Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Future of This Son Is Limitless!
"Why did my brother say that?"
Meng Yi's face changed, His Majesty's character was very clear to him, and if he admonished His Majesty at this time, he would probably cause His Majesty to be dissatisfied!
"I have 50,000 iron-blooded soldiers in Daqin, attacking Yuyue, and for more than a year, less than 1,000 people have been killed in battle. But 8,000 people died of disease, the mouths of beasts and poisonous insects. ”
"The dense forests in central and southern China are lush, the rain is continuous all year round, and the damp atmosphere is everywhere. Many officers and soldiers in the army had their toes ulcerated, and their skin was blistered and peeling, which was miserable. ”
Meng Tian's face was ugly, and he said worriedly.
Meng Yi couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, and sighed and said, "Brother, the emperor's order cannot be violated!" ”
"That's why I'm going to play Your Majesty for my brother, I'm not going to discuss it with you."
Meng Tian looked at his brother and said meaningfully.
"What does the elder brother mean, do you want the younger brother to play together?"
Meng Yi was stunned and said with some hesitation.
"For my brother to be in charge of the army, you are in charge of logistics, the terrain in Central and South China is more dangerous than my brother, and I know the difficulties of it."
Meng Tian said a little melancholy.
"Don't ......"
Meng Yi shook his head and immediately refused.
"Why?"
Meng Tian asked.
"This land of Central and Southern Baiyue is in the hands of you and my brothers, if we play together, I am afraid that there will be a suspicion of forcing the palace, and if this causes His Majesty's suspicion, I am afraid it will not be the luck of Montessori."
Meng Yi reminded.
"It makes sense."
Meng Tian thought about it carefully and couldn't deny it.
"Brother, I just love my generals and soldiers, and I'm just anxious."
Meng Yi smiled and said.
"Then Brother Wei will play Your Majesty alone?"
Meng Tian asked Meng Yi for advice, from childhood to adulthood, his younger brother has been very intelligent, and his political sense far surpasses him.
"If the elder brother believes the younger brother, don't play Your Majesty."
Meng Yi's expression was solemn, and he looked at Meng Tian and persuaded him bitterly.
"If this continues, in a few years, these 50,000 troops will probably be exhausted."
Meng Tian's eyes showed sadness, and he sighed.
"How can there be a reason for immortals to fight a war, since the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty, for hundreds of years, the land of Shenzhou, countless heroic souls have died in battle."
Meng Yi comforted.
"As a soldier, there is nothing wrong with dying on the battlefield. But he didn't die at the hands of the enemy, it's really not worth it! ”
"They are all unparalleled warriors who have a high hall and a wife and children, who have fought for the empire in all directions and made great achievements!"
Meng Tian's voice was sad, very angry.
Meng Yi's heart is also a little heavy, he understands his brother's temperament, although he uses soldiers like a god, but he is also a person with the most affection and nature.
Known as a virtuous name who loves soldiers like children, he is deeply loved by the officers and soldiers of the three armies.
"Brother, Your Majesty once said that if our generation is unwilling to shed blood and sacrifice, then future generations will also shed blood and sacrifice."
Meng Yi really didn't know how to comfort his brother, so he could only borrow His Majesty's words to persuade his brother.
"Why don't you understand this truth, Your Majesty is far-sighted and has the world in mind. But watching the familiar young faces around him, he kept leaving. ”
"Their unwilling, unyielding, and unyielding eyes before they died hovered in their brothers' minds day and night, lingering."
"My heart is uneasy!"
Meng Tian's eyes were red, as if he had evoked unbearable memories, and his fists clenched.
"Their blood will not be shed in vain, and their sacrifice will surely be remembered forever by future generations, and they will become an indelible monument to the empire, revered and immortalized for all ages."
"This is a secret letter sent by His Majesty a few days ago."
Meng Yi took out a neatly folded letter from his sleeve and handed it to Meng Tian.
Meng Tian glanced at the letter Meng Yi handed over, and hesitated: "Is it compliant?" ”
"Your Majesty's private message to your younger brother has nothing to do with state affairs."
Meng Yi smiled.
Meng Tian nodded, then took the letter and read it.
"Your Majesty has issued an edict for the Tai Academy to compile a book, and to pass on the song for the sacrifices of the empire. He also ordered the Ministry of Industry to cast stone tablets in the famous mountains and rivers of the empire, engraved as the heroic soul of the empire, and the monument praised virtue. ”
And announced to the subjects of the world that the second day of February every year will be set as the day of the Heroic Soul, and the whole country will mourn. Worship the heroic souls who died in the battle of the magnificent China, and worship the meritorious deeds of sacrificing their lives for the towering Great Qin. ”
Meng Yi smiled all over his face, and admired His Majesty even more.
"Hah! Ha! Ha! ”
After reading it, Meng Tian burst out laughing, tears glistening in his eyes.
stood up, faced the west and bowed: "Heaven descends from the Lord, bless my Great Qin." Have mercy on my soldiers, comfort my heart. Your Majesty is ten thousand years, and Great Qin is ten thousand years. ”
Seeing this, Meng Yi also bowed to the west, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty is ten thousand years, and Great Qin is ten thousand years." ”
The two brothers had a long talk again and sympathized with each other.
"Brother, the younger brother has a suggestion."
Meng Yi's expression was serious, and he was serious.
"You! There are a lot of ghost ideas when you are young, so let's talk about it. ”
Meng Tian teased with a smile on his face.
"Ahem......"
Meng Yi was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and then said: "Brother can write a private letter for Your Majesty, in which you can tactfully express the hardships of the officers and soldiers of the three armies on the Central and Southern Front. ”
"What's the difference between this private message and a book?"
Meng Tian was very puzzled, and said a little suspiciously.
"The book will first be annotated by Shang Shutai, and then sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion for review, and then it can be transferred to His Majesty."
"And the private message can be sent back to the Mongolian Mansion, so that Xun'er can directly forward it to His Majesty."
Meng Yi analyzed them one by one and explained his brother's doubts.
"Don't play dumb riddles, just say it!" Meng Tian was anxious, although he had already realized something, he still wanted to see if this was the case.
"Brother, go straight to the game, ask Your Majesty to stop the war, and make the government and the opposition all know. It is tantamount to putting His Majesty in a dilemma, attacking Zhongnan is His Majesty's personal edict, if he rashly stops the army, he is afraid that he will be laughed at by the world. ”
"If Your Majesty does not listen to his brother's advice and insists on attacking Zhongnan, he will have a bad reputation for not caring for the soldiers of the three armies. Even His Majesty will be suspicious of his brother and whether he deliberately makes a fool of himself. ”
"If it is a private letter, whether Your Majesty agrees or rejects his brother's advice, he will not have so many concerns."
Meng Yi explained the pros and cons very rationally and said to Meng Tian.
Meng Tian suddenly realized, and said with a wry smile: "The second brother is still careful. ”
"My brother is just anxious and busy with military affairs, so he doesn't think it through."
Meng Yi said disapprerovingly.
"I immediately took two letters of resignation and asked people to send them to the Mongol Mansion to Xun'er."
Meng Tian picked up the brush on the table, and then wrote in front of the wooden table.
About half an hour later, Meng Tian looked at his words repeatedly, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed it to Meng Yi and said, "You can also help Brother Wei take a look, okay?" ”
Meng Yi smiled, then took it, carefully considered it sentence by sentence, and after reading it, he immediately said: "In terms of calligraphy and writing, my brother is not inferior to any grandmaster in the world, and this book is also very good." ”
"Okay, young poor mouth, for my brother I heard that His Majesty sent troops to Yelang and worshiped a little general?"
Meng Tian folded the letter neatly, put it into an envelope unhurriedly, and then sealed it with wax.
"Fuyi General Han Xin, three out of twenty, Huaiyin people, young and promising."
Meng Yi smiled and said like a treasure.
"In the past, Li Xin had his worship in his thirties, which was already shocked by the world, and the years are urging people to grow old, and the future of this son is limitless!"
Meng Tian stroked his beard and sighed.
