When dusk fell on Jiuyuan City, Wang Li came back.
Fusu couldn't wait to meet Li Fu before he could find him.
"Wang Li is back?"
"came back."
"What's the emergency, eldest son?"
"Come with me and see if that thing is the best ore that my brother Hao said!"
"oh?"
Wang Li's eyes lit up: "Have you discovered a new mineral vein? Let's go and have a look!"
Soon, the two of them arrived at Fusu's tent.
On the desk that Fusu often used, there were a few crystal objects like pigeon eggs, shining brightly in the candlelight.
"this"
Wang Li's eyes widened, he carefully picked up a crystal object, and murmured: "Could this be the diamond that the young master mentioned?"
"Yes, this object is indeed exactly the same as the diamond described by Hao Di! I also specially tested its hardness. It is comparable to diamond, and even a sword cannot damage it!" Fusu nodded with a smile.
Wang Li said happily, "Then let's get it! It's said that this diamond is worth a lot of money!"
"Hahaha, why are you like Brother Hao, always thinking about making money!"
Fusu raised his head and smiled, and then educated Wang Li: "Have you never thought that if such hard ore is used in other ways, it might be beneficial to our Great Qin?"
"Anyway, Young Master proposed this thing. He knows its uses best. Let's just tell him the good news and let him arrange it." Wang Li muttered a little embarrassed.
Fusu smiled and said: "It just so happens that there has been no news from Xianyang for a long time, and I can't return to Xianyang. How about you make a trip for me and help me deliver these diamonds to Brother Hao?"
"ah?"
Wang Li was slightly surprised, as if he hadn't reacted yet: "Eldest Young Master, you want me to return to Xianyang for you?"
"That's right! Father only said that I couldn't go back to Xianyang unless I was called, but he didn't say that he wouldn't let you go back. It's just right for you to go back for me!"
"and."
As he said that, Fusu couldn't help but show a sad look: "I also want to know my father's attitude. Why did he make such a decision even though he had already affirmed me before?"
"But."
Wang Li said with a tangled look on his face: "Don't you need to discuss this matter with General Meng?"
"I'll discuss it with you first. If you agree, it won't be too late to find General Meng." Fu Su said.
Wang Li thought for a moment and then said, "I just heard from Li Yi that Li Fu came to see you again?"
"Um?"
Fusu frowned and said with some displeasure: "When did this Li Yi become so arrogant?"
"The eldest son misunderstood. Brother Li is not to blame for this. I forced him to tell me."
"you"
Fusu widened his eyes and wanted to reprimand Wang Li, but finally shook his head helplessly and waved his hands: "Forget it, I don't blame you. I know you are all caring about me. In fact, I am nothing, you don't have to worry. .”
With that said, he walked to the desk, picked up an envelope, handed it to Wang Lida and said, "This is the letter from Hu Hai sent by Li Fu. He said that my father often mentioned me, the elder, during his eastern tour." Brother, in the future he will learn more from my eldest brother and ask me to refine a good steel sword for him. He will start learning swordsmanship."
"Hu Hai's letter to the eldest son?"
Wang Li took the letter in surprise: "Why did he remember to write to the eldest son?"
"I don't know either"
Fusu shook his head and said thoughtfully: "But this note is indeed Hu Hai's note."
"The eldest son has seen Hu Hai's notes?"
Wang Li asked Fusu curiously while reading Hu Hai's letters.
Fusu said with a smile: "When my father was busy in the past, I would help him check the schoolwork of my younger brothers and sisters. Zongzheng Mansion was only responsible for collecting it."
"I see."
Wang Li suddenly realized something, and suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Have the eldest son checked Mr. Hao's homework?"
"he"
Fusu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't checked it yet."
"Why? Didn't Young Master Hao go to class before?"
"It's not that I don't have classes, that's just..."
Fusu was embarrassed to say that his father had forgotten Zhao Hao, his son, and had not asked about his studies, so he changed the subject and said, "Actually, Hu Hai is a poor child just like Hao brother."
"His mother abandoned him shortly after giving birth to him."
"Therefore, he has always been indifferent to family affection. After all, from birth to growing up, he has never had mother's love or father's love. The only ones who can be regarded as relatives are his wet nurse and what every prince has. mentoring teacher."
"Before he was five years old, Hu Hai was taken care of by his wet nurse. Then when he was seven years old, he came into his father's sight for the first time at a family dinner that his father accidentally organized. He fell in love with him. Later, he fell in love with him. It’s become what it is now.”
"Although my father has many children, Hu Hai never communicates with us, and there is not much family happiness between brothers and sisters. They are strangers to each other and are like passers-by."
"Among all the brothers and sisters, except for me, the other princes cannot recognize their own flesh and blood compatriots, and the same goes for Hu Hai."
Hearing this, Wang Li couldn't help but frowned and asked doubtfully: "Since Hu Hai is so unfamiliar with his brothers and sisters, why did he suddenly write to the eldest son?"
Hearing this, Fusu smiled and shook his head, and said helplessly:
"This boy has always been very clever. I'm afraid he found some clues from his father and deliberately tried to establish a brotherly relationship with me, the eldest brother."
He knew that Hu Hai had always admired Ying Zheng and wanted to be like Ying Zheng.
Hu Hai will do whatever Ying Zheng likes without hesitation. Even if he doesn't like it, he will force himself to like it in order to please Ying Zheng.
And if Ying Zheng doesn't like something, he will give up decisively, and even hate it.
This is also the reason why Ying Zheng likes Hu Hai.
"Then how will the eldest son respond to Hu Hai?"
"Anyway, Hu Hai is also my younger brother. Since he takes the initiative to show his kindness, as the eldest brother, I naturally have to meet his needs!"
After saying that, Fusu patted Wang Li on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Go find Huang Gong later and ask him to help Hu Hai build a good steel sword!"
"This" Wang Li curled his lips reluctantly, and then muttered angrily: "The eldest son is tolerant and courteous. He really deserves his reputation."
"You kid still knows how to tease me. Do you agree with what I just told you?"
"How dare you disagree with the eldest son's orders?"
"What the hell!" Fusu uttered a rare curse word, then patted Wang Li on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and prepare some gifts for my brother Hao."
"Tsk tsk tsk"
Wang Li smacked his lips angrily and said: "We are also younger brothers, so Hu Hai would never get this kind of treatment in his wildest dreams."
"You boy"
Fusu shook his head helplessly, and was about to take Wang Li out of the door, but suddenly he heard a report coming from outside the door: "Your Majesty, General Meng has invited me for something urgent!"
"Um?"
Fusu and Wang Li looked at each other, and the latter said solemnly: "What's the matter?"
"It is said that the emperor's envoy has arrived."
"Hey!"
Wang Li lost his temper: "This bastard Li Fu will never end, right?"
"Wang Li is not allowed to be rude!"
Fusu's face darkened.
"No, eldest son."
"Okay, since General Meng is looking for us, we will go to General Meng's place first."
After saying this, Fusu left the military tent.
"Why!"
Wang Li sighed dejectedly and followed him.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Meng Tian's military tent.
"Fusu has met Duke Meng!"
"I have met the eldest son!"
Fusu and Mengtian bowed politely as soon as they met.
Wang Li, who was following behind, was not so polite and said bluntly: "General, what does Li Fu want to do?"
"Li Fu?"
Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fusu with some confusion: "What does he want to do?"
Meng Tian knew about Li Fu's previous visit to Fusu, so when Wang Li mentioned Li Fu, he subconsciously thought of it.
However, Fusu asked Meng Tian with a strange expression: "Didn't you say that the emperor's special envoy is here?"
"oh."
Meng Tian suddenly realized, then shook his head and said: "The emperor's special envoy is not Li Fu, but Yan Le!"
"Yan Le?"
Fusu and Wang Li were stunned at the same time.
After a long while, Wang Li said in surprise: "How did Yan Le become the emperor's special envoy? Isn't he the chariot chariot of Young Master Hao?"
"I don't know much about this matter, so I sent someone to invite the eldest son to discuss it."
"this"
Wang Li was speechless and couldn't help turning his head to look at Fusu.
Fusu frowned and raised his hand to Meng Tian again: "How dare you ask Mr. Meng for advice!"
"Eldest Young Master, do you still remember what happened last time?"
Meng Tian said: "Logically speaking, the emperor has already sent a special envoy to Jiuyuan before, and the special envoy is stationed in Jiuyuan and has not returned to reply. Your Majesty should not send another special envoy. However, it has only been three months, and there is a new one." The special envoy is here, it’s really strange.”
"Well, it's really strange."
Wang Li nodded with approval.
Fusu glanced at him and said, "In Duke Meng's opinion, is there any connection between this special envoy and the previous one?"
"We are not familiar with Li Fu, but Yan Le"
Meng Tian said, thought about it for a moment, and said seriously: "The most important thing at the moment is this edict. The veteran speculated that there should be a big change in Xianyang. The veteran said frankly: Your Majesty, maybe something happened!"
"What Duke Meng means is"
"This is a mixed blessing!"
Meng Tian narrowed his eyes and said:
"If something really happened to the emperor, based on the emperor's clear judgment on the future affairs, there are two people who can be candidates for the throne. One, naturally it is the eldest son who is far away in Jiuyuan, and two, it is very likely that he is the amazing and talented son Hao. , only in this way can Great Qin safely survive the crisis of the transition between the old and the new!"
"Of course, this is only the happy aspect, there is also worry."
"this"
Fusu and Wang Li looked at each other and said in deep thought: "Could it be that Duke Meng is worried that our father did not choose us?"
"Hard to say"
Meng Tian shook his head bitterly and sighed: "Except for the eldest son and Young Master Hao, I really can't think of anyone who can succeed the emperor."
In fact, he had a lot to say to Fusu, including asking Fusu to take the initiative to fight for that seat.
But after Li Fu's incident, there was already a gap between him and Fusu. If Fusu was allowed to do something he didn't like to do again, it would most likely deepen the conflict between him and Fusu.
Therefore, he would not encourage Fusu to fight for the position unless absolutely necessary.
Seeing Meng Tian's words fall, Fu Su remained silent. Wang Li on the side suddenly spoke:
"In my opinion, it shouldn't be that complicated. The emperor's special envoy this time is from Gongzi Hao. It's probably because Gongzi Hao was appointed as the crown prince and wanted to reassure us that he sent Yan Le, whom we all know, here."
"this"
Meng Tian and Fu Su looked at each other, but neither spoke.
It's not that they don't believe that Zhao Hao will be established as the crown prince by Ying Zheng, but they have restrained such thoughts after experiencing the Li Fu incident.
After all, the edict brought by Li Fu greatly exceeded their expectations.
They were afraid that the edict brought by Yan Le this time would be the same, so they did not take the lead in taking a stand.
After a while, the atmosphere became more and more awkward, and Meng Tian sighed meaningfully: "I hope so."
Wang Li didn't know what Meng Tian and Fu Su were really thinking, so he thought to himself and asked, "Then when will we go to receive the order?"
"I have ordered someone to arrange the emperor's special envoy to the post house. He can go to receive the order tomorrow!"
"oh?"
Wang Li raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but said: "Is it the post house where Li Fu is?"
"Exactly!"
"Hahaha, I'm quite curious about what kind of sparks the old and new emperor's envoys will create."
"."
Fusu and Mengtian were both embarrassed.
Wang Li didn't care about this. He was young and energetic, and he looked down on Li Fu with all his heart.
However, when he thought that his good brother could become the prince, he was happier than anyone else.
"Eldest Young Master, do you still want to prepare gifts? I will also prepare some Mobei specialties for Young Master! He must have never eaten those giant rats that come out of the soil and howl."
"this"
Fusu raised his hand to his forehead and was about to take Wang Li away, but he heard Meng Tian say in confusion: "What gift are you preparing?"
"Oh, it's like this. The eldest son has discovered a new mineral vein and wants me to go back to Xianyang and bring it to Young Master Hao. It is said that this mineral vein is worth a lot of money, more valuable than gold!"
Wang Li explained with a smile.
"More valuable than gold? Are you serious?"
Meng Tian said in surprise.
Fusu smiled and nodded: "Brother Hao told me this. I'm afraid only he knows the specific value best."
"That's true. Young Master Hao is well-informed and may be able to help us, Da Qin."
Meng Tian nodded in approval, and then said with emotion: "Great Qin is so lucky to have Young Master Hao!"
"hehe."
Hearing Meng Tian's sigh, Fusu smiled happily. If Brother Hao becomes the prince, General Meng's heart knot should also be opened.
At the same time, Jiuyuan City Post House.
Yan Le looked at Li Fu expressionlessly, and Li Fu also looked at Yan Le with a solemn expression.
Neither of them spoke.
It wasn't until it was dark outside and there was no movement at all that Li Fu couldn't help but say, "Are you really the special envoy sent by the emperor?"
"Why, you are a special envoy sent by the emperor, and you are not an envoy?" Yan Le sneered.
"How presumptuous! Who are you, how dare you speak to me like this?"
"What is my identity, and what is your identity?"
"you!"
Li Fu was furious and was about to get angry when he suddenly saw Yan Le standing up. He was a head taller than him. His complexion turned from red to sallow, then from sallow to iron-green, and then from iron-green to white.
"Have you eaten?"
