In the middle of spring, the earth warms up and the cold gradually recedes.

Zhao Tuo's body is also like the arrival of this spring day, quickly recovering, in less than half a month, it is already in a similar state as usual, able to walk and walk, ruddy complexion, eating and laughing freely, and it is impossible to see that he is a person who has just been seriously ill.

Everyone was amazed, in this era, when encountering a violent illness, even if the cultivation is good, it is also a great injury to the vitality, and it will be weak for a period of time.

However, there is Xia Wuhe, the imperial doctor was pushed out by Zhao Tuo, and he is only in his twenties, young and strong, and has good recovery ability, so this matter has not aroused many people's suspicions.

There is only one person, or he has seen through everything.

Zhao Tuo naturally didn't dare to eat the citrus that day, but only waved his hand and said that he wanted to eat soft and glutinous hot food.

Yingyin Yan also obediently asked the maid to change the food, and did not say much about this matter.

But the narrow smile in her eyes said it all.

Zhao Tuo could only sigh in his heart, his daughter-in-law was really born with a pair of discerning eyes.

I don't know where he showed his feet.

However, Ying Yinyan sensibly didn't mention this matter again, and Zhao Tuo just passed it, and only secretly reminded himself in his heart that he couldn't use this kind of trick in the future.

The reason why he chose the group of medicine refining monks in the "Violent Disease" pit this time was that he was afraid that the emperor would be addicted to medicine and lead to chronic poisoning.

is also afraid that the emperor will favor him too much, and when he takes medicine in the future, he will think of him Zhao Tuo, and often give him medicine.

In order to eliminate this hidden danger, it is better to invite that group of monks to "die" completely.

Now everything is going well, the matter of refining medicine has been completely solved, and at the same time, Zhao Tuo has also received praise from a bunch of people for blocking poison for the emperor.

Even the First Emperor, although he did not come to visit Zhao Tuo in the future, would give a lot of nourishing food, gold and jade from the palace every one or two days, which showed that he had feelings of gratitude and guilt for Zhao Tuo in his heart, which made Zhao Tuo nod secretly, feeling that his abdominal pain was not in vain.

As time passed, in addition to the terrifying-looking Jingguan by the Baqiao, which still left the imprint of this event, its influence gradually receded, and was replaced by two other major events.

The first thing was that the first emperor took Zuo Gengwang Li as the main general, Qiang Yan and Yang Yuan as the deputy generals, and led the troops of the Yue clan with Su Jiasha, the female marquis of the Yue clan, and recruited the Xiongnu cavalry to assist, and went west to conquer the Yue clan in Hexi and launch a new war.

In this war, the titles and qualifications of the two lieutenant generals are higher than Wang Li, but Wang Li's identity is special, his father and ancestors are both generals of the Qin State, and he has made a lot of contributions with Zhao Tuo's Northern Expedition, which has been valued by the emperor, and it can be said that he will be the main general in this war.

Before Wang Li was ordered to go on the expedition, he also visited Zhao Tuo once in the mansion of the Marquis of Wugong and asked him about the key points of this expedition to the west.

"The Marquis of Wucheng and the Taiwei are both famous generals in the world, and I, Zhao Tuo, also take Brother Wang's ancestor and father as my teacher, and practice the art of military struggle. Brother Wang let these two worldly names not ask for advice, how can he ask me for the truth. ”

Zhao Tuo politely pushed back, and by the way, he praised Wang Jian and Wang Ben.

Although Zhao Tuo's title is much higher than Wang Li's, in private, he still makes Wang Li a brother, which is also the origin of his relationship with the Wang family, and the relationship cannot be too distant.

Wang Li shook his head and said: "Brother Zhao is also the general of my Qin State, and he is no worse than my father and ancestor, so why be too humble." He said that although he had fought in the Three Jin Dynasty and the Chu State, he had never fought with the Hu people in the north, and the suggestions put forward did not conform to reality. ”

"As for the eldest father......

Speaking of this, Wang Li showed a wry smile and said: "Eldest Father fell a few days ago, although it is not a big deal, but his spirit is not very good, I don't want to mention the battle more, so I only asked Brother Zhao." ”

"What, Wucheng Hou fell!"

Zhao Tuo was shocked and hurriedly asked Wang Li about the specific situation.

After a while, knowing that Wang Jian was not seriously injured, Zhao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The day of Wang Jian's wrestling was the day after the pit killing the priest.

Calculating the time, what happened in Xianyang happened to spread to Pinyang.

"He won't be frightened by my drug violence, does he, really think it's the emperor's hand?"

Based on his understanding of Wang Qian's character, Zhao Tuo made a reasonable guess, which was a little speechless.

Since Wang Jian is like this, Zhao Tuo is not easy to push back Wang Li's request, so he put forward some suggestions for the current situation.

Attack the heart first.

Use the surrendered Yueshi people to make a fuss and divide and disintegrate the relationship between the two Yueshi and the Yueshi kings located in Hexi, so that the Qin army can get twice the result with half the effort if they capture Hexi.

"Brother Wang should use Sugartha. This woman is smart and has the heart to belong to my Great Qin, and if she is the core of attacking Hexi, this battle is not a big problem. However, it is not my race, after all, we must be more vigilant, and when Brother Wang is appointed, he must also take some precautions. ”

"Thank you Brother Zhao, I should reuse this woman to make meritorious contributions."

The king departed from thanksgiving.

After sending Wang Li away, Zhao Tuo still sighed a little.

He can no longer go to the battlefield, in addition to his own desire to stay in Xianyang and pay more attention to the emperor, the main reason is also because he is only in his twenties and has made great achievements in war, and he is knighted as Marquis of Lun.

If he makes another great contribution and becomes a liege, then Zhao Tuoke will really climb to the top of the Qin State's title system, and he will be sealed at a young age, and the end will not necessarily be very good.

Even if the First Emperor is domineering and confident and can tolerate him, what about the Second Emperor in the future?

What about the Third Emperor?

What awaits him will be a cold place

Look at Wang Qian, how smart that is.

"After returning to Xianyang, he hadn't visited Wuchenghou because of suspicion, and this time he fell, just under the pretext of going to see it, and by the way, he learned the way of Taoguang and obscurity."

Zhao Tuo made a decision in his heart.

But he didn't travel immediately, because the dark tide of Xianyang was surging in the past few days.

After the end of the Fangshi incident, many people began to boast in private about the merits of the first emperor in unifying the world and subduing the barbarians of the Quartet, and said that he had reduced the taxes of the head of the Qianshou a while ago, and proposed to ask the emperor to follow the example of the ancient holy king and perform the great gift of enshrinement of Mount Tai.

Most of these people were Confucian doctors who were belittled by the First Emperor before, and they were languishing after being banned from the right to participate in politics in the previous dynasty, and now they finally seized the opportunity of Feng Chan to regain the emperor's credit, and naturally spared no effort to play, and the First Emperor was simply blown into the only holy monarch on the earth.

In addition to Confucianism, there were also Yin and Yang scholars and those who advocated going to sea to seek immortals, who helped Confucianism spread public opinion and influence the ministers of the court.

Then those ministers who were interested in currying favor with the emperor also joined in, such as Wang Juan, the prime minister of Zuo, and Wang Wu, who governed Su Neishi, and they went around in tandem and began to advocate the major event of sealing Zen.

The leader of the Legalists, Tingwei Li Si, remained silent on the matter and did not express his opinion, which made this undercurrent bigger and bigger.

Finally, on the third day after Wang Li accepted the appointment of the First Emperor and led his army away.

The matter of sealing Zen officially kicked off at the court meeting.

Led by Zuo Prime Minister Wang Xuan, followed by Zhisu Neishi Wang Wu and others, they formally put forward a proposal to ask the First Emperor to perform a great ceremony of canonization.

"Since ancient times, the world is in turmoil, the three emperors and five emperors are Shengming, but the land they rule is only a thousand miles, the Xia Shang Dynasty ruled the Quartet, and its foreign princes obeyed the princes or the dynasty or not, and the Son of Heaven could not be controlled."

"Only I went out to conquer the east of Qin, relying on the gods of Your Majesty, annihilating the six countries, Kuang Ping Hai, and subduing the barbarians in all directions, King Hu gave the head, and the power of Zhuxia shook between Hu Yi, which is the only great achievement in ancient times. The minister Wang Xuan, please Your Majesty to perform the ceremony of sealing Zen, in order to tell the heavens and declare virtue in the world! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers echoed them.

"Your Majesty's merit is unprecedented, and the minister seconded it."

"Minister Wang Wu, seconded the proposal."

"Minister Zhaohai, seconded."

……

The First Emperor sat on the emperor's couch, looking at all the ministers in the court who agreed with Wang Juan's proposal to seal the Zen, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was irrepressibly revealed.

Seal Zen.

This is the most desirable thing for all emperors, which means that he wants to show his merits to the heavens.

According to those Confucian scholars, the last king of Zen was King Zhou Cheng, who pacified the rebellion of the three eunuchs, built Zhou, and stabilized the world, then went to the east, sealed Mount Tai, the head of the Zen Society, and told the heavens with merit.

After Zhou became king, no one did the thing of sealing Zen for 800 years.

However, there are not many people who have the heart of Zen.

It is said that after the Duke of Qi Huan established the hegemony, he proclaimed: "The widow went north to the mountains and crossed the lonely bamboo; The Western Expedition to Great Xia, wading through quicksand, harnessing horses and hanging carts, and going up to the Beier Mountain; The southern expedition to Zhaoling, climb the Bears Ears Mountain to look at Jianghan. The meeting of the military vehicle is three, and the meeting of the car is six, the princes of Jiuhe, the world is a Kuang, and the princes do not disobey me. ”

Feng Zen's heart swelled in Qi Huangong's heart, and then he was scolded by Guan Zhong for a while, asking him why you have such a great credit, and the Fenghuang Qilin does not come, and Jiagu does not give birth, but it is the basil and the herbs, and the owls are counted, let Qi Huangong review it well, what is the reason.

Qi Huan Gong lowered his head silently, not daring to mention the matter of sealing Zen again.

"Qi Huan's industry is known as the overlord, but compared to me, it is just a candle flame and the sun competing for brilliance! Therefore, in the past, there was Guan Zhong's heart to discourage Qi Huan from sealing Zen, but today it is the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, who all persuade me to do the matter of sealing Zen. ”

"That's the gap!"

The First Emperor was proud in his heart, and his eyes were fixed on the two people in the hall.

One is Tingwei Li Si, and the other is Zhao Tuo, the martial arts marquis.

The proposal of sealing Zen was advocated by Confucianism, and the purpose of those Confucian scholars was very clear to the First Emperor, and Li Si must also be very clear.

With a smile on his face, under the gaze of the First Emperor, Li Si also echoed: "Your Majesty is also the third emperor, and the five emperors are meritorious, and the matter of sealing Zen is the destiny of heaven, and the minister Li Si seconded it!" ”

The First Emperor nodded with satisfaction and looked at his son-in-law expectantly.

Zhao Tuo smiled bitterly in his heart, not to mention that the emperor had already been angry with him before, even if he hadn't said it, who would dare to oppose it in this case?

If you dare to raise an opposing opinion, isn't it just saying that the merits of the first emperor are not as good as those emperors who sealed Zen before?

This is a matter of political stance, far more serious than the previous opposition to the knighthood, and if you stand on the wrong team, you will end up miserable.

The First Emperor was not the Duke of Qi Huan.

And they're not the ones who are in charge.

This is probably the reason why all the ministers of the court support and agree, and few people will be fools to be mixed into this position.

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and arched his hand: "Minister Zhao Tuo, second." ”

The smile on the First Emperor's face widened.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, at the great court meeting on this day, all the things that asked the first emperor to do the things of sealing Zen, and told the emperor to die in heaven with the merits of the emperor and a universe to subdue the barbarians.

Under such hospitality, the First Emperor did not refuse.

Zhao said: Yes.

The name of Wang Jian's marquis is the Marquis of Wucheng on the Langya carved stone.

I checked the "Marquis of Wucheng" that many readers said, and found that there was no clear source of the historical book, and the earliest source that could be found was the "Great Qin King's Reward Book" in the fifth part of the "Great Qin Empire" published in 08, which is likely to be Mr. Sun's original self-design, so it is not used here. Friends who have discovered the source of earlier historical materials can talk about it.
