Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 223 If you can't hold back your face, you will lose face! (seeking subscription)

The next day.

It was just getting brighter.

Fusu received a message.

After Fengchang Hu Wujing went back last night, while taking a bath, Li Chen made a mistake and replaced warm water with cold water. Hu Wujing accidentally contracted a cold and is currently lying in bed.

Therefore, I specially sent someone to send a message to Fusu. I am currently in poor health, and I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to carry out Fusu's orders.

Looking at the bamboo in his hand, Fusu chuckled lightly, and said lightly: "Feng Chang doesn't seem to be seriously ill, and he still thought about sending me a letter, but when you were planning to open the mansion a few days ago, did you ever think about it?" Will it come out today?"

"Come on."

Fusu said loudly towards the outside of the hall.

"Immediately invite the imperial physician from the Imperial Physician's Office to see Feng Chang."

"Feng Chang is an important minister of the imperial court, a minister of the emperor's arm and shoulders. Right now, he is suffering from wind and cold, so he should be cured."

"also."

"Tell Hu Wujing."

"Continue to do what I command you to do."

"I gave him two choices, either let him write down the names of those courtiers, and I will send someone to pass the message on his behalf, or he will take the initiative to explain the matter."

"If not."

"Then it's better if you really don't get sick!"

Done.

Fusu threw the bamboo piece in his hand casually.

Hu Wujing's idea is like a bright mirror in his heart.

It is to pretend to be sick on purpose.

But how could he be so easily deceived again?

Didn't Hu Wujing call him sick?

Then send the imperial physician over to see if the disease is real or fake, you will know when the time comes.

And didn't Hu Wujing want to confuse this matter?

He just refused to let Hu Wujing succeed.

This matter must have results.

Either Hu Wujing took the initiative to settle the matter, or he made Hu Wujing look good.

Soon.

Hu Wujing, who was lying on the sickbed, received the order from Fusu, looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, Hu Wujing's already pale face was even more gloomy at this moment.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, are you really going to force me to death?"

"If I die, what good will it do you?"

"I am your Prince Fu!"

What he doesn't know now is that Fusu guessed his intentions, and he decided not to give him any chance to fool him, just wanting himself to take this matter down.

Fusu, you are so cruel!
Hu Wujing's teeth itch in his heart, but he didn't dare to delay.

Hastily asked someone to pour some cold water on himself, the well water in July was so cold that it made one's heart chill, after a few buckets of cold water, Hu Wujing was shivering from the cold, and his face suddenly turned pale, and the matter now came to an end , even if he is not sick, he must be sick at this moment.

Otherwise, this is the crime of deceiving the king.

Hu Wujing trembled and got into the quilt.

Soon.

Several imperial doctors came.

But at this time, Hu Wujing's whole body was trembling, his face was pale, his lips were blue, his body was steaming, but his palms and feet were cold. After a few imperial doctors looked at it, they didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly opened the door A few herbs.

After fooling these imperial doctors away.

Hu Wujing also gulped down the ginger water, his body still trembling uncontrollably.

He has read more than half a hundred.

It was a bit unbearable to go down those buckets of cold water.

But the situation is such that it has to be done.

Hu Wujing was lying on the bed, but his mind was serious.

he knows.

He was played by Fusu again.

Fusu had already seen through her petty thoughts.

This time it's a steal.

If he didn't handle it well this time, not only would he have to get involved, but he might also offend many of his colleagues. Now this tricky matter was clearly laid out in front of him, waiting for him to solve it.

But how does this make him speak?

If they knew what Fusu was going to do, how could these people easily agree?

Now Fusu blamed himself for all the problems, and asked himself to deal with the follow-up, but how could this be so easy to deal with?Now the courtiers who promised before have to make a choice.

Join Fusu's so-called Office of Affairs, or directly propose.

If they give up, doesn't that mean that these courtiers never thought about going forward or retreating with Fusu?I just want to get the moon first, if this news reaches Fusu's ears, what will Fusu think of these courtiers in the future?
If continue to join.

With Fusu's stubbornness in the past, there may be some troubles, and the reward of millions of people, how can it be so easy to solve?If it is not handled properly in the end, or if something goes wrong, these courtiers may still blame themselves.

No matter from which point of view, this time I was in trouble.

And it's a terrible thing!
Hu Wujing lay paralyzed on the bed, breathing heavily for air, but his eyelids felt heavier and heavier, his body also felt heavier and hotter, but his eyes were still somewhat clear.

He had to figure out a solution.

Otherwise, his position as an ordinary person may come to an end.

a long time.

Hu Wujing still decided to hold back, and was going to wait and see what happened tomorrow.

If there is no good solution in the end, this matter may still be discussed. If some feasible policy is really reached, then the only thing he can do is to abandon himself.

Although he was ranked in the Jiuqing, he did not dare to offend more than a dozen courtiers directly.

These people have a lot of power to speak in the DPRK.

If this offends him, he is destined to struggle in the court in the future, and he may even be subjected to various runs and difficulties. These are not bad, but the most important thing is that this matter will completely ruin his reputation. Who will believe him in the court at that time? ?

So after thinking about it, he could only choose to take the initiative to take the matter down, gritted his teeth, and only said that he was confused and remembered wrongly. In fact, there were not more than a dozen people, but he just slurred in front of him, intending to claim credit.

Think of this.

Hu Wujing also sighed deeply.

Even if he really did this, he would put those courtiers together, and his reputation in the court would undoubtedly drop drastically. If he wanted to do things in the name of the Prince's Mansion in the future, I'm afraid no one would follow him.

His prince Fu is also at an end.

Fortunately, I was able to keep my current position.

That's all.

He was also extremely angry at the moment.

He clearly calculated well, why did he become such a ghost?
In one thought.

He blamed all the problems on Zhang Cang.

If it wasn't for Zhang Cang to inform, how could Fusu know so quickly?How could he think of a countermeasure so quickly?Right now he has been completely played by Fusu, and he even pretended to be ill to fool him. Once these news spread, he would lose all face in the court.

It's just that he is a little puzzled.

Who exactly gave Fusu the idea?

He was really caught off guard, even flustered.

subconsciously.

He thought it was Zhang Cang.

Zhang Cang is an excellent student of Xunzi, and he indeed has this ability.

Zhang Cang had always been cautious in the past, he basically didn't offend people easily, and rarely publicized it to the public. Although he told him about it, how could Zhang Cang really think of such a complete countermeasure so quickly?

He was suspicious.

And Fusu has changed too much in this year.

He was also a little uncertain for a while.

But no matter what, he already understood in his heart that Fusu could no longer be underestimated like in the past, and anyone who dared to underestimate him would definitely pay a heavy price.

the other side.

The news that Hu Wujing was sick at home quickly spread throughout the court.

Hearing this news, everyone was shocked.

Especially when hearing Fusu's handling method, people can't help showing surprise. Some people are amazed at Fusu's wrist ability, some people are amazed at Fusu's quick response, and some people have begun to worry about Fusu's changes. The court is good or bad.

Various emotions were circulating among the courtiers.

It was also from this time that the courtiers looked squarely at the crown prince for the first time.

The affairs of the court also stop at the court.

But Hu Hai told Ji Heng about it.

Hearing Fusu's actions, Ji Heng seemed very calm. Fusu is no longer what it used to be. If you still look at it from the past, you are bound to suffer a big loss. And the courtiers obviously didn't take Fusu seriously in the past. Hu Wujing's temptation this time brought disaster upon himself.

Hu Hai looked at Ji Heng, and asked curiously: "I used to come to you often, why did my elder brother change so much? If I hadn't heard about it in the palace, I might not believe it. This behavior is from the hands of my elder brother. "

"This is really a bit too sinister."

"And the elder brother hated these plots the most in the past."

Ji Heng smiled, and said: "Dragon slayers will eventually become evil dragons. Many people will eventually become the people they hated before. Fusu may be no exception, but his transformation is a good thing for Daqin. A huge empire, if you want to rule this empire, you are destined to need a strong man, but no matter how strong a man is, there is a limit after all."

"If you want to effectively control this empire, you are destined to need some means and tactics."

"Fusu is just getting a glimpse of the door."

"but."

Ji Heng paused, frowned and said: "Based on what I know about Fu Su, he didn't think about it so meticulously. It's probably because someone told the situation in secret, and Fu Su just reacted, and even overreacted. But it’s a good thing.”

"Three fires for new officials to take office."

"Even if you are the prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, you still need to stand up."

"Besides, Hu Wujing asked for it himself. Wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't use it to build his prestige?"

"However, Fusu's approach is a bit extreme."

"After all, Hu Wujing is one of the nine ministers, with a high position and authority. Such tossing may make Hu Wujing resent Fusu in his heart, and revealing his widowhood prematurely will also make the courtiers a little vigilant. With vigilance, it will be relatively difficult for Fusu to get along with the courtiers in the future, and there will always be a certain distance."

"This is also a disadvantage."

heard.

Hu Hai was thoughtful.

In fact, he also felt that the eldest brother was a bit extreme.

This directly caused Hu Wujing to recuperate from his illness, and even brought the matter to light, seemingly ruthlessly raising his prestige and giving himself a wave of prestige, but in fact it made people feel a little bit afraid.

Hu Hai didn't think much about it either.

He has given up all the thought of fighting for reserves now.

He hangs out with Ji Heng all day, and doesn't care much about government affairs.

It's just that during this period of time, because his heart has settled down, he gradually felt anxious, especially when he saw the change in his eldest brother's temperament, and when other brothers began to plan to make meritorious deeds for him, he also became worried.

But he was a bit embarrassed, and he didn't want to say it directly, so he followed Ji Heng all the time, thinking when he would say it casually, let Ji Heng find a place for him, so that he could also get a title.

Hu Hai said: "Ji Heng, what do you think Hu Wujing would do?"

Ji Heng stretched his waist, turned his face over, and said calmly: "No matter how much Hu Wujing harbors hatred in his heart, he is only a courtier after all, so how dare he accuse Fusu in person? At most, he will make some small moves behind his back."

"And now Hu Wujing has been restrained."

"Fusu made it clear that he wanted to embarrass Hu Wujing, and he also made it clear that Hu Wujing would not be able to step down from the stage. In court, under normal circumstances, the unspoken rules followed are actually things that cannot save face. You have to cover it up. If you can't hold back, you will lose face."

"Now Hu Wujing doesn't save face."

"The only choice is to break the face."

"I've lost face, so I can save myself some face, but after all, both sides handled this matter too badly, so Hu Wujing's face will definitely not be saved, and he is destined to become a joke in the court."

"But Hu Wujing is ranked among the nine ministers after all."

"I still hold a lot of power in the court. This time I hurt my face and used it to save my face, which will make people feel sympathetic. Moreover, the relationship between Hu Wujing and Fusu has completely turned against each other because of this matter. In the future, if There are people in the court who oppose Fusu, and Hu Wujing may become a tongue-in-cheek."

"The whole thing is a lose-lose for both Hu Wujing and Fusu."

"Fusu had a good reputation in the past. After this incident, he will undoubtedly end up as a mean, ungrateful and calculating person. Moreover, he will directly reveal Fusu's recent changes, which will greatly inconvenience him in his future work."

"But it's actually understandable."

"Fusu used to be like a person who has been suppressed for a long time. Suddenly, when he has a chance to release, he will suddenly become a little crazy, even a little hysterical, and thus make some irrational operations."

"Especially this time it was Hu Wujing who was planning ahead. After Fusu found out, he must have felt somewhat annoyed."

"So it's a little more impulsive."

Ji Heng shook his head.

Fusu used to hate conspiracies and tricks, but this time Hu Wujing plotted secretly, and after Fusu got the insight, he immediately had a stress reaction, especially after dealing with it properly at the beginning, he not only tasted some sweetness, but also began to actively use power tricks To fight back for revenge.

This situation is very common.

But not rational.

Ji Heng didn't say much about it.

Fusu had been suppressed for too long in the past, and his mentality gradually overcorrected.

And his expectations for Fusu are not that high, and it is impossible to set them too high. This world needs Fusu's disposition to make a big change, but if he wants to change from the past of trusting people and being humane, it is doomed. very tough.

There are bound to be many problems.

For governing the world, Great Qin needs an Emperor Wen.

But Fusu obviously won't be.

He is most likely to become Emperor Jing.

But whether it is Emperor Wen or Emperor Jing, it has nothing to do with Ji Heng. What he cares about is that the world is on the right path. As for whether the emperor is Wen, Jing, or Wu, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter either.

Hu Hai nodded.

He couldn't figure out or understand these twists and turns in the court.

So just don't think about it.

It is enough to be able to live comfortably and be accompanied by a beautiful woman for a lifetime.
