In the scorching summer, the emperor drove from the Julu Sand Dune Palace and toured south, swept through the East County, traveled to the Gui County, went down to Huaiyang, entered the South County, and began to Changsha Xiang Palace.

In the Xiang Palace, Ying Zheng is reviewing the folds. The black wooden case in front of him was full of recitals from all over the country, although there were many of them, but he looked at them patiently.

"Your Majesty."

Li Si walked in, looking at the diligent and focused Yingzheng, he sincerely admired it in his heart.

Your Majesty has been like a day for decades, everything must be done personally, this kind of self-control, this kind of diligence, who in the world can match?

"Give a seat."

Ying Zheng still watched the twists and turns in his hands and said unhurriedly.

Soon the two chamberlains came over with a four-cornered wooden chair and placed it in front of Li Si.

Li Sileng sighed, what is this?

After sitting down, leaning back on the back of the chair, Li Si was amazed in his heart, this thing is wonderful!

It was really unbearable to be curious, and Li Si said softly: "Your Majesty, who is this thing from?" What a masterpiece! ”

"Far away, close at hand."

Ying Zheng looked at the twists and turns, and said mysteriously.

"Huh? Is this out of the hands of His Majesty? Your Majesty is not only a scholar and a martial artist, but also a knowledgeable and artistic! ”

Li Si is not a sycophant, kneeling is certainly easier than standing, but after kneeling for a long time, his legs hurt unbearably.

Minister of the DPRK and China, which leg does not have a little problem?

This thing sits on it, not only is it stable, especially the back block, but it is also a stroke of genius, and it is extremely comfortable.

"Less sycophants, what's the matter?"

Ying Zheng put down the fold in his hand and looked at Li Sidao.

"Your Majesty, after Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo received a heavy reward from Your Majesty, they were very happy to accept the edict, and they had already left for Xiang Palace three days ago to see the driver and receive the seal, and they should be there soon."

After Li Si finished speaking, there was a look on his face that he wanted to say and stopped, and finally sighed.

"What? If you have something to say, why bother to spit out. ”

Ying Zheng took in Li Si's expression and scolded.

"Your Majesty, Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo have meritorious service in pacifying South Vietnam, rewarding gold and silver treasures, beautiful cloth brocade, and adding officials to the knighthood? Is it wrong to rip the ground and seal the king? ”

Li Si didn't know what His Majesty was crazy about, he finally discouraged His Majesty's plan to divide the kings, why did he suddenly have to self-destruct all his previous efforts.

Once this head is opened, is this worth it?

On merit? The old general Wang Jian swept Liuhe, shocked the world, and made great contributions to the empire, or was he crowned the king?

Meng Tian is brave and good at fighting, the battle of the Six Kingdoms is also brilliant, the Xiongnu captured the Hetao region in one battle, and the name shocked the Quartet, whether he was crowned the king or not?

There are also many princes and nobles, royal relatives, and many sons, whether they are crowned kings or not?

Since then, it has finally ended the 500-year Spring and Autumn Melee, isn't it a waste of previous achievements?

It won't be long before I am afraid that there will be another spring and autumn period, which will destroy the lives of the people and cause chaos in the world......

"Li Xiang thinks I'm old, I'm deaf, and I'm not doing it properly?"

Ying Zheng's expression was not good, his voice was indifferent, and he asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister lost his words, please ask Your Majesty to surrender."

Li Si hurriedly got up from the chair, knelt down in panic, and pleaded guilty.

"Go down."

Ying Zheng said coldly, and then waved his hand, looking like he didn't need to say much.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister retires."

Li Si bowed, and then slowly retreated, feeling even more melancholy and lost in his heart.

His Majesty no longer seems to believe in himself, and after Li Si left, he has always had this feeling in his heart, and he has suffered from gains and losses.

Looking at Li Si's distant back, Ying Zheng showed a sneer, then retracted his gaze, recovered his expressionless face and said, "Meng Yi." ”

"The minister is here."

Meng Yi, the secretary who guarded Yingzheng, hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"Are you ready for what I told you?"

Ying Zheng showed a solemn expression, looked at Meng Yi and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister promises that nothing will go wrong, but it is just ......"

Meng Yi said this, a little hesitant.

"Say."

A word popped out of Ying Zheng's mouth coldly.

"Ren Huan, Zhao Tuo has great power, will this provoke a mutiny?"

Meng Yi looked worried and said cautiously.

"I have my own arrangements, the sound of this jade cup shattering is a signal, don't hesitate for half a minute."

Ying Zheng was categorical, and his tone could not be refused.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister understands."

When Meng Yi heard His Majesty say this, his heart suddenly settled and said respectfully.

"The Meng family has been loyal to Daqin for generations, Meng Tian is a peerless general, and you are also brilliant. I am very pleased to have your brother Meng Tian as my commander outside Daqin, and you Meng Yi as my ruler inside. ”

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi and said meaningfully.

Meng Yi was shocked in his heart, Your Majesty is trying to put himself on the throne?

Lees fell out of favor?

Meng Yi is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, otherwise how could he worship Shangqing and always accompany the holy driver.

"Your Majesty, the minister never has this thought, Li Xiang is a genius in governing the world, and the minister is willing to serve His Majesty all the time, and he has never thought of wrongdoing."

Meng Yi hurriedly bowed his head and bowed, and politely refused.

"The Meng family has long been a very popular minister because of Meng Tian, and he is a famous family in the Great Qin. Are you worried that I will be jealous of the Meng family? ”

Ying Zheng was not angry, with a pair of blazing eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts, and said directly.

"Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, not a mediocre lord who is jealous of the virtuous."

Meng Yi shook his head and said sincerely.

"In that case, what are you afraid of?"

Ying Zheng showed displeasure, and his voice was deafening.

"Your Majesty, the three generations of the Montessori have served Qin, and they are full of loyalty. His Majesty trusted Montessori, and Meng Yi was grateful. It is precisely because His Majesty is not a mediocre lord that Meng Yi has to avoid suspicion, his brother is a very human minister, and he holds more than half of the elite divisions of Great Qin, everyone in the world can do this phase, but I can't do it. ”

Meng Yi spoke righteously, very frankly, and knelt down to say.

"Let's talk about it later!"

Ying Zheng saw that Meng Yi was so reasonable, and he was very satisfied.

"Your Majesty."

Meng Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as a courtier, not the higher the power, the better, if he didn't know how to advance or retreat, he might one day incur a catastrophe of extermination.

Maybe Your Majesty is eloquent and trusts Montessori, but after all, Your Majesty is old, how long can he still govern?

Decade?

Or twenty years?

To say something rebellious, one day, Your Majesty will let go of the immortals, and at that time, the prince will succeed to the throne, how will the Meng family deal with themselves?

Can the new emperor still favor Montessori like His Majesty?

"The decree was drafted, and the edict was passed on, all the projects were stopped, and all the 700,000 criminals in the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum moved south to Changsha, and Zhang Han was escorted by Wuguan Zhonglang. The whole country collected the yellow grass, and the Xiao thatch grass [wormwood] was transported to Changsha County, and the offenders were killed by the three tribes. ”

Ying Zheng's words changed, and after speaking, he picked up the recital again and looked at it.

Meng Yi was relieved, and the imperial mausoleum was not built?

Afang Palace also stopped?

The spirit ditch is not dug anymore?

Roads are not being built?

Your Majesty, what are you going to do here?

What is that yellow grass?

Xiao Mao knew that this grass was not uncommon.

"Your Majesty? What is Yellow Grass? ”

Meng Yi was ashamed in his heart, and he had no choice but to ask shamelessly.

Ying Zheng picked up a roll of cloth brocade from the table, and Meng Yi immediately stepped forward to take it, looking at His Majesty in bewilderment.

"Just open it and see."

Ying Zheng said casually, without raising his head, still looking at the folds.

Meng Yi seemed to open the brocade in his hand, looked at the pattern painted on it, and suddenly showed a look of surprise.

It has been standing proudly, like the green grass rising from the ground in the pavilion is lifelike, and there is a feature introduction below, looking at the handwriting should be written by His Majesty himself.

The stem is round, the whole plant is about three inches long, and the surface is yellowish-red or green, and it is smooth. There are two longitudinal brown stripes on both sides of the leaf scar, which are slightly raised and extend downward, which are easy to break.

The single leaves are alternate, often curly and brittle, the complete leaves are lanceolate when unfolded, glabrous on both sides, the upper surface is yellow-red or dark green, and the lower surface is reddish-yellow or gray-green.

The fruit is yellow and red, the species is small, the gas is slight, and the taste is slightly bitter.

It is commonly found in Ba County, Shu County, Qian County, Dian County, and Pei County of Surabaya, with deep mountains and deep ravines, and vertical and horizontal slopes and valleys.

After reading it, Meng Yi was completely confused, Your Majesty even knows this?

"Your Majesty, Xiao Mao [wormwood] has heard of it, and it has the name of stinky grass, but what is this yellow grass?"

He knew very well that these words should not be asked, but Meng Yi couldn't bear the curiosity and doubts in his heart, and asked in a low voice.

"When it comes in handy, you will naturally know, and now do your part."

Ying Zheng didn't plan to explain, but said lightly.

Meng Yi smiled a little bitterly in his heart, he was indeed too curious, and hurriedly said, "The minister respectfully follows His Majesty's teachings." ”

"Where is Meng Tian?"

Ying Zheng finished reading the last recital, stood up, and moved his hands and feet.

"Back to Your Majesty, my brother entrusted the important task of the border pass to General Wang Li a month ago, and there should be no big problem if he has a prince to supervise the army."

"In order to hide people's eyes, my brother only took a few riders to travel lightly, day and night, and calculated the itinerary should be able to see the driver in these two days."

Meng Yi didn't dare to say too much, and gave an approximate time.

"Meng Tian is thoughtful, the Hu people are ambitious, and after I completely stabilize the southern Xinjiang, I will free up my hands and clean up these Hu people."

Ying Zheng's eyes are deep, and his words are generous and powerful.

"Your Majesty is Shengming, eloquent and strategic, the Great Qin Empire is powerful in all directions in the hands of Your Majesty, and its national strength is thriving.

"At that time, the four seas will be peaceful, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and Your Majesty will be praised by all generations of history."

Meng Yi said from the bottom of his heart, His Majesty's achievements are visible to everyone in the world.

Sweep Liuhe, so that the common people in the world are far away from the flames of war and the suffering of displacement.

Repair the spiritual canal, build roads, open up wasteland and expand territory, attack the Xiongnu in the north, and set Baiyue in the south, so that the Great Qin Empire is unprecedentedly prosperous.

The three emperors and five emperors, but the people of the Yellow River, the glory of summer, but also to resist the barbarians, the brilliance of the Shang, but also to drive the barbarians to suppress the Yi, based on the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The prosperity of Zhou is only Dingding Kyushu, and the land outside the square is beyond the reach of the whip.

Only I, Daqin, first destroy Xirong, and then punish the southern barbarians, and only Donghu and Beidi are left in Siyi, and they dare not block the might of my Daqin.

Your Majesty's eloquence and strategy, perhaps the Siyi, which has plagued China for thousands of years, will be wiped out in the present era and become the dust of history!

From Ying Zheng's words, Meng Yi felt the king's will.

Jin Ge Iron Horse, Yellow Sand Plain, Black King Banner will never stop, where the sun and moon shine, where the rivers go, they will all become the territory of Great Qin.

"It's just a false name, why should others judge my merits? If I die one day, who in the vast world really understands my hard work for Daqin? ”

Ying Zheng turned around, his eyes looked at the map of the mountains and rivers of the Great Qin Empire hanging on the wall, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

"Your Majesty, the country is consoling, General Zhao Tuo has arrived, and he is asking to see him outside the palace."

At this moment, an attendant walked in and said to Yingzheng.

Is it finally here?

"Xuan."

Ying Zheng turned around and glanced at Meng Yi meaningfully.

"Minister, retire."

Meng Yi immediately understood God and left from the back door of the main hall in a hurry.

"Your Majesty has a will, Xuanguo comforts the hustle and bustle, and General Zhao Tuo will come to see you."

The chamberlain immediately stood at the door of the main hall and shouted loudly.
