Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 160 The Covenant of Gentlemen
Fusu knocked on the door, waited for a while, a child opened the door, saw that it was the fortune-teller today, said: "My dear guest, why are you here?"

Seeing the boy Chuitiao in front of him who was born intelligent, Fu Su smiled and said, "I'm here to bring fish to you."

"This..." The child hesitated a little.

At this time, Sima Jizhu's voice came from inside the house, "Tong'er, let the distinguished guests come in."

Fusu walked in with the wooden tray in his hand, and put the fish in front of Master Sima Ji.Fusu knelt down in front of Master Sima Ji and bowed.

"It's a great honor to have the young master of Daqin come to deliver the fish for me!" Sima Ji said, glancing at the carp in the dish.

Seeing Sima Ji revealing his identity, Fu Su smiled and said, "In front of Mr., Fu Su is a late student."

"Young Master, I'm sure he didn't come here for the simple purpose of giving fish, so please make it clear."

Seeing this, Fusu no longer twitched, and cut straight to the point: "Fusu saw Mr.'s appearance and heard Mr.'s words, and privately thought that in today's world, there is no such a holy and sage as Mr. Why does Mr. want to be in the business of divination and do such a thing?" act?"

Hearing this, Master Sima Ji laughed, and said: "Looking at the young master's appearance, he is also a virtuous person. Why do you say such vulgar words?"

"The divination is despised by the world, and the world thinks that the divination exaggerates more to win favors, exaggerates people's fortunes and lives to please people, speaks calamities well to hurt people's hearts, pretends to be ghosts and gods to make people's wealth, and begs for thanks for selfishness. Has."

"Fusu thinks, why don't you take an official position, sir, to seek the well-being of all the people in the world?"

Sima Ji said: "Young master, this statement is absurd. Respecting officials and rich salaries is admired by the world, and everyone in the world regards them as virtuous. Why is your opinion the same as that of ordinary people?"

"The bustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the temples and camps are all for fame. Today, the princes of the court are all for fame and profit. How dare you call them virtuous?"

Sima Jizhu continued: "Why do you think you are a virtuous person? If you are honest and admonishing people, you don't expect their rewards, and wicked people don't care about their grievances, so that the country can benefit the public. I don't accept it."

Hearing this, Fusu felt more deeply how serious the moral cleanliness of the person in front of him was. In his opinion, there was no gentleman in the imperial court, and they were all a bunch of scumbags who lived for fame and fortune.

Fusu knew that he could not let Master Sima Ji continue talking, otherwise, he would become the second Jia Yi, so Fusu bowed and said: "Mr. misunderstood Fusu."

"Fusu believes that when a sage lives in a high temple, he worries about his people; when he is far away in the rivers and lakes, he worries about his ruler. Wen can stabilize the country, and martial arts can stabilize the country. He pleads for the lives of all people and seeks the well-being of the common people in the world. According to Fusu It seems that Mi Yuan, the former senior official of Chu Sanlu, should be listed here. Now that Mr. Fusu is invited to become an official, he is indeed a man of all people in the world."

"Fusu would like to ask Mr. to re-establish the calendar for the people of the world, to correct errors, and to benefit the common people."

Fu Su said this without blushing, and since he knew that Sima Ji had a high moral obsession, Fu Su naturally had a way to deal with it.

When dealing with this kind of person, don't talk about fame and fortune. Talking about these things will only make them disgusted, and if you borrow the name of the people in the world, the effect will be unexpected.

Sima Jizhu's eyes were astonished, and he remembered the words that Fusu wrote on the cloth during the day: "The great achievements of the Qin Dynasty will ensure the peace of the eternal world."

As for the purpose of Fusu's visit today, Master Sima Ji probably guessed it, but what Fusu said was indeed in line with what he thought in his heart, but can it really be done?
Establishing a calendar for the people of the world is indeed an act of benefiting the common people, but for him, it is not the right time.Looking at the young man in front of him, his ambition and broad-mindedness are not necessarily inferior to those of his father.

"My lord, do you know that all the people in the world regard the people of Qin as tigers and wolves, and view Qin as a tyrant?"

Fusu chuckled, knowing that this was Master Sima Ji's last hesitation, and said, "Sir, how do you know that Tyranny Qin will not become a kingdom of kings in my hands?"

Master Sima Ji raised his head and looked straight at Fusu, and Fusu looked at Master Sima Ji with his eyes for a long time. Master Sima Ji bowed and said, "I would like to obey your order."

Hearing this sentence, Fusu breathed a sigh of relief. This is the gentleman's agreement between him and Sima Jizhu. A peaceful and prosperous world for the people.

"Since the master has promised, Fu Su will tell the emperor himself, and he will not disturb the master to enjoy the delicious food of the river."

Seeing Fusu leave, Sima Ji pondered for a long time, not knowing whether his decision tonight was right or wrong, he picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth...

…………

Two days later, Fusu stood on the ferry of Caoyangting, and saw huge ships going up the river, and finally docking at the pier one by one.

The river bank is full of flags, fluttering in the strong wind, drums and music are contending, and chime bells are ringing together.Fu Su asked beside him: "Yu, is everything ready?"

Li You immediately bowed and said: "Young Master, everything is ready. The 3000 soldiers from Hedong County have lined up, and the band officials and people who welcome the first emperor have been arranged. We just need to wait for His Majesty to cross the river..."

Fusu nodded. Since receiving the paperwork from Ying Zheng, Fusu immediately ordered Li You and Bai Cang to handle these matters personally. From now on, it seems that the completion is very good...

On the other side of the Yellow River, Ying Zheng slowly boarded the building boat, stood on the bow, looked at the huge ship under his feet, and Ying Zheng was very satisfied.

Only such a giant warship can show his majesty and be worthy of his great achievements.

"Zhang Han, you did a great job!" Ying Zheng said casually, "Give me a hundred gold."

Since appointing Zhang Han as the commander of the Shaofu, Ying Zheng feels that the Shaofu is much better than before. Zhang Han's shrewdness makes Yingzheng very relieved to hand over the Shaofu to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han, who was serving behind him, quickly thanked him: "I dare not be a minister."

However, the words were also full of pride. In the whole world, besides Shaofu, who else could build such a giant ship?Who else can gather so many master craftsmen to build a huge and advanced fleet?

Fusu looked at the other bank of the river, saw the building boat on the other bank move and float towards him, his heart was filled with unparalleled expectations and yearning...

From Fusu's point of view, those majestic buildings appearing on the wide river at this time are like floating islands, floating towards Fusu like an archipelago.

It makes people feel a little awe and admiration from the bottom of their hearts. No wonder Liu Bang sighed when he saw the first emperor's car driving: "A man should be like this." Know the value of the First Emperor."
