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

Chapter 198: Everyone's Invitation

Chapter 198: Everyone's Invitation

On the steps outside Zhangtai Palace, Fusu knelt there, not daring to get up at all.

The guards and servants who passed by around him also looked sideways and pointed.

Since returning from Longxi, Fusu had no time to go back to the residence and met Yingzheng directly, but it was a pity that Yingzheng never summoned him.

In desperation, Fusu could only kneel outside the palace and wait for Ying Zheng's decision.

Inside the hall.

Li Si, Meng Yi, Wei Liao, Feng Jie and other ministers all sat on the sides, and Ying Zheng carried a sword at his waist. In front of him was a huge sand table.On the top of the sand table are the trends of mountains and rivers, as well as the cities and passes of Qin State scattered all over the place.

"Your Majesty, since the rebellion of Zhang Er, Chen Yu, Wu Rui and Xiang Yu, several counties in the southeast have completely fallen into the hands of the rebels. Now our Qin army has shrunk the front line, and all the troops have withdrawn to Nanyang and Hedong. The garrison of Youdai and there The old Qin people are still on the way to retreat, and I believe they will enter Hedong soon." Li Si first briefly reported the current situation to everyone.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, pointed at Zhao and Qi with the Tianwen sword in his hand, and asked, "Zhao is my feud with Qin, and the world is in chaos. Don't they show any signs of chaos?"

"Your Majesty, according to the news from all parties, the two places are indeed peaceful, and there is indeed no movement."

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and made him understand a truth after ruling the country for decades.

The calmer the situation, the easier it is for a crisis to erupt.

The land of Zhao Qiyan and the Three Kingdoms spans thousands of miles, and the Great Qin established it for countless years of conquest of these lands. It can be said that every piece of land here was obtained after repeated bloody battles by the Qin people.

Now that it is lost like this, it is difficult for anyone to accept it.

But as Zhao Gang said, if you don't give up, the body of the giant Qin State will be riddled with holes. Once the toxin enters the bone marrow, even the Daluo Jinxian cannot save the dying patient Qin State.

Ying Zheng naturally dared not listen to Zhao Gang's golden words.

Now he looked at the devastated Daqin, and felt extremely sad in his heart.

But he is also very clear that he can only minimize the loss, so that Qin can go east again to maintain its strength.

"Is there any news from the Black Ice Platform?"

Dun Ruo, who returned to Xianyang with Fusu, replied: "According to the news from our secret agents in Handan and Linzi. The royal family of Zhao is planning to restore the country, but because Zhao suffered serious losses before, at this moment There is no way to raise soldiers and money, so we can only put it on hold."

"What about Linzi?"

"The spies we placed in Linzi sent an important message. The Confucians are willing to join the Imperial Academy like the Mohists."

When Dunwei's voice fell, many ministers present were stunned, especially Li Si, the leader of the ministers, looked at Dunwei with unbelievable eyes.

Confucianism may let go?

Could it be that Teacher Xunzi has let go of that incident back then?
Li Si didn't believe it.

Because this incident has always been a difficult threshold for Xunzi to cross, and because of this incident, their master and apprentice have not had any contact for so many years.

Now that Confucianism suddenly announces to join the empire, it means that Xunzi and Li Si will have the opportunity to meet again in the future.

Thinking of his strict teacher, Li Si's face was full of all kinds of melancholy.

Ying Zheng, who knew Li Si's mood, smiled and said, "Why does the Prime Minister have such an expression? I believe that Master Xunzi has let go of the burden in his heart. After all, that incident back then has nothing to do with you."

Li Si said with emotion: "Although it was not caused by my minister, after all, Junior Brother Han Fei was recommended to His Majesty by me. In the end, he also died strangely in Xianyang in our country of Qin. Everyone has suspected that I killed him for so many years. I know this This matter has become a bad debt, and I can't explain it clearly. Therefore, I don't have the face to see Master Xun. Now that Master Xun is willing to let go of his worries, what can I not let go of? "

Everyone knows more or less what happened back then, but they also have only a half-knowledge, so it's not easy to say much.

"Since Confucianism is also willing to cooperate with the empire, it seems that our Taixue will soon be on the right track." Ying Zheng said with emotion.

Unlike the conquest of the six countries, it is even more difficult to win the hearts of the people of the six countries.

Now that there are students from Confucianism and Mohist schools joining, I believe that the empire will never lack talents in the future.

And if the paper provided by Zhao Gang is added, it will be more convenient for the empire to cultivate talents.

At that time, all the students in the world will come from my country of Qin. Even if all the six countries rebel, for my great Qin, as long as a million troops come out, they will be wiped out like the autumn wind sweeping away leaves.

Mentioning Zhao Gang, Ying Zheng thought of Fusu who was still kneeling outside the hall.

Seeing Yingzheng's eyes sweeping outside the hall, Li Si suddenly understood something, and stepped forward and said, "At the beginning, the officials who lost Xianyang were also responsible, and such things should not be attributed to the eldest son. Now the eldest son is reorganizing in Longxi The frontier has made great contributions to our Great Qin, even though there are some problems, but I believe that these are not big things."

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si and knew why he said such things.

But he was worried and looked at the other people and asked, "You all think so too?"

Wei Liao has always been a neutral faction, no matter which prince in the court takes the throne, it is the same for him.Therefore, at the moment when Ying Zheng asked the question, he stood there like a pillar.

Meng Yi cupped his hands and said: "I think it's really not right for you to offset your merits and demerits, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

Feng Jie immediately stood by Fusu's side and said.

Several ministers turned to Fusu one after another. Even if Yingzheng had plans to deal with him, it was difficult to say anything in such a situation.

He sighed softly and said: "I know that Fusu is indeed talented, but I have observed him for a long time, and he lacks a kind of tenacity, especially when he is hesitant to do some big things, it is really not what the old Qin should do." It looks like something. Therefore, I plan to let him practice a little more, and make a decision after observation in the future."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately understood that Fusu might be farther away from the throne.

But at the very least, Ying Zheng did not directly block the possibility of Fusu ascending the throne.

As long as everything is possible, it is a good thing for Fusu's buddies like them.

Li Si then added: "Your Majesty is wise, I admire you!"

"I admire you."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and signaled to everyone, "Okay, you all step back!"

"Yes!"

All the civil and military personnel retreated from the hall one by one, and Ying Zheng sat there alone. After thinking for a long time, he ordered to the servant next to him: "Xuan help Su enter the hall."

Looking at Fusu in front of him, Ying Zheng sighed softly: "Do you know why I keep you kneeling?"

"My son knows."

"It's good to know, you've done a good job in Longxi's errands, now I'm going to let you go to Youdai, don't let me down."

Fusu's strength seemed to be emptied in an instant, and he looked at Ying Zheng in front of him and said, "Your servant takes orders."
