After the condolences, Yingwen invited me to the side room alone.

I felt a little heavy and comforted: "Zongzheng is already in the year of the Cane Dynasty, and he can be regarded as a long life, and he has not suffered any torture, so you don't have to be too sad and mourn." ”

Ying's eyes were slightly red, and she arched her hand and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Then I took out a white silk from my arms, I frowned slightly, it turned out to be an edict? I don't remember when I gave Ying an edict that has always been in effect, generally the edict is issued once, and the person who receives the edict executes it according to the edict, and then it will only be kept, how can I carry it with me.

Ying Yan presented the edict with both hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is an edict left by the emperor to my father. My father had long wanted to present this edict to His Majesty, but he had a bad memory and always forgot it. Before his father's death, he instructed his ministers to personally hand over this edict to His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to submit it. ”

I frowned, took the edict and opened it to look at it, and my eyes widened suddenly, among them was Yingzheng's arrangement for Li Si! The content is very simple, to the effect that if Li Si can assist the new monarch wholeheartedly, he will use it, and if he has a different heart, Yingwu can use this edict to kill Li Si!

I suddenly woke up, no wonder Yingwu said that there were countless ways to kill Li Si that day, and with this edict alone, Yingwu could call on the world to punish Li Si!

Hurriedly looked at the date again: February of the 37th year of the First Emperor! It was a few days before Yingzheng went on patrol!

There is a noteworthy thing about the edict, that is, although Yingzheng said that he assisted the new monarch, he did not say who the new monarch was. It seems that Ying Zheng may have left such an edict in history, he took into account that the new monarch may not be able to control Li Si, but it is Zhao Gao, who trusts him the most, who will eventually destroy the Qin Empire!

I was silent for a long time, put away the edict, and glanced at Yingzhen: "Except for Zongzheng, no one has read the content of the edict, right?" ”

Ying Yan replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, this edict has been kept by my father personally, until my father suddenly woke up before his death, and the minister learned that there was such an edict, and absolutely no one had read it. ”

I nodded, and judging from the traces, the edict had only been opened once, and then it was sealed again and never opened again.

"Treat it as if it never happened, and don't mention the edict to anyone again."

"Your Ministers obey."

I was a little emotional, I don't know what Li Si's expression would be when he learned that his most respected Yingzheng had left such an edict. But now even without this edict, I don't have to worry about him anymore, with my current control over the court and the Qin army, I don't have to worry about anything, marrying Li Shiyun is more to let him assist me wholeheartedly, and at the same time tell those important ministers that I am still towards them.

Then he didn't think much about it and took Meng He back to Xianyang Palace.

When I returned to Xianyang Palace, I burned the edict with my own hands and watched it turn to ashes.

Since it no longer has any effect, it can only be a curse to keep it. In case this edict spreads one day, with Li Si's character, it is inevitable that the monarch and ministers will be suspicious.

At the beginning of February, everything was ready for the trip.

Temple of the Four Seas.

"Feng Xiang, Xianyang will be handed over to you, if there is anything, first find Zongzheng to discuss with the Queen Mother and the Empress, and then let someone pay tribute." Yingshang was originally Zongzhengcheng, and after Yingwu's death, there were no more virtuous and respected clansmen in the clan, so Yingshangyuan took over Zongzheng's position.

Needless to say, as the queen mother, she must have some prestige.

As for Li Shiyun, although she has just become the queen and has a weak personality, but after she entered the palace, she divided the forbidden army in Li You's hands into 500 people as the Yuan'an forbidden army, and the Yuan'an guard is my original prince's family order Li Shan, although he is a big housekeeper, but he is proficient in the six arts, can be literary and martial, once Xianyang changes, the role of the forbidden army is undoubted.

The queen of the Qin and Han dynasties is not a joke, in addition to having her own guards, young mansions, young servants and a bunch of subordinate officials, if the emperor and the queen mother are not in the palace at the same time, according to the system, she can even use the queen's seal to mobilize troops other than the Yuan'an forbidden army! I guess this is also one of the reasons why Yingzheng didn't make a queen in history.

Feng Zheng bowed and said yes, and couldn't help but think of Feng Quji, when Yingzheng went out on patrol, it was Feng Quji who stayed in Xianyang, and now it has become him......

"Li Xiang, ordered the officials above 1,000 stones to follow, and the rest of the people stayed in Xianyang. Bai Chong didn't have to go, let him supervise the construction of the new city. I continued.

Thousands of stones above include the three princes and nine qing's main positions and their deputy positions, and then the specific work, if they all take away Daqin, they will be paralyzed, after all, I have been on the road, I can only deal with big things, if small things are chasing me, then I don't have to go out of Xianyang.

Li Si arched his hand and said, "Obey." In addition, please ask Your Majesty, do you want to add some more guards? Now there are only a thousand people, and the ministers are afraid that there will be rebels and thieves. ”

I shook my head, this time the patrol list has reached 1,000 ordinary guards, not counting those forbidden troops, attendants, ministers, etc., all of them are estimated to add up to more than 2,000.

"There are not many soldiers, I have ordered the Gong to enter and build a short spear, and Meng Heren has gone to study, and he can protect my thoughtfulness. Too many people cost money and food, and the speed of travel is too slow. Before August, I will return to Xianyang to prepare for the imperial examination and the imperial court, and I will go to as many places as possible in the shortest possible time. ”

When Li Si heard this, he didn't say anything more.

Since Li Shiyun became the queen, Li Si's attitude towards me has changed perceptibly, and in addition to the power he is obsessed with in his heart, he has added a heart to "work" for himself. After all, he is now the reign of the second emperor, and the third emperor will be his grandson in the future, although he is a relative after all, he is still emotionally close.

Later, the route of the march, the arrangement of the palace, etc., the route is roughly the route of Yingzheng's fifth eastern tour, so the palace does not need to be rebuilt, saving a lot of costs.

After the two of them left, I called Meng He in.

"The selected forbidden soldiers are already proficient in using muskets, right?" The biggest advantage of this thing is that anyone who picks it up can kill people, it's nothing more than a matter of accuracy, and the forbidden army can use a bow and crossbow proficiently, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Meng He arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, twenty people can achieve nine hits out of ten." ”

After a moment's hesitation, he continued: "It's only twenty people, is it too little? ”

I waved my hand and smiled: "Firearms are not known yet, what twenty forbidden soldiers with firearms can do, and thousands of people with cold weapons may not be able to do, so don't worry." Let them follow the group stealthily, and I may leave the group in the middle of the tour and be escorted by them. ”

Meng He no longer hesitated, and arched his hand: "The minister obeys the order, and the minister has ordered the clean rooms along the way to secretly protect His Majesty's safety." ”

Hearing him mention the clean room, I frowned slightly, and then ordered: "The news of my patrol has been spread to all counties, and I am afraid that I will not see the true situation of the Qianshou. Thou hast ordered the clean room to carefully monitor the counties, and all those who have blocked the heavens will be carefully examined in each place. ”

The clean room has developed into an intelligence network for the imperial court, and this is the time for them to come into play.

"In addition, go and tell the public to in, that thing is not in a hurry for the time being, let's discuss it again!" I remembered what the confessor had entered, so let's wait, now is not the time.
