Chapter 31: Meng Fan's Visit (2)
First of all, Qin Shi Huang thought that he was the emperor and that the whole world belonged to him. He wants to recruit a folk girl into the palace, which is the blessing of that folk girl. Moreover, Qin Shi Huang was a very lustful person, how could he easily give up the beautiful Meng Jiangnu?
The next morning, Qin Shi Huang summoned Meng Xingyuan into the palace again and asked how it was going. Meng Xingyuan once again refused to be his lobbyist.
Qin Shi Huang didn't say anything and told him to go back.
Day 3, Day 4, Day 5...... Qin Shi Huang summoned Meng Xingyuan every day. Meng Xingyuan had the mentality of seeing death as home, and refused every time. Qin Shi Huang gradually became impatient, and his temper became worse and worse.
On this day, Meng Xingyuan entered the palace again. Qin Shi Huang did not mention the matter of Meng Jiangnu, but talked with him about the Xiongnu for a long time. Meng Xingyuan was very happy, but he was faintly uneasy.
From morning to sunset, Qin Shi Huang had been asking Meng Xingyuan this and that, looking full of interest. Even for lunch, Qin Shi Huang asked Meng Xingyuan to accompany him to eat. Strangely, for a whole day, Qin Shi Huang did not mention Meng Jiangnu in a word.
It wasn't until the evening that Meng Xingyuan was allowed to go back. As soon as he returned to his mansion, Meng Jiangnu ran over crying and told him the bad news: Fan Xiliang was taken away by a group of uninvited guests.
"When was it taken away?" Meng Xingyuan asked in shock.
"Just this morning, not long after you attacked, a group of people we didn't know came, like fierce gods. They didn't say anything, they pulled my husband into a carriage......" said that, Meng Jiangnu cried sadly again.
While comforting Meng Jiangnu, Meng Xingyuan asked Ah Feng to check Fan Xiliang's whereabouts.
Soon, Ah Feng returned. She brought even worse news: Fan Xiliang had been taken away and went to the north to build the Great Wall. This is exactly what Qin Shi Huang arranged, no wonder he had to "entangle" Meng Xingyuan all day today.
"Providence. Meng Xingyuan shed two lines of tears in pain. Fan Xiliang finally did not escape the providence to build the Great Wall, and Meng Jiangnu did not escape the providence that her husband could not last forever.
"If Fan Xiliang has any accidents, I will definitely kill Qin Shi Huang!" Ah Feng said viciously.
"Never. If you do this, the world will be in chaos. "Meng Xingyuan is dedicated to the public. However, who would have thought about Meng Jiangnu and Fan Xiliang and his wife?
Ah Feng snorted and said, "It's not messy now, it's still going to be messy after he dies." ”
Meng Xingyuan also sighed: "Then the troubled times will come later, and the people of the world will also suffer from the war a few years later." ”
The next day, Meng Xingyuan had no choice but to hide Meng Jiangnu in every possible way. Meng Jiangnu had no news of her husband, and she didn't think about tea and dinner. Meng Xingyuan and Ah Feng were also heartbroken, but they couldn't do anything about it, because they knew that this was really providence.
In the evening, Meng Xingyuan continued to work hard. He asked Ah Feng to go north to chase Fan Xiliang's team. Then create a "stand-in" and replace Fan Xiliang himself from the team.
However, Ah Feng still didn't bring Fan Xiliang back. Because Fan Xiliang had been killed, even his corpse was thrown into the field, and he was ruined by the beasts.
"We've tried so long and spent so much effort and we haven't been able to help them. Why is that?" Meng Xingyuan raised his head to the sky and said in a daze.
"This is providential, and we can't change it. Ah Feng whispered, "Everything has long been doomed, and it is not for you and me to reverse." “
"No, I don't believe it. Meng Xingyuan clenched his fists, "We still have a chance, Ah Feng." We can go and kidnap Qin Shi Huang tonight and tell him to spare Meng Jiangnu. Fan Xiliang is no longer here, so we will do our best to protect her. ”
The tears in Ah Feng's eyes finally dripped down: "It's useless, it's useless." ”
"No try, how do you know it's useless......"
Before Meng Xingyuan's words were finished, he heard someone shouting: "The emperor has arrived." ”
It was too late to say more, Meng Xingyuan sorted out his clothes and walked out quickly to pick up the car.
"Meng Aiqing, it's been such a long time, have you done what you promised me?" Meng Xingyuan had just knelt down and had not yet spoken, when Qin Shi Huang actually spoke first, it seemed that his patience had reached the limit.
Meng Xingyuan turned his heart sideways, and he didn't care whether he was the emperor or not: "Your Majesty, the minister did not advise Meng Jiangnu, because the minister never promised His Majesty, but only ......"
"Presumptuous," Qin Shi Huang pointed at Meng Xingyuan's nose, "You actually deceived me? This is the crime of deceiving the king!"
Meng Xingyuan slammed his head on the ground: "Your Majesty, the ministers dare not bully the king." It's just that the minister really never promised His Majesty and begged His Majesty to let Meng Jiangnu go. “
Qin Shi Huang snorted coldly: "You never promised me, do you care about the more than 460 lives in the prison?"
"Your Majesty, the eldest husband is alive, and if you don't do something, you will do something. Although the minister wanted to save those people and those books. However, a minister cannot break up another man's marriage. Meng Xingyuan's voice was sonorous and powerful. Ah Feng was also impressed.
Qin Shi Huang smiled: "Aiqing, you can't be regarded as breaking up other people's marriages now, because Meng Jiangnu's husband is no longer alive." ”
Meng Xingyuan looked up into the room, he was worried that Meng Jiangnu would hear this.
"I sent him to the north to build the Great Wall and contribute to the country. Qin Shi Huang said proudly, "However, I received very unfortunate news today, he died of a sudden illness, and even his body was buried. Therefore, Meng Jiangnu now has no husband. Wouldn't it be a good thing for me to keep her in the palace now?"
Meng Xingyuan kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty, even if this is really the case, the minister has the courage to beg Your Majesty to take back his life and let go of this poor man who has lost her husband." ”
Qin Shi Huang was angry, he stared at him and shouted, "She is now a lonely and weak woman. Is there anything wrong with me leaving her in the palace and giving her all the glory and riches of the world?"
"The minister is sure that Meng Jiangnu will not agree......"
"No, I agree. Why don't I agree to stay and enjoy the glory and wealth?" The door curtain flipped, and Meng Jiangnu entered the room. She was emaciated, her eyes were red, her hair was messy, and she looked miserable.
Qin Shi Huang was overjoyed, walked a few steps quickly, and took Meng Jiangnu's hand: "It's right to stay." I will love you well. ”
After Meng Jiangnu slowly gave a salute, she said, "Your Majesty, Meng Xingyuan doesn't want the people to stay with Your Majesty, and she has bad intentions. The maiden was angry when she saw him, so she begged His Majesty to expel him from Xianyang. ”
"Okay, I'll do what you ask. Qin Shi Huang finished speaking with a smile, and then put on a majestic and righteous face, "Meng Xingyuan, I now want you to be dismissed from your post as a citizen, leave Xianyang within three days, and never step into Xianyang again." ”
Meng Xingyuan suddenly collapsed to the ground, he stared at Meng Jiangnu, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching: "Why do you agree?"
Meng Jiangnu shed tears in her eyes, turned her head away from Meng Xingyuan, and said, "Don't ask." Let's get out of here. ”
There were also two lines of tears sliding down Meng Xingyuan's face, and he didn't wipe them, but shouted hysterically: "I don't believe you really want to stay." Why do you want to stay? and why?"
Meng Jiangnu didn't answer, tears streaming down her face.
"Drag this guy who ruined my good mood out and drive him out of Xianyang. Qin Shi Huang's face was full of anger, "I didn't cut off your head, but you dare to be presumptuous all the time!"
Several guards rushed up and directly carried Meng Xingyuan out and threw him into a carriage. Meng Xingyuan continued to shout until he was gagged by a rag.
When the carriage left the city gate of Xianyang, several guards threw Meng Xingyuan out of the carriage as if he wanted to throw garbage.
"Haha, Master Meng, I didn't expect you to have today. I used to see that you were uncomfortable, but today I finally let out a bad breath! It turns out that relying on Your Majesty's respect for you, our brothers are not as good as you. But from now on, you will never be able to compare to us. Haha!" the guards sarcastically mocked Meng Xingyuan without scrutiny, revealing their ugly and ignorant faces.
"Despicable villain. Ah Feng was angry. With a little trickery, she conjured up a few poisonous insects and attached them to those people. They were unaware of this, but from then on, these people always carried a foul smell on their bodies, and no matter how much they bathed, they could not hide it. Of course, Qin Shi Huang would not allow them to remain with him and drove them out of the palace. However, wherever they went, the people around them scattered in a hurry. Several people were ashamed and hid in the mountains, lacking food and clothing, food and shelter, and never came out again for the rest of their lives.
