I’m The King Chapter 982: :Huanghuang Hanwei (106)
Xianyang, Qin Palace, is still in the empty palace paved with black marble. With a hint of sadness, no matter how heroic the character is, he can't stand the torture of time and illness. In the past two years, the king's condition has become more and more serious.
A doctor with a medicine box came out from the inside accompanied by a few servants. When he saw Li Xin standing outside, he had a slightly surprised look on his face.
"I have seen the general!"
"Doctor Ding!" Li Xin clasped his fists in his hands and returned the salute. Ding Yi is the royal physician of the King of Qin, and he often treats the most trusted officials of the King of Qin. Li Xin is one of them, and both parties are very acquainted .
"Is your majesty okay?" Li Xin asked with some concern.
Li Xin hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "The root of the king's illness is from the early years. In the past, the king was young and strong, and he didn't pay much attention to recuperation. Now that he is old, these injuries have exploded. Even an iron-clad man, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on, this is the king, if it were someone else, he would have run out of fuel long ago."
"So serious?" Li Xin asked in shock.
Ding nodded a little bit, "I tried my best, but I could only delay the serious trend of the disease, but it did not benefit the overall situation."
Li Xin was a little sad, "Even if you, Doctor Ding, say that, I'm afraid there is no one in this world who can rejuvenate the king, and the king is just over fifty!"
"The kings of the Great Qin Dynasty all spent their youth fighting on the battlefield. They have never suffered any kind of suffering, and their bodies have more or less hidden worries. General, our Great Qin Dynasty has been in for so many years. His lifespan is over sixty." Ding Yi shook his head, "I tried my best to persuade the king not to worry about political affairs, but to rest in peace, and maybe there is still a chance of redemption, but our king's It's not like you don't know about your temper."
Watching Ding Yi hunched over and left, Li Xin was worried for a while, and then walked inward. These years, in order to recuperate King Qin Wulie's body, this doctor with outstanding medical skills has also exhausted his efforts.
In the empty hall, King Qin Wulie no longer sits cross-legged on the cold ground with bare feet, a bed is placed on the black marble floor. Although it is the hot summer season, King Qin Wulie is still covered Wear a mattress.
"You're here!" Seeing Li Xin striding in, King Qin Wulie sat up from the bed, and the guards beside him quickly took a pillow and placed it on King Qin Wulie's back." !"
There is no seat in front of the bed, and Li Xin has long been used to it, so he flipped up his robe and sat cross-legged in front of the bed.
"Just now you met Ding Yi outside, I guess you understand my situation." Qin Wulie Wang asked Li Xin with a relaxed tone, without the decadence of serious illness.
"Your Majesty, Ding Yi said that as long as you let go of those worries and rest in peace, you will surely prolong your life." Li Xin's voice was a little choked up, "Yingying has experienced enough in these years, and he will be transferred back to the court. Let the king deal with political affairs, and the king can relax."
"Where can I let it go? Over the years, Yingying has experienced in the military. Whether it is the overall situation or strategy, Yingying has indeed made great progress. Besides, there is you, Lu Chao helped him, I don't care. Worried. But in terms of politics, he is still far behind. In the past two years, I have purged a lot of people for him. This year, I plan to purify another group of people so that he will not be difficult to do in the future. These **** things, It’s better if I finish it for him, it’s not such a pleasant thing to kill one’s own people, and I don’t want him to be charged with tyranny after he comes to power.” King Qin Wulie said with a smile: “I think back then, my father did the same thing, now it’s my turn It's my turn."
Li Xin lowered his head and said nothing, and after a while he raised his head and said, "Isn't the eldest prince giving up yet?"
"He is the boss, how could he give up?" King Qin Wulie sighed regretfully, "Last month, he secretly sent someone to Meng Tian's place."
"Meng Tian!" Li Xin raised his eyebrows, evidently worried in his heart. Meng Tian is one of the three remaining great generals of the Qin State. Overwhelming the Chu* team, whose qualifications are older than Li Xin.
"Meng Tian sent someone to secretly send me the messenger and the letters written by the boss." King Qin Wulie sighed, took out a letter from under the pillow, and handed it to Li Xin.
After browsing through the ten lines at a glance, Li Xin said, "Is the eldest prince crazy?"
"He's not crazy, he knows that my body can't hold on anymore, and we're going to launch a large-scale war against Zhao Guo in the near future. Want Meng Tian to lead tens of thousands of fine riders to return to Xianyang and seize power in one fell swoop, hehe! Not only Meng Tian, but he also contacted many real power figures in the court."
Li Xin shook his head and said: "You are really crazy, Your Majesty, what is Zhongli's attitude?"
"Don't worry about Zhongli." Qin Wulie lordly said: "I'm worried about Meng Tian!"
"Didn't Meng Tian send this person and this letter to the king?"
"But what is Meng Tian's real thought, can you figure it out?" King Qin Wulie sighed.
"Your Majesty, General Meng Tian must not move. General Meng has been stationed on the border between Chu and Qin for ten years, and the army under his command is almost built by him. The whole body is surrounded by General Meng's cronies. "Li Xin was startled when he heard King Qin Wulie's tone, and hurriedly spoke to stop him.
"I'm not that stupid!" King Qin Wulie looked at Li Xin with a smile, and then sighed again: "It's good that Ying Teng doesn't die, with his prestige, once he sits next to Meng Tian, Meng Tian doesn't dare to move rashly. Unfortunately, he died."
Li Xin lowered his head, Ying Teng died in battle at Hangu Pass, and King Qin Wulie was injured in that battle, which made the original condition worse. Zhao has a huge strategic advantage, but the price paid is also very high.
"I can't move Mengtian, but can't I move my son?" King Qin Wulie suddenly sneered.
"Your Majesty!" Li Xin raised his head abruptly, looked at King Qin Wulie's cruel eyes, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Are you trying to say that a tiger's poison does not eat its son?" King Qin Wulie stared at Li Xin, "No, in my heart, Qin Guo is my son, who has been carefully cared for by me for decades and has grown up step by step. Son, I will never allow anyone to try to harm him, even if this person is my own son, Li Xin, if the boss really moves, and if Meng Tian makes another move, Qin will inevitably be in chaos, the enemy is at hand, How can I watch this happen?"
"General Meng is a veteran of the country, and such incidents will never happen." Li Xin said with a little confidence.
"This is not what you, a general, should say. Decision is what you should tell me." King Qin Wulie's tone was still cold: "Even if there is no such thing, as long as I have doubts and worries in my heart , I will nip all possibilities in the bud. I can't see through Meng Tian. Over the years, I have always used you and Ying Teng, and later promoted Lu Chao, but I have always left Meng Tian idle on the border between Qin and Chu. Yingying is getting closer to you and Lu Chao again. After he succeeds to the throne in the future, he will rely heavily on you from the beginning. When you get old, Lu Chao will come to the top. There is no place for Meng Tian by his side. Doesn't Meng Tian want to change this situation? Everything?"
Li Xin is silent.
"I can't move Meng Tian, but I can move my son. Without the boss, Meng Tian will have no master to be loyal to, unless he wants to rebel. But is that possible, will my Great Qin soldiers rebel with him? "King Wulie of Qin said confidently: "Take off one of my sons, but avoid the possible civil strife in Daqin, and also preserve a veteran who was left for me by the previous king. It is also of great benefit to the stability of the army. If this is a business , for me, it is a very profitable thing, why not do it?"
"But my lord, if you move the eldest prince, I'm afraid there are not a few people involved. In Xianyang, I'm afraid blood will flow like a river!" Li Xin said cautiously: "It will be a matter of debilitating energy."
"Destroy the vitality, but don't touch the root." King Qin Wulie emphasized his tone. "It only needs a big victory on the front line, and all these can be covered up by the victory. The people will celebrate the victory and forget the **** smell of Xianyang .”
Li Xin nodded speechlessly. King Qin Wulie has already made up his mind, so he doesn't need to say more. Besides, what the king said is also true. If the king is healthy, he can take it slowly, no one dares I have selfish intentions, but the king's health is getting worse day by day, so I have to use thunder to suppress it, and deal with everything cleanly.
"Li Xin, in a blink of an eye, you are already in your fifties, and you are also in your early forties. The scene when you were in my study is still vivid in my memory. Time really flies. If God If you can give me a few more decades, I will definitely build an unprecedented empire, but now, this ideal can only be placed on Yingying. You must stay by Yingying's side and help him accomplish all this .”
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Xin will do his best before he dies!" Li Xin said with a bow.
King Wulie of Qin nodded happily, "I have already found Yingying a minister who will be the leader for the next few decades. Next, it's up to him."
"Yingying is wise and intelligent, and she will not fail the king's entrustment!" Li Dao said.
The sound of military boots stamping on the ground was heard outside the main hall, and no servants came in to report, and Li Xin did not look back. There are only a handful of military generals who are qualified to go straight here, and now in Xianyang, except for himself, the only one who is idle in Xianyang Lu Chao, the one who came in must be Lu Chao, but Li Xin was a little surprised that Lu Chao came here today, why did he wear military boots, he must have come wearing a full set of general's attire.
The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and they stopped beside him immediately. Lu Chao's voice sounded, and Li Xin turned his head to look. He has a neatly trimmed beard, and his face is firm like a rock. To Li Xin's shock, he smelled blood on Lu Chao's body.
"Your Majesty, Lu Chao is here to return!" Lu Chao bowed to King Qin Wulie on the bed. (To be continued)
