Chapter 519: New Quest (Second Update)
There were no envoys, no officials, only an edict sent by a guard who was close to Yinggao, but it was such an inconspicuous edict, but Fusu was greatly surprised when he saw it.
It turned out that there were only a few short sentences in this edict, but the meaning was very clear, first expressing Fusu's indelible contribution to Nanhai County and Daqin over the years, and then it was a change of words, asking Fusu to hand over the security and governance of Nanhai County to Liu Wei, who was not far from him, and he immediately set off back to Xianyang City with an army of 50,000 and his family.
"What? The king asked the prince to return to Xianyang City? ”
After getting the news, Fusu did not make a noise, but informed his wife of the news as soon as possible, and after his wife expressed her doubts, she also read the letter written by Yinggao to Fusu.
"According to what the king said, I and the whole government will return to Xianyang." Fusu nodded silently, in fact, for Xianyang, Fusu still has a very deep feeling, after all, that is where he grew up, although he has been reunited with his family in Nanhai County for so many years, but there is always a little bit of missing Xianyang.
But all of a sudden, he left the Nanhai County that he had been operating for a long time and returned to Xianyang, Fusu was still a little unacceptable emotionally, not that he was unwilling, but that there was no buffer process, and the sudden news was always a little unacceptable, and it was already regarded by Fusu as his second hometown, and he always had to say goodbye when he left.
"The king can't be suspicious of Childe and want to take any action against Childe, right?"
Fusu's wife is still a very sensitive person, for this sudden news, she can't help but start to think about the worst, especially now that Yinggao handed over the pursuit of Hu Hai to Fusu when he left last time, but now Fusu has no results, what Mrs. Fusu thinks in her heart is undoubtedly that if Yinggao thinks that Fusu can't bring Hu Hai to justice, he did it on purpose, which may not be a good thing for Fusu.
"The king is not such a person, if he is not satisfied with me, I am afraid that he has already attacked me directly, since he became the emperor of Daqin, and even before he became the emperor of Daqin, he has never done a single such thing, and naturally it will not be on me, not to mention that the king asked me to return to Xianyang City with 50,000 horses from Nanhai County, there must be something in this, alas, it is useless to talk more, prepare to pack!"
In the end, Ying Gao waved his hand at his wife, obviously he still believed in Ying Gao very much in his heart, but he had been in Nanhai County for so many years, and finally failed to retire because his other brother disappeared in the place under his jurisdiction, which really made Fu Su a little unhappy, who was very strict with himself.
On the second day after Fusu received Yinggao's edict, Liu Wei came from Guilin County, obviously he had also received Yinggao's edict, and in the case of Nanhai County without a new county guard, it was temporarily under his jurisdiction, after all, the people and various situations in the three counties of Lingnan are almost the same, and it is almost the same whether one person is in charge of one county or two counties.
As for Liu Wei, although he came to Guilin County later, he was already an old comrade-in-arms of Fusu, and he was very appreciative of Liu Wei, Fusu was also very appreciative, and he introduced Liu Wei to the officials of Nanhai County, and told Liu Wei what needed to be paid attention to in Nanhai County, and after these were completed, Fusu resolutely left this place where he had lived for several years with an army of 50,000 and all his families.
After Fusu left, the original army of nearly 300,000 in Nanhai County was reduced to only 70,000 or 80,000 after several cuts, and now the command of these soldiers and horses fell into the hands of Liu Wei.
According to Yinggao's order, after the three counties of Lingnan integrated the soldiers and horses of Guilin and Xiangjun, there were about 100,000 soldiers and horses, and these 100,000 soldiers and horses were not responsible for the guards of one county
Liu Wei deeply felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier than before, and in his own heart, he also sweated for Fusu, after all, he had done a good job, but now he was suddenly called back by the emperor, and it was a little incomprehensible to put this matter on anyone.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to hand over that matter to Prince Fusu? If Fusu Gongzi is dissatisfied, I'm afraid he may not be as dedicated as he was in Nanhai County! ”
When Fusu was walking back with the soldiers and horses, in the hall of Yinggao, Yinggao, Xiao He and Han Xin didn't know what they were discussing, and the matter they were discussing happened to talk about Fusu.
"First of all, although Fusu is my brother, he is also an official of Great Qin, and I look at the people above the entire Great Qin court, there is really no more suitable person than Fusu, as for whether the elder brother has any concerns in his heart, I have to wait until he comes back to straighten it out......"
Obviously, when he said the last sentence, even Yinggao had a little doubt about his own approach, which couldn't help but make Han Xin and Xiao He all look at each other, and then shook their heads helplessly, obviously they were also very helpless about this matter, and finally after the two left, Yinggao stood by the window and calmed down, and then summoned his guards and ordered them to clean up Fusu's mansion and wait for Fusu's return.
When Fusu really arrived outside the gate of Xianyang City, Yinggao was still waiting at the city gate with a group of officials, and Fusu and his wife, who were still a little unsupportive, saw this formation, and their hearts were also a lot more stable.
Because Fusu has not returned to Xianyang City for a long time, many officials and some sons of Daqin have been waiting outside Fusu's mansion early, and it is obvious that this ushering in is enough for Fusu to deal with.
But before these people had time to see Fusu, Fusu had already been invited to Xianyang Palace by Yinggao, and they were summoned alone.
Because the two had already met each other in Nanhai County before, they didn't seem to be strangers, and after greeting each other, Fusu first asked: "I don't know if the king summoned us back at this time, is there any urgent matter that needs Fusu?" ”
Hearing Fusu's words, Yinggao could only smile, acquiescing to Fusu's guess, but then changed to a rather serious look, obviously what he was going to say later was still very important to Daqin.
"I don't know how much my brother knows about my Great Qin's attack on the Peacock Dynasty?"
"Hasn't the Mauryan Dynasty been taken down by the king? Now even the monarch of the Peacock Dynasty has been imprisoned in the prison of my Great Qin, and the soldiers of the Peacock Dynasty are difficult to withstand under the attack of the elite soldiers of my Great Qin, and it is naturally even more difficult for them to restore the country. ”
As soon as he thought that Yinggao let himself come back with an army of 50,000, Fusu's heart was stunned, and he said that the edict issued by Yinggao before was just to stabilize the mentality of the people and officials of Daqin, and the real situation of the Peacock Dynasty was not like this?
"Brother is too worried, the Peacock Dynasty has indeed basically fallen into the hands of my Great Qin, except for a small amount of territory allocated to the Xiongnu Shan Yu Xiang Yu, together with the capital of the Peacock Dynasty, a large amount of territory has already belonged to my Great Qin, but what is the difficulty in this?"
"Could it be that the people of the Mauryan Empire are not easy to tame?"
"That's not true, but my brother can know that my Great Qin wants to divide people to manage a dynasty whose territory is no different from that of my Great Qin, and there are really not so many people available."
"The king's meaning is to let Fusu manage the land of the Peacock Dynasty, this matter is absolutely unacceptable, the distance between the Peacock Dynasty and the Great Qin is really a little far, once I arrive at the Peacock Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be a lot of criticism from the top and bottom of the Great Qin Dynasty, which is definitely not a good thing for you and my brothers."
As soon as Fusu heard Yinggao's words, he hurriedly waved his hand, obviously he knew that although his relationship with Yinggao had been handled quite well so far, the Peacock Dynasty was a very hot potato for him, if he really went, it was estimated that people who had anti-Qin or dissatisfied thoughts with Yinggao would rush to his side, if it was really at that time, Yinggao would not be able to trust him.
"Brother, rest assured, I naturally will not put my brother on the unkind and unrighteous realm, the reason why I hesitate this time is because the task I want to assign to my brother this time is really a bit difficult, and it is very different from Nanhai County in any way, so I did not give a direct order, but let my brother go back to Xianyang City to recuperate for a period of time, by the way, look at what my brother thinks, if my brother doesn't want to go, I will not be reluctant, whether I want to return to Nanhai County, or stay in Xianyang City, It's all up to my brother to decide! ”
Ying Gao said this, it can be regarded as enough face for Fusu, first of all, this matter is not only that Fusu doesn't know what it is, Ying Gao obviously hasn't announced it in Daqin's court, now only the two of them are present, if Fusu really refuses, Ying Gao will treat this incident as if it has not happened, and Fusu will regard it as returning to Xianyang City to spend a vacation, which is a very reliable statement.
"Something hard? My territory of Daqin is so vast, it is naturally very difficult no matter where it is, since the monarch believes in Fusu, no matter where it is, Fusu will naturally do his best, if even I can't bear the hardships, how can other officials be willing to serve my Daqin? Just say it on the matter! ”
In the end, there was still a bit of doubt in Fusu's words, although Yinggao had already thought that it should be such a result, but Fusu could have such loyalty to himself, which he really didn't expect.
"Brother doesn't know, the people in the Peacock Dynasty don't understand my Great Qin in terms of language, and even the system is incompatible with my Great Qin, so I won't rashly send officials to the Peacock Dynasty to manage them, once the behavior is inappropriate, it will inspire the rebellion of the people of the Peacock Dynasty, I naturally don't want this to happen."
"Then I don't know what the king wants me to do......"
"Brother should know that General Han Xin and Xiongnu Shan Yu Xiang Yu entered the Peacock Dynasty by land, and before that, I sent Lu Jia from my Great Qin Dynasty to explore that barren land, and then I found the entrance to the Peacock Dynasty, and now that place has been set up by me as a county of Great Qin, called the Western Regions, this land was originally as big as four or five counties I took to, but because of the alliance with the Xiongnu, I have given Xiang Yu as much as half, And the other half has already had a lot of immigrants at this time, and I have already sent some well-known officials from all over Great Qin to there, and in the next step, there will also accept some people from the Peacock Dynasty, as the first batch of people who are familiar with the laws and policies of my Great Qin, this group of people from the Peacock Dynasty is extremely important for the future development of my Great Qin in the land of the Peacock Dynasty, and at present, there is only one county guard lacking in this Western Regions! ”
After explaining so much, Ying Gao finally saw the dagger in the last sentence, and it was obvious that he had brought his brother back, and he was asked to be the county guard.
"In this way, this county guard of the Western Regions is really very important to how Great Qin manages the Peacock Dynasty in the future, but does the monarch really think that I can take on this responsibility?"
"The affairs of the Peacock Dynasty cannot be rushed, and we can only wait until the people of the Peacock Dynasty in the Western Regions fully recognize Great Qin, and then we can put them back to spread the laws and ideas of Great Qin, and at the same time, my brother should also understand the characteristics of the people of the Peacock Dynasty in the Western Regions, and train the officials I assigned to my brother to become qualified officials, so that when the time is ripe, I will take up important positions in the Peacock Dynasty.
"Since the king trusts me, I have no reason to refuse this matter......"
"Brother and slow, before you were in Nanhai County, it was a humid and hot climate, but this Western Regions is very different, the wind and snow in the Western Regions are raging, and the air is thin, and it is a bitter cold place that is more serious than Yan Zhao, my brother must go back to the mansion to think about it first, if the body is not competent, then you must not go!"
