"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... See Your Majesty......"

The First Emperor was amused by his exaggerated reaction, and smiled and waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, let's go down and claim the reward......"

Don't clean up on yourself?

In a daze, he went out one foot at a time, and it was not until he really received the reward that he was convinced that the First Emperor had really said hello to him, instead of remembering his last offense and preparing to settle accounts after the autumn.

"Your Majesty is benevolent!"

Retort instantly felt that the waist pole was straight!

Your Majesty, you have personally greeted me and said that you remember me!

This goes out, and it can't be blown for a lifetime-

This kind of emotion made him extremely excited all day long, and he was busy with energy, and he couldn't stop, he couldn't stop at all.

The First Emperor and Zhao Ying naturally didn't pay attention to the mood of this little person, for them, it was just a whim.

After lunch, Concubine Zheng followed Ji Ji and other ladies to the backyard to chat, while Emperor Shi went to Zhao Ying's study. Zhao Ying's study has been replaced with wide glass windows.

Under the window, there is a chaise longe.

There are two pots of green plants at the feet, although it has entered October, but Zhao Ying's room is as warm as spring, warm in winter and cool in summer, these two pots of green plants are still verdant, in this season, it looks quite eye-catching.

The First Emperor Shi Shiran lay down and stretched comfortably.

The warm sunlight shone through the wide window and shone on his body, making his eyes slightly closed, a warm sense of comfort.

"You stinky boy, I'll enjoy it - look back at you, and give my father a whole ......"

Zhao Ying walked over skillfully, and said with a smile while helping the First Emperor pinch his shoulder with a soothing movement.

"I'm not worried about ruining the layout of the Great Father's Palace-you are solemn and elegant, and you are all in one, and suddenly you have such a large window......"

Zhao Ying simply imagined that picture, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"What does that look like......

If he really changed the demon of the imperial study for the first emperor, later generations of historians and cultural relics workers would have to scold his mother, what kind of ghost animal style is this.

"It doesn't matter what he looks like, as long as I look at it and likes it, it's hard for anyone to dare to make irresponsible remarks about me because of this......"

Zhao Ying: ......

"Done! After the New Year, I will change the imperial study for you......"

The first emperor took a nap this afternoon, slept a little heavier than before, and when he woke up, he only felt refreshed, and turned his head to see that Zhao Ying was sitting there, flipping through the letters.

Seeing that the First Emperor woke up, Zhao Ying didn't get up, but just said hello with a smile.

The First Emperor leaned over and teased.

"You are nagging around me every day, you want me to combine work and rest, work and rest, and feel that your combination of work and rest is only effective for me, right......?"

Zhao Ying stopped what he was doing and looked at his father with a teasing face.

Then, he made a gesture of raising the crown.

"Father, do you think I need to consider anything with my stature......

First Emperor: ......

"Smack-"

Give him a slap in the face.

Zhao Ying shrunk his neck, and he was immediately honest.

The grandfather and grandson talked and laughed for a while, and Zhao Ying smiled and handed over the letter in his hand.

"Father, I just have something to ask you for, Wusun's side seems to be a little dishonest recently, they are entrenched at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, which is quite unfavorable to our plan to operate the Western Regions, I am ready to let the Hexi side send troops after the New Year, eradicate the troubles, and take advantage of the situation to completely bring the entire Western Regions into the scope of our Great Qin's rule......"

Emperor Shi originally looked a little relaxed, but when he heard Zhao Ying talk about this, his face suddenly became serious, he took the letter handed over by Zhao Ying, and looked down.

This is from a private letter from Liu Ji to Zhao Ying.

Different from the official memora written to the imperial court, this letter not only introduced in detail the situation of the Western Regions at this time, as well as several skirmishes that broke out between the Qin army and Qiuci and Wusun, but also wrote Liu Ji's bold judgment of the situation in the Western Regions, and privately suggested that the emperor's eldest grandson ask His Majesty for his order to use troops against Wusun as soon as possible.

"If Wusun is not removed, the countries of the Western Regions will wait and see, and people's hearts will be unstable......"

After reading Liu Ji's letter, the First Emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"I didn't expect that your subordinate Liu Ji was vulgar and unliterate, but he also had some knowledge......"

Gently put the letter back into the bookcase in front of Zhao Ying, the First Emperor looked at Zhao Ying and frowned.

"It's just the integration of the power of Loulan, Cheshi and Yanqi, can you destroy Wusun?"

Zhao Ying groaned for a moment and shook his head.

"Wusun is powerful, and the non-Western Regions countries can contend with it, so although Qiuzi has no choice but to make friends with my Great Qin, he may not be willing to do his best to deal with Wusun, not to mention, Gumo, Wensu, Weitou and other countries are still wait-and-see, swaying from side to side, only with the power of Loulan, Cheshi and Yanqi, they may not be Wusun's opponents......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying said seriously.

"Once the battle situation falls into a stalemate, or loses, I am worried that the prestige that Liu Ji and others have built up with great difficulty in the Western Regions will be lost, and at that time, I am worried that even if Loulan and the land of the Cheshi are not necessarily repeated-so, if it can't be destroyed, it will be decided in one battle, and then the war is better than not fighting......

Zhao Ying knew that unless he personally led his troops into the Western Regions, relying on his current strength far beyond ordinary people, he would capture the flag and defeat the enemy army strongly, otherwise the little strength of Great Qin in the Western Regions would not be enough to support a war in which the weak defeated the strong.

But in this most sensitive and critical period in the history of Great Qin, how dare he easily leave the left and right of the emperor.

The First Emperor naturally didn't know the concerns in Zhao Ying's heart, and at this time, seeing that he didn't take the initiative to ask for help, he was quite happy in his heart. Great Qin naturally needs an invincible commander, but it doesn't need an invincible monarch.

A guy who risks arrows and stones at every turn, and is brave as a horseman, how can people feel at ease to hand over Daqin to him?

The First Emperor looked at Zhao Ying with a pleased look in his eyes and nodded slightly.

Zhao Ying's analysis just now is very reasonable, now the influence of Great Qin on the Western Regions is still very limited, if he can't fight a war to show the prestige of Great Qin, it will be a disaster for Great Qin.

"It's just that the construction of the Western Regions Chi Road is slow, and next year may not be enough to support the dispatch of troops......

The road is impassable, and the difficulty coefficient of using troops in the Western Regions is almost doubled.

It is difficult to project troops, and logistical support is even more difficult.

The manpower and material resources invested are almost double the geometric progression, which is a bit more than worth the loss for the current situation in Daqin.

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but smile and reminded.

"Father, don't you forget something......

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Thirty Miles.

The First Emperor was stunned at first, and then came back to his senses.

"You mean gunpowder ......"

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

"Although gunpowder is still relatively rudimentary and not suitable for frontal use on the battlefield, it is more than enough to open mountains and cracks. With the help of gunpowder, the construction progress of the Western Regions Chi Road will be greatly accelerated, and I estimate that it will be successfully completed at the beginning of spring tomorrow......"

Zhao Ying's successful completion refers to the fact that the most difficult section of the Bailongdui to Loulan can be successfully repaired.

As long as this section is opened, Daqin's troops and materials can quickly enter the Western Regions from Hexi County, and from then on, the moat will become a thoroughfare.

Even without the blessing of Chidao, the terrain of the Western Regions was not enough to become an obstacle to the advancement of Great Qin's troops.

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but completely put his mind at ease.

"Good! Now that you have a plan in mind, I'll leave this matter to you......"

Although his eldest grandson, with Han Xin's return from the captivity, is now unparalleled, he does not mind continuing to promote his grandson's prestige in the government and the opposition.

With the previous merit of sweeping Mobei, pacifying Hexi, and expanding the territory for thousands of miles, if you add the merit of destroying Donghu, recovering the Western Regions, and defeating the Xiongnu, even if you don't have the previous layout, you can directly canonize the emperor's eldest grandson as the emperor's grandson, who can question it.

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded, considered it slightly, and proposed.

"After the Chinese New Year, I want to send Wang Li back to Hexi as soon as possible, reorganize the army, enter the Western Regions with Zhang Han, assist Liu Ji, sweep away Wusun, and subdue the Western Regions, and Chen Ping can also accompany him, as the overseer, counselor of military affairs......"

The First Emperor waved his hand indifferently.

"You can arrange these things yourself, and you don't have to discuss them with me......"

Since his own grandson, since he is willing to bring Zhang Han, Wang Li and Chen Ping to share the credit from Liu Ji, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, the credit of the Western Regions is too great, and with Liu Ji and Lu Juan alone, I am afraid that they will support it, and share a little profit, which can be regarded as a kind of protection.

After Chen Ping entered the Western Regions, he could let Xiao He temporarily take over the post of Hexi County Guard, Li Zuoche and his son were counselors, and the vacant Wu Wei, he was ready to transfer Li Xin to the nearest town.

Such vital places must be held tightly in the hands of one's own people.

And on the other side, Monce is temporarily in charge.

Now, Mao Dun is still too busy to take care of himself, as long as he does not lose his mind, it is impossible for him to turn his face with Daqin.

You must know that the envoy who asked for help from Daqin and prayed for Daqin's assistance was about to arrive in Xianyang, where did they dare to barn their teeth against Daqin at this time?

After discussing this important matter, the grandparents couldn't help but smile at each other.

Originally, he said that he would completely relax and not talk about national affairs, but he didn't expect that when he was talking, he would talk about national affairs again, and by the way, he also made a decision that was enough to be regarded as a major event for the Western Regions and even for Daqin.

"Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs......"

The First Emperor smiled and waved his hand.

"I finally made up my mind today, and I was ready to steal for a while, and I was taken to the ditch by you......"

Zhao Ying simply pushed the case up.

"Let's go, don't talk about state affairs, let's go make dumplings ......"

This is probably Zhao Ying's last obsession with his previous life, how can he not eat a meal of dumplings made by himself during the Chinese New Year?

……

Just when the First Emperor rolled up his sleeves and followed Zhao Ying to make dumplings with great interest.

Western regions.

Yuanqu City.

Liu Jizheng was hiding in the room with Lu Juan and drinking.

"Big brother, do you think Your Highness will agree to your proposal, and really use troops against Wusun......"

After three glasses of wine, Lu Juan couldn't help but ask.

"It's better to agree - otherwise, Lao Tzu won't even be able to sleep......"

Liu Bang scooped up a roasted golden leg of lamb, first took a big bite of it, and then scolded and scolded.

"Lao Tzu just went to the Western Regions to pick up cheap ones, but I didn't expect to be chained to this place where birds don't and can't go back, and now I have to worry about whether Wusun's grandsons will rebel all day long......"

Lu Juan raised his sleeves, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and added a sentence very unimpressively.

"Then what if His Highness doesn't agree......"

"If you don't agree, what can Lao Tzu do! Die here, is it possible to dare to escape back? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ji couldn't help but scold again.

He knew better than anyone that if the section from Loulan to Bailongdui could not be cultivated, it would really be difficult for Daqin to help him substantially. Because it is too difficult to deliver troops or supplies.

"You have been honest lately, don't go and provoke those small countries in the Western Regions at every turn, if you get out of the basket, the situation of our two brothers in the Western Regions will be even more difficult......"

Lu Juan shrunk his neck a little weakly.

"Hehe-hey - then I'll meet in the future, just hide?"

Liu Ji was so angry that he raised his hand and almost smashed the leg of mutton on his hand directly.

"Are you pig-headed—what are we? It's the messenger of Daqin, it's not a cat or a dog, support Lao Tzu, the more arrogant you are, the more they don't dare to act rashly, just don't take the initiative to provoke them, stop in moderation, you know no! ”

After speaking, he felt uneasy and waved his hand impatiently.

"Forget it, after you celebrate this New Year, hurry back and continue to stare at the gallop over there......"

Lu Juan: ......

Looking at Liu Ji, who had been covered with white skin, looking at Liu Ji, who was a few years younger than Du Fu, and then looking at himself who had been exposed to the wind and sun and had become a little darker, Lu Juan suddenly didn't want to speak.

"Damn, wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, who can know our scenery today. For the Chinese New Year, we can't go back and not talk about it, we can only eat sand here......"

As soon as Lu Juan thought that he was going out to stare at the group of people again, he couldn't help but take a sip.

Liu Bang also stepped on the stool and scolded.

"What are you doing when you go back, you're not an old bachelor when you go back, you don't even have a warm quilt at home, but it's Lao Tzu and me, and I can't go back there with my daughter-in-law who is like a flower and jade......"

Lu Juan: ......

Really!

Thinking about it like this, I seem to be much more relaxed.

Licking his face, he poured Liu Ji a glass of wine from the Western Regions.

"Big brother, your sister-in-law, I look at it a little bit of a posture, and now I have an official body, why don't you wait to go back, you can help me say yes, and the two of us brothers will be a brother-in-law, kiss and kiss ......"

Liu Ji couldn't help but glance at his own black, thin and obscene good brother.

I don't know where this guy got his confidence.

With his sister-in-law's above-the-top temperament, it would be strange if he could take a fancy to you, but there was a match on his lips.

Anyway, as for whether it will succeed or not, it is not your own business!

The most important thing for people is to be self-aware.

What do I look like, what do you look like, no points?
