It rained lightly in the imperial city of Xianyang, and the people in the imperial city all hid in the house to avoid the rain, only the nine huge statues cast in bronze in front of the palace gate were motionless, and these huge bronze statues were all cast by the weapons of the six countries that were destroyed, symbolizing the land of Kyushu in the Central Plains. The raindrops hit the bronze statue www.biquge.info the pen %fun %pavilion, making a sound, like the bronze statue emitting a burst of wailing, and gradually the rain became heavier and heavier, and the bronze statue also emitted a piercing roar like tearing, surrounding the entire imperial city, resounding in the sky.

In the pavilion not far away, a group of female musicians dressed in tulle about seventeen or eighteen years old were playing music, and the leisurely sound of the piano moved slowly, blocking out the loud roar outside, as if this was another world, and everything outside had nothing to do with it. At this time, the first emperor Ying Zheng was holding a stunning beauty, gulping down the liquor in front of him. The girl curled up tightly in his arms like a kitten, and gently twisted her plump buttocks from time to time.

"Your Majesty, you are as strong as a god," the girl said with a smile. Although he is over forty years old, Ying Zheng is still quite confident in his body, and he is busy with government affairs every day, but he has to take time to practice the technique of striking for an hour.

"Harder", he ordered in a dignified tone, and when the girl heard the words, her body trembled slightly, and she quickly twisted her waist vigorously. Ying Zheng is very satisfied with this girl, this is what his second son Hu Hai dedicated to him a few days ago, the daughter of the Yan clan, after the fall of the Yan Kingdom, she was included in the teaching workshop along with other noble women of the dead country. Hmph, the ancient surname Ji, hundreds of years ago, when King Zhou moved east, the ancestors of Qin also led a horse to King Ping. Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but pinch the girl's small breasts with his big thick hand, and the girl moaned softly and writhed harder.

However, at this time, he was not in the mood, and he had just received a secret report from Zhao Gao, and a meteorite fell to the palace of Shuoyang, the old royal city, and the words "Dead Qin, Hu Ye" were engraved on the meteorite. This is disturbing news, the barbarians in the north have actually existed for thousands of years, legend has it that when the Yellow Emperor fought Chiyou, the northern barbarians led their troops south to help Chiyou, hundreds of years ago the dog Rong invaded the city of Zhou Wangcheng to make Beijing, and now the Xiongnu are also in danger of the northern border of the empire at any time. For the people of the Central Plains, these Hu people are like ghosts, they are the descendants of wolves, as fierce as hungry wolves, and as cunning as foxes, always when the prey is at its weakest, suddenly launch a fatal blow, and when the hunter arrives, he quietly escapes. Therefore, in the past, the states of Qin, Zhao, and Yan all adopted a general defense strategy against the northern barbarians, building tall towers, and continuous city walls to keep these barbarians out.

An attendant bowed down and walked to Ying Zheng's side, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lord Li Si, General Hu Ben, Lord Meng Tian and Zhonglang Ling Zhao Gao have arrived", Ying Zheng bowed slightly and pushed away the girl in his arms. "Call them in," the Emperor whispered. The girl hurriedly arranged his robe for him and left, and the attendants on both sides removed the wine utensils and replaced them with Mengshan tea that had just been paid tribute to Shudi, and the musicians slowly left after saluting.

After a while, Li Si, Meng Tian, and Zhao Gao walked in quickly, Li Si respectfully bowed to the emperor, although Meng Tian did not wear armor, he still performed a one-legged and half-kneeling military salute, Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, and performed a court salute of three bows and nine bows. If you had followed Ying Zheng in the past and served around the day long, of course you didn't have to be so polite. But now as one of the Nine Qings, in charge of the Zhonglang Order of the court, and following Ying Zheng all the year round, he knows the emperor's thoughts.

After Zhao Gao's salute was finished, Ying Zheng waved them and sat down, and said with a slight smile, "This is not a court, and you don't have to be formal." He paused, changed his serious tone and continued, This is this morning's urgent report, you all take a look. Prime Minister Li Si spread out the wooden tablet and immediately saw the deceased Qin, Hu Ye, a few lines. I couldn't help frowning. In fact, he had already learned the news, but he had never believed in these strange words, so he did not immediately present it to the emperor. He glanced at Zhao Gao slightly, Zhao Gao was carefully reading the chapter, hum, it really looked like it, it must be Your Majesty told by this eunuch. Since Zhao Gao served as Zhonglang Ling, he has been secretly cultivating his own intelligence network, and there is a tendency to overhead the factory guard directly under the prime minister, is this Zhao Gao's meaning, or the emperor's meaning, thinking of this, Li Si unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, does the emperor not trust me. But then again, in recent years, this majesty has become more and more convinced of the nonsense of these immortal Taoist Yin and Yang families, and a few years ago, he actually listened to a charlatan named Xu Fu and sent three thousand boys and women to Penglai, an immortal island, to find the elixir of life. Alas, it seems that our wise majesty cannot escape the desires of human nature.

"Xiangguo", Li Si was thinking, and the shout of winning Zheng woke him up. "Your Majesty," Li Sili hurriedly replied. "What does Xiangguo think about this matter", Ying Zhengdao. "Your Majesty", Li Si straightened his body slightly, "Since ancient times, there have been clouds, and you don't mess with strange forces." In the eyes of the ministers, this is very likely to be a false omen fabricated by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, using the words of gods and monsters in an attempt to disturb His Majesty. When it has been decided today, the four seas surrendered, I think we should follow the example of the ancient sages of the sages, open up the way of speech, lightly pay for the meager endowment, and recuperate with the people. As for the Hu people, they are just remote barbarians and lack education. The minister heard that the Hu people were in turmoil, and there were thousands of tribes in the north, and His Majesty could send powerful envoys to bribe them with heavy money, divide and rule, and over time, the Hu people would kill each other and break themselves. ”

It's the Confucian Shengwang Avenue again, Ying Zheng was quite displeased, and pointed to Zhao Gao and said, "Zhao Qing, tell me." Zhao Gao is browsing the music in detail, secretly observing this Li Si and Meng Tian for a long time, this Li Si must have known the news a long time ago, and dared not report it, hey, I will tell Your Majesty if I have the opportunity. A few days ago, there were ministers who impeached Li Si, saying that Li Si traveled like a prince, and he actually took five carriages of the same color, and the Son of Heaven only took six horses when he traveled, I don't know if His Majesty knows about this, hey.

"Your Majesty, old slave, I have not read any great truth, but I know that honest people do not associate with cunning people, wise people do not help their enemies, and virtuous gentlemen disdain bribery. Now that the heavens have sent down the foreshadowing in advance, it must be His Majesty's holy wisdom that has moved the heavens, and my king should follow the way of heaven and deal with it well, if the heavens have made a foreshadowing, and do not take precautions and be vigilant, it will not be equivalent to the eunuch marrying a wife and deceiving himself. ”

Ying Zheng was very interested in Zhao Gao's analogy, "Yes, it is a eunuch marrying a wife." Ying Zheng said with a smile. Meng Tian on the side finally spoke, "Junshang", the Meng family has been a vassal of the winner for hundreds of years, and the patriarch and nobleman of the Qin State, so Meng Tian follows the tradition as long as he is in private, calling Yingzheng the king. Call Your Majesty, aren't you estranged, I can be like you foreign ministers, Meng Tian thought to himself.

"Meng Tian, you say." Win the political road. "Those northern barbarians have always been underbeaten, and the former ministers have also stayed in the Great Wall of the North, which is called a nest fire, these miscellaneous pieces always come to rob, and run away when they rob, our infantry can't catch up with them, and they can't shoot them. Now, the six countries have been beaten down, just free to clean up this gang of barbarians, I Lao Meng want to bring the dog head of the Hun Shan Yu to you as a urinal."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I keep the urine and wait for your urinal", and then said with a straight face, "Okay, the military heart is available, my Great Qin Iron Armor is invincible in the world." In fact, since the unification of the Seven Kingdoms, except for Nanyue and Southwest Yi, which still need to use troops, the entire empire has been basically peaceful. Military aristocrats like Meng Tian suddenly became less important. The honor and status of soldiers come from war, and not fighting is equivalent to drinking the northwest wind, and there is nothing but an empty title. After the establishment of the empire, it also relied more and more on those civil servants and foreign ministers, and most of the county orders in various places were elected by civilian officials. An old nobleman like Meng Tian is okay, after all, he has a thick foundation, and he can get by by relying on the past gifts, but if he doesn't fight, he is just waiting to sit and eat nothing. But other old Qin people are not the same, if they don't fight, they will have no military merits, and their basic life is not settled, the Qin people are still martial, since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and has been relying on military merit to establish the country, and has been fighting for many years, most of the old Qin people have become professional soldiers, killing ****, raising their heads for money, that is the living state and life pursuit of the old Qin people, now call them home to farm, who has any thoughts, in the Qin country, only the slaves and slaves are honest to farm.

Li Si pondered for a moment, and he understood that this battle was definitely going to be won, hey, anyway, the war is a matter for the army, and if he loses, he will have Meng Tian, a reckless man, to stand up, why should he make the emperor unhappy about this. He straightened out the court clothes and said slowly, "Your Majesty, the minister's previous intention was to use troops carefully, such as today's initial decision, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have not been completely calmed down, and the rogues in various places are in turmoil from time to time. ”，

This is on the point, Ying Zheng thought to himself. These old nobles of the Six Kingdoms are always trying to restore their homeland, a few years ago on the northern tour, a Korean named Zhang Liang was still assassinated, wanted for several years and has not been caught until now, a bunch of rice buckets, Ying Zheng secretly looked at Zhao Gao. Li Si was secretly happy when he saw that the words were right for the emperor's thoughts, and he continued, "The minister just heard His Majesty's teachings, thought about it, and secretly thought that the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu was indeed the best way to deal with the current situation. ”

What a quick change of words, my Lord Li, Zhao Gao thought to himself. Li Sidao "Now that my Great Qin soldiers are in full swing, the soldiers use their lives, such as a war to determine the northern border, not only can calm the northern troubles, seize the Hetao area controlled by the Xiongnu, but also suppress the domestic rebel forces, so that they dare not act rashly, and if someone really takes the opportunity to make trouble, it is just right for them to surface and annihilate together."

"What a killing three birds with one stone," Ying Zheng was finally happy. "Okay, I have made up my mind, send troops to the Huns", and won the political case. Li Si and the other three hurriedly got up and saluted, and shouted "Long live". Suddenly, a trace of imperceptible cold light flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes, and he said charmingly, "Your Majesty, the old slave heard that there was a holy monarch in ancient times, and the enemy was defeated when he heard the wind. If a prince goes out on behalf of His Majesty, Hu Lu will definitely be defeated without a fight. Ying Zheng's eyes flashed, "That's right, well, let Fusu take me on the Northern Expedition, let him exercise, you can't be a prince in the palace every day, Meng Tian will let him follow you." I appointed you as a general, the whole army of 300,000, after the autumn harvest, immediately the Northern Expedition. Then he took out a wooden square box from his arms, took out a translucent jade tiger talisman, and handed it to Meng Tian.

"No", Meng Tian straightened his chest and replied impassionedly. In a blink of an eye, he stared at Zhao Gao again, thinking, sycophant, give Lao Tzu such a hot potato, not to mention who should listen to on the battlefield, in case the prince has a mistake, this is not a crime. One day I'm going to slaughter you steer. Li Si on the side also secretly said to himself, he used to underestimate this Zhao Gao, and quietly sent a prison to Meng Tian, it seems that His Majesty is old, and no one can believe it.

Li Si and the three walked outside the palace together and said goodbye to each other. The rain became heavier and heavier, mixed with rolling thunder, looking at the backs of these two people in the distance, Zhao Gao opened the oil umbrella and muttered, "Let's go down, go down a little bigger, wash this bloody palace, and wash away this corpse-filled country." The ancestors of Zhao must be crying, no, don't cry, I, Zhao Gao, will definitely avenge you! The nine bronze men next to the hall seemed to hear Zhao Gao's inner cry, and they all looked sideways at him, their eyes full of tears and flashing with fine light. A young chamberlain walked over to Zhao Gao quickly and whispered in a low voice, "Childe, the news has come out, Da Shan Yu will entertain them well."
