Chapter 91: The Fifth Southern Tour
"Okay, let's talk about Tianluo's affairs later. Let's talk about the assassination of General Meng first. Meng Yi, who gave you the courage to lead the troops to crash into the CRRC Decree! ”
Emperor Qin turned his head and asked Li Yi.
"Your Majesty, Rong Chen explained. After hearing that his brother had died, his heart was full of resentment, and he wanted to kill the culprit immediately! ”
Speaking of this, Li Yi looked at Zhao Gao with a fierce gaze.
Zhao Gao was not afraid, as if he didn't see it. He has seen a lot of this kind of gaze, and his gaze can't kill, just stare at you. Since I can kill your brother, it won't be difficult to kill you.
"On the way to Zhao Gao's mansion, Danchen has already sent someone to upload the news of his father's brother's death to you. Didn't the Holy One know about this because of the message I send? ”
Li Yi asked "surprised".
"It seems that someone intercepted Meng Yi's request, damn this kind of person! Meng Tian's death, such a major news dares to intercept it, damn it. ”
Emperor Qin thought in his heart.
"I naturally know, but don't you know that you are not allowed to use swords in Xianyang? You used weapons and didn't report to the authorities, do you want to rebel? ”
Emperor Qin asked in a fierce voice.
"The minister was carrying the soldiers with him, and except for the minister who was holding the sword you gave me, everyone else was unarmed. All you want is to seek justice for your brother and bring him before you for adjudication.
However, I didn't expect Zhao Gao to be so frustrated, and he actually sent many disciples to besiege and kill me. If you come any longer, you'll only see my corpse. ”
Li Yi's tone was sad, and he did not hide his hatred for Zhao Gao at all.
"I think there is some misunderstanding between you and Zhao Gao. It was Zhao Gao who brought me in time, and he didn't think about killing you, otherwise he wouldn't have brought me to stop your behavior. ”
Between the words, Emperor Qin selectively ignored part of Li Yi's explanation. For example, the Meng family army did not bring weapons, so how can it be said that they rebelled.
Who made Emperor Qin still bias towards Zhao Gao in his heart.
"Then I have to thank Zhao for saving his life."
Li Yi gritted his teeth and said.
"Forget it, let these two fight, their contradictions can't be resolved. Who designed this operation? ”
Emperor Qin became more and more desperate to know the "culprit" of the whole thing.
The final result of this matter was to play fifty boards each, and Li Yi was beaten heavier, and asked him to go back to Meng Tian after the funeral, stay in the mansion and not be allowed to go out. The punishment for Zhao Gao was to let him stay in the mansion except for the court every day.
Although Emperor Qin was determined to find out the real culprit of this matter. But because of the darkness under the lamp, the murderer who was close at hand was simply ignored by him.
Therefore, Li Yi didn't have any hope that Emperor Qin would find out the real culprit.
After Meng Tian's death, the Meng family was suppressed, and even Fusu did not help the Meng family during this period. Perhaps, Fusu can't look down on the declining Meng family.
I heard that after Emperor Qin's fifth southern tour, he was ready to take away the military power of the Meng family. The reason why he was in such a hurry to tour the south was not that a piece of jade pendant was in trouble.
During Emperor Qin's third southern tour, when Emperor Qin was passing by the Yangtze River, he accidentally threw a jade pendant into the boiling water of the Yangtze River, but Emperor Qin didn't care too much, but when he looked at the water of the Yangtze River, he felt a chill slowly derive from his back and spread to his entire body.
The loss of the jade pendant was just a small episode in the third southern tour, and it had no impact on this southern tour, and the Qin Emperor returned to the court, but just after he stayed in the palace for a few more years, an incident happened that broke his peaceful heart at this time.
One day, Emperor Qin was recuperating in his dormitory, when a messenger suddenly rushed in, holding a piece of jade pendant in his hand, and said something to Emperor Qin.
And the jade pendant in the messenger's hand was the one that was not thrown into the Yangtze River many years ago, and it did not follow the rolling Yangtze River water into the sea, but returned to his own hands.
And what the envoy said was like Emperor Qin's report on an incident: it was a late autumn afternoon, and the envoy was riding a horse galloping on the official road, delivering letters and letters, and suddenly a strange person came out in front of him, holding a piece of jade pendant in his hand, and stuffing the jade pendant into the messenger, while muttering: "The ancestral dragon will die within five years."
Emperor Qin's face changed greatly when he learned of this, and he directly killed the messenger, saying that my life is up to me!
But Emperor Qin knew that Zulong was exactly what he called himself. This sentence is unimaginable in the superstitious feudal dynasty to give the king a blow. In particular, this mysterious man still holds the jade pendant that he lost many years ago, which undoubtedly adds to the credibility of the incident.
Xiangshi gave two solutions, one was to move the capital, and the other was to make five southern tours. The move of the capital was too important and could not be easily completed within a year, so Emperor Qin chose to tour south.
It's not the first time he's toured the south. The fourth southern tour was passed safely, and there was only the fifth left.
This incident pressed on Emperor Qin's heart, making him gradually feel that his body was getting weaker and weaker, perhaps because of his own psychological reaction, but he did feel that there were gods in the sky calling for him to let himself die, all of this was around Emperor Qin's head, whether it was a spiritual or material blow, it overwhelmed Emperor Qin.
In order to solve this problem as soon as possible, the fifth southern tour is imperative. It had to be resolved as soon as possible, and Emperor Qin didn't want to delay any longer.
During the first four southern tours, he encountered various attacks, but under the protection of Meng Yi, he turned the corner. Therefore, Emperor Qin did not have Meng Yi's military power.
Zhao Gao's punishment has long been over, and Meng Yi's is still far away. Meng Tian died in vain, and the dead people were left with a trace of remembrance for Emperor Qin. The rest, gone.
Zhao Gao also spent all his means to kill Meng Yi, and the first step was to strip the Qin Emperor of Qin from his trust in Meng Yi. This has been done, what is said about the high merit of the Meng family, even Bai Qi is not like the Meng family, who has been in charge of the military for many years.
Zhao Gao said many times that Li Yi was his fault for bringing out 300 soldiers to besiege his mansion. It was caused by Tianluo's imperfection, and Meng Tian's death was also very responsible.
also said that Meng Yi was young, and he had been suppressed by Meng Tian in the past, and Meng Tian knew the general situation and knew the etiquette, so he was worthy of being in charge of the army's order. As for the army, let's look at Li Yi's performance.
But once Li Yi is deprived of military power, it will be useless to perform in the future. It's not so easy to kick out the army and want to come in again.
After many hints, Emperor Qin did not take back Meng Yi's military power, and still read that the cause of Meng Tian's death was not in vain.
