Chapter 262 The legacy of exile(1/2)
People's words are terrible. Almost everyone is spreading rumors that Li Xin has been defeated and he has been banished to immortality. It is not known whether he is alive or dead. It is really audacious for these two guys to hide this from the imperial court.
Rumors were passed around, and the details became more and more detailed.
Some people said that they saw the banished immortal captured by the Huns, hung up and beaten. Some people said that they saw Li Xin defeated with their own eyes, and his horses were shot to death by the Huns, and finally escaped back in an ox cart.
.
In the end, many people believed that the banished immortal would not come back, and Li Xin did not dare to come back. Then some people speculated that Li Xin, with his remaining defeated soldiers, was going to separatist kingship in the north.
Of course, these rumors are inevitably fueled by Wang Heng secretly. Although this guy is young, he is full of conspiracies. He knows in his heart that rumors are just rumors without evidence and will not kill anyone. But as long as His Majesty has doubts, then rumors
The purpose is achieved.
Hu Hai in the palace also seized the opportunity to jump out. On the one hand, he re-established contact with the Wang family. On the other hand, he began to visit Ying Zheng many times, pretending to give advice.
However, Ying Zheng turned a blind eye to the violent storm outside and stayed calmly in his study all day long, reviewing memorials. This made Hu Hai even more confused about his father.
On this day, he gave another long speech, calling Li Shui a traitor to the country, and hoped that Ying Zheng could ban Shangjun Courtyard.
Ying Zheng didn't comment on any of this, but he didn't reprimand Hu Hai either.
Hu Hai thought to himself: Since my father did not reprimand me, maybe he acquiesced in my words.
So he was full of energy and continued to talk at length. After an hour, Hu Hai's mouth was dry and his throat was filled with smoke, so he had to leave.
Ying Zheng looked at his back, looking thoughtful. The young eunuch serving next to him looked at Ying Zheng curiously. Even though he had served Ying Zheng for decades, he couldn't guess what Ying Zheng was thinking at this moment.
…
After Hu Hai left Ying Zheng's study, he immediately started writing a draft, thinking about what to say when he went to the audience tomorrow. He was a little tired of talking and scolding immortals all day long, so he had to think of something new.
Hu Hai was lost in thought when suddenly someone hit him hard on the shoulder. Hu Hai was caught off guard and fell to the ground, feeling dizzy.
He raised his head angrily and saw Fu Yao standing in front, looking at him with evil intentions: "Brother, where are you coming from?"
Hu Hai got up from the ground, made a cold sound, and wanted to avoid Fu Yao and leave.
But Fu Yao stretched out his hand to stop him: "Brother, have you seen your father just now? What did you say?"
Hu Hai said coldly: "How can I tell you about the major events in the world?"
Fu Yao chuckled: "What is the world's major event? Isn't it just slander and frame-up of my master? Master, tell you, I know everything you say every day."
Hu Hai was stunned and blurted out: "You are so brave. How dare you betray the eunuchs around my father?"
Fu Yao said quietly: "Don't accuse me wrongly."
Hu Hai didn't say anything. He was sure that the little eunuch beside the emperor had been betrayed by Fu Yao. There was no way, after all, Fu Yao was a very wealthy guy. He used gold as clods all day long.
But Hu Hai had nothing to do about Fu Yao's behavior, because all the rich people were doing this kind of thing, and everyone was dirty. In order to attack Fu Yao, it was not cost-effective to drag himself into the water.
What's more, Fu Yao was deeply favored by the emperor. It would be too tragic for him to go ashore and drown himself.
Therefore, Hu Hai stopped arguing with Fu Yao and stood up to leave.
But Fu Yao pushed him and pushed him to the ground: "You framed my master, and that's how you plan to leave?"
Hu Hai was furious: "What do you want?"
Fu Yao said: "Of course I will teach you a lesson."
Then, he was punched.
Hu Hai quickly stretched out his hand to block, but Fu Yao's fist was so hard that Hu Hai felt a sharp pain in his arm and couldn't help but cry out.
Hu Hai took a few steps back in embarrassment and found that his arm was already a little red and swollen. Only then did he realize that Fu Yao was holding an ingot of gold in his hand.
Hu Hai grinned, a little speechless: This guy is really rich, everyone wants to use gold as weapons.
Fu Yao succeeded with one blow, but did not give Hu Hai much chance to breathe. He waved his fist and hit Hu Hai like a storm...
Hu Hai wanted to resist, but was knocked down time and time again. Hu Hai wanted to escape, but was caught again and again. In the end, he became a little desperate and simply lay on the ground to protect his vitals.
Soon, Fu Yao was tired of beating him, and Hu Hai walked away. He was lying on the ground, almost crying: I am obviously one year older than him, why can't I beat him?
Later, Hu Hai figured out that this guy Fu Yao had great physical strength because he ate steamed buns and steamed buns for free all day long.
A young eunuch discovered Hu Hai, was startled, and wanted to help him up. Hu Hai quickly pretended to be angry and said: "Don't help me, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long."
The young eunuch was scared to death, but looking at Hu Hai's bruised nose and swollen face, he was indeed seriously injured.
I heard people say that a seriously injured person cannot be moved at will. If he is not moved, he may be able to hold on for a while. If he is moved, he may die on the spot.
The young eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his head and ran to report to the emperor.
Soon, Ying Zheng came over quickly.
When Hu Hai heard Ying Zheng's footsteps, he felt happy and quickly pretended to be unconscious.
Ying Zheng checked Hu Hai's breathing and saw that he was still breathing. He breathed a sigh of relief and then asked the doctor Hua Que to check him.
Hua Que said: "Most of the young master's injuries were skin injuries, which are not harmful to the body. It's just that he was still young and was suddenly injured and in pain, so he fainted."
Ying Zheng nodded and asked the young eunuch next to him: "Who injured Hu Hai?"
The little eunuchs looked nervous and seemed hesitant to speak.
Ying Zheng asked again: "Is it Fu Yao?"
A young eunuch boldly said: "Just now, Mr. Fu Yao did pass by here."
In fact, without checking, Ying Zheng guessed that Fu Yao did it. Others did not have the courage or the motive.
He said to the young eunuch: "Let Fu Yao come to the study to see me. As for Hu Hai, let him come with him after he wakes up."
Hu Hai was actually awake all the time, but he had to pretend to be asleep. Hearing that Ying Zheng summoned Fu Yao, he felt a little anxious, because he knew that Fu Yao had studied with Li Shui for a long time, and now he was also very good at confusing right and wrong and messing around.
Hu Hai was a little worried. If he didn't arrive in time, he might end up beating Fu Yao.
So as soon as Ying Zheng left, Hu Hai pretended to wake up, and then hurried to Ying Zheng's study.
On the way, Hu Hai found Ji Ming and asked him to send a message to Wang Heng immediately and let him enter the palace immediately.
Looking at Hu Hai with a bruised nose and swollen face, Ji Ming realized that the God-given opportunity had finally arrived, so he ran outside the palace without stopping to deliver the news.
Half an hour later, Ying Zheng summoned Hu Hai and Fu Yao in the study.
After such a long time, everyone who should come has arrived. Hu Hai was followed by Hu Ji and Wang Heng. Fu Yao was followed by Poppy and Wei Young.
After the group entered, Ying Zheng gave them seats.
Then, Ying Zheng looked at Fu Yao and asked, "Why did you beat Hu Hai?"
Fu Yao said: "Today I was holding a bun and eating it while walking. I was eating happily when I suddenly met Hu Hai. He reached out and grabbed my bun..."
When Hu Hai heard this, he was furious: "How can this be unreasonable? How can such a thing happen? Would I care about a steamed bun?"
Hu Hai was a little angry. He had expected that Fu Yao would confuse right and wrong, but he didn't expect that he would confuse right and wrong to such an extent. Are you still shameless?
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Listen to what he has to say."
Hu Hai continued: "I threw the bun on the ground, and Hu Hai rushed over to grab it. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. If he hadn't come to snatch it arbitrarily, I would have eaten all the buns long ago."
"So I kicked him in the butt. Hu Hai had a grudge and wanted to bully me because he was older than me. Fortunately, I practiced boxing with my master all day long, so I have a lot of heart."
Fu Yao stood up, made a few boxing movements, and then said to Ying Zheng: "Master said, one strength can be reduced ten times. I start to exercise my physical strength after eating every day. It has been quite effective.
"
"Recently, my master has hung up a sandbag and asked me to practice every day. As a result, my straight punches, uppercuts, and swing punches have become more and more powerful, and my strikes have become more and more accurate."
"So, I knocked down Hu Hai with three strikes, five divided by two. Master often said that the Qin Dynasty was founded on farming and war. If you like war, you will perish, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. Therefore, your sons must have a strong body, otherwise, what will happen?
Are you sharing your worries for your father?"
People around him were stunned for a moment, and many people thought: "Are you telling what happened, or are you bragging about yourself?"
Hu Hai couldn't bear it any longer and jumped up and said, "Fu Yao is lying. It's obvious that he came to beat me when I was walking on the road without incident. He hates me for telling my father about banishing immortals."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
Next, Hu Ji Chuchu cried pitifully, hoping that Ying Zheng could make the decision for their mother and son. Yu Meiren hoped that Ying Zheng would give him a small punishment because of Nurse Fu Yao's eagerness and excusable circumstances.
Let it go once and for all, don't be too harsh.
As for what Fu Yao said about grabbing buns, they simply ignored it.
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Heng and said calmly: "What do you think?"
Wang Heng said: "This matter all started because of the banishment of the immortal. Nowadays, speculations about the banishment of the immortal are rampant in Xianyang City. As time goes by, there will be more and more rumors and less and less truth. I am afraid it will be detrimental to the court."
"Therefore, I boldly suggest that the matter of banishing the immortal be thoroughly investigated. If the banished immortal is innocent, he can be cleared. If the banished immortal is really guilty of evil, he can also eliminate a harm to our great Qin."
As soon as she said this, Meiren Yu shook her head and whispered: "The banished immortal has an upright temperament and has offended many people. Now that he is not in Xianyang City, how can we investigate thoroughly? There must be some villain who takes the opportunity to frame him."
Wei Yang, who was next to him, also said: "Exactly. Father, it's best to send someone to bring the banished immortal back from the North."
Wang Heng smiled slightly and said: "I'm just afraid. After I brought him back, I found that the banished immortal was already dead."
Fu Yao was furious and shouted: "My master will not be defeated, nor will he be captured. He took the general's head in the array of ten thousand armies, just like picking out a treasure from a bag."
Wang Heng was slightly startled and thought: Such an exaggeration? Even I would not dare to boast about such a Haikou.
Wei Young next to her was a little helpless. In fact, it was one thing that she admired Li Shui, but she was not as blind as Fu Yao and could still distinguish the story from reality.
