"So that's it."
Zhao Hao nodded as if he suddenly realized something, then looked around at the ministers and said:
"It turns out that the benefits that the imperial censor and Prime Minister Li meant were marriage, land cession, and compensation? Is that so?"
"."
The ministers were speechless and couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Although Ying Feng and Li Si never said anything about ceding land and paying compensation, marriage was indeed what they wanted.
Because this is what Qin Xianggong did back then, in exchange for a short period of peace at a very small cost, which bought time for the development of Qin.
But when Zhao Hao said this, it was obviously not that simple.
Sure enough, Li Si quickly stood up and explained: "Qin Wanghao misunderstood. The old minister did not say that he would cede territory and pay compensation, but that he could buy more time for the Qin Dynasty through marriage."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Lu: "I wonder who Prime Minister Li plans to marry? Is it your daughter or yourself?"
Wow!
The whole place was in an uproar.
The ministers never expected that the young master Jiang Lu, who had always been a low-key person, would dare to humiliate Li Si in front of the court.
Although Li Si usually seems kind and has a good relationship with everyone, it does not mean that Li Si has no temper, especially when facing a prince like Jiang Lu who has almost no real power.
"presumptuous!"
Li immediately became furious and scolded General Lu angrily: "How dare Shu Zian humiliate me like this?!"
"No, Prime Minister Li, my brother, the Sixth Emperor, is not humiliating you, but asking Prime Minister Li on my behalf as to who the candidate for marriage is. This way, I, the King, can make preparations in advance and arrange a generous dowry."
Zhao Hao seemed to ignore Li Si's anger and said calmly.
However, before Li Si could speak, Hu Hai took the lead and interrupted:
"I think Princess Yangzi is a good choice for family!"
"Fuck your mother, if I want to marry you, go ahead and marry the Huns!!" Jiang Lu was so angry that his face was livid.
"Be bold!"
Hu Hai stood up suddenly and scolded the general angrily: "How dare you humiliate the Queen Mother and humiliate this prince, come here! Pull him down and punish him!"
Following Hu Hai's order, more than 20 forbidden troops immediately rushed into the hall, preparing to arrest the general.
At this moment, Zhao Hao glanced at the ministers in the palace and said coldly: "Those who support Princess Yangzi's marriage to the Xiongnu, please come forward. I want to take a good look today. After the death of the late emperor, our Great Qin Court will How much character do you still have?"
"this"
All the ministers looked at each other, but no one stood up.
Hu Hai was furious: "What do you mean, Thirteenth Brother? Sixth Brother openly humiliated the Queen Mother and humiliated the Crown Prince. Are Thirteenth Brother trying to avoid the important and take the easy?"
After saying that, he once again ordered the Imperial Guards who were stunned in the palace because of Zhao Hao's speech: "Why are you still standing there? Quickly pull down the person who offended this prince and severely punish him!"
"It seems that except Prime Minister Li and the imperial censor Ying Feng, no one agrees with Princess Yangzi's marriage to the Huns!"
Zhao Hao sighed and looked at the imperial guards in the hall. The latter looked at each other and finally withdrew from the hall.
"You, you guys."
Hu Hai was so angry that he was shaking all over and could not speak.
Zhao Hao turned to look at him again, half-smiling but not smiling: "I think that Brother Sixth Emperor's proposal is a way to reconcile the prince with the Huns."
"Ah? This"
The ministers' faces were full of astonishment, wondering what the situation was.
How dare he!
Although the prince's power is not as powerful as yours, King Qin, but asking the prince to get married, isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
Throughout the ages, I have never heard of a man being brought in for marriage!
What's more, this man is the crown prince of the country!
"Hahaha--"
When the four Jianglu brothers heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
By now, everyone in the palace knew that the powerful King Hao of Qin was opposed to the marriage, otherwise he would not have made such a 'ridiculous' suggestion.
"Fortunately we didn't stand up, otherwise we would have had a marriage."
The ministers swallowed with fear, because they saw Hu Hai's face at this moment. The twelve-year-old prince of the empire, his face turned white and red at this moment, with a look of shame and anger on his face, staring at Zhao Hao. His whole body was shaking.
If this suggestion was made by someone else, such as Jiang Lu's angry words, he could scold Jiang Lu unscrupulously, even knowing the relationship between Jiang Lu and Zhao Hao, but still want to declare his majesty as a prince.
Even though His Highness's group of forbidden troops still failed to carry out his orders, the majesty of his crown prince must not be violated.
But this suggestion was made by Zhao Hao, whom he feared the most. Not only did he not dare to scold Zhao Hao, he was also worried about whether Zhao Hao was joking with him, because Zhao Hao had the ability to send him to the Huns.
Even though he was extremely angry, he didn't dare to say a word.
Who told him that this thirteenth brother was a ruthless person?
The next moment Hu Hai was at a loss, Zhao Hao's voice sounded again: "Do you have any objections to the prince's marriage?"
"this"
The ministers were speechless and couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
Although this proposal was obviously absurd, they did not dare to stand up and object, because once they objected, the marriage would immediately become empty talk, which would offend Li Si and Ying Feng. However, if they did not object, Hu Hai would be nailed to the pillar of shame. Above that, let alone ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, it is hard to say whether he can continue to be the prince.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao looked around at the ministers with an indifferent expression, and set his eyes on Li Si. He said seriously: "No one has any objections, so it's settled. Inform the Xiongnu that I, the prince of Great Qin, will get married and prepare a generous marriage as soon as possible." dowry!"
"."
Hearing this, Li Si also looked around at the ministers and saw that both the important ministers of his faction and the ministers of other factions had a tacit understanding and did not speak. He was inevitably a little shocked.
Qin Wanghao is really good at it!
The prestige that he had spent decades building was actually shattered by him in just a few words.
It was obvious that everything he said and did was bold, but he actually unified the court and made all the ministers in the court remain silent.
Even Zhao Gao, who was dedicated to fighting for power for Hu Hai, did not dare to stand up and support his disciple when he saw Hu Hai being bullied by Zhao Hao.
After a long time, Li Si took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Qin Wanghao, are you opposed to the marriage, or are you opposed to Princess Yangzi's marriage?"
"Ah!"
Zhao Hao snorted and pointedly pointed out:
"Of course I am opposed to the marriage! If our Qin country is still the small border country it was back then, and in order to survive, we have no choice but to make the marriage, there is nothing wrong with it.
But our Qin State has unified the six countries and the South China Sea, becoming a truly unified power in China. If we continue to rely on a woman to buy peace as before, the mound of earth sealing in the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum may not be able to suppress my father's anger."
Having said this, he paused, looked around at the ministers again, and said with a half-smile: "Maybe one day, he will climb out of the imperial mausoleum and see if his ministers are sitting on crooked buttocks."
"."
All the ministers in the hall were shocked and looked at Zhao Hao with horrified faces. What did they mean by this? Is it possible that His Majesty is still alive? How can this be!
Hu Hai was equally shocked as the ministers.
He looked at Zhao Hao with disbelief on his face, as if he had forgotten Zhao Hao's humiliating words about marrying him, and said in a daze: "Thirteenth brother, father, he."
"What are you thinking about!"
Zhao Hao interrupted Hu Hai's question in a funny way, and said quietly: "If the father is really alive in heaven, can the prince still stand here safely?"
"That's true."
Hu Hai nodded subconsciously, but suddenly felt something was wrong and glared at Zhao Hao: "Brother Thirteen really wants to bully Hu Hai like this?"
"You also know how uncomfortable it feels to be bullied!"
Zhao Hao retorted: "Others have already beaten us at the door, and you still want to make peace with others. What are you thinking? Once we back down this time, others will think that we are weak and can be bullied, and they will beat us to death." I can’t hold my head up!”
"Just like me now! I bullied you in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and you hate me so much in your heart, so what? I haven't always bullied you!"
"this"
All the ministers were stunned, thinking that this King of Qin really dared to say anything.
"Thirteenth Brother bullied Hu Hai. Hu Hai knew that he was no match for Thirteenth Brother, but did Thirteenth Brother ever think about whether Da Qin could go to war with the Huns at this time?"
Hu Hai was rare and did not get angry because of Zhao Hao's words. He was obviously well prepared.
But I heard him say calmly: "The garrison on the other side of the South China Sea needs to stabilize the South China Sea and cannot be easily mobilized. The garrison on the other side of the county needs to put down the rebellion that may arise at any time from the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. Even the 300,000 troops in Wang Li's hands must be built." The Great Wall defense line stabilizes the border, otherwise the Xiongnu will march south in large numbers, causing internal and external troubles, and the country will not be able to control the country!"
"Aren't there tens of thousands of defenders in Yuyang County?"
Zhao Hao said in a funny tone: "Does the Crown Prince think that our army in Great Qin is all made of clay?"
"Even though the Qin army is not weaker than the Xiongnu, it still needs good generals to command. Does Thirteenth Brother have any good generals?"
Hu Hai frowned and asked.
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows: "With me here, why do we need other good generals?"
Hu Hai was overjoyed and quickly asked: "Brother Thirteen, do you mean that you are willing to go to Yuyang County to command the army in person?"
In fact, all the previous push and pull were all paving the way for Zhao Hao to leave Xianyang. As long as Zhao Hao left Xianyang, whether it was to patrol the world or go to Yuyang County to command the army to resist the Huns, this was their goal.
This is also the reason why Zhao Gao has always remained silent.
"Why not?"
"Brother Thirteen is willing to go to Yuyang County to command the army in person, so there is nothing wrong with it!"
Hu Hai smiled happily, as if the unhappiness just now had been swept away.
He turned to look at Li Si and ordered directly: "Prime Minister Li! Immediately draft a letter of credence, declare war on the Xiongnu, and hand over the military power of Yuyang County to the King of Qin."
"Wait!"
Before Hu Hai finished speaking, Zhao Hao interrupted him.
"Um?"
Hu Hai was stunned and looked at Zhao Hao with some confusion: "What else can Brother Thirteen do?"
Is this guy going to go back on his word?
No way!
He took the initiative in front of all the ministers, and he didn't force him!
"Didn't the Crown Prince just say that? There are still remnants of the Six Kingdoms in the country causing rebellion, and I need to patrol the world and suppress the rebellion!"
Zhao Hao winked and said.
Hu Hai glanced at Zhao Gao subconsciously and said tentatively: "Then the Huns?"
"Of course I'll leave it to the prince!"
"Ah? This"
Hu Hai was confused and seemed unable to react.
Zhao Gao also looked at Zhao Hao with some confusion.
But Zhao Hao looked unhappy and said, "Why, the prince can't even do this little thing well?"
"It's not the Thirteenth Brother, Hu Hai."
"snort!"
Zhao Hao snorted coldly and interrupted what Hu Hai wanted to say, and said righteously: "If the prince does not have the consciousness to devote himself to the country, how can he lead our Great Qin and lead the civil and military officials? All the previous kings of our Great Qin have not dedicated themselves to the country and died. Your Mingjun?"
"But."
Hu Hai almost cried.
This great joy and great sorrow came too quickly.
It made him want to pee.
Why should I serve my country wholeheartedly and then die? Is this what I, Hu Hai, can do?
I, Hu Hai, don’t want to die. I, Hu Hai, just want to lie down and enjoy myself!
Seeing the expression on Hu Hai's face that was even uglier than that of his dead mother, Zhao Hao smiled and comforted him again: "Don't worry, Prince, you only need to stick to Yuyang County for two months, and when my brother has wiped out the rebellions everywhere, he will come to Yuyang." The county commands the army to fight!"
After Zhao Gao heard this, he finally couldn't help but said: "Qin Wanghao, the prince is young, I'm afraid."
"The king is talking to the prince, when will it be your turn to interrupt?"
Zhao Hao glanced at Zhao Gao with a cold look, then raised his hand and patted Hu Hai on the shoulder, saying earnestly: "This move will not only make you famous in the country, let the people recognize you as the prince, but also make you stand out in front of the Huns." So majestic!"
"Think about it, you are standing on the city tower, commanding thousands of troops to fight for you. Even my father has never had such an experience!"
"As a brother, I just went to the South China Sea and was crowned King of Qin by my father. If you go to Yuyang County, who will dare to question your position as the prince in the future?"
"Even if you ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, you will also be worthy of the name Qin II!"
"All royal brothers, including my brother, will recognize you as the emperor!"
"Because you earned this with your own ability!"
At this point, seeing Hu Hai's eyes flickering, Zhao Hao changed the topic again: "Of course, if you really don't have confidence in yourself, you can also choose a general you trust and sit with you in Yuyang County!"
"."
A series of deceptions made Hu Hai feel like his head was buzzing.
The expressions on the ministers' faces were even more bizarre.
Compared with Zhao Hao and Fu Su, Hu Hai is indeed less convincing.
But Zhao Hao's words always sounded wrong.
After taking a long breath, Zhao Hao raised his voice another octave and said solemnly:
“We, the Qin Dynasty, have come step by step from a small border country to where we are today. We relied on the brave old Qin to fight against the national calamity together. We relied on the survivors of the Sixth Generation of Fen and the iron bones of the old Qin people!
In my opinion, even if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, a bottom line must be maintained, and that is.
Don’t cut the land,
No compensation,
No tribute,
Not getting married,
The prince guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country! "
boom!
As Zhao Hao finished speaking, the whole place roared.
Not to mention the entire hall was silent, even Hu Hai, who was confused by Zhao Hao, was stunned on the spot.
Anyone who heard these words seemed to have a passionate passion that burst out from deep in their hearts, making them tremble with excitement. (End of chapter)
