At sunset, the fiery red sun hung in the western sky, hovering high in the sky like a disc.

Today, the royal court is full of lights, the people are jubilant, the princes are singing, and the old queen mother's birthday is also coming to an end with the arrival of the night.

On this night, the night of the royal court was particularly quiet and serene, and this feeling was like after a battle, when the roar of the fighting dissipated, the moment of purity made people feel extremely comfortable.

At night, the moon in the royal court was very bright, and the white moonlight sprinkled on the earth like hoarfrost, as if a thin veil of light was spread between heaven and earth.

The night was uneventful, and at dawn, the sun rose in the east, and the first rays of sunlight pierced the sky, illuminating the whole land.

After a night's rest, everyone has started a new work, as if they are back to normal, and the joys of yesterday are forgotten and replaced by a busy day.

However, there was one person who had spread throughout the royal court and beyond.

This person is Tuoba Yi.

In the royal court, he fought against Bars, fought against the leaders of various tribes, and then defeated the Huns on the first day of Helan Rongruo, whose prestige has long been spread abroad, and has become the talk of the people after dinner.

In the inn and tavern, all the deeds were discussed, and where the people had seen the real things, they all listened to what others talked about.

The three of them became tigers, and over time, they had already deviated from the origin of the matter, and even worse, they put on a layer of god for Meng Yi.

Perhaps, this is the legendary rumor, the three of them become tigers, to spread falsehoods, unconsciously, the truth has been slowly covered up, and often the people like to hear the most is not the truth, but the myth given by the truth, although they know that this is false, but the heart will still can't bear to want to listen.

Because of this, the word 'Tuoba Yi' has gradually become the most worshiped god in people's hearts.

At a young age, how strong his strength is, and his literary attainments are even more crushing Helan Rongruo, if it weren't for God, how could there be such a big man in the world?

Inexplicably, Tuoba Yi's voice spread far and outside the royal court, and was brought to various tribes, and his reputation can be said to have spread far and wide throughout the Xiongnu.

Because Meng Yi's reputation was so great that Helan Rongruo basically didn't mention it anymore, which couldn't help but make him very angry. If there is no Meng Yi, the person who will become famous will definitely be himself.

Therefore, because of this, jealousy made Helan Rongruo's heart twisted.

And the most unacceptable thing for him was that Tou Mandanyu actually asked him to go to Xiaoshengxian Village to study.

thought that leaving the royal court would be Meng Yi, but as a result, he actually wanted to go to a place with him, and how could he bear it?!

But knowing that this was an order alone, he wanted to oppose it, but he was afraid that he couldn't, so he had no choice but to accept this cruel fact.

Three days after the end of the old queen's birthday, Helan Rongruo had already returned to Qilu Xiaoshengxianzhuang in advance, in order to prevent Meng Yi from entering Xiaoshengxianzhuang smoothly, he had to go back and prepare in advance.

What Master Xun values most is not a person's knowledge, but a person's character, if his mind is not right, even if he has a talent against the sky, he will never accept it.

"Tuoba Yi, do you want to enter the Little Sage Village? I'm not going to let you get away with it. ”

Standing under the royal court, Helan Rongruo turned sideways and glanced back at the royal court, this return brought him too many blows, he didn't want to stay for a moment, so he could only return to Qilu quickly, tell Tuoba Yi about all kinds of "evil deeds", and let Master Xun take him away.

After making up his mind, he instructed the servant: "Return to the Little Sage Village immediately, the sooner the better!" ”

After that, he saw the horse team and his party marching away and left in a hurry.

Qin State, Xianyang Palace.

The First Emperor stood on the steps of the palace, looking down on the imperial city with a gentleman's posture, he held the bluestone railing with one hand, and the Tianwen Sword hanging from his waist with the other.

His expression was solemn, and he looked like a son of heaven, this young king who dominated the land of China was in deep thought at this moment.

Beside him, there were two people following him, Li Si and Zhao Gao on the left and right sides.

Since Meng Yi proposed the county system, he wanted him to assist Li Si in this matter, but what did happen like that, Meng Yi and Fusu disappeared one after another.

In desperation, Li Si and Zhao Gao could only handle the relevant matters of the county system, because both of them were meritorious, so Li Si was promoted to prime minister, replacing the position of the old prime minister Wang Juan.

And Zhao Gao is also a lot of merit, and the first emperor promoted him to the "CRRC Mansion Order".

The two followed behind the First Emperor, seeing that His Majesty was silent, they didn't dare to say more, Ying Zheng looked at it for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Li Si, how long has it been since Gongzi Fusu was attacked?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, no more, no less, just half a year."

"It's been half a year? Time flies!! ”

The First Emperor looked up and sighed, in the past half a year, he sent batch after batch of people to investigate the matter, never stopped, but the result was always unsatisfactory.

Time flies, and I can't imagine that half a year has passed.

"Continue to send people to investigate, as long as Fusu's body is not found for a day, the investigation will not end in a day, I don't believe it, within the universe, all the kings of the earth, can a big living person disappear out of thin air?!" The First Emperor said stubbornly.

"Whoa!"

Li Si ordered him to leave, and after he left, the First Emperor said to Zhao Gao: "Zhao Gao, I have recently ordered the princes to study, what is the result?" Is that prince up to the task? ”

"Your Majesty, among all the princes, Hu Hai, the eighteenth son, is hardworking, tireless, and the most serious." Zhao Gao said.

"Hu Hai?"

The First Emperor was a little surprised, that child had always been playful, and what he hated most was reading and literacy, but now he had changed his appearance, which was indeed surprising.

Seeing the thoughts in his belly, Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, since the disappearance of Prince Su Fu, Prince Hu Hai saw that you were working hard day and night, and he couldn't bear it, so he changed his ways, restrained the normal state of playing in the past, and studied hard, saying that he wanted to share the heavy responsibility for you like the imperial brother." ”

"That's what he said?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can find out if you ask Prince Huhai." Zhao Gao said.

For Zhao Gao's words, the First Emperor still believed it very much, and a father learned that his son could have such thoughts, and he was not moved in his heart, it was absolutely false.

Ying Zheng is the Emperor of Great Qin, but he is also a person, and in front of family affection, he will also show emotion.

The First Emperor shook his head and said with a pleased smile: "Hu Hai, this child, has finally grown up. ”

Among the many princes, his favorite ones are Fusu and Hu Hai, although Hu Hai is a little nonsense, likes to be clever, and should always be grateful for the things of the gentlemen, but he always believes that the prodigal son will not change his money.

Just like myself at the beginning, why not?

"Yes, in the past six months, Gongzi Hu Hai has worked hard, and his growth, the slave maid sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart." Zhao Gao said.

Zhao Gao said so, but is this really the case? I'm afraid it's not quite.

In the Xiyuan Academy, it is true that Hu Hai studies seriously, but every time he reads, his heart has already flown away from the clouds, and he is absent-minded all day long.

Of course, this is not known to the First Emperor.

Zhao Gao, who was the commander of the CRRC government, was in charge of the inner court of the harem and blocked all the bad news about Hu Hai, and all the good news about him was told to Ying Zheng, so that Ying Zheng's perception of Hu Hai completely deviated.

"You are doing a good job and continue to strengthen the supervision of him."

"Whoa!"

"By the way, how is the preparation over there of the eldest princess?" The First Emperor asked.

"The princess's side is ready, ready to go at any time." Zhao Gao said.

"Let her go, since Meng Yi left, it has hit her hard, and now that half a year has passed, the pain in her heart may be better, and changing the environment will be good for her to get out of the haze."

Half a year ago, after Fusu, Meng Yi and others were attacked and disappeared, Ying Zisu closed herself off and sank into grief all day long.

The first emperor couldn't bear it, and in order to make her mood better, he issued an edict to Qilu Xiaoshengxianzhuang to let the eldest princess go to Xiaoshengxianzhuang to study.

Ying Zisu was worried that she would regret missing Meng Yi's news when she left, so she refused to leave. Half a year has passed.

Finally, a few days ago, the eldest princess finally figured it out and decided to go to the Little Sage Village to study.

"Forgive the slave maid for saying a lot, even if Your Majesty wants the eldest princess to go out for a walk, but this is a long way to go to the Little Sage Village, and the way is thousands of miles away, is it too difficult for the eldest princess." Zhao Gao said, "And the land of Qilu is too far away from Xianyang, if the princess has an accident, she wants to send someone to rescue her, but she can't do it." ”

"There's no need to worry about this, because I've already arranged it."

"Your Majesty has already made arrangements?"

"What? Do I need to report anything to you? ”

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave is just curious, Your Majesty is not a god." Zhao Gao was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask again.

The First Emperor snorted: "Zhao Gao, remember that you are just a eunuch, take care of your inner court, if you dare to test me again, be careful of your dog's head." ”

"The slave knows it's wrong."

"It's good to know what you're wrong, get out!!"

Zhao Gao was secretly ruthless, but he didn't dare to show it, and after giving instructions, he was busy rolling down.

Royal Court!

A few days later, Meng Yi received an order from Touman Danyu to go to Qilu Little Sage Village for further study with Hermione County Lord, and after getting the will, they did not dare to delay, and after preparing the necessary luggage, they set off on the road.

For the safety of their journey, Touman Danyu sent a force to protect and stop them from leaving at the border between the Xiongnu and Qin.

At the same time, from outside Xianyang City, there was another convoy that was also rushing to Xiaoshengxian Village.
