After Hua Tuo was diagnosed repeatedly, he received such news. Qin Tian was inexplicably calm, surprisingly without any joy. He took Jia Xu, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu to summon Zhuge Mou back to the capital Lingling County two days ago. Qin Tian and others gathered in the small courtyard behind Lingyun Tower. After drinking for three rounds, Qin Tian glanced at Jia Xu and said to Zhuge Mou, who looked a little happy: "Xia Xi is pregnant with an heir. It's such a big happy event. I wonder how Mr. Xia is doing?" Zhuge Mou He nodded and said in a clear voice: "Mr. Okay. I heard that when the Xiang Kingdom was destroyed, there were still many scholars who had not left" When Qin Tian said this, his eyes were fixed on Zhuge Mou's expression. Zhuge Mou's face changed slightly, and then he shook his head in confusion and said, "I heard it from hearsay, but I really can't believe it. I was the military advisor of Xiang State at the time, and I didn't hear about it." Qin Tian's eyes flashed with cold light, and then He regained his composure and said, "Well, it's possible that Xia Chao and Xia Lin were at odds with each other at the beginning, so these scholars were not under the control of Xia Chao." Zhuge Mou was about to say something, but Qin Tian interrupted him lightly. Said: "You go back and help me ask. As long as I try my best, I will fulfill the original agreement. Otherwise, the scholars accumulated over decades of running Xiangguo will really make people sleepless and sleepless." Zhuge Mou is no longer there at this moment. Without thinking about eating for a while, he smiled at Qin Tian and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll rush back and ask." "I heard that Xia Lin adopted fourteen godsons who were all quite strong. Before leaving, he asked Xun Yu Bring five hundred taels of gold horseshoes over there to supplement some nutrition," Qin Tian said nonchalantly. Zhuge Mou looked calm, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Qin Tian's words, nodded, and then left the small courtyard and Lingyun Tower in a hurry. "Your Majesty, the people who attacked have spread to the Central Plains, Yangzhou and other places. The whereabouts of those scholars have not been found. It seems that Xia Lin is determined to be evil." Jia Xu said surreptitiously. Qin Tian waved his hand and said a little tiredly: "Keep an eye on it." Then he took Dian Wei and others back to the palace. After Qin Tian returned to the harem, he came to the edge of Xia Xi's bed, lifted a piece of black hair from Xia Xi's forehead, pushed her away, and looked at Xia Xi's sleeping face quietly. "Alas!" Qin Tian sighed faintly and left Xia Xi's bedside. He didn't notice that Xia Xi's bare hands were placed across her heart and she was tightly grasping the quilt. Qin Tian went to the palace where Da Qiao and others lived. After calming their emotions, they went to the Imperial Study Room to take a look at the latest information and some recent situations in Zhen Kingdom. Suddenly, my fingertips stopped on a letter of invitation. Yun Yi and Xu Zhi acted abnormally. Qin Tian thought about it thoughtfully. On August 1st, after Qin Tian went to court. Zhuge Mou asked to see him. Soon Qin Tian met Zhuge Mou, and was soon disturbed by Zhuge Mou's nonsense. "I have asked Mr. Xia for sure, and he said that all the scholars had been dismissed that day. As for these adopted sons, Mr. Xia said that one of them was a righteous son, and the rest were all beggars. He took them in kindly and returned them. I hope you can learn from this." Zhuge Mou said in a calm tone. Qin Tianhan asked in a cold voice: "No discussion?" Zhuge Mou handed over his hand and said seriously: "But there is no such thing. Your Majesty knows it for sure." Qin Tian squinted his eyes and said: "Someone, put Xia Xi into the cold palace and keep the fetus in her belly. Kill him too! Order all the adopted sons and Xia Lin to be taken to the execution ground of Lingling County to be beheaded. I don¡¯t believe that if these people don¡¯t show any clues, I can catch them all in one fell swoop.¡± A change: "Your Majesty, the fetus in Mei Xia's belly is your heir." Qin Tian sneered: "I will not let my hard work make a wedding dress for others, let alone Xia Chao can come back after his death! You are now Tell me, Xiangguo has been running an alliance every three years for decades, and now you tell me that these scholars have been dismissed? Then Xia Lin also said that the dozen or so people she adopted were all generals and strong men, but they were beggars. ! Do you think I'm a fool? Or do you think I'm blind or deaf?" Qin Tian looked excited and stood up. He angrily rebuked Zhuge Mou. Zhuge Mou remained silent for a long time, insisting that the scholars had dispersed and let Qin Tian learn from it. Qin Tian laughed angrily and sat down. Looking at Zhuge Mou, he sneered and said, "You think I can't kill people?" Zhuge Mou looked at Qin Tian, ??who was full of murderous intent. Suddenly, he sighed and told the hiding place of those scholars, looking very decadent. . Hidden behind the screens on both sides are Jia Xu and Xun Xi?, Dian Wei came out one after another, Xun Yu immediately ordered to search and said to Qin Tian: "Your Majesty, what should we do with these scholars?" Qin Tian made a "cut" motion and said expressionlessly : "Find out as soon as possible and confirm how many of them there are in total. Don't let any of them escape." At this moment, in a hidden valley, many scholars were reciting the Reader's Scripture, unaware of the murderous intention. ¡ After confirming the number of people, Xu Chu and Dian Wei were ordered to lead their troops in a bloodbath without mercy. Qin Tian changed his previous attitude of being eager for talents, and severely tortured these scholars. After confirming that no one was missing, he secretly killed them all. The ghost of Xia Dynasty is still lingering, and there are such forces under Jiuquan. Xia Lin takes the greatest credit, and Qin Tian did not hesitate to order Xia Lin to be placed under house arrest in Lingling County in order to fish out more potential forces. During this period, many rebel armies appeared successively in the northern part of Zhen State and the central part of Jiaozhou, and slogans such as "Zhen Gong is cruel and immoral" and "Liberate Xiang State" were raised. Chen Qingzhi, Zhong Zhong, Zhao Kuo and other generals destroyed the rebels in various places. Fortunately, most of these rebel forces came from the support of some noble families and had not yet formed a too large force. The largest troop had only more than 2,000 people. There were 11 teams in total, with a total strength of only more than 4,000 people. , destroyed with troops. In the middle of the night, Qin Tian got the news that Xia Lin swallowed gold and died in the middle of the night. In March of the following year, Xia Xi gave birth to a daughter, and Duke Zhen named her Qin Xin. King Xiang Ba of Wu sent congratulatory gifts, some Yangzhou specialties, in addition to some rare animals, four red-crowned cranes were one of them, and there was no shortage of other rare treasures. Qin Tian seemed to be relieved after seeing that it was not his son, and he loved Qin Xin extra much. When he saw Qin Xin looking at the red-crowned crane with "yeah" and looking a little excited, Qin Tian rubbed her little nose. But there will always be people who are unhappy. Since Xia Lin's death, Xia Xi's mood has been a little depressed. After getting her daughter, her health has become worse, and she is somewhat depressed and autistic. Qin Tian knew very well that Xia Xi hated Qin Tian and her own daughter. The Qin State on the other side gained a foothold with the large amount of food and grass provided by the Mi Chamber of Commerce. In the winter last year, it defeated the plundering of the Xiongnu, Di tribe and other foreign tribes, and then entered a war of attrition, dragging down tens of thousands of rented troops. They stopped their pace and took advantage of the low morale of the foreigners to win the final victory. After the victory, Yinghe was so heroic that he waved his sleeves and ordered a counterattack against the royal courts of the Xiongnu, Di, Qiang and other foreign tribes. He won a complete victory, no matter the cattle, horses or sheep. In March of this year, Qin Tian sent an order, and the Mi family stopped the food supply and returned to the country, leaving only the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce and began to eat into the profits made by Qin after this victory. However, after last year¡¯s massive purchases and the bumper harvest of cattle and sheep, Qin did not have much demand for food, so it still maintained the same situation. Qin Tian is not in a hurry. After Zhenguo cultivated his troops and horses, Zheng He also sent several ships to begin to explore the intelligence of the Japanese island and prepare for the next plan. (To be continued.
