Soon, the officials in the hall left one after another.
The grand hall fell silent once again.
Only the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, and Meng Yi were left.
The lights on the Xuan Bird flickered in the night, reflecting the dignified look on Ying Zheng's face.
Meng Yi stood at the side silently.
Although the three generations of the Meng family had made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng was extremely close to Meng Yi and made him a high official.
They could even sit in the same carriage.
However, Meng Yi was still the same. He had the highest respect and worship for the First Emperor, and his etiquette was perfect.
He knew what His Majesty wanted to say. He did not need to ask, and His Majesty would naturally say it.
At the same time, he had also figured out the reason why the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, had asked him to stay.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, did not look at Meng Yi. Instead, he stared at the night sky outside the palace with a deep gaze.
Suddenly, he said in a deep voice,"
"Meng Yi, do you know why I asked you to stay?？
"Your Majesty, I don't know!"
When Meng Yi heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. The thoughts of an emperor were something that a minister like him could easily guess.
This was also why, even though Fu Su was the eldest son, no one dared to be sure that he would inherit the throne of the First Emperor.
Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, the monarch's heart is unpredictable!
"Meng Yi, you are my trusted aide, so I will leave this matter to you."
"Tonight, I will discuss with you the safety of Fusu's escort to the Great Wall tomorrow!”
"After all, Fusu can be demoted easily, but the safety of my son must be guaranteed!”
"So, what do you think?"
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, looked at Meng Yi with a stern face and asked in a deep voice,"
Hearing this, Meng Yi's expression instantly became quite serious. Even though Great Qin was in control, there were still the remnants of the six countries.
The gang led by Zhang Liang was even more audacious. Back then, they even dared to assassinate His Majesty!
Therefore, Young Master Fusu's safety needed to be guaranteed.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion.
"The most suitable method is to arrange for His Majesty's trusted aides to go with Young Master Fusu. At the same time, arrange for more than a hundred secret guards to protect him in secret!”
Meng Yi thought for a while and said in a low and solemn voice.
If he had not been a military commander and a civil commander, he would not have become the trusted aide of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, even if his ancestors were illustrious.
"Oh? Tell me why!"
When the First Emperor heard this, his expression was calm, but a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes.
Meng Yi was almost the same as what he thought. As expected of someone he valued.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Fusu is not going to war, but to be demoted!”
"If we use a large army to escort them, not only will it not be fair, but we will also transfer the capital's troops to change the military deployment!”
"At the same time, moving slowly will consume a huge amount of rations! It caused a lot of waste!"
In addition, there was not enough food in the country to begin with. There were already many areas suffering from famine, so it was not advisable!”
Meng Yi's expression became serious as he spoke, If we use a dozen or so cavalry, not only will we not have to worry about food, but we will also be light and fast!”
"With a hundred secret guards following us, we can solve the problem of food on our own.”
"Even though there are remnants of the Six Nations within Great Qin's territory, with their intelligence capabilities, they are nothing to worry about unless we take the initiative to expose ourselves.”
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to find Young Master Fusu's whereabouts, let alone catch up to Young Master and the others.”
"Even in the worst case scenario, if we encounter them on the road ahead, the remnants of the Six Nations will not be able to gather hundreds or thousands of assassination teams to stop us!”
As he spoke, Meng Yi took out the map he carried with him.
He immediately drew out a secret and safe route for Ying Zheng.
"As expected of my high minister!"
The First Emperor nodded in satisfaction. He did not think that the safety of Fu Su was a problem.
However, Great Qin was in his hands.
Unless the tracks of the army were leaked in advance, nothing could have happened to Fu Su!
"Your Majesty, you praise me too much. There is still a flaw in this plan of mine. That is, the person escorting me must be a trusted aide of Your Majesty!”
"Otherwise, the risk will be increased if the traces are leaked in advance.”
Meng Yi said solemnly.
"Meng Yi, I will leave this matter to you!”Looking at Meng Yi, Ying Zheng said in a low voice, his expression unchanged.
Hearing this, Meng Yi could not help but be startled, as he looked at the determination in Ying Zheng's eyes.
"I will not fail you!"”
"Alright, you may leave!"
Emperor Ying Zheng nodded and waved his hand.
Meng Yi bowed and cupped his hands before walking out of the hall.
"Wait!"
Right at this moment, when Meng Yi was about to step out of the hall, Ying Zheng's voice rang out again.
Meng Yi immediately turned around.
"Go to Fusu's mansion and pass a message to me, telling him to take a good look at how I fought my way to the Great Wall!”
"If you're still holding a Confucian book and reading it, you don't have to come back!”
As he said that, the eyes of the First Emperor Ying Zheng were filled with raging flames of fury.
Back then, I really shouldn't have handed these sons over to those Confucian scholars to teach!!
"This lowly subject receives the decree!"
Meng Yi bowed to receive the decree. He looked down at the ground with a worried expression. It seemed that Young Master Fusu had really angered the Emperor.
"Alright, you may leave!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand, and Meng Yi stood up and left.
After Meng Yi stepped out of the hall, he looked at the pitch-black night sky outside the hall!
Suddenly, he felt a gust of cold wind. Thinking of Fu Su's actions, Sun Jian felt a sense of sorrow.
"Young Master Fusu, I hope that when you go to the Great Wall this time, you won't read those Confucian books and watch the border warriors fight against the Xiongnu.”
Grow some courage!
