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

Chapter 37 Chunyu Yue feels helpless! Why has Fusu changed so much?

"Humph!"

Chunyu Yue snorted heavily when he heard the housekeeper's words.

He looked up at the housekeeper and said, "I thought I would see Fusu unable to tell His Majesty the proposal to solve the treasury problem this morning."

"What I didn't expect was that Fusu really told His Majesty the solution to the emptiness of the treasury."

"His Majesty listened to Fusu's suggestion and was very happy to praise Fusu and issued an order to send people to do what Fusu said."

The housekeeper had a look of surprise on his face when he heard Chun Yuyue's words. He was still talking to Chun Yuyue yesterday.

Fusu has absolutely no solution to the empty treasury. After all, neither His Majesty nor other ministers have a solution to this problem.

Unexpectedly, Fusu was actually in the court today and actually spoke out the solution to the emptiness of the treasury.

"Sir, what exactly did Fusu propose that made His Majesty issue the decree?"

The housekeeper looked at Chun Yuyue and expressed his doubts.

"Humph!"

"Fusu got His Majesty's approval yesterday and took Meng Yi and some soldiers with him."

"Go to a county outside Xianyang City."

"I executed a bully squire and ransacked his mansion."

"Bring all the money in the mansion back to Xianyang City."

"Fusu suggested that your majesty send someone to follow his actions."

"Not only can we get rid of these bully squires, but we can also solve the problem of empty national treasury."

When Chunyu Yue said this, he thought of Fusu's expressionless face again.

In his impression, Fusu had always been gentle with a smile on his face. Now Fusu's expressionless face made him feel a little uneasy.

When the housekeeper heard Chun Yuyue's words, his throat moved.

Fusu led his soldiers to the county seat, executed the bullies, ransacked their homes and brought the money back to Xianyang City.

If such behavior were done by other generals, the steward would think it was normal.

But it was Fusu who did this, the Fusu who was based on benevolence and righteousness.

If these words had not come from Chun Yuyue's mouth, the housekeeper would not believe it.

Fusu's performance in the past few days has surprised the housekeeper.

Now Fusu's behavior made the housekeeper feel a little uneasy while being surprised.

"I remember that many ministers have some relationship with the squires in Da Qin."

"Fusu's suggestions are not only aimed at these squires, but also at the ministers in the court."

"Sir, did the ministers in the court agree with Fusu's suggestion?"

The housekeeper's face was gloomy, and he looked at Chunyu Yue and expressed his doubts.

After all, he was Chun Yuyue's steward, and he occasionally communicated with other ministers' stewards.

Naturally, we know that there are some country squires who are related to the ministers of the DPRK.

"Humph!"

"Many ministers in the court heard Fusu's proposal and stood up to oppose it."

"The squire Fusu executed yesterday was Zhao Gao's godson."

"Zhao Gao is not looked down upon by Fusu, let alone the ministers in the court?"

Chunyu Yue said with a sneer on his face.

Zhao Gao refused to admit in court today that he was related to the squire who was executed by Fusu.

Chunyu Yue knew very well that even if Zhao Gao did not admit that he and the squire were godfather and godson.

The housekeeper was stunned when he heard Chun Yuyue's words. He knew the name Zhao Gao very well.

To be precise, all the ministers in Xianyang City know Zhao Gao, who is His Majesty's personal eunuch.

His status was not comparable to that of ordinary ministers. Fu Su even dared to kill Zhao Gao's godson.

Those ministers in the court who objected would indeed not be looked down upon by Fusu.

"Master, are you going to let Fusu continue to gain His Majesty's favor like this?"

"In this way, Fusu will become more and more separated from the master, which is not a good thing for the master."

The housekeeper looked at Chun Yuyue and expressed his worries. The more Fu Su became popular with His Majesty, the more uneasy he felt.

Only when Fusu is in a bad situation will he ask Chun Yuyue for help, and then Fusu will be controlled by Chun Yuyue.

"Humph!"

"Fusu gained favor from His Majesty in the court today, but he also offended those ministers."

"These ministers have aristocratic backgrounds, so they will definitely not swallow this breath."

"Fusu will definitely be targeted in the future. When Fusu is desperate, he will come to me for help."

"When I help you again then, Fusu will definitely be grateful to me."

Chunyu Yue said with a hint of confidence on his face.

This time Fusu made suggestions to His Majesty, which was actually good news for Chunyu Yue.

After offending so many ministers, Fusu will definitely be unable to bear it. At that time, he, the teacher, will be Fusu's life-saving straw.

"The master is wise!"

When the housekeeper heard Chun Yuyue's words, he felt worried.

"Sir, some of the older officials in the court must be retiring in the next few days!"

"Will the people who replace these officials continue to cooperate with the master?"

The steward looked at Chun Yuyue with a serious look on his face.

Chun Yuyue was stunned for a moment when he heard the butler's words, and soon there was a smile on his face:
"I have made an agreement with some ministers who are about to retire, and they will be replaced by family members."

"They will still cooperate with me as they did when they were ministers."

When the housekeeper heard Chun Yuyue's words, his face became relaxed.

"Sir, your Majesty sent people to collect taxes from the homes of these squires."

"Several squires are related to you, and one of them is your distant relative."

"If these squires pay a lot of taxes, they will give the master less money in the future."

The housekeeper looked at Chun Yuyue and suddenly mentioned the squire again.

Chunyu Yue's face turned gloomy again when he heard the steward's words. Many ministers in the court were related to the squire.

He also had relationships with several squires, and Fusu's proposal not only targeted other ministers, but also Chunyu Yue.

"His Majesty agreed with the suggestions put forward by Fusu in the court and made a decree."

"Even if I am a servant, I can't object."

"These squires are smart people and will know what to do."

Chunyu Yue said this, feeling very uneasy in his heart.

These squires usually run rampant in the county with the support of his teacher, Pushe Fusu.

If these squires used force against the soldiers who went to collect taxes, their end would be tragic.

Chunyu Yue could only hope that these squires knew the current affairs.

The housekeeper's face turned ugly when he heard Chun Yuyue's words. He usually dealt with these squires.

Naturally knowing the character of these squires, the housekeeper also felt a little uneasy.

Suddenly the housekeeper thought of something, looked at Chunyu Yue with a gloomy face and said:

"Sir, Fusu's actions yesterday and the suggestions he made in court today."

"It's not like Fusu can do or think of it. As Fusu's teacher, you naturally know this."

Chun Yuyue, who was still worried about the few squires, was stunned for a moment when he heard the housekeeper's words and quickly reacted.

"What you said makes sense. Fusu's behavior yesterday and the suggestions he made today are logically impossible for Fusu to do."

"Your Majesty asked Meng Yi to do this today. It must be Meng Yi, a reckless man."

"Today in the court, it was Meng Yi and His Majesty who revealed that the squire executed yesterday was Zhao Gao's godson."

"I didn't expect that Meng Yi could come up with such a method. I just underestimated him."

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

The housekeeper frowned when he heard Chun Yuyue's words. He thought for a moment and looked at Chun Yuyue and said:

"Master, have you ever thought that the person who advises Fusu may not be Meng Yi, but someone else?"
