Chapter 217 Ying Zheng meets Xiang Yu
Fan Zeng said: "To be honest, we are here to seek refuge with the general. We also hope that the general can introduce Yu'er to the First Emperor."
"Haha..." Meng Ao laughed loudly, "It seems that this is your real purpose."
"The general is wise." Fan Zeng admitted directly, knowing that denying it would be useless.
If Meng Ao couldn't even guess this, then how could he possibly command thousands of troops?
Meng Ao suppressed his smile and said: "If it were before, this matter would have been very easy to solve. However, it is a little difficult now."
"The difficulty the general mentioned is the imperial examination system?" Fan Zeng said.
Meng Ao nodded and said: "That's right, His Majesty has canceled the recommendation system and switched to the imperial examination system.
Moreover, I have not been in court for a long time and have been idle at home for some years. If I suddenly recommend you to Your Majesty, I am afraid that someone will use this matter to boycott the imperial examination system.
Since your husband has seen things so thoroughly, he shouldn’t have made such a request. "
Fan Zeng said with a smile: "Don't worry, General. We will not ask the General to recommend Yu'er to the First Emperor. We only hope that the General will invite the First Emperor to visit the Meng Mansion."
"I understand what you mean. Sir is indeed resourceful and worthy of being Xiang Yu's second father." Meng Aoyi pointed out.
"Thank you for the compliment, General."
"What I said is the truth and I don't mean it as a compliment. Do you two have a place to live in Xianyang City?" Meng Ao asked.
"We live in an inn." Xiang Yu replied.
"It's too troublesome to stay in an inn, so let's stay in Meng Mansion." Meng Ao said, "I can't be sure when His Majesty will come.
In addition, I suggest that you go to Mobei to attack the Xiongnu. In this way, you will have military merit, and it will be easier for me, Xiang Yu, to ask for credit. "
Xiang Yu said: "It's just a Xiongnu, I will kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind."
"The Huns already have General Meng Tian going forward, and our going there is just the icing on the cake and will not have much effect." Fan Zeng said, "It is better to go to Baiyue, although the land of Baiyue has been occupied by Qin.
However, the mountain people of Baiyue are still eyeing Qin's army. A mistake may lead to a complete failure in the attack on Baiyue. "
"You want to go to Baiyue?" Meng Ao said in shock.
"I wonder if the general can recommend us to go there?" Fan Zeng asked.
"Okay." Meng Ao nodded and said, "It's just that I still think it's better for you to go to Mobei."
"We have already thought about it, General, it is better not to persuade him." Fan Zeng said.
"In this case, I won't force you. You will stay in my house for a month. After a month, if His Majesty has not come here, you will go to Baiyue."
"good."
…
After the palace banquet, Meng Yi left the palace and returned to his own house. Before he could return to his room, he was called by Meng Ao.
Meng Ao looked at the slightly drunk Meng Yi, his face darkened, and he said, "Why did you drink so much?"
"Your Majesty gave it to me, so I dare not not drink it." Meng Yi said, "Grandpa, why don't you rest even though it's so late?"
Meng Ao said: "Two people came to the house today. One is a descendant of Xiang Yan of Chu State. His surname is Xiang and his courtesy name is Yu, also known as Xiang Yu.
The other one is his sub-father, Fan Zeng. "
"It's just Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng. I know them two, and Great Qin died at their hands." Meng Yi said casually.
"What did you say?" Meng Ao stood up in shock.
Meng Yi was also startled by Meng Ao's roar, and he woke up completely. Seeing Meng Ao's shocked expression, he asked: "Grandpa, why are you here? Shouldn't I be talking to His Majesty and the civil and military officials?" Does the minister celebrate the production of potatoes and sweet potatoes?”
Meng Ao directly grabbed Meng Yi's arms and said with a gloomy face: "Tell me, is what you just said true?"
"What is true? Grandpa, what did I just say?" Meng Yi had forgotten what he just said.
Meng Ao knew very well that Meng Yi, his grandson, had something to say. He couldn't remember what he said just now, so he reminded him: "You said Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng were the murderers of Qin."
Meng Yi was shocked and immediately said: "Grandpa, please forget everything I just said."
"Huh?" Meng Ao let go of his hand and frowned slightly, "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Grandpa, you have to remember that His Majesty knew about this but did not send anyone to arrest them. This shows that they are talents and His Majesty does not want to give up on them.
In addition, only a few people knew about this matter. Since His Majesty did not let others know, it would be better for my grandfather to forget it. "Meng Yi reminded.
"Okay, I don't care about what you just said, but Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng are in our house now. What are your plans? Will you recommend them to the First Emperor or throw them to Mobei or Baiyue?" Meng Ao asked.
"You have to ask His Majesty about this matter." Meng Yi said.
"Okay, the two of them are at the house. You will inform His Majesty about this tomorrow."
"promise."
The next day, Meng Yi went to the palace early in the morning to meet Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng was very curious about this and met Meng Yi.
"See Your Majesty." Meng Yi saluted Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "No need to be polite, why are you so anxious to see me?"
Meng Yi replied: "Reporting to your majesty, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng joined my grandfather's disciples. They hope that my grandfather can introduce them to your majesty."
"Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng are here? Interesting." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I want to meet them." 33
"Your Majesty, Xiang Yu is brave and invincible. Is it not safe for Your Majesty to go see them?"
"It doesn't matter, you go and bring Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng to me now. I really want to see who the future overlord of Western Chu will be." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"No. Wei Chen will go now."
Meng Yi hurriedly returned to the mansion, met with Meng Ao directly, and told the story about the First Emperor's sight of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng.
"Your Majesty is going to see Xiang Yu so soon?" Meng Ao was surprised.
"Grandpa, this is not something we have to worry about. Don't keep His Majesty waiting in a hurry."
Meng Ao said immediately: "Yes. I will take you to see Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu now."
Then Meng Ao took Meng Yi to see Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng.
At this time, Fan Zeng was teaching Xiang Yu some strategic matters. When he saw Meng Ao coming, he immediately stood up and saluted.
"General."
"No need to be polite." Meng Ao said, then pointed at Meng Yi and said, "He is my grandson Meng Yi. I told him about your affairs yesterday.
He went to see His Majesty early in the morning. Now His Majesty has learned about the two of you and wants to see you. Now you can follow Meng Yi to the palace to see His Majesty. "
"So fast?"
Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng were both shocked and looked at each other, wondering what Ying Zheng was planning.
Meng Yi said: "Your Majesty wants to see you two. Please don't keep your Majesty waiting. Come with me to the palace to see your Majesty now."
Some people died, but not completely...
