Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Three Surnames of the Huns, the Wolf King of the North
(PS group number 376279280, group 2 group number 446758253)
The white clouds are long, outside the main hall of the Qin Palace, on the towering white jade platform. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Emperor Qin Yingzheng stood with his sword, and by his side was the helmsman of today's Legalism, Prime Minister Li Si.
Li Si was respected by the Qin Emperor, which was not comparable to other ministers. After today's next dynasty, Yingzheng left Li Si alone. This kind of treatment is something that few Qin Chen can enjoy. But Li Si, there is such a time every three days.
Between Emperor Qin and his courtiers, there was little personal affection, even Li Si was no exception. Li Si was a little strange, in the past, Emperor Qin left himself behind, and he stayed in the main hall to discuss the state of the country. But this time, I really don't know why Emperor Qin suddenly became interested and had to go out of the palace?
Under the white jade stage, the tigers are lined up on both sides, and they are towering and immovable for decades. These people are all children of the good family in Guanzhong, and their backgrounds can be traced back to more than ten generations, and they are hardcore supporters of the empire and loyal. With their presence and effectiveness, the empire has the strength and capital to conquer the world. The guards in the Qin Palace are only loyal to the Qin Emperor, and even Ying Ziyi can't interfere.
Ying Zheng retracted his gaze, looked at Li Si on the side, and asked, "How are things going on with the Mo family?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's 50,000 troops have arrived near the Organ City." Li Si said honestly.
Ying Ziyi's 50,000 troops can be said to be his private soldiers in a sense, because both the generals and the soldiers are recruited by themselves, and even the salaries of these soldiers are paid by Ying Ziyi himself. You know, maintaining an army of about 50,000 people requires an astronomical amount of wealth. What's more, the soldiers under Ying Ziyi are different from ordinary imperial soldiers. They do not return to the fields during the spring planting and autumn harvest, and they have been completely detached from agricultural production, which makes the cost even greater. Since the establishment of Yingziyi's Yulin Army, many people and forces inside and outside the empire have looked at the Yulin military camp in Guanzhong. This group of Yulin troops is still training in addition to training on weekdays, or occasionally going north to Hudi and taking some small tribes of Hu people to open a knife. To maintain such a huge army, it can be seen how much wealth the Prince of Qin gained after destroying the Yue Clan, dominating the Western Regions, and opening the Silk Road.
It's an eye-popping fortune, and many people in the empire want a piece of it. However, the vast land west of Wuche City is the territory of Prince Qin, and no one is allowed to interfere without Ying Ziyi's nod.
Within the empire, Wang, Li, Meng, Xin and other military families were more or less involved. The strange thing is that Emperor Qin has always taken a tacit attitude towards this. This makes Li Si particularly strange.
"Your Majesty, the rebellion of the Mo family has been surrounded by His Royal Highness the Prince's Yulin Legion at this moment, and I am afraid that it will be impossible to escape."
"I recently heard a rumor that the giant son of the Mo family has secretly worked for Fusu. Do you know about this? Emperor Qin's eyes were not on Li Si's body, but the seemingly frivolous words alone had already made Li Si break out in a cold sweat behind his back.
Everyone in the world said that Li Si was deeply trusted and favored by the Qin Emperor. But who knows the danger behind this favor?
Li Si lowered his head and said indifferently: "The minister has never heard of it. However, His Royal Highness the eldest son is benevolent, but sometimes his heart is too soft, and he doesn't notice it for a while, and it is possible to be deceived by those Jianghu forces with ulterior motives. ”
Although Li Si did not form a political alliance with Fusu, there was a faint intention to spy on the Qin Emperor in his words.
How much weight does this eldest prince have in Emperor Qin's heart, this is what Li Si must know.
"Didn't you notice it for a while?" Emperor Qin said slowly: "If Fusu can tame these rivers and lakes forces, it will not be a good thing. ”
Li Si was shocked in his heart, there was too much meaning in these ordinary words. Li Si's heart was stirred up by Emperor Qin's words.
"Where is Ying Ziyi now?" Emperor Qin didn't continue, but asked about Ying Ziyi's whereabouts.
"The whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the ministers can't find out, since Anyi. The whole dynasty has lost the trace of His Royal Highness the Prince. However, the 50,000 Yulin army went to the city according to the intention of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also be nearby. "As the prince of a country, it doesn't matter if he is not in the imperial capital all the year round, and he still disappears from time to time. Relying on this article alone, if Brother Zheng wants to abolish the prince, the Manchu dynasty can't say anything.
"Really?" Brother Zheng said lightly. is not only the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, but also Brother Zheng himself, and he doesn't know where Ying Ziyi is?
Li Si raised his head slightly and glanced at Brother Zheng. From the side of his face, Brother Zheng seems to be smiling.
The Manchu Dynasty was already deeply dissatisfied with the prince's immoral behavior, and Brother Zheng was also insightful. Whether it is sincerely for the sake of the empire's society or with ulterior motives, none of these people dare to participate in this matter. Because above the bright side, Ying Ziyi went to the East China Sea to ask for the elixir of immortality for Emperor Qin.
Who can say a word? Spying on the ruler with a minister's position, although everyone is doing this kind of rebellious thing, everyone can't say it. Unspoken rules, once opened, will be in an uproar.
"Regardless of the form of Kanto, what is the form of Beihu?" Brother Zheng asked.
"The report sent from the border, and the intelligence analysis sent by the secret son buried in Beihu under the minister. The Xiongnu had already overcome the turmoil after the death of the enemy chieftain Man, and gradually formed a certain stable situation. Although after the death of Touman, the power of the Xiongnu gradually decreased, and the eastern Hu and the west subdued many small tribes that were originally loyal to the Xiongnu. However, the Xiongnu themselves did not fall into disintegration, and the three noble surnames within the Xiongnu gradually reached an agreement and maintained the stability of the Xiongnu. ”
"Huyan, Lan, and Subu." Emperor Qin said the noble surnames of these three Huns lightly, but Li Si's head was lowered.
Li Si understood that Emperor Qin had one or even several sets of intelligence systems in his hands. Possession of information from all parts of the world was the basis of the king's rule. However, in this world, there are many unruly forces in the rivers and lakes, as well as barbarians who often harass and harass. These places are not where official forces can meddle at will, and they can't interfere. Therefore, various intelligence forces under Emperor Qin came into being.
"As the world often says, in troubled times, heroes emerge. It seems that there is nothing wrong with this point being applied to this gang of barbarians. Ying Ziyi captured and killed Touman outside Wuche City, and the Xiongnu did not decline because of this, but these three noble surnames rose because of this. To some extent, the Xiongnu became more united with the outside world. ”
"But it's also temporary." Lees said. Nanyi Beihu, now that the land of Baiyue has been conquered by the empire, the current saint has always been very unhappy with Beihu entrenched near the Great Wall. Emperor Qin's words made Li Si have to pay attention, is this eloquent emperor going to make a move to Beihu? "The Xiongnu were originally a tribal alliance, and in the hands of Touman, although their internal system has changed to a great extent, but without a strong ruler, sooner or later it will be divided. At present, the three noble surnames within the Xiongnu can be united, but it is only because there is Donghu in the east, and the two sides in the west and south are my Great Qin. ”
Qin Huang nodded, he understood what Li Si meant. It is nothing more than to slow down strategically, observe the changes within the Xiongnu, and then decide how to do it.
"Li Si, there's something I want to tell you."
"Listen respectfully." Li Si said respectfully.
The blue sky and white clouds, a gust of wind blowing slowly, is very pleasant. But Emperor Qin's next words made Li Siru fall into the cold winter.
"I'm going to tour the east. After being in this Xianyang City for a long time, I still want to see what my Great Qin is like outside the Kanto region? Emperor Qin said leisurely. It's like the kind of leisurely feeling when a white-collar worker who has been in the workplace for a long time quits his boring job and wants to go out on a trip.
But can white-collar workers compare with emperors? In other words, can a generation of emperors be like modern ordinary white-collar workers, say they don't do it, or change jobs if they are not happy with their work?
Li Si was shocked. The emperor is a body, tied to the Jiangshan Sheji. This is not just a sycophant thing that the ancient Wenchen came up with. Although the emperor at this moment has not yet been deified like later generations, his body is related to countless people who serve this empire, large and small. What's more, although the Kanto region is calm at the moment, there is an undercurrent inside. Li Si knew that because of the relationship between the peasant family, Fusu had gathered a lot of forces among the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the Hundred Schools of Princes who were enemies of the Qin State in the past. However, this is only on the surface after all. Secretly, I don't know how many people hate the Qin State and hate Yingzheng. In the past, before Emperor Qin left the palace gate, the assassins who wanted to assassinate him had already dyed the palace gate of the Qin Palace. What's more, Emperor Qin wants to tour eastward, and along the way, it is unpredictable, and some of these remnants have the opportunity to find a start.
"Your Majesty, no. Along the way, the danger is unpredictable. What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the imperial capital at the moment, if His Majesty is on his eastern tour, who will be in charge of the country? Li Si was in a hurry, and there were inevitably omissions in his words.
However, Brother Zheng didn't mind at all, and said slowly: "After Yingziyi destroyed the Mo family, I will recruit him back." If he doesn't, that's fine. With Feng Quji and others in Xianyang, there should be no mistakes in this pass. ”
"Your Majesty, although the Kanto region is calm at the moment, the undercurrent inside is turbulent, and it is really not the time to tour the east." Li Si persuaded hard, and he almost knelt down.
Li Si lowered his head, but he didn't pay attention, and Brother Zheng had a mischievous smile on his face. He took a step forward lightly and said to the group of tigers and patrolling soldiers under the imperial steps: "I want to patrol the east and watch the splendid rivers and mountains of Great Qin." The prime minister said that in this part of my country, thieves are everywhere, and persuade me not to tour east. What do you think? ”
Brother Zheng's voice was very loud, and the thousands of soldiers in the square in front of the palace could probably hear it.
"The ministers are willing to follow His Majesty the First Emperor on a tour of the east, but there is a small person who comes and cuts off his head with a sword." Lang Zhongling, who was nearby, knelt down and shouted loudly.
"The ministers are willing to follow His Majesty the First Emperor on a tour of the east, but there is a small person who comes and cuts off his head with a sword." Hundreds of tigers in the square knelt down in an instant, and the cries hit like a tsunami.
"Hahahaha!" Emperor Qin laughed: "Get up!" ”
"Your Majesty Emperor Xie Shi, I am willing to serve my Great Qin and His Majesty the Emperor until I die." A group of tiger ben stood up, and slammed the ground with a long fight in their hands, and the momentum was monstrous for a while.
Emperor Qin turned around at this time, with a smile on his face: "How is it?" Lis, what else do you want to say? ”
Li Si's brain hurt a little at this moment, but he knew that this matter could not be stopped after all, so he said: "Your Majesty wants to tour the east, and the matter is big." Related matters along the way. May you allow the ministers to consult with the ministers before they report to Your Majesty? ”
"There you go!" Qin Huang nodded. He also knew that the emperor was on patrol, and the related matters were very complicated, and they could not be prepared in a month or two.
…….
The northern desert is full of green grass and frost. It is an extremely inhospitable land with little inhabitation. Standing between heaven and earth, the mountains and rivers are bleak, and the boundaries between heaven and earth have become blurred.
It's a desperate place with very little water, very little food, and only a very small number of people to survive.
Not far from the only large lake in the area, on the top of the hill, a young man with strong muscles was half-kneeling on the ground. In front of him was a large, gray-haired wolf.
If you are a hunter who has lived in this desolate land for a long time, you will probably be able to recognize this gray-haired wolf as the feared gray-feathered wolf king nearby.
In the dark, he controls the wolves to attack all kinds of prey, whether it is the tribe or the animals of the grassland. Life has never been able to survive the wolf king's fierce eyes.
The hordes of wolves roared with fright, and even the most ferocious beasts could only flee in ashes. There are quite a few people who want to hunt this wolf king. Because without the guidance of the wolf king, the power of the wolf pack will inevitably weaken. However, this wolf king is very cunning, usually he always stays in the wolf pack, and no one can do anything to him. None of the people who wanted to succeed in the hero survived, and they all became the food in the belly of the wolf king.
But now, this invincible wolf king was tied to his limbs and thrown in front of the young man.
The young man had a lot of shocking scars on his body, and a few of them were just formed when he was fighting with the wolf king. Among the Hu people in the north, the scars on the body are not ugly, but on the contrary, they represent how powerful the man really is. The women among the Hu people are often willing to marry such brave men.
In the middle of the day, the young man picked up the dagger beside him and cut several arteries of the wolf king with a single sword. Then, blood sprayed, and the boy lifted the wolf king and lifted it above his head, allowing the blood to scatter on his body.
Until the blood on this wolf king's body dried up, the boy also became a bloody man.
"Very good, Mao Dun, you should have completed the first step and become the strongest warrior of my Great Huns."
The sound of vicissitudes sounded, and a gray-haired old man appeared in front of the young man. (To be continued.) )
