The Great Qin Empire

Chapter 40 Doubtful Points

When Qin Yang and Li Zhao, led by Kong Gang and others, came to the gate of Meng Tian's general, Kong Gang bowed his hands and said: "Special envoy, wait a moment, someone will lure you into the account. I will take my leave."

Qin Yang knew that Kong Gang still had to go out on patrol, so he didn't care, and he cupped his hands and said, "General, please go ahead."

Just as Kong left, a guard led Qin Yang into Meng Tian's camp.

Qin Yang took a look around after receiving the money, and saw: Meng Tian was sitting on the handsome table, the chief on the left side of the handsome table was somewhat similar to the first emperor, he should be the eldest son Fusu, he should be invited by Meng Tian who arrived early The second seat is Deputy General Wang Li, the other seats on the left and the right are supposed to be the chief generals of each army, there are more than ten people in the room.Except for Fusu, all the people present are neatly dressed in armor.

An incense case has been set up in the middle of the Xingyuan big tent, which should be used to receive the imperial edict.

Qin Yang signaled Li Zhao to stay on guard, and he walked unhurriedly to the front of the incense table, and was about to speak, but heard the two whispered in surprise almost at the same time: "Huh?"

It was Meng Tian and Fu Su who spoke.When Qin Yang was just at the pass outside the mountain, he kept bowing his head and Meng Tian hardly looked at the emperor's special envoy whose origin was unknown, so he didn't see Qin Yang's face clearly. Looking at him face to face, Meng Tian was inexplicably shocked: " Who is this Qin Yang? Why does he look so similar to His Majesty the Emperor? Is it a prince? No, I know all of His Majesty's more than a dozen princes. Are there any princes I have never met before? Could it be a descendant of the royal family?" Meng Tian, ​​who was full of doubts in his heart, looked at Fusu with inquiring eyes, but Fusu was also shaking his head with a wry smile on his face in bewilderment.

In an instant, the uneasiness in Meng Tian's heart increased a bit, "Could it be that the emperor intends to take away the military power of me and Fusu Jiuyuan, but replace it with this person? If so, how can I be the Great Qin?... Don't worry, let's explore first." Find out the details of this person and then look at what the imperial edict says before making a decision!" Meng Tian's thoughts changed, and he made up his mind in a moment, and he slowly walked down from the handsome table to the front of the incense table.

"May I ask when the special envoy will receive the emperor's order?" Meng Tian asked.

"The morning before yesterday!"

"Who made the edict?"

"His Majesty made it himself."

"Zhao Gao, why didn't Li Si stop?"

"These two are not to be heard!"

"Oh?..." Meng Tian was taken aback for a moment, and then asked again: "Your Majesty trusts you so much. Could it be that the special envoy is a soldier from a branch of the royal family?"

"No, I only met His Majesty once." Qin Yang didn't hide anything.

"It's really unreasonable, did the special envoy deceive me that Meng Tian is a three-year-old child?" Meng Tian said angrily.

"The next sentence is true, so how can you deceive others?" Qin Yang remained unmoved.

"...So, so, please envoy to declare!" Meng Tian said coldly with a livid face.

"Special envoy please announce the edict!" Fusu Wangli and the generals of the various armies also left their seats one after another and stood in front of the incense table and said in unison.

Seeing this, Qin Yang didn't hesitate, took out the two brass tubes from his bosom, held them in both hands, and handed them to Meng Tian and Fusu.Since the parcel was stolen in Jinyang the day before yesterday, Qin Yang no longer dared to put the edict of the first emperor together with the money and things, but kept it close to his chest at all times, so it was very convenient for him to take it out at this moment.

"Master General, please verify the edict." Qin Yang still understood that the edict should be verified before the edict was issued.

Meng Tian didn't connect the copper pipe, just glanced roughly, his face became more and more gloomy.Fusu had a look of confusion and surprise.According to imperial practice, top-secret letters of the highest standard, such as the emperor's secret edict, should be stored in a copper box called the "Dense Golden Chamber". Inside is another copper box. The number of small copper boxes is determined according to the specifications of the letter. The highest level can reach as many as four small copper boxes. A small wooden box with hidden buttons, and only the special envoy will know how to open the small wooden box. Letters are stored in this small wooden box, which means that this "dense golden chamber" can have up to six floors.Although Meng Tian didn't make and send high-standard top-secret letters by himself, he has received many of them, so he knows the rules.Now he saw that what Qin Yang had brought was two copper pipes, but it was also called the Emperor's Secret Edict, coupled with the many doubts before, all these made Meng Tian's heart burn with an unknown fire.

Although Qin Yang was familiar with the history of the Qin Kingdom, it was just history, and no matter how clear the historical records were, it would not be able to record the secret document sealing system of the Qin Empire in detail.At that time, the first emperor Yingzheng was in charge of the overall situation of the empire, and he only cared about opening up the territory and resisting foreign enemies, and devoted himself to the peace of the world. He has been busy for decades. It is said that he is in a hurry just to favor a concubine to satisfy his physical needs. How can he know such things? Minutiae "little things"?So that day, the first emperor and Qin Yang, who had little knowledge of the secret document system, suddenly got together to concoct these two edicts.At that time, no one thought that there was anything wrong with this, but now it seems that the trouble is big.

Qin Yang was very alert, seeing Meng Tian's gloomy complexion and angrily refusing to verify the edict, he immediately understood that there must be a problem with the encryption of the edict.After thinking about it for a while, Qin Yang made a decisive decision to read the edict first. He believed that as long as Meng Tian and Fusu listened to the edict and found that the content of the edict was not harmful to them, all problems would be solved.But just when Qin Yang was about to tear down the edict that he had marked "I belong to Meng Tian..." the enraged Meng Tian was the first to attack.

"Bold Qin Yang, you guys dare to make fake edicts and infiltrate our Jiuyuan camp. What is your plan?"

"Speak! What is the plan?" All the generals followed up and shouted, with an astonishing momentum.

The guards outside the tent heard something was wrong inside the tent, they rushed in in unison, and surrounded Qin Yang, Li Zhao, Meng Tian and others in a fan shape.The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense.

"The Qin army camp in Jiuyuan has 30 iron armors. If only the two of us enter the camp, it will be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. May I ask what plans we can make? Now that His Majesty the First Emperor is on the verge of death, Qin Yang is ordered to protect the imperial edict for thousands of miles, everyone. If you don't think about my hard work, it's fine, but you are still accused of coercion, what is the law?" Qin Yang originally had a temper that would rather bend than bend, and he had swallowed his anger for half a day, but seeing Meng Tian oppressing others now, he couldn't help but feel angry Chong, you will no longer be polite when you speak.

"Stop talking nonsense, why do you say that you are the emperor's special envoy without a ceremonial guard, token, or official seal? The so-called imperial edict you brought with you is not lawful at all. How can I believe you when there are so many doubts?" Meng Tian was angry. Soaring to the sky, he rebuked loudly.Maybe it's because of "concern leads to chaos", Meng Tian, ​​who has always been calm and prudent, has been troubled by everything in recent days, especially Fusu's depression and numbness, which made him almost lose his correct judgment on things.Seeing Qin Yang's refusal to admit his "crime" at this moment, Meng Tian was already furious, so he actually ignored Qin Yang's words that "His Majesty the First Emperor is dying".

"Qin Yang is not talking nonsense, God can testify. The general is deeply favored by the emperor, he doesn't think about state affairs, but only cares about trivial matters, how pedantic and stubborn!" Qin Yang did not back down.

"You..." Meng Tian has been in a high position for decades, how has he ever been reprimanded so directly, and he was stunned for a while.

"What are you talking about with him? Take it down first and talk later! I'll torture him later, but I'm not afraid that he won't recruit!" Xin Yi, the commander of the left army of the infantry behind Meng Tian, ​​had a reckless and irritable character, and he was already very impatient. With a sound of "swipe", he drew his long sword across the incense table and stabbed at Qin Yang.
