"The last general, Ren Xiao (Zhao Tuo), comes to see His Majesty!"
"Haha, you two dear ladies are exempt from the courtesy!"
Seeing Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo coming hand in hand, Ying Zheng smiled and waved to them.
At the same time, I glanced behind them from the corner of my eye, but I didn't see that familiar figure. I couldn't help but frown slightly, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Old general, are you feeling better?"
As soon as he finished paying homage to Ying Zheng, Zhao Tuo hurriedly came to Wang Jian and asked him with concern.
Wang Jian nodded calmly, and then weakly said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I am a little tired. Do you think you should let Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao report to you?"
"Um?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Jian strangely and couldn't help but be filled with doubts.
Just now, Wang Jian was talking to Ying Zheng about the matter of ennobling him after pacifying the South China Sea. Now that Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao came to see him, he actually stopped talking about it.
Could it be that there is some irreconcilable conflict between them?
Just when Ying Zheng was full of doubts, Xia Wuji walked in with a medicine jar and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, it's time for the old general to take medicine!"
"Okay, take good care of the old general, and don't let the old general's condition get worse!"
Ying Zheng said helplessly, and then took Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao out of Wang Jian's tent.
Soon, they came to a thatched pavilion.
But Ying Zheng was the first to speak: "Zhao Tuo, Ren Xiao, I want to ask you a few things. You must answer truthfully without any falsehood. Even if it is a well-intentioned word, it must not be false. Do you understand?"
When Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and raised their hands together: "The general will understand and will never dare to lie."
"good."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said solemnly: "The first thing is, how did General Meng Wu die?"
"Your Majesty, General Meng Wu was on his way back from inspecting the Fujian-Vietnam border. He slept in the wild and stayed awake all night. When the military doctor went to check, he had no breath!"
Zhao Tuo cupped his hands and said.
"The second thing is, does the old general's matter have anything to do with you?"
"Your Majesty clearly knows that this matter has nothing to do with us."
Ren Xiao quickly replied: "When the old general was making an alliance with the Baiyue tribe, he accidentally ate the strange fish prepared by the Baiyue tribe and was poisoned!"
"good."
Ying Zheng nodded expressionlessly, and then asked: "The third thing is, are the military generals used to being in the South China Sea? Are there any health problems? How many of them are there?"
"Your Majesty, except for the old general and General Mengwu, the general has not heard that anyone is sick. Perhaps only the military doctors accompanying them know best. However, most military doctors will obey the general's orders and conceal the matter!"
As the captain of Nanhai, Ren Xiao is in charge of the power of Nanhai. He is the person who knows the generals of Nanhai best.
In fact, everyone, including himself, does this.
Because once a general in the army has a physical problem, he will retire according to regulations.
However, many military generals did not want to retreat at all.
Therefore, it is common to conceal illness.
However, when Ying Zheng heard Ren Xiao's words, he frowned: "So, it is possible that all the generals in Nanhai died suddenly?"
"No!"
Zhao Tuo waved his hand quickly: "It's not as serious as your Majesty thought, it's just a physical weakness caused by acclimatization."
"Acclimatized? Is it possible to cure it on the spot?"
"have!"
Zhao Tuo nodded firmly, and then said seriously: "The body is weak due to acclimatization, and the most important thing is to rest and not work too much."
"It's simple. Let the doctors from Daqin Medical Center check you one by one. If you need to rest, put down what you are doing and rest well!"
"But."
Seeing Zhao Tuo hesitate to speak, Ying Zheng directly waved his hand to interrupt what he wanted to say, and said without any doubt: "I understand your thoughts, but Great Qin will not allow any South China Sea general to die unexpectedly like General Mengwu!"
"As for the lack of generals you are worried about, I will dispatch a new group of generals to the South China Sea. You don't have to worry!"
"this"
Zhao Tuo was speechless and thought to himself, "What is your Majesty doing?" !
Arranging a young master to supervise the army is not enough. He actually wants to transfer new generals to the South China Sea. Could it be that His Majesty no longer trusts himself?
However, if His Majesty did not trust him, why did he allow himself to succeed Wang Jian and command the South China Sea Army?
Just when Zhao Tuo didn't know how to respond, Ying Zheng asked Ren Xiao again: "The fourth thing is, what are the casualties of our soldiers? Has there ever been a plague?"
Before Wang Jian sent a memorial to conquer South Vietnam, Zhao Hao had reminded him to beware of the epidemic.
Now that the war in South Vietnam has not yet begun, he is still concerned about the harm of disease to soldiers.
Ren Xiao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, our army marched south from Huainan and arrived at Nanhai and other places for more than half a year.
At first, many people were acclimated and had diarrhea. Later, with the help of Daqin Medical Center, various folk remedies were developed, which effectively treated the disease and prevented it from becoming popular on a large scale.
Later, while crossing the Five Ridges, some soldiers were infected with acute cold. Fortunately, Daqin Medical Center prepared emergency medicine, so they survived.
By the time they arrived at the Nanhai Station, most of the soldiers were already in peace and had no problem eating anything! "
"So, Da Qin Medical Center has really been of great help!"
"Yes, the old generals said that without Da Qin Medical Center, we would have lost half of the battle with the Yue people before we officially fought!"
"Hehehe"
Ying Zheng chuckled and couldn't help but acknowledge Zhao Hao a little more, and then said: "Okay, fifth thing, how do you feel about yourself? Do you have any hidden illnesses?"
"this"
Ren Xiao looked hesitant and turned to look at Zhao Tuo.
However, Zhao Tuo's expression turned serious and he immediately handed over his hand, "General, I am willing to be examined by doctors from the Daqin Medical Center!"
"No, I want to hear what you have to say!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "You know your own body best!"
"yes!"
Zhao Tuo straightened his back and said loudly and forcefully: "General Mo's body is as solid as a rock, and he has no hidden diseases. The military doctors accompanying him said that there is no smell of medicine in General Mo's tent all year round!"
"good!"
Ying Zheng smiled heartily and then looked at Ren Xiao.
Ren Xiao shook his head with a bitter look on his face and sighed: "The general dare not deceive your majesty. Since General Mengwu passed away and the old general was poisoned, the general's body is not as good as before. Perhaps the disease of acclimatization has not yet healed." Completely cured!”
"So you need to rest?"
Ying Zheng suppressed his laughter and asked with a frown.
Ren Xiao glanced at him, then at Zhao Tuo, and cupped his hands and said: "General Zhao Tuo is responsible for military affairs, and Young Master Hao is in Nanhai for political affairs. The last general can still handle it with ease, and does not need to rest!"
"What kind of political affairs can that kid share with you?"
Ying Zheng said with some surprise.
In his heart, Zhao Hao is a restless master.
It's better to let Zhao Hao cause less trouble, but if Zhao Hao is allowed to handle political affairs, I'm afraid the sun will have to rise in the west.
Seeing what he said, the First Emperor seemed a little surprised, and Ren Xiao quickly added: "Maybe the young master is young and cannot fully handle the political affairs of the South China Sea, but the future is long, and I believe that the young master has the ability to govern the South China Sea!"
"Forget it, you don't know what that kid did in Xianyang. I heard about it on the way, otherwise I would never let him come to the South China Sea to harm you. When the old general's condition stabilizes a little, I will take them back to Xianyang. !”
"Ah? This"
Ren Xiao didn't expect Ying Zheng's attitude, and he couldn't help but feel greatly moved. At the same time, he felt lucky.
If Zhao Hao is not in Nanhai often, Wang Jian will return to Xianyang with Ying Zheng, then Nanhai will have the final say with Zhao Tuo in the future?
Thinking of this, Ren Xiao was extremely excited. He glanced at Zhao Tuo subconsciously and found that Zhao Tuo's body was trembling faintly.
You don't need to think about it to know that Zhao Tuo has the same idea as him.
"What, you don't want me to take them away?"
"No, no, we"
"Ahem."
Zhao Tuo was almost exposed by Ying Zheng's sudden question. Fortunately, Ren Xiao coughed twice and stopped what he wanted to say.
"What are you doing?"
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Tuo with some confusion.
But Zhao Tuo smiled and changed his words: "We all follow His Majesty's arrangements!"
"General Commander, why do you speak so rudely and have no integrity at all?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
"Okay, one last thing. Is the morale of the South China Sea Army stable?"
"thump--!"
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao knelt down in front of him.
"What are you doing?"
Ying Zheng's face darkened and his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao looked at each other, and the latter choked with sobs and fell to the ground: "Your Majesty! The soldiers of the Southern Navy are all from the old Qin, how can they have two minds?"
"Lieutenant, general, please rise!"
Ying Zheng helplessly helped Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao up, shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I am suspicious of the soldiers of the South China Sea, but that there are many important things in the world that I need to care about.
You are in the South China Sea, so I’m afraid you don’t know something. There are less than 60% of the old Qin people in Guanzhong;
If we continue to implement the old general's immigration policy, I estimate that it will not exceed 30%, but there will be turmoil and our Great Qin will be in danger! "
"hiss--!"
When Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao heard this, they couldn't help but take a deep breath.
However, Ying Zheng suddenly smiled; "You don't have to worry too much. These are all my considerations. Let's calm down the South China Sea first!"
"Yes, I will obey your orders!"
"Okay, I won't ask you anything else, I believe you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao bowed their hands and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Ying Zheng glanced at them and said calmly: "Did you inform that boy before you came?"
"Your Majesty, we will notify the young master as soon as possible!" Zhao Tuo said with cupped hands.
"Oh, is it so?"
Ying Zheng pretended not to care and said, "Do you know what that kid is doing?"
"Your Majesty, this, this"
"Tell it like it is!"
"Back to Your Majesty, the young master has recruited all the women who know how to mend in Linchen City to other courtyards."
"Um?"
Ying Zheng was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Why does he recruit so many women who know how to mend?"
"This junior general doesn't know much about the young master. The junior general doesn't dare to ask too much about the young master!"
"snort!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and suddenly became angry and said angrily, "Zhao Gao, I'm going to see what that traitor is doing!"
"Yes, I will prepare the carriage now."
Zhao Gao bowed respectfully, then glanced at Zhao Tuo, with a smile in his eyes, and then exited the Maoting.
On the other side, there is a courtyard less than 500 meters away from the shogunate.
Zhao Hao was sitting on a rocking chair, drinking coconut milk wine and admiring the sunset. Two servants with the same appearance beside him were fanning him gently. The feeling was simply not too good.
At this time, Yan Le, who was standing next to Zhao Hao, couldn't help but kindly reminded him, "Sir, your Majesty has come to the South China Sea. Are you really not going to go and see it?"
"What, are you scared?"
Zhao Hao turned around and asked with a half-smile.
Yan Le's eyelids twitched, thinking that His Majesty is coming in person, who dares not to greet him? Is this a question of whether to be afraid or not? This is fatal!
Although Yan Le wanted to scold his mother, he couldn't help but comfort himself when he saw Zhao Hao's fearless look.
Young Master Hao is deeply favored by His Majesty, so His Majesty will not blame him.
And I, who served Young Master Hao loyally, should not be harshly criticized.
After all, Zhongxian and the others had offended His Majesty many times, but were not severely punished by His Majesty.
Thinking of this, Yan Le smiled flatteringly: "As long as the young master is here, the villain has nothing to fear!"
"Oh, is it so?"
Just as Yan Le finished speaking, a voice as cold as frost suddenly sounded from behind.
In just a moment, Yan Le felt a bolt of lightning strike from the Tianling Gai. His head went blank and he couldn't help but turn around mechanically.
What caught his eye was none other than the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, who was dressed in ordinary clothes.
"His Majesty--!"
The moment Yan Le saw Ying Zheng, he knelt down without any time to think.
However, Zhao Hao, who was sitting in the rocking chair, pretended to be waking up from a dream and turned to look at Ying Zheng: "Father, why are you here?"
"Oh, you didn't know I was here?"
Ying Zheng took a deep breath.
Zhao Hao hurriedly stood up from the rocking chair, cupped his hands and said, "I didn't know that my father was coming to the South China Sea, and I missed my welcome from afar. Please forgive me!"
After saying that, he raised his legs and kicked Yan Le for a while, then said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that my father is here?"
"I"
Yan Le was so aggrieved that he wanted to commit suicide.
"Snapped!"
Ying Zheng slapped the table heavily and yelled angrily: "Zhao Hao, you are too presumptuous! This is a military camp, not a place for you to play around!"
"I don't want to come here. Father, you didn't ask me to come."
Zhao Hao muttered.
"What did you say?!"
Ying Zheng never expected that his son, whom he hadn't seen for more than half a year, would not kiss and hug him when they met, but would contradict him in public. He immediately raised his voice and said, "You mean, it's all my fault?"
"My son didn't say anything."
Seeing that he had given in, Ying Zheng gave up and snorted coldly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard his son whisper again: "Father, you said it yourself!"
"Treason!"
Ying Zheng was so angry that he was speechless.
This familiar feeling and taste are really easy to get addicted to.
I have been touring the east for more than half a year, and I almost forgot this feeling.
However, I am different now from before. I am used to big winds and waves, and I am already a wise and wise emperor. Thinking about it carefully, I seem to have sent him to the South China Sea without asking for his opinion. Anyone else might have done it. Opinion.
Of course, as the First Emperor, I will definitely not admit my mistakes to my son. After all, this is related to the majesty of the First Emperor.
"I heard that you recruited all the women in Linchen City who know how to mend. Is this the case?"
Ying Zheng changed the topic and asked calmly.
"true!"
Zhao Hao nodded obediently and suddenly changed the topic: "However, I do not enjoy these women."
"puff--!"
I recommend a good book, "Join the Time Travelers Chat Group, But I Didn't Time Travel"
Introduction: Joining the [Chat Group for Travelers of All Heavens], Su Qing on Earth was dumbfounded.
Let’s just ask, am I preparing to become a time traveler?
So should we draw numbers or queue up? When will it be my turn?
Is this a new type of fraud, pretending to be a time traveler to steal my money?
But what happened next caught him by surprise.
Xie Yuanshan at the end of the world: "Brother Su, please help me purchase a batch of rice, flour, grains and oil! My family is running out of food, and we are anxious to wait for the rice to be cooked!"
With the completion of the first cross-border transaction, Su Qing tasted the sweetness: Oh my god, it smells so good!
After that, travelers from all over the world joined the chat group, and Su Qing's life became colorful.
