121 The transformation of Yingzheng, the crisis of Zhu Ji
Leaving Huan Qi, Wang Ben, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, Yang Duanhe and others to guard the cities, Li Liang took Tengyi and Jing Jun to lead the original guards, Ducai, Duwei, and the remaining 30,000 people of the Wujia elite soldiers, and returned to the dynasty.
These people can be said to be Yingzheng's private army, and of course they must be brought back to the pastures outside the city as a reserve force for counterinsurgency in the future.
The rest, including the original army under LΓΌ Buwei, were scattered and included in the command of Huan Qi, Wang Ben, Meng Tian and others, plus the supply of many new cities, and the Zhao people were weak to recover for many years, and it was not a problem to hold these cities.
Li Liang is not worried that Li Mu will re-command troops to recapture these cities, which King Zhao is willing to cede in exchange for peace, not to mention that after Li Mu's defeat this time, he is afraid that Guo Kai, Pang Yuan and others will be squeezed out of the way.
Li Liang left a henchman from the Qinqing Mansion to lead hundreds of people to disguise themselves as merchants and hide in Handan, secretly paying attention to Li Mu, once Li Mu was poisoned by the traitorous ministers, they would do their best to save Li Mu and send him to the Xiongnu border fortress.
I'm afraid that by then, Li Liang himself will also be "distributed" to the side for a long time.
It's been six years in the blink of an eye.
Over the years, even if he is as close as Qin Qing, Ji Yanran and others, he has no choice but to hide the big secret of his modern time-traveling person in his heart.
As for Yingzheng's secret, there are still Wu Yanfang and Zhao Qian who know it.
He knew the fate of Yingzheng best, because Yingzheng was Qin Shi Huang, who built a unified China.
But what he doesn't know the most is his own fate, and the system is mixing more and more. After the physical fitness evolution conditions are achieved, the evolution task of the protagonist of what era comes, to assist Yingzheng to unify the six countries and eliminate LΓΌ Buwei's main time task. Finally, what is the inheritance of faith?
Fortunately, these things are also gradually unsealed over time.
The harvest of many hidden missions is not small.
It's just that this body has evolved to the last point of comprehension and breakthrough to the limit, just a trace of boundaries, and has never been able to break through to the next stage.
Li Liang is very interested in the skill of the "flesh and blood derivation" that comes with it, that is, as long as he crosses this boundary, he can break through to the next stage. In the future, there is no fear of severed limbs, and flesh and blood will automatically derive and grow. Broken hands and feet will grow back, such benefits are really rare, how can it not be expected?!
When he reached the north bank of the Yellow River, the river was thawing from ice.
It's snow-melting season. The atmosphere is so cold that no matter how much clothing you wear, you can't bear it. Replaced by people with poor physique, they became ill with cold early. When the army returned, they could see their families immediately, but their hearts were so hot that they could withstand the cold.
Before they arrived at Xianyang, the vanguard sent by Yingzheng to greet the troops had already crossed the original border and arrived at the front line to greet them. Now that nearly half of the Sanjin have been annexed, they are not afraid that the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han and Wei will come out to make ghosts again, they have been beaten and scared by Li Liang.
More than a hundred large ships sailed down the river in the sunset.
After Li Liang and the others saw the flag of the incoming ship clearly. The collective cheers made people stand on the most prominent boulder. The fire was lit, and the incoming ship sent out the usual signal of the Qin army.
The Qin people on the ship were immediately alarmed, and people kept hugging the deck and shouting at him.
The boat slowly approached the flat mud mons on the shore.
After many years, Li Liang was ecstatic, like a prodigal son who had left his hometown all his life, saw his closest family and led the crowd to rush along the coast to meet him.
The giant boat in front of it was the first to dock, and more than a dozen long poles came over to support the shore to avoid collision.
A clear voice came down from afar: "National teacher, national teacher, it's us!" β
Li Liang recognized it as Changpingjun's kind voice.
It was even more difficult for him to believe that he heard the coquettish cries and cries of Qin Qing, Ji Yanran and other women.
Li Liang was so moved that he was finally going home.
The giant boat turned around and went upstream, and in the hall of the cabin, Li Liang changed into new clothes, and the stars were surrounded by everyone in the middle.
Qin Qing, Ji Yanran and Zhao Qian and other women were all emaciated by missing him, and they were still crying and laughing at this time, mixed with joy and sorrow.
After Li Liang was moved to hold the women in his arms and comfort them, seeing that they were tired and haggard with worry, Qin Qing, Ji Yanran and other women were persuaded by him to go back to the inner warehouse to rest.
Changping Jun said excitedly: "The prince is happier and more nervous than anyone else. Immediately asked the younger brother to leave everything behind and come to greet him. I only hate that the rivers are frozen. Thankfully, though. Otherwise, we may miss each other, and we will go for nothing. β
Li Liang asked, "How is the prince?" β
Changping Jun said: "The prince was very happy to receive Zhao Guo's request for peace. This battle of the national teacher not only pacified the rebellion of Puhu, but also greatly frustrated the spirit of the Zhao people, forcing the Zhao people to sue for peace, and the achievements were world-famous. β
Li Liang sighed: "If the merit can really cover the world, so many brothers don't have to die in a foreign land." β
Changpingjun hurriedly comforted him.
Li Liangliang shook his head for a long time and woke up from his sadness, people always have to move forward, and the desperate death of those soldiers in exchange for the future unity and peace, sighed with infinite memories: "Now I just want to sleep well, and I hope to wake up in Xianyang." β
β¦β¦
Li Liang changed into a military uniform, Zhuo Li bowed, and Changping Jun, Teng Yi, and Jing Jun stood beside him.
Nearly 100 warships, forming a spectacular procession in the river.
Xian-Yang is within an hour's boat ride.
The snow-covered landscape has been replaced by the beauty of early spring.
The white clouds are rising, the river is turbulent, the green willows on both sides are clustered, and the green trees are deep.
Li Liang stared at a long-tailed bluebird on the shore that was startled by the fleet, and remembered his fighting career in the past, and at this moment he couldn't help but feel like a horse in the open sky, let me toss and turn.
The only thing on his mind was Zhu Ji's safety.
Li Liang said with concern: "How is the Queen Mother?" β
Changpingjun seems to have something unspeakable.
Li Liang smiled: "What else do we need to worry about between us? Just say, I'm in charge! β
Changping Jun looked left and right and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, she, uh, told Chang Yu and Lu Buwei the origin of the prince's adoptive parents, and after they went to Zhao to find out, they claimed the identity of the prince...... There are fake ......"
Zhu Ji's trick is really stupid. Ying Zheng's true identity is not yet known, and what kind of crisis it will bring to her is also unknown. After all, they are not real mothers and sons. And how much Yingzheng hates Chang Yu, the disgust passed on to Zhu Ji will definitely not be less.
Li Liang saw that he had reached his maximum and was already quite a friend, so he casually asked, "What happened recently?" β
Changping Jun said: "Some time ago, King Han had just passed away, and Han Fei returned to Han to pay his respects, but he was detained. He is now succeeded by Prince An. Send an envoy to us for peace. The prince of Han sent Han Fei into Qin. I wonder if King Han Anken agreed? β
Li Liang nodded and said, "The prince has always admired Brother Han Fei's theory of governing the country, if Brother Han Fei can show his ambitions in Qin. It should be a good thing. β
In fact, it was Li Liang who deliberately suppressed Han Fei in the National Teacher Palace for many years. And Ying Zheng has mentioned many times that he wants to appoint Han Fei, a peerless talent of the Legalist.
It seems that Han Fei is unwilling to make a big fortune, but his ambitions cannot be carried out, so he has this toss, and he returns to Qin this time. I'm afraid that it will be reused by Yingzheng.
Ji Yanran also sighed. But there was no speech.
Li Liang glanced at her. saw that each other's eyes were worried about Han Fei's future and life.
Changping Jun lowered his voice and said: "Miao Poison is even more favored by the Queen Mother, and after becoming the Marquis of Changxin, Yu Lu is the same as Lu Buwei, and his arrogance is unbearable. LΓΌ Buwei sent an envoy to the state of Qi, and it seems that his private alliance with Tian Dan is real. β
This year is the time when Yingzheng will hold his coronation, and Miao Poison and LΓΌ Buwei will also arrive.
It's just that they don't know.
Thinking about it, Zhu Ji and Miao Poison have a closer relationship, which may be due to two reasons.
The first is that Zhu Ji began to suspect that Ying Zhengfei was his son. The second is to think that he is dead.
Zhu Ji needs a man to rely on, both mentally and physically.
Jing Jun smiled: "We came back unharmed this time. Some people are very disappointed. β
Zhao Qian said excitedly: "My husband has been away from home for a year. You'd never think the little ones were so tall. β
Ji Yanran said happily: "If it weren't for the children, Wumei would definitely go with us, and she was so tired that Siying, Ercui, Xiaozhen and Xiaofeng couldn't come, and they all cried for several days." β
Li Liang said leisurely: "Finally go home!" β
Ying Zheng got the news early and went out of the city to greet him in person.
This future Qin Shi Huang finally grew up, with a short beard, thick chest and back, and gestures, all of which had the imperial power of Ni Tianxia, and at a glance, Li Liang felt as if he was looking at a stranger.
Chang Wenjun, Li Si, Wu Tingfang, Lu Dan'er and many ministers poured into the nest, lively and grand, but there was no poison.
In the sound of drums and firecrackers, Li Liang abandoned the ship and landed ashore surrounded by everyone.
Yingzheng led the crowd out, supported Li Liang, who was giving gifts, carefully examined his emaciated face, and sighed: "The general has worked hard! β
A strange feeling welled up in Li Liang's heart, as if there was no longer the cordial relationship between the two of them.
This is not only because Ying Zheng was not as excited as expected, but also because Ying Zheng's eyes contained a look that made him difficult to understand.
Others rushed up to congratulate them.
Wu Tingfang threw herself into his arms desperately, and Lu Dan'er fell headlong into Jing Jun's arms.
The crowd burst out laughing.
Ying Zheng and Li Liang rode into the city side by side, and received the cheers of the people who welcomed them in the middle of the road, and said with a smile: "After the news of the general's ambush came back, every household prayed for the general and made a wish, hoping that the general would return victoriously as soon as possible. The general's battle between Zhongmu and Handan was indeed wonderful, and he won the greatest glory and interests for our Great Qin. Now they have finally got hope. β
Li Liang said: "Hasn't Lu Buwei come back yet?" β
A trace of an unfathomable smile escaped from the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth, and he waved his hand to the crowd and said lightly: "Everything is in the hands of the widow, let's talk about it when we go back!" β
Li Liang's heart was filled with the strange feeling he had before.
After a long time, the majesty of Yingzheng has increased greatly, and the city government is deeper, and it is no longer the child who will say "master save me" in the past.
After the military parade was held on the main square of the royal palace.
Li Liang and Ying Zheng avoided the secret talk in the study.
Ying Zheng took the initiative to talk about the "adoptive parents" Handan Zhang and his wife, and Long Musheng said coldly: "This traitor dares to leak this matter to outsiders, and it is not enough to blame for his death." β
Li Liang was also an "insider" who knew the farmer and his wife, and said: "The prince is the most filial person, and he should have sent someone to find them to enjoy the blessings as soon as possible." LΓΌ Buwei leaked it to Qi Ren and Sanjin to know that it was really uneasy and kind, but the prince seemed to have known that this would happen. β
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Don't forget that the widow has set up a chess piece at the thief. The thief's every move. How can you hide it from me. β
Li Liang said lightly: "The prince should have had a countermeasure. β
Ying Zheng said proudly: "If you know it." I sent someone to Handan, but I couldn't catch up. Fortunately, many years ago, the widow thought of this and solved the matter. β
Li Liang knew that he had already extinguished his mouth. A chill arose from the bottom of his heart, but he thought that he was not involved in it, and asked lightly: "Does the Queen Mother know?" I think that at the beginning, the Queen Mother entrusted me to reward them with a lot of money for raising the prince, but unfortunately they had already moved. β
Ying Zheng avoided his gaze and said indifferently: "The general doesn't need to look for it anymore, the widow has already settled them." β
Li Liang knew that Ying Zheng was lying. But if you continue to ask, everyone will be very unhappy, so you have to be silent.
There was an awkward silence between the two.
It will take a while to break the deadlock. sighed and said, "Isn't the master happy?" β
This "master" who has been "lost for a long time" softened Li Liang's conscience, and he said: "You have changed a lot. β
Ying Zheng's tiger's sharp eyes looked at him, and he looked at him for a long time. Nodding his head, he said, "I can't stay the same." If you want to sit firmly in this position, you can't stay the same, but I am still that little child to the general. β
After a pause, he said a little unspeakably: "Except for the general, who else knows about the widow?" β
Li Liangzhi had always wanted to ask this sentence, but he didn't take the opportunity to ask it until this moment.
He groaned slightly: "Except for Lord Wubao and Tingfang who know about the prince's adoptive parents, no one else knows about it. β
Ying Zheng exhaled and sat down on the throne. Looking up at the beams and pillars above, he said softly: "Good things don't go out." If the widow knows that anyone mentions this matter, he will not be able to pay attention to who it is, and he will be killed, and he will be exterminated to see who dares to say more. Hmph, LΓΌ Buwei, Miao Poison! β
Li Liang's heart moved, although this sentence was not aimed at him, but it was like Ying Zhengzuo's hint, warning himself not to tell others again, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
Ying Zheng didn't explain again, leaned forward and whispered: "The widow has decided to transfer Wang Jian back, and he will return to Xian-Yang within two months." β
Li Liang had a bad premonition and said, "Didn't the prince ask the queen mother about this matter?" β
Sure enough, Ying Zheng's eyes sparkled coldly, and he said disdainfully: "Since she doesn't treat me as a son, why should I still look at her face and behave as a person." She lives in Yongdu and is even more unscrupulous, and the matter of Miao poison is known in the streets, who in the world does not use this as a laughing stock, which makes me Daqin ashamed. β
Li Liangzhi knew that he hated Zhu Ji for leaking the Zhang family, and sighed and said, "The prince should remember what he promised me. He was referring to the fact that Ying Zheng must not hurt Zhu Ji under any circumstances.
Ying Zheng looked at him angrily and said angrily: "Does the general still want to defend her until now?" β
Li Liang's eyes were cold, staring at him and said, "Yes, she has always loved and supported you wholeheartedly." Although the relationship between mother and son has weakened, this relationship is continuous. If you are willing to put yourself in her shoes, you should know that it is not half of her good to do this, and it is only human nature that she still does it. β
Ying Zheng didn't know if he was still a little afraid of him, so he looked away with a weak heart, looked at the files and documents piled up on the case, and said: "Most of the reports here are more or less related to Zheng Guoqu, recently the widow received the news that Zheng Guo may be a person sent by King Han, what does the general think about this." β
Li Liang saw that Yingzheng deliberately diverted to other matters, and refused to continue to talk about Zhu Ji's affairs, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is very tired and wants to go home to rest." β
Ying Zheng sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's too angry." There are many things I don't want to do, but I know that I can't do it without it. Taifu should also put himself in the shoes of the widow. β
He called Li Liang with another official title, and immediately shortened the distance between the two again.
Li Liang was a little angry, and said solemnly: "The prince will be officially crowned king in July next year, and at that time, the power will be concentrated in one, what influence does the queen mother have on the prince?" β
Ying Zheng sank his face and said slowly, word by word: "Does the general know that the slut handed over the seal to Miao Poison to use at will, so that the widow could not sleep peacefully every night?" β
Yingzheng has really changed. The relationship with Zhu Ji has also reached a bad point that cannot be repaired. Otherwise, how could he call him a "slut", Li Liang was speechless.
"Bang!"
Ying Zheng's generous palm slapped heavily on the case, gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for the collusion between Miao and Lu Buwei, the implication would be too great, and the widow would have to break his body into ten thousand pieces in July." β
After a pause, Ying Zheng was angry, and said with a dumb smile: "The general knows that Miao Poison calls himself a 'false father', and also says that my 'false son' has little time, and he will be crowned by his false father." Ha, this fool can dream with wide eyes, but the widow will see how he ends. β
He said these words with a smile, which made Li Liang's conscience even more chilling than gritting his teeth.
Suddenly, he really felt very tired, he originally hoped that Ying Zheng would become successful as soon as possible, but now when he grows up, facing him is even more difficult and hard than dealing with Lu Buwei, how can he imagine this when he taught Ying Zheng Xin Archery?
Although Li Liang had been mentally prepared for a long time, but with a layer of relationship, and Zhao Qian really knew his original identity as Zhao Pan, it seemed that he would divert the girls and children as soon as possible before Ying Zheng's attention from Lu Buwei and Chang Yu shifted to this side.
It will be prepared in the near future.
Otherwise, with the ruthless and ferocious nature of cruelty and cruelty that Yingzheng has gradually developed, these people, except for Qin Qing and Ji Yanran, can escape, everyone else is afraid that they will be wiped clean by Yingzheng.
Heart archery, the last level, is to turn yourself into the Son of Heaven and manage the world.
However, everyone's comprehension and understanding are different, and Ying Zheng understands this last trick on the basis of the sense of security he lacked since he was a child, and understands this last trick as an absolute mode of "those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die".
It's okay on my side, replace Wang Jian with the situation, and you can move your family away to Biansai.
But Zhu Ji is about to be in danger.
What time the main line of correction, how to operate, and what kind of state the effect will reach, all need to be explored.
There is only one chance to use it, and if you have to do it as a last resort, don't use it, this is Zhu Ji's life! (To be continued......)
