Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 289 Use retreat to advance! (Please subscribe)
Fusu met Du He and others in the side hall.

Seeing Zhang Cang, Du He and others were stunned for a moment.

Zhang Cang also hurriedly bowed and said, "My lower official Zhang Cang pays homage to all the ministers."

After Du He and others paid tribute to Fusu, they asked in confusion: "Why are you here, Your Highness?"

Zhang Cang chuckled lightly and said calmly: "Your Majesty was summoned by Your Highness today to discuss the subsequent transfer of non-commissioned officers of Beiyuan Army. Although the transfer of non-commissioned officers of Beiyuan Army has not officially begun, as a member of His Highness's Affairs Office, Your Highness has since You should plan in advance to avoid making mistakes in the future, but why are the ministers so mobilized?"

Zhang Cang looked curious.

The fat and white cheeks were filled with doubts.

Ji Ran looked Zhang Cang up and down, his eyes full of disdain.

He said coldly: "We are asking to see His Highness this time because we have important matters to discuss."

heard.

Zhang Cang's expression changed slightly, as if he did not dare to listen, and he hurriedly excused himself: "Since the ministers and His Highness have important matters to discuss, Zhang Cang will leave first."

talking.

Zhang Cangzhen bowed to Fusu and began to walk out of the palace.

Fu Su frowned.

He glanced at Zhang Cang thoughtfully, but did not stop him.

Du He on the side didn't know what he thought of. He smiled faintly and said, "Yu Shi Zhang doesn't need to leave. It's just some common things that have been spread throughout the city. It doesn't hurt for Yu Shi Zhang to listen."

see.

Zhang Cang showed a hint of hesitation and finally looked at Fusu.

Fusu hesitated for a moment, but did not agree. Instead, he asked Du He, "Young Master, what happened in the city?"

Du He cupped his hands and said, "Back to Your Highness, there are some rumors spreading in the city recently."

"Rumors?" Fusu frowned, with a bit of displeasure on his face, and said dissatisfied: "Since it is a rumor, let the local officials deal with it. Why do you need to ask the ministers to come in person? Are the local officials so inactive? They Don’t you know that laws exist in Da Qin?!”

Fusu's face was as frosty as ice.

Du He said quickly: "What His Highness said is absolutely true."

"Before I come, I have asked the Xianyang Order to arrest those who spread the rumors."

"It's just that this time the rumors are coming fiercely and involve His Highness. I think the matter may not be that simple. In addition, many of these rumors have been believed by the outside world. This also makes me a little uneasy, so I came here specifically to let Your Highness know." clarify."

Fu Su frowned.

He glanced at Du He indifferently and said in a solemn voice: "Want me to clarify?"

"What do I need to clarify?"

"Young Master might as well speak more clearly."

Du He's eyes were slightly closed, making it difficult to see his expression. He hesitated for a while and said: "Your Highness, please calm down. I'm not blaming Your Highness. It's just that three people have become a tiger. The outside world has raised a lot of objections to some of His Highness's actions. I Worried that it might happen again in the future, just in case, and to avoid wasting the court's energy, I came boldly to find a proper explanation to His Highness."

heard.

Fusu frowned even tighter.

He looked at Du He with a puzzled expression, then looked at De, Ji Ran and others, curled his lips and said: "Why can't I understand what the young master said? Since the young master wants me to ask for an explanation, I have to ask for an explanation." Do I know what happened first?"

"Go ahead."

"What rumors are spreading from the outside world?"

"How can I make you care so much and work so hard."

see.

There was a trace of uncertainty in Du He's eyes.

He probed: "Your Highness, do you really know nothing about the outside world?"

Fusu shook his head simply.

He sighed and said helplessly: "I rarely took over political affairs in the past, and even if I was involved, I mostly just watched. This time His Majesty is traveling far away, and I have shouldered some of the heavy responsibilities of the court. I am always frightened every day, lest I make mistakes in handling it." , because His Majesty is dissatisfied, how can he have the extra energy to pay attention to the outside world?"

"Just listening to what the young master said, this rumor seems to have a lot to do with me?"

Hearing Fusu's candid words, Du He and Ji Ran looked at each other with joy in their eyes. Fusu really didn't know?If this is the case, then the follow-up will be easier.Don't know at all,
And this is actually what they intended to do.

Fusu could see all the little moves made by Du He and others, but he just sneered in his heart and remained calm on his face.

aside.

A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of Yan Le's mouth.

He looked at the silent courtiers in front of him and sneered in his heart. These old ministers really knew how to perform. Didn't they come in such a hurry to see Fusu just to catch Fusu off guard?
Moreover, as soon as the news was announced, he was immediately asked to conduct an investigation. Wasn't it to block Fusu's follow-up disposal?
As soon as his reply arrived, these people immediately rushed to Fusu. He was as tired as an animal and had been on the road almost all day. He was the one who knew the whole process. He was so tired that he was dizzy. No matter how talented Fusu was, , we can get the news beforehand, but how much time do we have for Fusu to discuss countermeasures?

Again.

Even if Fusu could think of some countermeasures, how could Du He and others not think of a way to deal with this matter after they had been planning it for so long?
What we want this time is to put Fusu in a dilemma.

Although Yan Le was innocent in his heart, his face did not show any signs. He just watched quietly from the side. He also wanted to see how the eldest son, the prince of Great Qin, who used to be so aloof, could face this sudden turmoil. How to deal with it?

the other side.

Zhang Cang's eyes narrowed into slits.

The whole person seemed to be in a fugue, and he did not speak again during the whole process, standing quietly aside like a solid wooden pillar.

Du He pondered for a moment and did not take the initiative to speak. Instead, he looked around and finally landed on Yan Le. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth and ordered: "Yan Le, you are the Xianyang Order. It is you who should report this matter." Yes, you know the most about the relevant situation and the most detailed information, so it is up to you to inform His Highness of the matter."

heard.

Yan Le, who was waiting to watch the show, was stunned.

He never thought that this matter could come back to him?
But as Du He spoke, everyone else looked over, with a bit of hope, encouragement and threats in their eyes.

Yan Le looked ugly.

How could he not know what Du He was thinking?
It was obvious that he wanted to do this offending thing for himself.

He couldn't help but curse loudly in his heart, but in front of everyone, even though he was reluctant in every way, he could only step forward, but every time he took a step forward, he scolded Du He in his heart.

Really deceiving.

He had done enough for today.

As a result, these old guys didn't want to get involved in this offending thing, so they blamed it all on themselves. It's really unreasonable.

When he tells this news, he will definitely make Fusu dissatisfied. Once he is jealous of Fusu, these courtiers don't care. Fusu doesn't dare to do anything to them, but what about himself?

He was just a Xianyang Order, and he was completely incompetent in front of Fusu.

Yan Le's face turned red, and he had the desire to kill people in his heart. However, although he was extremely angry at the moment, he could only swallow the suffocation and said in a depressed voice: "Back to your highness, I do know something about this matter. But the time I actually knew about it was very short, so I can’t guarantee that what I said will be accurate.”

"Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"But it doesn't matter." Fusu said indifferently.

Yan Le nodded and said in a deep voice: "In the past few days, news suddenly came out in the city that the 'Mr. Zhong' that His Highness was close to in the past seemed to be a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, and he was also a spy placed by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms around His Highness. , this person deliberately got close to His Highness in the past, in order to create discord, with the intention of causing trouble to the Qin Dynasty and disrupting the Qin Dynasty." "I am a minister of the Qin Dynasty, and I have to eat the salary of Qin, so I should be loyal to Qin."

"When I heard this rumor, I was shocked. I didn't dare to be negligent and quickly sent people to investigate. However, the results of the investigation made me a little shocked."

"Then 'Mr. Zhong' is indeed not a 'Qin' person. At least there is no one with a household registration in Guanzhong who can match him."

"He is indeed from the six lands of Kanto!"

"I am shocked and doubtful."

"According to my subsequent investigation, this person has never served as a corvee or paid taxes. He is actually a 'dead man'."

"It's just that I'm still worried in my heart. After all, this person is on good terms with His Highness, so I don't dare to act rashly. I quickly reported the matter to the court to make a decision."

"in addition."

"There is also a rumor from the outside world."

"The reason why Your Highness has changed so much in the past two years is that this person has secretly helped a lot. This person is a remnant of the Six Kingdoms and is full of resentment towards Qin. Therefore, he has been deliberately instigating Your Highness to alienate guests from the Six Kingdoms, and wants to plunge Great Qin into The embarrassing situation like the 'Expulsion Order' back then, I just thought that with His Highness's resourcefulness, how could he not see this person's treacherous plan, and he would definitely not have such an intention."

"It's just that the rumors about His Highness alienating guests from the six places have spread to the outside world, and they seem to be true. Many households in the city believe it, and I am also worried. I sincerely ask Your Highness to clarify it to the world, so as to prevent the rumors from continuing. The rumors have slandered His Highness and damaged His Highness's reputation and prestige in the world."

"Your Highness, please enlighten me."

Done.

Yan Le bowed respectfully, not daring to look at the officials around him, and quickly retreated to the back.

It's just that I have long scolded these courtiers in my heart.

Should you do things yourself, or should you take the blame?

Is there any reason for this?

No one cared about Yan Le's frustration and anger.

Everyone was looking at Fusu at this moment, wondering how Fusu would react after hearing the news.

Just let them down.

Fusu's face was very calm, as if he had heard something ordinary.

He chuckled and said: "Mr. Zhong is a remnant of the Six Kingdoms? How come I don't know about this? And have I ever alienated guests?"

"This is complete nonsense."

"It's ridiculous!"

"Such ridiculous remarks can actually arouse heated discussions in the city, and even make you come to ask questions. I, Fusu, don't know what to say?"

"Do you really take these divisive words seriously?"

"The Qin Dynasty has not been stable these years. The remnants of the six kingdoms are still determined to restore the country. They have always wanted to bring trouble to the Qin Dynasty. They have also always wanted to tire out the Qin Dynasty, cause chaos in the Qin Dynasty, etc. The rumors circulating in the city this time are obviously divisive words. Why do you let everyone be like this? Are you interested?"

"Your reaction is a bit excessive."

"But those who gossip and gossip should be punished!"

Fusu's eyes were cold.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

It seems that he is very dissatisfied with the rumor situation in Xianyang in the past two years.

After hearing Fusu's words, Du He, Ji Ran and others looked at each other with a solemn look in their eyes.

Because Fusu's answer completely exceeded their expectations.

And very cool.

I didn’t want to just find out.

Thinking of this.

Du He suddenly looked at Zhang Cang standing aside.

It's just that Zhang Cang was still looking at his nose and heart at this time, as if he was wandering in a fugue, as if he didn't dare to listen to these secrets at all, and didn't show any expression at all.

By now.

How could Du He not react?
Fusu clearly knew about it in advance. He deliberately said he didn't know before and was waiting for them to speak. He was completely teasing them. They actually believed it and were so complacent.

Du He stared at Zhang Cang with cold eyes, and finally withdrew his gaze.

He has put away his contempt.

He also knew that Fusu had already thought of countermeasures, but he didn't believe it. How many countermeasures could Fusu and Zhang Cang come up with in such a short time?
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "What His Highness said is true."

"I also believe that the rumors outside the city are divisive words."

"His heart can be punished."

"It's just that there are no groundless rumors in the world, and for the people in the city to believe it so easily, there may be something worth pondering. After careful consideration, I was surprised to find that some of His Highness's past actions were indeed easily aroused. People have misunderstood that this is probably the reason why such rumors are spreading from the outside world."

"I know very well that Your Highness has grown a lot in the past two years."

"I am also deeply gratified by this."

"It's just that some of His Highness's behaviors can easily lead to misunderstandings, making people mistakenly think that His Highness is deliberately alienating me and other guests. I am also worried that there may be some misunderstanding between me and His Highness, so this time I boldly used the rumors to I came here because I also want to be honest with His Highness so that I can clear up the misunderstanding."

"Your Highness is the Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty, which is also the king."

"I am a minister of the Qin Dynasty."

"It is a taboo in the court for the monarch and his ministers to be in harmony with each other in appearance and spirit."

"I am devoted to Qin, and I really don't want to suffer such misunderstandings."

"Please give me a chance to express my feelings to Your Highness."

"Your Highness, please complete it."

With tears in his eyes, Du He saluted Fusu as if he had suffered an unjust injustice. Upon seeing this, other courtiers on the side quickly followed suit, hoping for a chance to reveal their true feelings.

Fusu looked deeply at Du He, knowing that he was retreating in order to advance, and he quickly raised his hand to lift Du He up.

He said in a deep voice: "You ministers have defeated Fusu."

"How can Fu Su be so virtuous as to be able to bear the worship of all ministers?"

"There must be some misunderstandings, or some of Fusu's actions have given rise to strange ideas among the ministers. Fusu apologizes to you, but Fusu does not have the slightest intention to alienate you, and he has no intention of doing so."

"Fusu has always understood a truth since he can remember."

"Those who want to govern China should take the principle of accepting China as its foundation."

"How dare Fusu deviate from his original intention?"

"Everyone please get up quickly."
