My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 565: Provoke me? (Please give me a tip to book all the monthly passes!)

In Qin Dong Tomb, thatched houses are sparsely lined up along the river bank.

Chickens, ducks and geese pecked at the fine grains of sand on the shore, walking aimlessly within the fenced area, leaving messy footprints on the soft mud.

A simple carriage walked along the path along the river bank.

Following the trail to the west, you can vaguely see a high and raised mausoleum.

There are many bungalows around the mausoleum.

There is no bustle like Xianyang City here, and you can even hear the sound of chickens walking in the forest.

Don't tell me a carriage is coming.

When the residents in the hut heard the sound, they thought it was their son who had returned, and they all came out and stood at the door to look around.

The driver sat upright, followed by sixteen warriors, none of whom were riding horses and followed the chariot on foot.

The days were very easy, but there was an indescribable bitterness.

The world seemed to have stopped.

In the courtyard, there was a young man sitting.

When people are frustrated, they can often listen to the good words in books.

"Who dares to break into the mausoleum of the Queen Mother Zhao, the birth mother of the current king?!"

These children provoked them for a long time, but no one did anything to them at all. Naturally, they all started to feel itchy and started talking again.

He was fascinated by the book and even talked to the bamboo slips and the person who wrote the book.

He is the master here and the most powerful person on this mountain.

It was noon, while others were taking a nap at home, but he was talking to the bamboo slips alone.

They held branches and slumped them around their waists, and it couldn't be said that they didn't have any momentum.

The driver pretended to be fierce.

There was nothing to do all day long. The man just sat at home watching the changes in the stars and reading classic books.

"Do you know who my father is? My father is Zuo Qing, an official!"

There are also many medium-sized houses around it.

But when these kids saw this, they played even harder, "Hey! You are the first one who dares to talk to us."

Coming to Dongling from Xianyang, it was like being thrown from the human world into the wilderness. There were no scholars to interact with him, so he and the villagers could only talk about everyday things.

He is an extremely handsome young man, wearing a very exquisite copper crown with crane patterns carved on it.

"Yeah. I think so."

"I can bury them all."

The carriage passed by slowly, and as it got closer to the tomb, the original flat houses disappeared one by one.

"A coward?"

At this time, there are also a group of people who don’t know how to take a nap.

The group of children looked at the carriage, and it was clear that there were more than a dozen warriors following behind it, all of them big and round.

If it had been anyone else, this matter would have been over. But how dare you offend me!
He opened the curtain.

"How dare you offend us? You really think you live too long."

"Who is that person in the carriage?"

Only on the hillside high ground to the left of the mausoleum, a large mansion suddenly fell on it.

The man in the car clenched his fists when he heard this.

"My father is a doctor."

The driver couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw it.

"Where did you come from? Get out of the way, or I'll smash your butts!"

The carriage was about to go up the hillside when several children suddenly jumped out of the ditch.

Down the hillside, the grandchildren of common people were hiding in the ditch with the loaches. When they played, they did so secretly and silently.

In short, Ma shook his head when he saw these children.

But in their eyes, these people are just straw men.

His wife thinks he is crazy.

His body was covered in mud and he couldn't even see his face clearly.

"My father doesn't change."

The leader of the children, wearing crotchless pants, showed his identity to the person in front of him, and then clasped his hands in fists.

Others revealed their identities one after another.

They said among themselves, "I can take them all down by myself."

"Ignorant country boy. Don't you know that all the military meritorious officials in our Qin country are nothing but mere doctors?"

"Throw them all into the ditch!"

When the warriors behind him heard this, they were all surprised. How could the young master be at odds with the furry children? Look how cute they are.

And everyone felt that if the news spread about being angry with such a brat, it would be a loss of face for the young master.

However, the man in the carriage is like this, he loves people more seriously.

Even if they are children, he still has to be serious with them.

Just as they hesitated, a ball of mud hit them in the face.

"Hey--"

"Hey--"

As they fought, the victors laughed.

These warriors couldn't stand it any longer. The strong man in the lead picked up two children in each arm, and another in his hand, and threw them all into the mud ditch on one side.

"Sneak attack! Sneak attack!"

"The tomb robbers are coming, the tomb robbers are coming!"

The children cried loudly.

"I want to tell my mother."

When the young man on the carriage heard this, he smiled with satisfaction at the people who were thrown into the mud pit.

Me? You've finally hit the wall.

Soon, the carriage continued to move forward. After reaching the hillside, the driver got out of the carriage and said respectfully.

"Young Master, we are here."

Meng Yi got off the carriage and looked at the villagers, women and children playing by the stream from the hillside.

He let out a long breath, "If I stay here for a long time, I'm afraid I'll suffocate to death."

People in the house heard the sound of a car, and a naughty boy stood up.

"Who is coming?"

"Meng Yi, the senior official of the State of Qin, is here to visit Duke Dongling. Please tell me the truth, my friend."

The boy touched the back of his head and responded respectfully to the person who bowed to him.

"I will tell you the truth."

Back in the yard, the child touched the back of Shaoping's head and said, "Junhou, there is a mean-looking man outside and wants to see you."

Shao Ping frowned, "But what is his name?"

"forget."

"Is your surname Meng?"

"That's right, his surname is Meng."

Shaoping smiled and said, "This is an honored guest. You must not make mistakes. Do not lie."

The child looked at his father and nodded. It's just that there are many doubts in my heart.

'Didn't my father say that you must not be arrogant? The man outside the door was so arrogant. My father had disliked such people in the past. Why was he so happy to receive him this time? '

When the door was opened, Lord Dongling came out.

He was dressed in plain white clothes and had a thin face.

"Brother Meng, are you alright?"

When Meng Yi saw Shaoping's miserable appearance, he stepped forward and hugged him.

"I'm fine. Unlike you, you're suffering here."

Meng Yi said, looking around at Shaoping's mansion here.

Needless to say, the furnishings are not as luxurious as the Xianyang mansion. It only has a large courtyard with more than a dozen big trees.

There are not many servants.

Shaoping's face was dull and he just pretended that nothing happened, "It's nothing. I'm fine here."

"You've become like this." Shaoping's eyes were sunken, and although his face was rosy, he no longer had the bravery of the past.

He is like a flower that withered prematurely.

The person Meng Yi came to see this time was his best friend in Xianyang City!

It's just that this person is Shaoping Dongling, the Duke of Dongling who provided strategies to Xiao He, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty in history.

During the Qin Dynasty, he was named Donglinghou and was responsible for the care and management of the mausoleum of Zhao Ji, the birth mother of the First Emperor. When the Qin Dynasty was destroyed by the Han Dynasty, they were reduced to commoners. They planted melons outside the southeast gate of Chang'an City. The melons were delicious and had five-color skin. The world called them "Aventurine melons."

The two came to their seats.

Shaoping guessed that Meng Yi must be up to something good, so he came to visit him.

So he was given the best wine, and the chef was asked to catch fresh fish and kill pigs and chickens to entertain the guests.

Meng Yi pulled Shaoping and confided to him the injustice he saw in the court. "In the past, there was Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC, who messed up the harem, colluded with the ministers, and set up secret spies. He had no bottom line. Your Majesty only listened to one side and believed the other. I united with all the ministers to remonstrate with him, but I was unable to overthrow him!"

"Later I discovered that the high-ranking minister Yao Jia secretly accepted bribes from our Qin state. Isn't this colluding with foreign countries?"

"Old Zongzheng is old and has never been involved in government affairs. The new Zongzheng has inherited his style and turned a deaf ear to the chaos within the royal family."

"Wang Li, the grandson of Marquis Wucheng, relied on his ancestral merits many times to run rampant in Xianyang City. When he saw a daughter of a good family, he allowed his men to rob her. His grandfather and father expressly ordered him not to lead troops, but he was unwilling to give in. He once left Xianyang privately. , went to the army to bribe the generals, and wanted to be the commander of a thousand soldiers. General Ben personally sent him to the Tingwei Mansion. "

"The Tingwei actually concluded that he was not guilty, and even ran to apologize to General Ben."

"Guowei is an expert outside the world. He does not dislike the hypocrisy and snobbishness of everyone in the Qin Dynasty. He has made suggestions for Qin to unify the country. But your Majesty..."

Shaoping listened and quickly grabbed Meng Yi's clothes.

"The food is ready. Eat it first."

"Where are the ripe vegetables?" Meng Yi pointed to the table, "They are all vegetables and fruits. There are no ripe vegetables anywhere."

"Eat something first to fill your stomach. You must be hungry along the way."

"Come here by car, why are you hungry?"

If we talk about Meng Yi, he is still very smart. But he knew that he didn't know how to be flexible in front of others, so he was very reserved in front of people outside Xianyang City, for fear of being noticed.

But in front of his friends, he didn't worry about his shortcomings being exposed at all.

Shaoping persuaded again.

Meng Yi's chest was full of obstacles, and he suddenly became excited again.

"I don't want to eat! Is it because I am short of delicious food that I come to you?!"

If it were anyone else, they would definitely think it was an offense to him.

But Shaoping won't.

Shaoping was also helpless.

"It seems that you are depressed in Xianyang City."

"Of course!" Meng Yi put down the wine jue so hard that all the wine in the jue was thrown onto the table. "I hate that I don't have enough power and no one listens to what I say."

Meng Yi said, his eyes full of pain.

Shaoping looked at Meng Yi and suddenly had a guess about the current situation in the court.

Since he was slandered and ostracized by the King of Qin, and was driven from Xianyang City to guard the mausoleum of the Queen Mother Zhao, his political career was over.

Turning to Meng Yi, he has a huge family behind him. The Meng family is prosperous, and there are many talented people in the clan. His father, a Marquis of Che, held a very high position in the court.

But such a person feels depressed even in the court, which shows that the atmosphere in the court is getting worse and worse.

This is all because the king is determined to let the villain take power.

"I know, so what can I do?"

Shaoping picked up the wine cup and drank, trying not to face those dark things head-on.

"Look here, the scenery is picturesque."

"Living in a mountain village, a deserted place, how can such picturesque scenery come from."

Meng Yi stared at the mountains and fields. He hated Dongling.

Not only was the king's biological mother, the Queen Mother Zhao, buried here, but his brothers were also trapped.

"If you can be with me in Xianyang City and we talk to the emperor together, are you afraid that others will not be afraid of us? You are the Marquis of Dongling and I am the Zhongdafu. If we join forces, we can barely count myself as the eldest brother. By then we will be able to blow a wind of innovation in the government!”

Shaoping looked at Meng Yi and hesitated to speak.

"I can't get out of Dongling Mountain, so how can I talk about discussing affairs in the court? Since my father's death, I have no one to rely on in the court. The king only named me the Marquis of Dongling for the sake of my late father."

"Nonsense, people obviously hate your talent and can't stand your integrity. That's why they kicked you out. How can you tell lies with your eyes open."

After hearing this, Shaoping just lowered his head.

Meng Yi is a stupid young man, and I am the only one willing to be friends with him.

Shaoping's wife was accompanying the two of them on one side. Seeing that Meng Yi was still exactly the same as ten years ago, she couldn't help but snicker.

"What a fool, a madman."

Meng Yi looked at the beautiful and dignified woman beside him, "What are you talking about, sister-in-law?"

"When you don't come, my husband often talks about you, saying that you have forgotten him. When you come, my husband looks like he wants you to leave right away."

Meng Yi was very surprised when he heard it.

"Ping-sister-in-law is telling the truth. It seems that you miss me a lot. But I am busy with official duties and don't have as much time as you to be sad. Guess why I drove to see you in person this time."

Shaoping just looked at Meng Yi. He was really sorry that such a good person like Meng Yi had a mouth.

"I won't listen. Don't say anything either. Eat and leave!"

"How can that be done? This is not the way to treat guests." Meng Yi looked at Shaoping's wife, "Sister-in-law, don't you think so?"

"Whatever Doctor Zhong wants to say, just say it quickly. Look how hard you are holding it in."

Meng Yi was really anxious, his face turned red!
The main thing is that his good brother actually said this in front of his sister-in-law.

Meng Yi still looked at Shaoping.

The two of them were sitting across the table from each other. Meng Yi was so excited that he rolled up his mat and arrived in front of Shaoping's case. Gradually, he himself sat on Shaoping's mat.

Shaoping also moved again and again, and had already moved from the main position.

Shaoping felt that something was wrong with Meng Yi, "What are you doing? Just say what you want. There are so many things."

How could there be someone in the world who clearly knows that he or she is unsuccessful and yet comes here to bring up old matters again?

It has been almost five years since Shaoping came here.

Meng Yi saw him six times.

Every time he came here before, Meng Yi would talk to him straight to the point about the affairs of the country. Shao Ping was also very excited at first, wishing he could hold the sword at his waist and go do big things with Meng Yi.

Until I heard that Meng Yi was promoted again and again in the court, and even went directly to the court.

Shaoping began to feel that he could only become a listener in the future.

But this time, Meng Yi was obviously very different.

"Are you going on a long trip?" Shao's wife looked at Shaoping's expression and knew that he felt uncomfortable. Human personality is like a double-edged sword. Sometimes it is attractive, sometimes it is hurtful.

Meng Yi looked at Shao's wife, "Sister-in-law guessed it right."

"In the past, when I came here, the Chinese doctor would bring documents and judge together with my husband. This time it is very different from the past."

Shaoping looked at Meng Yi, "Are you really going to travel far away?"

In ancient times, taking a long trip carried the risk of never coming back. Even the generals of the empire, no matter how powerful they are and protected by heavy troops, are still powerless in the face of high mountains and long rivers.

Therefore, when the ancients wanted to travel far away, they had to explain a lot of things in advance and travel here and there to visit some important people.

"The king is going to send you out as a county guard?"

Shaoping always knew that the king intended to reuse Meng Yi. Judging from his promotion path, if he goes further up, he will have to go to a local official to accumulate qualifications. So going out to serve as a county guard is a sure thing.

Shaoping said, his face seemed to be covered with dust. He is only three months older than Meng Yi.

"I am going to Handan, State of Qi, with the prince."

Shaoping's eyes suddenly lit up, "I heard that the prince is determined to rectify the various schools of thought. Last year's Shanglin Garden Autumn Hunting event was even more popular. It is said that he will vigorously rectify the Confucian classics family and the descendants of the scholars. You will follow this time Could it be that the prince went to Handan for this matter."

Meng Yi suddenly became energetic again.

"It's just one of them. The king has already sent the prince to go out, how could it be just for the sake of the various families? I heard that the prince's main purpose of going this time is to frighten the six countries and to explore the way for the king."

"Exploring the path?"

"Yes, the king is determined to visit all countries in the future."

"Has your Majesty already raised the issue of confederation?" This is not like him. With his little magnanimity, he would get angry when someone scolded him, so how could he be willing to take the initiative to seize the country?

Meng Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I haven't heard about it. It sounds like it. How come such an important matter hasn't been discussed publicly."

"I guess they are waiting for the war to be over and the generals to come back from various places, and then imitate the Zhou Dynasty to enfeoff."

Shaoping heard this, waved his hands and smiled.

Shaoping, Zhang Cang, many talented people were squeezed out. Judging from the series of events in which King Qin trusted Zhao Gao, Li Si and others, it is unlikely that the King would seal the country.

But if he doesn't seal the country...

Is it necessary to implement the system of prefectures and counties throughout the world?

This is crazy.

"Incredible!" Shaoping said.

"What's wrong? I'm just doing what I've done in the past. What's wrong with it?"

Shaoping looked at Meng Yi, this idiot. He regarded the king as a good man and supported and respected him without any bottom line.

Although he gained the king's trust in this way, because he could not see the king's flaws, he sometimes harmed himself.

"I'm here just to tell you. If I come back this time after making great achievements, I will definitely make a case for you in front of the king and let you return to Xianyang. It has been difficult to speak up before because you can only guard the tomb here. Year."

"I think now, the time is ripe. Now that you have worked hard, and I personally say good things about you in front of the king for you, you will definitely be reused by the king soon."

Shao Ping shook his head, "You don't need to do this. And even if you do, I still won't be reused by the king."

"why?"

"My eyes have always looked at both sides of people and things, and will not just focus on one side. In my heart, nothing is absolutely what it should be."

Although Shaoping misses Xianyang, he has a deep understanding of human nature and knows that if a person is extremely talented but has no support behind him, there is no way he can gain a foothold in Xianyang.

He is just a talented person.

Being able to inherit the title of ancestors and being made a marquis is already a very good ending.

"Just let me and my family spend my life quietly in this mountain."
