Episode 102; Shangqing Meng Yi

The commander of the Praetorian Guard, who was called Shao Shangzao by Ying Zheng, was called Ziyu, the fifteenth level of the twentieth level military merit title of Qin State, Shao Shangzao, and had done it under Wang Jian and Meng Kuo and the killing god Bai Qi.

Born in the blood of the Qin royal family, he killed to the fifteenth level with his military exploits, and is the nephew of Yingzheng, and is currently the first commander of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard, in charge of the coming and going power of 30,000 Praetorian Guards, and is deeply trusted by Yingzheng, and is one of the several powerful figures among the members of the Qin royal family, and also one of the central figures of Yingzheng's faction.

Asked about the itinerary, the young son replied to the first emperor with a smile;

"King Qiyu, the old man is strong and can eat meat every day, and the minister greeted the king, and brought a few words back, asking the minister to report to the king."

"Oh? I'm relieved to wait for my body to be well, what did Wu Anjun tell you to bring? ”

"King Qiqi, the old man said that the 20,000 dead soldiers around him should be handed over to the king for use, and it is a waste to put it next to him, please take it back as soon as possible, or come to protect the safety of the king, or let it out to clean up the rebellion or the Huns, in short, it can't be wasted!"

Hearing that the advice of the loyal ministers still revolves around him, the first emperor Yingzheng smiled happily;

"This is my loyal minister, this is my undefeated general, no matter what happens, they still worry about my safety, thinking about my country, and only a few of them who are loyal and have military achievements can be crowned the 20th level of the marquis."

The two Praetorian Guard commanders praised neatly;

"The king is wise."

"No courtesy."

"King Xie."

"The 20,000 dead soldiers can't move, not only can't move, but also have to add some, Wu Anjun's only son should be transferred back to guard the tomb of the ancestor with Wu Anjun."

"The king is right, the minister agrees, General Bai should be transferred back, the mausoleum is more than a hundred miles away from us, and it is just the right place to do the corner, and it is better to guard Xianyang.

It's just that it is not a small trouble to transfer General Bai back, who will take his place, now that the four seas are leveled, the generals of the various factions have no place to arrange, and suddenly there is a vacancy for the position of the main general, and Xianyang City will want you to fight for it in an instant. ”

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded;

"Shao Shangzao is right, it's like throwing a piece of meat into a bunch of hungry dogs, and it will definitely be a mess, but that's what we need.

In the past, there were always things entangled in the affairs of the six countries, and I had the heart to clean up the backyard, but I couldn't do anything, if the six countries were settled and Qin was settled today, it was time to clean up the backyard, and the bones thrown were small enough to cause disputes, so I had to throw a big one. ”

The two Praetorian Guard commanders also laughed.

"The king's bones are really big enough."

"Yes, and there is enough flesh on the king's bones, and several forces must fight fiercely, so that it is convenient for us to act, but there are so many soldiers for them to control, and the minister ......is a little worried."

"Don't worry about Shao Shangzao, when they get their hands on it, let's find an excuse to transfer the elite soldiers back, and the list will be provided by General Bai, and he knows his subordinates best, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled are given to those people to command."

"The king is wise."

General Meng has recently taken a trip for me, remember to do it secretly, go to General Bai and ask him to sort out the list, and you can bring it back. ”

"Do as the king commands."

The one who was called General Meng by Yingzheng was the eldest son of Meng Kuo's relatives, named Meng Lu, who was awarded the fourteenth-level right guard by virtue of his military merits, commanding 20,000 Praetorian Guards, and the 30,000 horses of Shaoshang Zaozi Yu combined, it was the famous 50,000 iron-blooded guards under King Yingzheng of Qin, and he was also one of the core figures of the Yingzheng faction.

"Shangqing Meng Yi pays a visit to the king."

The three monarchs and ministers were talking, and the singing of the inner servants came from outside the palace, and the first emperor Yingzheng immediately commanded loudly;

"Yes, please go to the court."

"The king's order, Shangqing Meng Yi goes to the palace."

As the chamberlain passed down the royal decree, a tall civil official dressed in a purple robe came up to salute;

"The minister Meng Yi greeted the Lord. The king is well. ”

"Shangqing, please excuse me."

"Thank you, my lord."

"Shangqing came just in time, our monarch and ministers are discussing things, if you don't come, we seem to be missing something, now it's okay, the only Wenchen on our side is finally here, it's complete."

"The minister is late, delaying the king's affairs, he is guilty, please punish the king."

"What is the sin of not sinning, not sinning? You don't know what we're going to discuss today, and if I blame you for that, I'm not a fool. ”

"King Xie is not guilty."

"Okay, General Meng, you can tell your uncle about what we discussed today."

"Do as the king commands."

"Uncle Qiyu......"

Meng Lu simply and quickly repeated the content of the monarch's conversation, Meng Yi listened carefully and carefully, and finally spoke after listening;

"Don't look at the teeth and claws of their forces, it seems that they have carved up my Great Qin's court, and the king doesn't have to pay attention to it at all.

No matter how hard they make a fuss, they can't make any waves, as long as the millions of male soldiers are still in the hands of the king, the king can sit back and relax.

As long as the military power is on our side, the affairs of the court will go with them, and after a while, they will beat them on several sides, and then accumulate enough personal grievances for them, and they will eventually break out.

When the time comes, it will be cleaned up in accordance with my Great Qin Law, and it will definitely be completely purified. ”

"Not bad! What Meng Shangqing said is very meaningful, and every sentence is to the point, but it will take a long, long time to solve, and I am afraid it will take twenty or thirty years to solve it. ”

"King, thirty years is too long, and the minister is also worried that there will be other things in the middle."

"Yes, my lord, the minister thinks that he should cut through the mess quickly and clean up their forces as soon as possible in order to truly sit back and relax."

The First Emperor Yingzheng shook his head fiercely;

"I also think it's too long, but the battles in the court are not like you leading troops to fight, they are all invisible dangers, invisible battles, how can they be so easy to solve? It's not easy!

Alas! Speaking of which, it's a great pity that none of the four famous generals came to serve in the imperial court, otherwise I wouldn't have watched them expand their strength arrogantly. ”

Meng Yi shook his head;

"The king forgive me, it's not that the four famous generals don't come to the court to serve, but they are all from leading soldiers, and they are used to going straight to the court, and they are not good at the way they do it in the open and in the dark.

In this way, it seems that it is better to concentrate on their own strengths, and obey the king's orders with peace of mind, whenever the king orders the generals to immediately put out the fire and attack everything, and save a lot of trouble. ”

"Well, what Meng Shangqing said is also true, I can also think of this, but I still think about their ability, and I don't come to the court to contribute, it's a pity, so I sigh."

"Forget it, don't mention this, let's talk about Wu Anjun's eldest son, how does Shangqing think he should be summoned back so as not to make others suspicious?"

"The old way, find a reason to charge him, and then take his military power, and secretly transfer it back, if An Ansheng is transferred back, how can those hungry dogs be fooled?"

Ying Zheng stood up and walked back and forth;

"It's going to be like I did to Wu Anjun again, why am I a little awkward?"

"King Mingjian, in extraordinary times, you have to use extraordinary means, waiting for what his old man can understand."
