My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 780 Is this the Great Qin or the Great Song? My dear ministers, you have a deep misunderstanding of my brother!

June 18th, the 14th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang.

Xianyang City, Imperial Study Room.

Wei Liao slammed the table and said without letting anyone refuse: "These thirty-two assistant ministers are decided by me!"

Although Feng Quji was of a lower rank, he refuted firmly at this moment: "Just because the national commander said it's going to be decided, it's going to be decided?"

"It is not the captain's turn to intervene in the transfer of the assistant minister!"

"My doctor's office has been repeatedly reduced in staff, and now there are only about 600 people left, which is not enough to complete daily work."

"The Imperial Guard is still going to draw manpower from my Office of the Imperial Doctor? How can my Office of the Imperial Doctor help the King in handling government affairs?"

Wei Liao said in a broken voice: "It is indeed necessary to assist the king in handling government affairs."

"But controlling the newly acquired land is even more important!"

"Chang'an Jun's troops are now heading north from Neihuang City. Our Great Qin must at least ensure that all cities from Neihuang City to the front line are under the control of our Great Qin."

"Once a city gets out of control, Chang'an Jun's troops will likely be trapped north of Neihuang. Not only will their supplies be cut off, but they will also be unable to advance or retreat!"

"I also ask the Imperial Doctor to consider the safety of our army and allow these thirty-two assistant ministers to serve as county magistrates and guard the cities!"

Wei Liao explained the pros and cons, but Feng Quji remained firm: "Impossible!"

"Now, everyone in my office has to work at least eight hours a day. Many assistant ministers cannot even go home. They stay overnight in the office and go to handle government affairs as soon as they wake up."

"Even so, my doctor's office has been slow in handling government affairs."

"I know that controlling these thirty-two cities is extremely important, but my office is really powerless. I ask the captain to look for talents elsewhere!"

Ying Chengjiao only needs to win battles one after another on the front line, kill the enemy and destroy the country.

The officials in the court have a lot to consider!
The transportation of grain and grass needs to be supervised by officials, the newly annexed cities need to be controlled by officials, the grain fields obtained by the front-line soldiers after being promoted need to be distributed by officials, and the rebellious forces that emerged due to the war between Qin and China need officials to lead troops to suppress them...

Ying Chengjiao was advancing rapidly in the front, and the government affairs that needed to be handled in the rear were increasing.

The average daily working hours of each government office increased directly from four hours to eight hours!

The officials in the Qin Dynasty had long forgotten what home looked like. The first thing they saw when they opened their eyes every day was government affairs, and the last thing they saw before they closed their eyes was still government affairs.

Even so, the Qin court was still unable to cope with the increasingly heavy government affairs, and there was no way to squeeze out more officials to control the newly annexed territories!
Even if the officials in the court scratched their heads, they still didn't know how to deal with the current situation!
In the imperial study, the dukes and ministers who stood at the pinnacle of power in the Qin Dynasty were arguing and arguing incessantly, and there was even a tendency for the argument to turn into a fight.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was premeditated, all the Qin court officials stopped arguing and turned their eyes to Ying Zheng!
Wei Liao cried out in a sad voice: "My King!"

Ying Zheng interrupted the spell with an expressionless face: "I have already sent eight groups of messengers to Chang'an Jun's army."

"I'm sure you know my intention to ask Lord Chang'an to withdraw his troops."

"Of course!"

"War is no joke, and it is not something that can be ended just because the Qin Empire wants to."

"Just as Lord Chang'an said before, if our army retreats but the Yan army does not, does that mean that the Great Qin will hand over all of General Meng Wu's troops to the Yan army to be slaughtered?"

"Since Lord Chang'an has been delaying the end of this battle, he must have his reasons!"

Wei Liao sighed in his heart.

How could Chang'an Jun not have his own reasons?
Even if Chang'an Jun is unreasonable, the king will make up a reason for him!
Wang Wan also stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I beg Your Majesty to send another messenger to Lord Chang'an's army to inform Lord Chang'an clearly."

"My Great Qin's grain and grass can still support Chang'an Jun to continue his conquest."

"But I beg you, Lord Chang'an, not to attack the city again!"

"Even the current territory has far exceeded the limits of what the Great Qin can control."

"Changan Jun really can't expand his territory anymore!"

The court officials all bowed their hands in exhaustion and determination, saying, "I second the motion!"

For hundreds of years, people all over the world have regarded Qin as a country of tigers and wolves.

In the eyes of other countries, all the court officials of the Qin Dynasty were active advocates of war, and all of them dreamed of expanding their territory.

But today, a group of vile and ruthless ministers who are actively advocating for war are trying their best to pull back the runaway coach!
We clearly ask you not to expand your territory anymore!
If a time traveler came to the imperial study today, he probably would not think that this was the Qin Dynasty, but would mistakenly believe that he had come to the Song Dynasty!

Ying Zheng sighed inwardly and nodded slightly: "What you see, my dear ministers, is also what I see."

"I have already told Lord Chang'an clearly that he must remember the mission of this battle, do his best to seek peace, and do not expand the border!"

"I think there is no need to send out messengers for this matter, so as not to put too much pressure on Lord Chang'an."

However, the ministers did not seem to be at ease at all.

Will Chang'an Jun listen to you, Your Majesty?

really?
I do not believe!
Wei Zhuang also stepped forward, intending to make a suggestion.

However, before Wei Zhuang could speak, a familiar voice was heard from outside the imperial study.

"Urgent report of the military situation of Lord Chang'an!" All the ministers looked towards the door, and Ying Zheng immediately ordered: "Send it!"

Facing the gazes of the Qin emperor and his ministers, the door of the imperial study opened, and Danfu once again floated into the imperial study with the support of two assistant ministers.

He broke away from the minister and knelt on the ground. He took out the bamboo tube from his arms and shouted proudly: "Your Majesty! Our troops have won a great victory!"

Ying Zheng laughed heartily: "Present!"

It’s a pity that the happiness is Ying Zheng alone, but the sadness is shared by all the Qin officials!
Wei Liao:╬д╬
"Captain! Captain, what's wrong with you?!"

"Order of the Imperial Physician! Come and treat the National Commandant immediately!"

"Hurry up and support Xiangbang!"

As soon as Ying Zheng smiled, he heard the voices of his subjects.

Looking down, Ying Zheng was shocked to find that Wei Zhuang was slumped on the couch, Wang Wan was leaning back, and Wei Liao had fainted on the ground!
There were a total of twelve people, three dukes and nine ministers, and five of them were in varying degrees of coma!

Ying Zheng shouted in shock: "Send all the doctors here immediately!"

"Send the order to Yongxiang! Send the order to Beigong eunuch! Gather the guards to defend the imperial study, and mobilize 800 eunuchs to immediately surround the Shangshi order, mobilize..."

"My dear ministers, are you all right?!"

Seeing the three dukes and two ministers of the Qin Dynasty falling to the ground in unison, Ying Zheng's first reaction was that someone had poisoned the Qin emperor and his ministers!

After promptly ordering all the garrisons to be on high alert, Ying Zheng hurried to Wei Liao, who seemed to have the most serious symptoms.

Although he was not sure whether someone had poisoned him, Ying Zheng still half-knelt down, tightly grasped Wei Liao's hand, and said in an extremely serious voice: "Captain, rest assured!"

"I will search the world for famous doctors who will definitely cure the poison you have been poisoned with!"

"I will definitely find out the real culprit and avenge you!"

Wei Liao's brain was originally in chaos, and the voices of other people only sounded like buzzing when they reached Wei Liao's ears.

But the word "revenge" pierced through the annoying buzzing sounds like a needle, and even pierced through the chaos in Wei Liao's mind, penetrating deeply into the depths of Wei Liao's subconscious!
The reason why this battle developed like this is because Chang'an Jun was determined to avenge the king!
In order to avenge the king, Chang'an Jun continued to lead his troops eastward? !
Wei Liao murmured subconsciously: "Revenge?!"

"No! Don't seek revenge anymore! At least not now! Daqin can't take it anymore! Daqin really can't take it anymore!"

Wei Liao's voice became louder and louder, and finally he suddenly opened his eyes, tightly grasped Ying Zheng's hand, and cried out in a sad voice: "Your Majesty, please put the country first!"

Ying Zheng: (￣ー￣)
I feel that the revenge you speak of and the revenge I speak of seem to be different?
The keyword "revenge" was constantly triggered, and Wang Wan's consciousness was also awakened. He shouted repeatedly: "How much territory did Chang'an Jun expand in this battle?! How many cities did he capture?!"

"Does Lord Chang'an intend to continue his march eastwards to avenge the king?!"

Ying Zheng: (╬￣皿￣)
My dear ministers, are you like this just because you heard about your brother's great victory? !

Don’t I know what kind of person my younger brother is?

Since my brother has promised me that he would not insist on avenging me, he naturally will not insist on avenging me.

The reason why your brother has not withdrawn his troops yet is simply because the State of Yan is reluctant to stop fighting.

War is never decided unilaterally, but requires both sides to decide to stop fighting.

My dear ministers, your misunderstanding of my brother is really too deep!
Ying Zheng shouted in a deep voice: "The soldiers from the front have just returned."

"You, my dear ministers, have such an attitude. Isn't it chilling the hearts of the soldiers?"

Wei Liao glanced at the helpless Danfu who was kneeling there (he had no strength to stand up), waved away Feng Quji who was supporting him, stood up with difficulty with his hands on the table, and bowed: "Your Majesty, I admit my guilt!"

Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and other court officials also recovered and bowed their hands together: "Please forgive our rudeness. We are really thinking too much about the battle situation on the front line."

Facing the anxious and worried gazes of his ministers, Ying Zheng could no longer enjoy the first-hand military news alone, even though he was anxious.

Ying Zheng took out the smaller bamboo slip from the bamboo tube, handed it to Wang Bo, and said in a deep voice: "Read the military report of Lord Chang'an to you all!"

Wang Bo quickly took out the military report and read aloud: "On April 23rd of the 14th year, the troops of my minister, Prince Chengjiao of Chang'an, captured Handan and captured the King of Zhao."

"On the same day, General Jian led the main force of our army to defend Handan and capture the cities of Handan County. I led an army of 180,000 from Handan City to the east, and Lieutenant General Li Xin led an army of more than 20,000 to the south, to jointly support General Meng Wu's troops and lift the siege of Neihuang."

"On May 14, the 14th year, I captured Yanghu and ordered the generals under my command to march out in all directions to lure the Yan army to split up. I also ordered a small army to pretend to be the main force and cross the river to confuse the Yan army. The Yan army then lifted the siege of Neihuang City and crossed the river to the north."

"On May 21, the 14th year, I ambushed the Yan army at Guanxian Ferry. Although the Yan army was defeated, Yan Prince Dan was still unwilling to stop the battle. Instead, he led 30,000 soldiers north, intending to join forces with the Yan army's reinforcements and then march south again to fight a deadly battle with our Great Qin!"

"For the safety of my country, for the peace of my people, and to prevent the start of a new war, I am forced to continue to hunt down Prince Dan of Yan and his troops!"

"On the sixth day of the sixth month of the fourteenth year, I arrived at the south of the city of Chu and saw that Li Mu, the Marquis of Wu'an in Dai, had already deployed 120,000 troops there."

"I know that my Great Qin is exhausted, and I also long for peace. I really don't want to start a war again! Therefore, I privately agreed with Dai Wu'an Jun not to fight, and together we forced the Yan army to cease fighting and return peace to the world."

"On the same day, the Yan envoy rode into our camp and offered the head of Yan's Crown Prince Dan to ask for peace!"

Ying Zheng's vision suddenly turned dim and his heart was filled with sadness.

Brother Dan!
What's up with this?

Why is this so!
