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

Chapter 366 The morning court begins, Fusu asks for permission! The Qilin Palace is filled with the smell of gunpowder!

"Fusu, what do you want to say?"

When everyone heard what the First Emperor said, they looked at Fusu again.

"My father, General Meng Tian has conquered the land of Baiyue and brought its resources back to Qin."

"In a border battle, Generals Han Xin and Wang Ben led the army and killed the Xiongnu Chanyu and his army."

"It seems that Daqin is no longer a threat. In my opinion, this situation is not suitable for Daqin."

"I beg you, father, to send troops on an expedition to conquer other kingdoms and tribes."

"Bringing the resources of these kingdoms and tribes back to Daqin can also limit the development of these kingdoms and tribes, so that they will not become enemies of Daqin in the future."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and expressed his thoughts.

Everyone in Qilin Hall looked at Fusu and stood there in a daze.

They did not expect that Fusu would actually propose that His Majesty send troops to attack other kingdoms and tribes.

Seeing Fusu being so belligerent, these ministers were unable to adapt to it for a while.

Li Si looked at Fusu's back and reacted at this time.

In Li Si's opinion, Fusu's proposal just now made sense.

Daqin is developing and needs a lot of resources.

The resources Meng Tian brought back were not enough to support the Qin Dynasty and continue its development.

If you want to make Daqin better, you need more resources.

The kingdoms and tribes outside the Qin Dynasty could provide these resources to the Qin Dynasty.

Fusu’s proposal is very powerful.

When Ying Zheng, who was sitting in the main seat, heard Fusu's words, a smile appeared on his face.

This was a performance he and Fusu put on for the other ministers. After all, he had already learned about the next development of the Qin Dynasty from Lin Xuan yesterday.

Ying Zheng was very satisfied with Fusu's request just now.

"Your Majesty, I am against sending troops to attack other kingdoms and tribes."

A minister stood up and looked at the First Emperor, rejecting Fusu's request.

Everyone looked at the minister, and some of them had strange expressions on their faces.

The minister who stood up against Fusu was the same minister who had previously opposed Meng Tian's expedition to conquer the Baiyue region.

Because of the expedition to conquer the Baiyue region, this minister and Fusu had already had a conflict.

However, because Meng Tian won the battle and brought back resources from the land of Baiyue, this minister no longer opposed Fusu in the court.

Today, Fusu proposed to attack other kingdoms and tribes, and this minister once again stood up to oppose it.

Ying Zheng said nothing and looked at the minister.

"Your Majesty, Daqin is now developing very smoothly."

"Sending troops to attack other kingdoms and tribes will consume soldiers and food."

"Even if we conquer these kingdoms and tribes, we may not necessarily get their resources."

"After all, not all kingdoms and tribes have as rich resources as the Baiyue Land."

The ministers who opposed Fusu looked at the First Emperor and stated their reasons.

He opposed Fusu's expedition partly because of this reason and partly to avenge himself from last time.

The last time Meng Tian returned victorious, he was so disgraced that many ministers talked about him behind his back.

As a minister in the court, he naturally could not tolerate such words.

Today Fusu again requested to send troops. In his opinion, this was a good opportunity for him to turn the tables.

Some ministers nodded slightly when they heard what the minister said, and what the minister said made sense.

The Qin Dynasty is developing very well now, and there is really no need to send troops to attack other kingdoms and tribes.

Fusu glanced at the minister who opposed him, with a hint of a smile on his face:
"Your Majesty, I do not agree with what this minister said."

"Daqin is indeed developing very well now, but it will take a lot of resources to continue to develop."

"Daqin's existing resources are not enough to support its development."

"If we want to develop further, we have no choice but to attack these kingdoms and tribes."

"Besides, these kingdoms and tribes are potential enemies of the Qin Dynasty."

"When these kingdoms and tribes develop to the same strength as the Xiongnu, they will inevitably invade Daqin."

"In this case, it would be more advantageous for Daqin to strike first."

After Fusu finished speaking, he looked at the minister with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Some ministers nodded slightly when they heard Fusu's words, and Fusu's words made sense.

As long as the Qin Dynasty continues to develop, it will need a large amount of resources, which can only be obtained from other kingdoms and tribes.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu with a look of satisfaction on his face.

What Fusu said just now was very good, and Ying Zheng and Lin Xuan thought the same after discussing it.

This is enough to show that Lin Xuan's teaching of Fusu was very successful.

"My lord, you want your majesty to send troops to attack other kingdoms and tribes. I wonder if you know about these kingdoms and tribes outside of Daqin?"

"These kingdoms and tribes are blocked by huge rivers from the Qin Dynasty."

"If the army wants to attack these kingdoms and tribes, the Qin will first have to cross the river."

"The existing ships of the Qin Dynasty are all very small and cannot support a large army crossing the river."

"Does the young master want the soldiers to swim across the river?"

The minister who opposed Fusu said this with a hint of disdain on his face.

Other ministers might not know about these kingdoms and tribes, but he had made a special effort to learn about them.

The Qin Dynasty and these kingdoms and tribes were blocked by a river.

When some people in Qilin Palace heard the minister's words, their faces changed drastically. If it weren't for the minister's reminder.

They really couldn't imagine that Daqin and these kingdoms and tribes were blocked by the river.

As a result, Fusu's request to His Majesty to attack these kingdoms and tribes became an empty talk.

Today, the minister who opposed Fusu has regained a point.

The minister who opposed Fusu looked at the faces of other ministers.

Seeing that these ministers heard his explanation, many of them nodded slightly.

This indicated that he agreed with his explanation, and the minister smiled slightly when he thought of this.

Having lost to Fusu last time, this time he can finally take revenge.

There was also a hint of worry in Li Si's eyes as he looked at Fusu.

Fusu asked His Majesty to attack other kingdoms and tribes. If His Majesty really agreed, the minister who opposed Fusu should explain himself.

He would not send troops to attack other kingdoms and tribes, as this would be a blow to Fusu's confidence.

Li Si did not want to see this situation, but he had to say that what the minister said made sense.

The Qin Dynasty did not have ships that could carry a large army across the river, so attacking other kingdoms and tribes became an empty talk.

Fusu was not influenced by this minister. He looked at the First Emperor and bowed, saying:
"Father, I dare to ask you to send a large army to attack other kingdoms and tribes today."

"Of course I know about these kingdoms and tribes. I also know that there are rivers blocking the way between Qin and these kingdoms and tribes."

"I have a way to get the army across the river and attack these kingdoms and tribes to get their resources."

Fusu said this with a hint of confidence on his face.

The Qilin Hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to Fusu.

Just now Fusu said that he had a way to get the army across the river.

Once the army sets out, it will be at least tens of thousands of troops, and Fusu can lead tens of thousands of troops to cross the river.

Few ministers believed that Fusu could do it. Even those who supported Fusu had doubts in their hearts. "If your majesty sends a large army, it will be at least tens of thousands of troops."

"Sir, you can't ignore tens of thousands of troops just to show off."

"It is simply impossible to cross the river with tens of thousands of troops to attack other kingdoms and tribes."

The minister who opposed Fusu had a look of disdain on his face.

In his opinion, Fusu lied to the emperor and told him a way to get the army across the river in order to gain attention.

He didn't believe that Fusu could lead tens of thousands of troops across the river.

Now is a good opportunity to attack Fusu, how could he give up?
Some ministers nodded slightly when they heard what the minister said. They also did not believe that Fusu could lead tens of thousands of troops across the river.

Some ministers who supported Fusu wanted to stand up and support Fusu.

But they couldn't speak. They were doubting themselves, so how could they support Fusu?

"Father, since I said I could have the army cross the river to attack other kingdoms and cities."

"Of course I have the confidence. I ask the emperor to issue an order."

"Take the ministers of the court and my son to a place."

"I believe that when we get there, you ministers will know that I am not disregarding tens of thousands of troops just to show off."

There was a hint of confidence on Fusu's face as he looked at the First Emperor and saluted.

The ministers looked at each other. They didn't expect Fusu to be so serious.

He also offered to take them to a place to prove that the army could cross the river.

"Your Majesty, since Prince Fusu wants to prove that he can lead the army across the river."

"I think that Prince Fusu should be given this opportunity."

The minister who opposed Fusu bowed with a smile on his face.

In his opinion, Fusu was just pretending to be calm, trying to use self-proof to get the emperor's approval.

As Fusu's enemy, he would not allow this to happen.

Since Fusu wants to prove himself, agree to let him prove himself.

In this way, Fusu's lies would naturally be exposed.

By then, all the ministers in the court would know that Fusu ignored tens of thousands of troops in order to attract attention.

There was an anxious look on Meng Yi's face. He did not expect Fusu to be so impulsive.

Even if you want to attack other kingdoms and tribes, you must be fully prepared.

It is not easy for tens of thousands of troops to cross the river.

Meng Yi felt even more puzzled about what Prince Fusu had asked to report today.

Prince Fusu's teacher Lin Xuan should have known about it. If so, why didn't Lin Xuan stop it?

Or did Fusu secretly ask His Majesty to send out the army without his teacher's knowledge?

Now, which minister opposes Fusu? Let Fusu prove himself.

Meng Yi believed that Prince Fusu had no other options, and that this would affect Prince Fusu's rising fame.

Meng Yi gritted his teeth and was about to stand up to help Fusu speak when the voice of the First Emperor reached everyone's ears.

"Prelude!"

With just two words, Qilin Hall became quiet again.

The ministers' faces all changed differently, and the ministers who supported Fusu turned pale.

The ministers who had a grudge against Fusu and hated Fusu had smiles on their faces.

His Majesty agreed to Fusu's request, which also meant that His Majesty would lead these ministers to see Fusu's self-affirmation.

In this way, Fusu would have no way to retreat, if he could not prove that he could lead tens of thousands of troops across the river.

Fusu committed a serious crime today. After all, Fusu's request ignored tens of thousands of troops.

The ministers who had spoken out against Fusu were excited when they heard that the First Emperor agreed to Fusu's request.

Today he can avenge himself from last time, and he also wants to make Fusu taste the humiliation.

In this confrontation with Fusu, he was the ultimate winner.

"My dear father, thank you!"

Fusu looked calm as he looked at the First Emperor and bowed.

Ying Zheng glanced at everyone in the hall, stood up and left the Qilin Hall.

Everyone hurriedly followed the First Emperor out of the Qilin Hall, and the carriage was already ready to leave the Qilin Hall.

The First Emperor led everyone on a carriage, left the palace and headed towards the place mentioned by Fusu.

In Fusu's carriage, Fusu, Meng Tian and Meng Yi were sitting in the same carriage.

Logically speaking, as a prince, Fusu should ride in the carriage alone.

Just when Fusu got on the carriage to leave, Meng Yi and Meng Tian came over and asked to ride in the same carriage with Fusu.

Fusu agreed to the request of the Meng brothers, and the two of them got on Fusu's carriage.

"My lord, what you asked His Majesty for in the court today is a good thing."

"It's just that you are too anxious, sir. These kingdoms and tribes outside of the Qin Dynasty also have some fighting power."

"There is a river blocking the way to Daqin. If you want to attack these kingdoms and tribes, sir."

"Tell me in advance, I can also offer you some advice."

"There is no way out now. Even if I want to help you, I can't do anything."

As Meng Tian spoke, there was a hint of helplessness on his face.

As a military general of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian naturally knew something about the enemies around the Qin Dynasty.

If Fusu had told him in advance that he wanted to attack these kingdoms and tribes, Meng Tian would have also helped Fusu.

At least it won't be as passive as today's morning court session.

Meng Tian, ​​who was sitting on the other side, nodded slightly and said, "I want to speak for you, but I have no way to speak."

"When we get there, if His Majesty is not satisfied with your self-evidence."

"Your Excellency can blame this incident on me. You can insist that I was the one who persuaded you to attack other kingdoms and tribes."

"As for why I want to deceive you, it is to let my brother Meng Tian serve as the commander of the army, so that he can achieve great merit."

"With this excuse, other ministers won't be able to say anything, and you won't be affected either."

Meng Yi gritted his teeth and expressed his thoughts.

Meng Tian nodded slightly when he heard Meng Yi's words, "What Meng Yi said makes sense. Young Master, you will insist that you were bewitched by Meng Yi in a moment."

"I will also stand up and admit that I persuaded you to ask Your Majesty to send troops in order to become the commander of the army."

After Meng Tian finished speaking, there was a look of determination on his face.

When Fusu heard what Meng Tian and Meng Yi said, he felt warm in his heart.

"My two brothers, have you ever thought about this? If I insist that I was bewitched by you two,

"The ministers in the court who are jealous of the Meng family will definitely petition for severe punishment of the two of you, and may even implicate the Meng family."

"Father values ​​the Meng family, and due to the requests of so many ministers, he will punish you two and the Meng family."

"If this happens, not only will the Meng family's reputation be damaged, but you two may also be demoted."

Fusu looked at Meng Tian and Meng Yi and asked.

He is no longer the Fusu of the past, so he naturally knows the consequences of Meng Yi's words just now.

To become the main general and win merit by deceiving the prince was a serious crime in the Qin Dynasty.

If it were an ordinary minister, he would be beheaded.

Even the Meng family, who is deeply trusted by the emperor, will be severely punished.
