Next, Zhao Tuo and several sons and princesses chatted about some customs and customs in Chu.

As the two little boys talked, the topic turned to the traitor Xiong Qi.

Gongzi Gao said that sooner or later he would arrest the traitor and beat him to death.

Gongzi Ronglu said that when the traitor was caught, he would spit on the traitor.

When the two young sons were indignant, Zhao Tuo noticed that Fusu wanted to speak several times and stopped, and his expression was faintly sad.

Zhao Tuo was thoughtful, after such a long period of contact, he also knew a lot about Fusu.

This son is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart and quite capable in learning.

It's just that Fusu's character has a benevolent and affectionate side.

And Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun have too much influence on him.

For Fusu, since he was born, he has rarely enjoyed the care and teaching given by his father, and in addition to his mother, who was born in the Chu State, he often accompanied him in teaching, and the two princes of the Chu State who stayed in the Qin State and were interested in getting close to him.

Qin Wangzheng was too busy and busy, since he ascended the throne, he has faced many crises, and there are too many major events that have exhausted his efforts.

Chang'an Juncheng rebelled against Zhao, and Chang Yu rebelled against the Empress Dowager, and overthrew Lü Buwei through the matter of Chang Yu...... After that, he inherited the will of the previous kings of the Qin State and launched a war to destroy the country.

Destroy Korea, destroy Zhao, conquer Yan, overthrow Wei, and then Li Xin and Chu last year......

Big things one after another, there are too many things that Qin Wangzheng needs to deal with, control, and worry about, even if he lies on the bed at night, he still thinks about all kinds of important military affairs of Qin State in his mind.

How much energy and time does he have to care for his son?

Qin Wangzheng only occasionally thought of Fusu in his spare time, and invited him to ask about the right school, but most of the time it was mostly reprimanded.

In this case, Chang Wenjun, who had retired to his home, and Chang Pingjun, who was interested in participating, took advantage of the situation and approached with a gentle and kind face, guiding Fusu with Dundun's teachings.

Even invisibly, they also replaced Qin Wangzheng and exercised part of their responsibilities as fathers, education.

And so on and so forth.

The relationship between Fusu and them is not deep. Therefore, when he knew that Changping Jun was in rebellion, he couldn't help but say "There must be a reason for the rebellion", and even wanted to defend the two princes of Chu.

At that moment, Fusu was not defending the "traitor of Qin" as the "prince of Qin".

Rather, for Fusu, it was two of his most respected teachers, and even to some extent a "father", who defended his two most beloved elders from a personal point of view, from the point of view of a teenage child.

This is the love in Fusu's character.

But Fusu didn't realize that with his status and status, he shouldn't have said that kind of thing.

He is the son of Qin.

Xiong Qi is a traitor to the Qin State.

Therefore, Fusu was in the palace that day, which completely angered the king of Qin.

Zhao Tuo saw that his expression was quite sad, and then thought of the relationship between Fusu and the two princes of Chu, and guessed most of it.

He had no intention of participating in the affairs of the princes of Qin, at least now he did not want to and did not want to get involved.

But helplessly, Fusu and Yingyin Yan are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and they are quite friendly to him, and Zhao Tuo has entered the palace many times in the name of Fusu. In the eyes of others, even if Zhao Tuo is unwilling, I am afraid that he will be linked to Fusu.

Zhao Tuo hesitated slightly, and took the initiative to speak: "Gongzi knows that Xiong Qi is deeply trusted by the king, why did he choose to betray my Qin State?" ”

Fu Su was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask Zhao Jun for advice." ”

"Because he is the prince of Chu."

Zhao Tuo said in a deep voice: "Even if Xiong Qi was born in the Qin State, grew up in the Qin State, and has been the prime minister of the Qin State for ten years, it can't be changed after all, what flows in his body is the blood of the surname Chu Wang. In Xiong Qi's heart, he identified with the identity of the prince of Chu, not the prime minister of Qin. ”

"Xiong Qi chose his own identity, and he would do things from the perspective of this identity, so when the Chu State was about to encounter the danger of destruction, he raised the anti-flag in Huaiyang and cut off the back road of our Qin army, so as to let the Chu State win a great victory and avoid the danger of destruction."

"This is the reason for his Xiong Qi's betrayal, he identifies with his identity as the prince of Chu State, and has the obligation and responsibility to save Chu State!"

"Prince of Chu...... Identity......"

Fusu whispered, he remembered the conversation with Qin Wangzheng in the palace that day, and in the face of what he said, "There must be a reason for rebellion", Qin Wangzheng roared angrily, "Xiong Qi is the son of Chu State"!

It turns out that this is called "identity".

Zhao Tuo saw that Fusu seemed to have an understanding, so he officially showed the "sword".

"Gongzi is well versed in Confucianism, and he also knows Confucius's words 'not in his position, not in his government'. If it is said the other way around, it is 'in its place, seeking its government'. ”

"If a person has his own identity, then he should start from the position of this identity and do what this identity should do.

Speaking of which, Zhao Tuo is trying to see the dagger.

"Just as Gongzi is the son of the king, the bloodline of the surname Ying determines the identity of Gongzi as soon as he is born. No matter what Gongzi thinks or does, in the eyes of the people of the world, Gongzi's identity is always the eldest son of my Qin Kingdom! ”

"Therefore, everything that the prince thinks and does, should start from the identity of the eldest son of the Qin State, and all actions must be based on the interests of my Qin State and the interests of the Gongzi Ying family. Only in this way will the king love Childe even more! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Tuo looked at Fusu with blazing eyes.

In Zhao Tuo's perception, Fusu's biggest problem is that under the influence of those two Chu people, he is too close to Chu and loves Chu culture, which causes Fusu to be very confused about his identity, and he always can't distinguish his identity when he speaks and acts.

Contrary to Fusu, Gongzi Gao and Gongzi Ronglu have not been deliberately guided by others, and they have a very clear understanding of their identity as the sons of Qin, so although the two of them are young, when they hear about Xiong Qi's rebellion against Chu, they can't help but be filled with righteous indignation, and there will be no trouble like Fusu at all.

Fusu, the eldest son of Qin, is close to Chu in his heart.

Qin skin and bones.

How can you make Qin Wangzheng like it?

Therefore, Zhao Tuo's words today are to wake up Fusu.

If he could remove the Chu bones in his body and replace them with the bones of the Qin people, so that he could clearly know his identity as the eldest son of the Qin State, and start from this position in everything he said and did in the future, then Qin Wangzheng would naturally no longer hate him.

Fu Su's body was shocked, with his intelligence, he naturally knew that Zhao Tuo was talking about himself through Xiong Qi's matter, and the words of identity really shocked him.

Fu Su thought about it carefully, what he said and did in the past seemed to be really contrary to the identity of the eldest son of Qin, and every time his father was angry, it seemed to be related to these.

Of course, long-term thinking and thinking are not something that can be changed immediately by Zhao Tuo's words, but Fusu finally clearly understood his own problems for the first time.

He took a deep breath, got up and bowed to Zhao Tuo and said, "Fusu, thank you for Zhao Jun's teachings." ”

"Childe is polite, just a little talk, if it can be beneficial to Childe, it would be great."

Zhao Tuo smiled and returned the salute.

Yingyin Yanxiu, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, raised her eyebrows, stared at Zhao Tuo with beautiful eyes, and said, "Then you Zhao Tuo, what do you think you are?" ”

Zhao Tuo said with a smile: "Today's Zhao Tuo is a Qin general!" ”

……

As a foreign minister, Zhao Tuo was inconvenient to stay in the palace for a long time, and after saying goodbye to the princess and the princes, he walked out of the palace under the guidance of the waiter.

When he returned to the mansion, Zhao Tuo still had a smile on his face.

I haven't seen her for a long time, but the princess is really so cute.

Now in Xianyang, although he can't often go to the palace to meet, it is much more convenient to communicate.

"The king said last time that only the pillars of the country could match his daughter, I don't know if he has made a decision this time."

Zhao Tuo thought to himself.

Thinking of the princess, his thoughts couldn't help but turn to his rival family.

"Li Si sent a gift to congratulate me on my promotion, according to etiquette, I went to visit me from now on, just to see his attitude."

Zhao Tuo thought of this, so he asked the attendants in the mansion to prepare gifts, and at the same time sent someone to deliver a letter of worship to Li Si's mansion and make an appointment to visit.

On the second day, Zhao Tuo asked people to carry gifts and went to visit with the little lamb in his arms.

Li Si opened the door of the mansion and came out to greet Zhao Tuo in person, looking very enthusiastic.

"The elders greeted each other, which really flattered the kid."

Zhao Tuo hurriedly saluted.

Li Si laughed, "Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, you are now a mid-level knight, and the old man welcomes you, which is also a matter of course." ”

Zhao Tuo smiled awkwardly.

This is a small disadvantage after his promotion.

Li Si, Li Xin and others, who were high in the past, were caught up by Zhao Tuo in a blink of an eye, but Zhao Tuo and their qualifications and ages are very different, and it is quite embarrassing to meet each other.

Zhao Tuo said humbly: "Duke Li is an elder and a minister of the pillar stone of the Qin State, no matter what the title of the little viscount is, he respects Duke Li very much. ”

"Hehe, as far as you Zhao Tuo will say. You and I have long had an old friendship, so we won't be polite, so come with me into the house. ”

Li Si smiled and led Zhao Tuo into the house.

Zhao Tuo's eyes were sharp, and he found that Li Si was walking a little abnormally, and his left leg looked like it had been hit by something, and he was quite lame.

As a guest junior, he is not easy to ask, but he is curious, and he doesn't know whether Li Si is lame or crippled.

After the two entered the house, it was polite again, Li Si invited Zhao Tuo to drink soup, eat melons and fruits, and chat with each other about some interesting things, chatting and chatting inevitably about the previous war against Chu.

Li Si stroked his beard and sighed: "Although you Zhao Tuo is young, you really have the demeanor of a soldier and a saint, and the demeanor of fighting against the water, even a person like me who does not know military affairs sounds admired." Win more with less, defeat strong with weak, how strong! ”

Zhao Tuo said humbly: "Li Gongbai praised the boy, that battle was all a fluke, he was able to survive in the death, all because the other party did not take precautions, so that the strange soldiers in the rear made great contributions." If the enemy had been prepared, I am afraid that not only would things not have come to fruition, but there would also be a danger of overthrowing. ”

Li Si bowed slightly, quite agreeing.

The two chatted happily about many things, and Zhao Tuo saw that Li Si was calm about him, with a warm and gentle attitude, and the vigilance in his heart was slightly relaxed.

It seems that Li You's affair did not have a great impact on Li Si, and he did not have the intention of turning his face against himself.

The two talked a few more words, and Zhao Tuo said goodbye in time.

A moment later, Li Si sent Zhao Tuo away and walked back to the mansion, and the smiling face he had just chatted with Zhao Tuo had long since disappeared.

Now that there were no outsiders present, Li Si rubbed his sore left leg and simply sat on the couch.

Although this Zhao Tuo is young, he speaks without leakage, which is far from being comparable to Han Fei back then. He is favored by the king, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he cannot be an enemy for the time being. Unless he loses on the battlefield and repeats Li Xin's old ......"

"Before that, it is important to make fellowship with friends."

Just when Li Si decided in his heart that he would continue to be friendly with Zhao Tuo on the surface in the future.

Li You walked in.

"You'er, I just talked to Zhao Tuo, this son is quite mature in mind and strategy, and now he is favored by the king, and he can't be easily shaken. Thou shalt not be an enemy of him in thy presence, as you hear it. ”

Li Si opened his mouth to mention his son, afraid that he would make things worse and worse because of his momentary anger.

Who would have thought that Li would come from here, but he had another purpose.

He nodded first, and then his eyes lit up and said, "Father, I have already figured it out, I will not clash with that Zhao Tuo face to face." What you said before makes sense, if you want to get the favor of the king, if you want to get glory, and even the princess, the only way to make meritorious service on the battlefield is to serve people with honors. ”

"Now the king wants to send General Wang Jian to lead a large army to attack Chu, with the skills of General Wang, he wants to come to this battle and is different from Li Xin. I want to ask for my life to be part of this battle, and I will get up from where I fall! ”

"I want to make meritorious service on the battlefield and get back the title I lost!"

In the end, Li You was full of spirits, and his mental state was very different from the appearance of sinking a few days ago.

Li Si was quite surprised, and he didn't know why his son suddenly opened up.

However, he saw that Li You was in a very good state of mind and full of high morale, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

Li Si turned to think that this time the Qin Wangzheng attack on Chu was to let Wang Jian lead the troops and lead the army of 600,000 to the south, and this battle was probably still a big victory.

He said happily: "Very good, you are so confident, you are my son of Li Si." Since you have such a fighting spirit, I should ask for your life and let you go to Chudi to be ashamed! ”

Seeing that Li Si agreed to come down.

Li You's eyes were full of determination, and he whispered in his heart: "Father, you wait and see, I will go to Chudi again this time, and I will never abandon the army and run away, I don't want to be the 'Li Run' in the Xianyang population again." ”

"I, Li You, also have to fight against the water! Win the glory that belongs to me! ”

Li You raised his head confidently.

In the past two days, he studied carefully in the mansion and seriously understood Zhao Tuo's battle against the water.

Less wins more, weak wins stronger.

It was that simple.

Zhao Tuo can do it.

Why can't he do it?

As long as he doesn't run away, he can fight with the soldiers, win more with less, defeat the strong with the weak, and create a glorious record that belongs to him Li You!

At that time, it was his Li You's name that was praised in Xianyang City......
