The Great Qin Empire

Fusu who was drowsy on the couch heard the report from the guards that General Meng Tian had arrived outside the tent, his heart skipped a beat, and he came out three steps at a time.For a long time, Fusu has always admired this General Meng Tian, ​​who is also a teacher and a friend, who has made great military exploits for the empire.

At this moment, Fusu saw the anxious expression on Meng Tian's face, he was very puzzled, he bowed his hands and said: "Fusu didn't know that the general came to visit, so I'm sorry to welcome him from a distance. I just don't know why the general is so anxious? Have the Xiongnu invaded again? "

"That's not true. It's just that the old minister has a family letter and wants to ask the eldest son to read it." Meng Tian entered the tent while talking, and spread out a piece of parchment before coming to the case.

"The general's family letter, why do you want me to read it?" Fusu, who was following behind, took a look and raised his head in confusion.

"Young master, let's read it again. Is there such a family letter in the world?"

Fusu rubbed his eyes, read it carefully and shook his head: "I don't see anything."

"My lord, cheer up and listen to what the old minister has to say!" Meng Tian's face was stern, obviously a little anxious.

"General, please tell me." After all, Fu Su has always respected Meng Tian, ​​so hearing this is another salute.

"Young master, tell me, Meng Yi can be regarded as a minister of public loyalty?"

"What did the general say! Is there any need for me to say this?"

"Okay! With Meng Yi's temperament, you can suddenly send such a secret letter. What is the meaning, young master? According to the old minister, there are at least two possibilities: one, His Majesty has a new judgment on the court situation; Second, His Majesty still has high hopes for the young master and the veteran! Otherwise, it is impossible for the majesty to send Meng Yi back to Guanzhong alone, and Meng Yi will definitely not inform the young master and the old minister of the news with a secret letter, let alone remind the young master and the old minister Pay attention at all times. Veteran’s opinion: Your Majesty will return to the west, and you will come to Jiuyuan.

"Father came to Jiuyuan? Why did the general make such a decision?" Fusu suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

"Young Master, if you were this time last year, how could you not see something strange about this book! Now that you are so depressed, of course you can't see anything unusual." Meng Tian shook the parchment, and his tone became serious.

"Before this big hunting tour, the young master has already seen His Majesty's severe illness. That is to say, His Majesty's big hunting tour was originally on the road with an illness, and he may get sick at any time, or even be in danger of an accident. Meng Yi, as the superior You are also the leader of Lang Zhongling, the most important central minister of His Majesty's patrol administration, how can he return to the country? There is only one possibility, that is, he has served His Majesty's secret mission! He also prayed to the mountains and rivers, but it was only in the name of the outside world. However, With such a name, it means a clear fact: His Majesty must have fallen ill halfway, and the illness was not serious. Otherwise, with His Majesty's strength and tenacity, he would never send Meng Yi back to Xianyang to make arrangements. Meng Yi's book said , the overall situation of the country is in order, Li Xin led the troops to the east. This clearly means that Meng Yi has been ordered to arrange state affairs, and was ordered to send Li Xin back to the town of Guanzhong! His Majesty's handling of this must be because His Majesty is worried that the foundation of Guanzhong is unstable! Your Majesty has already noticed There is a dangerous situation that may strike at any time! Young Master, what is this dangerous situation? The old minister has repeatedly thought, there will be no him, there is only one thing: His Majesty feels that his illness is beyond control... Otherwise, with His majesty's strength and clarity, How many times have you thought about how to deal with the aftermath? Your Majesty's move means that the court situation may change at any time. My son, I can't wait for the chaotic time!"

"Father is sick and beyond support..." Fusu's eye circles suddenly turned red.

"As a prince, family affairs and state affairs are one."

"No. Father is brave and powerful, he will be fine, he will be fine." Fusu muttered in confusion.

"My lord, state affairs come first!" Meng Tian suddenly became serious.

"What's the general's intention?" Fusu seemed to have come to his senses.

"My old minister's wishes, the young master should go to the emperor's hunting camp in person, and serve His Majesty without leaving an inch."

"I can't! When I left Xianyang, my father clearly said that I can't go back to Xianyang unless I obey the edict. This is my father's stern words. How can I help Su be a rebellious courtier? Besides, beside my father, there is my young brother Hu Hai , It cannot be said that there is no one to serve me. If I rushed to the emperor's camp suddenly, wouldn't I just annoy my father and aggravate my father's censure again?" Fusu shook his head in a panic and said stubbornly.

"My lord is so pedantic!" Meng Tian was angry with Fu Su for the first time, patting the desk and said, "At this moment, your lord doesn't care about the country's big plans, and only cares about minor details, so what is the spirit of trusting people and striving for success! Besides, although your Majesty's disposition is strong and his laws are strict, your Majesty is still a human being after all, so how can you not have the affection of a human being? Now your Majesty is running around and is sick in the way. If you can go to the emperor's camp with a filial heart willing to risk punishment, Your Majesty How can you really care about the words of the day? The old minister and His Majesty have acquainted with each other as young people, and they know His Majesty's nature of strictness on the outside and lenient on the inside. Otherwise, with the strictness of His Majesty's laws, how can you punish the son and entrust him with the heavy responsibility of supervising the army? My son, your majesty will send 30 yuan. The main reason why the army is entrusted to you is that His Majesty still believes that the young master is an upright talent. If the young master is too rigid, it will not be a great disappointment to His Majesty's painstaking efforts to temper the young master for decades..."

"You don't need to talk about it, General, let me think again, think again." After all, Fu Su couldn't agree with Meng Tian's statement.

"My lord, at this critical juncture, you are still so hesitant, how can you take on the heavy responsibility of the empire! Don't you know that you should continue to be disturbed by it?" Meng Tian persuaded again with a heartbroken heart.

After Fusu heard Meng Tian's words, he was silent for a long time.In his heart, he had to admit that Meng Tian's analysis was comprehensive and very clear.But Fusu had an inexplicable deep fear of going to meet the emperor.The last time Fusu was in Xianyang stubbornly opposed to burning books and burying Confucianism, he had witnessed his father's furious anger and continuous vomiting of blood. If it wasn't for the alchemist Xu Fu who urgently offered elixir for treatment, it was hard for him to imagine the consequences.Although the first emperor did not punish Fusu severely afterwards, he drove Fusu out of Xianyang and took the post of supervisor in Jiuyuan.However, Fusu believed that his father's illness was aggravated by his own willfulness. This kind of thinking made Fusu feel deeply guilty and couldn't extricate himself. Therefore, he dared not disobey the first emperor again even if it was just a little bit. will.

"General, the state owns the law of the state. It's not our duty to presumptuously speculate on the superior's intentions. Fusu will never forget the Duke Meng's favor, but the emperor's camp, but Fusu can't go..." After a long, long time, Fu Su said sadly.

"You, you...Young Master, if you don't accept your faithful advice, it will be too late for you to regret it until the misfortune arises!" Unexpectedly, Meng Tian burst into tears.

"The succession of the imperial power is determined by His Majesty the Emperor. Even if Fusu doesn't become the second emperor, what's the trouble? The general should worry too much." Fusu looked at a loss again.

Seeing what Fusu said, Meng Tian felt a "boom" in his heart, and the belief that had been supporting him suddenly collapsed.It never occurred to him that the energetic, intelligent and keen Fusu had disappeared completely in just two years, and the present Fusu was nothing more than a politically handicapped person.

Meng Tian was completely speechless, he glanced at Fusu with tears in his eyes, left Fusu's place in a dispirited manner, and walked back staggeringly.
