Seeing that the trade in the Western Regions was about to take place next month, and Zhang Han was busy training cavalry, I sighed lightly and frowned and thought about who to send to Baiyue.

Four of the six generals in Baiyue died, which is not a big deal, and the imperial court must send people to Baiyue to deal with many things such as investigation, reprimand, and change of generals.

I turned around and sat down.

"Qi Juan, call Li Si, Feng Zai, and Yu He."

After a while, the three of them came to the Four Seas Palace, sat down after saluting, and I told everyone about Baiyue, of course, it was Zhao Tuo's version.

After speaking, I looked at Yu He.

Feng Zheng was already the prime minister of Zuo, and Yu He was naturally promoted from Yushi Cheng to Yushi Doctor. However, at present, the affairs of the imperial history are mainly handled by Feng Zheng, and he is regarded as the chief minister of Zuo Cheng in charge of the imperial history. But this is not in accordance with the rules, the imperial historian is also one of the three princes, the three princes are originally lacking the captain, if the imperial historian is in charge of the prime minister again, then the three princes will be left with the prime minister.

The reason why Yu He couldn't completely take over the past was also because Feng Qu was in too much of a hurry at that time, and he couldn't completely hand over the past for a while. Feng Zheng's left prime minister didn't dare to be the same as Feng Quji's right prime minister, he could spend his days with mud all day long.

I looked at Yu He, this person looked a little, his eyes were bright, he sat motionless when he sat upright, as if he was made of clay, and he didn't smile all day long. I heard that in addition to the impeachment of Meng Yi who had impeached Zhao Gao, those officials were most afraid of him, which is really called an iron-faced selflessness.

"Yu He, what do you think of the Baiyue incident I just talked about?"

Yu He still had an iceberg-like expression, and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the "Qin Law", if there is such a rebellion in the army, the lord will have the right to cut it first and then play, and what General Zhao Tuo did is not improper." It's just that after the fact, it is necessary to show His Majesty, and the Imperial Doctor will conduct an investigation to verify the authenticity of the matter; The captain reprimands the commander-in-chief, replaces the general, and so on. ”

Li Si smiled slightly, and continued: "It's just that no one has taken the position of captain now. ”

I nodded.

"Therefore, this matter will be handed over to Yu He Yiyi to deal with. Zhang Han went to deal with it, but Zhang Han now has important things to do in the Chaoyi camp and can't leave. ”

Yu He arched his hand and said: "There is nothing wrong with the minister going to Baiyue, but it is suspected of violating the law." ”

I paused and said, "I order Qi Liang, the left guard, to go with you. ”

Although Qi Liang has been by Bai Liang's side for a long time, his loyalty to Daqin is still remarkable, but he is not decisive enough to act and is too cautious, so it is most suitable to send him to do this kind of "business trip" work.

Yu He got up and said: "The minister received the order, and today the minister will set off for Baiyue." ”

"Okay, let's get ready."

Yu He bowed down and withdrew from the Four Seas Palace.

After Yu He left, I looked at Feng Zheng and said, "Feng Xiang, what do you think of Zhao Tuo?" ”

Feng Zheng was originally a doctor of imperial history, and the assessment of officials was carried out by him, so he naturally knew Zhao Tuo better than others.

Feng Zai thought for a moment, as if he was recalling Zhao Tuo's assessment over the years.

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhao Tuo's official evaluations over the years have been excellent, and since he led the army to stabilize the Nanban in Baiyue ten years ago, he has never had any bad deeds. But according to his generals, he seems to be a little indecisive, often making a decision for a long time, but fortunately he did not miss the fighter. However, the minister thought that the Baiyue Qin army was different from other Qin armies, and it was a half-peasant and half-army army on the border of the tunbian, which may have something to do with it. ”

I got up and walked to the hall, and Li Si and Feng Zheng also hurriedly got up.

They watched me pacing for a long time, and they didn't know what I meant. Just as the two of them were confused, my voice came from in front of me.

"Who do you think can be qualified for the position of captain?"

Both of them were shocked in their hearts.

When Yingzheng was alive, he only had a national lieutenant, and since the unification of the six countries, one of the three princes, there has never been a captain, because he is afraid that the taiwei will have too much control over the army and threaten the emperor. You must know that when setting up the Taiwei, the Taiwei's duty is to control all the Qin troops in the world, how can he not make the emperor jealous.

The two glanced at each other, not daring to speak casually. They had been following me for three years, and they knew that I was deep in my mind, not at all like a seventeen-year-old boy.

Both of them were waiting for the other to speak, Li Si was so embarrassed that he was sweating a little, and he was thinking about whether to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, but I turned around and returned to the front of the case, and said lightly: "Let's put it down for the time being." ”

I also know that the position of lieutenant must not be decided casually.

At present, those who have the qualifications to serve as Tai Lieutenant in Daqin are basically like Wang Ben, Meng Wu, Li Xin and others, who are dead and old.

As for Meng Tian, Zhao Tuo, Wang Li, Sun Wuhe, and others, they may be okay as generals, but they have not been in the court for a long time, and they have no special merits, so they are really unworthy of the duties and powers of the Tai Lieutenant.

Li Si and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I waved my hand for the two of us to sit down.

"Now the prison army has not met my expectations, and it cannot be sent to the army, so let's talk about this matter after all the prison troops are sent to various Qin troops."

I glanced at Feng Zheng and asked, "Are the cavalry's swords, saddles, stirrups, etc., all the things I require equipped with?" ”

Feng Zheng replied: "Your Majesty, except for the saber, there are still more than 5,000 shortages, and the rest have all been sent to the Chaoyi camp and handed over to the Zhang Protector Army. ”

I nodded: "The Road to the Western Regions will be completed next month, and these 30,000 cavalry are the top priority." Not only do I want these 30,000 cavalry to protect the safety of the envoys and caravans, after a winter, the Huns must have been ready to move. If the Huns dare to attack, I will take them to give the new army a sacrifice flag! ”

I glanced at Li Si and asked, "Have you chosen the envoy to the Western Regions?" ”

Li Siying said: "Your Majesty, it has been selected, the envoy is the pedestrian Zhang Xuan, and the deputy envoy is the pedestrian Fang Ji, and the duties of the envoy have been informed by them, and the state rites have been prepared." ”

I nodded and didn't speak.

In fact, I don't know what the combat strength of the new army is, if it is intercepted by the Huns, the new army does not play the expected combat power, it will suffer heavy losses.

It's just that if the Ba and Wu clans are concerned, the loss will also be lost. But if the envoys of the imperial court were killed or captured by the Huns, it would be a serious blow to me and to Daqin.

While I was pondering, Qi Wan came in to report and Ku Jia came to see me.

I motioned for him to come in.

It's been more than a month since I made wine, and I think it's been effective.

Sure enough, Ku Jia looked excited when he came in, and he was still holding two tightly sealed clay pots in his arms.

"Your Majesty, the wine is brewed."

I took the clay pot, Meng He stepped forward and opened the clay pot on the left hand, and a strong aroma of wine came to my nose.

Li Si and Feng Zheng also smelled the fragrance.

"Your Majesty, what kind of wine is this? How can there be such a strong aroma? ”

I laughed and said, "It's a distilled spirit brewed by the Armor of the Divine Order." ”

Feng Zhengqi said: "What is distillation? ”

I watched Meng He pour the wine into Juezhong, judging from the hops and taste, it should not be low.

"It's a long story, it's not easy to explain, and it's my exclusive secret recipe, so I can't tell you easily."
