Let women also marry 'wives' and have children like men, such a decision, Yingcheng does not dare to decide.

will cause more trouble.

And like most men, the so-called mountains and tombs dare to be with the king, it is just a temporary obsession, in this era, even if you love each other again, after having a certain amount of power, you will definitely have three wives and four concubines.

On the contrary, after a woman has power, the problem of three wives and four concubines will also arise.

But!

Yingcheng shook his head, and had to ask: "I'm afraid this law is difficult to implement, I wonder if Feng Gong has other thoughts?" ”

"If a woman is an official, she needs to pass the four public examinations, and His Majesty will order her to be an official!" Feng Qujian replied with a slight sink.

Yingcheng shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's discuss this matter later!" ”

If you can't reach a result, you can only think about it again.

He also understood that Feng Quji seemed to be legislating for women, but in fact, he was against women as officials.

The four public examinations are taught, and His Majesty personally ordered it, which is more difficult than the champion of the imperial examination system.

In this case, a woman's entry into politics is tantamount to a fantasy.

"The old minister obeys!" Feng Quji naturally knew the twists and turns, and he didn't think that he could change Yingcheng's mind immediately, just a reminder, and hoped that Yingcheng would not go too far to improve the status of women before there was a specific decree for women as officials.

After all, for thousands of years, although the status of women has improved, it is far from reaching the point of entering politics.

In particular, the consequences of women's participation in politics are by no means as simple as they seem.

"Feng Gongliang works hard, and the city understands it!" Yingcheng nodded.

As he spoke.

Suddenly, there was a flurry of panicked footsteps ringing out of the door.

"Prison country, the big thing is not good, the beacon fire in Gaoling is rising, and the east is in an emergency."

Wang Shu's restless voice shouted outside the hall.

This made the three people who were still in the process of deliberation startled, and Yingcheng suddenly got up and rushed towards the outside of the hall.

Li Si and Feng Qujian also rushed out of the hall in a hurry.

I saw many generals of the Taiwei Mansion standing anxiously outside the hall, looking incredulous.

"What happened?" Yingcheng rushed out of the hall and asked.

"Prison country, Gaoling beacon tower is ignited, the specific situation is not yet known, but I am afraid, as expected by the former prison country, the Xiongnu really crossed the northern defense line and invaded Guanzhong."

Wang Shu hurriedly replied: "The last general has sent someone to investigate, but in the hinterland of Guanzhong, the last general can hardly imagine how Gaoling will ignite a beacon fire!" ”

Although Yingcheng had already been reminded by Li Si in his heart and sent someone to investigate, he did not expect that the scouts who went to investigate the situation had not returned, and the beacon fire was the first to burn.

"Send scouts to scout the enemy immediately." Yingcheng said in a deep voice, already moving, and hurriedly went to the Tongtiantai.

Li Si and Feng Quji, who went out in a hurry, also hurriedly followed.

Many generals also followed.

The Dalu Mansion was not far from Tongtiantai, and soon, Yingcheng stood on Tongtiantai, staring to the northeast.

On the northeast side of Xianyang City, there is a beacon tower, which will be lit only when Gaoling lights the beacon fire, not along the Chi Road and build, but according to the city, in Gaoling, Liyang, Chongquan, Luocheng, Haoyang, Xiayang and other cities.

As soon as there is an irresistible enemy situation in the northeast, the beacon fire of Gaoling will be ignited.

This is just pointing in the specific direction.

And at this time.

The beacon fire on the northeast side, billowing wolf smoke rises, straight into the sky.

According to the military information transmitted by the beacon fire, if there are fewer than 1,000 thieves, one beacon, less than 3,000 thieves, two beacons, and three beacons.

If the three beacons are raised together, they will be ignited in all directions, and the four directions will gather together.

The beacon fire ignited at this time was the three beacons, which could be seen not only on this rooftop, but also in the entire Xianyang City and even the surrounding areas.

"Spread the Jiuqing Division, immediately go to the Taiwei Mansion to discuss matters."

Yingcheng gasped and said in a deep voice: "The national decree of the prison will be issued, from now on, the grain trade and salt trade in Guanzhong will be strictly controlled, and before the ban is lifted, no grain shall be sold without an order." ”

Yingcheng ordered in a deep voice, but it was still too late.

From Liss to now, he didn't think that the crisis would come so quickly, and before that, he didn't make any adjustments.

The war, just like that, came out of nowhere, unexpectedly.

"Zhao Mansion!" Seeing that Yingcheng didn't mention the matter of the Zhao Mansion, Li Si hurriedly asked.

"To find out the enemy's situation, if it is a Xiongnu, Zhao Mansion and Mrs. Guo will be imprisoned!" Yingcheng said in a deep voice.

"No!" Li Si replied gloomily.

Rapid.

Yingcheng moved to the Taiwei Mansion.

Over time.

More and more military generals and government orders have also appeared in the Taiwei Mansion.

It's just that they all looked extremely confused, and they didn't know why the beacon fire suddenly burned.

"Report, Captain Xu Zhen, the commander of the sixth battalion of the garrison, came to ask for clarification of the enemy's situation."

"Report, General Meng Hong, the commander of the Lishan battalion, has come to ask for clarification of the enemy's situation."

"Report, General Yang Xi, the commander of the Acheng Army, came to ask for clarification of the enemy's situation."

"General Feng Hua, the lieutenant of the Lieutenant's Mansion, has come to ask for clarification of the enemy's situation."

And at the first time, the entire military camps around Xianyang also urgently sent the lieutenant to Xianyang.

It's so sudden.

And it's too scary.

For the first time in nearly ten years, Xianyang City burned with beacon fires.

It made everyone nervous.

"Beacon fire, Gaoling lit a beacon fire?" The students studying in the Chinese Academy asked in disbelief.

"What, Gaoling lit a beacon fire?" Wucheng Houfu, Wang Li, who was still in charge, screamed in surprise, he couldn't believe it, and he couldn't care about anything else, and said in a deep voice: "Second master, I hope that the second master will take care of my father's funeral." ”

"Come on, take my armor and enter the palace!"

"Beacon?"

"Beacon?"

"Gaoling will light a beacon fire?"

There were also voices of surprise in the mansions of Xianyang City, and they couldn't believe that this was true.

"After eight years of tranquility, is the war coming again?"

"This direction is wrong, isn't Gaoling the hinterland of Guanzhong, how can a beacon fire be lit?"

"Oh my God, Gaoling is lit with a beacon fire, isn't Guanzhong going to be in chaos?"

"Which rebellious minister and thief dares to make trouble?"

On the streets and alleys of Xianyang City, the sound of discussion is also endless.

The beacon fire burns, and everyone can see it, but what the beacon fire represents, there is only one situation, there is an enemy situation.

And most of the people are people who know the meaning of the beacon fire, and the specific enemy situation has not yet been figured out in the Taiwei Mansion, and the spread of Man Xianyang has spread.

"Gaoling's guard Jiangpu came to report, the beacon fire rose in Liyang, no enemy was seen, and the enemy situation was not yet known."

"Report, Xiayang guard general Shi Dong came to report, the beacon fire started in Puyang, Hedong, no enemy has been seen, and the enemy situation is not yet known."

"Report, Hedong County guards 800 miles in an emergency, the beacon fire rises from Shangdang Pingyang, and there is no enemy situation in Hedong."

"Report, Shangdang County Guard General Wu Long came to report, and the beacon fire started from Wu'an, Handan County...... Report, Handan County guards 800 miles to report urgently, the beacon fire rose from Feicheng in Hengshan County, Handan did not see the enemy. ”

"Report, Hengshan County guard Qi Wu 800 miles rushed to report, the beacon fire in the middle of the people, but, but ...... The commander of the Zhongren Mountain Beacon Tower, the Wu Chang Wang Mountain, accidentally ignited the beacon fire, and General Qi Wu has arrested all the owners of the Zhongren Mountain Beacon Tower, escorted them to the capital, and waited for the court to fall. ”

In the Taiwei's mansion, from day to night, from dark to midnight, the scouts who came to report after midnight were not cut off.

But.

Wait until the result.

The entire Taiwei Mansion was silent.

"Damn, which dog's day lit the beacon fire, and lit three beacons, ignited the beacon fire by mistake, Lao Tzu went to his mother's." When Wang Shu heard this, he stomped his feet in front of Yingcheng and scolded.

"Ignited the beacon fire by mistake, how could he ignite the beacon fire by mistake, what did he Qi Wu eat, improper appointment, and his majesty should be punished for the crime of impropriety." Yang Feng, who was also the eldest minister, roared angrily.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not the enemy who is coming, it's not the enemy who is coming." The king breathed a sigh of relief from the armor on his body.

"Damn, Sanfeng burned, all the way from Hengshan, Handan, Shangdang, Hedong to Xianyang, it turned out to be a mistake?" Guan Yu, who was also the eldest chief, sat on the ground and complained.

Hearing the report of the eight hundred miles of urgency, it also made everyone in the Taiwei Mansion breathe a sigh of relief.

Nei Shi Teng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said: "It's an oolong, it's okay, I'll just say, Gaoling, Xiayang, and even Hedong are now the hinterland of my Qin country, how can there be a fire of the three beacons." ”

"But this crime of misreporting must be severely punished, how can it be justified."

False positives.

Many important ministers in the entire Taiwei Mansion also breathed a sigh of relief.

Accidental ignition means that there is no war, Guanzhong is as stable as Mount Tai, and there is no crisis.

However.

The whole Taiwei Mansion was full of joy.

But Yingcheng glanced at each other with Li Si and Feng Quji.

Many officials in the Imperial Governor's Mansion didn't know about many of the situations, so it was okay to think so, but they knew the crisis, but they became more and more uneasy.

Ignition of a beacon fire by mistake.

It's never normal for something like this to happen at this time.

In the past few decades, there have not been a few cases of accidental ignition of beacon fires in Daqin, especially the three beacons burning at the same time, and each beacon tower is guarded by a military commander, how can such a strange burning be normal.

"This matter is not simple, let's straighten out the armament!" Yingcheng raised his hand, suppressed the noisy voices of the ministers who were talking about conviction, and said:

"Nei Shi Teng listened to the order, and immediately mobilized grain and grass from Nanyang granary and Luoyang granary into Xianyang granary, reduced other uses, and hoarded grain and grass in case of emergency."

"Fortified garrisons in granaries everywhere."

Nei Shi Teng was still breathing a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be surprised, and said incomprehensibly: "Prison country, there is no military in this pass, and this is from Nanyang and Luoyang to mobilize grain and grass to come, I am afraid that something is wrong." ”

In the face of Nei Shiteng's question, it was Feng Qu who stood up in a deep voice, and said: "You don't need to ask more about this matter, just do it, in addition, count the granaries everywhere, if there are less than a million bells of grain, you can buy grain from the noble families to prepare the warehouse, the old man will go to explain this matter to the nobles, you can go and buy grain." ”

Nei Shi Teng was shocked, although he didn't know, he still quickly replied: "Weichen obeys." ”

This caused a group of relaxed generals and ministers to be shocked.

Wang Shu frowned and asked, "The last general dared to ask Gong Feng, the prison state, isn't there still a crisis in Guanzhong?" ”

Feng Qujian frowned and looked at Yingcheng.

Yingcheng nodded, and Feng Quji said in a deep voice: "Generals and ministers, Guanzhong is now in danger, and it is not as stable as you imagined. ”

"In other words, today's Great Qin is encountering a crisis comparable to the five countries attacking our Qin State in the past, if my Qin State cannot survive this crisis, I am afraid of great disaster."

"W-how is this possible?" Wang Shu was surprised and lost his voice: "The five countries are fighting together, endangering Xianyang, Gaoling was almost lost, and now in this world, stability is as usual, how can it be?" ”

"It's too complicated to explain." Feng Qujian shook his head and said: "And the prison country and the old man both think that the burning of the three beacons this time is not a misfire, but a test against my Guanzhong defense, or a strategy to exhaust myself." ”

"Therefore, the Taiwei Mansion not only cannot relax its vigilance, but also sends exploration horses to conduct large-scale explorations in Hedong, Shangdang, Handan, Hengshan, and even Shangjun and Taiyuan, especially in Taihang and Luliang."

"I have calculated that if there is a crisis, maybe the Xiongnu and Donghu people will bypass our northern defense line and raid the Linjin defense line in Guanzhong."

Feng Quji did not explain everything clearly, and the matter about Weiyang Jun is currently only known to a few people, and cannot be publicized to the outside world.

But even so.

Hearing Feng Quji's explanation, Wang Shu still frowned and said, "How is this possible, isn't Feng Gongmo mistaken?" ”

"Not to mention the beacon tower built along the gallop road, just the beacon tower connecting the counties, all high and down, in the place of the military fortress, not to mention the Huns marching south, it is more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, if you want to bypass the beacon tower, raid Guanzhong, that is also impossible to do."

"There will be doubts about such speculations."

"At the very least, the guess must be empirically proven, how can such a long territory, a large army of soldiers and horses march, not be discovered."

"Besides, as far as today's beacon fire is concerned, the connection with Hengshan County is still there, if there is an enemy, it has already been discovered, how can it appear in Guanzhong quietly."

Wang Shu did not hesitate to object, now the three protectors of the Taiwei Mansion are not there, and when facing Li Si and Feng Quji, they are indeed weak, but the Prime Minister's Mansion has always maintained a boundary with the Taiwei Mansion, that is, the three Protector Captains are not there, and the Taiwei Mansion is not something that the Prime Minister's Mansion can be arbitrarily transferred.

"According to what Feng Gong said, the Taiwei Mansion continued to send scouts, and ordered the defenders of the northern counties to search it, and search it in a dragnet style, especially in the realm of no man, focusing on the search." Yingcheng was silent.

Although the beacon fire ignited by mistake, he also believes that it was a blatant temptation.

To know.

The culpability of igniting the beacon fire by mistake is a great crime to wipe out the three clans, and it is impossible to burn the three beacons at the same time like this, if it is not deliberate.

Because the three beacons are burning, it indicates that the appearance of an enemy that is enough to make a county irresistible will definitely spread to Xianyang.

Everywhere they passed, all the armies were in a state of readiness for battle.

The soldiers of the beacon tower are all credible soldiers, and it is difficult to ignite them by mistake.

"This, please also issue it with a prison decree, and the Taiwei Mansion should comply with it." Wang Shu frowned, although Yingcheng was in charge of the prison country, but, after all, it was only a prison country, and it was quite inappropriate to rush to launch such a big military operation by mobilizing the troops of the northern counties.

"No problem!" Seeing Wang Shu like this, Yingcheng nodded and said, "If there is a problem at that time, all the responsibilities will be borne by me alone." ”
