Half a month later, Wang Meng's mansion, the inner room.

Compared with the high-spirited Prime Minister of Great Qin half a month ago, today's Wang Meng seems to be twenty years old all of a sudden, his face is full of wrinkles, his white hair is pale, and his eyes are deeply sunken, and his eyes that were originally radiant have become so hollow at this time, and he can't see a little anger, the room is filled with a strong smell of medicine, and occasionally there are one or two low sobs, the life of this Great Qin Prime Minister is like a lamp and candle that is burning, and it will be extinguished at any time.

A smile suddenly flashed on Wang Meng's face, and he said to Fu Jian, who was sitting in front of his bed with tears streaming down his face: "Heavenly King, don't be sad, don't be sad, there is a banquet in the world, you and I will always say goodbye, and now is it." ”

Fu Jian cried and shook his head, but he held Wang Meng's already thin hand tightly: "No, Jingluo, don't leave me, I don't know how to live without you!" It's my fault, I shouldn't have done that to you, I shouldn't have been biased towards Murong Chui, I'm going to order him to be killed, I just beg you not to leave! ”

Wang Meng sighed leisurely: "Heavenly King, don't be like this, that day he was completely exposed, you can be punished, but you missed the opportunity, now there is no reason to kill him, if you kill him by force, it will only, it will only make the people of the world dissatisfied." I know, you, you ordered an amnesty for me, I still, I still have to persuade you, this, this is not in accordance with the etiquette law, only, only when the king and the queen mother pass away, can you ............"

Fu Jian yelled: "Fuck the etiquette, I am the king of heaven, whoever I want to live will live, Jing Luo, you founded Daqin with your own hands, and your importance to Daqin surpasses that of the Queen Mother, surpasses the first emperor, and even surpasses me!" If I can make you better, I can do whatever I want! ”

Wang Meng sighed, closed his eyes, and muttered: "Life and death are naturally predestined, isn't it human power that can be changed?" Over the years, the minister has been fighting in the east and west, assisting the Heavenly King to rectify the dynasty, and he has not worked hard for a day, this body has long been gone, if he didn't want to see the Qin State of the Heavenly King collapse, how could he hold on to it until now?! ”

"When the minister was young, he liked to talk about the Tao, and he also contracted the vice of taking Wushi San, when he was young, he only felt high-spirited, but now his body is getting worse, these toxins accumulate in the body, it is difficult to save the gold and stone, this is the fate of the minister, and the king of heaven should not be sad!"

Fu Jian's tears poured out like a flood again: "God, why are you so cruel, why do you want to take away my scenery!" ”

Wang Meng's eyes suddenly flashed: "Heavenly King, these days you have been ignoring state affairs and staying with me, this is not right, it is not a pity for the minister to die, but the world of Great Qin, tens of millions of people, all need you to continue to manage and take care of them, how can you despise the people of the world because of one king?!" ”

Fu Jian bowed his head and was silent, and after a long time, he sighed: "The imperial court has its own discipline, and there is a full set of operation system left by you, even if there is no me, there will be no accident, Jinglue, don't be too pessimistic, the five stones scatter poison, it is not incurable, I heard that there is a secret technique in the Western Regions that can be cured, so I will order, let Lu Guang, who went to the Western Regions, speed up and find me quickly............"

Wang Meng shook his head: "How can there be a medicine in this world that can bring the dead back to life?" If there really is such a miraculous medicine, then the people of the Western Regions should also live forever. But it's just rumors, the Western Regions are too far away from the Central Plains, and after the Han Dynasty's three links and three absolutes, few people from the Central Plains have set foot on this land for hundreds of years, so there will be such absurd rumors. This time, Lu Guang's expedition to the Western Regions is to open up this connection and reopen the Silk Road, as long as the Western Regions are included in the states and counties of the Central Plains, the west of Great Qin will be worry-free in the future! ”

Fu Jian closed his eyes in pain: "Could it be that there is really no way to save Jing Luo?!" ”

Wang Meng sat up with difficulty, looked at Fu Jian's eyes, and his expression became extremely serious: "Heavenly King, what you should consider now is not to save me Wang Meng, but to save your Great Qin Kingdom, now my consciousness is abnormally awake, this is a reflection of the light, maybe if you fall asleep again, the minister will not wake up again, so this is the minister's last words to you, please be sure to listen!" ”

Fu Jian hooked the corners of his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, Wang Meng's hand grabbed his hand suddenly, and his voice became extremely firm: "Please listen to me with peace of mind!" ”

Fu Jian nodded seriously: "You say, I must listen attentively and do my best!" ”

Wang Meng's eyes sparkled: "First of all, please give up the idea of conquering the Jin Kingdom in the south, the world is in turmoil, it has been nearly a hundred years, the north and the south are divided, and it has also passed a jiazi, since ancient times, the customs of the north and the south are very different, the northerners are not feasible for the king of the Central Plains to turn into Jingyang, and the Wu people cannot go out of the Central Plains by boat to fight for the world, this is the real reason why the world cannot be unified in the past hundred years!" ”

"Although the north is strong and the south is weak, but the current Jin State, the monarch and the ministers are still united, there are good ministers inside, there are generals outside, the army and the people regard the country as the last hope of the Han people, if there is no external force, they will fight inward, unable to go north, and once the army of the Great Qin wants to destroy the Jin, they are bound to resist desperately."

Fu Jian nodded: "But after all, my Qin army has millions of people, and the Jin State destroyed Wu back then, isn't it the same as today's situation?" Why can't you see this all the time? ”

Wang Meng sighed and shook his head: "The Jin Dynasty of Wei, the destruction of Shu, the internal unity, the people's hearts are stable, and the monarchs and ministers of the Wu State are centrifuged, and they have lost Jingzhou, and the Yangtze River is no longer enough to be trusted, which is the reason why the Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu." But this is not the case in Daqin now, the Central Plains ethnic groups are mixed, the defeated and conquered Xianbei, Qiang, Xiongnu, and Qian, these foreign races, are all lurking and waiting, when the country is stable, they dare not make chaos, once the frontline war is unfavorable, or it drags on for a long time, there will be chaos inside, this, Wangtian King remember! ”

Fu Jian sighed: "We have discussed these words many times a long time ago, but this time, Jing Luo, I promise you, the matter of the southern expedition, for the time being!" ”

Wang Meng's eyes flashed with a hint of relief, and he nodded: "Heavenly King, this second thing is what the minister just said, the real enemy of Great Qin is not in the Jin Kingdom in the south, but in the various Hu people who have been conquered in the north, you are a member of the Di people, and you are also a long-term mixed with the Han people, and the ethnic group with the highest degree of sinicization. ”

"But the other Hu people, their living habits are completely different from the Han people, they don't do farming, they still think about the nomadic robbery, this habit, unless they are integrated for one or two hundred years, they cannot be changed! And before these Hu people are completely assimilated into farming Han people, the Jin people in the south will also regard the people of Qin as a different kind of Hulu and do not want to be unified, so the Xianbei people and Qiang people who have a grudge against you to destroy the country are the real enemies, you must realize this! ”
