The Qin army triumphed, the whole country celebrated, and the first emperor set up a banquet in the Xianyang Palace to reward the three armies.

On this day, Meng Tian, Fusu and other cadres returned to the imperial court to reply to the decree, and on the top of the court hall, all the ministers arrived, and Meng Tian and Fusu walked steadily in front of the holy car in majestic armor.

The two saluted at the same time and said: "Erchen (Weichen), knock to see your father (Your Majesty), I wish your father (Your Majesty) long live, long live, long live!" ”

On this day, the first emperor was in a good mood, and when he saw the return of his henchmen and eldest son, it could be said that he was a double happiness, and he said heartily: "Hurry up, please get up!" ”

Defeating the Xiongnu and consolidating the Great Qin Frontier, his feats of war can be described as immeasurable.

After the two of them got up, the first emperor said: "During this time, you were stationed in the northern frontier, built the Great Wall, defeated the Xiongnu, I was in the temple, but I sweated for you, and now you live up to my hopes, and I am proud of you." ”

"Your Majesty praises falsely, it is the duty of the Great Qin boy to protect the family and defend the country, and what the minister does is just to follow his heart." Meng Tian said.

"The Mengqing family should not be modest, and the merit of waiting for others can not be exhausted in a few words." The First Emperor said.

The iron triangle combination composed of Fusu, Meng Tian and Meng Yi built the Great Wall, eradicated Wang Ben, defeated the Xiongnu, and strengthened the army to build the country.

The combination of the three of them is really a blessing for the Great Qin Kingdom.

In the future, this huge empire will be inherited by Fusu, assisted by the Montessori brothers, and the first emperor can also be relieved.

There is no doubt about the loyalty of the Montessori brothers, if they really had the intention of rebellion, they would have rebelled a long time ago, and they would not have waited until today.

Of course, Yingzheng has always used people without suspicion, and the Meng's loyalty to Daqin for generations shows their loyalty and intentions.

Meng Tian is still martial, protects the frontier and defends the country, so that the foreign country is undisturbed; Meng Yi follows the text and makes suggestions, which is a strategy for the ages.

In the eyes of the First Emperor, Meng Yi's talent, even if Ganluo was reborn, I am afraid that it is not as good as him, he can always surprise people and think of many strategies and opinions that others can't think of.

And today, although the forces of all parties are ready to move, but looking at the past and present, the founding emperor is not like this? The restoration of the old system is inevitable.

And the way to really eliminate and restore the old system is a wise policy, so that the people of the world can truly feel the warmth of the new dynasty, this is the so-called "governing the country", the world is easy to fight, but it is the most difficult to govern the country, this is the truth.

"Now I have set up a feast to celebrate you, so take a seat."

In order to express his importance to them, the first emperor even set up a banquet on the court, and the banquet set up by the court meeting on his body, which is not a treatment that everyone has.

Before the Song Dynasty, whether it was the king set up a hundred banquets, or the dignitaries and nobles invited others, all of them were divided into meals, as the name suggests, that is, everyone has a table, not like today, everyone gathers before the table, enjoy the sky and the moon, and sing the music.

Meng Tian, Meng Yi and Fusu are naturally in the first place, after all, they have the greatest credit, and others are understandable.

During the banquet, there were dancing girls to cheer up, and the dancers danced beside the pool in the center of the court, adding a bit of color to the banquet.

As the banquet progressed, everyone was drunk and slightly drunk, but there was only one person who seemed to be nothing, and this person was Meng Yi.

"Meng Yi, your kid has a lot of alcohol, why didn't I find out before?"

The First Emperor was in a happy mood, he drank happily, his face was faintly burgundy, and the eyes of the king were scattered, and his eyes were unfocused.

Meng Yi scratched his head and explained with a smile: "Chen Nai is born with a lot of alcohol, but he usually drinks less. ”

"Good boy, every time I drink this wine, I feel dizzy when I drink it at the top of a jar, and the drunkenness comes to my heart, but you have already drunk two jars, and you are still bright, and you have to be amazed."

It is not denied that Meng Yi is indeed a good amount of wine, but the alcohol content of ancient fine wine is really too low, and the distillation technology of ancient technology cannot meet modern requirements at all.

Therefore, among the fine wines they make, the alcohol content is low, much lower than the current beer degree, such as Meng Yi, who drinks two catties of Niulanshan, and then drinks these wines, let alone one jar, even ten jars are not enough to make him drunk.

The martial arts we often talk about, Jingyanggang drank eighteen bowls of liquor angrily, and beat the tiger to death with his fists, but in front of Meng Yi, it was nothing.

was praised by the first emperor for his large amount of wine, and Meng Yi could only respond with a smile, he couldn't say that your wine was simply drinking boiled water, and it wasn't energetic at all.

It is estimated that when people hear this, it must be a hateful word, especially the favorite of the ancients is the wine culture, as long as the man who drinks alcohol, there is no one who does not like to brag.

Now there is a saying that gives you a bottle of wine and you can blow the whole world

The First Emperor now likes Meng Yi more and more, if he had such a son, he would have passed the throne to him a long time ago, but unfortunately he is someone else's child.

When the banquet was dispersed, everyone was drunk, and even the Qin army stationed outside the city was the first time in the world, allowing the soldiers to drink and eat meat moderately, but not drunk, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law.

This is undoubtedly a great gift for those who have stayed in the barracks and have not drunk for several years.

On this day, everyone inside and outside Xianyang City was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, but something earth-shaking happened in Xingyang, thousands of miles away.

Since the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the rebel army led by them quickly occupied Xingyang, and the local people who were oppressed by the Qin State responded to them.

In order to strengthen the team, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang almost carried out a strict news blockade on the outside every place they occupied, preventing news from leaking, and were blocked and killed by the Qin army.

Now that they have revolted, it is not enough to fight against the huge Qin Empire, and the only way to do this is to make their wings full.

In the past two months, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have established themselves as kings, and have occupied Xingyang and Jiujiang Counties, approaching Hangu Pass.

It's so fast that it's jaw-dropping.

……

------

The news was blocked, and the huge Qin Empire did not receive news from afar, but they did not know that the danger was approaching step by step, and they were still immersed in the joy of defeating the Xiongnu.

After the end of the war, the most important thing is to reward the three armies for their meritorious deeds, and they should get it for the sake of the country.

According to the merits of each soldier, the court received corresponding rewards, or gold, silver and jewelry, or was named a centurion, a thousand, etc., in short, everyone received their corresponding reward.

And the general Meng Tian and the eldest son Fusu, they have long been extremely popular ministers, and it no longer means anything to them to be promoted to the rank of official, so the first emperor also rewarded gold, silver, jewelry and rare things.

There was no objection to this, but only one person's reward caused a sensation for everyone.

Needless to say, this person is Meng Yi.

His reward is different from others, there are no rare treasures, and the first emperor's reward for him is only three words: "Prime Minister Zuo!" ”

These three short words are enough to explain everything, and now Meng Yi is ranked as the secretary at a young age, which is already rare, but the words of the official to worship the prime minister have made many people dissatisfied.

From a young official to a prime minister, it is unheard of at all.

Whether it is the right prime minister Feng Quji, or the former left prime minister Li Si and Wang Juan, that person is not entrusted with a heavy task until he is middle-aged, and Meng Yi is at his age, in their opinion, he is just a milky little hairy head, and he was named prime minister only by virtue of a little meritorious service, which made them very dissatisfied.

Therefore, after the First Emperor announced the reward for Meng Yi, the opposition voices of the ministers rose and fell like waves, which can be seen.

"Your Majesty, at such an age as Meng Yi, how can he be promoted to Prime Minister Zuo? Please also ask Your Majesty to think twice and take back your fate. Someone said.

"Meng Yi is young and mentally immature, if he is the prime minister, wouldn't he treat the fate of the empire as child's play? This is a must-have. ”

"The minister also thinks that this reward is inappropriate."

……

For a while, the voice of opposition can be said to be full of the entire court, and the first emperor had already guessed this result, after all, the position of prime minister was too important.

The prime minister is the first of the three princes and nine secretaries, and the first of the hundred officials, with Meng Yi as the leader, how can those ministers with old qualifications be convinced? Therefore, their opposition is reasonable.

After everyone finished speaking, the First Emperor slowly spoke, "Have you all finished speaking?" If I finish speaking, then I will say a few words. ”

When His Majesty spoke, everyone had to hold back even if they wanted to speak, only to hear Ying Zheng say: "Fang Caier and others all said that Meng Yi is not qualified for the post of Prime Minister Zuo, and the reason is nothing more than his young age and immature mind. ”

"But haven't you forgotten? The county system, the imperial examination system, the waterwheel, smallpox, the Three Kingdoms and so on, dare to ask you, can you do these things? ”

Meng Yi's merits are not limited to these, and the first emperor listed only a few of them, but a few credits can be taken out casually, which is a miracle.

These feats are gathered in one person at the same time, and who can do such a thing?

"You keep saying that Meng Yi is young and frivolous, but is the policy of governing the country they proposed, and the law of Anbang feasible? And what about you? Living in the temple is high, doing nothing all day long, except for entering the hall, how much worse is it than Meng Yi? The First Emperor said.

"A group of people who have not made meritorious contributions, but they are talking about people who are full of meritorious deeds, don't you blush? If you really want to object, why don't you compare yourself with him? ”

In terms of meritorious service, Meng Yi is unparalleled, and comparing with him, wouldn't it be asking for hardship.

Sure enough, the crowd fell silent.

"In terms of talent and learning, you are not as good as Meng Yi; In terms of meritorious service, you are not as good as Meng Yi; In terms of governing the country, you might as well be Meng Yi, don't I make him prime minister, but reward you? ”

"This ......"

All the ministers' faces were flushed, and they were so panicked by the First Emperor that they didn't dare to raise their heads, but indeed, a group of people who ate dry rice were in the hearts of others, and they felt sorry for them if they didn't scold them.

Seeing that they had nothing to say, the First Emperor said, "Are you ashamed of what you have nothing to say?" Hum! Today, I have made up my mind! ”

"Meng Yi, promoted to Prime Minister Zuo! Those who dare to oppose it, kill!! ”
