"Meet Princess Mi! Concubine Qi! ”

Outside the door of the study, Meng Yi, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, stood at the door, saw Princess Mi and Concubine Qi coming, and hurriedly bowed to the two princesses.

"Is the king still in there?"

When Princess Mi saw Meng Yi, she nodded, and after returning the salute, she looked at the study and asked.

Concubine Qi also looked at the young Meng Yi, her eyes were full of doubts, now it was late at night, the full moon was in the sky, why did the king not leave the study for a long time, and the time he stayed in the study was much later than yesterday.

"Back to Princess Mi, the king is in the study!"

Meng Yi saluted Princess Mi.

Since seeing the bamboo slips sent from Qi two days ago, Meng Yi has seen that Ying Zheng has been in a state of mind all day long, as if he is thinking about something, and every time he has disposed of the two-stone bamboo slips, he has been left alone in the study, holding the bamboo slips and thinking.

"Hmm!"

When Princess Mi heard that Ying Zheng was inside, she glanced at Concubine Qi, and the two walked towards the study.

And Meng Yi, who stayed outside the door with the eunuchs, looked at the back of Princess Mi entering the study between salutes, and inadvertently revealed a special look.

Not to mention that he came to the study for a long time, but when he didn't come to the study, he heard that it was because of the recommendation of Princess Mi that he had the opportunity to come directly to the study from a waiter, which became a common thing and assisted Yingzheng in handling affairs.

Before coming to the study, Meng Yi had never seen Princess Mi.

And when he learned that it was the introduction of Princess Mi, after he came to the study, he had been looking forward to seeing Princess Mi who introduced him, and then, when he saw Princess Mi for the first time, Meng Yi didn't know why, and he could no longer forget the appearance of Princess Mi.

In front of the house.

Hiding that special emotion in his heart, Meng Yi turned his head and looked at the candlelight on the wall on the other side.

Meng Yi also had a deep curiosity about the bamboo slips sent by the Qi Kingdom, curious about what the content could make Ying Zheng so obsessed, but unfortunately not to mention him, even Wei Yi, Li Si, and Prime Minister Kui and others had never seen the content in the bamboo slips.

Inside the study.

Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips, and when he saw Princess Mi and Concubine Qi coming, he sighed and slowly put away the bamboo slips.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!!"

Princess Qi and Concubine Qi came to Yingzheng and slowly made a salute.

"Two concubines, come late at night, what's the matter?"

Ying Zheng looked at Princess Qi and Concubine Qi curiously, at this moment, Ying Zheng only thought about studying the bamboo slips sent from Qi in the past two days, and only thought that if there was nothing to do, the two concubines in front of him, don't bother him.

"Your Majesty, the night is dark, the concubine is worried about the king's body, and please rest early!"

Princess Mi looked at Yingzheng's appearance and said softly.

Princess Qi came to the palace earlier than Concubine Qi, she didn't know how many years she hadn't seen Ying Zheng like this, the last time, it seemed that Ying Zheng saw Han Feizi's book "Lonely Anger" and "Five Worms", and Ying Zheng was also like this at that time, and she couldn't put it down.

After Han Fei's death, Princess Mi thought that there would never be such a scene again, but she never thought that in the past two days, she saw that Ying Zhengbi looked like Han Feizi was writing a book.

"The widow is not tired yet, the two concubines will go to rest first!"

When Ying Zheng heard Princess Mi's words, his eyes softened, but he still didn't want to sleep.

As more and more bamboo slips were sent in the past two days, Ying Zheng also saw more and more bamboo slips, the more he looked, the more surprised Ying Zheng became, when he clearly saw the story of the world, which was metaphorically described.

Looking at the current situation in the Qin State, I recall the turmoil in Yingchuan, the intolerance of the Zhao people, and the corruption of officials.

Ying Zheng felt more and more that to solve the current situation in the Qin State, the old gentleman must reveal the method in it.

At first glance, the bamboo slip felt ridiculous.

However, after carefully detoxifying and comprehending, Ying Zheng felt that it was not the absurdity and fantasy of the old gentleman's words inside, but the way of the world, which could not tolerate the old man's study of governing the world at all.

The old gentleman's knowledge is really much more than them.

"The king is the king! Put your body first! ”

When Princess Mi heard Ying Zheng's words, she didn't leave, but after thinking about it, she still persuaded softly, and looked up at Ying Zheng cautiously.

Concubine Qi lowered her head and didn't dare to get up.

Ying Zheng, who was kneeling behind the wooden table, frowned slightly when he saw this, and when he saw the scared looks of the two princesses, he thought about it, nodded, got up and left the wooden table with bamboo slips.

However, just as Princess Mi and Concubine Qi breathed a sigh of relief and got up to leave with Yingzheng, a eunuch hurried to the study.

"Your Majesty, Lord Mao has returned to Xianyang and is waiting outside the palace to be summoned at this time!"

The eunuch came to Ying Zheng and reported to Ying Zheng.

Hear the words.

Ying Zheng's face was overjoyed, and he didn't care about Princess Qi and Concubine Qi, and looked directly at the eunuch.

"The widow wants to see Mao Jiao immediately!"

Ying Zheng said, and asked the eunuch to hurry up and bring Mao Jiao to the study.

Two days ago, Ying Zheng ordered to summon Mao Jiao, and Mao Jiao, who was the Taifu at the time, was still in Yongcheng with Fusu, and now heard that Mao Jiao was back, Ying Zheng could no longer suppress the eagerness in his heart, and wanted to see Mao Jiao immediately, and asked Mao Jiao, who was a Qi person, if he had ever heard of this old man riding a bull.

"The King~"

Seeing that the eunuch was ordered to retreat, Princess Qi and Concubine Qi wanted to say something, but looking at Ying Zheng's appearance, they knew Ying Zheng's temperament, and knew that if they continued to talk about it, they might be angered, so they could only give up.

"Your Majesty, the two concubines will retreat first, and please take care of your body and rest early!"

Concubine Qi opened her mouth and said goodbye first.

The same is true of Princess Mi on the side, knowing that Ying Zheng doesn't like to disturb when dealing with important matters, but before leaving, Princess Mi suddenly remembered Meng Yi outside the door, so she told Ying Zheng that Meng Yi was still outside the study.

"Meng Yi?"

Ying Zheng was a little surprised when he heard this, he thought that Meng Yi had already left, but he almost forgot that he hadn't ordered it yet.

For Meng Yi, as he gets along, Ying Zheng likes this Montessori child more and more, although Meng Yi is young, he is not only talented, but his ability and insights are also quite good, the most important thing is that Meng Yi was born in Montessori, Ying Zheng can feel that Meng Yi and his brother Meng Tian are like that, to the Qin State, to him Ying Zheng are loyal.

"When the concubine leaves, let her leave the palace first!"

Ying Zheng instructed.

Princess Qi nodded, and then left with Concubine Qi.

Outside the study.

Meng Yi saw Princess Qi and Concubine Qi coming out of the study, and hurriedly made a salute.

"The king commanded that he always go back and rest beforehand! Come back to the study tomorrow! ”

After Princess Mi returned the salute to Meng Yi, she looked at Meng Yi and said.

When Meng Yi heard this, he was a little surprised, and then he thought of something, and looked at Princess Mi with gratitude.

"No!"

Meng Yi arched his hand and said.

Seeing this, Princess Mi looked at the eunuch waiting on the side, the eunuch naturally knew what Princess Mi meant, nodded slowly, and then walked in front with respect, leading two maids with candles and lanterns, and leaving with Meng Yi.

Princess Mi looked at the back of Meng Yi leaving.

And Concubine Qi stood aside, looked at Meng Yi, and then noticed Princess Qi beside her.

Although Meng Yi's eyes were vague, others couldn't see the difference at all, but Concubine Qi was thoughtful and careful, and she had already noticed something, but Concubine Qi would not choose to say it, after all, there has been no evidence for this kind of thing, even if there is evidence, as long as there is no transgression, no one will say it.

Regarding the matter of Zhao Ji at the beginning, Concubine Qi, who was in Qi at that time, although she did not come to Qin State, she also heard about it, and she had no way of knowing whether the rumors were true or false from the outside world, but the only thing that was certain was that in fact, the Ying clan headed by the court a few years ago was not Ying Kan, but Yingfu, and then I don't know what the reason was, Yingfu suddenly stopped asking about the affairs of the court.

Yingfu, the most important heir of King Qin Xiaowen, if there is no Empress Dowager Huayang, succeeding to the throne, it must be the son of Yingfu, but unfortunately King Qin Xiaowen was very fond of the Empress Dowager Huayang at that time, so he set up King Xiang of Qin Zhuang as the prince.

Behind the rumors, Yingjie has always hidden her admiration for Zhao Ji.

"What's wrong?"

After watching Meng Yi leave, Princess Qi suddenly found Concubine Qi who was in a trance, and asked softly.

Concubine Qi immediately came back to her senses when she heard Princess Mi's voice, shook her head, and signaled that she was fine.

Late at night.

With the departure of Princess Qi and Concubine Qi, silence returned to the outside of the study, only the eunuchs and maids who had been waiting outside the door of the study moved their bodies slightly from time to time to relieve the paralysis of their hands and feet, and the quiet atmosphere passed for a long time before being broken by slightly hurried footsteps.

Mao Jiao, who was a lot old, under the leadership of a eunuch, entered the study and saw Yingzheng who was still in the study late at night.

"Weichen, meet the king's !!"

Mao Jiao came to the study and saluted Ying Zheng.

Although he didn't understand what happened that caused Ying Zheng to be so anxious to see him, but looking at Ying Zheng who was still in the study late at night, Mao Jiao couldn't help but sigh, only such a king can be worthy of being the co-lord of the world.

Whether it is the Qi State or the envoys to other countries, the kings he has seen, Mao Jiao has never seen a person who can compare with Yingzheng, and even half of Yingzheng's diligence is not far from being comparable.

He never wasted the government, and after the next dynasty, he had to review the bamboo slips of two stones every day before resting, not to mention dealing with many things that could not be made public on the front line.

"Mrs. Mao doesn't have to be polite!"

Ying Zheng also felt a little guilty when he saw a lot of old Mao Jiao coming in a hurry, but when he thought of the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng knew more clearly, and he couldn't delay finding the old man riding the bull.

Kneeling behind the wooden table and raising his hand to return the salute to Mao Jiao, Ying Zheng looked at Mao Jiao.

"The widow hurriedly summoned the Taifu today, there is an urgent matter, and I ask the Taifu to come forward!"

Ying Zheng said, and asked Mao Jiao to step forward.

Before and after the Mao Jiao, he put the bamboo slips of the past two days on the wooden table, stretched out his hand to signal, and let the Mao Jiao pass his eyes.

With doubts, Mao Jiao glanced at Ying Zheng, and after saluting, he carefully picked up a roll of bamboo slips with both hands, and looked at it cautiously under Ying Zheng's gaze.

At first, Mao Jiao saw that it was a story, and looked at Ying Zheng very puzzled, when he saw Ying Zheng signaling to continue looking down, Mao Jiao held back his curiosity and continued to look down, from puzzled to curious, when he found something, Mao Jiao's face suddenly changed, his face was full of solemnity, and his expression was full of panic.

After reading it, Mao Jiao suddenly looked up at Ying Zheng.

"Whom, my lord, forged this book?"

Mao Jiao asked in a serious tone.

Ying Zheng looked at Mao Jiao's appearance, and was a little disappointed in his heart, obviously Mao Jiao may not know this old man who wrote books, and for Mao Jiao's inquiry, Ying Zheng did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Mao Jiao.

"What does Taifu think about the person who wrote the book?"

Ying Zheng first asked Mao Jiao what he thought of the book, and looked at Mao Jiao with straight eyes.

When Mao Jiao heard Ying Zheng's words, he looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, thought about it, and then said without hesitation.

"Great talent!"

Mao Jiao looked at Ying Zheng, as if he was worried that he couldn't say it all, thought about it, and added: "I learned from Mao Jiao, Mao Jiao is ashamed!" ”

When Mao Jiao said this, he looked at Yingzheng's gaze and did not dodge.

"How is it compared to Tian Jin?"

Ying Zheng asked again.

Mao Jiao thought for less than two breaths and shook his head.

"With the bamboo silk is incomplete, but in a few words, you can't see his talent and learning, I'm afraid even Tian Jin, it's not as good!"

Mao Jiao didn't belittle Tian Jin, but Mao Jiao knew that compared to Tian Jin, the short content in the book was all things he had never seen or heard of others.

Ying Zheng nodded, and then did not hide Mao Jiao anymore, and told Mao Jiao the news sent by Hou Sheng.

"An old man riding an old cow?"

After Mao Jiao patiently listened to Yingzheng's words, he was completely stunned, looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, he didn't dare to imagine that it was actually written by an old man riding a bull.

"The king summoned Weichen back to Xianyang this time, is he trying to ~ let Weichen go to Qi State?"

After Mao Jiao learned about it, he didn't know Yingzheng's plans, and after glancing at the bamboo slips, he looked up at Yingzheng quietly.

Ying Zheng did not have the slightest intention of concealing it.

"The widow is bound to have this man's help! My strong Qin, the temple must have a place for this person! The widow has ordered someone to inform Yao Shangqing to return from the Chu State, and in the future, Taifu and Yao Shangqing will find this person for the widow! ”

When Ying Zheng said this, he looked at Mao Jiao's gaze, and a touch of heat flashed.

He really wanted to get this person, he couldn't wait to see the old man riding the bull immediately, as the king of Qin, he wanted to hear it with his own ears, the way to govern the world in the eyes of the old man, the way to govern the world in the eyes of the old man, and all the talents in the old man's heart.

"Wechen obeys!"

Mao Jiao saw Ying Zheng's appearance, and was not surprised, after seeing the bamboo slips, not to mention Ying Zheng, it was him, he wanted to see the old man riding the bull in person, who was the great Confucian, who actually lived in seclusion and was unknown, writing books and learning.

is such a great Confucian, and in the end, which one among the hundreds!

Could it be that a long time ago, this old bull rider had already expected that the world would be unified, so he continued to write the book, and wrote out his ideas, which were preserved in the world and handed over to the world.

Just as Mao Jiao was thinking.

Ying Zheng suddenly took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed them to Mao Jiao, Mao Jiao came back to his senses, took the bamboo slips, and looked at them after opening them.

"Taifu thinks, can there really be immortals in the world?"

After Ying Zheng and Mao Jiao finished reading the bamboo slips, he couldn't help frowning and asked with doubts.

In addition to those details that make people savor, the most worthy of Yingzheng's attention is the immortals in the story in the book.

"Back to the king, Weichen doesn't know, I'm afraid that only by finding this person can we solve the king's doubts!"

After Mao Jiao heard Yingzheng's words, he thought about it for a while and returned to the road.

Looking at Ying Zheng in front of him, Mao Jiao knew Ying Zheng's thoughts, so he didn't rush to say the answer, but continued to talk about the old man.

There is no city of goodness.

Bai Yan, who didn't know anything about Xianyang's affairs, was busy with Yang Duanhe at the moment.

The reason for being busy is not that something big happened in Yanmen, but that suddenly many acquaintances came to Yanmen, which seemed to be visiting, but in fact, they were all pleading for Mijing.

Among the people who plead, not only do they have status and status, but more importantly, they are all acquaintances of the two, or the family friends of the two families, not to mention Rong Ma for half his life, as the pillar of the Yang family, Yang Lao, who did not dare to slack off when he saw it, was Bai Yan, and in the face of the people who came to intercede, they all greeted him respectfully.

Inside the mansion of Yang Lao.

"County guard, this is a bamboo slip sent by the Su family!"

Yang Lao was accompanying Li Yun, Li Qi, and Li Xin to talk in the pavilion, when a cronie hurriedly came to Yang Lao and handed Yang Lao a roll of bamboo slips.

"Sue!"

Hearing the words of his cronies, Yang Lao stretched out his hand to take the bamboo slips, and then smiled bitterly, he didn't remember how many letters of intercession he had sent during this period of time.

"Now that the Yan family has sent it, presumably the matter of Mi Jing can be completely clarified!"

Li Yun knelt behind the wooden table, looked at Yang Lao's wry smile, couldn't help laughing, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Chang Wenjun and Bai Yan who were talking while walking in the corridor in the distance.

"Yes! Today, the teacher has brought the Yan clan here, and the matter must be clarified! ”

Li Xin also nodded when he heard Shibo Li Yun's words.

At this time, as several maids poured the tea one by one, Li Qi and Li Yun looked at each other quietly, and the two of them came here, naturally because of Li Xin's appeal, and because of Chang Wenjun's prestige in the Qin court.

Due to the weather, his father Li Ji did not come because he was too old, of course, this is a statement to outsiders, in fact, my father and the two of them have a vague feeling that this matter is probably not so simple, although there is a confession from the Yan family, but the person was caught by Changping Jun.

Father also had a vague premonition, so he asked the two of them to come with Li Xin to take a look, if they could help Li Xin, who was related by blood, and could get a favor from Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun, it would be good, but if Bai Yan was embarrassed, it would also leave room for improvement, and the relationship between Li and Bai Yan would not be separated because of this incident, and there would be no room for relaxation.

Not far outside the gazebo.

Bai Yan and Chang Wenjun walked side by side, came to the corridor where there were no people around, and looked at Yang Lao and the others in the pavilion in the distance.

"This time General Bai laughed, I was not strict in discipline, and I am really ashamed of my king this time! Choose a day~! After I lead that rebel son back to Xianyang, I will personally ask the king for sin! ”

Chang Wenjun opened his mouth to speak, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Bai Yan with a guilty expression.

"In the past, Bai Yan and Brother Zi Hui also had a lot of friendships, Bai Yan didn't expect such a thing to happen, I don't blame Brother Zi for paying for it, that Yang Jin is beautiful, it is really rare in the world, if it weren't for the king's consideration of the border troubles of the Northern Yue Clan, Bai Yan would have wanted to include it in the mansion!"

Bai Yan turned to look at Chang Wenjun, and quickly shook his head with a smile.

Although he knew that Chang Wenjun in front of him was the one who had wanted to kill him, and he was also the mastermind behind the outbreak of the Yue's War and the death of thousands of soldiers in Gaonu, Bai Yan couldn't say it at this time, let alone tear his face with Changping Jun.

Under the hallway.

Laughing and laughing, when Bai Yan mentioned the matter of Mi Jing, his expression still seemed to be a little palpitating.

"During this period of time, Bai Yan was also afraid that Brother Zihui would be misled and go astray, but now he is fortunate to catch the murderer!"

Bai Yan looked at Chang Wenjun and said.

Chang Wenjun and Bai Yan looked at each other, and suddenly there was movement in the distance, and when the two of them looked, they saw that under the escort of several Qin officials, Mi Jing, who was covered in dirt, was going from the courtyard to the pavilion.

"Changping-kun, please!"

Bai Yan said to Chang Wenjun.

Chang Wenjun turned his head to look at Bai Yan, nodded after two breaths, and returned the salute.

"Please!"

Chang Wenjun looked at Bai Yan politely and made a gesture of please.

Inside the gazebo.

Mi Jing, who has been pressed in prison for more than a month, when she saw Li Xin, her red eyes were full of shame, and she had no face to speak of.

"Compensation!"

Li Xin looked at his friend's appearance, which was also very complicated.

Mi Jing glanced at Li Xin gratefully, then silently shed tears, knelt on the ground, and after a while, when he knelt on the ground with his head down, Mi Jing, who heard the sound of footsteps, looked up and saw his father coming.

"Father!"

When Mi Jing said these two words, his heart was full of remorse, he understood that he ended up like this, it was all because he was greedy, if he honestly listened to his uncle's instructions, how could his father come all the way here.

With the words of Mi Jing.

In the eyes of Li Xin and the others, Chang Wenjun, who had just come to the pavilion, stepped forward with an angry face, and kicked Mi Jing fiercely, and the huge force made Mi Jing fall to the ground, with a painful expression on his face.

Mi Jing, who has been free of food and clothing since she was a child, has been locked in the prison for more than a month, and she is not used to eating the kind of wild vegetable soup of prisoners.

"Teacher!"

Seeing this, Li Xin hurriedly got up and glanced at Mi Jing with concern, and then looked at his mentor Chang Wenjun with flattery.

"Chang Wenjun, the matter has passed! Don't be angry! ”

Bai Yan looked at Mi Jing's appearance and also stepped forward to dissuade her.

"The Yan family has been caught, Bai Yan will write the matter of Yang Jin in the bamboo silk, submit it to Xianyang, and hand it over to the king for decision!"

When Bai Yan said this, he turned his head to look at the Qin officials.

"The murder case in the past has been clarified, and the person was not killed by the prison imperial history, but by the Yan family, release him immediately!"

Bai Yan ordered.

And as Bai Yan's words fell, before Li Xin, Li Yun, and Li Qi could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw Chang Wenjun's angry voice.

"If you don't let people go, you will press this rebel to Xianyang!"

When everyone heard this, they saw Chang Wenjun's angry face, and his eyes looked directly at Mi Jing's appearance.

Seeing this, several Qin officials looked at Bai Yan with hesitation.

"Go down first!"

Bai Yan didn't embarrass a few Qin officials, and let a few Qin officials leave first.

Inside the gazebo.

Yang Lao knelt behind the wooden table, although he didn't know what Bai Yan had just said to Chang Wenjun, but when he learned what Chang Pingjun had done in the past, he was a little puzzled when he looked at Bai Yan, who was letting people go so easily.

Before the puzzled Yang Lao could think clearly, he saw Li Yun's servant in the distance, hurriedly walking over with a roll of bamboo slips.
