The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 691

The military general Dian Wei called Dou Xian heard what Shangguan said, and hurriedly came out and clapped his hands and said: "It's really a slip of the tongue, my lord, please make amends!"

Xiao He nodded slightly, and flicked his sleeves: "It's okay, the official just heard you say that the army's food and grass are not enough, and how many people are blind?"

"This matter happened to be under my control." Dou Xiandao: "At the beginning, your majesty hoarded food and grass in Qufu enough for a hundred thousand troops to feed for two years, but then your majesty led the Northern Expedition and took away a third of the food and grass. [-] to [-], plus the food and grass brought by the armies, if there is no war, it should be enough for two years."

"However, when the army goes north, a bloody battle is unavoidable. At most, it will be enough for a year. My land in the Han court has now been occupied by the Qin people. It is not an exaggeration to call it a rootless apple. If now If we distribute the food to the people of Qufu City, it will be difficult to spend it in the future."

With dark eyes of curiosity, Xiao He sized Dou Xian up and down, admiring him quite a bit. He fled all the way from Pengcheng. After entering the city, he himself hadn't had time to count the food, grass, soldiers and horses. This Dou Xian It has already been counted.

"Is the grain and grass counted by you accurate?" Xiao He asked.

Dou Xian said: "After the two lords and General Liu led the army into the city, I sent someone to check it. Even if it is not 100% accurate, there will not be much difference."

"In this case, according to your opinion, if our army must share food and grass, how much can we divide?" Xiao He asked.

"This..." Dou Xian's face is very unwilling. The people in Qufu are about to become obedient citizens of the Qin State, and he still wants to distribute food to them. There is something in his heart that he didn't say. Xiao He has a problem with his head...

Of course, Dou Xian would not dare to say this sentence no matter what.

After thinking about it for a while, Dou Xian felt that the army could produce about five thousand shi of grain and grass, but he kept his eyes open on purpose, and cupped his hands and said:
"A thousand stones of grain is already the limit!"

Xiao He smiled and said: "Add two thousand shi, and we will send out a total of three thousand shi for food and grass."

Dou Xian heard that a fine layer of sweat had flowed from his forehead, and from Xiao He's smile, he had already felt an invisible pressure.

"promise!"

Since Xiao He didn't expose him, it means that he acquiesced, save some face for himself, if he doesn't know what's interesting, then he is stupid.

At present, Dian Wei led a group of generals, including a warrior on horseback with a gong in his hand. He walked around the street, beat the gong in his hand, and shouted: "The military camp outside the east gate is distributing grain and grass. Everyone has it, go!"

When people heard that there was such a good thing, they threw away the things in their little hands, thinking about going to the east gate, and saw that a large army of black troops was transporting food and grass, and someone had already distributed the food. Get on your back and walk back.

Generally speaking, the food distributed by the imperial court is first-come, first-served, and there will be no food after it arrives.

After all, there are too many people. If you think that everyone can distribute food, it is almost impossible.

In front of Xiao He, Qufu officials, big and small, knelt on the ground.

"Right now the army is distributing food, but there are always some lonely people in the city who have no energy to get food. My target is on these people. Now you send people out to deliver food and grass at the door of these people. I hope You can finish this matter in one day today, if not, come and see me!"

"If not, come and see me!"

The guard standing outside the door shouted loudly after Xiao He finished speaking.

"The officials and others must do this well!" Qufu officials and others said one after another.

"Go down!" Xiao He waved his hands, and everyone retreated with their hands clasped together.

As soon as the officials here left, a guard came in and bowed his hands and said: "I tell you, the Confucius family in Qufu, Kong Yu, please see me!"

"Kong Yu?" After hearing this, Xiao He stood up, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Kong Yu is the seventh grandson of Confucius, and he can be regarded as a very famous person. According to the normal historical development track, this person once took refuge in Chen Sheng, but Chen Sheng did not regard Kong Yu, the seventh grandson of the Confucian family, as a For the matter, Kong Yu tried to persuade Chen Sheng many times but to no avail, and later died in a battle with Qin General Zhang Han.

After Fusu's resurrection, the entire historical trajectory has been completely disrupted. Kong Yu, who was supposed to be under Zhang Han's knife, has lived until now.

The guard looked at Xiao He with a hesitant look on his face, and said: "This person is a direct descendant of the Kong family. He heard that the lord is going to lead the army to retreat, but he gave food and grass to the people. He must have come to express his gratitude."

Xiao He has also studied Confucian classics, so he and Kong Yu are naturally old acquaintances. Now that he heard that Kong Yu came to visit, he didn't want to see him at first, but when he heard what the guard said, he nodded slightly and said, "Please come in!"

"promise!"

The guards quickly retreated, and after a while, a Confucian scholar who was over fifty years old and full of energy walked in.

Wearing a Confucian costume, the Confucian scholar walked up to Xiao He with a solemn expression, bowed his hands and said, "Kong Yu pays homage to the Prime Minister!"

"Don't dare!" Xiao He stepped forward, helped the old Confucian student who was over fifty years old, and invited the old student to sit down.

Kong Yu went straight to the point: "Today I heard from my nephew that the Lord distributed food to the people in the city. I would like to thank you."

Xiao He hurriedly said: "I dare not take it."

"I heard that the Qin army has lost the territory, and the Han army is going to leave the Zhao country. I don't know if this is serious?" Kong Yu asked.

Xiao He nodded and said, "That's true."

"Since this is the case, it won't be long before King Fusu of Qin will lead the army to Qufu. I wonder if your lord has any plans for a countermeasure?" Kong Yu asked with narrowed eyes.

Xiao He's heart trembled, and his complexion also changed a bit. A smart person like him, as long as someone raises his head, he will know what he is going to say next.

This Kong Yu was probably thinking about the King of Qin, so he came here to ask to see him.

Moreover, Xiao Hesu came to hear that Liu Jiao, the younger brother of the King of Han, was very close to the Confucians, especially Liu Jiao, who once studied Confucian classics with Xunzi's disciple Fu Qiubo, so the relationship is already very close.

Kong Yu saw the shocked expression on Xiao He's face. When King Qin ruled the world, he vowed not to be an official anymore, and he was unwilling to serve King Qin. Like a mouse being stared at by a cat, one can naturally guess what kind of thoughts are in his heart.

"To be honest, I am willing to imitate the behavior of Jing Ke back then, my lord, please see!" After saying this, a gleaming sword appeared in Kong Yu's hand.

Xiao Henai is a man of vision, when he saw this sharp weapon, his face changed drastically, and he said in astonishment: "Fish intestine sword!"

In ancient times, there was a dagger dedicated to roasting fish to eat, and stabbing Wang Liao with the dagger, so this dagger was named Yuchangjian, also known as Yuzangjian. After hundreds of years, this dagger fell into Zhao Guoxu's hands several times. In the hands of his wife, Prince Dan of Yan State wanted to assassinate Qin, so he bought it with a thousand pieces of gold.

While presenting the map to Qin King Yingzheng, if he saw it with a dagger, he could stab Yingzheng to death, thus alleviating the crisis of the Qin army's oppression, but he never thought that Yingzheng's luck would not decline, and Jing Ke died tragically.

And the dagger that assassinated Ying Zheng was nothing, Xiao He really didn't expect that this fish intestine sword entered Kong Yu's hands.

Kong Yu left the table, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times outside the gate of the mansion, and prayed solemnly: "The descendants of future generations, Kong Yu, are willing to sacrifice their own lives first to assassinate the king of Qin to help Su, the ancestors are above, and the gods will bless you!"

After saying this, Kong Yu got up, looked at Xiao He and said: "Please also order, my lord, to put everyone in my Kong family into prison."

Xiao He was startled by Mr. Kong Yu's action just now, and now he saw Kong Yu doing this again, with his resourcefulness, he didn't even come back to his senses.

"Mr. Kong, what is the meaning of this?"

Kong Yu took a step forward and said: "My Kong family has owed the kindness of our ancestors to the nobles of the princes today. However, the head of Guizhou is in danger. I am willing to sacrifice my life to assassinate King Qin to help Su, but if you want to get close to King Qin, you must have A reasonable excuse.

Right now, the Qin army has already lost ground, the Han army retreated, and my lord sent me to prison. After the king of Qin came here, he was also born studying Confucian classics. He will definitely rescue me, so I can assassinate this beast at the banquet. Such actions It is not done by a gentleman, but it can save the world from wars, and it is only for the world, not for personal fame. "

After Xiao He heard it, he shed tears excitedly, and he walked to Kong Yu's side.

"Mr. is over half a hundred years old. Xiao He is ashamed to do such an assassination. Please also ask Mr. to go north with me. In the future, you will serve the King of Han. Maybe you can't be named a Marquis and worshiped Prime Minister!"

Kong Yu smiled lingeringly: "The wish in my heart is to be appointed as a marquis and prime minister? I only wish that one day I can see the harmony of the world, and being rich and well-off is enough!"

"Mr. Gao Yi, please accept my worship!" Xiao He took three steps back, and respectfully bowed to Kong Yu.

Kong Yu also accepted it frankly.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao He replaced the guards and told Kong An to be expelled from the mansion. Before evening, Xiao He ordered that all Kong's family be thrown into prison.

Facing the sudden disaster, Kong's family did not show much panic.

Kong Yu glanced at his two younger brothers, Kong Teng and Kong Shu, and secretly sighed in his heart, because he has hurt his two brothers.

Looking at the large group of nephews behind him again, the melancholy on Kong Yu's face deepened.

"Why is that so, brother?" Kong Teng said with a slight smile.

Kong Shu also said: "Brother went to see the Prime Minister of the Han Court today, and the Prime Minister of the Han Court ordered my Kong family to be imprisoned. This is an innocent disaster, and it will definitely be eliminated in the near future."

Gentlemen are frank, they all know that they have not violated the law, and they will be released in a short time.
