When Xun suddenly the princes of the Western Regions fell into shock by the Xianyang in the snow, the Emperor's Study in Xianyang Palace was as warm as spring. (Literature Museum) The jade ice and fire walls on both sides of the Emperor's Study were placed on the left and right sides of the Emperor's Study. (Literature Museum) Standing against the wall. Through the emerald green jade, you can see the red charcoal fire burning in the hollowed-out jade wall, and it is extremely wonderful on the top.
Every time he saw this wall of ice and fire, Hu Hai had to admire Zhao Gao for his ability in serving the waiters. Meng Tian just said casually, and Zhao Gao immediately created this wall of ice and fire to please the First Emperor.
Two people were drinking and drinking in the emperor's study.
Sitting on the top is naturally the current Emperor Hu Hai of the Qin Dynasty, and below is the Jiuyuan Gong Meng Tian who returned from Hexi.
Meng Tian had just returned to Xianyang for more than ten days. Meng Tian, who was supposed to arrive in Xianyang in August, suddenly fell ill on the way back from Hexi. He stayed in the bitter and cold place in the northwest for almost half a year, and was only fifty years old. He was not seriously ill and had been recuperating in Kuanghan City for nearly two months. Meng Tian suddenly felt a lot of trouble during the rebellion of the court.
Hu Hai just issued an order to strip all the Jiuyuan army in Meng Tian's hands. Meng Tian fell ill on the way back to Xianyang. It was a bit too coincidental, right? Many people suddenly understood that it was very likely that Jiuyuan Gong was not. I am so sick that I can't leave anymore. I'm afraid I'm expressing my dissatisfaction with the emperor in another way.
I have to say that there are indeed many people who think this way. Even the cabinet ministers Feng Quji and Li You both reminded Hu Hai several times and asked Hu Hai to send the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to rush to the Qinghan. The imperial physician personally rushed to Quhan to treat Meng Tian. On the one hand, if Meng Tian was really sick, would it be a sign of great grace? On the other hand, if Meng Tian pretended to be sick, when he heard that the imperial physician was about to send him to treat him. , naturally I can't pretend anymore. It's good to knock it secretly.
Hu Hai is more clear than everyone about whether Meng Tian is a real or a fake disease. Long Di, Long Zhou and Long Huang have been following Meng Tian. It is impossible to say what color of underwear Meng Tian is wearing, at least Meng Tian is really sick or Hu Hai is still very clear about the fake disease.
Meng Tian is really sick, and she is not very sick.
Just at this time, the three counties of Shangdang, Taiyuan and Julu were flooding and flooding were repeated. Hu Hai asked the Imperial Hospital to send two Imperial Doctors to the Khan, and then devoted all his energy to disaster relief.
Hu Hai did not mention it. The incident of Jiuyuan Gong not returning to illness gradually began to calm down in the court.
Today is Hu Hai, whom Meng Tian came to find. Including Hu Hai and Meng Tian have been more than half a year since the last meeting. Meng Tian returned to Xianyang. In addition to asking Wang Yan to send some of the treasured supplements in the palace, Hu Hai told him to rest in the mansion for a good rest. There was no other intention. After all, the imperial physician who should have gone to Guihan to treat Meng Tian had already returned to the original statement.
There was no one else in the study, just Hu Hai and Meng Tian.
Hu Hai looked at Meng Tian, whose pale and even straight back became a little hunched. However, he was wondering if he was too harsh on Meng Tian. Meng Tian looked at Hu Hai, who was full of fatigue, and felt a lot of feelings. .
Although I was far away from the storm to recuperate, I could not hide the big and small things that happened in the court. After all, Meng Yi is still the Minister of Personnel? Even if Meng Yi is not the Minister of Personnel, the power accumulated by the Meng family in the court over the past hundred years has been accumulated in the court. Meng Tian can still know what should be known, and Meng Tian knows much more than ordinary people.
The Battle of Bijia City Meng Tian was earlier than Hu Hai received the news. The reason why Su Jiao acted slowly was not only worried that his unauthorized dispatch of troops would make the court suspicious. In fact, part of the reason was that he was waiting for Meng Tian's order.
After more than 20 years of control of the Jiuyuan Army, Meng Tian's influence on the Jiuyuan Army far exceeded that of the ministers in the court and Hu Hai's evaluation of the Jiuyuan Army. It was large and small, born in the Montessori clan or promoted by Meng Tian's hand.
Generals at all levels, among the Jiuyuan Army, Meng Tian’s orders were strictly more useful than Hu Hai’s orders. Of course, except when the First Emperor was alive.
Hu Hai split the Jiuyuan Army, transferred Meng Tian and senior generals of the Jiuyuan Army like Xin Sheng Su Jiao, and promoted Meng Tian to control the Jiuyuan Army. Meng Tian knew what it was for. If Meng Tian was really
It is impossible to have no idea. The many generals of the Jiuyuan Army also knew in their hearts that they had even prepared to write a joint letter to ask Hu Hai to take back the order, especially when they learned that Meng Tian was going to be transferred from the position of commander of the Jiuyuan Army.
.
All these things were forcibly suppressed by Meng Tian. Meng Tian knew very well that the emperor gave him the first Duke of Qin, Meng Yi as the Minister of Personnel, Meng Li as the General of the Imperial Army, etc.
What is all for?
After all, the emperor still felt ashamed of the Montessori clan, or it was just a disguised exchange.
If you don’t know the current situation and continue to let a general of the Jiuyuan Army write a letter to the emperor, then the end of the journey to the Montessori clan or the Jiuyuan Army will only be a disaster.
The Great Qin is the Great Qin of the Ying clan. There is only one person who is loyal to everyone, that is the Emperor of the Great Qin.
Perhaps the emperor would give in temporarily for the stability of the Qin Dynasty, but when the emperor was ready or the time came, it would be inevitable to settle the accounts after the autumn. Meng Tian knew this, and the entire Meng family also knew this.
Today's Great Qin is no longer the Great Qin that the little emperor had just ascended the throne.
Therefore, Meng Tian obediently followed Hu Hai's arrangements and took the rewards he gave with peace of mind. He was not dissatisfied with being deprived of military power. Of course, Meng Tian had no other thoughts in his heart.
Turning himself into an outsider and quietly watching Hu Hai's actions, Meng Tian's last bit of loss and dissatisfaction gradually faded.
Delegating power to the cabinet, reforming the official system, reforming the administration of officials, reducing the taxes and exempting punishments, mobilizing large troops to participate in disaster relief, and even leaving Beijing in vain to the disaster area, etc. All kinds of actions show that the little emperor did not just to ensure his throne, more
But it is for the entire Qin Dynasty and the people of the world.
Meng Tian felt much more comfortable.
The only thing that made Meng Tian a little dissatisfied was that the emperor seemed to be too interested in expanding territory. It was okay to drive the Huns to the north, after all, the Huns had invaded the Qin Dynasty for hundreds of years, so they should have some actions; then secretly mobilized the army.
Why did we set up the wilderness in the northeast? After the Battle of Bijia City, we even directly dispatched 100,000 White Tiger Army to advance westward. Obviously, another war was about to happen after the beginning of spring.
What's the use of those wild places? The Qin Dynasty is now big enough, isn't it?
Of course, these things are not the main purpose of Meng Tian coming today. He came today to "retire himself", which means that Meng Tian came to ask for retiring.
