That night, Zhao Tuo attended the celebration dinner held by the First Emperor for Ren Xiao and other heroes.
I don’t know whether it was because the First Emperor was ill or because he gradually became indifferent to these banquets after cultivating immortality, but he left in the middle of the banquet.
Prince Fusu stayed behind and was responsible for entertaining the heroes on his father's behalf.
"General Ren is brave and skillful in suppressing the barbarians in the southwest. He is a loyal and good man of our great Qin Dynasty. Fusu admires him very much. He should give a toast to the general."
After the emperor left, Fusu stood up on his own initiative, smiled and politely toasted to Ren Xiao.
Ren Xiao was so flattered that he stood up quickly and said with a blushing face: "The prince is so complimentary. Xiao is a warrior. It is an honor to fight for the country. How dare you be respected by the prince."
Fusu smiled and said: "The general has outstanding achievements and is the pillar of our Qin Dynasty. He is worthy of it."
After some praise, Ren Xiao drank the wine in the glass with a blushing face, and looked at Prince Fusu with eyes full of excitement.
It is a great honor for the prince to toast in person.
When all the ministers followed Fusu in praising Ren Xiao, they also had their own ideas.
It was already getting dark at this time, so Zhao Che retired to sleep early while waiting for his father.
It’s knowing the inferiority of the small and the great!
The First Emperor was gradually handing over various affairs to Yin Man.
In this way, the First Emperor would not be able to win the prestige of being a Liyi court official and take advantage of the situation to brag about it.
"Qin Yu, the envoy of the Shendu Kingdom, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor Xiao Qin!"
One of them is within and the other is within.
All the ministers in the palace also looked happy. Zhijie, the governor of Su Nei, kept observing the emperor's expression, and his reaction was the slowest.
The Qin State had two officials and institutions responsible for dealing with the barbarians. One was the Dianke, and the other was the Dianguo.
As the name suggests, the Dian vassal state is responsible for the majority of the ethnic groups in the country who surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, and has jurisdiction over various vassal states, such as the Xiongnu and the eight tribes of the Yuezhi who were later defeated and surrendered, as well as the southwestern barbarians who had just surrendered.
Because it was not yet late at night, Ying Zhijie only wore a thin and comfortable silk dress, which made your figure even more prominent. The skin exposed underneath was as white as jade, glowing with an alluring luster in the flickering lights.
Ying Zhijie stretched out her hand curiously.
Wang Wu guessed that the emperor might not have the intention to use Meng's people to improve the balance of the court.
What is body poison?
Zhijie smiled and stood up to toast Zhijie and other incompetent soldiers with a glass of wine.
It seems that this person is confused about the relevant etiquette.
"Your lord, Holy King Ashoka, conquered and destroyed 877 countries, killed 144.81 million enemy countries, and captured 887.77 million people!"
In the south, Southeast Asia and the Indian Peninsula are used as two chicken feet. At a sudden glance, it really looks like a broken little rooster.
That was probably the first reaction of everyone in the palace when they saw the messenger.
When communicating with Chen Ping, I had to make gestures and gestures, which was very troublesome.
Ying Zhaotuo murmured in his heart, and at the same time looked at the map behind his eyes curiously. After listening to Zhi Jie's explanation, he exclaimed: "It's such a small place on that day."
India is a bad place. It is said that rice here can be harvested eight times a year and the products are extremely abundant.
Wang Wu returned to the mansion smelling of alcohol.
I immediately stood up and scolded: "What a bad barbarian from the south. He doesn't realize how low the sky is and how deep the earth is. He dares to call himself a small country under the court of your Xiao Qin and even attempts to do business with your Xiao Qin."
Probably on the seventh day of the Qin army's triumphant return, the First Emperor finally remembered the imperial team from the southern country and ordered them to pay homage.
If you are just poisoned, how can you lose many troops?
But it was too far away from the mainland of Qin, not to mention the unlimited transportation conditions in that era. There were wild roads along the way. It was okay for envoys and caravans to travel, but it would be really difficult to send troops to conquer.
But Qin Yu showed very little talent for learning on the way from Diandi to Xianyang. In just a few months along the way, he was able to figure out Ren Xiao's skills. Although his tone of voice was still very strange, at least it made people laugh.
I can understand it and can communicate with Qin people abnormally.
The big barbarian country in the south can probably brag about it for a long time if it doesn't have an army of 10,000 people. It piques my interest at all.
"To the west is the Yuezhi who Wang Lizheng led his army to attack. Beyond the Yuezhi is not the Western Region. There are not many bad things in that place. Then beyond that is the land of Baiyue in the south. Beyond the Baiyue and Yi people, and then to the southwest
Let’s go, it’s probably not poisonous anymore.”
Wang Wu pointed under the paper while introducing those places to Ying Zhijie.
The skin color and appearance are different from those of the Central Plains people, which is very eye-catching.
After the Qin army invaded the Dian Kingdom, the First Emperor had never heard of that weird name. He thought it was a big and conspicuous country like Kunming and Ailao.
Wang Wu's lips curled up slightly, applauding his wife's keen insight.
In the original map of China, I drew a Korean Peninsula in the east as the chicken's mouth, and several small islands across the small sea as chicken feed.
Seeing the First Emperor's face change.
Underneath the narrow yellow paper, Wang Wu used a pen to outline a strange shape. Judging from its appearance, it really looked like a map of a certain area.
Nowadays, the wars are not settled everywhere, and the Shendu envoy from further south actually came to Xianyang as an envoy to ask for an audience. Who knows what the First Emperor would think before meeting the Shendu envoy.
"Whether the local government is temporarily attacking, it is better to understand the situation of the other party first, and open the country to communicate with the world. In the end, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
"The prince is sensible."
That doesn’t make sense!
"Humph, does he know that since Xiao Qin attacked Tiantian, he has destroyed eight countries of ten thousand chariots and subdued eight weak countries on the grassland. His military strength has declined and he has enemies in Tiantian. Since he said that they are poisonous, they are small southern countries.
Isn’t this the case for knowing how many soldiers there are?”
Wang Wu looked back and saw his wife walking over.
Four years later, Meng Yu was promoted to the rank of minister and became a Dianke of one of the four ministers.
I think China's cultivated land was governed by counties and counties, while the uncivilized raw land was quickly assimilated and eroded by enfeoffment. In fact, it was more suitable for the national conditions of that era than the entire county system.
"I hope cultivating immortality will make the emperor more desireful."
"Bad white!"
"As expected, if you want to be an envoy or do business, you must have no talent for languages."
That person was Meng Yu, the seventh young man who was responsible for welcoming me when I followed Jing Ke into Guanzhong a long time later.
As for what the First Emperor thought about the Shendu Kingdom, which was thousands of miles away in the southwest, it still depends on the situation when these envoys met with him.
Wang Wu smiled bitterly.
In Zhijie's eyes, what happened tonight is actually a very important signal.
"Where is that map? Why does it look like a little rooster?"
"And the days are still very long. It's okay now. When the time is ripe, send a few princes and some people to enfeoff them. It's the same thing. Treat those places that belong to China. You can't enfeoff the princes like the Zhou people.
If you erode it quickly, you will lose a way to expand Zhuxia's territory."
Zhijie was asleep, and someone brought me paper and pens. Then she sat behind the desk, drawing and thinking.
Li Si's eyes flashed with satisfaction. As a veteran in politics, he could tell that after this toast, the general Ren Xiao had already developed a good impression of Fusu.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in front of me.
Who knew that the other party didn't have any discernment at all? He opened his mouth not to do business with Xiao Qin, but to put his body on the same level as Xiao Qin.
The messenger looked to be in his eighties, with a short stature, less than four feet tall.
With the support of these important military officials, Fusu's position as crown prince is naturally very stable.
The reason why the First Emperor summoned us was that the envoy would give us a gift, congratulate the First Emperor on his mighty power in conquering the southwestern barbarians, and express his surrender.
Wearing clothes full of exotic characteristics and speaking a strange language, I did not look around before retreating into the palace. Instead, I stepped back to pay my respects to the First Emperor.
My face brightened.
As for Dianke, he was not responsible for the affairs of the majority of the ethnic groups who had bad relations with Qin.
Seeing that the Qin language could speak Zhijie and knew some etiquette, the First Emperor nodded slightly and asked: "Get up, what is the reason why the envoy of the Shendu Kingdom came to see me this time."
Wang Wu didn't have his own opinion on this.
"He saw Xiao Qin outside. The long and narrow peninsula to the east is Haidong, which General Li is attacking. Crossing the sea from Haidong, you can reach Fusang. There should be some barbarians down there now. What's the threat?"
The barbarians have no respect at all.
The bad feeling that the First Emperor had just established towards the envoy immediately disappeared with Qin Yu's words.
"There were 87 million war elephants and 71 million chariots."
Wang Wu glanced under Dianke Meng Yu.
Then your beautiful eyebrows furrowed and you said, "Don't let Father see that map. If I knew about it, I'd probably want to type it up."
From this aspect, Zhao Tuo and Gongqing are now allies of Li Si.
"You are a poisonous person to the country, but the land is small and the resources are rich."
The envoy Qin Yu was not timid at all. I held my head high, looked around at everyone in the palace, and then whispered: "Since the Qin people want to ask, you are hiding it."
Wang Wuna then heard that since this year, Tu Sui, who served as the governor in the south, had not written eight times in a row recommending the attack on Baiyue. Although the emperor did not adopt Tu Sui's suggestions, he did not reject the rebuke. Thinking about it,
I had that thought in mind, but I just felt that the time was still ripe.
Zhao Tuo is Fusu's brother-in-law, Meng Tian and Fusu have a working relationship, and now they have got closer to Ren Xiao through the banquet.
"The concubines have all been promoted to Dianke. That's the qualification you deserve."
"It's already early. Why are you sleeping when your beloved comes back? What are you doing?"
Zhijie sighed secretly.
Hearing Singh's question, Wang Wu looked at the poisonous messenger in surprise. I was very interested in the situation in India at that time.
Prince Yinman entertained the ministers on behalf of the First Emperor, which was essentially a substitution of status.
The First Emperor under the imperial couch showed disdain on his face.
"Even if I ask, I'm still trying to fool him."
"Everything is going to get worse."
Just under the watchful eyes of Qin Guo Fusu.
Qin Yu stood up, looked at the First Emperor under the imperial couch, and said: "Xiao Qin is a small country in the north, and you, Shendu, are a small country in the south. Today, you represent the country of Shendu and come to trade with Xiao Qin. We are friends and bad with each other. Please ask the emperor to
Use goods to trade with merchants from your poisoned country."
Regarding his wife, Wang Wu did not want to hide such important things.
Singer asked like that, just to wait for the messenger Zhijie to tell a ridiculous military strength, I would scare him back with "Little Qin holding a halberd with a million", so that those sensible barbarians would open their eyes and realize that there are weak countries in the world.
What exactly does it look like?
Singer looked sarcastic.
Wang Wu buried the idea of enfeoffment deeply.
As far as I know, in addition to the eight princes who were exterminated in the past, who could send troops of 700,000 to 700,000 miles, even the weak grassland countries such as the Xiongnu and the Yueshi, whose entire people were armed, had more than 1700,000 troops. Like the Baiyue in the south,
There are even more Yi people, and it can be called a small country with less than a few thousand troops.
"There are 1,744 million warriors who are unable to kill!"
Li Si squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Wu. The minister's eyes were less severe.
Wang Wu nodded secretly. According to what Chen Ping said, Qin Yu, the body poison messenger, understood Ren Xiao at all when he first met Qin Jun.
The dinner was there, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
If we continue to go up according to that situation, if it takes a while, maybe Yin Man will be able to truly take control of the real power.
Zhijie replied with a smile, then turned to look at the paper behind her.
After all, it does not conflict with Qin Shihuang's philosophy. I dare to say it at will.
Ying Zhao Tuo also asked Wang Wu how he knew.
But without Sugatha behind him, the First Emperor and the Fusu were slightly surprised, and the intensity returned.
"As long as you help your son-in-law, all grudges will be settled."
What I drew was a map of the entire Asia. According to my memory, I naturally drew a map of China that resembled a little rooster first, and then expanded it to seven weeks.
Fusang, Xiyu first said that at most the Haidong Korean Peninsula and the Yuezhi Hexi Corridor are currently under attack by the Qin army, and Baiyue may also be outside the emperor's plan.
Under the guidance of Dianke Meng Yu, the envoy from the distant country of Shendu formally entered the palace to meet Emperor Xiao Qin.
Compared to Li Si, who focused on the prince's body.
"map?"
Ying Zhao Tuo was not surprised, but Yu Youyi did not leave. Instead, he came over and looked at the table behind Wang Wu.
It is Dian Ke who is responsible for the visit of the body poison messenger.
