Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

"My Lord, the replica is here, waiting in the side hall."

After seeing off General Meng Ao and his two companions, A'er reported.

"Well, let's make a copy."

Fusu quickly put away his little notebook and put it away carefully, keeping it in a neat place.

I have learned a lot, and today I have gained a lot.

"I've met the Marquis."

"Sit down, replica."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Fu looked at the braziers in the room and felt hot. He wiped the sweat from his forehead inconspicuously.

"I'm afraid of the cold, and this room is a little too warm for you."

Zhang Yuanqing smiled and asked Er to help wipe the replica handkerchief.

"My Lord, this is what you asked me to investigate. I have tried my best and this is all I have found."

Fu Ke took out the paper and handed it to Zhang Yuanqing. Fu Su stepped forward smartly to take it and then handed it to Zhang Yuanqing.

Not so much.

Not really.

You are the eldest son of the Qin State.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Fusu, who was still cheerful, and waved his hand for him to sit down.

Fusu didn't care about these things. He now called himself Zhang Yuanqing's eldest disciple. Of course, although he had not formally become a disciple, it did not stop him from calling himself a disciple.

"You did very well."

Zhang Yuanqing was satisfied with the replica, otherwise he would not have appointed him first. Now it seems that although this person lacks talent, he is a reliable person in his work and can be used.

"Thank you for the compliment, my Lord."

Being affirmed by his boss, Fu Ke happily stood up and thanked him.

"My Lord, I have already found Gongzi Fei and Zhang Liang, the people you asked me to investigate. They are both at the Jixia Academy."

"Jixia Academy? Yes, that's the only place they can stay. But now that Zhang Kaidi is seriously ill, I'm sure Zhang Liang should be on his way back. As for Han Fei," Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment, then said, "King Han has no great talent, and the government has always relied on Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi. Now that Zhang Kaidi is seriously ill, I'm afraid this young master Fei will also be recalled by the King of Han."

"You should pay close attention to Xinzheng's movements. If these two return to Xinzheng, tell me immediately."

"Yes, I will rush back to Xinzheng tomorrow and will not miss the important matter of the Marquis."

"Thank you for your hard work. I will give you twenty soldiers. Go find General Meng and tell him to evacuate Xinzheng immediately if there is any danger."

I was even happier after copying it, and I couldn't stop smiling.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

"Okay, go do your thing if you have nothing else to do. It's so hot in my room, you can't stand it."

While talking, Zhang Yuanqing had already noticed that Fu Ke had wiped his sweat several times.

"promise."

After replicating the room, he felt a chill in his face and couldn't help but shiver, then left happily.

"Let's go to General Meng."

The wheels rolled and quickly left their original position.

"Sir, why are you so polite to Fu Ke?" Fu Su thought about his words, and Zhang Yuanqing on the other side said, "You are so polite to him."

"Yes, I was just too polite to him."

I'm just a businessman, do I deserve such courtesy?

"There is no distinction between scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans. It all depends on how those in power use them. If used well, they can make the country strong; if used poorly, they can lead to its decline."

Fusu took out his little notebook and started taking notes. After he finished, he read it again but still didn't quite understand it.

"Think about it yourself, don't ask me first."

Fusu pursed his lips and swallowed the words on his lips.

"Come on, stop being like that. You are a prince, the king's eldest son. You should have your own manners and demeanor."

"How can you be so childish?"

I am a child.

And I don’t act like this in front of outsiders.

"Since you've been free lately, starting tomorrow, go find General Ning Teng and ask him to assign you a task, whether it's counting the population or the land."

"it is good!"

Finally, there was something important to do. Fusu looked at Zhang Yuanqing with happy eyes, which made Zhang Yuanqing feel a little guilty.

This is not considered as using child labor. This is to train your abilities.

"Let Li Xin accompany you, and bring two more people."

"Thank you, sir."

"Okay, go get ready."

Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand to send Fusu away and leaned lazily against the back of his chair.

When Zhang Yuanqing issued the order to recruit talents, the first people to get the news were naturally the Korean scholars.

Xinzheng Hanwang Palace

"That makes no sense."

"This boy is going too far."

"Come here, call the Prime Minister."

The eunuch knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to raise his head: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is ill in bed. I'm afraid, I'm afraid he can't come."

After hearing this, Han Wangan became even angrier and overturned the table in front of him with a wave of his hand.

"crash"

"boom"

The table fell to the ground, and the dishes on it broke into pieces.

"Let's go to the Prime Minister's residence."

"promise."

Having saved his life, the eunuch quickly got up and hurried away to prepare the king's carriage.

Zhang Mansion

At this time, Zhang Kaidi had already learned from his retainers that Zhang Yuanqing had come to Nanyang and had issued a call for talented people.

He was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath and passed out.

The servants hurriedly called a doctor, and after a lot of trouble, they finally woke Zhang Kaidi up.

"Prime Minister, please don't get angry, otherwise..."

The doctor opened his mouth but didn't dare to say the following words.

"I'm afraid of what? Tell me!"

Seeing the doctor hesitating, Zhang Sheng shouted angrily.

“Time is running out”

After saying these four words, several doctors knelt on the ground and trembled, fearing that Zhang Sheng would kill them all in a fit of rage.

"Sheng'er."

"Father!"

Seeing that his father could speak, Zhang Sheng didn't care about the doctors anymore. Taking this opportunity, the doctors hurriedly left the room.

The retainer Dongping also looked regretful. If he had not brought the news, the prime minister would not have acted like this.

"Sheng'er, my Zhang family has been loyal to King Han for generations. After I leave, you must inherit my legacy, and so must Liang'er."

Zhang Kaidi's face was pale and bloodless. He forced himself to say a few words and then closed his eyes to rest.

"Don't worry, father. I will be loyal to the king and will never bring disgrace to the Zhang family's reputation."

Hearing this, Zhang Kaidi felt relieved. Seeing that his father was tired, Zhang Sheng asked someone to take good care of his father and left the room with his servant Dongping.

When King Han's carriage arrived at the gate of Zhang's mansion, Zhang Sheng received the news and hurried to greet the king.

"Meet the king."

"Stand up. How is the Prime Minister?"

Han Wangan said this and led his men towards Zhang's mansion.

Zhang Sheng hurriedly led the way.

"Father fainted from anger just now, but fortunately he received medical treatment in time and is resting now."

When Han Wangan heard this, he walked even faster.

The Prime Minister must not be in any danger. If there is no Prime Minister, who will help me with the affairs of state in the future?

Zhang Sheng was touched to see that the king cared so much about his father.

Inside the room, Zhang Kaidi had already learned that the king was coming, so he quickly asked the servants to clean up the room, put on his clothes, and forced himself to prepare to go and greet the king.

"Father!"

Seeing his father being supported by two servants on both sides and looking like he was about to fall down at any time, Zhang Sheng ran forward worriedly.

King Han was also shocked to see such a prime minister.

"Why is the Prime Minister like this?"

"What's wrong with those doctors? If they can't cure this disease, I, the Prime Minister, will hold them all accountable."
