When Qin Yang and Li Zhao, led by Kong Gang and others, arrived outside General Meng Tian's cabin, Kong Gang raised his hands and saluted, saying: "Special envoy, please wait a moment. Someone will bring you in. I'll take my leave."
Qin Yang knew that Kong Gang had to go out on patrol, so he didn't care and said: "General, please excuse me."
As soon as Kong left, a guard led Qin Yang into Meng Tian's cabin.
After Qin Yang checked in, he looked around and saw: Meng Tian was sitting upright on the commander's desk. The chief man on the left side of the commander's desk looked somewhat similar to the First Emperor. He must be the eldest son Fusu, and he should have been invited by Meng Tian who arrived early.
Come over; the second seat is the deputy general Wang Li, and the other seats on the left and right are the generals of the various armies. There are more than ten people in the hall. Except for Fusu, all the people present are neatly dressed in bright armor.
An incense table has been set up in the middle of the main tent, which must have been used to receive imperial edicts.
Qin Yang signaled Li Zhao to stay behind and be on guard, then he walked unhurriedly to the incense table. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the two of them whisper in surprise almost at the same time: "Huh?"
The ones who spoke were Meng Tian and Fu Su. When they first arrived at the pass outside the mountain, Qin Yang kept bowing his head. Meng Tian hardly looked at the emperor's envoy with unknown origin, so he did not see Qin Yang's appearance clearly.
Looking face to face at this moment, Meng Tian was inexplicably shocked: "Who is this Qin Yang? Why does he look so similar to His Majesty the Emperor? Is he a prince? No, I know all of your Majesty's dozen princes. Are there any that I haven't seen before?
The prince? Could it be that he is a descendant of the royal family?" Meng Tian, who was full of doubts, looked at Fusu with inquiring eyes, but Fusu was also smiling bitterly and shaking his head in confusion.
In an instant, Meng Tian's uneasiness increased even more, "Could it be that the emperor intends to take away my and Fusu's military power in Jiuyuan and replace him with this person? If so, how can I, the Qin Dynasty, be safe?...Don't be impatient, let's explore first.
Find out the details of this person and then see what the edict says before making a decision!" Meng Tian thought in his mind and made up his mind in a moment. He slowly walked down the handsome case and came to the incense case.
"May I ask when the special envoy received the emperor's order to deliver the imperial edict?" Meng Tian asked.
"The morning before yesterday!"
"Who made the edict?"
"Made by His Majesty himself."
"Zhao Gao, why didn't Li Si control it?"
"These two people are not allowed to be heard from!"
"Oh?..." Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Your Majesty actually trusts you so much. Could it be that the special envoy is a soldier from a branch of the royal family?"
"No, I have only met His Majesty once." Qin Yang did not hide anything.
"Is this really unreasonable? Did the special envoy deceive me, Meng Tian, into a three-year-old child?" Meng Tian said angrily.
"Everything below is true, why are you deceiving others?" Qin Yang remained unmoved.
"...That's it, that's it, please envoy to issue an edict!" Meng Tian's face turned pale and he said coldly.
"Please envoy the special envoy to declare the imperial edict!" Fusu Wangli and the military commanders also left their seats one after another and stood in front of the incense table and said in unison.
Qin Yang did not hesitate when he saw this. He took out the two copper tube secret edicts from his arms, held them in both hands, and handed them to Meng Tian and Fu Su. After the package was stolen in Jinyang the day before yesterday, Qin Yang no longer dared to send the First Emperor's
The edict was kept together with the money and belongings, but kept close to his chest at all times, so it was very convenient for him to take it out at this moment.
"Please ask your Majesty the General to check the edict." Qin Yang understood that he had to check the edict before issuing it.
Meng Tian did not pick up the copper pipe, only glanced at it roughly, and his face became more and more gloomy. Fusu looked confused and surprised. According to imperial practice, the highest level of top-secret letters, such as the emperor's secret edict, should be called
It is stored in a copper box called the "Dense Golden Chamber". On the outside of the copper box are two white silk seals with the emperor's seal. Inside the copper box is another copper box. The number of small copper boxes is determined according to the specifications of the letter.
The highest level can have as many as four small copper boxes. The innermost one is a small wooden box that is difficult to damage with a knife, fire, or water. It is extremely solid and has complex hidden buttons. Only the special envoy knows how to open the small wooden box. Letters
It is stored in this small wooden box, which means that this "Dense Golden Chamber" can have up to six floors. Although Meng Tian did not make and send high-standard top-secret letters by himself, he had received many, so he knew the rules inside.
. Now he saw that Qin Yang actually brought two copper pipes, but they were called the emperor's secret edicts. Coupled with the previous doubts, all this made Meng Tian feel an unknown fire burning in his heart.
Although Qin Yang was familiar with the history of the Qin Kingdom, it was just history. No matter how clear the historical records were, they could not record in detail the sealing and issuance system of the Qin Empire. The first emperor, Yingzheng, took charge of the overall situation of the empire and only cared about the overall situation of the empire.
He was busy opening up territories and resisting foreign enemies, working hard to secure the world, and he was so busy for decades. It is said that even if he favored a concubine and satisfied his physical needs, he was in a hurry. How could he know such trivial "little things"? So that day
The First Emperor and Qin Yang, two people who knew little about the secret document system, suddenly came together to concoct these two edicts. At the time, no one thought there was anything wrong with this, but now it seemed that the trouble was serious.
Qin Yang was very alert. When he saw Meng Tian's face was gloomy and angry and refused to check the edict, he immediately understood that there must be something wrong with the encryption of the edict. Qin Yang thought about it briefly and made a decisive decision to read out the edict himself first. He believed that Meng Tian and Fu
As long as Su listened to the edict and found that the content of the edict was not detrimental to him, then all problems would be solved. But just when Qin Yang was about to open the edict that he had marked, "The soldiers belong to Meng Tian..."
, the furious Meng Tian took the lead in attacking.
"Bold Qin Yang, you dare to forge an imperial edict and sneak into our Jiuyuan camp. What are your plans?"
"Tell me! What's your plan?" the generals shouted after them with astonishing momentum.
The soldiers guarding outside the tent heard something strange inside the tent, and they all rushed in, forming a fan shape and surrounding Qin Yang, Li Zhao, and even Meng Tian. The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense.
"There are 300,000 armored men in the Qin army camp in Jiuyuan. The two of us can enter the camp like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. What can we do? Now His Majesty the First Emperor's life is at stake. Qin Yang is in danger and has been ordered to protect the edict from thousands of miles away.
It's fine that you don't care about our hard work, but you still accused me of being an imperial edict. Where is the justice?" Qin Yang originally had an unyielding temper. He had been swallowing his anger for half a day, but now he saw Meng Tian using his power to suppress others, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
If you get angry, you will no longer be polite when speaking.
"Don't talk nonsense. You said you are the emperor's special envoy. Why do you have neither a ceremonial guard nor a token nor an official seal? The so-called edict you brought has no legal basis at all. How can I trust you when there are so many doubts?" Meng Tian was angry.
Soaring to the sky, he shouted loudly. Perhaps it is "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 has almost made him lose his correct judgment on things. At this moment, Meng Tian
Seeing that Qin Yang refused to admit his "crime", he was so angry that he ignored Qin Yang's words that "His Majesty the First Emperor's life is at stake".
"Qin Yang is not talking nonsense, God can prove it. The general is deeply favored by the emperor and does not think about state affairs, but only cares about trivial details. How ignorant and stubborn he is!" Qin Yang did not give in.
"You..." Meng Tian has been in a high position for decades. Never has he been so directly reprimanded. He was so angry that he was dumbfounded for a moment.
"What are you talking about with him? Take it first and then talk about it! You can torture him again later, but you are not afraid that he will not attack!" Xin Yi, the commander of the infantry left army behind Meng Tian, has a reckless and irritable personality. He was already very impatient, but now he saw Meng Tian being humiliated again.
With a "swipe" sound, he drew his long sword and crossed the incense table and stabbed Qin Yang.
