Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, has gone through hundreds of years and has been built by more than a dozen generations of Qin emperors. Now it is the political and economic center of the Qin Dynasty. The entire Xianyang City has a diameter of more than 20 miles from north to south. It is divided into the outer city and the inner city. The inner city is naturally where the imperial palace is located.

Of course, there is also the Afang Palace next to the Wei River, which is even more luxurious.

At this time, there is a lake in the palace. There is a golden canopy by the lake. Under the canopy, a middle-aged man in a black robe is fishing with a fishing rod. Behind him, there is a young man in a white robe, kneeling beside him. And behind him are many eunuchs, palace maids and guards.

"There is Fusu in the mountains, and there are lotus flowers in the marshes. I don't see Zidu, but I see Kuangqie. There are Qiaosong in the mountains, and there are Youlong in the marshes. I don't see Zichong, but I see Cuntong." The middle-aged man looked at the lake and suddenly recited a poem.

"This is your mother's favorite poem, and it is also the origin of your name. It expresses the expectations of me and your mother for you." The man continued.

"I know." The young man nodded and said.

The man fishing was Qin Shi Huangdi, the first emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, and the young man behind him was Fusu, the eldest son of Qin.

"How long have you not visited your mother?" Ying Zheng asked.

"My son, I haven't been there for more than a month, my son..." Fusu explained nervously.

"More than a month, you will leave Xianyang soon, so it will be another half a year, go see your mother today." Ying Zheng said.

"Yes, I will obey your order." Fusu said.

"This time, I will let Zhao Gao accompany you, and we must investigate whether Confucianism, Mohism and anti-Qin people are really related." Ying Zheng said.

"Father, I dare to ask, if there is a real connection, how should we deal with it?" Fusu asked.

"Confucianism, although it has already respected Qin on the surface, these literati and Confucian scholars are still detached from the world. Hum, if there is a real connection, then the only way out for them is to completely submit to the court, otherwise, I don't mind eliminating Confucianism." Ying Zheng's momentum suddenly became fierce.

"I obey your order." Fusu's heart trembled, and he quickly leaned forward to say.

Then, Ying Zheng waved his hand, and Fusu bowed again and slowly retreated.

Then Ying Zheng shouted to the side.

"Zhao Gao."

"Swish..."

A figure dressed in a black and red robe instantly appeared behind Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty."

The man was Zhao Gao, the leader of Luowang, the favorite of Qin Shihuang, and the commander of the Central Chariot House.

"Don't forget the task I gave you when you go out this time, to find the box." Ying Zheng said.

"Yes, Zhao Gao will do his best." Zhao Gao quickly knelt down and said.

"Well, Fusu is young, and he may not be a match for those old foxes in Confucianism. You and Li Si should assist him more. In special circumstances, I will accept your power to make decisions on the spot." Ying Zheng said.

Zhao Gao heard this, his face showed a hint of joy, and he quickly said.

"I obey your order."

The next day, Fusu's convoy left Xianyang. In addition to Zhao Gao's Luowang, there were also masters of the Yin-Yang School, led by a man and a woman, who were Xiao Ling and Xiao Yi.

Fusu, Zhao Gao, and Li Si sat in three carriages respectively.

The curtain of the carriage in the front was opened, revealing a man with a deep temperament. This man was Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty.

"Your name is Xiao Ling?" Li Si asked the young man on the horse.

Xiao Ling saw this and said hurriedly.

"Reply to the prime minister, I am Xiao Ling."

"I heard that this time the East Emperor sent you to accompany him to test whether you can be competent for the role of Shao Siming, right?" Li Si said.

"Xiao Ling doesn't know. Xiao Ling just wants to protect the safety of the young master and several adults." Xiao Ling said with his head down.

"Really? Very good young man." Li Si smiled and then lowered the curtain.

Xiao Ling then turned to look at the girl behind him. The girl was wearing a veil and his appearance could not be seen clearly. When the two of them reported to the palace, Xiao Ling had taken the initiative to report his name and then observed the girl's reaction, but to his disappointment, the girl's eyes were calm, as if she had just heard of him for the first time.

Seeing Xiao Ling looking at him, Xiao Yi had a puzzled expression. Xiao Ling smiled awkwardly and turned back.

But he didn't see that the moment he turned back, Xiao Yi's eyes behind him showed a hint of cunning.

At the moment when Fusu's convoy walked out of Xianyang, many pigeons flew out from many secret corners in Xianyang City.

At the same time, as Fusu stood up, various forces began to converge on Sanghai, and for a time Sanghai became the focus of Daqin.

In the Taoist Tianzong residence, in a bamboo forest, Bei Mingzi, with a head full of white hair, was playing the guzheng. His old fingers gently plucked the strings, and stopped from time to time to adjust the tone. Opposite him was a beautiful girl with a head full of silver hair, about 18 years old, kneeling.

"So, you have decided to go to the appointment?" Bei Mingzi said.

"Well, it's time for our Tianzong to enter the secular world. It just so happens that Fusu invited me this time, and Xiaomeng also feels that she should go to the secular world and hone her Taoist heart." The woman said lightly.

The woman is the current head of the Taoist Tianzong, the 18-year-old Xiaomeng, who has the title of the first person in the Tianzong.

"Well... you are already the head, what you want to do and what you should do, you decide." Bei Mingzi said, closed his eyes again, and continued to play the unknown ancient music.

Xiaomeng nodded when she heard it, and as a breeze blew, the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest scattered and fell, and Xiaomeng's figure disappeared with the flying bamboo leaves.

There is an inn in Sanghai City.

This is called Youjian Inn, which is the most representative place in Sanghai. The owner of the inn is called Pao Ding, a world-famous chef who can cook everything from snacks to banquets, and his knife skills are first-class.

The inn has four floors. The first floor is for ordinary diners, the second floor is for prestigious Jianghu wanderers, and the third floor is for Confucian scholars. As for the top floor, no one has ever gone up except for a few great Confucian scholars in Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Today, on the third floor, in a private room by the window, there are several more guests.

"Miss Yueshen, you are really amazing. Just now, I just waved my hand and the boy let us come up." Lu Xiaofeng complimented.

"It's just a trick, but you're wrong. The waiter is not a man, just a woman dressed as a man." Yueshen said.

Not long ago, Su Yu brought Yueshen, Jiang Ni, and Lu Xiaofeng to Sanghai City together. As a Qin Shi fan, Su Yu naturally wanted to try Pao Ding's skills as soon as possible, so he came to Youjian Inn.

Su Yu still held the fan. In his opinion, scholars looked like this. Little did he know that scholars in Daqin actually carried swords more often when they went out. Yue Shen knew this, but she didn't point it out, so as not to spoil Su Yu's fun.

"Why don't people on the third floor use a fan? Isn't Sanghai the Confucian residence?" Lu Xiaofeng asked in confusion.

At this moment, the waiter came in with tea.

"What's the name of this young man?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"My name is Shi Lan." The waiter's voice was a little delicate.

"Oh? Brother Shi, I wonder if the third floor has always been so deserted?" Su Yu asked at this time.

"My lord, have you just returned from studying abroad?" Shi Lan asked with a questioning look on her face.

"Haha, not bad." Su Yu laughed quickly. It seems that the waiter mistook them for scholars who had returned from studying abroad.

"No wonder, there are always a lot of people here. Recently, because Master Fusu is about to visit Xiaoshengxian Manor, students are not allowed to leave the manor at will. Master, you'd better go back and report to the teacher after dinner." The waiter said.

"Oh? That's why, thank you, brother." Su Yu said.

After the waiter left, the face of the Moon Goddess changed a little.

"I didn't expect that Fusu would come here." The Moon Goddess said.

"Fusu? The eldest son of Ying Zheng, a good talent, but unfortunately a little pedantic." Su Yu nodded.

"Oh? Emperor, you seem to know Fusu very well." The Moon Goddess asked curiously.

Su Yu shook his head and stopped talking.

"Emperor..." Lu Xiaofeng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Su Yu.

"Forgot again?" Su Yu said unhappily.

"Uh... yes, Master. Lu Xiaofeng quickly changed his words.

"Well, that's right, you will call me Master from now on." Su Yu said.

"Master? What's your name? "The Moon Goddess asked with a curious look, she didn't know Su Yu's real name yet.

"Call me Su Zi." Su Yu said, shaking her fan.

"Puff..." Jiang Ni beside her couldn't help laughing.

The Moon Goddess rolled her eyes at Su Yu, she was not stupid, she knew that Su Yu couldn't be called Su Zi.

"Su Zi, yes, I'm Su Zi, those great Confucian saints always call me Zi or something." Su Yu said.

"Okay, you are Su Zi." The Moon Goddess had no choice but to agree.

"Hahaha..." Su Yu also laughed happily.
