Ye Yu went to report to Yingzheng as usual, Baijia has now been assigned to various places, so there is no need for him to be in charge of guards and inspections, but he is still a general himself, even if he does not go out to fight, the affairs in the barracks will not matter. Not a lot.

"Mr. Changping." Outside the hall, he saw Mr. Changping just coming out of it. Although the two had no friendship, he still greeted him politely.

Mr. Changping's expression was not very good, he seemed to have noticed him only after hearing his greeting, he nodded back, and left in a hurry.Ye Yu has seen his attitude many times recently.

Lord Changping is the son of the Chu State. In terms of relationship, he is still the cousin of Yingzheng. He was enshrined as a marquis during the time of King Zhuang Xiang. He is considered the leader of the Chu family in the Qin State. Yan Dan jumped around like that.But he didn't need to jump around, he came to Qin to serve as an official, not to be a proton.

Ye Yu usually saw that this person was personable, and he didn't look like a nobleman in the name of Mr. Chu, but recently he looked a bit dingy.

As foreign relatives of the Chu family, it is true that they have a deep root in Qin, but Yingzheng will not deal with them at this time. There is no reason and no need. The Queen Mother Huayang treats Yingzheng pretty well.

If you really want to say that there is something that can make Mr. Changping lose his temper, could it be related to the state of Chu?

Ye Yu was puzzled, and after the report, he asked Ying Zheng, "But what happened to Chu?"

Ying Zheng also guessed the reason why he would ask such a question, shook his head and said: "Mr. Chunshen is on the run, but his henchmen and clansmen are all punished. As long as there is no help, there will probably be no troubles. And Lord Changping came to fight on behalf of Chu State for this reason." Qin is on good terms."

"I see." Ye Yu immediately understood the joints.

The King of Chu destroyed the three clans of Lord Chunshen, and Lord Chunshen must now hate him greatly. Maybe he will unite with other countries and take a bite of the now weak state of Chu to avenge his hatred.And Mr. Changping came to find Yingzheng several times. On the one hand, he wanted to make friends and prevent Qin from becoming the country that took advantage of it. On the other hand, he also hoped that if something happened to Chu, Qin would lend a helping hand.

Generally speaking, the relationship between Qin and Chu is not bad, otherwise Mr. Changping would not be able to stay in his position safely.It's just that the last time Chu State initiated the alliance, the relationship between the two countries has reached a deadlock, and there are even signs of deterioration.

From another point of view, Mr. Changping's move may be like leading a wolf into a house, but in fact it is actually a smart move.

Qin State was too much of a threat to Chu State, so he first win over Qin State, at least avoiding the possibility of Chunshen Jun borrowing Qin State's power.Secondly, he understands that the current state of Qin has no way to swallow the state of Chu in one go, otherwise the next alliance will not be resolved in a few words.Finally, Qin State is now appointing a hundred schools of thought, and at the time when the most worthy names are the most important, Qin State will not do things that are treacherous, at least for the time being.

"What is your Majesty's plan?" Ye Yu had his own thoughts in his heart, but he also wanted to know what Ying Zheng thought of it.

Although Qin State can't swallow Chu State now, it can take advantage of this to nibble or the lion will open its mouth to blackmail Chu State.

"It's just a small profit." Ying Zheng said disdainfully.

Ye Yu smiled, and anyone would be happy to know that their monarch is a visionary, not a short-sighted guy.Qin State can indeed take advantage of this to encroach on Chu State, but how can this compare to the benefits that Chu State's continuous chaos brings to Qin State?

Although Ying Zheng has only a weak crown, Ye Yu believes that there is no king of the Six Kingdoms who is more capable than him.

I still remember reading some arguments in my previous life, saying that Qin was able to unify the world because of the accumulation of previous Qin kings, and Yingzheng was just following the trend and enjoying the success.

In this regard, Ye Yu did not deny the first half of the sentence, but he just wanted to slap the person who said the second half of the sentence.

He has seen what Yingzheng has done these years, and the words describing Qin Shihuang in the history books in his memory have gradually faded away. The only person he recognizes is Yingzheng in front of him.

He kept building a good reputation for Yingzheng, covering up those cruel things that are considered normal even in this era, in addition to his own intolerance and in order to recruit talents and reduce the crisis of Qin's destruction, he also wanted to be praised by future generations He, instead of being stigmatized for thousands of years, is still being slandered even in the era of information explosion.

Ye Yu actually doesn't like to think about those twists and turns. Lu Buwei said that military generals are simple-minded. However, which military general can be really simple to sit in a high position?Most of the time they just don't want to think about it.Don't you see that when they are fighting, they are not only eloquent, but also able to grasp any strategy without being half-dumb.

Ye Yu's initial goal was the same, but he later realized that not only would he not be able to survive, Qin would not be able to survive forever.

So, after he became enlightened and had the ability to protect himself, he still made those twists and turns that he didn't like, just because Qin State needed it and Ying Zheng needed it.

After confirming that Yingzheng was not inflated by the threat of losing Lu Buwei and Lao Ai after taking office, Ye Yu resigned after taking a dose of tranquilizer.

"You haven't seen Fusu for a while, he will come soon, you might as well stay and eat before leaving." Ying Zheng said.

Ye Yu hadn't seen Fusu for a long time, not only because he was busy, but also because he had never seen Fusu near Yingzheng Palace.

Ye Yu would not take the initiative to meet Fusu without Yingzheng's permission. Even if he sincerely hoped that Fusu could become the prince, he was afraid that his behavior would be interpreted by Yingzheng as standing in line.He didn't know what Ying Zheng was thinking, but in his impression, an ordinary king would not be happy to see his subjects interfering in Lidi's affairs.

But hearing Ying Zheng's words, it seemed that Fu Su had always had Ying Zheng's permission to come to see him?

Ye Yu was slightly taken aback, then nodded in response.

Before Fu Su came, Ye Yu sat aside and watched Ying Zheng handle official affairs. Occasionally, Ying Zheng would ask him for his opinion, and he told the truth.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the voice of the child, and sure enough, someone immediately reported that Fusu had come.

The four or five-year-old little Fusu came into view, and Fusu saw that his eyes lit up obviously, but he still saluted politely first.

Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips at this time and asked about Fusu's academic progress.

At this time, there were no three hundred thousand poems, let alone three hundred Tang poems. The enlightenment works of each school were different. Ye Yu was also a little curious about what Yingzheng chose for Fusu—then he heard Xiao Fusu open his mouth and recite it. Han Fei's works.

He thought he would be surprised, but what he thought in his mind was the four big words "it really is".

After all, Fusu was still young, so it was impossible to memorize all of them, so he stopped after memorizing one chapter, watching the reactions of Ying Zheng and Ye Yu.After receiving Ying Zheng's satisfied expression and Ye Yu's praise, Xiao Fusu thought he was secretly relieved, and sat down to eat with them.

Naturally, they didn't talk about anything during the meal, but after the meal, Ying Zheng brought up the matter of asking him to be Fusu's teacher.Among the six arts of Confucian gentlemen, there are two arts of imperial archery, and of course martial arts is indispensable for the princes of martial arts countries.

Seeing Fusu's expectant eyes, although Ye Yu felt that he was still young, he did not refuse this time, "I am willing, I just hope that you don't think I am clumsy."

"Of course I don't dislike it!" Fusu received him as soon as he finished speaking.

Four or five years old... I can hardly draw a bow and shoot an arrow, but I can ride a horse.

Ye Yu was thinking about it.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Ying Zheng said, "In that case, General Lao is here every two days."

Ye Yu readily complied, and was respectfully sent out of the palace by his little disciple.

When he returned to the mansion much later than usual, his first disciple Li You was already practicing spontaneously.

"Master." Li You already has one now. If it wasn't for the recent lack of war in Qin, his ability to win at least one general would be more than enough. If he has some qualifications, it would not be difficult to become a general.

Ye Yu gave a few pointers as usual, and finally said: "You have a junior brother."

Li You suddenly remembered Ye Yu mentioning his junior brother two years ago, and he, who has always been calm, also became a little curious, "The junior junior brother is...?"

It was rare for Ye Yu to see him curious about something. Originally, he wanted to say it bluntly, but now he didn't say it bluntly, "I'll take you to see him after a while."

Li You is good at martial arts, but he has good genes, and his brain is not bad, so he immediately turned around.

Since the legendary junior brother couldn't come to the master's house, it was either because of his weak body or special status, and the former could hardly become Ye Yu's disciple, so it was probably the latter.

He also thought that Ye Yu had just come out of the palace, and the answer was ready to come out immediately.

"Is it the eldest son?" Qin has many clan sons, but the only one who can be called "the eldest son" is Fusu, the eldest son of Yingzheng.

Ye Yu knew that Li You was much smarter than he looked, so he was only surprised for a moment, "That's right, it's him."

Li You didn't have much joy, but he didn't resist either. He just nodded his head lightly, and planned to continue practicing after saying a word.

But just when he was about to turn around, Ye Yu suddenly said, "If your father doesn't ask about your junior brother, then there's no need to talk about it."

This was the rare time Ye Yu mentioned Li Si in front of him, and he nodded very solemnly.

Seeing him like this, Ye Yu sighed slightly in his heart. Li You was smart because he was smart, but he was not as shrewd as his father at all, which made him feel a little bit uneasy.

It's just that he would never say such a thought. He just watched Li You continue to enter the martial arts training ground, and he was itching to end the battle with him for a few moves, when he saw Zhao Cheng coming.

"General, a merchant is here to deliver the goods."

Ye Yu paused, turned around and went to the hall, where a rectangular box brought by a businessman was waiting, and it could be seen from the shape that it must be a long sword.

Although he already has Zhanlu, but it is not a usual gift, he also wants to collect some swords, so sometimes he will order a few merchants who travel around the world, if they see any good swords, they can sell them to him. he.

Looking at the sword, Ye Yu looked satisfied, and asked the businessman, "This time the sword is worth the weight of a sword, where did you find it?"

The businessman replied: "A lot of goods from Chu came here a few days ago, and this is one of them."

Ye Yu paused for a moment, and said, "If I had known this before, I would have asked you to bring more. My disciple is about to get married and crowned, so the more things you can give away, the better." What good things are missing, and there are quite a few people who give gifts to him in normal times, but if you accidentally bump into the owner giving to the west, and the west giving to him, it will be embarrassing for him to give to the owner.

The businessman hurriedly said: "What do you want, I will bring it back to you next time."

Ye Yu didn't ask for a sword this time, but talked about some curios made in the south that are suitable for gifts.
