After hearing what Xie Yanzhen said, Hu Weisejia smiled knowingly, and then cast a questioning look at Wei Xi, who nodded and expressed his appreciation for what Xie Yan Zhen had just said.
of approval.
In Hu Weishejia's view, these two people are both smart people. They should have already thought of the huge benefits to the Yuezhi of sending people to study at the Imperial Academy of the Qin Dynasty. The Yuezhi has always been a big country before, and in Touman
Due to Shanyu's attack, the national power was severely depleted, and Fusu was forced to take away the land thousands of miles west of the river. The national power was even worse. Anyone with insight from the Yuezhi, who doesn't hope that the Yuezhi's national power will be restored again, and now the Qin Dynasty
Taking the initiative to open up the Imperial College of Qin is like giving a pillow to a sleepy person.
Wei Xijiu was once sent as an envoy to Xianyang by Hu Weishejia. He was deeply impressed by the way of governing the country in the Qin Dynasty, and he also knew that it was far inferior to the Qin Dynasty in governing the country. Therefore, he was very happy about the opening up of Taixue in the Qin Dynasty. Hu Wei, the king of Yuezhi,
Before, Sejia only knew that Qin was strong and powerful, but did not like Qin's way of governing the country. After a trip to the four counties in Hexi, he finally understood it, so he expressed his feelings about Qin's power and governance in court many times.
, this affected Xie Yanzhen and other ministers who had never been to Qin, and naturally they developed a yearning for Da Qin.
Just when the Yuezhi monarchs and ministers were immersed in the joy, a piece of news about the Yuezhi spread to Xianyang, shocking the monarchs and ministers of the Qin Dynasty: it turned out to be a piece of news that a Qin detective cavalry had heard from the land of Hexi. It was rumored that the Yuezhi king Hu
Weishejia had a grudge against Fusu for ceding the land in Hexi, so he secretly colluded with the Xiongnu Maodun Chanyu in an attempt to raise troops to retake Hexi. Huweisejia, the king of the Yuezhi, had secretly sent troops to kill Fusu's envoy to the Yuezhi.
The regiment is ready to raise troops.
When Li Si and Meng Yi learned the news, they did not dare to delay and braved the night to go straight to Fusu's palace, Lanchi Palace, to report the sudden news to Fusu.
When the guards of Lanchi Palace reported the news of the arrival of Li Si and Meng Yi to Fusu, Fusu was a little shocked. Since he succeeded to the throne, the two prime ministers of Qin Dynasty had not visited together at starry night. Ever since he moved to
In this Lanchi Palace, these two prime ministers have never been to Lanchi Palace. Something big must have happened.
So Fusu immediately rushed to the main hall of Lanchi Palace and met Li Si.
After meeting Fusu, the monarch and his ministers simply saluted each other without too much politeness. Meng Yi went straight to the point and reported to Fusu the news that Tanqi had inquired about.
The news reported by Meng Yi was indeed somewhat beyond Fusu's expectations. Judging from the situation faced by Da Qin at this time, the possibility of the Yueshi and the Xiongnu uniting to attack Da Qin was slim. However, the mission sent by Da Qin to the Yueshi did
The news was cut off, as if it had disappeared out of thin air, which made Fusu have to doubt the accuracy of the news.
"Prime Minister, why do I feel that this matter is a bit strange? Think about it, Touman Chanyu attacked the Yuezhi earlier, which gave us an opportunity to seize the land of Hexi without bloodshed. It stands to reason.
The hatred between the Yueshi and the Xiongnu will not fade away so quickly, right?"
"Sir, my veteran also thought there was something fishy about this matter. All the envoys sent by Great Qin to various places have sent letters back to Xianyang, but only the envoy sent to Yueshi has not heard anything from it since the fifteenth day ago. This matter
It’s strange that the old minister couldn’t judge the authenticity of this news for a while, so he and Meng Yi rushed to report to the Young Master at night and ask the Young Master to make a decision.”
What Li Si said is not unreasonable. For the envoys going to Yanqi, Qiuci, Yiwu, Wusun and other countries near the Qin Dynasty, their news is reported every five days. Even if it is delayed occasionally, it will be delayed for two or three days. Logically speaking,
It is said that Yueshi is much closer to Daqin than these countries. There should be no information blockage. Why is there no news?
"That's not right. If King Yuezhi insists on being an enemy of Great Qin, he will not take the initiative to compile books and ask for trade. There are many doubts at this time and must be investigated." Fusu frowned slightly and said cautiously.
"Sir, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Fusu didn't know how to answer Meng Yi's question, so he had to lower his head and think about it.
After a while, Fusu thought of a good idea.
"Meng Yi, didn't I agree to Hu Weisejia's request for business before? In addition, I also invited him to travel to the Qin Dynasty, and gave them a hundred places for the Yuezhi to study in the Great Qin Taixue, or else
Let's test this matter. If Huweisejia is willing to travel to the Great Qin Dynasty or send people to study at the Taixue University in the Great Qin Dynasty, it proves that Huweisejia has no second thoughts. Today's rumors are just rumors. If then Huweisejia doesn't
If you dare to come and don’t dare to send people to study, then this rumor is definitely not a rumor.”
"The master's plan is very good, and the old minister admires him."
Meng Yi also agreed with Fusu's strategy. Before there is conclusive evidence, one cannot jump to conclusions. It is best to test it out, which can save Hu Weishejia's face without giving him a reputation of doubt.
…
As the biggest news in the land of Hexi, this news will naturally not be spread only to Da Qin. King Yuezhi also soon learned of the news.
Different from Fusu's shock, King Yuezhi was more angry. He was just about to send his youngest son and the heirs of ministers and princes to the Imperial Academy of Qin to study. In the blink of an eye, such a rumor spread. This was an unknown instigation.
Is it the relationship between the Yuezhi and Qin? If it is not handled well, Fusu will once again find an excuse to send troops and drive him and his party out of Hexi.
Without waiting for Hu Weisejia to pass the edict, Xie Yanzhen and Wei Xi went to Hu Weisejia's royal tent. Apparently, these two people also learned about the rumors from the land west of Hexi.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty must have heard about those rumors about my Yuezhi, right?" Xie Yanzhen asked.
Huweishejia didn't speak, and nodded sadly.
"Your Majesty, I believe that this rumor is extremely malicious. The purpose of creating such a rumor at this time is to undermine my Yuezhi's plan to send the prince's son to study in Da Qin, and to provoke conflicts between my Yuezhi and Da Qin.
This has caused me, the Yuezhi, to fall into the wrath of Great Qin again."
"Prime Minister Zuo, how can I not know what you are saying? It's just that we have fallen into a passive position now. How should we deal with it to dispel Fusu's doubts?"
"Your Majesty, I believe that the purpose of the person who spread the rumor is to disrupt my Yuezhi's plan to send Prince Wang's son to the Great Qin Dynasty to study. Since he wants to hinder it, we must do it. This will dispel Fusu's doubts and say
Maybe we can find the person who spread the rumors."
Hu Weisejia and Xie Yanzhen were very satisfied with Wei Xi's idea.
A few days later, a letter written by Hu Weisejia was delivered to Fusu. In the letter, Hu Weisejia made it clear that he would send his youngest son and the heirs of a group of princes and ministers to study at Taixue in the Qin Dynasty. As for Fusu's invitation
I am afraid that I will not be able to travel to Da Qin for the time being. As long as the time is right in the future, I will definitely go to Da Qin to meet Fusu in person to express my gratitude to Fu Su for his kindness.
At the same time, the news that one hundred Yuezhi princes' heirs, including the youngest son of Huweisejia, went to study at the Great Qin Imperial Academy spread throughout the Yuezhi, Great Qin and the surrounding countries in the Western Regions.
It was a strategy secretly discussed by Hu Weesejia, Xie Yanzhen, and Wei Xijiu to make it public that the Yuezhi was sending the prince's son to study in Da Qin. The purpose was to fish out the mastermind behind the rumor.
According to common sense, as long as the person who spreads the rumor sees that the rumor he has fabricated does not cause conflicts between Da Qin and the Yueshi, he will definitely take further measures to create trouble and provoke trouble again.
Looking at Fusu again, although the previous rumors have been determined to be true or false, there is still a thorny matter that Fusu needs to deal with urgently, which is to find the Yuezhi mission that has been lost.
In desperation, Fusu sent 10,000 Huben troops to search along the mission route.
It's just that Fusu and Hu Weishejia never imagined that the man behind the scenes would come up with another vicious plan at this time, intending to once again provoke the war between the Yuezhi and Daqin.
