Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 376, Who to choose as your godson? (Please vote for me!!!)

After Fusu stabilized Zhao Ji and Queen Zheng, the ministers who still had objections settled the matter under Ying Zheng's tough attitude.

In Ziyou's Wangshi Mansion.

Fusu looked at the young master Ziyou sitting opposite him with some restraint. Although Ziyou was named young master, in fact he himself had been away for many years and had not had much time to teach Fusu. Lu Buwei, the master, was responsible for this. In charge of all educational matters in Fusu.

Although Ziyou had never taught Fusu, Fusu had long admired Ziyou, the young master, whether it was from the comments about Ziyou he heard from Lu Buwei, or from the waiters or market storytellers around him. The deeds of Ziyou he read made Fusu admire Ziyou endlessly, and his admiration became even more intense after he came into contact with "Xing Lun".

Seeing that Fusu was a little restrained, Ziyou smiled and said
"Come and try this fish cake. It is a special delicacy of the Chu State and is rarely seen in the Qin State."

Fusu looked at the white and tender pastries in the box, which were as tender as small fishes, and carefully picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.In the mouth of the fish cake, the sweet and tender taste exploded between the lips and teeth. Fusu's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and the original restraint was instantly replaced by the sweetness brought by this piece of cake.

Seeing the surprised look on Fusu's face, Ziyou opened his mouth to explain.
"This fish cake is the first cake of the Chu State's palace banquet. It is steamed from the freshest river fish and lotus seed powder in the Chu State's rivers. It is extremely rare in the Qin State."

"It's winter now. These lotus seeds are only available in summer. This plate of cakes is really rare." Fusu also said with some surprise. Although he is the prince of Qin, this is the first time he has tasted this fish cake. to, let alone in winter.

Ziyou just smiled and said nothing. This plate of cakes was sent by the Yin and Yang family. To be precise, it was sent by Emperor E, in order to repay his kindness for letting Six Swordsmen rescue them. According to legend, this fish cake was It was made by Emperor E for Nüying to eat, and it is considered the most authentic fish cake.

"Try the second piece." Ziyou said with a smile.

Fusu didn't think too much. He raised his hand and picked up the second piece and put it in his mouth. But the moment he bit into the fish cake, Fusu's face changed. Instead of the sweetness just now, there was a bitter taste in his mouth. Fusu He was about to spit out the fish cake, but Zi Yu was ahead and he couldn't do such a rude thing, so he had to bite the bullet and swallow the fish cake in his mouth.

Seeing Fusu's twisted little face, the smile on Ziyou's face became even stronger.

"This second fish cake is not made from lotus seed powder, but from yellow lotus seeds."

Fusu looked at Ziyou in confusion, and immediately understood why Ziyou said this. Holding back the bitterness in his mouth, Fusu said

"Young Master is telling me that the first piece of fish cake is my life in Xianyang, which is sweet and carefree, and the second piece of fish cake is my upcoming trip to Yuyang County. It also means that my future will be full of bitterness and joy. Is it difficult?”

Looking at the thoughtful Fusu, Ziyou raised his eyebrows. Fusu felt a little happy when he saw Ziyou like this. He felt that he fully understood the meaning of Ziyou, and he forcibly swallowed the yellow The fish cakes made by Lian should express his attitude and should get high praise from Ziyou.

"Have you heard a sentence?" Ziyou asked, raising his eyebrows.

"What are you talking about?" Fusu asked nervously.

"A mute eats Coptis chinensis and can't tell the story of his sufferings!" Ziyou said word by word.

"Ah!?" Fusu looked at Ziyou in confusion. He didn't know what Ziyou meant when he said this.

"Are you mute?" Ziyou asked.

Fusu shook his head, his eyes even more confused.

"Then why did you swallow the whole fish cake even though you knew it was bitter, but you still swallowed it? What if a glass of poisonous wine was placed in front of you?" Ziyou tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes filled with tears. He looked at Fusu indifferently.

Fusu was frightened by Ziyou's sudden indifference. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He held his robe nervously, feeling helpless.

"Go back." Ziyou said.

Fusu was stunned on the spot. He didn't know why he was ordered to be expelled like this. He came to listen to Ziyou's teachings, but now he was ordered to be expelled. For a moment, Fusu began to wonder if he had failed to do something. Okay, I made Ziyou angry.

"Mo Crow, send the prince out of the mansion!" Ziyou said.

"promise!"

When Fu Su was sent out of the King's Palace by Mo Ya, he was completely stunned. When the carriage was about to arrive at Qin Palace, Fu Su came back to his senses and said to the coachman.
"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I want to see the Taifu."

"promise!"

The groom turned the carriage and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the King's Mansion.

Zi You was sitting in the pavilion. Concubine Yan, Shao Siming, Xue Nu, Yan Ling Ji and Jing Sala were sitting around the table, tasting the steaming fish cakes. Fu Su was stunned and was sent out of the house by Mo Ya. They looked natural. I saw it.

"Sir, do you dare His Highness the Crown Prince to say anything? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still in high spirits when he came, but when he left, it was as if his soul had been taken away." Snow Girl asked curiously.

"Nothing, just let him eat a little yellow lotus." Ziyou said with a smile.

"Huang Lian?" Everyone asked curiously.

Ziyou told Fusu about the conversation he had just had and how he asked Fusu to eat yellow lotus. Everyone rolled their eyes, and Yan Lingji said directly and speechlessly.
"After all, you are also the young master of His Highness the Crown Prince. Playing tricks on your own disciples like this is an insult to your master's style!"

"Do you think His Highness the Crown Prince has been going too smoothly during this period? Are you worried that His Highness the Crown Prince is born a noble man and has always been prosperous, and will be easy to break if he goes too far?" Jing Salamander said.

Over the years, she has heard a lot of rumors about Fusu's deeds in Xianyang. According to the rumors, Fusu has become equal to a genius, and Fusu grew up under the guidance of Lu Buwei. No matter what he does, he is always a success. Go with the flow, sooner or later there will be big problems if this continues, especially since Fusu is going to Yuyang County this time, taking control of the leadership for the first time at a young age, and Fusu also wants to prove himself, so it is inevitable that he will do something drastic. , so Ziyou wanted to attack Fusu.

"Yes and no." Ziyou said.

"Then you want to cultivate the spirit of resistance in His Highness the Crown Prince? Are you worried that he will have irreparable consequences in the future because he believes in someone's words too much?" Concubine Yan also speculated. "Yes and no." Ziyou said again.

For a while, several people began to discuss what Ziyou wanted to tell Fusu just now. Ziyou looked at the heated discussion and just smiled lightly without saying anything.

At this time, Fusu also came to Lu Buwei's house, and Fusu told Lu Buwei about the conversation between Ziyou and him.

"So you're here to ask me, do you mean what the captain said?" Lu Buwei put down his teacup and looked at Fusu and asked.

"Yes, Uncle Zhong, I seem to have made the young master very dissatisfied." Fusu said with some disappointment.

"The lieutenant's meaning is very obvious. If you can't figure it out, go back and think about it. If you can't figure it out before leaving, then just look and think more on the way, see more of the world, and see more of the people below. When you get to Yuyang, Communicate with Chen Ping," Lu Buwei said.

Fusu didn't expect Lu Buwei to say that, but he also understood that Ziyou must have deep meaning in doing so, and Lu Buwei had his own reasons for not saying anything, so Fusu could only bow and leave.Looking at Fusu's leaving figure, Lu Buwei muttered to himself in a daze.

"Yes, it's time for Fusu to walk on his own. He is the future lord of the world. He should understand that he has the choice not to eat. He has the ability to speak, instead of swallowing this bitter pill."

There are many meanings in Ziyou's incident. The most important thing is that Ziyou is telling Fusu who he is, and he is also telling Fusu what a prince, a future lord of the world, should do.

Fusu returned to the palace in despair. When Fusu appeared in everyone's eyes again, it was already three days later when he was going to lead a team to Yuyang County. Fusu's team only had selected guards and escorts. Team.On the day after the original court meeting, the Yuyuan guards and the Yulin guards who were sent to Yuyang County to assist Chen Ping in quelling the rebellion had already set off.

After Fusu said goodbye to Ying Zheng, he got on the carriage and left Xianyang.

In the Jiao Room of the Qin Palace, Ying Zheng and Zi You sat across from each other. On their desks was a detailed map of King Youxian's tribe sent by Wei Zhuang, especially the location of King Youxian's tent.

"Maodun is not an incompetent person. He wants to completely eradicate the Youxian King's tribe with the help of Qin." Ying Zheng said with emotion as he looked at the map on the table.

King Youxian is the least visible of the three largest tribes of the Xiongnu. No one knows what his true strength is. Even the state of Qin, which has been fighting against King Youxian for many years, dare not say that he truly understands Youxian. Otherwise, the King's Ministry would not have stationed a large number of frontier troops in Beidi County to deal with King Youxian's Ministry at any time.

"In recent years, the border army has been victorious against King Youxian's tribe, and King Youxian's tribe no longer harasses the border. But in fact, we have also lost the opportunity to understand King Youxian's true strength. In the intelligence sent back by Luowang from the grassland, King You Xian’s department has always been the one with the least information. Judging from the information sent by Mao Dun, Mo Dun is much more worried about King You Xian than King Zuo Xian.” Ziyou looked at the extremely detailed records marked on the table. All the pastures, tribes, royal courts and even tribal migration rules of the Youxian King Tribe are followed.

Among the Xiongnu, although the Xiongnu Royal Court is the leader, the strength of the Left and Right Xianwang Tribe is not necessarily weaker than that of the Xiongnu Royal Court. The Left Xianwang Tribe is at war with the Dayue clan all the year round, while the Right Xianwang Tribe has to deal with the Qin State. We also need to help the Xiongnu develop the countries in the Western Region.

Historically, King Zuo Xian defeated the Dayue clan and forced the Dayue clan to move westward, while King Youxian successfully forced the small countries in the Western Regions to continuously pay tribute to the Huns and provided them with a large amount of money and materials.

And Mao Dun marked all the detailed information of King Youxian on this map, and he also felt the seven inches that controlled Qin. With such a good thing, how could Qin let go of this piece of fat on his lips, and The Qin State was able to destroy the Youxian King's tribe and plunder the population, cattle, sheep, horses and money, but it was unable to occupy these places. In the end, these places were occupied by the Xiongnu Royal Court. In only ten or twenty years, the strength of the Xiongnu Royal Court would be received a substantial improvement.

"What do you think, teacher?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Since Moton put this piece of fat into our mouths, this piece of meat cannot end up in Moton's mouth." Ziyou said while looking at the map.

Now the Qin State must fight. If we don't fight the Xiongnu, the three-legged alliance will definitely be broken. If we fight, we can't completely kill the Youxian King.

"Teacher means to press forward step by step, but not to the point of killing King Youxian's tribe," Ying Zheng said.

"That's right, the current Qin State in the grassland cannot be captured. Maybe we can use the barbarians to control the barbarians." Ziyou said.

"I understand what the teacher means." Ying Zheng said with a glint in his eyes.

Now the population of Qin State is completely insufficient to occupy the grassland, and Qin State cannot wage war on the grassland on a large scale. The initial response to the Xiongnu invasion in Shangdang County completely wiped out Qin State's five years of savings, not to mention It is said that the grassland has been captured. If you want to capture the grassland, you must build a city. Building a city after the war will cause too much damage to Qin. This can be done, but it is not something to be done now. It will be done in the future after Qin has rested. A feasible solution for the country.

The Tang Dynasty was the best at using barbarians to control barbarians in history. During the Zhenguan period, everyone was screaming "Daddy", and everyone wished they could be the godson of the Tang Dynasty.

"I wonder who your Majesty favors as the check and balancer?" Ziyou asked.

"Whether Maodun, King Youxian or King Zuoxian are the best choices among the Huns, Donghu among the Hu people is the best choice." Ying Zheng said.

Compared with the Xiongnu, the Donghu had closer ties with the Central Plains and were most influenced by the Central Plains. Now the Donghu has surrendered to Zhao. In order to stabilize the Donghu, Li Mu also used domestication methods to let the Donghu come into contact with the Central Plains culture. However, Now Yuyang County has not yet been pacified, and the Donghu people have surrendered to Zhao State, so the Donghu people cannot win the best choice.

"Ignore the Donghu people for the time being. Within the Xiongnu, you can contact King Youxian. Mr. Gongyang and Wei Zhuang are in the royal court of the Xiongnu. King Zuoxian has Zhihuan by his side, which is enough to influence them. He happens to have this map and sends an army to continue to press him. King You Xian’s tribe forces them to make peace with us,” Ziyou said.

"According to what the teacher said, I wonder when the teacher thinks the best time to send out the troops is?"

"Next spring, since we are going to push King Youxian's tribe into a desperate situation, then we should do it more simply." Ziyou sneered.

The beginning of spring is when everything on the grassland revives, and the Xiongnu cattle and sheep are in estrus. At this time, they launch a war against King Youxian. Not to mention the final result, the cattle, sheep and horses of King Youxian alone will experience a disaster.

"it is good."

After discussing the matter on the grassland, Ying Zheng took out a piece of information from Zhao Guoluowang.

"I think we can attack Zhao next year. The news about He's Bi in Qin was leaked. In the intelligence sent back by the net in Zhao, Zhao Wangqian was almost mad. If the prostitute stopped Zhao Wangqian, Li Mu has already been punished. Yes." Ying Zheng said.

Black and white Xuanjian took out He's Bi in front of hundreds of families, which meant that the news of He's Bi in Qin was destined to be hidden. It would be a matter of time before it spread to Zhao, but Ziyou didn't expect it to be so soon.

"I asked Black and White Xuanjian to take He's Bi, partly because of Lao Zongzheng, but also to get rid of Li Mu, a serious nuisance." Ying Zheng said.
