Just when Hu Hai was killing all the ministers, Meng Yi led Xiao He, Fan Zeng, Han Xin, Peng Yue and Yingbu into the Xianyang Palace. After receiving the report from the gatekeepers, Fusu went straight to the Qilin Palace. Firstly, it was for himself.
I am happy to have recruited Xiao He, Fan Zeng and other great talents. Secondly, I am also very curious about what these heroes who have left a great reputation in history look like.
Fusu looked at Xiao He, Fan Zeng and others standing behind Meng Yi, with a happy smile on his face. These people were all great talents in governing the country in history. How could he not be excited to be under his command today?
Seeing Fusu walking up to him, Meng Yi began to introduce Xiao He and others to Fusu one by one.
"This is Xiao He, the chief official of Pei County," Meng Yi pointed at Xiao He and introduced.
"Your Majesty Xiao He pays homage to the Young Master"
"Master Xiao, it's easy for Fusu to wait!" Fusu said with a smile. Then he carefully looked at Xiao He in front of him, and saw that his decent clothes reflected Xiao He's elegant and calm temperament. Fusu nodded with satisfaction.
He nodded, and then walked over to the old man beside Xiao He.
"My lord, this is Fan Zeng, a famous scholar from Hu'an"
"Fusu has heard of Mr. Fusu's name for a long time. It's a great honor for Fusu to meet him today." Fusu said, looking at the old man with white beard and hair in front of him.
According to the historical trend, Fan Zeng was going to defect to the Xiang clan in Jiangdong a year later, but the appearance of Xu Yun's time-travel version of Fusu completely disrupted the original historical trend and advanced the time for the Xiang clan to raise troops by a whole year, resulting in
Fan Zeng, who was supposed to have gone out to assist the Xiang family, was still wandering in Juhuan. Only then was he deceived by Meng Yi into Xianyang.
"Fan Zeng is very grateful to be appreciated by the young master. However, he is already in his late seventies and may not be able to hold a big position." Fan Zeng said somewhat against his will.
"Sir, you must not say that you are old. Jiang Shang met King Wen in his eighties and assisted King Wu to rule the world. The Duke of Zhou is old, but he can still assist the kings of the Zhou Dynasty. You cannot say that you are old in your seventies. I have a poem to share with you. I also wish to encourage you.
I hope Mr. Fusu will not dislike Fusu’s poor literary talent.”
After a while, Fusu handed the written silk scarf to Fan Zeng. After just one glance, Fan Zeng was attracted by the verses on the silk scarf. The more he looked at it, the more he fell in love with it, and finally he could not help but recite it aloud.
"Although the divine tortoise has a long life, it still has its time; the soaring snake rides on the mist, but it will eventually become ashes. The old man has his ambition to reach a thousand miles; the martyr's old age is full of ambition. The period of growth and shrinkage is not only in the sky; the blessing of nourishing happiness can lead to eternal life.
.Fortunately, I sing to express my ambition."
"What a great old man, with great ambitions and extraordinary talents. I admire him," Meng Yi started to praise.
If Cao Cao in later generations is lucky enough to read this poem, what will he think?
With his extraordinary resourcefulness and talent, isn't this the Ming Zhu he is looking for? Fan Zeng has been waiting for the opportunity to show off his talent all his life, but he has been waiting for seventy years. Now that he is nearly 70 years old, he has given up.
He came up with the idea of running the country and benefiting the world.
After the death of the First Emperor, the two sons Fusu and Hu Hai seized power, causing the Xiang family in Jiangdong, Zhao Tuo of Nanyue and others to take the opportunity to rebel. Fan Zeng's ambition, which had cooled down, began to become active again. Seeing that the Xiang family in Jiangdong occupied the three counties in Jiangdong with overwhelming force
, he placed his hopes on the Xiang family and prepared to defect to Jiangdong. Unexpectedly, before leaving, he saw Fusu's "Essay on Impeaching Zhao Gao and Hu Hai".
People in the world saw loyalty and filial piety from Fusu's words, but he saw Fusu's cunningness. The three counties of Jiuyuan, Kuaiji, and Sishui were exchanged for the Emperor Zi's palace to be buried in Xianyang. It seemed that Fusu was extremely filial, but it was actually a trap.
Hu Hai's plan. Jiuyuan County is in the northern border of the Qin Dynasty, thousands of miles away from the East County where Hu Hai is located, and there is Meng Tian's 200,000 troops flanking him. Does Hu Hai dare to take back Jiuyuan County? As for Kuaiji County, it is even more ridiculous.
It has been occupied by the Xiang family. If Hu Hai wants to take it back, he can only take it back from Xiang Yu. This is a plan to drive away wolves and fight tigers. As for Sishui County, it was originally Hu Hai's territory, but it was just a favor from Fusu.
.
Using the position of a prince to supervise the country, if the power of the Qin Dynasty is lost, it will no longer be called the king or ascended to the throne. It seems to support Su Zhizhi, but it is actually a plan to support Su Taohui. The anti-Qin forces will naturally regard the Qin Emperor Hu Hai as their first enemy.
, thus neglecting the young master Fusu.
After reading Fusu's "Essay against Zhao Gao and Hu Hai", Fan Zeng's confidence in the Jiangdong Xiang family dropped sharply. Judging from the strategies revealed in the appeal, Fusu's ingenuity could be called a monster, and he was definitely no match for the Jiangdong Xiang family.
After a period of time, Fan Zeng put away his intention to join the Xiang family in Jiangdong, and waited quietly in Juzhuan. However, he did not want to wait for Meng Yi, the envoy from Fusu, who had arrived. After some thought, he decided to go to Xianyang with Meng Yi for a visit. Just now
Seeing that Fusu made such an article with a wave of his hand, he was already impressed by Fusu's literary, Taoist and military strategies, and made a decisive decision to follow Fusu.
"If I wish to serve as the prince's staff, I must act like an old man and have great ambitions," Fan Zeng said with determination.
"Sir, these three are Peng Yue, Han Xin, and Ying Bu." Meng Yi pointed at the three people standing behind Fan Zeng, an old man and two young men.
Fusu looked at Meng Yi suspiciously. Could it be that this guy also traveled through time and knew that these three unlucky guys in history had the same ending, so he tied the three of them together and introduced them.
"The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of the earth," Fusu said and looked at Meng Yi expectantly.
"Sir, what are you talking about?" Meng Yi asked curiously.
Fusu ignored Meng Yi and turned his attention to Peng Yue and the others.
The man with a face full of vicissitudes but a tough look is Peng Yue. The young man in his twenties with dark skin should be Han Xin. As for the middle-aged man with a large tattoo on his face, he must be Yingbu.
"I'm Peng Yue, I'm Han Xin, I'm Yingbu, I'd like to pay my respects to the young master." The three of them saw Fusu staring at them and saluted together.
"Fusu is very grateful to you all for coming back," Fusu said with emotion.
"Meng Yi should be remembered as the first contributor to this matter."
"Master, Meng Yi is not talented. He only recruited these five people. Zhang Liang refused to come to Xianyang. Zhang Han is stubborn and Long Qi has surrendered to Jiangdong Xiangliang. Please punish me," Meng Yi said with some shame.
"Meng Yi, I don't blame you for this. Being able to recruit these five talents is already a great achievement." Fusu said with satisfaction as he looked at Xiao He and others in front of him.
"Mi Fu, you go and make arrangements. I'm going to hold a banquet in Shanglin Garden to entertain all the great talents. You go and convey my order to invite the ministers to Shanglin Garden." Fusu made arrangements to Mi Fu, the maid behind him.
"Meng Yi, I have one more thing for you to do. I will explain it to you in detail when we get to Shanglin Garden."
