General Qin

Twenty-eight years of Qin Shihuang.

Just when the Qin army was showing its might in northern Xinjiang.

The emperor of the empire is not in Xianyang.

Qin Shihuang, the supreme ruler of the Great Qin Empire, was traveling westward in his resplendent carriage, inspecting his territory.

This trip to the west was actually planned a long time ago, when Zhao Tuo, the chief minister, proposed to build Chidao to open up the imperial road network, so that the emperor's decrees could reach all counties and counties in the country.

Of the six early roads discussed by the ministers of the DPRK and China, the first to start construction was the Western one.

The purpose of building this western road is not only to allow the empire to more effectively control the territory west of Xianyang, but also to facilitate the emperor's westward tour, so that it can return to the old capital of the Qin State, and worship the ancestors in the land where the Qin people first sealed off. .

This is something that the first emperor always wanted to do after he unified the world.

Qin people have a saying that nine capitals were moved eight times.

Xianyang is the ninth capital of Qin Dynasty. Except for Jingyang in the north and Liyang in the east, the other six ancient capitals are all west of Xianyang.

"The widow, with a humble body, launched an army to punish the riots, and the spirit of Lai Zongmiao..."

The first emperor united the whole country and built unprecedented achievements. Not only did he think it was his own credit, but he also felt that it was the blessing of the spirits of the ancestors of all ages.

Just when Zhao Tuo defeated the three Yue clans and took all of Henan, the Chidao west of Xianyang happened to be completed. The First Emperor agreed to Zhao Tuo's strategy of attacking the Xiongnu in the north, and at the same time he was preparing to start his tour of the west.

When going out for a tour, the most critical thing is naturally the road condition.

However, the quality of Chidao built by the Qin State is very exaggerated no matter in any era.

Chi Daoguang fifty paces.

Qin's step is six feet, converted into the weights and measures of later generations, it is a full seventy meters wide!

Although it will be slightly reduced in some places according to the terrain conditions of each place, its scale is definitely far beyond other roads of the same period.

On this tens of meters wide road, a green pine tree is planted every three feet long, and the ground is compacted with gold vertebrae, making it difficult for people to pry. Through multi-layer tamping, the road surface of the entire Chidao is higher than the original surface, and drainage ditches are excavated on both sides of the road to ensure the firmness of the roadbed and facilitate drainage.

The roads built in this way can solve common traffic problems such as "there will be heavy rain and the road will be blocked" and "the mud will be smeared to the knees".

The first emperor's westward tour began, and a huge team walked on the Chidao and went straight westward. Lang Wei, who cleared the way, is majestic and strong, with many spears and halberds. Behind the yellow house is the left banner, and the emperor rides the law of the emperor to travel, showing his majesty.

The first emperor first went to Pingyang, where Qin Xiangong and Qin Wugong lived, and after a short stay, he went north to the old capital Yongcheng.

Yongcheng is the longest-used capital city in the history of Qin State. Since Qin Degong moved to Yongcheng, it has experienced the rule of 18 Qingongs, which lasted for 327 years. It can be seen that Yongcheng was in Qin Dynasty. What an important position the country has.

Even Qin Shihuang, at the age of twenty-two, held a crown ceremony in Yongcheng and officially took over the power of Qin.

"In April of that year, when I held the Crown Ceremony in Yongcheng, the traitor Lao Ai took the opportunity to correct my imperial seal and the queen mother's seal, and sent county soldiers, guard soldiers, official cavalry, princes of Rongdi, and Sheren to attack Qinian Palace and cause chaos. !"

In Qinian Palace in Yongcheng, the First Emperor stood in front of the tall palace, pointing at the distant scene, and talking in a deep voice.

The Lai Ai Rebellion was a topic he had deliberately avoided all these years.

Now that he revisited the old place, the emperor felt it from his heart. He finally couldn't bear the words he had kept in his heart for so many years and told the people around him.

There is only one audience around the emperor.

"Father, that Lao Ai is really bad. She dared to make troubles. He should be arrested, cut in half, smashed into pieces, and chopped into meat paste! Anyone who betrays Father deserves to die!"

Hu Hai raised his small fist and cried out loudly.

Fusu followed Meng Tian to build a straight road in the north, and the princes were not favored, so the first emperor took his favorite young son Hu Hai with him on his western tour.

The First Emperor lowered his head, looked at his younger son's face full of righteous indignation, and smiled.

"That's right, that's why I split Lao Ai and the Yiqi tribe in the end, so that everyone in the world will know what will happen if you dare to betray me!"

The First Emperor looked up again and looked at the huge square under the palace.

The smile on his face gradually froze, and a cold light gradually appeared in his eyes.

The first emperor still remembered that he was standing in this position back then.

On the square under the stage, stood Xiangbang Lu Buwei, Changping Jun, Chang Wenjun and others. Behind them was the majestic and brave Langwei Imperial Army.

At that time, Qin Wangzheng, who had just been crowned, successfully suppressed Lao Ai's rebellion by relying on the strength of these three people, successfully secured the throne, and took charge of the country's power.

But where are the three heroes who helped him quell the rebellion and control Qin?

Lu Buwei had an affair with the queen mother, and offered the great Yin man Lai Ai to the queen mother, which led to the subsequent rebellion of Lai Ai. Lu Buwei was actually the initiator of the whole thing.

In a sense, he actually betrayed Qin Wangzheng. Coupled with his increasing power, he finally ended up drinking poison and dying.

As for Lord Changwen and Lord Changping, they held high positions in the State of Qin as sons of the State of Chu, but they betrayed the King of Qin with ulterior motives, so naturally they would not end well.

The three heroes of Qinian Palace's Change did not end well.

"They are all traitors! Betrayed me!"

Shi Huang secretly gritted his teeth.

Apart from these three people, the most difficult thing for him to accept was the woman's betrayal.

"Even my own mother can betray me, so who else in the world can't betray me?"

The sight of Qi Nian Palace brought back his painful memories.

The Emperor Shihuang was moved by his heart, and sighed softly: "Hu Hai, you have to know that there is no minister who cannot be betrayed in the world, and a ruler should not trust anyone. Everyone... may betray!"

Hu Hai blinked his eyes and said, "Father, but Hu Hai just wants to play and doesn't want to be a king. Father should tell elder brother about this."

The First Emperor was stunned, looking at the young man in front of him, knowing that his heart was aroused by revisiting his old place, and he made a rare slip of the tongue.

If an ambitious young master heard this, he might have some crooked thoughts.

Thinking of Hu Hai's daily performance, the first emperor knew that he was just a playful boy with a simple mind and no desire for power, so he was relieved.

He gave a soft "hmm" and said no more.

Hu Hai rolled his eyes, thought of a question, and asked slyly: "Father, you just said that there is no minister who cannot be betrayed in the world, so will the father's favorite General Zhao Tuo be betrayed in the future?" where's the heart?"

The first emperor suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Zhao Tuo?

Will the man he loves and trusts the most now betray him?

The First Emperor smiled, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the palace complex in the distance, and said calmly: "I am now the Emperor of Great Qin, the ruler of the world, and I am no longer the mere King of Qin in the past. As long as I am here, no one in the world will dare to betray me! "

Footsteps came from behind.

CRRC Commander Zhao Gao came over, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Meng Zhonglang will beg to see you."

The First Emperor nodded and said, "Let Meng Yi come over."

Mengshi is from Qi State, and has been a general of Qin State for two consecutive generations.

Meng Ao and Meng Wu are both loyal and good in the Qin State, and their family style is upright, so the First Emperor respects and favors Mengshi very much, and he naturally attaches great importance to the third generation of Mengshi.

He first ordered Meng Tian to be the general of Zhonglang, and then let Meng Tian follow Wang Jian to attack Chu, and follow Zhao Tuo to destroy the dynasty and attack Qi.

Meng Tian's younger brother, Meng Yi, is also a straightforward character. He studied prison literature since he was a child.

Before Zhao Gao was implicated in the matter of Fan Yi, Qin Shihuang ordered Meng Yi to preside over the trial, interrogated him many times, and wanted to save Zhao Gao's life. As a result, Meng Yi was upright and upright, ignoring the hidden meaning of the first emperor, and wanted to follow the law of Lian Zuo to sentence Zhao Gao to death, and finally relied on Zhao Tuo's example of Qin Zhaoxiang's pardon of Fan Ju to save Zhao Gao.

Although Meng Yi's actions were not in line with the first emperor's thoughts, the first emperor admired Meng Yi's character of strictly abiding by the principles of the law.

In addition, Meng Yi is not only proficient in law, but also quite strategic, so the first emperor transferred him out of Tingwei Mansion and promoted him to be a general of Zhonglang.

This time the emperor is on a westward tour, escorted by Lang Weijun, and Meng Yi is the leader of this army.

After a while, Meng Yi came over.

After saluting solemnly, he presented an urgent and encrypted letter.

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent military letter from Xianyang Taiwei Mansion."

The letters were sealed with ink pads, and no one knew what was written until they were opened.

Emperor Shi Huang took it and took it apart with his own hands. After just a glance, a joyful smile appeared on his face.

"good!"

"Great goodness!"

"The general defeated the Xiongnu in the northern border, beheaded the Xiongnu Shanyu to the south of Yinshan Mountain, and seized all his land."

The First Emperor laughed loudly, shaking the letter paper in his hand, and said, "Gaoque, Yangshan and other places occupied by the Zhao people in the past have been taken back from the Hu people by the general. My Great Qin has completely occupied all the homelands of the Xias. !"

Hearing this great news, Meng Yi, Zhao Gao and others who were present quickly congratulated.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the general will destroy the Xiongnu and regain their homeland, and no one in the world will dare to be an enemy of our Great Qin!"

Even Hu Hai clapped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Father, General Zhao is really amazing!"

The First Emperor smiled from ear to ear, nodded and said: "Zhao Tuo, the biggest advantage is that he has never let me down."

As he said that, his eyes fell on Meng Yi, and he encouraged him: "You have been a general of the Meng family for generations, and now your brother Meng Tian has also conquered the Three Kingdoms, and has gained some prestige. If there is another conquest, I will send you there, and you can also fight in the future." Like a general, make meritorious deeds on the battlefield."

"I obey His Majesty's order."

Meng Yi bowed his hands to agree, thought for a while, and said: "Now that the general has defeated the Xiongnu, it will not be long before General Feng and the two Generals Li win the victory. Your Majesty's side is what I want."

Meng Yi's words made Shi Huangdi smile even more happily.

On the side, Zhao Gao lowered his head, his face was very stiff, and his eyes were full of coldness.

Meng Yi, the man who almost killed him.

Now Zhao Gao once again brought a huge threat.

Meng Yi used to work in Ting Wei's Mansion, he was proficient in the law, and served as Zhonglang General to accompany the emperor, and his functions began to overlap with Zhao Gao's.

And compared to Zhao Gao, a man of humble background, Meng Yi is a descendant of a generation of generals, with a noble blood and a well-known reputation. No matter how you look at it, he is more competitive than Zhao Gao.

More importantly, although Meng Yi is known as a straight man and is very principled in doing things, he is not a completely rigid person. Look at how well he flattered the emperor just now.

"Meng Yi!"

Zhao Gao roared in his heart.

The first emperor didn't care about the small thoughts of his confidant, and after he praised Zhao Tuo's achievements, the first emperor asked Meng Yi to announce the news, so as to boast of the great Qin's martial arts.

After Meng Yi left and Zhao Gao went to a distance and continued to stand there, the first emperor's eyes fell on Hu Hai again.

Thinking of how this kid just wanted to have fun and didn't even care about being a gentleman, although Shi Huang liked Hu Hai's simplicity, he was still a little dissatisfied.

After all, Daqin ruled the country by law, and princes and grandsons were not honored for their meritorious service.

"Hu Hai, you are also twelve years old, it's time to study the law, I want you to follow Meng Yi to study the law."

The First Emperor touched Hu Hai's head.

Hu Hai's eyes widened.

Studying the Fa with Meng Yi?

On his way to the west, he heard people say that although General Meng Zhonglang usually speaks softly, he even flatters the emperor. But they are very principled and strict in doing things, such people are not easy to get along with.

If he goes to be a student of Meng Yi, then he will be miserable.

Hu Hai shook his head like a rattle, hugged Shi Huang's arm, and said coquettishly, "Father, I don't want to learn the law from General Meng Zhonglang, or you can change me."

Emperor Shi Huang frowned.

This kid actually dares to pick someone?

If it was any other young master, he would have reprimanded him with a straight face, even if it was Fusu, he would definitely have reprimanded him sharply.

But the person acting like a spoiled child in front of him is his favorite young son Hu Hai.

Seeing Hu Hai's innocent face, hugging his arm and pleading coquettishly, Emperor Shi Huang's heart softened.

He just eats Hu Hai's set.

He said lightly, "Who do you want to replace?"

Hu Hai wrinkled his nose, just in time to see Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC Mansion standing in the distance.

Feeling Hu Hai's gaze, Zhao Gao smiled at him from a distance.

Hu Hai couldn't help being moved when he thought of Zhao Gao's respectful appearance every time he saw him.

He said: "Father, why don't you let me study the law with the CRRC Fuling? I heard that the CRRC Fuling is also a master of the law and has a good handwriting. Let me learn from him."

"Zhao Gao?"

The First Emperor was stunned, and turned his head to glance at Zhao Gao who was standing there respectfully, thoughtfully.

"You want to study the Fa with Zhao Gao because you are afraid of Meng Yi?"

Hu Hai smiled and said: "Father is wise, General Meng Zhonglang looks too strict, I think it is better to use the CRRC government order, anyway, I am studying the law, so I must find someone who looks comfortable." .”

The First Emperor smiled and shook his head, he was really helpless for his young son who likes to be comfortable.

But after thinking about it, only such a simple son would have no desire for power, let alone do things that would endanger the throne.

The first emperor recalled his younger brother Cheng Yu who had betrayed him, the person who made him feel that family affection was not as good as power again, and suddenly felt that Hu Hai's personality was also very good.

"Since that's the case, you can learn the law from Zhao Gao."

The First Emperor spoke lightly and agreed to Hu Hai's request.

"Yeah, father is wise!"

The young Hu Hai cried out happily.

The First Emperor shook his head, and after solving Hu Hai's matter, he remembered what Meng Yi said just now.

In addition to Zhao Tuo attacking the Xiongnu in the north, he also had three other generals who were leading the Qin army to fight against the Donghu, the Yue people and the Southwestern Yi respectively.

"The general has delivered the good news. I don't know what kind of surprise these generals will bring me!"

After returning to Xianyang, I will be granted the title of Marquis of Lun. Do you have any recommendations for the title of Marquis?

In addition, in today's update, the main plot after returning to Xianyang has not been straightened out, so I have to think about it, and I will make it up later.

"Historical Records Biography of Mengtian": The first emperor respected and favored Mengshi and trusted him. And to get close to Meng Yi, the position is the highest, and when you go out, you will participate in the ride, and if you enter, you will be in front of the imperial court.
