"Nongyu would like to thank the King of Qin and all the gentlemen on behalf of the people of Bingzhou!" Nongyu stepped forward and bowed to express her gratitude.

"Miss Nanyue, there is no need to be so polite!" Ying Zheng hurriedly raised his hand.

"Nongyu will not disturb the King of Qin and all the gentlemen anymore!" Nongyu stood up with a smile, took her leave and left the King of Qin's palace.

Ying Zheng and others also watched Nanyue leave.

"Where did Bingzhou get so many extraordinary women!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

A queen who can control all the intelligence of Bingzhou and keep it in order, a second wife who can be in charge of Bingzhou's education, a foreign minister who can handle diplomatic affairs, and now there is an additional female official who can speak eloquently in front of the king.

"If you could marry a woman who is even half as good as them, I would wake up laughing in my dreams." Li Yao slapped his son again.

"If Your Majesty can't find it, where can I find it?" Li Xin said unconvinced.

"..." Ying Zheng, Li Yao, and all the ministers present were silent.

If you can talk, just talk more. Sooner or later, all nine clans will be destroyed.

"Let's get back to the topic. Judging from Bingzhou's preparations for food and supplies, how many troops will Bingzhou mobilize for this battle?" Ying Zheng opened his mouth.

When it comes to business, everyone becomes serious.

They have been calculating the food and grass purchased by Bingzhou in recent years and the reserves in Bingzhou, so they only need to make a rough calculation to figure out how many troops Bingzhou will mobilize this time.

From the deployment of the army, it can be seen whether Bingzhou intends to teach Donghu a lesson this time or to destroy Donghu in one battle.

"To be honest, I don't think this battle in Bingzhou will completely destroy the Donghu!" Wang Jian thought for a long time and shook his head.

Occupying Donghu is not in Bingzhou's current interests.

Bingzhou has finally changed from being barefoot to wearing shoes. If it were to start a war of annihilation with Donghu again, would Bingzhou have the ability to swallow up Donghu's vast territory?

Even if Bingzhou has the ability to destroy Donghu, it will only cause Bingzhou's economy to fall back to the level it was four years ago.

Not to mention whether the officials of Bingzhou are willing, are the people of Bingzhou willing?

They have finally been able to live a prosperous life and are no longer in financial difficulty. Are they willing to let the Donghu people share a piece of the pie with them and push them back to their previous state of hunger?
"I also think so. The intensity of this war in Bingzhou will not be too great. It is more likely that the living space of Donghu and Xiongnu will be compressed step by step." Nei Shiteng also agreed with Wang Jian's guess.

War does not necessarily mean killing the enemy. Destroying the enemy's forces and compressing their living space are sometimes more terrifying than directly killing them.

Moreover, judging from the wars that Bingzhou has fought many times, Bingzhou will not risk everything if there is not enough benefit.

Although Bingzhou seemed extremely violent in the eyes of all the princes, even more violent than Qin, anyone who had carefully studied Bingzhou's strategy would find that Bingzhou would gain enough benefits in every major war to make up for the losses of the war.

Ying Zheng also listened to the analysis of the civil and military officials and agreed with them very much.

Bingzhou will not rashly launch a war that will affect its own economic development.

Even though it was the Donghu who attacked the pass this time, Bingzhou was not impossible to defend.

If Bingzhou wants to go to war, it must be eyeing certain territories of the Donghu that it is capable of controlling and that will not affect the development of Bingzhou itself.

Just like during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the Qin State had the brave general Bai Qi, so was it really impossible to destroy the country?

No, it was because the Qin State did not have the ability to completely control the territories of the princes. It could only kill all the princes' vital forces, and then nibble away at them step by step, waiting for the latecomers to swallow up the world in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Ying Zheng and others believed that Bingzhou was imitating the Qin State and encroaching on it step by step.

"Is this what I can hear?" Wei Ju, standing under the pillar in the corner, fell into self-doubt.

He was not a Qin person, nor was he a Qin civil or military official, yet the discussions between the King of Qin and his ministers did not avoid him.

It was not until dawn, when the small court meeting was over, that Wei Ju followed Li Xin out of Qinian Palace.

"You haven't left yet?" Li Xin was also stunned. Wang Jian, Wang Wan and others were also shocked by Li Xin's words, and then they also found Wei Ju hiding in a corner trying not to attract attention.

Everyone opened their mouths, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Ying Zheng also discovered Wei Ju, who followed Li Xin like a little follower or eunuch.

They actually forgot that Wei Ju shouldn't be here!

Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at Zhang Han and Hei Bai Xuan Jian. You didn't even kick anyone out of the Qin State's small court meeting and let an outsider sit in to listen.

"The affairs of the court are under the jurisdiction of the generals in the palace. It is not our responsibility!" Hei Bai Xuan Jian decisively passed the buck.

These matters are indeed not their responsibility, but are under the charge of the commander of the armored soldiers in the palace.

"!" Wang Jian was also stunned. He was now the Qin State's Weiwei, and the soldiers in the palace were his subordinates, so the problem seemed to really be with him.

But he also thought that Wei Ju had left with Nanyue.

"Since you know the secret of my Great Qin, then you should not leave!" Ying Zheng suddenly laughed.

There was one more reason to keep Wei Ju in Xianyang.

"..."Wei Ju looked at the civil and military officials of Qin State and couldn't help trembling. Why did he stay?

The key point is why no one chased him away.

"Pass the order down and announce to the world that Prince Ju sneaked into Qinian Palace to spy on Qin's secrets and was thrown into the Black Prison under strict guard!" Ying Zheng continued.

"Yes!" Hei Bai Xuan Jian understood instantly.

The reason of threatening Wei Ju with Princess Wannian to force him to come is very far-fetched.

After all, the little princess has Bing Jun and Bingzhou Queen as her backers, so it is not her uncle's turn to save her.

But things are different now. Who wouldn’t believe it if someone was caught eavesdropping on Qin’s secrets?

"Please come in, sir!" Hei Bai Xuan Jian smiled and gestured to Wei Ju to follow him.

Wei Ju looked at Ying Zheng, then at Hei Bai Xuan Jian, and then he understood that the King of Qin did it on purpose.

"General, lead the way!" Wei Ju did not resist.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian and Zhang Han personally took Wei Ju to the bottom of the Qin State's Xianyang Prison.

"This is the king's distinguished guest, he must not be neglected!" Hei Bai Xuan Jian and Zhang Han gave special instructions.

After all, they were just putting it on display for the world to see, they didn't really want to imprison Wei Ju.

"But..." Hei Bai Xuan Jian suddenly thought of something and stopped, "Seal the bottom layer of the Black Prison, send him the best food every day, and meet all his needs, but don't talk to him!"

"Yes!" The jailers nodded. This was not the first time this had happened.

Some noble children broke the law and were thrown into prison. They received the same treatment, except that they were sent to another place and were not allowed to go out and cause trouble again.

"Why is no one allowed to talk to him?" Zhang Han was puzzled.

"Well, before Bingjun entered officialdom, he almost destroyed the Chu State's Heavenly Prison. Relying on his mouth, he was escorted out of the prison by the prison guards. At that time, Bingjun was not yet the master of Xinxue who he later became. How much of Bingjun's true teachings do you think you have as Bingjun's younger brother?" Heibai Xuanjian asked back.

Zhang Han was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

It is said that there is now a new rule in the Chu State Prison, which is that prisoners are not allowed to talk to more than three sentences.
