In January, a sparse light snow fell on the head of the wall, turned into water, and flowed to the base of the wall, and winter arrived.

Covered in silver, there is no one on the already cold long street, and the people are hiding in their homes, looking forward to the rapid passage of this winter, they do not like winter.

Winter for the poor people means cold, slaughter, and sitting on empty food. A white expanse is not worth singing about, and it is not much to see.

"God, let this winter pass!"

The people of the world cowered and shouted.

Winter is not suitable for travel, so it is naturally not suitable for patrolling.

The cold weather would cause great trouble for the Qin army, adding countless negative variables to the already dangerous parade, but it would provide a better opportunity for the remnants of the Six Kingdoms to assassinate.

The First Emperor was not afraid of this, but he would not make trouble for himself and create difficulties to move up.

The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest is hidden in winter.

The sun rises and the sun sets.

This is the law of nature, and it is also the law of the ancients.

The ancients had great reverence for the heavens because they really relied on the heavens for food, far more than the modern ones relied on the heavens.

Once the winter lasts a little longer, it is true that some people will starve to death and freeze to death, especially the elderly.

The physical strength of the elderly is not as good as that of the young, and every winter is a life-and-death crisis for many elderly people.

If you can't bear it, you will die.

In this piece of wind and snow, the two generals of Great Qin rushed to Xianyang from the northwest.

The first emperor granted amnesty, defended the border for the Great Qin Empire, and stationed in Mengwu in Shangjun, and Mengtian in Jiuyuan County The two fathers and sons could return to the capital.

The wind and snow are brave, and the stars and nights are combined.

The father and son hung a white frost and returned to the Meng family where they grew up.

In addition to Zhao Su, the fine monarch of Mengwu, Bu Xianglian, the fine monarch of Meng Tian, and Meng Yi of the internal history of the Great Qin, they were greeted by them.

There is also a drooping old man wrapped in a thick leather coat who was supported by Chang'an Jun Yingcheng, who should not have appeared here.

"Coming back?"

The veteran laughed and was very happy.

"Father."

"Father!"

Ying Cheng handed the old man into the hands of Meng Wu and Meng Tian, and said with a smile:

"Old boy, the imperial brother called me, I will enter the palace first, and I will come to see you another day."

When Meng Wu and Meng Tian didn't come back, he had no problem accompanying Meng Fu here. Meng Wu Mengtian returned home, this family must have something to say, and it would be inappropriate for him to stay any longer.

"Thank you, Chang'an-jun."

The veteran said gratefully.

Veterans who haven't read books and don't know how to read are not stupid.

Out of the gate of Meng's house, Ying Cheng's face facing the long street instantly darkened.

If Meng Fu is angry, this old man will not live long.

Birth, old age, sickness and death were things he couldn't control, and he once felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Last time, it was his father, King Qin Zhuangxiang, who died of illness, and he had thousands of family fortunes and countless treasures. Xianyang has Xia Wuhe, the heir of the highest medical family, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see a holy hand of a doctor.

These are difficult for Yingzi Chu to continue his life for a month.

In the face of death, all beings are equal.

Whether it is a beggar who begs to get by, or a co-owner who has the power to dominate the world, it is the same.

The pond of Chang'an Junfu did not freeze, and flakes of snowflakes fell into the pond and blended into it.

When it's cold, the koi no longer toss happily on the surface of the water, and they all swim at the bottom of the deepest and warmest pool. From time to time, he will rise to the surface, open his mouth and take a breath of fresh air and sink quickly.

The number of koi fish at the bottom of the water has increased, and the turmoil of the silver needle that has sunk to the bottom of the water is much more frequent, and the frequency of floating on the surface of the water is also much faster.

The First Emperor, who did not forget to fish with a straight hook in winter, had a calm face, and turned his head to Xia Wuhe, who had just come out of the Meng family, and said:

"How is Meng Gong?"

Recently, every day, Xia Wuhe would enter Meng's house to check Meng's body, prescribe conditioning medicine according to Meng's physical condition, and know Meng's physical condition well.

"This winter shouldn't be going to last."

In the courtyard, Ying Cheng, who was sitting on the pillar, the first emperor who was fishing by the pond, and Xia Wuhe, who was standing with his hands over, were all silent.

The north wind swirls and goes, and it is not only the temperature that goes with it, but also the life.

"Seal the marquis."

Ying Chengcheng said suddenly:

"That old boy didn't look at it, he never said it, but he actually values it a lot. People are going to die, so let him be happy. ”

Xia Wuhe wanted to retire, this was not something he could listen to.

After so many dealings, he already knew that the relationship between the two brothers, Emperor Shi and Chang'anjun, was not ordinary. is not like other royal children who treat each other as enemies, but like brothers who depend on each other for their lives.

But such a major event as the Marquis of Feng, especially the Marquis of Che, Ying Chengcheng intervened at will, which still made Xia Wuhe feel unreal-the Great Qin Empire now has only one Marquis of Che, the Marquis of Wucheng.

[Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are clear, how can it be possible to be a marquis because of a person's death? Chang'anjun is so naïve, childish and a little cute, maybe Handi is a good place. ]

Xia Wuhe secretly thought, if he is not optimistic about Ying Cheng, he is optimistic about Ying Cheng's territory.

The next day, the Xianyang Hall held a court meeting.

The First Emperor decreed that all qualified persons must attend the meeting.

At the morning meeting.

Wenchen was headed by Xiangbang Jiang Shang.

The right prime minister Wang Juan, the left prime minister Li Si, and the imperial historian Feng Qujian are at the beginning.

The military general is headed by the national lieutenant Lian Po.

Meng Wu, Meng Tian, Tu Sui, Zhao Tuo, Ren Huan are at the beginning.

There is also a Meng Fu who should not have appeared at the court meeting, and he saw that he had more breath and less breath.

Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi sat around Meng Fu, with incomprehension and anger in their eyes.

The First Emperor separately ordered the veteran to attend the court meeting, and he must be there.

Originally, Meng Fu's health was extremely poor, and the time of the morning meeting was still very early, and he had to get up before dawn to travel, which was the coldest time of the day.

Even if the ox cart was covered with thick animal skins, a fire was lit in the carriage a quarter of an hour in advance to raise the temperature, and the old man was wrapped in four layers of leather clothing.

The old man's complexion was still a little worse than the naked eye at the moment he went out, and he coughed a few times.

"This is murder! Father, I'll help you back to the house! ”

Meng Wu said with an angry face, and was about to walk back with his father in his arms.

"I'll go and talk to Your Majesty! How can you do that! ”

Meng Tian, who was small for the first emperor, did not maintain his small hair this time, and he also had the same expression as his father. It was the first time he had such anger and disappointment with the First Emperor.

The face felt cold, and the cold invaded from the surface to the internal organs, and the body was very resistant.

The originally blazing eyes glared at the eldest son, the eldest grandson, without a bit of brilliance.

"The king's order, you have to obey."

The old man said weakly.

He has seen Wu Anjun, who did not obey the king's order, and he would not make this mistake.

He's going to die, but his family is still there, and his children and grandchildren are still there.

The pilgrimage begins.

The First Emperor asked Xiangbang Jiang Shang to report on the situation after the implementation of the decrees in various places, but there were important things that had to be dealt with immediately.

To govern Su Nei, Shi Fu Zikang reported on the taxes in various places, and judged the degree of concentration in various places from the payment of taxes.

Zhang Tu, the commander of the court, reported on the number of prisoners in various places, the number of people serving forced labor, the number of subordinate concubines, and the number of cases.

……

This time the meeting was held for a long time, and Ying Chengchan, who was in the first row, always paid attention to the direction of Meng Fu.

He saw that Meng Fu couldn't sit still, his body was swinging, and the simplest regular who used to sit for a day was still like a clock, but now it was torture.

He saw that the faces of Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi were getting more and more ugly, and dissatisfaction and anger were piling up more and more.

He was also very angry and looked at the high First Emperor, as if the real eyes made the First Emperor instantly feel and looked over.

"Brother Huang, what are you waiting for? O Marquis! ”

Ying Cheng's lips moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound.

The First Emperor could read lips and could tell what he was saying by the shape of his mouth.

The First Emperor, who was sitting on the high platform, turned his head to look at Meng Fu and smiled.

Without Gai Nie, Zhao Gao's cover, this smile appeared clearly and unmistakably in front of all the courtiers.

[Your Majesty is in a good mood because Meng Fu is going to die?] ]

[Wang Jian went to Qidi, and the influence of the Wang family in the army was greatly reduced, and only the Meng family was left in the army. Now that the army has collapsed, the army is in the hands of His Majesty. ]

[The Holy Grace of the Meng family has come to an end!] All right! The Meng family, whose eyes are above the top, will be suppressed after all! ]

[How can you torture Meng Gong like this!] ]

……

The courtiers thought about each other, and their thoughts were different.

Meng Wu's face turned angry, he couldn't hide it all the time, so he had to get up immediately.

He has long looked at the current king as unpleasant, and he can't stand such humiliation! His Meng family is full of loyalty, and the Meng family who died on the battlefield for the Ying clan doesn't know how many, why was his father so humiliated!

But he was held down by the veteran, and he didn't know where the veteran who was struggling to sit got his strength.

Ying Cheng, who knew the inside story, thought that the first emperor would open his mouth in the next second and would be a marquis for Mengfu.

Unexpectedly, the first emperor's eyes turned and swept towards Feng Quji, the imperial historian who was in charge of picketing hundreds of officials and was known as the deputy prime minister.

"Feng Quji, the officials of Xianyang who violated Qin's laws recently ......"

"Your Majesty!"

Ying Cheng stood up and rudely interrupted the words of the First Emperor in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

The already quiet Manchu Dynasty civil and military was silent, and the silence was terrifying.

Ying Cheng Chan is powerful, and they know that they are afraid of Ying Cheng Chan.

But how dare you be so presumptuous? Forcefully interrupted as the First Emperor spoke. It's true that you have great power, but you have forgotten that this power is given to you by heaven!

The heaven of the Qin State is the first emperor.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty paid attention to the first emperor who was interrupted, and many of them thought that they would inevitably see the first emperor's anger - the first emperor was not happy, and the anger and joy were written on his face.

However, they saw the First Emperor's smile even deeper.

"What's the matter?"

They heard the voice of the First Emperor very gently.

[Don't provoke Chang'anjun!!! ]

In an instant, all the courtiers were shocked by this thought in their hearts.

[Brother Huang, you are really a good trick! ] ]

Ying Chengyun raised his hands high, bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"In the first year of King Zhuang Xiangxian, Meng Gong was the general, cut down Han, took Gao and Xingyang, and placed Sanchuan County.

"In the second year, Zhao took thirty-seven cities.

"In three years, Gong Han took thirteen cities.

"For four years, the two cities of Wei Guochang and Wei Guochang were treacherous.

"In five years, we attacked Wei, pulled out twenty cities, placed Dongjun, and leveled Jin and Yang.

"Six years, defeat the Five-Nation Alliance.

"Your Majesty succeeded to the throne, in the first year of the king, Xiangbang Lü Buwei, and his disciples rebelled in the Qi Nian Palace, and Meng Gong led 8,000 armor soldiers to attack, and the change of the Qi Nian Palace. Kill the thief Lu Buwei, Chang Yu, and set aside the chaos to serve His Majesty as the king anyway.

"Meng Gong has worked hard and made great achievements, is loyal to Daqin, and does his best to His Majesty. Meng Wu, the son of Meng Gong, Meng Tian, the grandson of Meng Gong, and Meng Yi inherited the ambition of Meng Gong, all of which are imperial humerus.

"The minister is the Duke of Meng, please seal the Marquis!"

Onslaught!

The last wave that beat the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces has not passed, and the wave that is even bigger than just now has passed.

Meng Fu died, and seeing that His Majesty is about to get all the military power, you Chang'an Jun now want to ask Meng Fu to be the Marquis of Che?

Your Majesty used fertile land to finally replace Wang Jian as a marquis, do you want to invite another one now? When Your Majesty doesn't know that you are close to the Meng family?

——Meng Wu didn't even toast the queen Ah Fang at the banquet in the Xuanniao Palace, but only toasted Ying Chengcheng, which was already seen by people with a heart.

Aren't you anti-aristocratic and want to centralize power for Your Majesty? What are you doing now? You're taking your majesty's power! Your Majesty can't be of so much use to your holy favors! Isn't this looking for death!

"Your Majesty!"

The veteran Meng Wei shouted weakly, and stood up tremblingly under the support of the eldest son Meng Wu and the eldest grandson Meng Tian beside him, he wanted to stop this!

"Wait a minute."

The First Emperor's voice was not high, but the firmness and warning in his voice were clearly audible, and the four words made the veteran hold all the words in his heart.

The veteran had already been warned by the First Emperor once when he entered the palace with armor and sword before.

Moved his gaze to look at his brother and said with a smile:

"Can you think about the title?"

[Chang Anjun is smarter, and if he speaks properly at this moment, he can still save his life.] ]

The courtiers all lowered their heads and remained silent in the cold Xianyang Palace, and everyone thought that the First Emperor was angry and laughed.

If it is a normal situation, the minister can put forward a title admonition, but now it is an abnormal situation.

Proposing to give Meng Fu the title of marquis was originally a horizontal jump in the killing line of the first emperor, if he even thought about the title in advance, it would have completely jumped to the side of being killed.

"Meng Gong took down more than 70 cities for Daqin, and since the establishment of the Qin State, there is no one who can take the city, and the whole army will be crowned the champion!"

Ying Cheng's words were sonorous and powerful.

[Chang'anjun is finished!] Where did the Marquis of Champion put the Marquis of Wucheng! Where is Wu Anjun placed! ]

All the courtiers exclaimed in their hearts.

[Brave crown of the whole army, this title is so respected!] ]

A small number of generals had a strange light in their eyes, and they couldn't help but glance at Ying Cheng.

Although they feel that this young Chang'an Jun may not be able to survive Meng Gong, they can't stop them from feeling very good about this Chang An Jun who speaks up to Meng Gong at this moment.

"Champion of the three armies, champion Hou, good."

The First Emperor nodded again and again, and his soft self-muttering made the Manchu civil and military think it was calm before the storm.

The next moment, the First Emperor said that he would drag Ying Chengcheng out and chop off his limbs and expose him to the outside of the palace, and they would not be surprised, they would not be surprised by what kind of overreaction the First Emperor made.

"That's right.

"Meng Fu, Feng Champion Hou."

The First Emperor's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice.

The courtiers counted one by one, and they all raised their heads, their faces full of horror and shock.

[Your Majesty, agreed?] ]
