Chapter 167

In the Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor and Wang Jian walked on a road surrounded by high walls.

"Wang Qian, the police department was proposed by this kid Xi, there has never been a time in the past, although you have retired from the position of general, but the burden on your body is not light." The First Emperor said.

Wang Jian took a step slower than the First Emperor, and said: "Thank you for your trust, this police department is indeed a new thing, and the minister has been studying this new thing recently, and he has a lot of doubts, but the minister believes that it will be corrected in time in the future." ”

The First Emperor stopped and said, "Wang Qian, do you think Meng Tian can take on the position of Tai Lieutenant?" ”

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "The minister thinks that although Meng Tian is young, he is enough to serve as a general. ”

The First Emperor nodded and said, "News came back from the south, General Mengwu has a problem with his body, and he is planning to send someone to replace General Mengwu, who do you think can replace Mengwu?" ”

Wang Jian thought for a while and said, "The minister thinks General Li Xin is okay. ”

"Li Xin." The First Emperor nodded and said, "I heard that Wang Li has entered the army?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, now a centurion." Wang Jian said.

The First Emperor's footsteps moved again, and he said as he walked: "How can a famous general only be a centurion after that, let him go to Dongjun to be a county lieutenant, and let your old subordinates teach him well." ”

"By the way, Xi is also in Dongjun, ask Wang Li to cooperate with Xi, I don't want to see a chaotic Dongjun anymore."

"No!" Wang Jian bent down on the spot and watched the First Emperor leave.

The First Emperor walked alone in the deep alley, his steps were extremely heavy, like a giant landing on his feet, one foot and one thunder.

When he walked to the door, Meng Tian, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly bowed.

"Don't be polite, just keep up." The First Emperor said lightly.

"No." Meng Yi immediately followed closely behind the First Emperor.

The First Emperor said, "Do you know? I promoted you to lieutenant, how many people are secretly talking about you? ”

"The minister knows, but as long as His Majesty trusts the minister, the minister can do a good job of this captain!" Meng Tian said firmly.

"I heard that you and Fusu are very close? When they returned, they drank twice. The First Emperor said lightly.

"The minister is guilty! Ministers don't get close to anyone. Meng Tian said in a cold sweat.

The First Emperor asked without looking back, "What do you think of Fusu sitting on this throne?" ”

Meng Tian only felt like he was roasted on a fire at this time, and said with difficulty: "Prince Fusu is kind-hearted and a good son. ”

The First Emperor smiled slightly and asked, "Do you know Qin Xi?" ”

"Qin Xi?" Meng Tian didn't understand why the First Emperor suddenly asked about this person, and said, "The minister knows a little, but not much. I heard that this person is intelligent, and indeed a lot of our army's equipment and paper printing are done by this person, and this person is also involved in my Great Qin Reform. If you use it well, you will definitely be an important minister of Great Qin. ”

"You have a good opinion of him." The First Emperor laughed.

"This is the evaluation of the minister's brother, as for the minister, he doesn't know much about this person, so it's inconvenient to evaluate." Meng Tian said.

"What do you think if I make him the crown prince?" The First Emperor said lightly.

Meng Tian stopped all of a sudden, looking at the First Emperor with incredible eyes.

The First Emperor also stopped, turned to Meng Tian and said, "That's right, he is my son. ”

Meng Tian looked at the First Emperor dumbfounded, he didn't expect to hear such a powerful news today, so that Meng Tian didn't react at once.

The First Emperor looked at Meng Tian and said, "You must not tell anyone about this matter, do you understand?" ”

"No! The minister had never heard of this, and the minister knew nothing. Meng Tian hurriedly said.

The First Emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then asked again, "What do you think of Feng Xi as the crown prince?" ”

Meng Tian knelt directly on the ground and said, "This is Your Majesty's family matter, and the minister has no right to ask!" ”

"It's okay, what do you think?" The First Emperor said.

Meng Tian lowered his head and just didn't speak.

Can this be said? Obviously, you can't, saying it is equivalent to standing in line, who are you? Captain Daqin, holding the world's soldiers and horses. Even if others stand in line, they must not stand in line, otherwise the emperor will be the first to kill himself.

The First Emperor also saw Meng Tian's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meng Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

The First Emperor said: "When Xi comes back, I plan to arrange for him to go to the army to experience and experience, where do you think it is appropriate?" ”

Meng Tian immediately said: "If it's just a simple experience, Si Lijun can do it." If it is for military merit, it is necessary to go to the border areas of the north and south. ”

Meng Tian's move was actually a test of the First Emperor, but as a lieutenant, he had to say so.

If the first emperor let Xi Gongzi only train in the Sili army, it means that it is impossible to support Xi Gongzi as the crown prince. But if you truthfully let Xi Gongzi go to the northern and southern borders to earn military merits, that is, to support Xi Gongzi.

Just like the previous Fusu, the Great Wall was for military merit. As long as the prince reaches the north, even if he doesn't do anything, he can have military merits.

The First Emperor thought for a moment and said, "Then you can arrange for him to be with Wang Ben at that time." ”

"No!" Meng Tian's heart moved, the emperor meant to support the prince of Xi!

"That's not right! Why tell yourself, and arrange it yourself! Are you telling yourself to take sides! Meng Tian thought about it and broke out in a cold sweat again.

When Meng Tian raised his head, the First Emperor had already walked out some distance, and Meng Tian hurriedly followed.

"Now that the reform of my Great Qin army is a critical moment, you have to put more effort into it, you can ask Wang Jian more, don't make mistakes, and let people find your questions." The First Emperor said.

"Remember Your Majesty's teachings and never live up to Your Majesty's trust." Meng Tian suddenly regained his high spirits.

"Within a year, I got this done. Now that the treasury is abundant, preparations for the extermination of the Xiongnu must also begin. The First Emperor said.

"No!"

The two walked and walked, and they had come to the end.

"Let's go back." The First Emperor said as he walked into the towering palace gate.

And Meng Tian stood outside the door, sending the First Emperor out of sight.

"Whew~" Meng Tian let out a long breath when he went back, holding a handkerchief and constantly wiping the sweat on his face.

"It's been a terrible day!" Meng Tian shook his head and said.

"Lord Lieutenant." A voice startled Meng Tian, and he turned his head to see that it was Wang Qian.

"Director Wang." Meng Tian arched his hand.

Wang Jian smiled and said, "Taiwei just finished talking with His Majesty?" ”

Meng Tian nodded and said with a wry smile: "Meng Tian knows the difficulties you faced when you were a general, if you have a choice, I am still willing to stay in the north." ”

"Don't say that, sooner or later, this world will belong to you young people. We're old guys who have a bit of a spare heat at the end. Seeing that you are scared today, let's go, have a few drinks. Wang Jian said with a smile.

"Since it was you who invited me, how dare Meng Tian refuse." Meng Tian said with a smile.
