[Various] The Deposed Crown Prince's Survival Story

"You...you ran away? Zhao Gao, you call me 'run away'? Explain yourself!" Fusu grabbed Zhao Gao's collar, pointed at him, and asked sharply, "If you can't explain yourself, I'll kill you!"

To emphasize his domineering princely demeanor, Fusu deliberately repeated the "neng" sound with a nasal tone.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Fusu felt something was wrong. He secretly turned around and saw Li Si and his officials staring at him with that deadpan expression.

Oops! I accidentally ruined my image as a cool and aloof prince.

Fusu casually released Zhao Gao, straightened his clothes which he had pulled out of shape, waved his hand behind him, and said to Li Si and the other officials, "The sun is too strong. Since Father is not in the palace, there is no point in staying here. Except for Li Si and Meng Yi, everyone else should go back first."

"Yes!" the crowd bowed and retreated in unison.

After most of the people had left, Fusu grabbed Zhao Gao again and sternly rebuked him, "Speak! Explain yourself!"

Zhao Gao gave an awkward smile and looked to Li Si and Meng Yi for help. Li Si immediately looked up at the sky and Meng Yi looked down at the ground.

The sun is so round today!

The floor of Xianyang Palace is flat!

Zhao Gao could only silently withdraw his gaze, turn to look at Fusu, and say with a bitter expression, "Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me. Everything was decided by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and has nothing to do with me. Please let go, okay?"

"Then tell me, where did Father Emperor go?" Fusu twitched the corner of his mouth, loosened Zhao Gao's collar, and figured that as long as this guy wasn't stupid, he shouldn't lie to him.

"His Majesty the Emperor has gone to the new palace. He said that the new palace will be his residence from now on, and the Xianyang Palace will be left to His Highness the Crown Prince," Zhao Gao said.

The new palace that Zhao Gao referred to was designed by Fusu and his five treasures. Due to the issue of manpower, it was not completed within a year as in history, but was built over several years and was only largely completed last month.

Out of concern for his health—fearing poisoning from the renovation—Fusu planned to ventilate the house for six months before moving in. Who knew… Ying Zheng would strike first.

Baby is upset, baby is sad, baby is suffering, baby's room has been taken over by dad.

"And His Majesty the Emperor left two hours ago..." Zhao Gao closed his eyes, hardened his heart, and told Fusu an extremely cruel truth, "...and then left."

"What? Two hours ago? Wasn't that when I first arrived?" Fusu suddenly felt a pain in his knees. Damn it, he had been kneeling for two hours, and in an empty room? Feeling sorry for himself, he said, "Why didn't you say so sooner? Were you deliberately trying to make me look foolish?"

Fusu glared at Zhao Gao with hatred. If Ying Zheng hadn't been so dependent on Zhao Gao, he would have slapped Zhao Gao to death long ago.

You were having a good time watching me make a fool of myself from inside the house, weren't you?

"Your Highness, how dare I?" Zhao Gao knelt on the ground in a hurry, kowtowing several times to Fusu, and said with a trembling body, "I was just following orders."

"On orders? On whose orders?" Fusu pressed.

Zhao Gao raised his head, looking at Fusu timidly with a meaningful and... meaningful gaze.

"You don't mean...?" Fusu's lips twitched, and though reluctant, he still uttered the name, "Father?"

Zhao Gao nodded and said in a low voice, "His Majesty specifically instructed before he left that we must kneel for a full two hours. He will not be happy if we do not kneel for a full two hours."

"Uh……"

Urgent! What to do about a father who's a real handful? I can't hit him or scold him! But he's just so incredibly mischievous!

"Was that word 'slippery' also Father Emperor's original word?" Fusu said with a dark face.

His words startled Zhao Gao, who for a moment failed to understand the meaning behind Fusu's words.

“What I mean is, no wonder we should use terms like ‘arrange the carriage’ or ‘move the carriage’ instead of ‘slip’… that’s so undignified,” Fusu muttered.

Zhao Gao remained silent. After being reminded by Fusu, Zhao Gao suddenly realized that he must have lost his mind just now, otherwise why would he have used the word "slippery"?

He must have lost his mind! Lost his mind! It couldn't possibly be anything like that. He saw His Majesty sneaking around with the brat, looking too much like a thief, so he accidentally blurted out the truth.

Whether it was moving the capital, rearranging the carriage, or simply leaving, Ying Zheng laughed heartily as he departed the palace, completely ignoring the chaotic scene he left behind. He only left behind the words, "I will return when I ascend the throne; you can handle the rest," and then sent no further messages back to Xianyang Palace.

Very well, since Your Majesty has been ruthless in the first place, don't blame us for being unjust in return.

Soon, the officials in charge of etiquette in the court began to select an auspicious day for Fusu's ascension to the throne, while Li Si, along with civil and military officials, held the emperor's robes and began to play the game of three refusals and three requests.

Sigh! Now I finally understand why Father Emperor ran away! This game of three refusals and three requests is such a pointless and pointless exercise, yet they managed to play it with such relish. It's truly an insult to the entire Shanglin Garden.

Upon hearing of Fusu's frustration, Ying Zheng, who was in Shanglin Garden watching a live version of "Animal World" with his mischievous son Huhai and a few other children, immediately wrote a letter home: "What's wrong with Shanglin Garden? Why are you criticizing them?"

Haha! Shanglin Garden's biggest mistake was taking in a lazybones like you!

Fusu gritted his teeth in hatred. Although his father had become obsessed with feudal superstition, his work efficiency had plummeted to new lows—which was why the court didn't collapse even though Ying Zheng had simply left—wasn't it too much for him to play around every day, and even write letters home to mock his hardworking son?

Fusu gritted his teeth and, filled with resentment, wrote a letter to Ying Zheng.

After reading Fusu's letter, Ying Zheng's expression became particularly bright and melancholic, making Hu Hai, who was sitting next to him, feel his heart flutter.

What's wrong with Dad? Has he suddenly changed his mind about passing the throne to Brother Fusu? If not Brother Fusu, then who will he pass it to? Perhaps he'll pass it to the adorable little pig?

Oh dear! If Father Emperor were to pass the throne to Little Pig, that would be... terrible! Although Little Pig really wants to be the Second Emperor of Qin and wash away the shame of being a tyrant in his previous life, however... Brother Fusu is so ruthless. If I were to compete with him for the throne, he would definitely stuff me back into Mother's womb.

So, Father, I can only appreciate your kindness in my heart.

Throughout his life, Hu Hai had seen very clearly that his elder brother was no longer gentle and refined; he was ruthless and cruel... Well, given Hu Hai's level of education, he couldn't find many more fitting words to describe his brother Fusu's behavior. In short, it was terrifying, terrifying.

How terrifying was it? Terrifyingly so that although Hu Hai knew many of his brothers coveted the throne, none of them had the guts to actually do it.

It's as if Brother Fusu can read minds. Whenever his older brothers have any bad thoughts, he'll drag them over and beat them until they turn back into the obedient and adorable younger brothers. Only then will Brother Fusu let them go.

Ahem! Otherwise, everyone would think that I, who hate that guy so much, still call him "Brother Fusu," which is just bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Speaking of which, people are just perverse. In his past life, Brother Fusu was gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest, but no one paid attention to him. Even his father didn't like him much and was unwilling to make Brother Fusu the crown prince. In this life, not only have everyone developed their sycophantic tendencies, but even his father no longer covets the throne.

Truly, evil people are the most terrifying people in the world.

"Little Pig, do you think your elder brother can be a good emperor?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked, breaking out of his reverie.

"Uh..." I said "No!" My brother would definitely beat me to death! So I decided to keep quiet!

Hu Hai remained silent. His father was really too much. He just loved to stab people in the back. He hadn't even asked his father, "Why didn't you pass the throne to me?"

Fortunately, Ying Zheng did not really want Hu Hai to answer the question. He just casually remarked, "I think that for the succession of a country, the second generation is the most important. People who rebelled in the previous dynasty like to cause trouble in the second generation. If it can last for three or five generations, most of the remnants of the previous dynasty will die of old age, and the country will naturally stabilize."

“If I die, those former dynasty loyalists will surely rebel. But if I merely abdicate, they will not dare to move, and I can keep an eye on Fusu to prevent him from causing a major upheaval due to his youthful impetuosity.”

"Little pig, do you think what I said makes sense?"

"Heh!" Hu Hai sneered, then looked at Ying Zheng with a particularly helpless expression and corrected him, "It's not '朕' (Zhen, meaning 'I, the emperor'), it's '真人' (Zhenren, meaning 'the real person')."

Ying Zheng blushed, then said angrily, "You brat, how can you be so annoying?"

Half a month later, Fusu ascended the throne as emperor in the Qin State Ancestral Temple in Yongcheng, and was known as "Qin Er Shi" in history. The following year, the reign title was changed to the first year of Er Shi.

Thirty years later, the retired Emperor Ying Zheng passed away at the age of seventy-nine.

To commemorate the unification of the various states by the First Emperor, Fusu, unwilling to allow Ying Zheng's spirit tablet to be placed below that of his ancestors, ordered a separate ancestral temple to be set up for Ying Zheng's descendants to worship.

Ten years later, the second emperor, Fusu, abdicated in favor of the crown prince and went into seclusion at the Lishan Palace.

Several years later, the former second emperor, now the retired emperor Fusu, passed away.

This is absolutely outrageous! You're such a stupid guy, it's one thing to get into the Crown Prince's circle, but to actually get into the Emperor's circle?

I disagree!
