The rise of Tianzhu of Daqin

Chapter 13 Well, I have a lot of food
When Yingxuan left the Royal Chamber of Commerce and just returned to the Shadow Secret Guardhouse, an eunuch rushed over, seeming to have encountered some urgent matter.

"Master Hou, Your Majesty invites you to the Palace of the King of Qin. Is there something important to tell you?"

Ying Xuan didn't even need to think about it, it must be about the cold disaster, Ying Xuan didn't talk too much, and simply ordered the Shadow Secret Guards and the Forbidden Army to strengthen the defense of the Qin Palace, in order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the opportunity to assassinate Ying Zheng.

Although this is a natural disaster, some people will always blame Ying Zheng for their mistakes without knowing how to praise them, and they will assassinate Ying Zheng in desperation. This kind of thing is not surprising to Ying Xuan.

Of course Yingxuan believed that no one in this world could assassinate Yingzheng, but it was obviously not a wise decision to add obstacles to Yingzheng at this time.

When Ying Xuan arrived at the Palace of King Qin, there were already many people waiting there, obviously Ying Zheng was not the only one who summoned him.

Yingxuan was titled Chang Gewuhou, holding the imperial army in his hands, guarding Yingzheng, except for the old general who had the palace of destroying the country, Yingxuan can be said to be the most powerful general in Qin State, and this is something that even Neishi Mengtian can't compare with him .

The Palace of the King of Qin was quiet, only a few of Ying Zheng's confidant ministers were discussing something in a low voice. The obedient appearance of the others made Ying Xuan a little annoyed. Su came into contact with Confucian scholars.

Seeing the left prime minister Li Si and the right prime minister Feng Quji, Ying Xuan nodded his head as a greeting, then stood calmly in front of Meng Tian, ​​closed his eyes and rested his mind, looking very calm and out of tune with the other people in the hall.

Li Si and Feng Quji looked at Ying Xuan standing on the right, with unnatural expressions on their faces.

Since ancient times, civil and martial arts have been neglected, and Qin State advocates force. In addition, the right side of Qin State is more respected than the left, so it is only natural for Yingxuan to stand on the right side.

Although he has the title of Marquis Wu, in fact Yingxuan has no military merits. When he was born, the Qin State had already unified the world.Yingxuan, Qin's southern conquest of Baiyue, also did not participate in anything.

On the contrary, Yingxuan is more like a civil servant. He is the only person in Qin who can fulfill the duties of a royal doctor. He can change Yingzheng's thoughts and even refute Yingzheng in public. Therefore, he is considered by civil servants as his own, and general I also sighed at his strength of character and regarded him as a warrior.

In the past, Ying Xuan never expressed his attitude, and he was a little ambiguous. He would support the proposal of Li Si and others, and he would also speak well of Ying Zhengwei, Meng Tian and others.So he is more like a mediator between civil servants and generals, balancing the balance of power between civil and military.

Now that Yingxuan has changed his normal routine, he obviously appeared in the Palace of King Qin as the No.

One Meng Tian was enough to make them feel uncomfortable, and now adding Ying Xuan, it is estimated that it will be difficult every step of the way in the future.

Meng Tian seemed a little happy. Among the high-level officials in the Qin State, most of the people who could speak were from the group of civil servants. They only had him, Shaofu Zhang Han, and the great general Wang Li. Naturally, Ying Xuan couldn't be better.
With the appearance of Ying Xuan, there was no voice of discussion in the hall.

There are probably dozens of Wenchen people standing quietly on the right, headed by the right prime minister Feng Quji, but everyone knows that the core of the Wenchen group is the left prime minister Li Si.

In comparison, the generals group is a bit bitter. There are only four people, Ying Xuan, Meng Tian, ​​Zhang Han, and Wang Li, and they are all young people.

After a while, Ying Zheng appeared on the throne, still wearing a black dragon robe, his face covered by the jewels on the crown was neither sad nor happy, making it hard to see his real expression, he just sat there, It makes people feel involuntarily short.

As expected of an emperor through the ages, this kind of domineering is innate, and no one else can learn it no matter what.

"I refer to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is ten thousand years old, and Great Qin is ten thousand years old."

"Let's all get flat!" Ying Zheng said indifferently, as if he was not eating fireworks, and his bearing was extraordinary.

"About this cold disaster, you may wish to share your views, I want to hear it too."

As soon as Ying Zheng opened his mouth, he got straight to the point. He is not a person who likes to talk nonsense, and he doesn't like to hide it. He has always been so vigorous and decisive.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally focused their eyes on Ying Xuan, but Ying Xuan still closed his eyes and meditated, a bit like he had nothing to do with himself.

"As expected of a celebrity in front of His Majesty, such a posture at this time, the last person with such a posture is Lu Buwei, and the grass on the grave is not sure how long it is."

Seeing Yingxuan's attitude, everyone understood that Yingxuan didn't intend to be the leader. Since the leader of the military generals did not show up, it was the turn of the leader of civil servants to step up.

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable. The most urgent task is to provide disaster relief and stabilize the hearts of the people. However, the imperial court has just started to conquer South Vietnam, and most of the food stored in the treasury is used as military rations."

Li Si said calmly: "In this case, we can only ask the aristocratic family to donate food to help the victims."

As Li Si spoke, he glanced at Ying Xuan. This Lord Hou collected a lot of food some time ago, and even offended Mrs. Ba Qing. It would be good if he could get some, but he couldn't say that clearly.

"How long will it take?" Ying Zheng asked.

"The scope of the cold disaster is too wide. I'm afraid we won't be able to raise enough food in a short time," Li Si said.

"It's ridiculous. The aristocratic family has already started to drive up prices in order to make money. How could they give the grain to Qin? Even if it is a donation, the amount is probably limited."

Meng Tian rejected Li Si's proposal without waiting for Ying Zheng to speak.

"Then the only option is to suspend the war in South Vietnam and take out food to help the victims." Xianyang Ling said coldly.

"Presumptuous, military and national affairs, how can it be trifling? The Baiyue War has made some progress. If you stop the offensive at this time, all the efforts you have made before will be in vain."

General Wang Li was dressed in white armor, seven feet tall, and looked very heroic.The royal family has been generals for generations and two generations of princes, so there is no reason to return the land that has been struck down.

"Then General Wang Li, you have an idea!" Feng Quji spread his hands and threw the hot potato to Wang Li.

"Marching and fighting are our business, government affairs at court seem to be your business!" Wang Li perfectly blamed Feng Quji, making Meng Tian give a thumbs up involuntarily.

The court immediately exploded, and a quarrel broke out in front of Ying Zheng. The generals insisted that they were not good at this kind of thing, and the civil servants said that it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"Su Jing, this is the court hall, the Palace of the King of Qin, and you are not allowed to be presumptuous."

As soon as Ying Zheng spoke, the quarrel stopped immediately, and everyone returned to their seats with red faces.

"Yingxuan, don't you want to say something? Not long ago, you were an empty-handed wolf who borrowed 800 million shi of grain from Baqing."

"Well, yes, I have a lot of food!"

Everyone knew that Yingxuan had food in his hand, but no one dared to put his hand into Yingxuan's pocket.

For the sake of food, Yingxuan mortgaged all his fiefdoms, in other words, he put all the glory and wealth of future generations on the gambling table. They didn't know why Yingxuan wanted so much food, but they knew that they just had to say If Yingxuan has food, it must be a feud.

But what Yingzheng said is different. Donating 800 million shi of grain at this time is definitely a credit to Sheji.If the food was in their hands, they would have donated it a long time ago. What is a fief, even if it is gone, Ying Zheng will give a bigger and better fief.

But Yingxuan's short answer not only dumbfounded the ministers of the Qin State, but also Yingzheng. I have already talked about this, so don't you have anything to say?
Although it is clear that Yingxuan is not a greedy person, nor is he a person who will use food for profit at this time.

These grains must be useful for Yingxuan, but Yingxuan's answer obviously did not satisfy Yingzheng.
