When Xun suddenly and the princes of the Western Regions were shocked by Xianyang in the snow, the emperor's study in Xianyang Palace was as warm as spring. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info (Literature Museum) on both sides of the jade ice and fire walls more than one zhang high are placed on the left and right sides of the emperor's study and stand against the wall. Through the emerald jade, you can see the red charcoal fire burning in the hollowed-out jade wall, and the end is wonderful.

Every time he saw this wall of ice and fire, Hu Hai had to admire that Zhao Gao really had some ability to wait for people. Meng Tian just said casually, and Zhao Gao immediately created this wall of ice and fire to curry favor with the First Emperor.

Two people in the emperor's study were drinking each other.

Sitting at the top is naturally the current Great Qin Emperor Hu Hai, and below is Meng Tian, the Duke of Jiuyuan, who returned from Hexi.

Meng Tian actually just returned to Xianyang, but it was only more than ten days. Meng Tian, who was supposed to arrive in Xianyang in the month, suddenly fell ill on the way back from Hexi. Meng Tian, who had been in the bitter cold land of the northwest for almost half a year and was already only half a hundred years old, was not lightly ill, and he had been recuperating in Caohan City for nearly two months. Meng Tian's fall to the middle of the court suddenly became turbulent.

Hu Hai just ordered to strip off the Jiuyuan Army in Meng Tian's hands, and here Meng Tian fell ill on the way back to Xianyang, it's really a bit too coincidental, isn't it? Suddenly, many people understood that it was very likely that this Jiuyuan Duke was not really sick and couldn't leave, and he was afraid that he would express his dissatisfaction with the emperor in another way.

I have to say that there are indeed many people who have such thoughts, and even the cabinet ministers Feng Quji and Li You have both reminded Hu Hai several times openly and secretly, asking Hu Hai to send the imperial doctor from the Tai Hospital to rush to Caohan. On the one hand, if Meng Tian is really sick, then it just shows the emperor's grace; On the other hand, if Meng Tian was pretending to be sick, he would naturally not be able to pretend when he heard that the imperial court was going to send a imperial doctor to come for treatment. It's also good to knock it out in secret.

Whether Meng Tian is a real illness or a fake illness, in fact, Hu Hai knows better than everyone else. Long Di, Long Zhou, and Long Huang have been following Meng Tian all the time, and it can't be said that Meng Tian knows what color underwear he is wearing, at least whether Meng Tian is really sick or fake Hu Hai is still very clear.

Meng Tian is really sick, and the illness is not light.

At this time, the three counties of Shangdang, Taiyuan, and Julu were flooded and flooded, and after Hu Hai asked the Tai Hospital to send two imperial doctors to Caohan, he spent all his energy on disaster relief.

Hu Hai didn't mention it. The matter of Jiuyuan Gong falling ill and not returning gradually began to subside in the imperial court.

Today is Hu Hai who Meng Tian is looking for. Counting it, it has been more than half a year since Hu Hai and Meng Tian last met. Meng Tian returned to Xianyang, and Hu Hai had no other will except for asking Wang Yan to send some of the treasured supplements in the palace and instruct him to live and recuperate in the mansion. After all, the imperial doctor who should have said that he went to Cao Han to treat Meng Tian had already come back and said it as it was.

There was no one else in the study, just Hu Hai and Meng Tianjunchen.

Hu Hai looked at Meng Tian, whose face was pale, and even his back, which had always been straight, became a little rickety. But he was wondering if he was a little too harsh on Meng Tian. And Meng Tian looked at Hu Hai with a tired face, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

Although he was recuperating in Caohan far away, the big and small things that happened in the court could not be concealed from Meng Tian, after all, Meng Yi was still a minister, wasn't it? Even if Meng Yi is not a secretary of the ministry, with the power that the Meng clan has accumulated in the court in the past hundred years, Meng Tian who should know can still know, and Meng Tian who should not know also knows a lot more than ordinary people.

The battle of Beacon City was earlier than the news that Hu Hai received, and the reason why Su Jiao was a little slow was that he was worried that his unauthorized transfer of troops would make the imperial court suspicious. In fact, part of the reason is that he is waiting for Meng Tian's order.

After controlling the Jiuyuan Army for more than 20 years, Meng Tian's influence on the Jiuyuan Army far exceeded the evaluation of the Jiuyuan Army by the ministers of the court and Hu Hai. Through the generals at all levels, large and small, who were born in the Meng clan or were promoted by Meng Tian's hands, in the Jiuyuan Army, Meng Tian's orders were strictly speaking much better than Hu Hai's orders. Of course. Except during the lifetime of the First Emperor.

Hu Hai split the Jiuyuan Army, transferred Meng Tian and senior generals of the Jiuyuan Army such as Xin Sheng Su Jiao, and promoted Meng Tian to control the Jiuyuan Army, Meng Tian knew what it was for. If Meng Tian really didn't have a little idea, it was impossible, and many generals of the Jiuyuan Army also knew in their hearts that they were even preparing to jointly write a letter asking Hu Hai to retract the order, especially when they learned that Meng Tian was going to be transferred from the position of commander of the Jiuyuan Army.

These things. were forcibly pressed down by Meng Tian. Meng Tian knew very well that the emperor gave him the position of the first prince of Great Qin, the position of the secretary of Meng Yi's ministry, the position of the general of the Mengli Forbidden Army, and so on. What is all this for.

After all, the emperor still felt guilty about the Mengshi clan in his heart, or it was just a disguised exchange.

If he doesn't know the times and continues to let the generals of the Jiuyuan Army write to the emperor and want to keep him in the Jiuyuan Army, then in the end, what he brings to the Meng clan or the generals of the Jiuyuan Army can only be a catastrophe.

Great Qin is the Great Qin of the Win clan, and there is only one object of allegiance from all people, and that is the Great Qin Emperor.

Maybe the emperor will temporarily back down for the sake of the stability of Great Qin, but when the emperor is ready or the time comes, it is inevitable to settle accounts after the autumn. Meng Tian knew this, and the entire Meng clan also knew it.

Today's Great Qin is no longer the Great Qin when the little emperor just ascended the throne.

Therefore, Meng Tian honestly obeyed Hu Hai's arrangement, took the rewards he gave with peace of mind, and did not have any dissatisfaction when he was deprived of military power. Of course, Meng Tian himself had no other thoughts in his heart.

Turning himself into an outsider and quietly watching Hu Hai's various actions, the last bit of loss and dissatisfaction in Meng Tian's heart gradually faded.

Delegating power to the cabinet, reforming the official system, reforming the rule of officials, exempting Qingyao from punishment, mobilizing a large army to participate in disaster relief, and even leaving Beijing to rush to the disaster area, etc., all kinds of actions show that what the little emperor did was not just to ensure his throne, but more for the entire Great Qin and for the people of the world.

Meng Tian was indeed much more comfortable in his heart.

The only thing that made Meng Tian a little dissatisfied was that the emperor seemed to be too interested in expanding his territory. It's okay to say that the Huns drove the Huns to the north, after all, the Huns have been invading Great Qin for hundreds of years, and it is time to make some moves; So what is the purpose of secretly mobilizing a large army to go north to the wild land in the northeast and setting up two counties in Annam and Hexi? After the Battle of Beacon City, he even directly dispatched 100,000 White Tiger troops to the west, obviously waiting until the beginning of spring to have another big war to happen.

What is the use of those wild places? Great Qin is big enough now, isn't it?

Of course, these things are not the main purpose of Meng Tian's coming today, he is here today to "retire and retire", that is to say, Meng Tian is here to resign.
