Fu Su stood tall and listened to the attendants talk about Qin Luoheng's recent events.
After listening.
A smile appeared on Fusu's face.
Said softly:
"My tenth brother is really different."
"Even though he is no longer in the palace, he can still do unexpected things."
"As a Shizi, I solved a 'theft and injury case' using a method that even the prison officials didn't know about."
"But it's a pity."
"After all, my father still does not regard you as an ordinary person. If not, he would not have ordered to restrict your knighthood. My father still has expectations for you."
Just as Fusu sighed, another attendant walked up to him.
whispered:
"Sir, Mr. Yangquan is asking for an audience outside the palace."
"Mr. Yangquan?" A strange look appeared in Fusu's eyes, and he quickly said: "Didn't I say before? When Mr. Yangquan comes to my place, there is no need to announce, just invite him in."
"I'll go over now."
Finished.
Fusu walked towards the side hall next to Yichun Palace.
Yangquan Jun is not an ordinary person. He is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Huayang. His real name is Mi Chen. When the Guanzhong clan was in trouble, Fusu was the first to bear the brunt. When he was in a difficult situation, it was Yangquan Jun who stepped forward to save him from the turmoil.
Went through it peacefully.
He has always been grateful to Mr. Yangquan.
The reason why he has his current identity and status is all due to the strong support of Lord Yangquan. Without the support of Lord Yangquan, it would be difficult for him to win over officials from the lineage of the Queen Mother of Huayang, and it would also be difficult for him to form relationships with officials from the original Six Kingdoms.
good.
Fusu naturally did not dare to neglect.
When Fusu arrived at the side hall, Mi Chen was already waiting in the hall.
Mi Chen is old.
He is now nearly 70 years old, but his body and bones are still strong. However, he has not been to the court since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, and now he has no official position in the court.
but.
Mi Chen’s identity is here.
The courtiers in the court still respected him very much.
Moreover, in the early years, it was he and Lu Buwei who persuaded the Queen Mother of Huayang to accept Ying Yiren as her son, so that the successors of Ying Yiren became kings, and the subsequent King of Qin Ying Zheng and Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng.
He has the true ability to support the dragon.
It's really based on this.
Even though Mi Chen has not been in court for a long time, no one in the court dares to despise him, and no one dares not to take him seriously. Even Ying Zheng does not dare to show any slightness when he sees him.
"Chen Mi Chen has met the eldest son." Mi Chen bowed and said.
Fusu quickly helped Mi Chen up.
He smiled bitterly and said:
"Mr. Yangquan, how can I, a younger generation, dare to accept your great gift? Please don't offend me, Mr. Yangquan."
Finished.
Fusu held his hands and performed a junior salute.
Mi Chen shook his head slightly, but he didn't waste any time on the pretentious ceremony and said straight to the point: "I heard some news recently."
Fusu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Eldest Young Master, have you heard this?" Mi Chen noticed something strange about Fusu.
Fusu nodded and said:
"Master Yangquan is talking about my tenth brother?"
"I already knew about it some time ago. I even met him on the street in Xianyang. However, he no longer recognized me, but he is indeed still alive."
"I wonder what Mr. Yangquan means?"
Mi Chen frowned.
Ningshen said:
"I wonder what you think of the Tenth Young Master?"
Fusu smiled casually.
Confidently said:
"Back then, he used the power of the Guanzhong clan to overpower other young masters. At that time, I didn't dare to have any ideas. But things are different now. Now that I have grown up, I want to compete with him head-on. In terms of talent, knowledge, and integrity,
Let’s fight and compare ourselves to see which one of us is stronger and which one is weaker.”
"I don't think I'm weaker than him!"
"I was indeed overwhelmed by him back then, but now, I want to tell my father that his choice back then was wrong. I, Fusu, have never been weaker than my tenth brother."
"If Mr. Yangquan wants me to do some conspiracy, then stop talking."
"I, Fusu, will never agree."
"I am the eldest son of my father, how can I be good at conspiracy and calculation?"
Mi Chen frowned even more tightly.
He cupped his hands and said:
"Young master is really kind-hearted."
"But there is no room for mercy in the fight for the crown prince."
"Young Master indeed has a clear advantage in the current court, and the Guanzhong clan is indeed no longer as prosperous as it used to be. But Young Master should know that the Lingqu Canal is about to be opened, and the Huns from the north often come south to harass the border. Based on your Majesty's thoughts, you will never allow the Huns.
and Baiyue invaded Da Qin."
"It won't take long."
"Your Majesty will definitely give the order to attack the Xiongnu in the north and take Baiyue in the south."
"Once the war starts, the form of the court will definitely change drastically. Warfare has always been the basic plan of the Guanzhong clan. It has never changed for hundreds of years. When the Civil War starts, the situation will definitely change drastically."
"Sir, your advantage in the court will be gone!"
"of course."
"Young Master has made good friends with the Meng clan."
"But during the battle against Chu, Mengwu directly let Lord Changping leave. This led to Li Xin's failure in the attack on Chu and also caused heavy losses to the Guanzhong clan. Although I don't know why Mengwu let Lord Changping Xiong Qi leave.
But Meng Wu’s actions back then undoubtedly angered many Guanzhong clans, and this grudge has not yet been resolved by both parties."
"Otherwise, how could Mengshi fall in love with the young master so easily?"
"I know that Meng Tian has been training soldiers at Lantian Camp after he resigned as internal historian. However, most of the soldiers in Lantian Camp are from Guanzhong. The Young Master is indeed on good terms with Meng Tian, but if the Ten Young Masters come back, Young Master thinks that these soldiers
Will you get close to the young master or the tenth young master?"
"Except for Meng Tian, will the other generals get close to the young master or the tenth young master?"
"Sir, you have no foundation in the military!"
"Your advantages are all in the court. Your base is left by the Queen Mother Huayang, as well as the former officials of the Six Nations whom you have won over in recent years. Their internal affairs are okay, but they have no influence in the military. Otherwise, why do you think Your Majesty
Are you confident that the Meng clan will be close to you?"
"Master!"
"Sometimes you can't be kind to a woman!"
"When I came here, I just found out that this tenth young master recently solved a case. He should have been knighted two or three degrees, but His Majesty suppressed it."
"Do you know what this means?"
"Your Majesty does not want the Tenth Young Master to be exposed to others."
"Once the Tenth Young Master is revealed to the public, it will have a huge impact on the court."
"Especially recently, Wang Wan has been in poor health and has always wanted to retire. Wei Zhuang and other veteran officials also have the intention of retiring. People in the court are already in a state of uncertainty. If the news that the tenth son is still alive comes out, the Guanzhong clan, which has been dormant for a long time, will definitely make a comeback."
"No one can guarantee what will happen to the court after Wang Wan and other veterans retire."
"Especially when the troops are launched."
"Even His Majesty must consider it carefully."
"on the other hand."
"Your Majesty has also considered you!"
"In the past ten years, you have been diligent about your career and have not made any big mistakes. Everyone in the court has unanimously recognized you. If the tenth son appears, the court will once again gain the opportunity to compete for the throne due to the changes in the Guanzhong clan.
Advantage, this will undoubtedly have a huge impact on you."
"Your Majesty still feels sorry for you after all."
"but......"
"Sir, your advantages are too superficial."
"Flashy."
"If you continue to maintain this status quo, sooner or later, your position in His Majesty's heart will be replaced by the Tenth Young Master."
"Sir, it's time for you to make some changes!"

I'll probably update 4,000 words today. I'll sort out the plot in the next few days.
I actually wrote two thousand words earlier, about the plot of meeting Bo Shu after leaving the school, but I was not very satisfied with it and deleted it directly.
