Inside the Han King Palace.
Zhao Mu and Wang Ben sat opposite each other.
In terms of official positions, Zhao Mu was a civil official, while Wang Ben was a general.
The Great Qin Empire was founded on martial arts, and the status of generals was extremely important.
Wang Ben had followed his father to conquer the Six Nations, and he had made great contributions. The First Emperor had sent Wang Ben here, which showed how much importance the First Emperor placed on Zhao Mu's safety!
"His Majesty heard that the grandson of Han Country's Prime Minister, Kai Kadi, wanted to ambush the Marquis Champion and immediately sent me here.”
"It's difficult to repay His Majesty's kindness!"
"Marquis Champion, the nobles of Zhao and Han have already gone to Xianyang. Where are we going next?”
"To Qi Country!"
Wang Ben nodded. He was the one who had conquered the Qi Kingdom, and not a single soldier was injured. The five kingdoms had been destroyed, and the Qi Kingdom had surrendered when the Great Qin Empire's soldiers arrived.
Qi State had not experienced the war and was much richer than other countries.
Moreover, there were many beautiful women in the Qi Kingdom. There was a saying that one could sit and enjoy the blessings of the Qi people.
Zhao Mu had gone to Chu before. Pei County was within the borders of Chu. Xiao He and Fan Kuai were all from Chu.
Therefore, Zhao Mu did not plan to go to the Chu Country again. He planned to go to the Qi Country and see the glory of the Qi Country. Moreover, the nobles of the Qi Country were the most difficult to deal with and were more cunning.
The people of Chu loved to fight. When Great Qin attacked Chu, the nobles of Chu were all killed or injured, and only a few clans were left to support them, such as the Xiang clan and the Gao clan…
The Xiang Clan is Xiang Yan's clan. Ever since Zhao Mu left Xianyang City, the Xiang Clan had moved away from the Chu Land to hide, and their whereabouts were already unknown.
Currently, within the borders of Chu, there was no longer any royal family in Chu.
Qi State was different. After Qi State surrendered, the nobles of Qi State were completely preserved.
Moreover, Zhao Mu had the mission of unifying the languages of the six countries. This matter needed to be done from the Qi Kingdom.
Two days later, the mighty 100,000-strong army set off for Qi Country!
20 days later, Zhao Mu ascended Mount Tai. Standing on the peak of Mount Tai, he looked around and saw the entire land of Qi and Lu!
Wang Ben stood beside Zhao Mu and said,""The last time I came to the Qi Kingdom, I passed by in a hurry and didn't reach this mountain. Now that I've reached the peak, it's really vast and majestic!”
Wang Ben sighed in his heart. The last time he led his army to conquer the Qi Kingdom, he didn't even have the chance to see the Qi Kingdom.
……
Xianyang.
Ganquan Palace.
" You…" Li Jiang felt uneasy." Your Majesty, Mu 'er won't be in any danger, right? Elder Sister only has this one son…"
"I've already sent Wang Ben to protect Mu 'er. Wang Ben has been through many battles, and he'll be able to protect Mu' er with ease!”
Li Jiang listened to the First Emperor's words and sighed.""ChenQie also did not leave behind a son or daughter for Your Majesty. Mu 'er is already the flesh and blood of my heart, so nothing must happen to him. Your Majesty, you should quickly summon Mu' er back.”
"Summon back? Do you know that this trip to the Six Nations is a heaven-shaking achievement? If the Marquis Champion didn't have any achievements, how could he convince the people? Look at all the officials in the court. Who is truly convinced by the Marquis Champion?”
"There's naturally no need to mention General Wang Jian. He destroyed the six countries and is a great contributor to Us, a pillar of Great Qin. Even though he doesn't participate in government affairs, do you think General Wang Jian will acknowledge the Marquis Champion?”
Li Jiang smiled." Old General Wang has made such a great contribution. Let alone the Marquis Champion, who in the entire court can be more meritorious than Old General Wang?!" Old General Wang is retreating bravely…"
"Then look at Li Si, Wang Wan, and the others. Do you think they really respect the Marquis Champion? Of course, they were convinced. They just didn't say it. If they wanted to convince them, they needed to use their achievements to speak. Only when their achievements were high enough could they obtain their submission!”
Just as the First Emperor and Li Jiang were chatting in Ganquan Palace, a eunuch ran into the palace and reported,""Your Majesty, Madam Zheng is seriously ill. Young Master Fusu has already fainted from crying. Your Majesty, please go and take a look.”
"Your Majesty, ChenQie will go with you to see Younger Sister Zheng.”
Mrs. Zheng was Fu Su's mother. She was four or five years younger than Li Jiang. After the First Emperor took power, Duke Zheng recommended her to the palace. However, the First Emperor had always been thinking about Ah Fang. Even though Mrs. Zheng had given birth to the First Emperor's eldest son, the First Emperor had not been particularly close to her.
In the entire Xianyang Palace, only Li Jiang could accompany the First Emperor to relieve his loneliness.
However, Li Jiang did not give birth to any children, so she did not leave any children for the First Emperor.
The First Emperor and Li Jiang carried him to the Li Palace to visit Madam Zheng.
In the Li Palace, the fragrance of sandalwood was faintly discernible. Madam Zheng was a Dao believer with a noble character. She often educated Fusu on how to treat others humbly and how to govern the country with etiquette.
After the First Emperor entered the Li Palace, the officials and maids in the palace hurriedly greeted the Emperor. The First Emperor strode into the hall, and Madam Zheng lay on the bed, her face pale.
Fu Su was kneeling beside Mrs. Zheng and feeding her medicine.
"Father…"
"Your Majesty…"
Mrs. Zheng was about to get up when the First Emperor walked to the bed and took the soup from Fusu.
"Don't get up again. I'll feed you. Why are you so sick?”
"A few days ago, I caught a cold. It's getting worse recently.”
"Drink the medicine and rest. Don't think too much.”
After the First Emperor finished speaking, Madam Zheng saw Li Jiang and wanted to stand up to greet her sister, but she was stopped by Li Jiang. After all, Madam Zheng was still a madam, and Li Jiang was only the Palace Lord of Ganquan Palace…
If she didn't give birth to a son for His Majesty, she couldn't be called a wife…
Now that Li Jiang had taken Zhao Mu as his godson, the regret in his heart was gone.
"Fusu, let me ask you. Do you know why I did all these things, right or wrong?”
Hearing the First Emperor's question, Fu Su knelt on the ground.""Imperial Father, your son doesn't know why Imperial Father is doing this, but your son begs Imperial Father to retract his orders. The scholarly faction cannot be destroyed, the written language cannot be destroyed, and the ancient records of our ancestors cannot be destroyed! This is a big mistake!"
"Me!" Qin Shihuang was furious and subconsciously wanted to throw the bowl of medicinal soup at Fu Su's face.
However, when Qin Shihuang saw Madam Zheng lying on the bed with a pale face, he suppressed his anger and waved his hand to dismiss Fu Su!
After Fu Su left, Ying Zheng continued to sit by the bed, feeding the medicine to Madam Zheng.
The First Emperor had an indomitable spirit. Whether it was his country, his subjects, his people, or even his women and children, he had no regrets!
Li Jiang looked at Fu Su's back as he left and sighed. Why can't you understand your father's good intentions?
Isn't your Imperial Father doing this so that you can smoothly take over the Great Qin Empire?
If there were all kinds of characters and languages, how could the hearts of the people be unified?
The First Emperor was most afraid of conquering the land of the six states but not the hearts of the people. What he was doing now was to conquer the hearts of the people of the six states.
Only when the hearts of the people of the six states were united would the world be unified. It would be passed down for thousands of years and even tens of thousands of years, and there would be a strong cohesion!
Why can't you understand him?
Li Jiang watched as the First Emperor fed the medicine to Madam Zheng. Her heart ached for this man who was indomitable and had infinite tenderness…
