Chapter 197: Emperor Qin comes out, the storm stops
In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Qin was reviewing the memorial while estimating how long it would take for Lu Chunqiu's soul to be completely refined by him.
At this time, Da Siming emerged from the sky, bowed to Emperor Qin, and told the story about Fusu and Hu Hai that caused rumors to spread in Chang'an City.
Emperor Qin's face was gloomy: "Have you found out who did it?"
Da Siming maintained a normal tone and said: "It was Master Fusu who ordered the storyteller to arrange the story of Mr. Hu Hai. But it was Hu Hai who first distributed grain in the name of Mr. Fusu."
"Bang", Emperor Qin's memorial fell on the table: "Bastard."
After a long time, Emperor Qin simply calmed down his increasingly irritable mood recently, and ordered outside: "Come here, tell the two bastards Fusu and Hu Hai to come over and see me immediately."
Immediately a young eunuch took the order and left.
…
At the door of Lin's mansion, the door was pushed open, and he was still a little dazed. It wasn't until Fusu had someone break down the door that he realized what he was doing and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come here, someone is making trouble."
The voice was so loud that Fusu, who was in the fourth level of martial arts, felt a dull pain in his ears from the shock.
All of a sudden, everyone in the Lin Mansion was alerted, and Hu Hai drove out with a group of guards.
When he saw it was Fusu, Hu Hai said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this brother Fusu? I thought he was some blind little thief who dared to run wild in front of my house, but it turned out that it was brother Fusu who arrived.
.”
Then his smile faded and his face was stern: "Brother Fusu, do you really think you don't understand any etiquette? You don't know how to send greetings, but you imitate the wild people in the mountains and knock on the door directly?"
Fusu said angrily: "How dare you, I am your brother, how can you talk to your brother like this?"
"Bah," Hu Hai spat fiercely: "Fusu, since you are older than me, I call you brother. Ask yourself, do you look like a brother at all?"
Hu Hai had been feeling angry when he heard that he was being reviled in the past few days. Fusu, as the "culprit", actually appeared in front of him, licking his face and saying that he was his elder brother. He couldn't help but speak out what was on his mind.
.
Fusu looked ugly and touched the hilt of the sword with his right hand.
However, he was grabbed by the palace guard next to him and advised: "Master Fusu, calm down."
Fusu took a breath, calmed himself down, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I came here today to tell you to tell your subordinates to stop sending things in my name, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Hu Hai said without any sign of weakness: "Then let your subordinates help me clean up those stigmas first."
Fusu said word by word: "So, you refuse?"
What answered him was a cold snort from Hu Hai with his nostrils turned upward.
"Zheng~", the palace guard did not pay attention for a moment and did not stop him. Fusu drew out his long sword and pointed it directly at Hu Hai: "You are forcing me to do something to you."
Not to be outdone, Hu Hai pulled out his dagger and said, "Come on, who is afraid of whom?"
The guards on both sides stepped forward one after another, drew their weapons and pointed them at each other to protect their young master. The atmosphere was extremely tense for a time.
"Stop", a shout came at this moment, followed by the sound of horse hooves, and a young eunuch rushed over: "You two young masters, please don't do anything. Your Majesty has decreed that the two young masters will come to the palace immediately to see you."
Under Lin Ze's gesture, Hu Hai was the first to put the dagger into its sheath and said to the young eunuch: "Hu Hai obeys the order."
"Humph" Fusu snorted coldly, put away the long sword, and nodded slightly to indicate that he had received the order.
Hu Hai took the lead and walked forward. When he saw Lin Ze standing there without moving, he couldn't help but said: "Lin Ze, let's go. Father has summoned us."
Lin Ze said with a serious face: "Reporting to your Majesty, Your Majesty has only summoned you and Mr. Fusu. But he has not summoned me, so I will not go."
Hu Hai was stunned and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. As my personal guard, it's okay to have an audience with you."
Lin Ze said firmly: "The rules cannot be broken. You just need to remember to deal with them carefully."
Although Hu Hai was full of doubts, he didn't think too much and left with Huang Banban and a group of palace guards.
Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief. Only a fool would follow you to see Emperor Qin. Both sons almost went to war. How could Emperor Qin not know about it?
He must be very angry now, so he summoned Hu Hai and Fu Su, and maybe even punished them.
However, Hu Hai Fusu was the biological son of Emperor Qin after all, so he would take some care of the relationship between father and son and would not punish him too harshly. Lin Ze and the other guards who were involved in this matter were not so lucky.
The Emperor of Qin was so angry that he might be beaten to death or maimed, so Lin Ze was determined not to go, lest he would be harmed by Chi Yu and suffer a punishment in vain.
It is better to spend more time to practice martial arts.
…
In Yangxin Hall, after Hu Hai helped Su salute Emperor Qin, Emperor Qin snorted coldly and shouted: "Shu Zi, kneel down for me."
There was a hint of the aura of a powerful person in the Soul Realm in his words. Shocked, Hu Hai and Fusu couldn't help but tremble and knelt there honestly.
Emperor Qin's cold voice echoed in the hall: "Do you know you are wrong?"
The two brothers glanced at each other secretly, both remaining silent.
Emperor Qin snorted coldly, pointed at Fusu and said, "Fusu, you are the elder brother. Tell me first. Why did you frame your younger brother?"
Fusu raised his head and looked at his father with a complicated expression, and then said softly: "Father has misunderstood. My son did this for Hu Hai's good."
Hu Hai was stunned when he heard this. I have never seen such a shameless person. I am afraid he can even compare to Lin Ze.
I heard Fusu say to himself: "Only if his reputation is bad and his strength is weak, he will not have some inappropriate thoughts. This will be a better result for him."
"Just like my son in the north, the tribes of barbarians without strength would never think of going south to rob the Qin Dynasty. Instead, they would live happily in the bitter cold land in the north. But the tribes with strength would be troubled by provoking
He conquered our country, the Qin Dynasty, and was easily wiped out by our country.”
"So I really thought about Hu Hai, which is why he got some bad reputation."
Hu Hai was stunned: Where did this fallacy come from?
Emperor Qin did not get angry immediately, but asked coldly: "Did you understand these principles yourself, or were they taught to you by others?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Fusu's face: "Thanks to the teachings of Master Zhou and others, I have the enlightenment I have today."
Emperor Qin just sneered, a hint of murderous intent flashing through his heart.
If Zhou Qingchen heard Fusu's words, he would look sad in a minute and shout "Fusu harmed me".
But Fusu didn't deceive his teammates at all, and continued: "In Confucianism, there are too many desirable spirits, such as the theory of benevolence and righteousness, such as the behavior of joining the world..."
Emperor Qin waved his hand, interrupted and said: "That's enough. Hu Hai, tell me, why did you frame Fusu?"
Hu Hai pretended to be confused and replied: "Framing, my son and I don't have one, what does the emperor mean by this?"
Emperor Qin's face was gloomy and full of anger. He didn't dare to admit that he had done something wrong. He said with a mocking face: "So, you are also doing it for Fusu's good? They are really a good pair of brothers.
"
Hu Hai said confidently: "Of course, my son Su heard that Brother Fusu was kind and kind, so he used his name to release grain to the poor for three days. Everyone praised him for coming. Isn't it good for him?"
Fusu couldn't help but retorted: "You only let it go for three days, but you told others to let it go for a year. If they can't get it, they are all scolding me secretly. Isn't this a frame-up for me?"
Only after listening to the statue of Hu Hai did he come to his senses and said: "I didn't say that, it must be those untouchables who maliciously spread rumors in order to get more food. There are so many poor people outside the city. Who can afford to let them go in a year? There must be someone."
Spread rumors."
Fusu...isn't it you? You are still here, shouting to catch the thief.
Hu Hai said to himself: "Brother Fusu, ask yourself, is this my brother trying to frame you?"
Fusu...
Emperor Qin looked at Fusu who was speechless by Hu Hai and shook his head. Compared to Hu Hai, Fusu's methods were too immature.
Emperor Qin said calmly: "That's enough, don't fight anymore. You two are brothers, how can you fight in the same room? Next time something like this happens, I will break your legs."
Fusu Huhai immediately saluted and said yes.
Emperor Qin suddenly seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said: "Come here, bring Hu Hai and Fu Su's men, and give them ten lashes each. The master is acting nonsense, and as a subordinate, he doesn't know how to admonish, and give him a small punishment."
Punishment, if there is a next time, it will be severe."
A group of guards followed the order and went away. While the men brought by Hu Hai and Fu Su were blinded, they were all flogged ten times, until the skin and flesh on their bodies were torn and bloody.
Hu Hai looked at his injured men and couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. He suddenly remembered that Lin Ze didn't seem to be following him, and he suddenly realized: You Lin Ze is so cunning and slippery, you have already guessed that something bad happened, right?
