Chapter Seventy-Two

After the remnants of the Six Nations maliciously snapped up and burned food, a huge news appeared in the newspapers.

This time, the world realized what the Qin army was like, what Yingchuan looked like after the earth dragon turned over, and what happened to Yingchuan.

Before, the hundred schools of thought tried their best to smear Daqin, saying that the Qin army killed innocents indiscriminately in Yingchuan and regarded the lives of the people as grass mustard.

Now this newspaper not only has a picture, but also a basis, and all of a sudden the conspiracy theories of the hundreds of schools of thought have come to naught.

Especially when people saw the news that Daqin's commander died by carrying the weight of a thousand catties in order to save ordinary people, their eyes couldn't stop crying.

Zhuzi Baijia and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms looked at Qin's growing popularity, and they were so anxious that they couldn't do it, but they had no choice but to let out an impotent rage.

After Qin Xi came back, he was supposed to enter the palace immediately to resume his life, but the first emperor said that he was unwell and did not see him.

It wasn't until three days later that Qin Xi was summoned by the First Emperor.

While following the eunuchs, Qin Xi was thinking, why was it that the first emperor was unwell several times when he saw the first emperor, could he still be refining pills and cultivating immortals? But weren't those warlocks dragged into the mountains to study gunpowder by themselves?

Could it be that the First Emperor was actually infirm? This can't be done, without the Great Qin of the First Emperor, it would not be Great Qin.

Just when Qin Xi was thinking nonsense, the eunuch had already taken Qin Xi outside the main hall and said, "Lord Qin, you can go in by yourself." ”

Qin Xi nodded, sorted out some clothes, and then walked in.

In the main hall, except for the damn curtain, there was no one around, and the First Emperor could still be vaguely seen sitting there.

As soon as Qin Xi was about to salute, he heard the First Emperor say in a deep voice: "Thirty steps forward." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Xi immediately stepped forward thirty steps, and suddenly arrived in front of the curtain, which was a great honor in Great Qin.

"Minister! Qin Xi, see His Majesty the Emperor! Ten thousand years for His Majesty the Emperor! Great Qin 10,000 years! "Qin Xi made a grand visit this time.

"Give a seat." The First Emperor said lightly.

The eunuch immediately moved the futon and the case and asked Qin Xi to sit down.

"You're doing a good job in Yingchuan." The First Emperor said.

Qin Xi got up and said, "Your Majesty, the people of Yingchuan have a word, let Weichen bring it to Your Majesty." ”

"Say."

Qin Xi straightened up and said loudly: "I will be a Qin person for generations!" Great Qin 10,000 years! Ten thousand years for His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Color!" The First Emperor laughed.

Then Qin Xi immediately knelt on the ground and said, "In addition to bringing words for the people of Yingchuan today, today's ministers are also here to ask Your Majesty for their guilt, and also ask Your Majesty to surrender to your ministers!" ”

The First Emperor was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are your crimes, why don't I know?" ”

Qin Xi knelt on the ground and said: "The minister ignored the food problem of my Great Qin, which caused the treasury to be empty, and the people of the whole country were unstable, so he should be guilty of death!" ”

The hall suddenly fell silent, and at this time, Qin Xi's rapid heartbeat was very loud.

The First Emperor asked, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

"I'm afraid! In the world, as long as people are afraid of death, but fear of death is not an excuse to escape responsibility. Qin Xi straightened up and said.

"So you are guilty."

The First Emperor continued: "But you have also contributed to saving the people of Yingchuan and winning the hearts of the people of the world for my Great Qin." ”

"Then the merits and demerits will be offset, I will not punish you, but I will not reward you, you can be convinced."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Xi breathed a big sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that it was over.

The First Emperor asked, "Do you think the people of the peasant family and the Mo family can bring back the artifacts you mentioned?" ”

Qin Xi said: "There must be something, but whether they can bring it back, the ministers are not sure, they can only rely on themselves." ”

The First Emperor fell silent all of a sudden, and seeing that the First Emperor had not spoken for a long time, Qin Xi quietly raised his head and glanced at the figure behind the curtain.

"Is there anything else you can do?" The First Emperor asked suddenly.

Qin Xi hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to pay homage to the martyrs who died for Great Qin in the past hundred years at the beginning of spring next year, and to pay tribute to the soldiers and people who died in the Yingchuan disaster. ”

The First Emperor thought for a moment and said, "This matter will be discussed later, and now the treasury is empty. ”

Qin Xi immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a business that violates the laws of Great Qin, and according to the law, all the illegal income should be charged into the treasury!" ”

The First Emperor smiled: "It would be nice if all the merchants in the world were like you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Xi said.

"Okay, I'll discuss this matter with the ministers, sit down, you are here today, and tell me about your affairs in Yingchuan." The First Emperor said.

"No!" Qin Xi appeared and sat down.

······

When Qin Xi said this, it was directly at dusk, and the eunuch had already held the lamp for the main hall.

The First Emperor said: "I am very happy today, and I am very fortunate to have you in the future of my Great Qin. ”

"The future of Great Qin still depends on His Majesty the Emperor." Qin Xi didn't dare to accept it.

"Alright, you can go back." The First Emperor said.

"No, the minister resigns." Qin Xi got up and saluted and slowly exited the main hall.

After Qin Xi left, the First Emperor walked down, crossed his waist and looked outside the hall, and said with a smile: "This stinky boy, he dares to make such a move with me to advance and retreat, it is really bold." ”

"Someone."

"Your Majesty." A eunuch quickly came to the First Emperor's side.

The First Emperor said: "Go and tell Xiao He that this stinky boy Qin Xi is back." ”

"No."

On the other side, after Qin Xi left the palace, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Childe!" At this time, Yin Ya hurriedly greeted him.

Qin Xi was taken aback and asked, "You won't wait here until now, will you?" ”

"I'm worried about Childe, so I've been waiting here." Yin Ya lowered her head and said.

"You stupid girl, what can I do, Xianyang Palace is the safest place in the world." Qin Xi said with a smile.

Yin Ya said: "The safest place is only for the people who live inside, and for Gongzi, this is the most dangerous place." ”

Qin Xi hurriedly covered Yin Ya's mouth and whispered, "Auntie, you can't talk nonsense!" ”

Yin Ya nodded with a red face, and realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and she was also scared in retrospect.

Qin Xi let go of Yin Ya and said, "Okay, let's go back, after telling His Majesty the Emperor about the matter for a day, I am going to be hungry." ”

"Childe, we haven't prepared a meal at home yet, so let's go to the restaurant to eat," Yin Ya said.

"The restaurant is not delicious, I have to go back and make it myself, and the food I make is always the best." Qin Xi smiled and walked in the direction of home with Yin Ya.

Soon after Qin Xi left, before the palace gate was closed, a eunuch hurriedly walked out of the Xianyang Palace, and then walked towards the mansion of Xiao He, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

It is said that Xiao He's current mansion, although it is smaller than other officials, was personally rewarded by the emperor, which moved Xiao He.

At present, Xiao He feels that he is still dreaming, he was just a small master book before, but now he has suddenly become the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it can be said that he is currently the fastest promoted.
