Through the Qin Dynasty, I am the first emperor

('Three days later, Ying Zheng led five thousand black dragon guards into the territory of Liaodong County. At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was dyed blood.

With the sound of a horse neighing, Ying Zheng pulled the reins and stopped. The army behind him slowed down like a wave, and suddenly the neighing sound of ten thousand horses sounded.

"Zhao Gao." Ying Zheng looked back at Zhao Gao and shouted.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is here." Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng's tired expression, his heart tightened suddenly, and he forced a smile on his face and said respectfully.

"Where is Meng Yi's army?" Ying Zheng looked at the sky, and then asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, at noon, the herald sent the news that General Meng has led 15 cavalry to Xiangping day and night, and [-] infantry, led by General Wang Ben, have arrived in Liaoxi County and will arrive in Liaodong Xiangping tomorrow." Zhao Gao, like a few treasures, reported back the military situation.

Ying Zheng didn't speak, but nodded, and then rushed to the distance again.There was a strange look in Zhao Gao's eyes, and then he followed closely, followed by five thousand cavalry at lightning speed. The earth made dull noises, and dark clouds rolled up in the bright sky, which seemed to indicate that a storm was coming.

Xiangping County is the place where the Liaodong County is governed, and the Sheriff's Mansion is located in the center of Xiangping County. The Sheriff is in charge of all the affairs of Liaodong County, and can directly go to Tianting, report to the emperor, and govern the people's livelihood.

Li Changqing was the governor of Liaodong County. At this time, he was standing under the lobby of the government office, standing upright under the table in the lobby, looking at the middle-aged man who was originally sitting where he was sitting.

Above the table in the lobby, a middle-aged mighty general sat on it, looking at Li Changqing with a gloomy face; "Can you convict Li Junguan?"

"General Meng Yi, I don't know what crime this subordinate committed?" Li Changqing said with a calm expression on his face.

"Hmph, fearing the enemy and avoiding war, not being able to hold on, the people have suffered countless casualties, and the people are in dire straits, how dare you make excuses?" Meng Yi suddenly patted the table case, and said angrily, the several scrolls of bamboo slips on the table table were all covered by his huge The strength of the shock fell to the ground.

"Although the lower official Li Changqing is a scholar, he knows how to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, so why be afraid of death?" Li Changqing also showed anger on his face, obviously very annoyed by Meng Yi's humiliating words.

"Oh? Haha, that's really nice to say? Governor Li, why do you not be moved by seeing the people being slaughtered by foreign enemies? Is this why you are afraid of death?" Meng Yi said sarcastically with a hint of disdain on his face.

"It is not a pity that I, Li Changqing, died, but the 10,000+ people in Xiangping should not die, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Liaodong should not die. There are only [-] guards in Xiangping, and only [-] guards in Liaodong County. Facing the enemy [-] tigers and wolves Teacher, I can only minimize the loss of casualties and order the counties and county magistrates to stand by and wait for help. If the subordinate officials are really guilty, they should apologise with death." Li Changqing said with determination on his face, neither humble nor overbearing.

"There is more than enough wit, but it is extremely pedantic." Meng Yi stared at the proud Li Changqing in front of him, shook his head and sighed.

"I hope the general will clear up the confusion, otherwise the subordinate will die in peace." Li Changqing said still unconvinced.

"How many eighteen counties in Liaodong have fallen into the hands of the enemy?" Meng Yi showed an intriguing expression on his face.

Li Changqing pondered for a while, but found that he didn't know how to speak.

Meng Yi looked at Li Changqing who looked embarrassed, and then walked down from above the table in the lobby, and came to Li Changqing; "According to the report of the spies, twelve counties have fallen into the enemy's hands, and three counties are waiting for help because of your persistence." The city was massacred, and 10,000+ people were slaughtered, are they not the people of Daqin? Not the people of His Majesty? Are they not the people under your jurisdiction, Li Changqing?"

Meng Yi looked at Li Changqing with sharp eyes, and said every word like a needle piercing the bone. The expression on Li Changqing's face was very complicated, with turns blue and white, unpredictable.

"Five county towns stood firm for a while, then left the city and surrendered. They were burned, killed and plundered, and suffered numerous casualties. There were also four county towns that directly surrendered to the enemy, working as minions for tigers, and betraying the country for glory." Meng Yi said it mercilessly.

"There are still four counties that have not been attacked by the enemy. Among them is Xiangping County, where Li Jun is guarding you. Do you know where the enemy is? Do you know what the enemy is doing? Do you know that the enemy wields a sickle and slaughters the people under your jurisdiction?" Meng Yi's face was very angry, and after he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist and drove it to Li Changqing's neck.

"Junshou Li, are you still not guilty?" Meng Yi sneered.

Li Changqing looked guilty, but his voice was still unafraid; "General Meng's words are reasonable, but the officials are ashamed of the people, but not ashamed of the court, and not ashamed of your majesty."

"It's really shameless. You have three crimes. The first crime is fear of the enemy and avoiding war, and you are greedy for life and fear of death. The second crime is a wrong command, which caused the enemy to penetrate deep into the hinterland without effort. The third crime is not knowing who you employ, and all your subordinates are traitors to the enemy. You still dare to quibble?" Meng Yi's face seemed to be covered with frost, and he said firmly.

"If you want to commit a crime, there is no reason to do so. If you want to kill, you can kill it. You can do what you want." Li Changqing said helplessly, without any fear.

"Hehe, I can't tell that your bones are quite hard." Meng Yishun's face changed drastically, and he said with a smile, put away the sword, hung it on his waist again, and then slowly walked to the center of the hall and finished.

"Scholars can be killed but not humiliated. I, Li Changqing, a scholar of Yan State, have been greatly loved by His Majesty, and have worked hard to govern Liaodong. I dare not slack off in the slightest. Although the general is high-ranking and has made great achievements for generations, why bother to insult the subordinates?" Li Changqing said angrily.

"Your Majesty Li Jun didn't mean to insult you. If it wasn't for the fact that you love the people like a son and enforce the law with integrity, you would have already been killed by now." Meng Yi apologized, and his tone made no secret of his appreciation.

"What did General Meng mean just now? Just to test the lower officials?" Li Changqing showed a puzzled expression.

"That's right, Governor Li is just as rumored, arrogant and defiant of power. Although you are guilty, you will not die if you are guilty, just wait for His Majesty to punish you!" Meng Yi said with a solemn expression on his face.

"Your Majesty is coming?" Li Changqing was shocked, and he couldn't believe it. His Majesty's body was gradually weakening, and the whole country knew it.

"Yes, Your Majesty wants to personally conquer, completely eliminate the hidden dangers in Liaodong, and deal with those barbarians who are overwhelmed." Meng Yi's face is also very worried. If something happens to His Majesty on the front line, then the Great Qin Empire will really fall apart.

"Your Majesty's body..." Li Changqing was interrupted by Meng Yi before he finished speaking.

"Li Junshou, you can't say these words. Your Majesty hates life and death the most. I know Li Junshou, you have always been outspoken. When your Majesty arrives, you must be cautious and think twice before acting, otherwise you will know." Meng Yi reminded kindly, his tone Long way.

"Thank you, General Meng, for your advice. As a minister, you should not be afraid of remonstrance. Even if your majesty blames you, you will die alone." Li Changqing cupped his hands at Meng Yi, and said righteously.

"Hey, you scholars, why are you all brains!" Meng Yi admired this kind of loyal minister who sacrificed his life, but he really couldn't understand the needless sacrifice he knew that he would die if he contradicted His Majesty.

"Who in the world can't die? I, Li Changqing, am no more than my parents, no more than my wife and children, so why should I be afraid of death? Your Majesty belongs to the world and benefits all people. You shouldn't put yourself in danger, put yourself in danger, and ignore all people in the world. "Li Changqing was very emotional, at first he was a little bit reluctant, and then his face revealed a resolute look.

"Mr. Li Gao Yi, although I, Meng Yi, is a martial artist, I am also infected by Li Junyi's Bo Yuntian's spirit. I would like to accompany Li Junshou to persuade His Majesty to return to the palace." road.

"General Meng is worthy of the meritorious deeds of generations, and I am extremely honored to be an officer." Li Changqing looked at Meng Yi with a smile on his face.

"Report." At this time, a soldier in heavy armor knelt outside the door and shouted loudly.

"What's the matter?" Meng Yi and Li Changqing were attracted by the voice outside the door, and looked over at the same time. Meng Yi looked at the soldier with a very serious face.

"Report to General Meng, report from the scouting horse. His Majesty has personally led five thousand black dragon guards to reach Xiangping ten miles outside the city, and he will arrive in Xiangping in a short while." The soldier knelt there waiting for the general's order.

"Well, I see, you go down and rest!" Although Meng Yi had a serious face, he said in a very friendly tone.

"Yes, General Meng." The soldier stood up very neatly, slowly stepped back with his hands folded, and quickly disappeared outside the gate. ');
