Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 148 The Qin of the Tiger and Wolf! (seeking subscription)
Yingzheng's four-horse chariot hadn't come to a complete stop outside the palace, but the sound of greetings from all around could already be heard.

"I welcome Your Majesty—"

Accompanied by these hoarse and mournful cries, Ying Zheng also jumped out of the car.

Suddenly.

All the officials guarding the palace burst into tears.

Ying Zheng ignored it, strode hurriedly through the mourning crowd, and arrived at the gate of the palace.

Mansion gate.

Wang Ben knelt down on the ground.

Leading the Wang family's children to meet the first emperor.

Wang Ben mourned:

"The minister, Wang Ben, welcomes His Majesty."

"Father. Father"

Ying Zheng helped Wang Ben up, and said solemnly:
"I already know."

"The old general passed away, and I was also heartbroken. I will personally protect the old general's spirit and hold the shackles, so as to sue the old general's spirit in heaven."

"The funeral of the old general should be held as a state funeral."

"I have ordered the magistrate of Pinyang County to supervise the construction of the old general's cemetery."

"The funeral expenses of the old general will be borne by the Shaofu."

"Wang Ben, you should also pay attention to your health. I have ordered the two doctors to stay in the palace. Now that the old general has passed away, you have to cheer me up."

Wang Ben said gratefully:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift."

"It's just that it is inappropriate for His Majesty to carry out the funeral in person, and please take it back."

Ying Zheng shook his head.

"Is there any way to take back what I said?"

"I owe a lot to the Wang family."

"The old general has made great military exploits and made great achievements for Daqin. If I don't personally send the old general a ride, I really feel uncomfortable, so you don't want to refuse."

"Wang Ben pays homage to His Majesty on behalf of the Wang family." Wang Ben bowed on his knees.

Ying Zheng let out a long sigh.

Sadly said:
"Take me to see the old general."

After reading it, Ying Zheng didn't let Wang Ben continue to accompany him, and let him continue to organize the funeral. He went to see the old lady himself, took a short break, and was preparing to return to the palace.

Go to the gate of the mansion.

But I saw a mountain of wreaths.

Can't help but wonder:
"What are these things? Why are there so many?"

At this time.

Guo Dan squeezed out from the crowd, with a sad face, bowed and said:
"Go back to Your Majesty."

"They are all wreaths sent by officials."

"To mourn and commemorate the old general."

"I was young and stubborn. Although I was very saddened by the death of the old general, I couldn't write any good elegiac couplets. I really regret it."

Guo Dan wept bitterly.

Ying Zheng glanced at Guo Dan.

Nodding and saying:
"You have a heart."

"Of these wreaths, which one did you send?"

A look of hesitation appeared on Guo Dan's face, and he said hesitantly: "The minister's handwriting is scribbled, but it cannot be seen by your majesty. Your majesty should look at other people."

Ying Zheng said coldly:
"Guo Qing is sincere to the old general, how can I blame him?"

Guo Dan's eyes were red and he said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

"Chen Song is that one."

Guo Dan stretched out his hand and pointed to the very center.

Ying Zheng looked in the direction Guo Dan was pointing, and seeing Guo Dan's wreath was in the center, he couldn't help showing a strange look in his eyes. His eyes stopped on Guo Dan for a moment, and then he walked over.

Looking at the elegiac couplet above, Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

read:

"The big star in the sky sinks thousands of miles and the clouds and mountains are as bleak."

"The cold rain bursts in the world, and the three armies mourn together."

Ying Zheng looked at Guo Dan.

Shen said:
"Guo Qing was self-effacing before, but this elegiac couplet complements the old general's life, why is it inappropriate to say it?"

Guo Dan looked slightly embarrassed.

Whisper:
"His Majesty."

"The minister is the one next to Kaijiang."

Ying Zheng frowned slightly and looked aside.

Stand for a long time.

Said:

"I made the wreath myself, and wrote the elegiac couplet myself. Guo Qing's sincerity to the old general must be felt by the old general."

"You really put your heart into it."

"but."

"Who made this wreath?"

heard.

Guo Dan made a bow and said:
"The minister just did what he should do."

"This wreath was not made by a courtier, but by a historian."

"Shi Zi?" Ying Zheng frowned when he heard the word Shi Zi.

Guo Dan didn't notice it.

continued:
"Report to Your Majesty."

"It is indeed a historian."

"The name of this historian is Qin Luoheng. He is indeed a rare talent. He not only knows Qihuang's healing techniques, but also is proficient in funeral etiquette."

"I was quite surprised when I heard about it earlier."

"In order to learn the art of weaving wreaths, I went to the residence of this Shi Zi, and let him teach the art of weaving. In my opinion, although this wreath is not expensive, it is more sincere to weave it by hand. .”

"The minister thinks that only in this way can he express his memory and condolences to the old general."

"Old General."

When it comes to emotion, Guo Dan also burst into tears.

Ying Zheng ignored it.

Shen said:
"Qin Luoheng, you are really versatile."

heard.

Guo Dan's eyes moved slightly.

Almost without the slightest hesitation, he directly changed the topic.

Nodding and saying:
"Go back to Your Majesty."

"This Shizi is indeed very talented."

"The elegiac couplet that His Majesty read just now was written by this historian."

"Every time I read that elegiac couplet, I can't help but see the figure of the old general in my heart. Although it is only a few short sentences, it reflects the life of the old general. Such literary talent, I really feel ashamed. One-tenth of the talent is not so unbearable."

"Your servant is ashamed!"

Ying Zheng glanced at Guo Dan and left with a flick of his sleeves.

"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty." Guo Dan sent him off respectfully.

"I respectfully send it to Your Majesty."

Hundreds of officials sent each other off.

When Ying Zheng walked away, Guo Dan raised his head, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He was somewhat puzzled by Shi Huang's thoughts.

Said to himself:
"Did I make a mistake?"

"It shouldn't be."

"Hearing His Majesty's tone, it is obvious that he knows this Shizi, such a talented person, His Majesty has no reason to be disgusted."

Think of this.

Guo Dan was sure.

Secret way:

"In the future, I will often walk around with this Shizi."

"Before leaving the school, he has already fallen into His Majesty's eyes, and even climbed into the friendship of the prince's mansion. After leaving the school in the future, wouldn't he be promoted faster than those Langguans?"

"The jade finger is really stingy."

"but."

"This Shizi is really powerful."

"I didn't expect that weaving wreaths and writing elegiac couplets by myself would have such a good effect. It's thanks to this kid that I can be so popular."

"good."

Guo Dan raised his head.

His face turned into a mournful face again.

He didn't go among the officials, but went to Wang Li's side, and amidst the envy and hatred of the officials, he exchanged grief with the members of the Wang family.

After three days of inactivity.

Wang Jian's coffin was escorted out of Pinyang.

This is the place where Wang Jian lived.

early morning.

Wang Ben personally led three thousand soldiers to protect the spirits on the road.

First there is a cloud cart more than three feet high, on which hangs a pair of elegiac couplets, and a large banner (dao) of the Qin army hanging high above, this is the elegiac couplet inscribed by Ying Zheng's relatives.

You Yun: 'The Sixth Army Commands'.

Zuo Yun: 'Great Qin Pillar'.

On the big black banner that was flying in the wind, the upper row was a row of white characters.

'Wu Chenghou Wang Jian'.

The four large white characters in the center are "Soul Returns to Homeland".

After the cloud chariot, Wang Ben led a thousand soldiers to open the way. Each of them had a spear more than two feet long, and each spear carried a thin white flag, which was as white as snowflakes.

Behind the soldiers are two huge hearses each drawn by six horses, and behind the hearses are two thousand spirit guard knights led by Prince Hu Hai.

Everyone stood upright in linen clothes with long swords, as dark as a pine forest.

The hearse was driving on the wide avenue out of the city, and Qin Feng, who was naked without clothes, echoed long and continuously.

All the way north.

Daozhong Business Hotel parked their horses, and the people from all over the world came to hear the sound, solemn and sad.

The side hall of Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng is summoning General Meng Tian.

Ying Zhenggao sat on top.

He just looked at Meng Tian quietly, and after a moment of silence, he finally spoke, with a bit of chill in his calmness.

"Meng Tian, ​​I ask you a few things, you must answer truthfully, without any falsehood, even if it is well-intentioned, it is not allowed, can you hear clearly?"

Meng Tian bowed and said:
"The end will understand, there is no falsehood."

Ying Zheng slightly forehead.

Said: "After the old general died of illness, is the army stable?"

Meng Tian said:
"At the beginning of the old general's death, the morale of the army was indeed shaken, but it has stabilized recently. The last general dares to assure His Majesty that there is absolutely no problem with the morale of the Great Qin army."

Ying Zheng nodded and said:
"If the army goes northward, can Wang Li be the deputy general?"

Meng Tian said:
"It's impossible."

"General Wang Li has a solid temperament, he has been familiar with military books all year round, and his ability is beyond doubt."

"When I came into contact with him, I found that General Wang Li's words and deeds were exuberant, and he also possessed extraordinary knowledge, reminiscent of the Wang family."

"I think Wang Li can be the deputy general of the army."

Ying Zheng continued:
"How about the training of the army elite?"

Meng Tian said:
"It has been quite effective."

"You can go out of the fortress when you get on a horse, and you can defend when you get off your horse."

"Stop words and deeds!"

"Okay." Ying Zheng shouted loudly, then sighed, sat upright and said solemnly: "Fourth case, how is General Meng Wu?"

heard.

Meng Tian's face changed slightly.

"Your Majesty, this, this is"

"Tell me the truth!"

"Your Majesty!" Meng Tian fell to the ground with a choked sob, and said with a pause, "Ah Weng. A Weng's health is not as good as before. A few days ago, he told the old general Wang Ji to come back. Serve all night."

"It's just that my father-in-law doesn't drink the soup anymore!"

"fear"

Meng Tian had tears in his eyes.

Dim all the stars.

Ying Zheng also felt quite uncomfortable.

More than ten years ago, these generals were so heroic, but now they are all sick on the bed, it is true that the world is impermanent.

Ying Zheng Road:
"Since the army has stabilized, you should serve General Mengwu first. General Mengwu was born and died for Daqin. How can I see his critically ill son not around?"

Meng Tian bowed his head.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It's just that there are many important tasks in the army. If the last general leaves the army, the Northern Expedition of the Huns planned by the court will be postponed. The Huns are cunning. Seeing the turmoil in the Great Qin Dynasty, they will definitely lead the army to go south. At that time, the northern border may fall into turmoil. among."

"I dare not hinder His Majesty's plans."

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

Shen said:
"I've made up my mind."

"I know that Manchanyu is brave, but the Xiongnu is just a wild wolf in my eyes, and what is Daqin's name?"

"Tiger and Wolf Qin!"

"If he dares to lead his troops to the south, I will be sure (xi) that there will be no bones left in him."

"What Daqin Jianfeng pointed at, no one dares to be the enemy!"
