Three days later.
The First Emperor on the throne was not in the mood to listen to the memorials of the officials. He was most concerned about the matter of fighting against the Xiongnu that Fu Su had mentioned.
In the past month, the First Emperor had been very puzzled by Fu Su's actions.
Forging Mothersteel? Open a blacksmith shop?
What could he do? Isn't it a fool's dream to expect to use this thing to fight against the Xiongnu?
The officials thought the same. They had no confidence in iron.
On the contrary, Li Xin was very confident in what Fu Su said. After all, he had bought a few barrels of beer from Fu Su for free.
Everyone was looking forward to seeing what Fu Su would take out. They kept looking outside the hall, but Fu Su was nowhere to be seen.
"Why hasn't Young Master Fusu appeared yet?”
"That's right. The morning court session is about to end. Why hasn't he appeared yet?”
"I think Young Master Fu Su doesn't have the confidence either.”
"That's right. Isn't it wishful thinking to use five thousand cavalry to charge straight into the Xiongnu royal court?”
Everyone was waiting for Fu Su to appear, and Li Xin was already scratching his ears and cheeks.
At first, the First Emperor was still sitting upright on the throne. As time passed, he closed his eyes and dozed off.
At this moment, a person walked into the hall. He had a stocky build, a full beard, a wide sleeve brocade robe, and white hair.
"This old subject Wang Jian pays his respects to Your Majesty.”
This sound startled the First Emperor, who was still sleeping.
"Old General, there's no need to be so polite."
Wang Jian nodded his head. He stood up and entered the crowd of officials. Although Wang Jian's temples were now graying, a sense of oppression surged out from his eyes.
This was something he had honed through hundreds of battles during the Warring States Period.
In terms of battle achievements, Wang Jian was probably equal to Meng Tian.
But to talk about the current war god, there was only Old Man Wang Jian alone.
"Old General, you're here."
"Greetings, Old General."
"Old General, are you still healthy recently?”
The officials all greeted Wang Jian with smiles on their faces. Wang Jian looked around the officials and said with a smile,"Hello, everyone."
Wang Jian did not need to attend court, but he had heard that Fu Su could use 5,000 cavalry to attack the Xiongnu, so he came to join in the fun.
Just as Wang Jian stepped into the hall, Fu Su walked in with the three old masters of the blacksmith shop.
"Your son Fu Su greets Imperial Father."
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
All the officials looked over and saw that the three masters were holding some strange iron items in their hands. They had never seen them before.
They only recognized the long saber in Fu Su's hand.
The First Emperor looked at the strange thing in the hands of the three masters with a dumbfounded expression.
"Fusu, what are these?"
"Whoosh!" Fu Su pulled out Tang Heng's saber. The saber's blade was glowing with a faint cold light. Wherever it shone, all the officials closed their eyes.
"Reporting to Imperial Father, this item is Tang Qin's horizontal saber!”Fu Su almost lost his grip.
"Qin Hengdao?" The First Emperor stroked his beard and asked,""This is made of iron?"
"That's right." Fu Su nodded.
pfff ~
The officials couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahahaha, Young Master Fusu is ridiculous. Iron weapons can only be used as farming tools. It's still too fragile to kill enemies in battle!”
"That's right, Young Master Fusu. Have you never seen a hoe before? Iron hoeing was fine, but he could forget about going into battle.”
"Young Master Fusu, bronze is several times harder than iron.”
Not only did the officials think it was impossible, even the First Emperor felt the same. He sighed in disappointment and said,""If father knew that you were using iron to forge weapons, he wouldn't have allowed you to continue.”
Li Xin's excited eyes dimmed. It seemed that his chance to regain his glory had passed.
Wang Jian also shook his head when he saw Qin Hengdao in Fu Su's hand. He clearly knew the uselessness of iron weapons after fighting his way up through piles of corpses.
In the end, the First Emperor waved his hand disappointedly at Fu Su and said,""Forget it, you can leave."
When the First Emperor saw Qin Hengdao, he lost interest in the strange ironware in the hands of the old masters.
"Ding! Favorable impression of the First Emperor decreased by 10. Current Favorable impression is 60.”
Fu Su was speechless.
F * ck, your grandpa, the favorable impression points that I spent so much effort to gain have decreased just like that? Are you crazy?
"Imperial Father, this Qin Hengdao is not an ordinary iron weapon. It is made of iron-mother. It is extremely hard and tough!”
Before the First Emperor could speak, the white-haired old man jumped out again.
"Your Majesty, I impeach Young Master Fusu for spouting nonsense. How can iron be harder than bronze?”
The First Emperor nodded. He was very sure of what the old man said.
"Help Su down. Don't quibble.”
When the First Emperor said this, the ministers all agreed.
"Young Master Fusu, please retreat. Don't let His Majesty the First Emperor get angry.”
"Young Master Fusu, don't speak like that. Even a three-year-old child in Great Qin knows that iron is incredibly sharp!”
"Young Master Fu Su, quickly leave. Don't embarrass His Majesty the First Emperor.”
Fu Su was furious when he heard that. What a bunch of brainless idiots. Your iron is brittle because your smelting technology is too trashy. My iron is all tempered into steel.
"Imperial Father, your son is telling the truth. If Imperial Father doesn't believe me, you can let your son try.”
The First Emperor frowned. What was wrong with this Fu Su? Why was he so stubborn?
"How do you want to try?"
Hearing this, Fu Su pointed to the outside of the hall and said,"Go to the horse track and get on the horse!"”
If he wanted to show the effects of stirrers, he had to get on a horse to try them out. Moreover, Fu Su was sure that these things would be invincible after he got on the horse.
"Good!" The First Emperor was a little angry. He slammed the table and stood up."If you want to mount a horse and try it out, I will let you do so. But if this thing of yours is really useless, then don't blame Imperial Father for being heartless.”
The First Emperor had just asked Fu Su to step down because he did not want to continue to lose face in front of the officials. The First Emperor was also furious that his son had done such a stupid thing.
Originally, he wouldn't punish Fu Su if he retreated. However, Fu Su was stubborn and there was nothing he could do.
Fu Su had absolute confidence in getting on the horse. After being ridiculed by everyone, he was also angry."Alright, then Imperial Father, please move to the horse track.”
"Ding! First Emperor's Favorability decreased by 10, current Favorability increased by 50.”
Fu Su was speechless when he heard the system's notification.'I have to do so many things to increase my favorability by 10 points, and I can reduce it by 10 points just because I say so?'
Even though Fu Su was furious, he knew that as long as these things were effective, his favorability would definitely return.
"Humph!" The First Emperor snorted and waved his hand.""Dear ministers, follow me to the horse track!"
"Understood!"
