Chapter One Hundred and Nine: Rumors Spread

After hearing what Scorpion Yan Zhen said, Hu Wei Sejia smiled knowingly, and then cast an inquiring look at Wei Xi, but Wei Xi nodded, expressing his agreement with what Scorpion Yan Zhen had just said.

In Hu Wei Sejia's opinion, these two people were both smart people, and they should have thought of the great benefits to the Yue clan for sending people to study in Great Qin Taixue. The Yue clan has always been a big country before, under the attack of Tou Mandan, the national strength was seriously depleted, and was forced by Fusu to snatch away the land west of the Qianli River, and the national strength is declining, but where the Yue clan has a person of insight, who does not expect the Yue clan's national strength to recover again, and now Daqin takes the initiative to open up the Great Qin Taixue, which is tantamount to sending a pillow to the sleepy person.

Wei Xi was once sent by Hu Wei Sejia to Xianyang, and he was deeply touched by the way of Great Qin's governance, and he also knew that he was far inferior to Great Qin in governing the country, so he was overjoyed by Daqin's opening up of Taixue. Hu Wei Sejia, the king of the Yue clan, only knew that Great Qin was strong before, and did not fancy Great Qin's way of governing the country, but since he went to the four counties of Hexi, he understood it, so he expressed his feelings about Great Qin's national strength and governance in the court many times, which made the ministers such as Scorpion Yan Zhen who had not been to Qin Land affected, and naturally followed by a yearning for Great Qin.

Just when the Yue's monarchs and ministers were immersed in a joyous celebration, a news about the Yue's family reached Xianyang, shocking a group of Great Qin monarchs and ministers: it turned out to be a news that the Great Qin Detective heard from the land of Hexi, and it was rumored that the Yue's king Hu Wei Sejia had a grudge against Fusu because of the cession of the land west of the river, so he secretly colluded with the Xiongnu Mao Dun Shan Yu, intending to raise troops to recapture Hexi, and the Yue King Hu Wei Sejia had secretly sent troops to kill the mission sent by Fusu to Yue's and was ready to raise troops.

When Li Si and Meng Yi learned the news, they didn't dare to delay, and braved the night to go straight to Fusu's dormitory, Lanchi Palace, to report the news they suddenly received 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 Daqin have not visited together in the starry night, since they moved to this Lanchi Palace, these two prime ministers have not been to Lanchi Palace once, there should be something big.

So Fusu immediately rushed to the main hall of Lanchi Palace and met with Li Si.

After seeing Fusu, there was no excessive politeness after a simple salute between the monarchs and ministers, and Meng Yi directly reported the news to Fusu from the Tancai.

According to the situation faced by Daqin at this time, the possibility of the Yue clan and the Xiongnu uniting to attack Daqin is very small, but the mission sent by Daqin to the Yue clan did cut off the news, as if it disappeared out of thin air, which made Fusu have to doubt the correctness of this news.

"Prime Minister, why do I think this matter is a little strange? If you think about it, Tou Mandan's attack on the Yue Clan gave us an opportunity to take advantage of it, so that my Great Qin soldiers captured the land west of the river without blood. It stands to reason that the hatred between the Yue clan and the Xiongnu won't disappear so quickly, right? ”

"Childe, the old minister also thinks that there is something strange about this matter, the missions sent by my Great Qin to various places have sent letters back to Xianyang, but only the mission sent to the Yue clan has no news since the fifteenth day ago, this matter is strange, the old minister is difficult to judge the authenticity of this news for a while, so he and Meng Yi rushed to report to the prince in the starry night, and asked the prince to decide."

What Li Si said was not unreasonable, the missions to Yanqi, Qiuzi, Yiwu, Wusun, and other countries near Daqin, their news was reported every five days, even if it was occasionally delayed, it was delayed for two or three days. It stands to reason that the Yueshi is closer to Daqin than these countries, and there should be no information blockage, so why is there no news?

"No, if the King of the Yue Clan insists on being an enemy of my Great Qin, he will not take the initiative to repair the book and ask for trade, and there are many doubts at this time, so you must not ignore it." Fusu frowned slightly, and said cautiously.

"Childe, what do you think should be done with this matter?"

For Meng Yi's question, Fusu didn't know how to answer, so he had to bow his head and think about it.

After a few moments, Fusu came up with a great idea.

"Meng Yi, didn't I agree to Hu Wei Sejia's request to trade before, in addition to this, I also invited him to travel to Daqin, and gave them a hundred places for Yue to study in Daqin Taixue, or I will use this matter to test it, if Hu Wei Sejia is willing to travel to Daqin or send someone to study in Daqin Taixue, then it proves that Hu Wei Sejia has no two hearts, today's rumors are rumors, if Hu Wei Sejia does not dare to come, and does not dare to send people to study, then this rumor is definitely not a rumor."

"The son's plan is very good, and the old minister admires it."

Meng Yi also agreed with Fusu's strategy, without conclusive evidence, he could not rashly draw conclusions, it would be better to test it, not only to save Huwesega's face, but also not to fall into the reputation of suspicion.

……

As the biggest news in the land of Hexi, this news will naturally not only spread to Great Qin, and the King of the Yue Clan will soon learn of this news.

Different from Fusu's shock, the king of the Yue clan was more angry, he was just about to send his young son and the heirs of the ministers and princes to the Great Qin Taixue to study, and in a blink of an eye, such a rumor came out, is this not clear that he is provoking the relationship between the Yue clan and the Qin State? If it is not handled well, Fusu will once again find an excuse to send troops and drive his party out of the land west of the river.

Before Huwesega could pass on the edict, Scorpion Yanzhen and Weixi found Huwesega's royal tent, and it was obvious that the two had also learned of the rumors from the land west of the river.

"King, those rumors about my Yue Clan, I guess the King has also heard about them, right?" Scorpion Yan Zhen asked.

Huwesega didn't speak, but nodded depressedly.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates think that this rumor is extremely vicious, and the purpose of creating such a rumor at this time is to sabotage the fact that my Yue clan sent the prince's heir to study in Daqin, and even to provoke the contradiction between my Yue clan and Daqin, so that my Yue clan will fall into the anger of Daqin again."

"Zuo Duxiang, how can you not know about these kings, but now that we have fallen into passivity, how to deal with them to dispel Fusu's doubts?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty thinks that the purpose of the rumor-monger is to sabotage the fact that my Yue clan sent the prince's heir to Daqin Taixue to study, since he wants to hinder it, we will do it, so that we can not only dispel Fusu's doubts, but also maybe bring out the rumor-monger."

For Wei Xi's idea, Hu Wei Sejia and Scorpion Yan Zhen were very satisfied.

A few days later, a handwritten letter from Hu Wei Sejia was sent to Fusu, in which Hu Wei Sejia made it clear that he would send his young son and the children of a number of princes and ministers to study in Daqin Taixue, as for Fusu's invitation to travel to Daqin, I am afraid that I will not be able to make the trip for the time being, as long as the time is ripe in the future, I will definitely go to Daqin to meet Fusu in person, in order to thank Fusu for his kindness.

At the same time, the news that a hundred princes and heirs of the Yue clan, including Hu Wei Sejia's youngest son, had gone to study in Taixue in Great Qin spread throughout the Yue Clan, Great Qin, and the surrounding countries in the Western Regions.

Publicizing that the Yue clan was going to send the prince's heir to study in Great Qin was a strategy quietly agreed upon by Hu Wei Sejia, Scorpion Yan Zhen, and Wei Xi, and the purpose was to fish out the mastermind behind the rumor-mongering.

According to common sense, as long as the rumor-mongers see that the rumors they have fabricated have not caused contradictions between Daqin and the Yue Clan, they will inevitably take further measures to create trouble and provoke again.

Looking at Fusu's side again, although the truth of the previous rumors has been determined, there is still a tricky matter that Fusu needs to deal with urgently, that is, to find the Yueshi Mission that has lost its news.

In desperation, Fusu sent 10,000 tiger troops to search for them along the route of the mission.

It's just that Fusu and Hu Wei Sejia would have thought that the mastermind behind the scenes would come up with a poisonous plan at this time, intending to provoke a war between the Yue clan and Daqin again.
