This is due to Fusu's character. Being educated in "benevolence, justice and morality" since childhood made Fusu unable to bear the blow Chunyu Yue suffered...
You must know that Chunyu Yue began to teach Fusu when he was six years old, and it has been eight years now.
Moreover, Confucianism emphasizes "respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao". How could he, Fusu, go against the teacher's will?
On the other hand, it was because of Zhao Gao's influence... Zhao Gao's seemingly unintentional words once made Fusu think that Ying Zheng intended for him to follow Chun Yuyue.
But Fusu really didn't want to study with Chunyu Yue as usual, so he felt very uneasy and didn't know what to do.
So he responded to Chunyu Yue's questions word for word.
Until Chunyu Yue said:
"Master, go and prepare some salutes. There will be a lecture in Xianyang in a few days. I will rush to Xianyang as soon as possible."
Fusu suddenly came to his senses:
"Rush to Xianyang?"
"But Taifu, Fusu and Wang Ming are still here to serve as supervisors in Shouchun..."
Chun Yuyue did not want to interrupt Fusu and said:
"I have already asked the king."
"The appointment as supervisor of the army is just a temporary measure. The young master can choose whether to stay or not."
"The king means that the young master only needs to reply to the king."
Fusu was speechless for a moment.
If this had been said a month ago, he would probably have jumped for joy, but now he just felt that the news came at the wrong time.
Chunyu Yue saw Fu Su's expression was different and couldn't help but wonder:
"Didn't your Majesty tell you?"
Fusu replied:
"Never said."
Chunyu Yue said:
"I'm afraid the king was busy with political affairs and forgot for a while."
"Young master should reply to the king, otherwise it will be against the king's order."
Fusu bowed to Chunyu Yue and rushed to the palace with Zhao Gao.
Along the way, Zhao Gao naturally added fuel to the fire:
"The Shouchun army is fierce and dangerous. The young master is a rich man, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time."
"How could your Majesty have the heart to allow Young Master Changliu Shouchun to serve as military supervisor?"
"What the Taifu said is absolutely true, only benevolent people should be in high positions. Being unkind and being in high positions is spreading evil to everyone!"
…
What this says is that only benevolent people with high moral standards are suitable to occupy high positions, otherwise they will spread evil deeds to the world.
It goes without saying who the "benevolent person with high moral standards" refers to, Chun Yuyue.
The "unkind ones" are of course Shen Bing, or those generals who are always ready to fight with each other.
If these words had come from someone else, Fusu could have ignored them, but they came from Zhao Gao...
Then Fusu had to think carefully.
That's why people like Zhao Gao are said to be extremely important even though they have no real power.
Almost everyone in Da Qin is speculating on Ying Zheng's thoughts, including Fusu.
And the same sentence was expressed by Zhao Gao in different contexts...that means two meanings.
For example, Ying Zheng's intention to test Fusu this time is very obvious, and even Fusu feels it.
But when Zhao Gao said this, he turned to the other side, thinking that Ying Zheng wanted him to follow Chun Yuyue.
When Fusu stood in front of Ying Zheng again, Ying Zheng asked:
"Young master, have you met Taifu?"
Fusu replied:
"Go back to my father. I have already met the Grand Tutor."
Ying Zheng pretended to be relaxed and asked:
"So, what choice does the young master make?"
Fusu hesitated for a moment, then swallowed the words back when they were on his lips.
Seeing Fusu's hesitation, Ying Zheng felt a little unhappy again. He frowned and asked:
"In Xianyang or Shouchun, how can such a trivial matter embarrass the young master?"
Fusu gritted his teeth, knelt down and said:
"Father, forgive me."
"My son, I know in my heart that my father intends to let my son continue to study with the Grand Tutor."
"However, I have made my mind up. I am willing to go to Shouchun and continue to serve as the supervisor of the army!"
"I hope my father will be successful!"
Ying Zheng was secretly happy, but on the outside he was calm and even pretended to be angry:
"Oh, Master, do you think you have learned enough to lead troops in battle?"
Fusu replied:
"My son, I have no intention of doing so."
"However, although I gained a lot from traveling with the Grand Tutor, I had nothing to rely on."
"What I learned in Shouchun was real, and now I have single-handedly helped Qin and Chu stop the war."
"How can a study tour make such a contribution?"
"I think..."
Ying Zheng nodded and said:
"Go for it!"
Fusu was overjoyed and knelt down and worshiped vigorously:
"Thank you, Father, for your success!"
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu's leaving figure and said happily to Zhao Gao:
"I think I found the right person on this trip."
"The achievements of Chun Yuyue in eight years are not as good as those of Shen Bing in one month."
"Shen Bing is truly a god!"
Although Zhao Gao felt unhappy for a while, he said:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is Great Qin's good fortune! We, Great Qin, have someone to succeed us!"
So Fusu returned to Shouchun.
Before that, Fusu went to Chunyu Yue to explain... Although Fusu could just leave like this, Chunyu Yue couldn't do anything to him. After all, Fusu was the prince.
But after all, Chunyu Yue had taught Fusu for eight years, and Fusu thought he had to say something no matter what.
However, although Fusu had developed good eloquence following Chun Yuyue, he still didn't know what to say.
Finally, looking at Chun Yuyue who was full of doubts, Fusu only said:
"Grand Tutor, your Majesty agrees to Fusu's request and sends Fusu to Shouchun to continue serving as military supervisor."
Chunyu Yue had actually felt it a long time ago, but he couldn't believe it.
"Why is this so?" Chunyu Yue asked puzzledly: "Young Master is an enemy..."
Fusu interrupted Chunyu Yue:
"It's not because Fusu is dissatisfied with Taifu."
"The great master worked hard and taught well without complaining. Fusu will remember it in his heart and be grateful."
"However……"
Fusu didn't know what to say.
Are you saying it’s because you’ve grown up?
Or is it because you want to change your environment?
Or want to lead an army in battle?
No matter what I say, it's all an excuse, but it can't avoid hurting Chun Yuyue's heart.
Fusu knew this, and Chunyu Yue also knew this.
In the end, Chunyu Yue realized what was going on. He shed tears, raised his hands and said to Fusu:
"I understand the prince's wishes."
"So, please take care of yourself along the way, sir."
Fusu knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Chunyu Yue three times before leaving with tears in his eyes.
It doesn't matter to Shen Bing.
Because he had never thought that Ying Zheng would send Fu Su here...
More importantly, Shen Bing also knew that Fusu was not a piece of cake.
In history, he was forced to death by Zhao Gao and Li Si.
Meng Tian, who taught him, did not believe Nao Shizi's lies, but was eventually forced to commit suicide by taking poison.
Now that Fusu is taught by Shen Bing instead of Meng Tian, does that mean...
What a headache!
Wouldn’t it be enough to send Hu Hai here?
Can't Shen Bing just sit back and wait for glory and wealth?
But then again, if it is the same as Zhao Gao, Li Si, Hu Hai and others, does that mean that the Qin Dynasty will still perish in just a dozen years?
So there is no way!
The right way is to try your best to protect Su's life and help him rise to the top.
