Li Shui didn't really want to let Wu Yue go and stop pursuing them from now on. But now that he is an important minister in the court and has a very important position, many people are watching his actions, especially the people in Guanzhong, who regard him as a living god.
Li Shui decided to show off his face and not make it so obvious. Let Wu Yue go for the time being. If they stay on their own terms in the future, everything will be easy to talk about. If they don't obey, then the old and new accounts will be settled together.
More importantly, Mr. Fu Yao grew up day by day, and his level as a master affected whether Fu Yao could be established as the prince. Therefore, in front of Ying Zheng, we must also establish a magnanimous persona.
Thinking of this, Li Shui said to Wu Jiao: "You find an opportunity to spread the word and say that I have forgiven Wu Yue regardless of the villain's fault."
Wu Jiao nodded and said, "I understand."
Li Shui stretched, looked at the red sun that had turned westward, and said a little puzzled: "That's weird, why didn't Brother Li come today?"
Wujiao knew that Li Shui was talking about Li Xin, so he chuckled and said, "It is said that General Li was tortured by Mrs. Li all night last night. He may be a little bit too much."
Li Shui chuckled: "A breakup is better than a wedding. Brother Li has been away to the Northland for more than a month. Mrs. Li has been worried all day long, but seeing her husband come back, she feels happy in her heart. It is inevitable, it is inevitable."
After commenting for a few words, Li Shui looked at Wu Jiao in confusion: "How come you know so much about General Li's family affairs?"
Wu Jiao laughed dryly and said: "Your Excellency often interacts with General Li. I am familiar with the slaves and the servants of the Li Mansion. I heard these things from them. Of course, they did not say how they worked. But the slaves guessed it. .”
Li Shui smiled and said: "That's it"
Afterwards, Li Shui and Wujiao laughed.
Wujiao laughed and thought to himself: Banxian is young and not married yet, so he knows a lot.
Li Shui laughed and thought to himself: How can a eunuch know this?
…………
The next day, the court meeting was held.
Li Shui arrived at the palace early in a carriage. After entering the palace, he discovered that most people had already arrived, and he was still too late.
Li Shui looked around and found that Li Xin had also arrived, dozing off against a stone.
Li Shui walked over with a smile: "Brother Li, are you working too much?"
Li Xin opened his eyes and nodded: "It's okay, it's okay."
Li Shui said indirectly: "Brother Li, although you are a military commander, you are no longer a young man in his twenties after all. You still have to take care of your body."
Li Xin nodded: "Yes, yes."
Li Shui added: "Sometimes, don't force yourself. I have heard about you."
Li Xin looked at Li Shui in surprise: "Have you heard about it too?"
Li Shui nodded.
Li Xin sighed: "Now that you know, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I don't want to, but my wife doesn't agree, and I don't want to make her angry."
Li Shui looked at Li Xin with sympathy, and then said: "You have to learn to refuse. Don't think that if you respond to requests, you are manly. If you learn to refuse, you are also manly."
Li Xin hesitated and said, "Is that so? Then I'll go back and try tonight."
Li Shui's eyes widened and he thought: You can hardly stand, why do you want to go back at night to try? What kind of beast is this?
Li Xin didn't know what Li Shui was thinking. He felt very regretful: After finally returning from victory, my wife personally cooked and served me dinner. This kind of honor was only experienced during the newlywed days. Unexpectedly, more than twenty years later, my wife’s cooking skills are still so bad. I've gone to the toilet more than a dozen times overnight. I was really tortured by my wife.
Thinking of this, Li Xin looked at Li Shui in confusion: He also knew about my diarrhea? How did he know?
Li Xin wanted to ask Li Shui, but Li Shui had already walked near Wu Yue's group.
When Wu Yue and others saw Li Shui passing by, they all backed away nervously.
Li Shui smiled friendly at them, but these people were all frightened.
Wu Yue's palms were sweating: "What is he laughing at? Has he thought of a way to punish me? Yes, he must take revenge. I hope your majesty will agree to my request to punish the frontier, otherwise, I am afraid I will die in It’s in this person’s hands.”
Not only Wu Yue thought so, but everyone in his group also had this plan.
Seeing their trembling looks, Li Shui found it boring, so he turned around and started chatting with Zhou Qingchen and his group.
These people supported Li Shui at the critical moment. Li Shui was very satisfied and gave them a few serious words of encouragement. These people all flushed with excitement.
Chunyu Yue stood not far away and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Since Huaiguzi came, the atmosphere in the court has become worse and worse. Those who speak uprightly are uneasy, and those who flatter are so prosperous. How about Wu Yue? position, even if the impeachment is wrong, it is still for the sake of Great Qin."
When Chun Yuyue thought of this, he glanced at Wu Yue encouragingly and nodded towards him. Wu Yue was moved to tears.
Soon, the court meeting began.
First, Wang Wan talked about some important matters in governance, and the ministers offered their suggestions. After they were agreed upon, everyone focused their attention on Li Shui and Li Xin.
These two people have put down the Huns and have done a great job. They should be rewarded today.
Sure enough, Ying Zheng issued an order to make Li Shui the Marquis of Pinghu and Li Xin the Marquis of Dingbei.
The courtiers were slightly stunned after hearing these two titles. The title of Marquis should be determined according to the place name. But these two titles are obviously not the case. Moreover, the emperor seemed to have only given titles, not fiefs. What does it mean?
The courtiers who responded slowly were still confused, while some who responded quickly had already understood.
Having nobility but no land means that His Majesty wants them to stay in the court. Marquis does not seem to be the end of their career.
Some people even looked at Li Shui with some jealousy: Has this person been in the court for a year? He has already been made a marquis. And judging from His Majesty's attitude, it was obvious that he wanted Fu Yao to be the crown prince, so he kept Huaiguzi in the court.
Li Shui didn't care about the fiefdom and thanked Ying Zheng happily.
Li Xin turned around with excitement and said to Chunyu Yue: "Sister-in-law, I have been granted the title of Marquis."
Chunyu Yue's face changed greatly, and he wished he could turn around and leave, staying far away from him.
Unfortunately, this was above the court, and there was no way to hide. Chun Yuyue could only bite the bullet and listen. Sure enough, Li Xin said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I am going to pay homage to my sister tonight."
Chunyu Yue couldn't bear it anymore and said in a deep voice: "Can't you set up a memorial tablet for Li Ji in your home?"
Li Xin shook his head and said seriously: "My sister has married her father-in-law, and she is a member of Chunyu's family. Etiquette and law cannot be abolished."
For a moment, Chunyu Yue wished that he was Li Shui. In that case, he could slap Li Xin with his big mouth without any scruples.
Li Shui kept looking at Chun Yuyue with gloating, and whispered to Li Xin: "Brother Li, it is very solemn for you to honor your lintel and worship your relatives. I wonder if I can go?"
Li Xin said with a moved face: "Brother Huai is indispensable for me to be where I am today. Let's go together. Let's go together."
Chunyu wanted to die more and more.
At this time, Wu Yue suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, I impeached Huaiguzi. However, I relegated the immortal to an innocent man, and I falsely accused him. The false accuser sat down. Please go to the Western Regions to open up territory for our great Qin." earth."
As soon as this statement came out, many courtiers sighed. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wu Yue is avoiding Li Shui.
Going to the Western Regions was almost like exile. It was miserable, but it was better than staying in Xianyang and being killed by Huaiguzi.
A few days ago, he was still an important minister in the court. Suddenly, it was necessary to rely on exile to survive.
Many people felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and looked at Li Shui with complicated eyes.
Li Shui was a little helpless: It really has nothing to do with me.
And he couldn't let Wu Yue's group guard the border. After they left, wouldn't this shit basin be tied to his head?
So Li Shui coughed dryly and said to Ying Zheng solemnly: "Your Majesty, Master Wu did impeach me a few days ago. However, I know that Master Wu did it for the sake of Qin and the people. Because I don't resent you. On the contrary, he was very pleased and admired.”
"Therefore, Chen begs your majesty to ignore the past suspicions and continue to reuse Mr. Wu. As for the false accusation, I believe that Mr. Wu's memorial is definitely not a false accusation, but just a small misunderstanding between us."
Li Shui said a set of words and felt that it was great, bright and correct, and his whole person was sublimated a lot.
He raised his head triumphantly, preparing to meet everyone's surprised and admiring looks.
However, the courtier's eyes were indeed looking at Li Shui, but his eyes were complicated.
Chunyu Yue suddenly cleared his throat and said in a serious voice: "Exiled Immortal, if you can spare others and spare them, why bother to kill them all?"
Li Shui was a little confused: "What the hell?"
Zhao Teng also came out to smooth things over: "Wu Yue did impeach you before. But he only pointed out your shortcomings. He did not make wanton false accusations. He wanted to kill you. Why did you do this? You must take his life?"
Li Shui was a little speechless: "When did I take his life? Don't frame people out of thin air."
Li Shui turned to Li Xin and asked, "Am I going to kill him?"
Li Xin also looked puzzled: "No, you are obviously interceding for him."
All civil and military officials in the court sighed.
Chunyu Yue had no choice but to point it out and said: "Aren't you keeping them in Xianyang just to wait for an opportunity to seek revenge? They are already going to the Western Regions, why don't you let them go?"
Li Shui was speechless and didn't know how to tell the difference.
At this time, Wu Yue's group also turned around with pale faces and saluted Li Shui: "Exiled Immortal, please be magnanimous and let us go."
Li Shui was completely speechless.
Ying Zheng also said quietly: "Huai Guzi, I have made up my mind on this matter, so don't say any more. Wu Yue and others are waiting, and we will set off tomorrow."
Wu Yue and others thanked him happily. Li Shui looked depressed.
The courtiers looked at this scene and sighed: How happy it is to be so happy after being assigned, what kind of world is this. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
