Fusu finally realized that this was Zhao Gao and Li Si's dissatisfaction with the abolition of the Black Ice Guard.

Apart from Confucian officials, not a single civil or military official in the court supported Shusun Tong, leaving Fusu in a dilemma.

This is why Ying Zheng said he was cowardly and weak; he was not ruthless when he should have been, and he could not intimidate his ministers at all!

"Court adjourned!"

In a fit of anger, Fusu returned to the inner palace.

This time, Shusun Tong suffered a complete defeat, and Zhao Gao revealed his true colors. Now, the entire city of Xianyang is filled with people from the Black Ice Guard, and even most of the guards in Xianyang Palace are from the Black Ice Guard.

Although they are no longer with the Black Ice Station, they were once members of it.

In history, Zhao Gao's act of pointing at a deer and calling it a horse has now been turned into a story of intimidating Confucian scholars and Fusu.

When a minister threatens the ruler's position, that minister is doomed.

Zhao Gao is the best example; after Fusu returned to the palace, he was furious.

This Zhao Gao actually dared to fool him by relying on the power of the Black Ice Terrace? Moreover, the entire court of officials listened to Zhao Gao and not to him, which made Fusu even more furious.

"Summon Shusun Tong to see me!"

Soon, Shusun Tong was invited into Xianyang Palace.

"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty!" said Shusun Tong, bowing respectfully.

No need for formalities!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Shusun Tong stood up and stood still, he saw that Fusu's face was very pale, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"My dear Uncle! I must abolish the Black Ice Guard and have Zhao Gao arrested and executed by slow slicing!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Shusun Tong quickly flattered him.

"My dear Uncle! Do you have any way to disband the Black Ice Guard?"

"This..." Shusun Tong hesitated.

Now that all the officials in the court listen to Zhao Gao, this matter is quite difficult to accomplish.

After pondering for a moment, Shusun Tong immediately had an idea.

"Your Majesty, at this juncture, we have no choice but to send General Meng back to the capital!"

Now, almost no one in the court listens to Fusu, and even the palace guards are from the Black Ice Guard. So, Meng Tian has no choice but to lead the troops back to the capital.

With 300,000 Meng family soldiers under his command, destroying Zhao Gao would be as easy as turning his hand!

Fusu nodded repeatedly. During the years he had been training at the Great Wall, he had always had a good relationship with Meng Tian, ​​and he was certain that Meng Tian would listen to him.

But he forgot that back then, Ying Zheng had given a strict order: Meng Tian was to guard the Great Wall, and Wang Ben and Zhao Tuo were to guard Nanyue. Even if the Qin Dynasty fell, they were not allowed to send reinforcements.

Because Ying Zheng was influenced by Lu Li, the Qin Dynasty could be destroyed, but the Chinese nation could not perish!

Meng Tian only listened to Ying Zheng throughout his life, because he was loyal to only Ying Zheng.

Fusu sent a Confucian scholar to deliver an imperial edict to Meng Tian. This scholar harbored deep hatred for Meng Tian!

The Confucian scholars never forgot Meng Tian's massacre of them, and they even vowed to one day tear Meng Tian to pieces to avenge this grudge.

This time, as the envoy, he saw Meng Tian kneeling at his feet to receive the imperial edict, so he arrogantly read it aloud.

When Meng Tian received Fusu's imperial edict, he immediately said to the Confucian scholar, "I was entrusted by the late emperor to guard the Great Wall. If I bring 300,000 troops back to Xianyang, what should I do if the Hetao region is lost?"

"Huh? How dare you, Meng Tian! Do you intend to disobey the imperial decree?" the Confucian scholar shouted angrily.

Suppressing his anger, Meng Tian explained, "It's not that I'm disobeying the imperial decree, but rather that I dare not disobey the late emperor's orders! The Hetao region was finally conquered, allowing the border people to enjoy a few days of peace."

"If we discard it again, it might not be so easy to get it back!"

The Confucian scholar's expression changed, and he said through gritted teeth, "You, Meng Tian! You are truly in cahoots with Zhao Gao and Li Si, and you call yourself a loyal minister!"

Meng Tian took a deep breath, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Putting everything else aside, he did support Fusu's succession to the throne back then, because he was Ying Zheng's eldest son and his reputation for benevolence and righteousness was known throughout the world.

Yet he favors Confucian scholars, and now, in order to disband the Black Ice Guard, he wants to transfer 300,000 troops back to Xianyang, completely disregarding the safety of the border people.

When Fusu witnessed the suffering of the people on the border, it wasn't like this.

Furthermore, the Black Ice Platform was built by Lu Li, who made outstanding contributions in the conquest of the six states. Without Lu Li and the Black Ice Platform, would Qin have been able to unify the six states in ten years? That would have been a pipe dream!

Moreover, the Black Ice Guard had not done anything drastic before; it was only because they wanted to be dismissed that Zhao Gao staged the scene of calling a deer a horse.

Even if Fusu wanted to kill Zhao Gao, Meng Tian didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but he couldn't accept that the Meng family army was to deal with the Black Ice Guard.

"My Meng family has been loyal and virtuous for three generations. How dare you defile us?"

After saying this, Meng Tian angrily shouted and ordered his men to drag the scholar away and beat him severely before sending him back to Xianyang.

After the scholar returned to Xianyang, he told Fusu the story with exaggerated details, which immediately enraged Fusu!

Excellent! What a fine Meng Tian! What a loyal and courageous Meng family army!

How could he, as the emperor, not be able to mobilize the Meng family army?

At this moment, Fusu also realized how terrifying the Black Ice Platform was. Even Meng Tian didn't want to take action against them, which made him feel deeply threatened.

Shusun Tong sneered. This was all part of his scheme, because he knew Meng Tian would never return.

He knew Meng Tian's character too well. Meng Tian was only loyal to Ying Zheng. When Ying Zheng issued the decree ordering him to guard the Great Wall, Shusun Tong heard it with his own ears.

The reason he still wanted Fusu to do this was to frame Meng Tian and avenge the humiliation of burying scholars alive years ago!
