Zhao Qiong looked at the grimly grinning Wang He in front of her and screamed as she was carried away by the guards. Cai Ze was afraid that the creature would bleed to death, so he ordered the imperial physician to take care of it.
Meng Ao looked at the remaining five envoys and said with a smile, "I have made a fool of myself, you envoys. It is better to throw the barking mad dog out, otherwise it would have disturbed the peace of this palace."
The envoys dared not say anything and could only agree, without any of the arrogance they had just shown.
However, it wasn't a loss that Qin's strength was exposed because of a fool. As for how Qin would treat Zhao later, if they really besieged Handan, they would naturally send troops to help.
Wang He snorted coldly and said, "General Meng, why should you be so polite to these people? You can just throw them out together. Why do you need to greet them with a smile?"
The envoys pretended not to hear and sat down obediently, flattering him: "The old general is still powerful. That Zhao Qiong dared to shout in front of the general. He is seeking death."
Cai Ze secretly signaled Wang He with a wink, and Wang He understood. He stomped his feet hard, snorted coldly, and left without looking back.
The muffled sound frightened the envoys. Ever since the Battle of Changping, the envoys from the six kingdoms had rarely dared to speak harshly to Qin. They were simply trying to take advantage of the frequent power transitions within Qin to intervene, never expecting that Xianyang City remained peaceful and stable.
To put it bluntly, if Zhao Qiong really died here, it would be in vain. Even King Xiaocheng of Zhao would write to him and ask with a smile if he had offended the King of Qin's eyes!
The same goes for them. If they were really beaten and killed here, their king might be a little angry, but under the pressure of the nobles, he would have to apologize first, saying that the envoys were ignorant and offended the King of Qin, and then he would be beaten and killed.
The atmosphere in the court hall was filled with joy. Wang He left the palace, walked around again, and entered the palace from the back door. Ying Zichu was already sitting there, and Ying Zheng also looked very energetic.
"General Wang, how is it?" Ying Zichu smiled and pulled Wang He to the edge of the bed, about to let him sit down.
Wang He knew this was an imperial act, and that it would be fine for him to sit down. However, he could not sit down. As a general, he could be corrupt and domineering, but he could never break the rules.
"Your Majesty is too polite. I, an old minister, can just stand and answer." Wang He bowed, gently broke free from Ying Zichu's hand, and stood aside honestly.
Ying Zichu didn't force it. It was just right this way. If Wang He really sat down, he would feel uncomfortable.
After all, he didn't have many days left to live. If Ying Zheng had not grown up when he died, Wang He would be a veteran minister of four dynasties, and he would definitely have a place among the regent ministers.
"I wonder what General Wang thinks of what I said?" Ying Zichu asked with a smile. Fearing Wang He might not understand, he explained, "I just mentioned the attack on Zhao in the Xianyang Palace. Does General Wang have any thoughts?"
Wang He pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I understand your Majesty's intention. However, we cannot give Zhao the first battle. From what Zhao Qiong has said, I fear that Zhou may be on the verge of a resurgence. I believe we should immediately direct our troops towards Zhou territory to prevent the six kingdoms from rebelling again."
"What then? Should we kill the Zhou emperor, or what?" Ying Zichu asked sternly. He was not familiar with military affairs. Although he had read a few military books, he was not a soldier after all, so it was not easy for him to give orders blindly.
"Then, we can use our military strength to march east. If our forces are strong enough, we can annex the Three Jins. If they are weaker, we can also make most of the Three Jins surrender to Qin." Wang He bowed and replied, "Of course, whether the Zhou emperor lives or dies is entirely up to the king."
Ying Zichu had never admired someone so much before. Wang He always did things just right, saying what needed to be said and never touching upon anything that shouldn't be said. This was the way of a minister.
"What does General Meng think?" Although Ying Zichu was excited, he still had to consider the thoughts of another minister. "I also want to hear the old general's opinion before making a decision."
"General Meng's idea is the same as mine." Wang He looked up at Ying Zichu's eyes, which were filled with fighting spirit. "General Meng and I believe that we should fight on two fronts. When I lead my troops to attack Zhou, General Meng will lead a special force to attack Han. Although we cannot destroy the country, we will definitely capture three cities to expand our Great Qin!"
Ying Zichu's heart seemed to be burning with anger. After all, he had been suppressed in Handan for so many years, and now that he finally had the chance to take revenge, he naturally would not let it go.
"Tomorrow, spread the news that the Zhao envoys have insulted the King of Qin, committing a serious offense. Qin will gather 300,000 troops to attack Zhao!" Ying Zichu's voice rose a little. "General Wang, do you think this is a good idea?"
"Your Majesty is wise. You must conceal the truth from the public before you can carry out your heroic feat of attacking Zhou and defeating Han!"
Ying Zheng looked at the two excited people in front of him, and his heart seemed to be excited as well. Perhaps this was the feeling of watching his country grow stronger little by little.
However, Chen Xuan did not look at the three excited people. He felt a headache when he saw the beast armor flashing with golden light in his mind.

Chen Xuan cursed a few more times, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that Ying Zheng had returned to the palace and had been reading for some time.
