Da Qin: I, who was bound to Qin Shihuang, took off

Chapter 158 Ying Zheng returns!

"lady."

"The eldest son has many supporters in the court, many more than the young master's supporters."

"If Mr. Zhao no longer supports the young master, it will definitely be a great loss to the young master." The eunuch said with a worried look.

Madam Hu had a solemn look on her face, she naturally knew this.

"Haier must not lose Zhao Gao's support."

"You find a way to contact him again and ask him to come to the palace to see me. You tell him that as long as he supports Hai'er, I will agree to him no matter what the conditions are." Hu said again.

……

The eldest son's mansion.

Among all the gentlemen.

Now the only one who left the palace and opened a mansion, Fusu is now 13 years old.

In the main hall of the mansion.

Fusu was dressed in a white young master's uniform, looking gentle and elegant, with a pleasing temperament.

In front of him, there sat an old man and a middle-aged man. One was the prime minister of the dynasty, a truly powerful figure, and the other was Fusu's teacher, Chunyu Yue.

"The eldest son is now deeply studying Confucianism. He will definitely be a righteous king in the future." Wang Wan stroked his beard and smiled and said to Fusu.

"Your Majesty Wang has given you too much praise. Fusu has only just glimpsed the entrance hall now, and he still needs to continue learning." Fusu replied politely.

"Eh."

"Young master, there is no need to be too modest about this. Your talents are definitely the most outstanding among all the young masters. With your deep understanding of Confucianism, you will be able to be benevolent and virtuous when the Qin Dynasty is unified and you are named the prince." Rule the world." Chunyu Yue said very proudly.

Now he is the eldest son's teacher, but he looks forward to joining the prince's teacher and the future king's teacher.

"Father's thoughts are unpredictable, and the future is uncertain." Fusu said still very calmly, and did not show any enthusiasm for the position of the prince.

perhaps.

This is also because of his character.

"Young master, this idea is wrong."

"As the eldest son, the young master has a distinguished status and is the first heir to the throne of the prince. This is far inferior to other young masters."

"Moreover, which young master is so outstanding?"

"The king has seen all this." Wang Wan said firmly.

Since Fusu was born, the Wang family has directly bet on Fusu. If Fusu doesn't fight, how can the Wang family prosper?
In this context, even if he does not fight for Fusu, Fusu's supporters will push him to fight.

Because this is not just the interest of Fusu as a person, but the interests of all his supporters.

"I heard that the State of Zhao is dead. All three generals of the State of Zhao died at the hands of a general named Qin Qi?"

"Is this true or false?" Fusu looked at Wang Wan and asked.

"It's true." Wang Wan nodded, and then said with emotion: "This boy is not yet 19 years old and has been in the army for less than five years, but he has achieved military exploits that countless generals can only dream of."

"Veteran, I have received the news that Qin Qi has been appointed as the captain of the army by the king and commanded a large battalion."

Hear this.

A strange color flashed across Fusu's eyes: "The captain of the guard? The grand master?"

"I think Mr. Wu An can't compare to him in the past."

The words fell.

Wang Wan nodded: "Veteran, I have been in the court for many years. This boy's talent is far greater than that of Bai Qi. Moreover, compared to Bai Qi, this boy knows better about advancing and retreating, and he knows how to lie dormant. He is not as sharp as he is exposed."

"Son."

"For this kind of people, what you have to do is not to win over or offend them."

"Otherwise, you are creating a formidable enemy."

"The king's power is still afraid of the powerful Grand Master. This is not something that ordinary ministers can measure."

Fusu nodded seriously.

Reached the Grand Master!The power he possesses is extremely terrifying. Even if he is surrounded by a hundred thousand troops, it is impossible to kill him. If this great master escapes, the consequences will be disastrous.

And then.

No country can be too kind to a great master who governs the country, and the royal power treats him with courtesy.

After all, a grand master is different from an ordinary minister.

Once you become a Grand Master, your status completely changes.

"Prince Wang."

"I wonder if Qin Qi can win him over to the eldest son?"

"There are not a few courtiers in the court who support the eldest son."

"The clan, the Mi family behind the young master's mother, and many old nobles all support the young master, but none of the generals above the level of the general support the young master."

"If we can win over Qin Qi to support the eldest son, then others will no longer be able to compete with him." Chunyu Yue said with some expectation.

"What do you think, Prime Minister Wang?" Fusu looked at Wang Wan.

"I won't hide anything from you, sir."

"I have already gone to fight for the young master."

"Speak up."

"The old minister's useless second son still has some misunderstandings with Qin Qi. This time, the old minister has sent people to Zhao Di with generous gifts. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, he can also extend an olive branch to the eldest son." Wang Wan said.

"Misunderstanding?" Fusu was a little confused.

"Alas, this matter is purely a misunderstanding."

"The whole reason is because of the Ba family, so it's not worth mentioning." Wang Wan shook her head helplessly.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, it's okay."

"And as the king's prime minister, he personally sent someone to apologize. I believe Qin Qi will understand." Chunyu Yue said with a smile.

"I hope so." Wang Wan nodded, still a little worried on his face.

What his second son did was too reckless.

He rushed into the village with his escort, intending to rob it by force.

If this matter were dealt with by ordinary people and ordinary dignitaries, it would naturally be a trivial matter. However, if it was placed on Qin Qi, the new guard captain of the Great Qin Dynasty who has made great achievements in battle, it would naturally be a big mistake.

"Report."

"Report to Prime Minister."

"The king has returned to the palace."

"Now summon the courtiers to the Qin Palace to discuss matters."

A follower from Xiangbang Mansion quickly came outside the palace and respectfully reported.

"It seems that Zhao Guo's affairs are completely settled."

"Master, Lord Chun."

"Go to court."

"The king definitely has something to announce this time." Wang Wan slowly stood up and said to Fusu and Chun Yuyue.

Soon.

The Palace of Prince Qin, which had not held a court meeting for many days, became lively.

"The ministers are waiting to see the king."

"May the great Qin live forever, and the great king live forever."

Civil and military officials from all over the dynasty gathered together, all holding imperial huts in their hands, and bowed to Ying Zheng in the high position.

"Flat body."

Ying Zheng glanced at it and waved his hand.

him today.

He was not wearing a royal robe, but an ordinary royal uniform. However, he held a court meeting upon his return, which shows that there was indeed something important to announce.

"Thank you king."

The ministers shouted in unison, and then they lined up in civil and military ranks and looked at Ying Zheng respectfully.

"Zhao is dead."

"You must have heard the news." Ying Zheng smiled slightly and spoke slowly.

"The Kingdom of Zhao was destroyed by our great Qin. I congratulate your Majesty." The whole court cheered in unison.

"It took less than two years to destroy Zhao this time."

"Zhao, which used to compete with our great Qin, no longer exists."

"The King of Zhao surrendered to Gu in Handan City. All three generals of Zhao State disappeared and were killed by Qin Qi."

"I have decreed that Qin Qi be the captain of the army, and he has been given the opportunity to build the Qin family's camp and lead an army of 30 to guard Zhao."

"Do you have any objections, sir?" Ying Zheng said with authority as he glanced around the court.This is naturally a declaration from King Qin, not an inquiry.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Manchao shouted in unison again.

Now that the edict has been decided, if anyone has any objection, it means that he has objection to King Qin. No one would be that stupid.

"Prime Minister." Ying Zheng said with authority.

"Old minister is here." Wang Wan immediately stood up and looked at Ying Zheng doubtfully.

"An edict."

"Tell the world the news of Zhao's death, inspire the hearts of our Qin people, and frighten all the countries in the world."

"Also, let me tell the world about my military exploits, Qin Qi, the new guard commander of the Great Qin Dynasty."

"I want everyone in the world to know that we in Great Qin have another top-notch Grandmaster who will rule the country." Ying Zheng said with a domineering tone.

Wang Wan immediately received the edict: "Old minister, accept the edict."

No matter which country.

As long as the captain of the guard army is ennobled, it will definitely be announced to the whole country, because this is a demonstration of martial virtue in this chaotic era, and the appearance of a great master who governs the country is a shot in the arm.

"I have been alone in Xianyang for many days."

"What do you want to say, gentlemen?"

Ying Zheng asked as he glanced at the court.

This time, the ministers were summoned not only to declare the martial virtues of Qin Dynasty to destroy Zhao, but also to summon the ministers to report.

"Enlightenment King."

"The war has been decided, and the king still needs to issue an edict regarding the pension." Feng Jie stood up and started playing loudly.

"As for the pension matter, we will continue to handle it as soon as possible."

"The Prime Minister's Office, the Young Master's Office, the Military Merit Office, and the local government offices all work together." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"I accept the edict." Feng Jie respectfully stepped back.

"Enlightenment King."

"This time to destroy Zhao, our Daqin has consumed [-]% of the grain reserves in the grain depot. No more troops can be mobilized in a short period of time. Moreover, there are at least millions of refugees in the initially designated Zhao area who are starved of food due to the war. This matter needs to be treated with caution. .”

"If the people of Zhao are still the same as before, I, the Qin Dynasty, will not need to take care of them. But now they are the people of my country, the Qin Dynasty. If I just watch them die, it will go against the grace and dignity of the Qin Dynasty." Feng Quji stood up and started to speak.

He returned from Zhao Di, so he naturally saw the situation in Zhao Di.

"Feng Qing is right."

"Zhao no longer exists. Zhao has returned to our great Qin. There are no more Zhao people in the world, only our great Qin's people."

"Many people in Zhao area suffered from the war, numbering more than one million."

"That's it, Feng Qing."

"I will allocate another half of the grain and grass from the Great Qin Granary. In addition to military supplies, the other half will be used to help the refugees in Zhao. You allocate the grain and grass and let Han Fei and Qin Qi handle it." Ying Zheng thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty."

"The grain and grass in the granary are all that our Great Qin has. Winter will come in two months. If we use grain and grass for relief, our Great Qin may be in danger of food shortage." Wang Wan immediately stood up and said.

This is not because he is ruthless, but because as Prime Minister, he has to decide according to the situation.

"Has the grain and grass from the autumn harvest not been put into storage yet?" Ying Zheng frowned.

"Your Majesty."

"You went on patrol to the Zhao region, and I only received information about the grain collection situation in Guanzhong a few days ago."

"This year our Great Qin Guanzhong land is short of water and drought, and this year's harvest is nearly double that of previous years." Wang Wan frowned.

"Where is Shu?" Ying Zheng asked immediately.

"Sichuan has not been affected, but the specific harvest areas are still being calculated and have not been reported." Wang Wan immediately replied.

heard.

Ying Zheng also nodded solemnly: "Leaving half of the grain depot is enough to cope with it. As for the harvest in Shu, I believe I will not let you down. After the harvest is harvested, my Daqin's taxes will also be collected at the end of the year." , it’s enough for use, and Xiangbang doesn’t need to be too cautious.”

"But your Majesty..." Wang Wan was still a little worried.

"All right."

"Just follow what Gu said. The more than 100 million refugees in Zhao are all our subjects of Great Qin. It is impossible for Gu to just watch them starve to death." Ying Zheng raised his hand and directly stopped Wang Wan from continuing to speak.

"Your Majesty."

"Winter is coming. In addition to food and grass, cotton wool and cotton clothes are needed to comfort the people. Otherwise, the cold winter is coming, and many of the refugees will freeze to death in the cold winter." Feng Jie said loudly.

"Mi Qi."

Ying Zheng looked at a middle-aged minister in the main hall.

"I'm here." Mi Qi stood up immediately.

"You are in charge of military supplies dispatch. Do you still have enough cotton clothes? Do you still have enough coal?" Ying Zheng asked directly.

"Back to the king."

"After stripping away the military's necessities, there is still a portion that can be allocated." Mi Qi respectfully replied.

"Except for what is needed by the army, all the rest will be transferred to Zhao."

"With the current national strength of our Great Qin, it is impossible to save all the refugees. Let's do our best to obey fate." Ying Zheng sighed.

"That's what war is."

"Your Majesty, Shengde, has been kind and generous to the refugees in Zhao. As for how long they can survive, it all depends on God's grace."

"And as long as they survive this winter, those refugees can return to normal." Li Si said aloud.

"Two Feng Qings."

“Relieving the refugees is important, but resettlement is also important.”

"Han Fei and Yao Jia are not enough. You two will select some officials to go to Zhao to be responsible for resettling the refugees."

"This matter."

"Be sure to take it seriously." Ying Zheng said seriously.

"The minister leads the edict."

Feng Quji, Feng Jie responded immediately.

……

The meeting is going on.

For Da Qin, this court meeting was the first since the destruction of Zhao, so it was naturally very important.

And this time the court meeting also lasted for a long time.

Back to Zhangtai Palace.

Zhao Gao bowed and served Ying Zheng.

"Having been alone for these days, nothing happened in the palace, right?" Ying Zheng asked very calmly.

"It's calm in the palace, nothing happened." Zhao Gao bowed and replied.

"You did a good job." Ying Zheng praised.

"It's your duty as a slave." Zhao Gao replied respectfully.

Subsequently.

The main hall of Zhangtai Palace became silent.

Ying Zheng turned his head and looked deeply at Zhao Gao, with a thousand words in his eyes, but in the end he did not say it out.

"Your Majesty."

"I have a request for you. I hope your Majesty will agree to it." Zhao Gao suddenly knelt down.

"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng asked directly.

"This slave is just a eunuch and is incapable of teaching the Eighteenth Young Master. Please ask the king to find another teacher for the Eighteenth Young Master." Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and said in a low voice.

Hear this.

A strange color flashed across Ying Zheng's face.

"Don't you always like Hu Hai the most?"

"You have always admired him so much, why are you resigning now?" Ying Zheng asked calmly.

"Your Majesty."

"After all, this slave is a disabled person and is not worthy to be the teacher of the Eighteenth Young Master." Zhao Gao said with his head lowered.

Hear this.

Ying Zheng sighed and shook his head: "You know, deep down in Gu's heart, you are not a disabled person."
