The scouts had an unobstructed journey and arrived at Zhangtai Palace.
All civil and military officials looked over.
They were all puzzled.
The news from the scouts came back so quickly?
Is there news from the Fourth Young Master so soon?
But they don't think this is good news.
The scout came back so soon, what does that mean? It means that the fourth young master must have stumbled into a fight in Xiaoshengxian Manor.
After all, the Little Sage Village has been passed down for such a long time, so it is normal for the Fourth Young Master to be unable to defeat the Little Saint Village.
They weren't surprised.
"Fourth Young Master is still too young."
"There is a reason why Little Saint Xian Manor has been passed down for hundreds of years. Those people brought by the Fourth Young Master are probably in more danger than good."
"I don't know what your Majesty is thinking about letting the Fourth Young Master lead a team to destroy the Little Saint's Village. Doesn't Your Majesty know that the Little Saint's Village is a staunch supporter of the eldest son?"
"Hey, Your Majesty is confused. I'm afraid that the Fourth Young Master will fall into a fight in Little Saint Xian Manor."
"I think this is a good thing. The Fourth Young Master has become famous at a young age and has never experienced failure. This incident at Little Saint Xian Manor can also play a role in tempering the Fourth Young Master, letting him know that there are people outside the world, and there is a heaven outside the world."
All the civil and military officials started talking.
The words were full of regret.
Ying Zheng quickly stepped down from the throne.
He pulled the scout over and asked: "But there is news from the Fourth Young Master??"
The scout took the document from his back and quickly spread it out.
"On August 1, the fifth year of Emperor Qin's reign, my son-in-law didn't dare to stop for a moment after annihilating the Mohists. He galloped to Songhai. However, he was ambushed by the leader of the Taoist clan at Yuexi Mountain on the border of Songhai."
Speaking of which.
Ying Zheng's expression changed instantly, and his expression became particularly gloomy.
He didn't expect the Taoists to be so courageous and dare to ambush his fourth son.
You must know that there are about ten thousand people around Ying Qin, and if the Taoist clan dares to ambush him, then there must be more than ten thousand people, and it is more likely that the Taoist clan will come out in full force.
He couldn't imagine what kind of pressure his fourth son was facing and how much loss the Taoist clan had caused him.
I'm afraid this number will be too high to imagine.
If the Taoist clan reaches Yuexi Mountain first, it will inevitably occupy the commanding heights, and attacking the city will often cause huge casualties.
It wasn't just Ying Zheng who was angry.
The generals were also angry.
"Asshole!! How dare the Taoists do this??"
"They are openly opposing Da Qin!!!"
"It seems that hundreds of schools of thought are always a huge hidden danger to Da Qin!!!"
"First the Mohists assassinated His Majesty! Then the Confucians assassinated the Fourth Young Master! Then the Taoist clan ambushed the Fourth Young Master! Perhaps all the schools of thought have come to oppose Da Qin!!"
"Today the Taoists dare to ambush the Fourth Young Master, and tomorrow they will dare to raise the flag of rebellion!!!"
"General, I sincerely request your Majesty to order the annihilation of hundreds of schools of thought!!" At this time, Li Xin stood up.
Various behaviors of various schools of thought.
It obviously touched the nerves of the generals.
They know how hard-won peace is.
How difficult it is to unify the six countries.
The actions of various schools of thought are the prelude to war.
They were really angry and wished they could immediately send troops to exterminate those so-called schools of thought.
The difference is those civil servants.
They heard that the Fourth Young Master was ambushed.
The first reaction was to be overjoyed.
Yes, just overjoyed.
I even wanted to clap my hands and cheer.
Since the rise of the Fourth Young Master, everything has squeezed the living space of their civil servants, and the power in their hands has gradually been divided by this Fourth Young Master.
Moreover, the series of reforms presided over by the Fourth Young Master harmed many interests of civil servants like them.
If the Fourth Young Master dies in this ambush, they will gain immense wealth.
For example, the Ministry of State, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Education, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences established by the Fourth Young Master. These departments have many officials promoted by the Fourth Young Master. Working in these departments, the official position is not low, and there will be a prime minister's position vacant. .
When the Fourth Young Master dies, they will inherit his legacy.
And they will also master these departments.
Especially the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Academy of Chinese Studies that they are most interested in. Everyone knows that Daqin is the most powerful economic country, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce controls the lifeblood of Daqin's economy. This is a very rich department.
As for the Academy of Chinese Studies, it provides a steady stream of blood for Da Qin. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that future officials will definitely be selected from the Academy of Chinese Studies. Whoever is the dean will be able to win all over the world.
Maybe he will become a being comparable to Kong Sheng!
Who among the literati does not want to leave a name through the ages?
The scout scratched his head.
"Generals, please finish your remarks."
After the scout reminded them, they realized that they were too stressed! !
Before the scouts finished speaking, they started shouting to beat and kill the various families.
"My son knew that the opportunity to fight was fleeting, so he ordered the mountain to be set on fire. The thieves couldn't bear to sit there and wait for death, so they went down the mountain and charged. There were about 20,000 thieves. I annihilated them all in one battle!!"
Hear this.
The generals were stunned.
Destroy them in one battle?
Twenty thousand people were killed by the Fourth Young Master like this?
The Taoist sect also knows that those disciples are not easy to save money, and everyone is not weak in strength.
In the army, they can be considered elite.
Twenty thousand elite men were killed by the Fourth Young Master like this?
"Hahahaha! Well done, Fourth Young Master, I didn't expect him to be a military genius!" Li Xin slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
"Yes! The Fourth Young Master is really amazing! All 20,000 Taoist disciples were annihilated by him!" Another general said happily.
"The Fourth Young Master is proficient in literary, Tao, and martial arts. I have someone to succeed me in Great Qin!!" Wang Jian stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.
This Fourth Young Master is really outstanding. Even at such a disadvantage, he was able to wipe out all the traitors from the Taoist clan. This is enough to show that the Fourth Young Master has extremely high attainments in the art of war. Perhaps only such a Fourth Young Master can lead Great Qin to glory.
As for the eldest son Fusu, he is really not optimistic about him.
The situation in the Qin Dynasty is complex, with the nobles of the six countries watching eagerly, and hundreds of schools of thought surging. This situation is beyond the control of ordinary people.
The eldest son Fusu blindly trusted Confucian people, insisted on the Confucian enfeoffment system, and believed in Confucian benevolent governance. If he governed the country in this way, he would only drag the Qin Dynasty into an abyss.
What Great Qin needs is a pioneering king, not a conservative king, and the Fourth Young Master is the best candidate.
Ying Zheng's brows also relaxed and he spoke subconsciously.
"My unicorn son!!"
He was really happy for Ying Qin.
This is what his children should look like! !
Wen Tao was proficient in all aspects of martial arts.
Is there anything else he doesn't know?
These four sons have repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, which is truly a blessing to the Qin Dynasty!
Involuntarily, he thought of Fusu in prison.
He frowned.
This person is afraid of comparison.
My fourth son has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats abroad.
And this eldest son is a bit funny.
He was forced to go on a hunger strike in prison.
He was arrogant with the Confucian people to harm the interests of the Qin Dynasty.
Do you really think that Da Qin can't function without him?
Do you really think that if Da Qin loses him, there will be no heir?
Does he take himself too seriously?
What stood out were the civil servants.
They were all very angry.
What do Taoists do for food?
Twenty thousand people can't beat ten thousand people?
Will they go to war?
Why is the leader of the Renzong so stupid as a pig?
They couldn't understand that 20,000 people from the Taoist clan were in the right place at the right time, but they were actually killed by 10,000 people.
It’s so outrageous.
If it were the civil servants like them, this Fourth Young Master would die without a place to bury him.
The scout's words continued.
"After I annihilated the Renzong, I rushed to Xiaoshengxian Manor non-stop. In order to arrest Zhang Liang of Xiaoshengxian Manor for questioning, I mobilized 100,000 troops to surround Xiaoshengxian Manor."
Also at this time.
A civil servant jumped out.
"Your Majesty! It is not appropriate for the Fourth Young Master to deploy troops without permission!"
"Without the troop dispatching document from the Ministry of War and the tiger charm for troop dispatch, what the Fourth Young Master did is tantamount to gathering a crowd to rebel! This precedent cannot be set! I sincerely request your Majesty to apprehend the Fourth Young Master!" Li Qiangyi, the newly appointed Minister of Rites, said righteously.
"Yes!! The Minister of Rites is right. Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, no one has set such a precedent! If everyone follows suit in the future, the Qin Kingdom will not be a country!" Wang Chao, the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, spoke uprightly.
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Everything should be done urgently. It is understandable that the Fourth Young Master does this. And who said that the Fourth Young Master does not have a tiger charm?"
"The Fourth Young Master has a Tiger Talisman?" Li Qiang, the Minister of Rites, was confused. He was very confused as to why the Fourth Young Master had a Tiger Talisman. Aren't all the Tiger Talisman in His Majesty's hands? He has never heard anyone say that His Majesty gave the Tiger Talisman to the Fourth Young Master?
Ying Zheng nodded.
In fact, he did not give Sizi the Tiger Talisman.
However, my fourth son has made so many contributions, so what if I give him a hundred thousand soldiers and horses?
Even if I don’t have it now, can’t I get on the bus first and pay for it later?
He didn't have to worry about the Fourth Son rebelling.
This Great Qin, as long as he reigns for one day, no one in the whole world will openly rebel! !
Seeing that Ying Zheng was determined to protect Ying Qin, the Minister of Rites did not continue to mess around.
The scout spread out another document.
"Xiaoshengxianzhuang refused to obey the discipline. My son ordered thousands of arrows to be fired to kill thousands of rebellious officials and traitors. Xunzi, the old thief, became furious and incited the people of Songhai to launch a riot. My son used iron and blood to suppress them!"
"Later, my ministers oppressed the old thief Xunzi with force and righteousness, but the old thief Xunzi was powerless! The strength of the Little Saint Xianzhuang was exhausted! Under the leadership of the old thief Xunzi, the Little Saint Xianzhuang knelt down and proclaimed himself a minister!"
"Cai!!!" Ying Zheng slapped his thigh, very excited.
My son did it! !
He actually conquered Little Saint Xian Manor! !
Although the document did not describe the detailed process, he also knew that the resistance was not as great as usual.
I'm afraid that my fourth son is facing unprecedented pressure.
Obviously he wanted Ying Qin to teach Xiaoshengxianzhuang a small lesson, but he never expected that the fourth son gave him a surprise.
Xiaoshengxian Village is transcendent, its influence and appeal are extraordinary, and it is impossible for ordinary people to conquer Xiaoshengxian Village.
This guy has obviously completed his task beyond the standard! !
Sure enough, among these heirs, only the fourth son is the most capable, and the other young masters cannot catch up with him.
The difference is those civil servants.
They were all confused.
Is this Fourth Young Master really a monster?
How did he conquer Xiaoshengxian Manor?
You must know that Xunzi is a land god. Who dares to act wild in the small sage village where he is in charge?
In front of the land gods, an army of 100,000 people will not have much effect. A land god is enough to be comparable to an army of one million.
"No way, this is absolutely impossible."
"There are nearly 10,000 disciples in the Little Saint's Village, and there are masters like Zhang Liang, Yan Lu, and Fu Nian. It is impossible for the Fourth Young Master to use force to suppress the Little Saint's Village."
"Yes, the Little Saint's Manor is the ancestral home of Confucianism, and those disciples cannot be just meager people. Even if they cannot defeat him, they cannot surrender to the Fourth Young Master."
"Fake, this must be fake."
"Maybe it's false news sent back by the Fourth Young Master."
"I see."
"..."
Those civil servants didn't believe it.
In their view, Xiaoshengxian Manor is the ancestral home of Confucianism, and the disciples, including the headmaster, are all people of integrity. Even if they really cannot defeat the Fourth Young Master, they cannot kneel down and surrender.
So there is only one answer.
That is, the four young masters came together with the scouts to deceive them.
It may be that the people brought by the Fourth Young Master suffered heavy losses. In order to prevent Ying Zheng from punishing him and to prevent them from impeaching him, the joint scouts sent back a false message.
"Do you know that the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by the nine tribes?" A civil servant jumped out, pointed at the scout and angrily yelled.
"My lord, are you suspecting that I am spreading false news?" The scout wanted to punch this annoying guy to death.
The Fourth Young Master fought bravely against the enemy outside and put in so much effort to win the Little Saint’s Village.
But why do these civil servants insist on slandering the Fourth Young Master? Why do they insist on slandering the false news he spread...
It can only be said that people's hearts are sinister. This little scout still underestimated the dirty hearts of these civil servants.
They don't want to win against Qin.
When they saw that Ying Qin had made so many contributions, it was more uncomfortable than eating shit.
"quiet!!!"
"When the Fourth Young Master comes back, all the truth will be revealed!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
Interrupted the aggressive civil servants.
He didn't think his son was lying.
It was also impossible to unite the scouts to deceive him.
Because my son has a sense of propriety in doing things, it is impossible to make a fuss about such a big matter.
If Xiaoshengxianzhuang really surrenders, then his fourth son's wings will be full.
The resistance to inheriting the throne will be much smaller in the future.
It seems that it is time for this fourth son to gain military exploits and gain support from the military.
As for civil servants.
He is one person, so there is no need for him to worry.
Yes, Ying Zheng has already thought about establishing a prince.
Fusu's performance disappointed him.
The other heirs are not as outstanding as Ying Qin.
In him, he saw his own shadow.
Now that the Huns were ready to make a move, it was time to give them some clues. He also wanted to know what the fourth son could do and whether he was an emperor on horseback.
If he is not good at leading troops in war, he will clear all obstacles for his son.
If he is good at it, he will delegate it appropriately.
Zhao Gao's eyes were gloomy.
He knew that Master Hu Hai's chances were getting slimmer and slimmer.
This fourth young master may be the final winner.
So where should he go?
