Meng Tian can't remember how many years he hasn't seen Gao Yuanli, maybe after sending Han Fei to Qin, and then to His Majesty the Emperor to go down the world with him and destroy the Yan Kingdom, Gao Yanli has disappeared in this world with his friend Jing Ke's sudden death. Despite this, for this heavenly sound, Meng Tian can only think of one person, only Gao Yuanli, only he can play such a sound.

It's just that the one in front of me is covered with scattered hair, and there are a lot of gray strands of hair mixed in between, and although the clothes are clean, it can be seen that it has been worn for a long time. Such an image makes it difficult for Meng Tian to associate with the high-spirited world's No. 1 architect Gao gradually separated from the first time.

Gao Yanli put down the wine bowl that had bottomed out, he freed his hands, parted the long hair blocking his face, and looked at Meng Tian with a pair of eyes open.

"General Meng, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and the general is still so handsome, just like what I saw in the border city of South Korea. ”

Meng Tian poured a bowl of wine for Gao Yanli again, and he said: "But I didn't expect to see Mr. Gao today, with all due respect, it's hard to find a second person in the world who can play such a beautiful sound." ”

Gao Yuanli put down his long hair, and his long hair once again blocked Gao Yuanli's face. "However, didn't the general be attracted by my voice? It can be seen that Gao Yuan's voice is not the first in the world. ”

"Really?" Meng Tian raised an arm, and all the Qin soldiers who entered the hall of the post house retreated. Meng Tian looked at Meng Tianci, who was sitting on the side, and said, "Tianci, you should also go out first, I have something to say to Mr. Gao." ”

"Yes, father. Meng Tianci picked up his sword, looked at the strange man, and walked out of the hall.

Gao Yanli watched Meng Tianci's figure disappear behind the door, and he said to Meng Tian: "Is this little general the son of General Meng? He is very similar to his father, maybe if he is given a few more years of room to grow, he will also be a great general." ”

"Tianci is my sister-in-law, and he will naturally succeed me in charge of the Meng family army in the future. ”

"What I care about is not whether he can become the commander of the Meng family's army, what I care about is whether he will become a person like his father, with the blood of the soldiers of the Six Nations on his hands. Gao gradually turned away from the conversation, and his tone became gradually cold.

Meng Tian didn't expect Gao Yanli to suddenly ask such a question, his hand holding the wine bowl listened to it in the air, and it took a long time before he drank it slowly. "The blood of the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms? Is Mr. Gao reproaching me? Or do you think that the world should be like that, the princes are divided, the world is divided, and the people are struggling to make a living? Or are you Gao gradually leaving from a musician to a saint who wants to rule the world and save people?"

After Meng Tian finished speaking, he continued: "I don't know what others think, and I don't want to know what others think, as for what you think about Gao Yuanli, I am not interested in Meng Tian. I have no objection to my husband saying that my hands are stained with the blood of the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms, but you must understand that this is the trend of the times, and it is not something that I can control alone. ”

"Isn't General Meng the best friend of His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor?" can't you dissuade him from stopping the bloody killing?" asked Gao Yanli.

After listening to Gao Yuanli's words, Meng Tian laughed. "Do you think it's possible? I, Meng Tian, and His Majesty the Emperor are indeed friends, but I am first of all His Majesty's courtiers, and then his Majesty's friends, so I can't make a mistake in this order. Did you ever know that Chang'an Jun Cheng was a thief?"

"The younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor today, I naturally know. ”

"Who is Cheng Chan, he is the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor, but he chose to betray, betrayed his brother, betrayed his ancestors, and was finally imprisoned to death. I can make His Majesty the Emperor change his mind. ”

Gao Yanli continued: "In fact, for the thousands of people in this world, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, they don't care, what they care about is whether they can be fed and have clothes to wear, it's enough. Then why did Yingzheng still build a large number of buildings, forcibly recruit people, and build luxurious palaces and royal tombs for himself? Could it be that all these things were also the actions of an emperor?"

Meng Tian didn't know what Gao Wanli meant, he had been at the border for the past two years, he didn't know much about what happened in Xianyang City, and he didn't know much about the current situation in Qin, so Gao Yuanli's words made Meng Tian feel a little inexplicable.

"What His Majesty the Emperor does is his own business and his right, and we as courtiers naturally cannot interfere arbitrarily. But as for what you are talking about, the construction of the palace and the royal tomb, I don't know any of these things. ”

"Forced conscription, I know a little about this, maybe you should know some too. I plan to build a high wall between the Qin State and the grassland to prevent the Huns from plundering the people of our Qin State. This is not something I can do alone, so I asked His Majesty the Emperor to forcibly recruit people in the country and build the Great Wall. ”

The fact that Meng Tian wants to build the Great Wall has been spread all over the world, maybe the people living in the interior can't feel it, but the people whose ancestors have lived in the border areas are very much in favor of Meng Tian's proposal, if nothing else, because they are attacked by the Huns or horse bandits on the grassland every year, and every time they are harassed, innocent people will be killed. This frontier thousands of miles away, it is impossible to take care of it all by manpower alone, and if the Great Wall is built, then the hooves of the Huns will never step out of the steppe again.

Gao Yanli said to Meng Tian: "The Great Wall matter is indeed more beneficial than disadvantageous, and I have nothing to say about the general's idea. But what I want to ask the general is that in the matter of the Great Wall, 800,000 people are enough to use, why did His Majesty the Emperor requisition a full 1.5 million people, I want to know, where did the remaining 700,000 people go?"

As soon as Gao Yanli finished speaking, Meng Tian was stunned, he didn't know about this matter. He originally thought that the more than 700,000 people who were sent to the frontier to build the Great Wall were already all the people who were recruited, but he didn't expect that the same number of people were also recruited. A whole 1.5 million people, such a huge number, this is not a small matter.

Meng Tian looked at Gao Yuanli, although he couldn't see Gao Yuanli's expression clearly, but Meng Tian's intuition told him that Gao Yuanli was telling the truth.

"I don't know about this, I've been back to Xianyang for nearly two years. This time, from the western border of Qin to Liaodong, I am going to go back to Xianyang, which happened to meet Mr. Gao here today. ”

Gao Yanli drank another bowl of wine, and he said to Meng Tian: "Thank you General Meng for inviting me to drink this wine, to be honest, we can still sit here and drink, maybe many people died quietly while we were drinking, and then buried in the barren mountains and mountains, allowing the wild beasts in the mountains to devour their corpses." Okay, good wine, good food, good building, Gao gradually said these words in my heart today, comfortable!"

Meng Tian didn't have as much emotion as Gao Yuanli, he kept thinking about what Gao Yuanli said, he felt that when he returned to Xianyang this time, maybe a lot of things would happen.

The wine on the table that the post house guy got had been drunk by the two of them, Gao Yanli shook the empty wine jug, and said to Meng Tian: "Okay, General Meng, the wine is not drunk yet, don't open your mouth if you don't speculate." Since Jing Ke died, I rarely drink, and today I thank General Meng for the invitation, and I am about to leave. ”

"Where is the gentleman going?" Meng Tian asked, standing up.

Gao gradually got up, picked up the building standing beside him, and left his seat and walked towards the door of the post house. "I am a mortal, I can't go anywhere, unlike some people, who can only lie there alone when they die, I want to go where I want to go while I still have the strength to walk. ”

Meng Tian stretched out his hand to block Gao Yanli's way, "Sir's voice is rare in the world, His Majesty the Emperor has long wanted to listen to Mr.'s wonderful voice, so if I can meet Mr. this time, I hope that Mr. can go to Xianyang with me to meet His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"What if I don't want to go?"

"This can't be helped, sir, the world is big, all of them are my Great Qin land, and Mr. is my Great Qin people, so naturally I want to play a song for His Majesty the Emperor. I, Meng Tian, am willing to escort my husband to Xianyang, just as I escorted Han Fei back then. ”

Gao gradually stopped, he knew that he couldn't escape, with Meng Tian here, it was more difficult to escape than to ascend to the sky. However, when he went to Xianyang, he could see Emperor Yingzheng, and when Gao Yanli thought of this, a crazy idea began to sprout in his heart.
