Chapter 670: Four Seas One
At this banquet, Yinggao also met a person he had not seen before but wanted to see very much.
Yu Ji, who was famous in the history of the previous life, finally unveiled the veil of mystery at this time, Yinggao knew that Xiang Yu had poured a lot of emotion into this woman in his previous life, and even sighed at the emotions of the two when he was dying, enough to see that when Xiang Yu was about to say goodbye to this world, he was not afraid of death, but the only thing he was worried about in his heart, the only one who could not rest assured was Yu Ji.
Yu Ji had been following Xiang Yu on the territory of the Huns before, Yinggao naturally had no chance to see her, and Xiang Yu had always placed Yu Ji in the carriage on the way to Daqin before, although Yinggao was a little curious, but he couldn't go to the carriage to see what people looked like, right? In that case, it is estimated that Xiang Yu will definitely not be able to do it.
After seeing Yu Ji, Ying Gao finally knew why Xiang Yu returned to the realm of Great Qin and lived in the place where he grew up, instead of continuing to be Shan Yu of the Huns.
Yu Ji's face can't be said to be shockingly beautiful, but she has an inexplicable temperament on her body, as if no matter where she appears, she will become the focus of attention here.
Although Yinggao has two wives, and both Feng Qing and Tian Yan have their own temperaments, Yu Ji has another temperament that is different from the two of them.
In other words, Yu Ji's temperament is different from Feng Qing and Tian Yan, and it can even be said that it is another very prominent temperament.
If it was in the era before Yinggao, there would always be a very appropriate language to describe a woman like Yu Ji, that is, the goddess of coldness, yes, Yu Ji, who appeared at this banquet with Xiang Yu, had such a fairy spirit, so that both men and women at the banquet poured a lot of attention into her.
If Yu Ji was a little girl at this time, Yinggao might really be a little tempted by her, but she was already Xiang Yu's wife, and the two of them didn't know how long they had been together, so Yinggao was just a blessing to Xiang Yu at this time.
No matter what Xiang Yu has done before, but the generals and officials of Daqin know that Yinggao's attitude is the weather vane, since Yinggao can make Xiang Yu the county guard of Huiji County, it means that Xiang Yu has completely gained Yinggao's trust through his war with the Great Qin soldiers over the years, and Xiang Yu didn't bring a single guard this time, so he brought his family and some maids, as well as Yu Ji's various Yuzi periods, obviously not wanting to develop any great forces in the territory of Daqin.
Xiang Yu's transformation from an enemy of Great Qin to the county guard of the rich land in the south of Great Qin certainly made the officials of Great Qin too addicted, but Ying Gao's reward for Han Xin was what made them even more dumbfounded.
Han Xin was just a ranger in Jiangnan before, saying that he was a ranger, but in fact, they all looked down on him, many of these officials of Daqin knew it, and when Xiang Yu's Jiangdong was against Qin before, Han Xin also took Xiang Yu by his side for an unknown amount of time, this is his not very glorious history, and it is not a history that can be hidden from everyone.
But under such circumstances, Yinggao has not had the slightest suspicion of Han Xin since the day he fought Han Xin under his command, and what Han Xin brought to Yinggao was that he won any battle, and Yinggao was very beautiful.
From the time when Yinggao took a small number of men and horses alone to exterminate the anti-Qin team, Han Xin repeatedly used his own tactics to make the Great Qin's team win, and then Yinggao's war against the Xiongnu, the war against the Mauryan Empire, the war against the Seleuc, the war against Rome, large and small wars Han Xin no longer knows how many he has commanded, in the process, he has become a veritable god of war in Great Qin.
Now Han Xin's achievements have made the officials and people of Daqin think that Ying Gao's marriage of his only sister of the same mother to Han Xin is not Han Xin's luck, but Ying Gao's decision to make a very famous one.
At this banquet, when Yinggao told all the credits of Han Xin as the coach this time, before he could announce the reward for Han Xin, something happened that stunned everyone.
I saw that Meng Yi, the first person of the hundred officials of Great Qin, suddenly walked out of the banquet, and walked straight to Yinggao, and then bowed his head, and then before Yinggao spoke, he said that he had something to ask Yinggao, and asked Yinggao if he could agree to him.
After Yinggao saw Meng Yi's performance, his heart moved slightly, and then he greatly praised the contributions of the two brothers Meng Yi and Meng Tian to Daqin over the years, and said that on this happy day today, no matter what the two brothers Meng Yi and Meng Tian want, Yinggao will definitely meet the two of them.
After this, Meng Yi made a request that surprised everyone.
Meng Yi looked at Yinggao, and then at his younger brother Meng Tian, only to see that Meng Tian was looking at him with a smile, obviously Meng Tian already knew what he was going to say, and was very supportive of what he had to say.
"Your Majesty, I am already old, although thanks to the love of the Emperor, I have been on top of my position as the Grand Lieutenant of Great Qin in recent years, but I have become more and more powerless, and now I see that General Han Xin is already enough to take on the great responsibility, so I want to resign from the post of Imperial Lieutenant, and recommend General Han Xin to serve as it, and I will return to my own mansion to enjoy my old age, and I hope that the monarch will agree!"
After saying this, the originally very lively banquet was basically silent, and everyone looked at the little friends around them silently, saying that they didn't know what was going on.
But Meng Yi's words have already been finished, and Yinggao has said before that no matter what conditions people put forward, he will try his best to meet them, so this time almost everyone looked at Yinggao to see how he would respond to Meng Yi's request.
This incident made Ying Gao a little stunned for a while, he did have the idea that the position of the lieutenant was prepared for Han Xin, but that was because Han Xin was still young, and he would not have a chance to take the position until Meng Yi was really no longer able to contribute to this position.
According to Yinggao's original prediction, with Meng Yi's body, he should be able to work in this position for three and a half years, but he didn't expect Meng Yi to make such a request at this time.
But after thinking about it, Yinggao was relieved, the ages of the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi were almost the same, and the relationship between the two of them was quite good, but over the years, Meng Tian had almost been guarding Shangjun outside, and then followed Yinggao on an expedition to Seleuc, which made the opportunity for Meng Yi and Meng Tian to meet was very rare.
Now Yinggao has decided to let Meng Tian return to the field, of course, he will not let Meng Tian really go to farming, he will let Meng Tian still serve as a senior official in the Great Qin Dynasty, but whether he wants to take care of some things, it is basically up to Meng Tian to have the final say.
Obviously, Meng Yi now knows the treatment that Meng Tian is going to enjoy, Yinggao knows that Meng Yi mostly saw that his brothers were able to return to Xianyang City to enjoy the blessings, but he was still tired in the court, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, so he brought up this matter, and this time Meng Yi mastered is undoubtedly very ingenious, and now just as Han Xin has made such a great feat, it is not an exaggeration to give him any kind of reward, that is, to reward Han Xin, Yinggao is actually quite difficult to do.
But now with Meng Yi's words, isn't it difficult to Yinggao, and directly gave Han Xin the position of the head of the three princes, the chief lieutenant, and naturally there is nothing else, right?
From another point of view, Yinggao definitely didn't believe that Meng Yi would have any reluctance to the position of Tai Lieutenant.
On the one hand, Meng Yi is not like Xiao He and the others are Yinggao's cronies or officials promoted by Yinggao himself, he is basically left by the first emperor, but Yinggao did not abandon him because of this, but has always let him serve as the chief lieutenant of the three princes, which is enough to show that Yinggao appoints officials according to their talents, not according to their closeness.
From this aspect alone, Meng Yi should only be grateful to Yinggao, and there should be no negative emotions.
There is another point, that is, the role played by Meng Tian and Yinggao in the major wars is also very large, and in this era, Meng Tian and Meng Yi can never be seen separately at some times, so the two brothers must be loyal to Daqin, and the decisions they make must be considered from Daqin's point of view, rather than their own angry behavior.
After Meng Yi made this request, Yinggao did stay for a while and did not answer immediately, because the appointment and dismissal of the Taiwei is undoubtedly a very big matter, and this time is a banquet, not a very formal occasion.
If it was someone else who brought up this matter, no matter whether Ying Gao thought it was correct or not, he would let that person retreat first, and then wait until when he arrived at the court to talk about these things.
But for Meng Yi, he definitely can't use such a method.
"For the sake of Great Qin, of course, Taiwei admires me very much, to have this move, it is really worthy of the tradition of the Meng clan's loyal martyrs, since this matter was so solemnly proposed by Taiwei, I will naturally agree, but in what capacity Taiwei will act in the court in the future, I still have to think about it, Taiwei will return to the banquet first, and I will naturally not disappoint Taiwei tomorrow, how about it?"
Ying Gao said such a sentence, in addition to recognizing Meng Yi's relinquishment of the position of Tai Lieutenant to Han Xin, it also showed that he still valued Meng Yi very much, even if he did not hold the position of Tai Lieutenant, he would still have a very important identity and role in the court of Daqin, of course, this would be much easier and more free than the important identity of Tai Lieutenant.
Yinggao believes that this must be a result that can satisfy Meng Yi, people have been involved in deciding the government of Great Qin for so many years, and suddenly they faded out, no matter who it is, they may be a little unbearable.
With Meng Yi's return to the banquet, this matter came to an end, but the banquet continued, Han Xin should have become the focus of this banquet, and Ying Gao looked at the people at the banquet with a smile, he knew that these people were really relaxed now.
Before, they didn't know what kind of things were on the other side of the Western Regions, and they all thought that after destroying Nanyue and the Xiongnu, Great Qin could already be regarded as dominating the world.
But when the gate of the Western Regions opened, and Ying Gao informed them that Great Qin was just one of the various forces in the world, many Great Qin people were very panicked.
They were afraid that there was a very powerful force in a distant place, and they originally didn't know about the existence of Great Qin, but because Great Qin opened the Western Regions and walked out, people knew about the existence of Great Qin, so they would definitely come to attack Great Qin.
Such a thought enveloped many officials and people of Great Qin for a short time, they did not know what kind of battle Great Qin's armies were fighting outside the Western Regions, let alone the news of Great Qin's victory in the first place.
Especially for a long time before, Yinggao was not in Xianyang City, and they didn't know what kind of war it was to make the emperor go to the front line.
They were all afraid that what would happen to Yinggao in front of them, if that was really the case, they now felt that Daqin, who was already many times stronger than ten years ago, would be gone.
Until Yinggao came back, there were a lot of generals with Daqin, and it was announced that Daqin had destroyed all the forces in this world that could pose a threat to him, in other words, Daqin dominated the world.
Such words came out of Yinggao's mouth, which made all the people who were worried breathe a long sigh of relief, so they really relaxed at this moment, Daqin was invincible, if they couldn't relax, then Yinggao didn't know how to let the officials under his command really relax.
Looking at the crowd pushing cups and changing lamps at the bottom, Yinggao suddenly thought of a sentence he had seen in his previous life: Six kings, four seas and one.
Of course, the person who wrote these words didn't know that Daqin was not a single person in the four seas at the beginning, and now Yinggao can finally proudly say this sentence to the people of the world, under his rule, Daqin has truly realized the situation of unification of the four seas.
