After listening to the report of the officials below on the situation in Yongcheng for a while in the main hall, Ying Zheng saw that the time was almost up, so he drove to the temple not far from the old palace to worship his ancestors.

When I arrived at the Zongmiao and entered the gate of the Zongmiao, King Yingzheng of Qin and his queen knelt three times and knocked nine times according to the rituals, until they went to the main hall dedicated to the ancestors of the Qin State in the Zongmiao. At the top of the main hall, Ying Zheng knelt on the futon, and Queen Mi Fang'er knelt beside him.

First of all, Li Si got up and stood at the door of the main hall of the Zongmiao Temple and read the sacrificial text to the ministers waiting outside the hall: "The thirty-seventh generation of the Great Qin Ying Clan, the queen of the Qi clan, the edict of heaven and earth, the blessings are heavy, and the world is very fortunate." Since the succession of our king, inheriting the will of the previous king, the burden of the people, the two rejections of the enemy's borders, the establishment of the North County and Rongdi, through thousands of miles to the Western Regions. All the people do not take this as a praise, a strong army of millions makes a strong enemy give up, for my Ming Jun, the luck of Great Qin......"

Sprinkled nearly a thousand words, counted the exploits of Yingzheng to ascend the throne, attacked Wei and Han and plundered dozens of places. The second collection of Yiqu is the Qin realm, Libei County, and the pasture is opened. The third is to resist the locust plague, so that the people of Qin State will not have civilians who will starve to death. It took Li Si a night to write, and at this time he read it out in front of many ministers, so that the officials and soldiers present were proud to have a good king.

The lengthy memorial ceremony was completed after a busy morning, and after the ceremony, Yingzheng feasted many clan elders. This banquet can be said to be much bigger than the last one, from the appeasement of the elderly, down to the three-year-old children, all present.

The banquet was still arranged on the main hall of the old palace and continued until the gate of the old palace. Ying Zheng sat on the throne of the main hall and looked out of the palace, but he couldn't see his head at all.

Under the steps of the throne in the palace, Lu Buwei sat in the first seat in the official uniform of Lord Xiangguo, opposite was Yingtong, and then Li Si, Wei Yi and others were below. The wine and food were soon put on the table, the monarchs and ministers were happy, and the banquet was peaceful.

The banquet went on very quickly, firstly, there were not a few dishes on the table, and Ying Zheng did not drink with everyone for a long time, so he led Queen Mi Fang'er to the harem to ask the Queen Mother Zhao Ji for peace. When many courtiers saw Yingzheng leaving, they naturally had no reason to stay longer, and left the old palace after drinking a few glasses of wine.

Lü Buwei sat in the first seat, of course, he couldn't leave at the earliest, and he, Li Si and Wei Yu, the three civil officials who were most familiar with Yingzheng in front of him, accompanied the Ying clan relatives in the main hall to drink, and the three of them did not leave until everyone dispersed.

Ying Zheng and Mi Fang'er left the main hall and went to the palace where the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji lived. In addition to the main hall, soon after the main hall, Meng Tian, who was in charge of guarding the old palace, came over, and Ying Zheng asked Mi Fang'er to go to the mother's harem first to ask for peace, and he would go over later.

Meng Tian watched the queen leave, and then said to Yingzheng: "Your Majesty, Lü Buwei has left Yongcheng. ”

"Oh?" Ying Zheng was a little surprised, he naturally knew the news of his secret return to Yongcheng, and he knew when he arrived in Yongcheng. "Did he go out of the palace or where?"

Meng Tian replied: "He left from a side gate of the old palace, which is very close to the north gate of Yongcheng, so it is more convenient to enter and exit there. I've asked Du Hui to send someone to follow him, but it looks like he's going to his fiefdom. ”

Ying Zheng continued to ask, "Did he stay in the old palace last night or did he go out to see someone again?"

Meng Tian shook his head, "Our people didn't follow

How long did we follow him, because we found that there were a few more subordinates with very good martial arts around us, and it seemed that they had studied the art of assassination and tracking, and the person we photographed and followed was discovered. The carriage stopped at the gate of a house at the north gate of Yongcheng for nearly two hours before leaving. We've also checked that house, yes house. ”

"So no one has seen anyone when they return to Yongcheng this time?" Ying Zheng was a little unconvinced, wasn't he afraid that he would suddenly attack the Queen Mother and let the child in the Queen Mother's womb die?

Meng Tian thought for a while and said to Ying Zheng: "The last general thinks that it should be, after he left the house, he went directly to the palace, calculated the time, and thought that when the king came to meet the queen mother yesterday, he should be in the queen mother's bedroom." ”

Ying Zheng sneered: "What a good one, he actually played these tricks under the nose of the widow, it seems that he has a certain strength in such a short period of time." There must still be manpower in the old palace, you want to find out for the widow during this time, either coercion, or inducement, if it doesn't work, you will kill it, the widow wants to make the old palace of Yongcheng become the old palace of the widow, and any wind and grass here must be known. ”

"The last will obey, and the last will do it immediately. After listening to Meng Tian's report, Ying Zheng left, and Meng Tian also left, and began to arrange the affairs of the old palace.

Just when Ying Zhenghe and his subordinates Meng Tian, Li Si, Wei Yi and others were planning how to get rid of Lü Buweihe, Meng Yi, who was left behind in Xianyang City, sent a military intelligence report from Pegasus.

Meng Tian was patrolling with Zhang Han in the old palace, and at the same time working out how to find out the spies in the old palace, when he was suddenly recalled to the main hall by the people sent by Yingzheng. When Meng Tian arrived in the main hall, he found that Lü Buwei, Li Si and Wei Yi were already here.

Meng Tian found that Ying Zheng's expression was very angry, and thought that Ying Zheng went to ask the Queen Mother for peace just now, and the mother and son turned their faces. Meng Tian stepped forward and clasped his fists and saluted, "What is the king looking for me?"

Ying Zheng didn't speak, took a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and asked the attendant next to him to show it to Meng Tian. Meng Tian took the bamboo slip in the hand of the chamberlain, and after opening it, he realized that he wanted to be crooked, and the bamboo slip said that the six cities of Shangdang County rebelled, killed the generals of Qin State stationed in Shangdang, and then transferred to Zhao State, and tens of thousands of Qin troops originally stationed in Shangdang were also included in the Zhao army, which was equivalent to Qin State losing twice as many troops as Shangdang. It's no wonder that Ying Zheng is so angry, if such a thing happens in any vassal state, the monarch will be very angry.

After reading it, Meng Tian returned the bamboo slips to the inner servant, and then continued to clasp his fists and said to Yingzheng: "The Shangdang defenders have sentenced me to the Qin State, does the king want the last general to lead the troops to the expedition and take back the Shangdang County?"

Lü Buwei naturally didn't want to let Meng Tian have more troops in his hands at this juncture, so he opened his mouth and said: "General Meng, now the king's safety still needs your protection, and there is no need for General Meng and the elite Meng family army under General Meng to go on the expedition. ”

Meng Tian looked at Lu Buwei and said: "Lord Xiangguo is surprised by this, if we can't take back the Shangdang soon, then dozens of counties and towns in my Qin State will be one today, and one tomorrow, and within ten days, I will have one city left in Xianyang City." ”

Lü Buwei looked at Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng seemed to be even more angry when he heard Meng Tian's words. Lu Buwei retorted: "Lord Meng misunderstood the meaning of the original appearance, Shangjun still led the troops to fight at the beginning, but the original appearance didn't think about it

That's what happened today. Shangdang County is important, but the safety of the king is also more important, are you or not?"

Li Si and Wei Yi nodded, and the opinions of the two of them made Meng Tian suddenly speechless, so he had to stand and watch how Ying Zheng arranged.

Ying Zheng's anger calmed down a little, and he spoke: "Shangdang County is located at the junction of Wei State and Zhao State, which is of great significance to the strategic deployment of our Qin State, so Shangdang County cannot afford to lose. What Father Fang said is not bad, Meng Qing, you are not the only general in the widow's Great Qin, this time you will stay by the widow's side. ”

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he turned to Lü Buwei again: "Father Xiang said that Shangdang County was originally fought by Father Xiang, but now that Father Xiang is old, it is naturally impossible for the widow to let Father Xiang lead troops to the battle." Father Xiang can choose one of the military generals of the court, and he will lead the troops to the battle, do you think it is good?"

Lü Buwei pondered for a while, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, the prime minister thinks that there is a best candidate to lead the troops this time. ”

"Oh, which general?"

Lü Buwei replied: "The former party guard general Fan Yuzhi. This person was also one of the generals who followed Benxiang to attack Shangdang, and Benxiang felt that this person was still a little insightful in leading the troops, and he knew the terrain of Shangdang very well, and Benxiang felt that General Fan could be the person who led the troops this time. ”

Ying Zheng asked the other three, "What do you think, three Qing families?"

Li Si said: "General Fan does have some skills, and it is reasonable to hand him over to lead the troops this time." After Li Si finished speaking, Wei Yu also agreed.

Ying Zheng set his eyes on Meng Tian: "Meng Qing, what do you think?"

Although Meng Tian didn't like Lu Buwei, he was never vague about leading troops to fight. "The minister thought that General Fan could lead the troops, but he was ......"

"Just what?" asked Ying Zheng.

Meng Tian said: "It is naturally feasible for General Fan to lead the army, but the general of this crusade against the rebels thinks that he should also send a member of the royal family to go with him. One represents the king's attitude towards Shangdang County, and second, I think the defenders of Shangdang County are definitely unwilling to defect to other countries, and at this time, the king's clansmen appear in front of them, which is equivalent to the king personally leading the troops to the battle, and they will naturally be defeated when they see the king's momentum. ”

Lu Buwei also nodded, and he echoed: "This minister seconded the proposal, and General Meng's plan is feasible." ”

Ying Zheng also felt that what Meng Tian said made sense, so the question was who to send? Ying Zheng had a flash of inspiration in his heart at this time, and he had an excellent candidate, and let him go, regardless of success or failure, it could be regarded as getting rid of a stubborn disease in his heart. It is good to win, but if he loses, it is a dead end whether he comes back or not.

Ying Zheng made up his mind and said, "The widow also thinks that Meng Qing's plan is feasible. Since it is to send the widow's clansmen, then it is necessary to show the majesty of the widow, and at the same time, it is necessary not to lose the face of the widow. The widow has thought of a candidate, I don't know if you agree?"

"I wonder who the king is talking about?"

"That's the widow's brother, Chang'an Juncheng. ”
