Hu Hai was silent after hearing Yang Ruihe's words.
He was now not sure whether someone had teamed up with Ziying to create a maze to confuse him into pretending to be missing, or whether Ziying had really been kidnapped. In his opinion, both possibilities were possible.
Ever since he traveled through time, he began to think that nothing in this world was impossible.
"Can the Lieutenant's Office now find out the whereabouts of the thief who kidnapped Ziying?"
Yang Ruihe knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to your Majesty, I have sent all the officials and soldiers in the agency to search for the whereabouts of Master Ziying near Xianyang, but there is no news yet."
"My dear friends, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Hu Hai threw this question to many ministers in the hall.
Meng Tian did not hesitate, nor did he care about Ying Teng who was pulling him around. He bowed and saluted Hu Hai and said: "Your Majesty, Young Master Ziying is the only bloodline of His Highness Fusu. I hope that Your Majesty will allow me to lead the troops to search for him."
Hu Hai did not comment, glanced at Meng Tian lightly, and stopped at Li Si.
As if feeling Hu Hai's eyes above the hall, Li Si, who had been keeping his eyes slightly closed, opened his eyes, glanced at Meng Tian across from him, and saluted Hu Hai: "Your Majesty, I think what Master Meng said is very inappropriate."
"Li Si, you old thief..."
As mentioned before, Meng Tian has always been on good terms with Li Si, but because Li Si turned a blind eye when the Meng brothers were detained by Zhao Gao and did not try to save them, and even deliberately added insult to injury to kill the Meng brothers, Meng Tian despised Li Si.
Even so, Meng Tian, who was always known for his good temper and good popularity, did not have any trouble with Li Si. But at this time, Li Si had completely broken up with Meng Tian.
No matter how good-tempered Meng Tian is, new and old grudges are flooding into his heart at the same time. He can no longer control the anger in his heart and can't help but burst into laughter.
"Meng Aiqing, please be patient. Let Li Aiqing finish speaking first!"
Meng Tian shouted loudly before he was interrupted by Hu Hai.
"I obey!" Although he was reluctant in his heart, Meng Tian still bowed and responded.
After Li Si heard Meng Tian's loud shout, he had no reaction, but there was a complex and inexplicable look in his slightly lowered eyes.
Li Si, who had always felt ashamed of Meng Tian, actually didn't want to completely break up with Meng Tian at this time, but he had to do so. The reason was that he knew that Hu Hai definitely did not want or want Meng Tian to intervene in Ziying's disappearance.
above this matter.
Li Si, who single-handedly supported Hu Hai's rise to power, knew better than anyone else the threat Ziying posed to Hu Hai. In fact, Zhao Gao had previously asked Li Si for permission to eradicate the problem, but Li Si refused.
The reason why Li Si rejected Zhao Gao's suggestion to eradicate the problem was because of Meng Tian.
The relationship between Fusu, Mengtian, and the Meng family was well known throughout the Qin Dynasty. At that time, Hu Hai was still a dim and incompetent Hu Hai, and Zhao Gao could not compete with Li Si. At that time, Li Si was even willing to completely fall out with Meng Tian.
Let alone this moment.
Li Si wanted Hu Hai to see clearly that no matter what, he would always be on his side in this court. He didn't want Hu Hai to always guard him like a thief. For this reason, he did not hesitate to let Meng Tian completely tear apart the relationship between the two sides in public.
The fragile peace that had always been maintained.
Similarly, he also wanted to use this opportunity to bargain with Hu Hai on Confucian issues.
"The current situation in the Qin Dynasty is in danger. With the arrival of the Jiuyuan Army, how can Sir Meng ignore the safety of our Great Qin over a trivial matter? To put it bluntly, the disappearance of Young Master Ziying will be handled by the officials of the Weiwei Mansion, the Lieutenant's Office and other places. Lord Meng Tian is like this
Isn’t this just abandoning the basics and pursuing the weak?”
Li Si also completely let go of the remaining worries in his heart at this moment. Since he has broken his face, he should break it more thoroughly.
Meng Tian was silent when he heard Li Si's words, but everyone could know the anger in his heart at this moment.
"Yang Aiqing, how many staff are there in the Lieutenant's Office?" After Li Si finished speaking, Hu Hai suddenly asked Yang Ruihe, who had been standing in the hall.
"Your Majesty, the Lieutenant's Office originally had about 5,000 officials and county soldiers at all levels, but now there are less than 1,000 people." Yang Ruihe replied.
"Oh? Why are there so few officials now?" Hu Hai asked in surprise.
Yang Ruihe was stunned by Hu Hai's question, hesitated and said: "This..."
"Old minister, please come back to Your Majesty on behalf of Mr. Yang." Wei Liao spoke at this time, "Except for the 20,000 palace guards, the rest of the 200,000 guards for your Majesty's eastward tour are from the Xianyang Weiwei Mansion and the Lieutenant's Office.
They were transferred from various camps in Shangjun, Hangu Pass, Wuguan and other places. Now they are all in the Bashang Camp."
What Wei Liao said made Hu Hai choke.
"I..." As soon as Hu Hai finished speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth again.
What he actually wanted to say was, why didn't I know about this? Then he thought that this must be a good thing done by his predecessor. The three places of transferring the Weiwei Mansion, the Lieutenant's Office, and Shangjun were fine, but the guards at Hangu Pass and Wuguan were fine.
Is it adjustable?
The reason why he didn't say it out loud was because Hu Hai thought that he was his predecessor. Isn't asking like this a typical self-explanatory act?
It seems that Wei Liao is reminding himself.
Hu Hai glanced at Wei Liao gratefully, and then said,
"Draft the decree. Meng Li will lead the soldiers' camp with 5,000 soldiers, and Yang Ruihe will lead the lieutenant's office to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of Ziying. In addition, the second lieutenant of Longwei Ying will lead the second lieutenant of Longwei to cooperate in the thorough investigation of the matter!
If you have any news about this matter, please report it to me at any time! My dear friends, is this possible?"
Hu Hai asked these dear friends, but his eyes were looking at Meng Tian.
Obviously, he arranged for Meng Li to lead a military camp to investigate Ziying's disappearance to give Meng Tian peace of mind. But what Hu Hai didn't know was that Meng Li was Meng Tian's son.
Meng Tian heard Hu Hai's words and quickly bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Naturally, the other ministers could not have any opinions, and they all said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"In that case, the matter has been arranged like this. Master Lao Zongzheng, Meng Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing, Wei Lao Aiqing, the two prime ministers and two of you will stay. The rest of the ministers should step back." Hu Hai said calmly.
"I obey the order!"
…
After a while, Hu Hai and the few people he left behind were the only ones left in the hall, and of course Ying Yi was also there.
Kong Yu and Tian Ren knew that Hu Hai would definitely continue to discuss important matters with several important ministers from the Qin Dynasty who had left them behind. Hu Hai deliberately left them behind to express his concern for these newly attached members of the Hundred Families.
Although they knew this was intentional, they still felt extremely grateful.
"I have two things for you to do. The first thing is for you to discuss who should be sent to Hangu Pass, Wuguan and Bashu counties to guard the two counties; how to arrange the army of 100,000 people." Hu Hai got straight to the point.
road.
There was silence in the main hall. Li Si and others were obviously thinking about who should be sent. Of course, Kong Yu and Tian Ren had no say in this matter. They could only listen at the moment.
"The veteran thinks that Hangu Pass can be guarded by Caiguan General Wang Kun. As for Wuguan, General Li Xin is about to lead the army south to Nanyang and can guard it together. As for Bashu County, the veteran thinks that the former Forbidden Army and former Army General Meng Kuo can be sent there. "Wei Liao spoke first after a while.
Except for a few famous generals, Hu Hai was not familiar with the rest of the generals in Da Qin, so of course there was no direct appointment. After listening to Wei Liao's suggestion, Hu Hai asked: "What do you think of Mr. Wei's words of love to you?" ?”
Meng Kuo is the son of Meng Yi, Wang Kun and Wang Qian are both sons of Wang Li, and Wang Qian is currently walking in the Bashang camp.
"I second the proposal!"
"How to arrange the arrangement of the 100,000-yuan army? I guess Wei Lao Aiqing has a secret in mind?" Hu Hai asked immediately.
"Back to Your Majesty, veteran minister, can I first ask how Your Majesty intends to arrange these 100,000 original troops? After General Meng Tian leads the army eastward out of Hangu Pass, will he act in accordance with Your Majesty's previous policy?" Wei Liao bowed.
"No. I plan to divide the 100,000-yuan army into two armies, with one army of 80,000 people. Under the command of Meng Aiqing, we will attack Julu and wipe out Li Zuoche's rebel army in Julu County. Baolangxie, Jiaodong, and Linzi The county official's warehouse was not lost; then he commanded the county south and joined forces with Wang Li's 100,000 troops to wipe out the rebel troops in Sishui and other counties."
