My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 724: Read His Bold Words to Me Again
However, no one knew that Fusu secretly promoted Lu Ze.

However, the incident of Xiahou Ying caused a lot of controversy. Zhang Han had anticipated this, but when it really happened, he himself was also very confused.

After consulting some advisers in the palace, Zhang Han was told that the best thing for him now was to protect himself and quickly show his loyalty to the emperor.

Alas, the world is full of human relationships and worldly wisdom, there is no fighting and killing.

Two days later, Zhang Han went to the palace in person to ask for an audience with Qin II.

Chen Ping, who was extremely anxious, never expected that the emperor who issued the task to him was obviously asking him to offend someone, but the person who helped him solve the difficulty turned out to be the one he was about to offend.

As soon as Zhang Han arrived at Zhangtai Palace, he presented Fusu with his treasured blood jade stone, and personally showed Fusu the carved blood jade ring decoration.

"This is a private property of my family. Our ancestors found this stone while digging under a Ganoderma lucidum while collecting herbs in the mountains. My parents gave each of us three brothers a stone to carve, symbolizing that brothers are united in heart and can cut through metal with their sharpness."

"This blood jade is bright red like blood, symbolizing the human heart."

"Today I present the treasure of my family to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can win the respect of your subjects and the hearts of all the ministers."

Fusu clapped his hands and laughed, "Good, good, good."

Chen Ping, who was standing on one side, had countless thoughts circling in his mind.

At this moment, he suddenly understood what he should do.

In fact, he was right. The emperor wanted him to offend Zhang Han and always stand firmly on his side.

Because to the emperor, Zhang Han was not so trustworthy.

It turned out that Zhang Han reacted so quickly and swiftly that Chen Ping's problem was solved.

It is true that the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it, and it is effortless to get it.

Zhang Han then boasted to Fusu, saying how loyal he was to him, how much his two younger brothers and his son admired Fusu, and how their entire family wanted to serve and be loyal to Fusu forever.

Some of the words are even too corny.

Fusu smiled knowingly and said to him, "I know. I have always known what your clan means."

When Zhang Han heard this, he always felt that there was another meaning.

"I will accept these blood jades today."

"To be honest, if it weren't for you and Li Si, I wouldn't be sitting on this throne today. I had no choice but to ask Li Si to leave because he advocated the county system and offended my ministers."

"I still feel sorry for him."

Zhang Han listened and complained in his heart, I don’t believe you at all.

"Now you are the only one left as my right-hand man. My safety is in your hands."

When Zhang Han heard this, his hands twitched slightly and he broke out in sweat.

"In the past, Duke Wen of Jin and Duke Mu of Qin jointly besieged the State of Zheng because the State of Zheng had been disrespectful to Duke Wen and was also dependent on both the State of Chu and the State of Jin."

"Yi Zhihu then asked Duke Zheng to send Zhu Zhiwu to meet the Duke of Qin."

"Later, Zhu Zhiwu really drove back the Qin army at night, and the Jin official Zifan asked Zhu Zhiwu to send troops to attack the Qin army."

Duke Wen of Jin said, "No. Without your help, we would not have been able to do this. To use the power of others and then use it is unkind; to lose what is given is ignorant; to replace order with disorder is unwarlike. I will return."

"Duke Wen of Jin had received favors from my former king of Qin, so when my former king of Qin broke the covenant and left, he chose to forgive me."

"Duke Wen of Jin is a man who knows how to repay kindness. He is not a heartless and ungrateful person. I admire Duke Wen of Jin very much."

"If it weren't for that person's power, I wouldn't have reached this point."

"It is unrighteous to rely on the power of others and then harm them in return."

"It is unwise to lose one's allies."

"To replace order with disorder is not in line with the ethics of martial arts."

"The Qin army retreated, and the Jin army left Zheng."

"This is what I want to tell you, do you understand?"

Fusu's voice floated into Zhang Han's ears word by word, and every word had a deafening effect.

Only Zhang Han could understand the meaning of these words.

Zhang Han felt ashamed of this and said, "I know my crime."

"Just back off."

"only."

Zhang Han blushed and left the hall respectfully.

Fusu sat in the seat of honor. Chen Ping could not help but praise Fusu, "Your Majesty is full of witty remarks. You used the incident of Zhu Zhiwu's retreat of the Qin army to let Zhang Han know that you knew he had betrayed you, and you used Duke Wen of Jin's way of dealing with people to tell him that you actually did not intend to pursue his past betrayal."

"This not only demonstrates your wisdom and generosity, but also enables the Shaofu to deeply realize his mistakes and serves as a reminder to him. Thirdly, you have dispelled the Shaofu's suspicion and he continues to be loyal to you."

“It’s like killing three birds with one stone.”

Shao Ping was not very happy about it. This was what he originally wanted to say, but now Chen Ping had snatched it away.

What a bootlicker.

I wouldn't believe it if you two didn't have that kind of relationship!
But Fusu just smiled bitterly.

He looked at the historians over there. Sima Wuyi was quickly making records and summarizing them.

Sima Wuyi concluded today's conversation by saying:
[Alas, the difference in wisdom between people is revealed in this same matter.]

However, Fusu looked at Sima Wuyi for another reason. The reason for his bitter smile was the historian. Fusu raised his head and closed his eyes and said, "Read to me again the heroic words that Zhang Han said to the emperor."

The historians looked at each other in bewilderment, and they quickly looked up the record of the conversation between the Shaofu and Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng.

Shi Guanlu stood up and said with a blank expression like a log:

"At that time, Shaofu was once a general, and was appointed by Ying Zheng to oversee the construction of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum."

"Your Majesty said: I know you have always been respectful and loyal to me. I will leave this important task to you."

Fusu still closed his eyes, "Read the key points, just read his heroic words."

"Zhang Han, despite his humble status, is able to serve Your Majesty. This is truly a blessing from our ancestors and the gods."

"I have been given this mission today. From now on, my whole clan will serve you like slaves and work like beasts to repay your majesty."

"As long as your majesty is alive, my whole clan will do whatever it takes for you, even if it means risking our lives."

"Your Majesty is truly the descendant of the ancient dragon, with unparalleled grace and power, and all the subjects in the world obey him. I wish your Majesty a long life. As long as Zhang Han lives in this world, I will always be loyal to your Majesty and to the Qin Dynasty."

"If you violate this oath, you will be expelled to foreign lands and will never be allowed to return to China. You will die in disgrace."

"..."

These are the oaths that Zhang Han said to Ying Zheng in different scenarios, and every word of them made Ying Zheng very happy.

Listening to this death-like memoir, all the ministers felt very embarrassed. They really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out.

Shao Ping also heard his eyes widen like the copper bells on the carriage.

Everyone looked unhappy.

Only after the historian finished reading did Fusu open his eyes.

"I'm very curious, how will he pledge his allegiance next?"

"Chen Ping, have you found the person you asked me to look for?"

Chen Ping quickly took out the silk book list he had prepared and said, "Your Majesty, please choose."

Fusu looked at Chen Ping in surprise. How could he be like this? He actually asked me to choose.

When Fusu opened the silk book, he saw several names written on it, and he began to feel troubled.

"Which one to choose?"

"I don't know." Beads of sweat the size of beans also seeped out of Chen Ping's forehead.

Every name on the silk book made Fusu feel mysterious.

As the saying goes, if one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper. This is indeed true.

[Ji Xin——Ji Bu’s younger brother]

Ji Xin's brother Ji Bu was a famous talker in Xianyang.

Logically speaking, Ji Bu was originally a gangster, but since he met the noble Fusu, he began to rise rapidly and used his wisdom to help more people.

Ji Bu's younger brother, Ji Xin, is also very powerful.

The evaluation given by the Records of the Grand Historian is [His spirit covered the whole of Guanzhong, he treated people with respect and was chivalrous, and he was thousands of miles away, and all the scholars were willing to die for him.]

"Like his brother, Ji Xin's reputation is very great, but he is very respectful and serious when meeting people, and never speaks arrogantly to offend others. After becoming a knight, people and warriors within a thousand miles are eager to die for him."

"Because Ji Xin is very brave, young men in the martial arts world often secretly use his name to travel the world."

"For example, in the developing areas of Guangdong and Guangxi, a restaurant that can only accommodate 50 people may register six people named Ji Xin in one day."

Chen Ping introduced these people to Fusu one by one.

Fusu was naturally delighted, "Good, very good."

"The Emperor once praised the Meng brothers as the representatives of Qin's loyalty and bravery. Now I also have such a pair of good brothers in my hands."

Chen Ping was also happy, "The empire is full of talented people, which is really a blessing for the country."

Shao Ping opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again. He looked at Chen Ping coldly.

Next came Zhou Bo.

"Zhou Bo was recommended by Liu Ji to be a palace attendant."

After Liu Ji became a high-ranking official, he never wasted the power in his hands. The historical system of recommendation in the Han Dynasty actually originated in the Qin Dynasty.

The Qin State had a complete and fairly developed system for recommending officials.

Liu Ji wrote letters to his good brothers every day, and even spanked the messengers for being slow in delivering the letters, just like the father of the messengers. Of course, this was very Liu Ji.

After persuading his brothers to settle in Xianyang and even Guanzhong, Liu Ji immediately recommended official positions to them.

Think about Liu Ji's ability. He can make friends with everyone wherever he goes. Also, because he is handsome and knows how to use Fusu's reputation, officials are eager to register and recruit the people he recommends.

Do you think that when Liu Ji arrived in Xianyang, only his good brothers in Pei County invited him to drink during the New Year?

No, most of the people in Qin are honest and manly men. They like this handsome man with a knight-errant demeanor very much.

Liu Ji was invited to drink every day.

As a result, his brothers came to the central institutions of Daqin one after another.

When Fusu saw Zhou Bo's name, he was actually already sighing that Liu Ji's ability was beyond ordinary people.

He is worthy of being Emperor Gaozu of Han!
