Early the next morning, the morning meeting.

As soon as the killing of Ding Chuan was revealed, everyone was immediately angry!

Most of the people, led by Zhang Han, advocated sending troops to Kunlun to completely eliminate the threat of the Yaqiangs.

Yu He and the others still opposed sending troops, but Li Si and Feng Zheng were still there, but they just sat and didn't speak.

After everyone quieted down, I didn't rush to talk about the Yaqiang people, and said slowly: "Meng Xingyuan." ”

Meng Xingyuan shouted that the excitement of the war was still there, and he immediately got up and said respectfully: "Minister Meng Xingyuan is here!" ”

"Meng Xingyuan, are you guilty?"

"Huh?" Meng Xingyuan looked confused, but in an instant he came back to his senses and realized his gaffe, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, ...... minister"

I didn't say a reason for a long time.

I said lightly: "It seems that you are not guilty. I ask you, how much does Great Qin have troops? How many soldiers are good at fighting in each battalion, how many are the weak soldiers, and how should you solve those weak soldiers who are eating empty wages? ”

Meng Xingyuan was a little sweaty, and said tremblingly: "Back to Your Majesty, the Great Qin army has a total of thirteen battalions and more than 400,000 people, and they are good at fighting...... This one...... Empty salary...... The minister doesn't seem to have noticed such a thing......"

Seeing that his preface did not match the afterword, I said in a deep voice: "As a captain of the Protector Army, you don't even know this, and you still don't know the crime?" ”

Meng Xingyuan hurriedly bent over, and said with a sad face: "The minister is guilty, please ask Your Majesty to surrender!" ”

I snorted, "Go back and continue to be your arsenal order!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty forgive ......"

Zhang Han's expression was a little subtle, and the others also saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and shrunk their necks for fear of calling themselves.

"Meng Yi!"

Meng Yi got up immediately when he was named, but there was no trace of panic, and he said calmly: "Chen Meng Yi is here!" ”

"You take over the position of the commander of the guard, Yang Chi moves to the court lieutenant, and after settling down the affairs of Xianyang, he immediately goes to Hexi with a festival to thoroughly investigate the killing of Dada and Ding Chuan!"

"Obey orders!"

Meng Yi is an upright person, vicious and hateful, there has never been a sign of abusing power for personal gain during his tenure as Tingwei, and the Captain of the Protector Army also exercises the right of supervision, if this trip to Hexi brings back a satisfactory result for me, this person can be reused.

With that, I got up and left.

————

On the way back, I said lightly: "What do you think of Yu He?" ”

After about two breaths, Zhao Shanben's voice sounded, and he said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to say anything." ”

I frowned: "If you say it, you can say it." ”

"Yes...... The minister thought that the-for-tat confrontation between the Imperial Doctor and the Imperial Captain this time might just be that the Imperial Historian was too upright, and it was not inappropriate for the Imperial Lieutenant to speak for his generals, but it was always for the sake of His Majesty......"

I stopped and looked back at him, "You've disappointed me so much. ”

Zhao Shanben hurriedly leaned down and said in fear: "What the minister said is what the minister thinks in his heart, don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

I paced to the pedestal, and as far as the eye could see, the scenery of Zhangtai Palace was in full view.

"Do you think Yu He intends to be in Zhang Han?"

Zhao Shanben hesitated: "The minister is stupid, isn't it......"

I smiled and said lightly: "The captain holds the military power, and Yu He has not yet dared to touch the military power!" He's a drunkard, and he doesn't mean to drink. ”

"Your Majesty, please clear your mind."

I sneered: "Although the Imperial Doctor is one of the three princes, compared to the prime minister, the power in his hands is worlds apart. Taiwei is a pivotal but restricted official position, if you were Yu He, would you seek the position of prime minister, or would you intend to be the position of Taiwei? ”

Zhao Shanben seemed to understand a little: "Your Majesty is saying that the Imperial Doctor is targeting the Taiwei on the surface, but in fact, he is targeting ...... Left Prime Minister? ”

"It's not stupid." I looked into the distance: "The previous case of the wrong delivery of the male calf was Yu He's small action against Li Si, at that time he should have been the right prime minister, but I just lightly exposed the matter, and took the opportunity to beat him, and when the queen was pregnant, he knew that Li Si was definitely not something he could plan." ”

My eyes narrowed slightly: "So he turned his target to Feng Zai, but although Feng Zai behaved debauched, he never went wrong in major matters, and the most important thing is that Feng Zao is in charge of the Xindi Prefectures, and Yu He has almost no chance to attack Feng Zao." This time something happened in Hexi, Yu He must have wanted to take the opportunity to burn the fire on Feng Zheng. ”

Zhao Shanben hesitated: "But Imperial Doctor didn't expect that the Imperial Captain's reaction to this matter would be so great, and Imperial Doctor had almost no chance to cause trouble." ”

I smiled: "Yes." Zhang Han hit the right side and disrupted Yu He's plan. He disappointed me so much that he didn't even figure out the joints and rashly quarreled with Yu He, blocking the gun for others in vain. ”

Zhao Shanben stole a glance at my expression, and said cautiously: "Feichen is biased, and it seems that it is not inappropriate for the Taiwei to speak for his generals......"

I turned around and glanced at him, Zhao Shanben was born rich and noble, and he was quite capable of doing things, but he was all under my orders, and I didn't pay attention to his ability to do things alone before, but now it seems that he is still too tender.

"The power struggle is a life-and-death struggle, don't say it's your own subordinate officials, it's not surprising that you kill your father and kill the king, don't you hear about the martial spirit king?"

Zhao Shan's body trembled, and he bowed his head and said, "The minister understands......"

"I hope you really understand, you are by my side and I will protect you, but sooner or later you will have to be alone, if you can't even understand these undercurrents, I am worried about you."

Zhao Shanben bowed and said solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Remember! ”

I suddenly smiled and teased, "I don't mean to let you kill the king and seek the country. ”

Zhao Shanben was stunned for a moment, and then said eagerly: "Your Majesty, the minister will not dare to have this thought!" ”

I smiled, people's hearts are changeable, and no one knows what will happen in the future.

Turning around and walking towards the hall: "Go and get the newspaper." ”

Meng He followed into the hall.

"Your Majesty, yesterday, after the Imperial Doctor and the Imperial Lieutenant went back, they closed the door to thank the guests, and all matters were temporarily handled by the Imperial Historian and the Captain of the Protectors. Feng Xiang left the palace and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Li Xiang, just to discuss the inventory of the acres of land, everyone was there, and then left the history of the governance of Su Nei and the general Shaofu, and the four of them discussed some details, and there was nothing abnormal. ”

I closed my eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "What did the four of them say?" ”

"The main thing is that Li Xiang and Feng Xiang talked, Feng Xiang proposed that although there is a lot of land reclaimed in the new land, it will lead to a sharp increase in foreign races, which is not good for the country, and it is necessary to find a way to suppress it. Li Xiang said that it was not yet time, there was no excuse now, and he still needed to figure it out slowly, as long as he kept an eye on those who had prestige among the aliens, he could defeat them in one fell swoop and subdue the aliens when the time was ripe. ”

"Lift the grounding of Yu He and Zhang Han, you can go."

"The minister retired."

I shook my head, I didn't understand why Yu He was so anxious, the rising generations of Great Qin were either not talented people, or they hadn't grown up yet. After Li Si's death, there is a high probability that the position of prime minister will be selected from these people, and Yu He will have a chance.

Previously, he first offended Li Si, but now he has not only offended Zhang Han, judging from the dialogue between Li Si and Feng Zai, Feng Zai obviously realized the danger and forced the two together......
