Outside the palace, Chunyu Yue was preparing to enter the palace to meet the emperor to discuss sending troops to the Huns.
The news from Xianyang City has not reached here yet.
When entering the palace, Chunyu Yue saw Li Shui.
Li Shui came to the palace also to meet the emperor. After he woke up not long ago, he felt the need to take the initiative to see Ying Zheng and tell him: My matter is almost done, and Mo Dun is about to commit a crime. As a result, he was picked up by Chun Yuyue.
It's best to take the initiative to talk about this kind of thing. If Ying Zheng were to ask questions, he would inevitably be suspected of shirking responsibility.
So Li Shui came over immediately after having lunch. I just didn't expect to meet Chunyu Yue at the palace gate.
After Chunyu Yue saw Li Shui, he came over immediately.
Li Shui wanted to pretend not to know him, lowered his head and quickly entered the palace, but he stopped him.
Chun Yuyue sighed first, and then said in a serious tone: "Huai Guzi, you must be clever. Your magic is indeed magical. These old men all admire it very much. But when it comes to dealing with others, You’re still far from it.”
Li Shui took out his ears and felt that this Chunyu Yue was really annoying.
It's a pity that Chunyu Yue didn't realize it himself, and kept nagging: "Mao Dun is a guest. If you treat him like this, doesn't it make people think that Da Qin is stingy? It's not him who loses face, it's Da Qin."
"Now in Xianyang City, there are also envoys from Nanyue, Baiyue, Southwest Yi, and other places. They are all waiting and watching to see our Great Qin's attitude towards various ethnic groups."
"With your attitude, what do you want them to think? Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is the best strategy. If you do this, those who want to escape from others and alienate others will pay an unknown price in the future. Only then can we subdue them.”
Li Shui said helplessly: "Dr. Chunyu, are you thirsty? I have some fairy wine for you to drink."
Chunyu Yue chuckled: "Don't think I'm verbose. These are all good words. Good medicine tastes bitter. I might as well explain it to you. Maodun is of great importance. I, the Qin Dynasty, still rely on him to check and balance Sha Tilie. You If you humiliate him like this, in the end, he turns to Shatilie, what should you do if the two brothers join forces and become our enemy, Great Qin?"
Li Shui said helplessly: "Sha Tilie wants to kill Mo Dun. No matter how stupid Mo Dun is, he won't join forces with Sha Ti Lie, right?"
Chunyu Yue stroked his beard and said: "I look at Mao Dun, and he may not be that smart. Including the Huns under him, they are all vulgar. In short, a fight between two tigers is the best for us, Da Qin. . Don’t think that I don’t know that when I beat Maodun a few days ago, the shadow of the craftsman was involved every time. Do you dare to say that this was not your instigation? "
"Huaiguzi, your experience in military affairs is too shallow. You cannot control a country to fight against others based on personal likes and dislikes. The war between the two countries affects tens of millions of people. Sometimes, you need to bear the humiliation and bear the heavy burden. , sometimes, you need to let go of your past grudges..."
Li Shui was a little speechless. This guy didn't know about Sha Tilie's torture, nor did he know about Ying Zheng's plan to let Mao Dun be tortured. Naturally, he couldn't understand why he was finding trouble with Mao Dun.
But this kind of thing is too confidential. How can I tell him without the emperor's permission?
Just when Li Shui braced himself and listened to Chun Yuyue's lesson, three people came running from a distance.
The first person suffered a head injury and bleeding, and he cried and cried from afar: "Master, master. It's not good..."
Li Shui squinted his eyes and saw that this person seemed to be the housekeeper of Chunyu Yue Mansion.
Chunyu Yue was shocked and asked: "What happened again? The people beat the Huns again? Huaiguzi, what did you instruct the craftsmen to do again?"
Li Shui looked innocent.
The housekeeper said: "No, it was the Huns who entered the Nulu, and the woman inside refused to do his business, so they injured the woman. After the woman escaped, the Huns chased her out and attacked the women in Xianyang City. The people were punching and kicking.”
"They provoked public outrage, and half of the people in Xianyang City are chasing them. Now these people have hidden in Chunyu Mansion. The people of Xianyang have surrounded Chunyu Mansion and asked the master to hand over the Huns."
"Fortunately, Lord Zhao Teng received the news and joined forces with the city guards to suppress the people. Naturally, those people did not dare to be enemies with the imperial court, nor did they dare to attack Chunyu Mansion, but they refused to disperse and kept gathering nearby."
"Some nefarious people even spread rumors that your Excellency is..."
Chunyu Yue felt dizzy and asked, "What is it?"
The housekeeper whispered: "It's Qin traitor."
Chunyu Yue almost vomited out a mouthful of blood: "I work so hard every day just for the sake of the people, and yet I was called a traitor to Qin?"
Next to him, Li Shuile blossomed and couldn't help but admire: "Dr. Chunyu is so smart. I spent several days, used hundreds of manpower, and humiliated Maodun repeatedly, but I still couldn't make him show his flaws. Master Chunyu only used After a whole morning, they caused such a big mess. I admire you, I admire you."
Chunyu Yue swayed and fainted to the ground.
The housekeeper quickly stepped forward and slapped Chunyu Yue awake. Then he pointed at the two minor officials behind him and said: "Because it was the Huns who provoked the trouble, Mr. Zhao Teng did not want to use force to drive away the people, for fear of chilling people's hearts. He also did not want to arrest the Huns, for fear of ruining the court's plans. Therefore. I ordered someone to go to the palace to report to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to decide whether to arrest or release the Huns, and how to deal with the troublemaking people."
"These two are Lord Zhao Teng's messengers. Sir, what should we do?"
The steward's intention was obvious. If something like this happened in Xianyang City, Chunyu Mansion would not be able to escape its involvement. Once this matter is reported to His Majesty, His Majesty may be outraged. How it will end then, Chunyu Yue had better make plans in advance.
Chunyu Yue took a deep breath and said to the two minor officials: "You two, please wait for a moment. Wait for us to come out before entering the palace."
The two clerks looked at each other and nodded.
They were not surprised, they had already guessed this.
No matter what the reason was, Chunyu Yue was at fault when things happened like this. Therefore, he must apologize before His Majesty.
Chunyu Yue went in before the messenger, which was an act of apology. Waiting for the emperor to find out and then asking for forgiveness would be a passive apology. The effect is very different.
Li Shui warmly supported Chunyu Yue and said, "Master Chunyu, come on, come on, I'll support you. Watch your steps."
Chunyu Yue walked inside feeling dizzy with pain, always feeling that Li Shui was gloating about his misfortune.
As they walked, Chun Yuyue muttered: "Why? When you bullied them like that before, they didn't say a word. I treat each other with courtesy, but they caused such a thing."
Li Shui said: "Isn't this simple? If you treat each other with courtesy, they will think that they have a backer, so of course they will be arrogant."
Chunyu Yue sighed: "These barbarians are really... alas."
Li Shui suppressed his laughter, patted Chunyu Yue on the shoulder, and said, "Dr. Chunyu, if something like this happens, your Majesty will probably reprimand you. But I'm different. I have your Majesty's trust, and I have a gold medal for immunity from death." . If I was the one who caused this, His Majesty would probably just laugh it off and leave it at that."
Chunyu Yue's face turned red: "What? Master Huai is showing off?"
Li Shui waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, what I mean is...otherwise, I will take care of this matter for you."
Chunyu Yue looked at Li Shui in surprise: "This... how can this be... I only do things for myself..."
Li Shui said: "Master Chunyu, why are you so polite? Maodun, I should have been the one to receive the reception, and I am also half responsible for this matter. What's more, Li Xin and I are close friends, and Li Xin and you are blood relatives. , the two of us are considered close friends. I should help you. "
Chunyu Yue thought to himself: Li Xin and I are not related by blood.
But then, he thought again: If he and Huaiguzi became close friends, would he not have to pay when he went to Shangjun Courtyard in the future?
After this thought came to his mind, Chunyu Yue wanted to slap himself in the face: I am an upright gentleman, how could I be polluted by Huaiguzi? Are you starting to talk about money, too? Besides, what’s so good about Shangjun Courtyard? Why should I go?
He was thinking wildly all the way until he arrived at the door of Ying Zheng's study.
Li Shui looked upright and said to Chunyu Yue: "Dr. Chunyu, remember what I just said. I have taken care of this matter. Don't fight with me, otherwise I will fight with you and beat you into a rebel. "
Chunyu Yue sighed slightly in his heart: I never expected that Huai Guzi would have such loyalty at the critical moment. In order to help me take responsibility, you have to become my enemy.
Chunyu Yue saluted Li Shui and said with great emotion: "Master Huai, I...I appreciate your kindness. I am deeply grateful."
Li Shui smiled and said, "Easy to say, easy to say."
After the two met Ying Zheng. Huaiguzi immediately said with a playful smile: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I did not take good care of Moton and his party and showed a lot of neglect. They can't stand it anymore. Harassing the people of Xianyang has aroused public anger."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed and thought: It is indeed right to leave this matter to Huai Guzi. Isn't this already done? Sophora japonica and millet have won my heart!
Ying Zheng stood up, smiled and cursed at Li Shui: "Nonsense, you must never do this again."
Li Shui said with a smile: "I understand, I will definitely change."
Chunyu Yue was dumbfounded at the side: I knew that His Majesty favored Huaiguzi, but I didn't know that His Majesty favored Huaiguzi to such an extent. This...this scene is simply a combination of a foolish king and a sycophantic minister.
But Chunyu Yue then thought about it and realized that Huai Guzi took over the matter in order to help himself take the blame. It seems too shameless to secretly call someone a sycophant.
For a moment, Chunyu Yue's heart was filled with mixed emotions that were difficult to describe.
Suddenly, Ying Zheng asked: "Dr. Chunyu is here, what's the matter?"
Chunyu Yue was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Now the people of Xianyang are in a fierce mood and want to capture the Huns. The Huns are guilty of committing lawlessness, and the people of Xianyang are also guilty of gathering to make trouble. This... veteran... veteran is here to invite Your Majesty decides."
Ying Zheng sighed: "Dr. Chunyu cares about the people, and he is indeed true to his words. How are the people? Are there any casualties?"
Chunyu Yue said: "According to the steward, there were no dead people, but a few people were seriously injured."
Ying Zheng nodded, suddenly looked solemn, and said: "No matter whether anyone died or not, the Huns dared to cause such a thing in Xianyang City, which is tantamount to conspiracy. The people of Xianyang are eager for justice and resisted foreign humiliation, which is a meritorious service! As for the The crime of gathering a crowd to cause trouble can be canceled out. Order Zhao Teng to give them a lecture. If they commit another crime in the future, they will be punished for both crimes."
Then, Ying Zheng said with a majestic look: "Huai Guzi, I order you to join Li Xin in leading troops to capture the Huns and escort them to the palace immediately."
Li Shui immediately responded.
Chunyu Yue thought from the side: With Li Xin? When that guy meets the Huns, he may really be killed or injured.
He originally wanted to remind Ying Zheng that Mao Dun was still useful, and he had to check and balance Sha Tilie, so he could never kill him. But now that he was at fault, he didn't dare to say anything. He could only sigh and follow Li Shui out.
As soon as the two people came out of the palace, they saw Li Xin waiting outside with a shining sword. He asked Li Shui excitedly: "How is it? Has your Majesty's order been issued?"
