I’m The King Chapter 1072: : East and west (sixty-five)

"Your Majesty, I'm back!" Meng Tian knelt down in front of King Qin Wulie's bed, and said in a low voice, but he didn't hear an answer for a long time. He raised his head and saw that King Qin Wulie was leaning on the pillow, his eyes slightly closed, Unexpectedly, he fell asleep. He looked inquiringly at the old guard on the side, and the old guard leaned down and whispered in King Qin Wulie's ear: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, General Meng is back."

After calling several times, King Qin Wulie's fingers moved slightly, and his eyes slowly opened. When he saw Meng Tian in front of the bed, a gleam of light flashed in his dim eyes, but it disappeared.

The two monarchs and ministers were silent for a moment, and King Qin Wulie finally spoke.

"General, have you hated me all these years?"

Hearing King Qin Wulie's question, Zhong Li, who was standing sideways behind Meng Tian, ​​couldn't help trembling.

After a while of embarrassing silence, Meng Tian raised his head, "Have hated it, Your Majesty. I, Meng Tian, ​​have always been loyal to Da Qin in my whole life, and I have never done anything wrong to Da Qin. Throw it aside and ignore it. Although I command an army of 200,000, it seems that I have unlimited scenery, but in reality, I have been excluded from the court at all. Over the years, you have spared no effort to join the army under my command Deploying people to try to overtake me again and again, my lord, is it because I kept silent during your struggle for succession?"

"General Meng!" Zhong Li, who was behind Meng Tian, ​​trembled with fright at his words, and wanted to stop him, but King Wulie of Qin just rolled his eyes at him, and Zhong Li closed his mouth in fright.

"Is it just silence?" King Qin Wulie smiled with difficulty, raised a hand, and made a gesture. The old guard behind him brought a box and handed it to Meng Tian. Forget it? Or do you think that the people who received these things have destroyed them? So you question me confidently?"

Meng Tian opened the box, picked up one of the letters, and only glanced at the inscription on the envelope, his complexion changed suddenly. His hands trembled involuntarily.

"If it wasn't for Ying Teng who risked his life to join your army and made you undecided, there must have been a great chaos in Great Qin back then, right? You were indeed loyal to Qin, but you were not loyal to the king. But even so, all these years, I have let you stay on the border of Qin and Chu, and let you lead an army of 200,000. Looking at the history books, I am afraid that apart from this king, there is no other king who has such courage, right? "King Qin Wulie smiled, although the laughter was weak, but very proud.

"You are a fierce tiger, but I am confident that I can control you. Facts have proved that I did nothing wrong. For more than 20 years, you have firmly guarded Chu State for Daqin, especially in the first few years. Or you want to atone for your sins, and you fought a few battles very thoughtfully, and let Qu Zhong suffer a few defeats in succession under your hands, and finally in exchange for the twenty years of stability on the border between Qin and Chu, and also Let the Allied Forces of the Six Nations return without success.”

Monton was speechless.

"Now, I'm going to die!" King Qin Wulie said indifferently: "Yingying is still young, and Lu Chao's qualifications in the army are also inexperienced. Not to mention Zhou Yu and Tan Feng, both are outsiders, talented but without virtue. None of them can suppress you."

Meng Tian raised his head eagerly, looked at King Wulie of Qin, and Zhong Li fell to his knees with a bang, "Your Majesty, I pledge the lives of my whole family to guarantee that General Meng will be loyal to Great Qin."

King Wulie of Qin chuckled, ignored Zhong Li, and looked at Meng Tian, ​​"Do you understand what I mean? If Li Xin was still alive, I would be relieved to have him holding you down, but now, Li Xin is gone too. .So, I don't worry about it!"

Meng Tian's face was pale, and he kowtowed heavily, "I understand, please invite the king's family."

"I have already written down the king's order and stamped it with the seal. The things are now in Fan Sui's hands. Both your sons have been enshrined as marquises. The Meng family will not decline because of your departure. On the contrary, under Yingying's command, they will create a brighter future for your Meng family, and I know that your two sons are very talented in leading the battle."

Meng Tian's pale face gradually faded, and traces of blush appeared on his face, "Meng Tian did not gain the trust of the king before his death. It was my own fault. Then after the death of the minister, I would like to be with General Li Xin on the left and on the right. The king's right-hand man."

King Qin Wulie laughed, laughed a few times, and then suddenly coughed, and the little blush from his mouth was shocking, "Okay, very good, Li Xin will be buried in the mausoleum of this king, since If you say that, then I will add another you, are you satisfied?"

"I am very satisfied!" Meng Tian said loudly, being buried in the tomb of King Wulie of Qin with Li Xin is the greatest protection for the Meng family.

"You have been in the army for decades, before you leave, is there anyone who can recommend to Ying Ying? I believe in your vision." King Qin Wulie said to Meng Tian: "Don't kneel down, just sit on me In front of you."

Meng Tianyi lost, and sat cross-legged in front of King Qin Wulie's bed, "The minister thought that the king wanted to find the next Li Xin for the fourth prince. Although Lu Chao was good, he was not open-minded enough, which limited his future prospects. In the development, or in local wars, this person can make strange moves one after another and win one victory after another for Daqin, but in terms of grand strategy, it is difficult to achieve great success.”

"This statement is very pertinent. Originally, I thought that Li Xin would survive for ten years. After ten years, Lu Chao might be able to grow up, but now Li Xin has left us first."

"As for Zhou Yu, although he is talented and has a strategic vision, his ears are too soft, he is not resolute and resolute.

King Qin Wulie nodded.

"Tan Feng is talented and has a strategic vision, but just like what the king said, he has talent but no virtue, and he is very ambitious. Daqin is using this person very much now, but once the crisis is over, the future People must be removed, otherwise it will be a disaster for the Great Qin in the future.”

"Listening to what you said, none of the few people I used before I died can hold up the overall situation?" King Qin Wulie laughed at himself.

"At this time when the Great Qin is in crisis, it is not wrong for the king to reuse these people, at least they can support the current situation of the Great Qin and will not collapse, but in the long run, you should choose another good general to **** the fourth prince. "

"Who do you think is suitable?"

"It's a pity that Wang Jian's whereabouts are unknown, otherwise this person would be the best candidate." Meng Tian said regretfully.

"Could it be that among the hundreds of thousands of generals and tens of thousands of generals, there is no one who can take on this important task?" King Qin Wulie asked.

"Your Majesty, I recommend one person, but this person's current official position is far from enough." Meng Tian said.

"Who, can't it be Huazhen?" A smile appeared on the corner of King Qin Wulie's mouth.

Meng Tian shook his head, "Hua Zhen is not as good as the above, how can he take on such a heavy burden, I recommend Bai Qi who is still under Lu Chao's general. But he is just an ordinary general now .”

"Bai Qi, I remember this man, who annihilated Zhao's 100,000 troops from east of the river. That general who killed tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers in Pingkeng, right?" King Qin Wulie whispered.

"Yes, if there is one person who can support Daqin in the future, it must be this person."

"I believe in your vision!" King Qin Wulie nodded, then turned to the old guard and said, "Go and pass on my king's orders immediately, and transfer Bai Qi to Xianyang to take over the position of Xuanyiwei Commander and lead the three guards in Xianyang." Wanxuan Yiwei."

"Yes!" The old guard turned around and left the hall.

"I'm tired too, you guys go down too!" King Qin Wulie closed his eyes wearily.

Meng Tian and Zhong Li kowtowed to King Qin Wulie, and stepped out of the hall hand in hand. Hearing the heavy palace door ringing behind him, Zhong Li stopped and looked up at the gradually setting sun, "Meng Tian, You, are you really willing?"

Meng Tian laughed and looked at Zhongli, "What else? Zhongli, if I say I want to rebel, what will you do with me?"

Chong left and looked to the other side.

"You see, this is the reality. It's not bad that I can have this ending. I was lucky before, but today the king completely shattered my last hope. The wisest and most caring king, unfortunately, I can't gain his trust like Li Xin. Of course, this is also my own fault. Back then, I didn't recognize who was the real master. Now, I can use my Why not do it in exchange for the safety of the Meng family and even the prosperity and wealth for decades or hundreds of years?"

Seeing that the circles of Zhongli's eyes turned red, Meng Tian laughed boldly and said, "You and I are both soldiers, why do you have to act like a child, Zhongli, when you were young, you and I spent our lives in Xianyang city, today you are willing to accompany me last year Do you want to be less frivolous?"

"It's a lot of age, how can you still be young and frivolous? No matter, as long as you want, I will accompany you." Zhong Li said sadly, and walked out of the palace. With a look of astonishment, after a little hesitation, he still walked away quickly.

This night, the most famous Firework Alley in Xianyang City was suddenly cleared by Black Ice Terrace personnel. This night, all the restaurants and brothels in this alley only received two guests. It is Zhongli, the boss of the Black Ice Platform.

On Li Day, Meng Tian returned drunk, and when the red sun rose high, there was a loud cry of mourning in the Meng Mansion, and Meng Tian fell ill and died.

Almost at the time when the news of Meng Tian's sudden death reached the palace, King Wulie of Qin in the Black Ice Terrace also passed away amidst Yingying's bitter cries.

All of a sudden, people in the Qin Kingdom were panicked. King Qin Wulie, Li Xin, Wang Xiao, Meng Tian, ​​these pillars of the older generation of the Qin Kingdom left one after another, making all the people of the Qin Kingdom feel that a catastrophe is imminent , until it was reported from Hangu Pass that the general Lu Chao led an army of tens of thousands had safely retreated to Hangu Pass, Xianyang was a little more stable.

He Beng, King Wulie of Qin, and his fourth son Yingying ascended the throne as King Wei of Qin.(To be continued)
