Chapter One Hundred and Five

"Father asked General Meng and his eldest brother to stay in Xianyang?"

Hehua suddenly felt bad.

It's not that she doesn't trust Meng Tian and her eldest brother, but the shadow left before is too tragic, so when she heard that the two of them cooperated with the prison country, she couldn't help but think of the ending of the two in the parallel world.

In parallel time and space, Meng Tian was stationed in the north to build a straight road, the eldest brother was sent to supervise the army, and the emperor sent the heir to experience in the frontier, so that the bitter cold of the border pass could grind his temperament, which was a good arrangement, but on the contrary, the eldest brother's younger brother was Hu Hai, and there was a temple man named Zhao Gao, plus Li Si, who was coerced and seduced, the three joined forces, the eldest brother killed himself, and Meng Tian was poisoned.

For this tragic change, historians have different opinions for thousands of years, some people say that the eldest brother has long lost the emperor's heart because of political disagreement with his father, let him go to northern Xinjiang, saying that the good thing is to supervise the army, and to say that the bad point is to distribute it, so after Hu Hai's edict arrived, he would kill himself without saying a word, so that Meng Tian, who wanted to stop him behind him, couldn't stop him.

There is also a saying that the eldest brother is foolish and loyal and filial, and he has not inherited his father's decisive imperial political literacy at all.

- The king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die, and his father has issued an edict to let him die, what else does he have to struggle?

The two arguments have been arguing for thousands of years, and no one can convince anyone.

Until now, the suicide of the eldest brother is still a hot topic on the Internet, as long as someone discusses it, it can be hot on the forum in an instant.

Meng Tian, as his father's confidant, has a very thorough understanding of his father's thoughts, and after the edict was overpowered, he strongly persuaded the eldest brother not to commit suicide, and sent someone to his father's side to inquire about the news before making plans, after all, his younger brother Meng Yi is the henchman of his father's henchmen, if his father really wants the eldest brother to commit suicide, Meng Yi cannot not get the news.

But the northern frontier is thousands of miles away from the sand dunes, and at this time Meng Yi has not yet turned back because of the blessing on behalf of his father, after the death of his father, Meng Yi was imprisoned by the people sent by Hu Hai, and the reason for the death is very simple, saying that his father has the intention of setting him up, and it is Meng Yi who dissuades him in every possible way, so that his father dispelled the idea of making him the heir.

How bad is such an excuse? Of course, Meng Yi wouldn't believe it.

During his captivity, Meng Yi wrote countless letters, saying that his father was not an emperor who changed his mind after a few sentences, that he was the emperor's confidant, and that if the emperor insisted on establishing a prince, he could only obey and never dissuade him, not to mention that he had never participated in the establishment of a prince, and asked Hu Hai not to listen to the words of traitors.

Meng Yi's folds are sincere, but this kind of fold can't reach Hu Hai's hands at all.

Or, even if it is placed in front of Hu Hai, Hu Hai will not look at it, he wants the death of the Montessori brothers, not to keep them as an eyesore.

So Meng Yi died, dying of being poisoned.

Meng Yi was first imprisoned, then poisoned, and completely cut off contact with the outside world, Meng Tian couldn't get news of Meng Yi for a long time, but the edicts from Hu Hai were one after another, the general unloaded his armor and handed over the military power, and wrote one letter after another to express his feelings, but the frenzied Hu Hai didn't look at it at all, and sent a bag of poison to the peerless warrior to go to the western sky.

Both brothers died of poison, and they were poisoned even by the history books.

- How could they get poison while in captivity? How could he put poison in his own food?

It was Hu Hai who poisoned them, but he also blamed them for committing suicide.

Several generations of loyal ministers and good generals of Qin, the pillars of consolidation with one article and one martial arts, died in the hands of the faint monarch and ministers.

And the death of the eldest brother and the Montessori brothers also completely opened the prelude to Hu Hai's self-destruction and slaughter of Zhongliang, swept the six-in-one Daqin, and sent the last country of the Warring States to an end in the fourth year of the destruction of the Six Kingdoms.

How heavy is this kind of history, so that when Hehua heard that Meng Tian and Fusu cooperated to supervise the country, she had the illusion that something was wrong, not that she felt that the two of them repeated the tragedy of the usual time and space again, but that the result of the cooperation between the two was too tragic, so her first reaction when she learned the news was to think of that history.

"What does the princess think?"

Seeing Hehua's hesitation, Meng Tian's brows moved slightly, and he slowly spoke.

Hehua's gaze swirled back and forth between Meng Tian and Fusu, "Uh, it's nothing. ”

"Eleven, your thoughts are all written on your face, so why hide it from everyone?"

Fusu shook his head and chuckled.

Meng Tian bowed, "Yes, what is the princess worried about?" Let's be outspoken. ”

"It's not that I'm worried, but I'm reminded of some old things."

If this topic is hastily revealed, it will only make Meng Tian and Fusu more and more confused, Hehua thought about it, and said, "In those old things, the eldest brother and General Meng Da also worked together. ”

Speaking of which, there is no need to say any further, everyone is not stupid, an old thing, and looking at the hesitation on Hehua's face, it is easy for people to guess that the ending of the two working together is not good.

Fusu's face changed slightly.

Meng Tian raised his eyebrows.

Meng Yi's brows furrowed slightly.

Ying Zheng took in everyone's reactions.

"Father, can someone else come to the country?"

Without hesitating for too long, Fusu surrendered his hand to Yingzheng to play.

Meng Tian then spoke, "Your Majesty thinks twice. ”

"Supervising the country is a major matter of the country, and it is not allowed to be careless, Your Majesty still made adjustments earlier, and did not choose the ministers and the eldest son."

"Old things are old things, and you are you."

Ying Zheng was noncommittal, "Could it be that for some illusory old things, the most suitable person should be overthrown?" ”

As an emperor who had read history books, he certainly knew what happened to Great Qin in parallel time and space.

He died violently during the parade, Zhao Gaomi did not mourn, changed his edict, killed his eldest son, although his eldest son was behind the general Meng Tian and hundreds of thousands of troops, but when the edict of death arrived in the northern Xinjiang, the eldest son who he had high hopes for still chose to commit suicide, and his confidant Meng Tian was also poisoned in the near future.

This result was no less than a blow to him, which made him calm for half an hour before he came to his senses, and then his first reaction was that he was still merciful - Zhao Gaohuhai died too easily, he should keep their names, let them live for a long time, and suffer for a long time.

As for Li Si, who was coerced and lured by them and had to join them, he said that if he didn't get angry, he wouldn't be angry, he was a generous emperor, an emperor who wouldn't turn over old accounts, so he just let Li Si sit in the position of the court lieutenant for more than ten years, and when he canonized the eleventh amnesty for the crown princess, he promoted Li Si and made him a left prime minister, and the original left prime minister Feng Qujian became the right prime minister.

If there was no thing in the middle, he would have promoted Li Si to prime minister a few years ago.

Li Si's talent is far above Feng Quji, and he is the best candidate for the right minister, but if something like this happens, he is extremely generous if he did not destroy the nine clans of Li Si, so how could he promote Li Si to the right minister?

"I've made up my mind, so there's no need to discuss it anymore."

Ying Zheng was categorical, "Fu Su supervised the country, assisted by Meng Tian, and ordered the second princess and the son Gao Gongzi to discuss politics together." ”

"Whoa."

Fusu sighed.

- Father is still so arbitrary, and he can't listen to his opinions and suggestions.

Looking up at Hehua, the girl had no reaction on her face, as if she had long been accustomed to the emperor's dictatorship and was not surprised by the emperor's domineering.

Not only is it not strange, but he even feels that this is the true character of the emperor, he is determined and resolute, and he will not change his decision-making because of the words of others.

Fusu was slightly stunned, looking thoughtful.

Eleven is not used to her father's temper, but she is the same as her father's temperament, when she encounters this kind of thing, she will not hesitate to make the same decision as her father, so she will not dissuade her father like him, but sincerely feel that her father is right.

That's fine.

Only such an eleven will become the heir to be ordained by the father.

Fusu smiled.

As for Eleven's worries and voices, just leave it to him.

He is no longer the noble son he talked about more than ten years ago, and he will never let the tragedy of another world play out in his world.

After deciding on the candidates for the prison state, the rest is to start preparing for the sacrifice of the temple and arranging the sealing of Mount Tai.

At this time, the winter moon is the first of the year, before the winter moon, the officials who rank more than 1,000 stone will arrive in Xianyang one after another, one is to congratulate the emperor on his work, the second is to congratulate the canonization of the imperial princess, and the third is to sacrifice the temple and seal Mount Tai.

As the confidant of the emperor's confidant, the general Wang Ben knew the news earlier than Hehua about the canonization of the imperial concubine, and the general of the temple and the Taishan of Zen was indispensable to the general, and the general who fought for the horse quickly incorporated the European lands into the territory, leaving the officials who were specially sent to govern the European lands, and rushed back to Xianyang in the starry night, and finally arrived in Xianyang City the night before the sacrifice of the temple.

From ordinary soldiers to generals at the pinnacle of generals, ordinary people do not finish this journey in their lifetimes, but for Wang Ben, who has the exploits of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, it is only three or five years for Wang Ben to be reinstated, and the original seized mansion was also given by Yingzheng again, and the door plaque is written by the emperor himself, and the majestic seal shows the majesty of the general's mansion, and the Zhumen is also repainted, and he welcomes his old master with joy.

Wang Ben looked up at the door plaque and strode into the mansion.

Well, it looks no different than it used to be.

- The only difference is that everything in the house was emptied and exchanged for silver money to build a general road from Xianyang to Taishan.

Okay, the general's road is the general's road.

In this way, future generations will not only remember his military exploits, but also remember that he spent all his family wealth to build roads.

Wang Ben didn't care too much, and went back to his room to freshen up and change clothes.

After changing his clothes, he still didn't see his eldest son, looked up at the attendant who was standing cautiously, and asked casually, "Where is Li'er?" ”

The attendant looked up at Wang Ben's face, and quickly retracted his gaze, "The young general has been resting in the palace for the past few days and has never returned. ”

“......”

The child is too big to stay.

Wang Ben put down the teacup and was very disgusted.

The next moment, the attendant who was waiting outside the second gate trotted all the way-

"General, General Meng is visiting with Meng Shangqing."

"General, adjutant general Su Jiao is visiting."

"General—"

Wang Ben felt comfortable.

The son is gone, and when he pursued his wife, he also left his father behind all day long, and it is not surprising that Li'er is like him in this kind of thing.

But compared with his father, he is still lucky, at least, there is a group of Guanzhong sons and daughters to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him.

Wang Ben smiled, got up and instructed the attendants, "Set up a banquet." ”

·

"Tomorrow is the day of the sacrifice to the temple, hasn't your father come back yet?"

While talking to Tai Shiling about tomorrow's etiquette, Hehua asked Wang Li, who was the sub-festival of tomorrow.

Wang Li was dressed in a ceremonial dress and holding a jade gui in his hand, showing the demeanor of the nobles in Guanzhong, "You should go back, right?" ”

"If you don't come back tonight, you won't be able to catch up with tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony."

“...... You didn't send anyone home to see? ”

Tsuru Road.

Wang Li patted his head, "I've been so busy these days, I forgot about it." ”

"You can get it for me first."

Wang Li put Yugui in Zhang Han's hand, "I'll let people go back to the house to take a look, my father should go back tonight." ”

Zhang Han took over Yugui.

After handing over Yugui, Wang Li ran out with his dress, and as soon as he walked out of the inner hall, he saw Lu Yan walking in from the outside.

"Major General, where are you going?"

Lu Yan asked strangely.

Wang Li said, "Let people go back to the house and take a look." ”

"Oh, you're asking the Admiral about it, right?"

Lu

He smiled, "You don't have to go, Meng Shangqing just sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the general has returned." ”

"Coming back?"

Wang was overjoyed, "Great! I can catch the sacrificial gift of Eleven! ”

·

"Daddy can't help it."

Meng Tian teased, "You can now understand the old general's mood at that time." ”

Wang Ben nodded, "Yes, I realized it." ”

"Things don't look like me, but things look like me."

"It's not easy."

Wang Ben shook his head and chuckled, raised his hand and drank the wine in the wine cup.

The attendant poured wine diligently.

Meng Yi accompanied one.

The attendant poured the wine again, and he shook his head to stop the attendant's pouring of wine.

"Tomorrow is a sacrificial ceremony, and you should not drink too much today."

Meng Yi glanced at the eldest brother and Wang Ben who were drinking happily, "You are the same." ”

Wang Ben sighed, "Yi'er is used to managing the princesses and sons, and even me and your eldest brother want to take care of it?" ”

"Yi'er is different from Li'er, he is born to worry about his life."

Meng Tian said with a smile.

"Well, it's indeed much calmer than Li'er."

Wang Benxing's eyes swirled back and forth on Meng Yi, "The age is also much older than Li'er, and it is long overdue to start a family." ”

Meng Tian's wine was a little too much to drink.

Who's to say it isn't?

But the problem is that his good brother thinks no, not only is it not, but he has no idea of starting a family at all, and others are already surrounded by wives and concubines and children at his age, but he is still alone, and there is no woman around him.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, so you don't have to force them."

Meng Yi smiled, not paying much attention.

Wang Ben laughed along.

Wang Ben has a pair of lightly picked peach blossom eyes, when his eyes are swirling back and forth on you, there is a light and romantic taste in it, not to mention that his peach blossom eyes have a deep meaning at this time, as if he deliberately ignited a fire on people, Meng Yi was a little uncomfortable by him, and frowned slightly.

"General?"

Meng Yi looked up at Wang Ben.

Wang Ben's eyes smiled even deeper, "Since you call me a general, you still remember what I taught you in Shanglin Yuan." ”

"In that case, the Admiral will ask you a question."

Meng Yi's eyelids raised slightly, "General, excuse me." ”

"In my lifetime, will the general be able to drink your wine?"

Wang Ben's eyes stared at Meng Yi, his eyes were full of ambiguity.

Meng Yi's movements paused slightly.

Meng Tian's eyelids jumped fiercely.

- Most likely not.

Regarding this issue, he asked Meng Yi more than once, and his good brother either avoided talking about it, or was able to push it, which once made him suspect that his good brother didn't like women and good Longyang.

But the problem is that the people of Daqin are open, and he is not a stubborn person, someone once sent a woman to Meng Yi and was rejected, so he moved his mind and sent a few handsome young men to his house, and the later result was that the young man was thrown out of the army by Meng Yi, and the person who gave the gift was degraded by Meng Yi again and again, and he has been going around in the bitter cold land so far.

doesn't like women, it's not Long Yang's good, and I'm afraid that his good brother's lifelong event will not be difficult to achieve for life.

Meng Tian let out a long sigh and took another sip of wine into his mouth.

- The eldest brother of the capital is like a father, but Yi'er insists on not getting married, and his eldest brother who is like a father is reluctant to come.

"That's a hard question to answer?"

Wang Ben's eyes flashed slightly, "Still not easy to answer?" ”

Meng Yi frowned, "It's not bad to answer, it's just that I don't know how to answer." ”

"Father and aunt love each other, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are in love, although the general's marriage is full of twists and turns, but in the end it must be consummated."

After pondering for a moment, Meng Yi slowly spoke, "When I see you like this, I also want to find a confidant to spend my life with." ”

Wang Ben was interested, "Your idea is good, but you can't find a happy relationship." ”

"I know it's hard to find, so I've delayed it so far."

Meng Yi was very open.

"I was born in the door, the official worships the king, and the glory and wealth are inexhaustible."

"Like me, how can I hastily determine my life for the eyes of others?"

Facing Wang Ben's probing gaze, Meng Yi's voice was firm and serious, "General, Meng Yi is unwilling to compromise." ”

"Just like the general who would rather resist and disobey the order back then, he also wants the princess who died in the country."

"Meng Yi, like the general, will only marry his beloved throughout his life."

·

"You're fooling around."

Hehua stretched out his hand and poked Wang Li's head, "Your father is back, you don't give him the wind and dust, what are you doing in the palace?" ”

Rehearsing the sacrificial ceremony is more tiring than going into battle to kill the enemy, Wang Li is not lightly tired, leaning on the pillow, his head swaying back and forth with the movement of Hehua's poke, "Hey, he needs me to catch him and wash the dust?" ”

"Wait, the moment he arrives in Xianyang City, countless people will get the news, and then they will pour into the house like snowflakes to give him a flattering salute and wash the dust."

"I don't like this kind of occasion, I don't go."

Wang Li raised his hand and took a fruit from the table, bit the fruit and said, "Tomorrow I am a sub-sacrifice, and I am a figure second only to you in importance, so I should stay in the palace to rehearse, so as not to cause any chaos tomorrow." ”

"Are you afraid of making a mess?"

Hehua didn't believe it.

Wang Li said, "Of course I'm afraid. ”

"It's much more terrifying than going to war, and I've never been so nervous when I went to war for the first time."

Wang Li ate the fruit in three or two bites, the maid handed over the handkerchief, he wiped his fingers and the corners of his mouth, sorted out his clothes and leaned in the direction of Hehua, "I tell you, what I'm afraid of is not that I will make trouble, what I am afraid of is that you will make trouble." ”

"Don't worry, I won't make a mess."

Hehua glanced at Wang Li, "Tomorrow is one of the most important moments in my life, how can I make a mess?" ”

Wang Li said, "Don't talk too much. ”

"It's been snowing for the past few days, and even if the weather clears tomorrow, I'm afraid the weather will be cold."

"If it's cold, it means that the ground will freeze and slip, if it's just icing, it's nothing, but tomorrow we're wearing dresses, which are thick, heavy and difficult, and walking on the frozen carpet in such clothes, are you sure you can walk steadily?"

Wang Li lifted the heavy dress on his body, looked up and asked Hehua, "Are you sure?" ”

“......”

There was really no way to guarantee it, but she was prepared.

Hehua smiled leisurely, "Do you think everyone is like you?" Well-developed limbs and simple-minded? ”

"Talk, talk, scold, what?"

Wang Li was a little dissatisfied, "I haven't said that you can't pick up your shoulders or lift them, but you dislike my reckless courage first." ”

Zhang Han walked in from outside the hall.

It was very cold outside, and the maid brought a small gilt stove.

"Thank you."

Zhang Han thanked him and went to the stove with a small stove to roast the fire.

With the cold air outside, he roasted the fire while leaving the king, "The young general doesn't have to worry, the princess has already made arrangements." ”

“？”

Wang Li was confused, "What did Eleven arrange?" ”

There was a dragon burning underneath, a stove was burning in the house, and a small stove was still in his hand, the cold on Zhang Han's body quickly dissipated, and then he walked from the direction of the stove to Hehua's position.

The hall is full of henchmen, Hehua did not sit on the main seat, but sat opposite to Wang Li from a small number, Zhang Han walked to the opposite side of Hehua, the maid moved a small scale, Zhang Han lifted his robe, and sat down opposite Hehua.

"The princess sent me to sprinkle salt on the steps early, and the snow melted when it met the salt, and the snow on the sacrificial steps had all dissipated, leaving only a little water stain on it."

Zhang Han said, "I left someone to guard there, and every once in a while I sprinkled salt again to clean it, and after only two or three hours, there was no water stain there." ”

Wang Li looked surprised, "Eleven, it's worthy of you, I even thought of this matter!" ”

"There is no water and no snow, and a thick blanket is spread on it, so that the princess can walk steadily."

Zhang Han looked up at Hehua, his usually slightly gloomy eyes reflected the light of the night pearl at this time, bright like the moonlight, "Tomorrow is a good day for the princess, and the princess will be able to go all the way smoothly and worship heaven and earth and the temple as the princess." ”

The eyes hidden in the moonlight are too gentle, hidden but also dazzling, facing such eyes, Hehua can't help but think of Zhang Han in another world.

That Zhang Han also looked at her like this, as if he was not looking at people, but at his unattainable white moonlight, which could not be met and touched.

Hehua's brows moved slightly.

For a moment, she suddenly became a little curious about herself in another world, about her choices and where she would be.

Did she choose the last person to bury herself?

Or do you choose to laugh and scold the people who accompany you all the way when you are young?

Or is it that what she thinks about is the person who is also a teacher and friend who will always keep a distance from her?

She wasn't clear about her options.

Although they are essentially the same person, with the same thinking and experience, the other she has more than 2,000 years of suffering and suffering than her, and there is a period of darkness where life is worse than death, and the other she is born with blood and bones, and she is reborn from the fire, so her thinking is very different from her.

Hehua hugged the pillow and answered Zhang Han's question, "Of course I will have a smooth journey." ”

"Neither before nor now."

"Of course, you are the heir chosen by His Majesty, and of course you will ascend to the high platform safe and sound!"

Wang Li and Rong Youyan.

"Promise your good words."

Hehua yawned, "Let's get here today, you have to get up early tomorrow, you go back to sleep quickly, don't be able to get up tomorrow." ”

The most difficult road, the other self has walked all for her.

Now she is standing on her shoulder looking at the four directions, and trying the world.

If possible, she wanted her to walk with her on this sacrificial road that led to the empress dowager.

- The position of the crown princess also has her share.

Wang Li and Zhang Han left the inner hall, Hehua freshened up and changed clothes, she was too tired in the past few days, she just lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

In the darkness, she saw the little sparks gathered together, and the sparks discovered her presence, slowly converging into the form of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

- Her life is fixed at this age, and as long as she does not rely on other people's bodies, she will always be fourteen or fifteen years old.

"You look a lot better than before, and you're already able to slowly transform."

Hehua walked towards the spark.

Starfire slowly bowed his head.

"I came to you today to tell you the good news, I have been canonized as the crown princess by my father, and tomorrow will be the day when I will participate in the sacrificial ceremony as the heir."

Hehua stretched out his hand to Xinghuo, "I want to invite you to go with me, sacrifice heaven and earth with me, and be crowned a princess." ”：，，.
