With Fusu's sincere handwritten letter and Fusu's explanation, Fan Zeng felt relieved.
But Fan Zeng didn't seem to be satisfied yet. He was still looking at Fusu with burning eyes. He looked like a child asking for something he likes from an adult. His eyes were full of expectation, but he was afraid of being scolded. He looked like a lustful person.
The way he stopped talking.
"Mr. Fan Zeng, I wonder if you have any other appeals?"
Before Fan Zeng could take the initiative, Fusu asked first.
"Master, I want to boldly ask you for something, so I will take it with you to Muling Pass."
"Mr. Fan Zeng, couldn't you have mentioned it just now?" Fusu said helplessly.
Fan Zeng smiled bitterly, and then made his request to Fusu, "Sir, can I borrow your Prince Qin Sword when I go to Donghai County this time?"
"Bold, unbridled..." Before Fusu could say anything, the guard standing behind Fusu couldn't hold back.
According to the etiquette system of the Qin Dynasty, the bodyguard is only responsible for guarding Fusu's safety and cannot participate in court matters. However, this bodyguard was recruited by Fusu from the soldiers of Qingzhang Mountain and is loyal to Fusu.
, but now I suddenly saw that Fan Zeng’s request was a bit excessive, so I rashly rebuked Fan Zeng.
"This is not something you can comment on. Please step aside. I have my own opinion on this matter. Since you spoke rashly to safeguard the majesty of our Great Qin, I will not severely punish you for violating the rules. But if
It is unjustifiable to be exempted from the criminal law at all. You can go to the Tingwei tomorrow to get twenty punishment sticks."
"Nuo" The guard couldn't tell that Fusu was leaning towards him, so he quickly opened his mouth to accept the order.
Fusu Nian saw that the guard had rashly rebuked Fan Zeng in order to maintain his dignity, so he did not accuse the guard of violating the rules, but symbolically asked the scribe to go to the Tingwei to receive twenty military sticks.
However, Fusu doesn’t have to worry about twenty military sticks beating this guard, because the officials in the Tingwei Department are not stupid men. On the contrary, they are all human beings. No matter who they are, when they arrive at the Tingwei Department, they must ask for their guilt.
The process to be followed, if Tingwei understands the crime committed by this guard and Fusu's opinion of only giving him twenty military sticks, he will naturally understand what Fusu means, so he will never do it during the execution.
Cruel.
After dealing with the guard who rashly overstepped his control and scolded Fan Zeng, Fusu once again turned his attention to Fan Zeng's surprising proposal to borrow the King of Qin's Sword. Unlike Fusu, who was calm and calm, Fan Zeng was a little restless at this time.
Although Fusu had already dealt with the guard who rashly scolded him, Fan Zeng was deeply shocked by this incident.
"Mr. Fan Zeng, you have also seen that it is not easy for you to borrow the Qin King's Sword. Please tell me your intention of borrowing the Qin King's Sword and see if you can be worthy of the twenty army sticks received by this guard." Fusu smiled.
asked.
"My lord, it's just a slip of the tongue. I don't want to borrow the sword of King Qin anymore."
Seeing that Fan Zeng was frightened, Fusu looked at Fan Zeng with some sympathy, and then smiled knowingly.
"That's not okay. It's you who wants to borrow it, and you who don't want to borrow it. Do you think this King Qin's sword is a fire stick? No matter you borrow it or not, the guard's twenty army sticks can't escape anyway. Otherwise,
You'd better tell me the reason why you borrowed King Qin's sword."
Fan Zeng knew that he could no longer escape, so he only had to confess his intention to borrow the King of Qin's Sword to Fusu.
"My lord, I borrowed the King of Qin's sword without any selfish motives. It was all for the sake of the Muling Pass. My lord, think about it. Although your handwritten letter can persuade Zhang Han, the tens of thousands of troops under Zhang Han
What? You can’t let Zhang Han take out the letter from the prince to him to convince the public, right? In my opinion, the letter is used to persuade Zhang Han, and the sword of the King of Qin is used to persuade the soldiers and people of Hu Hai’s old land. This man in the world
, who doesn’t know the prestige of the King of Qin’s Sword? As long as Zhang Han holds the King of Qin’s Sword that the young master temporarily lent him, not to mention Donghai County, even the people in Jiujiang County and other areas occupied by Jiangdong will be devoted to Zhang Han.”
You can see a leopard in a tube, and you can see the whole leopard at a glance. Fusu has long been aware of Fan Zeng's talent. But he has never seen it so clearly. The two strategies presented to Fusu today are both gathering wisdom and feasibility.
It seems to be a simple strategy, but it reveals its heart-breaking power in ordinary times.
At this time, not only Fusu, but also the guard who liked to carry twenty military sticks also understood Fan Zeng's intention of borrowing the King of Qin's sword. The unhappiness in his heart that he was inexplicably convicted of twenty military sticks due to Fan Zeng's arrogant words also followed.
Fan Zeng's explanation disappeared into thin air.
Seeing that Fan Zeng's intention of borrowing the King of Qin Sword was so useful, Fusu happily took off the King of Qin Sword from his waist and handed it to Fan Zeng's hand.
Holding the King Qin Sword handed to him by Fusu, Fan Zeng had mixed feelings. When he came up with the idea of borrowing the King Qin Sword from Fusu, Fan Zeng also struggled with it. After all, the Sword of King Qin was another symbol of Qin's power besides the jade seal.
He had thought that Fusu might actually lend him the Qin King Sword, but he would never be happy to do so. Seeing Fusu's calm demeanor when he handed the Qin King Sword to him, it was hard for someone like Fan Zeng to
People who thought they knew Fusu were also shocked. That was the King of Qin's sword, which was a symbol of the power of the kings of Qin in the past. It was handed over to him easily by Fusu. What shocked Fan Zeng the most was that Fusu handed him the sword.
He was so relaxed that Fan Zeng couldn't believe that the sword in his hand was a fire stick instead of King Qin's sword.
Looking at Fan Zeng who was stunned holding the King Qin Sword in his hand, Fusu said interestingly: "Mr. Fan Zeng, this King Qin Sword belongs to you, why are you still so dull?"
"Young Master, I was impressed by your magnanimity, and now you have a dull look on your face. Please rest assured, sir, I will try my best to live up to your trust. When the affairs of Donghai County are completed, King Qin's sword will be returned to Zhao in its entirety."
Different from Fan Zeng's ambition, Fusu thought of an important point. Even if Zhang Han had the King of Qin Sword in his hand, without the help of great talents, even if he blocked the Jiangdong invasion, he would still suffer huge losses. According to the normal historical trend, this would
Fan Zeng is Xiang Yu's number one adviser. What if Fan Zeng is also temporarily lent to Zhang Han so that Fan Zeng can assist Zhang Han against Xiang Yu?
After having an idea, Fusu's heart was throbbing.
"Mr. Fan Zeng, Fusu thinks that Zhang Han lacks more than just the King of Qin sword. I would like to lend Zhang Han another King of Qin sword, and this sword of King Qin is a hundred times sharper than the one in your hand."
Now it was Fan Zeng's turn to be confused. Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, there has been only one King Qin Sword. How could I have heard of two swords of King Qin!
