Chapter 3: The imperial chariot’s personal expedition
('Ying Zheng wiped his beard, the traces of time left wrinkles, a playful smile appeared on his face, and then shouted loudly: "Here comes."
"I'm here." Zhao Gao hurriedly ran in from the outside and knelt down on the ground without daring to raise his head.
"Where are you?" Yingzheng asked.
"Your Majesty, you have arrived at Taiyuan County, the old place of Zhao State." Zhao Gaohan said coldly.
"There must be no mistakes in sending the order to Xianyang!" Ying Zheng picked up a bamboo slips and said with a slight frown.
"I have received the order." Zhao Gao bowed his head again, slowly retreated, stood behind the huge carriage, and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty has an order, and you must not make any mistakes when you head to Xianyang."
After announcing the decree, Zhao Gao thought about His Majesty's intention of returning to Xianyang in such a hurry, with a gloomy look on his face.
Just as he was thinking, Ying Zheng's voice came from the carriage again: "Xuan Li Si, come in."
"Your Majesty has a decree to announce the audience of Prime Minister Li." Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao immediately put aside his distracting thoughts and shouted loudly.
Ying Zheng looked at the memorial in the bamboo tube and was speechless. Damn Qin Wen! He didn't know a few words. He looked at a few words intermittently and tried to figure it out. He was also wrong, so he could only declare this Qin Dynasty's number one.
The Prime Minister came in.
"Your Majesty, Li Si, pays homage to your Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live the Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years." Li Si walked in and saw Ying Zheng frowning as he read the memorial. Did something go wrong in his heart again? Riot
?He has some ups and downs.
"Get back on your feet!" Ying Zheng placed the memorial on the desk and said with a serious face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Si stood up carefully.
"Li Si, I am not feeling well, please help me read the memorial." Ying Zheng said with a trace of fatigue on his face.
"I obey the order." Li Si was not polite, because this was not the first time His Majesty summoned him to do this. Especially in recent years, His Majesty's health has become worse and worse every day, and it has become more frequent.
Li Si carefully picked up the memorial from the desk. Just as he was about to think about it, there was the sound of fighting outside.
"Catch the assassin and escort him." Zhao Gao shouted loudly from outside the carriage, and his sharp voice could be heard far away.
Ying Zheng showed a trace of displeasure on his face and looked at Li Si and said, "Follow me out and see how a young man dares to offend Tianwei." After saying this, he walked out first without waiting for Li Si to speak.
Seeing that he could no longer dissuade him, Li Si could only follow Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng looked at dozens of highly skilled warriors in the distance being surrounded by layers of soldiers wearing fine armor and holding sharp blades. He looked at Li Sidao next to him and said, "What force do these thieves belong to?"
"Your Majesty, looking at the clothes and appearance, he should be a warrior of the Mohists' Guild." Li Si stroked his beard and said with disdain as he looked at the dozens of Mohists in the distance.
"Oh? Are they those Mohists who claim to be chivalrous and righteous all day long and save the world?" Ying Zheng looked playful. He has never had a good impression of these Mohists. The nature of a group of civil rebel organizations, the White Lotus Sect, and the Tiandihui is actually
the same.
"Reporting to your Majesty, it is these hypocrites who have been evil-minded for so many years and have been trying to assassinate your Majesty and disrupt the world." Li Si said without hesitation. He has always been loyal to your majesty and will definitely slander anything that is detrimental to your majesty.
Endless.
"Well, shoot them all. The Great Qin Dynasty does not need such traitors who disturb the peace." Ying Zheng said coldly with a hint of murderous intent on his face.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Gao immediately said to the messenger, "Your Majesty has a decree to kill all the rebels with random arrows."
As soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, hundreds of crossbowmen approached in a neat and orderly manner, bending down to draw their bows. In just an instant, all the dozens of Mohists were shot into a hornet's nest, and their corpses lay on the spot.
"Li Si, you said, since I have unified the world and the people of Li are no longer subject to war and persecution, why do they want me to die so much?" Ying Zheng looked at the corpses of dozens of people in the distance and suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart.
"Reporting to your majesty, it is not a pity for such a person to die. Your majesty, please put the country first and take care of yourself. Only with your majesty's long-term peace and stability can the people live and work in peace and contentment." Li Si saw that Ying Zheng's tone was a little sad, and immediately comforted him, although your majesty kills people like crazy.
, but those who have always been killed are lawless and bad people. They have always been treated with great importance by the important ministers who have been following them. Back then, in order to block the mouth of Youyou in the world, intimidate Chao Gang, and punish Lu Xiang to death, he secretly felt sad for a long time, but never in front of outsiders.
Just performance.
As a king, he cares about the world and benefits the common people, and he must reluctantly give up on things he knows he cannot do. For decades, His Majesty has worked hard, reviewing more than 100 kilograms of memorials every day, and is personally involved in all major and minor affairs across the country. Li Si really admires him
Incomparable, extremely worshipful.
At this time, Ying Zheng looked at the rows of mighty soldiers in fine uniforms and distinctive black armors, holding halberds and swords at their waists. He felt a sense of pride in his heart, and he waved his hands to the soldiers.
"Long live your Majesty, long live, long live the Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years." All the soldiers knelt down in unison and worshiped enthusiastically. The sound shook the heaven and the earth and could be heard ten miles away.
"Since I succeeded to the throne, I have swept through six countries, devoured mountains and rivers, conquered Baiyue in the south, and attacked the Xiongnu in the north. Such meritorious deeds are indispensable to all our officers and men," Ying Zheng said impassionedly.
"Your Majesty is so majestic that he is invincible. He has received orders from heaven and will live forever." All the soldiers were very excited. Your Majesty actually praised them. What a great honor it was. They were your Majesty's personal guards. Although they often saw your Majesty, they were very...
I rarely hear His Majesty speak, let alone praise them.
"Ha! Ha! The Qin world needs you to expand, the country needs you to defend the country, and I also need you to open up the territory and expand the territory, follow me to unify the rivers and mountains, and purge the Xuanyu." Yingzheng's blood was burning, this was something he had never felt before.
Atmosphere. He is determined to lead these mighty warriors to unify the entire earth and establish an unprecedented interstellar empire. He will lead them to unite to seek immortality, join the colorful interstellar empire struggle for hegemony, and promote the power of China.
"The Iron Cavalry of the Qin Dynasty will be conquered in the attack and won in the battle." All the soldiers said with a murderous look on their faces.
"Okay, here's the order, we will take charge of Xianyang." After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he said to Li Si and Zhao Gao, "You come in with me." Then he walked into the carriage without looking back.
The entire endless team, following the orders of His Majesty the Emperor from the herald, accelerated as a whole and headed straight for Xianyang. Horses neighed along the five-foot-wide plank road, and their footsteps rumbled in neat rows, rushing forward like a long flying dragon.
"Zhao Gao has drafted the decree." Ying Zheng looked at the pig-headed Zhao Gao next to him, and then said, "By the fate of heaven, the emperor ordered Li Si to hold the emperor's sword and manage the world's affairs on my behalf, up to the three ministers and nine ministers.
"Those who dare to disobey, from traders to foot soldiers, can be killed first and then punished. I will grant amnesty to the world, reduce taxes, exempt from labor, stop the construction of palaces, imperial mausoleums, and the Great Wall, and cultivate one's health for ten years."
Ying Zheng paused and continued: "I want to stay in seclusion for ten years and lead the whole country to become immortals. Everyone will be immortal and prosperous every year. There will be tigers and wolves all over the world. After ten years of cultivation, I will prepare for the day. I will ride the wind and waves and have a hundred halberds."
Ten thousand people, the great Qin Dynasty, is so powerful that it shakes the world. In the whole world, is it the land of the king? Is it the shore of the land? Is it the king's ministers? The land of the gods are all my people."
"Li Si accepts the order." After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he sat on the dragon couch and said to Li Si.
"I accept the decree." Li Si knelt down, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and said respectfully.
"You must hurry up immediately, return to Xianyang, and promulgate the imperial edict without any mistakes." Ying Zheng said in a voice that left no room for doubt.
Then Ying Zheng told Li Si a lot of medicinal materials and asked Li Si to find someone to collect them before letting him leave quickly.
Just as Li Si left, there was the sound of panicked horse hooves and a cool cry from outside: "Urgent report from the border."
"Urgent news from the border." A fast horse galloped towards Ying Zheng's dragon chariot pulled by nine horses. All the soldiers blocking his way moved out of the way in an orderly manner.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border." Zhao Gao reminded from the side.
Ying Zheng glanced at him. He was not deaf, so he could hear such a loud sound. He said to Zhao Gao, "Go and present it."
"I obey the order." Zhao Gao stepped back step by step, moving very lightly. After a while, he came back again, walked up with a bamboo tube in both hands, took out the bamboo slip memorial from the bamboo tube, and said to Ying Zheng; "
His Majesty."
"Read it." Ying Zheng glared at him fiercely. Did he know that I didn't know Qin Wen and deliberately made me angry? Ying Zheng thought fiercely in his heart. It seems that he should find time to learn Qin Wen.
When Zhao Gao saw His Majesty's fierce eyes, he shuddered immediately and felt very aggrieved. Didn't you always teach us eunuchs not to participate in politics and never let us watch the memorials? Of course, he could only think about it in his heart and did not dare to
speak out.
"The Goryeo Kingdom raised 100,000 troops, invaded the borders on a large scale, burned, killed and plundered. The people were in dire straits. The bandit army was powerful and our army was invincible. I hope your majesty will decide the situation." Zhao Gao became more and more frightened as he thought about it. Looking at Ying Zheng's gloomy face, his voice became a little bit...
tremble.
"Trash, pass on my decree, order Meng Yi to lead 200,000 troops to Liaodong to quell the chaos. Li Si is responsible for mobilizing the logistics and transporting food and grass. I want to personally conquer the barbarians in one fell swoop. Pass on my oracle, go straight to Liaodong, and the whole army rushes
, Traveling hundreds of miles a day, there must be no mistakes." Ying Zheng said with a murderous look on his face, he slapped the desk hard, and was furious. How dare a small barbarian land invade our great Qin Dynasty.');
