On the tenth day of Meng Tian's return to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, the wedding of King Yingzheng of Qin was finally held as scheduled. For a time, the entire Xianyang City was lit up everywhere, all the hotel drinks were half price, and the Xianyang City was overcrowded in just half a month, and even the envoys of the Western Regions set up tents outside Xianyang City to live in the Huhu people and the Western Regions.

In addition to the envoys of the Chu State, the Qi State, the Yan State, the Wei State, the Zhao State and the Han State, as well as some of the small vassals of the Zhou Dynasty who lived among these major princes, all sent envoys to Xianyang City to congratulate them, and the status of the Qin State was still above the other vassal states, and no one in the world did not admire Qin.

Since the lord of Chu County, Mi Fang'er, moved into the palace of the Qin Dynasty, because the new palace built for him has not yet been completed, so Ying Zheng postponed the wedding for a few days, and within these days, the Qin court was exempted from the early dynasty, and all affairs were handed over to the Xiangguo Lü Buwei and Li Si of the imperial history and the Taifu to deal with together, and the Mengjia Meng Yi awarded the position of doctor, and also shared government affairs with Lü Buwei and Li Si. Lü Buwei was naturally full of dissatisfaction when he got the news, Li Si had made his subordinates proficient in knowledge, and it was reasonable to be in charge of the state affairs of the Qin State with him, how could that kid of the Meng family, He De, be able to compete with him in a dignified state?

Although this is a small episode in the politics of the Qin State, in this special season, the officials from all over the Qin State who came to Xianyang City to meet the Qin King Yingzheng smelled a different atmosphere: the king and the Xiangguo are finally about to start fighting for power. Thinking of this, for the sake of their future promotions, everyone began to make a choice between Qin Wang Yingzheng and Xiangguo Lü Buwei in order to seek a way out.

Meng Tian, who had already returned home, went to Meng's house on the second day after returning home, and at the same time brought several imperial doctors into Meng's mansion.

Meng Tian learned that Ying Zheng came to visit in person, so he hurriedly got dressed and went down to the ground to salute, but Ying Zheng held him up and helped him back to the bed.

Ying Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Meng Tian, who had seen beads of sweat on his forehead at this time because of his actions just now, and said with concern: "Meng Qing's trip is for the widow and Fang'er's injury, and Meng Qing doesn't need to salute when he sees the widow in the future." After finishing speaking, he ordered the internal officials accompanying him to record it.

Meng Tian lay on the bed, looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Thank you for your great kindness, the king is the lord of my Qin country, and the minister is a military general, so he naturally wants to go to the soup for the king, this injury is nothing, even if the minister loses his life this time, he will not regret it." ”

Ying Zheng raised his arm and patted Meng Tian's shoulder, watching this return from himself to the Qin State

The palace, a good friend and good brother who has been following him, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, "Meng Qing, the widow almost assassinated you, and you and Yanran's children also died because of the widow's affairs, and the widow can't stand you." Say, whatever reward you want, the widow will give it to you, even if the widow can't give it to you now, it should be given to you in the future. ”

"The minister does not dare to ask for the king's reward for the minister, the minister is just a military general, I only hope that the king will forge ahead in the future, the minister is willing to gallop the territory under the king, and the rest are useless to the minister. Meng Tian said to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng nodded, then stood up and said to Meng Tian's parents in the house, Zi Yanran, Meng Yi, and Li Si, Wei Yi and others who accompanied him: "Today, the widow issued a decree, from now on, no matter what kind of crime the people of the Meng family commit, except for the two crimes of treason and murder, the widow can be spared death, and in the future, Meng Qing can make his own decision on the battlefield, and there is no need to report to the widow in advance." ”

Li Si and Wei Yi glanced at each other, and saw a hint of unusual meaning in each other's eyes. Any crime committed by the people of the Meng family can be exempted from capital crimes, so in addition to treason and murder of the king, Meng Tian can do whatever he wants in Qin, even if he kills a minister in power one day, then the king can also be exempted from capital crimes. This right is simply too great. The two looked at each other and smiled, and took the will with everyone in the room.

Ten days passed quickly, and in these ten days, after the treatment of the imperial doctor in the palace of King Qin and various precious medicinal materials, Meng Tian's injuries quickly healed, but he could not practice martial arts and horseback riding for a short time, which also gave Meng Tian a short time to accompany Zi Yanran at home.

The day before, Ying Zheng promulgated a decree: the whole country will be exempted from taxes for one year, and all the prisoners in the cells will be released and reunited with their families, except for the death row prisoners. After the promulgation, the Qin people and merchants in all parts of the Qin State thanked the Qin King for his kindness.

In the palace of the king of Qin, all the portals are hung with red silk, and the newly built palace in the palace is also brightly lit during the day, illuminating the entire hall very brilliantly. King Yingzheng of Qin and Queen Mi Fang'er held a wedding ceremony in this newly built Ganquan Palace.

The civil and military officials of the Qin State were above the civil and military officials, and all the officials above the military generals and barnyard generals sat in the palace and on both sides of the main road outside the palace to watch the ceremony.

The Queen Mother Zhao Ji did not come on the grounds of physical discomfort, because the Queen Mother was assassinated at night in the old palace of Yongcheng a few days ago, and she was fortunate to be around

The waiter rescued him, and the queen mother was safe and sound, but she was scared out of illness by the gangsters. Although Ying Zheng didn't know what was going on, he ordered a group of royal relatives in Yongcheng to reprimand, and then ordered people to recruit soldiers on the spot in Yongcheng to strengthen the defense of the old palace.

However, after this incident, the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji sent a will to Ying Zheng, which stated that she would ask for a reward for the sacrifice of the Savior, and let Ying Zheng make him a marquis, reward food, and divide the fief. Ying Zheng consulted this will with Lü Buwei and Li Si Mengyi, and after Lü Buwei chose to agree, Li Si and Meng Yi had no reason to object, saving the Queen Mother was indeed meritorious, and there was no shortage of people in the history of the Qin State who were rewarded with titles and fiefs for meritorious service in the interior, and they naturally had no reason to object.

Ying Zheng saw that everyone did not object, for his mother Zhao Ji, although the relationship between mother and son was not good, but Ying Zheng was not good at returning his mother's will, so he simply agreed, and was named Changxin Hou, according to the will of the Queen Mother, Hexi County and Taiyuan County as fiefs.

The wedding was held as usual, from the entrance of the palace to the entrance of the Ganquan Palace, all rolled out on the red carpet, and every ten steps on both sides stood a palace maid wearing a crimson coat. After the hour, a group of ministers of the palace of the king of Qin entered through the gate of the palace once, and then sat down in the Ganquan Palace, waiting for the arrival of the king of Qin Yingzheng and the queen Mi Fang'er.

Near noon, when all the ministers were drinking water and chatting and bored, a trumpet sounded, and then the palace musicians played joy, and everyone knew that the wedding was about to begin, so they tidied up their appearances and waited for the arrival of Yingzheng.

The gate of the palace slowly brought in a huge chariot carried by ninety-nine eighty-one wrestlers, which is a symbol of the ninety-nine to one imperial chariot, which was originally enjoyed by Zhou Tianzi, but after the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by Yingzheng's grandfather, this chariot was moved from Zhou Wangji to the Qin Palace.

Entering the gate of Ganquan Palace, the wrestlers slowly put the chariot on the ground, and then the maids accompanying the two sides stepped forward to lift the curtains, Qin Wang Yingzheng and Mi Fang'er stood up inside, and then the two walked out hand in hand.

Seeing the arrival of the king and the queen, the ministers of civil and military affairs and the envoys of various countries present bowed to the ground and fell to the ground: "The ministers (foreign ministers) pay a visit to the king and the queen." ”

Ying Zheng and Qi Fang'er each raised an arm, and Ying Zheng said loudly: "The Qing's family is flat." ”

After many courtiers and envoys got up, Ying Zheng held one of Mi Fang'er's hands, and the two walked into the hall together.
