Yong Temple.
The palace where Fusu lived.
At this time, in a side hall, Fusu Duan was sitting on the mat. Not far below him, there was a man as fat as a gourd.
This man has a fair complexion, a fat face, and no appearance of energy at all.
Looking at the graceful and handsome man in front of him, Fusu couldn't help but tease: "Zhang Yushi, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are a bit thinner than usual."
Zhang Cang smiled awkwardly.
He said:
"The eldest son is joking."
"Xiaguan has been born fair and fat since he was born. He also likes sweets and never taboos. Even if he wants to lose weight, he doesn't know where to start."
"Master, please don't use such words to flatter me."
Fusu laughed loudly and did not say much about Zhang Cang's figure. He went straight to the point: "Zhang Yushi, the reason why I called you here this time is mainly because I have doubts in my heart and I want Zhang Yushi to help me solve my doubts."
Zhang Cang's heart condensed and he said: "Master, please tell me. If the subordinate knows, I will tell you everything I know."
Fusu nodded, looked around, and said what he had thought about in his mind, "I went to the Imperial Palace yesterday to visit my younger brother. In prison, I heard the words of a criminal, This man was originally a nobleman of the Yan Kingdom and will be killed in fourteen days. While in prison, he does not think that he was convicted for slander, but that he was 'harmed' by me."
"I'm very confused about this. I thought about it all night last night and couldn't figure out the reason."
"That's why I invited you here to answer my questions."
Hear the words.
Zhang Cang glanced at Fusu suspiciously and said, "There are so many nonsense words in the world, why should the young master bother with all this?"
"Since this person has been sentenced to death, he must have great resentment towards the court. The young master has a good reputation in the past. These remnants of the Six Kingdoms cannot see the peace of the court. They will try every means to destroy the stability of the court and discredit the young master. List."
"Young Master is really worrying too much."
"What if what he said is true?" Fusu said.
Zhang Cang was stunned for a moment.
But he still said patiently: "Master, why did you say this?"
"The crimes of the Confucian scholars, alchemists, and remnants of the Six Kingdoms who were framed and killed have already been listed, and they were made public as early as half a year ago."
"If they really have objections, how can they not beg for help? Now that the verdict has been decided and their death is getting closer and closer, these people will inevitably stop talking nonsense when they are in panic. Why should you take it seriously?"
Fusu smiled bitterly and said on his forehead: "What Zhang Yushi said is absolutely true."
"I didn't take it seriously at first, but when I thought about it carefully later, I felt that what this person said made sense, but I couldn't figure out the specific truth for a while, so I wanted Zhang Yushi to come and clear up my doubts."
"Young Master..." Zhang Cang's expression darkened.
Fusu waved his hand to stop Zhang Cang's persuasion.
He said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yushi, please be patient and let me tell you what this person said. It will not be too late for Zhang Yushi to argue again."
immediately.
Fusu briefly repeated what Ji Heng had said yesterday.
Zhang Cang frowned.
He was not interested in what the criminal had to say.
But when Fusu said that this person pointed out that the most difficult problems in Daqin at the moment were the 'failure of the heads of Guizhou' and the 'chaos of the old nobles', he couldn't help but nodded secretly, with a little more recognition in his eyes, but he didn't care.
This man was born into a noble family of the Yan Kingdom and was a law-breaker. It was only normal to have this kind of consciousness.
When he heard this person's speculation and Fusu's words, the First Emperor was angry, happy and worried, his face couldn't help but change. And after hearing this person's follow-up, he boldly predicted that Fusu would soon be sent to northern Xinjiang to follow him. When Meng Tian worked with him, his expression changed even more.
When I heard this person say that the First Emperor would change his thinking and use Confucianism to balance the conflict between Guanzhong and Guandong, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
"Zhang Yushi, Zhang Yushi..."
Fusu's voice reached his ears again.
Only then did Zhang Cang wake up from his shock. He nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face extremely pale.
Seeing Zhang Cang's frightened and uneasy expression, Fusu's heart suddenly sank, and he realized that Zhang Cang had heard the implication of the words, that's why he acted so panicked.
"Zhang Yushi, now do you think there is some truth to what this man said, 'Fusu is the murderer'?"
Zhang Cang looked around nervously, as if he was in shock. After a long time, he stood up from the case, bowed deeply, and said solemnly: "Master, I would like to ask, what is this person's name? What is his name?" Have you ever told a third person about your remarks? And...Your Majesty, does your Majesty know this?"
He did not answer directly, but asked about Fusu.
Fusu's face darkened, his expression became more and more puzzled, and he asked: "Yu Shi Zhang, why do you ask these questions?"
Zhang Cang bowed and said, "Master, please give me an answer."
Fusu hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth: "This person's name is Ji Heng. He is from Jicheng and was originally a nobleman of the Yan Kingdom. Apart from the few people present at the time, you are the only one who said what he said."
"As for your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty naturally knows that too."
"Are his words really that powerful?"
"Making you restless?"
Zhang Cang smiled bitterly.
Not only was he restless, he was clearly feeling like a thorn in his back.
What Ji Heng said seemed to be accusing Fusu of "harming" him, but there was actually a deeper meaning behind the words.
It was the First Emperor who was explaining his funeral affairs!
Zhang Cang stepped on the sweat stains on the ground with his feet, suppressed the panic in his heart, and asked nervously: "Young Master, Your Majesty... Did Your Majesty express any dissatisfaction with his words?"
Fusu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Never."
Hear the words.
Zhang Cang slowly raised his head, looked at Fusu resentfully, and said with a mournful face: "Young Master, you have caused me great harm."
Fusu was startled.
The whole person was stunned.
Ji Heng said it was because of him, and now Zhang Cang also said the same.
But when did he harm them?
Fusu asked: "Zhang Yushi, please explain clearly first. Why did I harm you?"
Zhang Cang sighed softly and said with full of grievance: "Sir, you are always so smart, why are you so confused on this matter?"
"Although this person didn't say it directly, his words were very explicit."
"Young Master, as you said before, His Majesty did not express too much dissatisfaction with these remarks. This shows that Your Majesty actually recognizes this person's opinions and views. Young Master, please think about it carefully. Haven't you found out what he said? The overtone?"
Listening to Zhang Cang's complaints, Fusu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He really didn't understand the pronunciation of the words.
See this.
Zhang Cang reminded in a low voice:
"Sir, you are the one who has lost your mind."
"This person is nodding at you every time, and even mentions you by name."
"It's just that you may have misunderstood, Master."
"This person's words do not treat the young master as the eldest son at all."
"But he has another identity!"
"Is there another identity? I'm not the eldest son, what else can I be?" Fusu looked confused.
Zhang Cang was also a little anxious.
He looked around anxiously and uneasily to make sure there was no one around. Then he hurriedly picked up the corner of his clothes, crept up to Fusu, and whispered: "In this person's discussion, you are no longer the eldest son, but the eldest son." The Crown Prince of Qin."
"Qin II!!!"
