37 Chapter 37

The Confucian masters have taught the word "Gong Gao Zhenzhu", and Hehua understands it, but understanding this word does not mean that she can understand Wang Ben's behavior of pretending to be sick - why! Father is not the kind of narrow-minded emperor, why should he pretend to be sick in front of his father?!

When the Confucian princes enlightened her, they would inevitably talk about the history of the Six Kingdoms and their own country, such as Gou Jian and Fan Li, such as her wife and grandfather's Zhaoxiang King and Bai Qi, to remind her that the monarch did not have a few good things, so that those who had great achievements in war would have a rare good death in the end.

It is definitely not right for King Zhaoxiang to kill Bai Qi, and she will not find any reason for her wife and grandfather, but the problem is that there are many kings of Qin, and there is only one person who kills heroes, and he can't think that the kings of Qin in the past dynasties and even her father are also this kind of person because he killed the heroes, which is a prejudice against his father!

Her father wasn't that kind of person!

Hehua lifted the curtain hanging from the sedan chair, and helped Hanshu's hand to get out of the carriage, and the people of the small temple knew her thoughts and carried her in the direction of Wang Ben.

The further he went, the more dusty he became, and the Marquis of Tongwu, who was on the rise, obviously did not pay attention to her in the woods, or it didn't hurt to notice it, he was not dressed luxuriously, he was only dressed as an ordinary person, if it wasn't for someone who was very familiar with him, he thought that the rich family in the neighborhood was riding horses, instead of linking him to the father and son who joined forces to destroy the Five Kingdoms and is now too sick to get up with the Tongwu Marquis.

Of course, at this time, there will be no one who is very familiar with him, the three princes are married, and the courtiers and clans all go to attend the weddings of the sons, who will go all the way to Xianyang City to watch strangers ride horses and whips in this remote grove?

That's why he chose this time, chose this place, and released his nature here, he is the general Wang Zhi who loves the fierce horse very much, not the Marquis of Tongwu who is sick and coughing up blood in the wind.

- But he can obviously be a high-spirited general in front of his father!

"General!"

Hehua called out loudly.

The cheerful man on the horse paused slightly. Like a little beast being choked by the back of fate's neck, he stiffened and turned to look at the place where the voice came.

In the half-human-high grass, the temple man dressed as a slave and maid held a small milk ball carved in pink and jade, the small milk ball was puffing, and even two little hands were hugged, even if she didn't open her mouth, she could let people know that she was very angry at this time.

Behind Xiao Tuanzi, there was a carriage parked, the carriage was not luxurious, and there were not many attendants around, but those people were obviously practitioners, all of them had eyes as sharp as eagles, and they were masters who could ride a thousand.

The man at the head pressed the sword in his left hand, raised his right hand slightly, and the attendants of the car understood, and the carriage clicked, and the starlight came down like a bath, shining on the veil that hung down from the carriage as thin as the wings of a cicada, gold and silver

The auspicious cloud patterns embroidered by the threads shone brightly, like the clouds of the nine heavens, and they were lightly gathered in front of the man.

Oh, it's Your Majesty.

The truth is obvious, His Majesty the First Emperor, who has no one before or since, has long known that he is pretending to be sick, and he also knows that for a person who fights on the battlefield, war horses are an inseparable part of himself, so if he has something to do, give him a few good horses to see how long he can endure.

The patience he cultivated on the battlefield of licking blood from the knife edge was vividly shown in this matter, no matter how much he liked horses, he did not dare to sneak to walk the horses, but chose to lead his henchmen to ride horses in the remote grove far away from Xianyang City on the day of the sons' wedding.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have itchy hands to ride a horse!

Hobbies are nothing compared to the life of the family—— Wu Anjun is white, but he is looking at him in the sky, this Tongwu Marquis who also brings martial arts!

Wang Ben tugged at the corners of his mouth. The fierce horse roared in the sky, and its front hooves flew into the air and its hind hooves hit the ground, startling a cloud of dust.

"What disease do you have?"

My favorite father was misunderstood like this, Hehua was angry, and the tone of the little milk voice was high, regardless of whether the other party understood it or not, but the slimy long sentence had already been said, "I was so sick last night that I needed someone to help me to walk, and I can tame the fierce horse here tonight, your family doctor is so powerful, and he can have the power to bring the dead back to life!"

"Why doesn't such a powerful medical officer introduce my father?" So that my father can be as healthy as you!"

In the yellow sand, Hehua couldn't see Wang Ben's face clearly, only to see the man looking at her sideways, his figure hidden in the yellow sand, his expression was obscure.

The sound of the galloping horse came to an abrupt end. In the middle of nowhere, all that remains is the sound of fiery horses snorting.

"Uh, princess, the medical officer in the courtier's mansion doesn't have that much magical power." Now, there is no point in continuing to conceal it, Wang Ben smiled awkwardly, "It's the minister, uh, the minister is not sick."

How embarrassed are you to admit that you are not sick so calmly!

Wang Ben was too arrogant, so righteous that he was not guilty of defrauding the king, but hiding a very small thing from Yingzheng, this kind of light-hearted attitude made Hehua choked, shocked that it was the general who survived the battle to destroy the country, and his adaptability was amazing.

"Then why are you pretending to be sick?"

Hehua was angry, "Father is unavailable, but you are lazy here, you are right."

Father?"

Wang Ben turned over and dismounted, handed the reins in his hand to the attendant, and said with his head like garlic, "The minister is sorry for Your Majesty, and the minister is ashamed of Your Majesty."

"But, as for why you're pretending to be sick—"

The man's voice paused slightly, and he spread his hands, "This kind of reason that anyone with a discerning eye can see, the princess will not ask the ministers again." "You-"

Hehua was choked, "You are simply unworthy of being a general!" Father is not such a narrow-minded person, you don't have to be like that!"

Wang Ben's eyes glanced at Ying Zheng in the carriage, and quickly retracted his gaze, "Isn't this scared?" Princess, Wu Anjun's example is right in front of you, how can the minister not be frightened?"

Wang Ben pushed aside the haystack and walked in front of Hehua.

The little milk dumplings in the arms of the temple people were still angry, their cheeks were bulging with anger, and they looked very cute, Wang Ben reached out to hug the little dumplings, and the little dumplings twisted their faces to the side, "I don't want you to hug them!"

"You lied to Father, I hate you!"

"The minister just wants to protect himself."

Wang Ben sighed, "The minister doesn't want to do this, the minister-"

"If you don't want to, why do you do it again?" Hehua interrupted Wang Ben's words, "Tongwu Hou, you hurt Father's heart too much!"

"Father is so good to you, you even suspect that Father will be jealous of you and will let you end up with Wu Anjun, you are poking a knife in Father's heart!"

The most beloved father was misunderstood by the person who trusted him the most, Hehua was angry, even if her speech would not be clear when she spoke for a large time, but she still opened her mouth with a small milk voice, "Father is father, he is the greatest emperor in the world, he will not do anything to kill heroes unjustly!"

Wang Benjian's eyebrows moved slightly.

How did he not know that his Emperor Majesty was an unprecedented emperor, and how did he not know his heart and pride?

But the way of the monarch and the minister is the most difficult truth in the world, too close is trespassing, too far is rebellion, he and his father walked on this path like thin ice, day and night without sleeping.

Since ancient times, how many people can die well? It's not that he doesn't believe in His Majesty, it's not that he doesn't believe that His Majesty will be immutable, and that he will always be clear and wise.

King Zhaoxiang, who committed suicide in vain, was also a generation of heroes when he was young, but as he grew older, the emperor's suspicion and suspicion occupied his ambition

Zhi's heart, so there was a later Bai Qi helpless to kill himself.

At this time, His Majesty is a genius, but ten years later, twenty years later? He didn't dare to risk the lives of his nine clans to gamble on a future that he was uncertain about.

The only thing he can be sure of is that as long as he is safe and does not pose any threat to His Majesty, then his people will be able to successfully avoid the emperor's reckoning and continue to gallop in glory in the future frontier court.

"It is a minister who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Wang Ben chuckled, "Your Majesty is not this kind of person, it's the minister's thoughts."

Wang Ben lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt very happily, "The minister deceived His Majesty, told a big lie, and did his duty for the minister." "Therefore, the minister asks Your Majesty to allow the minister to return to his hometown——"

"Tongwu Hou, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Listening to Wang Zhi's words, the more outrageous it became, Meng Yi's face changed slightly, and Yu Guang quickly glanced at Yingzheng who was sitting behind the curtain, the man's silhouette loomed in the auspicious cloud patterns outlined by the gold and silver threads, and a pair of eyes were like ink, Meng Yi's eyelids jumped fiercely, and immediately interrupted Wang Ben's words, "You are only a few years older than my eldest brother, where is it to the point where you need to return to your hometown?"

"Although Your Majesty sits on the world of Kyushu, there are Xiongnu in the north, Baiyue in the south, Rongdi in the west, and sea disasters in the east, all of which are eyeing the Great Qin rivers and mountains."

"As a courtier, how can you not share your worries for Your Majesty?"

"Right now, Your Majesty is employing people, you and my courtiers should do your best to wipe out all the enemies who can threaten Great Qin, instead of pushing back like you and not getting sick!"

Wang Ben's fingers tightened slightly.

"I've never been strong."

Behind the sedan curtain, the voice of winning the government and not distinguishing between joy and anger sounded, "Since the Marquis of Tongwu wants to tell the old man to return to his hometown, I will allow him to be, why stop him?" Little Eleven, let's go home. "Win the political road,

"Hmph, I'll never pay attention to you anymore!"

Hehua snorted heavily at Wang Ben, like an angry little milk cat, fierce and fierce, "And Wang Li, I won't pay attention to him!"

- Bad guy, still misunderstanding her father!

"Ignore you anymore!"

"You're excessive!"

Wang Ben's eyelids narrowed slightly, and his breathing was a little heavy, "The minister has disappointed the princess."

"Tongwu Hou, you are simply confused

!"

Meng Yi hates that iron does not become steel.

But no matter what everyone said, the fierce generals of the past were unmoved, the man knelt on the grass, and slowly bowed to Yingzheng on the carriage, as if as long as his forehead was on the grass, the peerless warriors who joined forces to destroy the Five Kingdoms fell to the ground like a trend, and there was no news since.

- He wants to dismiss his official and return to his hometown, not a general who will lead the army again.

The guards looked away.

Since ancient times, famous generals have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world.

But there is also a kind of famous general, he gave up his great achievements, gave up the territory he had fought nine times and his life, and gave up the emperor he swore allegiance to, just for a good death and a shelter for the people to reproduce.

This is even more unacceptable than an invincible general dying on the battlefield and being given death by an unscrupulous king. Hehua was carried to the sedan chair by the temple people.

Just through the gauze curtain, she couldn't see Ying Zheng's face, but now face to face, she was held in Ying Zheng's arms, and she found out that her father was not without joy and anger when he spoke, her father looked at his henchman from afar, and his eyes were deep and deep.

Hehua suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Father is a human being, not without puppets of joy and sorrow, he will also be sad, he will also be angry, he will be misunderstood by his henchmen, and he will rather return to his hometown than do things for him again, he should be angry and unwilling, or be furious like other tyrants, coldly ask Wang Ben why, and then when he can't get the answer he wants, he will send this general who has made great achievements for Great Qin to the point of no return.

But he didn't.

He has not and will not be able to restrain his emotions, he is the emperor in charge of the world, he is always light, not sad or happy, absolutely rational and absolutely calm, not allowing himself to make any mistakes, even in the face of the betrayal and abandonment of his confidants.

- His imperial majesty does not allow him to anger his generals who have won many battles.

&nbs

p; Hehua's eyes turned red.

She suddenly regretted that she had just spoken a little harshly to Wang Ben.

If he spoke softly and didn't make the princess lose his temper with him, would he not be like this? Instead, he will once again order the three armies for his father and level the surrounding country? And Father won't let go like this, so that a general who has set foot on the Five Kingdoms will return to the countryside?

"Tongwu Hou, I shouldn't have talked to you like that."

Almost without any hesitation, Hehua lifted the sedan curtain, "Wu Anjun's example is in front, your worries are justified, but, but Father is really not that kind of person, Father is not!"

Wang Ben's eyelids lifted slightly.

> Hehua doesn't understand, why does the world always misunderstand his father?

The people of the palace temple misunderstood, the remnants of the six countries misunderstood, and even the henchmen of the father's beloved generals misunderstood the father, thinking that the father was domineering and cruel, and he would definitely follow the old path of his wife and grandfather in the future?

But Father won't! Father is such a proud man, he would never do such a thing!

Hehua looked at Wang Ben, who bowed down, "You misunderstood Father, and even more underestimated Father." Father will not be afraid of heroes, clean up the generals, Father disdains to do that kind of thing!" The world's Kyushu is held in the hands of my father, let alone you?

Wang Ben's brows moved slightly.

- This is indeed the character of His Majesty.

Extremely proud, but also extremely conceited.

He is sure that all things in the world should bow down to him, and he is sure that he is the master of heaven, earth, man, ghosts and gods, he is above all, and he is the first emperor of the three emperors and five emperors.

So, is he wrong? Is my father overly worried? The exploits and glory of the Wang family's generations of generals will not be interrupted, but will continue to be carried forward in the hands of him and his son Wang Li?

Wang Ben was silent for a moment.

Hehua did not wait for Wang Zhi's answer. Or, the former peerless warrior has made up his mind, and nothing she says will be exchanged for his answer.

Hehua opened her mouth and wanted to say something more, but Yingzheng behind her patted her little brain, signaling that she didn't have to speak anymore.

The sedan curtain was lowered.

Hehua flattened his mouth, so aggrieved that he wanted to cry. - She is not worth it for her father!

But the emperor didn't care much about it.

Holding the aggrieved little ball in his arms, the emperor who was always calm and always rational spoke slowly, Now that I have returned to the countryside, those good horses I gave to the Marquis of Tongwu will not be needed if you want to come to the Marquis of Tongwu.

Wang Ben's eyelids jumped fiercely, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

- He vaguely remembered the last time His Majesty spoke to him in such an unclear tone, it was Li Xin who was defeated and returned from defeat, and His Majesty asked his father to lead his troops to defeat the old enemy Chu State.

Of course, I sit on the four seas and will not covet the few good horses I have sent out. His Majesty the Emperor's voice is leisurely, So even if the Marquis of Tongwu can't use it, I won't take it back, and I don't have to make others laugh at me.

Wang Ben slowly raised his head, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger

。 - Coming, coming, His Majesty, whom he was familiar with, came with a belly of bad water that he was familiar with.

His Majesty the Emperor, who has a bad stomach, is lazy to raise his eyebrows, I will give those good horses to the Marquis of Tongwu thoroughly.

Wang Ben felt uneasy for a moment.

He raised his head and went to look at the emperor on the sedan chair, but through the gauze curtain, he couldn't see the emperor's face clearly, only saw the emperor holding the little ball that was uneven for him, his fingers playing with the little ball of the little ball, teasing the little ball while talking to him casually.

Wang Ben panicked instantly. - No reaction is the most terrible reaction!

Wang Ben immediately spoke, Dare to ask Your Majesty, in which way to completely give the good horse to his subordinates?

Tomorrow, the Marquis of Tongwu will know.

Xiao Tuanzi loves beauty, and he doesn't like Ying Zheng to mess up his little troubles, so Ying Zheng lazily withdrew his hand, and didn't care much about it, Meng Yi, I'm tired, go back to Shanglin Yuan.

Here. Meng Yi responded, raised his hand and waved, and the attendants around him hugged the sedan chair and walked towards the forest garden.

Wang Ben spoke, "Your Majesty—"

- You made it clear!

Meng Yi passed by Wang Ben's side, stretched out his hand and patted the man's shoulder, Tongwu Hou, with my understanding of Your Majesty, Tongwu Hou will have a meal tomorrow.

Congratulations to the Marquis of Tongwu!

Congratulations to the Marquis of Wu!

Meng Yi's guards spoke out in unison.

..

·

Congratulations on the hammer! Those are his eyeballs, how can the horse he holds in the palm of his hand be made into a big meal and delivered to his house by His Majesty?!

Wang Ben couldn't breathe.

On a good day, Wang Ben's pretending to be sick was broken, and the other party was not only not ashamed, but also confidently told the old man to return to his hometown, Hehua was angry and aggrieved, lying listless in Yingzheng's arms.

"Father, don't be sad, he is gone, and there are descendants."

Hehua sniffed and organized the language, "The teacher said, Zhang Han is a very powerful general, and when he recovers from his injuries and grows up a little more, he will be able to lead the troops for his father."

Also, there is Han Shin. Han Xin, who was said by a strange woman, is about to arrive in Xianyang, and he is also very powerful.

Hehua raised his head from Ying Zheng's arms, his fingers clutching the placket of his clothes

, "Father will have a lot of very powerful people, more powerful than Tongwu Hou." So, so Father doesn't have to be sad.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, Little Eleven, do you know why Wang Ben insisted on returning to his hometown?

Because of his high merits, he is afraid that his father will be jealous of him, and then end up with the same fate as Wu Anjun. Tsuru Road.

The great-grandfather unjustly killed Wu Anjun, which chilled the hearts of the generals in the world. Win Zhengdao, With such a lesson from the past, it is not surprising that Wang Ben resigned in order to protect himself.

But Little Eleven, I won't resent him for this.

"As the lord of the world, you can't make the generals completely surrender, it's not that the generals are disloyal, but that the lord of the world is not enough to threaten the four seas, and Kyushu is in the heart.

"If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, what you need to consider is not whether there is someone to replace this person, but how to make this person bow down again and not disagree.

Ying Zheng smiled lightly, and his voice was not in a hurry, "Because if you can't even surrender to such a general, how can you talk about surrendering the world? Conquer the four seas?

Hehua didn't understand it very well, but he seemed to understand it again.

Father broke Wang Ben's claim that he was sick today, not only to let Wang Ben lead the troops again, but also to teach her one thing - as a ruler, if she does not have the vision and means to look at the overall situation, then it is only a matter of time before others turn their backs.

But Father doesn't seem to be worried about this. He's confident, and he's in control.

General, Your Majesty sent someone to deliver food.

In this Great Qin, who has been called the Marquis of Tongwu since Wang Ben was named Marquis Wuhou, the attendants in the palace still call Wang Zhi as a general, do you want to taste it?

What dish?

When Wang Li heard that Ying Zheng had sent someone to deliver food, he instantly threw away the chopsticks in his hand, jumped up from his seat, and trotted to find the attendant carrying the food box at the door, "Tell me to take a look!"

Wang Li opened the food box, the tempting fragrance filled the room, Wang Li's eyes lit up, This must have been tried by the little princess! She thought it was delicious, so she sent it over!

His Majesty never pays attention to the appetite, if it is rewarded by His Majesty, he sent it from Shanglin Yuan, the taste of semi-cold and not hot is not as delicious as the kitchen on their house, only the little princess who loves to eat snacks and loves to eat vegetables, only has a pair of eyes to discover food, and will think of him after discovering it, which makes people special

Send it to him!

Father, come and taste it, this meat smells so good! Wang Li brought out the plate and happily held it to the king on the throne.

Wang Ben stared at the meat that Wang Li brought up, like a mourner.

?

Didn't my grandmother die last year?

Wang Li was confused, Father, what is wrong with you?

"Nothing."

The little temple man who delivered the meat was still standing in the room, and Wang Ben made a difficult voice and looked away from the meat.

It's nothing, the look on your face just now scared me to death. Wang Li sent a sip of tea to his mouth, suppressing the shock, This meat is already a little cold, if you put it again, the taste will be much worse than before.

The attendant graciously handed over the chopsticks.

Wang Li picked up a piece of meat and put it on Wang Ben's plate, Father, do you taste it?

Wang Ben's face was as pale as frost.

But Wang Li, as his son, didn't pay any attention to his subtle movements, the smell of meat was fragrant, and Wang Li couldn't help but ask the little temple man who gave meat, What kind of meat is this? Why is it so fragrant?

"It's horse meat."

The little temple man who came to deliver the food smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, Your Majesty said, if you like to eat, Your Majesty will order someone to bring a plate in the evening.

The chopsticks in Wang Li's hand snapped and fell into the plate. - Eating horse meat in front of his father, he was afraid that he did not want to see the horse that had been slaughtered under his earth.

Horse meat...... Wang Li smiled awkwardly and silently retracted his hand, What, I'm full.

"Don't."

The little temple man smiled, This is just the first dish, there is more to come, if you are full at this time, you can't eat the next few dishes?

The small temple people raised their hands and waved, and the palace mermaids rushed in, and one after another delicacies were placed in front of Wang Ben's father and son.

"Burnt Horse Liver _'

Stewed horse meat –

"Roasted horse's leg—"

The temple people shouted the name of the dish in a sharp voice.

Wang Li swallowed his saliva and quietly shifted his position to distance himself from his father. - To tell you the truth, he was afraid that his father, who loved horses like his life, would suddenly go crazy.

/> Wang Ben's face was expressionless. The king's rebuke is like stopping water. Wang Ben is calm - the waves are quiet, a ghost!

Wang Ben kicked over the food case, Shi can be killed but not humiliated, His Majesty deceived people too much!

Alas, Marquis Tongwu, what are you doing here?

The people of the small temple were so frightened that the flowers and branches trembled, and the orchid fingers were trembling, "You are no longer a general, what do you care if Your Majesty eats horse meat or not?"

"Besides, Your Majesty is rich all over the world, eat a few horses-"

"Shut up!" Wang Ben can't bear it anymore, prepare the horse, I want to see Your Majesty!

The author has something to say:

Wang Ben: You are ruthless! You are cold! You are vexatious! You actually eat horse meat! Horses are so cute!! Win Zheng: The general can't even tell the difference between horse meat and ordinary game? Wang Ben: ????

Ying Zheng: The general loves horses like his life, how can I be willing to kill horses?

Wang Zhi: I suddenly understood why my father had to lead the army for this man even if he was sick and dying
