My Brother Daqin No. 1 Dude

Chapter 373 Your Majesty, agree?

In January, a small amount of snow fell on the top of the city wall, turned into water, and flowed to the bottom of the city wall. Winter came.

Covered in silver, the already cold long street is even deserted, and the people are hiding at home, hoping that this winter will pass quickly. They don't like winter.

For the poor people in winter, it means cold, killing, and sitting and eating.A vast expanse of whiteness is not worthy of praise, nor is it anything to look at.

"My God, hurry up and let this winter pass!"

The people all over the world shrank and shouted.

Winter is not suitable for travel, so naturally it is not suitable for tours.

The cold weather will bring great trouble to the Qin army, adding countless negative variables to the already dangerous patrol, but it will provide better assassination opportunities for the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

The first emperor was not afraid of these, but he would not make trouble for himself, create difficulties and move upward.

The cold comes and goes, the autumn is harvested and winter is hidden.

Work at sunrise, and rest at sunset.

This is the law of nature, and it is also the law of the ancients.

The ancients had a great awe of the sky, because they really depended on the sky for food, far more than modern people rely on the sky.

Once winter lasts a little longer, people will starve to death and freeze to death, especially the elderly.

The physical fitness of the elderly is not as good as that of the young. Every winter is a life-and-death crisis for many elderly people.

If you can't bear it, you will die.

In this snowstorm, the two generals of Daqin rushed to Xianyang from the northwest.

The first emperor gave an amnesty to guard the borders of the Great Qin Empire. Meng Wu, who was stationed in Shangjun, and Meng Tian, ​​​​who was stationed in Jiuyuan County, could return to the capital.

Brave the wind and snow, starry night and travel.

The father and son, dressed in hoarfrost, returned to the Meng family where they grew up.

The only ones who greeted them were Mengwu Xijun Zhao Su, Mengtian Xijun Bu Xianglian, and Meng Yi who was the internal historian of the Great Qin Dynasty.

There is also a drooping old man, Meng Ao, who is wrapped in a thick leather coat and supported by Ying Chengxu, the Lord of Chang'an, who should not be here.

"I'm home?"

The veteran smiled and was very happy.

"Father."

"Father!"

Ying Chengxun handed the old man to Meng Wu and Meng Tian, ​​and said with a smile:
"Old boy, the emperor called me, I will enter the palace first, and I will come to see you another day."

When Meng Wu and Meng Tian didn't come back, it was no problem for him to stay here with Meng Ao.Mengwu Mengtian returned home, the family must have something to say, it would be inappropriate for him to stay any longer.

"Thank you, Mr. Changan."

The veteran said gratefully.

A veteran who has never read a book and cannot read is not stupid.

After leaving the gate of Meng's house, Ying Chengxun's expression darkened instantly as he faced the long street.

Meng Ao's anger is vague, this old man in his dying years will not live long.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are things he can't control. Once, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The last time, it was his father, King Qin Zhuangxiang, who died of illness. He had tens of millions of wealth, countless talents and treasures.In Xianyang, there is Xia Wuqi, the heir of a family of doctors with the highest medical skills. It is difficult for ordinary people to see a master of medicine.

However, it was difficult for Ying Zichu to continue his life for another month.

In the face of death, all living beings are equal.

Whether it's a beggar begging for a living, or a co-lord with power over the world, it's the same.

The pond in the Chang'an Lord's Mansion did not freeze, flakes of snowflakes fell into the pond and blended into it.

In the cold weather, the koi no longer churned happily on the water surface, but swam in the deepest and warmest bottom of the pool.Sometimes it floats to the surface, opens its mouth wide to take a breath of fresh air, and then sinks quickly.

The number of koi at the bottom of the water increased, the silver needle that sank at the bottom of the water fluctuated much more frequently, and the frequency of floating on the water surface was also much faster.

Emperor Shihuang, who never forgets to fish with straight hooks in winter, had a calm face, turned his head to Xia Wuqi who had just come out of Meng's house and said:
"How about Duke Meng?"

Recently, every day, Xia Wuqie would go into Meng Ao's house to check Meng Ao's body, prescribe prescriptions according to Meng Ao's physical condition, and knew Meng Ao's physical condition like the back of his hand.

"This winter should not be able to survive."

In the courtyard, Ying Chengxue who was leaning against the pillars of the porch, Shi Huangdi who was fishing by the pond, and Xia Wuqi who stood with their hands folded, all three were silent.

The north wind whirls back and forth, not only temperature, but also life along the way.

"Seal a Chehou."

Ying Chengxi suddenly said:
"That old boy, although he never said it, actually quite valued it. People are going to die, so let him be happy to be sealed as a Marquis."

Xia Wuqiu wanted to resign, this was not something he could listen to.

After so many dealings, he already knew that the relationship between the two brothers, Emperor Shihuang and Lord Chang'an, was unusual.They don't regard each other as enemies like other royal children, but brothers who depend on each other like poor people.

However, such a big event as Marquis Feng, especially Marquis Che, and Ying Chengxu's random intervention still made Xia Wuqi feel unreal - the Great Qin Empire now has only one Marquis Che, Marquis of Wucheng Wang Jian.

[Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, how could it be possible for a person to be named Marquis because of his dying?Mr. Chang'an is so childish, childish and cute, maybe Handi is a good place. ]
Xia Wuju thought to himself, not optimistic about Ying Chengxiu's words, but optimistic about Ying Chengxiu's territory.

The next day, a court meeting was held in Xianyang Hall.

The first emperor ordered that all qualified people must attend the meeting.

At the meeting.

The civil servants are headed by Xiangbang Jiangshang.

Prime Minister Wang Wan on the right, Prime Minister Li Si on the left, and Feng Quji, the censor, are in the starting line.

The generals are headed by Guowei Lianpo.

Meng Wu, Meng Tian, ​​Tu Sui, Zhao Tuo, and Ren Xiao are in the starting line.

There is also Meng Ao who should not have appeared at the court meeting, and saw that he had more energy and less energy.

Meng Wu, Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Yi sat around Meng Ao, with puzzlement and anger in their eyes.

The first emperor alone issued an order for veteran Meng Ao to attend the court meeting, and he must come.

Originally, Meng Ao's health was extremely poor, and the time for the court meeting was still very early, and he had to get up and go out before dawn, which was the coldest time of the day.

Even though the bullock cart was covered with thick animal skins, a fire was lit in the carriage fifteen minutes earlier to raise the temperature, and the old man was wrapped in four layers of leather clothing.

The old man's complexion was still visible to the naked eye the moment he went out, and he coughed a few times.

"This is murder! Father, I will help you back to the house!"

Meng Wu said angry words, and was about to walk back with his father.

"I'm going to talk to His Majesty! How can you act like this!"

Meng Tian, ​​who was born for the first emperor, did not defend his childhood this time, and also had the same expression as his father.It was the first time that he felt so angry and disappointed towards Emperor Shi Huang.

Feeling the cold on his face, Meng Ao's body resisted the chill from the surface to the internal organs.

Those originally bright eyes glared at the eldest son and eldest grandson, without much energy.

"Wang Ling, obey."

The old man said weakly.

He has seen Jun Wu An who did not follow Wang Ling end, so he will not make this mistake.

He is going to die, but his family is still there, and the descendants of his life are still there.

The meeting begins.

The first emperor asked Xiangbang Jiangshang to report the situation after the implementation of the decrees in various places, but there was something urgent that needed to be dealt with immediately.

Fu Zikang, who wants to govern Su Nei Shi, reported the taxation of various places, and judged the degree of heart-warming in each place from the payment of taxes.

I asked Ting Wei Zhang Tu to report the number of prisons in various places, the number of corvee workers, the number of servants and concubines, and the number of cases.

……

This court meeting lasted for a long time, and Ying Chengxue, who was in the first row, was always paying attention to Meng Ao's direction.

He saw that Meng Ao couldn't sit still anymore, his body was swaying. Usually, the simplest sitting upright, a veteran who used to be able to sit for a whole day, was still like a clock, but now it was torture.

He saw that Meng Wu, Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Yi's complexions became more and more ugly, and their dissatisfaction and anger piled up more and more.

He also looked angrily at the aloof Emperor Shihuang, as if the real eyes made Shihuang instantly respond, and looked over.

"Brother Huang, what are you waiting for? Fenghou!"

Ying Chengxue's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

The First Emperor could read lips, and could tell what he was saying from his mouth movements.

Shi Huangdi, who was sitting on the high platform, turned his head to look at Meng Ao and smiled.

Without Gai Nie and Zhao Gao's cover, this smile clearly appeared in front of all the courtiers.

[Your Majesty is in a good mood, is it because Meng Ao is about to die? ]
[Wang Jian went to Qi, the influence of the Wang family in the army was greatly reduced, and only the Meng family was left in the army.Now that Meng Ao has collapsed, the army is under His Majesty's control. ]
[The members of the Meng Family are at an end!OK!The Meng family, whose eyes are higher than the top, will be suppressed after all! ]
[Torturing Menggong so much, why did it end here! ]
……

The courtiers were thinking about each other, but they had different ideas.

Meng Wu's face was full of anger, and he couldn't hide the clumsiness he had been hiding all this time, so he was about to get up immediately.

He has long disliked the current king, and he cannot stand such humiliation!His Meng family is full of loyalty, and I don't know how many Meng clan died on the battlefield for the Ying clan. Why is my father humiliated like this!

But he was firmly suppressed by the veteran, and he didn't know where the strength came from the veteran who was struggling to sit upright.

Ying Chengxun, who knew the inside story, thought that the first emperor would speak up in the next second, and wanted to be a marquis for Meng Ao.

Unexpectedly, the first emperor's eyes turned, and he glanced at Feng Quji, the censor doctor who was in charge of the picketing officials and was known as the deputy prime minister.

"Feng Quji, Xianyang officials violated the laws of Qin recently..."

"His Majesty!"

Ying Chengxi stood up and interrupted Shi Huangdi's words roughly in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who were already quiet, fell silent, terrifyingly quiet.

Ying Chengxi is powerful and powerful, and they know that they are afraid to avoid Ying Chengxi.

But how dare you, Ying Chengxi, be so presumptuous?When Shi Huangdi spoke, he interrupted forcefully.It is true that your power is overwhelming, but you forgot that this power is given to you by God!

The heaven of Qin is the First Emperor.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty paid attention to the interrupted Emperor Shihuang, and many of them thought that they would definitely see the first emperor being furious—the first emperor was not happy and angry, and his anger and joy were written on his face.

However, they saw that Emperor Shi Huang's smile deepened.

"What's the matter?"

They heard the first emperor's voice was very gentle.

[You must not provoke Mr. Chang'an! ! ! ! ]
In an instant, all the courtiers were shocked by this thought.

[Brother Huang, you are really good at plotting! ]
Ying Chengxi raised his hands high, lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"In the first year of King Zhuang Xiang, Duke Meng was a general, and he attacked Han, took Chenggao and Xingyang, and set them up as Sanchuan prefectures.

"In the second year, attack Zhao and take 37 cities.

"In three years, Gonghan took thirteen cities.

"In four years, the two cities of Wei Guochang and Yougui were pulled out.

"In five years, attack Wei, pull out [-] cities, set up Dongjun, and flatten the Jinyang rebellion.

"Six years, defeat the Allied Forces of the Five Nations.

"Your Majesty succeeded to the throne. In the first year of Wang Yuan, Prime Minister Lu Buwei rebelled with his disciple Lai Ai in Qinian Palace. Duke Meng led [-] armored soldiers to attack the Qinian Palace. He beheaded the thief Lu Buwei and Lai Ai, and ordered Your Majesty to be king. .

"Duke Meng has worked hard and made great achievements. He is loyal to the Great Qin and has done his best to His Majesty. Meng Wu, the son of Duke Meng, Meng Tian, ​​the grandson of Duke Meng, and Meng Yi, who inherited the ambition of Duke Meng, are all the humerus of the empire.

"The minister is Duke Meng, please seal him as Marquis Che!"

Shocking!

Before the last wave that stunned the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had passed, a wave even bigger than before hit.

Meng Ao passed away, and His Majesty is about to get all the military power. Now, Lord Chang'an, you want to grant Meng Ao the title of Chehou?
Your Majesty used the fertile land to finally replace this Marquis Wang Jian. Are you going to invite another one now?Do you think His Majesty doesn't know that you are close to the Meng family?

——Meng Wu didn't even toast the Empress A Fang at the banquet at the Xuanniao Palace, but he only toasted a bottle of Ying Chengxun, which was already noticed by interested people.

Are you anti-noble, want to centralize power for His Majesty?What are you doing now?You are taking His Majesty's power!Your Majesty can't use so much for your holy family!Isn't this courting death!
"His Majesty!"

Veteran Meng Ao shouted weakly, stood up tremblingly with the support of his eldest son Meng Wu and eldest grandson Mengtian, he wanted to stop this!

"Meng Gong wait a moment."

Shi Huang's voice was not high, but the firmness and warning in that voice could be heard clearly, and the four words made the veteran hold back all the words in his heart.

The veteran had already been warned once by the first emperor when he broke into the palace wearing armor and sword.

Moving his eyes to look at his brother, he said with a smile:
"Can you think of a title?"

[Jun Chang'an is smarter, he can still save his life if he speaks properly at this moment. ]
The courtiers all lowered their heads and kept silent in the cold Xianyang Hall, everyone thought that the First Emperor was laughing out of anger.

Under normal circumstances, ministers can raise titles and remonstrances, but this is an abnormal situation.

Proposing to grant Meng Ao the title of marquis was a jump on the killing line of the first emperor. If even the title was thought out in advance, it would be completely on the side of being killed.

"Duke Meng took over seventy cities for Great Qin. Since the founding of the Qin Kingdom, no one has ever captured a city better than him. He will be the champion of the whole army. Please be crowned champion!"

Ying Chengxi's words were sonorous and powerful.

[Jun Chang'an is finished!Where did the Marquis of the Champion put the Marquis of Wucheng!Where is Lord Wu An placed! ]
All the courtiers exclaimed inwardly.

[Bravely crowning the whole army, this title is so honorable! ]
There was a strange light in the eyes of a few generals, and they couldn't help but glance at Ying Chengyu.

Although they felt that this young Lord Chang'an might not be able to survive Duke Meng, they couldn't stop them from having a particularly good sense of Lord Chang'an who spoke out for Duke Meng right now.

"Bravely crowned the three armies, champion Hou, not bad."

The First Emperor nodded again and again, and his soft soliloquy made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think it was the calm before the storm.

The next moment Emperor Shi Huang dragged Ying Chengxue out, chopped off his limbs and exposed them to the sun outside the palace, they would not be surprised. They felt that they would not be surprised by Emperor Shi Huang's overreaction.

"Yes.

"Meng Ao, crowned champion."

The First Emperor's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice.

The courtiers counted one by one, and they all raised their heads, their faces full of horror and shock.

[Your Majesty, agree? ]
