Chapter 51
Now not only has Meng Tian returned from victory, but there is also good news from Wei Tuo.
Five years ago, Wei Tuo was still Tu Sui's deputy general, and followed Tu Sui to capture the land of Lingnan. But I don't know what this Tu Sui thinks, and he doesn't treat the people who surrendered to the Baiyue tribe as human beings, and he killed innocents indiscriminately and killed a lot of people. What kind of place is that in Lingnan? Basically, everyone there knows some ways of raising insects and poisoning them. So soon Tu Sui was assassinated by the local people in Lingnan.
Tu Sui died, but the huge place in Lingnan could not be taken over by anyone, and it was at this time that Wei Tuo was turned from deputy to regular. Wei Tuo, who has turned into a regular, has become more restricted in his actions. Originally, the locals of Lingnan were specifically targeting Tu Sui. As soon as Tu Sui died, naturally everyone began to target Wei Tuo.
No matter where you are a magistrate, whether you are a big or a small official, you must have a good relationship with the local residents. It took Wei Tuo almost five years to clean up the mess for Tu Sui. Now, the Lingnan region has finally been almost included in the territory of Daqin.
Due to the instability of the Lingnan region, Wei Tuo could not come back in person to report to Yingzheng. Just sent his own lieutenant back.
Ying Zheng naturally knew how difficult it was for Wei Tuo to recover Lingnan after Tu Sui's death. Now that Captain Tuo has made great contributions, Yingzheng will not blame him even more. Not only that, Yingzheng also passed the guò Lingqu and gave a lot of materials to Wei Tuo.
In short, this year has been very satisfying. Solving the two major scourges of the Lingnan region and the northern Xiongnu, how can Yingzheng not be complacent? Speaking of which, the reason why the Qin State had the ability to dominate the Six Kingdoms at the beginning really had a lot to do with defeating the Western Rong Clan. Now that the two barbarian clans in the north and south have been attached to the Great Qin State, does this mean that Great Qin will go to a higher step?
Yingzheng, who was in a good mood, returned to the dormitory.
The moment Ying Zheng saw Jin Ke, he suddenly remembered what Jin Ke said: Great Qin will not be passed down for thousands of generations, but will die in the second generation.
Thinking of what Jin Ke said, Yingzheng was heartbroken. Obviously, all the Yiqiē of Great Qin seemed so peaceful, how could they die in the second place? Could it be that something else that can't be said happened later?
There is also the matter of Fusu and Huhai. Jin Ke believed everything Yingzheng said, but the only thing he didn't believe was that Hu Hai killed Fusu in order to sit on the throne. You know, sometimes Ying Zheng feels that Hu Hai and Fusu are closer (of course, Ying Zheng will never admit that he is too strict, so the younger son prefers to be with the eldest son).
"What are you doing watching me stunned?" Jin Ke felt Ying Zheng's strange gaze and asked.
"In your world, is it true that my country is the second to die?" Ying Zheng asked.
Jin Ke nodded and said, "What I have learned from my twenty years of experience is indeed so. Of course, I don't think it's your fault that the second person died! "I still think that you can lead us to immortality and dominate the world. It's just a pity!
Looking at Jin Ke's slightly regretful eyes, Ying Zheng felt quite uncomfortable in his heart: "Jin Ke, if I wasn't the emperor, wouldn't you like me?" Ying Zheng had already seen that Jin Ke was not normal when he first came to assassinate him as an assassin. I'm afraid that at that time, Jin Ke's infatuation when he saw himself was only because he was the emperor he remembered, not because of himself at all.
"That's very likely!" Jin Ke looked at Ying Zheng carefully and said, "Look at you, although you can still look good, but after all, you are so much older than me!" If you weren't my first emperor, I guess I wouldn't have looked down on you! Jin Ke told the truth without hesitation.
However, many facts tell us that if we tell the truth directly, it will not end well, especially when facing a big man like Yingzheng.
"Okay, so you're disgusted that I'm a few years older than you?" Ying Zheng looked at Jin Ke with a half-smile.
"W-you can't be angry!" Jin Ke saw a little and said, "This is what you asked me!" ”
"I'm not angry! What do I have to be angry about? Ying Zheng said, "I should thank you for your truth!" ”
Although there was nothing wrong with what Ying Zheng said, he was clearly gritting his teeth when he said this, as if he was going to swallow Jin Ke.
Jin Ke swallowed his saliva and said, "Then you can't retaliate elsewhere!" That's not a hero! ”
"What do you want?" Ying Zheng's voice suddenly became kind, "I just want to do you like that, and I don't want to, do I?" ”
Then Jin Ke was so naïve to believe it - believed!
After Ying Zheng told him this, he went to deal with government affairs again. Jin Ke quickly forgot about this little episode.
It wasn't until the evening routine that Jin Ke realized that Yingzheng was definitely angry today. Originally, it was good once a night, even if it was to add yesterday's copy, it shouldn't have been so long.
No matter how he thought about it, Jin Ke could only think of the words he said to Ying Zheng today. Isn't it just to tell the truth, and I dislike Ying Zheng's old age? How can this be, didn't you say that you won't retaliate? Jin Ke said that he was very innocent and speechless. In the future, you can't be so sincere in front of Ying Zheng!
On the second day, it was supposed to be the time when Yingzheng went to the early dynasty, but I didn't expect Jin Ke to wake up and see him.
"Why don't you go to court?" Jin Ke moved his dry throat and asked.
"Get up, I'll take you to someone!" Ying Zheng said.
“???!!!” Jin Ke was puzzled. If you want to see something important, why didn't you say it last night, and you have to get up early today? I don't know if the master can't get up now?
But no matter what, Yingzheng, who had a stern face, still tricked Jin Ke out of bed.
When he saw Zhou Qi, Jin Ke was still in a state of confusion, and he didn't understand what Ying Zheng was doing when he called him to see this person.
"Ministers knock - see Your Majesty, the queen ——!" Zhou Qi is also a second person, and he didn't give Jin Ke time to react at all, so he used his voice that didn't sound like a normal person to scare Jin Ke away from the sleepy insects that Jin Ke was secretly carrying.
"What does that mean?" Jin Ke pointed to Zhou Qi, who was kneeling, but he was asking Ying Zheng questions.
Ying Zheng said proudly: "I think General Zhou is a usable talent, so I asked General Meng for him!" ”
Although he knew that Ying Zheng would not "want" this man who looked like five big and three thick, but because the hidden meaning of the word "want" was too powerful, Jin Ke's thoughts inevitably flew away, and his face changed several colors, which was wonderful.
Ying Zheng looked at Jin Ke's face, although he didn't know what he thought of again, but it was definitely not a good thing for him to be told by experience.
"Don't think about it!" Ying Zheng said, "I asked General Meng Tian for Zhou Qi for you, and Zhou Qi will follow you to protect your safety in the future!" ”
"Karma?" Jin Ke said that he didn't know much about Yingzheng. Obviously, he stays in Xianyang Palace every day, and he is very safe. Maybe there were assassins a few years ago, but it wasn't against him. Why did Yingzheng take the extra step to find him a guard? And this guard is still their former "enemy"?
"I'm here for your good!" Ying Zheng said earnestly.
"Isn't there a secret guard in the palace? Why did you ask General Zhou to come over? Jin Ke said, "General Zhou is a person who wants to make great contributions on the battlefield!" ”
"The secret guard can only protect you in secret, I let Zhou Qi come, it is to protect you on the surface!" Ying Zheng said, "Zhou Qi has a thousand elite soldiers under his command, all of whom are stationed in Xianyang City. From today on, Zhou Qi and the people under Zhou Qi are under your control! ”
"What does this mean, listen only to me, not you?" Jin Ke asked.
"Since it was given to you, it is, naturally!" Ying Zheng said.
This feeling of suddenly having his own soldier, Jin Ke really felt indescribable. Who is Yingzheng? That was a person who adopted the "county system", and even his own son was reluctant to be crowned a marquis and a king, and he would actually allow Jin Ke to have a good team in a place like Xianyang City.
"Your Majesty, aren't you worried that I'm going to rebel or something?" Jin Ke asked.
"Hahaha——!" Ying Zheng laughed, "I'm not worried about that! I just want to give my queen a little reassurance! ”
What a big-hearted emperor. - But, what should I do if you are such a big-hearted emperor and make me more and more reluctant? Jin Ke thought: Maybe Yingzheng's words about sharing the world with me are really not just talking.
"Since Your Majesty trusts me so much, then I'm welcome!" Jin Ke said.
Ying Zheng smiled and grabbed Jin Ke's hand, looked at Zhou Qi and said, "General Zhou, have you remembered, in the future, you will only listen to the queen and swear allegiance to the queen!" ”
"No!" Zhou Qi said in this kneeling position.
"Then General Zhou Qi will go down first!" Jin Ke said.
"No!" Zhou Qi got up and left.
Walking far away, Zhou Qi suddenly glanced back.
At that time, Jin Ke didn't know what the reason was, and punched Ying Zheng.
Zhou Qi heard Jin Ke scolding with a smile from a distance: "Yingzheng, you are really getting more and more capable!" Zhou Qi didn't hear the faint words in the back, and he didn't hear how Jin Ke said that His Majesty was capable. Zhou Qi wanted to know what kind of ability His Majesty had in the end
Ying Zheng handed over Zhou Qi and a thousand soldiers under Zhou Qi to Jin Ke, which almost blew up the Great Qin court.
Don't say that Great Qin practiced a county system, and no one could have an army except the emperor. As the queen, Jin Ke has a thousand men and horses independent of the imperial power, and he is still a thousand men and horses stationed in Xianyang City. This has never happened in any previous dynasty or generation. It is simply a contempt and attack on the imperial power. But this person who despises imperial power is Yingzheng himself, which is really helpless.
The courtiers didn't dare to say anything about the First Emperor, so they had to point the finger at Jin Ke. In the past, there was Da Ji who complimented the troubles of the dynasty, and there was actually a male queen in Daqin who brought disaster to the country and the people.
Ying Zheng may have to consider the opinions of the courtiers in other matters, but about the affairs of his own harem, especially the matter related to Jin Ke, he will not leave a trace of affection at all.
Ying Zheng was angry at first and wanted to cut down the courtier who said that Jin Ke "brought disaster to the country and the people". Later, he thought about it again, if he really did this, wouldn't Jin Ke be convicted of the crime of "bringing disaster to the country and the people"?
Ying Zheng, who figured it out, adopted a "blind eye" countermeasure to the courtiers' statements. Anyway, it's my queen, you can't care about it, can you?
