Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 108 Fusu’s performance satisfied Ying Zheng! Ying Zheng and Zhang Han guessed that there was an expert helping Fusu?
"Your Majesty has a lot of smiles on his face these days."

"The general also thinks that your majesty is in a good mood these days."

Zhang Han said with a smile on his face. He has been by His Majesty's side for many years.

I know His Majesty very well, when His Majesty retired from court and returned to his study.

His brows are often furrowed and his face is sometimes ugly. During this period, His Majesty returned to the study.

With a faint smile on his face, Zhang Han also felt that His Majesty was very relaxed during this period.

The smile on Ying Zheng's face grew deeper when he heard Zhang Han's words. Zhang Han was not only his personal general.

He is also one of Ying Zheng's most trusted ministers. Ying Zheng occasionally chats with Zhang Han when he has nothing to do.

"Since Zhang Han, you can see that I am in a good mood these days, why do you think I am in a good mood these days?"

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han, a strange light flashed on his face.

"Your Majesty, you are finally stupid."

"General, I think your Majesty is in a good mood these days."

"First of all, the problem of empty national treasury has been solved, and there is already enough money in the national treasury."

"Secondly, Your Majesty has reduced the taxes on the people, and the people have a greater sense of belonging to the Qin Dynasty."

"General, I occasionally hear some news. Now many people in the city are very grateful to Your Majesty."

"There is another reason why Your Majesty is happy. It must be the implementation of the imperial examination system."

"Although I am a military general, I also know the power of the imperial examination system."

"The implementation of the imperial examination system can select many talents for Da Qin."

Zhang Han looked at His Majesty and expressed his thoughts.

"Zhang Han, you really did not disappoint me. You said it very well."

"These reasons really put me in a good mood, but you missed one of the most important ones."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han with a smile on his face.

"This general is stupid, please make it clear, Your Majesty!"

When Zhang Han heard Ying Zheng's words, he raised his hands and saluted with a trace of confusion on his face.

"What I am most happy about during this period of time is Fusu's changes during this period."

"In the past, Fusu often contradicted others in court and had opposite opinions."

"Fusu seems to have become a different person in the court during these days. Every time he comes out, the suggestions he makes are in line with everyone's wishes."

"First, it opposed the return of those people from the six countries to their homeland, and later it solved the problem of empty national treasury that has been plaguing the few."

"Afterwards, the imperial examination system was proposed to select talents for the Qin Dynasty."

"Fusu's performance is what makes me most happy."

When Ying Zheng mentioned Fusu, there was a trace of satisfaction on his face.

When Fu Su was very young, Ying Zheng had high expectations for him.

But Fusu gradually began to disappoint him, and later he repeatedly contradicted him in the court.

Fusu's performance during this period made Ying Zheng look at Fusu with admiration.

Ying Zheng was very happy to see this scene. As his eldest son, this is how Fusu should behave.

"Master Fusu has always been very good. He may have been affected by some bad influences before."

"But now Mr. Fusu knows how to solve your majesty's troubles, and the general is also happy for your majesty."

Zhang Han also had a hint of respect on his face when he mentioned Fusu.

He was also very aware of Fusu's performance during this period, and Fusu made several suggestions for His Majesty.

Zhang Han was very impressed. Zhang Han would never have thought of such a suggestion.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard Zhang Han's words. After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and said:
"Zhang Han, have you heard a rumor in the past few days? Some ministers suspect that Fusu has changed so much during this period."

"Including the suggestions Fusu made to me in the court, they were all guided by experts behind them."

"Otherwise, Fusu would not have proposed collecting taxes from the gentry and nobles and implementing the imperial examination system to select talents after such a big change."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, there was a serious look on his face. Zhang Han was stunned for a moment when he heard the First Emperor's words. He quickly reacted and looked at the First Emperor and said:
"The general has also heard that some ministers are discussing the changes in Mr. Fusu during this period."

"Your Majesty met Mr. Fusu a few days ago. I remember that your Majesty mentioned General Meng Yi at that time."

"If there is an expert behind Mr. Fusu, it must be General Meng Yi."

Zhang Han looked at the First Emperor and mentioned Meng Yi's name.

Ying Zheng did not speak when he heard Zhang Han's words. He looked out the window for a while before opening his mouth and said:
"Meng Yi has assisted me for many years, and I know Meng Yi very well."

"Meng Yi is a very good minister with both literary and military skills. A few days ago, I thought that Fusu had such a big change because of Meng Yi's teaching behind his back."

"If the solution to the empty treasury is Meng Yi's idea, let Fusu tell me."

"Meng Yi couldn't think of this method to select talents through the imperial examination system."

"I feel that there must be someone else besides Meng Yi behind Fusu to help."

"Fusu has undergone such a big change in such a short period of time, and the several good suggestions he made to me are all related to the person behind it."

Ying Zheng said, his face became calm.

Zhang Han, who was standing aside, was stunned. He had indeed doubted whether there was anyone else around Fusu to help him.

He quickly gave up this idea. He didn't expect to hear from His Majesty's mouth today that Mr. Fusu had an expert helping him.

Zhang Han felt a trace of cold sweat on the back of his neck when he thought of the person behind Fusu.

Zhang Han was very aware of Mr. Fusu's behavior in the court during this period.

The person behind Mr. Fusu can make such a big change in Fusu. His ability must be very powerful.

"Does Your Majesty need the general to send someone to investigate the person behind Mr. Fusu?"

Zhang Han had a solemn look on his face as he watched the First Emperor bow his hands in salute.

"There is no need to investigate. Maybe there is no one else behind Fusu to help."

"Fusu has undergone such a big change during this period, so I would like to make a good proposal to you."

"Perhaps Fusu came up with it himself. Fusu is also the best among the few princes."

"It's not impossible to have such a big change."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and denied that Zhang Han wanted to investigate whether there was anyone behind Fusu.

What he said just now was just Ying Zheng's own speculation. Ying Zheng still believed that Fusu himself had changed.

It's not that Fusu had experts helping him. If Fusu had experts helping him, Fusu wouldn't have changed in this period of time.

"Your Majesty is saying that Mr. Fusu is so outstanding."

"It's normal to change yourself and come up with good suggestions for His Majesty."

Zhang Han agreed with the First Emperor's words, but in his heart he also preferred that it was Master Fusu who had figured it out himself and had such a big change.

"If Zhang Han says that there is really an expert behind Fusu to help him, what do you think this expert will be like?"

Ying Zheng said, with another smile on his face.

When Zhang Han heard what the First Emperor said, he immediately understood that it was His Majesty's joke.

Your Majesty can tell jokes, but Zhang Han dare not not take them seriously: "Your Majesty!"

"If Mr. Fusu has an expert behind him, he will look like an old man with white hair and vicissitudes of life to the general."

"Or a middle-aged man who is steady and knowledgeable like Prime Minister Li Si."

Zhang Han looked at the First Emperor and expressed his guess.

"Your judgment is the same as mine. If there is an expert behind Fusu, it will either be an old man with white hair and vicissitudes of life, or a middle-aged man with profound knowledge like Li Si."

"I remember that there was no such retainer in Fusu's house."

"It seems that Fusu really only has Meng Yi to help him. Apart from Meng Yi's guidance, Fusu has figured out everything else about Fusu's performance during this period."

When Ying Zheng heard Zhang Han's words, he also expressed what was in his heart.

Zhang Han nodded slightly when he heard what the First Emperor said. He agreed with what the First Emperor had just said. He also clearly remembered that there was no one like Li Si around Mr. Fusu, or an old man with white hair and vicissitudes of life.

"Report!"
