Meng Yi was speechless.
"The bandits are just a ragtag group. General Meng is our Great Qin Minister, and he led the Tiger Division's city defense army. However, they returned home in a disastrous defeat. Do you think you are qualified for the role of escort?"
Li Side was unreasonable and unforgiving.
The officials were in an uproar and nodded. This matter has been widely circulated in the court, almost everyone in the court knows about it, and Meng Yi has become a target of criticism.
Meng Yi was even less able to refute.
"What's more, General Meng is seriously injured and has not recovered. How can he protect him? Isn't this regardless of Your Majesty?"
"As for the generals who will protect you, I think General Wang Ben is capable of doing the job."
The ministers listened and nodded. Indeed, compared to Meng Yi, Wang Ben was more suitable. After all, his military exploits were there and he was a famous general.
Ying Zheng also nodded, waved his hand, and concluded: "General Meng, what Prime Minister Li said is reasonable. I accept your loyalty and sincerity, but you are not without work. Xiao Fengchang is with you, so you can take his place and sacrifice the mountains and rivers. Please pray for me!"
After the emperor's order came out, Meng Yi had no choice but to accept the order and thank him, but he hated Li Si deeply in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out. He had no relationship with Li Si, so why should he target him? Is it possible that when this guy found out that he had a good relationship with Li Zhao, he felt resentful?
It is very possible that this is the consistent behavior of this dog, hating the house and the bird.
In this way, the list of Eastern Patrol was finalized, including Li Si, Wang Ben, Xiao Zhao, etc. Of course, Zhao Gao must also be on the list. Ying Zheng had secretly ordered Zhao Gao to come back before the Eastern Patrol, and the elixir of life must also be presented. .
The matter was about to come to an end when suddenly Hu Hai came out and bowed and asked: "Father, I, my son, are also willing to accompany you and serve your father."
Ying Zheng felt very relieved when he saw that the boy he loved took the initiative to make a tour eastward.
The eastward tour was something that shocked the world. Why did he miss the prince? He originally planned to ask Fusu to bring him up, but Fusu just stood there like a log, not moving his feet and saying nothing, which made him roll his eyes several times in anger.
Fortunately, Hu Hai brought it up. Anyway, Hu Hai is also a prince, so let him replace Fusu! Moreover, after Zhao Gao was sent out, Hu Hai was unsupervised and his behavior became much weirder. It would be good to have him accompany him for guidance.
"That's right!"
"Thank you, Father!"
After the matter was settled, Ying Zheng felt relieved and prepared to withdraw from the court.
"My ministers, I still have something to report. If nothing happens..."
Ying Zheng was about to say, 'I'll leave the court if nothing happens', but Li Si said first, "Your Majesty, do you have something to report?"
"Excuse me."
This time, the emperor nodded without hesitation. Li Si felt happy and thought that today's performance seemed to satisfy the emperor, so he boldly said: "I want to impeach Li Zhao."
It’s Li Zhao again! This guy just refused to let this guy Li Zhao go.
Ying Zheng's face tightened slightly and he said dissatisfied: "Why?"
Li Si didn't seem to notice the change in the emperor's expression, and said solemnly: "Bandit trouble is not tolerated by our Qin Dynasty. In order to train new recruits, your majesty sent Li Zhao to suppress the bandits. But Li Zhao was not good at it. He was intimidated by the bandits before he came to the bandits' den. Withdrawing troops is a move without courage and strategy, why should we take on such a big responsibility?"
"This violates your Majesty's trust in him, and it also undermines the majesty of our great Qin. This is a serious crime, and please punish him."
"Your Majesty, please take me to task." It must be said that the officials were colluding with Li Shang as always.
Ying Zheng was slightly angry. Li Si's hand was really stretched out very long. He asked Hei Bingtai to secretly pay attention to this matter. He just found out that Li Si knew about it. If he didn't send someone to monitor Li Zhao, it would be impossible. .
This beast is really all-pervasive and very scheming.
But he remained calm and said solemnly: "I already know this matter, so there is no need to mention it again."
However, Li Si had no intention of stopping. He pretended to be righteous and remonstrated: "Your Majesty, I also heard that Vice General Zhang Han was also dissatisfied with Li Zhao's behavior and privately sent troops to attack the bandit den. However, he could only persuade a small number of soldiers, about a hundred. There are hundreds of bandits and they occupy the main position, so it may be difficult to break through, and the whole army may even be annihilated."
"With Li Zhao's unruly behavior, he will definitely not support him. From this point of view, he is ignoring our Daqin City defense army. This is an unkind and unjust move. How can he become a general of all armies?"
"Your Majesty, please remove him from his post immediately and hold him accountable."
"Your Majesty, please hold him accountable." The ministers echoed, it can be said that they are like the same spirit.
Ying Zheng put on a serious face and widened his eyes angrily. He did not want to give the courtiers a chance to discuss, and said solemnly: "We will discuss this matter later, and withdraw from the court!"
He forced himself to withdraw from the court.
But Li Si is a shameless person who will not give up until he achieves his goal.
"Please, Your Majesty, you must hold Li Zhao to account, otherwise the villain will take over and we, the Qin Dynasty, will be in danger!"
"Our great Qin is in danger!"
"Stop talking."
As soon as Ying Zheng slapped the document, the superior's aura spread out, and he was about to have an attack, but the next moment, the voice of the guard came to report.
"Your Majesty, the city defense guards want to see you!"
Black Ice Tower is a secret organization, and few people in the court know about it. If they want to do public things, they call themselves city defense guards.
"Oh!" Ying Zheng stopped about to leave and said quickly: "Hurry up." He knew that there must be news coming back from Saga Mountain.
When the officials heard this, they were overjoyed.
Aren't the city defense guards people from the city defense army? When reporting to the court during the suppression of bandits, it must be about the suppression of bandits.
Isn't the suppression of bandits Li Zhao's business? Li Zhao must have been defeated, even worse than General Meng, otherwise the person reporting to the court would not have been an ordinary city defense guard, but a city defense messenger.
God helps them! Even God will hold Li Zhao accountable.
"Your Majesty!" Li Si knelt down sadly and kowtowed, "You are right! Li Zhao is a courageous, heartless, and unjust man. He must have been defeated, and he also destroyed 500 city defense troops. This time The tiger is the calamity of our great Qin!"
"Your Majesty, please hold him accountable immediately."
He was the one who spoke hoarsely, spoke with great emotion, and bowed to the court.
At this moment, Ying Zheng stopped, looking a little moved and frowning.
"I humbly bow to Your Majesty." The reporter was from Heibingtai. He had taken off his black clothes and put on the uniform of a guard.
"How is the battle going at Saga Mountain? Is Li Zhao defeated?"
Before the emperor could ask questions, Li Si couldn't wait to ask. This question was a bit out of ideas and completely inconsistent with the prime minister's wisdom.
The city defense guard glanced at Li Si but said nothing.
Ying Zheng waved his hand to indicate his talent.
"promise!"
"Your Majesty, today at midnight, Deputy General Zhang Han sent out a hundred troops without authorization to attack the bandits' nest..." The city defense guard paused, as if he could not bear it, "I fell into the trap of the bandits..." ....completely annihilated."
"The entire army was wiped out?" Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's whole body trembled and his face looked ugly.
The ministers were silent. Sure enough, Li Zhao was defeated, so just say it! How can a man lead an army if he retreats before attacking? But no one said it, everyone knew Xiao Jiujiu in everyone's heart.
Immediately, Li Si showed great pain and closed his eyes. The next moment he showed anger and said sternly: "A hundred lives, my Great Qin Tiger Master! Losing his life like this is the tragedy of my Great Qin."
