Chapter 20: Shocking the government and the opposition

Following.

The dawn of dawn pierced the sky, and the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth.

In the early spring morning, it was still cool, and before the morning came, a rapid sound broke the silence and solemnity of the imperial city, and passed from the city gate to the central hall.

The first emperor Yingzheng was dressed in a mink velvet and hurriedly stayed in the palace.

At this time, the ministers were already waiting outside the palace, and when they saw the emperor arriving, they knelt down and bowed, but they saw Yingzheng hurriedly waving his hand and said, "Get up." ”

After the ministers got up, the First Emperor asked again: "The early dynasty has not arrived, and all the ministers have gathered outside the palace, but something big has happened?" ”

As soon as Yingzheng's words fell, a minister announced: "Returning to Your Majesty is not only a big deal, but a big thing at all." ”

Seeing that the faces of the courtiers were solemn and solemn, as if the sky had fallen, Yingzheng knew that something bad was wrong, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the matter?" Speak quickly. ”

"Your Majesty, yesterday in the middle of the city, the prince of Tianze of Baiyue Kingdom ......"

"What's wrong with him?"

"...... Someone killed him. ”

"What!"

Hearing this, the First Emperor suddenly woke up, and his dragon body was shocked, and he almost fell to the ground.

Now that the Great Qin side has unified the six countries, many factors in the universe are still unstable, and the relationship between the Qin State and Baiyue is walking on thin ice, and sooner or later there will be a war between the two countries, but it can't be now. Now, Tianze has died in Xianyang, undoubtedly piercing the last layer of window paper between the two countries.

If Baiyue is angry, he will inevitably send troops to the empire, and now the empire is facing the reform of the county system, and many things have not yet been finalized.

Ying Zheng's face fell in an instant, his face showed a fierce color, the ministers did not dare to look at him, they were all sincerely afraid, above the court, the silence was terrifying, as if even the sound of the heartbeat could be faintly heard.

"Who killed Tianze?"

Ying Zheng's voice echoed in the hall, just as the courtiers expected, the emperor was really angry, and it was angry, his voice pierced their eardrums like a knife, and they were terrified when they heard it.

How dare they hide that this happened in the downtown area, and everyone saw it.

"Yes...... It was killed by the second son of the Meng family. ”

"You mean Meng Yi killed Tianze, how is it possible?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the murderer is Meng Yi, and the people in the downtown area can prove it."

Knowing that the murderer was Meng Yi, Ying Zheng was a little hesitant in his heart, although the reputation of the second son of the Meng family was not good, but this son had a flexible brain and was very pleasing.

The "county system" and the method of salt production proposed by him undoubtedly contributed greatly to the development and growth of the empire.

Moreover, Ying Zheng has a good impression of Meng Yi, although it is rumored that he is a loser, but whenever he sees this kid stealing and playing tricks, not only does he not feel angry, but he wants to laugh inexplicably.

Rao is this kid is usually a bit of a bastard, but at this time, he can't be unaware of the situation facing the empire.

After Ying Zheng inquired about the reason, after learning the ins and outs of the matter, he also clenched his fists and secretly thought: "This Meng family kid is quite bloody. ”

Tian Ze's flirting with the people's girls has triggered the criminal law of Daqin, Meng Yi came forward to stop it, Tian Ze not only did not change his life, but he actually wanted to kill someone, but he was killed by Meng Yi, which can be regarded as a crime that he deserved.

However, after all, the murderer is the greatest, although Yingzheng admires Meng Yi's bloodiness, but in order to give Baiyue Guo an explanation, he had to arrest Meng Yi here.

"Where is Zhang Han?" The First Emperor said.

"The minister is here!"

Zhang Han, as a Qianniu guard, held an important position in the garrison of the imperial city, and was a confidant of Yingzheng, but he saw him step by step and make a salute.

"You go to the Mongolian Mansion as soon as possible, arrest Meng Yi and bring him to justice, if this son does not comply, you don't need to leave your hands behind, and correct the law on the spot." The First Emperor said.

"The last general commands."

Zhang Han gave the order to go, and the first emperor Yingzheng swept through the court, but he didn't see Li Si, and couldn't help asking: "Why don't you see Li Si?" Where is he now? ”

……

Mongfu.

A middle-aged man with a haggard expression was standing outside the door, pacing from side to side, impatient.

At this time, Meng Yi walked out of the room, and the middle-aged man was busy holding his hand and asked, "Second son, how is the little girl's injury?" ”

"Miss Xinyue is very seriously injured, fortunately, she has stabilized her condition, and there is no worry about her life, for the sake of insurance, during this time, let her live in Mengfu to recuperate, and she should not move at will, so as not to worsen the wound."

Yesterday, after Meng Yi rescued Li Xinyue back to the house, due to the injury to the abdomen, the body was bleeding heavily, and he didn't care about whether men and women were kissed or not.

Fortunately, Tian Ze did not stab her internal organs, otherwise, even the Great Luo Immortal would not be able to save her.

Knowing that his daughter had no worries about her life, the man's hanging heart finally landed. At the same time, he knelt down in front of Meng Yi and said, "The kindness of the second son to save the little girl, Li Si will never forget it in this life, please accept my worship." ”

Meng Yi never dreamed that Li Xinyue turned out to be Li Si's beloved daughter, in his previous life, he was well-read, but he never heard that Li Si had a daughter, but there are records in wild history and miscellaneous conversations, but it is not Li Xinyue.

"Lord Li, please get up, you are an elder, but now you want to worship me, this kid, I am really ashamed of me." Meng Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

Before, Meng Yi was ashamed of Li Si, after all, he strengthened his merits, and proposed the "county system" first, and he owed him a favor for such a great achievement.

Now that he has saved his daughter, it is also two clear.

"The second son doesn't know, Xinyue has a hard life since childhood, her mother died early, and the minister is ashamed of her, that is, she is pampered, from childhood to adulthood, she has been wronged at all, yesterday Tianze's dirty behavior, trying to disrespect the little girl, if it weren't for the second son's righteous help, I am afraid that the little girl's chastity is not guaranteed, you deserve this kneeling."

"But Miss Xinyue blocked this knife for me, and now I want to thank her." Meng Yi said.

"The words are true, but a woman's reputation is more important than her life, and the little girl should do it for her to block the knife for you."

In ancient times, women valued chastity more than life, otherwise how could anyone have written the book "The Biography of the Daughters".

Meng Yi waved his hand and said boldly: "Lord Li, you and I are officials of the same dynasty, and Your Majesty also asked me to assist you in supervising the reform of the county system. ”

For the young man in front of him, Li Si looked at it differently, this son was free and easy, and he was bold and graceful, and said: "The second son killed Tianze angrily for the sake of the little girl, and at such a critical moment, killing the Baiyue envoy, Your Majesty will inevitably blame you, are you still in the mood to drink?" ”

Li Si thought of it, how could Meng Yi not think of it?

Tianze was killed, Baiyue will inevitably be angry with the government and the opposition, and now the relationship between the two countries is not harmonious, for fear of piercing this layer of window paper, now this layer of paper is not only pierced, but also stabbed.

Meng Yi put his hands behind his back, stood on the high steps and looked into the distance, took a sharp breath, and said boldly: "What should come is always coming, and there is a tall person on top of it when the sky falls." ”

"Isn't the second son afraid?"

"Afraid! Does it work? The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and fate is such a thing, how can it be controlled by fear or fear. Meng Yi said, "Everything depends on fate." ”

"It's a good thing to look at fate, Li Si has been taught."

Hearing Meng Yi's words, Li Si's understanding of him was deeper, he thought he was just a young boy with a little talent, but now it seems that his talent, his courage, and his views on life are far beyond those of his peers.

"Let's go, let's drink!!"

After that, Meng Yi put his arm around Li Si's shoulders and swaggered to drink.

About half an hour later, Zhang Han was ordered to arrive, and at this time, Meng Yi was already standing in front of the door of the mansion, tying his hands with ropes.

Seeing this, Zhang Han said expressionlessly: "Take it away!" ”

Before being taken away, Hao Jian chased after him and cried: "Young master, you go all the way." ”

Originally, Meng Yi's mood was not too bad, but this thing opened his mouth and went all the way, which immediately attracted his displeasure, Meng Yi turned around and scolded: "Dog, what about you crying graves?" Ben Gongzi is going to be tried, not to be sent to death. ”

"It's spread outside, saying that the young master killed the prince of Baiyue, and it is impossible to survive."

"Close your crow's mouth, dare to say one more word, and this son will send you to see Tianze." Meng Yi scolded.

Hao Jian was so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth.

Before leaving, Meng Yi instructed again: "You just stay in the house honestly, wait for the salt patent fee that the people give to my son, if you dare to take an extra penny, wait for me to come back and break your dog's leg." ”

"The little one will definitely follow the young master's orders."

"Gone!"

After finishing speaking, Meng Yi got into Zhang Han's prisoner car without looking back, and was tied to the court by Wuhua Da.

Before, Zhang Han was still a little prejudiced against Meng Yi, although he was ordered to arrest him this time, but after hearing the ins and outs of the matter, he still admired Meng Yi very much for having such a man's blood.

As a result, her prejudice has changed a lot.

Soon, Meng Yi was escorted to the Imperial City Hall.

When Meng Yi arrived at the court, the ministers saw him, and they all criticized him, and reprimanded him for destroying the relationship between the two countries.

"Your Majesty, Meng Yi deliberately sabotaged the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and in order to appease the anger of Baiyue, he should be beheaded immediately to show the public."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

……

For a while, all the ministers spoke in unison, Meng Yi had humiliated them fiercely at the court meeting before, but they all remembered this account, and now they finally caught the opportunity, how could they let Meng Yi go.

After the discussion subsided, the First Emperor Yingzheng did not make a decision, but looked at Meng Yi and scolded sharply: "Meng Yi, are you guilty?!" ”
