Fusu, who was drowsy on the couch, heard the report from the guard that General Meng Tian had arrived outside the tent. His heart was excited, and he took three steps at a time to welcome him out. Fusu had always been a mentor and friend to this man. General Meng Tian, who has made great military exploits for the empire, has always been admired.
At this time, Fusu saw the anxious look on Meng Tian's face and was very confused. He bowed his hands and said, "Fusu didn't know that the general was coming, so I'm sorry that he didn't come far to welcome him. I just don't know why the general is so anxious? Have the Huns invaded again?" "
"That's not true. It's just that I have a family letter that I would like to ask the eldest son to read." Meng Tian said as he entered the tent, came to the case and spread out a piece of parchment with a clatter.
"Why do you want me to read the general's family letter?" Fusu, who was following behind, glanced at it and raised his head in confusion.
"Master, please read it once. Is there such a family letter in the world?"
Fusu rubbed his eyes, looked over it carefully and shook his head: "I can't see anything."
"Master, please cheer up and listen to what I have to say!" Meng Tian looked stern, obviously a little anxious.
"General, please speak." After all, Fusu always respected Meng Tian, so he bowed again when he heard this.
"Sir, tell me, can Meng Yi be considered a loyal minister?"
"What are you talking about, General? Do I need to say this?"
"Okay! Given Meng Yi's temperament, he was able to suddenly send such a secret letter. Does the young master really not know what its meaning is? According to the veteran's speculation, there are at least two possibilities: First, His Majesty has a new judgment on the court situation; Secondly, Your Majesty still has high hopes for the young master and the old ministers! Otherwise, it is impossible for Your Majesty to send Meng Yi back to Guanzhong alone, and Meng Yi will definitely not inform the young master and the old ministers of the news in a secret letter, let alone remind the young master and the old ministers. Always pay attention. The opinion of the old minister: It is unknown whether your majesty will come to Jiuyuan when he returns to the west. If it is true that your majesty comes to Jiuyuan in person, it will be clear that you will appoint the young master as the heir apparent!"
"Father, come to Jiuyuan? Why would the general make such a decision?" Fusu suddenly showed a hint of surprise.
"Master, if you were last year, how could you not see something strange in this book? Now that you are so depressed, of course you can't see anything unusual." Meng Tian shook the parchment and his tone became serious.
"Before this big hunting tour, I have seen with my own eyes how severe your majesty's illness is. This means that your majesty went on this big hunting tour with an illness. He may fall ill at any time, or even be in danger of an accident. Meng Yi is in charge of this. How can the minister who is also the commander-in-chief of Lang Zhongling be your Majesty's most important central minister when he is out on patrol and return to the country in the middle way? There is only one possibility, that is, he has accepted your Majesty's secret mission! He still prays for the mountains and rivers, but it is just in the name of the outside world. However, Since he has such a name, it means a clear fact: His Majesty must have fallen ill on the way, and the illness was not serious. Otherwise, with His Majesty's perseverance and perseverance, he would definitely not send Meng Yi back to Xianyang to make arrangements. Meng Yi's book said , the overall situation of the country is in order, Li Xin led his troops to the east. This clearly means that Meng Yi has been ordered to settle state affairs, and has been ordered to dispatch Li Xin back to Guanzhong! Your Majesty's handling of this must be because Your Majesty is worried that the foundation of Guanzhong is unstable! Your Majesty has noticed We have reached a certain critical situation that may strike at any time! Sir, what is this critical situation? The old minister has thought repeatedly that there will be no him. There is only one thing: His Majesty feels that his illness is difficult to survive... Otherwise, with His majesty's mighty and clear mind, How often have you thought about planning for the aftermath? Your Majesty’s move means that things may change at any time. Young Master, we can’t let time be in chaos any longer!”
"Father is seriously ill..." Fusu's eye circles suddenly turned red.
"As a prince, family and state affairs are of one nature."
"No. My father is a brave man. He will be fine. He will be fine." Fusu muttered in confusion.
"Sir, national affairs take priority at the moment!" Meng Tian suddenly became stern.
"What do you think, General?" Fusu seemed to have come to his senses.
"It is my wish that the young master should go to the emperor's hunting camp in person and serve His Majesty at all times."
"Absolutely not! When I left Xianyang, my father made it clear that I would not be allowed to return to Xianyang without obeying the imperial edict. This was my father's stern words. How could Fusu be a minister who wanted to mess with his life? Besides, my father also had his young brother Hu Hai by his side.
, it cannot be said that there is no one to serve me. If I rushed to the emperor's camp suddenly, wouldn't it just make my father angry and make my father more angry with me again?" Fusu shook his head in panic and said stubbornly.
"Young Master is so arrogant!" Meng Tian became angry with Fusu for the first time. He slapped the desk and said, "At this time, Young Master does not pay attention to the country's overall plan. He is only thinking about trivial matters. How can he have the spirit of trusting people and striving for success!
Besides, although your Majesty's temperament is strong and his laws are strict, your Majesty is still a human being after all. How can you not have human relations and kinship? Now your Majesty is running around and is ill in the way. If the young master can rush to the emperor's camp with a filial heart that is willing to risk punishment, your Majesty will
How can you really care about your words that day? I have known His Majesty as a young man, and I know very well that Your Majesty is strict on the outside and lenient on the inside. Otherwise, with the severity of Your Majesty's laws, how can you punish the young master and yet entrust him with the important task of supervising the army? Young Master, Your Majesty will be thirty.
The fundamental reason why tens of thousands of troops are handed over to you is that Your Majesty still believes that the Young Master is a righteous man. If the Young Master is rigid and arrogant, wouldn’t it be a big letdown of Your Majesty’s decades of hard work in training the Young Master..."
"General, there's no need to say it. Let me think about it again, think about it again." Fusu finally found it difficult to agree with Meng Tian's statement.
"Sir, at this critical juncture, you are still so hesitant, how can you shoulder the important responsibilities of the empire! Don't you know you should stop and suffer the chaos instead?" Meng Tian advised again sadly.
After Fusu listened to Meng Tian's words, he was silent for a long time. In his heart, he had to admit that Meng Tian's analysis was comprehensive and very clear. But Fusu actually had an inexplicable deep feeling about going to meet the emperor.
Fear. The last time Fusu stubbornly opposed the burning of books and humiliation of Confucian scholars in Xianyang, he witnessed his father being so angry that he vomited blood continuously. If the alchemist Xu Fu hadn't urgently offered elixirs for treatment, it would be hard for him to imagine what the consequences would have been. Although the First Emperor later
Instead of severely punishing Fusu, he drove Fusu out of Xianyang and took up the post of military supervisor in Jiuyuan. However, Fusu believed that his father's illness was aggravated by his own willfulness. This idea kept Fusu in deep trouble.
He could not extricate himself from the deep guilt, and therefore he did not dare to disobey the First Emperor's wishes even a little bit again.
"General, the country has national laws. It is not our duty to speculate on the will of our superiors. Fusu will never forget the Lord's favor. It's just that the emperor is camping, but Fusu can't go..." For a long time,
Fusu said sadly.
"You, you... the young master doesn't accept loyal advice. It will be too late for you to regret it when disaster strikes Xiao Qiang!" Suddenly, old Meng Tian burst into tears.
"The inheritance of imperial power is determined by His Majesty the Emperor. Even if Fusu does not become the second emperor, what will happen? The general must be worrying too much." Fusu looked confused again.
When Meng Tian saw what Fusu said, he felt a "boom" in his heart. The belief that had been supporting him suddenly collapsed. He never thought that Fusu, who was high-spirited, intelligent, and sharp, would suddenly disappear completely in just two years.
Fusu now is nothing more than a political retard.
Meng Tian was completely speechless. He glanced at Fusu with tears in his eyes, walked out of Fusu's camp in a wan mood, and walked back staggeringly.
