My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 248: What goes before and what works (please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Prince, they insulted the prince again in front of the city."

Wancheng's scouts reported one after another.However, Fusu remained unmoved as if he had never heard of it.

He was sitting in the post house.Every day I watched Princess Jin Shu growing flowers and plants in the garden.

Seeing that the prince didn't care about their report at all, they had no choice but to look down at the ground and wonder if they had said something wrong.

Seeing that the prince had no reaction to these words, he thought that his voice was too soft.

So the scout added, "Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, sent people in front of the city to say that the prince is a coward and incompetent person. He only dares to talk nonsense in Xianyang Palace but does not dare to come out to fight. This is really embarrassing the world. People are generous and laughable."

Fusu slowly raised his eyes, looked at the scout, and said leisurely, "I heard it."

Jin Shu squatted on the ground, feeling helpless at the two rabbits that were nervous and trembling when they saw a stranger.

Ever since she learned certain knowledge, she no longer dared to look directly at the two rabbits.

Fusu was lying on the mat, his face covered with a long bamboo slip, and next to him was a brazier.

Although he was wearing single clothes, he was covered with a thick fur blanket.

Like a lazy fat cat, he doesn't want to care about anything and doesn't want to ask anything.

The scout looked at the prince and felt that the prince was not what the rumors said. He had a violent temper and would kill someone if he disagreed with him.

Although the prince was well-known in the country and loved by the people of Qin, it was not because he had done so many outstanding tasks of writing reform and unification.Instead, it was because of something that was criticized by people all over the world - when he was ten years old, he killed the prince of Yan State with a sword, but the King of Yan did not dare to denounce him.

This incident made the people of Qin very prestigious in front of the six kingdoms, and even the generals in the army respected the prince because of this incident.

In the court, a person's bravery is often criticized as immature, simple and reckless.

But in the army, courage is the most commendable thing for soldiers.

This scout hesitated again and again.

He consulted the prince and asked: "Prince, why are you indifferent to what Xiang Yan's people said? In your opinion, his words are not enough to make the prince angry?"

"Xiang Yan has very sinister intentions. He just wants to use this opportunity to spread rumors in front of the city to shake the morale of our military and spread the prince's bad reputation in the world."

Fusu slowly took away the bamboo slips from his face, "Then if I, the prince, are not in a hurry, why do you scouts report so frequently? Could it be that you are all excited and angry because you heard him yelling at me, so you want to Can’t you avenge this prince?”

The scout's face turned red at this time. He straightened his back and said to Fusu, "Prince, the reason why we reported this is to obey your orders and protect your reputation. We can't tolerate it, our Prince. To be so humiliated by the generals of other countries."

Guan Fu looked at the prince who was so calm and composed, and couldn't help but rush forward.

He said to the visitor, "Don't you know that Confucius once said a famous saying, which was praised by the whole world without admonition, and criticized by the whole world without discouragement? It was determined by the distinction between internal and external, and the distinction between honor and disgrace. That's it. "

"If the world praises a person, he will not work harder because of it; if the world slanders and blames this person, he will not become more depressed because of it. In the minds of such people, they have already transcended the realm of honor and disgrace. "

These words were said casually when Meng Tian and Fu Su were chatting a few days ago.The two of them could talk about a lot of articles in books casually, and used the articles to explain to each other and discuss issues. They appeared to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, which attracted the admiration of everyone present.

Wen Zouzou had a lot to say, and Guanfu could only write down a few on the spot. Then he would ask questions in letters from time to time, and finally recited it to the point where he could blurt it out.

Guan Fu believed that telling these things would make the people below him look at him with admiration.

"And our Crown Prince is exactly such a person. No matter what people outside the city say, the Crown Prince can sit in Xinzheng City with peace of mind and command Ruoding."

The scout originally didn't know how to report to the general when he returned, but after hearing Guan Fu's words, he suddenly felt enlightened. His eyes were bright and he bowed to Guan Fu.

"I thank the general for his advice. Guan Fu looked around proudly. Sure enough, the eunuchs, ministers, officers and guards around him all admired him, with admiration showing in their eyes.

Fusu was already drowsy, but when he heard this, he immediately looked at Guan Fu who was standing in the hall.

He was so frightened that his personal bodyguard seemed to have been tricked by a soul...

Guan Fu was even more proud. He straightened his waist and told the scout, "When you get back, just tell your general to guard the city gate with peace of mind. Don't pay attention to the Chu people outside the city. They are already at the end of their war effort."

"If they really dare to attack Wancheng, Grandpa, I will be the first to rush forward and beat these Chu people to pieces." The scout's eyes were full of gratitude when he heard this, and he asked for advice, "You villain, why don't you do it?" Didn’t you ask for the general’s name?”

"You ask me? Should I change my name or my surname? I am the prince's bodyguard. Remember my name. My name is Guan Fu."

After the scout heard this, the bright color in his eyes immediately disappeared.He thought to himself, I originally thought this person must be General Meng Tian or General Li Xin, but I didn't expect him to be such a little-known general.

Jin Shu on the side also laughed behind the screen.

"Not to mention anything else, just say that this sentence is praised by the world without admonishing it, and the two sentences that are criticized by the world without mentioning it are from Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou", which is not what Confucius said."

Guan Fu was surprised, "What, it wasn't Confucius who said it?"

"Do you think that all the books in the world were written by Confucius?"

Guan Fu asked, "Isn't it all written by him?"

Seeing the scholar who wanted to laugh but was holding back, Guan Fu understood something.

He was immediately ashamed. Standing indoors, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

While talking, a girl wearing bright red clothes poked her head out from behind the screen.

This face looks like it was carved out of jade. The skin is smooth and white, but the eyes are bright and lovely.

"The prince is not forgetful of honor and disgrace, but this is clearly the plan of General Xiang Yan of Chu State. The prince just doesn't want to be fooled by him."

This was the first time for the scout to see such a beautiful woman.

First, his eyes were drawn towards him, and then he realized that this person was the prince's concubine, and immediately lowered his head in fear.

Fusu looked at Jin Shu who ran out, his face full of displeasure.

Fusu then sat up, and the tiger skin blanket slipped off his body, revealing his strong figure. "Just go back and report."

"Wei." The scout took the order, but when he left, he fell at the threshold.He only looked back at the girl in the room who was wearing bright red clothes and a white cord around her waist.

After returning, the scout remembered nothing else.I only remember that one look from the prince made everyone remain silent.

The other thing is what Guan Fu said, "You can praise someone in the world without persuading them, and you can criticize someone in the world without discouraging them."

The scout went back and reported to his general in these words.

From then on, this sentence became his general's mantra.

"Pass this on and let the soldiers use these words to respond to the Chu army."

------------

Closer to home.

After the scout left, Fusu immediately put on his clothes and left the post house without looking back.

Jin Shu originally thought that Fusu would play with her after the scout left, but he left without saying a word to her.

Jin Shu sat dejectedly on the table and watched Fu Su's back fading away. She didn't know what she said wrongly, which suddenly made the prince angry.

After leaving the room, a group of prince's officials formed a long queue to follow Fusu.

Xin suggested, "Prince, this Xiang Yan, he is so good at using psychological tricks. Even if the prince is unmoved in Xinzheng City, the soldiers in Wancheng may need to be comforted."

"It is said that three people make a tiger. Once rumors arise in the army, it may have unimaginable consequences."

Fusu, who was walking forward quickly, suddenly stopped and was so frightened that all the attendants behind him trembled.
