……

Thirty-one years of the First Emperor.

Spring, the first day of the festival.

Although it is still cold and windy, the cold winter has passed, and spring has quietly arrived.

At the beginning of the new year, although it does not look much different from previous years, from the bustling noise of buses and busy traffic throughout Xianyang, you can clearly feel that this new year, Xianyang will be destined to be a different beginning.

Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

When the people of the entire Great Qin began to open the door to welcome the New Year, the civil and military officials and princes of Xianyang also worshiped the ancestors of the Taimiao and the god of spring under the leadership of the emperor, praying for the ancestors and the gods from all walks of life to bless the New Year of Daqin.

Chen Xu, as the emperor's right-hand man, is now in full bloom, and has just overturned the left minister Li Si, plus the new business law is about to be launched, it can be said that the popularity has exploded recently, and the rich businessmen and celebrities who come to visit every day are endless, and the gifts sent to the door are also full of sweat, and the seven or eight warehouses in the Hou Mansion and the other courtyard have long been unable to pile up.

Today's Yuan Day Festival, Chen Xu was invited to participate, and stood by the emperor's side throughout the whole process, and a group of Shangqing Chehou such as Li Si, Feng Quji, Meng Yi, Wang Ben, etc., participated in the whole sacrifice ceremony as a relative of the emperor.

Li Si's eldest son, Li You, married the princess of Huayin.

Feng Quji's eldest son, Feng Jing, married Princess Yingji Yan of Huaqing.

Meng Yi's eldest son, Meng Yun, married Princess Ying Liyan of Huaping.

Chen Xu is married to Princess Huayu Ying Shiyan.

Although Wang Ben did not marry a princess, his father Wang Jian married Princess Yingyuan Yan of Huayang.

Therefore, this group of people are all relatives of the royal family, and they are all relatives, and the military god Wang Jian is even the same generation as Chen Xu, and he can call his uncle when they meet.

However, this kind of nonsense generation will not recognize each other, and they only recognize their royal relatives, and this identity will also be firmly tied to each other and the emperor.

Xiang Yu rebelled and entered Xianyang, killing more than 400 civil and military households of the Manchu Dynasty, more than 4,000 people of the royal family, including all relatives who suffered at the same time, Xianyang was full of blood and abandoned corpses, and before that, Hu Hai had killed all his brothers and sisters with the help of Zhao Gao.

Chen Xu was even wondering if the emperor was not pleasing to these founding fathers, and knew that Great Qin would die, so he pulled together to be a companion, not only was he not lonely on the Huangquan Road, but he was still able to gather a team to fight against the Ten Palaces Yama when he arrived at the Yin Cao Difu.

But right now, I'm about to get to this mahjong table, so ...... This result needs to be changed...... It must be changed.

In order to celebrate the New Year, Chen Xu also asked people to prepare a roll of 10,000 firecrackers, and after the worship is over, they are placed outside the temple to ignite, crackling explosions and green smoke in the familiar taste, the lion dance that has been prepared has long been accompanied by low horns and drum music, pushing this Yuan Day festival to a climax, hundreds of thousands of people in Xianyang gathered to watch this unprecedented lively celebration together.

At the end of the festival, the emperor led the princes and princes and hundreds of civil and military officials to hold the first court meeting of the New Year and the New Year.

The content of today's court meeting is also very simple, the main thing is to issue an edict to spread the newly printed new commercial law bill and currency bill to the counties, counties and towns of the world, taking this opportunity to show that the emperor is ready to reform the old and make a great plan to build Daqin into a prosperous and powerful earth power.

After a few edicts were issued, the court quieted down, the emperor stood up, his face became extremely solemn, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at the emperor with some confusion.

"Decree ......"

The emperor's order seems to have been planned for a long time, so his voice is also very serious, which makes everyone feel a slight tightness in their hearts, and Su Yue, who is responsible for recording the edict, hurriedly picked up the pen and ink again and waited, with a serious face.

"It is rumored that the Marquis of Wucheng in the northwest military camp will leave, and 10,000 people from the Li Xin Department of Di Daohou will be transferred to Shuofang County, and 10,000 people from the Hou Jianghu Department of Yinshan will be transferred to Longxi County, plus the 10,000 horses and soldiers newly established by the retrenchment will be moved to Hexi in the north, and the people, Xiongnu, and prisoners from the four counties of Jiuyuan, Shangjun, Beidi, and Longxi will be recruited to build cities and military camps on the border of Longxi......"

As soon as the emperor's order came out, the entire court was in an uproar.

Because except for Chen Xu, almost no one could know the emperor's plans, including Li Sifeng, Qujian and Meng Yi, the three powerful ministers were all confused and dazed.

On the first day of the new year, what is the emperor going to do?

Do you feel that you have nothing to do and prepare to do a big job, ready to go to the bitter cold land of the northwest to dig sand and play?

"Jingwu Marquis Meng Tian obeys the order!" The emperor ignored the uproar of the court and the confusion of the officials, but continued to issue orders.

"I named Aiqing as the general of the Western Regions, in charge of the 30,000 soldiers and horses belonging to Fangcai, and stepped up training to prepare for the attack on the Qiangrong tribes in the Western Regions, although Aiqing has just returned to Xianyang from the Northwest Camp for only a year, but Aiqing is brave and strategic, and is the pillar of the Great Qin Army, and the affairs of the Western Regions are complicated, and Aiqing cannot control it, so Aiqing can only continue to work hard and complete the important ......task of attacking the Western Regions for me to defend the Western Regions."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, the minister will definitely complete the battle of the Western Regions for Your Majesty!" Meng Tian was in a daze at this time, but he was still very spiritual and quickly agreed.

Although he still didn't know why the emperor suddenly mobilized 30,000 troops to move to the Western Regions, this incident made him settle down at once, which at least showed that his status in the emperor's heart had not been reduced in the slightest, and the emperor was not angry with them because of Zhao Gao's incident at the beginning.

Military power has always been the most important core of Great Qin.

The entire army of Daqin, only the emperor can command and control, without his orders and the military talisman of troop transfer, even the commander who controls the army cannot mobilize a soldier and a pawn out of the camp, because the subordinate generals see the talisman, and those who violate the order will inevitably be cut into five, six, seven or eighty pieces and hung at the door of the barracks to feed the crows, and if the commander who issues the order does not have the corresponding complete military talisman, the subordinate generals can refuse any order from the commander, and once it is discovered by Xuanwu Wei or the supervisor, the emperor will be notified. It is estimated that the commanders of the three clans will be cut into meat sauce for the crime of treason.

It is precisely such a strict control of the army that enables the emperor to sit in Beijing and control the national army safely, otherwise the generals will inevitably support the army and be a mess.

The emperor suddenly issued these two unbelievable edicts on the first day, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, the news set off a storm in Xianyang City like a hurricane, and the people of the entire Xianyang City immediately began to speculate and discuss with anxiety.

Chen Xu returned to the Qinghe Hou Mansion, washed and changed his clothes and was about to eat some snacks to satisfy his hunger, when the doorman came to report, and the general Meng Tian sent a letter inviting him to the Sanwei Tea House for a gathering.

Chen Xu had no choice but to smile bitterly and put on his leather jacket again and go out.

In a warm room in the Sanwei Tea House, Meng Tian and Meng Yi were already cooking tea, and when they saw Chen Xu coming in, they quickly stood up and saluted.

Although they are relatives of each other, and Chen Xu is still a junior, the son-in-law is not a family member in this era, especially Chen Xu's current status, so that the two dare not slack off.

"My father-in-law is on top, and I am worshiped by my son-in-law!"

"Asahi meets the general!"

Chen Xu also bowed to the two of them before Shi Shiran sat down, and Meng Yiping personally poured hot tea for Chen Xu after retiring from the tea lady.

"Does the Marquis of Qinghe know why His Majesty made such arrangements in the court today?" When pouring tea, Meng Tian couldn't wait to ask.

Chen Xu smiled and waited for the tea to be full, took it and tasted it slowly before saying with a smile: "The general is about to develop!" ”

"The virtuous son-in-law, please make it clear, what is the need to be developed?" Meng Yi sat down and looked at Chen Xu in confusion.

"The general is back in charge of the new army, the Western Regions are promising, naturally it is going to be developed, if the attack on the Western Regions is successful, the Montessori will be side by side with the Wang family to rank among the top wealthy families in Great Qin, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military all think that His Majesty is a whim, in fact, His Majesty has been judging the situation for more than half a year, and the original reduction of the 300,000 troops in the northwest is for today's order!" Chen Xu was secretive and refused to say it explicitly.

But Meng Tian was in a hurry, and eagerly grabbed Chen Xu's arm: "Qinghe Hou, my Montessori and you are in-laws, how can I swallow and vomit, if this matter is not clarified, I will go to the military camp and be at a loss, how will I develop in the future?" ”

"The general shouldn't have asked me about this, but the emperor!" Chen Xu shook his head.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi glanced at each other.

"Brother, what Marquis Qinghe said is good, you should ask Your Majesty about this matter!" Meng Yi came back to his senses and nodded slowly.

"Well, I see, the old man understands, thank you Qinghehou for reminding me!"

Meng Tian also understood at this time, it was not that Chen Xu was unwilling to say, but since the emperor issued such a puzzling order, it must have been planned in advance, although Chen Xu could also get the answer by asking, but after all, it was not as transparent as the emperor himself thought, and it was important to figure out the righteousness, but as a courtier, it was better to get the most accurate answer from the emperor's mouth in person, the emperor was willing to say, then everything could be arranged in advance, if the emperor was unwilling to say, then he could only follow the emperor's orders step by step, Too many superfluous ideas will cause estrangement and suspicion among monarchs and ministers, especially for soldiers, the fewer ideas and simpler the better, just lead the troops to fight well, and the less other political factors are considered, the better.

"In fact, at the moment, the people of Daqin know too little about the Western Regions, if the general doesn't want to ask the emperor, when the time comes, you can also ask Di Daohou and Yinshan Hou when he goes to the military camp, both of them know the intention of His Majesty's arrangement, not to mention that this matter is only a deployment of troops at the moment, and His Majesty will not attack rashly as a last resort, because the first to conquer the Western Regions is the Yue Clan, and the strength of the Yue Clan and the general should know that it is not for the Donghu and Xiongnu to be so vulnerable, and the Yue Clan occupies a vast territory, And many places are grassland Gobi and sandy desert, if there is no adequate preparation, even if it is 30,000 well-equipped elite horses, it may not be able to fight a war, not to mention that it has been more than two years since the invention of the stirrup saddle, after the two wars with the Huns Donghu, the Huns scattered tens of thousands, many of them defected to the Yueshi, so the stirrups and saddles must have spread to the Yueshi and even the Western Regions, even if the Yueshi is not good at smelting steel and horse harness manufacturing, but it is inevitable to make some equipment according to the tiger painting cat, Therefore, whether it is a frontal attack or a surprise attack, in the face of the super tribe of the Yue Clan, it is impossible to be as easy as conquering the Hun Hu, not to mention the defeat of the Hun Hu, the Yue Clan must have already stepped up its precautions, the significance of the raid is not too great, after the general went to the barracks, it is best to arrange a large number of scouts to inquire about the internal situation of the Yue Clan, and then act at his discretion......"

Chen Xu looked at Meng Tian's slightly hesitant expression, knowing that it might backfire when he met the emperor to ask the reason, so he slightly mentioned Li Xin and Jiang Hu, and also said some of his own opinions.

"Thank you Qinghe Hou for mentioning it, and wait for the old man to get the military talisman order and then visit the door to thank you!" Meng Tian bowed.

"Hehe, our two clans are in-laws, one is prosperous and the other is lost, but the general of the Western Regions should be careful, as long as the Yueshi is conquered, the lands of the Western Regions will almost be at your fingertips, and the other barbarians will inevitably fall when they hear the wind, and the conquest of the Western Regions will be a matter of course, but about the matter of the Yueshi, I advise the general to consult His Majesty's opinion, the Hun Touman Shan Yu has an eldest son who should now be pledged in the Yueshi, but the Touman is dead, the Xiongnu have also been conquered, and the proton has almost lost its effect, The general can use this as a threat to ask His Majesty to send an envoy to ask the king of the Yue clan for this person, and by the way, take the opportunity to probe the situation within the Yue clan......"

"Is there such a thing?" Meng Tian and Meng Yi spoke almost at the same time.

"This matter is calculated by me based on the relationship between the Xiongnu and the Yue clan, and I have also mentioned it to His Majesty, if you want to really find out the whole story, it is best to interrogate the Yan clan who is still imprisoned in prison and ask it!"

"Reasonable, without further ado, the old man will go into the palace to meet the emperor, and the Marquis of Qinghe will leave!" Meng Tian stood up, tidied up his tiara, and strode away.
