On the other side, Yan Shuang and his friends returned to the Mohist School, and the Mohist School was reunited again.
Only a small number of people stayed at Jingshui Pavilion, where there was an iron smelting furnace that needed someone to look after.
This time, Yan Shuang and the others followed Zhao Wen back to Xianyang, also wanting to learn more from him.
Su Ling learned from them that Mr. Zhao had already returned to Xianyang. If Zhao Qingrui had not temporarily refused those people's visit, he would have wanted to visit him immediately.
Over the past year, he has learned a lot from Zhao Qingrui and Xie Peiyun, but he is still curious about Mr. Zhao Wen and wants to see this knowledgeable teacher with his own eyes.
As soon as he came back, invitations to visit Zhao Wen were sent to Xuanyi Palace like they were free. All of this was thanks to Peiyun and others. Nowadays, many officials in Xianyang, as long as they were the group led by Zhao Qingrui, are very popular in various departments.
They are knowledgeable, do their work properly, and are doing well in various departments. They have successfully established themselves in Daqin with their own abilities.
Even though everyone knew that these people were Zhao Qingrui's servants, no one criticized this in the court. After all, they had real abilities. They didn't rely on Zhao Qingrui's connections to climb up the ladder. They made a living with their own abilities.
Of course, Zhao Wen's reputation became known, and many people became curious about him.
Especially those Confucian scholars, such as Chunyu Yue, they think they are no worse than anyone else. Now that Mr. Zhao has come to Xianyang, even the left and right prime ministers have sent invitations to him.
Zhao Wen's popularity was beyond their expectations.
After Fusu returned from Jingshui Pavilion, he also highly praised Mr. Zhao. Chunyu Yue felt that his position was threatened.
Fusu was distant from him, but close to and praised other people. It would be strange if he felt good about it.
A man walked back and forth in the mansion, feeling very restless.
"Dr. Chunyu, why are you in such a hurry? Let's go and see Mr. Zhao later to see if he has real ability." Zhou Yan drank tea calmly.
After these teas became popular in Xianyang, he also liked them very much. In his spare time, he would invite a few friends to drink a cup in the courtyard and discuss some knowledge, which was a rare and elegant thing to do.
Although he didn't really believe in that person's ability, it was mainly because Zhao Wen had been taught such miraculous skills by those people. They had learned for so many years to achieve their current status.
He also didn't think that a country boy could achieve such success, it was too much to boast.
When I find the chance, I will meet him and expose him.
"How can you not let me be anxious? I went to see Master Fusu and was rejected again. Yesterday, I went to the Imperial Censorate, and Master Fusu did see me, but he kept talking about Mr. Zhao." Chunyu Yue said irritably.
Having been stripped of his status as Prince Fusu's teacher, he now has little say in the court. The feeling of being quickly marginalized is really not good.
There are too many new faces in the court now, and many laws and regulations have been changed, which makes it difficult for him to adapt to these changes.
However, we have to adapt to this change, otherwise we will be eliminated.
After thinking about those days at home, he had already experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature, and he didn't want to live that kind of life again.
Li Si and Feng Quji were so prosperous, as were the Wang and Meng families. He envied their lives, and this was also his goal.
Therefore, he spared no effort to assist Prince Fusu.
He was Fusu's teacher, and he taught Fusu to be a gentleman. Fusu was indeed easy to control before.
Unfortunately, after Zhao Qingrui returned, the situation in the court took a sharp turn for the worse.
With the indulgence of the First Emperor, earth-shaking changes took place in the court.
If Fusu ascended the throne, he might have the same glory as Feng Quji and others.
Now Fusu is wholeheartedly staying in the position of Chief Censor. It’s not that this place is bad, it’s simply too good, the center of power in the Qin Dynasty.
But Fusu was unwilling to listen to his words, and Zhou Yan could not understand this feeling at all.
He was anxious about losing his power and worried about his future. He was not young anymore, Fusu did not value him, and His Majesty cared even less about him. He was not the only doctor in the institute, and he did not want to be eliminated.
"Whether he has real talent or not can only be known by seeing it with your own eyes. There is no point in being anxious, Dr. Chunyu. Instead of being anxious, you should think about how to repair your relationship with Prince Fusu." Zhou Yan put down the teacup helplessly.
"How do you say we should repair it? Over the past year or so, we have tried so many methods, and Lord Zhou has come up with so many ideas. Has it been effective?" Chunyu Yue was completely furious.
With no idea of the future, he felt completely down.
Zhou Yan always spoke nicely and came up with a lot of ideas, asking him to repair his relationship with Fusu.
However, these ideas were of no use and even pushed Prince Fusu further away.
He could feel that Prince Fusu's patience with him was almost reaching its limit. If he went a few more times, Prince Fusu might get tired of him.
"Your Majesty is back, and the opportunity will naturally come." Zhou Yan said calmly.
"Tell me about it." After a pause, Chunyu Yue sat down.
Ever since this stool became popular, even people in Guizhou have replaced their homes with chairs that can be leaned against. Such chairs are indeed very convenient.
However, in Chunyu Yue's opinion, this sitting posture is naturally not as elegant as kneeling. The emergence of these things has had a huge impact on etiquette, which is one of the reasons why he cannot accept these changes.
"Your Majesty is now training the troops vigorously, he must want to fight the Huns. Prince Fusu is also capable of leading troops. When the time comes, we can advise Your Majesty to let Prince Fusu be the chief general and let him make military achievements." As a Confucian scholar, Zhou Yan is from the same school as Chunyu Yue. He also hopes that Fusu can go further.
Zhao Qingrui's status posed too great a threat to Fusu.
Fusu's only advantage now is his good reputation.
However, this advantage is also decreasing little by little. With Zhao Qingrui's actions, Zhao Qingrui's influence among the common people and those gentry has surpassed that of Prince Fusu.
"What if Prince Fusu is unwilling?" This is indeed an opportunity, an opportunity to earn credit.
They were naturally aware of the strength of the Qin army. They had invested more in the army over the past year. In their view, defeating the Huns was no big deal at all.
"Doctor Chunyu is Prince Fusu's teacher. When the time comes, the doctor will be the lobbyist and analyze the pros and cons for the prince. Since Prince Fusu is unwilling to go against Princess Qingrui, you should change direction. This is to serve the court and so on. I don't need to teach the doctor these things." Zhou Yan said calmly.
