Chapter 473 Ying's Scum
Ying Gao and Fusu met. The scene they both had imagined more than once. Now, at the gate of Panyu County, Nanhai County, they finally met. Fusu was a person on the scene. Although Ying Gao was his younger brother, they often contacted each other in the form of letters from home, but at the gate of their own city, they were ministers, and the younger brother standing in front of them was the emperor.
With his officials under his command, Fusu welcomed Ying Gao's arrival with the greatest etiquette, but there was something that puzzled him. Liu Wei actually came out of Ying Gao's team, then tiptoed to his side, and followed his subordinates to salute Ying Gao.
Seeing this situation, Fusu stared at the people behind Ying Gao for a long time, but he couldn't find Hu Hai, which really made him feel a little confused. However, Ying Gao had just arrived and had to do many scenes. Naturally, he could not pull Ying Gao into his mansion and ask why Liu Wei arrived with him and where Hu Hai ran.
According to the itinerary that Ying Gao had set before, after arriving in Panyu, the first thing he did was to inspect the navy in Nanhai County under Fusu and Sima Xin, who had arrived in Panyu earlier, to see what they were training at this time.
The situation in Nanhai County is different from that in Jiujiang. Although the warships are built there quickly and start early, they were built in the river. After they are finished, they have to be transferred from the river to the sea. I don’t know how much time it will be wasted.
But Nanhai County is different. There is a vast ocean to the south of Nanhai County, especially Panyu County, which is already very close to the sea.
Therefore, whether it is the construction of warships or the training of naval forces, they are carried out directly in the shallow sea. Fusu and Sima Xin are very comfortable in command and dispatch. After this period of chasing, the number of warships has reached Ying Gao's requirements. What they are still working hard is to select soldiers suitable as naval forces from the current garrison in Nanhai County, and then train them all to become qualified naval forces.
According to Ying Gao's requirements, although he had been traveling for a long distance, he was so young that he didn't have to go to Panyu County to rest. What he was most concerned about was the training of the navy, and he had to see it with his own eyes before he could feel at ease.
Fortunately, it is not far from Panyu County, just the camp of the Nanhai County Navy. When Ying Gao arrived, teams of naval troops were in training.
Looking further away, several warships were sailing slowly on the sea not far from the shore. According to Sima Xin's introduction, this was training on the ship. Although the number of warships is still a little different, according to Ying Gao's previous requirements, each navy must board the ship and go out to sea every day. Once you find that you cannot adapt to long-term navigation on the sea, you must immediately clear out the navy's team.
The rules set by Sima Xin and Fusu teammate Ying Gao were still very tough to implement, because they also knew that these naval troops would eventually wander on the sea for at least one or two months, and even if they docked, they were not finished. It was just that the war had just begun, which required them to temper their soldiers to the extreme, which was related to the final result of this war that was getting closer and closer.
After almost an hour, Ying Gao finally completed all the tasks he had come to this side. Although Ying Gao came to solve Hu Hai's case this time, the navy was indeed a place he wanted to see for a long time. Now that he finally saw how the Qin navy was trained, Ying Gao was relieved.
After such a long time and such almost rigorous preparations, if his Qin still could not take down the Mauryan Dynasty, Ying Gao would know how much he would be. In that case, he would have to take back his dream of fighting for hegemony and become the emperor in the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
Ying Gao had long seen that Hu Hai was not among the officials behind Fusu. In other words, Hu Hai did not appear when he should have appeared, which was very unexpected to Ying Gao.
According to his previous speculations with Liu Wei, because there was no evidence of Hu Hai assassination in their hands, only Liu Wei, the person who really brought people to assassinate, Hu Hai should not be afraid that Ying Gao would target him directly, so normally he would definitely appear here.
When we arrived at Panyu County, the humid and hot climate here made Ying Gao, who had come from Xianyang, very uncomfortable. Looking at Fusu with dark skin, Ying Gao's heart was warm for no reason.
When Fusu came here, he had to adapt not only to the hot climate here, but he persisted and transformed Nanhai County into what he needed for the sake of the Qin Dynasty. If it were replaced by others, Ying Gao would never believe that Fusu could reach the level he is now.
"The Lord and the Grand Marshal came along the way, obviously it was a tiring journey. Why not eat first?"
After delaying for another half a day, Fusu had already realized that whether it was Ying Gao, Meng Yi, or even the Zhu family, who had been following Ying Gao, had a little hungry chest and put on their backs. So after everyone arrived in Panyu County, Fusu immediately proposed the suggestion of having a meal first.
"If my brother doesn't say it, I'm indeed a little hungry, but I and my brother have not seen each other for many years. I should be happy to reminisce about the past. The Taiwei and others will arrange according to their previous plans. I still want to go to the study in my brother's mansion and have a good chat with my brother!"
Chat?
As soon as these two words were expressed, Fusu was stunned at first, and then reacted a little, and knew that Ying Gao would not have to chat with him. Hu Hai did not appear in Nanhai County, and Liu Wei ran out of Ying Gao's team alone. There must be a problem here.
And it involves Hu Hai, that is the problem within the Ying clan. Such a thing is naturally not suitable for discussion in front of Meng Yi waiting without knowing the truth. Therefore, the two brothers must first touch each other privately before solving this problem.
"Okay! Since the Lord thought so, Fusu naturally would be more respectful than obedient."
In this way, Ying Gao took the Zhu family and ten imperial guards to follow Fusu to his mansion, while Meng Yi followed Liu Wei and others thoughtfully to have a meal at the county temple in Panyu County. Ying Gao hurriedly inspected the navy troops near Panyu, and then hurriedly pulled Fusu aside. These seemed reasonable but not very ordinary things, which made Meng Yi feel more and more that it seemed that it was not that simple to come to Nanhai County this time.
Not long after, Ying Gao and Fusu arrived at Fusu's mansion. As Ying Gao said, Fusu invited Ying Gao to the study in his mansion, while the guards of the Zhu family and other were left outside the study by Ying Gao.
Of course, after experiencing the assassination on the road, the Zhu family did not believe in anyone except himself. Although according to Liu Wei, the person who assassinated was Hu Hai, after all, this happened on the way to Nanhai County where Fusu is located, right?
"Your Majesty, I don't know if it's related to Hu Hai's incident?"
Fusu is a person who is a wise man who doesn't say secret words. Liu Wei and Ying Gao came with him, and Hu Hai was missing. In addition, he thought of Hu Hai's behavior when he pretended to be drunk in Hu Hai's mansion, Fusu had reason to believe that Ying Gao might not know nothing about Hu Hai, and that this time he came, there must be Hu Hai's reason.
"Yes, since my brother has guessed it, I don't hide it from my brother. When I just sent Hu Hai to the Xiang County, I didn't think Hu Hai was very dissatisfied with me, but in order to lead to the person who made rumors in Xianyang City, Liu Wei stared at Hu Hai tightly. He didn't expect that the person who spread rumors did not find it. Instead, he discovered that Hu Hai's intention to rebel against Qin has been a long time..."
"Hiss..." After hearing Ying Gao's words, Fusu took a breath. Although he had already realized that Hu Hai seemed to have some dissatisfaction with Ying Gao, when he got into Ying Gao's mouth, he became a long-standing anti-Qin spirit, and this sin was a bit too great.
After hearing this, Fusu thought about it again and thought that Ying Gao knew Hu Hai’s background, so why didn’t Hu Hai come directly? Could it be that this guy learned the news in advance and ran away?
"Then I wonder what the Lord wants to deal with Hu Hai?"
Ying Gao and Hu Hai, from the perspective of the Ying clan, were both Fusu's younger brothers and the sons of the First Emperor. If we follow Ying Gao's statement, Hu Hai's life may not be able to be preserved. This is not the scene that Fusu wants to see.
But if Hu Hai was really as Ying Gao said, and if he was too deeply trapped, he knew that he had no choice. But when he thought about it, since Ying Gao had found himself to talk about this matter alone, it means that Ying Gao still treated this matter as an internal matter of the Ying clan, so what he should fight for, he still had to fight for it.
"Brother may not know yet why I arrived in Nanhai County with Liu Wei, the governor of Guilin County. I did meet Liu Wei on the way, but the way I met him was very strange!"
Next, Ying Gao informed Fusu about his assassination. After hearing this, Fusu felt a chill out of his head. If this matter was a bit unlucky, it would become that Ying Gao was assassinated on his way to Nanhai County under his jurisdiction. If there was another slight difference, Fusu would become the biggest sinner. Fusu became the biggest sinner. Who would get the most beneficial benefit? Naturally, Hu Hai, the most powerful among the remaining people in the Ying clan.
"In my opinion, this matter should be what Hu Hai did. Liu Wei is an official trained by me personally in Luoyang. His biggest disadvantage is his timidity. After discovering some of Hu Hai's misconduct, he wrote a letter to tell me about Hu Hai almost every once in a while. I have a preliminary understanding of Hu Hai's mood. When I came here this time, I wanted to see if Hu Hai still had some possibility of returning to my ranks of the princes of the Qin Dynasty. Now it seems that the result is probably not satisfactory!"
After Ying Gao finished saying this, Fusu sighed deeply. He knew that Hu Hai was walking a little too far on this road. He was no longer simply a matter of dissatisfaction with Ying Gao. Instead, he was like the man named Zhang Liang who was executed by Ying Gao before, instructing others to assassinate the emperor. As long as he committed such a thing, he would be a death sentence, no matter who it was.
"Ah! Hu Hai is like this, he is really a scum among my Ying clan! After Hu Hai arrived in Xiangjun County, I should have taken strict supervision of his behavior. Liu Wei had previously revealed Hu Hai's behavior to me, but I always thought that Hu Hai would not be like this. At this point in this matter, I also have some responsibility. Please punish me!"
In fact, Fusu really regrets it a little. He regrets that he has not fulfilled any responsibility to Hu Hai. If he found out that Hu Hai had this sign on the day he pretended to be drunk, he would severely scold him. If he had done that at that time, he might have offended Hu Hai, but he would definitely not have been like this today.
"Brother doesn't have to do this, and I will not punish my brother for this matter. If Hu Hai can have today, it must be that he will hold a grudge against me from the day when I became the crown prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with whether the brother scolded me. Once such a thought is formed, it is the father's rebirth, and I am afraid there is no way."
"Today, Hu Hai should have appeared in my Nanhai County to welcome the Lord with me, but he did not. I think he had learned about the failure of this assassination, and most of them fled for fear of crime. Xiang County is located in a remote place, and there are many people from the Nanyue tribes around who wanted to capture him back, which is very difficult."
This kind of occasion did not appear, and everyone knows that there should be no second possibility except running away. It would be very easy to catch Hu Hai in other counties in the Central Plains, but in such a place, it would be quite difficult to catch him.
"Before I came, I didn't expect this matter to be so difficult. When my brother sent someone who was able to travel to Xiang County, if Hu Hai really ran away, I naturally could not take Hu Hai in Xiang County with people every day. I will return to Xianyang in a few days. After all, there is only half a year left before the day of sending troops I had decided to do, and I need to coordinate many matters."
"Your Majesty means... I will do it for the arrest of Hu Hai. But what if this matter changes, what should I do?" When Fusu heard this, he showed a sad face.
