Chapter 181: Murderous Will
Early the next morning, Meng Tian and Meng Li got up and took the soldiers of the Meng family who came with them to Han Fei's residence. Zheng Guo didn't fall asleep all night since Meng Tian and Meng Li took back his hard work in the middle of the night, and in the second half of the night, he forced himself to pack his things with sleepiness, and waited until the morning Meng Tian came with people, loaded everything into the carriage, and everyone set off for Xianyang.
The city gate of Xinzheng will only be opened when the time comes, Meng Tian is afraid that things will change, so he waited on the street not far from the city gate in advance, and when the time came, the city gate opened, and several horses and a carriage went directly out of the city gate of Xinzheng.
There was no obstacle along the way, and when it was difficult to pass through, Meng Tian also used some gold and silver, and the Korean soldiers guarding the pass did not embarrass the group, and opened the city gate to let them pass.
Five days later, the group finally arrived in Xianyang. After entering Xianyang City, Meng Tian took Zheng Guo to the Zhuyi Pavilion where Han Fei was staying. After Han Fei got the news, he also hurried to the gate of the Zhuyi Pavilion to greet his friend.
Han Fei and Zheng Guo met, and the two of them had a big hug, Han Fei had been in Qin for nearly a year, and in this year, Han Fei, as the guest secretary of King Yingzheng of Qin, often discussed Legalist academic issues with Yingzheng in the palace of King Qin. Ying Zheng very much agrees with the Legalist concept of rule of law, and he wants Han Fei to stay and improve the Qin law that has not been changed since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, but Han Fei never agreed. Han Fei thought that he was a courtier of South Korea and could no longer become a courtier of another country, so he repeatedly rejected Yingzheng's solicitation, and after a long time, Yingzheng gave up.
Meng Tian watched Han Fei and Zheng Guo's old friends meet each other, and disturbed on the side: "Lord Han Fei, Lord Zheng Guo, my mission has been completed, I am going to the palace now to reply to the king, so I will not delay the two adults to get together." ”
Han Fei hugged his fists and thanked Meng Tian: "General Meng has worked hard all the way to escort my friend from South Korea here, Han Fei is grateful. Zheng Guo also hugged his fists next to him and thanked Meng Tian.
"Lord Han Fei is polite, Meng Tian is also doing this for the sake of the Qin State. Farewell. Meng Tian rode a horse and left the Zhuyi Pavilion with Meng Li, and then he asked Meng Li to take people back to the military camp first, and when he came back from the palace, he would go back to the military camp.
When they arrived at the palace, it was already noon, Meng Tian arrived at the gate of the palace, and said hello to Fang Feng who was on duty at the door, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Meng Tian walked towards Zhangtai Palace.
In the side hall of Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng was eating, except for a few eunuchs who were responsible for serving food for Ying Zheng, only Zhao Gao accompanied Ying Zheng. Hearing that the eunuch at the door said that Meng Tian asked to see him, Yingzheng hurriedly let him in.
"The minister Mengtian paid a visit to the king. Meng Tian walked into the side hall and knelt on the ground and said.
"Meng Qing, please get up. Ying Zheng asked Meng Tian to get up, "Meng Qing just came back and hasn't eaten yet, right?" Zhao Gao, go prepare a seat, and let the imperial dining room serve Meng Tian another table of meals exactly the same as the widow's. ”
"No. "Zhao Gaoli
opened, went to the imperial dining room to pass the dishes to Meng Tian.
Meng Tian bowed to the ground here: "Thank you, the king." ”
Ying Zheng saw Meng Tian knelt down again, and said: "The widow has said it, Meng Qing doesn't have to be so profitable, it's not that you haven't had dinner with the widow before, where did you get so many rules, sit down." ”
Meng Tian smiled and sat on the couch on the side, and then an attendant came to put a table in front of Meng Tian.
Ying Zheng wanted Meng Tian to ask: "Meng Qing went to South Korea and came back so quickly this time, did things go smoothly?"
Meng Tian replied sideways: "Yes, the journey was really smooth, and the last general successfully received Zheng Guo in Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea." It turned out that this Zheng Guo was not well received in South Korea, but this was only because his talent was too much higher than his colleagues, so he received such treatment, and when the last general found him and said that the king invited him to go to Qin as an official, he agreed without thinking about it, and asked the last general to promise him that if the king was not satisfied with his water control project, he would let him go to the place where Li Bing, the former Shu County Taishou who built Dujiangyan, lived, as a petty official, which shows how disgusted he is with Korea. ”
Ying Zheng laughed after listening to it, "I didn't expect this Korean to be so interesting, since Han Fei recommended him so much, presumably this Zheng Guo must have some outstanding skills." Anyway, the widowed Qin State is not inferior to him as a petty official, and the widow just promised him. ”
Meng Tian clasped his fists and said, "Then the general will thank the king for Lord Zheng Guo first." ”
Ying Zheng waved his hand, and he continued to say to Meng Tian: "How about it, listening to General Wang, it seems that General Meng Wei has found a granddaughter-in-law for himself?"
Meng Tianda, he didn't know why Ying Zheng brought up this matter. "Your Majesty, where do you begin to say this?"
"You kid, why didn't the widow find out that your peach blossom luck was so good before, we are about the same age, you married the widow first, and your wife's appearance is not much worse than the widow's queen, this time there is another woman who is willing to enter the military camp for you, and it is said that the posture is still above Zi Yanran. It's really strange, could it be that there is still this benefit in leading troops to fight?, so don't the widows also consider putting on armor and going into battle?" Ying Zheng smiled strangely, looked at Meng Tian and said.
Meng Tian got up and knelt on one knee, clasped his fist to Yingzheng and said: "How can the king's body of ten thousand gold be in danger in person? ”
Ying Zheng didn't say a word, Meng Tian knelt down to him again, and waved his hand to let Meng Tian get up. "The widow is joking with you. Naturally, you will be able to kill the enemy in battle, and the widow is very relieved. But at the moment, the widow has one more thing, I want you to do it for the widow. ”
"Although the king commands, but there is an order, Meng Tian will definitely do a good job for the king. ”
Ying Zheng asked Meng Tian to come to him, asked him to come over with his ear, and then said something in his ear. Meng Tian was taken aback after hearing this, with an incredulous look on his face.
Ying Zheng said: "This matter will be handed over to you, I hope you can do it well." Although the widow also
I don't want to do this, but I don't want to do it, but I trust you and believe that you will do it well. ”
Meng Tian returned to his couch and replied, "The last general has said that as long as the king commands, the last general will fight to complete it." ”
The meal he ate in the side hall was the least appetizing meal Meng Tian had since he was a child, because the meal was full of bloody taste. Meng Tian had killed many people on the battlefield, and many generals of enemy countries had their heads beheaded by him, but this time the task given to him by Ying Zheng made it really difficult for him, because Ying Zheng wanted him to kill Han Fei.
Han Fei is Li Si's fellow brother, and Li Si once taught him, Ying Zheng and Meng Yi, if this is the case, he and Ying Zheng will also have to do the gift of a junior when they see Han Fei. In addition, Han Fei had been in and out of the palace before, discussing Legalist academics with Ying Zheng in the palace, Meng Tian had always thought that Han Fei would stay in Qin as an official, and he believed that Ying Zheng would definitely not treat him badly. But Han Fei was desperate, no matter how Yingzheng recruited him, he was unwilling to stay in the Qin State. Ying Zheng didn't want to kill him, but later thought about waiting for Han Fei to return to South Korea, with his knowledge, there will inevitably be a world in South Korea, Qin State and South Korea border, and it is the first barrier for Qin State to move towards the Central Plains. If Han Fei was allowed to make this barrier stronger, then the Qin State would definitely have to pay a huge price.
This is also the reason why Meng Tian did not refuse Ying Zheng, he and Han Fei did not have much intersection, since he escorted Han Fei into Qin, he rarely interacted with him, and occasionally met in the palace, and the two of them only saluted each other. Therefore, for Ying Zheng to say that he wanted to kill Han Fei, Meng Tian would only be a little unbearable, not something difficult to do.
Meng Tian hastily finished lunch and said goodbye to Yingzheng and went home. I didn't see Li Si and his younger brother in the palace today, and Meng Tian felt a little strange. After Ying Zheng got married, although he did not have a pro-government for the time being, several rights in the hands of Xiangguo Lu Buwei were handed back to Ying Zheng. Li Si, Wei Yi and Meng Yi also have their own things to take care of, and they can no longer accompany Ying Zheng in the palace to review the chapter as before.
Meng Tian returned home, Meng Wu was still in Shangdang and did not come back, but before he left the palace, Yingzheng told him that Wang Jian had recovered all the six cities of Shangdang, and he would have to be a teacher in a few days, and he would be able to see his father in a few days.
After returning home and meeting his mother, Meng Tian would go to his yard. In the courtyard, Zi Yanran was watching a plum blossom in the company of the maid, Meng Tian quietly walked behind her, and the maid found out and was sent away by Meng Tian with a wave of her hand. Meng Tian walked behind Zi Yanran, and then grabbed Zi Yanran by the waist and hugged her in her arms.
Zi Yanran was suddenly picked up, and was about to make a move but found that it was her own man who hugged her, and a long-lost smile suddenly appeared on her face, reached out to wrap her arms around Meng Tian's neck, and then buried her face in Meng Tian's chest.
Meng Tian hugged the beauty in his arms, smiled, and then entered the house with Zi Yanran in his arms. It's cold outside, and the room is full of spring.
