Fu Yao kicked Hu Hai hard. Hu Hai was furious and turned around to fight back. But suddenly he remembered that he couldn't beat Fu Yao.

Then he turned to look at Ying Zheng and called out with a mournful face: "Father."

At this time, Ying Zheng also felt a little unhappy. He was originally in a happy mood, and the monarch and his ministers got along well with each other. But this guy Hu Hai just came out to make sarcastic remarks, which ruined people's mood.

Ying Zheng glanced at Hu Hai and thought: I used to see this kid, he was smart and lovable, but why has he become more and more hateful recently? Could it be that Zhao Gao taught him bad things?

Seeing that Fu Yao wanted to kick Hu Hai again, Ying Zheng shouted: "As princes, what kind of etiquette is it for fighting each other?"

Fu Yao chuckled and stood back.

Although Ying Zheng scolded Fu Yao just now, he had no intention of punishing him. In other words, Hu Hai's kick was in vain.

Many people saw this and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Mr. Hu Hai, now my grandma really doesn't care, but my uncle doesn't love you.

At this time, the little eunuch next to him said softly: "Your Majesty, whose gift should you choose this year to be offered to the Ancestral Temple for sacrifice? Don't miss the time."

Chunyu Yue said: "I do not shy away from relatives when promoting talents. I think that the gift from Mr. Fu Su is the most appropriate."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu, then suddenly looked at Li Shui, and said calmly: "Fusu's strategy for governing the country is all about winning the hearts of the people. And Huaiguzi's gift is clearly the people's heart. Huaiguzi's gift is

, seems to have gone a step further.”

Chunyu Yue was stunned and said without hesitation: "The popular sentiment of banishing immortals may not be true."

Li Shui immediately rolled up his sleeves and thought: What? Do you still want to follow in Hu Hai's footsteps? I don't dare to hit Hu Hai, and I don't dare to hit you?

Chunyu Yue saw Li Shui's eagerness to try, and quickly took a step back, then sighed: "The beasts are in charge."

At this time, a little eunuch ran over panting and limping. This little eunuch was Ji Ming.

Ji Ming wiped the sweat from his head and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have captured a group of assassins, they are Huns."

Ying Zheng sneered: "The Huns are so diligent. They come to assassinate them at the beginning of the year. Find out their accomplices and kill them all."

Ji Ming said: "The Huns seem to have something to do with the banishment of immortals."

When he said this, Ji Ming glanced at Li Shui secretly and quickly looked away when he saw Li Shui rolling up his sleeves and looking like he was about to hit someone.

According to Ji Ming's idea, even if Huaiguzi was to be overthrown, it would only be possible after the imperial examination was over several months later.

But today, there is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ji Ming really can't bear it anymore.

Ying Zheng frowned and looked at Ji Ming with a deep look: "Are you falsely accusing Huaiguzi?"

Ji Ming shook his head vigorously: "Absolutely not. It was said by the Huns themselves, and many people have heard it."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Bring the Huns here and I will interrogate them myself."

Li Shui stood beside him, not looking nervous at all.

Why are you nervous? You are not afraid even if Xiang Liang comes, let alone the Huns?

After a while, twenty Huns were brought in. One of them was shouting loudly: "Huaiguzi, I want to see Huaiguzi."

Li Shui saw that his face was full of beard and his nose was high. He definitely looked like a barbarian.

Ying Zheng asked: "Who are you?"

The leading Huns said loudly: "I am Modu, the prince of the Huns."

Ying Zheng subconsciously looked at Li Si, Wang Wan and others.

Wang Wan said with a puzzled look: "The Hun prince, with twenty guards, appeared in our capital of Qin, and was captured. This... is a bit unbelievable."

Li Si also nodded and said: "The origin of this person is quite suspicious, maybe he is pretending to be someone else."

Mao Dun shouted loudly: "I have evidence, come on, show me the evidence."

The guards behind also shouted loudly: "Hurry and untie us and get the evidence."

These people were shouting so loudly that their ears were ringing.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but frown: "These people seem to be a little stupid in their words and deeds."

Ying Zheng looked at Ji Ming: "Go get the evidence."

Ji Ming snorted and asked Mao Dun: "Where is the evidence?"

Mao Dun said: "In my arms."

Ji Ming put his hand in, felt inside, and took out a small gold knife.

This knife has no edge and is too small, so it can only be used for decoration. The exquisite patterns carved on it are extremely precious even in the Central Plains.

Ying Zheng asked in confusion: "Are you really the prince of the Huns?"

Modun nodded repeatedly: "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can take my portrait to the Huns and ask."

Ying Zheng asked curiously: "Since you are the prince of the Huns, why did you come to my country, the Qin Dynasty?"

Mao Dun said: "I came here specially to see the banished immortal Huai Guzi."

Ying Zheng asked again: "Are you the envoy?"

Mao Dun shook his head and said: "The Chanyu wanted to kill me and made Sha Tilie the crown prince. In a hurry, I fled to Da Qin. I heard that Da Qin had banished immortals who could call the wind and rain and attract heavenly soldiers to help me. This time I

, I’m here to borrow troops.”

Zhao Teng was a little helpless and thought to himself: "Who spread the rumor? This has made the Hun prince miserable."

Seeing that Ying Zheng was silent, Mao Dun immediately said: "Your Majesty, I admire the great power of the Qin Dynasty. If your Majesty is not willing to lend troops, I just ask for a full meal every day to save my life."

The guards at the back also nodded repeatedly, and many of them even sniffed and said hungrily: "I seem to smell the aroma of meat."

Chunyu Yue sighed and said in a low voice: "When I met Shatilie a few months ago, I was already a little confused. How could the Youxian King of the Xiongnu be so stupid? After meeting Mao Dun today, I found that this man is extremely stupid.

Yu Satile. It seems that the barbarians are indeed barbarians. They have no strength and are very simple-minded."

As soon as this statement came out, many people nodded.

Li Xin asked Ying Zheng eagerly: "Your Majesty, do you want to kill these people?"

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said: "No need, lock them up first and let me think about how to deal with them."

So several guards dragged Mao Dun and others away.

When the Huns left, they were still shouting: "Your Majesty, we are willing to be the common people of the Qin Dynasty."

Li Shui said with a smile: "Your Majesty, our Qin Dynasty is so famous that even the prince of the Xiongnu yearns for it, abandoning his family and business to come here. How about this person as a new year's gift?"

"Okay, very good." Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly. Then he said with some regret: "Unfortunately, this person is still useful. Otherwise, it would be a happy thing to chop off his head and use this person to comfort the ancestors' spirits in heaven.

.”

Li Shui was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty plans to keep this person?"

Ying Zheng said: "Shatilie has been punished. Once he dies, the Huns will fight for the position of Shanyu, and there will be chaos. Unfortunately, he is not old, and I am afraid he will still have a good life for several decades."

"But if Mao Dun is left behind, or even helps Mao Dun, and the two brothers fight, then the Huns will immediately be in chaos."

"In this way, we don't have to wait for decades anymore. We, the people of Great Qin, can save hundreds of thousands of people. They don't have to guard the border. They can farm and thrive with peace of mind."

Chunyu Yue said with emotion: "God bless the Qin Dynasty."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said: "There is God's will, and there is also human power. This person came in the name of Huai Guzi. Huai Guzi should be remembered as the first meritorious service."

Li Shuigan laughed, but thought in his heart: "Modun looks stupid. Did Sima Qian remember it wrong, or is this guy pretending to be stupid?"

At this time, Fu Yao suddenly said quietly: "Who framed my master just now for treason? Ji Ming, what do you say?"

Jiming suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and then hesitantly said: "Slave slave, when did you say that the banished immortal conspired to rebel? The slave girl said that the Huns and the banished immortal are quite related. Isn't it...?"

Fu Yao was slightly startled, wondering why Ji Ming had been so quick to respond recently? He immediately said: "You just said that the Huns are assassins, and you also said that my master is closely related to the Huns. Isn't this a false accusation against my master?"

Ji Mingqian laughed and said: "That is because the slave misunderstood the Huns, and the original intention was not to slander the immortals."

When answering this, Ji Ming was also secretly proud. After several confrontations with Li Shui, his IQ had also improved a lot.

Fu Yao was speechless and looked at Li Shui. Li Shui said helplessly: "This is not how you accuse people of treason. Come on, come on, I will demonstrate it to you."

Everyone was speechless. Is it a crime to teach Luo Zhi on the spot?

Ying Zheng said calmly: "That's all, Ji Ming did not do a good job in investigating and lied about the news. The worst case is a hundred."

Ji Ming responded happily and left happily.

As he walked, Ji Ming thought: "His Majesty actually took action to save me personally. I am really... touched. It seems that I, Ji Ming, have regained His Majesty's trust."

As for being beaten, Ji Ming is used to it. If His Majesty has this hobby, then he should try his best to turn it into a hobby.

Just after Ji Ming was sent away, another young eunuch came in a hurry. He was also sweating profusely: "Your Majesty, the Hun Sha Tilie has sent thousands of good horses and countless cattle and sheep."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui: "Did you ask him to give it to you?"

Li Shui looked confused: "No."

Chunyu Yue felt a little uncomfortable in his heart: "What's going on with this guy Huai Guzi? Why is he so evil? Sha Tilie keeps sending cattle and sheep over and over again. Is he crazy?"

Soon, the three brothers from the Western Regions were brought to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng asked: "Since you came back with the cattle and sheep, you must have met Sha Tilie. Then Sha Tilie, why did you send cattle and sheep to me, Da Qin?"

The three brothers from the Western Regions looked confused: "Shatilie? I have never seen Shatilie. It was sent by Shanyu."

Ying Zheng asked curiously: "Why did the Xiongnu Chanyu give me Daqin cattle and sheep?"

The three brothers from the Western Regions also looked confused, thought for a while and said: "At that time, we mentioned Master Huai's name. Those Huns were extremely polite to us, and then gave us cattle and sheep."

"On the way, they were in such a hurry that they didn't let us stop for a moment at the border of the Xiongnu. I think... they wanted to deliver the gift in time for the new year. Well! This must be the Xiongnu Chanyu who gave it to me in the Qin Dynasty.

New year gift."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and praised repeatedly: "The pillar of the country, the pillar of the country. The banishment of immortals has given me too many surprises today."

Li Shui came back to his senses from his daze, laughed dryly, and said humbly: "Wherever, wherever, your Majesty is running the country well."

Ying Zheng said: "This year, I will bring locust millet to sacrifice to my ancestors. The locust millet will help me govern the world, only in March and May. However, the results are remarkable. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, all the people have returned to their hearts. The Xiongnu troubles are gradually disappearing. The Qin Dynasty has no internal worries.

, no foreign troubles, a prosperous age."

Later, Ying Zheng said to Li Shui: "Come, follow me to the Ancestral Temple. You are the best gift this year. I want to dedicate you to my ancestors."
