The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 410 How could you bear to leave me?
His most loyal minister, trusted general, Meng Ao.

He is old and has been in poor health since the winter this year. His old injury relapsed a few days ago and he has been bedridden.

Nian Duan personally organized the imperial physicians to treat him, but was helpless.

Meng Ao had fought in battles all his life, and he had countless old and hidden injuries all over his body. It was extremely difficult for him to survive until today.

Meng Ao was originally from Qi. As King Min of Qi was a tyrant, Meng Ao fled to the State of Qin when he was young. He was alone and fought for decades. During the reign of King Zhaoxiang, he had already become a senior minister.

This is truly a dragon among men, a hero who has left his hometown, started from scratch with his own efforts, fought hard, and established a reputation that will last for thousands of years.

He and his family have left a legacy of loyalty and military exploits in the annals of history. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a rare hero in ancient and modern times.

By the time of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin, and King Zhuangxiang of Qin, Ying Zheng had served four generations of Qin kings.

For the Qin State, Meng Ao's contribution was enormous. He fought for the Qin State all his life, made great achievements, devoted himself to the country, and it is no exaggeration to say that he died for the country.

Of course, the Qin State did not underestimate his efforts.

He was already a senior minister during the reign of King Zhaoxiang, and King Zhuangxiang regarded him as his confidant and used him generously. On his deathbed, he entrusted his son to him and appointed him as a general.

His son Meng Wu was also highly valued by Ying Zheng and was destined to take over his position.

His two grandsons were always by Ying Zheng's side and served as his trusted attendants.

He was alone when he came to Qin, but now that he is dying, his family has prospered.

It is obvious to the naked eye that as long as there is no rebellion, there will be prosperity and wealth for at least five generations.

The Meng family is destined to prosper.

He not only brings honor to his ancestors, but also provides blessings to his descendants.

Meng Ao's impending death made Ying Zheng extremely sad, and even the news of having a son could not cover up his grief.

He had many sons, but there were very few strong generals like Meng Ao, and ministers who were both capable and loyal.

Since Meng Ao was bedridden, Ying Zheng often visited him at home in person, and even sent eunuchs to visit him every day and sent imperial doctors to live in Meng's home.

Today, Ying Zheng came to visit Meng Ao again.

The brave general who once rode his horse across the world is now succumbing to illness and looks emaciated.

Ying Zheng held Meng Ao's hand and couldn't help crying.

Meng Ao was extremely moved, and both Meng Wu and his son burst into tears.

Ying Zheng said sadly, "My dear Lord Meng, how could you bear to abandon me?"

Meng Ao cried and replied, "I have been valued by the previous kings and favored by Your Majesty. This is my honor in this life."

"I am not blessed enough to see Your Majesty unify the world and usher in eternal peace. This is my unfortunate fate."

Ying Zheng held Meng Ao's hand and wept bitterly: "I am a man of low virtue. How cruel is God to take away my beloved minister."

Meng Ao was so moved that he tried to get up, but Ying Zheng stopped him and covered him with a blanket himself.

"My dear, there is no need to be so polite. Your health is important. Just lie down and rest."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng patted Meng Ao on the back of his hand and said, "I know your loyalty and righteousness. If you will never let down the Qin State, the Qin State will never let you down."

"There is one thing I will tell you in advance. A real man has nothing to fear from life or death, nor any taboos."

"After you pass away, I will bury you beside the late king. I will posthumously confer upon you the title of Marquis of Wucheng. When I unify the country, I will compile a book and write a history book for you. I will make sure that your name of loyalty and might will live on for eternity!"

Meng Ao's pupils trembled violently, his pale face flushed with blood, and tears streamed down his face. He tried his best to get up, but Ying Zheng didn't dare to use too much force, and couldn't hold him down. Meng Ao didn't know where he got the energy and strength from, but he rolled to the ground and paid his respects.

"I, Your Majesty, am deeply grateful for your kindness! Your Majesty, I would never be able to repay you even if I die! Long live the king! Long live the king!"

Meng Wu and his son had already prostrated themselves on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, shouting out their thanks.

Ying Zheng helped Meng Ao up and helped him lie down on the couch. He said gently, "My dear, don't think too much. Rest well."

Ying Zheng said to Meng Wu and the others, "I will go back first. Please put aside your work and spend more time with you, my dear minister."

"No need to send me off, just spend more time with my beloved."

After Ying Zheng left, Meng Ao finally settled down and had no regrets in his life.

Meng Ao finally instructed Meng Wu, Meng Tian and Meng Yi to be forever loyal to the king and the Qin Dynasty.

Your Majesty’s kindness is something I can never repay.

Meng Wu and his son naturally understood that what the king had done was worthy of their death, so they all agreed firmly.

Ying Zheng was really sad, and he was really putting on a show. People's memories are short, and as a king, he needs to show off his thunder and rain from time to time.

Ying Zheng used his actions to tell the world that if they are loyal to him, they will have a bright future and gain both fame and fortune!

What happened in the Meng family was not deliberately covered up, so it soon became known to everyone.

The Meng family also wanted to use Ying Zheng's favor to tell the world that although the old man is gone, the Meng family will only become stronger!

The king loves and values ​​the Meng family, and the Meng family will always be the king's loyal subjects.

What Ying Zheng did could be regarded as a dimensionality-reduction attack in that era. In such an era of aristocratic dictatorship, even though the Qin State had an eclectic system of awarding titles based on military merit, it still shocked everyone.

A man from Qi, a down-and-out scholar, relying on his own efforts and loyalty, was able to be buried in the tomb of the former king of Qin as a marquis when he died of old age.

Bring honor to our family! Bring honor to our family!
He even created a large family, leaving his descendants with wealth for generations!
It is said that the king will write a biography for him in the future!

what is this?
This is the Qin dream!

In this era, people have simple values.

An era where gentlemen die for their friends.

An era that is not afraid of life or death, does not love gold or silver, does not love beauty, and only wants to leave a name in history.

Meng Ao's ending told everyone, once again verifying the advancement and greatness of the Qin State, and the broad mind and generosity of the King of Qin.

The King of Qin once again used reality to tell everyone that hard work will be rewarded, and loyalty will be rewarded!

Don't let down the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty will not let you down!

For the vast majority of scholars around the world who have nowhere to go, this is like seeing the successful path to their lifelong dreams.

Even if you sell your life, you must sell it to the right person!
And the current King of Qin is the right person!
Look at the State of Yan. Ju Zi served Yan all his life and also served several generations of Yan kings, but what was his end?
Once again, Ying Zheng won the hearts of ambitious people across the world.

No matter how stubborn a person is, he will be deeply convinced and be certain that the King of Qin is the one who is truly worthy of loyalty.

Go to Qin, only by going to Qin can you have a future!
Scholars all over the world are no longer just eyeing civil service positions, they can also join the army!

Meng Ao can fight his way out to a bright future, so why can't we? !

Not only scholars all over the world were filled with excitement by this heavy thunder.

The civil and military officials in the court, especially the important officials, were excited and their blood was boiling!

They were both envious and jealous of Meng Ao, and at the same time, they all had expectations for their own bright future.

Write a biography!
We have a chance too!
Lu Buwei, Zhong Cang, Cai Ze and many other important officials believed that they were no worse than Meng Ao.

Whether in terms of ability, loyalty, or merit, you, Meng Ao, still have to lag behind a little.

If you, Meng Ao, have a chance, then we have even more chances!
Everybody, take a look!

If that old bastard Meng Ao can get this treatment, so can we!
The atmosphere in the court has been full of vitality recently. Everyone is full of passion and can't wait to go to the battlefield.

As for the attendants around Ying Zheng, after hearing Meng Tian and Meng Yi's description of the scene, they were so moved that tears filled their eyes and they wished they could die for their emperor immediately.

Report your favor on the golden platform, and bring Yulong to die for the king.

Wei Zhuang said frankly that if he could be like General Meng in this life, he would not regret it even if he died nine times.

Everyone agrees.

As for Meng Ao, he is no longer afraid of death, he doesn't care, and has completely put life and death aside.

After completely putting her mind at ease, she felt much more comfortable. The imperial doctors were amazed and thought that she could hold on for a while longer. They felt that the king's favor was indeed extraordinary.

Recently, Meng Ao has been inviting old friends to his home for gatherings every day. He doesn't care about food anymore and just drinks and eats a lot of meat, living a very carefree life.

Although Meng Ao's friends were sad, they couldn't be too sad, and they all wanted to switch places with him.

Everyone is destined to die, but if you can leave a great name in the history, you will have no regrets when you die. Didn't you see how proud Meng Ao was?

Not only is he not afraid of death, he actually wants to die quickly.

The last burst of light will not last long, and this day has finally arrived.

Meng Ao left without any regrets, sorrow or sadness, and died with a smile on his face.

He had no doubt that a sage king like the king was destined to unify the world!
And his name, Meng Ao, will be passed down through the ages along with the king's name!
After Meng Ao's death, Ying Zheng fulfilled everything he promised.

He was posthumously conferred the title of Marquis of Wucheng and buried with the rites of a duke or marquis in the mausoleum of King Zhuangxiang.

He can rest in peace.
