Looking at Li You's departing figure, Fu Su snorted coldly and instructed the little eunuch next to him, "Go and invite Master Zhou over." ”

Compared with Li You and the children of powerful people, Fusu now trusts Zhou Qingchen and others more.

In the past two years, Zhou Qingchen has taken the lead and led a group of Confucian scholars to carefully plan for Fusu, and Fusu's strength has increased greatly.

Fusu, which was originally known as a virtuous person in Chang'an City, was propagated throughout the country by Confucianism, and the name of "benevolence and righteousness" was spread all over the world, and was praised by countless people of the Great Qin.

Therefore, it has also attracted a large number of virtuous people to take refuge, and it is roughly estimated that there are more than 100 people above the middle grade.

With the help of Confucianism, Fusu secretly received the support of countless Great Qin officials and the refuge of local martial arts families.

These are the confidence of Fusu, even if the Li family is in full swing? Let's not talk about whether Li You is really wavering, no matter how loyal he is, the support for him is not great, so what if he gives up?

Zhou Qingchen was summoned by Fusu and immediately rushed to Qiyang Palace, and after Fusu saw him, he first told Li You about it.

Fusu now advocates the concept of Confucianism very much, believing that people should be honest with each other, and they will not hide their life mentors.

After hearing this, Zhou Qingchen lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and sighed: "This Li You is so bad, he has calculated for Hu Hai." ”

Fusu was slightly stunned: "Master Zhou is saying that Li You didn't lie to me? Did I misunderstand him?"

Zhou Qingchen shook his head: "It's not that Gongzi misunderstood, it was that Li You was calculated, but Gongzi was also a victim, and he lost a little bit of power invisibly." ”

Fusu said with a look of disbelief: "But Li Si's punishment of the officials who impeached Hu Hai will not be calculated by Hu Hai, right?"

Zhou Qingchen explained: "The reason for this matter is also simple, after all, it was only Hu Hai's subordinates who killed people, not Hu Hai himself, and those officials concentrated their firepower to attack Hu Hai, if this matter angered Your Majesty, Your Majesty instructed Li Si to punish those officials, it is logical." ”

As an elder of one of the Confucian factions, Zhou Qingchen's ability is naturally extraordinary, and he easily guessed the attitude of Emperor Qin on this matter.

"This matter is full of doubts, how should Master Zhou explain?"

Zhou Qingchen sighed: "100,000 gold is better to say, the son only needs to ask if the 100,000 gold, whether the Li Mansion has accepted it, and understand." ”

Fusu immediately summoned a little eunuch and gave a few orders.

Half an hour later, the news that the Li Mansion not only did not collect 100,000 gold, but also almost fought with the people sent by Hu Hai reached Fusu's ears.

After hearing this, Fusu's face was cloudy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This Hu Hai, it's really not like it, originally I came back this time, and I wanted to be a good brother with his brothers, friends and brothers, so it seems that it is not good to teach him a lesson." ”

"Master Zhou, this Hu Hai is so stubborn, I don't know if Master Zhou can teach him a good lesson, let him know that he should maintain due respect for his brother. ”

Zhou Qingchen fell into deep thought when he heard this, and replied after half a sound: "Hu Hai is the prince of Great Qin after all, it is difficult to achieve the goal of teaching him a lesson by ordinary means, and it may not be able to teach him a lesson.

Fusu asked, "I don't know what Master Zhou has to punish his heart?"

Zhou Qingchen said: "Since Hu Hai is so stubborn and openly murderous and hurting people in the downtown area, we might as well make this matter public, so that the world can know what kind of person Hu Hai is, and also let the world have more eyes to avoid being harmed by him." ”

Fusu hesitated: "There is something wrong with this matter, didn't Master Zhou once say that reputation is more important than Mount Tai?"

Zhou Qingchen shook his head and said: "Son's words are wrong, I am saving Hu Hai's life." ”

"First, I hope that this incident will make him wake up, and after that, he can reflect on himself and be dedicated to goodness. ”

"Second, his reputation is bad, and naturally no one will support him among the civil and military officials, thus cutting off his undeserved thoughts, and Gongzi will not be forced to kill him at that time. In that case, isn't it a saving for his life?"

Fusu nodded again and again: "It's all up to Master Zhou, and I order my subordinates to fully cooperate." ”

In Chang'an Market, a tea shed, after a storyteller finished telling a wonderful story of Daqin and Zhao, it caused a burst of applause, and suddenly a person stepped forward and brought him a cup of tea, and by the way, he gave him a note, and the storyteller opened it and nodded at this person.

The hander smiled and disappeared into the crowd.

The storyteller moistened his throat and said: "I just told you about the Great Qin War, how wise and martial my Great Qin Emperor His Majesty behaved, and then I want to talk about the legendary story of His Majesty's two sons." ”

One of the listeners quipped: "You say that Your Majesty is a legend, we believe it, those two sons are not yet twenty years old, what are the legends?"

The storyteller shook his head: "You don't understand this, what I'm talking about today is the legendary story of Hu Hai, the youngest son of His Majesty Emperor Qin, this is a secret story of the deep palace, and most people don't know it." ”

Everyone suddenly became interested, if it was really a secret of the palace, knowing a little, it would also increase the face of the court.

The storyteller smiled mysteriously, coughed up, cleared his throat and said: "Anyway, this Hu Hai is not ordinary, he has been like a pink carved jade since he was a child, very cute, but he doesn't like Emperor Qin very much, do you know why?"

Everyone shook their heads, you said it was a palace secret, we want to know, and listen to you?

The storyteller continued: "That's because Hu Hai is sick, there is a strange disease, that kind of attack, it is really a ghost to see ghosts, people are afraid to see it, it will make Emperor Qin disgusted." ”

One of them asked: "No, is there a strange disease that the royal doctor can't cure?"

The storyteller immediately applauded: "Good question, after the research of countless doctors, I have finally found a way to suppress this strange disease, but the method is very cruel, and the royal family is not known in order to cover up the scandal." ”

"What the hell is that method?" someone asked.

The storyteller said with a frightened expression: "Eat people's hearts raw." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, is there really such a way?

The storyteller said with a straight face: "Don't believe it, in the past few days, Hu Hai has sent his subordinates everywhere to find trouble with the shopkeeper, and when he sees a suitable one, he will find an excuse to kill him, and secretly take off his heart for him to eat. ”

At this time, a listener exclaimed: "No wonder the shopkeeper of the restaurant next door to me, usually amiable, heard that he offended Hu Hai Gongzi and was killed, and his heart was gone, so that's it." ”

Another person continued: "Coincidentally, I have a relative who runs a cloth shop, and the day before yesterday he was also killed by a group of people who claimed to be Hu Hai's subordinates, and his heart seems to have disappeared mysteriously. ”

Everyone was shocked, and when they saw what someone said, although they still had some doubts in their hearts, they gradually believed it.

Later, restaurants and grain stores were full of rumors about Hu Hai, bullying men and women, eating people's hearts raw, and describing Hu Hai as a little devil with fangs.
