。 Resting during the day and galloping at night, Meng Tian spent more than a week completing the road that could have been completed in the previous three days. After more than a week of continuous jet lag and high-intensity marching at night, even Meng Tian, who was a soldier with advanced martial arts, was a little tired. I thought that I would go to Xianyang, and soon met the Nine Emperor Princes of the Great Qin Prison State. Reality slapped Meng Tian, the general, in the face.

Outside the Xianyang Palace, they were told that today was the day of the prison country's vacation, and when Meng Tian asked, "What about tomorrow?" "The soldiers guarding the gate are still on leave, and tomorrow is still on leave. Meng Tian asked unwillingly, "The day after tomorrow, there is always time, right?"

"General, Saturday the day after tomorrow is the day of vacation for the officials of Great Qin. The goalkeeper said apologetically, he wanted to help. He has great respect and admiration for Meng Tian, who has been guarding the Great Qin Frontier, especially their two brothers, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, who led an army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu, and were called the "Imperial Twin Pillars" by the Qin people to protect the Great Qin Frontier, and also inspired many young people in the Qin Dynasty to take them as an example, especially the two brothers who were in the barracks.

"When did the officials of Great Qin have taken vacations, why don't I know, does Great Qin have this rule?" Meng Tian said very unconvincedly, what is going on with the Nine Emperor Princes of the Prison State, how can there be so many vacations, when Your Majesty is here, every day is continuous, and I have never seen Your Majesty give up political affairs and take the initiative to ask for a vacation. It's not just that he is on leave, but it is estimated that officials are also influenced by him.

The hard work he imagined all the way, and the image of the Nine Emperor Princes who worked hard for Daqin every day collapsed. "When will the general be able to see the prison country. Meng Tian gave up the treatment.

"General, the prison country is generally at the end of the end of the day to work, occasionally there is also a time when Banxun comes, the official is half Xun 5 days off for a day, the general is the fastest, you can see His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors on the day after the official vacation, if not, it can only be at the end of Xun. ”

In ancient times, there was no concept of the week, and a month was divided into three days, and one month was ten days.

"No, there are seven days left. ”

"Yes. The guard replied embarrassedly.

Meng Tian had no choice but to return to the inn and wait, but the Xianyang Inn was very unfriendly to him, and after 5 days, this dissatisfaction reached its peak. He has an upper room, a general room for ten people, and all the room fees are also what he has to pay, a new-style inn, an inn made of bricks, glass transparent windows, and delicious meals. Everything is very good, and Meng Tian is also very satisfied, as long as it is not good, it is too expensive. Especially the food, the sergeant, eat a lot. 50 taels of silver flowed out in five days, and his own gold and silver were not discounted, and the paper money consumption of Xianyang citizens was discounted by eight.

Seeing that he didn't have much money left, Meng Tian was anxious, the dignified general of Daqin, he was also a celebrity in Daqin, if he was kicked out of the inn by the shopkeeper because he had no money to pay the rent, and slept on the streets of Xianyang with his own soldiers, he couldn't afford to lose this person. Meng Tian decided to go to the gate of Xianyang Palace to watch and see Youmu and his familiar colleagues, and then he met His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes in advance.

"Pathetic!" the cold wind rushed to Meng Tian's sleeves, and Meng Tian said with a snot. His Majesty took away a large group of key officials, and now Xianyang is in charge of adjutants, and he has not been to Xianyang for seven or eight years, and he does not know a single Daqin official.

One by one, the officials walked out of the Xianyang Palace, from the twilight, to the sunset, and then to the gray place of dusk, Meng Tian, who thought that he had no way out, suddenly saw a figure, and couldn't help crying with joy, unaware of the snot blown out by the cold wind, and strode forward to block it.

Wang Juan stumbled out of Xianyang Palace, exhausted by today's cabinet debates. A member of the Chu family martyred several domestic servants and kept filial piety to his father. This matter has existed since ancient times, and it is not unusual, because the Qin Dynasty was influenced by the ideas of the traitors, this custom has long since disappeared.

The founder of the Mo family proposed the use of frugal burials very early, opposed the ritual of human martyrdom and thick burials, rebelled against Mo into Qin, and also brought this concept to the Qin State. This group of rebels, in fact, they are the Mohist school, the real practitioners, although they have lost, both love and non-attack, and wait for the Mohist to walk the world of action guides, but inherited the Mohist family, Shang Xian Shang Tong, the use of frugal funerals, non-life and other concepts, but also spread them to the entire Qin State, from the king, down to the people.

Shaofu, which has always been an institution controlled by the Mohists, and one of the cabinet members came from Shaofu this year, strongly criticized this kind of martyrdom and demanded strict punishment, but an official influenced by Confucianism disagreed, and his filial piety was commendable, and he did not agree to be severely punished. Several other cabinet members, on both sides, mediated on their own for a whole day, did not eat lunch, exhausted or fruitless. Suddenly, a Kongwu man appeared, also wearing a beast robe, and walked towards him with a runny nose.

"What is he going to do," Wang Juan was a little flustered, seeing that the guards at the gate of Xianyang Palace were still there, and straightened up again.

"Prime Minister Wang, I can be regarded as having found an acquaintance. Meng Tian was overjoyed and waited at the gate of Xianyang Palace for a day.

"Are you?" Wang Juan said a little unrecognizable.

"I, Meng Tian, why don't you know me, you also taught me two days to learn. ”

"Really, it's a bit like, you're really Meng Tian, why are you only here now?" Wang Juan was very surprised, "Shouldn't you have arrived early!" "Now the officials of the Autumn Harvest Daqin are too busy, busy collecting fields, busy counting the harvest, busy building granaries, and counting all the harvests in the locality, summarizing them to Xianyang, and the officials below are busy with their feet on the ground. I forgot to pay attention to Meng Tian, why I haven't arrived yet, where I have gone, and when I will arrive.

Meng Tian: "............" Meng Tian didn't know how to reply to the old man's words for a while. Could it be that he was blocked on the official road by Qianshou for a full week?

Wang Juan solved Meng Tian's distress and arranged him and his personal guards into the mansion that Ying Zicheng gave him. "Lord Wang, your mansion is luxurious. This glazed tile, the palace does not have it. ”

"General Meng, if you like it, you can have it, I think His Highness should be willing to sell you one. ”

"Sell me one," this made Meng Tian unable to react, isn't it all a gift, the king rewards his subordinates.

"Yes, my building was originally sold for 100 gold, and His Royal Highness insisted on selling it to me, General Meng knew that I had a mansion in Xianyang. It is said that all officials are peddling, and it is not possible to buy it. According to General Meng's official position, it should also be a house at this price. ”

"100 gold, hiss" Meng Tian said in surprise. Even more surprised according to Wang Juan's words, he also wants to buy, he now he doesn't even know if he can go back to the entanglement, only 20 taels of silver left, his family has been in the bitter cold, barren land of the border production and life, in recent years only the raw land has been cultivated a little output, this hundred gold, can not be taken out. 100 gold, even if the Great Qin nobles who were born in Xianyang take it out once, it will hurt their muscles and bones.

"Hurry up, I've seen this His Royal Highness the Prison State, hurry up and leave Xianyang, this is a gold-swallowing beast. Especially if you can't meet this Nine Emperor Prince in private, in case he sells real estate to him. ”

"I don't know, can I see it tomorrow, His Highness the Ninth Prison State?" Meng Tian asked Wang Juan.

"It should be possible, His Royal Highness has always praised General Meng for resisting the Huns and recovering the Great Northwest, and he has long wanted to see it. "I'll send someone. Ask Your Highness. ”
