Chapter 219 Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng surrender
"Father?" Xiang Yu looked at Fan Zeng in shock.
He never dreamed that Ying Zheng's edict would be so powerful.
Fan Zeng shook his head and said: "Yu'er, now that His Majesty has let us go, we should be happy. Now that His Majesty has reused us, we should feel honored.
Why don't you thank your Majesty quickly? "
Xiang Yu's face showed displeasure, but he could see some conspiracy in Fan Zeng's eyes.
He was too familiar with this look and knew that Fan Zeng had something to tell him.
So, Xiang Yu sighed and said, "Well, since Your Majesty thinks highly of Xiang Yu, then Xiang Yu is willing to become His Majesty's minister."
"Okay, haha..." Ying Zheng laughed, "Since you are mine, then I will tell you the position of the only woman in your life."
"My only woman?" Xiang Yu looked at Ying Zheng in astonishment.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, her name is Yu Ji, she has a stunning appearance, is good at singing and dancing, is gentle and considerate towards her lover, and is courageous and unyielding in the face of trouble.
She is the woman of your life, Xiang Yu, and you and he will fall in love at first sight.
Fan Zeng, you go down first. I want to have a few words with Xiang Yu alone. "
Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Yu, and finally at Ying Zheng, and said slowly: "Nuo."
Soon Ying Zheng and Xiang Yu were left in the hall.
Ying Zheng looked at Xiang Yu and said slowly: "Are you curious why I want to leave you alone?"
Xiang Yu nodded and said: "I am indeed very curious. I am also curious about how your Majesty knew that I had a woman? Could it be that Your Majesty has the ability to predict the future?"
Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "I don't have that ability, but my imperial master does. He knew it for five hundred years before and five hundred years later. New farm tools, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and salt-making methods were all obtained from the emperor's master. .
I also know your affairs from the Imperial Master’s mouth. If you want to see the Imperial Master, I can also arrange it.
But this time I am not talking to you about the emperor's master, but about Yu Ji in detail.
You and Yu Ji fell in love with each other at first sight. Originally, you had two obstacles in marrying Yu Ji, but now one of them is no longer an obstacle, and that is her father and brother.
Now that you are already a court official, I will protect your match and decree that you marry Yu Ji.
The second obstacle is Fan Zeng. He believes that Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes and Yu Ji will become an obstacle for Xiang Yu to achieve hegemony, so he has always disliked Yu Ji and even wanted Yu Ji's life.
However, I can help you solve this obstacle. Not only will it not hurt the father-son relationship between you and Fan Zeng, but it will also allow Yu Ji and Fan Zeng to get along harmoniously. "
"Your Majesty, please enlighten me." Xiang Yu said sincerely.
"I plan not to tell you this matter now, and you will ask me again when you need it, so that you will believe what I say." Ying Zheng said.
"There is also an Emperor's Sword owned by the Yu family. It is called the Emperor's Sword because almost all the owners of this sword were kings, and in the end they all committed suicide.
I want you to hold this sword, but I don’t want you to hold it. I am also very conflicted about this, so after you get this sword, you can do whatever you want with it. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty. After I get the Emperor's Sword, I will definitely give it to Your Majesty."
"I don't need it," Ying Zheng said, "That is an ominous sword. Believe it or not, it's up to you whether you want to use it or not. If you don't want to use it, you will destroy it.
Go down, I want to see Fan Zeng. "
"No." Xiang Yu responded.
Outside the main hall, Fan Zeng saw Meng Yi and stepped forward and asked, "Master Meng, do you know the Imperial Master?"
Meng Yi frowned slightly and said, "His Majesty told you about the Imperial Master?"
"Having said a few words, from His Majesty's tone, it seems to me that the Imperial Master is an omnipotent person." Fan Zeng said.
Meng Yi nodded and said: "You are right, the Imperial Master is an omnipotent person. Because of the Imperial Master, the future of Great Qin has changed.
The emperor's master once said that when the second generation of Qin Dynasty died, Xiang Yu and you Fan Zeng were the ones who lost Qin. "
"What?" Fan Zeng was shocked, "Master Meng, what did you say? The Second Emperor of Qin died?"
Meng Yi's face darkened. He knew that he had spoken smoothly and said angrily: "Didn't you say that His Majesty told you about the Emperor's Master?"
Fan Zeng explained: "Your Majesty just said that the emperor knew it for five hundred years before and five hundred years later. Therefore, there is nothing to say. He did not say anything else."
Meng Yi said in a deep voice: "In this case, just pretend that I didn't say anything and you didn't hear anything."
Fan Zengmu nodded indifferently. At this time, his whole body was shocked by the words "die for the second generation".
Meng Yi ignored him with a sullen face. He would have to explain this matter to the First Emperor later.
Not long after, Xiang Yu walked out.
"Yafu, Your Majesty has summoned me."
Only then did Fan Zeng come back to his senses. When he saw Xiang Yu, he quickly asked, "Yu'er, you're out. Is Your Majesty giving you any trouble?"
Xiang Yu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty did not embarrass me. Your Majesty summoned my father. Please go see your Majesty as soon as possible."
"Okay." Fan Zeng nodded.
As long as Xiang Yu was fine, Fan Zeng entered the hall again.
"See Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, I will give you two choices now. One is to continue to follow Xiang Yu and become his military officer.
One is to become an official in the dynasty and become a minister of the dynasty. How do you choose? "
Fan Zeng replied immediately without even thinking about it: "I am willing to stay with Xiang Yu. As Xiang Yu's father, everything should be centered on Xiang Yu. Please forgive me."
"Okay, I promise you." Ying Zheng said, "I will give you an imperial edict now to go to Mobei to help Meng Tian attack the Xiongnu."
"Your Majesty, there is General Meng Tian in Mobei who doesn't need Yu'er at all. Wei Chen suggested going to Baiyue. Now the imperial court is organizing people from Guanzhong to move to Baiyue to plant rice.
I am afraid that many mountain people in Baiyue are unwilling to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. Yu'er can make countless military achievements in Baiyue. "Fan Zeng said.
Ying Zheng frowned and sneered: "You want to go to Baiyue, fine, I will help you. You tell Xiang Yu and let him wait in Meng Mansion, and I will send you to Baiyue soon."
"promise."
"Go down."
"promise."
After Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu left the palace, Meng Yi entered the main hall, informed Ying Zheng about the death of Emperor Qin II to Fan Zeng, and asked Ying Zheng to punish him.
Ying Zheng waved his hand, telling Meng Yi not to take the matter to heart, and asked him to prepare. Baiyue had already sent rice and he could go to see Qin An.
Finally, Ying Zheng gave Meng Yi two imperial edicts and let Meng Yi leave.
After receiving Ying Zheng's understanding, Meng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the mansion with two copies of the imperial edict, and handed the imperial edict to Xiang Yu.
One imperial edict was for Xiang Yu to marry Yu Ji, and the other was for Xiang Yu to go to Baiyue and become a vanguard general to suppress the mountain people who did not adhere to the Qin Dynasty.
Xiang Yu excitedly accepted the two imperial edicts and then returned to Sishui County.
On the way, Xiang Yu finally asked. Doubts in my heart: "Father, why did you agree to become his minister at that time?"
Some people died, but not completely...
