Chapter 338: Fusu's Birthday Gift
Seeing that Tu Qin took out a piece of parchment, and this parchment still looked so old, the ministers of Qin State who were watching couldn't help but let out some boos.
Ying Zheng didn't expect that Tu Qin would take out a piece of worn-out parchment, he opened his mouth and asked, "Tu Qin, could this parchment you took out in your hand be the birthday gift that Meng Qing wants to give to me?"
Tu Qin opened his mouth and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, yes, this parchment is indeed a birthday gift that the general wants to present to His Majesty. ”
Parchment is a birthday gift, how can it seem that there is nothing special about this circle of parchment in Tu Qin's hand, if you really want to pick out one that is a little different, that is, the parchment is tied with a golden ribbon, it seems that it is just to highlight the difference of this parchment.
Ying Zheng continued to ask, "In that case, what is written on this parchment?" Ying Zheng believed that Meng Tian would never take a piece of worn-out parchment as a birthday gift for himself, and there would definitely be another mystery in the parchment.
Meng Tian turned to look at Tu Qin and said to him, "Present this letter to Your Majesty, I believe Your Majesty will be very happy to read it." ”
"Yes. Tu Qin listened to his master's words and handed the parchment in his hand to the eunuch who came to him.
The eunuch took the parchment from Tu Qin's hand and respectfully brought it to His Majesty the Emperor. Ying Zheng reached out and took it, untied the golden ribbon on it, and spread the parchment paper on the table in front of him.
After reading all the contents on the parchment, the expression on Ying Zheng's face changed from doubt to joy. Ying Zheng raised his head to look at Meng Tian and Tu Qin who were standing in the aisle in the center of the hall, and said with a smile: "Meng Qing's gift is indeed very delightful, I like it very much, I like it very much." ”
After saying that, Ying Zheng then said to the many ministers of the Qin State in the main hall: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what is written on this parchment?"
All the ministers shook their heads and said they didn't know, including Li Si, except for Meng Tian and Tu Qin, everyone didn't know what was written on the parchment that Tu Qin took out.
Ying Zheng sat on the throne and laughed, the content on the parchment may not be so important to him, but compared to Li Si's jade seal and Meng Yi's Cangjie stone stele, the content on the parchment made Ying Zheng more happy.
"The princess of the Xiongnu has bowed to me, and the grasslands of northern Xinjiang will also become the land of Great Qin in the future, how can I not be happy when such good news comes?" Ying Zheng said. The Hu people actually claimed to be subordinate to themselves. This is something that the previous kings of the Qin State have not done, and now it has happened to him, which makes Yingzheng, who has always been a little happy, so unhappy.
Regarding the matter of Princess Yinting's submission to Daqin, Meng Tian did know it for a long time, because this was also the condition that he had negotiated with Princess Yinting, and at the cost of Daqin's soldiers and horses to help Princess Yinting sweep away the enemies on the grassland, let Princess Yinting submit to Daqin. In this way, Great Qin only needs to dispatch 50,000 soldiers and horses to obtain the territory of tens of thousands of palaces outside the Great Wall, and such feats are not inferior to the sages of the Qin State in the past.
Today's performance after Ying Zheng saw this news was also within the scope of Meng Tian's prediction, after all, compared to the six kingdoms of Shandong, the threat from the northern grasslands has always been the primary target of the major princes in the past. Every time the Xiongnu Hu people go south, wherever the areas occupied by them, it is difficult for the people of the six countries living in them to have any living people, which is why the six countries built the Great Wall to defend against the invasion of the Hu people, and this is also why Meng Tian proposed to Yingzheng to connect the original Great Wall of Qin, Wei, Zhao, and Yan to resist the invasion of the Hu people.
Now that the Great Wall has not yet been built, the Huns on the northern grasslands have already bowed down to the Qin State, although they are not so concerned about the grassland Qin State outside the Great Wall, not to mention the credibility of these Hu people, since they have already opened their mouths to the Qin State first, then the Qin State will naturally not deliberately raise their posture.
The words that came out of the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor naturally could not be false, and Meng Tian and Tu Qin, who were still standing in the center of the main hall in the main hall, all knelt down to Ying Zheng, and said at the same time: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
"Zhong Aiqing is flat, it seems that today is not only a great day for me, but also a day for the whole Great Qin. Ying Zheng said to the kneeling ministers, "It is indeed gratifying to have such good news." Someone!"
"The slave is here. The eunuch who was waiting on the side said.
"Well, add a seat next to Meng Tian, and I will allow Tu Qin to sit in the hall. Ying Zheng said.
Although this is not a particularly heavy reward, but it is a very glorious thing to pass it on, you must know that according to the laws of the Qin State, the officials of the Great Qin who are below the rank of three are not qualified to sit in the palace and drink with Yingzheng. In such a special period of time, Tu Qin was originally just a barnyard general in the Mengjia army, and he was not qualified to sit in the palace in a reasonable way, since His Majesty the Emperor spoke, Tu Qin naturally had the qualifications to sit in the main hall, and he was still behind Meng Tian, which was the most advanced position from His Majesty the Emperor. Perhaps not long after today, the name Tuqin will spread in the streets and alleys of Xianyang City, attracting the attention of countless people.
Tu Qin didn't know what kind of reward this would be for him, but Meng Tian, who was standing in front of him, whispered to him: "Why don't you kneel down and thank Your Majesty Longen." "Bookbag nets
Only then did Tu Qin react, even he didn't know what his reward meant. "Chentu Qin thanked His Majesty for the reward. ”
Tu Qin sat behind his master at the table, and felt the gazes coming from him one after another, which made Tu Qin, who was used to being unrestrained on the grassland, suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.
With the gifts of the Prime Minister and the Meng Tian brothers, His Majesty the Emperor's birthday banquet continued, but the gifts taken out by the many officials who came forward to present the gifts were already a bit ordinary for the three people in front. Even if it is spread out and can sell tens of thousands of taels of gold among the people, it is just a slightly better birthday gift here.
As many ministers presented the gifts they had prepared one by one, a corner of the hall was already full of gifts, and it seemed that there were more and more trends.
All the ministers present in the main hall had already presented the gifts they had prepared for a long time to His Majesty the Emperor, and gradually everyone's eyes focused on the two princes sitting on either side of His Majesty the Emperor. As the eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor, the eldest prince Fusu is also the future helmsman of the Great Qin Empire, and His Majesty the Emperor has allowed Prince Fusu to participate in state affairs over the years, so many people regard Fusu as the future Emperor Majesty. And Fusu himself is also very good, with the teacher Meng Tian by his side, Dun Dun taught, Fusu grew up very quickly, and became more and more favored by Yingzheng.
Compared with his eldest brother with superior congenital conditions, Gongzi Hu Hai originally didn't want to care about these, but with Zhao Gao's 'good temptation', Zhao Gao prefers to realize one of his long-standing dreams compared to ordinary womanizer teammates. Today is Ying Zheng's birthday, a few days ago, Hu Hai in order to save his father's life, because of this injury, Hu Hai was able to be arranged by Ying Zheng to his position today.
How could Fusu not know that everyone was looking at what gifts he had taken out to congratulate his father on his birthday, he sat on the steps and looked at Meng Tian who was sitting at the bottom of the steps.
Meng Tian sensed Fusu's gaze and nodded at him. Fusu put his mind at ease, he did prepare a lot of gifts for his father, but then he happened to hear that the gifts that Hu Hai was going to prepare were exactly the same as his own, so he gave up the gifts he had prepared at the beginning. However, the birthday period is imminent, and Fusu wants to collect other treasures to celebrate his father's birthday, but the gifts he attracts are not very good for him.
After Meng Tian learned about it, he saw that half of the gifts he had prepared were given to Fusu, and he believed that after Fusu's gifts were taken out, there would never be a second voice in the entire hall.
Fusu stood up, bent down and clenched his fists to his father, and said, "Father, today is my father's birthday, and my son has also prepared a gift for my father, and I also ask my father to smile!"
"Oh, what kind of gift is it? Come on, quickly bring the gift that Fusu prepared for me. ”
Fusu hurriedly waved his hand and said to his father: "Father, this gift from Erchen is not a treasure like a jade seal, but Erchen feels that it is the right time to dedicate him to his father today." ”
Yingzheng said to Fusu: "Okay, don't sell it to me anymore, and quickly present your gifts." ”
Fusu bent down to Yingzheng and said, "Yes!" and then waved to a eunuch standing at the door, asking him to bring the gift he had prepared into the main hall.
The eunuch left the main hall, and after a while he came in again, followed by a man into the hall.
The eunuch led the man into the main hall, led him to a position, and then stepped aside, leaving the man alone in the main hall.
The man was holding an object resembling a long harp in his arms and was dressed in a new white robe. The man had long hair, casually drooping on his cheeks, looking at the man's face, although he had a beard, it could still be seen that the man was not as casual as he seem.
"Father, this is the birthday gift that the sons and daughters dedicate to their father. Fusu saw the man come in and said to Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng looked at the man in the hall, he didn't know this person, and asked suspiciously, "Who is this?"
Fusu replied: "Father, this gentleman is the former number one builder in the world, and Gao is gradually leaving Mr. Gao. Not long ago, Erchen found this person, invited him, and asked him to play a song for his father at his father's birthday banquet. ”
Fusu said Gao Yuanli's name, and the air in the hall seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone looked at Gao Yuanli with a trace of admiration, but also with a trace of fear.
Because Gao Yanli is not only a musician, he also has a friend, a friend who makes His Majesty the Emperor remember it vividly, a friend who can be said to have almost done the most impossible thing in the world, and his friend's name is Jing Ke!
