Jagged Legion

Daqin Chaotang has set off a trend of taking down He Xiaowang.He Xiaowang has already prepared for the worst, the big deal, what's the point of being light without an official?Manpower is limited after all.He Xiaowang led [-] cavalry troops to walk in the villages and towns of Bashu, and many ordinary people spontaneously came to reward the cavalry troops.The army of the Qin Dynasty was no different from the bandits, there was no subsidy, and the state provided food and clothing for itself. Therefore, wherever the army went, the people there suffered disaster.However, He Xiaowang led the army strictly, which is famous throughout the Great Qin State, and the sergeant must pay money for buying things.

The eight hundred iron cavalry army is also very friendly to the common people.He Xiaowang's eyes were moist when he saw these people lining the road to welcome them.This is the reward for one's own efforts, what military achievements.A companion is like a tiger, and the endless political struggle has made He Xiaowang loathe this political environment.

He Xiaowang put down his burden and went to Xianyang in high spirits.He Xiaowang came to Xianyang and arranged the iron cavalry army in the Crane Mansion, which was enough for a thousand people to live in. He went to the palace to meet Qin Shihuang immediately before stopping at home.Ministers Li Si, Zhao Gao, and Ma Yuanchi were all there.He Xiaowang went up to kneel and bowed: "The minister He Xiaowang pays homage to the emperor!" Qin Shihuang looked at He Xiaowang and said, "Get up." He Xiaowang stood up: "I don't know why the emperor summoned the minister here in such a hurry. Something?" Li Si said: "Bold He Xiaowang, the emperor hasn't spoken yet, so where is your turn to ask?" He Xiaowang said: "Your Excellency, Xiao Wang dare not, but is just eager to ask." Zhao Gao said : "General Crane, you led [-] cavalry troops to Xianyang, what is the purpose of stationing troops in Crane Mansion?!"

He Xiaowang smiled slightly and said: "The iron cavalry army is the general's own army, and the emperor knows it too. How dare you, an eunuch, question this general here!" Zhao Gao was most jealous of others calling him an eunuch in his life, and he was furious: "You, you, He Xiaowang!! Leading troops into Xianyang, could it be that you intend to rebel!" He Xiaowang stared: "Zhao Gao, do you have a basis for saying this? Your Majesty, you must uphold justice for my ministers, and I will fight for you!" On the battlefield, I didn’t expect to be humiliated by eunuchs here, how will Chen Chen lead troops to fight in the future?!” Qin Shihuang remained silent.Li Si stepped forward and said: "He Xiaowang, let's not talk about leading troops into Xianyang for the time being, let me ask you, can you enter Death Valley?" I'm afraid I'll die in Death Valley long ago! Prime Minister Li should know this better than me, right?" Li Si said angrily, "What do you mean? What do I know?"

He Xiaowang sneered and said: "Lord Li, the two of us had a very close relationship, I never thought you would hear rumors and do some shameful things." Li Si: "We used to have a close relationship, but I, Li Si, have always been loyal to the emperor. , I discovered your bad deeds, so I exposed you." Ma Yuanchi said: "General He, Prime Minister Li, please don't worry. General He, did you find the elixir of life in Death Valley?" He Xiaowang eased With a look of complexion: "Master Ma, I, He Xiaowang, did enter Death Valley, but found nothing. There is no legendary immortality in it." Turning to the first emperor, he said: "Your Majesty, I have sent Xu Fuyuan overseas to search for immortality. The medicine of elixir. My plan is to let Xu Fu search for the authentic one at sea, and I search for it in the southwest, so that the troops will be divided into two groups. There is no news about the elixir of life at present."

Li Si sneered and said, "Who knows if you found it or not? As the commander in chief, you naturally know." He Xiaowang looked coldly at him: "Prime Minister Li, the elixir of life depends on chance to find it. How can you say that you will find it if you find it?" Li Si completely disregarded his identity as a prime minister, and stepped forward: "He Xiaowang, don't quibble. I have already investigated what you did. You conscripted civilians in Lingnan and massacred the people. , Isn’t it?” He Xiaowang: “Lord Li, conscripting civilians is pure nonsense, and killing innocent people indiscriminately is even more fantasy. I, He Xiaowang, did kill too deeply, but it was the killing of Lingnan barbarians! Ask yourself if you have done anything wrong!" Zhao Gao: "He Xiaowang, you still haven't pleaded guilty!! Discipline is ineffective, your subordinates and relatives are clamoring why you want to rebel? Is there such a thing?! Great treason! "How could He Xiaowang admit it?Once it is confirmed that the [-] Cavalry Army will become rebels, He Xiaowang is not that stupid and said: "Things that don't exist at all are pure rumors."

He Xiaowang knelt down again: "Your Majesty, how can I be unfaithful to you? It is true that I have been too indulgent to the pro-military. I will rectify this point. Please demote and punish him. He Xiaowang has no Complaints! But the slanderous minister has the intention of treason, and the minister can’t be like this!!" Qin Shihuang said: "Don't talk about it! He Xiaowang, you are so disappointing! Don't take any more positions from today, go back and take care of yourself. Don’t worry about military affairs anymore! You have fought north and south, and you have made too many enemies, and the eight hundred cavalry troops will stay to protect you.” Ma Yuanchi was stunned: “Your Majesty! General He didn’t make any mistakes! You If he is kicked out of the court in this way, how will the people of the world explain it? No way!" Qin Shihuang slapped the table: "Stop talking nonsense! Everyone back down!"

This time, He Xiaowang sticks to the end, one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, down to the common people.He Xiaowang knelt on the ground blankly: "Thank you!" He Xiaowang was really depressed.Li Si and Zhao Gao looked at each other and smiled.Ma Yuanchi walked up to He Xiaowang: "Master He, don't be discouraged." He Xiaowang said with a wry smile: "Master Ma, now I am a grassroots person, no longer a general or an adult." Ma Yuanchi patted Pat He Xiaowang on the shoulder: "I'm crazy about how old you are, so I call you Brother He. Now the court has been controlled by Li Si and Zhao Gao. Today I want to say a few words for you, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to escape being controlled by Li Si in the future." The fate of being framed by Zhao Gao. Haha,,,, I, Ma Yuanchi, are aboveboard. How can I care about these things!"

He Xiaowang clasped his hands together: "I'm hurting my elder brother! Well, come to my brother's house when I have time, a gentleman's wine is enough!" Ma Yuanchi laughed and left with his hands clasped.
