Inside the hall.

Sitting back in his seat, the First Emperor's eyes had returned to their former calmness and depth.

"Everyone, what do you think of this idea about the emperor's eldest grandson..."

Li Si looked serious and bowed.

"Your Majesty, it is said in the book of Lord Shang that the sage kings do not value righteousness but the law. The law must be implemented and the orders must be implemented. Our Qin Dynasty thrives with the law and enforces the law. Since your majesty has spread all over the world, promoted prefectures and counties, and the world has followed the law, The heads of Guizhou were all in awe.

What's more, in the whole world, is it the king's land? Is it the king's ministers who are on the shore of the land? Now that Hexi has surrendered, they should carry out His Majesty's laws and carry out His Majesty's orders. The policy of the emperor's eldest son is called adapting to local conditions and seeking truth from facts, but it is actually a decree. This is the beginning of corruption, your Majesty, please think twice! "

The First Emperor nodded slightly, without comment, and looked at Feng Quji aside.

Normally, at this time, Feng Quji would take the initiative to agree with Li Si, but today he stood up with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the Hexi Corridor has dangerous mountains and rivers and vast land. The Yuezhi soldiers are defending it. Although the Huns are strong and the court is prosperous, they cannot attack it. The reason why they are willing to give up resistance now, surrender as a whole, and sincerely surrender is entirely due to His Majesty the Emperor's Grandson is as powerful as a prison - what's more, there are no laws in the world, they all change according to time and place, even Lord Shang's law is no exception."

Having said this, Feng Quji smiled and slightly cupped his hands at Li Si, who had a cold expression on his face.

"Excuse me, Prime Minister Zuo, how much are there similarities between the laws of Lord Shang and the laws of the Qin Dynasty today? Therefore, there is no fixed law, and it advances according to the times and trends. The strategy proposed by the emperor's eldest grandson is not the law of the imperial court... …”

Li Si said coldly.

"There is no fixed law, but the law of our Great Qin has already been perfected. Otherwise, how could it have risen in a corner of the world? How could it have swept across the world and encompassed everything in the universe?" If orders are changed in the morning and overnight, if our laws in the Qin Dynasty are to collapse, it will begin with the words of the right prime minister!"

Feng Quji turned around with a smile and bowed to the First Emperor again.

"Your Majesty, I have observed that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, is so calm and sophisticated in his administration that even the most important ministers in the court cannot match him. Although the methods he proposes may seem bold, they are interconnected and well-thought out. They are quite advisable and may not be indispensable. try……"

The First Emperor smiled, motioned for the two of them to sit down, and then looked at Meng Yi, who was bowing his head in thought.

"How about you do it under the guise of your Majesty?"

Meng Yi stood up and said in a deep voice.

"Wei Chen feels that the emperor's eldest grandson's plan may be feasible!"

The First Emperor couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, nodded slowly, and looked at Wang Jian and Wei Liaozi beside him.

"What do General Wang and Lieutenant think..."

Wei Liaozi: ...

Wang Jian: ...

"I thought I could give it a try!"

Liss:  …

It was the first time I felt so powerless.

"Your Majesty, if the law does not work, you must violate it from above. It concerns the foundation of the country, so please think twice before taking action——"

"No need to say more, Prime Minister, I have made my decision. Everything in the land west of Hexi will be handed over to the emperor's eldest grandson. Right Prime Minister Feng Quji will set off today to assist!"

Li Si retreated sadly.

Over the years, he had been highly regarded by the First Emperor and dominated the court. Even the likes of Right Chancellor Feng Quji and Shangqing Mengyi could not easily seize his leadership. Especially after the unification of the world, almost all suggestions were in line with the First Emperor's wishes, and his power of speech in the court became increasingly important.

After defying all opinions and implementing the system of prefectures and counties, he has become the No. 1 in the court. He is responsible for most of the government orders in the court. He has become the most important minister in the court that the First Emperor relies on most. He has gradually become accustomed to being the one who responds to everything. The state is the state in which words must be answered.

At this moment, he suddenly understood that everything he had today was not because of his outstanding talents, but because of the needs of the First Emperor.

There is no shortage of people with outstanding talents.

Even Feng Quji, an old man who had always just acted as his yes-man in the court, was not a good person.

No matter how unwilling and worried Li Si was, his opinion on how to deal with the Hexi Corridor was still decided. In fact, what he didn't know was that for the First Emperor, no matter how important Hexi was, it was not as important as his great grandson.

Since he is willing, then give him the land west of Hexi.

It's gratifying to succeed, but it doesn't matter even if it fails. If a young man wants to govern a country, he must have the opportunity to try and make mistakes. While he still has time, he can give him a guarantee and let him try and succeed again. Why not!

Feng Quji changed his usual meek attitude and rushed to the Hexi Corridor with more than a dozen capable officials from the DPRK and the Central Government that day.

……

From Xianyang to Longxi, there is a direct road, and the speed of travel is unparalleled in the world before the advent of modern transportation. After hundreds of miles, we successfully arrived in just two or three days.

Feng Quji and his party brought rewards from the Longxi generals. Great Qin has its own rules for rewards and pensions for military achievements, and has always been unstinting.

Later, Longxi Guardsman Xin Sheng had someone personally escort Feng Quji and his party into the Hexi Corridor without any delay.

But even so, by the time Feng Quji and others arrived at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain, seven or eight days had passed since Zhao Ying sent people to Xianyang to report the victory.

During these days, Zhao Ying went in and out of major tribes every day with the tribal leaders who presented beautiful women to him. Not only that, Zhao Ying also specially selected hundreds of young men from these seven tribes and asked them to put on Qin people's armor, as if they were his trusted followers, which made the other tribes jealous.

Especially the Guishan tribe, Xihou Qiujiu was even more greedy. He brought his several gorgeously dressed girls to Zhao Ying's side every day.

It's a pity that His Highness the Emperor's Grandson, who was so brave and invincible that he was like a god descending to earth, seemed to be blind and refused to even look at his daughter, which made him very depressed.

It is obvious that my daughters are more attractive!

However, fortunately, except for the princess of the Yuezhi King, the Kushan tribe has no chance, and the women of the big tribes such as Xiumi, Shuangmi, Kushan, Pangdun, and Dumi also have no women from the tribe. , which made him feel a little relieved.

There is no way, no one in my clan can match the taste of His Highness the Emperor Changsun.

Taste is something I can't explain.

Feng Quji entered the Hexi Corridor with the decree of the First Emperor.

After receiving the news, Zhao Ying led all the generals under his command, as well as all the nobles of the Yuezhi tribe from King Yuezhi down to welcome him out of Shili in person.

"The right Prime Minister has had a hard journey——"

Zhao Ying jumped off his horse, strode forward, and saluted with a smile.

Feng Quji looked solemn, straightened his clothes, and bowed meticulously in return.

"Veteran Feng Quji has met His Highness and shared His Majesty's worries. He dare not say anything about the hard work——"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Ying's help, he stood up straight, took the imperial edict from the hands of the attendant officials with a serious expression, and handed it over with a respectful expression.

"His Majesty has decreed that Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the emperor, be made the champion general, the governor of Hexi County, and everything in the land of Hexi is entrusted to His Highness. The veterans and others will obey His Highness' orders..."

General is preceded by big characters!

Since then, in the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Ying has become a real military boss comparable to Wang Ben and Meng Tian, ​​and truly has his own right to speak!

As for the Hexi County Governor, this should be temporary. After all, it is impossible for the First Emperor to allow himself to stay and develop here. When the matter is settled, he will definitely call himself back to Xianyang.

However, this complete decision-making power still made him secretly relieved. With this decision-making power, his follow-up arrangements would be more relaxed.

With a solemn expression, he stepped forward to receive the decree delivered by Feng Qi.

It is now late April in the 36th year of the First Emperor, and it has been less than three months since the last tour in the history of the First Emperor.

He worked hard to capture the Hexi Corridor and prepared it as an important base for the rear.

There is no room for any flaws!

Therefore, no matter what, he had to make arrangements according to his original plan. Originally, he also made some other backup plans just in case.

But now things turned out to be smoother than he had imagined. The eldest father actually handed over such an important place in Hexi to his hands without reservation.

This made him unexpected, but he couldn't help but feel slightly moved.

He knew that this was the great father's unreserved trust in him!

In the flash of lightning in his mind, he saw Feng Quji take another scroll from the hand of the attendant on the side, open it in front of everyone with a solemn expression, and glance at the people of the Yuezhi King who were waiting uneasily.

"King Yuezhi listens to the decree——"

King Yuezhi quickly took two steps, led everyone, and knelt down in public.

"Your Majesty has a decree. King Yuezhi understands the righteousness and leads his people to surrender. His actions are commendable. He is granted the title of Marquis of Guicheng. He is given a palace, thousands of hectares of fertile land, a hundred yi of gold, a bunch of pearls, and a hundred maids. He is allowed to hold a halberd in front of the door and ride on the horse. Six Horses - His daughter is a virtuous and virtuous woman, and she was given the title of concubine Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, and was granted the title of Madam..."

Zhao Ying: ...

Dad, what a terrible collecting habit.

King Yuezhi trembled. Although he had already expected such a result, he still couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard it. But now there was no way out, so he could only prostrate himself to the ground with a respectful voice. typical.

"I thank your majesty for your grace——"

Feng Quji stepped forward with a smile, helped King Yuezhi up with his own hands, and put the First Emperor's will into his hands, which was very meaningful.

"The Marquis of Guicheng understands righteousness very much, and His Majesty appreciates it very much - now he and the Marquis have become in-laws, and since then, they have become as close as one family..."

The Yuezhi King could only cheer up and echo.

The rest of the Yuezhi nobles did not dare to say anything.

Zhao Ying turned a blind eye to this.

Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Zhao Ying smiled and led Feng Quji and his party to Yanzhi Mountain to rest. That night, a banquet was held to welcome Feng Quji and others.

King of the Yuezhi - ahem, he should be called Marquis of Guicheng now. From Marquis of Guicheng on down, all Yuezhi nobles accompanied him, a roaring bonfire was burning, and plump and juicy whole lambs were roasted.

Coupled with the spices prepared by the emperor's eldest grandson himself, the fragrance can be felt for ten miles in the wind, and the Yuezhi nobles almost swallowed their own tongues after eating it.

"It's really delicious, little king - ahem, Xiaohou and I grew up on the grassland. Before I met His Highness, I never knew that there could be such delicious food in this world..."

"Marquis Guicheng, I'm afraid you don't know that compared with the delicacies of Xianyang, this roasted whole lamb is not even close to the delicacies. The delicacies of our Xianyang Tianxiang Pavilion are ten times more beautiful than this roasted whole lamb. …”

Feng Quji, who was sitting next to the Yuezhi King, raised his wine glass with a smile, touched it lightly with the Yuezhi King, and drank it all in one gulp.

"When the time comes, I will be the host and invite the Marquis to taste the real delicacies of this world, and also taste the real taste of wealth in this world -"

Zhao Ying smiled and said nothing, and listened to Feng Quji chatting and laughing, vividly and exaggeratedly describing the wealth of Xianyang to these rustics who had been living on the grassland since childhood...

This old guy almost described Xianyang as a paradise on earth. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and all of them looked leisurely and fascinated.

However, the effect was obvious, and the smile on King Yuezhi's face became much more sincere.

Being able to go to Xianyang and enjoy the wealth and wealth in the world is a beautiful thing——

Anyway, it is impossible for me to stay here any longer.

This old man is very good at deceiving people. In public, several leaders of small tribes took the opportunity of toasting to ask Zhao Ying to take them back with him when he returned to Xianyang——

Zhao Ying was naturally generous with this kind of request.

just go--

It’s no problem if you bring your clan members there.

Over the years, the Qin Dynasty has been conquering the east and west, and has been fighting for many years. Guanzhong has shown signs of exhaustion and is lacking a large number of labor forces.

With Zhao Ying's promise, the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively.

The atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax until King Yuezhi came off the stage in person, raising his arms high and twisting his fat waist to perform a dance for his dear son-in-law, the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Da Qin.

The next day, Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin and the most invincible warrior, personally married Yue Ji, the former Princess of the Yuezhi.

Up and down the Yueshi family, the entire clan reveled.

With this marriage, the brave and exaggerated His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson became a family member with him. These Yuezhi nobles, who were originally uneasy, felt much more at ease.

After all, in the past, I was frightened by Zhao Ying's fierce power and had to take orders from the Qin people. But now it is different. I have to take orders from the Yueshi people's own son-in-law——

Although the Yuezhi people don't understand what name and status are, this status is really important to them psychologically.

This is also the reason why these grassland peoples, once they annex a slightly larger tribe, usually take the initiative to accept the wife and daughter of the leader of the other tribe after getting rid of the leader of the other tribe -

We need to transform from two families into one.

The hibiscus tent warms the spring night, and the king never goes to court early from now on.

Although there is still snow outside Wushaoling, but it is blocked by a number of mountains, the climate inside the Hexi Corridor is warm and there is already a bit of spring.

Spring nights are worth thousands of dollars.

What he didn't expect was that this blond, blue-eyed, delicate and plump Mrs. Ru was actually very good at serving people, like a kitten with a bit of wild prairie nature, which left him quite unsatisfied.

However, the next day, he resolutely pushed away the cat that was wrapped around him and strode out of the camp.

Time is running out, and if the land west of Hexi becomes unstable, I will not be able to feel at ease.

According to his own suggestion, the imperial court established Hexi County and brought this Hexi County under the control of Qin Dynasty. However, it had a sharp weapon and a murderous intention.

The land west of Hexi is too dangerous and the place is too big. Even if Zhao Ying trusts his group of people, he would not dare to leave it all in the hands of one person.

Therefore, he simply divided the Hexi land into four counties according to historical trajectories.
