The front hall of the chapter platform.

This was the first great court meeting after the Great Qin ended the war.

The development effect of the year was remarkable, and the population and annual income of Daqin increased greatly, but because of the investment in road construction, commerce, education, etc., the grain in Taicang did not increase much.

The ruler hill also came to pay homage, but only carried out some simple ceremonial procedures.

The day after the end of the court, the ruler came to me to bid farewell, and I naturally allowed it.

In the evening.

I was discussing the plan for the new year with Li Si and others in the back hall of Zhangtai, when Yingjiang suddenly hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, the Kushan mission outside the city is in chaos!"

I looked up, frowned, and said, "What do you mean it's messed up?" ”

"Just now, there was a sudden shout of killing in the embassy camp outside the city, and news came from there that the mission suddenly clashed, and about a thousand people and another two thousand people fought!"

Everyone was shocked, and Zhang Han immediately got up: "Your Majesty, the minister sent troops to quell the rebellion!" ”

"There's no hurry." I waved my hand to stop him, and wondered: "This matter is quite strange, Qiqiu told me that these people are all Guishan's soldiers, and they were sent by the King of Guishan to protect his safety, how could there be sudden infighting?" ”

Feng Zheng frowned and thought for a while: "Your Majesty, although I don't know why, but their camp is outside the city, and there is no strong wall in the new city to block it, for the sake of Your Majesty's safety, it is better to transfer troops to surround them first." ”

Li Si and Yu He agreed: "The ministers seconded it! ”

I thought about it for a while and ordered: "Yingjiang, you immediately mobilize the Xianyang City Guards to surround them, Meng He, tell Li Jie to guard Shanglin Yuan and Zhangtai Palace!" Rare book, summon ruler hill! ”

"Yes!"

I looked at the four of them, "What do you guys think?" ”

The four of them looked at each other, and they didn't have a clue for a while.

"Guishuang shouldn't be stupid enough to mess with Great Qin with three thousand people, right? And the 3,000 people also started infighting, and the ministers ...... I don't understand. ”

I nodded: "Wait for the ruler hill." ”

The Great Qin Post House is not far from Zhangtai Palace, and the ruler hill has not yet arrived, but Yingjiang has turned back.

"Your Majesty! Something happened, and Qiqiu was intercepted and killed as soon as he left the post house, and now he is surrounded by more than 30 people in the post house! ”

"What?" I immediately got up and said in a deep voice, "Are you okay?" ”

If Qiqiu dies in Xianyang, Daqin is afraid that he will have to restart the war again!

"It's okay for the time being, the minister has already sent people to the rescue, but the city defense of Xianyang City is limited, so the manpower of the besieging mission outside the city is a little insufficient."

Zhang Han immediately arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, transfer the northern and southern armies!" ”

I frowned and thought for a moment, still not understanding what it was.

"Meng He, bring three thousand northern and southern troops with the tiger talisman!"

"Yes!"

"Yingjiang, you immediately go to relieve the siege of the post house, the new city has a moat and an arrow tower, and you are not afraid of those rebels!"

"Yes!"

————

At that time, Yingjiang took the ruler mound into the palace.

After meeting him, Qiqiu immediately bowed and said with a crying voice: "Thank you Emperor Daqin for help!" If there is no Great Qin Emperor, I'm afraid my life will be left here! ”

I comforted, "Is Prince Chigaoka okay?" Sit down. ”

Everyone sat down, and I said in a deep voice: "Prince, what is the matter with your mission that has rebelled outside the city, and you have been intercepted and killed by unknown people?" ”

Chigaoka sighed heavily: "I don't know, it stands to reason that those guards are the most loyal soldiers of Guishan, how could there be a rebellion all of a sudden?" Could it be my brother......"

Then he arched his hand and said: "Please forgive Emperor Daqin, I didn't expect my arrival to bring so much trouble to Daqin!" ”

Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, I waved my hand and said lightly: "It's nothing, although Xianyang has no city walls, it is not something that can be broken by just 3,000 people." ”

If it was really his brother's plan, I didn't bother to ask about it, and it was just those bad things.

A trace of imperceptible joy crossed the bottom of Qi Qiu's eyes, and he spoke again: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, has the rebellion been quelled?" ”

"It has been calmed down, but your mission is almost completely wiped out, and I am afraid that I will have to leave Xianyang tomorrow with my generals, otherwise if there is another rebellion, the prince's life will be in danger."

Qiqiu got up and saluted again: "In this way, I have thanked Emperor Daqin!" ”

I nodded: "Since you don't know, go back and rest." The rebels will send someone to escort you back tomorrow, and you will have to settle your own business. ”

"Thank you Emperor Daqin again!"

After Qiqiu left, I looked at Li Si: "Ordered Meng Yi to investigate this matter thoroughly, the living rebels can let him take it away, and the body will remain in Xianyang." ”

Li Si said slowly, "Your Majesty suspects that this rebellion is a play by them?" ”

I sneered: "If it is finally found out that it is not acting, I will lose a pound of fine tea to each of you!" ”

The four of them glanced at each other: "Your Majesty Xie!" ”

I smiled: "Go, I will send the ruler away tomorrow, I will not see him again, everything will be done according to my instructions." Zhang Han stayed. ”

"Wait for the resignation!"

Zhang Han said respectfully: "Your Majesty? ”

I tapped lightly on the table: "Wang Jin seems to have an extraordinary relationship with Qiqiu?" ”

Zhang Han frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The ministers listened to Wang Jin's mouth and praised Qiqiu, and General Meng also said that Wang Jin and Qiqiu can talk very well. ”

I said lightly: "Soldier, the country's major affairs, I hope Wang Jin will not forget his identity." Tomorrow Wang Jin and Qiqiu will leave Xianyang together, tonight's matter is definitely not so simple, I don't want to see any more extraneous branches on the road. ”

Zhang Han's expression was grim, and he said respectfully: "The minister understands! ”

————

Chigaoka hurried back to the post house, where four people were waiting.

"How? Emperor Daqin didn't have any suspicions, right? ”

Qiqiu smiled and said: "There shouldn't be, it just said that we should leave Xianyang with his general tomorrow and escort the rebels back to Guishan." ”

Mo Sun sneered: "Da Qin is nothing more than that. ”

Chiqiu smiled and didn't reply: "How is it?" ”

Gabe took out all kinds of small notes, looked at them, and concluded: "Xianyang should have three armies, one is to guard the palace, even if there is a rebellion outside the palace, they will not leave the palace; The second branch is subordinate to their Xianyang Order, which has more than 2,000 people, and is mainly responsible for the maintenance of order in the entire Xianyang; The third is the northern and southern army stationed in the north of the city, which is the main force guarding Xianyang, and there are 3,000 people in the rebellion tonight alone, and I estimate that the entire northern and southern army is at least not less than 20,000! ”

Qiqiu nodded: "It seems that the Great Qin Emperor's so-called Great Qin with a million armor is not a lie, Xianyang City alone has an army of nearly 30,000 people, and the spies heard that there are more than a dozen legions in Great Qin, such as the Chaoyi Army, the Bashu Army, the Lingnan Army, the Ganquan Army, and the Western Regions Army, among which the most mysterious is the Ganquan Army, no one knows the specific location, number, and equipment. ”
