Chapter 45: Meng Yi's Choice
"Until now, you still dare to scare me. www.biquge.info"Zhao Gao looked at Gongsun Long, his eyes were like two awls, staring straight at Gongsun Long's eyes.
"Try it, and then you will know if the old man is scaring you. I dare to tell you very responsibly, the taste of a thousand days of anti-thieves is very bad. If you come to this underground one day and tell me what it means to live better than to die. The old man has lived all his life, and he really hasn't tasted it. Hahaha......! Gongsun Long's hearty laughter seemed not to be a prisoner, but a victorious king.
"I'm going to make your life worse than dead now!" Zhao Gao's eyes shot out of his eyes and shouted.
"Hahaha! Can you do it? The Queen Mother wants my head, and you won't let me live long. Even if it is painful, it is only for a while. And you? Fear and hesitation will stay with you for the rest of your life, and you will never have a comfortable life in this life. Stay in your house all day, thinking that this person or that person is going to harm you. Everyone around you is the object of suspicion, including the people closest to you or the people you love the most. Belch......! The old man almost forgot that you are a eunuch and cannot have a lover. Hahaha! Gongsun Long's laughter rang out again in the cell.
"Lao Tzu made you die a good death!" Zhao Gao let out the sharpest howl from his throat, perhaps it didn't come from his throat, but from his chest.
Two days later, Gongsun Long was arrested by Che on charges of murdering Jing Er. Zhao Gao blamed Jing Er's madness entirely on Gongsun Long's poisoning. At the same time, Wei Meiren also quietly disappeared from the palace. No one knows where she has gone, whether she is still alive in this world. In short, this person disappeared without a trace as if he had never been to this world.
Gongsun Long is dead, but his intimidation seems to have had some effect. Zhao Gao did not write to ask Hu Hai to conquer the country, and the entire Great Qin court seemed to ignore that small vassal state. Let him be mixed in the land of Great Qin, occasionally making some discordant notes.
At a time when a series of political struggles are taking place in Xianyang, the capital of Great Qin, Chengdu! This important town of Bashu is also staging a fierce political game.
Meng Yi hurried to Bashu in order to kill Chang Wenjun and Empress Xiao. But when he arrived in Bashu, he realized that a huge black cauldron was slowly buckled on his head. It's not a good job, it's a pit, a bottomless pit.
Unknowingly, Empress Xiao and Chang Wenjun have been rooted in Bashu for ten years. A lot of things have happened in the past ten years, outside Great Qin fought with various vassal states for life and death, and destroyed the country and slaughtered the city. Yun Yue also made an expedition to the Western Regions, and then swept away all threats in the entire northern part of China. Today's Huns no longer have the fierceness of orthodox history. The remaining remnants of the Huns lived like rats. The people who are active in the grassland, inspired by money, see the Xiongnu as if they see money. You have to get their heads in your hands!
The huge mountains are like a high wall, blocking out the bloody wind and rain of real China. Although Great Qin imposed heavy taxes on Bashu, the reputation of the country of abundance was not in vain. Dujiangyan was built by Li Bing and his son, which made Bashu have a large area of fertile land. The output of the land will always be greater than the tax. In recent years, there has been a great drought in Shuzhongmu and a major flood in Yimu. The lives of ordinary people are thriving, and they don't know how to thank others. I only know that the noble and beautiful messy filial piety came to Bashu. The big guy is living a good life!
Empress Xiaohou has been in the political arena of Daqin for decades, and she does have a few brushes. She took Chang Wenjun, who was full of energy, and governed Bashu all these years without closing her door and leaving no trace of the road. By the way, all those disobedient officials have been replaced. Those who disobeyed and did not listen to the greetings all went home and picked up their children. Those new officials have different personality characteristics, tall, short, fat and thin, and come from different backgrounds...... But one thing is the same, and that is to be absolutely loyal to the filial piety.
The obedient give the carrot, and the disobedient give the big stick. This is the policy of filial piety to govern Bashu, after a round of carrot and stick education. The entire Bashu has become the most solid basic plate of filial piety. No one could shake the status of Empress Xiao's position in Bashu, not even the ambassador sent by Xianyang.
This was the case with Meng Yi, even though he held the royal throne and represented the authority of the royal family with full powers. But in front of this person who had to call his grandmother when Jing Er saw him, it didn't seem to have much effect. The whole Bashu is like a densely woven net, and it is easy to put Meng Yi, a little insect, in the center of the net!
After entering Bashu, Meng Yi found many old subordinates of Meng Yi, but none of them were willing to help this descendant of the Meng family. This made Meng Yi very sad, but he didn't expect that these Qiu Ba would also start to stop talking about hooliganism. The lack of traditional culture is really regrettable.
What Meng Yi didn't expect was that he had been in Shuzhong for less than a month. The situation in Xianyang has changed dramatically, and Jing Er has become the former king. The current king, Mr. Hu Hai, obviously does not give him face. An edict flew to Shuzhong. The angel who was still holding the royal sword the day before yesterday has become a prisoner waiting to be executed in his cell. How can life experiences be described as impermanent.
"Auntie, do you mean not to kill Meng Yi?" Chang Wenjun looked at Empress Xiao with some surprise, since Meng Yi entered Bashu. How much trouble they have caused, and now there is finally a chance to kill him. But her aunt said that she would keep this person, and Chang Wenjun found it very difficult to understand.
After the filial piety fingers plucked the last tail note on the strings, the sound seemed to echo in people's hearts. I closed my eyes until the end of the end of the note, and then I didn't open my eyes until the end of the note. Looking at the Bashu Mountains in front of him, he stood up and walked slowly to the railing. Reached out and grabbed a handful of rice in the food box, and with a wave of his hand, he sprinkled it in the pool. The red koi fish from far and near rushed over like crazy, competing for the rice scattered by the filial piety.
The distant mountains are like daisies, and the near water is like ink. Set off the filial piety queen like a goddess of the Nine Heavens, she was born very beautiful. The climate of Bashu is excellent again, although it is already over forty years old. But the eyebrows are picturesque and the cheeks are rosΓ©, except for some subtle crow's feet at the corners of the eyes. The rest were like women of about twenty years old, and the scenery was even more beautiful.
"This man is like a fish, as long as you have what he wants. He will listen to you, a big change in Xianyang. Meng Yi is already a lost dog, and killing him has no other effect than falling into the well and giving us a breath of relief.
What's more, Bashu has many old days. Let's kill him like this, what will those old people think? They didn't help Meng Yi, they already felt guilty about the Meng family, if we kill Meng Yi again, they will be separated from us. Empress Xiao watched the fish splashing in the water, and her eyes moved upwards as if she wanted to see through the fog of the distant mountains.
"The most important thing is that those people in Xianyang want him to die. We must keep him alive, as long as it is what the enemy wants to achieve. You have to try to destroy it, especially now that people are in our hands. Your eldest brother has succeeded to the throne as the king of Chu, and with his temperament, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will start a war with Great Qin. As soon as the war began, no one could predict what the whole of China would become. At this time, let's kill a general like Meng Yi, and a general who is not in the same sky as those people in Xianyang, do you say that it is right or wrong? Empress Xiao suddenly turned around and looked at Chang Wenjundao.
"But Meng Yi will listen to us? His family motto is very loyal to Daqin, and an edict from the king can make people like Meng Tian commit suicide. We......! β
"Huh! You also believe the news from Xianyang! The old body didn't know how Meng Tian died, but what the old body knew was that this matter must be related to Pingliang. That Yun Yue can toss, so many years to toss such a big family business. I heard that even the Great Moon Clan, the largest of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, was occupied by him. He was unwilling to recruit barbarian troops into the Central Plains, otherwise Great Qin would have been unable to bear it a long time ago. Where else could you confront him for so long!
It's a bit far, Meng Yi is now a lost dog. Xianyang's nest was demolished, and the whole family fled to death. He has a family that is difficult to return and revenge, if he doesn't vote for us, who will he vote for? Could it be that he is going to go to the state of Chu? Is that any different from running to us? Although we have some generals under us, we lack a person who can really lead the troops. If you start a rebellion in Bashu, you really can't do it without such a person. Meng Yi is the person sent by God to help our Dachu. "If there are peach blossoms behind filial piety, it is glamorous. But he claims to be old, which makes people sound very strange.
The Mi clan is a branch of the Chu royal family, and they have always had a strong sense of belonging to the Chu country. Now that Daqin is about to face turmoil in China, the eyes of the filial piety queen have also begun to turn from abroad to China. Since Changping Jun became the king of Chu, Empress Xiao knew that the opportunity had come. The Qi clan will definitely surpass the Xiong clan and become the king of the Chu State.
"But the Taurus Road has been closed, and our contact with Guanzhong has been cut off. The communication with the state of Chu is also not smooth, and there are many dangerous beaches on the river. If the Qin army concentrates all its strength and attacks the state of Chu. We are powerful and difficult to do! Chang Wenjun said helplessly.
They can block the Golden Bull Road in Bashu, but Daqin can also block the Golden Bull Road in Guanzhong. Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky! This is still a poem by Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty, and you can imagine what kind of bear Shu Dao was in Qin Shi.
"Huh! You have forgotten that the old man sent people to the south to survey the year before last. Now it has paid off, and they say that they can connect the Haiyang River with the Darong River. In this way, our grain ships in Bashu can go directly to Shuzhong. Although it was difficult for the soldiers of the Chu State to go to Bashu, it was not impossible to get through.
The old man was very satisfied with this idea, and ordered them to do it. The old body also named this big canal Lingqu, and I am an outstanding person in Shu. As long as it occupies Shuzhong, the future world will definitely belong to my Chu State. Empress Xiao looked at the mountains in the distance and said confidently.
"Lingqu ......! Good name, with this canal. I Bashu can go down the river and bring all kinds of materials to the eldest brother. It must be dug quickly, as long as the ditch is dug open. Bashu can be practiced as one with the Chu State. No, I'm going to the south myself. Watch this ditch dig! Chang Wenjun heard the news and said excitedly.
"Don't worry! There are many people doing this, and you are not one of them. Now, all you have to do is go to prison. Convince that General Meng and let him be of use to us. If we do something in Shuzhong, he is the best choice to lead the troops. Empress Xiao smiled and said to Changping Jun that he was also nearly thirty years old. can talk and do things, and he is still like a child. Fortunately, the State of Chu still has Changping Jun, otherwise I really don't know if the State of Chu can fight the State of Qin.
"I'm going?" Because of Meng Yi's previous identity, he had many conflicts with Chang Wenjun. Although it is not enough to cause bloodshed, verbal conflicts are inevitable. Now let him convince Meng Yi, he is naturally a little resistant.
"If you don't go, do you want me to go to the filth of the cell?" Empress Xiao slapped Chang Wenjun and pretended to be angry.
"Got it, aunt!" The cell will not be too clean anywhere, Chang Wenjun heard what Empress Xiao said. There was no choice but to agree. Go to the prison to persuade Meng Yi to be loyal to the Mi family.
"You're not going to kill me?" Meng Yi held the edict issued by Zhao Gaodai Hu Hai in his hand, which clearly stated that Meng Yi, the rebel and important criminal, would be killed on the spot, and the head would be sent to Xianyang. But now Chang Wenjun said that he would not kill himself, which made Meng Yi a little stupid. According to the previous conflict, Meng Yi should really want to kill himself.
"The general is the pillar of Great Qin, but the current Great Qin is no longer the Great Qin of the past. The origin of the first king is very strange, and the filial piety queen has already determined that he is not the blood of the Ying family. Today's king, it is even more not a descendant of the surname Ying. Empress Xiao felt that a big talent like the general was assassinated by a small person. It is the loss of my Great Qin royal family, and it is also the loss of the people of Great Qin.
If the general stays in Shuzhong, he will one day follow the army back to Xianyang. Not only to avenge the family, but also to eliminate those villains who steal high positions for Daqin. "Chang Wenjun, like Chang Pingjun, has not lacked orthodox aristocratic education since he was a child. Speaking softly and gracefully, it gives people the feeling of a spring breeze. Especially with that handsome face, if Meng Yi is a woman, he should be thinking about how to marry him now.
"Is there any other way out for me?" Meng Yi didn't know that although Chang Wenjun had a big Qin, they already wanted to establish themselves as kings in their hearts. Even, conspired with the State of Chu to kill Great Qin. The Mi family and the Xiong family are originally one family. It's not a conspiracy!
"That's what General Meng agreed?" Chang Wenjun smiled and stepped forward.
"Even if I surrender to Meng Yi, there are two conditions, if the king does not agree. You can cut off my Meng Yi's head with a knife! β
"General Meng, please speak! As long as you are not too embarrassed, this monarch will promise you! β
"First, my Meng family was born as a courtier of Great Qin, and died as a general of Great Qin. I surrendered to the king, not to surrender to Chu. If the monarch and Changping Jun jointly attack Qin in the future, please forgive Meng Yi for not being able to receive the order! I don't know if you can agree? β
"This matter naturally doesn't matter, you are the general of Great Qin. That hasn't changed! Chang Wenjun said with a smile. Shuzhong has never sent strong troops, such a thing as attacking Daqin. It is still left to the state of Chu to do, and what Bashu has to do is to provide a steady stream of grain and straw to the state of Chu and provide logistical support. Where is the use of Meng Yi, with the soldiers to kill Guanzhong.
"Second, my Meng family and Zhao Gao have a common enmity, if the time is ripe one day in the future. Your Majesty wants to help me get revenge! β
After Meng Yi finished speaking, Chang Wenjun's face fell. This one seems to be in conflict with the previous one! (To be continued.) )
