Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 424

"My subject, Li Mu, has seen the prince." Li Mu bowed to Fusu.

Fu Su hurriedly helped him up, and said: "General Li, please excuse me, please excuse me." Looking at Li Mu, he said with distress: "I haven't seen General Li for a few years, and General Li's hair is as frosty as frost on his temples. Fusu is full of emotions. I think back then, General Li Mu was heroic, and no one in Tengchong's army was an opponent. In the first battle to destroy Zhao, Daqin was delayed by his subordinates for a long time. Now General Li still has heroic spirit, but The age is no longer what it used to be, and the years are not forgiving."

Li Mu also said with deep emotion: "What the crown prince said is very true. Li Mu also feels that his energy is not as good as before. Li Mu is old and useless. Now it's all right, the crown prince is here, and Li Mu's burden can finally be relieved."

Fu Su hurriedly clarified: "General Li, don't misunderstand me. I came to Jicheng for the sake of peace in the north, not to relieve you of your burden. Although General Li is older, Jiang is still old and spicy. General Li's Rich experience, the experience of hundreds of battles is unique, not to mention your understanding of the north is unmatched, without you, General Li, Fusu would not be able to bring peace to northern Xinjiang."

Li Muqian said: "The crown prince loves you, Li Mu is very grateful. It's just that Li Mu is really old and his energy is exhausted, and he really wants to let go of the burden."

Fusu encouraged: "General Li and Lian Po are both famous generals of the old Zhao Dynasty. Do you know that Lian Po refuses to accept his old age, and at the age of seventy, he can still eat the sun and fight for food, soar like flying, with the heroic spirit of soaring thousands of troops, and look down upon the world. The general should learn from General Lian Po's spirit of not obeying the old."

Li Mu smiled slightly, and replied: "Although Lian Po can eat a lot of food every day, it's just a few extra trips to the toilet."

This is the allusion of "Lian Po is old, can he still eat?" Fu Su smiled and said: "General Li, you can't talk like that. Although General Lian Po has the ambition to serve the country, he can't do it because treacherous ministers block the way. He was depressed and died. After the father ruled the world, he worked hard to govern, promoted the virtuous and appointed the capable, and the virtuous man was in power, which is beyond the comparison of the fatuous King Zhao."

"The old minister made a mistake, the old minister made a mistake." Li Mu said hastily.

Fusu comforted: "General Li doesn't have to take it to heart. What I mean is that Daqin still needs General Li, and I ask General Li to do what is difficult for Daqin and contribute to the stability of northern Xinjiang."

Li Mu took the order and said, "Thank you, Prince! Li Mu dare not try his best."

"It's hard for General Li." Fu Su cupped his fists at Meng Tian, ​​and said with a smile, "General Meng, don't come here." Su looked at him differently.

Meng Tian was about to kneel down to salute, Fu Su quickly stopped him and said, "The general is wearing armor, so these vain rituals can be avoided." Meng Tian hesitated and said, "However, the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers cannot be discarded."

Fu Su smiled and said: "Look at you, it's inconvenient to give a big salute in military uniform, so I can avoid it."

These words are very sincere and definitely not false, so Meng Tian couldn't force it anymore and said: "Since that's the case, I'm being rude, please forgive me, Prince."

"That's right." Fusu agreed, took Wang Ben's hand, looked at Wang Ben, and said, "General Wang, I remember that you were not as good-looking as you are now, but now you are younger and more handsome. It’s really different, especially able to support people.”

This was a joke, which made Li Mu, Mengtian and the others laugh, and Mengtian said with a smile: "The prince is right, General Wang is much more handsome than before. Fortunately, this is the Northland, and there are not as many beautiful girls in the Central Plains, or else , General Wang’s crime is serious.”

Wang Ben and Meng Tian lived and died together, and formed a good friendship. They lightly punched Meng Tian on the shoulder and said, "General Meng, don't talk nonsense, the crown prince is here."

Fusu chuckled, and said: "Just order casually, don't talk about the prince and shut up the prince. The etiquette comes and goes, which is very annoying. I am the prince, but I am not here to be the prince this time. , to learn from you, you are all my masters, Fusu is here to salute you." He clasped his fists and bowed.

Li Mu, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben, Zhang Han, and Tu Sui hurriedly replied, "Prince, I dare not accept such a heavy gift."

Fu Su smiled and said: "Students should salute their masters. You have done a great job in the northern border. The northern part of Daqin has been safe and sound. This is all your credit. Father often praises you. Father said that you It’s right to put it in the north.”

At Fusu's age, he has never experienced human accidents, he doesn't pay attention to anything, everything is simplified, he is more likely to be arrogant, and he doesn't pay attention to anyone. I didn't expect him to treat the generals so courteously. It is indeed rare to keep saying that they are learning from the generals. Li Mu and the others kept nodding, thinking in their hearts that they seemed to see the shadow of Qin Shihuang in Fusu's body.

Everyone said in unison: "This is all the emperor's sage, and the ministers dare not take credit for it."

Li Mu said emotionally: "Prince, Li Mu used to be the general of Zhao State. He was an enemy of Daqin and went against the sky to prevent Daqin from dominating the world. An Ning is handed over to the minister, and the minister is really grateful, and I don't know how to express my gratitude."

Fusu comforted: "General Li doesn't need to blame himself. Youdao is a loyal minister when the country is in trouble. General Li resolutely provoked Zhao's heavy burden at such a difficult time. This can only show that the general is a true loyal minister. The reason why the father reuses the general is because It is to see the general’s precious qualities of being brave and fearless. The soldiers who participated in the first battle against Zhao all respected and loved the general. I, Fusu, was young at the time and did not participate in this battle. It is a pity when I think about it .Fortunately, the law of heaven is clear, and today I can do my best for Huaxia together with the general, and it is a great honor to help Su."

Zhou Chong, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben, Zhang Han, and Tu Sui all said together: "The crown prince's words are very true. I was really happy for the rest of my life when I fought against General Li."

"Thank you, thank you!" Li Mu clasped his fists and saluted, tears dripping down his cheeks.

Zhou Chong and the others could understand Li Mu's mood. Fu Su took out a white silk handkerchief and handed it to Li Mu. Li Mu thanked him, took it, and wiped it.

Fusu said: "Everyone, Fusu has a proposal: I know you are all old acquaintances and old friends. I haven't seen you for a few years. This is a lot of words. Li come and go, and there is not enough time, so why don't you see Li?" Now, whoever wants to talk to anyone can go directly to him. Tell me, how about it?"

If the generals and Zhou Chong greeted each other one by one, the etiquette alone is enough for people to bear. It would be the best if it can be saved. Everyone is a general, and they don't value etiquette as much as literati. They said in unison: "Observe the order."

With a fuss, he said, "Why are you here again? If the purpose is not purposeful, you still regard me as an outsider."

Li Mu and the others hurriedly said, "I dare not."

Fu Su said: "We'll just talk while we're in the city, talk about whatever we like, don't be restrained."

"Prince, please." Li Mu and the others turned sideways to invite each other.

Fusu humbled a little, and together with Zhou Chong, Chen Ping, Han Xin, Yuzi Qi Fan Kuai and the others, they brought their families into Jicheng.
