The news that the Chu army was defeated in all three places spread to the city of Xianyang one after another. Fusu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the battle report sent up: "Okay, we tried our best to lure the Chu army to attack, and at the same time diverted the troops to the north at all costs.

The troops and horses were quickly transferred back to the Central Plains. All the efforts were finally in vain, and the Chu army finally suffered a huge defeat."

"But among the three Chu armies, except for the one at Yingchuan, most of the other two Chu armies have fled back to the Chu land. Now their military strength has not been weakened much. They should still have nearly 80,000 troops." Zhang Liang

But he frowned.

Fusu smiled calmly and said: "This is beyond the control of you and me. Moreover, our plan when we led the Chu army to attack this time was to let in the Chu army that attacked Yingchuan, and then surround and annihilate them.

, as for the other two groups of troops, we only need that they cannot break through Hanoi and Handan, and cannot go to support the Chu army in Yingchuan, so even if they return to Chu intact, we have not failed. What's more, after those several battles

After that, the two Chu armies must have been seriously injured, and they may not be able to recover for a while. As our army has won a new victory, its morale is naturally far better than that of the Chu army, so it is time for us to send troops to counterattack."

At this time, Chen Ping said carefully: "Your Majesty, I think it is time to inform the world that the three Chu armies have been defeated. Firstly, it can boost the morale of our army, and secondly, it can also let the people of Chu know about our great Qin army.

"It's so powerful, San Lai," he paused slightly at this point, "San Lai can also calm the hearts of the people in Xianyang City, so that they will not make random guesses and spread some unrealistic news. I hope the Emperor will give you permission.

"

Fusu asked with some confusion: "The first two are enough, but what do you mean by the people's support in An Xianyang?"

Chen Ping hesitated for a moment and then said: "Not long after the Chu army attacked Daqin in three directions, the people in Xianyang City knew about it. The people in the whole city were very panicked. Some people even spread the news that the Chu army was about to attack.

We will attack the Hangu Pass, and the empire of Da Qin may be over. There are still people spreading a word, calling... calling..." I couldn't say it for a moment.

Fusu heard that the people in the city actually spread these words, and this was still in the capital city of Xianyang, so wouldn't other counties be even more powerful? Thinking of this, his face suddenly changed, and he became a little worried from the excitement before, and he opened his mouth and said: "

What are they preaching? Tell me quickly, I want to hear what they can preach." Feeling anxious, Fusu stopped calling himself "I".

Chen Ping opened his mouth, and finally said: "They spread a saying, saying: 'Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die!'" After saying this, he looked at Fusu, feeling very uneasy.

As Fusu's time as emperor increased, he became more and more dignified in his movements. Although he was still very polite to his ministers, Chen Ping was still a little afraid of him. So now after saying these words

, he was a little afraid that Fusu would become furious on the spot.

"Although Chu has three households, the Qin must be destroyed by Chu!" Fusu repeated this sentence, with no trace of joy or anger on his face. After a while, he said, "This sentence had appeared during the time of the First Emperor, but look at the current state of Chu.

Doesn’t it just occupy such a small amount of space? Moreover, my army is about to move towards them, and in a blink of an eye, the Chu land can be returned to our Daqin. So it doesn’t matter what the people are spreading, the important thing is not to let them really

They have lost confidence in me, Great Qin."

"Yes, yes!" Chen Ping responded repeatedly. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still asked: "What about the minister's proposal...?"

Fusu thought for a while and then said: "That's right, I will issue an edict to the world and spread the news of this great victory to the world." After hearing this, Chen Ping was completely relieved and hurriedly responded before retreating.

Go back. But Fusu remembered something and suddenly asked: "Chen Qing, you just said that the people in the city were rumored that our country, Da Qin, would be destroyed by Chu. When did you get the news?"

"It was half a month ago. At that time, we were still busy transferring soldiers from the north to the Central Plains. The three counties were in critical condition, so the people in the city spread such words." Chen Ping replied.

Fusu's face suddenly sank: "Since you already knew about this half a month ago, why did I not know about it until today?"

"This...I was just afraid that the emperor would be too worried, so I concealed this matter without permission. I also ask for your forgiveness." Chen Ping saw Fusu's face suddenly turned ugly, and he couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart, and immediately said

Kneel down.

Fusu was very angry in his heart. He was in Xianyang City, but he had no idea what the people in the city were thinking or saying. It was only today that he found out what happened through Chen Ping's accidental words. It seemed that he

You have to pay attention to the attitude of your ministers towards you. Although Chen Ping did not say it was out of good intentions this time, there is no guarantee that someone will hide something about himself like him in the future, and in the end he will be completely isolated from the outside world and become a true

Being alone and alone is no different from some foolish kings in history. "No, I can't let these things happen to me. It seems I should take some measures." Thinking of this, Fusu said calmly to Chen Ping

Authentic: "Get up, I don't blame you, but I want you to understand that this world is my world now, and I should know what the people in the world think, so I can say anything clearly in the future, no matter what I say

Whether I am happy or angry, I will not add guilt. But if I know that you have concealed it, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Yes, I obey the emperor's decree." Chen Ping hurriedly agreed. When the other officials saw Fusu's eyes sweeping over him, they all bowed and said in unison: "I obey the emperor's decree."

Fusu then changed the topic: "Then you go and spread the news of our army's victory. In this way, those who are afraid of the Chu people will naturally fade away. But this news must not only be spread in Xianyang City

, notices must also be posted in other counties, especially the counties surrounding the three counties, so that the people can feel at ease so that they can devote themselves to production. And there must be remnants of the Chu army near Yingchuan. You

We must also look for them carefully for me, and we must not let them go back to Chu, let alone talk nonsense there and make the people uneasy."

"I obey the order!" All the ministers bowed in response. Then Fusu discussed with the ministers the issues of rebuilding several cities that had experienced wars. Of course, there was also the issue of the resettlement of the people in the city, especially the issue of resettlement of the people in the city.

The Hanoi County that had suffered from the plague was the focus of it. Zhang Liang suggested: "Your Majesty, based on our usual practice, if there is a plague in a place, then we should evacuate all the people in the city who have not been infected.

It will be left vacant, and after a few years the disease will disappear. At that time, the people will be moved back and everything will be restored."

Fusu originally wanted to suggest using vinegar or something to disinfect, but then he thought about how he didn't have much knowledge in medicine. It would be fine if he succeeded, but if he made a mistake, tens of thousands of lives would be lost, so he decided

Agreeing to Zhang Liang's suggestion, he built another city dozens of miles away from Hanoi City to accommodate the people. Discussions on some details were very troublesome, and it was not until noon that everything was settled. Only then did all the ministers leave the palace and go back to their respective homes.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping had just walked out of the main hall where the meeting was held, and when they were about to leave the palace, a chamberlain came up quickly and said: "Two adults, please stay. The emperor will lead you to the side hall to have dinner with him. He said

There are still things to discuss.”

After Chen and Ping glanced at each other, they both bowed and saluted: "I obey your order!" Then they followed the eunuch to a small side hall located in the east of the palace. As soon as they entered, they looked at each other.

Fusu was wearing regular clothes, and he, Xiaotao, and his son were having dinner in front of the case. The furnishings here were all newly made according to Fusu's wishes. It felt like home, and everything inside was made by Fusu's people.

Chairs and tables are not the seats and tables of this era. Although Fusu has been in this era for some time, he still cannot get used to having to kneel down every time he sits, especially when eating. So.

So he built the furniture in the side hall to use for eating.

Seeing the two people walking in, Fusu just motioned for them to sit down, while You himself and Xiao Tao were still feeding their son. Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were not used to this new style of seating, but since the emperor had already signaled

The two of them could only sit down. After feeding their son and Xiaotao took him out, Fusu smiled at the two of them and said, "It's all because I doted on him too much. Now I don't feed him.

This boy refused to eat and kept you two waiting for a long time." Then he ordered people to bring the food and wine.

Zhang Liang saw that the food and wine were very ordinary, and he knew that although Fusu had become emperor, he did not live a luxurious life at all, and he was very impressed. After toasting several glasses of wine, Fusu said: "Mr. Chen, this place

We are not in the court, so we don’t need to be proportionate as kings and ministers. Just now at the court meeting, my tone was a bit harsh, I hope you won’t take it to heart.”

Chen Pingyuan was a little unhappy when he thought about it, but he didn't expect Fusu to apologize to him. For a moment, he was just grateful. He quickly stood up and was about to kneel down. Fusu hurriedly supported him and said, "Actually, I am

I want all the ministers to understand one thing, that is, I will not blame you if you say anything, but if you hide it, no matter what your thoughts are, it will be disrespectful to me, so I will take it.

You, one of the people I trust the most, will tell you this."

A few tears flashed in Chen Ping's eyes, and he said loudly: "I know, I will report to the emperor truthfully no matter what happens in the future."

Zhang Liang looked at Fusu's performance and was filled with emotion. Now Fusu has become more and more imperial, and his way of dealing with things has become more and more mature.

Fusu nodded and then said: "Sit down." After he sat back, Fusu looked at the two of them and said: "I asked you to come today because there is something I want to tell you first, and that is to take advantage of the opportunity this time.
