Chapter 332: His Majesty hinted that the Prime Minister was smuggling and the Young Master was covering it up
"Your Majesty, please make arrangements to patrol the border to comfort the troops."
"Winter clothes to keep out the cold are to be prepared by military supplies."
"The chief minister, Nong Yangye, and the Marquis of Wucheng, Wang Jian, discussed it together and decided on the acres of land to be rewarded to the soldiers."
In the court hall, Li Si stood up and reported in a deep voice.
After saying these three sentences, the Right Prime Minister of Great Qin remained silent, as if he had finished reporting.
Such an appearance made all the officials in the court secretly curse him as an 'old fox'.
Even Liu Bai had to admit that Li Si had been in the officialdom for so many years and indeed had some skills.
This visit to comfort the border troops represents the attitude of His Majesty the First Emperor, and will even involve the establishment of the crown prince in the future.
As a minister, especially the Prime Minister, who is the head of a hundred officials, he is extremely sensitive to this topic.
Li Si stood up and reported the preparations, but he did not ask the question that everyone was most concerned about: "I wonder which young master your Majesty would like to patrol the border."
Such a question that should be asked the most but should not be asked is precisely the profoundness of Li Si's cultivation in Chaotang.
because....
His mouth didn't ask, but he actually asked.
Things are ready, Your Majesty...it's time for those in charge to decide!
This is what Li Si conveyed.
All the officials in the court looked at Fusu and Yingche, and they kept guessing in their minds.
These two young masters have now demonstrated their talents in the court. Who will His Majesty the First Emperor choose?
Even Liu Bai was particularly concerned at this moment.
There is no other way....Leave the matter of winter clothing to the military quartermaster...He is the quartermaster.
At this moment, Liu Bai even missed Chun Yuyue and Shusun Tong a little.
"These two veterans will surely stand up and recommend Fusu if they are here."
Liu Bai sighed slightly,
He doesn't regret that his sword is too fast, but he regrets that there is no 'scapegoat squad'.
Thinking of this, Liu Bai raised his eyes to look at His Majesty the First Emperor on the high platform, trying to get some clues from his face or eyes.
Maybe your majesty would give you a look and you would understand?
Unexpectedly,
The moment Liu Bai raised his eyes, he happened to meet His Majesty the First Emperor's eyes.
That majestic look made Liu Bai lower his head.
Damn it, what could be more embarrassing than peeking at the emperor and then realizing they were looking at each other?
"Cheer,"
When the voice sounded from the high platform, Liu Bai's heart froze.
Could it be that...His Majesty the First Emperor really wanted to choose Ying Che to patrol the border troops?
Putting the prince's question aside for now, if this is really the case, wouldn't it mean that His Majesty is extremely repulsive to Fusu's 'mutual trade'?
And everyone in the court looked shocked.
Although they didn't know whether His Majesty the First Emperor would choose Prince Che or Prince Fusu.
but...
Most people still think that the possibility of Fusu is relatively high.
after all...
Fusu is the eldest son, and he has been in the court longer than Prince Che, and he is prudent in everything he does.
Although Gongzi Che showed his talent, but...the original foundation cannot be reversed in a short time.
"My son is here."
Ying Che looked calm, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes as he walked to the center of the Qilin Hall.
Everyone was guessing, but no one asked him if Ying Che wanted to go!
Zhang Han has been very tired from "teaching martial arts" these days. If he goes to Dai County in the north, not to mention the fatigue of traveling and traveling, but because of Wuhou Wang Ben's silly temperament, maybe he can take Ying Che with him for military training. Ruined!
The officials looked at Ying Che with somewhat complicated eyes.
In addition to some expectations in the eyes of some officials, there are more eyes full of scheming.
The Crown Prince...is not just a matter for the royal family.
The reshuffle of officialdom is what they really care about.
However,
In the next moment, another majestic voice sounded from the high platform.
"Fusu."
"My son is here."
Fusu was a little stunned, but he still got up and walked to the center of the hall, standing on the right side of Ying Che.
"Now that the patrol and consolation matters have been prepared, I now order you two to patrol and comfort the border troops on your behalf."
"It is bitterly cold in the north, the Xiongnu are brave, and the warriors of Qin guard the country. They are the heroes of our Qin. You two must be gentle and comfort. You need to be comforted by the generals of the Ming army. You should worry about the worries of the generals of the army and report to the generals of the army what they want."
"You two,"
"Understandable?"
On the high platform, His Majesty the First Emperor spoke with a steady voice.
But what he said really made waves in the hearts of the court officials!
Are the two young masters patrolling the border troops together? ! ! !
What does this mean? Your Majesty, have you not decided yet, or have you seriously decided to let the two gentlemen fully display their talents before making a decision?
They thought about it day and night, hoping to see some signs of something big in the matter of the crown prince, but this was the result?
Yang Ye narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, not daring to smile too happily.
In his opinion, it is good for Young Master Che to have such an opportunity.
Li Si, on the other hand, looked calm and seemed not to care about this matter at all.
As for Wang Jian...
He already knew it!
With His Majesty's temperament, once he makes a decision, he will definitely act vigorously and resolutely, and will never give a signal to establish a crown prince again.
On the contrary, Liu Bai suddenly realized it at this moment!
he...
understood!
He, Liu Bai, can even be sure that at this moment, no one in the entire court understands better than him!
It seems that the two young masters are patrolling the border troops together... but this is not the case!
The first person His Majesty the First Emperor called was Young Master Che!
This represents His Majesty the First Emperor's attitude towards the Huns: Fight!
Then the person who shouted was Fusu,
What this means is that after their eyes met just now, His Majesty the First Emperor saw what Liu Bai was thinking and planning, so he gave a signal!
Very simple:
Da Qin's attitude cannot be changed, and there is definitely only one word of "fight" towards the Xiongnu.
but...
Things can be done flexibly!
Mutual trading can be done privately and quietly.
"My son, I obey!"
"My son, I obey!"
After receiving the decree, the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
One of them was afraid that his sixth brother would arrive at the front line and convey the wrong message, causing the frontline generals to start fighting in a hurry.
The other one was afraid that he would suffer on the front line, but now he had an extra brother and a shield.
The corner of Liu Bai's mouth twitched slightly, and he almost fell to the ground!
Are these two stupid students still happy?
Do you know that your father is cheating on your teacher? Let you patrol and comfort the border troops?
This is to ask you to pull the flag, and then ask your teacher to send people to the border to engage in smuggling trade!
Not only that, you have to kill all other smuggling trades, and then smuggle only cattle yourself!
Liu Bai wanted to cry but had no tears.
I originally thought that if Fusu went alone to patrol the border troops, he could do it openly.
Good now,
Is the dignified prime minister engaged in smuggling?
It was still the instructions from His Majesty the First Emperor’s eyes,
Are the two young men playing cover?
This is written in the history books. Could it be a perfect example of a traitor who forgets his country for the sake of profit?
But the truth is that we really want the soldiers to have a warm winter!
