Shatilie became more and more beautiful as he thought about it. He turned around and said to the Huns next to him: "Very good, very good. You are quite wise. You are very different from the ignorant and reckless men in the mission. What is your name? After returning, I will The king wants to reuse you."
The Huns were a little speechless and said: "The villain's name is Zhu Xu'er. Before leaving, Shanyu ordered the villain to be the personal servant beside the king. Along the way, the villain has been in front of the saddle and behind the horse."
Shatilie laughed and said, "No wonder you look so familiar. It turns out that you have been in front of my eyes all day."
Shatilie thought for a while and then said to Zhu Xuer: "Tomorrow, it's best to make a big fanfare and let everyone know that I, Shatilie, can drink the fairy wine without getting drunk."
Zhu Xuer said: "Of course. Tomorrow I will call all the Huns to cheer for the king. By then, the king will drink the immortal wine in one gulp, and the name of the immortal will be spread word of mouth."
Shatilie nodded with satisfaction.
In order to prepare for the battle, Shatilie lay on the bed early to recharge his batteries. But he couldn't sleep. Firstly, I'm nervous, and secondly, I've had morning and night turns upside down lately, and it's not the time to sleep at all.
Shatilie could only close his eyes and think wildly.
Will it be successful tomorrow? This is for sure. I, Shatilie, am a descendant of Daxia, and my ancestor is Yu the Great. Perhaps we can trace it back a little further, and our ancestor is Yao and Shun, no, the Yellow Emperor.
Huangdi fought against Chiyou and established the Central Plains, which was a great achievement. When you grow old, you will ride on a dragon to heaven and become an immortal. This is certain.
Therefore, there is no problem with his identity as a fairy.
There's no problem with being a fairy, but is there a problem with drinking? It's impossible, I, Satire, can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. So many lowly people in Guizhou don't get drunk even after drinking, but I do get drunk after drinking? This is impossible.
Shatilie thought about it for half the night. The more he thought about it, the more confident he became, and then he fell asleep.
…………
At five o'clock, Fusu was dressed neatly and waiting outside Yingzheng's palace. He looked indignant, and his mind was filled with thoughts about the conversation he had with Chun Yuyue last night.
"Master, recently there is a rumor in Xianyang City that one drink of immortal wine is worth ten thousand dollars. Isn't it ridiculous?"
"It's not only ridiculous, it's simply shameless. I thought Huaiguzi was just cheating in the palace. Who knew he was cheating outside the palace, even the poor people in the capital of Guizhou? Such people , how is it different from the beasts?"
"I want to sue my father to expose this monster."
"No, your Majesty is a firm believer in Huaiguzi. If you go now, it will be in vain. It is better to wait."
"Still waiting? The people are suffering, how can we wait any longer?"
"Fusu, if you miss a blow, you will be harmed instead. If Huaiguzi bears a grudge against you and slanders His Majesty, wouldn't that be a big deal? Although you are the eldest son, you have not been canonized as a prince. . Your position is not impregnable, so you must not be careless."
"If you can save the people, what if you give up your position as prince?"
"Muddleheaded, if you inherit the throne, you can calmly implement benevolent government as a teacher. By then, thousands of people will be saved. Do you want to give up the people of the whole world for the sake of thousands of Xianyang people? You are petty and lose big. .”
After all, Fusu respected his teacher and did not continue to argue with Chunyu Yue. But after returning, Fusu thought about it and decided to come and give advice to Ying Zheng.
The reason is very simple. Fusu has not seen whether the people in the world are suffering or not. But the people in Xianyang City who were deceived by the immortal wine are right in front of them, how can they ignore it?
Mencius said that when a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, this is the art of benevolence.
Thinking that what he was doing was still the Confucian way of benevolence and righteousness, Fusu became more confident, so he took a bath at the third watch, ate at the fourth watch, and waited outside Ying Zheng's palace at the fifth watch.
Not long after, a young eunuch came out and said, "Your Majesty heard that the young master is waiting outside, and ordered your servant to invite the young master in."
Fusu smiled kindly and followed the young eunuch towards the palace. On the way, he suddenly asked casually: "Where is Ji Ming? Isn't he always on duty by my father's side?"
The young eunuch laughed dryly and said, "Ji Ming, you were beaten a hundred times last time. The new injuries plus the old ones are still not healed. You are still lying on the bed crying out in pain."
When the young eunuch said this, he was quite gloating about his misfortune. After all...if Ji Ming wasn't injured, he wouldn't get the chance to serve the emperor.
Although it is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, once the emperor is made happy, he may be able to soar into the sky.
After entering the palace, Fusu saw Ying Zheng having breakfast.
Ying Zheng pointed to a table and said, "Sit down."
Fusu sat down and a palace maid served food.
Fusu didn't eat it.
Ying Zheng asked casually: "The palace man said that before the fifth watch, you were waiting outside. What's the matter?"
Fu Su left the table, knelt in front of Ying Zheng, and said with a sad face: "Father, Huai Guzi is a sinister villain. How can you trust him so easily?"
Ying Zheng was a little unhappy and said calmly: "You came to see me before dawn. Could it be that you came here specifically to cause trouble for me?"
Fusu said: "Father, Huaiguzi sells fairy wine in Xianyang City, do you know?"
When Ying Zheng heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
I also drank a few glasses of fairy wine. After the big banquet that day, Huaiguzi once brought over a jar.
Although this fairy wine is mellow and fragrant, it has a strong temper. It needs to be drank slowly and not in a hurry. To be honest, Ying Zheng didn't like this kind of strong drink, especially this cautious way of drinking.
Later, I heard Huai Guzi say that immortal wine is different from steamed buns. Steamed buns can improve physical fitness and lay the foundation for taking elixir in the future. As for the fairy wine, it is just for drinkers. Apart from satisfying the appetite, there is nothing special about it. Even among immortals, there are many people who do not drink immortal wine.
After hearing this, Ying Zheng never touched the fairy wine again.
However, just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean you can let others drink it too.
It was just a reward to Li Xin and other ministers, but the pagoda millet was actually sold for sale. Wouldn't this be disrespectful to the emperor's majesty?
Fusu looked at Ying Zheng's face and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that today's admonishment was effective.
So he continued: "That fairy wine and sophora millet are sold for a sky-high price of 10,000 yuan a cup. Isn't this ridiculous?"
"I also heard that Huaiguzi sells immortal wine in name, but in fact he is cheating. All the people who drink alcohol are not drunk. How can anyone in the world do anything for immortals? It is simply unreasonable."
"Father, if you allow Huaiguzi to continue his nonsense, the life savings of the people of Xianyang will be wiped out by him. Within a few months, everyone in Xianyang City will be hungry without food and cold without clothes. Only Huaiguzi will be rich. It’s an enemy country.”
Ying Zheng was a little helpless. Is it true that someone would lose everything just for a sip of fairy wine? Isn't this a bit alarmist? However, Fu Su spoke sincerely, and Ying Zheng had no choice but to nod his head and said, "That's all, I will summon Huai Guzi into the palace to see what he has to say."
When Fusu heard this, he immediately became anxious.
He said with a bitter face: "Huai Guzi is an eloquent person. Even if Dr. Chun is here, he can't do anything to him. If he is summoned into the palace, he will definitely confuse right and wrong, and even discredit his ministers."
Ying Zheng had a headache: "In your opinion, what should we do?"
Fusu said: "I have the courage to ask Your Majesty to leave the palace incognito. As long as you stand near the wine shop and take a look, you will understand everything."
"When you leave the palace this time, don't disturb anyone. Father, don't send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, shouting in front and behind, to clean the streets. In that way, you won't be able to see the real people, the real common people."
"My father only needs to be like ordinary wealthy people, and take dozens of martial arts guards with him, and stroll through Xianyang City. I believe that after my father comes back, he will lament the hardships in Guizhou and the poverty of the people."
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said: "This is what Chunyu Yue often said, the way of benevolence and righteousness, the people are more valuable than the king?"
Fusu nodded.
Ying Zheng sighed slightly: "The people value the king more than the king, what a big lie. From my perspective, Confucian scholars are pedantic and empty talk, which harms the country, is far more harmful than Huai Guzi."
Fusu subconsciously wanted to argue. Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Please step aside. Today, as you asked, I will go and see how the people of Xianyang drink the fairy wine."
