After the court session ended, Fu Su sent Du Ruhui to their residence.
Fu Su was not familiar with Du Ruhui.
But they had been to the Great Tang before, and the two of them had met a few times and chatted with each other.
On the way, Du Ruhui took the initiative to talk to Fu Su and said with a smile,""It has been a long time since we parted, but Young Master Fusu still looks as elegant as ever.”
"I can still vividly remember that day when I competed with Li Bai in poetry and berated the Turkic envoy.”
Fu Su smiled and said," Lord Du, you flatter me. It is my duty as an envoy to not humiliate the country."”
"That trip to the Tang Empire benefited me greatly. The memory of the Tang Empire's might and Chang 'an's prosperity is still fresh in my mind.”
"If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely take the princess to Chang 'an again. At that time, I will visit Lord Du's residence.”
Fu Su spoke very generously and appropriately.
Du Ruhui smiled when he heard this." If Young Master Fusu and the Princess come, I will definitely welcome you!"”
"Then it's a deal."
Fu Su smiled and nodded. At this moment, the carriage had just arrived at the Courier Station.
After sending Du Ruhui and the others into the posthouse and settling them down, Fu Su bade farewell and left.
In front of the window.
Du Ruhui watched as Fusu's carriage left, deep in thought.
"Lord Du, what's wrong?"
An envoy asked when he saw Du Ruhui standing there in deep thought.
"It's nothing."
Du Ruhui shook his head and asked them,""How do you think the King of Qin is compared to His Majesty?”
Hearing this, the envoys looked at each other.
After hesitating for a moment, one of them said in shame,"The King of Qin is very dignified. I don't even dare to look up in front of him.”
"That's right. In terms of prestige, His Majesty is inferior.”
Another envoy agreed.
Previously, in the Imperial Court, Ying Zheng had given them tremendous pressure, and only Du Ruhui was able to maintain his composure, while the rest of them had their expressions changed drastically.
Although Li Shi Min was also very dignified, he was very kind most of the time. Only when he was angry would he show the might of a king.
But Ying Zheng was different. He was just sitting there and doing nothing, yet he was already giving off a suffocating pressure.
This was a true king!
"Everyone says that the King of Qin is the overlord who swept through the six states. No wonder he could control a character like the Killing God Baiqi.”
An envoy sighed with emotion, but at the same time, his heart palpitated. He shook his head and said,"Fortunately, the State of Qin is weak. Otherwise, if it was ruled by such a tyrannical monarch, the world would definitely be at war.”
All the envoys had a very high evaluation of Ying Zheng.
After all, they had long heard of Ying Zheng's series of achievements, such as wiping out the six dynasties, reforming the country, and settling the nobles...
All of these were things that could only be done with great courage, but Ying Zheng had done it all by himself!
From this, it could be seen that Ying Zheng was an overlord!
Du Ruhui nodded and asked,""What do you think of Young Master Fu Su?”
When Fu Su was mentioned, everyone's evaluation was very consistent.
"Young Master Fusu is humble and polite. His personality is very gentle and extremely talented.”
"Hmm…he doesn't look like the King of Qin at all.”
"I think so too. Young Master Fusu's personality is completely different from the King of Qin. If he were the King of Qin, he would be a benevolent ruler.”
"This is undoubtedly a good thing for our Great Tang.”
……
All the envoys said.
Du Ruhui's expression didn't change much after hearing their comments. He looked out the window again, his gaze even more profound.
A benevolent ruler? That might not be the case.
……
Du Ruhui's trip to Great Qin was not just for the trade between the two countries and Princess Changle's wedding.
There was another purpose, which was to spy on the true national strength and situation of the Qin country and take the opportunity to investigate Fu Su.
The reason was simple.
Although the Qin Country was poor and weak, the Qin soldiers had extremely strong combat strength. They were unparalleled in the world and could not be underestimated.
Now that the Qin and Tang countries had started trading, the Qin country had obtained equipment. Its strength would definitely increase greatly, unlike in the past.
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was a true overlord, just like the rumors said. Such an overlord, coupled with a powerful country, was definitely unsettling.
It was the same for both enemies and allies.
However, now that Qin and Tang had formed an alliance, there would be no conflict between the two countries during Ying Zheng's reign, and they would focus on improving their national strength.
The only thing he needed to worry about was the next King of Qin.
Fu Su was currently the most promising one among the many young masters in the State of Qin, so they focused on investigating him.
What the Tang Empire was most worried about was that Fu Su was also an overlord like Ying Zheng, which was completely disadvantageous to the Tang Empire.
Although Fu Su's actions showed that he was a kind and gentle person, Li Shiming still couldn't be completely at ease.
This was because what kind of ruler Fu Su was would directly affect the Tang Empire's foreign policy towards the Qin Empire in the future.
If he was a benevolent ruler, then everyone would be happy.
Tang did not need to be too wary of Qin. They could rest assured and be on good terms with Qin. They would support the child of Fu Su and Princess Changle to succeed the throne in the future. The two countries would maintain a friendly relationship for at least three generations.
However, if Fu Su's kindness was only on the surface, and he had the same ambition as Ying Zheng, then the Tang Empire had to make preparations in advance and secretly be wary of the Qin Empire's great power.
The truth was straightforward and realistic.
There was no true friendship between countries. Everything was based on interests.
……
After staying in the posthouse for two days, Du Ruhui changed into casual clothes and left the posthouse alone to stroll around Xianyang City.
Similar to what he saw when he came, Xianyang City was indeed not very prosperous.
The buildings were uneven and uniform, and the clothes of the common people on the streets were also casual. It was completely different from Chang 'an.
After strolling on the streets for a while, Du Ruhui grew tired of it and found a tea stall by the roadside to settle down.
"Sir, what kind of tea would you like to drink?”
The waiter of the tea stall came over and asked him enthusiastically.
"What kind of tea do you have here?"
Du Ruhui asked curiously.
He liked to drink tea, but he had never tasted the tea in the State of Qin.
The waiter smiled and said," You must be joking. Our small tea stall only has green tea, Maojian tea, and bitter tea. Which one do you want?"”
Hearing that it was just some ordinary tea leaves, Du Ruhui lost interest and casually said,"Then Mao Jian it is."
"Alright!"
The waiter immediately agreed. After a while, he served Du Ruhui a pot of hot tea.
