Li Si saw that the minister looked in his direction, and instantly lowered his face, and a slightly tired expression appeared on his face, Li Si was already very disappointed in the minister's heart, he couldn't distinguish the situation, and wanted to pull himself into the water, it seems that it is time to give up this chess piece.

Seeing that Li Si lowered his head and ignored his eyes for help, the minister was even more panicked in his heart, but he had to keep his mouth shut, so he could only kneel down in front of Qin Shi Huang and say: "Your Majesty, the minister is just thinking about Your Majesty, thinking about Great Qin, and hoping that Your Majesty will be clear." ”

Qin Shi Huang looked at the minister kneeling on the ground, with an irritated look on his face, if it was said before, Qin Shi Huang may have been a little shaken by the words of heaven, and Meng Tian was a little shaken, but the arrival of Gongzi Fusu has completely reversed the previous situation, and now this minister is still biting Meng Tian, Qin Shi Huang felt that he was just being led by his nose, and instantly there was murderous intent in his heart.

But after all, this minister has not done anything wrong, Qin Shi Huang is not a tyrant, he will kill if he says it, looking at the minister who was crawling on the ground in horror, Qin Shi Huang just said coldly: "Get up, I will punish you for half a year." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness." When the minister heard Qin Shi Huang's words, he immediately kowtowed and thanked him, and then retreated to his position, as if he was afraid of causing any more trouble.

Seeing that the main hall was quiet again, Gongzi Fusu said again: "Father, the son feels that there is something strange about this matter. ”

"Oh? How so? Qin Shi Huang asked with raised eyebrows when he heard Fusu say this.

"Father, the Great Wall is so impregnable that it will never collapse because of a thunderbolt." Gongzi Fusu said what he thought in his heart directly to Qin Shi Huang: "The Great Wall collapsed, and Erchen thought it was more likely to be man-made. ”

"Does Fusu have any evidence?" Qin Shi Huang asked.

"Father, the son does not have any evidence for the time being, please give the son time to investigate this matter, the son will definitely investigate the matter, and the general will be innocent." Gongzi Fusu said to Qin Shi Huang with a sincere face.

Qin Shi Huang's heart has been shaken, after all, Meng Tian is still very important to himself, after all, he still needs Meng Tian to expand his territory.

When Qin Shi Huang was about to promise Gongzi Fusu, he stood aside and bowed his head and spoke suddenly: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Gongzi Fusu's words are reasonable, but the current rumors are very unfavorable to General Mengda, and the people are also dissatisfied with General Mengda. ”

"It's ridiculous." Gongzi Fusu directly refuted Li Si's words: "The people have always had only respect for General Meng in their hearts, and they have grievances in their hearts. ”

"Fusu Gongzi has just returned to Xianyang City, you may not know that the collapse of the Great Wall has made the people's livelihood panic and resentful, and there is nothing wrong with it, General Meng Da is the person who supervised the construction of the Great Wall, and it is understandable that the people blame General Meng Da." Li Si was not afraid of Gongzi's recovery to refute himself, but said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

"You ......" Gongzi Fusu obviously wanted to refute something, but Meng Tian on the side interrupted him and said, "Fusu Gongzi." ”

Meng Tian motioned to Gongzi Fusu with his eyes, there is no need to continue, although Meng Tian is a military general, he is not as thoughtful as a civil official, but Meng Tian also knows this matter, he can't shirk his responsibility, no matter how much he says, it is nothing more than a powerless struggle.

Gongzi Fusu obviously knew the meaning in Meng Tian's eyes, and also understood the current situation, although he had the heart to rescue, but it was impossible for Meng Tian to retreat, Gongzi Fusu could only endure it when he thought of it and stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, no matter what the reason for the collapse of the Great Wall is, the minister has a certain responsibility, and the minister is willing to receive the punishment." After Meng Tian finished speaking, he knelt down respectfully, with a calm face and no fear.

What kind of person Meng Tian is, Qin Shi Huang naturally knows in his heart. After so many years of getting along with monarchs and ministers, how could Qin Shi Huang not know about Meng Tian's character? But no matter what, Meng Tian left his post without permission, and he had a responsibility that he couldn't shirk, as Li Si said, if he didn't punish Meng Tian, he was afraid that he would lose the hearts of the people, how could he convince his courtiers in the future, and finally Qin Shi Huang thought about it, and then said to Meng Tian: "Meng Tian, you left your post without permission, causing the Great Wall to collapse, and now I have eliminated the military power in your hands, you temporarily live in the side hall of Xianyang Palace, and you are not allowed to contact anyone until this matter is clarified." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Meng Tian had no objection to Qin Shi Huang's punishment.

But how could the person who was planning all this be willing to be punished by Meng Tian so little, in case the truth was really found out by Gongzi Fusu, Meng Tian would immediately return to his original state, so what is the point of all this he planned?

Li Si listened to Qin Shi Huang's words, and then glanced at another fellow party, that person was more intelligent, and immediately understood the meaning in Li Si's eyes, so he stood up and saluted Qin Shi Huang and said: "Your Majesty is magnanimous, but the people don't know, if you only give such a punishment to General Meng, I'm afraid it will still not be able to calm the people's grievances." ”

"What do you mean?" Although Qin Shi Huang was dissatisfied with the minister who stood up and spoke, he still asked.

"Your Majesty, the Great Wall has been collapsing for some time, and if it drags on for a long time, there will inevitably be incidents, not to mention the views of neighboring countries on this matter, when it is just among the people, there are many rumors, and in the long run, I am afraid that it will cause riots." The minister who spoke was obviously much smarter than the minister before him, and he knew what Qin Shi Huang was most worried about.

Sure enough, Qin Shi Huang listened to the minister's words, fell into deep thought again, thought about it and said to the minister: "What Aiqing said is extremely true. ”

Gongzi Fusu and Meng Tian, after listening to Qin Shi Huang's words, immediately knew that the situation was serious, and sure enough, Qin Shi Huang said to Gongzi Fusu: "Fusu, I now order you to find out this matter within five days, otherwise, Meng Tian will be beheaded in the bazaar." ”

"Father." Gongzi Fusu wants to argue about Qin Shi Huang's decision.

But in Qin Shi Huang's heart, how can a Meng Tian be compared with the neighboring countries and the people's hearts, Qin Shi Huang directly interrupted Gongzi Fusu and said: "I have made up my mind, you don't have to say more." ”

Gongzi Fusu glanced at Meng Tian, Meng Tian gave Gongzi Fusu a stable look, and signaled that Gongzi Fusu didn't have to argue anymore, and Gongzi Fusu could only say to Qin Shi Huang when he saw this: "Erchen obeys." ”

When Li Si and his party heard Qin Shi Huang's words, their hearts were already happy, it was absolutely impossible to find out the truth in five days, not to mention that it took three days for Xianyang City to go back and forth to the Great Wall, and the person who knew about this matter was either his confidant or a dead person, and it was impossible to investigate it clearly in five days, and Meng Tian would definitely die.

After dealing with Meng Tian's affairs, the early dynasty hastily ended the matter, and after Qin Shihuang left, everyone slowly left the hall.

At the gate of the main hall, Gongzi Fusu said to Meng Tian: "Master, Fusu will definitely do his best to investigate this matter, and he will never let the master have an accident." ”

"I believe in you." Meng Tian was convinced of Gongzi Fusu's character, and only he could help him in this matter, Meng Tian whispered to Gongzi Fusu: "When you arrive at the Great Wall, go find a man named Zhao Gao, he will help you." ”

"Fu Su Ming, let's go to the Great Wall." Gongzi Fusu listened to Meng Tian's words, it didn't make any sense, the person who could make Meng Tian speak must be extraordinary.

"There is Lao Fu Su Gongzi." Meng Tian saluted Gongzi Fusu.

Childe Fusu returned the salute and left.

After Gongzi Fusu left, Li Si slowly walked out of the main hall, and then said to Meng Tian with a smile: "General Meng doesn't need to panic, presumably Fusu Gongzi will definitely find out the truth for you." ”

"I've never panicked." Meng Tian looked at Reese with a smug look on his face, and said with a serious face.

"He is worthy of being a general of Meng who fought on the battlefield, and he has courage, and Li Si admires him." Li Si was not annoyed when he saw Meng Tian with a cold face towards him, but still said with a smile on his face.

"Needless to say these high-sounding words, you and I know this matter in our hearts." Meng Tian listened to Li Si's words with a look of disdain, for what a despicable villain like Li Si said, Meng Tian would never believe it, I am afraid that the other party is already extremely proud in his heart.

"General Mengda." At this time, the eunuch who had been waiting on the side for a long time stepped forward, although Meng Tian was now ordered by Qin Shi Huang to be placed under house arrest in the side hall of Xianyang Palace, but he still said respectfully: "Your Majesty asked the servant to take the general to the side hall. ”

"Let's go." Meng Tian didn't want to talk to Li Siduo anymore, so he said to the eunuch.

When the eunuch heard Meng Tian, he saluted Li Si and then left with Meng Tian.

Li Si didn't stop him, looked at the back of Meng Tian leaving, and said slowly: "General Meng Da has gone all the way. ”

Meng Tian listened to Li Si's words, did not look back, and followed the eunuch and left.

Li Si saw Meng Tian leave without looking back, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, his eyes darkened, and the corners of his mouth slowly revealed a cold smile, and then turned to leave.

The news of Meng Tian's beheading in the bazaar five days later soon spread to the streets and alleys of Xianyang City, and everyone was talking about it, including Loei, which had been closed for customers.

Qishan is an anxious person, walking around Loei is irritable, and he is so anxious that he is about to get angry.

But fortunately, the others are still relatively calm, although they are also a little anxious about this matter, but they still believe that this matter will definitely take a turn for the better, because if Meng Tian really has an accident, Zhao Gao and Li Jiang will definitely rush back to the matter, and they will not stay on the Great Wall all the time, so everyone in Li Mansion unanimously decided to stay behind closed doors and wait for news from Zhao Gao and Li Jiang, so as not to cause trouble again and add unnecessary trouble to them.

On the other side, Gongzi Fusu went out of Xianyang City, and then rushed to the Great Wall with his henchmen, never stopping along the way, shortening the time by half.

Gongzi Fusu arrived at the Great Wall, dismounted, the henchman took out the token, and the soldiers defending the city immediately knelt down to greet him, and Gongzi Fusu hurried into the camp without saying a word.

Gongzi Fusu walked in a hurry, and met Shang Jie head-on, Shang Jie and Gongzi Fusu had a relationship, and when he saw the visitor, he was stunned at first, and then immediately knelt down and said: "See Fusu Gongzi." ”

Shang Jie was very surprised by the arrival of Gongzi Fusu, and thought to himself, could it be General Meng?
