Chapter 210: Proton Covenant
Sima Jie was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
Ying Zheng looked at Sima Jie and said with a smile: "Look at your unpromising appearance, why, when you heard that you were going to marry a daughter-in-law, you were scared stupid?" β
Sima Jie swallowed his saliva, and then said a little nervously: "Wang, Wang, this, it's a little sudden." β
"Hey......" Ying Zheng said with great interest, "In terms of age, you are the same age as Meng Yi, only one year younger than the widow, look at the widow, the children are about to leave; In terms of etiquette, the time for you to perform the crown ceremony is earlier than that of the widow, and you are already an adult man, so when it comes to marriage, why not? β
"What Weichen means is that you should ask your father first about this matter." Sima Jie's face was slightly red, as if he had just gasped for breath.
"That's just as well." Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Your father is busy cultivating the second batch of original grain seeds, and when he returns to Xianyang, the widow will mention this matter to him again." β
"yes, okay." Sima Jie's face finally returned to normal.
Ying Zheng knew that Sima Jie was concentrating on his studies and didn't care about the love of men and women, and he would be quite shy even when he mentioned it in person.
"Alright, let's talk about two more business." Ying Zheng also put away most of his smile and said.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Ying Zheng pulled Sima Jie to sit down, approached him and whispered: "This time in Longxi, the widow and Yiqu Suolin, as well as the Qiang of the Qiang tribe, became brothers, and learned from them about a place, that place is called Jingjue, located in the center of the Western Regions, with the most indestructible city in the Western Regions. β
"Exquisite?" Sima Jie shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." β
"Thousands of miles away, and separated by the Great Gobi and Rongdi tribes, of course we won't hear of it." Ying Zheng said, "It is said that the exquisite country will use extremely strong stones to build impregnable walls, so the widow wants to ask him for advice, but he can't rush there. β
Sima Jie's eyes lit up, and he said: "Does the king want to send out some reliable talents like Wei Yi and Chen Li before, and go there to investigate first?" β
"Not bad." Ying Zheng's voice was still low, "This matter, ordinary rough people can't do it, and people in the army rush to go, I'm afraid that they will be suspected, so we still need more clever people to take a few people to visit there." β
"Well, that's right." Sima Jie said, "If it is suitable in all aspects, it seems that no one can match Chen Li, so it is better to ask him to lead the team, how about it?" β
"Hehe, the widow also has this intention." Ying Zheng raised his voice, "Before, Cao Yi returned to Xianyang ahead of schedule, and the widow ordered him to be the captain, and now that Chen Li has returned from meritorious service, it is better to make him a captain, and this time the task is to go to the Western Regions and secretly visit the Exquisite Country." β
"Then Weichen went and called Chen Li." Sima Jie said.
"Not necessarily." Ying Zheng stopped Sima Jie and said, "All the plans are carried out by you, no matter who asks, no one knows about this matter." β
Ying Zheng's real purpose is to investigate the secrets of the secret stone, but now it is not known what the relationship between the old man in white and the Exquisite Kingdom is, so he must not be able to openly visit as the King of Qin.
Sima Jie's eyes rolled, he understood Yingzheng's intentions, and then arched his hand and said, "Weichen takes the order." β
"One more thing." Ying Zheng finally returned to his normal tone, "This time, Sorin proposed that 'my soldier' is so powerful, it is better to let the soldiers of the whole army call themselves 'my soldier', this matter is first raised by you, tell me your opinion." β
Sima Jie thought for a moment and said: "Wei Chen thinks that if the word 'I' is not used exclusively for 'our army', it will not be used in the whole army, but it will not highlight the prestige of 'our army'. β
"Hahaha!" Ying Zheng said happily, "What a soldier!" β
β
Just do as you say, the widow immediately passed the decree, the official document of the Great Qin, abolished my character, and the people of the upper and lower levels all called themselves 'I'! β
The reason why Ying Zheng made such a decision was not only to deter the enemy country, but more importantly, he knew that sooner or later all the "my weapons" would be destroyed, and at that time, how could he leave a thought for this divine soldier who had made great achievements.
Moreover, people in later generations will call themselves 'I', and they only say that this is their own name, and no one will trace the origin of the word 'me', and no one will explore the whereabouts and roots of 'me'.
Having made up his mind, Ying Zheng returned to the palace to issue the edict with great satisfaction.
Changping Jun took over LΓΌ Buwei's position, and he has been very busy these days. Although it was the right phase before, the difference between the left and the right is very huge.
On this day, Changping Jun came to Yingzheng's study with two letters.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has two letters of state here, which were not mentioned in the court meeting, and please check them in advance and make a decision." Changping Jun arched his hand.
"Where did you get the credentials?" Ying Zheng asked.
Changping Jun took out two letters and said, "One of them was sent from Yiqu, and the other one was from Chu State. β
The letterhead has not been opened. Of course, outsiders can't open the letter to the monarch at will.
Changping Jun respectfully handed the letter to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took the lead in opening the letter from Yiqu and read it.
This letter, which was written by Solin himself, said that after he and the Third Elder returned to the Yiqu Relic Headquarters, he told the Grand Elder, the Second Elder, and all the people of some status in the clan about the whole thing.
The people of the Yiqu tribe really said anything, but most of them were still in favor of moving back to Qin, and the Great Elder and the Second Elder discussed it and decided to obey Yu Tu's decision, but there were also some conditions.
Because it was a migration of the Ju clan and the things they carried were numerous, the Great Elder asked the King of Qin for a thousand cattle to transport the goods, and also to ensure that there was enough space north of Longxi to graze cattle and sheep.
Ying Zheng shook his head with a wry smile, then picked up the pen and ink and wrote a will to the treasury.
The second letter is the letter of the king of Chu, which says that he is quite concerned about his grandson and has sent Xiang Yan to visit, and at the same time to express his condolences to the Western Chu army, which has suffered heavy losses.
After reading this letter of state, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh, what should come will always come.
"Did Xiang Yan send you a private message?" Ying Zheng looked at Changpingjun and asked.
Changpingjun shook his head and said, "No, since the last time I went to the letter, this is the only one I have received. β
Ying Zheng put down the national letter, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Changping Jun, and said: "In this way, Xiang Yan must have discussed this matter with the King of Chu, so there must be some explanation." β
"Even if there is any rhetoric, I guess we won't lose anything." Changping Jun's eyes were a little trance-like, and he didn't know whether he thought of his Western Chu Army or Xiang Yan.
"Forget it, let's talk about it then." Ying Zheng said, "You will take the widow's will to the treasury, and then allocate some silver taels, buy some ploughing cattle and send them to the Yiqu tribe, and then prepare to receive Xiang Yan." β
"Wechen takes orders." Changpingjun resigned.
Ying Zheng sat there alone and thought about it, then got up and walked towards Nansu's dormitory.
Three days later, Xiang Yan really arrived in Xianyang.
Ying Zheng sat in the main hall and watched Xiang Yan walk into the hall under the guidance of Changping Jun.
"Foreign Minister Xiang Yan, meet the King of Qin!" Xiang Yan raised his voice and bowed in salute.
"General Xiang is exempt." Ying Zheng said quite solemnly.
Xiang Yan stood up straight, and his voice was high-pitched: "I heard that the King of Qin recently blessed the crown ceremony in Yongcheng, and has withdrawn the royal power, your country chief Xinhou Chang Yu has planned a rebellion and has been rectified, and Lu Xiangbang has been linked because of the unfavorable recommendation, my lord learned that such a major event happened in Great Qin, and he was worried about the King of Qin."
so the foreign minister came to pay a visit. β
"Hahaha......" Ying Zheng suddenly laughed.
The ministers were taken aback by Yingzheng's sudden change, and Xiang Yan stayed there for no reason.
I saw Ying Zheng stand up, and while walking down the steps, he said: "The widow is really lucky, several fathers-in-law are extremely worried about the widow, there is some chaos in Daqin, and all the countries have handed over letters of state to ask, as strong as the Chu State, they actually sent General Xiang to visit in person." β
In the past few days, Ying Zheng received letters from five other countries, all congratulating the King of Qin on his crowning and asking about the content of Chang Yu's rebellion.
"The changes in Great Qin are not trivial, and it is normal for the countries to be quite concerned." Xiang Yan Zhengse said.
"Well, that's true." Ying Zheng still smiled, "But I don't know, the countries are so concerned, is it good or malice?" Do you plan to send troops to help, or do you want to fall into the ground? β
Xiang Yan knew that Ying Zheng was using a joking way to establish his authority, and he was not annoyed, so he also laughed and said: "King Qin is really good at laughing, since he is already an in-law, how can he sit idly by, if Daqin can't deal with it this time, I don't know if several other countries will help each other for the time being, but Da Chu will definitely send troops to reinforce it." β
"That widow, I want to thank the king of Chu who has never met." Ying Zheng said.
Xiang Yan didn't seem to want to dwell on this topic anymore, and instead said: "I wonder if Princess Nansu is safe in this turmoil, and whether Gongzi Fusu is safe?" β
"Annoying General Xiang's trouble, they are very good, but they are just scattered outside the palace." Ying Zheng still said with a smile.
Xiang Yan said coldly: "As long as Nansu and Gongzi help Su to be safe, it is not in vain the painstaking efforts of those soldiers of the Western Chu Army who desperately protect them." β
Ying Zheng knew that Xiang Yan was using this matter to start trouble, so he responded: "In this battle, the Western Chu Army is worthy of being the hot-blooded man of Great Qin, bravely killing the enemy and fighting bloodily, it is really a model for the whole army and a model for Great Qin!" The widow has already rewarded all the soldiers of the Western Chu Army and rewarded the families of the deceased, General Xiang is so worried about the Western Chu Army, could it be that the Chu State will also reward it again? β
Xiang Yan was about to return the favor again, but heard Changping Jun say on the side: "King Qiqi, since the State of Chu has sent an envoy, according to the number of etiquette, after meeting the king, the next step should be to visit the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and ask the envoy of the State of Chu to move." β
Ying Zheng nodded, and waved his hand at the same time: "Then Changpingjun will take General Xiang to go." β
Xiang Yan still wanted to say something, but noticed that Changpingjun pulled the corner of his clothes, so he swallowed back the words and followed Changpingjun out of the palace.
On the way to Huayang Palace, Xiang Yan muttered softly: "Brother Xian, I'm here to help you ask for an explanation, why don't you let me finish my words?" β
Changping Jun also said in a low voice: "Brother, you think, this is in the court, even if the king is ashamed, how can he give us an explanation in front of all the courtiers, this matter needs to be said in private." β
"This is also the case, then find a time to reason with King Qin again." Xiang Yan said.
"According to my brother, it's better to leave this matter at that, I have now taken Lu Buwei's place, and all the Western Chu troops are also proudly rewarded, what else can we do?" Chang Pingjun said.
"How can this work?" Xiang Yan's tone unconsciously increased, "He Qin people didn't even break with Mao, and our Western Chu army died nearly 40,000, isn't this intentional?" β
"Shhhhh......h β
Xiang Yan said: "The king of Chu said that Fusu, the prince who was just born to Nansu, is not safe to stay in Qin, so let Zai Xia take their mother and son back to Chu." β
"What?" Changping Jun was startled, and his voice was louder than Xiang Yan just now.
