Jagged Legion

He Xiaowang and Qin Ning got married smoothly, which was also the happiest moment in He Xiaowang's life.Less than half a month at home, the emperor assigned him a new mission. It turned out that the emperor sent Tu Ju to the Lingnan area to conquer the ethnic minorities there.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi were guarding the northwest and could not escape. Qin Shihuang thought that only He Xiaowang could lead the army.The 50 army is almost all the army of the Qin Dynasty. He is not at ease if it is handed over to others, but He Xiaowang is different. Now He Xiaowang has become the son-in-law of the Great Qin Kingdom. No matter how you say it, Xiao Wang has already become a member of the royal family.He Xiaowang immediately rushed to Afang Palace after receiving Qin Shihuang's edict.Qin Shihuang knelt down and said: "My son He Xiaowang kowtowed to the father!" The first emperor said: "Xiaowang, please get up quickly. I think you already know that I am looking for you today. Lingnan's military affairs are urgent. You and Ning'er just got married. I don't want you to go, but the imperial court has no one available, so I can only send you." He Xiaowang: "Father, as a minister of the Great Qin Kingdom, I should serve the imperial court. How can I covet personal happiness? Listen. The emperor arranges!" Shihuang: "Okay, it's just a tiger talisman, used to mobilize troops. I order you to take charge of an army of 50, and put the land south of Lingnan into our Great Qin Dynasty!" He Xiaowang: "I accept the order!" Shihuang: "Little Wang, my body is not as good as before, after all, I am old, and now I am thinking about how to quickly stabilize the situation, so the battle of Lingnan depends entirely on you." He Xiaowang: "I hope that the emperor will live forever , leading the Great Qin Dynasty to prosperity.” The First Emperor: “Come on, Xiaowang, you come to the back garden with me, let’s chat together, let go, don’t be restrained.” He Xiaowang: “Yes, I obey the order.” Qin Shihuang laughed loudly Smile: "I order you not to be restrained, just say so if you have anything to say, today I will give you this privilege!"

He Xiaowang went up to support the first emperor, but the first emperor did not retreat to the left and right, and only He Xiaowang followed him.The first emperor said: "Since I came to the throne at the age of 13, what can I say I haven't seen before? Open up the territory, destroy the six kingdoms, and return the four seas to one. Of course I am happy to see these, but being a generation of emperors is different from other people after all, and my heart is also the same. I don’t know what to do. I have to be vigilant to everyone around me every day. When I get old, I now dote on my beloved son Hu Hai, my beloved daughter Qin Ning, and my servant Zhao Gao.” He Xiaowang heard what Zhao Gao wanted to say , Qin Shihuang interrupted: "You may say that Zhao Gao is unusable and too insidious. But I, Qin Shihuang, is such a pleasing slave, and I also know that he and Hu Hai mess around all day long, and the success is more than failure. But I really like them in my heart. Fusu is indeed the one who governs the country and the dynasty 3. I am also relieved that Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and you are here to assist him. But Fusu is kind-hearted and kind-hearted. As an emperor, there is no one who is cruel. How can that be? I'm still worried. So I want to train him more in the northwest." He Xiaowang listened to the emperor, while beating his back for the emperor, and then poured two bowls of tea when he saw that there was tea in the garden pavilion. sit there.He Xiaowang said: "Since my father gave me this privilege today, I will act recklessly. Great Qin has loyal ministers! It goes without saying that the crown prince helped Su, but why do you send him to the border areas? For exercise, or for Punish him? The crown prince is dedicated to the country, and he has worked hard for the great Qin. You dote on Zhao Gao, but do you know what Zhao Gao has done behind his back?" The first emperor changed his face: "I know you have always been at odds with Zhao Gao , you will inevitably say something bad about him, you just always see Zhao Gao’s shortcomings.” He Xiaowang: “My Majesty, think about it, I am the prince and grand tutor, and now I am the son-in-law of Qin. , I have the money myself, what do you think I have to deliberately pursue? Why do I have to make things difficult for Zhao Gao? The key is that Zhao Gao sent someone to assassinate the prince!! And I was the one who helped the prince, so he would be like this I really hate me. For what? For the crown prince!"

The first emperor was shocked.The royal power struggles have always been very cruel. Qin Shihuang was able to get everything today by stepping on a personal corpse. Unexpectedly, his sons were preparing for a new round of power struggle.He Xiaowang continued: "Zhao Gao, it took a lot of painstaking efforts to prevent the crown prince from successfully defeating the Northwest Army! He colluded with Shan Yu and nearly killed General Meng Yi. Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it. Today I Just think of you as a father, and I am your son-in-law, just chatting like a farmer." Shi Huang said: "It's not that serious, this slave is also loyal to me. Well, you are to Zhao Gao The prejudice is too deep." He Xiaowang took a sip of tea: "Your Majesty, Rong Chen said a word! The loser! It must be Zhao Gaoye!"

The first emperor didn't say anything, and He Xiaowang said, "Your majesty, I will show you around." He Xiaowang helped the first emperor to the water's edge of the garden, looked at the fish swimming in the water, and the first emperor said, "Xiaowang, you Seeing how free the fish are swimming in the water, do you know why they live so leisurely?" He Xiaowang said: "I remembered the conversation between Zhuangzi and Huizi: 'A child is not a fish, but he knows the joy of a fish' we Here we may not be able to determine whether we are happy or not!" Emperor Shihuang laughed loudly: "We are here to talk heart-to-heart, we are happy, so don't worry too much about the fish's feelings. Xiaowang, it is also good to let you come today. Let you talk about the way of governing the country, just like this fish, how can we make their lives stable?"

He Xiaowang: "Fish want to live happily. They only need running water. Yes, with more and more ponds, more ponds are needed. Therefore, I think it is necessary to protect the land and expand the territory, but Protecting the quality of water is also very important. From the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties until the emperor wiped out the six kingdoms and established the Great Qin Dynasty, there has always been a law. That is, as long as China is stable and united, there will be no external threats. Conversely, as long as If there are changes and divisions that shake the foundation of China from within, foreign enemies will invade or even be destroyed. The Xia Dynasty, because the No. 15 Xia King Kong Jia, was good at alchemy and ghosts, caused the rebellion of the princes, and the Xia Dynasty gradually declined. Kong Jia passed on again and again In Xia Jie, he was a famous tyrant in history. He did not practice morality, was extravagant, killed countless people, used troops everywhere, wasted people and money, so that the people rebelled, the princes rebelled, and was finally destroyed by Shang Tang. Later, Shang also made the same mistake. , when King Zhou was in power, he was eliminated by the Western Zhou Dynasty because of his brutality, which led to internal rebellion. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, when King You of Zhou arrived, a beacon played against the princes, so that the princes did not go to court, and they were destroyed by the northern nomadic dog army. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes governed each other Invasions caused endless troubles in the north, and raised a century-old trouble - the Xiongnu. I think the emperor also understands why we have regained the Hexi Corridor and still let two generals, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, guard the northwest. Although we defeated the Xiongnu, we did not have the strength to make them In one fell swoop, the power of the Huns is still very strong, and they can only appease them. In the history of China, history has been repeated countless times, but it has never aroused people's vigilance. The threat of China never first appears from the outside, but It starts to fester from the inside first, and then invites oppression and invasion from the outside."

The First Emperor said: "Xiao Wang, what you said is really thorough and clear, but few people understand it. The Great Qin is facing such internal crises. The reason why I have been fighting for years is to make the The internal crisis has been delayed. Therefore, the task of conquering Lingnan is very difficult. I will not only conquer Lingnan, but also send you to take root in the Lingnan area, relocate the people, and open up a wider country." He Xiaowang: "What the emperor said Extremely, I heard the emperor's big talk today, and I suddenly understood, the emperor's good intentions, I will do my best to protect our Great Qin Empire!"

The First Emperor was chatting with He Xiaowang when suddenly someone came to report: "Princess Qin Ning is here to see you." The First Emperor said: "Let her in, girl." Beside the first emperor: "Father, what's the matter with you summoning Xiaowang?" The first emperor laughed loudly: "What's the matter, girl, you've only been married for a few days, and you're dating He Xiaowang? Is there any father?" I just borrowed it and made you so anxious?" Qin Ning persisted: "Father made fun of me again, where is it?" Shi Huang said: "Since you are here, let me tell you, you really want to be with me." He Xiaowang parted for a while. The Lingnan military affairs are urgent, and I want to send him to the Lingnan area to conquer foreign races." Qin Ning pouted immediately: "What's wrong with Father? You sent it out." He Xiaowang said: "Qin Ning, don't mess around. This is military affairs. The injustice in the south of the Lingnan is really a big problem for our Great Qin!" Qin Ning didn't say anything more.The emperor: "Okay, okay, I won't bother you young couple anymore. You have a good get-together these few days, and He Xiaowang will go to Lingnan in a few days. You go back first, and I will sit down for a while." He Xiaowang and Qin Ning knelt down and said: "I will take my leave."
