The air in the entire tent almost froze!
No one expected that Fusu would actually say that.
Zhao Gao, who was at the side, even ignored the etiquette and almost scolded, saying
“Duke Fusu! Be careful what you say!”
You must know that the conscription of the people and the building of the Great Wall were decided by Emperor Qin Shi Huang himself.
If Fusu attributed the reason to the conscription of the people, he would be blaming Qin Shi Huang!
Qin Shi Huang’s face was as black as ink, and the anger in his eyes was almost ready to burst out, but he still spoke with hatred.
“Go on!”
Fu Su had already expected such a situation and said, with his face unchanged
“Father, the Xiongnu’s people have crossed the Great Wall with a thousand hors*men, and although there are few people along the way, there are always woodcutters and peasants.”
“Even if the Xiongnu are murderous, there will always be people who notice, but none of them will give warning!”
“These thousand were not discovered until just before the Great General’s military tent.”
“This is clear evidence that the people of the North have long been exhausted!”
Hearing these words, Meng Tian’s expression could not help but move slightly.
The anger in Qin Shi Huang’s eyes also receded slightly, but his face became more and more gloomy.
Fu Su continued at this point, saying
“Father, now that the remnants of the six kingdoms are still in existence, and the incident in Liaodong can prove it, if we continue to tire the people.”
“The remnants of the Six Kingdoms will certainly be secretly inciting and using this to build up their strength.”
“If there is a slight instability in our Great Qin, they will take the opportunity to rise up!”
“As my son said, if the people’s hearts are in turmoil, even if we have a million soldiers, we will not be able to return to Heaven!”
After Fu Su finished speaking, a silence fell over the military tent.
No one dared to speak first.
Meng Tian even did not even look at Qin Shi Huang.
Even Win Yin Man, who was at Qin Shi Huang’s side, was stiff and did not dare to move.
Only Zhao Gao gave Qin Shi Huang a covert glance at this time, but guessed a few things about his mind.
Duke Fusu, this time he had really angered His Majesty.
If anyone else had said such words, he would have been razed by three clans!
Everyone was waiting for Qin Shi Huang’s reaction.
Qin Shi Huang looked coldly at Fusu in the scene, but his heart was chilled.
Only after a long moment did he wave his hand indifferently and say.
“All right, I know, you all should leave.”
Hearing these words, the people in the army were stunned, they thought that Qin Shi Huang would be furious.
For even they had anger in their hearts when they heard these words.
Fu Su also froze for a moment, he was all prepared to meet the anger of
“Father, my son’s intention…”
“Stand down!”
Without waiting for Fu Su to finish, Qin Shi Huang let out a cold cry to.
Fu Su could only salute and answer.
“My son excuses himself.”
Hu Hai, Gao and Ying Yin Man followed suit and retired.
Several people walked outside the military tent.
Hu Hai was more and more proud of himself, as he was always the one who was being short-changed, but this time, he was the one who was praised.
How could he not be proud of himself?
“Hey, hey, the two brothers are really favoured, if I dare to run away, Father will definitely beat me to death.”
“But Father didn’t even scold you guys this time, I really envy you guys.”
Hu Hai was still trying to get the better of him, when he was interrupted by Win Yin Man glaring at
“You want to get beaten up, don’t you? I’ll make it happen!”
“Hey! I’m two hundred and fifty now! If you do it again! I’m going to tell Brother Long!”
“Don’t you dare!”
The two men scuffled away.
Gongzi Gao looked at Fusu and left without saying anything.
Fu Su looked at Hu Hai’s back as he left, and a rare jealousy rose in his heart.
In fact, he would have preferred that every time he did something wrong, Qin Shi Huang could have scolded him as he had done to Hu Hai.
Instead of a cold rebuke.
Sticks hurt the body, but the body always recovers.
But words break the heart, and the heart is hard to restore.
In fact, he respected his father so much that he was willing to die if he could!
But why?
Why was his father so indifferent to him?
He looked back at the military tent once more before Fusu left in misery.
At that moment, inside the military tent, Qin Shi Huang closed his eyes somewhat wearily.
Zhao Gao at this point persuaded to
“Your Majesty, don’t be angry, Gongzi Fusu was only momentarily…”
Qin Shi Huang held his forehead with one hand and waved his other hand to stop Zhao Gao from speaking.
In fact, he was not angry because of Fusu’s admonition.
As emperor, he had been advised by his ministers more often than not. Which of those Confucian scholars did not scold him for being a tyrant!
Moreover, he knew that Fu Su was not entirely wrong, as he had also spoken about this issue when he had submitted a petition before.
But the problem was that Fusu was too narrow-minded and short-sighted!
More importantly, Fusu didn’t see him as a father, but as a tyrant!
A corrupt scholar has misjudged my son!
When he thought of this, Qin Shi Huang felt more and more tired and
“I am tired.”
At the side, Meng Tian had long wanted to push Zhao Lang in his heart, but it was not good enough to ask him now.
Along with this, he had developed a bit of sarcasm towards these imperial sons.
“Your Majesty, then I will also take my leave.”
After saluting, Meng Tian also led his men to leave.
Inside the military tent, only Zhao Gao and Qin Shi Huang were left at once.
“Your Majesty, then Gongzi Lang’s side…”
Zhao Gao could know that Qin Shi Huang had come to Yunzhong County this time not only for Meng Tian and Fusu and the others.
Moreover, before coming, all the arrangements had already been made, so that a curtain would be hung when the time came and people would be allowed to pass on the message, so that it would not be revealed.
Qin Shi Huang sighed slightly, he didn’t want to see Zhao Lang like this.
“Let’s do it tomorrow.”
Zhao Gao could only answer yes.
At this point, after leaving the military tent, Meng Tian asked his own guards, to guard the perimeter and to designate this half of the camp as a restricted area straight away.
If Emperor Qin Shi Huang lost a single hair here, even if he was a great general, he would not be able to hold his own.
After this was done, it was already late afternoon.
Suddenly Meng Tian thought of something and said to the guards at one side that
“Where is Zhao Lang now?”
“General Zhao has been waiting outside for a long time.”
“Take me there.”
Soon, Meng Tian was inside a military tent and saw Zhao Lang.
“Greetings, Great General.”
Zhao Lang was a little baffled at this point, having been brought here by the summoned soldiers, he couldn’t go anywhere.
There were still people watching outside.
Meng Tian nodded his head, he could not say much about what happened today.
“Well, there is nothing more to do today, you can go back first.”
Zhao Lang belted out a couple of words, but his face was smiling as he said
“Then the last general will continue to go on his inspection.”
Looking at Zhao Lang’s calm appearance, Meng Tian’s heart grew more and more respectful and he smiled and said.
“Go ahead, but over at the camp, you should not patrol.”
Meng Tian pointed to the direction that he had blocked off.
At once Zhao Lang returned and
“The last general obeys orders.”
Then he left the place.
He could guess that a big man must have come.
But he wasn’t curious, he just wanted to live out the months in peace and quiet now.
Then go back to see his old man.
That was the business.
Of course, it would be nice if that Ohio kid could use his connections and get him back early.
Everything else is secondary.
What is more important than one’s own life?
Zhao Long quickly rejoined Xi and the few others, mounted his horse, and set off on his rounds with a few others in tow.
He also found an unoccupied place to talk to Xi and the others about the plan to go to Jiu Yuan County afterwards.
The plan to infiltrate the spider web was to be made before it was too late.
Soon, several people were far away from the camp.
This inspection took place in the late afternoon, and Zhao Lang led the men slowly back to the
“Hei, this is the general plan, you guys…”
Only before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Lang suddenly froze, his eyes staring ahead.
Rubbing his eyes, he seemed a little incredulous, but he quickly shouted to
“Father!?”
