"This old guy Xu Fu defrauded the imperial court of money and went to a deserted place to become emperor for the indigenous people?"
"This old guy won't forgive his hatred even if he is cut into pieces with a thousand cuts!"
"Hmph! He also said that he was looking for elixir for His Majesty. I think he is cheating money. He has no intention of coming back after leaving!"
"No, he also took away three thousand boys and girls from our Da Qin and brought them to the island to work as coolies for him!"
…
When Xu Fu was mentioned, all the ministers cursed and had no good impression of him at all.
Especially Ying Zheng, his face suddenly darkened after hearing about the situation on the island.
Xu Fu gave him a poisonous golden elixir, which was obviously with bad intentions.
Perhaps his original goal was not to become an emperor overseas, but to become the emperor of Qin!
After seeing no results, I defrauded a large amount of money, ran overseas, and lived a leisurely life!
If Fei Yu hadn't captured him, this old liar would have established his own empire there.
If we can't protect them, we will attack Da Qin one day!
"Feiyu is on the road right now?"
After learning that everything went smoothly and that a lot of treasures were found on Fu-Sang Island, Ying Zheng's brows slowly relaxed.
"Your Majesty, the general will set off from Jizi Kingdom, enter Daqin from Liaodong County, and return to Xianyang!"
With a look of pride on his face, Wang Li cupped his hands and reported.
"Departing from Jizi Country? Didn't the young master go to Fusang Island to capture Xu Fu? Why did he end up in Jizi Country again?"
"Perhaps Jizi Country and Fu-Sang Island are not far apart, and the young master got excited for a while, so he ran there!"
"Impossible. Although the young master is young, he is definitely not someone who wants to have fun...!"
After hearing this, all the ministers in the hall began to speculate.
"You and Feiyu took a boat out to sea, why did you end up in Jizi Country?"
Ying Zheng was also full of question marks.
"Your Majesty, after the young master led us to destroy the Wo Kingdom, he also wiped out the Chen Kingdom and the Jizi Kingdom, gained countless trophies, and captured the kings of the two countries, Weiman and Jizhun, alive!"
"Hiss..."
As soon as Wang Li finished speaking, the whole audience took a deep breath.
Even Wang Ben was stunned.
If the expressions of all the ministers in the room were not the same as his own, he would even think that he had heard wrongly!
"Too arrogant, young master is so arrogant! He destroyed the three kingdoms one after another and even captured his king alive. How can he be called a helper?"
"Although the Chen Kingdom was just established and has a small population, it has at least tens of thousands of troops. Not to mention the Jizi Kingdom, which has at least 200,000 troops. Just... was destroyed like this?"
"If we heard correctly, what seems to be going on...!"
The ministers were in shock and couldn't calm down for a long time.
"You only had more than 10,000 troops and you wiped out all three kingdoms?"
Ying Zheng couldn't believe it either.
The Wo Island is understandable, after all, the people living on it are indigenous people, so it would be easier to destroy them.
But Chen State and Jizi State were already large-scale countries, how could they be destroyed so easily?
Even with the support of Huapao, it shouldn't have gone so smoothly!
"No! It's not...!"
Wang Li shook his head and corrected himself, "After destroying the Kingdom of Chen, the young master left some people to garrison on the island of Wo to look after the slaves, and also sent some people to continue cleaning. We only had eight ships heading to the Kingdom of Chen. Plus eight or nine thousand people!”
"Ahem..."
Eight or nine thousand?
If it were in the past, these few people would be enough to serve as cooks, and they would not be able to go to the battlefield at all!
Nowadays, just these 18,000 people can push three countries equally, which is simply unbelievable!
"The young master was afraid that His Majesty would be worried, so he asked the general to mount a fast horse and return to Xianyang to report to His Majesty!"
"okay!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand, "You've been working hard all the way, go back and rest quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Li bowed his hands and left under the shocked eyes of everyone.
"Hahaha! As expected of my son!"
Ying Zheng smiled heartily.
It was also the only time the ministers saw him during this period of time!
Ever since Ying Feiyu left, Ying Zheng has always had a sullen face, and all the ministers were trembling even when they presented the memorial, for fear of saying something wrong!
It's okay now, young master, he will be back soon, and they can live a relaxing life for two days!
"Your Majesty, the young master has benefited the people and made a lot of contributions to the expansion of the Qin Dynasty. I ask your Majesty to reward you generously!"
"Yes! The young master led the troops to pacify Lingnan, and destroyed the Xiongnu, Wo, Chen and Jizi. He also made a lot of contributions to the development of the Qin Dynasty. He must be heavily rewarded!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal...!"
After Wang Li left, all the ministers asked him to play.
When Ying Feiyu first came to Da Qin, although he brought back a lot of high-yielding grain seeds and some advanced farming tools, the ministers were worried about ulterior motives and did not agree with Ying Zheng's large reward.
Now, after more than two years of contact, everyone is convinced of Ying Feiyu, and it's time to reward him!
"Heavy reward?"
Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, seemed to understand the opinions of the ministers, "You mean...?"
"That's right, I think the young master is worthy of the important task...!"
Feng Quji, the former right minister and now the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and said, "When I establish a prince in the Qin Dynasty, I should establish a virtuous, an elder, and a legitimate son! Although the young master is not the eldest son, he is respectful to his brothers and treats those ministers who have different intentions. He will never be soft-hearted, he is strong and soft at the same time, he can be called virtuous! Moreover, the young master is your majesty’s only legitimate son, so he is the best choice for the crown prince!”
After saying that, Feng Quji bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng to show his serious attitude.
"Feng Shangshu is right. Your Majesty has many heirs, but not many are as outstanding as the young master. Whether it is opening up territories, developing the economy, or benefiting the people, the young master has made outstanding contributions and is worthy of being a prince. position!"
"Young Master Fusu is your Majesty's eldest son. He is virtuous and virtuous, but he lacks the means that an emperor should have. The young master will not kill when captured, and he will not be merciful to those who resist. He is the best candidate for the future emperor of Qin!"
"Yes, the young master is only seven and a half years old now, and with such talent, our Great Qin will surely prosper in the future!"
"Young Master Fusu has always been on good terms with the Young Master, and this time he also went on the expedition with the Young Master. Moreover, Young Master Fusu is obsessed with agriculture and wants to benefit the people, and has no interest in politics at all. I believe he will also support Your Majesty in making the Young Master the crown prince!"
Someone took the lead, and all the ministers came forward one after another, suggesting that Ying Zheng should divorce Ying Feiyu and become the crown prince.
"Well, I know, I will consider this matter!"
After patiently listening to the words of the ministers, Ying Zheng nodded but did not express his position.
Establishing a prince is not a child's play and should not be taken lightly!
Although he has long regarded the young lady as a prince and raised him, it is not a good thing to establish a prince too early. It will only push that boy to the forefront!
If another child like Hu Hai is born, Fei Yu will be the first to be persecuted!
So he didn't dare to speak easily and had to consider it carefully!
