Xiang Liang's emotion was not directed at Fusu, but rather reminded him of the former Chu State.
On the eve of the country's demise, the Chu State was still in turmoil. The King of Chu was unstable and his throne was unstable. There were overt and covert fights in the court. He completely ignored the approaching Qin army and put his family and country in danger.
In this case, no matter how hard Changping-kun tries, it will not help.
His father, Xiang Yan, Lord of Wu'an of Chu State, defeated Li Xin once, but failed to defeat Wang Jian again, and finally... everything collapsed.
Power is indeed the most poisonous poison that destroys the human soul.
………………
It was day and night, in the Yanmen County of the Empire, in the Mengtian camp.
Inside the brightly lit tent, there were only two people sitting, Fusu and Mengtian.
Looking at Fusu, who had a calm face and showed no signs of joy, anger or sorrow, Meng Tian carefully considered his words and said carefully:
"The last general received a rumor from his brother Meng Yi before, saying that the assassin at the Spring Festival had shouted the slogan 'Zhaoxue for Changping Jun' before he died. I don't know..."
Fusu nodded calmly, "Yes, it is indeed the case."
"If it weren't for the old affairs of Lord Changping, my father wouldn't be so angry."
"This..." Fusu looked very calm, but there was always a hint of blaming Ying Zheng in his words, which made Meng Tian dare not answer rashly. After some consideration, he said, "Maybe... Your Majesty, he
There are other considerations involved.”
"The rebellion of Lord Changping against Chen Di was certainly a defeat that His Majesty the Emperor least wanted to mention, but that rebellion was quelled by Your Highness yourself. Otherwise, Li Xin's army would have suffered more than just a defeat in the attack on Chu."
"The person behind the scenes arranged this assassination in order to use the old affairs of Lord Changping to drive a wedge between His Royal Highness and His Majesty."
"But the general feels that your majesty should be able to see through the conspiracy of the people behind the scenes and still be considerate of the young master."
Fusu picked up the tea cup in front of him and looked at the slightly swaying water in the cup. His face showed no fluctuation and remained calm, and he replied in a quiet voice:
"I understand all of this."
"General Meng, if you have any other ideas, please share them with us."
Fusu's reaction made Meng Tian even more unsure.
He always felt that the young master today seemed different from before, but he still had to continue talking about the matter.
"Young master, you should understand that blood is a shackles given by God, and no one can break free."
"If Your Highness views Lord Changping's affairs from His Majesty's point of view, you may understand that Your Majesty may have some reasons why he has no choice but to do so."
"Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has always violated etiquette and has not established a successor or a senior official. I'm afraid... this is also a taboo."
Meng Tian's words were very subtle, and the translation was straightforward. In fact, it meant that Ying Zheng had always been taboo about Lord Changping, and did not want the empire's queen and crown prince to have any relationship with the blood of Lord Changping.
Meng Tian's analysis cannot be said to be unreasonable. Ying Zheng may actually have this consideration in mind.
But...this must not be the whole reason.
For a person like Ying Zheng, it is difficult for all the decisions he makes to be driven by a single reason.
Yingzheng's failure to establish a successor or a successor may be due to Fusu's Chu lineage, the shadow of his own childhood experiences, and his own desire for immortality.
There are even more complex reasons.
Meng Tian's speculation was just a one-sided view, and he said it just to comfort Fu Su.
After hearing this, Fusu couldn't help but smile - not because he felt that he was not abandoned by Ying Zheng, but because he thought Meng Tian looked like this very interesting:
"Haha... General Meng is interested."
Fusu's smile made Meng Tian a little confused, and he could not understand the young master's reaction more and more.
Meng Tian wanted to say something more, but Fusu raised his hand and interrupted him:
"I guess General Meng also wants to tell me that the reason why my father sent me to Shangjun is so that General you and your 200,000 border troops can serve as my guarantee and protect my safety."
"There is obviously a force within the empire that is targeting me, setting up one dead end after another. Even if I escape one disaster, there will always be another one waiting for me. It is better to stay away from the center of the whirlpool and stay in the safest place.
With."
"I thought about all these things on the way here. I think... my father must have similar thoughts."
"But..." Fusu's eyes became so deep and void that Meng Tian couldn't tell what he was thinking at all, "None of this is important anymore."
Just like what happened with Lord Changping, Ying Zheng may really have this consideration, but that is definitely not the whole story.
The emperor of the empire was worried that something might happen to his eldest son under his nose, so he sent him to another place. This emperor was still Ying Zheng - this sounds ridiculous to the extreme!
People who really believe in it are somewhat prejudiced against Ying Zheng.
"It's not important...what does your highness mean?"
"Our father's thoughts are destined to be unpredictable to us." Fusu Yousheng stated.
Along the way, he thought a lot and figured out a lot.
Power, trust, blood, fear...etc., countless factors intertwined in Ying Zheng's heart, and finally evolved into that edict.
It is meaningless to use any kind of idea or any kind of viewpoint to analyze the reasons why Yingzheng sent Fusu to the outside world.
It only makes sense if you start from yourself.
"This is the North, the frontier of the empire..." Fusu continued, "So when I return here again, it won't matter what my father thinks."
"General Meng, what is really worth caring about now is what we think and what we will do!"
Meng Tian's eyelids couldn't help but jump twice when he heard this.
Your Highness, this statement is a bit dangerous!
However... it may not be a bad thing, at least His Highness will not be depressed by the fact that he was released.
As for what will happen next... we'll have to wait and see!
Just like Young Master said, what they do is the key.
"General...I understand." Meng Tian bowed his hands to Fusu and responded solemnly.
Fusu put down the tea cup in his hand, returned the gift with a smile, and then said:
"Now, we have one thing to deal with."
Meng Tian was stunned, "What's the matter?"
"The general needs to find an accompanying military doctor."
"Your Highness is feeling unwell?"
Fusu replied calmly, "I was poisoned."
"Ah!?" Meng Tian was startled and stood up in fright.
Fusu has taken a few sips of tea since just now. If he is poisoned... then the tea is poisonous!
Although Fusu looked rosy and spoke too calmly, not looking like he was poisoned, Meng Tian didn't think Fusu would play tricks on him.
That means... someone poisoned Young Master Fusu in his camp!
Something went wrong with the army under his command!?
