In the spring of March of the second year of the Regency, Fusu once again stood on the shore of Xi'anping (Dandong).
Ma Zi Water is still so clear and green, and when spring comes, groups of wild ducks swim on it.
No wonder Heifu said that it will be called "Yalu River" in the future.
This was the third time Fusu came to Xi'anping. The first time was on an expedition to Haidong under the orders of his father. Yang Duanhe died of illness in the old forests of Qianshan Mountain in Liaodong. He, a novice leader, encountered a mutiny here.
It was really a mess. Fortunately, Hei Fu helped, otherwise it would have been even more ugly.
The second time, after witnessing the chaos in the Central Plains, he went through hardships and returned alone. With the name of Fusu, he led the Haidong garrison and made great achievements in the northeastern border of the empire!
Recalling the past, Fusu laughed dumbly: "We are both Fusu, but the gap between the front and back is so big, no wonder everyone believed them when they said they were two people..."
Although Heifu's conversation with Fusu at the foot of Wuzhou Mountain that day focused on the grievances and grievances between the Qin, Chu, Han and Xiongnu in the past few decades, it was enough to make Fusu return to Liaodong from Yan in the next few months.
, repeated over and over countless times.
Because everything Heif said was so ridiculous.
He actually committed suicide after receiving a forged edict?
Fusu touched his neck.
"Is it because I'm born to trust people and things easily?"
Or maybe, deep down, he is the kind of person who is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the world's safety, and he has never changed?
Also, the Qin Dynasty, which the First Emperor of Qin hoped to be passed on to all generations, actually died in the second generation? Moreover, it was destroyed by Xiang Yu of Chu State, and Guanzhong was destroyed in one day.
If my father knew this, I don't know what he would think.
And the final winner of this era is not Xiang Yu, but Fusu's subordinate, the arrogant and bearded old Liu Ji, who is full of dirty jokes. He is the final successor of Qin Shi Huangdi...
Fusu only thought it was funny. This was really a great irony.
But the strange thing is that this person was surrounded by Maodun in Baideng and signed a humiliating peace treaty...
As for Heifu? Originally he was just a little Qin pawn with no name, who died in the first destruction of Chu!
The story is bizarre, with twists and turns that make people laugh and laugh, making it hard to believe.
This may be a story that Heifu made up to deceive Fusu.
"But I still choose to believe..."
No matter what, Fusu accepted such a "truth" and in exchange, announced his own "lie".
"Your Majesty, the pontoon bridge across the river is ready."
Gao Cheng came over to report that this was the first time he had called me wrong. Fusu corrected him: "I have gone to the king's title, and I am no longer a king."
"Then, young master..."
"I have never been a prince, just a substitute." No matter how tempted his cronies were, Fusu insisted on this.
"What should I call it?"
"Let's just call him general, just like in the beginning."
"No wonder when he came to Haidong to summon us two years ago, he asked us to call him general instead of son..." Gao Cheng muttered. He already believed 80% of Fusu's story.
Gao Cheng was also one of the few subordinates who still decided to follow Fusu after he announced that he was "Fusu's substitute. After the prince's death, he will carry out his legacy and go to Haidong."
The rest of the people either left angrily or were disheartened. Most chose to stay in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning and disband their armor and return to their fields.
The soldiers returned to their land. Heifu promised Liang Liao and You Beiping to rent free for three years in order to restore people's livelihood. This made the natives cheer. The already tired Haidong garrison also silently threw away their weapons and took away their belongings.
The retirement money and silk and no need to fight are good news for everyone.
I believe that in the long-awaited stable life, they will soon forget themselves and the short-lived "fake Fusu".
"At most, when I have free time, I can say a few words of regret to my children and grandchildren."
Fusu secretly thought in his heart: "From now on, the world will only remember an eldest son who was ambitious, weak and incompetent, abandoned his wife, and finally died inexplicably..."
Gao Cheng, on the other hand, never gave up on him and said stubbornly: "Even if the general is not Fusu and deceived us, what happened in the past two years cannot be faked!"
"During the chaos in the Central Plains, when we and the Haidong garrison were hesitant, it was the general who showed up and gave us a backbone to prevent us from going into exile and becoming bandits. Is this false?"
"When Liaodong was invaded by King Donghu, it was the general who led us to fight head on and saved Liaodong. Is this false?"
"It is the general who has held up the sky in Liaodong and protected the peace of hundreds of thousands of people in the past two years! Is this also a lie!?"
Gao Cheng slammed his fist on his left chest: "Since everything is true and not false, even if you are not Master Fusu, we are willing to follow you!"
There were more than 3,000 people who had the same idea as Gao Cheng, and they followed him all the way to Xi'anping...
But this is far from the end.
Everyone will cross the Mazi River and pass through Jizi North Korea again. Before summer, they will arrive at the "Hancheng" hundreds of miles away, where large armies once gathered, but today it has been abandoned.
There is the fiefdom of Gongsun Jun, the "Haidong Marquis".
This black man has countless conspiracies in his heart, and everything has been planned for a long time. When he announced "Fusu is dead" more than a year ago, he made arrangements and added a "Haidong Marquis" for him.
The title was inherited by Gongsun Jun.
Gongsun Jun will become the first border prince of the New Qin Dynasty, and he will be granted a real seal! He will be divided into Toutian Beidun, Zhu, Zong, Divination, History, Preparation of Things, Official Policies, Litigation, and Yi weapons, all in Hancheng, and manage horses.
The people of Han, Chenhan, and Bianhan were entrusted with the policy of enfeoffment, and they were granted a seal in Haidong.
South of Korea, north of the sea, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, are all the domain of the Marquis of Haidong!
The seal was not generous, but it was far away, separated by a strip of water from the Central Plains, yet far enough away from it, and on the other side was Jiaodong, which had a grudge against Fusu.
Fusu, on the other hand, had to bear a false name and serve as the first prime minister of the Haidong Kingdom...
Gongsun Jun will go to Haidong in the autumn season to reunite with Fusu and his son.
Fusu was looking forward to that day, hoping to see Xuangun Chixi, the little prince with a hook and a carved tin, as soon as possible.
But for a while, he couldn't figure out how to face the son who had been abandoned by him...
Should he recognize him as his father? Apologize to him.
Or should we continue that lie and, as the Prime Minister, help him wholeheartedly and silently protect him as he grows up?
How can we prevent the tragedy of father and son from believing in each other from happening again?
Shaking his head, Fusu decided not to think about it for now. What he was more urgent about now was the moment to meet Liu Ji...
If given the chance, Fusu would definitely take a good look at this person to see how virtuous and capable he is, how capable he is of winning the world!
It's a pity that Lao Liu, who is the person, can run faster than a rabbit.
Liu Ji, who was originally stationed in Liaodong, was horrified when he heard that Fusu and Heifu had reconciled. He took his wife, a member of the party, and more than a thousand people who were afraid of Heifu and ran away before Fusu arrived...
By the end of February, when Fusu arrived at the border between Qin and North Korea, he was sweating. Ji Zhun, the Marquis of North Korea, was waiting here. Faced with Fu Su's request for food from North Korea, Ji Zhun's face was filled with bitterness.
"Didn't it happen just once last month?"
It turned out that when Liu Ji was escaping south in front of Fusu, he passed through North Korea and lied that he was a vanguard and follower of the army. He wanted to eat and drink. He even took away 300 Korean maids to warm his feet and recruited them.
Three thousand Korean civilians accompanied him, and they also plundered many ships on the east coast, passed through Korea, and headed towards Benhan, the southernmost part of the peninsula...
Gao Chengyi was filled with indignation: "The general trusts Liu Ji so much, how dare he betray the general, we must catch this man!"
"Liu Ji is just afraid."
Fu Su laughed, and Hei Fu once joked that he would throw Liu Ji to Seoul and let this guy die there...
Maybe Liu Ji had foreseen his future? So he ran away early. Poor old Liu is still kept in the dark and doesn't understand why Hei Fu always makes things difficult for him.
"Let him be."
Fusu thought for a long time and gave up Gao Cheng's suggestion of "pursuing Liu Ji".
"He and I are just wanderers who have left home, so why bother forcing each other."
Walking forward step by step, the east end of Yan Great Wall, Peishui is right in front of you.
"If we go further, we will leave Da Qin." Although North Korea is a vassal state of the Central Plains, it is different from counties and counties after all. Even the people who follow Fusu wholeheartedly hesitate a little before taking the step forward.
After all, this time, they will never come back!
Fusu remembered the last time he and Hei Fu met. The two of them said goodbye at Jieshi Mountain in Youbeiping County and made an agreement...
At that time, Fusu pointed to the east and promised: "In my life, I will die in the east and never return to the west!"
And Heifu pointed to the west and promised: "As long as I am here, Da Qin will be there."
"I will be a Qin official throughout my life, starting well and ending well!"
The look in his eyes was extremely sincere and didn't seem to be fake, but Fusu couldn't tell for sure.
"What will happen to the world after you and I die? What will happen to the world?" Fusu asked unwillingly.
But Heifu looked at him and said: "When Qin Shihuang was alive, he made many arrangements for his funeral."
"But Hu Hai Zhao Gao Li Si, did you listen to him?"
"Did you and I leave according to his arrangement?"
"Has the direction of the world and the separation and separation of people's hearts been as he wished?"
Heifu spread his hands and said: "We can take care of the things before us, but how can we take care of the things behind us and our descendants? For generations to come, eternal prosperity? But as I said to you, how can there be an immortal dynasty in this world?
, just let nature take its course..."
Fusu was silent, just looking at the stone carvings of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. On the cliff, hundreds of seal characters were still simple and powerful, engraved with what Qin Shi Emperor promised but failed to complete:
"The terrain is established, the common people are free of trouble, and the world is prosperous. Men enjoy their fields, and women cultivate their careers. Everything is in order. Benefit from all the properties, and they will come to the fields for a long time, and no one will be uneasy!"
Now, this unfinished responsibility has been given to Heifu by his superiors...
The fate of the empire is also in Heifu's hands.
Heifu was also staring at the seal carvings, raising the wine bottle high, facing the immortal stone, like that tall figure already standing on the seashore:
"I miss the First Emperor."
Fusu's wine bottle met him.
"Me too……"
The two drank a lot, and then suddenly burst into laughter:
Heifu said: "If the First Emperor were here, would he say this to us?"
Fusu smiled: "You must have slapped me in the face, scolded me, driven me far away, and refused to listen. And you, I'm afraid, will be like Han Fei, who was given poisonous wine. Although my father regretted it afterwards
, but you can only talk about it secretly, and on the surface, you have to act cold and ruthless so that no one can see it..."
Heifu couldn't help laughing: "Yes, it will definitely be like this."
But he sighed again:
"The dead can never be recovered. Remember what you should remember. We will not be able to make the same mistakes again in the future."
Heifu bowed to Fusu as a final farewell:
"Go forward, Fusu, and keep moving forward."
"You and I, as successors, it's time to turn the page on the era left by the First Emperor!"
…
"That's right, it's time to turn the page."
Remembering what happened in Jieshi, after crossing Peishui, Fusu turned around and said to everyone:
"We have never left Da Qin!"
"But we are going to Haidong to build a new Qin with our own hands!"
They would cut down the overgrown weeds and vines, reclaim the land, and sow the seeds sent by Jiaodong merchants, plowing real ravines and borrowing real acres.
A new home will rise from the ground, and everything in this new country will be created by Fusu. He can finally make the decision on what should be inherited and what should be abandoned...
What will the new Qin look like?
It will definitely be different from the Qin Dynasty during the time of Emperor Qin Shihuang, and it will also be different from the Qin under Heifu.
Looking at the three thousand faces that had experienced severe cold and wind and frost with him, and were now illuminated by the warm sun. Fusu put his hand on his chest, and the blood in his heart was beating just like when he was young!
"That will be what Young Master Fusu once told me when he was still alive..."
"His ideal Qin!"
…
