Chapter 310: Another apprentice

The banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion continued, and after the servants had finished serving the food and drinks of the Prime Minister and the General, they consciously withdrew from the hall.

Meng Tian and Li Si had already drunk several cups, and while they were drunk with the signature dish of Xiangyu, Meng Tian drank a few glasses, and his face was a little ruddy.

"The wine at the Prime Minister's house tastes really good, much better than the spirits I drank in Northern Xinjiang. Meng Tian said to Li Si with a cup.

Li Si raised his wine glass and responded to Meng Tian: "That's natural, this wine was rewarded by His Majesty when he became emperor, and the original quantity was not much, I guess it shouldn't be your share." ”

"I'm not a lover of wine, but of course the more wine, the better, don't you say, Prime Minister?"

"Hahaha, that's a good thing, as the so-called heroes should drink fine wine, of course, such wine has to be drunk with heroes like General Meng to have a taste. With that, the two of them drank again.

Meng Tian smacked his lips, and he said to Li Si: "Of course, His Majesty the Emperor's wine is rare in the world, but I have a fine wine from the Western Regions at home, I don't know if the Prime Minister has tasted it?"

"Western Regions wine?" Li Si asked, "What kind of wine is this?" Could it be that this Western Regions wine is different from my Great Qin wine?"

Meng Tian laughed, "Of course, there is a difference in skin and hair between the people of the Western Regions and my Qin people, and this wine is naturally different." Prime Minister, please take a look. ”

Meng Tian picked up a plate of dishes in front of him, it was a plate of beef, and he didn't know how the cook cooked it. Meng Tian picked up a piece of beef in between, there was still a little blood on it, and the color was as bright red as when it was cut from the beef just now.

"Do you see this piece of meat? The color of the Western Regions wine is like this piece of beef, red, although the taste is a little bitter at first, but after tasting it slowly, it feels sweet and aftertaste. Tu Qin's father, Mu Lituo, was an expert in brewing fine wine in the Western Regions, and he now lives in Xianyang City, and Meng Tian helped him open another shop, and with the support of the Meng family, the business is quite prosperous.

Xianyang City is not suitable for growing grapes, which are the raw materials for making wine from the Western Regions, so there is not much wine left in Mu Lituo's family, which is only for the Meng family and his family to taste.

Li Si was a little impatient by Meng Tian's words. "Why, the general has such a Western Regions wine at home?"

Meng Tian smiled and nodded, although Mu Lituo's fine wine stock was not much, there were still some in his house.

Meng Tian waved his hand and called in a subordinate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, "You go and tell my family generals, let them go home and get some fine wine from the Western Regions, and bring it here for me and the Prime Minister to drink." ”

The subordinate retreated as promised and went out to inform the Mengfu generals who came with Meng Tian.

"Next month is Your Majesty's birthday, and it is also my birthday, but I will have a big banquet at home, take out all the fine wine at home and enjoy it with everyone, and invite the Prime Minister to come at that time. Meng Tian said to Li Si.

"Well, I'll go to the feast then. ”

"Father, I heard that General Meng of the Meng Family Army is coming to the house, why don't you tell me, Father?" a man's voice came from outside the hall.

As soon as the words fell, a young man walked in, he was wearing the armor of a Qin army lieutenant and carrying a Qin army-style long sword at his waist, and he looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

Li Si saw the man come in, and hurriedly pointed at him and introduced him to Meng Tian

"Oh, General Meng, this is the dog Li You. You'er, this is General Meng Tianmeng, whom you have admired for a long time. ”

Li You turned to look at Meng Tian with admiration on his face. Li You knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists to Meng Tian and said, "Li You, the commander of the garrison of Xianyang City in Great Qin, meet General Meng Tian." ”

Li Si has a child, Meng Tian has known about this for a long time, but when he saw it today, he didn't expect that Li Si's son had grown so big, and Li Si actually let him join the army.

Meng Tian stood up, walked up to Li You and helped him up from the ground. Meng Tian looked at Li You, then turned to Li Si and said, "Prime Minister, is this Li You?" I saw him when he was born, but I didn't expect that after so many years, this child has grown so big, what a talent. ”

Li Si's eyes when he looked at his son were full of love for his children. He said to Meng Tian: "Where, this kid is not successful, not like me at all, he has never had a good impression of this way of Confucius and Mencius, and he has been dancing with knives and sticks since he was sensible, which is quite like the general." ”

"Father!" Li You said, he couldn't tolerate his father saying that he was not at all in front of his idol.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. General Meng is in front of you today, if you have anything to ask the general, just say hello, of course, as long as General Meng is willing to talk to you. Otherwise, I will feast General Meng today, and you will not lose my face. Lees said.

Meng Tian smiled and said to the father and son: "It seems that I can't escape today, Prime Minister, I like Li You's child very much, it's okay." Li You, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask me, as long as I can answer you, I will answer you. ”

With excitement on his face, Li You pulled Meng Tian to sit down, and he sat next to Meng Tian.

Soon the Meng family's Western Regions wine was also brought into the hall, Li Si poured a glass for Meng Tian, then poured a glass for his father, returned to Meng Tian and sat down, and secretly poured himself another glass of wine.

Li Si and Li You tasted it, and they were full of praise for the taste of this bright red Western Regions wine that Meng Tian brought.

After three rounds of drinking, at the banquet, Li You asked Meng Tian a lot of things, asked about the time when Meng Tian led the troops to rule the world for His Majesty the Emperor, asked Meng Tian to lead the troops north to fight against the Xiongnu, and Meng Tian almost shot an arrow to kill the Xinling Jun of Wei at Hangu Pass when he was young, and raided the Rongdi Wang's tent and other famous battles of Meng Tian. For this chattering junior, Meng Tian took the trouble to tell them one by one, and Li You was fascinated by Meng Tian and sat blankly.

"General Meng, you see that this kid Li You admires the general so much, why don't you take Li You as an apprentice?" Li Si suddenly asked.

Meng Tian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after listening to Li Si's words. He now has two disciples, the eldest apprentice Tu Qin, who is now leading the troops and Xue Bin to help Princess Yinting dominate the grassland on the grassland. Another disciple is Ying Zheng's eldest son Fusu, this is Ying Zheng's request, he hopes that his eldest son can be like himself, Wenzhi martial arts, so that he can take charge of the Great Qin Empire for him in the future.

Now that he wants to accept another disciple, he is still Li Si's eldest son, does he really have to accept another disciple?

"This ......" Meng Tian looked at Li Si, and then at Li You.

Li Si made a color to his son, Li You understood what his father meant, he picked up the wine glass and knelt in front of Meng Tian, and said, "Disciple Li You, please meet Master." The master is on top, and Li You toasts you

It's over!"

"Ah?!" Before Meng Tian could make up his mind, he saw Li You kneeling in front of him, and he somehow took the glass of wine in Li You's hand.

"Master Xie. In this way, Li You also became Meng Tian's disciple.

His son worshiped Meng Tian as an apprentice, and Li Si was very happy, "General Meng, the old man thanked General Meng." ”

Meng Tian raised his glass and said, "It's okay, since this kid worships me as a teacher, then I will naturally teach him well, and I hope that he will become a talent as soon as possible and serve my Great Qin." ”

The CRRC Mansion Order can be regarded as an official who has no rank among the officials of the Qin State, but has real power in his hands. Although it belongs to the crown of the palace, it can have its own mansion outside the palace, and at this time, Zhao Gao and Zhao Yu are sitting in the hall of the CRRC Mansion.

The hall was brightly lit, and Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Gao with his eyes flickering.

"Big brother, what are you going to do about the treasury? Now that His Majesty has sent Meng Tian to investigate the treasury, will our affairs be revealed?" Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Gao, who was sitting in the center of the hall with his eyes closed, and asked.

Zhao Gao opened his eyes, he sat up straight, and said to Zhao Yu: "I said what are you anxious about, isn't it that Meng Tian hasn't started to check yet?" Besides, the accounts of the treasury are just a bunch of grass, just with Meng Tian's martial arts ability, how long do you think he will be able to find you?"

"But, no matter how long it takes, Meng Tian will always find me, what should I do then, wait for death?" Zhao Yu was a little dissatisfied, Zhao Gao was his brother, and he was able to get to this day thanks to Zhao Gao, although he was dissatisfied with Zhao Gao, Zhao Yu still had to grovel to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao picked the candle flame in front of him with the long nail on the little finger of his five fingers, he brought the little finger to his mouth, and then blew on the remnants of the candle flame on it. "Don't worry, I have my own plans for this. Now do you think that even without you and me, the treasury will really have money left? Don't be kidding, after His Majesty the Emperor became emperor, he would melt the weapons of the six countries to cast bronze figures, which would require money. The construction of the imperial mausoleum requires money, and the construction of the Afang Palace in Lishan requires money. And Meng Tian said that he wanted to build the Great Wall and recruit people, didn't he need money? When he asked about you, you just answered him like this, and I didn't believe that Meng Tian could make money. ”

Zhao Yu suddenly realized, yes, Zhao Gao said these things, which one of them does not need a large amount of gold, silver, money and grain as support, and these money must be taken out of the treasury, so that there is indeed no money left in the treasury, even if he does not fill his pockets from the treasury.

"Good idea, when the time comes, I'll tell Meng Tian like this, see what else he can do? These things are all ordered by His Majesty the Emperor, if he wants to be reasonable, then let him go and talk to His Majesty the Emperor." Zhao Yu looked a little excited, he got up from his seat and said.

"However, we still have to make two plans, this is only one of them, and the safest thing is to make Meng Tian unable to investigate. Zhao Gao said.

"How is this possible, Your Majesty has already issued an order. Zhao Yu said.

Zhao Gao sneered, and he said gloomily: "I heard that Meng Tian went to Li Si's house to drink tonight, and everyone knows that riding a horse after drinking is inevitably in danger of falling off the horse, so ......"

There was a burst of laughter, and then vanished into the night.

The full attendance in February was completed, and I began to return to work, and I may only be able to update one chapter and three thousand words a day in the future, I hope you will continue to support!
