"Your Majesty, the minister has one more thing to do." Meng Tian thought for a moment and then spoke.

"What's the matter with Aiqing?" Qin Shi Huang replied with joy in his heart.

"Your Majesty, hundreds of refugees have gathered a few miles outside the city, please give your Majesty the grace to allow the refugees to build houses here and live a stable life." Seeing that Qin Shi Huang was in a good mood now, Meng Tian immediately opened his mouth to ask the refugees for advice.

Li Si, who wanted to be silent on the side, heard this, and immediately cheered up Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and his brain turned, and he said randomly: "Your Majesty, General Meng must not allow this matter." ”

"Why is that?" Qin Shi Huang asked when he saw Li Si's objection.

"Your Majesty, although there are only a few hundred refugees outside the city, if Your Majesty grants General Meng's request to build houses for refugees outside the city and live a stable life, if all the refugees under the city do not gather in Xianyang City, then it will be out of control, I hope Your Majesty will think twice." Li Si said to Qin Shi Huang eloquently.

Qin Shi Huang listened to Li Si's words, and seemed to feel that it made sense, and fell into deep thought, and when Meng Tian saw this, he spoke again: "Your Majesty, the refugees outside the city are also Your Majesty's people, not to mention that this will make the people in the world feel Your Majesty's kindness and the prosperity of Great Qin." ”

"If the refugees get the news and gather in Xianyang City, and the traitors of the six countries are mixed in, then my Great Qin will not be in danger." Lees continued to retort.

"Wouldn't it be better if this is the case, I want my Great Qin to be strong and prosperous, and the remaining traitors, as long as they dare to come, I will let them go and have no return." Meng Tian said loudly.

"I know that General Meng is brave and good at fighting, but for the safety of His Majesty, I will stop it even if I die." Li Si looked at Qin Shi Huang with a loyal expression and said.

"Alright, alright." Qin Shi Huang saw that his two capable ministers began to quarrel again, so he had a headache, but he could only stop and said: "I even the loyalty of the two Aiqing, I know that you have always considered the people, and you are brave and good at fighting, but the words of the prime minister are also considered by me, what we need now is to recuperate and make all preparations to attack the Xiongnu, instead of working for the refugees." ”

"Your Majesty." When Meng Tian heard that Qin Shi Huang accepted Li Si's words, his heart was cold, but he still wanted to say to Qin Shi Huang again, Qin Shi Huang saw what Meng Tian wanted to say and write, so he interrupted: "Meng Aiqing doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind." ”

After listening to Qin Shi Huang's words, Meng Tian stopped talking, Meng Tian knew that once Qin Shi Huang made up his mind, he couldn't change it, Meng Tian just felt a little disappointed, and felt that everything Zhao Gao and Li Jiang had done these days was in vain.

Just when Meng Tian was silent, Li Si on the side suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, there is a way for the people outside the city. ”

"Oh~" Qin Shi Huang listened to Li Si's words and asked, "What is the prime minister's good plan?" ”

Li Si's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and the corners of his eyes floated past Meng Tian, who had been staring at him, and said to Qin Shi Huang: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Li Lao's daughter has been giving porridge outside the city these days, but it seems that there is not enough grain and grass, so the minister asks His Majesty to open a warehouse and release grain, and donate silver taels so that the refugees have enough entanglement to leave Xianyang City and live in other places." ”

After listening to Li Si's words, Qin Shi Huang thought for a while and finally said, "Okay, this matter will be handled by you, Prime Minister." ”

"Obey." Li Si saw that Qin Shi Huang agreed, and immediately replied.

Meng Tian listened to Li Si's words and frowned, Meng Tian didn't think that Li Si really had such a good heart to help the refugees, but Li Si's words just now did solve a problem for the refugees, if the refugees really received food and silver and left Xianyang City, it would not be a way to live again, but Meng Tian always felt that things were not so simple when he looked at Li Si.

Zhao Gao accompanied Li Jiang and waited at the gate of the palace, Li Jiang looked at the palace gate with an anxious face, the guards at the palace gate stood neatly and quietly, Zhao Gao looked at Li Jiang who was so anxious, and said comfortingly: "Jiang'er, don't worry, it's still early, and there will be no trouble with Lao Meng in Li Lao." ”

"I know, but I can't see my father, so my heart has been holding on to it, and I can't settle it." Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words, although he knew that Meng Tian would protect his father, but Li Jiang felt that his heart was not beating non-stop, and he just couldn't calm down.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao didn't say anything anymore, at this time, only silently guarding the side could give her a comfort.

Time passed minute by minute, finally, Zhao Gao and Li Jiang saw a minister walking out of the palace gate, Zhao Gao pulled Li Jiang to the side, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, Li Jiang saw an adult walking out of the palace gate, but still did not see his father and Meng Tian, so he anxiously asked: "Ah Gao, why Brother Meng and his father have not come out yet, nothing will happen, right?" ”

"Jiang Er, don't worry." Zhao Gao comforted, looked at the gate of the palace and said, "Look at the appearance of these ministers, it doesn't seem like something has happened, let's wait." ”

Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words, and stared at the gate of the palace without blinking, for fear of missing Meng Tian and his father, when the minister was about to finish, Meng Tian and Li Lao finally walked out of the palace gate, Li Jiang immediately greeted him when he saw this, and Zhao Gao followed closely.

"Father, are you all right?" Li Jiang asked as he hugged Li Lao.

"This is not the place to talk, let's leave." Meng Tian said when he saw Li Jiang's anxious appearance.

"The carriage is over there, let's go over." For Meng Tian, Zhao Gao is extremely familiar, Meng Tian knows what he is thinking with one expression and one action.

Just as they turned around and were about to leave, a voice came from behind them, and Li Si saw Meng Tian leaving in a hurry, so he said: "General Meng has recruited a fierce general for the military camp today, which is really gratifying." ”

"Hmph." After listening to Li Si's words, Meng Tian said lightly: "This can't be compared to the benevolence and charity of the prime minister, I only hope that the prime minister will really open the warehouse and release grain as he said in the main hall." Meng Tian said, blocking his body in front of Li Jiang, and Li Si couldn't see Li Jiang's face.

"This is natural, this prime minister has always handled it impartially." Li Si said, his eyes drifted behind Meng Tian, as if he wanted to see the face of the woman behind him.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao immediately stepped forward to block Li Jiang more tightly, and Zhao Gao said with a smile on his face: "The Prime Minister will definitely handle it impartially, and Zhao Gao will meet the Prime Minister in the next place." ”

"Zhao Gao?" Li Si was blocked and couldn't see the woman behind him, but his eyes were attracted by the man in white in front of him, Li Si looked at the man in front of him with a smile on his face, like a humble gentleman, Li Si saw a different look from Meng Tian in his eyes, Li Si felt that if this person was not an ally, he would definitely be more difficult to eradicate than Meng Tian in the future.

"Zhao Gao has something to say to him, let's go." Meng Tian really looked down on Li Si, so he said with disgust.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, farewell." Zhao Gao bowed his hand, and then turned around and left with Meng Tian.

Watching Meng Tian and his party get into the carriage, Li Si suddenly smiled and whispered: "Interesting, it's really interesting." ”

Li Si is actually not afraid of Meng Tian at all, because in terms of strategy, Meng Tian can't be compared with himself at all, Meng Tian is indeed brave and resourceful on the battlefield, but he is vulnerable in the court, the reason why Meng Tian is so high now is that Qin Shi Huang needs Meng Tian, the undefeated god of war, to fight for him, and when the world no longer needs this god of war one day, he doesn't have to take action himself, Meng Tian is still bound to die, there is a way to be a high meritorious, how could Qin Shi Huang tolerate him.

It's just that Li Si saw Zhao Gao today and thought differently, when he saw Zhao Gao for the first time, Li Si felt that he would be a powerful enemy, he used to know that Meng Tian had a friend, but he also felt that He Mengtian was the same as a brave and unscrupulous person, but he never thought that he would be such a person, Li Si always understood why the refugees outside the city gate would kneel at the city gate, it must be this person's strategy, wanting to attract the attention of His Majesty.

on the carriage.

"What happened?" Zhao Gao looked at Meng Tian with a serious face and asked.

"Everything went as you said, but when I asked Your Majesty for permission to build a house for the refugees, Lees objected, and Your Majesty rejected my request." Meng Tian said.

Zhao Gao listened to Meng Tian's words, and said with an expected expression: "As expected, Your Majesty will definitely not agree, is there something else that happened after that?" ”

"Li Si asked His Majesty to open a warehouse and release grain, give each refugee a sum of silver taels, and let them leave Xianyang City to live elsewhere." Meng Tian replied to Zhao Gao's words.

"This is a good thing, Your Majesty agreed?" Zhao Gao asked.

"Your Majesty agreed." Meng Tian said slowly: "Your Majesty has handed over this matter to Li Si. ”

Zhao Gao listened to Meng Tian's words, and also fell into contemplation and didn't speak, Li Jiang looked at Meng Tian and Zhao Gao's heavy expressions, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this a good thing?" Why are your faces so heavy? ”

Zhao Gao listened to Li Jiang's question, and then replied: "Li Si is not like a person, he will take the initiative to take over this matter, there must be something, or he just wants to fill his own pocket, so that he doesn't know whether it is good or bad for refugees." ”

"What can I do about this" Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words and asked worriedly.

"It's happened, don't think about it so much, take it one step at a time." Zhao Gao saw a car of people with a serious face, so he adjusted the atmosphere and said: "Jiang'er, remember in the future, when you see this person, turn your head and leave immediately, no matter how far you go, don't talk to him." ”

"I see." Li Jiang is a smart and clever girl, so she naturally knew Zhao Gao's words, so she said: "I definitely won't have anything to do with him, I just want to live a peaceful life with my father." ”

"Okay, okay, Li Lao also came out of the palace safely, let's go back to the house quickly, I still want to eat the osmanthus crisp made by Jiang Er." Zhao Gao looked at Li Jiang with a smile on his face and said.

The solemn atmosphere in the car seemed to dissipate because of Zhao Gao's words, and Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao with disdain and said, "Just your mouth." ”

"Lao Meng, if you have the ability, don't rob me later." Zhao Gao spoke provocatively to Meng Tian.

"Hmph." Meng Tian snorted softly and turned his head to Zhao Gao.
