Chapter 461 Hu Hai's scheming
When he arrived at the county and temples of Linchen County, Fusu was still the same as when he arrived in Guilin County, but he only explained that he had received the emperor's order to come to recruit soldiers, but he did not say anything else.
Hu Hai naturally agreed with Fusu's request. Like Liu Wei, he sent someone to publicize this matter and said that he would definitely make considerable contributions to Fusu in the immigration of Xiangjun.
Of course, when Hu Hai, who was silent in Xianyang Palace before, began to talk in front of Fusu, Fusu also discovered some inappropriate things, because whenever Hu Hai talked about recruiting troops, he never mentioned Ying Gao, but kept Fusu on his lips in everything, as if all of his things were done for Fusu.
The people around him didn't think it was like this, but Fusu really didn't feel that good. If he was not like that, or if he was a little dissatisfied with Ying Gao becoming the emperor, Hu Hai's attitude towards him would definitely benefit him very much, and then he developed some more dangerous mentality. But at this time, Fusu knew that such thoughts were absolutely unacceptable.
"Brother, since I have arrived in Linchen County today, don't rush back. I have already given instructions and prepare a banquet in my mansion. I have been working hard for my Daqin in Nanhai County. Today, I am the first to take charge of Xiang County. I have to ask my brother for advice on many matters!"
Hu Hai brought this reason, and Fusu naturally had no choice but to refuse. Moreover, Fusu didn't plan to leave today. Hu Hai's performance made him have some questions about his youngest brother.
He believed that through this contact, he would be able to poke something out of Hu Hai's mouth. Because he found that Hu Hai had a little deviation in his cognition, he could naturally use this little deviation to do something.
After the night, Fusu and Hu Hai were already sitting in the study room of Hu Hai's mansion. They sat opposite each other, and a beautiful lady next to them was pouring wine for them. Needless to say, this person was Hu Hai's wife Qi Yi.
"Brother, is this Hu Hai's wife? Or is it the king who gave the marriage when he was in Xianyang City!"
When introducing Qi Yi, Hu Hai was not under much pressure and told Fusu directly about his and Qi Yi's details. After learning that Hu Hai's wife was Ying Gao's marriage, Fusu also looked at Qi Yi a few more times.
But after a casual glance at Qi Yi, Fusu found that after Hu Hai said what he had just said, Qi Yi's expression had changed a little bit, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes. Although it flashed, Fusu's current eyesight was different now, and he secretly remembered this detail in his heart.
"Now that the Lord has given you this opportunity, it is really time for you to devote yourself to the Qin Dynasty. Xiang County is vast and now it is in a mess. Don't discredit our Ying clan!"
After drinking a glass of wine, Fusu naturally took out his style as a brother and taught Hu Hai a few words. While saying this, Fusu looked at Hu Hai's expression. Obviously, his words like this were not just for inspiring Hu Hai.
Facing his elder brother's earnest teachings to him, Hu Hai nodded repeatedly, and was very earnest. Then he asked a lot of questions about how Fusu gradually gained foothold and developed in Nanhai County.
During this period, one thing that Hu Hai was very interested in was how Fusu controlled the military power step by step in his hands. Although he had already drunk several bottles of wine at this time, Fusu was obviously not confused yet. The question Hu Hai asked made him feel a lot of spirit, but on the surface he was already a serene teaching and said a lot of things.
The two of them drank glass after glass. When it was halfway, Qi Yi also toasted several bottles of wine next to him. Hu Hai looked at Fusu as he was already a little shaky, so he winked at Qi Yi. Qi Yi put down the wine pot and left the room. As for Hu Hai's purpose, Qi Yi naturally knew.
In fact, Hu Hai had already mentioned to Qi Yi that among the three counties in Lingnan, the most useful one is not others, but his elder brother Fusu. Now most of the troops in the south are firmly controlled by Fusu. According to Hu Hai's understanding, there are tens of thousands of people, which is only a large number of defenders around Xianyang City.
With such a large number of people, Hu Hai was almost in Xiangjun not far away, and he couldn't do anything. However, one thing was that Hu Hai was not the only one who competed with Ying Gao for the position of crown prince in the Qin Dynasty.
There was Fusu who stood in front of the First Emperor who was pretending to be sick. If Ying Gao had not done anything at that time, the position of emperor was not Hu Hai, and he would have been Fusu. No matter how hard it was, Ying Gao, who had been nothing for the past ten years.
But Ying Gao finally relied on his own operation to operate the position of the emperor into his hands. What was Hu Hai's heart feeling at the beginning? He still clearly remembers that in his opinion, Fusu should have the same mentality as him. Even afterwards, he was entrusted by the First Emperor and Ying Gao with important tasks. However, in this place where birds in the South China Sea do not shit, he has not even returned to Xianyang once. Hu Hai did not believe that Fusu was not angry.
The indirect words of Fusu made Hu Hai unable to figure out what Fusu thought about it for a while, so he decided to use this family dinner to get Fusu drunk, and then he would make a lot of Fusu's thoughts. If there were any unexpected surprises, Hu Hai believed that in the end, tens of thousands of defenders in Nanhai County would use it for him. If that time really came, he would naturally not have to worry about the letters of a person who knew his background and hiding in the dark.
As for what he had tested Fusu, if Fusu discovered it, Hu Hai thought he knew Fusu very well. Not to mention that he had only managed the construction of the entire county in Xiang County for a long time in the future. Even if Fusu guessed something, Hu Hai did not believe that he could turn around and wrote a letter of informing and sent it to Xianyang Palace.
Fusu was really too kind. Hu Hai knew that Fusu was extremely kind to those worthless people, and he attached great importance to them, all of them were born by the First Emperor. If a brother really could die in Ying Gao's hands because of Fusu's own complaint, Hu Hai believed that this was something Fusu would never allow.
So even if he discovered some of his thoughts, Hu Hai believed that Fusu could only pretend not to know. When he really wanted to show his fangs, Hu Hai believed that Fusu might not have the chance to pass the news back to Xianyang Palace and give it to Ying Gao.
So, looking at Fusu, who was already a little drunk, Hu Hai knew that his chance had come.
"My brother has been in Nanhai County for several years and has not been able to return to Xianyang City once to take a look. Why don't you ask the Lord to go back and see us brothers?"
Hu Hai asked this without moving, then looked straight at Fusu's reaction and pretended that he was already a little overwhelmed. In fact, under Qi Yi's actions just now, Hu Hai didn't really drink much at all.
"I was born in Xianyang City and raised in Xianyang City. How could I not miss you and other younger brothers and sisters? But the Qin Dynasty's country is an urgent task. This Nanhai County is a special location and cannot leave for a moment, so I can only keep you in my heart, but I cannot see you."
What Fusu said was obviously a standard answer, but Hu Hai still felt that he had heard something unusual from this, so his eyes turned slightly and then asked: "Why didn't your brother ask the emperor to ask others to serve as the county magistrate of Nanhai County, and if your brother goes to Xianyang City or a county near Xianyang City, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
"We are descendants of the Ying family. How could we have such thoughts because of our remote location? My father personally settled me here, so I naturally had to guard this place. Otherwise, how could I, Daqin, get the peace and prosperity of the present?"
"What my brother said is, but my brother has been in the position of the county magistrate for a while. Now even Hu Hai has become a county magistrate who is just like his elder brother. According to Hu Hai's opinion, the elder brother can hold a more important position long ago. I just don't know if the emperor wants to come so..."
In just a few words, Hu Hai had already led the finger to Ying Gao. He just wanted to see if his loyal and honest brother had any resentment towards the current emperor of the Qin Dynasty, his younger brother, and his older brother. As long as Fusu had a little resentment towards Ying Gao, Hu Hai would have succeeded a little bit.
"How can I know if you think about it? How can I know that we are the ministers of the king. What the king asked me to do, and what I should do. What the king has not said, so don't seek trouble for myself, do you understand what my brother means?"
When Fusu said this, although he tried his best to let Hu Hai see that he was awake, he was still in the hazy scene. As soon as he said this, a light suddenly appeared in Hu Hai's eyes, as if he had found some treasure from Fusu.
How smart is Hu Hai's head? From Fusu's words, Hu Hai seemed to have discovered that although it was hidden very deeply, it was very obvious that he was dissatisfied with Ying Gao. Isn't Hu Hai wanting to see this dissatisfaction?
"Brother, if my father chose the crown prince..."
Hu Hai had been brewing for a long time and decided to go deeper to see if he could release the beast in Fusu's heart on this day. Just like himself, he knew that sometimes the transformation was a matter of a moment.
He once thought he would not have any chance anymore, and he could only live in Xianyang City as an unpopular young man. However, the appearance of Qi Yi, the appearance of a series of things in Xianyang City, and the appearance of the mysterious letter made him gradually see the way he went, and at the same time he also released the beast that had been locked in the cage in his heart.
He believed that such a beast was also locked in his brother Fusu's heart, but Fusu himself might not be able to let it go. What Hu Hai wanted to do now was to help Fusu release the beast.
But Hu Hai was not halfway through this sentence. Fusu, who was originally sitting opposite him with a sleepy eyes, suddenly his arms softened and he lay on the table in front of him, and then there was a whirring snoring sound.
"Brother? Brother? You and I haven't finished talking yet?"
Seeing this, Hu Hai quickly used his hand to pull Fusu a few times, but at this time Fusu was sleeping was not much different from a dead pig. Hu Hai had no choice but to give up his plan tonight after trying it a few more times and asked his servant in his mansion to help Fusu to his mansion's guest room to go to bed.
"What are the gains from the young master's attempt?" When Hu Hai returned to his bedroom, Qi Yi did not go to bed. She was still very energetic waiting for the result brought back by Hu Hai.
"Although my brother was drunk without saying anything important, I realized from his words that he was actually very dissatisfied with the Lord. This is definitely something we can use. As long as we go around with my brother in the future, we will sooner or later have the same idea as us. At that time, the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Nanhai County and the navy troops that are being conquered at this time will all be used by us!"
Qi Yi was still very excited when she heard the news from Hu Hai, but she thought about it and asked, "If she really gets the support of Brother Fusu, what should we do about the mysterious person hiding in the dark?"
"Hmph, this person thinks he has a very important hatred with my Royal Family of Great Qin. The result he wants should be just the mutual killing between my Prince of Great Qin and the demise of the Great Qin Empire. This guy was just using me before. Once he reached a conclusion with Brother Fusu, this mysterious person must be destroyed first. If this matter is put on the surface, it may also allow the emperor to eliminate his suspicion of us. That is a killing two birds with one stone!"
Obviously, Hu Hai had already imagined the ending of each individual.
