Chapter 134 Meeting the Meng Family
Fusu and Xiao He smiled at each other, and the doubts in their hearts immediately dissipated a lot.
"Under the current circumstances, even if Li You is willing to help me this time and persuade his father, I am still no match for Hu Hai in the court."
Fusu stood by the window, looking into the distance, his heart full of worry.
Behind him, Liu Ji sighed softly, "Young Master, what you said is absolutely right."
"Although Zhao Gao is dead, his faction is still strong, and now they all obey Hu Hai."
"Hu Hai and Zhao Gao once formed a community. Although Zhao Gao is dead now, Hu Hai's power has not been greatly affected."
Fusu turned around, frowning, "Yes, Hu Hai now has greater ambitions."
"If I want to consolidate my position, I must gain the support of more ministers."
Liu Ji's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Sir, I have a plan."
"From the folk, I learned that the Meng family and Zhao Gao were at loggerheads. Their family hated evil and was incompatible with Zhao Gao's style of doing things."
"More importantly, the Meng family is not loyal to Hu Hai. Why don't you try to win the support of the Meng family?"
After Fusu heard this, his eyes lit up, "The Meng family... is indeed a good choice."
"But General Meng Tian is an upright man. It may not be easy to gain his support."
At Liu Ji's suggestion, Fusu decided to visit Meng Tian in person at the military camp, hoping to win the support of this meritorious general.
He understood that this trip was crucial and might determine his victory or defeat in the court struggle.
Early in the morning, Fusu, along with several followers, rode fast horses and hurried to the military camp.
Outside the city of Xianyang, there were military camps everywhere, flags flying, and the soldiers were well-trained and disciplined.
When Fusu and his entourage arrived at the gate of the military camp, the soldiers guarding the gate saw that it was the prince who had arrived, and immediately saluted respectfully, and no one dared to stop them.
Fusu nodded slightly in response, and then walked straight towards Meng Tian's tent.
Meng Tian was handling military affairs in the tent. When he heard that Crown Prince Fusu was coming in person, he hurriedly put down the pen in his hand, straightened his clothes and armor, and hurried out to greet him.
"I am Meng Tian, the humble general, and I am here to pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Meng Tian bowed and saluted in a loud voice.
Fusu quickly helped Meng Tian up, "General Meng, please stand up quickly. There is no need to be so polite between you and me."
The two men entered the tent and sat down as host and guest.
Meng Tian looked at Fusu, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has come to the military camp in person, I wonder what important matter is there?"
Fusu took a deep breath and began to explain his purpose.
"General Meng, to be honest, I came here this time hoping to get your support."
"The situation in the court is changing. Although Zhao Gao is dead, his remnants are still ready to make a move."
"Prince Hu Hai and Zhao Gao once formed a community, but now they have joined forces, posing a serious threat to my position in the court."
After hearing this, Meng Tian frowned and said, "Your Highness, I deeply sympathize with your situation."
"But the court dispute is a national affair. How can I, a mere warrior, help?"
Fusu smiled slightly and said, "General Meng is too modest."
"You have great prestige in the court. If I can get your support, my chances of winning will be greatly increased."
"I hope you can speak for me in the court and lend me a helping hand."
Meng Tian sat in the tent, listening to Fusu's story in silence.
The prince's words revealed a deep worry and concern about the future of the country, which made Meng Tian fall into deep thought.
He knew in his heart that the struggle in the court was never a simple game of power.
