Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 196 Fusu's Situation

Chapter 196 Fusu's Situation

There was a jubilant scene in the Longxi Prefect's Mansion.

Since the retreat of the Huns, the cities of Longxi have regained their original calm.All the cities have been repaired and basically restored to their former appearance.

With the cooperation of Xiao Wengzhong and Fusu, the Longxi Army was reorganized, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except Fusu's face no longer showed any joy.

Although everyone tried their best to block the news, Fusu still learned of Zhao Gang's real identity from some channels.

The father has eighteen sons in total, and he has always regarded Hu Hai as his worst enemy.

After finally solving Hu Hai's trouble, he didn't expect that there would be a younger brother, and the strength and prestige of this younger brother was by no means comparable to that of Hu Hai.

If he was just a wild child, he would not be afraid of him, but he had heard of him after returning from Northern Xinjiang, then Zhao Gang had made great contributions in Northern Xinjiang, and he even cured his father.

Not only has he achieved great success, he has also received praise from numerous civil and military ministers.

If this continues, I am afraid that I will only get farther and farther away from the throne.

Just as he was thinking, Xiao Weng Zhong rushed in, looked at Fusu with a melancholy expression, put a jar of wine in front of his eyes and said, "My lord, why don't you go out and drink with us?"

Fusu glanced at the drunk young Weng Zhong and said dissatisfiedly, "Have you forgotten how Lintao fell?"

Xiao Wengzhong was startled, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He looked at Fusu in front of him: "I don't dare to forget!"

"Since you don't dare to forget, you should drink less, drinking will cause trouble!"

Xiao Weng Zhong asked a little puzzled: "Then why did Master Ke Qing not tell me to drink less when I was in Xianyang back then, and even said that I should drink as much as I want before the battle without any scruples."

"Guest Qing? Are you talking about Zhao Gang?" Fu Su's voice suddenly doubled in volume.

"Of course it's Zhao Keqing, and I, Daqin, seem to be the only Keqing."

The anger in Fusu's heart suddenly rose, kicked over the table in front of him, and cursed: "From today on, you are not allowed to mention this person's name in front of me again."

"Why? Zhao Keqing has done great service to the empire, why is the eldest son so hostile to him?"

Fu Su was already in a mood of agitation, but when he heard Xiao Weng Zhong say this, he suddenly became angry, pointed at Xiao Weng Zhong and scolded: "I am the eldest son, do I still have to report everything to you? I don't know, you Just do it, understand?"

Xiao Wengzhong was originally a warrior, especially his father who died in battle. If Zhao Gang had not successfully blocked the Huns' invasion in Xianyang, not to mention a great hatred, no one knows how many people of Qin would have died under the swords of the Huns.

Now that such a great benefactor is actually hated by Fusu so much, could it be that the outside world is really telling the truth.The eldest son was very jealous of Master Ke Qing's talent, so he was demoted to the land of Longxi by His Majesty the Emperor.

"Understood! If the eldest son has nothing to do, I will go out first."

With that said, Xiao Weng Zhong picked up his flagon and went out directly.

Looking at Xiao Weng Zhong who left in a huff, although Fu Su knew that he had said something wrong and caused the other party to misunderstand, but now that he had already spoken, he could only make up for it in the future.

At this moment, a servant walked in from the door.

"My lord, someone from Xianyang is here."

Fusu was startled, looked at the person in front of him hesitantly and asked, "Who is here?"

"It's Mr. Dunwei."

The hairs all over Fusu's body stood on end.

Others don't know, but he knows very well that Dunwei is the eyes and ears of the father, and an important minister in charge of the Black Ice Terrace. If he came, it must be because of what happened in Xianyang before.

It's about Zhao Gang. If I can't explain it clearly, I'm afraid the road ahead will only become more and more dangerous.

Thinking of this, he looked at his subordinates and said, "Go and invite Mr. Dunwei to enter."

Not long after, Du Ruo walked in, glanced at the extremely exhausted Su Xing and bowed and said, "Master, you are much older than when you left Xianyang."

Fu Su sighed: "Working hard for the country, how can we not grow old. Is it because of the father's will that Master Dunwei came here in the starry night?"

Fusu hopes that Yingzheng can call him back to Xianyang at this time. If this is the case, there may be a chance for everything to change.

But the result is backfired.

Dun Ruo watched Fusu take out a decree and said: "Master Fusu accepts the decree."

"My son, Ying Fusu, kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor."

"I ask you the first question. I sent you to Longxi, do you have any complaints in your heart?"

Dunruo looked at Fusu in front of him, his eyes full of melancholy.

He is in charge of the Black Ice Terrace, so he knows exactly what happened in Xianyang.

He was sure Fusu didn't know Zhao Gang's identity at that time, but it was because Zhao Gang contradicted him, which made him unable to step down.However, sending troops to besiege Zhao Gang's mansion and creating a commotion made Ying Zheng feel dissatisfied with him.

In particular, after Ying Zheng met Zhao Gang and his son, this kind of dissatisfaction continued to ferment, which made Ying Zheng feel disgusted with the eldest son.Only considering the stability of the empire, Yingzheng sent Fusu to Longxi to temporarily leave the core area of ​​public opinion.

"My son dare not complain. My son is in charge of supervising the country, but missed the important town of Longxi. My son is guilty. It is already a great gift from the father that the emperor did not kill my son. I dare not think otherwise."

Dunruo then asked: "Your Majesty asked you, have you forgotten the way to be a king that he taught you in the past?"

"Don't forget."

"Then why did the act of mutilating Zhongliang appear?"

Fusu looked at the weak figure in front of him, hesitated for a moment and hid what was deep in his heart.

"Although Zhao Gang is a virtuous minister, how can I bear him to contradict me in public? My son was entrusted by his father to supervise the affairs of the country. As a minister, Zhao Gang did not abide by his duties. Despise me, Great Qin. If all the courtiers that my Great Qin relies on in the future are like this, how can our Great Qin gain a foothold in the world?"

Seeing this, Dunwei slightly frowned and looked at Fusu in front of him and said: "First there are rulers and then there are ministers. If the king treats his ministers unfairly, the ministers can naturally rebel against the king."

Fu Su frowned and asked, "Is this what you mean, or is it what the father meant?"

"It's the minister who wants to ask the eldest son."

"Master Dunwei thinks I'm wrong?"

"Does the young master still think that he is not wrong? At the beginning, Duke Xiao and Shang Yang had quarrels, but the monarch and his ministers never left, and this was the prosperity of Daqin. During the period of King Huiwen, Zhang Yi was slandered many times, but King Huiwen never believed in these rumors, and this established the momentum for my Great Qin to go east. Now that Zhao Gang just contradicted you in public, you sent troops to surround his mansion. How can His Majesty not be angry when he hears of such meanness."

"Then... what should I do, Lord Dunwei, please teach me, what should I do?"

Dunwei shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty is the only one who speaks now, otherwise the young master has absolutely no possibility of saving himself. Your majesty has already ordered the young master to return to Xianyang to face the king immediately. I hope the young master will think about how to answer."

"What, didn't you just now?"

"That was an opportunity His Majesty gave you, but it's a pity that you didn't seize it."
