"Ta…"
He wore a full set of black armor, and the helmet cover extended to his face. His entire body could be said to be armed to the teeth.
The imperial soldiers of the Southern Yamen held long spears in their hands and had single-shot crossbows strapped to their waists. They spread out across the streets in a majestic manner.
Obviously, they were either going to suppress all rebellions or go to a certain place to directly capture people.
"Isn't the Crown Prince returning today and the First Emperor's body being transported back to Xianyang?”
"Even the imperial guards of the South Yamen have been mobilized. I don't know what happened.”
"I remember that only when the First Emperor gave the order to kill the rebel army would there be such a big commotion. It seems that something really happened.”
The Qin law had always been very strict. The people in Guanzhong near the streets of Xianyang could only lower their voices and discuss.
Among the voices, there was no lack of exclamations and speculations. All kinds of voices were mixed together.
"Looking at the direction, it's the direction of the noble's residence. Ying Che is indeed cruel and heartless. He's already taking people before he even ascends to the throne.”
Zhou Shi, who was dressed in ordinary clothes and disguised as a commoner, listened to the lively discussions around him and said happily.
"If I'm not wrong, he should be Zhao Gao's son-in-law Yan Le and his clansmen. It's still hard to judge Ying Che's style.”
Even though he wanted to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Liang still maintained a high level of calmness and analyzed rationally.
"Hyah, hyah!"
Along with the rapid movement of the cavalry, an incomparably bright flag fluttered in the wind. On it was written a large Meng character.
The leader was a mighty and extraordinary general, while the other person had a scholarly aura, forming a completely different temperament.
"That's Meng Tian and the First Prince, Fu Su. They have also come to Xianyang.”
Seeing the two people and the hundreds of brave cavalrymen whistling past him, Zhang Liang recognized them at a glance. His unchanging expression turned a little ugly.
How could the generals and princes of the northern border come here without a special order? His plan had not even begun when he was directly killed.
"This, now that Fu Su is here, our plan is ruined. Ying Che's speed is too fast.”
At the same time, the smile on Zhou Shi's face disappeared and he said in a hateful voice.
"For now, we can only take it one step at a time.”
Zhang Liang clenched his fists and said, not wanting to deal a blow to his confidence.
What he did not say just now was that the person who had summoned Meng Tian and Fu Su back at the first possible moment and forced Qin Chen to call him the Crown Prince before entering the city was definitely not someone easy to deal with.
"This is the only way. We should first understand Ying Che's style before we prescribe the right medicine.”
Apparently, he didn't notice anything wrong. Zhou Shi nodded and said with a serious expression.
"I, Meng Tian…"
"I, Chen Fusu…"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Meng Tian and Fu Su, who had not stopped along the way, rushed to the palace to meet the Crown Prince before the coronation and funeral.
Even though Fu Su was the elder brother of all the princes in terms of age, an official was still an official. It was said that etiquette could not be abandoned.
"Meng Qing, and Imperial Brother, please rise. There is no need to be overly polite.”
Meng Tian was not only the commander of the Great Wall Army, but she had also shed blood for the Northern Borderline. Ying Che thought highly of her and spoke.
"We thank Your Highness."
When they thanked Fu Su, Meng Tian was surprised. The Crown Prince treated them with the courtesy of a monarch and his subjects. He was neither distant nor overly friendly.
"Royal brother, what are your plans for the future?”
After the two of them sat down, Ying Che started the topic of the day and continued.
" Your Highness the Crown Prince is thinking of…"
Meng Tian was shocked when she heard the Crown Prince's words. She started to guess his true intentions.
The only person who was most qualified to compete for the throne was the First Prince. No one else was qualified at all.
"Everything will be arranged according to the Crown Prince. There is no need to worry about your identity.”
The Sixth Brother was already the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and becoming the Son of Heaven was undoubtedly a certainty. Fu Su did not think too much and answered directly.
"General Meng, if you have any suggestions, feel free to speak.”
Hearing this, Ying Che remained calm and turned to look at Meng Tian.
"This is a matter between the Crown Prince and the First Prince. It's not good for me to ask.”
When she heard this, Meng Tian finally understood her intentions and spoke truthfully.
Firstly, the Crown Prince had too few civil and military personnel and was unable to effectively control the military and political power. He needed more officials to pledge their loyalty.
Secondly, he was also testing the Meng brothers to see if they were still loyal to the Ying Royal Family. This was another huge political chip.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is truly too clever. Not only did he resolve the hidden danger that the First Prince might bring, but he also left himself completely speechless.”
"Then, my only choice is to be loyal to the Crown Prince.”
It was impossible to describe her shock. A figure appeared in Meng Tian's mind. It was the style of the First Emperor when he handled state affairs. It was almost exactly the same as now.
"Since that's the case, Imperial Brother will stay in Xianyang and do not need to return to Shangjun Camp.”
Sensing the obvious change in Meng Tian, Ying Che continued to speak in a calm and expressionless tone.
As long as he didn't rebel, he wouldn't be a threat. He was indeed ruthless, but he wouldn't kill indiscriminately like Huhai in history.
"See, I will listen to the Crown Prince's arrangements.”
Hearing this, Fu Su also heaved a sigh of relief. He had thought that his sixth brother was going to kill him.
"I've never heard of such shrewdness."
After looking at it again and again, Meng Yi realized that he still couldn't see through the Crown Prince's thoughts. It could be said that he was completely impenetrable.
In the end, he said these words clearly in his heart. After the talented and bold First Emperor, Great Qin had produced another peerless ruler.
"Now is the time when Your Highness the Crown Prince needs people. This subject is selfish and recommended this subject's younger brother Meng Yi.”
An attitude was an important skill. As a soldier, Meng Tian understood the difference between different positions and made a decision in an instant.
"The defense of the northern border is particularly heavy. Having a deputy can reduce the pressure.”
Hearing that Meng Tian finally understood what he meant, Ying Che waved his hand and politely rejected her.
Obtaining the loyalty of Meng Tian, the commander of the Great Wall Army, was equivalent to gaining the loyalty of 300,000 soldiers of the Northern Borderline. It was crucial.
"Compared to the defense of the northern borders, assisting the Crown Prince is more important.”
Meng Tian, who was well aware of this, did not give up and continued to insist.
"Since you have requested it twice, how can I not allow it?”
At the second time, Ying Che's grasp of strength was quite ingenious. He didn't reject it but accepted it.
"The First Emperor found a successor with extraordinary wisdom and great skills.”
Glancing at the Eldest Prince who was still in a daze, Meng Tian looked at the figure in front of her and gave a heartfelt praise.
This time, he didn't waste his efforts on returning to Xianyang. He had gained a lot…
