Next, Zhao Tuo and several young masters and princesses talked about the scenery and people of Chu.
The two young gentlemen were talking, and the topic turned to the traitor Xiong Qi.
Young Master Gao said that sooner or later the traitors would be captured and beaten to death.
Young Master Ronglu said that when the traitor is captured, he will spit on the traitor.
While the two young masters were filled with indignation, Zhao Tuo noticed that Fusu hesitated several times and looked sad.
Zhao Tuo thought thoughtfully. After such a long period of contact, he knew Fusu quite well.
This young man is not stupid. On the contrary, he is very smart and quite capable in learning.
However, there is a kind and affectionate side to Fusu's character.
And Lord Changping and Lord Changwen had a great influence on him.
For Fusu, since he was born, he has seldom enjoyed the care and guidance given by his father. In addition to his mother who was born in Chu State, the two people who often accompanied him and taught him were the two who stayed in Qin State and were interested in getting close to him.
The prince of Chu State.
The King of Qin was too busy with politics. Since he came to the throne, he has faced many crises and too many major events have taken up his energy.
Chang'an Jun Chengyu attacked the Zhao rebellion, Lao Ai conspired with the Queen Mother, and used Lao Ai's incident to overthrow Lu Buwei... After that, he inherited the legacy of the previous kings of Qin and launched a war to destroy the country.
Destroy Korea, destroy Zhao, conquer Yan, overthrow Wei, and last year Li Xin conquered Chu...
Major events came one after another, and there were too many things for Qin Wangzheng to deal with, control, and worry about. Even when he was lying on the bed at night, he was still thinking about various military and national affairs of Qin.
How much energy and time does he have left to care about his son?
Qin Wangzheng only thought of Fusu occasionally when he had free time, and asked him to question him, but most of the time he was scolded.
Under this situation, Chang Wenjun, who had retired at home, and Changping Jun, who wanted to participate, took advantage of the opportunity, approached with a gentle and kind face, and guided Fusu with his sincere teachings.
Even invisibly, they replaced Qin Wangzheng and performed part of their responsibilities as fathers, education.
All these things accumulate over time.
The relationship between Fusu and them was deep. Therefore, when he learned about Changping Jun's rebellion, he couldn't help but say "there must be a reason for the rebellion", and even wanted to defend the two Chu princes.
At that moment, Fusu was not defending the "Qin traitor" as a "Qin prince".
But for Fusu, they are the two teachers he respects most, and even his "fathers" to a certain extent. From a personal point of view, from the perspective of a teenage child, he pays tribute to the two most respected teachers.
The elders defended.
This is the emotion in Fusu's character.
But Fusu didn't realize that given his status, he shouldn't have said that.
He is the prince of Qin.
Xiong Qi is a traitor to Qin.
Therefore, Fusu completely angered King Qin when he was in the palace that day.
Zhao Tuo saw that his expression was quite sad, and when he thought of Fusu's relationship with the two Chu princes, he guessed most of it.
He had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of King Qin and the princes, at least he didn't want to and was unwilling to get involved now.
But unfortunately Fusu and Ying Yinman were brothers and sisters, and they were quite friendly to him. Zhao Tuo entered the palace in Fusu's name many times. In the eyes of others, Zhao Tuo would probably be contacted even if he didn't want to.
To Fusu.
Zhao Tuo hesitated slightly and took the initiative to speak: "Master, do you know that Xiong Qi is deeply trusted by the king, so why did he choose to betray our country, Qin?"
Fusu was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "How dare you ask Mr. Zhao for advice."
"Because he is the son of Chu State."
Zhao Tuo said in a deep voice: "Even if Xiong Qi was born in Qin, grew up in Qin, and served as the prime minister of Qin for ten years, it cannot change that the blood of King Mi of Chu flows in his body. In Xiong Qi's heart,
What he identifies with is his identity as a prince of Chu State, not as Prime Minister of Qin State."
"Xiong Qi chose his own identity, and he would do things from the perspective of this identity. Therefore, when the Chu State was about to face the danger of destruction, he raised a rebel flag in Huaiyang, cutting off the retreat of our Qin army, thus allowing
The Chu State has won a great victory and avoided the danger of collapse."
"This is the reason for his betrayal by Xiong Qi. He recognizes his identity as the son of the Chu Kingdom and has the obligation and responsibility to save the Chu Kingdom!"
"Young Master of Chu Kingdom...identity..."
Fusu whispered, remembering the conversation he had with Qin Wangzheng in the palace that day. Faced with his words that "there must be a reason for rebellion," Qin Wangzheng roared, "Xiong Qi is the son of Chu!"
It turns out that this is what is called "identity".
Seeing that Fusu seemed to have some understanding, Zhao Tuo formally showed his "sword".
"Young master is well versed in Confucianism, and I also know that Confucius said, 'If you are not in your position, you will not seek government.' If you put it the other way around, it means 'If you are in your position, you will seek government.'"
"When a person has his own identity, he should proceed from the standpoint of this identity and do what he should do. This principle has been spoken by the sages of the past generations."
Speaking of this, Zhao Tuo was stunned.
"Just as the young master is the son of the great king, his surname Ying's bloodline determines the young master's identity at birth. No matter what the young master thinks or does, in the eyes of the people in the world, the young master's identity will always be the eldest son of our Qin Kingdom!"
"Therefore, everything you think and do should be based on your status as the eldest son of the Qin State. All your actions must be based on the interests of our Qin State and do things for the interests of the family named Ying. Only in this way can you be the best in the world."
The only thing a prince should do is to seek his position and seek political power! Only in this way will the king love the prince even more!"
After finishing speaking, Zhao Tuo looked at Fusu with bright eyes.
In Zhao Tuo's opinion, Fusu's biggest problem is that under the influence of those two Chu people, he was too close to Chu and loved Chu culture. As a result, Fusu seemed confused about his own identity and always spoke and acted.
Can't tell his identity.
Contrary to Fusu, Prince Gao and Prince Ronglu had not been deliberately guided by others, and they had a very clear understanding of their identity as the princes of the Qin Kingdom. Therefore, although they were young, when they heard about Xiong Qi's rebellion against Chu, they
If you can't help but be filled with righteous indignation, you won't be as troubled as Fusu at all.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fusu, the eldest son of the Qin State, is close to the Chu State in his heart.
Qin Pi Chu Gu.
How to make Qin Wangzheng like him?
So what Zhao Tuo said today was to wake up Fusu.
If the Chu bones in his body could be removed and replaced with the bones of the Qin people, so that he could clearly know his identity as the eldest son of the Qin State, and act from this position in the future, then Qin Wangzheng would naturally not hate him anymore.
Fusu was shocked. With his intelligence, he naturally knew that Zhao Tuo was using Xiong Qi's incident to speak against him. The words of identity really shocked him.
Fusu thought about it carefully and realized that what he had said and done in the past seemed to be contrary to his status as the eldest son of the Qin State, and every time his father became angry, it seemed that it was related to these.
Of course, Zhao Tuo's long-term thinking and thinking cannot be changed immediately with just a few words, but Fusu finally clearly recognized his own problems for the first time.
He took a deep breath, stood up and paid homage to Zhao Tuo: "Fusu, thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your teachings."
"Young Master is so polite. If you can be of some benefit to the Young Master with just a few words, that would be great."
Zhao Tuo returned the gift with a smile.
Ying Yinman, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, raised her eyebrows, stared at Zhao Tuo with her beautiful eyes, and said, "Then, Zhao Tuo, what do you think you are?"
Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "Today's Zhao Tuo is a Qin general!"
…
As a foreign minister, Zhao Tuo could not stay in the palace for a long time. After saying goodbye to the princess and the princes, he walked out of the palace under the guidance of the waiters.
When he returned to the mansion, Zhao Tuo still had a smile on his face.
Long time no see, the princess is still so cute.
Now that he is in Xianyang, although he cannot often meet in the palace, communication and communication are much more convenient.
"The king said last time that only a pillar of the country can be worthy of his daughter. I wonder if he has made a decision this time."
Zhao Tuo thought to himself.
Thinking of the princess, his thoughts couldn't help but turn to his love rival's family.
"Li Si gave me a gift to congratulate me on my promotion. According to etiquette, I went to visit him now, just to see his attitude."
Zhao Tuo thought of this, so he asked the servants in the mansion to prepare gifts, and at the same time sent someone to submit a greeting card to Li Si's mansion and agreed on a time to visit.
On the next day, Zhao Tuo asked people to bring gifts and went to visit him holding the lamb.
Li Si opened the door of his mansion and came out to greet Zhao Tuo in person, with a very warm expression.
"The young man is really flattered when he is greeted by an elder."
Zhao Tuo hurriedly saluted.
Li Si laughed and said, "Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, you are now a middle-aged knight. It is only natural that I welcome you."
Zhao Tuo smiled awkwardly.
This is a small disadvantage after his promotion.
In the past, Li Si, Li Xin and others, who were high and mighty in the past, were overtaken by Zhao Tuo to the title of nobility in the blink of an eye. However, Zhao Tuo and their seniority and age were very different, so it was quite embarrassing to meet each other.
Zhao Tuo said humbly: "Li Gong is an elder and a pillar of the Qin Kingdom. Regardless of his title, he respects Li Gong very much."
"Haha, Zhao Tuo is the only one who can say that. You and I have long been friends, so you won't be polite and come with me into the house quickly."
Li Si smiled and invited Zhao Tuo into the house.
Zhao Tuo had sharp eyes and noticed that Li Si was walking a little abnormally. His left leg looked like it had been hit by something, and he was quite lame.
As a junior guest, it was not easy for him to ask questions. He was just curious, wondering whether Li Si was crippled by a fall or someone smashed him.
After the two entered the house, they were polite again. Li Si invited Zhao Tuo to drink soup and eat fruits, and chatted with each other about some interesting things. While chatting, they inevitably talked about the previous war against Chu.
Li Si stroked his beard and sighed: "Although you, Zhao Tuo, are young, you really have the demeanor of a military strategist and a sage. Your demeanor of fighting against the odds makes even a person like me who is not familiar with military affairs sound very impressed. Defeat the many with less, and win with the weak.
Strong, how magnificent!"
Zhao Tuo humbly said: "Li Gongmiao praised me, that battle was all a fluke. I was facing the water, and I was able to survive in the face of death. It was all because the opponent was not careful and allowed the strange soldiers lying in the rear to accomplish great feats. If the enemy had been prepared,
I’m afraid that not only will things fail, but the army will also be in danger of being overthrown.”
Li Si nodded slightly and agreed.
The two chatted happily about many things. Zhao Tuo saw that Li Si looked at ease with him, and his attitude was warm and gentle, so he let go of his guard a little.
It seems that Li You's incident did not have a great impact on Li Si, and he had no intention of turning against him.
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Zhao Tuo said goodbye at the right time.
After a while, Li Si saw off Zhao Tuo and left, walking back to the house. The smile on his face when he was chatting with Zhao Tuo had long since disappeared.
Now that there were no outsiders present, Li Si rubbed his aching left leg and simply sat on the couch.
"Although this Zhao Tuo is young, his speech is impeccable, far beyond what Han Fei could compare to back then. He is also favored by the king. There is no opportunity to take advantage of, so he cannot be an enemy for the time being. Unless he loses on the battlefield and suffers the same fate as Li did.
Believe in old things..."
"Before that, we should keep each other as friends."
Just when Li Si decided in his heart that he would continue to be on good terms with Zhao Tuo on the surface in the future.
Li You walked in.
"You'er, I just had a conversation with Zhao Tuo. This son has a very mature mind and strategy. Now he is favored by the king and cannot be easily shaken. In the future, you must not be an enemy of him in person, do you hear me?"
Li Si opened his mouth to mention his son, fearing that he would make things worse because of his anger.
Unexpectedly, Li came here with another purpose.
He nodded first, and then said with bright eyes: "Father, I have figured it out. I will not conflict with that Zhao Tuo face to face again. What you said before makes sense. If you want to gain the king's favor and gain glory,
Even Princess Shang can only perform meritorious service on the battlefield and convince others with her deeds."
"Now the king is going to send General Wang Jian to lead an army to attack Chu. With General Wang's ability, this battle is different from Li Xin. I want to ask for orders to participate in this battle. I have to get up from where I fell!"
"I want to perform meritorious service on the battlefield and get back the title I lost!"
At the end of the conversation, Li You was in high spirits, and his mental state was completely different from the sinking state he had been in the past few days.
Li Si was quite surprised and didn't know why his son suddenly became enlightened.
However, when he saw that Li You was in very good spirits and full of high morale, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Li Si then thought that this time King Qin was going to attack Chu and he asked Wang Jian to lead an army of 600,000 people southward. I'm afraid he still had a good chance of winning this battle.
He said happily: "Very good, you look so confident, you are my son Li Si. Since you have such fighting spirit, I will ask for your life and let you go to Chu Di Yixue to shame!"
Seeing that Li Si agreed, he came down.
Li You's eyes were full of determination, and he whispered in his heart: "Father, just wait and see, I will never abandon the army and run away when I go to Chu again this time. I don't want to be what people in Xianyang call Li Paopao again."
'."
"I, Li You, will also fight to the bitter end! Win the glory that belongs to me!"
Li You raised his head confidently.
In the past two days, he studied carefully in the mansion and carefully understood Zhao Tuo's last battle.
Use less to defeat more, use weak to defeat strong.
It turns out to be so simple.
Zhao Tuo can do it.
Why can't Li You do it?
As long as he no longer runs away, he can fight against the odds with his soldiers, defeat the many with the few, the weak with the strong, and create a glorious record that belongs to him, Li You!
By that time, it will be his name Li You that is praised in Xianyang City...
