Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Meng Wu was not a good person who was good at speaking, but now he had too many concerns and was scolded by Bai Jinyue so much that he could not repay him. He dared not say that the First Emperor was still alive, nor did he dare to say that Zhao Ling wanted to kill them directly. Not to mention that Bai Jinyue is now in a state of righteousness and wants to sacrifice his life for justice, even if he says it, it will be useless. The imperial guard next to him could no longer bear to see Meng Wu's humiliation, so he knelt on one knee and asked Meng Wu for his order: "Elder General Meng, as long as you give orders, you are willing to kill this thief, Your Majesty will hold you accountable. Take it with all your strength!” Bai Jinyue sneered, stretched his neck and shouted loudly, "Come on! Just kill me! Old thief Mengwu, you give the order! I'm afraid this was arranged by Zhao Ling long ago?" Meng Wu had a headache. He couldn't figure out whether the imperial guards were unable to stand up to their respect for him or whether they wanted to kill Bai Jinyue or Zhao Ling had already made arrangements. "No one is allowed to touch them!" Meng Wu threw down a sentence, glared at Bai Jinyue fiercely, and walked into the hall. If it were normal, not to mention Bai Jinyue spitting out his face, even if he, Bai Qi, dared to have any disrespect in front of Meng Wu, Meng Wu would definitely go up and beat him to death. Meng Wu has already entered the hall, and Bai Jinyue can still be heard outside: "Old thief Meng Wu, you have ordered it! Aren't you Zhao Ling's dog?"

"If you don't kill me today, you won't deserve the surname Meng!" Meng Wu walked into the hall with a dark face, and Zhao Ling opened his mouth when he sat on the dragon throne in shock. Are the people from the Bai family so arrogant? Also, is Mr. Meng Wu having such a good temper? Don't this kill him? Meng Wu sat in his position without saying a word, thinking wildly in his mind about how to let Zhao Ling let go of the three major clans. Zhao Ling asked loudly, "Who is begging for death outside the hall?" The guard immediately entered the hall and replied, "Your Majesty, he is Bai Jinyue, the eldest son of the Bai family." "Oh." Zhao Ling pondered and waved his hand, "Pull it out, kill it." "Here!" The guard responded and wanted to go out to get the people. Meng Wu then woke up from his thoughts and quickly stood up: "Let's go! Your Majesty, Bai Jinyue is arrogant and arrogant at a young age. Please spare his life." Here comes! He finally came. Meng Wu did not expect that Zhao Ling would use him as the guide and he would start killing him. The eldest son of the Bai family? This identity is definitely respected in Qin State. As long as he has not committed a serious crime of treason, he will only curse him like this, even Ying Zheng will not be able to kill him easily. Zhao Ling waved his hand and the wind was calm. It seemed that the one who executed was not the eldest son of the Bai family, but a wild dog barking on the roadside that was upsetting people. Meng Wu moved, and the people from the military general stood up and advised him: "Your Majesty also asks you to spare Bai Jinyue's life."

The imperial guards in front of the hall stood there at a loss, waiting for Zhao Ling's next order. The imperial guards in the palace have been replaced by Wang Li's personal guards and the soldiers brought by Han Xin from Sanchuan County. They obeyed Zhao Ling's orders. Not to mention that Zhao Ling ordered him to kill the eldest son of the Bai family, even if he was asked to push Meng Wu down and behead him. He really dared to take action. Zhao Ling waved to the imperial guards and stared at Meng Wu meaningfully. He heard it right, Lao Meng called him His Majesty? Transformation so fast? Yesterday, he was a second young master, and he looked rebellious. Why do you call him Your Majesty now? Zhao Ling asked, "Elder General Meng, is the Bai family and you a life-saving grace, or is your two families marrying?" He was very curious. Meng Wu was scolded like this, and it would be fine if he didn't do anything to Bai Jinyue, but he still pleaded for him? Didn’t Meng Tian say that his temper is very hot and he would be a little tolerant when he sees him? They were scolded so much that they didn't even take action, and they were embarrassed to say they had a bad temper! Meng Wu replied, "The Bai family has no great kindness to me, and there is no marriage to me, but Bai Jinyue just spoke nonsense and scolded me a few words. Your Majesty does not need to be angry." "In addition, Meng Wu is willing to go to the death row for His Majesty to persuade the officials of the three tribes to stop opposing His Majesty's appointment as Zhang Liang's Left Chief, and advise them to open warehouses and release grain to help the hungry people." "Your Majesty also asks you to remember the great contributions made by the three tribes for the Qin Dynasty for hundreds of years, and spare Meng Weiran and others." Zhao Ling examined Meng Wu again. Did Meng Wu guess what he was going to do? This old man is not simple. With his persuasion, it seems to be pretty good. Meng Wu has already called him His Majesty. With Meng Wu's prestige and Meng Tian and Meng Yi's face, Zhao Ling rarely compromises. "Since the old general Meng said that, let the boy of the Bai family live and bring Xuan the eldest son of the three tribes of Meng Xibai into the palace." Zhao Ling smiled at Meng Wu, "Elder Meng, go to the death prison to persuade him." I won’t bother you about this matter. Just let them go later. Please sit down.” Meng Wu heard Zhao Ling say that he would let the young man go and persuade him, and then he was a little breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zhao Ling still planned to give the three major clans a chance. As long as Bai Weiran and the others walked down the steps given by Zhao Ling, they should be able to avoid the disaster of extermination. He is afraid that Bai Jinyue, the bastard, would not give Zhao Ling face and keep trying to die. After Meng Wu and a group of military generals sat down, Bai Jinyue and two other young men were taken to the hall. Feng Quji and Chunyu Yue both looked at Meng Wu with strange eyes. They also couldn't understand what happened? It was so that Meng Wu could stand on Zhao Ling's side overnight. He also wanted to help Zhao Ling persuade Bai Weiran and others to agree to Zhang Liang's entry into the court as prime minister. How could he tolerate it? Not only that, he also advised the three major clans to open granaries to help the victims? Was Zhao Lingxu bought it for heavy profits, or did he retreat to advance? Do you want to wait until Fusu enters Xianyang before counterattacking? The civil officials in the court had an unpredictable expression on their faces. Meng Wu surrendered to Zhao Ling, which made them all mess up. Feng Quji closed his eyes and laughed in his heart. Even if Meng Wu surrendered to Zhao Ling, the three major clans still could not easily compromise. They may temporarily compromise and let Zhang Liang be the prime minister, but it is absolutely impossible to let them open their warehouses and release grain!

Even if the First Emperor is alive and gives orders to open warehouses and release grain, they can only say that there is no grain! Is it possible that Meng Wu just wanted to delay time and save Meng Weiran and the others first, just talk about opening a warehouse and releasing grain, and also putting some grain in it... Feng Quji, Chunyu Yue and others thought about various possibilities in their minds and tried hard to analyze the current situation. After Bai Jinyue went to court, he didn't polite when he saw Zhao Ling. He pointed at Zhao Ling and shouted, "Zhao Ling, you will let my father go now! No! You need to personally welcome me and my father out of the death prison, otherwise You just..." Before Zhao Ling could speak, Meng Wu suddenly stood up, rushed to Bai Jinyue, kicked him away, and hit him hard on the stone pillar of the hall: "Shut! Shut up! Dare to disrespect Your Majesty! Come on People, if you drag on, you will be responsible for thirty years!”
