Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 455 Roman Pathfinder

"Ten Shanshan..." The king of Shanshan's mind was full of Ying Zheng's last words.

A city of Shanshan was almost a powerful country in his eyes.Ten seats, what is the concept?
The Lord of Shanshan stared blankly at the small flag floating erratically on the sand table, and swallowed involuntarily.

However, the Lord of Shanshan is not a person blindfolded by interests.He swallowed hard again, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I'm old, I don't know how far Rome is, and I'm worried, even if I arrive, I won't be able to come back..."

"Can't you come back?" Ying Zheng glanced at him lightly, waved his hand, and said, "Then change someone else!"

As soon as Ying Zheng's words fell, Feng Quji, who was at the side, understood what Ying Zheng meant.

"Come here! Push out this person who dares to offend His Majesty's Tianwei!"

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

Heavy footsteps sounded in the hall.The guards outside the hall, dressed in exquisite armor, walked towards the Lord of Shanshan, exuding a cold air.

"Pfft!"

"Thank you for your majesty's gift, I am willing to serve your majesty!" No matter how stupid the Lord of Shanshan was, he knew what would happen if he did not agree to Yingzheng's conditions.

Following the submission of the Lord of Shanshan, all the courtiers of the Great Qin Dynasty present couldn't help showing a hint of smile.

And Ying Zheng did not treat the Lord of Shanshan badly, not only bestowing a house, but also a lot of gold and silver.

However, as for the remaining kings of the Western Regions, they are not so lucky.Not only do you have to buy the house yourself, but now that Xianyang is the capital of the emperor, how can the price be cheap?

The banquet above the main hall seemed to be Ying Zheng deliberately putting on a show in front of the lords of the Western Regions.

However, what the ministers didn't know was that after the banquet was over.The left and right prime ministers, Chen Ping, Feng Qujiu, were summoned by Ying Zheng to the main hall.

The former Prince's Mansion is no longer the bustling city it used to be.Even, even some servants in the mansion are much less than before.

Fusu, dressed in white, faced the moonlight, sitting silently in the courtyard, drinking wine.

Beside him was Han Fei who had removed the bronze mask and restored his true face.

"How about it, this wine should have a different flavor." Han Fei looked at Fusu drunkenly and said with a smile.

"Indeed. It's really not easy for the teacher to find so many kinds of wine." Fusu also smiled, and drank the wine in the cup again.

"Your Highness, His Majesty called you into the palace..." behind the two, Tian Su said with a heavy tone, holding his sword.

Fusu and Han Fei held the hand of the wine bottle and had a meal at the same time.

"Understood!" Fusu stood up, and said to the maid standing beside him, "Prepare hot water and clothes."

"Here."

Fusu drank, although he was not drunk, but already smelled of alcohol all over his body.

Fu Su knew that his father disliked drinking the most.Even for those huge banquets, Ying Zheng never drank more than three glasses.

When all the servants around were sent away by Fusu, Han Fei got up and said, "The lords of the countries in the Western Regions have just been moved to Xianyang. Presumably, your majesty's summoning you into the palace this time should have something to do with the Western Regions. You have to take good care of it!"

"Teacher, do you think my father hasn't given up on me?" Fusu asked with a wry smile and glanced at Han Fei.

"Hahaha!"

However, unexpectedly, Han Fei raised his head and laughed loudly.

Not to mention Fusu, even Tian Su, who hadn't left yet, looked at Han Fei in astonishment.

"If His Majesty really abandons you, do you think he will stay by your side?" Han Fei pointed at Tian Su and asked.

"But..." On Fusu's face, there was a little complicated color.

"The teacher also knows that I have been the emperor for four years after all. Now that the emperor is in power again, how should I deal with my status as the second?"

"You underestimate His Majesty's mind too much." Han Fei shook his head and said, "Don't say you are powerless now, even if you have a voice in the government and the public, do you think it is better than a word from Your Majesty?"

"This……"

"Don't say it's you. Now in the army, Wu Anjun, General Wang Jian, General Wang Ben, and even Li Mu, who's prestige is not as good as yours? Your Majesty can tolerate them who hold heavy soldiers, how can you not tolerate you?" This eldest son?"

"I understand..." Fusu bowed his hands to Han Fei again and saluted.

By the time Fusu entered the palace, the Xianyang Palace was already quiet.

Except for the creaking carriage and the occasional footsteps, there was no sound at all.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the eldest son has arrived."

When Fusu walked into the hall, there were still a few figures sitting around.

And under the main hall, on the right side of the nearest seat, a familiar figure made Fusu's footsteps pause slightly.

"Feng went to pay a quick visit to His Royal Highness the eldest son."

"Chen Ping pays homage to His Royal Highness the eldest son."

"Li Si...greetings to His Royal Highness the eldest son..."

In just a few months, Li Si changed from a majestic courtier who had known him for more than ten years to an old man dressed in commoner clothes and with white hair overnight.

"Fusu pays homage to the emperor, and I have seen you all!"

After Fu Su was slightly stunned, he quickly saluted.However, in my heart, I was inexplicably relieved.

Just like what Han Fei said before coming here.If Ying Zheng really wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

But now, Ying Zheng had summoned him.Chen Ping and Feng Quji were even present.Even Li Si, who was demoted to a commoner, was summoned.

It can be seen from this that Yingzheng must have a major event that needs him to complete.

"Could it be that you really want to go to the Western Regions?" Such thoughts became more and more firm in Fusu's heart.

"Since everyone is here, let's continue to talk about what I said earlier."

Above the main hall, Ying Zheng spoke again.It was as if he didn't care about Fusu at all.

"Your Majesty, is Rome really a country that emphasizes commerce over agriculture? If so, how will it support its people?"

As an old Qin native, Feng Quji's idea of ​​emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business has long been deeply ingrained, and he simply does not believe that there are still countries in this world where merchants are the mainstay.

Merchants seek profit. In their minds, how can such a country prosper for a long time?

"That's right." Ying Zheng nodded slightly and replied affirmatively.

There was still a trace of disbelief in Feng Quji's eyes.However, due to Ying Zheng's power, he finally didn't open his mouth to ask again.

"Li Si, would you like this trip to Rome?" Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Li Si again and asked coldly.

Li Si, with gray hair, stood up tremblingly, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty is willing to entrust you with important tasks again, and I will not hesitate to do so!"

"Go get ready!" Ying Zheng waved at the three of them, signaling them to back off.

All three of them were taken aback for a moment, but then they bent down and saluted, "Here!"

"Why, it's strange, why did I call you?" After Feng Quji, Li Si and others left, Ying Zheng walked down the hall slowly, looked at Fu Su and asked.

Fusu didn't know how to answer Ying Zheng, so he could only bend down, his attitude becoming more and more respectful.

"Han Fei, do you also think that I will transfer you to the Western Regions?" Ying Zheng asked again with a chuckle.

Fusu was startled, nodded, but still didn't speak.

"Would you like to go to Rome?" Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and asked in a daze.

"Yes!" Fusu responded without thinking.

A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face again, and he nodded and said, "For the next few days, spend time with your queen mother. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a few years."

"Here!"

　Some book friends said that two months from the Western Regions to Xianyang is very fast, and they cited many examples to prove that, for example, it takes half a year to go back and forth from Handan to Shouchun.However, what the author wants to say is that the speed of the missions you mentioned, as well as taking office, is incomparable with the speed of the military.In ancient times, it was the world of the gentry. During the journey, many celebrities would receive many invitations. It was normal for them to have a meal and stay for a month or so.Let’s take an example of the army. In 224 BC, Li Xin attacked Chu, and then Wang Jian took over to attack Chu, and it took a total of more than two years to reach Kuaiji.Excluding most of the combat time, you can calculate how much time is really spent on the road.Therefore, two months to Xianyang is already very slow.And this is still official history. The world of Qin Shi was originally a world of high martial arts beyond the normal world, so it should be understandable, right?
