Chapter 126 Li Smith's Visit
Fusu knew that even if this was the case, he had no choice but to disobey the emperor's order.
His father asked him to get along with his brothers, but he knew very well that the relationship between Hu Hai and Li Si was special.
He originally wanted to stop Li Si personally, but he didn't expect that he was still a step too late.
"Are you sure it's Li Si himself?" Fusu asked in a deep voice.
"It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes." The guard answered affirmatively.
Fusu took a deep breath and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
He knew that Li Si's visit to Hu Hai's residence must be to discuss countermeasures to obstruct his reform of the imperial examination system.
What worried him even more was that Li Si might have already placed spies around Hu Hai.
"You stay outside Hu Hai's mansion and continue to monitor. Report immediately if there is any movement." Fusu ordered decisively.
The guards took the order and left, while Fusu continued to ponder over countermeasures.
He knew that this power struggle had just begun, and he had to be fully prepared.
Fusu took a deep breath, jumped on his horse, and galloped towards the palace.
The sound of horse hooves echoed in the empty streets, sounding particularly clear.
However, Fusu's heart was not at peace.
He had long noticed the unusual relationship between Li Si and Hu Hai, and this personal visit made him more certain of his judgment.
Li Si's absence seemed more like a deliberate avoidance, which made Fusu full of worries about the upcoming court turmoil.
The night is dark and the wind is freezing.
Fusu returned from Hu Hai's mansion, his heart full of doubts and anxieties.
He estimated that Li Si might have placed people around Hu Hai, which made him worried about his own situation.
Is there any spy of Li Si hidden around him? All this is unknown.
Back at the palace, the towering palace gate looked even more solemn and majestic under the moonlight.
Fusu saw a figure waiting at the palace gate from afar. It was his trusted guard Li Chen.
"Sir!" Li Chen came forward, looking anxious, "You are finally back, how is the situation?"
Fusu shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "The situation is not optimistic."
"Li Si's collusion with Hu Hai is deeper than we thought."
"We must strengthen our defenses, and at the same time, I also need to develop my own spies."
Li Chen nodded, his expression solemn: "Don't worry, sir, I will do my best to assist you."
Fusu patted Li Chen's shoulder with a firm look.
"I believe you. Now, I need you to help me select some fighters with clean backgrounds and strong martial arts skills."
"We need to place our own eyes in the palace."
Li Chen replied solemnly: "Yes, sir! I'll do it right away."
After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry.
Fusu looked at his back as he disappeared into the night, and an inexplicable power surged in his heart.
He knew that this power struggle had just begun and he needed more strength to support himself.
Soon, Li Chen returned to the palace with a group of capable guards.
They lined up neatly in front of Fusu's palace, waiting for Fusu's inspection.
Fusu walked up to them and looked at them one by one.
These guards were carefully selected by Li Chen. Their eyes were firm and loyal, which made Fusu very satisfied.
The night was as dark as ink, and the lights in the palace were dim, flickering with faint lights.
Fusu stood in front of the window, gazing deeply at the distant starry sky, with an indescribable passion surging in his heart.
He knew very well that he was standing at the crossroads of history and a struggle for power was about to begin.
Li Chen stood quietly behind Fusu, waiting for the prince's instructions.
