half a month later.

Time soon came to the birthday of the Queen Mother.

Yin Lie burst into tears and copied Zhongyong a hundred times.

There are more than 500 words in total about this Confucian mean...

a hundred times.

35 words.

Divided by fifteen days, it equals that Yin Lie has to write more than 2 words every day!

It’s really not easy!

Just for this hard work...

Yin Lie felt that he was worthy of the life of the ancestor of the Kong family.

The old guy is over 100 years old.

I don’t know when to kick my legs...

If the death of the ancestor of the Kong family is entirely blamed on him.

Yin Lie might have to roll his eyes severely.

During this period of time when he was immersed in calligraphy practice.

It’s not just the Queen Mother’s birthday that is about to start.

I heard that the marriage between Jun Hou Renxiao and Tu Jinxuan has also been officially put on the agenda.

The good news is...

Tu Jinxuan once again achieved new breakthroughs in research on two-crop rice and wheat cultivation.

Guowei Tu Ju did not do anything to stop his eldest daughter from doing this, nor did he ask any questions.

The main thing is a...

I only care about your marriage.

The rest is up to you.

Yin Lie said that he was quite surprised by Guowei Tuju's educational policy.

He originally thought that a father like Tu Ju... would be extremely controlling...

You can see this by comparing Wang Jian and Meng Wu.

The top military and military elites of Da Qin had very strict family traditions.

outside.

Basically, what Wang Jian says is whatever it is, and it is impossible for Wang Ben to refute it.

Meng Wu also had the same intimidating power in front of Meng Tian and Meng Yi.

At this time, watch Tu Jinxuan and Tu Ju again...

To be honest, Tu Jinxuan really had a high degree of freedom.

After all, the relationship between Tu Ju and Yin Lie is already known to be incompatible.

However, Tu Jinxuan could still decide whether to participate in the two-crop rice and wheat planting technology led by Yin Lie, and Tu Ju did not interfere much.

of course.

Maybe that's why.

Tu Jinxuan chose to obey her father's orders when it came to marriage.

Because she understands that...marriage is the bottom line of her father's education.

If she doesn't acquiesce to this bottom line.

Tu Ju will definitely use his methods.

At that time.

The quarrel between father and daughter is probably not going to be pretty.

At last.

Regarding the investigation of the Dongjun meteorite case by the ninth lieutenant of Heibingtai, Yin Lie gave a name: Heifu.

That is, a guard picked out from the veteran village by the military commander Ren Xiao.

After investigation by Black Ice Platform.

Heifu is still alive.

The previous guard was recommended by the military lord Ren Xiao and was sent to Taiyuan County as a county magistrate.

Everything is checkable.

in this way.

The Ninth Lieutenant then conducted a detailed investigation of all the personnel changes in the residence of Military Marquis Renxiao before and after the Dongjun meteorite incident broke out.

That is, where these people came from, where they went, why they were recommended, and whether they are on duty now...

The black ice platform has been mapped out in detail.

no problem!

Correct.

Everything can be checked.

Military Marquis Ren Xiao indeed recommended many people to serve as officials and serve as subordinates under Jiu Qing.

But this is allowed.

After all, the empire currently has a huge shortage of officials.

Ying Zheng encouraged all major civil and military officials in Guanzhong to recommend as many available talents as possible.

then.

Those who are really capable will choose to stay in Guanzhong as an errand, or it would be better to be a subordinate in Beijing.

If you are at an embarrassing level where you have a lot of skills but not much, then you can only let it go.

And all officials and ministers must have recommenders!

That's right!

If you don't have connections, it's impossible to become an official.

There are three levels of approval, recommendation, and recommendation!
After everything is over.

Only then can he officially take up the position of errand.

This gave major aristocratic families the opportunity to seek official positions and territory.

Ying Zheng naturally knew it in his heart.

But these Guanzhong heroes accompanied Ying Zheng to defeat Jiuzhou, and they should share the world with the emperor.

Ying Zheng did not adopt the enfeoffment system.

It just divided the existing bureaucratic resources on the basis of the county system.

therefore.

Only the [Integrity Official] and [Incorruptible Official] systems proposed by Yin Lie are feasible.

to be honest.

Even if there is a fat job, there are always forces from all sides keeping an eye on it. Even if you queue up for a round, you will not be able to get the Central Plains scholar class.

Even Ying Zheng would not favor the Central Plains officials.

In the heart of the First Emperor, Guanzhong Civil and Military was always his right-hand man.

that's the truth.

Ying Zhengneng allowed the implementation of the mausoleum system and started the construction of five large and luxurious mausoleums.

This is already very prescient.

If we now rashly re-appoint Central Plains officials and suppress the Guanzhong class...

Not suitable!
The First Emperor could not abandon his heroes.

Closer to home.

The Junwu Xungui faction showed no signs of weakness.

There is no direct clue at all.

Yin Lie wants to use the method of investigating the case to set off a major purge of the military and military factions...

Too hard too hard!
then what should we do?

Naturally, we still have to find a breakthrough from Meng Wu.

The strongest fortress.

It can only be broken from the inside.

Meng Wu's status is high enough...

If the state captain Tu Ju wants to launch a southern expedition, he will have the power to nominate the general.

Tu Ju must have the support of Meng Wu.

Then support definitely needs to show some sincerity!
And loosen up your tone.

that's it.

The sun rises in the east.

Yin Lie had a detailed chat with Donghuang in the carriage heading to Xianyang Palace.

"What did Meng Wu say?"

If Yin Lie can't find any more opportunities from Meng Wu, he will have no choice but to go directly to the former national preceptor Wei Liaozi!

Go up and show your cards directly!
No one else can solve the Dongjun meteorite case except you, Wei Liaozi!
I have to catch you...

Anyway, he is the former national preceptor, so as long as he does not punish him, there is nothing serious wrong with him.

"I'm afraid you don't like what Marquis Wu means."

Donghuang is still so dignified and graceful.

Yin Lie touched his chin: "Let me guess?"

Donghuang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Qin Yucheng, I think you may not be able to guess Wuhou's proposal this time."

"I'm still somewhat sure of Meng Wu's thoughts."

Yin Lie was never used to calling Meng Wu Marquis of Wu.

Because in his heart.

Marquis Wu was named Zhuge.

"Meng Wu probably hopes that I will take a step back and let Lieutenant Tu Ju successfully launch a large-scale southern expedition!"

Yin Lie took a deep breath and continued: "Later, when Tu Ju officially shows off and cooperates with Meng Wu, Meng Wu will be able to truly understand everything about Tu Ju's behind-the-scenes layout. Right?"

Donghuang opened his mouth slightly and said: "Yes..." Donghuang discovered that Yin Lie was not only smart, but more importantly...

It’s really great to see the big picture.

That's why Yin Lie took one chance and guessed Meng Wu's proposal.

"Obviously."

Donghuang tilted his head slightly and said: "Marquis Wu is testing you to see whether you trust him. If we don't even have this trust in him, it will be difficult to cooperate."

"Meng Wu is right."

Yin Lie frowned: "When it comes to investigating the case, all the captains in Black Ice Platform are not vegetarians. If we look for evidence casually, we can prove the guilt of Captain Tu Ju. There is no need for the emperor to secretly use me."

What Ying Zheng wants is the complete truth.

Namely: Who was behind the East County meteorite case?Who does it?
How many people are in charge?

Are the former Imperial Preceptor Wei Liaozi and Imperial Lieutenant Tu Ju the chief envoys?
Or maybe it was just Tu Ju!
And how many major military princes, insiders, participants, indirect participants, and unconscious participants of the Junwu Xungui faction are there?And who are they!

Also!

Is the Junwu Wang family also involved?

In summary.

This case involves too much!

It’s so big that even Ying Zheng has to be careful!

Because if you are not careful, the foundation of the empire may be shaken!

note!

The great purge of the Junwu Xungui faction was not just about punishing a few military princes and the third prince, Tu Ju, in accordance with the law!
But all the elected officials and ministers related to them must be beaten to the end!
How many people does this have to involve?

If we really want to investigate deeply...

Ying Zheng is likely to face a situation where no one is available.

Just like Chongzhen came to power in the late Ming Dynasty and killed Wei Zhongxian, as for the eunuchs... Chongzhen couldn't kill them all.

After all, when Wei Zhongxian was at the height of his power, even Yuan Chonghuan built a shrine to Wei Zhongxian.

There is no way to get to the bottom of this...

But I had to check!

Bringing destiny to force the imperial power!
Ying Zheng is absolutely intolerable.

suddenly.

"Qin Yucheng, you are a little presumptuous."

Donghuang smiled lightly and said: "I think the reason why His Majesty chose you to reuse you to thoroughly investigate the Dongjun meteorite case is because you are not a member of the Guanzhong civil and military faction, you have a clean background, and you are upright and trustworthy!"

"Hahaha!"

Yin Lie couldn't help but laugh twice when he heard this, and said: "If you put it like that, I always feel that the moment I find out the truth about the Dongjun meteorite case, I will follow in the footsteps of Lord Shang."

Why did Shang Yang die?

There are too many people offended!
There is no way it will end well!
And if Yin Lie investigates the Dongjun meteorite case and carries out a purge of the entire Junwu Xungui faction...

True!

The military class will be severely damaged!
But the civil and military forces in Guanzhong will definitely become more entwined until Yin Lie is pressed to death!
"His Majesty……"

Donghuang licked his red lips and said, "His Majesty said that he would not treat meritorious officials harshly."

"never mind."

Yin Lie said with a carefree smile: "A game will always end... The difference is that I hope that when I exit, it will be brilliant enough!"

There are many ways to die.

Yin Lie will definitely choose the most awesome one!

"Send a message to Meng Wu."

Yin Lie thought deeply: "This is a big matter and I need to consider it."

Yin Lie feels that Meng Wu's proposal is quite feasible!
But there are also many risks!
First: Meng Wu might very well have jumped to the side of Guo Wei Tu Ju and tricked him.

Notice!

Once the Southern Expedition is launched, let Guo Wei Tu Ju take the initiative!

That's it!
All Yin Lie's previous efforts will be in vain!

As for whether Yin Lie can take the lead in the Southern Expedition...

There is no chance.

There is only one Li Xin!
The Northern Expedition can use blitzkrieg, while the Southern Expedition can only set off a large-scale battle of 50 warriors.

This size...

Only Guowei Tu Ju has the connections, resources, and reputation.

Yin Lie's ability to lead the [-]-strong Lightning Northern Expedition was all due to the emperor's favoritism.

The Southern Expedition was a war on a scale that Ying Zheng could not do even if he wanted to take sides.

The whole country must be mobilized!
At that time.

Tu Ju, the national captain, will not only be able to take the lead in the Southern Expedition, but also the right to speak in the court and the right to formulate policies will also be vested in Tu Ju.

Yin Lie will be eliminated at the card table on the spot!

Second: Even if Meng Wu did not jump to the side of Guo Wei Tu Ju...

If Meng Wu wants to obtain evidence about the Dongjun meteorite case from the hands of Guowei Tu Ju, he may have to go through a fierce mutual game.

therefore.

Yin Lie needs to bet on two probabilities.

Meng Wu's loyalty to the First Emperor!

And Meng Wu cannot be completely manipulated in his cooperation with Guo Wei Tu Ju!
In summary.

If you think about it carefully.

Yin Lie thinks...it seems like it's not a bad idea to take a gamble!

His chances of winning are obviously greater than that of Guo Wei Tu Ju!
Yin Lie never doubted the loyalty of the Meng family to the First Emperor.

He never thought that Meng Wu would favor him...

This is impossible.

Yin Lie only recommended Meng Yi to become the leader of the voyage.

This little friendship can make Yin Lie and Meng Wu stand together and talk, but it is not enough to make Meng Wu completely choose Yin Lie...

The only person who could make Meng Wu surrender was the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

And Meng Wu's political wisdom, personal acumen, luck and so on.

Obviously they are all up to standard.

After all, Mengwu even salvaged Jiuding this year!
What a good time!
"It has been notified secretly."

Donghuang bit his red lips and said, "It's just that you didn't think about it for long, because the best way to launch a southern expedition is...the life of the Minyue Crown Prince!"

Donghuang apparently also received the news that the Minyue Crown Prince wanted to challenge Yin Lie on the birthday of Queen Mother Zhao Ji.

"I'm thinking……"

Yin Lie looked out the window and said: "After the Southern Expedition was launched, we immediately attacked the Junwu Xungui faction and carried out a general purge. How will we deal with the empire's Southern Expedition and Northern War at that time?"

Donghuang: "..."

Yin Lie closed his eyes and said: "I have to find a way to achieve the internal cleansing of Great Qin from military to civil while maintaining the overall situation."

Donghuang: "..."

Donghuang said it was too difficult.

They have to launch a southern expedition to help Meng Wu further understand the plan of Guowei Tu Ju.

And we have to maintain the overall situation of the empire during the subsequent purge of the Wu Xungui faction in the army...

Very contradictory!

The Southern Expedition cannot be launched if the overall situation is maintained.

Without launching the Southern Expedition, the relationship between Meng Wu and Tu Ju would not be deepened.

Unsolvable problem!
There is no way to break the game!

"Cough cough."

Donghuang tentatively said: "Otherwise...if it really doesn't work, let's change the direction of the investigation."

Yin Lie shook his head and said: "The opportunity is right in front of me. If I can't seize it, it only means that I have no ability!"

Donghuang: "..."

Donghuang heard this and stopped trying to persuade him. Anyway, without Yin Lie, the Yin Yang family would not be what it is today.

She is willing to live and die with Yin Lie and share their fate.

Soon.

The luxurious carriage arrived in front of the main entrance of Xianyang Palace.

Just as Yin Lie and Donghuang got off the bus.

Donghuang received another piece of news.

Yin Lie asked: "What's wrong?"

Donghuang said solemnly upon hearing this: "The former Imperial Master Wei Liaozi... Yunyou is back!"

Yin Lie raised his eyebrows: "Didn't he get a seal to become an official? Did he bring this back?"

this critical moment.

Wei Liaozi returns...

This is definitely not good news for Yin Lie!

"Maybe it's the Queen Mother's birthday, and Your Majesty went to specially invite her."

Donghuang obviously had not received any news before.

Also normal.

Wei Liaozi's dragon sees its head but not its tail.

It is basically impossible for the Yin and Yang family to find out Wei Liaozi's connections.

"Ha ha!"

Yin Lie shrugged and said, "It seems that the Queen Mother's birthday this year is destined to be unforgettable in this lifetime!"

Donghuang: "..."

The two of them entered the palace together!

Until noon!
The Queen Mother’s birthday banquet has officially begun!
