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

Chapter 40 Ying Zheng agrees to Fusu’s request, and Fusu is in a desperate situation? Meng Yi came to Qilin Hall!

Ying Zheng still agreed to Fusu's request. In his opinion, it was not a bad thing for Fusu to go to the border and guard the border with Meng Tian.

In the harsh environment of the border, Fusu may understand his painstaking efforts better after witnessing the cruelty of war.

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, the hall instantly became quiet.

Many ministers thought that His Majesty would not agree to Fusu's request. After all, going to the border meant staying away from the court.

Now that His Majesty agrees to Fusu's request, many ministers understand that His Majesty is a little disappointed with Fusu because of this matter?
The gray-haired ministers and other ministers who opposed Fusu looked excited when they heard his majesty's words.

In their opinion, Fusu will definitely lose this time, and His Majesty's words are his will.

Since His Majesty agreed to Fusu's request, if Fusu lost, he would obediently leave Xianyang City and go to the borderland with a cruel environment.

Wang Jian and Li Si sighed inwardly. They did not expect that His Majesty would agree to Fusu's request.

One of them is the prime minister, and the other is the general of Qin.

If Fusu loses this time, he will go to the border. The two of them naturally know the meaning of going to the border.

Chunyu Yue frowned, Meng Yi hadn't come to court at this time and Fusu had already lost.

In this way, Fusu would go to the border, which was somewhat beyond Chunyu Yue's expectations.

He just wanted Fusu to get into trouble, and he didn't want Fusu to stay away from the court.

Chunyu Yue was thinking about what he, a servant, would do to ensure his position in Da Qin if Fusu left the court.

Hu Hai lowered his head at this time. Just now he thought that his father might not agree to Fusu's request.

Unexpectedly, his father really agreed to Fusu's request. In Hu Hai's opinion, Fusu would definitely lose today.

In this way, Fusu stayed away from the court, and he was the only prince his father could trust.

Even if my father calls Fusu back from the border in the future, Xianyang City will already be full of his power.

How could Fusu fight with him alone?

Hu Hai was very excited when he thought of this. His previous worries were unnecessary.

There was no one else behind Fusu except Meng Yi, otherwise how could Fusu say he wanted to go to the border!

In Hu Hai's view, Fusu returned to his old self after a few days. Such Fusu was nothing to be afraid of.

"Thank you, Father!"

Fusu ignored the gloating of some ministers behind him. It was not certain who would win or lose before the matter was over.

Without the teacher's guidance, Fusu would not have dared to say such words to his father today.

With teacher Lin Xuan here, Fusu didn't have the slightest fear.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu who looked calm and nodded slightly.

No matter whether Fusu wins or loses this time, there is no sign of weakness in his momentum, which makes Ying Zheng very satisfied.

Although Fusu's words just now were a little impulsive, Ying Zheng also hoped that Fusu would win over the ministers who opposed him.

In this way, not only the problem of the national treasury is solved, but also a large amount of wealth can be obtained from the families of these ministers.

Ying Zheng knew very well that these ministers all had considerable wealth.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty!"

"General Meng Yi, come to see me!"

A burly soldier hurriedly entered the Qilin Hall and knelt down on one knee facing Ying Zheng.

Everyone in the hall lit up when they heard the soldier's words, Meng Yi finally arrived.

Whoever wins between Fusu and those ministers who oppose him depends on how Meng Yi handles things.

"Let General Meng come in!"

"promise!"

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, the soldiers stood up and left the hall.

"Tap Tap!"

Soon everyone heard the sound of rapid footsteps. The ministers looked back and saw Meng Yi in armor hurriedly entering the hall with a hint of excitement on his face.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene. It was a big sin for Meng Yi to be late for the morning meeting.

Why is Meng Yi still looking excited on his face now?

Chunyu Yue looked at Meng Yi with excitement on his face, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

When Wang Jian and Li Si saw Meng Yi's expression, they were stunned for a moment and realized that the two looked at each other with something strange.

Hu Hai has also been paying attention to Meng Yi, and he saw Meng Yi's face clearly just now.

The hands in his sleeves were trembling slightly, and Hu Hai had a bad feeling in his heart.

Fusu saw the excitement on Meng Yi's face and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"I came to court early and late, please punish me!"

Meng Yi came to the front of the hall and knelt down facing Ying Zheng with a look of guilt on his face.

It is not a small crime to arrive early and late. Although Meng Yi has won His Majesty's trust, he still has to admit his mistakes.

"Meng Aiqing came late for a reason. I will forgive you this time."

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi who was kneeling on the ground and waved his hand to signal Meng Yi to get up.

Meng family members have been loyal to the Qin Dynasty for generations, and Meng Ao made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty in conquering cities and territories.

Meng Tian even fought against the Huns on the border and protected the borders of Qin.

Meng Yi had been in the court for many years and was loyal to Ying Zheng.

The three ministers in the court whom Ying Zheng trusted most were Li Si, Wang Jian and Mengyi.

Ying Zheng would not punish Meng Yi for this matter.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Meng Yi stood up respectfully, looked at the First Emperor and saluted with his hands raised:
"Yesterday, with His Majesty's instructions, I went to the military camp to arrange for soldiers to go to the homes of various squires."

"I personally took some cavalry and went to Lanfeng County outside Xianyang City to find a squire."

"I came to court early and late today because of this matter."

Meng Yi looked at the First Emperor and respectfully told him the reason why he came to the court late and early.

The gray-haired ministers and those who opposed Fusu's suggestions looked excited when they heard Meng Yi's words.

Meng Yi's words were consistent with their suspicions. Meng Yi must not have completed His Majesty's question.

Hu Hai's heart dropped when he heard Meng Yi's words. It seemed that he had thought too much just now.

"How did you go about the things I told you?"

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi and expressed the doubts he had given to Meng Yi yesterday.

Meng Yi's face showed excitement when he heard Ying Zheng's words, "Your Majesty!"

"Yesterday, I went to the squire's home in Lanfeng County to convey His Majesty's will."

"This squire did not obey your majesty's will. I also found out that this person usually connives with the servants of the government to harm the people in the county and occupy their fertile land."

"I executed this bully squire and his servants. I found more than twenty boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in this squire's house."

"I have returned to Xianyang City with these gold and silver jewels, and the soldiers I sent have also returned to Xianyang City one after another."

"These soldiers told me that the squires they visited also refused to pay taxes at their homes."

"On weekdays, they bully the people and occupy fertile farmland. These soldiers follow my orders."

"I executed these bully squires and their evil slaves, ransacked their homes and brought all their ill-gotten gains back to Xianyang City."

"I took these soldiers outside the treasury and counted the gold, silver and jewelry brought back with the officials in charge of the treasury."

"After a night of counting, I and other soldiers brought back more than 700 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry."

"This is the quantity of gold, silver and jewels written by the official in charge of the treasury. Your Majesty, please read it!"

With excitement on his face, Meng Yi took out a piece of brocade cloth from his sleeve.
