"My dear friends, the young master has promised me that he will definitely capture the Huns this time. I also agree to appoint the young master as the commander-in-chief of the expedition against the Huns. Do you have any other opinions?"
In the morning court, Ying Zheng was sitting on the dragon chair, with his head held high and his face sullen, showing no signs of happiness or anger.
"Hiss..."
Except for several important ministers who participated in the discussion yesterday, other ministers suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"Being a commander-in-chief at the age of six and leading an army of hundreds of thousands to destroy the Huns? Your Majesty is not kidding, right?"
"In the morning, do you think His Majesty will joke?"
"Yes, the young master fought beautifully in the battle of Lingnan. It is possible for the young master to continue to lead the army!"
"Lingnan is no better than the Huns. Those barbarians are ruthless and can do anything, but they are not that easy to deal with!"
"Young Master is very clever, maybe you can find a way!"
…
The ministers began to discuss quietly.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, your Majesty wants this young master to be the commander-in-chief. You absolutely cannot agree to this!"
"Yes, going out to conquer the Xiongnu is a big deal. We can't decide it hastily. Besides, this is a good opportunity to make military achievements. You absolutely can't miss it!"
Feng Jie and Li Xin took advantage of the situation, approached Li Si, and whispered.
"Hmph! So what if I don't agree? Didn't you listen to what His Majesty just said? The young master has already promised that the Huns will be captured this time. If it were you, would you dare to make such a promise?"
Li Si snorted and laughed at himself.
His Majesty has already said this, and it is obvious that he wants to silence them!
"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. Who can guarantee that we will win?"
Speaking of this, Li Xin's old face suddenly turned red.
The battle against Chu was a stain on his life. Whenever victory or defeat was mentioned, he would think of it!
"Then the young master has made a promise, what else can we do?"
Li Si raised his chin towards Xiao Zhengtai.
He was also very helpless about this matter.
Even he himself felt that the emperor was paying more and more attention to the young master recently, and his status in the court was getting worse day by day.
But there is no way, everything that boy does is something they dare not think about, let alone do!
"How about... we force the young master to issue a military order?"
Feng Jie tentatively spoke.
"madness!"
However, Li Si immediately cursed in a low voice, "Have you forgotten about the military order last time? It is because of the military order that we cannot refute the reform. If we ask for a military order again this time, once that kid is lucky Well, if we win again, the condition is probably to let us get out!"
That kid has been in the palace for more than half a year. Through this period of understanding, he found that the kid is not a master who is willing to suffer!
He had to get some benefits even from the emperor's conditions, let alone them!
If they ask that boy to issue a military order again, that boy will never go easy on them, and will definitely make them pay the same price!
The Xiongnu sent envoys to the Qin Dynasty, and the two countries were about to go to war. It was the right time to hire people, and your Majesty would not carry out large-scale reforms for the time being.
When this kid comes back, reform will definitely be put on the agenda.
But even if he reforms, he is still above the court.
Once a military order is proposed, I'm afraid that guy will let them use his official position as a guarantee, which will be more than worth the gain!
Furthermore, none of the other officials have any intention of objecting. If they proposed it, no one would support it, and His Majesty would not accept it at all!
"well……!"
After listening to Li Si's analysis, even if Feng Jie and Li Xin did not give up, they could only nod helplessly and quietly stood back to their positions.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have no objections!"
After the other ministers had finished their discussions and the whole hall became quiet again, all the ministers raised their hands and shouted in unison, as if they had made an appointment.
While everyone was discussing with each other, Ying Zheng was not in a hurry. He leaned on the armrest of the dragon chair and fiddled with his fingernails.
Jingfu on the side couldn't help but snicker.
This subconscious little action is exactly the same as that of the young master.
I'm afraid even His Majesty himself didn't notice it!
"Okay! Since all of you have no objections, this matter is settled...!"
After receiving the response, Ying Zheng sat up straight and glanced at the ministers, "Dear ladies, do you have anything else to do? If you have nothing to do, please retreat from the court first!"
"Your Majesty, there are only five days left before the half-month period. The soldiers below are here to report that the envoys have been extremely restless recently. Even if our soldiers are following them, they will rob the market stalls at will. I suggest , kill them first, it won’t take more than a few days anyway!”
General Kang Anping suddenly came out of the queue and handed over his hand to report.
Except for Xiao Zhengtai, all the officers and soldiers in Guanyi were sent there by Kang Anping under Ying Zheng's order.
The soldiers came to report a few days ago, but it was not so serious. For the sake of the overall plan, he tolerated it!
But in the past two days, the behavior of the envoys became even more rampant. Sometimes they even teased women on the street. The soldiers stepped forward to stop them, but they still refused to obey!
He couldn't bear this anymore, so he decided to kill those bullies today!
"I second the proposal. Those envoys started to act arrogantly as they were about to arrive in half a month and despised the majesty of our Great Qin. They should be killed!"
Zhang Han also came out to support the proposal and said angrily.
"Yes, I have long disliked them!"
"Yes, by killing them, we can first vent our anger for the people who are being bullied...!"
As soon as Kang Anping started, many ministers came forward to second their opinions.
"Feiyu, what do you think about this matter?"
Ying Zheng stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Zhengtai.
He was the one who advocated keeping them in Xianyang to buy time for the artillery. Now some ministers have proposed to kill these envoys in advance. I don’t know if it is appropriate or not. Don’t ruin the plan!
"Father, I feel that the time has not come yet!"
However, Xiao Zhengtai shook his head and objected.
"Oh? Why is this?"
Ying Zheng was slightly puzzled.
"Father, now the arsenal has added a lot of craftsmen, but the artillery produced is still far from enough. It will take some time!"
"If we kill all the generals now, in less than three days, those Xiongnu hiding in Xianyang will definitely find a way to spread the news back to the Xiongnu. Once the Xiongnu Shanyu sends troops to Qin, we will be at a loss to deal with it, and we will definitely suffer! "
"It's better to let the soldiers continue to stare at it. As long as it's not too much, just tolerate it for now. When the artillery is almost finished, it will definitely make their heads move!"
Xiao Zhengtai stood up and expressed his opinion.
All the ministers present suddenly showed expressions of enlightenment!
Xiao Zhengtai left those envoys in Da Qin for no reason at the beginning. Except for Ying Zheng and a few generals, most of them didn't understand the reason!
It wasn't until today that I realized that the young master was acting like this to delay the manufacture of the artillery!
