Soon after the dispersal of the dynasty, dozens of fast horses left Xianyang City and went straight to Pinyang County.

An hour later, the first few horses rushed into the town of Meiyuan with tokens and went straight to the palace, and soon after, they heard a few roars and roars from the Hou Mansion, and soon saw that the face of the Marquis of Tongwu Wang Ben was extremely angry and rode a high-headed horse with a pitch-black body galloping out, and the coat and cloak were not worn, and they went straight to Xianyang City with a whip, and after a while, a large group of families rode horses shouting and chasing away.

The weather is cold and gloomy, the cold wind carries the goose feathers and snow all over the sky, and the sky and the earth are shrouded in it, and the figure is almost impossible to see more than ten zhang away, but this group of fast horses is like a dragon galloping in the wind and snow, and the whip is crackling.

"Report, Your Majesty, ask to see you outside the palace of the Marquis of Tongwu!" There is a report from the forbidden army outside the Zichen Palace.

At this time, the First Emperor, who was sitting in front of the desk in a daze, seemed to have expected it, and raised his hand and ordered: "Quickly invite the Marquis of Tongwu into the palace!" ”

"Huh~" The forbidden army retreated, Qin Shi Huang stood up, tossed the globe with his hand, and sighed after looking at the rotating sphere for a long time.

He did know about the Yanmen Pass for a long time, but he has always maintained a conniving attitude, and he didn't even arrange for someone to reprimand Wang Li for a few words, and the news brought back by Xuanwuwei was not very detailed, but it was simply stated that the soldiers of the border destroyed Jingbian Temple and the people of Zhao Di clashed, and some people were killed and injured, but it was far less clear than Chen Xu and Jiang Pu's understanding, but today according to Yang Zhen's statement and Jiang Pu's testimony, this matter is indeed a bit big, but he is also very depressed, I don't know why Chen Xu wanted to investigate and punish the crime in this matter with great fanfare.

At the moment, this matter is a bit of a dilemma for him.

Although the north is calm now, tens of thousands of elite horsemen must still have trustworthy generals to control, and as a group of veterans who conquered the six countries gradually get old, Wang Li, a young general like this, needs to be slowly cultivated, once punished, the general needs to be replaced, so that tens of thousands of people in the northern army camp will not have too trustworthy generals to guard, not to mention that a thorough investigation of this matter will inevitably make the Wang family feel guilty, and the first emperor was a little hesitant.

But if this matter is not thoroughly investigated, the Marquis of Qinghe is not easy to appease, in the eyes of the first emperor, Chen Xu is always an impenetrable figure, mysterious and naturally uncontrollable, once Chen Xu's request is not effectively answered, there will be a rift between the monarch and the minister in the future.

"Chen Aiqing, how do you want me to behave......

Qin Shi Huang was silent for a long time and then turned around and walked towards the door of the main hall, at this time there were already rapid and powerful footsteps, it should be the arrival of the Marquis of Tongwu.

Sure enough, as soon as the emperor walked to the door, he saw the Marquis of Tongwu, whose beard was unkempt, and his face was tense, and he followed the two palace people in stride, and his head and body were covered with messy snowflakes.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty!" When Wang Ben saw the First Emperor who greeted the Zichen Palace, he hurriedly took three steps and made two steps forward to salute.

"Aiqing is exempt, follow me into the house to drink tea!" Qin Shi Huang smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Wang Ben's hand and walked into the Zichen Palace.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not here to drink tea!" Wang Ben spoke emotionally.

"I know Aiqing's intention, no need to be anxious, drink tea first and then speak slowly, come to someone, and have tea with Tongwu Hou~"

Qin Shi Huang took Wang Ben into the seat, and after the palace maid offered fragrant tea and retreated, Wang Ben's mood calmed down slightly, and he didn't drink tea and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, today I heard that the Marquis of Qinghe played in the court, and Yan Li'er instructed the generals to destroy the Li Mu Temple at Yanmen Pass, killing and injuring hundreds of local civilians, Ben still didn't know about it, so I specially asked Your Majesty to arrange for the forbidden army to go to Li'er and many participating generals to arrest and take them back to Xianyang for interrogation!" ”

Qin Shi Huang took a sip of the teacup and drank it silently, put down the teacup, shook his head indifferently and said: "The Marquis of Wucheng guarded the northern land for me, and there was no mistake in a few years, although this matter is a little reckless, but it is not too much of a fault, it is not necessary to arrange for the forbidden army to arrest and return to the capital to ask for the guilt, I let the inner servant and the imperial history go to reprimand a few words, for the dead and injured people, I will let the local government give some compensation, and the matter will be settled, the general does not need to be too nervous, not to mention that the Zuo Xiang is not deliberately targeting the Marquis of Wucheng, Instead, they are worried that this incident will arouse the anger of the people in Zhao and cause a civil uprising......"

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed wrong, Li Mu and the minister's father are famous generals in the same period, not to mention the battle of the Six Kingdoms, its resistance to the Xiongnu greatly increased the prestige of the Central Plains of our Central Plains, not only won the respect of the people of Zhao, even the father admired it, and Li Mu has been dead for more than ten years, it is really disrespectful to destroy his temple statues, and it is very unwise to anger the people of Zhaodi, once there is a disaster in Zhaodi, Li'er is a crime on a crime, and the minister knows that His Majesty cherishes my Wang father and son, but the current national law, how can the minister bend the law for personal gain because of His Majesty's generosity, Please also ask Your Majesty to cure the crime of leaving your son to calm the anger of the people of Zhaodi! Wang Peng anxiously requested.

Qin Shi Huang slowly put down the teacup, looked at the globe that was still slowly turning, and shook his head after a long time: "The general has just died, and I punished the Marquis of Wucheng for a small mistake, and I will inevitably end up with a name of indifference, not to mention that the people of Zhao are not very subservient, and there are temples everywhere to worship Li Mu and other former Zhao generals, and it is also difficult for local officials to implement the court decrees. I will inevitably crush these bandits into meat sauce and mess with my Great Qin, I will punish them! ”

Wang Ben quickly knelt down and choked up: "Your Majesty treats my Wang family as kind as a mountain, but in this matter, Your Majesty must not raise a small trouble and become a big trouble, and do not raise a sword soldier in vain, if Your Majesty tolerates the mistakes of Li'er and the generals, the people of the Six Kingdoms will be dissatisfied, if this makes Daqin fall into turmoil, the Wang family will die and cannot be redeemed, and the minister implores His Majesty to issue an order to arrest Li'er and punish him severely!" ”

"It's rare for Tongwu Hou to enter the palace, yesterday Shi Yan sent some flower cakes, very delicious and delicious, today is just to share with me, go, accompany me to the back garden!" Qin Shi Huang walked up to Wang Ben and bent down to help Wang Ben up.

"Your Majesty~" Wang Ben was even more anxious, not only did he not get up, but kowtowed to the ground, "Your Majesty please arrest and punish Li'er!" ”

Qin Shi Huang slowly straightened up, walked to the center of the hall with his hands in his hands, looked at the vast snow rolling and fluttering outside the window, and said with a long breath: "I know what the Marquis of Tongwu is worried about, but I am not a person of affection, how can I punish the Marquis of Wucheng for a trivial matter, originally I thought that this matter would be eliminated after a delay for a while, but I didn't want Yang Tongjie to have branches, alas......"

"Your Majesty, the law of the Great Qin is strict, the princes will be incomprehensible, my father has repeatedly taught Ben to have a sense of awe, so His Majesty appreciates the expedition to Lingnan, Pingxiang clan cut Baiyue, dare not have a little errand, so as not to spoil Your Majesty's big things, Li'er is young and ignorant, and has made such a big mistake, the minister thinks that he must not be tolerated, otherwise he will develop a more arrogant and arrogant atmosphere in the long run, and it is very unfavorable to govern the army, His Majesty cherishes Li'er and is unwilling to arrange for the imperial history to ask for guilt, and the minister is willing to go to Yanmen in person, at least to reprimand him fiercely, Otherwise, I am afraid that the civil and military officials and the people of the world will be resentful...... "Wang Bendi continued to plead.

Qin Shi Huang tugged at his beard and was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and nodded slightly: "Since the Marquis of Tongwu insists on this, it is okay, I will arrange for the Marquis of Tongwu to go to the military camp in the north in person, remember to reprimand, not too harsh, and for the Yanmen Pass guard and Guangwu County to arrest the Jingshi Xianyang to punish the crime and be angry with the people!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Ben got up from the ground, and his face instantly became much more relaxed.

Wang Jian Wang Ben in the conquest of the Six Kingdoms after the father and son went home together to retire, at that time Wang Ben was only more than forty years old, in the prime of life, many generals who participated in the conquest of the Six Kingdoms are in the court, but the father and son two rapids bravely retreated without asking about military and political affairs, the mastermind of this matter is Wang Qian, often Dun Dun taught Wang Ben to have a sense of awe, must not be proud of the merit so as not to be suspicious of the emperor.

Wang's father and son retired, the emperor enabled Wang Li, at the age of twenty he was transferred to his palace as a military attaché, during which he continued to reward knights, and then conquered Donghu and forcibly promoted him to the Marquis of Che by cheating means, and appointed a general in charge of tens of thousands of elite horsemen in charge of the Northern Army.

The emperor's Enlong for the three generations of the Wang family can be said to be unmatched in the entire Great Qin.

But even so, Wang Jian still didn't dare to be a little careless, and kept telling Wang Ben to be cautious at all times and not to be arrogant, but for his grandson, he was already a little powerless.

Now that Wang Jian is dead, there is no one to restrain Wang Li except Wang Ben, and Wang Ben is also extremely worried that his son will continue like this, which will bring disaster to the Wang family.

And Wang Ben knew that the purpose of the punishment was not because of Wang Li's mistakes, but because of Chen Xu, the Marquis of Qinghe.

The relationship between the Wang family and the Marquis of Qinghe has always been good, and even Chen Xu saved Wang Qian's life, if it wasn't for Chen Xu's rescue, Wang Jian might have died five years ago.

And in the whole world, the only one who can make the Wang family awe-inspiring except for the emperor is Chen Xu, because Chen Xu's identity is really impossible for ordinary people to compete head-on, and the name of the immortal disciple is enough to shine on the entire Great Qin, so that people dare not have any resentment.

Moreover, the Marquis of Qinghe directly shook out this matter in the court without informing the emperor in advance, and he must have planned to expose this matter to the world, whether he wants to kill chickens and monkeys to establish his authority, or whether he, as the left minister, wants to thoroughly investigate this matter and appease the people of Zhaodi, since this matter has been torn apart, there must be a very clear result.

At present, the emperor is unwilling to punish Wang Li, and wants to use the Yanmen Pass and Guangwu County Order to take the pot, but in Wang Ben's opinion, this is far from enough, Chen Xu is definitely not this purpose, he firmly remembers the instructions of his father Wang Qian, Wang needs to be low-key and low-key, and must not have any conflict with the Marquis of Qinghe, because Wang Jian can see the first emperor clearly, but he can't see Chen Xu clearly, and he is still thinking about this question before he dies, but Chen Xu didn't answer him positively, and he ended up in a situation where he couldn't see it.

If Wang Li's matter is not handled well, it may cause confrontation and contradictions between the Wang family and the Marquis of Qinghe, and Wang Ben does not dare to guarantee that the Marquis of Qinghe will show any backhand.

Although he was not afraid, he had to be in awe.
