The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1149 Overworked [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"What is Bingzhou doing recently?"

After returning from his eastern tour, Ying Zheng felt that he seemed to have missed something exciting.

After the unification of the Qin State, there were many things to do, so he toured the east to tell the world that the princes had returned to Qin.

In an era of information blockade, if one wanted to let the people of the world know that the world was unified and who they were subjects of, there was no other way except to see it with their own eyes.

This is also one of the reasons why Ying Zheng made tours to the east again and again.

Only when the emperor went on tour or sent his ministers to various places to carve stones and inscribe monuments could the people know that the Qin State was above them.

This is one of the means of centralization.

It is also one of the means to change local autonomy since the Zhou Dynasty's feudal system.

It was also the first time since the Zhou Dynasty that royal power went beyond the royal capital and reached the countryside.

"Nothing happened. Emperor Xuanwu is staying in Beiye Royal City and has not left."

Xiong Qi, who stayed behind as the prime minister, answered seriously.

“???” Ying Zheng finally discovered the problem.

"Did Emperor Xuanwu not go to the Southern Expedition?"

As Ying Zheng asked questions, Xiong Qi finally discovered the problem.

It seemed that Yan Yan had participated in all the wars of the Qin Dynasty, and even in every war in the world.

This time, the Qin army marched south with great force, which could be regarded as the largest-scale campaign since Qin Shi Huangdi's reign. It was very unusual that Yan Yan did not show up.

"I am guilty for not noticing the problem!" Xiong Qi apologized hastily.

As the minister who stayed behind to regent, he actually failed to notice such huge mistakes and problems.

"However, Emperor Xuanwu has been stationed in Beiye City. According to spies, Emperor Xuanwu has never left Beiye City this year. He works between Bingzhou Palace and the Prime Minister's Office every day to handle government affairs."

Xiong Qi said with a frown.

Because of Yan Yan's regularity, Xiong Qi didn't notice anything wrong for a while.

It was not until Ying Zheng mentioned it that he realized that it was precisely because it was normal that it was unusual.

"Is this really the Emperor Xuanwu?" Ying Zheng couldn't believe that it was Yan Yan. He did doubt that there was something wrong with Xiong Qi's intelligence.

But this is the biggest problem.

"So, the Emperor Xuanwu of Beiye Royal City is a fake!" Xiong Qi widened his eyes.

They even suspected that Yan Yan from Beiye King City was a fake, and they would not believe that Yan Yan would really stay in Beiye King City so honestly and work so diligently!

"According to the reports from the spies, Prime Minister An Qisheng of Bingzhou got married silently, then left the royal city and went hunting in the east on behalf of the king. He has not returned yet..." Hei Bai Xuan Jian silently told the information he had received.

"He hasn't returned yet!" Ying Zheng and Xiong Qi silently repeated these four words several times.

Ying Zheng and Xiong Qi looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

"He has come to this day!" Ying Zheng suddenly laughed out loud.

He did not envy Yan Yan for being surrounded by beautiful women. With their status, they could have any kind of beauty they wanted. Nor did he envy Yan Yan for his extraordinary martial arts skills. As an emperor, personal bravery was actually of little use.

But he really envied Yan Yan for being able to just throw up his hands and run around to travel around, and he envied him even more for the fact that every time Yan Yan tinkered with some messy things, Bingzhou would be able to execute them perfectly and clean up the mess for him.

The person who executed and cleaned up the mess was Anqisheng.

It can be said that An Qisheng perfectly meets the kings' ideal of a prime minister. He is simply their perfect moonlight, loyal, hardworking and capable.

Even Li Si, who was specially trained by Ying Zheng, could not do this.

Li Si was capable and loyal, but he was a little cautious. He was not decisive enough on major issues and lacked decisiveness.

Li Si could solve any problems encountered by Ying Zheng and the Qin State very well, but first he had to have someone to make the decision for him.

This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.

This was also determined by Li Si's background. In comparison, although Xiong Qi was decisive, he had too many thoughts and was not as capable as Li Si.

The two complement each other very well.

Therefore, Ying Zheng also wanted to promote Li Si to the position of left prime minister to partner with Xiong Qi.

"However, I still don't quite believe that he would be so quiet!" Ying Zheng shook his head.

This is not Yan Yan's character.

With an army of 500,000 men marching south to conquer Baiyue, how could Yan Yan be so quiet!

"I have the will but not the strength!" In the Prime Minister's Mansion of Bingzhou, Yan Yan was very envious of Qin's southern expedition and had many ideas about it.

only……

Looking at the documents filling the hall, Yan Yan couldn't move even if he wanted to.

Yan Yan really wanted to visit Baiyue, where the mist and rain were as dark as ink.

The disappearance of the South China tiger, Baiyue wolf, and Asian elephant...

Yan Yan really wanted to go and see.

I would also like to see the misty rain being as dark as ink and the clothes not being able to dry under the sun.

Unfortunately, the hall was filled with memorials, making it impossible for him to escape.

"When will An Qixiang return?"

A daily routine question.

"You haven't come back yet, and there's no date for when. The night rain on Liaohe River has swollen the autumn pond. When will we cut the candle in the west window together and talk about the night rain on Liaohe River?"

Mo Ya calmly submitted a poem titled "Night Rain Sent to the North".

"..." Yan Yan was silent.

The article is hateful, and the person who said this is a liar!
Who says that only those with unfortunate fate and unappreciated talent can write poetry? Look at Anqisheng. He wrote so many poems during this tour that he can almost publish a collection of poems and essays.

"Send more of the blue pills that the Taoists presented as tribute to Prime Minister Anqi!" Yan Yan sighed.

You can't force it back.

The key point is that An Qisheng did not do nothing. He compiled the problems and current situations encountered by the counties in the eastern part of Bingzhou into a book and sent it to the Beiye Royal City. He also gave rectification strategies locally.

"This... Your Majesty has already given a lot!" Mo Ya hesitated.

Can we take all those Taoist tonic pills randomly? If we take too much, we will get too much tonic.

"If he doesn't eat, how can the two ladies show their pregnancy? If the Prime Minister's wife doesn't show her pregnancy, how can he come back? If he doesn't come back, how can I be free from this vast sea of ​​memorials..."

Yan Yan said through gritted teeth.

"High-end political means often only require the simplest means!" Mo Ya and others were stunned.

They thought that Yan Yan had people send so many tonic pills because he was worried that An Qisheng would overwork himself. Now it seems that the real purpose was to make An Qisheng overwork himself!
Who could have thought that Yan Yan sent so many pills just to make the Prime Minister's wife look pregnant!

On the other side, An Qisheng looked at the tonic pills sent from the royal city again and again, with a sneer on his face. Are you using this to test the cadres?

Have you forgotten that he is also a Taoist and the current head of the Huang-Lao lineage?

Pills? He could make them himself, so he knew the effects of taking them!
"Naive, that's it. As long as I don't want it, this thing will be a jelly bean!"

"My husband, are you really not going back?" The Gongsun sisters were puzzled.

Which prime minister could run away from the royal city and stay there for half a year?

“It’s best not to go back before the Qin State’s southern expedition is over, otherwise you will just wait for His Majesty to disappear!” An Qisheng knew too well Yan Yan’s hobby of watching the fun.

As soon as he set foot in Beiye Royal City, someone would tell him that Yan Yan had run away.
