Chapter Twenty-Nine: Seven Horses
When Zhao Gao was carefully rubbing a piece of beloved jade jue in his hand, his subordinates, the dead soldiers of the net, were in his mansion to report the latest information.
All the city's information about Yingziyi.
"The fourteenth prince Yingziyi built a five-car city on the border of Longxi, and in February, there were 800 Hu people attached. In March, in the city of Xianyang, a trading company called the Linglong Chamber of Commerce was opened, and our people suspected that it was related to the Fourteenth Prince. ”
"Linglong Trading Company?" Zhao Gao's voice sounded, he put down the jade jue in his hand, and picked up the wine bottle on the desk, which was glowing with blood-red lustre. Zhao Gao didn't drink it, and asked his subordinates: "Did Luo Wang spy on it?" ”
The dead soldier who knelt on the ground bowed his head and said, "Their management method is very strict, and it is difficult for our people to get in. Even if two or three people mixed in, they disappeared in the end. ”
"Interesting, interesting." Zhao Gao took a sip slightly, as if he was enjoying the wonderful taste of the wine bottle. "How does this trading company work?"
"In the past two months, they have purchased a large number of Shu brocade, silk, ironware, bronze mirrors and other items."
"Oh? Since the dark is not good, there is no light coming. Have any of our people under Pinghuai Ling come to investigate? ”
"Our people have been there and found some problems, but they have all been suppressed by the people above."
"Above?"
"It's from the Wang family." The subordinate replied honestly.
The Wang family? Which royal family? Of course, it is the clansman of Wang Qian, the first general of the current Great Qin.
"Strange, strange, what kind of ability does that Ying Ziyi have, he can actually say that he can move Wang Jian and his family to help him." Zhao Gao drank all the wine in the wine bottle, but his face was full of doubts.
You must know that Wang Jian and his family have made outstanding achievements, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the first generals of the Qin State, but even the Mengwu clan is slightly inferior to them.
With the eloquence of King Qin Yingzheng, he can naturally accommodate people like Wang Qian. But if Yingzheng is not afraid of him at all, it is impossible. After all, there is an example of Wu Anjun Bai Qi in the past, Wang Jian is strict in governing the family, never openly interferes in court politics, and remains neutral among the princes.
Although Xianyang's Pinghuai Order's surname is Wang, Wang Jian usually strictly controls him, allowing him to enforce the law impartially and avoid falling into the truth. This time, he openly interfered, if it was not for Wang Qian's approval, he Zhao Gao would not believe it. This has violated Wang Qian's consistent principle.
"What about them along the way?" Zhao Gao's meaning is very clear, if you can't start in Xianyang City, then you can do it on the way to escort the goods.
"No, my subordinates have sent two groups of people to rob and kill their caravans, but they have not succeeded."
"Why is that?"
"Their caravans often followed the army to remote places, and they were escorted. We checked, and these escorts were all private soldiers of the Meng family and the Li family. ”
"Are these old gangsters crazy? is blatantly favoring Yingziyi like this? After Zhao Gao said it, he turned to joy, he understood that Ying Zheng could also know the things that the net was enough to detect. Since this is the case, then Yingzheng's reaction is debatable, he, the king, is very taboo about internal and external communication. He didn't know why the gang of soldiers went crazy, but this matter could not be used by him.
Zhao Gao is a person who is good at conspiracy, and he understands that if he wants to destroy an intact artifact, he must start from the cracks little by little. This is true even between flesh and bone. What's more, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the emperor's family.
"CRRC Mansion Order, the king asked you to go to the palace?"
The subordinates said, Zhao Gao was also surprised, is there anything urgent? The CRRC government ordered the seal to be in charge of the letter, and all documents had to be stamped by his subordinates before they could be issued, which was humble and powerful.
When Zhao Gao came to the palace of King Qin, there were already people waiting in the palace, and he was considered late.
Li Si, Feng Quji, and other Wenchen, Wang Qian, Meng Wu and other military generals, Fusu, Changping Jun and other clan secretaries are all listed on the left and right.
Between the halls, there was also a black horse with a thin head and a high neck and slender limbs, as well as two people leading the horses.
Zhao Gao walked to his place and leaned over to confess. Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaling that there was nothing to do, and quickly focused his attention on the black horse in front of him.
"So, this horse was tamed by Yingziyi near Wuche City?" Ying Zheng asked a young man with red lips and white teeth next to the black horse.
That young man was Li Ergou, who was ordered by Ying Ziyi to present the BMW brought back by the golden fat man from Dawan to King Qin. Ying Ziyi got this horse three months ago, but the fat man wanted to hide it from people during the transportation, and made the horse thin and long, so naturally it could not be dedicated to the king of Qin. Fortunately, among the eight hundred Hu people, there is no shortage of masters who raise horses, and after raising them for three months, this sweaty horse has regained its original divine steed.
"Childe got this BMW near the five-car city. It can travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred at night, and when its horses run, its sweat is like blood, which is quite peculiar. The son is strange, and the villain is specially ordered to sacrifice it to the king. Li Ergou is articulate.
The hall was silent.
"A thousand miles in a day, eight hundred in a night." Zhao Gao bowed to the side, and muttered these words softly, looking at the meaning.
"How's this going, you say?" Ying Zheng's subordinates discussed this matter and what to discuss, which was naturally a reward for Ying Ziyi.
"The minister thinks that the son's dedication to the BMW is really commendable for filial piety and should be rewarded." The first to come out was the usually low-key Wang Qian. After that, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, Li Xin and other generals also came out one by one and expressed their approval.
Li Si, Feng Qujian and other Wenchen stood aside and did not express their position. Gongzi Fusu just wanted to get out of the train, but was stopped by Changping Jun beside him.
"The widow heard that Ying Ziyi ordered a total of eight horses to be brought into the royal capital this time, and the remaining seven horses were given to you." Brother Zheng said softly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
The so-called you are, of course, the famous generals of the Qin State who knelt on the ground at this time to ask for merit for Yingziyi.
Zhao Gao finally understood, the Wang family, the Meng family, the Li family, and most of the military families of the Qin State were helping Ying Ziyi for what? Because of seven horses. Zhao Gao disdainful in his heart, just for the sake of seven horses, these old coarse people do this kind of thing that makes Yingzheng taboo?
Zhao Gao is not a soldier, so naturally he will not understand the value of a good horse to the generals. In Wang Qian, the military general of Mengwu, there is no shortage of gold, silver, wealth, beauty and fame. If you want to bribe them, you can only match their preferences. In the era of cold weapons, what is the most important thing for a martial artist? Steed. Horse lovers are like life, but they are a common characteristic of today's Qin military generals.
Yingziyi and the rest of the Wusun horses can travel five or six hundred miles a day. Although it is not as good as the sweaty horse in the palace, it is also a rare horse that is hard to find, and it is the only good horse seen in the world.
"The fourteenth prince is a public heart, and the king should be even more rewarded." Seeing that all the generals below were silent, Li Ergou said at this time. In fact, no matter what the generals say at the moment, it is wrong, and only Li Ergou, who is an outsider, can relieve them, which is also the purpose of Ying Ziyi sending him.
"Oh?" A small horse herd dared to relieve the siege of the generals in this big hall, and Yingzheng became interested.
"The villain built a five-car city with the fourteenth son, and the population lacked grain and grass funds. Childe got those eight good horses by chance, and he wanted to sell them all to relieve the pain of lack of funds. However, Gongzi later thought that if Great Qin wanted to destroy the Six Kingdoms and enter the Central Plains, how could he do it without good horses? Therefore these eight horses were presented to the king and to the generals of the palace. Gongzi once said that all the generals in the palace are the pillars of the Great Qin, and the king is an unprecedented king. The famous general of the saint is matched with the BMW, just like the hero is matched with the beauty, and the world is happy. ”
Silence, the silence where the pins fall can be heard. As Li Ergou finished speaking, His Royal Highness's ministers were all waiting for King Qin's opinion, and to be honest, they didn't know whether it was good or not.
"Good!" Ying Zheng's expression was happy, and he smiled: "What a joy in the world!" ”
Everyone was surprised, King Qin, who usually didn't smile, actually laughed, it seems that this sycophant is in the right place. But Fusu tightened his sleeves at the moment, because he suddenly found that no matter how hard he tried, his father had never smiled at him.
"Spread the decree, Yingziyi sacrificed the horse and made meritorious contributions, and sealed Anxijun. The fief is from the west of the five-car city, and it is allowed to take it for itself. The widow and his three thousand soldiers and horses, and a number of grain and grass. Another 20,000 men were transferred to his fiefdoms. ”
"That's too much, isn't it?" It was not without such muttering among the ministers.
The ministers in the palace who had agreed to exile Ying Ziyi were silent at the moment. Changpingjun lowered his eyelids and his face was gloomy. Zhao Gao was in a flurry in his heart, and his hands in the wide-sleeved robe tightly grabbed the inner shirt.
They understood that Ying Zheng did this to give a warning to everyone present.
Who is the king of this Great Qin! Who is the lord of the world! Don't think you'll be able to fool him by doing a little trick under him!
