Chapter 109: The king has lost weight again

Zhangtai Palace was the main imperial palace of the Qin Empire south of the Wei River, and all major political activities of the Qin State were held here.

The king of Qin sat on the chapter platform and saw the same, so he returned to Zhao.

Jing Ke stabbed the king of Qin in Zhangtai, so it was easy to break the swallow and water.

In the process of Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, "the princes all faced west and faced under the Zhangtai." ”

Later, after Ying Zheng took control of the empire, he regarded Zhangtai Palace as the main dormitory, because he had too many newspapers to review every day, so he lived in Zhangtai Palace.

In the words of later generations, Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng was basically a diligent boss who lived in the office from the time he succeeded to the throne.

Therefore, the garrison of Zhangtai Palace is extremely strict, basically three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the city wall is also full of crossbowmen and marksmen, and the defense can be described as airtight.

Whether it is inside or outside the palace, it is spotless, and there will be no idle people walking around the palace at will.

But today is different, in the serious Zhangtai Palace, there is a fat donkey, wandering in the palace like a leisurely stroll, the eunuch on duty looked at this stupid donkey in horror, and spoiled the precious strange flowers and plants in the palace, but he didn't dare to stop it, just because this stupid donkey was brought in by the old man in sackcloth sitting at the door of the main hall.

The thin old man in sackling sat there, no one dared to stand in this Zhangtai Palace, including the soldiers on duty on the city wall, they all knelt on the ground, staring at the old man with feverish eyes.

Meng Tian held the water bladder and stayed by the old man's side, watching the old man's originally gray face become more and more gloomy, and frowned and admonished, "General, I have been waiting for half an hour, your body can't bear it, and besides, the king has pardoned you to enter the palace and wait." ”

Wang Jian slowly opened his eyes, looked at Meng Tian, and smiled, "That's the king's grace, but it's not the capital that we can rely on for our courtiers, that's the palace, you are ahead of the king?" ”

Meng Tian was slightly stunned, pursed his lips and stopped talking, handed the water bladder to Wang Qian, and glanced at the stupid donkey who was still ruining the treasures in the garden, "Then why did the general bring that donkey in?" And let it be so indulgent? ”

"Let it indulge, it won't be long anyway, it's just a stupid donkey, homeless and unemployed, just a cheap life, even if it is chopped alive, it's just a nod to the ground, what are you compared to a beast?" Wang Jian took a sip of water and said with a smile.

Meng Tian's breath was stagnant, his face changed slightly, he didn't care about Wang Jian scolding him, because even if Wang Jian humiliated him so much, he wouldn't feel guilty, because this person was Wang Qian.

On the contrary, he also wants to thank Wang Qian.

Because Wang Jian seems to be teaching him the great truth of being a minister.

The stupid donkey will be presumptuous, thinking that it is just a brute, and there is no concern.

But if a minister still dares to be presumptuous, it may be worse than a stupid donkey.

"Thank you, General, for your teachings." Meng Tian said gratefully.

"Here we are." Wang Jian moved his ears, struggled to stand up, faced the direction of the palace gate, and leaned down.

Meng Tian pinned the water bladder to his waist and knelt to the side.

Ying Zheng's six carriages were huge, especially the sound of stepping on the masonry ground, which could be heard from hundreds of meters away.

After a while, the door of Zhangtai Palace was opened, and at the same time, the shouts of the guards on duty were heard, "The king returns to the palace!" ”

Then there was a tsunami of worship in the Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng's carriage stopped not far in front of Wang Qian, and before Zhao Gao could stop the frame, Ying Zheng had already jumped off the car, and Zhao Gao was shocked into a cold sweat.

"Why is the teacher suffering here? Zhao Zhanshi, are you a dead man? Ying Zheng curtled his knees to help Wang Jian get up, and roared at Zhao Congge, who came out of the hall.

It's really like a filial disciple who respects his teacher.

"The king is angry, the old minister just misses the king too much, and wants to see the king earlier." Wang Jian had a gentle smile on his face, "The king has lost weight again." ”

Ying Zheng's breathing was inexplicably stagnant, the expression on his face froze, and there was a trace of sourness in his heart, "The teacher is so ruthless, I don't want to let the widow go to see you for so many years." ”

"The king is the lord of the Ninety-Five, and he sees that my dying person is ominous." Wang Jian coughed after speaking.

"Teacher, I'll carry you in and talk about it, it's windy outside." After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he had to carry Wang Jian up.

"No king!"

"Slow down!"

Wang Jian and Zhao Congge spoke at the same time.

Zhao Gao and Meng Tian tacitly took a step forward, squatted down in front of Wang Qian, and said in unison, "The minister is willing to serve the general." ”

After saying that, the two looked at each other and raised their eyebrows at the same time.

"Your Majesty is just like back then, the old minister has mixed feelings, and he is very honored." Wang Jianqing coughed and arched his hand, "Although the old minister is dying, it is still okay to walk into Zhangtai Palace." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, "Then I'll hold the teacher." ”

Wang Jian did not shirk this time, and let Yingzheng help him to walk to Zhangtai Palace.

Zhao Congle's face twitched, and his narrowed eyes flashed with anger and stared at Wang Qian.

Wang Jian turned a deaf ear and laughed at Yingzheng's family affairs.

Meng Tian and Zhao Gao walked to the door and didn't go in, one left and one right guarded the door of the store.

Since Jing Ke's assassination of Qin last time, the main hall of Zhangtai Palace has been repaired, and it is rare to summon courtiers, basically full of bamboo slips and military newspapers.

"I heard that the king reviews the bamboo slips every day, even the Duke of Zhou is ashamed of himself, and the king is the master of the king of all generations, but the old minister still wants to say more, the king must not work too hard, the state affairs are troubled, but the courtiers are divided into the king's worries, otherwise why raise so many wine bags and rice bags?" Wang Jian said softly to Ying Zheng.

"The widow knows the teacher's intentions, but now everything is not going well in Daqin, there are six remnants of the six countries that have not been eliminated, and there are Donghu Huns and wolves eyeing the wolf, and the widow has to work hard, for fear that the ancestral foundation will be defeated in the hands of the widow." Ying Zheng sighed and said, helping Wang Jian to sit down, without the intention of sitting back on the throne, and staying by Wang Qian's side like a junior.

"The Hun barbarians have invaded the border again?" Wang Jian frowned when he heard this.

"The Xiongnu are quite stable, since Wu Anjun broke Zhao to drive the Xiongnu in thousands of miles, the Xiongnu have never dared to invade the border again, and now the great Qin's fierce enemy is the Donghurong people." Ying Zheng sighed again, "The eldest brother went out to Yan Country this time, and saw the destruction of the city and plundered the land, but was suddenly killed out of the East Hurong people to disrupt, and now he is deadlocked in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, seeing that the sky is going to fall frost and snow, the widow is really worried that the eldest brother is suffering in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, I heard that the eldest brother was seriously ill as soon as he entered Liaodong, and the widow was extremely anxious when he heard about it. ”

"Yongzi!" Wang Jian suddenly shouted angrily, his withered face was full of anger, "I will send troops, I can't defend the country for the king!" Ashamed of the king's holy grace, such a mediocre general will inevitably be punished by the king, when will my Great Qin Iron Cavalry be so bad that I will be afraid of barbarians and stalemate with it? ”

"Teacher, rest easy." Ying Zheng slapped Wang Jian who was coughing because of shortness of breath, "The eldest brother is by no means a mediocre talent, since the teacher retired, the eldest brother is my right-hand man, and everything is broken, but this trip to Liaodong is indeed an accident, we have no communication with Donghu, and we don't know the other party's roots, I didn't expect this gang of Rong barbarians to gather 300,000 people, and they are all people in armor and control." ”

"Oh?" Wang Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, "300,000 people who control the strings? ”

"Teacher, please see." Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Congge.

Zhao Congge took the bamboo slip from the Wang case.

So the two monarchs and ministers began to review the military newspaper and analyze the military situation, making people think that Wang Jian really entered the palace to help Yingzheng relieve his worries.

There is no mention of why he entered the palace.

Zhao Congge waited on the side expressionlessly, paying careful attention to Wang Qian's every word, trying to catch the disrespect in Wang Qian's words, but unfortunately, Wang Jian seemed to be really immersed in the military report, and there was nothing else to think about.

Does the king want to exhaust this old immortal?

Zhao Gao, who was guarding the door, was also paying attention to the situation in this hall, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

But Wang Jian is worthy of being a veteran of Rong Ma's life, Ying Zheng accumulated half a month's military report, and in less than two quarters of an hour, Wang Jian smoothed it out, and even the situation in Liaodong and the consumption of grain and grass were estimated, which made Ying Zheng breathtaking.

"The teacher is really still immortal, and the disciple admires it." Ying Zheng said sincerely.

"The king is in love, the old minister is really old, and his eyes have been spent on this military and political affairs." Wang Jian closed his eyes, smiled and waved his hand, "But when I am still breathing, I can still relieve the king's worries, although the old minister has no regrets." ”

"The teacher is my great Qin Xiangrui, with a long lifespan, don't say these words that make the widow sad, with the teacher here, the widow can relax for a while, if the teacher is not there, the widow's heart may never be relieved." Ying Zheng's face was sad.

"The dog is incompetent, please forgive the king." Wang Jian suddenly said.

"The teacher misunderstood." Ying Zheng was shocked and hurriedly said.

"Over the years, I have been cultivating in Zhongnan Mountain, but I have met a lot of famous people in the mountains and wilderness, and I have learned a lot of hundreds of theories, and the deepest feeling is that the way of heaven is constant, except for the saints of the Son of Heaven, it is difficult for the laity to get rid of the vulgar after all, if there is a person who is otherworldly, it must be the aura that occupies several generations of the family, although the old minister is not a hero, but thanks to the king of the king, the first king, and the favor of the king, Wang Jian can be said to occupy the three generations of the emperor's grace, this grace, Wang Jian is willing to smear the liver and brain, and die a hundred times." Wang Jian suddenly spoke with compassion.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why does the teacher say this, the teacher is the immortal hero of Great Qin, assisting the three dynasties, and it is my great Qin's luck to have the help of the teacher." ”

"If you can, the Wang family is willing to be loyal to the country for generations." Wang Jian screamed sadly, "It's a pity that the dog Wang Ben is stupid, it is difficult to share the worries of the king, it is difficult to repay the king's kindness, and my grandson is even more..."

Speaking of this, Wang Jian suddenly choked up and burst into tears silently.

Ying Zheng and Zhao Congge's hearts were suddenly shocked, and they looked at each other tacitly, and the secret was not good.

Sure enough, Wang Jian was about to suddenly attack.

Just when Ying Zheng was thinking about how to break the situation, suddenly the report of the doorkeeper came from outside the palace, "Lu Jun and the eighteenth prince are here!" ”

Wang Jian pursed his lower lip and did not continue to speak.

"Nonsense, what are you doing at this time? Teacher, wait a minute, I'll go and drive that stinky boy away" Ying Zheng was overjoyed, but his face remained angry, and he got up and prepared to scream.

But before Ying Zheng walked to the door, a little boy who was made of pink jade rushed in like a leather ball, and when he saw Ying Zheng's face full of anger, his little face instantly stiffened, and he was about to withdraw from the hall with a frown.

But the big black and white eyes swept in the hall, and when he saw Wang Qian, he raised his cute little face, and shouted in a milky voice, "Father! ”

The hall was silent for an instant, Zhao Gao and Meng Tian's eyes widened, Ying Zheng's face showed a surprised expression, and Wang Qian's expression was even more frozen.

Only Zhao Congge quickly came back to his senses, looked at Lu Sheng and Han Zhong who were hurrying outside the hall, and squinted his eyes, revealing a touch of imperceptible killing intent.
