My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 692: Become King on the Spot
"The Crown Prince wants to negotiate peace with Baiyue?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

Wei Liao looked at Fusu, "Why did the prince suddenly think of this?"

"Isn't this what Master taught me? When going to war, the first thing is to get the consent of the people, and the second is to have someone who can convince the people to lead the soldiers. Only in this way can the war be auspicious, otherwise it will be disastrous for the country."

Wei Liao only felt his scalp slightly tingling.

"The Master said: If you teach one corner, but do not use the other three to explain it, then there is no point in teaching."

"The Master also said: First practice what he says, and then follow it."

"Confucius is the teacher of all people in the world, and I am your teacher. So Confucius is your teacher, and I am Confucius' disciple. Don't you think that what Confucius said is wrong?"

Wei Liao was slightly shocked by Fusu.

Oh, so you are this kind of Fusu.

"The logic is correct." Wei Liao stroked his beard, "But..."

"Since there is nothing wrong, why don't we try to get this done?" Fusu has decided to do so.

Driven by the desire for immortality, Ying Zheng discussed the way of cultivating immortality with doctors Lu Sheng, Hou Sheng and others, but was inspired by Chen Ping and began to pay attention to body maintenance.

However, in order to gain Ying Zheng's trust, Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng proposed to indulge in spiritual cultivation and exclude Chen Ping, resulting in Chen Ping being treated coldly.

A new storm has emerged. The empire is already in turmoil and the crisis has broken out in full swing.

At the same time, the Baiyue people, dissatisfied with the Qin army's invasion, planned to assassinate Qin Shihuang's son.

When Fusu was visited by the Baiyue people, he realized that the Baiyue people were actually well aware of the power gap between Qin and the Baiyue.

They very much hoped that Qin would cease fire, but surrender was not an option they would consider.

Fusu considered the long-term interests of the Qin Empire and thought it was a very foolish decision to waste Qin's regular ace army in the land of Baiyue. Xianyang was poorly guarded and the soldiers were too far away from the city.

Moreover, they are not recruited through volunteer service, but are forcibly conscripted by the state in order to complete their mission and survive in this chaotic world.

They did not come here voluntarily, and once they encounter too much pain, they will naturally feel resentment.

"The soldiers have been distracted by the heat and the abundance of the southern rainforest, and I heard that the people in the country are also living in great hardship."

"In that case, why don't you stop?"

Wei Liao looked at Fusu, and he suddenly realized something.

"Do you know what it means for you to mention these things to me now?"

"It's just to stop the war. I did the same thing when I attacked the State of Chu. Facts have proved that if you respect the other party's life, the other party will respect you as well."

What this kid says always makes so much sense that it's hard for me to refute it.

Where did he learn this stuff?

If I had known he was so good at talking, I would have let him lobby the princes. He went to such great lengths to train spies.

Wei Liao looked at Fusu and carefully picked up the dried sweet potato and chewed it...

"You know, I'm not good at speaking. But if someone has any intentions, no matter how thick the belly is, I can see it clearly."

Wei Liao said, pulling Fusu's clothes to let him come closer, "Boy, you are not thinking of rebelling against your father, are you?"

Fusu said nothing.

Wei Liao’s eyes widened; the dried watermelon in his mouth no longer tasted delicious.

You know, Fusu planned to make peace with the Baiyue people, but Ying Zheng would never agree.

This also means that Fusu will directly negotiate peace with the Baiyue people, the two sides will form an alliance, and the Qin army and the Baiyue army will jointly oppose Qin Shihuang...

This guy is really a political genius!
Liao's eyes suddenly lit up, and of course, his butt was already raised up, ready to leave at any time.

"Master, you are not planning to leave me alone to face all this, are you? I lost my mother at such a young age, and was abandoned by my father in this remote wilderness. Who knows, one day my father will issue an imperial decree to sentence me to death."

"The only one I can rely on is you, Master."

Wei Liao's eyes were full of disgust, and he pulled Fusu's hand away.

"Don't give me that." Wei Liao couldn't stand it anymore and he wanted to vomit.

How could there be someone in the world who is more shameless than me?

"You are trying to drag me down with you and make me bear the blame together with you."

Fusu said solemnly, "How can saving people from danger be considered a rebellion? Father will sooner or later understand my good intentions. I am trying to save his reputation and prestige in front of the people of the world."

Wei Liao twirled his beard. If it happened to someone else, they would probably be so scared that they would run back home and not dare to come out for several days, or they would pack up and run away overnight.

But he quickly calmed down and said, "It is a good move to borrow the power of Baiyue to strengthen my reputation and gain the support of the people."

"But how did you come up with this idea? Just because they gave you a few cows and tigers?"

Fusu: "They came here suddenly, which shows that they can no longer stand the confrontation with us. Of course, there is some shameful conspiracy behind it, but since Baiyue is seeking peace, why don't we go with the flow?"

"The Guangdong and Guangxi regions will now be governed by our Qin State. Let them occupy the Yunnan and Guizhou regions for now. I have seen that the Baiyue tribes, although they nominally respect nature, do not follow the principles of human ethics."

"Brothers and sisters can intermarry. In time, even if we don't get rid of them, they will decline on their own."

"Conquering them then will be considered a righteous act."

Wei Liao couldn't help but say, "The Crown Prince is really far-sighted. I think this matter should be decided like this. However, the Crown Prince is only the Crown Prince, how can he accomplish this? Should he just issue an order?"

"If the prince does this, it will cause an uproar in the court."

Fusu looked solemn: "I used to, but I probably won't now."

"Besides, Master, don't you think this is a great opportunity to test how much prestige I have accumulated among the soldiers over the years?"

"If I alone and the Baiyue soldiers directly promote this good thing, do I still need to worry about what the people in Xianyang think of me?"

Wei Liao was shocked.

Although he had already assisted a king, Fusu still flashed brilliantly in the night sky of his life like a meteor flashing across the night sky.

I have to say that becoming a king is really born.

Fusu’s ideas were the most practical. First, he now had an army in his hands; second, he had the vast lands of Guangdong and Guangxi under his feet; third, he had the Baiyue as his alliance.

In this way, he himself can become a local lord.

"It seems that I can no longer teach the prince anything."

"But Master is the Grand Commandant. Everyone in the world knows that you are a great talent and admires your name. If Master is willing to help me, this thing will definitely be accomplished."

Fusu was only a military supervisor in name, but Wei Liao was a real national commander.

However, although Wei Liao, the diplomat, was well versed in the principles of Yi and numerology, he was only a military strategist and not someone who actually enjoyed military power.

This is the superiority of the Qin system.

Wei Liao didn't expect that Fusu had already taken him into account in his plan. Fusu suddenly revealed his true identity, which made Wei Liao feel scared.

At this time, he realized that this person might not be someone he could assist forever.

Or in other words, the assistant he needed was not someone like himself.

Having suffered a loss at the hands of Qin Shi Huang, Wei Liao had learned his lesson this time and naturally he had to plan ahead.

Wei Liao left Yayuan and looked at the tiger in the cage.

He couldn't believe that Fusu had already taken him into account in such a dangerous situation.

The feeling of being schemed against should be very satisfying, and strategists like this kind of game. As long as they can survive, they will play to their death.

But when the person plotting against him is the emperor, the situation is different.

Liao felt that the relationship between himself and Fusu was vague, deep or shallow.

Wei Liao looked at the fat and mighty tiger in the cage, roaring loudly at him.

I couldn't help but sigh, "It's much more reliable to be with the tigers in the mountains than with you guys."

After convincing Liao, Fusu immediately invited Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiong, and with Liao's company, the four of them discussed this important matter together.

Ren Xiong was very excited, "So, I can go home! I can go home!" Ren Xiong missed his mother very much, but the reality always made him hesitate.

Ren Xiong almost hated Qin Shi Huang because he could not serve his biological mother who raised him.

After he saw Tu Wei being ordered to use the Baiyue people to kill the Chu soldiers, Ren Xiong began to realize that he was just a tool in Ying Zheng's mind.

The entire Baiyue War was probably just a means for Ying Zheng to consolidate his imperial power.

Ren Xiong shouted excitedly.

Zhao Tuo knew what the soldiers and the people were thinking, so Fusu would definitely succeed.

But he worries about the future.

"How will the prince deal with himself in the future? How will he face the comments of the people in the world?"

"I can't care about so many things." Fusu felt that he needed to throw away all those rules and regulations. Many of them were restricting him.

"I am the only one who knows what I have done. Others can discuss it, but discussion cannot change anything."

"I am still me, and things will still happen. If I cared so much about other people's opinions, then the attack on Baiyue would never have happened."

Ren Xiong looked at Zhao Tuo and said, "If it were you, I would announce the news directly to the soldiers. We will enthrone the prince as king. How do you think?"

Zhao Tuo was shocked. "How can this be possible?"

"Why not?" Ren Xiong asked back. He seemed to want to have a fight with the cowardly Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo looked at Fusu, then at the national captain who was drinking beside him, and then at Ren Xiong who seemed to want to hit him.

At that moment, many things became clear in my mind.

It turned out that the prince had the intention. No wonder Ren Xiong suddenly became so rebellious. He was just trying to follow the prince's wishes.

"Although the prince has made his own arrangements in Xianyang, we have not received any news to date. I am always worried about Xianyang. What the soldiers want is to go home."

Zhao Tuo's voice became weaker.

"You have a point."

"So I'm thinking, I should first try to negotiate with the Baiyue people. If they are willing to help me, things will go much more smoothly."

"What do you two generals think?"

Ren Xiong was overjoyed, "Your Highness, I agree. I firmly agree."

What else could Zhao Tuo say? "I second the motion."

Fusu looked at the two big guys. One wanted to be loyal to him but his ability was not good enough; the other was too capable but was worried about his old master in Xianyang.

Fusu took a sip of the wine. The more he drank, the better it tasted.

(In ancient times, wine was extremely beneficial to the body. No matter how much you drank, you wouldn’t get poisoned or anything. Of course, you could drink too much and get bloated.)
Now that it was time to really get down to work, several people felt a little melancholy.

After all, it’s the first time.

Fusu suddenly said, "Your family will be protected immediately. I will write a letter today and find a way to have your family escorted out of Xianyang."

Zhao Tuo actually jumped up excitedly.

"That's great."

Ren Xiao realized it later and slapped his neck with his big hand.

How come I didn't think of such an important thing? Zhao Tuo is really smart. I wonder why he is so sad all day long.

"Prince, if that's the case, then we can just follow you without any hesitation." What Ren Xiong is pursuing now is a shortcut - to follow the dragon.

Zhao Tuo was still very careful. He asked, "But what about the brothers' families? I think we should take action in Xianyang first, so that the brothers can respond."

Fusu smiled, "There's no rush for this."

He is the best agent for all interest groups. If they want to get things done, they have to either appoint him or kill him.

Anyway, he has to deal with it as the legitimate prince.

Ren Xiong: "What are you so anxious about?"

Wei Liao looked at Fusu meaningfully.

"I will issue a military order in the army, appointing Feng Jing, Guan Fu, and Lu Ze as captains."

The three of them looked at Fusu together, each of them was so surprised that they were speechless.

Fusu remained calm and composed.

He had expected their reaction.

"From today on, all the soldiers in the army must come to my tent to pay their respects."

"Wang Ao, the disciple of the national commander, used to enter and leave the palace as a staff member. Now the situation is special, I am afraid he can no longer do so in the past. He must also be appointed as a commander."

Zhao Tuo exclaimed: "Is the prince planning to start a rebellion directly?"

Fusu: "Wait today, wait tomorrow. Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are. I think it's time to say goodbye to the old world."

The three discussed the specific matters.

They began to mobilize the troops that day and reach a consensus internally.

These captains had some reservations at first, but when they heard that Fusu could prioritize the safety of their families, they were all moved by the benefits.

The Baiyue army reached a unified opinion - the two sides exchanged interests with each other.

Feng Jing and four others became captains, while Zhao Tuo and four other captains were responsible for managing Fusu's military and internal affairs as advisers from today on.

The soldiers were surprisingly obedient to Fusu's actions.

When they saw that Fusu's confidant had become a general, they all understood the situation, but they were surprisingly unanimous in not publicizing these matters.

The Guangdong and Guangxi areas thus became Fusu's possession.

However, Fusu knew that this was only temporary.

Soon, Guangdong and Guangxi will belong to the new garrison general.

This is the sadness of human limitations in this vast universe. Only what you can control is yours.

Only what you say is true. What others promise you does not count.

Fusu didn't have time to lament about these things. He would deal with the sadness of the passing of time when he was old.

Fusu hurriedly summoned the envoys again and expressed his thoughts to them.

When the envoys heard this, they were surprised and delighted. However, they felt that the matter was very serious and asked to send someone with greater power and ability to negotiate.

Fusu also agreed and soon let them go.

Feng Jing was a little nervous, "Prince, what if they leak the news?"

"Benefits are the key to success."

"This group of Baiyue people came quickly and left quickly. I always feel like something is wrong." Ren Xiao narrowed his eyes into slits.

The autumn air has begun to permeate the forests in the north, while the environment in Guangdong and Guangxi is still like midsummer.

Autumn has arrived, and the soldiers are carrying fruits back from the woods in baskets.

They had to hand over these things from the Baiyue people.

After all, the Baiyue people were also the original inhabitants of this place, and their gathering skills were much better than those of the Qin people.

However, the scorching sun always makes people feel uncomfortable.

In the evening, poison suddenly appeared in the camp, in the trenches, under the tables, next to the stove, in the armory, everywhere.

Snakes and insects rushed into the tent like crazy, as if there was something important inside that was attracting them.

Someone's butt got bitten...
