Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

"It was during the time when he taught me Confucianism..."

"The content and scope of the knowledge being taught are now found to be very wrong, and also..."

After listening to Fusu's long analysis, Ying Zheng patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"Excellent! My son has grown up!"

Fusu felt a little numb at that moment.

He came to see Ying Zheng, not for his purpose of seeking praise.

He wanted Ying Zheng to deal with the Confucianists!

"Father's ambitions as a Confucian are absolutely grand! Even I have been influenced by them without realizing it!"

"I know I know."

Ying Zheng waved his hand dismissively, and Fusu immediately felt somewhat dejected.

Could it be that even Father Emperor...

"However, before you analyzed it for me, the Grand Preceptor had already analyzed it for me."

"The King and the Grand Preceptor have also devised a complete set of plans for dealing with Confucianism."

A complete set of solutions?

When Fusu, who was just feeling sad and anxious, heard this, he slowly typed out three question marks.

Listen to this! Is this even human language?

Thinking of Mr. Tang's usual style of doing things, coupled with the Emperor's iron-fisted methods.

Fusu couldn't help but silently mourn for Confucianism for three seconds.

After all, Confucianism, one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, will probably disappear from this point on!

Fusu now realizes that his reaction may have been a bit too much of a worrying one.

After all, if even I can think of the shortcomings and issues, why can't my father and Mr. Tang think of them?

Looking at it this way, I realized I had underestimated my father and Mr. Tang!

The father and son tacitly skipped over the topic the next moment.

They stood by the river and chatted like any ordinary father and son.

Watching the fish thrashing about in the artificial lake, Ying Zheng threw out a handful of food, and the fish immediately began to frantically scramble for it.

At this moment, he looked at Fusu beside him, his tone full of meaning.

"Fusu!"

"Father, I am here."

"Did you see the fish in this lake?"

Fusu nodded.

"They are scrambling to grab the food that the Emperor throws down; the competition is fierce!"

In the end, Fusu also felt pity.

Ying Zheng, however, said:

"Yes, they're fighting over it because there's only so much food!"

Do you think this amount of food is enough for these fish?

Fusu shook his head without thinking.

"How can such a large group of fish possibly eat just a handful of food?"

"Fusu, this is the principle your father wants to impart to you!"

"These fish are not just fish in the lake, they are each and every one of us!"

"This handful of grain represents an opportunity in this world, and everyone must fight for it, or their fate will be the same as this fish."

"What happens to fish that can't get food and go hungry for a long time?"

Fusu immediately bowed in response.

"will die!"

"Yes, they will die!"

"Therefore, this world has always been a world of great strife!"

"Strong is strong! Weak is dead! You can't get anything if you don't fight for it, Fusu!"

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Fusu, and his eyes showed a hint of affection.

“In the past, when you listened to the Confucian scholars, their words were not without reason.”

"However, this is simply not applicable to the current Qin state or to you."

"Perhaps there is some merit to their appeasement and kindness."

"What I want to tell you is that this Great Qin was not achieved through appeasement and benevolence!"

"My position is not something that comes from appeasement and benevolence; it requires struggle and fight for it."

"I...Father...I understand the reasoning!"

Fusu's lips were constantly touching, clearly indicating that he had understood the message Ying Zheng wanted to convey.

Previously, Fusu always listened to the opinions of Confucian scholars.

He felt that Ying Zheng was wrong and cruel, but now he realized that he seemed to have missed his father.

Didn't Father know there were other methods? But none of them worked!

These Confucian scholars often speak based on mere assumptions.

Or rather, it's like speaking from God's perspective, being easy to talk about when you're not the one suffering, while the one handling these matters is the Emperor.

Seeing that his son listened attentively, Ying Zheng was very happy.

This method was taught to him by Tang Yu.

Just before Tang Yu left, he suddenly looked at Ying Zheng, his tone somewhat teasing.

"Brother Zheng, I'll teach you a way to communicate well with Fusu in the future."

Hearing this, Zheng Ge, who was usually indifferent to everything, subconsciously spoke up:

"any solution?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu immediately wore a strange expression.

Ying Zheng blushed slightly when Tang Yu stared at him like that.

"Mr. Tang, please don't tease me! Tell me quickly!"

"It's really too easy for Your Majesty to have a proper conversation with Prince Fusu."

"It all depends on whether our Emperor is willing to do it!"

"any solution?"

Tang Yu's reply to Ying Zheng was a few words repeated again.

"Communicate effectively."

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Tang?"

Ying Zheng was completely baffled.

"Was my communication with Fusu always tense and hostile?"

"No, Your Majesty, your past communications with Fusu were not exactly tense."

"But you're also taking a didactic approach, speaking from a top-down perspective, forcing him to agree with everything you say!"

"But if you approach him from an equal standpoint and talk to him properly, you can communicate effectively."

"Try to understand each other, and tell Fusu the reasons and difficulties you have in doing this."

"I believe that with Fusu's talent, he will definitely understand Your Majesty."

That's why the scene just now happened.

Ying Zheng was also quite emotional at this moment.

In the end, my life has been spent in a constant struggle.

From my youth to now.

From a hostage in the State of Zhao to Qin Shi Huang, who swept across the land and unified the six kingdoms.

There's still a road ahead he needs to fight for!

"I have lived a life of constant anxiety, do you think I can ever reach the other side?"

Fusu: Brother Bo Bing?

Ying Zheng's old face immediately darkened.

This was something Tang Yu had casually mentioned during a previous conversation with him.

Ying Zheng found it exceptionally profound and reasonable, so he quoted it here.

But Fusu's reaction was something he hadn't expected.

"Therefore, nothing comes for free; everything must be fought for!"

"Back when I was a hostage in Zhao, I was fighting to reclaim power from Qin. I've been fighting my whole life!"

"But Father, why was I made Crown Prince without even having to fight for it?"

"you……"

Fusu's words nearly made Ying Zheng faint with anger, but he gritted his teeth and said:

"Of course it's because of what you want to fight for! Your father already fought for it for you back then!"
