Half a month later, Wang Meng's mansion, inner room.
Compared with the high-spirited Prime Minister of Qin half a month ago, Wang Meng today seems to have aged twenty years suddenly. His face is full of wrinkles, his hair is gray, and his eyes are sunken deeply. His eyes were originally radiant.
, now it has become so empty, there is no life in sight, the room is filled with a strong smell of medicine, and there are one or two low sobbing sounds, the life of the Prime Minister of Qin seems to be burning,
Like a candle that comes and goes, it will go out at any time.
A smile suddenly flashed across Wang Meng's face, and he said to Fu Jian, who was sitting in front of his bed with tears streaming down his face: "King of Heaven, don't be sad, don't be sad. There is no banquet in the world that never ends for you and me, the king and the ministers.
There's always a time to say goodbye, and it's now."
Fu Jian cried and shook his head, but he held Wang Meng's already withered hand tightly: "No, Jing Lue, don't abandon me, I don't know how to live without you! It's my fault, I don't
I shouldn't have treated you like that, I shouldn't have favored Murong Chui, I'm going to order him to be killed, I just beg you not to leave!"
Wang Meng sighed leisurely: "King of Heaven, don't be like this. He showed his behavior that day. You could have punished him, but you missed the opportunity. There is no reason to kill him now. If you kill him by force, it will only make people angry.
Everyone in the world is dissatisfied. I know that you, you ordered an amnesty for me, but I still have to advise you that this, this is not in line with etiquette and law. Only, only when the king and the queen mother pass away..."
Fu Jian yelled: "Fuck etiquette, I am the King of Heaven, and whoever I want will live. Jinglue, you founded the Great Qin with your own hands. Your importance to the Great Qin is more than the Queen Mother, the late Emperor, and even more."
Please let me go! If you can get better from your illness, I can do whatever you want!"
Wang Meng sighed, closed his eyes, and murmured: "Life and death are naturally destined, can't it be changed by human power? Over the years, I have been on an expedition to the east and west, assisting the King of Heaven in reorganizing the court, and there is not a day that goes by that I don't work hard. This body has long been
No way, if I didn’t want to see the Qin Kingdom of the Heavenly King collapse with my own eyes, how could I have managed to hold on until now?!”
"When I was young, I liked to talk about mysteries and talk about Taoism. I also got into the bad habit of taking Wu Shi Powder. When I was a young man, I only felt that I was high-spirited, but now my body is getting worse. These toxins have accumulated in my body, and it is difficult to save them."
, This is my fate, the King of Heaven must not be sad!"
Fu Jian's tears welled up like a flood again: "Oh my god, why are you so cruel, why do you want to take away my view!"
Wang Meng's eyes suddenly flashed: "King of Heaven, you have been ignoring state affairs these days and staying here with me. This is wrong. It is not a pity for me to die, but the world of Da Qin and its tens of millions of people need you to continue.
To manage and take care of, how can one despise all the people in the world because of one king's fierceness?!"
Fu Jian lowered his head in silence for a long time before sighing: "The imperial court has its own rules and regulations, and a complete operating system you left behind. Even without me, nothing will happen. Jing Lue, don't be too pessimistic. Five stones will spread the poison."
It is not hopeless. I heard that there is a secret technique in the Western Regions that can cure it. I immediately ordered Lu Guang, who is going to the Western Regions, to speed up and find it for me quickly..."
Wang Meng shook his head: "How can there be any medicine in this world that can bring the dead back to life? If there really is such a magical medicine, then people in the Western Regions should also be immortal. But they are just rumors. The Western Regions are too far away from the Central Plains, and the Han Dynasty has three connections.
After all, few Central Plains people have set foot on this land for hundreds of years, so such ridiculous rumors appear. This time Lu Guang's expedition to the Western Regions is to open up this connection and reopen the Silk Road. As long as the Western Regions are included in the Central Plains
The states and counties in the west of Great Qin will have nothing to worry about from now on!"
Fu Jian closed his eyes in pain: "Is there really no way to save Jing Lue?!"
Wang Meng sat up with difficulty, looked into Fu Jian's eyes, and his expression became extremely serious: "King of Heaven, what you should consider now is not to save me Wang Meng, but to save your country of Qin. Now my mind is abnormal.
I am awake, this is a reflection, maybe if I fall asleep next time, I will not wake up again, so these are my last words to you, please listen to me!"
Fu Jian curled his lips and was about to speak when Wang Meng's hand suddenly grasped his, and his voice became extremely firm: "Please feel free to listen to me!"
Fu Jian nodded seriously: "What you say, I will listen carefully and do my best!"
Wang Meng's eyes sparkled: "First of all, please give up the idea of conquering the Jin Kingdom in the south. The world has been in chaos for nearly a hundred years. The North and the South have been divided for just over a century. Since ancient times, the customs of the North and the South have been very different. Northerners cannot become kings of the Central Plains.
In Jingyang, it is impossible for the Wu people to sail out of the Central Plains to fight for the world. This is the real reason why the world has not been unified in the past hundred years!"
"Although the north is strong and the south is weak, the current Jin State's monarchs and ministers are still united. There are good ministers inside and great generals outside. The soldiers and people regard the country as the last hope of the Han people. Without external help, they will fight among themselves and be unable to go north. And once the Qin Dynasty
If they raise an army to destroy the Jin Dynasty, they will fight to the death to resist."
Fu Jian nodded: "But after all, our Qin army has millions of people. When Jin destroyed Wu, wasn't it the same as today? Why can't Jinglue always see this?"
Wang Meng sighed and shook his head: "The state of Jin replaced Wei and destroyed Shu. It was internally unified and the people were stable. However, the monarchs and ministers of the state of Wu were separated and lost Jingzhou. The natural barrier of the Yangtze River was no longer enough to rely on. This was the reason why Jin destroyed Wu. But
The Great Qin is not like this now. Various ethnic groups in the Central Plains live together. The defeated and conquered foreign ethnic groups such as Xianbei, Qiang, Xiongnu, and Jie are all lurking in wait. When the country is stable, they do not dare to cause chaos. Once the frontline war is unfavorable, or it drags on for a long time,
, there will definitely be chaos within, I hope the King of Heaven will remember this!"
Fu Jian sighed: "We have discussed these words many times, but this time, Jinglue, I promise you that we will put aside the Southern Expedition for the time being!"
A trace of relief flashed in Wang Meng's eyes and he nodded: "King of Heaven, the second thing is what I just said. The real enemies of Great Qin are not the Jin Kingdom in the south, but the conquered Hu people in the north.
Alien, you are a Di tribe, and you are also a ethnic group that has mixed with the Han people for a long time and has the highest degree of Chineseization. Since you came to the throne, you have implemented benevolent government and are no different from the Han people, so the Di people and the Han people will support you."
"But the living habits of other Hu people are completely different from those of the Han people. They don't engage in farming, and they still think about nomadic robbery. This habit cannot be changed unless they are integrated for a hundred or two hundred years! But these Hu people are completely different from the Han people.
Before they became farming Han people, the Jin people in the south would also regard the people of Qin as alien barbarians and were unwilling to unify. Therefore, the Xianbei and Qiang people who have a hatred of destroying the country are your real enemies. You must realize that
this point!"
