Chapter 504: The General and the Generals(1/2)
Wang Laoshi was promoted to the leader of a business think tank. He had a rank and a salary, but he no longer had to intrigue in the court.
Mr. Wang was satisfied and couldn't help laughing.
At the same time, many court officials began to consider whether to recommend Wang Laoshi to the court as an official.
However, after thinking about it, they temporarily gave up this idea.
First of all, it is not known whether Wang Laoshi has the ability to govern. If he recommends him to the court and he ends up making a mess, isn’t that bad?
Secondly, no matter how much he recommends Wang Laoshi, Wang Laoshi will not join his own disciple. Most of him is still from Huai Guzi.
Therefore, if you discuss this matter later, let’s examine others first.
After Ying Zheng rewarded Jufu and Wang Laoshi, he said lightly: "You all retreat. Go back and prepare to go back to Xianyang tomorrow."
Everyone responded and retreated one after another.
When the officials walked to the door, Ying Zheng spoke again.
He said lightly: "Fusu stays, I have something to say to you."
Fusu immediately stopped.
Chunyu Yue looked at Fusu with some concern, but His Majesty did not let him stay, so he had no choice but to go out nervously.
All officials were still discussing the matter of the think tank, and they whispered and left one after another. Chunyu Yue stayed, waiting for news from Mr. Fusu.
It didn't take long, and the door opened again.
Fusu did not come out, but the little eunuch who came out served Ying Zheng.
Chunyu Yue felt more and more uneasy: All the eunuchs were sent out? What is Your Majesty going to say?
In the room, Fusu also looked at Ying Zheng nervously.
Now, there are only the two of them left in this room.
What a confidential matter this is to be said?
Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu and said lightly: "This time, you three brothers govern the country. I also looked at it, and probably had a scheming in my heart."
Fusu bowed, looking at listening with a stern look.
Ying Zheng said to Fusu: "You and Meng Tian seem to have a good relationship?"
Fusu responded: "Yes."
When saying this, Fusu was a little puzzled: Are you talking about the assessment? Why did you jump to Meng Tian again?
Ying Zheng said, "I am quite satisfied with Meng Tian. This person is a good general. He is decisive in killing and has strict military discipline."
Fusu didn't know how to respond well, so he could only say: "Yes."
Ying Zheng said again: "I originally planned to attack the Huns in the north. However... before he could make a move, Huai Guzi and Li Xin destroyed the Huns."
"Now, Meng Tian is pursuing the countries in the Western Regions. There are some oasis. There are some small countries in the deserts of the Western Regions."
"In the past, these small countries were once ruled by the Huns. Now that the Huns are destroyed, they have surrendered to our Great Qin."
"However, what I want is not to surrender, but to set up counties and counties to directly govern. After all, they are vassal states of the Huns, so it is hard to guarantee that there will be no unfair intentions."
"Now that our Qin Dynasty is prosperous, the administration is clear and the national strength is booming, and these small countries dare not do anything. But one day, if something happens to the Central Plains, these small countries will immediately have unreasonable thoughts."
"I have to be careful about this kind of thing. Therefore, I plan to imitate the Northern Frontier and allow Meng Tian to manage the Western Regions. All ethnic groups in the Western Regions can refer to the Huns. As long as they can return to their hearts, I will not blame them and wait for them equally."
"But if they want to become a country in the country, I will not be able to agree. If they are determined to resist stubbornly, I will not hesitate to use some thunder means."
Fusu nodded and responded.
He understood Ying Zheng's words, but he didn't understand why he said this.
What are you talking about Meng Tian doing? What are you talking about managing the Western Regions?
Soon, Fusu knew why.
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and said lightly: "You go and help Meng Tian and try it out."
Fusu's body shook.
He looked at Ying Zheng with some disbelief: "Father, my son... don't you have to go back to Xianyang?"
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "No need to go back to Xianyang. Pack up your things and bring your servants with you. Let's leave today, don't delay."
Fusu's face was ashes, and he slowly bent down and bowed to Ying Zheng.
Then he walked out stiffly.
My father, I want to take Fu Yao and Hu Hai away, but let myself go to Meng Tian’s side.
Is this meaning not clear enough?
I am afraid I will not have a share in the position of crown prince.
In fact, Fusu is not nostalgic for the position of prince. He just wants to be kind to the people of the world and seek welfare for the people.
Now that I can’t be the crown prince, I will not be the emperor in the future. I will not be able to govern the world according to the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius.
In this way, will the people continue to suffer?
Fusu felt that he had become a sinner for the ages.
When he walked out of the door, he immediately saw Chunyu Yue waiting outside.
Chunyu Yue grabbed Fusu, pulled him into a corner, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with Your Majesty?"
Fusu said, "Father, Father wants me to pack up."
Then, his feet seemed to step on cotton, and he walked softly towards his residence.
Chunyu Yue was so anxious that he was about to suffer a stroke. He followed Fusu and kept asking: "What does Your Majesty mean? What do you want to pack things? Do you still need to keep them alone?"
Fusu turned a deaf ear to him.
He actually didn't hear it, and he didn't even realize that his master was right next to him.
He pushed open the door, entered his room, and began to pack up his things.
Stacks of books, pens, ink, paper, ink, cups, plates, quilts and mattresses...
Chunyu Yue was more and more worried when he watched from the side. Why did the young master seem to have lost his soul? What did he do to wipe the table and sweep the floor here? Isn’t this what the servant should do?
Finally, Chunyu Yue couldn't help it anymore, and he shouted hard in Fusu's ear: "Young Master."
This sudden sound made Fusu tremble violently.
This sound also brought him back to his senses.
Chunyu Yue stamped his feet and asked Chunyu Yue: "What's wrong with Your Majesty?"
Fusu looked at his master and suddenly burst into tears.
He beat his chest and stamped his feet, and said in a irritable manner: "How sad is the people of the world?"
Chunyu Yue asked frightenedly: "What's going on? What's wrong with the people of the world?"
Fusu wiped his tears and sat blankly on the couch: "Father, I want me to go to General Meng Tian's army. I will leave tonight."
This news was like a bolt from the blue. Chunyu Yue was also stunned.
Fusu sighed: "It seems that I have lost this test. My father was disappointed. I can't compete for the position of the prince."
"If I can't be the prince, I can't be the emperor. If I can't be the emperor, how can I promote Confucianism? The way of benevolence and righteousness cannot be implemented, and the people will have to suffer."
"So, my grief comes from it and cannot be stopped. For a moment, I just want to cry loudly, and I can't suppress myself."
Chunyu Yue said with emotion: "Young Master Fusu is truly a benevolent and righteous king."
Fusu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have benevolence and righteousness but cannot be used. What is the difference between this and not having benevolence and righteousness?"
Chunyu Yue smiled slightly and said to Fusu, "Young Master, have you given up?"
Fusu raised his head and said, "Master, the defeat is decided, don't you give up?"
Chunyu Yue said, "No. In my opinion, not only did he not lose, but he had a great chance of winning. Before Your Majesty summoned you, he was not sure about his teacher, but now he is very sure."
Fusu asked curiously: "I have been exiled, so I still have a great chance of winning?"
Chunyu Yue said: "This is not exile, but training."
"Think about it, why did Your Majesty ask you to go to Meng Tian? It's just that this trip to Longxi, Your Majesty found that the young master was too kind, so he wanted to let you experience it in the army."
"See the fight and the bloody, the hard-working killing is decisive, cruel and ruthless."
Fusu stood up and wanted to speak.
Chunyu Yue stopped him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's philosophy of governing the country is different from you and me. I will discuss this later. Let me ask you, if Your Majesty has given up on making you the crown prince, why should you give it to you for tempering?"
Fusu was slightly stunned.
Chunyu Yue patted Fusu on the shoulder: "Although I have not customized the Qin Dynasty, since ancient times, most of them have chosen the eldest son."
"Your Majesty's thoughts are always on you. Young Master, you must not give up on yourself, you must seize this opportunity."
"If I expected it is good, in a year or two, Your Majesty will definitely summon you back to Xianyang. If you do well, the position of the prince will definitely be yours. If you do not do well..."
