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

Chapter 418: Ying Zheng adopted Fusu’s proposal and Li Xin served as the border commander!

Looking at Fusu's back, Meng Fang's mind went blank.

He couldn't understand why Prince Fusu didn't recommend him but recommended Li Xin instead.

The Meng family has always supported Prince Fusu, so why doesn't Prince Fusu recommend himself?

Some ministers also noticed Meng Fang's abnormality and he had been an official in the court for many years.

These ministers soon realized that Meng Fang also wanted to serve as the border commander.

As a result, Fusu recommended General Li Xin, and they knew it very well.

Prince Fusu's opinion is very important to Your Majesty, and Fusu recommended General Li Xin.

Your Majesty should let General Li Xin serve as the chief general, so that Meng Fang will no longer have the position of chief general.

Ying Zheng's face was calm but there was a hint of surprise in his heart. He did not expect Fusu to recommend Li Xin.

In Ying Zheng's view, Fusu would recommend Meng Tian, ​​and even if he did not recommend Meng Tian, ​​he would recommend a general who was close to him.

Ying Zheng had no objection to military generals and ministers being close to Fusu, and he was happy to see this.

However, Ying Zheng was still a little surprised that Fusu recommended Li Xin.

"Fusu, what is your reason for recommending General Li Xin?"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and raised his doubts.

Everyone's eyes turned to Fusu, and the three Meng brothers also looked at Fusu.

In particular, Meng Fang wanted to know why Prince Fusu recommended General Li Xin.

When Fusu heard what the First Emperor said, his face was calm: "Report to the Emperor, Father!"

"Generals Han Xin and Wang Ben drove the Xiongnu out of the plains, and the danger of the border being breached was greatly alleviated."

"Even if Generals Han Xin and Wang Ben return to Xianyang City, the position of the border commander is still very important."

"Only a general who has experienced hundreds of battles can serve as a border commander."

"General Meng Tian is a suitable candidate, but he had retired from the position of border commander."

"In addition to the conquest of the Baiyue land, there were two other times when I took a ship with a large army to conquer other kingdoms and tribes."

"General Meng Tian has consumed a lot of energy in several major battles. I think he is not suitable to be the commander of the border."

"As for the other generals, I think only General Li Xin is the most suitable."

"General Li Xin has been through many battles and enjoys great prestige in the army."

"This is why I recommend General Li Xin to you, Father."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and told him the reasons why he recommended Li Xin.

When everyone in Qilin Hall heard Fusu's words, they nodded slightly. They felt that what Fusu said made sense.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi also nodded slightly. They both thought Fusu's words were reasonable.

The two looked at Meng Fang. Yesterday, Meng Fang told them that Prince Fusu would recommend him.

Meng Fang took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He also agreed with Prince Fusu's reasons, but could only say that he had no chance of becoming the border commander.

When Ying Zheng heard Fusu's words, he nodded slightly. He thought the reasons Fusu recommended were very reasonable.

"Meng Tian, ​​do you think General Li Xin is suitable to be the commander of the border?"

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian and asked.

Meng Tian quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty!"

"I think what Prince Fusu said makes sense. I agree that General Li Xin should be appointed as the commander of the border."

Meng Tian looked at the First Emperor and expressed his attitude.

Meng Tian clearly distinguished between public and private affairs, and he recognized Li Xin's ability to serve as the border commander.

Although Prince Fusu did not recommend Meng Fang but recommended Li Xin privately, Meng Tian still supported Prince Fusu's recommendation.

Their Meng family has a close relationship with Fusu, so at this time he must have the same opinion as Fusu.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard Meng Tian's words, and looked at everyone in Qilin Hall: "What Fusu said is very much in my heart."

"I have decided to appoint Li Xin to replace Han Xin as the border commander."

When everyone in the Qilin Hall heard what the First Emperor said, they looked at Fusu.

Sure enough, His Majesty adopted Fusu's proposal and appointed Li Xin as the chief general.

Some ministers looked at Meng Fang. If it was Fusu who recommended Meng Fang just now, then the name that His Majesty read out in his decree was Meng Fang.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Li Xin stood up with a hint of excitement on his face.

When His Majesty mentioned the border commander at the morning court today, Li Xin wanted to go to the border to serve as the commander.

But he knew that it would be difficult for him to become the commander of the border, so Li Xin gave up the idea.

Unexpectedly, Prince Fusu did not recommend Meng Tian from the Meng family, but recommended him as the chief general.

This made Li Xin a little flustered for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he looked at Fusu with gratitude in his heart.

The battle against the six kingdoms in which he lost to Xiang Yan was a shame that Li Xin could never forget.

This time we went to the border, even without the Huns.

He also had to do what he was supposed to do so that he would not be forgotten by the people of Daqin.

Thinking of this, Li Xin looked at Fusu with gratitude in his eyes.

When Ying Zheng heard Li Xin's words, he nodded, stood up and left the Qilin Hall with a smile on his face.

"Retreat!"

The eunuch who summoned the emperor saw His Majesty leaving the Qilin Hall and shouted loudly at everyone.

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

Some ministers stood up and left the Qilin Hall, while some ministers looked at Fusu and then at Meng Fang before leaving.

"The young master recommended Li Xin to His Majesty as the commander-in-chief. Li Xin is grateful to you!"

Li Xin came in front of Fusu, bowed with a hint of excitement on his face.

"General Li Xin, you are too polite. I am just telling the truth."

"I hope the general can make another military achievement at the border."

Fusu looked at Li Xin with a smile on his face.

"Li Xin understands. Li Xin takes his leave!"

After Li Xin finished speaking, he turned and left Qilin Hall.

Soon, only Fusu and the brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi were left in the Qilin Hall. Meng Fang had already left the Qilin Hall with other ministers.

"My two brothers, I will go to the Meng Mansion in the evening!"

Fusu looked at Meng Tian and Meng Yi and spoke.

"promise!"

Meng Tian and Meng Yi looked at Fusu and bowed.

Fusu smiled and nodded and left the Qilin Palace. Meng Tian and Meng Yi looked at each other, turned around and left the Qilin Palace.

The Meng family mansion in Xianyang City!
In the hall, Meng Fang sat at his seat and drank wine. He was the only one in the hall.

The servants and other members of the Meng family were all driven out by Meng Fang.

"Tap Tap!"

Meng Fang was drinking fine wine when he suddenly heard footsteps.

Meng Fang looked up and saw Meng Tian and Meng Yi walked in.

"Big brother and second brother."

Meng Fang looked at Meng Tian and Meng Yi and greeted them.

"Third brother, how can you be so disrespectful? Just because Master Fusu didn't recommend you as the commander, you are drinking here?"

Meng Tian looked at Meng Fang and scolded him.

"Prince Fusu recommended General Li Xin. He must have his reasons for recommending General Li Xin."

"As a member of the Meng family, you should be more considerate of Master Fusu."

Meng Yi looked at Meng Fang and also tried to dissuade him.

Meng Fang looked at Meng Tian and Meng Yi, with a bitter smile on his face:
"My two brothers have misunderstood. I am not dissatisfied with Master Fusu's recommendation of General Li Xin."

"I just feel a little lost in my heart."
