Chapter 259: The Power of the Son of Heaven and the National Day 4000-character chapter)
This wave of Nanhai County finally ended with Ren Xiao following Meng Yi back to Xianyang, and Wu Rui fell into Meng Yi's hands because of Ying Bu's rebellion and ended.
Two days later, at the city gate of Panyu County, Meng Yi, Ying Bu and others brought several prison vans, containing Wu Rui, who were tied up in many different ways and his only few friends.
Although they knew that it would be very difficult to escort for such a long time, and if Wu Rui died or escaped in the middle, Meng Yi and Ying Bu would be embarrassed, but they still did not choose to deal with him in Nanhai County.
People like Wu Rui must have been transported to Xianyang, and Ying Gao would be allowed to make a complete decision for him personally, otherwise the shock to those anti-Qin forces would not meet Ying Gao's expectations.
Although the two days have been short, Meng Yi also learned about the situation of Nanhai County from Fusu. Through Fusu's description, Meng Yi knew that if Fusu's strong dragon wanted to subdue the officials in Nanhai County, it would take a lot of time and energy. Even if the matter in the county was straightened out, there would be many Baiyue tribes that had not been recovered. Waiting for Fusu, it would be destined to be a waste of energy.
But Fusu had already expressed his attitude to Meng Yi. He had no intention of competing with Ying Gao for any good or bad things, because Ying Gao was already the well-deserved emperor of the Qin Dynasty.
But he must let Ying Gao know that the role he can play in the Qin Dynasty was also very obvious. Nanhai County was the experimental field set by Fusu for himself. He knew how great the difficulties would be. But he also hoped that one day when Ying Gao was in trouble, his brother would also help him calmly.
Moreover, in this Baiyue land, he could also test his long-lasting ideal policies. He believed that Ying Gao could give himself this freedom.
Before leaving, Fusu quietly handed Meng Yi a letter. Obviously, he was the younger brother who gave him as his brother and the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Logically speaking, Fusu is now acting as the governor of Nanhai County. If you want to talk about official business, you should submit a memorial to Ying Gao.
But this time Fusu did not. He believed that his younger brother would take a good look at his letter and understand his intentions.
"Young Master, then we will go back. If there is something difficult to implement in the Nanhai County, the emperor has already sent our general Han Xin to lead tens of thousands of troops to inspect the two counties of Changsha and Nanhai to prevent any bad things in the south. The young master directly sent someone to inform Han Xin that all the troops under Han Xin could be used by the young master!"
This news was only obtained when Meng Yi was about to arrive in Panyu County. Meng Yi knew as soon as he heard this, that this was another move by Ying Gao, and he was afraid that he and Fusu encountered a crisis in Nanhai County.
Meng Yi had already inquired about Han Xin's ability to lead troops and had also heard that he had always recognized the people chosen by Ying Gao. Although Han Xin had only 50,000 people under his command, Meng Yi knew that these 50,000 people were still quite shocking to local generals in Nanhai County like Zhao Tuo.
If there were no 50,000 people, they would have no way to deal with Fusu without listening to Fusu's Fusu. But with these 50,000 people, Fusu's back could become tough. If you soldiers are really disobedient, he would summon Han Xin in, and the final nature would be different.
Moreover, when Meng Yi said this, he was watching the people led by Zhao Tuo, and his voice was quite loud. Anyone could hear that if he did not cooperate with Fusu's actions in Nanhai County, the Taiwei's anger seemed to be a joke.
Seeing Meng Yi, who was both a teacher and a friend, last stood for him, Fusu was almost moved and burst into tears. He himself knew that whether it was Ying Gao's intention or his thoughts, he would force himself. The process must be painful, but the result was very likely to allow both himself and Daqin to gain as much benefit as ten thousand.
With Fusu's reluctance and the awe-inspiring eyes of other officials in Nanhai County, Meng Yi turned his horse's head and walked all the way northwest. He knew that he was going back and like the new emperor of the Qin Dynasty to report his life.
It was more than a month. Since Ying Gao sent Han Xin out, he had never sent anyone to inquire about the news about Nanhai County. He knew that there must be a possibility of a scattered fight here.
But as a person behind the scenes, he has achieved the ultimate he can do. He believes that the possibility of a good result is greater, because Fusu, Meng Yi and Han Xin, none of these three people are fools, not to mention that there is Ying Bu hiding in the dark. If such a lineup cannot handle the matter in the South China Sea, he will no longer have to do his best to arrange it in the future...
During the past two months, Ying Gao was not idle. He still knew that except for the seemingly peaceful and prosperous times in Hangu Pass, he could not hide the scattered tragedy outside the pass.
Because of this very large-scale anti-Qin battle, although most places now have no trace of anti-Qin forces, many people have become illegitimate households because of their participation in this anti-Qin. A complete set of leadership teams in many counties have been sent to the west by anti-Qin forces. Officials of all sizes have also run away to death, and some have even joined the anti-Qin forces.
This has been three or four months since Ying Gao ascended the throne, but he has not even understood how many people registered in the Qin Dynasty are now.
Although Ying Gao had already sent a large number of young and promising children of the Qin Dynasty to manage in Yingchuan and Chen County not far from Hangu Pass, Ying Gao was unable to find enough personnel in the short term in several counties in the south and the Three Jin areas in the north.
On this day, Ying Gao was listening to the movements of Kuaiji County that Xiao He had just brought, and a guard from Xianyang Palace hurried in.
"The Taiwei has returned? This means that the situation in Nanhai County is already clear. Young Master Fusu has already controlled the situation in Nanhai. Congratulations to the emperor. In this way, we can do our best to eliminate Xiang Yu in Kuaiji County, and then the Qin Dynasty will be a clear and bright spot!"
The guard reported that the Taiwei Meng Yi returned to Xianyang City from Nanhai County and brought back Wu Rui from the north during the previous battle with Han Xin.
When Xiao He heard this, his originally tightly locked brows suddenly stretched out. He was just telling Ying Gao about some of the situations that had happened around Kuaiji County that he had learned in the past two months that were very unfavorable to the Qin Dynasty. He also knew that he didn't know what the problem in Nanhai County was, and Ying Gao would not agree to take action against Kuaiji County rashly.
Now, Xiao He knew that Meng Yi's return was a timely rain for the Qin Dynasty. The situation in Nanhai County was there. If Ren Xiao really had something happen to Nanhai County, then Meng Yi would not be very likely to come back.
Meng Yi was very concerned about this matter that Ying Gao had no trouble, and he took Ying Bu and Ren Xiao directly to Xianyang Palace.
In front of Ying Gao, Meng Yi neither concealed the decisive role Ying Bu played in the entire incident nor helped Ren Xiao clear away the charge that he was very likely to have reached some consensus with Wu Rui in private. He just informed Ying Gao of what he saw after arriving in Nanhai County as a bystander.
After hearing this, Ying Gao didn't say anything else, and read the letter that Fusu brought to him carefully.
After reading it, Ying Gao sighed slightly, thinking that when he suggested Fusu to Nanhai County, he did not expect that things would become as complicated as they are now.
I do trust Fusu, but according to the current situation, I have been using Fusu as a person of temperament to Nanhai County, which is really a bit too much to put on the shelves.
But now that things have come to this point, you can't just inspire the honest man's fighting spirit and give him a knife to cut off the fire, right? So in Ying Gao's heart, since Fusu has this spirit, let him go to Nanhai County first.
There are many things that need to be done to me. Maybe my brother, who is dedicated to everything, can give me some surprises?
"Ren Xiao, I only ask you one thing, is Wu Rui's assassination of his brother? Is it necessary to discuss with you before doing this? This matter... you have to think about it before speaking!"
Ying Gao glanced at Ren Xiao, who was standing trembling behind Meng Yi, and said this without hesitation.
Ying Gao would not believe that with a sly person as scammered as Wu Rui, he could go to Nanhai County to summon Ren Xiao, who was unaware of him. What kind of role Ren Xiao played in this was actually already in Ying Gao's heart.
The reason why he asked this was to see if there was still a need to keep Ren Xiao. After all, Ren Xiao still had great prestige in Nanhai County. If he just followed Meng Yi back to Xianyang, he would be killed by you Ying Gao. What do you think of those guys who were not very kind to Fusu in Nanhai County?
Ren Xiao was even more unable to stand this question. As the saying goes, if you don’t do bad things, you won’t be afraid of ghosts calling. This guy obviously did bad things, and then his mentality would be different.
In Ying Gao's eyes, Ren Xiao seemed to see his own destiny at that moment, so at this moment, his mentality completely collapsed.
"Your Majesty, it is true that Wu Rui arrived in Panyu City late at night and told me that he would do his best to assassinate the Young Master Fusu, and then hand over Nanhai County to me, but we really did not participate in the assassination of the Young Master Fusu..."
What's this? To put it bluntly, he was plotting against Wu Rui together. At this moment, Ren Xiao finally realized that he had wanted too much before. Such thoughts and attitudes were completely harmful to him. But now that things have come to this point, he already knows his ending.
"Since you are the county magistrate of my Great Qin, you naturally understand Qin Lu. What should you do? You are afraid you already know it in your heart?"
"I am not willing to die. I just hope that you will spare the people in the mansion. What you do has nothing to do with him..."
Ying Gao saw that Ren Xiao still had consciousness, and he sighed for him. In fact, it would be harmless to keep someone like Ren Xiao who is thief-hearted but not brave.
But Ying Gao knew that as an emperor, you could not have such compassion. If you leave such a Ren Xiao behind today, then when you want to kill Liu Xiao or Li Xiao in the future, there will be more discussions.
So killing Ren Xiao today is not as simple as Ying Gao insists on killing him alone. The so-called buying horse bones for a daughter is the other way around.
"Wu Rui is the three tribes of Yi. As for you, you will be allowed to reunite with your family in Xianyang City for ten days. After ten days, you will give you a bottle of fine wine and stop it by yourself..."
After saying this, Ying Gao waved his hand, and Ren Xiao went with great gratitude, but Ying Gao didn't even look at him again. It was not because of disdain, but because of a living life, just because of his own words, he would die in ten days. This was not what Ying Gao wanted to do in his heart.
But this is the emperor, this is the power of the emperor. For the future of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Gao certainly could not do those things that he knew were impossible to do.
What he could do was to make people like Ren Xiao think that their death was due to death, and not to resent himself too much or resent the Qin Dynasty. But Ying Gao knew in his heart that doing so was just a cover-up of the bell, and the final result was that you killed the other person.
"Your Majesty does not have to blame yourself. If Ren Xiao had not developed his unfaithfulness to the Qin Dynasty first, how could he end up in this kind of land today? You did not treat it as a rebellion, it was already a blessing from the law."
After following Ying Gao for so long, Xiao He couldn't understand what Ying Gao was thinking. As soon as Ren Xiao left, he advised Ying Gao's ear.
"Since the matter of Nanhai County has been resolved, the Taiwei happened to return to the court, and the affairs of Kuaiji County are just discussed together."
Ying Gao shook his head, knowing that he had more important things to make, so he quickly switched his mind to the matter he was discussing with Xiao He before.
"Could that Xiang Yu did anything in Kuaiji County?"
Although Meng Yi did not participate in the anti-Qin war with Ying Gao, he was very clear about the final destination of each force. When he heard the three words "Kuaiji County", he knew that Xiang Yu, who had a grudge against Ying Gao to kill his uncle, would definitely not stay in Kuaiji County obediently. Even if the last person was left, his goal would definitely be to destroy the entire Qin Dynasty.
"Yes, Xiang Yu has been in Kuaiji County for less than two months. Today, this guy has made a lot of moves."
