The next day, Meng Xingyuan slept beautifully until he woke up naturally, and ate the breakfast that Ah Feng prepared for him unhurriedly, before he walked out of the reverse journey and went to the street.

After walking a short distance, I saw a group of people gathered around to see the emperor list. Meng Xingyuan also squeezed into the crowd and looked up at the imperial list posted on the wall. It's a pity that the words on it are all small seals, Meng Xingyuan can't understand them, so he can only listen to the people around him.

A fat-headed, big-eared man said, "Who is so bold as to steal from the palace? ”

An old man with a white beard beside him shook his head uncontrollably: "It's okay if you live enough, but if you commit such a big crime, you will definitely punish the Nine Clans if you are caught." ”

"I'm sure I'm going to have to sit in the neighborhood. Someone whispered again.

"I hope it doesn't have anything to do with me. The fat man sighed and left.

It seems that this emperor's list is related to the jade seal. Meng Xingyuan straightened his clothes, strode forward, and took down the emperor list that had not been posted for a long time. This stunned the people around, and for a while, half of the street was quiet. Because revealing the emperor's list means that he can do what the emperor requires, if he can't do it, it will be a crime of bullying the king, and he will definitely be killed.

Seeing that someone had unveiled the emperor's list, two officials immediately came over to talk to Meng Xingyuan. At the same time, someone flew on his horse and galloped in the direction of the palace. After a short time, the man who had gone on horseback came back and politely invited Meng Xingyuan to follow him to see Qin Shi Huang.

Meng Xingyuan was invited into a carriage surrounded by thick black cloth tents, his mood was a little nervous, some expectant, some excited, and a little scared. You must know that in the 21st century, the biggest official Meng Xingyuan has ever seen is a deputy county magistrate, and he still glanced at it from a distance. Now that he is going to see an emperor, or Qin Shi Huang, his mood can be understood.

The carriage was galloping, and Meng Xingyuan was also imagining the appearance of Qin Shi Huang. In the "Records of the First Emperor of Qin", it is said that Qin Shi Huang "has a quasi-bee, long eyes, a bird's heart, a jackal's voice, a little grace and a tiger's wolf heart", that is to say, he collapsed the bridge of his nose, protruded his eyes, hunched back, and his voice was not good. Meng Xingyuan thought to himself: Could it be that the first emperor in history was as ugly as himself?

The Song Dynasty's "Taiping Yulan" wrote that "the tiger's mouth, the angle of the sun, the big eyes, the long quasi, eight feet six inches long, the big seven circumferences", translated into modern Chinese is roughly a square mouth and high nose, the frontal bone is high and protruding, the heavenly court is full, the eyes are blazing, and the height is two meters. This is obviously false, because almost every emperor is recorded in this way.

Finally, the carriage stopped. Before he could enjoy the view of the palace, Meng Xingyuan was taken to the door of a room. The leader opened the door cautiously, and after Meng Xingyuan entered, he slowly closed it again.

Meng Xingyuan remembered the plot in the TV series, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Grass man Meng Xingyuan knocks to see Your Majesty." Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live. After speaking, he felt that he was already sweating profusely, because he felt an invisible pressure rushing towards his face, and he couldn't breathe, this must be Qin Shi Huang's powerful aura.

"Lift up your head and show me. Qin Shi Huang, who was sitting in front of Meng Xingyuan, spoke in a tone that was not hurried or slow, revealing a domineering spirit.

Meng Xingyuan raised his head tremblingly, glanced at Qin Shi Huang with his eyelids, and quickly lowered his head. He only saw a burner of incense burning on the table in front of Qin Shi Huang, with a little smoke, so he didn't see Qin Shi Huang's appearance clearly.

"You said that your surname is Meng, what is the relationship between you and Mencius of the previous dynasty?" Qin Shi Huang must have been very disappointed with Meng Xingyuan's appearance, so he directly changed the topic.

Meng Xingyuan kowtowed again: "The grass people don't dare to bully the king." The grass people have nothing to do with Mencius. ”

"Oh, then which family are you a disciple?" At that time, the doctrine was still "a hundred schools of thought", so Qin Shi Huang asked.

"The grass people don't belong to any family," Meng Xingyuan still lowered his head, "but I know a little bit about the doctrines of each family and faction." ”

"Nonsense. Qin Shi Huang slapped the table vigorously, "You are an uneducated liar, but you have the courage to reveal my imperial list?

Meng Xingyuan was not afraid, and smiled slightly: "It is difficult to find a harmony in the world, and the five dragons are staggered. ”

"It seems that I blame you, sir, it turns out that he is deeply hidden. Hurry up and flatten down. Qin Shi Huang's eyes lit up suddenly, and even his title changed, "When can you help me find this thing?"

In order to make Qin Shi Huang look up to himself and pay more attention to the opinion he was about to put forward, Meng Xingyuan said: "The grass people will return this thing to Your Majesty within one day." ”

"Okay, what reward does the gentleman need?" I will certainly meet all the requirements of the gentleman. "In the whole world, only the emperor can say such things.

"It is the honor of the grass people to share the worries of His Majesty. The grass people don't want money and goods, and they don't want official positions, but only implore His Majesty to listen to what the grass people have to say. Meng Xingyuan's words were very sincere.

This was very unexpected by Qin Shi Huang, and he still said quietly: "Mr. is a big man, and Mr.'s words must be golden and jade good words, which will definitely be able to stabilize the country and benefit the people." I would also be happy to talk to him. ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people promise that they will be able to present the lost things to Your Majesty by noon tomorrow. ”

"Good. Then I will talk to my husband about the world tomorrow morning. Meng Xingyuan's words soothed Qin Shi Huang's mood a lot, "Sir, can you tell me your identity?"

Meng Xingyuan said nonsense: "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people have studied with a powerful hermit in the mountains for eight years, but that powerful hermit asked me to make a heavy oath not to reveal any news about him to anyone. So ......"

"For the sake of you being able to find the lost item for me, I won't ask any more questions. Qin Shi Huang twisted his beard and stared at Meng Xingyuan, "Then what skills have you learned?"

"The grass people don't dare to bully the king, but they can't fall for the teacher's ambition. Meng Xingyuan continued to exaggerate himself, "I don't dare to say anything else, I don't dare to talk about other skills, I don't talk about heaven and earth, and I don't talk about ghosts and gods." ”

"Haha," Qin Shi Huang laughed, "I really can't figure out if you're bragging, or if you do have such a skill." ”

Meng Xingyuan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, if there is a snow presented to Your Majesty now, then ......"

"Okay, let's have some snow. Qin Shi Huang interrupted Meng Xingyuan, "If you offer me a piece of snow in the summer, then I really believe in Mr.'s skills." ”

"The grass people are ugly. As he spoke, Meng Xingyuan took the plate with a few fruits in front of Qin Shi Huang, took out the fruits, pretended to close his eyes slightly, and said something in his mouth. It wasn't until Ah Feng whispered, "It's okay," that he respectfully placed the plate in front of Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang was surprised to see that the plate in front of him was full of bright white things, and he reached out to touch it, it was cool and cool, and after a while, his palm was wet. Suddenly, he felt a little cold on his head, and when he looked up, there were snowflakes falling above him. You know, it's indoors, it's still summer, and there are really snowflakes.

"Good!" Qin Shi Huang clapped his hands and praised, "Mr. has great powers, comparable to immortals." ”

"Your Majesty thanked you for your compliment. Meng Xingyuan made a modest gesture and bowed his head with a smile.

Qin Shi Huang's face showed a smile that he hadn't seen for many days: "I will wait here tomorrow for Mr., waiting to have a drink with Mr. ”

"The grass people will come tomorrow to face the saints. It's just that I don't know what Your Majesty wants to talk about tomorrow, and the grass people have to prepare. ”

"The Hun cavalry in the north violated the border, the people's livelihood was worried, and the country was shameless. I also sent troops against them, but the enemy was cavalry, which came and went like the wind. The soldiers of our dynasty can't catch up, let alone fight. I had to spend time and effort building the Great Wall to defend passively. So, I want to hear what kind of solution Mr. has to break the Huns. Qin Shi Huang did not hesitate or think before saying this, it seems that he has had a headache for the Xiongnu for a long time.

"The grass people will not disappoint Your Majesty tomorrow!" Meng Xingyuan was overjoyed, bowed his hand, and nodded heavily.
