Chapter 375: Conspiracy
"Young Master, this Agriculture Director Su is too arrogant. He clearly doesn't put you in his eyes."
Su Fan left very casually.
Leaving Fusu unhappy in Haiyue Xiaozhu.
"Young Master should... should..."
"Should what?"
Fusu's face turned cold, looking at the attendant by his side, staring at him fixedly.
"What do you want to do?"
"I..."
Looking at the Young Master's cold expression, the attendant opened his mouth to say something, but didn't dare to speak.
"Hmph! Who do you think you are?"
"He is the Agriculture Colonel and Director of the Agriculture Office personally appointed by the Emperor, with a status comparable to the Nine Ministers. You have the guts of a leopard to want to deal with him?"
Although Fusu was benevolent, he was not stupid. What was Su Fan's status? Even if he was the noble son of Great Qin, he had no right to deal with him.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he, the son of Great Qin, was noble beyond compare, but in the eyes of the heavy ministers of the Empire, he was just a son.
Respected but not feared. If a real conflict arose, he really couldn't do anything to them.
And the other party had made no mistakes. If he really took it to the Emperor, he wouldn't be in the right, and instead, he would likely be punished.
So he kept a straight face, looking at this person, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, he slowly said: "You go."
"Young Master!"
The attendant heard this and was instantly dumbfounded, looking in disbelief. He naturally understood that Fusu telling him to go meant leaving the Young Master's mansion; this was to drive him away.
How could he not panic, how could he not be afraid?
"I don't know what you are thinking, but I cannot keep you by my side anymore."
Fusu's words made the attendant's heart sink to the bottom of the lake. Looking at the Young Master's serious appearance, the attendant cried bitterly, but it still couldn't change anything, so he could only kneel on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, and then slowly left.
After leaving Haiyue Xiaozhu, the attendant quickly walked to a courtyard. In the room, he wrote a letter, checked it several times, then carefully put it away, and then secretly came to another courtyard in the east of the city, handing this letter to a stranger.
"Send it out quickly."
After doing all this, the attendant slowly returned to his residence.
"Such a good opportunity, and it didn't succeed. It seems this Agriculture Director Su is truly extraordinary."
The attendant at this moment no longer had the submissiveness he had in Haiyue Xiaozhu; at this moment, his whole body exuded a sharp aura.
"It is not a good time to deal with this person for now. But this time, Fusu and this person had a conflict. In the future, when there is time, let the conflict between the two increase."
"I don't know how things are over at Zhongche. Have they inserted people by this person's side?"
The attendant muttered to himself.
On the other side, in the room at Haiyue Xiaozhu, Fusu listened to the Shadow Secret Guard's answer, his face becoming increasingly cold.
"Good, good!"
In the end, he couldn't help but smash the stone table next to him with one palm.
"Send people to watch him closely. Also, send people to watch the one who sent the letter, and see where it is finally delivered."
Fusu was full of gloom. He didn't expect that there was really something eating inside and out by his side. Before, he was just having a flash of inspiration; he didn't expect that the attendant was really sent by another faction.
"Who exactly is it?"
Fusu was not stupid. He instantly understood that the attendant's actions during the day were nothing more than wanting to make him and Agriculture Director Su have a conflict.
Having a conflict with someone comparable to one of the Nine Ministers—regardless of the final result, he wouldn't have a good time.
You have to know, Great Qin had not yet established a Crown Prince. He was the eldest son, that was true, but as long as the Emperor did not name him Crown Prince, then the other sons of Great Qin had a chance.
He was not the only one, and those heavy ministers did not choose to support him.
Don't look at the outside saying his chance was the greatest and many people supported him, but he himself understood that those who supported him were the Confucian disciples of his teacher's lineage.
Although there were many Confucian disciples, they didn't have much power in the court because the power in their hands was very small.
On the contrary, Legalist disciples occupied most of the court, and Legalist disciples did not recognize him, or rather, the Legalist heavy ministers led by Li Si did not have much good feeling for him. Otherwise, if these heavy ministers all supported him, he would probably have been named Crown Prince long ago.
This point, he actually understood in his heart.
It was just that he was confident that as long as he didn't make mistakes, the position of Crown Prince would inevitably be his. After all, his status was there.
Compared to other sons, he naturally occupied an advantage. In the future, as long as he had the support of the Nine Ministers, his status would be unthreatened.
It was just that now it seemed he was still a bit naive. Some people had long wanted to deal with him.
He didn't know who the person behind this was, but their intentions were sinister, actually arranging people by his side so early.
If it wasn't for his sudden flash of inspiration this time, he would probably have been successfully calculated by the other party.
Right now, he and that Agriculture Director Su were at most having some differences in philosophy. If he had really believed that person's words and gone to find trouble with that Agriculture Director Su...
Then he would inevitably have formed a grudge.
Offending a minister of the Nine Ministers—even for him, he wouldn't have a good time. He had discussed the Agriculture Office department with his teacher.
In the future, among the Nine Ministers, it would also be in the forefront, absolutely one of the most core parts of the court. Agriculture Director Su's contribution—that went without saying.
As a member of the royal family, he naturally knew that the Empire's national luck was constantly increasing. Based on this alone, he could be enfeoffed as a marquis.
Such a Nine Ministers minister who didn't rely on military merit and would be enfeoffed as a marquis in the future could definitely be ranked as one of the Three Excellencies.
Such a person—let alone he wasn't yet the Crown Prince, even if he were the Crown Prince, he wouldn't dare to offend him easily.
It could be seen how ruthless the calculation of the person behind this was.
Thinking of this, his eyes also became sharp. He was benevolent, but not a real fool. Others had calculated to this point; if he didn't fight back, wouldn't it make people feel that he was easy to bully?
"Someone, go and bring me the identities of those who came yesterday, as well as the situation these days."
Agriculture Director Su came to Donghai; he knew that. In order to promote agricultural technology, originally he thought this was a good thing, and the local area should also actively welcome it.
Now it seemed that there was indeed something he didn't know, or something he missed, so he now had to re-understand it.
He also knew that everything that happened today, it wouldn't be long before the Emperor would know. At that time, if he didn't give a satisfactory attitude, he would probably make the Emperor angry again.
And he also wanted to use this time to give the person who calculated him a fierce counterattack, letting them know the consequences of calculating him.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the third master of the Little Sage Virtuous Manor, whose wisdom was extraordinary. Getting along with him these days had been very harmonious. ===== CHAPTER 376 =====
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that Third Master of the Little Sage Virtuous Manor, whose wisdom was extraordinary; having spent time with him these past few days, they got along very well.
