"On behalf of Yu Qian, I would like to thank Your Majesty for not killing me!" Tian Ping knelt on the ground and kowtowed, feeling relieved.
Then, he exited the inner hall.
Seeing Tian Ping come out, Yu Qian stood up and stepped forward and asked, "Prime Minister Tian, how is it? What kind of official position does your Majesty grant me!"
"Shang Shu?"
Yu Qian directly mentioned an official position!
Yu Qian thought that with his talents and that side article, he would at least be able to get the position of minister!
Shangshu is comparable to a second-grade official position.
Tian Ping rolled his eyes at the latter, "Yu Qian, do you really dare to think that the position of minister is a second-rank official? Do you think... you, a just entry candidate, can take on such a big official position?"
Yu Qian said as he walked, "Servant, he must be the minister, and Xie Hou and Tian Yin also have this official position."
Tian Ping shook his head impatiently.
no?
Yu Qian understood that it must be because he had offended His Majesty, so he gave himself a small official position.
"That must be the Attendant!"
"It's impossible going down!"
Yu Qian frowned.
He felt that the emperor was holding a grudge, so he would not arrange his official position too low.
"No!"
"I tell you Yu Qian, His Majesty has arranged for you to go to the Ministry of War's study room and work as a handyman." Tian Ping said angrily.
"A... handyman?"
"Your Majesty must be angry. I have to go to Your Majesty for comment!" Yu Qian's stubborn temper could not endure such humiliation.
As a result, Tian Ping grabbed him and said, "Yu Qian, it's lucky that His Majesty didn't chop off your head. I'll take you to the Ministry of War and wait for His Majesty's orders."
Tian Ping grabbed Yu Qian tightly.
He forcefully dragged him out.
Not to mention, Yu Qian was not convinced by this appointment. After all, he is still the top scholar in the top three, at least a moderate, or he may enter the Hanlin Academy and become a bachelor, but in the end, he just ends up as a handyman.
Dongfang Yu, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the inner hall, looked at the policy essay written by Yu Qian. Suddenly, his body paused, and his expression became serious.
"I didn't expect that God would be so kind to our Dongfang family!"
"In the prosperous years of the Great Qin Dynasty, there were many talented people, and there was nothing wrong with it. But God has given Great Qin such a talent. It is really rare!"
Just reading this policy review, Dongfang Yu was greatly impressed by Qian. Eyes full of appreciation.
"Yu Qian's talent is extraordinary! You are so blessed."
Dongfang Yu looked at Dongfang Jun and said.
Seeing Dongfang Yu's expression, Dongfang Jun was also extremely surprised. You must know that his father was an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. He was the best in both civil and military affairs and was a talented man in the world. In front of Emperor Qin Wu, he looked up.
Now, to actually praise someone so much shows that Yu Qian is extraordinary.
"Father, what should we do with Yu Qian? Do we really want him to stay in the study room as a handyman?" Dongfang Jun asked. Since he is a great talent, wouldn't it be a waste of talent if he was put in the study room as a handyman?
"Um!"
Dongfang Yu pressed his chin and thought for a while, "When General Jiangyin withdraws from the front line and returns to Beijing, it would be better to let Yu Qian become a groom."
"There are still two months left, that is, July. When all the nations come to court, I want to meet the envoys of the Yan State to see what their attitude is! If they are willing to return Liaodong, then everyone will be in peace. He will return to the Three Islands , it makes no sense to me.”
"Of course, the capital of the Yan Kingdom is on the border of Liaodong. There is no way to merge Liaodong. That is what Emperor Yan wants. Liaodong is the Qin Dynasty. The territory of our ancestors must be taken back. If they want to stand, try I, the military leader of the Qin Dynasty, went to meet Gongsun Miao and Gongsun Yan in person in August, what ability do I have?"
Yan Guo, he may be official, but he doesn't take it seriously, after all! The Yan State does not occupy much territory in the north, and it will be lost if it is defeated.
What worries him is the Liao Kingdom in the north. Even if the army can break through Lincheng, it cannot destroy the roots of the Liao Kingdom.
The grassland is huge and they are nomadic people who can leave whenever they want and come back at any time.
Emperors and generals of the past dynasties had only the precedent of crippling or driving away these nomadic peoples, but they did not end the Xiongnu's ambition to invade the south.
"Father, Qin... we really can't fight anymore!"
"The cost of food and clothing for an army of 400,000 is a very huge number."
"Although our Qin State has food crops that are hundreds of years advanced in the world,... Qin's savings are not enough in one year."
"What's more, there are more than one million troops in the four armies of the southeast, northwest, and the army guarding the center."
"It's okay if there is no war, but if there is a war, we can't afford it!" Dongfang Jun is the prince and has already started managing finances at the age of nine.
He carefully calculated the country's expenses and found that Qin's military expenditure was the largest in one year.
Dongfang Yu sat on the dragon chair and continued to ask: "Then tell me, what should Qin do most right now?"
Dongfang Jun replied: "Recuperate, develop production, and restore the economy. Only when the people live a prosperous life can we be able to make the Northern Expedition!"
Um!
Dongfang Yu responded with satisfaction.
"However, a war in the north is inevitable. We must fight against the Yan State. If we don't cripple the Yan State first, we can give it a few years to defeat the Qin Dynasty."
In this civil war, my opponents are basically not strong in combat effectiveness, but in foreign wars, it is different. How many years has the Yan Kingdom been standing? The foundation is still there.
Just like Dawu, foreigners wanted to swallow Dawu in one go, but what happened! A sick cat can still mobilize millions of people.
"My son...understand!" Dongfang Jun understood what Dongfang Yu meant, "Father, let's fight this one!"
"Um!"
Dongfang Yu nodded, "By the way, there are still more than two months. I am going to visit Jiangnan incognito. I want to see if what Yu Qian said is true or false."
"My son, go get ready!" Lord Dongfang said.
"In the past two months, you have been in the Chao Zhong Supervisor Country. I just need to take Hao'er and Xuan'er there!"
"yes!"
Dongfang Jun responded.
After four or five days of preparation, Dongfang Yu put on casual clothes, took Yu Qian, Zhuge Xuanyu, Xuan Ziyuan, Yang Xiu and other ministers, and paid a private visit to Jiangnan incognito.
Yangzhou was formerly called Jiangdong, but Dongfang Yu was unhappy and changed its name to Jiangnan.
At this time, the imperial edict sent from Jingping also arrived at the camp stationed in Jiangyin.
The capital, Jingping, is just in the north. It takes only a few days to reach the 400-mile express.
The large tent of the Chinese Army in Jiangyin.
Jiangyin was very leisurely, holding a military book in his hand.
hiss!
Outside the military camp, the commander of the secret guards got off their horses.
When they saw a stranger visiting, a group of soldiers immediately surrounded him.
"who?"
The person patrolling in front of the camp today is none other than General Jiang Ping. This is Great Qin's future potential stock, and he is very young.
"Your Majesty's decree has arrived. I want to see General Zhengdong!"
The leader of the secret guards held up the imperial edict.
As soon as Jiang Ping heard that he was the messenger delivering the imperial edict, he did not dare to show any hesitation.
