Hearing the summons, Fusu was about to enter, but was stopped dead in his tracks by Hu Hai, who waited for Zhao Lang to go first before getting stuck in front of the other side.
All the way into the palace with his toes in the air.
At the entrance to the palace, he encountered Gao.
Very self-consciously, he went behind Fusu.
Several people were led outside the palace by attendants.
After an extremely formal briefing, several people entered the palace and everything was extremely disciplined.
It was Hu Hai who kept his eyes on Zhao Lang’s feet, watching which foot of the other man went in first, before he followed suit.
At this moment, Qin Shi Huang was sitting at the top, with Zhao Gao standing at one side.
“My son has met Father!”
Several people bowed at the same time, and Zhao Lang did not make any special move.
It was only after some rituals that Qin Shi Huang slowly said that
“All have only just returned, how are things going lately?”
Naturally, he was aware of the condition of most of the imperial sons, he was just looking for a reason to do so.
Hearing the question, Zhao Lang didn’t say anything, he had already said pretty much everything about the situation before.
Hu Hai wanted to speak with great enthusiasm, but was preempted by Fusu, who was ready to speak at one side.
“Father, my son heard the news at the frontier and was extremely worried about you, it is good that you are alright.”
The emperor nodded his head, looked at the frost-stained Fusu and nodded.
“Good, Meng Tian has also told me that you are doing quite well at the frontier.”
Fu Su did not hold himself out at the frontier to oppress the ordinary soldiers.
On the contrary, he was kind to people and was not badly liked.
Although he sometimes had some minor conflicts with other people because he stuck to his principles, it was normal.
In the army, how can there be a peace of mind?
Meng Tian himself said that even without his status as a royal son, Fusu could have made it to the rank of general of a thousand men himself.
This was not an easy task.
Therefore, he was quite satisfied with Fusu’s performance this time.
It was not a waste of time to follow Zhao Lang for so long.
Hearing Qin Shi Huang’s praise, a hint of joy surfaced on Fu Su’s face!
Ever since he could remember, it seemed that his father had never given him a good look and had always been extremely strict.
Even if he was better than children of his age, he would only get a cold sentence about having to continue to strengthen, and then nothing more.
And now, his father had actually praised him!
He quickly pushed down his pride, he had more important things to do today!
Fu Su looked solemn and said.
“Thank you, Father, but I have one more thing to tell you!”
Qin Shi Huang was still in a good mood at this time and said that
“Speak, what is it?”
Fu Su walked straight out at this time and said, in the manner of advising
“My son advises that the Crown Prince, Ying Lang, is a brutal person!”
“Although he defeated the Goguryeo army in Liaodong, afterwards he joined the Hu people and sold the whole army into slavery!”
“And now he is holding the Lord of Goguryeo hostage, and he is causing trouble in Goguryeo!”
Fu Su told them all what he had seen on the frontier and what he had heard.
Finally, he said with a bit of sorrow and anger.
“Father, nowadays, the countries in the North are all spreading the name of my Qin’s tyranny!”
“If everyone takes the Great Qin as an enemy, the Great Qin is in danger!”
After hearing Fu Su’s words, Qin Shi Huang’s face was already blue, and seeing this scene, Hu Hai, who was on the side, directly hid behind Zhao Lang.
Because he knew too well that this was a prelude to Qin Shi Huang’s intention to beat someone up.
Luckily, Qin Shi Huang did not make a move this time, and it was only after a while that Qin Shi Huang said with a cold face.
“Long’er, is it true at this point?”
Hearing the question, Gao at the side looked at Zhao Lang with some glee.
The reputation of the Great Qin was still very important.
It was not like some small countries that went back on their word or did something evil and did it.
If a big country does not have a reputation, then it can be bad on the border.
Otherwise the other countries are not stupid and sometimes there is a price to pay for a good reputation.
Zhao Long directly sold a country’s defeated army, all into an effort, which was too bad an act.
Then next time, all the other small countries fighting with the Great Qin will fight to the death!
Because if they lose, they will be sold into slavery!
In this way, Great Qin would actually have to increase its consumption quite a lot.
In the face of questioning, Zhao Lang said with extreme blandness that
“Father, this is indeed the case.”
When he heard Zhao Lang call out to his father, Qin Shi Huang was still slightly uncomfortable, still calling him father made him feel comfortable.
“Why did you do so?”
Because in the overall picture and in the long run, Fusu’s concerns were not all unreasonable.
Zhao Lang returned at this point and said
“Father, do you still remember what you said when my son led his men to gallop to the aid of Liaodong?”
Qin Shi Huang glanced at Fusu and said that
“I said that nowadays, the Great Qin has no troops and no food, so it all depends on you.”
Zhao Lang nodded his head and said back that
“When my son arrived in Liaodong, the army was only 20,000 strong, while the Goguryeo army was over 100,000 strong!”
“And the Great Wall guards were all wiped out by 2,000 Yu men!”
“The people of Liaodong are in deep water and fire!”
“My son, I would like to ask Fusu, if the people of Goguryeo are pitiful, aren’t the people of my Great Qin pitiful!”
These words made Fusu’s face red, not out of shame, but out of anger!
When did he say that he didn’t care about the people of the Great Qin!
What he said was that Zhao Lang was too brutal!
Just how could Zhao Lang give Fu Su the chance to speak at this time?
Continuing, he said
“Father, after my son has defeated Goguryeo with great pains and losses, the Chu rebellion has attacked again!”
“I have no choice but to bring my troops to their aid.”
“But the total number of troops in Liaodong is less than 20,000, and I have to take 10,000 away, leaving 10,000 men to guard nearly 60,000 prisoners? How is this possible?”
“And there is no food in Liaodong, so I can’t guard them either.”
“If we put them back, what if the other side comes back with a vengeance? Do the people of Liaodong deserve to suffer?”
“So my son could only hand these people over to the Hu people and did not make any money deals.”
“Just took some cattle and sheep from the Hu people.”
“The total price was only forty to fifty thousand in gold, and my son also took it all to settle the people.”
Listening to Zhao Lang’s words, Qin Shi Huang’s face slowly eased, and when he finally heard the forty to fifty thousand in gold, his eyes lit up even more.
This battle, so profitable?
Fu Su’s face turned blue as he listened, and then pursued the question that
“Then what do you mean by sending people to Goguryeo territory?”
“Do you know that the whole of Goguryeo is now in ruins? Even if they were to destroy the country, they should not be so cruel!”
Zhao Lang ignored the other side and said directly to the other Qin Shi Huang.
“Father, there is a rebellion within Goguryeo, and it was the Lord of Goguryeo who took the initiative to ask my son to put down the rebellion.”
“Look, here is the letter of state.”
After saying this, Zhao Lang took out from his arms the cloth and silk that he had previously asked the Lord of Goguryeo to sign and delivered it to Qin Shi Huang.
After a slight glance, Qin Shi Huang couldn’t help but blush a little.
Even though he had been made a tyrant, at most he would only destroy his country.
But what Zhao Lang did, as long as the Great Qin remained, was to make Goguryeo never recover!
