in his hand that was broken into two pieces, somewhat confused.
I was just thinking about Master Chang and accidentally dropped this earthen teacup on the ground.
The earthen teacup should not have broken. Is this God's sign to me something?
Could it be that the eldest son has really changed?
"Brother Chunyu, what are you looking at?"
Fu Sheng saw Chunyu Yue's expression changing constantly, and following Chunyu Yue's line of sight, he also looked at the earthenware teacup that was broken into two pieces.
After looking for a while, Fusheng couldn't see anything.
There is nothing special about this earthen teacup. Could it be that it has any meaning to Brother Chunyu?
"Brother Fu, I will leave for now. I will go to the palace to see the eldest son."
"Didn't your majesty just say a few days ago that the eldest son was ill and couldn't see anyone?"
"Perhaps, the eldest son has recovered from his illness now."
Chunyu Yue said calmly.
But although his face looked calm, there was an undercurrent in his heart.
Is it that the eldest son should not see anyone, or is he not allowed to see anyone?
The court meeting was over.
After leaving the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng walked between the corridors wearing a brand new black crown and robes.
The crown trembled as Ying Zheng walked, and the mysterious black bird embroidered on it seemed to come alive, flapping its wings up and down, as if it would break free from the restraints of the clothes and fly high in the next second.
After passing a corridor with four corners of flying eaves and a steep top, a green spring water lake appeared.
Carp kept jumping out of the water, and each leap would create a small splash of water.
The golden sunlight shines on the carp scales, and the magnificent light brings new life to this already vibrant Chunshui Lake.
Ying Zheng stopped.
I don't know where he got the free time today, but he suddenly wanted to feed the koi carps raised in the Xianyang Palace.
"Zhao Gao."
"I am here."
"Do you have any bait?"
Gai Nie, who was following Ying Zheng, had a blank face, but his mood did not match his expression.
Your Majesty, you didn't say you wanted to feed the fish before leaving, so how come Zhao Gao had bait on him?
Then, Zhao Gao took out a package wrapped in a lotus leaf from the inside of the eunuch's uniform, tore open a corner of the lotus leaf, and handed it to Ying Zheng with both hands.
"have."
Gai Nie: ...
Why did Zhao Gao have bait on him?
Did Your Majesty tell him to feed the fish before he left?
Ying Zheng was not surprised at all, as he had long been accustomed to Zhao Gao's thoughtfulness.
He grabbed the lotus leaf bag and poured the bait in the lotus leaf into the lake through the gap that Zhao Gao had just torn.
It is not allowed to fish or catch the carp in this lake.
Over time, the carp in the lake lost their vigilance and precautions, and would swim over in droves as long as someone fed them and provided them with food.
Soon, the area in front of Ying Zheng was filled with fat carps with their mouths wide open, swallowing fish food.
For a moment, there was no calm spot on the water surface. Everywhere you look, there are koi carps vying for food.
The First Emperor threw bait, and thousands of carp came.
If the people of Xianyang saw this scene, they would not even dare to brag about it, and would only regard it as a miracle.
Gai Nie had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes were full of confusion as he looked at the carp fighting for food in the lake, and then at Zhao Gao.
Why do you bring bait?
Zhao Gao noticed Gai Nie's gaze, met Gai Nie's gaze, and understood the confusion in Gai Nie's eyes.
As a result, confusion appeared in Zhao Gao's eyes.
Didn’t you bring it?
Gai Nie: ...
You are the commander of the Central Chariot Office, and I am the commander of the seals and talismans. Including the shady positions of the secret guards, you are the deputy commander, and I am the commander.
There is no position here that requires us to bring bait! Why are you confused about me not bringing bait?
"Zhao Gao."
After feeding the fish, Ying Zheng held a lotus leaf in his hand, turned his back to Gai Nie and Zhao Gao, and looked down at the scene of thousands of carp fighting for food.
"I'm here." Zhao Gao said respectfully.
With his head lowered and his waist bent, he looked just like when he was facing Ying Zheng head on.
Gai Nie's mouth twitched.
Sir, I think I understand what you mean by "licking the dog".
How can a real man
"Go to the case desk in Zhangtai Palace and find the decree that Fusu sent to Shangjun, that is, the bamboo slip with blood stains, and burn it."
"only."
"There is nothing to do in the palace today. I have Gai Nie to protect me. Burn the bamboo slips and I will allow you to have half a day to relax."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
