The sunset shines obliquely, outside the imperial palace, the clouds are brilliant and the colors are mottled. 【】

It was dusk, and at the last moment before this darkness descended on the earth, the golden crow gradually fell, hidden behind the sun, and burst into the brightest light. In the Imperial Palace, the light has gradually dimmed.

The emperor was alone from the throne, browsing the government affairs on the bamboo slips.

The black hair invades the frost, the majesty of the emperor is still the same, and a pair of sharp eyes are staring at the bamboo slips, about the information about the land of Henan.

Meng Tian did a good job, but in two years, the land of Henan has begun to have a scale, and the order is still there. Not only have thousands of hectares of land been cultivated, but 44 cities have also been built on the banks of the Yellow River. The Great Wall built along Yinshan Mountain, and the defensive measures to prevent the Hu people from going north have also been built one by one.

After the initial turmoil and unrest, the order of Northland County and Kuhara County has also returned to stability. The displaced people who had migrated in the past also adapted to local life and began to carry out productive activities.

However, what this emperor cares about the most is the horse breeding industry that has risen in the north and Jiuyuan. The horses raised in the two counties are now sufficient for the needs of the entire Guanzhong. The war horses it provided for the army were also first-class in the entire empire's military system.

The emperor's eyes patrolled the map on the imperial case, the territory of the empire is vast, since the loss of Zhou Tianzi, there is no country in this land that can compare to today's Great Qin.

It's just a huge territory, and it's so difficult to govern.

The empire has now accumulated more wealth than any other country in hundreds of years, and the gold and silver artifacts hidden in the Xianyang Palace, silk and satin, are piled up one room after another. The food that the empire had piled up was also abundant. For example, the Ao Cang next to Xingyang, the grain stored in it is enough for its people for more than ten years. Abundant products, from south to north, from east to west, all over the world is overwhelmed with treasures and curiosities. In the market pavilion of the imperial capital today, the items displayed were unimaginable ten years ago.

Within the four seas, the six countries bowed their heads, and a hundred schools of thought paused. The world is so big, the Huns are far away, and the empire is invincible.

It's just that this seemingly stable and huge empire is underneath it.

Emperor Qin understood that the empire was exhausted by building the Chi Road, the Great Wall, the same cars and the same books, and a series of measures.

The Seven Kingdoms have been in war for many years, and the people are miserable! The Qin State ruled the world, and it should have rested and recuperated and supported the people. Qin Huang understood such a simple truth, but he couldn't do it.

If you don't build the Chi Road, how can the counties of the empire be connected? If the Great Wall is not built, the border will be a hunting ground for the Hu people to come and go freely! Without the unification of writing and currency, how can an empire govern the world?

Literary and martial arts, there are only a few words in the history books. It's just that the hardships to be paid in it are so cruel.

When the empire's martial arts spread all over the world, the surrounding barbarians were terrified by the powerful army of the empire. Galloping roads throughout the empire were completed, and bandits in the counties disappeared.

One by one, powerful enemies are eliminated. In the city of Xianyang, the sunset was shining, and when the emperor looked at his empire, he suddenly found that perhaps the biggest enemy of the empire was from within the empire.

Exhaustion from the hearts of the people!

Emperor Qin was never afraid of any opponent. Whether he is a master master among the hundred schools of thought, or a royal palace relative among the countries, or those barbarian Hu Di who are clamoring.

But this one. This generation of emperors who swept Liuhe and looked at the world had no way!

The tiredness of people's hearts needs time to be soothed.

And the current emperor, what he lacks the most is time!

Two rows of attendants entered the main hall and lit the lanterns on both sides of the hall.

Lights accumulate and illuminate the entire hall.

Emperor Qin raised his head, and the chamberlain on the side said, "Your Majesty, the two prime ministers are here." ”

"Pass it on!"

The head of the hundred officials, the respect of the three princes.

The two prime ministers of the empire, Li Si and Feng Quji, walked into the main hall, stopped ten steps before the throne, and saluted: "The ministers greet Your Majesty." ”

"Let's get flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two prime ministers stood up, and Emperor Qin spoke: "I summoned you to tell you something. I am ready to make another tour of the East to inspect the entire Empire.

"Eastern Tour?"

The two high-ranking prime ministers frowned, and Li Si asked, "Your Majesty, where do you want to inspect?" ”

"Go to Jiuzhi Mountain, pass the meeting, watch the South China Sea, and then turn north, go to Jiuyuan City. This time, I want to inspect the construction of the Chi Road. Qin Huang said slowly.

"Your Ministers obey!" Li Si, Feng Qujian said.

"Dare to ask, who is Your Majesty going to take with you this time?" Feng said tentatively.

As always, Li Si accompanied him and stayed in Xianyang. Among the princes, Xu Changzi Fusu accompanied. Emperor Qin indifferently commanded.

…….

"Is that so?"

The lights dimmed, Zhao Gao sat alone in the court, listening to the news of Emperor Qin's upcoming eastward tour of the chamberlain, and nodded slightly.

His gloomy face was now full of thick gloom that could not be erased, and he waved his hand at the attendant who had fallen down, and said, "Go down!" ”

When the waiter was gone, Zhao Gao picked up the wine bottle, and drank the bright red wine in the wine bottle with the quiet night.

Zhao Gao was thinking about it, thinking about the impact of Emperor Qin's eastern tour.

The net was snatched away, and Zhao Gao lost his sharpest minions, and as a last resort, he could only rely on the rest of the forces within the empire.

In the empire, inside and outside the government, the authority of the eldest prince is very great. However, in this bottomless whirlpool of power, the Ying Ziyi who is far away from the clouds is, in Zhao Gao's opinion, his biggest enemy.

If Zhao Gao wants to realize his ambitions, Yingziyi is a mountain that cannot be bypassed. And with Zhao Gao's strength, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to want to pull this mountain.

Therefore, he needs to rely on the power of Gongzi Fusu.

"Long Xiu!"

A cloth-clothed swordsman flashed and knelt beside Zhao Gao.

"Your Excellency!"

"You go and bring a word to the eighteenth son."

Long Xiu stepped forward, and Zhao Gao whispered a few words in his ear.

Long Xiu nodded, took two steps back, and disappeared into the court.

The wine in the pot was mellow, Zhao Gao slowly poured a glass, a gloomy smile that could not be erased at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Ying Ziyi, I want to see who wins and who loses in the end!" ”

…….

Jiujiang County.

Deep in the mountains, the camp of the Xiang clan was still standing, and with the misty drizzle, all the Xiang private soldiers withdrew from the school field and hid in their side houses.

The foothills are remote and food is scarce. In order to meet the needs of these hundreds of people on weekdays, the Xiang family opened up a hundred acres of land in the mountains. It's just that this meager harvest alone is far from being able to meet the needs of these hundreds of people.

Therefore, in normal times, in addition to daily training, these hundreds of Chu soldiers often go into the deep mountains, wade through rivers, and fish and hunt for a living.

It's just fishing and hunting for a living, and the harvest is far less stable than the fields. Hungry and full, it all depends on luck, but these old pawns have no complaints.

Recently, Xiang Shaoyu, the young master of the Xiang clan, took forty or fifty of his men into the mountains to hunt, and he gained a lot.

Thanks to him, these old pawns of the Chu State and the private soldiers of the Xiang clan can drink a bowl of fragrant broth at this moment when the drizzle is falling and the spring is cold.

The green mountains are lush, and although the scenery here cannot be regarded as poor mountains and bad waters, it is definitely not considered to be a beautiful scenery.

The rain fell down the thatch on the eaves and fell low to the ground, Xiang Shaoyu stood tall and slender, fighting under the eaves, drinking steaming broth.

The broth that had just come out of the pot was still steaming, Xiang Shaoyu took a sip slightly, compared to those delicacies, although this soup was not very delicious, but with the rich taste on the tip of the tongue, it could make Xiang Shaoyu linger for a long time.

They were driven here by the Qin army, and the mountains were bitter, but they were used to patience.

"Shaoyu."

With long fiery red hair and a cloth coat, Long He walked over from the side, waved the rain on his body, and said, "News from Xianyang." ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

Long He leaned over and whispered a few words in Xiang Shaoyu's ear.

Xiang Shaoyu frowned and said, "Yingzheng wants to tour the east? ”

Long Ji nodded and said, "Brother said that Zhao Gao wants Hu Hai to stay in Xianyang and monitor that person's movements. ”

Xiang Shaoyu smiled and said: "Zhao Gao wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, this person's mind is difficult to decide, is the ultimate goal really just to let Hu Hai ascend the throne of God?" ”

"Shaoyu, do you mean he still has other plans?"

"That's right." The heroic young master of the Xiang clan looked at Long Ji, his long-time cronies, and said with a smile: "But it's okay, there are endless disputes within the empire, and our future plans can be better implemented." ”

Although at this moment, Xiang Shaoyu's side, there are less than a thousand soldiers, and there will be less than a hundred. He still has infinite self-confidence.

And it is this self-confidence that helps them get through the difficulties again and again in the most difficult moments.

The dragon trusted him, and so did the hundreds of soldiers around him. The young master of the Xiang family, unconsciously, already has the bearing of a generation of kings.

"One day, the empire will be chaotic again, and then, it will be our chance." Xiang Shaoyu looked at the green mountains in the rain, smiled slightly, and said.

"Shaoyu, why are you so sure?" Long Ji asked, although he longed for the restoration of the country, but he also had to admit that the rule of the empire was as stable as Mount Tai at the moment.

"Ying Zheng forced the people of the Six Kingdoms to use the same language and speak the same language, which is the source of chaos in the world. How long can such a tyrannical king, even if he unifies the world, last? In Xiang Shaoyu's words, he did not hide his dislike for the Qin State, his dislike for the Qin Emperor, and his dislike for everything related to the Qin State, including the system, writing, and land.

"By the way, there is one thing, what are you going to do with the matter between Jibu and Yingbu?" Long Ji asked, these two people also have nearly a thousand subordinates under their command at the moment, but they were separated from Prince Qin's subordinates after all. Although the two of them didn't know it, Long Ji still had a layer of separation from them in his heart.

"I believe that they are proud and honored as Chu people." Xiang Shaoyu said firmly.

"Shaoyu! Your big brother and I'm here. ”

In the midst of the rain, there was a loud shout. Even if Xiang Shaoyu didn't look back, he knew who was talking?

Xiang Shaoyu turned around, Jing Tianming was wearing a coat and walked over.

Looking at the smile on his face, Xiang Shaoyu stretched out his fist and gently tapped his chest, "You kid, you've been walking for so long, and now you remember to come to see my eldest brother!" ”

"Of course, as soon as I arrived in Jiujiang, the first thing I did was to come to see you, little brother!" Jing Tianming patted his chest, looking like I was very righteous.

Long Ji watched from the side and shook his head, these two people! Every time we meet, we have to argue about the topic of the big brother and the little brother. It's just that no one can convince anyone?

"How! Have you eaten, do you want to drink some broth? Xiang Shaoyu invited Tianming into his house, and Long He left first.

"It just so happens that I'm hungry." Jing Tianming looked at the soup basin on the table, put down the ink eyebrows in his hand, unceremoniously took out the tableware from the cabinet on the side, scooped a bowl, and drank it with a clatter.

"How's it going, is it going well this time?" Xiang Shaoyu asked with a smile.

"It's okay!" Jing Tianming wiped his mouth and said, "Although the person that the eldest prince wants us to deal with is quite tricky, it was solved smoothly in the end. The Jianghu forces on the East Vietnamese side have also submitted to us. ”

"It's really hard to imagine that the Yin and Yang family can join forces with the Mo family at this moment." Xiang Shaoyu shook his head, and suddenly asked, "By the way, is there any news from Yue'er?" ”

Jing Tianming's face darkened, and he said, "Yue'er has been missing for a long time, and even within the Yin and Yang family, her whereabouts can't be found. But this time, I got news from Shi Lan. ”

"What!" Even though that shadow had disappeared in front of Shao Yu for a long time, every time he heard this name, he couldn't forget it for a long time.

"But ......," Jing Tianming said here, and he stopped talking.

"What?"

Jing Tianming has always been very bold, and he has a sentence to say in front of him. With his appearance, Xiang Shaoyu became worried.

"Is something wrong with Shi Lan?"

"Not really." Jing Tianming shook his head and said, "But when the Mo family's rangers found her, Shi Lan was in the clouds. ”

Xiang Shaoyu's heart was shocked, and his face turned white all of a sudden, "She's in the clouds, how is she doing now?" ”

"The rangers of the Mo family found Shi Lan's trace on the streets of Cloud City. At that time, the Qin army searched closely, and the ranger did not see Shi Lan herself, but saw her enter the Yunzhong County Mansion. ”

Xiang Shaoyu took out the jade hairpin that was not sent, and rubbed it gently, with a silent expression on his face, as if he was remembering something.

Jing Tianming looked at Xiang Shaoyu like this, and asked tentatively: "Shaoyu, should we go to the clouds and look for Shi Lan." ”

Xiang Shaoyu shook his head and said, "No need, now Chudi can't do without me." Moreover, I believe that sooner or later, Shi Lan and I will meet again. ”

Looking at Xiang Shaoyu's appearance, Jing Tianming pretended to be helpless and said, "Anyway, I'm going to go to the clouds, I'll stop by to see Shi Lan, what is she doing in the clouds?" (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
