This time, facing Wang Jian, the First Emperor had nothing to hide.
He spoke frankly about his plans for the empire!
He also bluntly stated his plans for winning!
Because in the current Great Qin, the only one who could talk to him about this matter without pressure was Wang Jian.
"Your Majesty's idea is very good, but the battle between the princes and the Yingshu lineage is doomed to be inevitable!"
Seeing that the First Emperor spoke so sincerely, Wang Jian's eyes flickered for a moment, but he just said bluntly: "Your Majesty should resolve one or two issues in advance to ensure that no big problems occur."
"Um!"
Taking a sip of hot tea, the First Emperor smiled and said, "The Marquis of Wucheng should be a good student and cultivate himself. Both I and the empire need the Marquis of Wucheng..."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I know your health. It will take at least a few years..."
Wang Jian was full of smiles.
He naturally knew that the First Emperor had come to visit with Ying Shu. Meng Wu's death from illness not only woke him up, but also alerted the First Emperor.
After a long time, Yingshu finally returned to the living room, and then the two of them said goodbye, and Yingshu returned to Zhangtai Palace with the First Emperor.
"I'm afraid General, I don't have long left!" After taking a sip of hot tea, the First Emperor suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Ying Shu also nodded: "Through the observation of my son, the general is right, it only takes a few years!"
"The General is already old. He has suffered from new and old injuries during these years of fighting in the north and south!"
“It’s God’s blessing that I can persist for several years!”
After communicating for a while, the First Emperor changed the topic and said: "When the funeral is held, you also go to see off General Meng Wu. The Meng family needs to be reassured!"
"promise!"
Ying Shu could understand what the First Emperor meant.
Today's Mengshi will naturally be loyal to the First Emperor, but he will need to subdue the future Mengshi. After all, before this, Montessori's choice was Fusu.
Now that the First Emperor's decision-making had changed, it was time for him to make good friends with the Meng family, and this funeral was an opportunity.
"Father, I understand!"
.........
After returning from Zhangtai Palace, Yingshu wrote an elegiac couplet and went to Meng's house.
After paying homage to Meng Wu, Ying Shu turned to Meng Tian and Meng Yi and said, "General, sir, please forgive me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two of them were very happy about the arrival of Yingshu. After all, the status of Yingshu today was different and had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Yingshu didn't stay long, so he said goodbye and left. It was not convenient to stay for a long time.
Besides, his status is not suitable for staying for a long time.
Back at home, Ying Shu took a hot bath and talked to Yang Zi.
"Husband, Aweng wants to keep little Chang'an. On your side..." Yang Zi took a sip of hot tea, tested Ying Shu, and said.
"no!"
Ying Shu shook his head and refused: "I can't make the decision in this matter, only what my father says!"
"After all, Xiao Changan now places all his hopes on his father, I..."
Childhood fun, this kind of thing can happen to any child, but it is almost impossible for little Changan.
He was destined to study hard.
"Moreover, the new year is approaching and the weather is getting colder. It is better for Xiao Changan to stay at home. After all, it is more convenient for doctors."
After taking a sip of hot tea, Yingshu turned to Yangzi and said, "When you have time, go to the palace and persuade your father to rest more!"
"The body is the foundation of everything. The reason why Great Qin is calm now is because my father is here and in good health."
At this point, Yingshu saw that Yang Zi was hesitant to speak, so he couldn't help but speak, "I understand your thoughts, but neither I nor my eldest brother and others are suitable for persuasion."
"You are my daughter's family, so it will be easier to persuade her."
"good!"
Yang Zi agreed without asking any further questions. After all, she also knew how much pressure the First Emperor had been under over the years.
At the beginning of the year, the Great Qin Dynasty was pushed back again and again because of Meng Wu's death from illness. The entire Great Qin Dynasty was filled with sadness.
One night passed, and the whole Xianyang seemed to fall into silence. Only the sound of crying could be heard from Meng's mansion.
The next day, Meng Tian, dressed in mourning clothes, walked into Xianyang Palace, looked at the First Emperor standing on the wall of the imperial city, bowed solemnly and said.
"Chen Mengtian has met Your Majesty!"
Looking at Meng Tian, who was in low spirits, the First Emperor's eyes narrowed. Meng Tian was his best friend since he was a young man, and he naturally understood this guy's persistence.
He even remembered that when he was a boy, he was also standing here, with the sonorous words spoken by that imposing young man.
Back then, he stood on the Xianyang city wall, looking eastward at Hangu Pass, and made an oath.
King of the world!
The younger Meng Tian on the other side said impassionedly: "I am willing to hold the sword in the hands of the young master!"
From that day on.
None of them mentioned the original solemn oath, but the monarch and his ministers walked in the same direction in a tacit understanding, step by step, until today.
In fact, for the needs of the empire, Meng Tian rarely appeared on the domestic battlefield, so that Wang Jian destroyed three kingdoms, Wang Ben destroyed two countries, and Neishi Teng destroyed one country.
Only Meng Tian, after starting the war to destroy the country, went north to Jiuyuan and spent most of his life guarding against the Huns without any regrets.
The Qin Dynasty established its country by force, and the implementation of the twenty-level military merit title system made military merit the core of promotion, so that those who came after came first.
As a result, Meng Tian, who once worked with Wang Jian, was not as good as Wang Ben in terms of military exploits and title.
This is not because Meng Tian lacks ability!
Instead, Meng Tian took over Jiuyuan in his stead to guard against the Xiongnu in Mobei. He held 300,000 of Qin's most elite troops to guard the north.
This was forced by the situation, and it was also an attempt by Meng Tian to fulfill his promise back then.
Throughout his life, Meng Tian was the sword in the hands of the First Emperor!
It's just that the boy back then has grown up.
One man already ruled the world, ruled the Central Plains, and became the supreme First Emperor. One person also holds a heavy army and has reached middle age.
But the monarch and his ministers remain unchanged in their original intentions!
"Many years have passed and I stand here again. How do you feel, Meng Tian?"
Hearing this, Meng Tian also knew what the First Emperor was thinking, and he was moved by the scene. This moment was just like that moment.
"Although many years have passed, I will never change my original intention!"
At this moment, Meng Tian was also filled with emotions. The young man back then was already old.
"The promises you and I made here back then have all come true!" The First Emperor saw that Meng Tian's mood was a little higher, and he smiled in a blink of an eye: "How is the funeral of the old Guowei being handled?"
"Everything is ready!"
After a moment of silence, the First Emperor suddenly spoke and said: "Old Guowei has worked hard all his life for the country, for the Qin Dynasty, and for me!"
"Meng Tian, the funeral of the old captain will be held as a state funeral..."
Hearing the words of the First Emperor, Meng Tian quickly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is inconsistent with etiquette. I ask your Majesty to take back this edict!"
