Chapter 220: A Foolproof Solution
Half an hour later, the noon dynasty began, but after the last dynasty, Qin Shi Huang did not deal with government affairs as before, but took out a few pieces of hemp pulp paper and handed them to Jiang Heng next to him, "Jiang Fu Order, take these drawings to Ao Fu Order!" ”
"Huh~" Jiang Heng took a few pieces of hemp pulp paper, his hand trembled slightly, this paper is exactly the same as the one sent back by Jiangbei Pavilion, it seems to be from Qinghe Town, I don't know what is written on it?
When Jiang Heng handed a few drawings to Ao Ping, the craftsman Shaofu Ling, Ao Ping's face was both shocked and demented.
"Ao Fu Ling, these drawings are painted on a thing called a warm couch, built in the bedroom, and you can lie on it in winter to sleep peacefully, warm and comfortable, and you will no longer be awakened by freezing!" Qin Shi Huang explained lightly.
"And such magical things?"
"Ao Fu Ling, open it and take a look!"
"The old man is an old cold leg, and he is most afraid of cold winter and cold spring!"
"Yes, the old man is most afraid of the cold in winter and spring!"
The ministers kneeling on the top of the hall suddenly became excited, and those who were close to Ao Ping turned their heads to watch, and those who were far away couldn't wait to stretch their necks out of the giraffe, and the sound of ear to ear exchange was endless.
Although Daqin is very poor, food and clothing are scarce, but for the ministers above the hall is non-existent, the food at home can not be eaten, the cloth can not be worn out, the gold and jade jewelry are all things to play, it is not worth anything at all, but although the food and clothing are good, it does not mean that the winter is better, there are no down jackets, no eiderdown quilts, no cold-proof clothing, not even cotton, not to mention heaters, air conditioners and electric blankets, and there is a carbon stove for heating in the cold winter Layue home, which can only be enjoyed by the rich family, Because carbon is too expensive, but even if there is a carbon stove can be baked, but you can't always sleep with the carbon stove, so in winter, whether it is the emperor or the minister, you will often be frozen awake in the middle of the night, especially when the coldest time is dawn, the average person is directly in the bed to play the pendulum until you get up, and the situation in the northwest is even worse, the cold winter is long, sometimes it lasts for four or five months, it is really common for people to freeze to death in the cold winter, sometimes after a heavy snowfall, half of the village people are frozen to death is not strange.
Therefore, it is a difficulty for everyone to warm up and sleep in the cold winter, and now I suddenly heard the emperor say that there is such a thing as a warm couch, so they can't calm down, especially when they are about to enter the cold winter season, and some older ministers are still worried about whether they can carry this winter.
"Ao Fu Order, this drawing is not easy to come by, you don't have to participate in the noon today, quickly return to the house and arrange for someone to copy it in large quantities, the Lieutenant's Mansion is responsible for sending soldiers, and within half a month, this map will be spread to all counties in the northwest and the Central Plains, without delay and delay!"
"Oh~" Ao Ping and Lu Yan stood up at the same time.
"Where is the Shaofu Order?"
"The minister is here!" Shaofu ordered Changdu to stand up quickly.
"You will also go to the Ao Mansion Order to get a copy of this map later, and arrange the construction of all the winter dormitories in the harem without delay!"
"喏~"
"Where's the Inner History Order?"
"The minister is here!" Nei Shi made Qi Tang stand up.
"All the expenses of the Shangqing House to make warm beds are responsible for the Inner History Office, and they must not be refused without reason!"
"喏~"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Ronne!" All the top secretaries, including Li Si, bowed and bowed, and at the same time they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, it is not more than a month away from the cold winter, and the drawings for building the warm couch have not been seen, let alone what building materials are needed, and the whole Xianyang prince and prince are as many as a cow's hair, and if they build it later, not to mention that the craftsman can't find it, it is estimated that the stone can't be found, maybe the warm couch will be cold before it is repaired.
And everyone guessed this matter well, the craftsman made the Shaofu near the water and the building was the first to get the month, and many officials in the government had already obtained the construction drawings of the fire kang, and some people couldn't wait to arrange for the house slaves to find a stonemason to build the stone slab.
And during the noon dynasty, there have been countless soldiers riding fast horses in groups of three or five holding tokens roaring out of the four city gates of Xianyang, along the gallop and official roads to the ground of the Great Qin Empire galloping away, half a month to spread the construction drawings of the kang throughout the northwest and the Central Plains counties, this task is not small, now China's coldest and farthest Liaoxi Liaodong two counties, from Xianyang is more than 4,000 miles, even if the fast horse whip does not sleep endlessly, it will take nearly ten days to arrive, and the emperor's order is like a mountain, once the delivery is delayed, There will definitely be a large number of people on the ground, so neither the craftsman Shaofu Ling Ao Ping nor the lieutenant Lu Yan dare to be careless at all.
Before the end of the day, the noon dynasty dispersed.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers hurriedly got into the carriages of their respective servants to pick up people, and after a series of urgings, they quickly went to the craftsman Shaofu.
As a result, Xianyang, which has been very lively recently, has an unbelievable scene, and countless ministers are off work...... Well, after the dispersal of the dynasty, they did not go home, but desperately drank to speed up the carriage, so dozens of carriages on Xianyang Street you chase me like a racing car, each driving the coachman also did his best, the sound of driving, these carriages quickly rushed to the front of the palace of the craftsman Shaofu, the ministers in court clothes did not have time to wait for the carriage to stop and jumped off the car one by one to carry their clothes to the gate of the palace, the older the faster they ran.
But after running in, I found that the entire craftsman Shaofu had been guarded by a large number of soldiers armed with halberds and swords, and I saw a group of ministers rushing in breathlessly, and these soldiers were like facing a great enemy, and they all raised their halberds and swords one by one.
"Lu Huan, do you intend to rebel? Why don't you let me in? "An old man with a hair like snow and an old man who looks very old jumps angrily.
"Mrs. Gao is offended!" Standing on the seven steps, Lu Huan was dressed in golden armor and a golden helmet, looking like a golden statue in the afterglow of the setting sun, almost everyone who shook couldn't open their eyes, Lu Huan pressed the long sword on his waist and kept sneering: "Lu was appointed by His Majesty today to send the drawings of the warm bed to all the counties and counties of Daqin within fifteen days, the task is heavy, so no one can snatch the drawings with me today, please go back, come back early tomorrow morning!" ”
"How can this be reasonable, the warm couch drawings are given by His Majesty, and they are not your Lu Huan alone, if you don't let me in, I will definitely go to the palace tomorrow to visit you and impeach you for using power for personal gain!" Yu Shi Cheng Gao, who was over sixty years old and also had to be snow-white, was furious.
"Lu is afraid of you? If you dare to join me tomorrow, I will go to the back door of your house every night to let the dog go! Lu Hao pursed his lips and yelled, "If there is a trespasser, go out!" ”
"Huh~" Hundreds of soldiers snorted, brushed the halberds in their hands to the front, and suddenly a cold murderous aura rushed to their faces, and a group of panting ministers all instantly felt that the hairs on their bodies stood up, although they knew that these soldiers didn't dare to really do it, but everyone still trembled and took a few steps back, these vulgar soldiers are completely straight brain cancer, what if anyone misses?
Wang Jian has been home for two hours, and has been sitting in the study in a daze until the sky is dark, then he sighed slightly, walked out of the room and walked to the backyard, and then looked at an independent two-story small wooden building and stared for a long time before slowly walking over.
"Old General!" The two girls who looked almost identical under the wooden building hurriedly saluted.
"Sanniang is still upstairs?" Wang Jian nodded and asked softly.
"Yes, Sanniang hasn't gone downstairs for half a day!"
"You guys retreat first, and the old man will go up and have a look!"
"Yes~" The two girls in Tsing Yi retreated far away, Wang Jian walked into the room and climbed up the stairs to the second floor, stood at the door and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sleeve, grandpa came to see you!" ”
"Squeak~", the door opened, revealing a beautiful face, but the eye circles were slightly red, there seemed to be faint tear stains on the cheeks, and there was a strong smell of wine on the body.
"Sleeve, have you drunk?" Wang Jian couldn't help frowning.
The girl nodded indifferently, slowly turned around and sat on the bed, picked up a bottle of Qinghe wine and took another big sip on her lips, and instantly a blush rose on her cheeks, and at the same time, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Looking at this situation, Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh again, sat next to the girl and stretched out his hand to touch her hair and said: "Sleeve, this matter has become a foregone conclusion, grief is useless, today grandpa entered the palace to meet the emperor, His Majesty has promised to accept you as a righteous daughter, give you the surname Zhao, and seal Princess Qingning, you will be a royal person in the future, you must not act like in the past, and you must not ...... again"
"Grandpa, I don't want to be a princess?" The girl wiped her tears and said.
"Your Majesty has a plan for this matter, and grandpa can't do anything about it, in fact, it's okay, once your identity becomes a princess, looking at Daqin, who else dares to laugh at you, and Your Majesty also promised to find another good match for you to be a husband......"
"Woo ......" The girl suddenly came from sadness, threw herself into Wang Qian's arms and cried, "Grandpa, why is Sleeve so hard, my mother died early, and now even the emperor has been unable to get along with me, why did he want to marry me to Zhao Zhe, now Zhao Zhe is broken, he wants me to be a princess again, and he wants to help me find a husband again, Sleeve Er doesn't want to live!" ”
Frightened, Wang Jian was startled, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't think nonsense, Your Majesty was also good for you at the beginning!" ”
"It's not for my good, but I want to tie our Wang family and the Zhao family together, and I'm not stupid!" The girl lay in Wang Qian's arms and cried, and her body trembled.
"Sleeve, don't say this outside in the future, my Wang family's merits are too great, and I have long been suspicious of the ministers, otherwise my father and I would not have been disarmed so early and returned to the field without asking about military politics, Your Majesty is now prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, as long as my Wang family is more respectful, it will naturally be safe and sound, food and clothing will be worry-free, if the news of your search for death and life spreads, my Wang family will inevitably be in trouble!" Wang Jian helplessly advised and persuaded.
"It's a provincial sleeve, but my heart is very uncomfortable, I heard that it was Zuo Xiang Li Si who persuaded Zhao Gao to dissolve the marriage between Zhao Zhe and the third lady of the Jiang family, why did he do this? Why do you want to hurt me, now I don't dare to go out half a step all day, for fear of being laughed at and embarrassing my grandfather and father! ”
"Grandpa and your father are not afraid of embarrassment, but it is difficult for you to be wronged, so let's do it, tomorrow I will arrange for someone to go to Nanyang County again, and you will also go to relax, there are a lot of fun things in Qinghe Town, the food is also very delicious, the villagers are simple and indisputable, then Chen Xu and you are not much different in age, and the conversation and behavior are different, you can exchange your heart and soul when the time comes......"
"Grandpa, is Chen Xu the ...... of Zhao Zhe The murderer who killed and injured Zhao Zhe? The girl sat up and asked.
"It's not that he killed or injured him, it's just that he is just a casual person who has nothing to do with him!" Wang Jian seemed to guess the girl's thoughts, so he hurriedly explained.
"Okay, grandpa, I'll follow me to Qinghe Town tomorrow, and I won't hear anyone laughing at me if I leave far away!" The girl wiped away her tears and stood up.
Looking at her granddaughter's slim and slender body that is more slender than a man, Wang Jian was a little dizzy, I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse, but let her continue to stay in Xianyang, I really don't know if she won't want to seek death, Zhao Zhe's matter is now in a uproar, and the whole Xianyang City knows that how can an untrained girl resist so many gossips and let her granddaughter go to Qinghe Town, Wang Jian has both a glimmer of hope and a little worry.
That water is gentle He has seen, whether it is appearance or martial arts, it is much stronger than his granddaughter, and the identity of Liezi's disciple makes him dare not be careless, Liezi's disciple is a person who seeks immortals and asks, and he is different from a reckless man like him who fights in the mortal world, not to mention Chen Xu's identity and origin, the mystery is a mess, even His Majesty the Emperor does not dare to touch it easily, so he can only secretly send people to investigate slowly.
After comforting his granddaughter, a stone in Wang Qian's heart also fell to the ground slightly, and he returned to his residence to summon a group of his own personal guards, all of whom were young and strong strong men, all of whom were selected from the most brave Qin army, and Wang Wu and Wang Qi, who had just returned, were also among them, but at this time the expressions of the two looked very decadent.
"The old man needs to pick out a few of you to complete a task, who is willing to go!" Wang Jian is as imposing as a tiger.
"The old general commanded, we are willing to go to the soup and go to the ground!"
With a bang, more than a dozen guards knelt down on one knee together.
"Okay, worthy of being the best son of my Wang family, this task seems simple, but it is not simple, that is, to go to Qinghe Town, Pheasant County, Nanyang County, and be responsible for protecting Chen Xu!"
"Huh?" Just when many of the guards didn't know who Chen Xu was for some reason, Wang Wu and Wang Qi couldn't shake their words anymore, and jumped up together and hugged their fists and said, "Old general, I'm ...... I'm willing to go! ”
"You just returned yesterday, you are tired from the journey, and your injuries have not fully recovered, so you should stay in Xianyang to recuperate first!" Wang Jian was a little surprised, but at the same time a little moved, originally Wang Wu and Wang Qi came back this time, he planned to arrange some simple errands in the house, and he didn't have to follow him to be born and die in the future, but he didn't expect that although the two were injured, they still worked hard to jump out first.
"Old general, I don't have to work hard or tired, not to mention that the two of us are familiar with that Chen Xu, and I won't be suspicious by him if I go, I will only think that you specially arranged it, so it is convenient for personal protection!" Wang Wu hurriedly said.
"Well, this is reasonable, count the two of you, but you have to practice more swords, look at you, I haven't seen you for more than a month, I have gained a circle, how to hold the sword in the future, and there are three, who wants to ......"
"Old general, I'm going to go!" The four guards who followed Wang Jian to Qinghe Town last time stood up at the same time, and all of them had incomparable excitement and yearning on their faces.
Wang Jian seemed to understand a little at this time, and his snow-white beard and eyebrows jumped lightly a few times, and he said helplessly: "Okay, just the six of you go together, the others are scattered!" ”
"Oh~" A group of guards dispersed in twos and threes, leaving only six people.
"This is a task arranged by His Majesty, you go to Qinghe Town, you must always pay attention to protecting Chen Xu, and you must not let him miss anything!"
"喏~"
"By the way, tomorrow Qingsleeve will go with him, and he will take good care of him on the way, and don't cause trouble after he goes to Qinghe Town!"
"Old general, Sanniang...... Sanniang will go together, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it! One of the guards said with a bitter look on his face.
"You are only responsible for safety, life is naturally taken care of by maids, this leather armor bow and arrow must be carried completely, I will also arrange a team of people in Wancheng to answer secretly, if there is something urgent, you can go to Wancheng with a token for help, no matter what the reason, Chen Xu is not allowed to have anything, you understand?"
"Don't worry, general, we will definitely complete the task!" Six people clasped their fists together and saluted.
Early the next morning, Wang Jian hurried into the palace.
Qin Shi Huang, who was preparing to go to the court, listened to Wang Qian's story and said in a slight silence: "That's fine, let her go to relax first, Zongzheng Mansion can also make a little arrangement, the old general said yesterday I have verified with Dr. Meng Yi, he does not know how his son went to Qinghe Town to rob the paper, among which the insider I have arranged for Xuanwuwei to secretly investigate, whether this matter is picked up or accidental, I am not allowed to appear again, and please keep it secret for the time being, so as not to leak the news!" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister doesn't dare to gossip!"
"The old general I am naturally relieved, but I didn't expect that Zhao Zhe was so brave and dared to go into the mountains alone to suppress bandits, although he was injured, his courage was commendable, but he just let Sanniang suffer grievances, I never thought that the time for the last dynasty has come, and I will talk to the old general after I finish dealing with government affairs!"
"Old minister, send your majesty!" Wang Jian saluted and watched Qin Shi Huang go away with a few palace people and Xuanjia guards, and then he left the palace and went home with a slightly ugly face.
What Zhao Zhe did in Nanyang, under the cover of a group of officials in Nanyang Mansion, made a real case, although Wang Jian already knew everything about it, but this matter is too big, if it is poked out, the entire Nanyang County will be rolling, he is now old, and he is less and less interested in these messy things, and he does not want to participate in it, not to mention that he has now been disarmed and returned to the field, and the matter of the court is too deep, I am afraid that it will cause endless trouble, and when he was in Nanyang, Nanyang County Shou Ma Boyuan and the county lieutenant Gao Yan and others also begged bitterly, Wang Jian softened, He suppressed this matter, and did not tell Qin Shi Huang when he came back, so Qin Shi Huang always thought that Zhao Zhe was injured by the bandits when he was suppressing bandits, so he also praised it very much, if there is no accident, it is likely that after he recovers from his injuries, he may also reward the official and enter the knighthood.
Although this matter seems to end here, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging, that Zhao Gao not only injured his son, but also was removed from the CRRC government, and he will definitely not give up, the court is intertwined, if you guess well, now even the Meng family is involved, the waves are gradually unpredictable, I didn't expect to go to Nanyang, and the Wang family was also involved.
The best way to do this is to explain this matter thoroughly to the emperor.
Communicate with the mountain bandits to rob taxes and grain, the most important thing is to frame Chen Xu, which is definitely the most intolerable for His Majesty, so once the emperor knows, anyone involved in this matter, including Zhao Zhe, will be beheaded, which will lead to hundreds of heads in different places, but from this, the Wang family will be hated by countless officials in the dynasty, even if there is a place where the great Qin is almost established, the peace and tranquility that he finally fought for the Wang family will be completely broken, and there will be no more peace.
But if you don't talk about it, this matter will definitely not disappear, and the disadvantages will only accumulate more and more, and maybe it will suddenly erupt one day, so you must think of a foolproof plan to keep the Wang family from falling too deep.
Wang Jian returned to the house with a gloomy face, at this time Wang Wu and others had already packed up the carriage and horses, three double-bridled carriages, six guards were all neatly draped, riding high-headed horses, and a few empty horses carrying some things to eat and drink on the road, Wang Jian said a few words again, called Queen Sun Qingsleeves and the maid to get on the car and set off, a large group of people from the Wang family came out to see each other, and after the convoy disappeared, a gray-haired old woman returned to the room with tears in her eyes, looking at Wang Jian who was sitting on the chair in a daze and said: "Husband, The sleeves are gone, and I'm afraid that the cold clothes festival will not come back. ”
Wang Jian nodded and sighed after being silent for a long time and said: "Madam, don't blame me, I have tried my best in this matter, it doesn't matter if I can't come back, this Xianyang is now in a mess, which makes me feel haggard, after the Qin Chu war, I feel more and more powerless, I'm afraid that the old man's time is running out!" ”
"Husband, don't scare me!" The old woman hurriedly sat down and took Wang Qian's hand.
"Hehe, Mrs. rest assured, this year's cold winter will definitely be able to survive, and when the warm couch is repaired, you will definitely sleep peacefully at night, this trip to Nanyang County, there are dead corpses of slaves everywhere along the road, I can't bear to see it, I think the old man has fought countless battles in his life, killing people, and the blood drops in his hands should not be like this, but after coming back this time, as long as I close my eyes every day, there are countless souls rushing to cough cough......"
Wang Jian suddenly coughed violently a few times, and opened his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of blood.
"Husband!" The old woman was frightened and quickly stood up.
"Madame don't need to panic, the last time I went to Qinghe Town, I met a tiger, the old man was happy to hunt for a while, and drank some wine, so he went to kill the tiger, the exercise was too vigorous and caused the old sores, I brought some pills when I came back from Qinghe Town, help me take some to take, and the bamboo tube has Jinchuang Pill written on it!"
"Okay~" The old woman hurriedly went to get the medicine, and when Wang Jian reached out to get the water cup, she suddenly fell down with a shake of her body.
Half an hour later, above the main hall of the Xianyang Palace, a palace man hurriedly entered from the back hall, whispered a few words in the ear of Jiang Heng of the CRRC Mansion, Jiang Heng's face changed greatly, and then walked to Qin Shi Huang and whispered: "Your Majesty, I just received an urgent report from the Tongwu Marquis Mansion, and the general Jian Jiu has relapsed and is seriously ill and is speechless, I am afraid that time is running out!" ”
"What?" Qin Shi Huang suddenly got up, waved his big sleeves and scattered the court, and then hurriedly walked into the apse.
