Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 10: The conversation between Meng Yi and his daughter. Why did Fusu change so much in just one day?

Meng Yi, who drank the wine with a smile on his face, was stunned when he heard his daughter's words.

"What does Yun'er mean by this?"

Meng Yun looked at his father who looked confused, thought for a moment and said, "Father and other elders of the Meng family support Mr. Fusu."

"My father also said at home that Mr. Fusu has a stubborn personality that is difficult to change."

"Yesterday morning, Mr. Fusu suggested to Your Majesty that the nobles of the Six Nations should be allowed to return to their homeland."

"In just one day, Mr. Fusu changed his tune early this morning and did not allow the nobles of the six countries to return to their homeland."

"Also admit your mistake in front of His Majesty."

"Master Fusu's behavior today conflicts with what my father said about Master Fusu's stubborn character."

Meng Yun looked at his father and expressed his inner thoughts.

Meng Yi lowered his head and thought after hearing his daughter's words. Meng Yun was very smart among the younger generation.

She often helped him with some strategies, and Meng Yi thought what Meng Yun said just now made sense.

He knew Mr. Fusu's character best, and he had tried to dissuade Mr. Fusu before.

Mr. Fusu did not listen to his advice, but still acted according to his own ideas.

Mr. Fusu's behavior in the morning meeting was completely inconsistent with Mr. Fusu's character.

"Daughter, why do you think Mr. Fusu has changed so much today?"

Meng Yi thought for a moment but still had no idea. He looked at his daughter and asked her what she thought.

"My daughter didn't go to the morning court, so I can only make a rough guess."

"Master Fusu has changed so much today. Maybe someone taught him."

"Let Master Fusu know the disadvantages of the nobles from the six countries returning to their homeland. Master Fusu accepted these words."

"That's why I proposed to Your Majesty in the court today that the nobles of the Six Nations should not be allowed to return to their homeland."

Meng Yun looked at Meng Yi and expressed his guess.

Meng Yi's eyes lit up when he heard his daughter's words. What his daughter said made sense.

It is difficult to change Mr. Fusu's stubborn character, so someone must have made Mr. Fusu aware of the disadvantages of the nobles from the six countries returning to their homeland.

That's why Mr. Fusu behaved completely differently from yesterday when he went to court today.

"Since someone is teaching Mr. Fusu, who could this person be?"

"Master Fusu has been reprimanded by His Majesty recently, and many people who have taken refuge with His Majesty Fusu have left."

"In addition to being a father, I only have Chunyu Yue, the master's teacher."

Meng Yi drank another glass of wine with a trace of doubt on his face.

"Maybe it was Chun Yuyue, Master Fusu's teacher, who taught him the disadvantages of the nobles from the six countries returning to their homeland."

Meng Yun heard his father mention Chun Yuyue and spoke Chun Yuyue's name.

"Humph!"

"It is impossible for Chunyu Yueduan to teach Master Fusu about the disadvantages of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms returning to their homeland."

"The reason why Your Majesty has been scolding Mr. Fusu these days has a lot to do with Chunyu Yue."

"My father also heard that Mr. Fusu proposed to Your Majesty yesterday that the nobles of the six countries should return to their homeland. It was Chunyu Yue and Fusu who said so."

"Since Chunyu Yue asked Master Fusu to tell His Majesty that the nobles of the six countries should return to their homeland, how could he teach Master Fusu?"

Meng Yi mentioned Chunyu Yue, with a hint of anger on his face.

If it weren't for Chunyu Yue being Fusu's teacher, he would have some reputation among the ministers.

Meng Yi had long ago beheaded Chun Yuyue, an old rotten scholar. A large part of the reason why Mr. Fusu was reprimanded by His Majesty was because of Chun Yuyue.

"Since it's not Chunyu Yue, my daughter really can't think of anyone else who can teach Mr. Fusu about the shortcomings of nobles from the six countries returning to their homeland."

Meng Yun frowned slightly when he heard his father Meng Yi's words.

"Perhaps Mr. Fusu has figured this out by himself. Mr. Fusu just has a stubborn personality."

Meng Yi stopped thinking about it, drank a glass of wine and looked at Meng Yun and said.

Meng Yun nodded slightly when he heard his father's words. Perhaps Mr. Fusu had figured it out on his own. The entire Xianyang City knows how outstanding Mr. Fusu is.

Chunyu Yue's Mansion!
"Get out, get out!"

There were bamboo books scattered all over the study room. Chun Yuyue sat in the main seat and looked at the servant at the door, scolding him loudly.

"promise!"

When several servants heard Chun Yuyue's words, they left the study with fear on their faces.

Chunyu Yue had anger on his face as he looked at the bamboo books scattered on the ground.

"master!"

A middle-aged man entered the study and looked at Chunyu Yue as he bowed his hands.

"Humph! Why did you come in if I didn't let everyone out?"

Chunyu Yue looked at the middle-aged man and did not let him go out.

This person was the steward of Chunyu Yue's house. He had followed Chunyu Yue for many years and gained Chunyu Yue's trust.

"The master is so angry when he returns to the palace after retreating from the court. It must be someone in the court who has angered the master."

"I'm worried that the master will be angry, so I came here to persuade the master not to be angry."

The housekeeper looked at Chun Yuyue with a hint of respect on his face.

"Humph!"

"Today in the court, Fusu actually suggested to His Majesty that the nobles of the six countries should not be allowed to return to their homeland."

"I am worried that the nobles of the six countries will return to their homeland and raise troops to fight against the Qin Dynasty."

"After retiring from the imperial court, I found Fusu and told him that the nobles of the six countries returned to their homeland because they missed their hometown."

"Da Qin has now unified the people to live and work in peace and contentment. These nobles will not raise armies to resist Da Qin."

"Fusu, a child with a yellow mouth, actually contradicted me and asked me to go and tell His Majesty that the nobles of the six countries would not rebel when they returned to their homeland."

"I am his teacher, and he spoke to me like this without caring about my face."

As Chunyu Yue spoke, he slapped the desk clerk in front of him hard with an angry look on his face.

As a great Confucian, what Chun Yuyue values ​​most is his own reputation and face.

In his opinion, he was Fusu's teacher, and Fusu's words to contradict him were a slap in the face.

The housekeeper had a look of surprise on his face when he heard Chun Yuyue's words. He thought that Chun Yuyue and Li Si had a disagreement over something.

Unexpectedly, it was his student Fusu who made the master angry. The housekeeper frowned and looked at Chunyu Yue and said:

"Master! I remember that I retreated from the court and returned to my house yesterday."

"You said that Mr. Fusu and His Majesty suggested that the nobles of the Six Nations return to their homeland. Why did you suddenly change your statement today and suggested to Your Majesty that the nobles of the Six Nations should not be allowed to return to their homeland."

"Why did Mr. Fusu change his statement in just one day?"

After the butler finished speaking, his expression became a little ugly, and he didn't understand why Fusu had to change his statement today.

"Humph!"

"After retreating from the court, I saw Meng Yi and Fu Su having a conversation. Meng Yi supported Fu Su."

"It must be Meng Yi who taught Fusu after he retired from the court yesterday, and asked Fusu to propose to His Majesty this morning that the nobles of the six countries should not be allowed to return to their homeland."

"Fusu has a stubborn personality for only one day, and he will not change his views so easily."

"Apart from me, only Meng Yi can teach Fusu."

Chunyu Yue mentioned Meng Yi, with a look of anger on his face.

"Meng Yi has repeatedly opposed the master. This person is the master's enemy."

When the housekeeper heard Meng Yi's name, he also had an angry look on his face.

"Master Fusu suggested to Your Majesty that the nobles of the six countries should not be allowed to return to their homeland."

"How will the master explain this matter to the nobles staying in Xianyang City?"
