Chapter 65 Meng Yi goes north
When Li Si sat down again, he had regained his usual composure and calmness.
After calming down, Li Si quickly thought of Hu Hai's intentions, but so what? If Li Si was given a chance to choose again, Li Si would also agree to Hu Hai without hesitation, not only because this was his inner demon, but also because he also
conceited.
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when happy events occur. Li Si, who has solved his inner demons for decades, seems to be much younger. His tall and thin body seems to be full of vitality, and a smile appears on his gloomy face.
"Did your Majesty see Ji'er when he returned to the palace today?" Li Si asked with a smile.
Jealousy? Hu Hai was immediately confused when he heard Li Si's words.
Li Ji, the youngest woman of Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, was also Li Si's favorite daughter. After Li Si became the prime minister, the first emperor rewarded Li Si for his hard work and merit. Li Si's three sons married princesses of the Qin Dynasty, and the eldest son married
She is the eldest daughter of the First Emperor, the eldest princess of the Qin Dynasty.
The second son and the third son also married the daughter of the First Emperor, a princess of the Qin Dynasty. Most of the First Emperor's sons also married Li Si's daughters, which shows the greatness of Li Si's holy family.
As the youngest and most favored son of the First Emperor, Hu Hai was also appointed by the First Emperor to be Li Si's youngest and most favored daughter, Li Yan, as his wife. After Hu Hai came of age, the two were married according to the decree.
Although Li Ji is Li Si's favorite daughter, and she is as beautiful as a flower, she is not pampered at all. She is a virtuous, kind, and gentle person. It can only be said that Li Si's family education is still very successful, and all of her children are talented.
A man of excellent virtues. It is a pity that Hu Hai's predecessor did not like Li Ji.
Li Si has always had a cold attitude toward his most beloved daughter marrying Hu Hai, because Li Si believed that Hu Hai was not a good prince, and even if he promoted him to the throne, it was mostly for his own power.
But at this moment, Li Si suddenly thought that marrying his youngest daughter to Hu Hai was perhaps the most correct decision in his life. So after his long-cherished wish came true, Prime Minister Li happily asked about his little daughter's situation.
Seeing Hu Hai in a daze, Li Si's smile did not change and he said: "It turns out that Your Majesty has not seen Ju'er yet. Two days ago when Ju'er returned home, he complained that the old minister should not let His Majesty be flogged. He was worried about Your Majesty. We haven't seen him today.
I must be jealous that I don't know that His Majesty has returned to the palace."
Wei Liao couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard Li Si's words. This shameless old man just got his wish and immediately regarded himself as the emperor's father-in-law. Why didn't I see you mention it before? He is really shameless.
Li Si seemed not to notice Wei Liao's rolling eyes, but still smiled with a contented look, as if to say, if you are capable, you should have a daughter and marry the emperor.
Wei Liao seemed to understand Li Si's meaning and gave him another hateful look.
After hearing Li Si's words, Hu Hai suddenly understood.
After a long relationship, you, this old guy, are you still my brother-in-law? Damn it, what’s the matter? Why has no one ever told me that this old guy is my father-in-law?
Hu Hai didn't know what to say for a while and was a little confused.
At this moment, Long Jiao came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Meng Tian and Meng Yi want to see you."
When he heard that the Meng brothers were coming, Hu Hai quickly said: "Please invite the two dear friends to come in quickly." These two brothers came at the right time.
When Li Si heard that Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers were coming, a look of uneasiness suddenly flashed on his face, and he immediately shut up and stopped talking. Although Hu Hai was puzzled, he was also happy. Only Wei Liao glanced at Li Si with a half-smile, and started to
Become contented.
There are too many disputes between Li Si and the Meng brothers, and in the final analysis, Li Si did something unethical. This is something that everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knows today. It was okay before, and all the important officials of the dynasty were there when they met.
Hu Hai is the protagonist again.
Now there were only three people in the main hall, and they were finally facing each other face to face. Li Si couldn't help but feel embarrassed and ashamed.
But he couldn't just leave. The emperor had just handed over the administrative affairs to him, and when it came to the important matter of Julu, he was about to give up his job. I guess he could pack up and get out later.
Among the heroes of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian was the first to make friends with the First Emperor when he was a boy, and his relationship was the deepest. With his unique talent and magnanimous mind, Meng Tian introduced Wang Jian to the King of Qin, introduced Li Si, recommended Wang Ben, and guaranteed
Zheng Guo.
This is Meng Tian’s biggest strength that is most easily overlooked by others - he has upright conduct, does not strive for credit, does not take credit, does not take power, and does not exceed his authority. He has the deepest foundation and extremely upright conduct, and makes great achievements without any arrogance. It is precisely because of this that Meng Tian
It can be said that he is the most popular minister in the Qin Dynasty.
Li Si and Meng Tian had a close friendship and were both students of Xunzi. Li Si was expelled from Qin by Ying Zheng because of the Lu Buwei incident. It was Meng Tian who was willing to take a big risk and deliver Li Si's world-famous "Remonstrance and Expulsion Book" to the desk of the First Emperor;
After his senior brother Han Fei entered the Qin Dynasty, Li Si was strongly challenged by Han Fei. It was Meng Tian who supported Li Si in front of the First Emperor and refuted Han Fei, his senior brother. Without Meng Tian's support, Li Si did not dare to accept Yao Jia's suggestion.
Zi executed Han Fei in Yunyang Prison;
Li Si is the prime minister, and Meng Tian's younger brother Meng Yi is the chief historian of the First Emperor's study. He is in charge of the confidential affairs of the first emperor's study. He is the chief historian of Li Si. Without Meng Tian's relationship, Meng Yi would not always work together with Li Si;
There were also two copper-tubed wolf-hair brushes that Meng Tian refined in Jiuyuan. There were only two of them. One was presented to the First Emperor by Meng Tian, and the other was given to Li Si, but he kept none of them;
Meng Tian's deep affection for Li Si can be seen from this. It can be said that without Meng Tian, there would be no Li Si today.
However, at the moment of the death of the First Emperor, Li Si finally gave up his decades-long brotherhood with Meng Tian and chose to cooperate with Zhao Gao to force Fusu to death and frame Meng Tian for his surging desire to control the world.
The brothers were imprisoned, and their actions completely exposed the dark side of Li Si's heart.
Now Hu Hai, who seemed like two people before, has released the Meng Tian brothers again. From now on, the two will be ministers of the same court. How can Li Si not be embarrassed?
"I pay homage to Your Majesty!" The Meng brothers came in and prostrated themselves on the ground.
"You two beloved ministers, there is no need to be polite, please get back on your feet quickly!" Hu Hai raised his hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the Meng brothers thanked them, they greeted Li Si and Wei Liao respectively. However, Hu Hai immediately understood that there must be a gap between the Meng brothers and Li Si. The two men smiled and bowed politely to Wei Liao.
, but he smiled reluctantly towards Li Si and bowed hastily.
Hu Hai was too lazy to comment on the disagreement between Li Si and the Meng brothers. The disagreement was also good for him, as long as he didn't delay his own affairs.
"The two beloved ministers must already know about Julu. Although according to the Prime Minister, Julu should not have been captured by Li Zuoche's rebels, but now it is too late for the court to send troops, so the matter of Julu will be discussed later. Today I think
Let’s talk about Jiuyuan.” Hu Hai paused for a moment, then continued after seeing that the four people below were listening attentively,
"I want Meng Aiqing to leave Xianyang today and rush to Jiuyuan to lead the Jiuyuan army to guard against the Xiongnu going south. What do you think, Meng Aiqing?"
"I obey the decree!" Meng Yi bowed and said.
"Meng Aiqing, when you go to Jiuyuan, you should rely on the Great Wall and the natural moat for defense. As long as the Xiongnu army cannot go south, Aiqing will make an immortal contribution to our great Qin. However, if the Xiongnu is too powerful to resist, then Aiqing
When you lead the troops decisively into Shangjun from Xiaoguan (this Xiaoguan is located to the north of Huan County in Qingyang, Gansu, and Xiaoguan in the Western Han Dynasty is located southeast of Guyuan, Ningxia), I must not make any mistakes."
When Meng Yi heard Hu Hai's words, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the ministers who are in Jiuyuan are here, and all the ministers who are missing in Jiuyuan will perish!"
"Nonsense!" Hu Hai suddenly changed his color and shouted.
This sound startled the four people in the hall. No one had ever seen Hu Hai lose such a temper. Meng Yi hurriedly knelt down, and the other three people also knelt down at the same time and said: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Okay, okay, let's all get up." Hu Hai waved his hand, "Meng Aiqing should know that even if Jiuyuan is lost, I can fight back and make the Xiongnu pay a hundred times a thousand times the price. But if Aiqing loses,
Our great Qin Dynasty will lose a pillar of its ministers. Isn't it clear to my beloved that it's more important than the other?"
"Your Majesty!" Meng Yi and Meng Tian kneeled down at the same time and choked.
"My edict is that if Jiuyuan cannot be defended, Meng Yi must lead the army of Jiuyuan with all his strength and enter Shangjun from Xiaoguan. If the people are willing to follow, they can enter Shangjun together and wait for Jiuyuan for later planning."
Hu Hai said loudly.
"I obey your order!"
"I haven't finished speaking yet. If Meng Yi dares to resist and disobey the decree, and Meng Yi dies, I will blame the entire Meng clan! Do you understand, Aiqing?" Hu Hai said lightly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Meng Yi felt a chill in his heart and kowtowed.
"Then my dear, please set off immediately. If you encounter a hundred thousand soldiers on the road, you should ask them to rush to Xianyang as soon as possible." Hu Hai said.
"I obey your order!"
"Long Ba sent ten elite dead soldiers of the Dragon Guard to escort him along the way. When entering Jiuyuan, he needs to be guarded by Meng Aiqing's side to protect him. If Jiuyuan is lost and Meng Yi resists, the Long Guard can tie him up.
Xianyang."
"My slave obeys the order!"
