"Minister, Zhao Tuo, meet Your Majesty."

After Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo walked into the main hall, they immediately knelt on one knee and bowed to Yingzheng.

"Two Aiqing, please hurry up."

Ying Zheng glanced at the two of them and said with a warm smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo stood up.

Before the two of them could stand firm, they heard Ying Zheng ask with a straight face: "Are you rebelling now, or do you want to rebel after I die?" ”

Before the two of them could fully stand up, they suddenly heard Yingzheng's words, and they staggered and knelt down again.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to the slander of traitors, the minister will never be disloyal."

"Your Majesty, the minister's loyalty to Daqin can be seen in the world, and his loyalty to His Majesty can be expressed in the sun and the moon."

"Your Majesty......"

The two knelt directly on the ground with their legs on their feet, and hurriedly begged for mercy and defended.

"When the ancestral dragon dies, the world collapses, do you dare to believe this kind of absurd words? If I die, you can only be the king in Baiyue, I can fulfill your wishes now, how about a Minyue king, a Nanyue king? ”

Ying Zheng glanced at the two people who were kneeling at his feet to defend himself, and his voice was cold and piercing.

In the world of dreams, he knew that these two people were in cahoots, sitting back and watching the world be in chaos, and occupying the land as the king, which was simply hateful.

"Your Majesty, there is no excuse for the sin you want to add! Surrender. ”

Ren Huan burst into tears, it was a matter of life and death, although he did have this careful thought, but in front of the man in front of him, he could not admit it.

"Your Majesty, the minister has absolutely no intention of being crowned king, and this time I came here to resign to Your Majesty in person, and beg Your Majesty to allow the minister to return to his hometown to live for the rest of his life."

Zhao Tuo also had a sad look on his face, looking grief-stricken.

"Really?"

Ying Zheng looked suspicious and looked at the two.

"Your Majesty, please look."

The two of them each took out a bamboo slip from their arms.

Ying Zheng took it and glanced at it casually, and sure enough, it was a resignation.

Could it be that I wronged them?

Or is it that dream world, virtual and real, not all real?

It's just that soon, Ying Zheng's eyes showed a look of wisdom.

was almost deceived by these two treacherous people, and glanced at the two of them meaningfully: "You do things, but you don't leak, and you are ready to come, right?" ”

"It seems that the two of you are not stupid, you actually know that this trip is fraudulent, and you have already thought of a way out. The 500,000 divisions of the Southern Army, most of which are the children of Guanzhong, the elite of the old Qin people. ”

"You know very well that if you lead them to be loyal to the country, make meritorious contributions, and pacify Baiyue, they will all take the lead. If you want to rebel against the will, I'm afraid you can't help it, but you will die faster. ”

Ying Zheng's every word made Zhao Tuo and Ren Huan's faces pale, until Ying Zheng finished speaking, and the two of them were like ashes.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged! The minister didn't know why His Majesty was suspicious of the minister, but he just felt that His Majesty would not really be crowned king, so in order to protect himself, he played a little clever. The minister will never dare to rebel! ”

Ren Huan was seen through by Yingzheng and didn't dare to hide it.

As for the rebellion, he did think about it in his heart, and he didn't reveal it to anyone.

Your Majesty is all based on speculation, how can he admit something out of nothing?

Even if I thought about it in my heart, it was just an idea, and I didn't act on it!

"Your Majesty, the minister has shed an unknown amount of blood for Daqin, and how many military exploits he has made, if His Majesty only relies on speculation to convict the minister of rebellion, it will be difficult for the minister to die."

Zhao Tuo is also out of the way, any crime is easy to say, even if he loses the official title, it is nothing.

Rebellion is a major crime of the Nine Clans, which is unbearable, not to mention that it has not been done, even if it is really done, it is better to die than to confess.

"I know you haven't rebelled yet, but you have this thought, so don't be in a hurry to deny it. I can see it, and you know it in your hearts. ”

Ying Zheng stared at the two of them with a pair of deep eyes, and said confidently.

Zhao Tuo and Ren Huan kept beating drums in their hearts, could this majesty really be able to see through people's hearts?

"The minister has no such thoughts, no antipathy, Your Majesty knows it."

The two looked at each other and said almost in unison, looking like they would rather die than admit their guilt.

And they feel very wronged from the bottom of their hearts, even if you are Your Majesty, I can't afford to provoke you, you can't just rely on a conjecture to kill the nine clans, right?

"It didn't go back before, and it doesn't mean it won't be back now."

Ying Zheng looked at the two of them with mockery.

Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo were dumbfounded, what do you mean?

What do you mean that it won't be reversed now?

People are knives and I am fish and meat, how can I reverse?

But soon the two of them understood the meaning of Ying Zheng's words, and their faces suddenly changed.

At some point, Ying Zheng had an extra dagger in his hand and gently cut one of his fingers.

Seeing the bewitching blood slowly gushing out, the two of them suddenly went blank in their minds and froze in place.

"Click......"

Ying Zheng seemed to undoubtedly touch the jade cup on the table, and made a crisp sound.

With the sound of the jade cup, the many doors and windows of the main hall were all smashed open, and groups of armor soldiers who were waiting for the day rushed in neatly armed.

Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo's eyes immediately widened, and they instantly understood that today was a mortal situation set by His Majesty, regardless of whether they were against it or not, His Majesty thought that they deserved to die, and they would die.

As for everything before, it was just a trick directed and acted by His Majesty, in order to block the mouths of the world.

What does it mean to be guilty of sin?

At the moment, there is no way to argue.

The two of them just wanted to open their mouths to scold and shout grievances, but before they could open their mouths, they heard Meng Yi say coldly: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, plotting to assassinate Your Majesty, the crime is unforgivable, release arrows." ”

As Meng Yi's words fell, many armor soldiers holding bows and crossbows did not hesitate at all, and directly pulled the trigger.

Hundreds of bows and crossbows were fired in unison, and Zhao Tuo and Ren Huan fell in a pool of blood with a thick unwillingness.

It didn't take long for the hall to return to normal, and the bodies of Zhao Tuo and Ren Huan were carried out, and even the blood stains were wiped away.

After all the servants left, there were only Meng Yi and Yingzheng Junchen in the main hall.

"Meng Qing said bluntly when he had something to say, why did he spit it out."

Ying Zheng saw Meng Yi's unnatural look and sat down.

"Your Majesty's suspicions in this matter are too serious, I'm afraid it is not enough to convince everyone."

Meng Yi expressed the worries in his heart, after all, this matter cannot stand scrutiny.

Two border generals with heavy troops in their hands, seeing the assassination of the king, how do you hear this, how do you look like idiots.

"I don't need everyone to believe it, only the general public. As for the wise men, they know very well that evil comes from the mouth. ”

"Rumors stop at the wise, and if they are not wise, I don't mind shutting them up."

Ying Zheng picked up a brush and dipped it in black ink, and then began to concentrate on the pen walking the dragon snake.

Meng Yi bowed and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

A chill rose on his back, His Majesty was still so domineering.

"You led people to hang the corpses of these two thieves in Panyu City, Nanhai County, and I named you Xiang County, Nanhai County, Minzhong County, and the county guard of the three counties, overseeing the military and political affairs of the three counties, and temporarily taking charge of the army of 100 and 500,000 on behalf of your brother."

Ying Zheng's voice was very flat, as if he was telling a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty has such a heavy responsibility, I'm afraid the minister can't afford it!"

Meng Yi was shocked in his heart, this is the supreme administrator of the land of Baiyue, His Majesty summoned his brother to come, is it just to let his brother take charge of the military and politics of Baiyue?

"If you can't afford it, you have to bear it, after Meng Tian arrives, he will go to the land of Baiyue to take over the military power. I'm only going to give you three months to regroup. ”

"I hope that Meng Qing can understand that whether southern Xinjiang can be stable and whether the empire can be settled once and for all depends on Aiqing."

Ying Zheng put down the brush in his hand, picked up the black cloth on the table, came to Meng Yi, and handed it over.

When Meng Yi heard Ying Zheng's words, his face was extremely solemn, and looking at the black scroll handed out by His Majesty, he took it and subconsciously took it.

What is it?

Slowly unfolding the black scroll, he was a little confused: "Your Majesty, this is a map?" How could there be such a delicate map in the world? ”

Meng Yi was full of doubts, how could His Majesty know this?

However, the only fly in the ointment is that although His Majesty's map is very delicately drawn, it is too sketchy and there are too many blank spaces.

"After arriving in Nanjun, expand this map, send a wide range of people, improve this map, and find a safe route to Yuyue."

"Remember to collect a batch of yellow grass first, Xiao Mao, and prepare a copy by hand, poisonous miasma, poisonous insects are not to worry. There are many of these two herbs. ”

Ying Zheng patiently explained.

"Huh?"

Meng Yi was a little in a daze, the information revealed by His Majesty was too shocking.

Originally, he didn't understand that His Majesty asked the whole country to collect yellow grass, what did Xiao Mao do?

Now it seems that it is to break the poisonous miasma, poisonous insects, if it is really as miraculous as His Majesty said, there will indeed be no turmoil in southern Xinjiang from now on.

The reason why the Great Qin Empire suffered heavy casualties in the expedition to Baiyue was not that the people of Baiyue were too strong, but that poisonous miasma, poisonous insects, and plagues were rampant, and most of the soldiers died from natural disasters, not man-made disasters.

"Your Majesty, this Huang Caochen, Xiao Mao can really break the poisonous miasma? Eliminate the five poisons? ”

The harm of the five poisons and the poisonous miasma plague were raging, plaguing the land of China for thousands of years.

Otherwise, how could the Nanban fight against the Central Plains?

"If someone is poisoned, they can take yellow grass, drink more water, and the miasma will be self-resolved. Xiao Mao is dried and can be lit at night to avoid mosquitoes. ”

Ying Zheng looked confident and admonished.

"Your Majesty is a scholar and a celestial man, and the minister admires him incomparably."

Meng Yi regained his inner peace and found that a thousand words were so pale, and he could only be convinced.

"Go ahead!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"Minister, retire."

Meng Yi immediately bowed, and then slowly took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.

Ying Zheng watched Meng Yi leave, then showed a contemplative look and sat on the couch again.

Picked up a blank bamboo slip from the table, slowly spread it out, and wrote four big characters again with a pen in a smooth manner.

"Compendium of Materia Medica."

After writing for a while, Ying Zheng frowned and put down the brush in his hand.

After the affairs in southern Xinjiang, he can return to Xianyang to try paper making and movable type printing.

Weapons must also be restructured, laws and regulations must be improved, official positions must also be reformed, the military system must be renewed, and the economy must be promoted......

There are too many things to do, but Ying Zheng does not feel half tired, but is refreshed and excited.

The Great Qin Empire was not alone, and the Far West had not yet begun to show the light of civilization at this time.

It's a pity that when I meet me, history will be rewritten, and one day, the black king flag of Daqin will cross the snow peak and waive in the wind.

The Great Qin Iron Cavalry will gallop on the Western Continent and be invincible.

The Great Qin fleet traveled to the major oceans, spreading the prestige of China far away.

I am looking forward to that day, the Xiongnu, Xiqiang, Western Regions, Luoyue, Jizi, Chenguo, and Yingzhou are all from Daqin, and they have belonged to Daqin since ancient times......
