The officials laughed.
These bursts of laughter were like waves, gathering the Black Bird Hall into a sea of joy.
Ying Chengyu, who was sitting in front of him, patted the table and shouted at the top of his voice: "Divide the soil and divide the soil!"
Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi sat at the same table.
Listen to Ying Chengyu's exaggerated and excited screams.
Meng Yi came closer to Meng Tian and whispered: "Chang'an Jun is so handsome. If I hadn't known that he could make glass and had enough money to build nine galloping roads, I would have despised him today."
"Huh? Is Mr. Chang'an so rich?"
Meng Tian exclaimed, which attracted the attention of Qin Chen nearby.
Meng Tian noticed it and said without changing his expression: "He was fined eleven years of salary, and yesterday he went to the balcony to hire five prostitutes?"
"Where did this guy get all his money?"
"Your Majesty must have given it to you privately!"
"Your Majesty is really kind to this guy!"
The surrounding ministers talked among themselves and no longer paid attention to this side.
Meng Tiancai whispered to Meng Yi: "Chang'an Lord spent the money to build nine Chidao? He is so rich!"
"It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. Although His Majesty didn't forbid it, he didn't say it could be spread. My brother has heard of it."
Meng Yi glanced at his father who had never made any great achievements in his life and was sitting at the table drinking contentedly.
"My father knew about Chang'an Lord, but he never told you and me. He saw us making fools of ourselves the first two times. It's really cunning."
... In addition to being able to make money, Lord Chang'an is also as capable as Lord Mengchang, who can recruit Lord Zhao Wuan and Li Mu as his disciples. As a brother, I cannot tell you about this matter.
Meng Tian coughed slightly, feeling a little guilty.
"My father also has his own reasons. It would be of no use to tell us earlier."
Meng Yi glanced sideways at his brother.
"Brother, that's not what you said before. You said that my father treats us like monkeys."
"You also think these people look like monkeys?"
Meng Wu leaned over, looked at the banquet seriously, and said to his second son.
"In the years since Chang'an Jun has been in court, being a father has not brought any joy to being in court. It is still fun now. I didn't expect you two to understand the joy of being a father."
Meng Yi and Meng Tian looked at each other.
After looking at the courtiers at the banquet who were mostly laughing at Ying Chengyu, I did feel that there was something interesting about it.
So they nodded.
They understood my father’s happiness.
"Chang'an Jun is quick to speak, and I admire him very much."
"Your Majesty will never forget Lord Chang'an."
"Mr. Chang'an is worthy of being your Majesty's brother. He is forthright and frank."
The ministers complimented Ying Chengyu, but this time it was from the bottom of their hearts.
If someone takes the lead, why not support him? Just like the last big discussion about the Wei shape, it was like taking the lead.
"You are so impatient! The First Emperor laughed and cursed, pulled Queen Afang to sit on a high seat, and raised his voice: "Is there anyone else who wants to divide the land? "
"Your Majesty is performing extraordinary feats today."
"Your Majesty will be even more majestic without wearing the imperial robes."
“There is no place in the world other than the royal land!”
"His Majesty"
The ministers were laughing and joking, complimenting the First Emperor constantly, but no one said they wanted to divide the land.
Even Wei Zhuang, who had been dismissed from the position and was sitting with Wang Wan, did not say that he wanted to divide the land.
This barbarian prime minister seemed to have spent his whole life on the day of the big meeting. After not seeing each other for just a few days, he looked much older.
He said to the First Emperor: "Your Majesty can decide on his own."
The First Emperor laughed, pointed at the ministers and said: "If you keep pretending, I will only allow you to become a fief!"
"Your Majesty said that day that he would not separate China, so why are you going back on your word today!"
One person at the banquet stood up proudly, faced the First Emperor with his hands behind his back, and questioned the First Emperor.
He was the second Chehou of the Qin Dynasty, the Zonghenghou, Dunwei.
Ying Chengyu rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "He's a fool."
Before the banquet, he had already told Dun Ruo, a political strategist, many times about the necessity of the parallel system of prefectures and states and the extension of favor orders.
But being weak means not recognizing it.
From the perspective of a political strategist, Dunruo believed that as long as the world began to be divided, there would be the possibility of chaos again, and it would give people like him the opportunity to disrupt the world.
Enfeoffment should be directly eliminated and implemented in counties throughout the country.
It will be okay if the economic development is slower, but national unity is the most important thing.
The smile on the Emperor's face did not change, and he laughed.
"It's really funny that you're still angry when I part ways with you."
"The land of the Qin State should be distributed to others. It is not a surprise if it is weak!"
The madman sneered weakly, turned and walked towards the entrance of Xuanniao Palace.
It seemed that he came here just to question the First Emperor.
"Don't be weak! Are you saying that the counties can strengthen the country and control evil at the same time?"
Yao Jia, a disciple of a famous family, stood up and shouted loudly, calling Dun Rui by his name.
He lost to Dunwei in the debate between the county system and the feudal system, and was eager to prove himself at this time.
He paused and kept walking, as if he didn't hear Yao Jia speak.
Yao Jia was so anxious that he quickly took a few steps to stop Dun Rui and said, "Don't you, Sir Dun, realize that your victory last time was not achieved by force?"
The ministers had long been displeased with Dun's weakness, and when they saw this, they all expressed their sympathy for Yao Jiayan.
"With your departure, the Zongheng family will lose all face."
"When you are angry, the princes will be afraid, and when you live in peace, the world will be destroyed. Suddenly, your minister will fall into the trap of being a traitor and face evil?"
"Everyone is here today, why don't you show off your eloquence?"
With Dun's weak temper, if so many people were irritating each other, he would have turned into a troll.
And today, it seems that it is no different from usual.
Dunwei glanced at the ministers with cold eyes, a look of madness and rebelliousness appeared on the surface.
The ministers were extremely excited, thinking that if they were weak, they would start to spout loudly.
When the Black Bird Hall was about to start another debate between famous experts and strategists, Dunwei spoke up and lived up to expectations.
"I once asked Duke Meng, what should I do to live as long as he did? Duke Meng only said one sentence to me, which benefited me a lot."
Meng Gong is Meng Ao.
Meng Ao is now more than ninety years old. He has served the kings of Qin in four dynasties and has made outstanding military achievements.
For a general, let alone ninety, living to sixty is considered a long life.
Therefore, although Yi Dunruo's words were completely inappropriate, they still attracted the attention of the ministers.
Who doesn’t want to live two more years?
All the ministers wanted to know how Meng Ao, a general who had spent his entire life in the military, lived for so long.
Only Meng Wu, Meng Tian, Meng Yi and his son had some ominous premonitions.
Based on their understanding of Meng Ao, they couldn't even recognize a few of the words "bird" in every three sentences.
When it comes to fighting, they believe that their father can tell the truth.
But how could it be possible to say something that would greatly benefit Dunwei, who was famous for his eloquence?
Under the attention of everyone, Dun said weakly and coldly: "Meng Gong told me that if you don't reason with the bird people, you can live longer."
Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi all covered their faces.
I know my father/eldest father can’t say anything good!
The court was full of emotions, and the ministers stood angrily and criticized Dun's weakness.
"This is ridiculous, you are so rude!"
"You are using Duke Meng's words to insult many of your colleagues!"
"I have nothing to say to Yao Shangqing, but I am just trying to please others, and I am as timid as a rat!"
"..."
Facing the verbal attacks from many ministers, Dunwei remained silent and treated them with his cold eyes.
Queen Afang walked down from the high platform with a bottle of fine wine in her hands and came to Ying Chengyu who was sitting in the first row.
"I respect you uncle."
Ying Chengyu was so busy watching the excitement that he didn't notice the person coming next to him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Afang.
He hurriedly took the wine bottle, stood up and said: "How can I let the emperor's sister-in-law respect me? I respect the emperor's sister-in-law."
"If it weren't for my uncle, how could Afang be the Queen of the Qin Dynasty? I'm afraid he may have died long ago. Afang owes his uncle a lot."
"...Sister-in-law, please pay attention to the occasion. There are many people here. If you are really grateful to me, don't say too much and don't disturb my leisure life."
"Uncle has great kindness to Your Majesty, great kindness to Afang, and great kindness to Qin..."
Sister-in-law of the Emperor, you are not here to propose a toast. You were sent by the Emperor's brother to drag me to work, right?
Ying Chengqiao drank the fine wine from the bottle, interrupted Afang's words, and said: "After finishing the wine, the emperor's sister-in-law should go back."
Afang looked at Ying Chengxiu with alert eyes, smiled softly, and drank the wine in the bottle.
"Is this act of weakening one's strength also based on uncle's instructions?"
Ying Chengyu hurriedly clarified: "He is sick and it has nothing to do with me."
"Isn't it uncle's instruction? But let's put it down, Afang heard it from his uncle more than ten years ago." Queen Afang said eloquently: "The secret of longevity is not to reason with idiots. Uncle, Afang remembers it. But right? This idiot turns out to be Birdman."
Ying Chengyu:......
Can you guys remember anything useful? You learn curse words quickly, right?
"I still remember that His Majesty retorted on the spot. My uncle replied, 'Ah, yes, yes, you are right'. His Majesty was so angry that he couldn't eat for two days."
Ying Chengyu:......
Is it possible that the emperor's brother ate the dishes from my little chef and found that the palace chef was extremely unpalatable, so he couldn't eat?
The officials surrounded him for a while.
Dun Rui never fought back, and what the ministers said was meaningless.
The sound gradually died down.
Yao Jia concluded: "Dun Rui, what else do you have to say."
As long as there is a weak rebuttal, the ministers will launch a second wave of offensive.
Dunruo sneered and said: "There is nothing to say about being weak."
The ministers were stunned.
This reaction is wrong!
You have to refute us!
You have to argue with us!
Yao Jia spoke quickly and immediately counterattacked: "That means you think everyone is right. You have lost the face of the political advisor by being weak. You are a coward like a mouse, so..."
"Ah, yes, yes." Dunruo interrupted Yao Jia and said impatiently: "You are all right, you can leave now."
Pulling away the stunned Yao Jia, he weakly strode away.
Yao Jia:......
Ministers:......
They seemed to have won.
But they didn't know why, even though they won the debate, they didn't feel so happy.
Afang blinked at Ying Chengyu and said softly: "I just said it was uncle's plan. What does uncle want to do?"
Ying Chengyu:......
What does this stupid thing have to do with me?
"Hahahahahaha! You are worthy of being called the Marquis of Zongheng by me! Your style remains the same! I respect your unfailing success in leaving the banquet!"
The First Emperor laughed loudly, picked up the wine bottle, shouted at Dun's weak back, and drank the wine in one breath.
He was weak but didn't even look back, disdaining to speak to the First Emperor again.
Lang Guan blocked the way.
The First Emperor shouted: "How dare you! Do you dare to stop me, Da Qin Zongheng Hou? Get away quickly!"
Lang Guan retreated.
Leave the feast weakly.
The ministers were speechless.
Your Majesty, we won this debate...
"There is a birdman at the banquet, and you don't even know it!"
Ying Chengyu suddenly spoke loudly in front of Queen Afang.
Then he hurriedly whispered: "Sister-in-law, I just want to have fun, please don't stare at me..."
Afang smiled lightly and said, "Uncle, it's up to you. Afang is also willing to have fun."
The ministers were awakened by Ying Chengyu, and the Xuanniao Palace was in an uproar!
