Chapter 342: Inspecting the Western Regions
Soon after the two left, Zhang Han followed.
After taking his seat, Zhang Han said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Wang Jin's musketeers and cavalry have been prepared, and the remaining 10,000 cavalry and 15,000 musketeers are equipped with muskets, there is no problem guarding Xianyang, when will Wang Jin set off?" ”
I thought for a while and said: "It's a cold winter, Hexi and the Western Regions are probably even worse, but I'm not in a hurry to increase the troops, wait, set off again in early February." ”
"Yes."
I looked up at the map hanging next to me, thought for a while, and said lightly: "Let them go to the Western Regions with the best mental outlook, and I am determined to go with them!" ”
Zhang Han raised his head in astonishment and said in surprise: "Why did Your Majesty ......?"
I leaned back on the sofa-like chair, looked at Zhang Han and said, "It has been six years since the Western Regions were included in the territory of Great Qin, but there are still kings and courts in the countries, and Great Qin's management of the Western Regions is slightly better than that of the fetters, which is not good." ”
Zhang Han frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's worries are not unreasonable, but why do you need Your Majesty to go in person?" At the beginning of the decision, the Western Regions is close to several large countries, what if there are traitors who plot to endanger His Majesty's safety? Wang Jin led 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 musketeers over this time, and I believe that it can greatly deter all countries! ”
I shook my head: "It's different. Deterrence by force is necessary, but when a great power acts, it must be encouraged and used to make people willingly bow down to their vassals. Now the countries of the Western Regions have the impression of Great Qin, except that the merchants are the Qin army, the merchants are heavy on profits, and the soldiers are thirsty for killing, don't they make the people of the Western Regions think that Great Qin is really a country of tigers and wolves who are heavy on profits and do not know how to be polite? ”
Zhang Han nodded lightly and agreed: "What Your Majesty said is reasonable. ”
Then he carefully glanced at my expression, and hesitated: "Do you want the minister to immediately inform Meng Tian and tell Wang Jin to prepare?" ”
I heard the meaning of Zhang Han's words, but I didn't bother with him, and it was inevitable that I would become tactful after staying in the inner court for a long time.
I leaned more comfortably in a different position and smiled, "Go ahead and do it." ”
"Rare book, call those three."
When Zhang Han heard my answer, his hesitant expression relaxed slightly.
"Obey the order, the minister retires."
After Zhang Han left, I paced out of the west side hall.
Uncle Sun Tong and Yu Jin were still working hard to write, and when they saw me come out, they hurriedly put down the textbooks in their hands, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty." ”
"How's it going?"
Uncle Sun Tong said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the part that the minister is responsible for will be compiled in early January. ”
Yu Jin followed closely and said: "The part that the minister is responsible for is roughly not bad. ”
I nodded, and when I looked up, the snow outside the hall was getting heavier and heavier, and by the time I was gone, it was already getting dark.
"It's snowing heavily today, and the road is not easy to walk, so go back early, I won't leave you to eat."
The two of them looked happy, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Although the two of them are more familiar here, after all, it is not their own official office, and they are still uncomfortable.
After the two of them left, I didn't go back to the west side hall, so I sat on the ground casually in the main hall, which was full of textbooks.
Looking at the textbooks in his hand, he corrected and marked some mistakes for them, and before they knew it, half an hour had passed.
"What time is it?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it's time to come, and I think it's time for Li Xiang and the three of them to arrive."
As soon as the words fell, Meng He walked in: "Your Majesty, Feng Xiang and Imperial Doctor are here." ”
I looked up, the official offices of the three people were very close, why were only two of them here?
When Meng He saw me looking up, he immediately continued: "Li Xiang occasionally felt a cold, and someone sent a report. ”
I took Li Si's recital, and it was a matter of leave.
Putting the report aside: "Let the two of them in." Rare book, send someone to inform the queen. ”
"Yes!"
In a moment, Feng Zheng and Yu He hurriedly walked in.
"See Your Majesty!"
Seeing me sitting on the ground casually, Yu He's face was a little serious, and just as he wanted to speak, Feng Zai had already seen his expression and said first: "Your Majesty, the snow outside here is fluttering, this year must be a good year!" The hall is like a warm spring in March, and the whole body is comfortable! ”
I laughed and beckoned, and Feng Zheng immediately bowed down and sat on the exquisite carpet from the Western Regions, and the maid had already brought two backs.
Yu He sat down as soon as he saw that Feng Zheng didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and he didn't want to mention the etiquette again, so he could only salute helplessly and sit on the ground.
I looked at Feng Zai and teased: "In that case, why don't you come here to deal with official business, just to be a companion for Yu Jin and Uncle Sun Tong." ”
"Uh......" Feng Zai smiled embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, you don't dare to disturb Your Majesty......"
I smiled and got down to business.
"I called you here today to tell you something." I looked at Yu He and warned, "I have made up my mind, and I don't need to persuade again." ”
Yu He was stunned, he didn't have a chance to speak today......
"Wait and listen."
I told the two of them in detail about the trip to the Western Regions, and finally said: "I was supposed to ask Li Xiang to come with me, but Li Xiang occasionally felt cold, so I just turned around and let Shanben go." ”
Yu He finally listened to me, and he couldn't hold back his impatience, so he quickly got up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”
Then there are a bunch of words like the king must not leave the capital without permission, and the high-ranking people do not leave the public, etc., which makes me have a lawsuit.
I'm angry and funny, people like Yu He can't live without, but sometimes it's really angry!
After finally listening to his ramblings, I said lightly: "Finished?" ”
Yu He's face did not change, and he said solemnly: "If Your Majesty changes his mind, the minister's words will be finished, if he insists on going his own way, the minister still has something to say!" ”
My face is getting harder to look at, and I'm kicking my nose in the face, right?
Feng Zai saw that the atmosphere was gradually anxious, and hurriedly said to Yu He: "Imperial Doctor, today Great Qin is stable inside and outside, Your Majesty has 10,000 musketeers and 10,000 cavalry accompanying him on his westward journey, not to mention, there are also General Meng Tian and 30,000 Qin troops in the Western Regions, the power of the musketeers Imperial Doctor should be understood, and His Majesty is safe!" Besides, what His Majesty said is also a necessary move to completely subdue the hearts of the people in the Western Regions! ”
Yu He frowned and said, "Feng Xiang, why can't you even ......?"
I waved my hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't say anything, I will speak before I come, and this matter has been decided!" I just asked you to come and order to stay in Xianyang! I originally wanted to take Li Xiang alone, but Li Xiang is old and sick, Feng Zheng, you can go with me. ”
Feng Zheng was overjoyed, almost jumped up happily, and finally didn't have to stay in Xianyang!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Immediately, I didn't allow Yu He to say anything, I waved my hand and said, "Go ahead, I'm tired." ”
Yu He could only reluctantly go out with Feng Zheng.
Out of the palace gate, Yu He said dissatisfiedly while putting on a big hat: "Feng Xiang, how can you come from Your Majesty like this today!" ”
Feng Zao was startled when he heard this, his body shook and almost fell to the ground, and he said with a calm face: "Doctor Yushi, be cautious!" Although you are a few years older than Feng, I can forgive Feng for being blunt and remind you that His Majesty has been on the throne for eleven years! ”
He left without looking back.
Yu He was stunned for a long time before leaving, but his steps were a little vain, and he didn't know if the ground was wet and slippery with snow or ......
