"quiet--!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Zhao Gao glanced at Ying Zheng and immediately shouted.
Soon, the ministers who were in a commotion because of the First Emperor's words fell silent like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, and the sound of needle drops could be heard throughout the hall.
The First Emperor's intention to conquer Baiyue again was no secret in the court, and many people even secretly encouraged it, hoping to promote it.
The reason is nothing more than two words: profit.
It seems to be for the stability of southern China, but in fact it is more for profit.
The dignitaries of Great Qin needed to obtain more benefits from the south to make up for the shortcomings of destroying the six kingdoms.
However, what they didn't expect was that the First Emperor actually intended to entrust the land of Baiyue.
This is a great thing for them.
You know, after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, although the powerful people of Qin gained some benefits, they were not even a drop in the bucket for the interests of the entire Six Kingdoms.
But even if the benefits obtained were small, the dignitaries did not dare to raise opinions with the First Emperor because the First Emperor was too powerful.
Before the destruction of the six kingdoms, the First Emperor was a powerful monarch.
What's more, the First Emperor after destroying the Six Kingdoms.
Who dares to give him advice and ask for more benefits?
nobody!
No one dared to oppose the First Emperor.
It is for this reason that the powerful wanted to promote the conquest war in the Baiyue Land.
And the faster, the better.
"His Majesty...."
Wang Wan wanted to stand up again, but Ying Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "You ministers must have guessed it, but before that, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart that I want to say to you ministers!"
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were immediately in awe, and they all sat upright and listened attentively.
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and then said loudly: "I have been in the Great Qin Dynasty for ten years, and the fathers and mothers in Guanzhong have fought successively, and the blood has flowed like a river. People in the world have only seen this war, and only seen me as the winner of this war. He is a murderous tyrant!
I want to ask you, right? "
Wow!
The ministers were in an uproar, and no one dared to answer.
Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head. Then he suddenly stopped smiling and said solemnly: "No! My war only lasted for ten years, but the war between the seven countries lasted for two hundred years!"
As he said that, he looked around at the ministers: "My dear ministers! Has it ever stopped one day in these two hundred years?"
"Without my unification of the world, how can there be peace in the world?"
"Can the King of Han, King of Zhao, King of Chu, King of Wei, King of Yan, and King of Qi bring peace to the world?"
"cannot!"
"Can Yan Dan do it? Can Jing Ke do it?"
"no!"
"Only I can stop the war and bring peace to the world!"
"I am the only ruler in the world!"
"But." As he said this, he changed the topic and continued: "Is this all my fault?"
"no!"
"Because this merit belongs not only to me, but also to you, and to the thousands of elders in Guanzhong!"
"Just now you shouted that the Qin Dynasty will last ten thousand years, and I will last ten thousand years, but I think so! Is it possible?"
"The years do not leave a gray head, the rivers do not distinguish between day and night, and the dead are like this. Since ancient times, sages and sages have not been able to stay in the world, let alone us?"
"Therefore, our monarchs and ministers must complete the great deeds that we should do in our lifetimes, and our merits will last forever in the world, and our merits will last for eternity!"
"boom!"
The passionate words of the First Emperor reverberated in the ears of the ministers, like a great bell, deafening and enlightening.
The entire hall was as quiet as a deep valley.
The ministers did not dare to make the slightest sound, and even the voice that was most likely to respond to such a great dynasty was gone.
Because at this moment, under the warm winter sun, the First Emperor's eyes were clearly filled with tears flashing on his face.
Who was the First Emperor?
There are very few things that can move him!
But now.
The ministers not only saw the king who had just passed his forties with white hair on his temples, but also saw the always stalwart First Emperor, whose shoulders were gradually becoming rickety.
True.
Profit is the lifeblood of the family.
But without the First Emperor, would these benefits have been possible?
No!
If the First Emperor had not resolutely destroyed the six kingdoms, would people like myself have been able to witness the glory of the Qin Dynasty in our lifetime?
cannot!
Therefore, although benefits are important, we must also be grateful.
Thanks to the First Emperor for his efforts over the years.
The image of the First Emperor was infinitely elevated in the hearts of the ministers. Li Si was the first to break the silence of the valley: "I am willing to swear allegiance to His Majesty to the death!"
"I am willing to swear allegiance to Your Majesty to the death!"
As soon as Li Si's words fell, the entire hall echoed like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
"good!"
Ying Zheng said excitedly and said energetically: "Unifying the six countries and quelling the war is not the highest achievement. When it comes to unification, Shang, Tang and Zhou Wu also did it. It is not the original creation of our Great Qin!"
"So, I decided to conquer the land of Baiyue and completely solve the worries in the south!"
After saying this, he immediately shouted: "Where is Wang Jian?!"
"Old minister is here!" Wang Jian responded and stood up.
Ying Zheng glanced at him and said solemnly: "Come and tell the ministers about the situation in the south!"
"only!"
Wang Jian cupped his hands, looked around at the ministers and said, "The land of Baiyue is rich in products, especially gold beads and emeralds. The people of Yue don't understand how precious the treasure land is, and they are barbarians!"
"We, the Qin Dynasty, have already destroyed the Chu State, pacified the Wuyue State in the east of the Yangtze River, and captured the Baiyue State in the south of the Lingnan Province. It's no problem at all!"
"But." As he said this, he changed the topic and continued: "It will take a year or two for the army to prepare before it can go south!"
"Why is this?" Feng Jie stood up and asked: "Since we are barbarians, why do we have to wait a year or two with our great military strength of the Qin Dynasty to destroy the six kingdoms?!"
Everyone seemed to be confused, and all the ministers turned their attention to Wang Jian.
Wang Jian smiled and said solemnly: "Because His Majesty wants to make it up to you!"
"this?!"
The ministers were suddenly startled, and the hall fell into silence again.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "After listening to the words of the old general, all ministers must also understand that the land of Baiyue is in the possession of our Great Qin! Our Great Qin can capture it whenever it wants!"
"But why should I wait a year or two?"
"Because I said, Da Qin's current achievements not only belong to me, but also to you!"
"After destroying the Six Kingdoms, I did not give you a large reward because the Six Kingdoms have not yet been calmed down. In addition, I am unwilling to abandon the system of prefectures and counties, which will lead to the division of China and the recurrence of war!"
"But, as the folk saying goes, wealth never forgets one another!
I am one with you as kings and ministers, and we govern the world together. How can I forget your merits? "
After saying this, Ying Zheng looked around at the ministers and said in a sincere tone: "My lords! The future of Great Qin not only belongs to me, but also to you, and to the thousands of elders in Guanzhong..."
The ministers were very excited and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Your Majesty knows everything!
Your Majesty is so kind!
His Majesty said the future belongs to us!
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years! Great Qin, ten thousand years!"
All the ministers prostrated themselves and shouted in unison, expressing gratitude to the First Emperor.
Wei Liao's mouth twitched, and he bowed helplessly, not knowing what to say.
This trick invites you to enter the urn and establishes trust with your words. Your Majesty has finally figured it out!
