Chapter 82 Announcement to the World
"What do you think of this?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Your Majesty," Li Si said, "I think this plan is feasible. The current Xiongnu Khan is called Touman Khan, and Ruijin has withdrawn from the Hetao.
But he had no way to take away the Xiongnu people, and there were still a lot of Xiongnu people in the Hetao area.
These Xiongnu people are what Touman and his companions rely on when they come back.
As long as we gather these Xiongnu people and let them submit to the Qin Dynasty, without the Touman army to rely on, we will not dare to act rashly. "
"No." Feng Quji said, "Your Majesty, if the puppet disobeys his orders and becomes another Touman Khan, wouldn't that mean that our Great Qin will have another great enemy of the Huns."
"No more." Meng Tian said, "I will not let puppets control the army. I will also send merchants to do business with the Huns and give them the daily necessities they need. In this way, the Huns can get what they need without plundering. needs.
Prime Minister Feng, do you think they will betray Great Qin again? I'm afraid they will fight to the death whoever deals with Da Qin. "
Feng Quji frowned slightly and said, "Doing business with the Huns, what business is there to do with them?"
"Cows, sheep and horses." Meng Tian said, "Great Qin needs Xiongnu war horses, Xiongnu cattle and sheep. In addition, Great Qin can also send caravans deep into the Western Regions. I heard that there are many countries in the Western Regions."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I have decided to use Meng Tian's strategy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Meng Tian responded.
"Don't be anxious, Xie Zhen. You said there are many countries in the Western Region. I will leave the task of exploring the Western Region to you."
"Promise, Weichen will definitely complete the mission." Meng Tian said angrily.
"Okay, you can set off for the border pass." Ying Zheng ordered.
"promise."
Meng Tian turned around and left the court. When he returned to his house, he left Xianyang City with some soldiers.
The Meng family army has been at the border, presiding over the construction of the Great Wall, and has not returned to Xianyang City, so Meng Tian can go to the border alone.
In the court room.
Feng Quji felt strange when he saw that Ying Zheng had decided on the Huns so quickly.
He felt that this idea was not thought up by Meng Tian, but that Qi Ren, which made Feng Quji even more curious about what kind of person Qi Ren was.
Not only did he produce so many farm tools, he also gave Meng Tian such a good idea.
Later, Ying Zheng retreated from the court after discussing some matters with other ministers.
After Ying Zheng returned to the palace, he listened to the eunuch's report and asked Meng Yi to see him.
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment: "What does this kid want to see me for now? Has he caught the assassin? Tell him to come in."
"promise."
After a while, Meng Yi saw Ying Zheng.
"See Your Majesty."
"Caught the assassin?" Ying Zheng asked.
Meng Yi immediately apologized and said: "The humble minister deserves to die. The assassin has not been caught yet, so please punish him."
"Since the assassin was not caught, why did you come to me?" Ying Zheng asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, in the court, Wei Chen heard that Your Majesty wanted to watch a demonstration of farm tools. Wei Chen thought this was very inappropriate," Meng Yi said.
"Today, the assassins have not been caught, and Wei Chen has no other clues except that the bows and arrows they used are Korean bows and arrows.
Wei Chen was worried that an assassin would mix into the crowd, which would be detrimental to His Majesty. "
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes sense. Search everyone who comes in to watch.
Anyone who commits assassination will be caught by me. If there is resistance, he will be killed on the spot. "
"No." Meng Yi responded.
When Ying Zheng saw that Meng Yi had no intention of retreating, he asked, "What? Do you have anything else to say?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty. The minister and my brother have actually discussed a countermeasure to lure the snake out of its hole and lure out the assassins." Meng Yi said.
"Weichen has deliberately revealed a false news about where His Majesty will go, and then his brother will pretend to be His Majesty to lure out the assassins and kill them all.
Now His Majesty is going to watch the demonstration of farm tools. Wei Chen is worried that the assassin will not believe Wei Chen's false news and instead go to the farmland to ambush His Majesty.
So Wei Chen dared to ask Wei Chen to pretend to be His Majesty tomorrow, deceive the assassins, and kill them all, while His Majesty was hidden in the crowd. "
"Haha... You Meng Yi, Qin An said that your resourcefulness is not inferior to that of Li Si. It is true. You are brave and resourceful. You are a rare talent. You must not die so early." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Meng Yi frowned slightly and asked, "What does your Majesty mean?"
"Haha... Meng Tian is indeed loyal. He has never told you about the strange person. Unlike others, he told others as soon as I told him." Ying Zheng laughed heartily.
Meng Yi was confused again, strange person, what kind of strange person, does his brother know about this strange person?
"After a while, you and I will find out when you meet this strange man." Ying Zheng said.
"No." Meng Yi responded.
"As for luring the snake out of the hole, you don't have to pretend to be me. I'll go there in person. I want to see who dares to murder me." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, exuding the aura of an emperor, making Meng Yi lower his head.
"Go down. Go find Li Si and tell the truth about the day I went to the countryside to see a demonstration of farm tools."
"promise."
After Meng Yi left the palace, he went to find Li Si. After hearing this, Li Si was worried about his majesty's safety, and made an appointment with Meng Yi, and then spread the news.
There are yamen commissioners who are shouting in the streets and alleys of Xianyang City: Prime Minister Li Si has invented new farm tools that can increase Daqin's grain output several times. The farm tools will be tested tomorrow. Everyone is invited to watch.
Just this sentence immediately attracted the attention of countless people in Xianyang City.
Some people think this is false, some people think this is true, and Da Qin will become stronger and stronger.
Zhang Liang also got the news and went directly to Uncle Fu.
"Uncle Fu, have you heard?"
"Young master, are you talking about farm tools?" Uncle Fu said, "I think it's impossible. If it were doubled, no one would believe it."
Zhang Liang nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed the case. I'm afraid this is to attract those anti-Qin righteous people. No, I have to organize this."
"Sir, since you already know this is a trap, why are you still in danger?" Fu Bo asked.
Zhang Liang sneered and said: "Uncle Fu, it is impossible for Ying Zheng to arrest me. If he spreads the news, many people will go to watch it. As long as I blend in with the crowd and do nothing, then it won't work." Something will happen."
"But……"
"Okay, Uncle Fu, don't worry, I won't bring any helpers with me this time.
By the way, Uncle Fu, do we have enough money to buy a house outside the city? "Zhang Liang quickly changed the topic.
Uncle Fu was indeed fooled and asked, "What use does the master have for the land and the house?"
"Responding to the imperial court's call, since it is said that it can increase food production several times, then let's believe it for the time being. It will be easier for me to gain the trust of officials without being discovered." Zhang Liang said.
