Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 377: The Meng family is the only one in power, and one can see the sky from the inside (please give me a monthly recommendation!)
The west wind is fierce, the fierce horse Qin Jian.

As the sun sets, the willows on the dam are getting thinner.

There were countless back figures on the fields, and the cries of more children could be heard in the fields of Xianyang.

Meng Yi was a civil servant, so he declined to attend such a grand gathering as the Autumn Hunting Festival.Firstly, he didn't want to see Lu Sheng's group of sorcerers, and secondly, he was a little disappointed with all the ministers in the court.

Meng Yi was driving the carriage alone, and behind him were two government officials following him through the fields.On this day, in the remote and peaceful suburbs of Xianyang, where the sky is wide and the fields are wide, listening to the roar of the mother river of Wei River, his heart gradually became calmer.

In the four fields, there was a melodious Xun sound.

Meng Yi looked at the lush autumn grass, listened to the laughter of children in the four fields, and looked at the smoke from the kitchen. His mood also entered a good state with the melodious sound of the shepherd boy.

"The truce was used to support the people, not only in Guanzhong, but also in Guandong. The population of the people in Guandong has also begun to gradually increase. The population of the old Zhao land, which had a declining population, has also steadily recovered."

"only……"

The official asked:

"Is Ting Wei worried?"

"This Zhao Gao has always pretended to be a tiger. Long before I became an official, I heard people say that this Zhao Gao relied on His Majesty's trust and favor to invade other people's land outside the palace and thought it was his own."

As for Li Si, he has always turned a blind eye to Zhao Gao's affairs.

Other ministers also knew about this.But this Zhao Gao just stood firm.

"Now, he is taking advantage of His Majesty the Emperor to be too close to those sorcerers. Instead of discouraging him, he is fanning the flames in order to prevent chaos in the world. I heard that Zhao Gao was seen using the Emperor's carriage and horses to return home a few days ago. This is disrespectful to His Majesty."

After hearing this, the official thought for a moment and then asked:

"Is Tingwei going to expose Zhao Gao?"

Meng Yi shook his head.

"Zhao Gao has always been good at words. The occupation of the fields is not enough to punish Zhao Gao for a serious crime; but for using your majesty's horses and horses, he is the doctor's order and your majesty is close to him. He will definitely have many reasons to explain when the time comes."

"Since Lieutenant Ting knows, why are you still troubled?"

"I'm just worried about Your Majesty. Your Majesty is surrounded by villains nowadays. I've heard that good advice is harsh to the ears but helpful to the deeds, and good medicine is bitter to the mouth and helpful to the sick. But now Your Majesty only likes to listen to flattery. Some senior ministers in the court saw His Majesty like this, and they all expressed their regrets. If this continues, the country will definitely be in danger."

"Three generations of my Meng family have received great kindness from the royal family of the Qin Dynasty, and I have nothing to repay. When my late father left, he repeatedly told me on the bedside that my brother and I must swear allegiance to His Majesty. We must never do that. People who are powerful and have no regard for national affairs.”

After hearing this, the two government officials naturally felt sincere admiration for Meng Yi.

No wonder Meng Yi was promoted to Tingwei by His Majesty at a young age.

"Tingwei, I'm sorry for my words. I heard people say that no one is perfect and no one is perfect. Even His Majesty, the Emperor, is by no means perfect. The reason why Your Majesty is deceived by villains is because Your Majesty wants to complete His great achievements are too great. As for Xu Fu and other villains, once time passes, their fox tails will naturally show, and by then, Your Majesty will understand that he has been deceived by the villains."

"Time? Your Majesty is the lord of a country. An empire can allow Zhao Gaoyang to obey the law, but the empire cannot allow the emperor of a country to be obsessed with the art of immortality."

After hearing this, the two government officials stopped talking.

Meng Yi continued:
"It's hard to win people's hearts. You need to do many things to make others recognize you. But when it comes to losing people's hearts, which is not good for the country, it only takes one small thing to make your majesty lose all your previous achievements. I heard someone say a few days ago that if you are weak, When the ministers in Maojiao who were over sixty heard what His Majesty had done, they all threatened to go home."

"These people were all good ministers of the empire in the past and assisted His Majesty in establishing the country. However, these old ministers have disappeared one after another now."

"As for the family with military merit, they thought that the military system had been abolished, and most of the generals have now fallen silent. There is a widespread rumor among outsiders that my father and son of the Meng family are unique in the court, but they are just peeking into the sky. In fact, all the auxiliary ministers of our Great Qin Empire have been separated one by one. .”

The two government officials originally just went out for fun with Meng Yi. Unexpectedly, after hearing Meng Yi talk about the current situation in the DPRK, the two people's originally leisurely and contented mood suddenly became heavy.

"Tingwei, no matter how impatient you are, it won't help."

Meng Yi sighed.

"A few days ago, I first paid a visit to the queen, and then went to pay a visit to the prince. As the people closest to His Majesty in the palace, they all chose to protect themselves at this time and were unwilling to get involved in this matter. This made me It’s so heartbreaking.”

The official said:

"The queen is a woman after all. Your Majesty hates the female relatives interfering in politics the most. The queen never goes to the previous dynasty. The queen is naturally not happy when the court officials look for the queen. Furthermore, Lord Dongyang, I think Lord Dongyang is the one who is trembling. Although our Qin country Since the fifth generation, all princes have successfully succeeded to the throne. However, His Majesty the Emperor has changed the situation in the world, and even changed the situation in the court. Lord Dongyang is also on pins and needles at this time. Tingwei went to see these two people, and there was little hope. "

"But I can't just watch His Majesty be deceived by an adulterer."

"Your Majesty is too obsessed with the world. Even if you don't seek immortality, sooner or later you will do other things to make up for this shortcoming. I believe that the Tingwei should also wait and see what happens. There will eventually be a solution to this matter."

Meng Yi felt that the two government officials had been talking for a long time to persuade him not to contradict the emperor.

But Meng Yi was not reconciled.

Meng Yi looked at Siye with determination in his eyes.

He must find the weaknesses of people like Xu Fu and Lu Sheng and then tell His Majesty.

Didn't Xu Fu say that it would take three to five years to find the elixir for His Majesty?This is ridiculous.

He must expose the true colors of these people.

Even if he is the only loyal person left in the court.

The two government officials are much older than Meng Yi.

Looking at Meng Yi's expression, they knew what he was thinking.It's not that the two of them have nothing to do with each other, but in fact, they know the emperor better, and they also understand people's hearts better.

If the emperor himself cannot let go of his obsession, no matter how much others say, it will ultimately be meaningless.

Your Majesty is just too strong.

……

……

……

Shanglin Court.

Autumn hunting is actually a grand ceremony.

Reward those who have made meritorious deeds.

Without a few young masters who wanted to show off, and without famous generals like Li Xin, the autumn hunt this time was indeed deserted.

The weather is warm today, with a few clouds in the sky. The grass and trees on the back of the overcast mountains in the surrounding fields are gradually turning yellow.

Ying Zheng changed into his robes, but he no longer looked as strong as he had in his prime.

Ying Zheng always feels tired.

Ying Zheng began to ask Lu Sheng about the elixir.

Ying Zheng's personality dictates this.

Even if it is something like seeking immortality, he will definitely force it.

What he hates most is other people's excuses.

"Lu Sheng, I will give you a one-month period to present you with a life-prolonging elixir, otherwise, I will replace someone else to refine the elixir for me. As for Xu Fu, I will only give you one year."

After hearing this, Xu Fu and Lu Sheng both trembled.

Only then did Xu Fu and Lu Sheng begin to feel the horror of the First Emperor.

Originally, Ying Zheng regarded them as first-class guests, but some ministers in the court who had worked hard all their lives had never enjoyed such an honor.

Xu Fu and Lu Sheng thought that Emperor Qin was kind-hearted at first, but when they received such an order, both of them felt extremely fearful in their hearts.

(I heard that Qidian stopped showing small ads, so many people ran away?)
