A ritual that should have been lively and ended in vain, the people of Xianyang also discussed it privately, but in fact, the court was relatively quiet, because many princes and princes and ministers had already known the inside story, and there were various speculations about whether Li Xin Jianghu and even Meng Tian would be punished by the First Emperor.

After a simple welcoming ceremony with officials from the three provinces and six ministries, Li Xin took the accompanying military chief to the Ministry of War to hand over military orders and prisoners of war information, etc. After finishing, he went home to wash and change clothes.

Li Xin has been there for more than three years and has never come back during this period. Only soldiers who have communicated military information bring back letters to report their safety every once in a while. Therefore, after Li Xin suddenly returned home this time, his wives, concubines and children were extremely happy. He kowtowed to pay homage and arranged a banquet to serve gently. However, Li Xin couldn't be happy no matter how he was. He kept sighing with grief. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, he lost his appetite. After driving everyone out, he started to drink.

He originally wanted to resolve the enamel crisis through a victory against the Great Yuezhi and tens of thousands of prisoners, but it seemed that the First Emperor did not intend to forgive him, and he would not even let him go to the palace to pay homage, which gave him a very bad premonition.

Maybe, I started thinking too easily.

Also, he has been fighting abroad all year round, and his activities in the court are too few and insufficient, so he does not have enough help to resolve this crisis. The only person he can rely on at the moment is Meng Tian, ​​the Marquis of Jingwu, but even Meng Tian will probably be implicated in the disaster this time. He cannot guarantee that Meng Tian will not kill him to sacrifice to the heavens... Well, throw him out as a shield.

Originally, there was a Qinghe Marquis who had a pretty good relationship. If he came to ask for help, he might have helped, but Qinghe Marquis returned to his hometown to visit relatives. He also heard that he would take his wives, concubines and children to a tour of the southeast, which lasted at least three to five months.

The more Li Xin thought about it, the more depressed he became. He couldn't help but smash the wine glass to pieces when he was confused. He immediately frightened the group of wives, concubines and children guarding outside the door.

"Squeak~" The door of the empty room was pushed open, and his wife Yuan came in carefully, turned around and covered the door and knelt in front of Li Xin and said, "Why are you upset and angry, have you won this time? Could it be that there is a marquis in the court who is dissatisfied with you?"

Li Xin glanced at the original wife, waved his hand depressedly and said, "Get up, you can't explain this clearly, I'm too careless!"

"Husband, you are the backbone of our family. Don't lose your room. Women don't know the reason for your husband's boredom. Since you have something to do, you'd better go to some familiar Qinghou to ask and discuss. Although my brother is not at a high level, he also serves as a fifth-rank school order in the Ministry of Works. You also know that the Ministry of Works and the Hou Qinghehou has a good relationship. Many officials of the Ministry of Works are on duty in the Academy of Sciences and are all subordinates of the Hou Qinghehou. Why don't you go and inquire? It's better than drinking wine at home and hurting your body..." Yuan gently massaged Li Xin's shoulders and back and gently relieved.

"You are right, I'll go and discuss it with my uncle!" After hearing this, Li Xin stood up after being silent for a moment and called his servants to go out.

The Yuan brother is named Yuan Kun, who works in the Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and is also the director of the experimental factory affiliated to the Academy of Sciences. The fifth-rank position is already considered a real middle-level cadre in Daqin. Generally, officials cannot get to this level without certain abilities and backstage.

Just like Jiangbeiting, he has been only a sixth-rank county magistrate for so many years. If the evaluation is not good or no one in the court has helped him, he will probably die in his life. However, Jiang's family has people in both military and political terms. Jiangbeiting has been transferred to Pei County Magistrate for almost six years. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon be promoted to the fifth-rank magistrate. He is very likely to be transferred to the county magistrate in a certain place. If the family is a little more powerful, he may be transferred back to the Beijing Office and work hard until he is 60 years old. It is very likely that he will be a third-rank chief and can be regarded as a real senior cadre.

As an official who has been in the capital for many years, Yuan Kun naturally knew Xianyang City. Seeing his brother-in-law, who had not returned home for three years, come to find him, he happily took Li Xin to a physiotherapy hall for massage and back for great health care.

Although Li Xin was depressed, he was still very surprised and liked this novel health care. He enjoyed the 98-year-old girl stomped on her back, and her bones were slamming all over her body and her comfort was indescribable.

"I haven't come back for three years, but Xianyang almost couldn't recognize it. Not to mention that the city has become cement roads, there are all kinds of Quyuan Restaurants, Shops and Bookstores everywhere. This physiotherapy hall is also novel and unique, and it has a unique flavor on the back... on the waist... yes... comfortable..." Li Xin closed his eyes and hummed comfortably.

"Although the physiotherapy hall is novel, it is just a relief. The biggest changes are the libraries and the Peking University, Qinghe Hospital, the new office building of the Academy of Sciences and the office building of the School of Literature. My brother-in-law often goes around the city when he is free, and even those who stay in Xianyang for many years feel like they are dreaming..."

"Last year, the Academy of Sciences invented a loom, which is so complex that it is unbelievable that five pieces of cloth can be weaved by one person a day..."

"There are also selections of hundreds of scholars, and the Marquis of Qinghe was ranked first...

"Last year, the Western Dayuan Kingdom came to pay homage to the founding emperor, and the Marquis of Qinghe won nine of their sweat-blooded BMWs worth ten thousand gold..."

"In March of this year, Xianyang also held a spring commodity fair and a courtesan competition. The leader Lin Xian'er caused a fight between Qinghe Hou and Jiancheng Hou. In the end, the two of them bet a big game, Jiancheng Hou narrowly won, and Qinghe Hou left..."

Yuan Kun lay on the massage table next to him and began to introduce the changes and major events in Xianyang in the past two years to Li Xin, and almost all these things were related to Chen Xu.

"What is the courtesan competition? What is the suha again?" After not staying in Xianyang for several years, Li Xin felt that he was out of touch with Daqin's life and could not understand at all.

"The Courtesan Competition is a concert and dance competition jointly organized by hundreds of Quyuan Gardens in Xianyang City. Each Quyuan selects one of its own top actors to participate, and displays singing and dancing instruments on the stage. Twenty famous singers and dancers all over the world score and judge the heroes..."

Yuan Kun introduced the courtesan competition in detail, and also focused on the touching story of Lin Xian'er's skirt being torn by the fairy pet Wukong of Qinghehou, and then apologizing for Qinghehou's perfume and soap. Now this story has spread all over the world. After countless gossip lovers add fuel to the fire, the story has become quite ambiguous. Later, Qinghehou had a great bet with Jianchenghou for Lin Xian'er, which also pushed the story to a very imaginative level.

"Suha heard it was a novel play called poker, but I haven't seen it yet. People who have heard it were still confused. It was a card made of paper, including red and black plum squares, one, two, three, and four, and the sharp Kaiku hook..."

"Anyway, the Marquis of Qinghe and Marquis of Jiancheng fought in Chunfangyuan that day. Countless kings, princes and ministers saw it with their own eyes. They heard it was extremely nervous and exciting. Unfortunately, my status was too low and I couldn't see it..." Yuan Kun shook his head regretfully.

"Lin Xian'er is really so beautiful and affectionate that even the Marquis of Qinghe can't let it go?" Li Xin was a little confused.

"The brother-in-law doesn't need to be a suspicious about this. The Queen of Qinghe really likes her, and Lin Xian'er is indeed worthy of being the leader. If it weren't for her origin in Luoyang and not famous in Xianyang, she would probably have won the first place in the courtesan. Since winning Lin Xian'er, Chunfang Garden, which was built by Marquis, has also become the top Quyuan in Xianyang. I heard that countless princes, princes, famous scholars, and wealthy merchants came to support her. Every day, they are bustling in and out, they are all nobles. It is not easy for me to enter if I don't have an acquaintance to recommend her. It is even more extravagant to have a kiss with Lin Xian'er..." Yuan Kun sighed with a lonely expression.

A fifth-rank official was at least a senior official at the level of a county magistrate in another county. It was not an exaggeration to say that he would call the wind and rain. However, in Xianyang, a place where kings and princes are all over the ground and there are many officials and ministers, he would almost never take up official positions. If he did not have a title of title of the same status, he would be completely unpopular.

"Just a singer, why is it so glorious? When I have time, I will go to Chunfang Garden to see this romantic and affectionate little lady, so I will press it on the couch to fuck her..." Li Xin heard that his uncle was so lonely, so he hummed with disdain.

"Brother-in-law, don't cause trouble. Although Lin Xian'er lives in Chunfang Garden for a while, Qinghe Hou did not give up. After losing with Jiancheng Hou, he thought about it and was angry. He once said that when his Qinghe Garden was renovated and expanded, he would take out a million yuan of gambling funds to gamble with Jiancheng Hou, and want to win Lin Xian'er back..."

"Qinghe Hou really said that?" Li Xin turned his head to look at his uncle in surprise.

"There is no falsehood in this matter, "Qinghe Hou personally admits that everyone knows about this, so my brother-in-law advises me not to force myself to get close to Lin Xian'er, so as not to be hated by Qinghe Hou... By the way, my brother-in-law just returned to the court today, so why didn't he go to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty? If you have time, come to me to have fun?"

The two of them communicated for a long time, and then Yuan Kun finally felt something was wrong with this.

"Oh!" Li Xin sighed after hearing his uncle ask, and a feeling of depression once again covered his whole body. He instantly felt that he was starting to get bad again. But today he was originally looking for a way out, so he waved his hand and ordered the two young ladies who were stepping on their backs to leave the room, and then roughly talked about the stolen and sold enamel equipment from the two armies of the Western Army.

"I originally wanted to use this great victory and these prisoners to calm this bad incident, but I couldn't find anyone to help in the court. Now that Your Majesty doesn't want to see me, the consequences of this matter are unpredictable... Alas!" After Li Xin said that, he sighed quietly again.

"So the Western Army's reselling equipment is actually true?" Yuan Kun spoke after a long time of silence.

"So what's true? Tens of thousands of soldiers are far away from their hometowns, and they don't want anything. The wind and sand are raging all year round, and the severe heat and cold weather are not suitable for the land. In the past three years, more than 300 people were sick and poisoned in the army of 10,000. They were stationed in those places and could not replace them, so they could only persist. The soldiers could not get merits and could not go home to farm and do business. It took at least half a year to pass on the letters. They would take more than a year to pass on their wives, children, old and young people at home, cattle and sheep at home, and the prosperity and tranquility of the Central Plains. As the main general, I cannot ignore this.

Let them have some fun as much as possible, but how can they be enjoyed without money? Your Majesty and the Chinese military officials in the court only know that the Western Army resells enamel equipment, but who has ever cared about us border soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Qin Dynasty. Even the Marquis of Jingwu criticized me. This time, he was humiliated in the Longxi Military Camp this time. In this world, the only one who cares about us, the reckless men, is probably the only one who cares about us. If he hadn't written to His Majesty to prepare enamels, compress military rations, and all kinds of potions and pills to distribute them to the Western Army, it would be a blessing that the 20,000 troops would be left with half of them..."

The more Li Xin said, his voice became deeper and deeper. His haggard cheeks twitched slightly, his beard and eyebrows were trembling, and his tiger eyes turned slightly red.

Yuan Kun remained silent for a long time after listening.

He was not a general who led troops to fight or a soldier guarding the border, and he had no idea of ​​the hardships. However, he knew his brother-in-law very well. He pacified the six kingdoms and participated in the battles of attacking Zhao, Chu, Yan and Qi. Although he was under the guise of his ancestors and was also covered in dust in the battle of attacking Chu, he was definitely a brave and resourceful general of the Qin Dynasty. Later, he made consecutive contributions to the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, and the Western Regions, which did not insult the noble status of the marquis.

Men don’t cry easily, and they don’t cry when they have any tears.

As a powerful general, Li Xin never had any such thing as crying.
