Chapter 43 The Imperial Discussion

Seeing Qin Shi Huang again, Li Qing still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, this emperor of the ages, the ancestral dragon of China, who had mixed achievements in later generations, sat in front of him like this, and the excitement was really indescribable.

This is the first time Li Qing was officially received by Qin Shi Huang in front of a hundred officials, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military respectively stood on both sides of the hall, the head of the civil officials on the right is an old man with a white beard, he is called Li Si, is the prime minister of the Qin State, and the head of the military generals on the left is vacant, it is said that this is the position left by Qin Shi Huang to Tu Sui, and now Tu Sui has not returned to the south of the hundred Yue, so it has been vacant.

The second in line among the generals was a middle-aged man with a majestic complexion, his eyes slightly closed, and the corners of his mouth always had a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Later, Li Qing learned that this person was Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, that is, the son of the current head of the Wang family and the famous general Wang Qian.

The officials of the Qin Dynasty had a seat to kneel and sit in the court, and Li Qing was very satisfied with this, at least he didn't have to stand all the time.

To Li Qing's surprise, Meng Yi actually stood in the position of a civil official, and he was the third, originally Li Qing thought that Meng Yi should be a martial artist, after all, the Meng family is a martial heirloom.

Meng Yi, when Li Qing first knew that Meng Yi was the legendary Meng Yi, Li Qing was very surprised, because the historical record of Meng Yi is very vague, only knowing that he was Meng Tian's younger brother, who was killed by Zhao Gao after the death of Qin Shi Huang, and most of the Meng family were killed by Zhao Gao, which can be described as very miserable.

What really made Li Qing understand Meng Yi was from a movie, in which Meng Yi can be described as strong in martial arts, and he also has a singing and crying love story with Qin Shihuang's concubine, and I don't know if these things are true or false.

Li Qing was distracted, and suddenly felt someone approaching him, so he hurriedly looked up, only to see a slightly fat eunuch holding a tray with a bottle of wine on it, looking at Li Qing with a smile.

This chubby eunuch is called Zhao Gao, the order of the CRRC government, that is, the great eunuch Zhao Gao who later referred to the deer as a horse and buried the Great Qin Jiangshan.

Zhao Gao looked at Li Qing and said, "The wine is Li Qing, Your Majesty heard that you fought the evil tiger and killed the black bear with a sword, and gave you a glass of imperial wine as a reward." ”

Li Qing had already known today's process from Meng Yi before entering the palace, so he immediately bowed deeply, thanked Qin Shi Huang, and then held the wine bottle with both hands and drank all the imperial wine in the bottle in one gulp.

After drinking the wine, Li Qing put the wine bottle back on the plate, and Zhao Gao took it away, and carefully said in Zhao Gao's ear: "Thank you, Father-in-law Zhao." ”

Zhao Gao's originally smiling face showed a hint of astonishment, but he quickly returned to normal, just looking at Li Qing's eyes, there was a different look.

Li Qing knew that this Zhao Gao would be a high-ranking power in the future, so he felt that it was necessary to curry favor with Zhao Gao, at least, so that Zhao Gao would not be embarrassed by himself.

After receiving the reward, Li Qing retreated to the last position among the civil officials and stood aside.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne, waved his hand, and the hundred officials began to salute, and after the salute, they each returned to their positions and knelt down.

Li Qing's location was close to the palace gate, this place, basically Qin Shi Huang couldn't see clearly, and he could only faintly see a few black shadows.

"Your Majesty, General Tu Sui has sent good news, the Southern Expedition army defeated the Baiyue coalition army, beheaded 100,000 enemies, and beheaded the leader of the Xiou tribe Yihu Song, and now our army has attacked Panyu, and it will be possible to pacify Baiyue in a few days."

Among the military attachés, a middle-aged military general with a ruddy face came out and handed the battle report of Lingnan to a eunuch and presented it to Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng looked at the battle report and was very satisfied, the land of Great Qin has expanded again, and for an emperor, opening up the territory and expanding the territory is the greatest achievement.

Li Qing sat in the back, and after hearing the news, a trace of doubt welled up in his heart, because in Li Qing's impression, the army of Great Qin conquered Baiyue until the fall of the Qin Dynasty, and never returned to the Central Plains.

Next, there are all kinds of performances, there are people rioting, there are also prisoners fleeing, although it is only a few words, but Li Qing still sees a lot of crises in Daqin, it is easy to unify the country, but it is too difficult to unify the people's hearts.

"Your Majesty, General Meng Tian sent a battle report, our army and the Xiongnu army fought in Hetao, the Xiongnu army was defeated, lost more than 1,000 horsemen, and fled back to the outside of the Saiwai."

Meng Tian's northern expedition to the Xiongnu also came with good news, but Li Qing heard that the Huns were only more than 1,000 horsemen, and couldn't help but show a trace of strangeness, compared with Tu Sui's 100,000 enemies, Meng Tian's record can be said to be a little unbeatable.

But to Li Qing's surprise, after hearing the news that Meng Tian had killed more than a thousand Hun cavalry, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty showed excited looks, and it seemed that Meng Tian's record was even more dazzling than Tu Sui's.

It turns out that in the eyes of Daqin officials, Baiyue is just some uncivilized natives, no different from beasts, under the attack of the elite division of Daqin, the number of casualties is taken for granted, but the Huns are different, the existence of the Huns, from beginning to end, are like a sharp blade hanging beside Daqin, Qin Shi Huang is the reason why he wantonly built the Great Wall, is because of the existence of the Huns.

Ying Zheng learned that Meng Tian defeated the Xiongnu, but also very happy, now Li Qingjin sacrificed stirrups, saddles have been put into production, with the ability of the Great Qin craftsmen, every day a large number of stirrups, saddles are successfully made, put into use, and Qin Shi Huang has also sent the first batch of stirrups, saddles to Meng Tian's army, let him train a cavalry, only with the same cavalry as the Huns, can completely defeat the Huns.

Until Li Qing's stomach was already hungry, Daqin's court meeting finally ended, and the hundred officials began to leave in turn.

Meng Yi and Li Qing walked towards the outside of the palace together, and it could be seen that Meng Yi's status was extremely high, and he was extremely polite to him regardless of civil and military, Li Qing could even see that many people had a sense of fear of Meng Yi.

Meng Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Li, when you go back to the house later, Your Majesty will still have a reward, after you go back, take a bath and change your clothes first." ”

"And the reward?"

Li Qing originally thought that the cup of imperial wine just now was a reward, but he didn't expect that there would be other rewards.

Meng Yi smiled: "Of course, a warrior who can kill the evil tiger, how can His Majesty treat him badly." ”

"Yes, it's a pity that such warriors use it to make wine, why don't you go to the army with General Ben to experience it?"

Just as Li Qing and Meng Yi were talking, a rough voice interjected.

Li Qing looked back, and saw that it was a strong man with a dark face and a tiger's back.

Seeing the strong man, Meng Yi's face showed a trace of disdain, and said: "General Yan, even if Brother Li wants to go to the army, he doesn't have to bother you, you still have to take care of those little guys in your family, you drink and make trouble every day, this Xianyang City has been messed up by them, if Your Majesty is held accountable, I am afraid that you will not be able to afford it." ”
