Hu Hai was not sure that Zhao Tuo was responsible for this incident. It might be an unknown powerful force hiding in the dark. However, precautionary measures must be taken.
Sending Zhao Tuo's 200,000 troops north to enter Guanzhong King Qin was considered a small test by Hu Hai.
Originally, Zhao Tuo's attitude in history was very ambiguous. He had 500,000 elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty but did not send troops to help the Qin Dynasty quell the rebellion. This itself was a big mystery in later generations.
If Zhao Tuo follows the order and leads his troops, then there should be no problem for Zhao Tuo. But once Zhao Tuo resists the order and makes excuses not to go north, then Zhao Tuo really has ulterior motives. It is basically certain that Ziying's matter is
What he did.
Hu Hai's intentions were clear to Wei Liao, and Li Si was equally clear.
But everyone couldn't figure it out. If it was really Zhao Tuo who did it, could he really be sure to control the nearly 200,000 old Qin people in the 500,000-strong army? Can he control the many Mongolians in the 500,000-strong army?
Generals who are descendants of the Wang family?
"Your Majesty, Lord Zongzheng is outside the palace asking for an audience." A palace maid came in to report.
"Xuan!"
Ying Teng had just arrived home and before his buttocks were warm, the palace maid who delivered the decree from Hu Hai arrived. As soon as he came back, Hu Hai immediately sent someone to summon him, so he did not dare to neglect, hurriedly put on his court clothes and followed the palace maid straight to the political hall.
.
"Old minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Ying Teng strode in, glanced at Li Si and Wei Liao who were sitting in the hall, felt slightly confused, and bowed to Hu Hai.
"Lord Zongzheng, there is no need to be so polite, please stay calm!"
After Yingteng sat down with Li Si's head, Hu Hai said: "I feel very sorry for letting Lao Zongzheng run around again and again, but this matter still needs Master Lao Zongzheng to think about it for me."
"I don't dare, old minister. I wonder what your Majesty is talking about?" Ying Teng said with a salute.
"I have just discussed with the Prime Minister and the Imperial Lieutenant, intending to appoint Li Ji as the Queen, but I still need Master Lao Zongzheng to take care of me for this matter," Hu Hai said.
When Yingteng heard Hu Hai's words, he was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted. Then he glanced meaningfully at Li Si beside him, bowed and said, "I wonder when your Majesty will issue the edict?"
"How about tomorrow?"
"Your Majesty, it's easy to issue an edict, but the ceremony of enthroning the queen requires first selecting a palace for the queen, and then offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, the Taimiao, etc. Only then can the queen's veterans record the queen's name into the Ying family genealogy. Tomorrow, one day
I may not be able to prepare properly in time.”
"This... how many days does Mr. Zongzheng think it will take?" Hu Hai hesitated and asked.
"Your Majesty, the appointment of a queen is a matter of national importance and should not be trivial. I think it will take at least more than a month to prepare." Ying Teng affirmed.
It takes a month to prepare? And it’s still at least crazy?
Hu Hai was really in pain now. He originally thought that he only needed to issue an edict and that would be it. He never thought that he would also need to sacrifice heaven and earth, etc. Why does Brother Niima have to appoint a queen to sacrifice to heaven?
Glancing at Li Si who was sitting upright in the hall, Hu Hai forced a smile and said: "In that case, tomorrow we will first issue an edict to Guanzhong and all the counties to inform the world about the enthronement. The ceremony will be held after Master Lao Zongzheng is ready, everyone.
What do you think, Aiqing?"
"I obey the order!" The three people in the hall quickly bowed and responded.
"Your Majesty, I don't know which palace the queen should use as her bedroom? Only the veteran can help repair and tidy it up to meet the queen's etiquette!" Ying Teng said.
This question really hit Hu Hai.
In addition to knowing the Xianyang Palace where he had stayed since returning to Xianyang, he now knew about the world-famous Afang Palace, and he had not yet visited the Afang Palace.
There were many palaces behind Xianyang Palace, but he didn't know the names of these palaces at all.
"Lao Zongzheng, which palace do you think can be used as the queen's bedroom?" Hu Hai had an idea and asked.
Yingteng didn't think much about it. Instead, he thought it was the emperor's respect for him. He thought about it carefully and said, "Your Majesty, I think that either Ganquan or Lanchi Palace can be used as the queen's bedroom."
Ganquan Palace is located in Ganquan Mountain in the northeast of Xianyang. Go straight out of the north gate of Xianyang to Beiban, pass by the palace complex of the Six Kingdoms, and you will find Ganquan Palace. Lanchi Palace is very close to Xianyang, right next to the Orchid Pond on the south bank of the Weishui River.
These two palaces are the most magnificent and magnificent palaces in the Daqin Palace besides Afang Palace, and they are both places with beautiful scenery. Of course, Hu Hai didn't know this, but both Li Si and Wei Liao knew it, and Li Si was especially satisfied.
"Then let's settle on Ganquan Palace." Hu Hai said casually. Anyway, he didn't know where these two palaces were.
"Old minister, I obey the order!"
"What time is it now?" Hu Hai suddenly said in a confused manner.
Li Si, Wei Liao and Ying Teng were stunned when they heard Hu Hai's words. They were obviously not used to Hu Hai's jumping thinking.
"Back to Your Majesty, it was the quarter of Xu when the old minister came, and now it should be the third of Xu." Ying Teng said.
Hu Hai didn't know what time it was at Xu time, but it still took a long time to arrive at twelve o'clock at Ion time.
"My dear friends, would you like to accompany me to the guard camp outside the city to work for the army?" Hu Hai thought for a moment and said.
Stationed in the guard camp outside the city at the moment is the 100,000 original army that had just arrived in Xianyang in the afternoon.
Hu Hai suddenly wanted to take a look at the 100,000-strong Jiuyuan army, which is said to be the most elite force in the Qin Dynasty, to get a glimpse of a leopard. Although he has excluded Meng Tian from the Ziying incident, everything is possible, right?
Jiuyuan County will leave Guanzhong with Meng Tian and Li Xin tomorrow, and he wants to see it first.
"Your Majesty, what if..." Li Si suddenly said.
Wei Liao next to them also had a solemn expression. At this moment, they suddenly remembered that Jiuyuan arrived in the afternoon and Ziying disappeared in the afternoon. If this matter was really caused by Meng Tian or the Meng family, then Xianyang, which was empty of troops at the moment, was completely
A piece of meat in Meng Tian's mouth.
Hu Hai understood the meaning of Li Si's words, and Wei Liao understood them, but Ying Teng couldn't understand them clearly.
Hu Hai suddenly reacted at this time. He just considered that Meng Tian would not be able to do this, but if it was really Meng Tian who did it, then he and the courtiers would probably become meat on Meng Tian's chopping board soon.
I just wishfully thought that Meng Tian wouldn't do it, but what if it happened?
Thinking of this, Hu Hai's expression changed, and then he said firmly: "I have made up my mind. The people who come will immediately summon Ying Yi, Zhang Han, Meng Tian, and Li Xin to the palace." After saying this, Hu Hai said to Ying Teng: "Please help me prepare, sir."
Something to reward the army."
Ying Teng keenly felt that something was wrong from the expressions of Hu Hai, Li Si and Wei Liao. This was obviously a taboo against the Shijiuyuan army, but why did it suddenly happen?
Ziying! These two words suddenly popped out of Yingteng's mind.
All the mysteries were solved at once. Ziying's disappearance made His Majesty and others suspicious of Meng Tian.
Yingteng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
