"promise."
Lü Buwei looked at the moon that had just appeared in the sky and suddenly laughed: "Can't wait? Or are you here to give it a try? Hahaha..."
…
Wei Liao led the carriage into the city.
Ying Zheng performed too many miracles, which resulted in him being surrounded by soldiers along the way. Even though they were under Ying Zheng's banner, they were still questioned by many parties before they could enter Xianyang.
There is no ban on the night in Xianyang today, but it is not very lively either.
Even though today is the day when Ying Zheng ascends the throne, it is still not lively.
Entertainment was too scarce in this era, and ordinary families could not afford much lamp oil. After the big words in the sky disappeared, only a little moonlight was left to illuminate Xianyang.
But even so, today's Xianyang is still an ordinary royal capital, which cannot be compared with other cities.
"Is this your first time in Xianyang, gentlemen?"
Wei Liao smiled and asked Li Si and Han Fei who were walking beside them. Since Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang, they no longer sat on the carriage.
After all, the two of them are still commoners and cannot afford the emperor's carriage. Even if it is a reward from Ying Zheng, they dare not accept it.
"Of course it's my first time. I've heard that Xianyang is prosperous, and seeing it today, it's indeed true."
Li Si spoke with a smile. After Ying Zheng left, the atmosphere around the carriage frame became less solemn.
Wei Liao laughed and then asked, "Do you two gentlemen have a place to stay? You probably can't enter the palace today. If not, why don't you stay with me for one night?"
Li Si knew that Wei Liao was trying to befriend the two of them. After all, judging from Ying Zheng's behavior towards them along the way, he knew that they would definitely be reused in the future.
"Thank you very much."
Li Si bowed and agreed on behalf of Han Fei.
After all, both of them are still commoners, and it is hard to say whether Ying Zheng will use them in the future. There is no harm in making friends with one more person.
Wei Liao laughed cheerfully and stopped talking.
Wei Zhuang was driving the cart obediently in the back, listening to the conversation between the people in front without paying any attention.
After all, he was an assassin, the kind who assassinated Ying Zheng at the beginning. Even though he surrendered later, he was somewhat uncomfortable in the eyes of Wei Liao and others.
It was fine when Ying Zheng was around, but after he was gone, naturally there weren't many concerns, and he felt more or less isolated.
But Wei Zhuang didn't care. He was a knight who had always been wandering around the world. He was always alone, so a little while wouldn't make a difference.
The carriage was still moving, and slowly disappeared.
…
Meng Ao had returned to his mansion long ago, and Meng Wu was waiting by his side, ready to change Meng Ao's clothes and wipe his body.
This was originally the job of servants, but now it has become Meng Wu's job.
"I heard that Meng Que was thrown back by the Emperor?"
Meng Wu nodded, but then felt something was wrong. He looked at Meng Ao with a wry smile and said, "Meng Que was only sent back by the emperor to rest for one night. He has to return to the palace tomorrow."
"Oh." Meng Ao responded, and after thinking for a while, he continued, "You kid, did you see clearly what was written on the bamboo slips today?"
"How could I possibly see clearly what the emperor has?" Meng Wu said with a wry smile. "Father, you know how I, a mere Minister of the Left, could have gone on pilgrimage if it weren't for your influence."
"You haven't even competed with the younger generation, and you still have the energy to shout?" Meng Ao snorted coldly, and no longer dwelled on the question. "Do you still remember what the emperor said today?"
Meng Wu responded and repeated what Ying Zheng had said in the court. Then he said doubtfully, "Father, isn't the emperor a little too worried? The nations are so divided, can't they form an alliance?"
"Did you follow the emperor to the alliance meeting?"
Meng Ao snorted coldly.
"Perhaps some clues were revealed at the meeting, otherwise why would the emperor ask?"
Meng Wu didn't care. Basically, all the countries that could fight were gone, and three of the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period had died. With only Huang Xie left, he was nothing to be afraid of.
Coupled with the emperor's miracles, I'm afraid those people won't even be able to get close to the border of the Qin Dynasty and will be wiped out.
"Your brain is no match for that brat Wang Jian." Meng Ao sighed, "Is your father worried about the other kingdoms? I'm just curious about what the bamboo slips in the emperor's hand are!"
The nations are scattered and therefore not a cause for concern. But can you say that tomorrow? Of course not. If you do, then the contents of the bamboo slips will certainly not belong to my Meng family."
Meng Wu was a little panicked. He didn't know why he was talking about the Meng family again. He heard Meng Ao continue to say:
"What the emperor wants is the territories of the various states, what he wants is unification. Qin's current military strength is not enough. And the emperor's words all reveal his ambition to send troops abroad.
Your father asks you, can Qin start a war again now?
"cannot."
"If that's not possible, why did the Emperor express his intention to send troops? It's simply because of the secret hidden in those bamboo slips.
"When I saw the bamboo slips today, I felt much more eager than when I saw the Six Strategies!"
Meng Wu instantly realized the horror of the bamboo slips.
If I had known earlier, I would have known that "Six Strategies" was a military classic and the true teaching of Taigong. When Lu Buwei presented it to Meng Ao that day, he was particularly fond of it.
Now, the bamboo slips are more of a concern to Meng Ao than that thing, and perhaps the only thing that matters is the military strategy from heaven.
…
The Empress Dowager Huayang looked at the maid in front of her with a sullen face and asked again, "Did the Emperor say that I am not allowed to see him?"
The maid knelt firmly on the ground. When she heard Queen Mother Huayang ask her, she shuddered with fear again: "The emperor said that he is tired today and will not...will not...see you."
