Meng Wu was taken all the way to Zhangtai Palace by Zhao Ling, and he could not say anything about leaving the eldest son of the three tribes in Xianyang. Xi Wenyan and Meng Weiran all had their hearts in their throats. Meng Wu said not only the laws set by the First Emperor, but Zhao Ling made an extremely serious mistake. Zhao Ling may have thought they had completely surrendered, but the methods Zhao Ling showed already scared them. Even if such an emperor promised them good, life and death were all in Zhao Ling's thoughts. Zhao Ling let them deeply understand what it means to be a thunder, rain and dew are all kindness. How many contributions have been made by the three major clans over the past hundreds of years? Which of the Qin monarchs before the First Emperor respects them? They have been ministers for generations. Even though Shang Yang weakened a lot of their power after the reforms, they seemed to have no military power in the court, but in fact their status has long surpassed the imperial power. If the emperor wants to issue any political orders, then it would be better for them. People go to implement it? Zhao Ling gave them the opportunity to make money, but what is money to them? The foundation and majesty of the three major clans cannot be easily insulted by a young boy like Zhao Ling! Zhao Ling wanted to completely control them, so he had already violated the taboos of the three major clans.
Xi Wenyan was really afraid that Meng Wu would persuade him a few more words, and then Zhao Ling listened and called their sons back. It was really hard for them to act under Zhao Ling's nose. Zhangtai Palace. This was originally the palace where Qin Shihuang handled government affairs and daily life in the past. Zhao Ling sat behind the case, and the three patriarchs and Meng Wu stood in front of him. Meng Wu did not forget Shi Yingzheng's instructions. Before Zhao Ling could speak, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the legitimate sons of the three major clans should not leave Xianyang easily. They must return within a deadline when they leave the city, otherwise the clan leader will be held accountable." This is the law, and it is also the matter of the agreement between the royal family and the clan. Meng Wu did not give Xi Wenyan and the others at all. After saying that, he even looked at Xi Wenyan: "Xi Wenyan, you are always respectful, you have not been to the new ones. Emperor's lecture? ” Xi Wenyan quickly argued: "The dog son and his wife left the city to issue a government order for His Majesty to open warehouses and release grain and relieve the victims." Meng Wu sneered: "The three major clans are really powerful. Do you have to pass on the legitimate son to convey the orders of Your Majesty? You three don't know how to hand over the family token? Your Majesty told your son not to return to Xianyang, so you really dare to let them go. Not coming back? ” Meng Weiran frowned and said, "Mengwu, Your Majesty has an order. Do you want us to resist the order and refuse to obey it?" Bai Qi also echoed: "My son rushed to the disaster area to help the victims. Your Majesty is kind and let them see the world outside and return to the ancestral land to worship their ancestors, so there is no limit on the return date. This is your Majesty's favor. General Meng should not learn that. Flattering villains are petty." Meng Weiran also said sarcastically: "Elder General Meng, my three tribes have opened warehouses and released grain, and Your Majesty gave the Nine Provinces Divine Stones. Isn't it jealous that the Old General Meng is not jealous?" Meng Wu's eyes flashed with fire, his fists were pinched hard, and he looked at Meng Weiran with a sneer: "Old Man Meng, is my fist too light today? Do you dare to talk to me like this?" The three major clans have great prestige in the Qin Dynasty, but when they meet Meng Wu, whether they give face or not depends entirely on his mood. Meng Weiran was so scared that he quickly took two steps back, looked at Zhao Ling secretly, scolded Meng Wu, "Meng Wu, Your Majesty is here, do you dare to act violently? Where is your face in the royal family?" "Ha! Hey, even if I beat you today, what does it have to do with the royal face? You dare to disrespect the orders of the First Emperor and deceive the young master. I beat you to teach you a lesson for the First Emperor." Meng Wu said that, he really wanted to start fighting. Seeing this, Zhao Ling quickly shouted, "God of anger, Old General Meng! After hearing what I said, it's not too late for you to fight again." Meng Wu raised his fists, and after Zhao Ling said this, he stopped. Zhao Ling asked casually: "Elder General Meng, why did the former emperor decide that the three direct descendants of the three major clans should not leave Xianyang without permission?"
Meng Wu's eyes pounded violently and looked at Zhao Ling with a complicated expression. Can it be why? Isn't it just that they are concerned about the forces of the three major clans, and they are afraid that they will lose control and rebel. The legitimate sons and grandchildren, including the clan leader, stay in Xianyang, and they also have the intention of being hostages. The tacit matter, whether it is to consider the face issues of both sides or other things, the First Emperor would not say it in front of the three patriarchs. Meng Wu has been learning military strategy since he was a child. He is reckless, but he is not stupid. He knows very well that even if he beat Meng Weiran in front of Zhao Ling, Meng Weiran would not actually care much. But if he says some words, it will completely push the entire Meng family to the opposite of the three major clans. If the First Emperor had not ordered him to recover the legitimate sons of the three major clans, he would definitely not have made a Ling asked this question in front of Meng Weiran and the others and made him feel bad about it? "The old general Meng is not easy to answer, so let me say it." Zhao Ling sneered and glanced at Xi Wenyan and the others, "It's just that the three major clans are mixed in the Qin Dynasty, and they are afraid that they will escape from the imperial power. Control, the legitimate son returned to his old place and seized one side, then rebelled or something, and just took them hostages." Meng Weiran and the other three showed panic on their faces. Xi Wenyan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the First Emperor has left our legitimate sons in Xianyang, and he just wants to use them. It is also a great emphasis on our clans. How can we say hostages? The people of our three tribes devoted their efforts to the Qin Dynasty, and the First Emperor was annexed. In the six countries, we provide food, grass, soldiers and horses, and are loyal, so how can we say that we rebel?” "Your Majesty, be careful!" "Your dear, do you believe me?" Zhao Ling waved his hand, "Okay, I'll call the four of you here. There are no one here, and I'm not the late emperor, so I open my words." Zhao Ling's words made Xi Wenyan and others silent directly. Yes, there is no one here, but you can't say that. How did the direct descendants of our three major clans become hostages in Xianyang? The three of them felt even more disgraceful and were more determined to pull Zhao Ling off the throne, but now they didn't dare to speak anymore. The current situation in Xianyang is still completely under Zhao Ling's control. He can say whatever he likes. "Three, why don't you let me guess what the three of you said when you sent the young master out of Xianyang." There seemed to be a light in Zhao Ling's eyes. This light could see through people's hearts and make people panic. "I just said it randomly, don't take it seriously, you three." Meng Weiran and the others were in chaos, but their faces were calm, because without exception, they all said something they wanted to support Fusu. Zhao Ling first said directly that they were hostages and did not cover up any concealment. Could it be... could he really guess what they said?
