After Linzi executed Hou Sheng, the matter of taking stock of the treasury of Qi was also coming to an end. After waiting for Wang Ben, who came to replace him, Meng Tian was ready to lead the Meng family army back to Xianyang.

"Virtuous nephew, you can rest assured about the affairs in the Qi Kingdom, with me, there will be no chaos here. Wang Ben and Meng Tian rode side by side at the front of the Meng family's army, and he came to see Meng Tian off.

"Uncle Wang, what you said. With you, what do I have to worry about, Qi does not need Chu State, after the surrender of the King of Qi, the only remaining 100,000 troops in Qi have all been absorbed by our army, and the remaining cities are nothing more than some Confucian children insisting, Uncle Wang must not do a big thing of swordsmanship. The king has just won the world, and at this time, he wants to calm down the prejudice of the people of the world against my Qin State, and Meng Tian hopes that Uncle Wang will act cautiously. Meng Tian told Wang Ben what he thought in his heart, which was also what Wang Chan said to him, which gave him some inspiration.

Wang Ben nodded, "You are right, when I was separated from my father, he also said similar things to me. You can rest assured that you can go back to Xianyang, I am here. ”

Meng Tian snorted, and after walking not far away, he suddenly said: "Uncle Wang, Grandpa Wang passed the handsome position to me, do you have anything to say to me in your heart?" ”

"Tian'er, why do you ask that?" Wang Ben heard Meng Tian talk about this, and he naturally complained in his heart that his father proposed to Yingzheng to hand over the handsome position to Meng Tian's own junior, but did not hand it over to him. But later, Wang Jian said something to him, and Wang Ben was relieved.

Asked from Meng Tian's mouth today, Wang Ben said calmly: "Father's vision is never wrong, since he has decided to pass on the position to you, he naturally has his reasons." Tian'er, your grandfather and my father, your father and me, they are all friendships that have lived their lives on the battlefield, you and Meng Yi and Wang Li, I have always regarded you two brothers as my own children. Now that your grandfather and parents have left you, I am glad that you two brothers have come to where they are today. So don't ask this kind of thing in the future, we are a family, and we are all the king's courtiers, as long as it is for the good of Daqin, the position of Dashuai can be given to anyone, what do you say?"

Uncle Wang's words made Meng Tian a little ashamed, Grandpa Wang was already about to be disarmed and returned to the field, so Meng Tian still needs to ask Uncle Wang for more advice on the battlefield in the future. Meng Tian rode on horseback and said to Wang Benji.

Wang Ben looked at this excellent junior who could be said to have grown up by himself, and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, after I finish the matter here, you and my uncle and nephew will see you in Xianyang City." ”

"Okay, then I will entertain Uncle Wang with the wine of the Western Regions. ”

Meng Tian took 150,000 troops on the road, from Linzi to Xianyang, 150,000 troops plus grain and grass, baggage, and the treasures in the treasury of Qi that were escorted to Xianyang City in the army, and had to march for nearly a month and a half along the way. Fortunately, all along this road are the cities of the Qin State, and everywhere he goes, there are local garrison generals or county guards who come out to greet Meng Tian. After being delayed along the way, it took Meng Tian nearly two months to return to Xianyang City.

When they arrived outside Xianyang City, the army would definitely not be able to enter the city, so the army was still led by Xue Bin and brought back to the military camp of the Mengjia army.

After nearly a year, Meng Tian finally returned to Xianyang City, the three of them rode three horses and looked at the Xianyang City in front of them, which was almost a big change, if the three Ren didn't see the plaque of Xianyang City hanging on the high city gate tower, they really couldn't believe that the city gate in front of them, which was almost twice as large as before, was the gate of Xianyang City.

The three of them rode into the city, only to find that the changes in Xianyang City were greater than the changes in the city gate that they had just seen. Meng Tian and the three of them entered the city from the east gate of Xianyang City, and entering the east gate was a wide road, from which they could march all the way to the gate of the palace of King Qin. And there is a rule on this road, no one is allowed to ride a horse on this road unless he is a doctor or above. Fortunately, Meng Tian and the three people beside Meng Li Du Hui didn't have to care about this rule, but the three of them didn't run wildly, but just rode slowly so as not to disturb the people on this road.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, the palace was almost a big change, compared to the previous palace gate, the current gate is much more spacious and more magnificent. The deputy commander of the forbidden army at the gate of the palace has changed, except for Zhang Han, who continued to be his commander of the forbidden army, the other three deputy commanders all went to serve in the army, and the new deputy commander was personally trained by Zhang Han, and they are also more familiar with Meng Tian.

"Gao Shen greeted Meng Shuai. "On duty at the gate of the palace today is Zhang Han's disciple, named Gao Shen, who is not a few years younger than Meng Tian, but Meng Tian and his master are brothers, so Gao Shen still has to make a big salute when he sees Meng Tian.

"Meng Shuai?" Meng Tian was a little difficult to adapt to the name he called himself in Gao Shen's mouth, "Who gave this name?" 000 literature

Gao Shen scratched his head, and he said: "In the past, when General Wang Jian was here, everyone called him Wang Shuai, and now the king wants to hand over the handsome position to you, isn't that Meng Shuai?"

Although the words were reasonable, they still sounded weird, causing Meng Li and Du Hui to laugh secretly behind Meng Tian.

After saying a few words to Gao Shen, Meng Tian took the two into the palace. After entering the palace, the three of them saw that there was a high platform being built in the palace, almost five or six zhang high, and many people were working under the supervision of the forbidden army.

The three of them did not stay, and went directly to the hall to meet Yingzheng.

"Chen Mengtian. ”

"Minister's courtesy. ”

"Chen Duhui. ”

"Meet the king. ”

Ying Zheng was reviewing today's recital, and when he saw Meng Tian coming back, he was very happy and asked the three of them to stand up. "The three Aiqing, this time they destroyed the Qi country for the widow, it can be said that they have worked hard, come and give them a seat. ”

Ying Zheng sat on the throne and reviewed the folds, while listening to Meng Tian talk about the affairs of Qi State, and from time to time praised two sentences about the combat bravery of the Meng family's army. After Ying Zheng finished reviewing the chapter, Meng Li and Du Hui knew that they could come here with Meng Tian's light, otherwise how could they be qualified to sit here with the identities of the two of them, so they got up and said goodbye to Ying Zheng. Yingzheng didn't keep them, rewarded them with a lot of things, and added the title, so he let the two of them leave.

There are only two people left in the palace, Ying Zheng and Meng Tian. Ying Zheng stepped down from the throne and said to Meng Tian: "Meng Qing, you come with the widow." ”

Meng Tian followed Ying Zheng to another hall, where there were many acquaintances, including Li Si, the left prime minister of Great Qin, and Wang Xuan, the right prime minister, Yu Shi Dafu Wei Yu, Yao Jia, and his younger brother Meng Yi, but all of them sat here as civil officials. Seeing Ying Zheng and Meng Tian coming in, everyone quickly stood up and saluted Ying Zheng, and then greeted Meng Tian again.

Ying Zheng sat in his seat and said to everyone: "The widow has brought you here today to discuss a matter. ”

"The widow is insignificant, raising troops to punish riots, fortunately thanks to the protection of the ancestors of the temple, the six countries are innocent, and there is a great determination in the world today. Today, the Qin State is no longer a prince, but a country under heaven, and the widow decided not to change the name, but set up another emperor name to pass on to future generations. ”

Ying Zheng's idea is that if he has become the world of Qin today, can he have a title of monarch that matches the strength of Qin today without changing his name, instead of defining his status by the name of a prince of the Zhou Dynasty.

Meng Tian didn't understand this kind of thing, so he didn't interject, and let Li Si and the others wait for these people who have read the classics and classics to discuss.

Ying Zheng used to be Li Si's student, how could Li Si not know about Ying Zheng's thoughts? After Li Si discussed with Wei Yi and the others next to him, he said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, in the past, there were five emperors who were thousands of miles away from the marquis, and the princes were either in court or not, and the Son of Heaven could not control them. Now His Majesty rebelled against the soldiers, punished the thieves, pacified the world, the sea is a county, and the laws and regulations are unified, which has not been tasted since ancient times, but it is beyond the reach of the five emperors. The ministers would like to discuss with the doctor, saying, 'In ancient times, there were emperors, emperors of the earth, and emperors of Thailand, among which the emperor of Thailand was the most expensive. 'The ministers and others are called "Emperor of Thailand", the order is the system, the order is the edict, and the Son of Heaven calls himself "I". ”
