Chapter 171 Ying Zheng: Let’s fight, I already have a more suitable crown prince!
Look at the world!
Able to take action in Xianyang, Handan and Weicheng at the same time.
This is not something that ordinary forces can do.
These three places are far apart. If it is still the situation before Zhao and Han were destroyed, it would be divided into three kingdoms, spanning too large an area.
Therefore, in the world today, there is only one country that possesses such a strong dark force.
That is the Qin State! Ying Bu raised his head and said in a serious tone: "My Lord, the people of this attacking force are all dead soldiers. Even if we capture them, they will bite the poison sac in their mouths and die." "Looking at the whole world, the only country that can attack my Jiuxian Tower at three locations at the same time is Qin."
"And the one who took action this time should be the most mysterious and strongest Anbu organization in Qin, the Black Ice Platform."
Hearing this!
Zhao Feng smiled and said, "It's exactly what I thought."
"My Lord."
"So what should we do?"
"Is it a counterattack?" Ying Bu asked tentatively.
"My Jiuxianlou is now all over the world, and it suddenly appeared. This is too mysterious for King Qin, so he naturally wants to investigate."
"Again."
"The profits from Jiuxianlou are too great."
"For the Qin State, naturally there are many people who want to get a piece of the pie. If we can get the wine recipe, it will be a great way to make money."
"Even if the King of Qin doesn't want to, those old foxes under his command may want to." Zhao Feng smiled faintly.
When Heibingtai took action, Zhao Feng did not show any surprise.
Because Zhao Feng naturally thought of all this immediately.
Moreover, as the behind-the-scenes controller of Jiuxianlou, the amount of money that Jiuxianlou can earn every day is enormous.
Because the wines of Jiuxianlou are so far ahead of this era, if you have tasted the wines of Jiuxianlou and then drink the wines of this era, you will know how unpalatable the wines of this era are.
Huge profits, absolutely huge profits.
"Then the Lord is not going to take action against this Black Ice Platform?"
"Actually."
"Yan Ting has also found many bases of the Black Ice Platform. As long as the master gives the order, Yan Ting will destroy them immediately." Ying Bu said respectfully, with an expectant wave in his eyes.
Obviously.
He wanted to lead Yan Ting to attack Heibingtai.
But as soon as he finished speaking.
Zhao Feng frowned and looked at Ying Bu.
"My Lord, please calm down."
"I have overstepped my bounds."
Ying Bu knelt down hurriedly.
"After all, I am still the supreme general of Qin."
"The King of Qin has been very kind to me."
"The Black Ice Terrace is under the direct control of the King of Qin. To deal with the Black Ice Terrace is to deal with the King of Qin. I am not so heartless as that." Zhao Feng said slowly.
"I understand." Ying Bu nodded immediately, looking flustered.
"Let's just leave it at that."
"At least, I, Yan Ting, did not suffer any loss, and it was also thanks to the Black Ice Platform that came to test and verify my strength." Zhao Feng smiled faintly.
"If the Black Ice Terrace attacks again, what should Yan Ting do?" Ying Bu asked respectfully again.
"Yan Ting cannot take the initiative to attack the Black Ice Platform, but if they still dare to come, I will kill them one by one."
"No need to show mercy." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
Hear this.
Ying Bu was delighted and said immediately, "I understand."
The reason why Zhao Feng did not take the initiative to provoke Heibingtai was for the sake of King Qin's face, but it did not mean that Zhao Feng would let them spy on Jiuxianlou, nor would he let Yan Ting's secret men surrender. If they dared to come again, Yan Ting would still not be polite.
…
Xianyang!
Zhangtai Palace! It's already been night for a long time.
The eunuch's voice announcing the time in the palace had already sounded twice.
And Ying Zheng was still dealing with memorials, and finally, he finished reviewing the last memorial.
Ying Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Finally finished reviewing.”
"After reviewing these, there will be much less to do after tomorrow." Ying Zheng's face also showed some anticipation.
At this time!
"Your Majesty."
A deep voice sounded beside Ying Zheng's ears, and Dun Ruo walked out of the inner hall quickly.
"Is it arranged?"
Seeing Dun Ruo coming, Ying Zheng immediately asked.
"Return to the King."
"The secret soldiers have been arranged. They will accompany the king to protect him as soon as he sets off." Dun Ruo replied immediately.
"That's good."
"After the court meeting tomorrow, I will announce my departure for Yongcheng."
"You will lead the secret soldiers to follow in secret." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"I understand, but I did not come here just to report this matter. There is another thing that I am guilty of." Dun Ruo looked at Ying Zheng with some trepidation.
"Huh?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly and looked at Dun Ruo with scrutiny.
"I sent someone to test the Jiuxian Tower again."
“And it’s not just Xianyang.”
"In Handan, there is also Weicheng, where Jiuxianlou first appeared."
"At the same time, we sent secret soldiers to conduct a night raid to explore the secrets of the Jiuxian Tower."
"The secret soldiers I sent out have just entered the Jiuxian Tower, and no one who entered escaped." Dun Ruo reported respectfully.
Hear the news.
As calm as Ying Zheng was, his expression suddenly changed at this moment.
"What did you say?"
"After entering the Jiuxian Tower, no one escaped?"
"How many people did you send?" Ying Zheng's expression became serious.
"Xianyang sent a hundred elite secret soldiers, Weicheng sent sixty, and Handan sent seventy."
"They are all secret warriors who have seen blood." Dun Ruo said bitterly.
"No one survived?" Ying Zheng asked uncertainly.
"No one survived." Dun Ruo nodded.
"How could this be possible?" Ying Zheng's expression also became extremely solemn.
Black Ice Terrace! This was not created by him, but by his ancestors.
The foundation is so profound that it has lasted for hundreds of years, and there are also secret soldiers all over the world.
Many secret reports from various countries seemed secretive, but it didn't take long for them to reach Ying Zheng. All this was thanks to the Black Ice Platform.
All along.
The existence of the Black Ice Platform meant that it was invincible, but now the entire army was annihilated? Not even a single person escaped.
This is really too serious.
"The existence behind this Jiuxianlou is too secretive, and the power they possess is also very strong."
"If it weren't for the absolute suppression, it would be impossible for all my Black Ice Stage secret warriors to escape." Dun Ruo said in a very serious tone.
As the leader of the Black Ice Stage of this generation, Dun Ruo knew best how strong the secret soldiers under his command were.
Ying Zheng fell into silence, looking thoughtful.
"Your Majesty."
"I suggest sending troops to encircle and suppress Jiuxianlou directly."
"This way we can solve the problem of Jiuxian Tower." Dun Ruo said respectfully.
Ying Zheng raised his hand and said: "Jiuxianlou has not violated the law. On what grounds do I mobilize the army?"
"After Jiuxianlou joined our Great Qin, it paid a lot of taxes and also abided by the law."
"The Black Ice Terrace investigation is also unknown."
"If I take action against Jiuxianlou and force it to another country, it will be a huge waste of money, which is not advisable." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
The royal authority is indeed supreme and cannot be violated.
But royal power is also controlled by a pyramid-like structure, and laws are a key link.
If a king disregards the law and takes action without any reason, it will be a huge blow to his own authority, and his subjects will follow suit.
In Daqin.
The law governs everything.
The existence of the Court of Justice is to enforce the law and administer the law.
According to Shang Yang's law, kings and dukes who violated the law were equally punished.
This is not fake.
"Are we going to suffer such a huge loss this time?"
"This Jiuxian Tower is too mysterious. I will feel uneasy if I don't find out the truth before it is revealed." Dun Ruo said with a bitter face.
Originally, the power of the Black Ice Platform radiated throughout the world, and no country could avoid being spied on by the Black Ice Platform.
But now there is a force right under his nose, and Heibingtai has no way to deal with it. This makes Dun Ruo feel annoyed, but more of it is unwillingness.
"It's a shame. Of course, I can't eat it like this."
"Make a more rigorous plan and make sure to investigate this Jiuxianlou thoroughly."
"If there is evidence to prove that Jiuxianlou is a spy for another country, prepare the evidence and submit it immediately." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Dun Ruo accepted the order respectfully.
Then he also retreated.
Ying Zheng looked thoughtful: "Jiuxian Tower."
"This is so powerful, it shouldn't be a force from another country."
"But it is really too strange that such a force suddenly came into being."
"If he is really out of control and really wants to spy on my Great Qin, then I can only lead my army to destroy him."
"If there is no reason, then just fabricate a crime." Ying Zheng thought to himself.
The incident at Jiuxian Tower was a setback for Heibingtai, and perhaps for Ying Zheng as well.
The next day!
The court meeting begins! After the court ceremony.
"Wei Qing."
"Have all the food and supplies needed in Yunzhong been planned?" Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao and asked.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"I have been personally in charge of this matter. The required food and grass will be transported from Zhao. If there is a shortage of food and grass, it will be transported from Guanzhong to ensure that Yunzhong City will not be short of food and grass."
"Besides that."
"The uniforms and armor required for new recruits."
"The Shaofu is also ordering people to work hard to produce it, and all of it can be delivered to Yunzhong City within half a year." Wei Liao replied immediately.
As the most important Shaofu among the Nine Ministers, Wei Liao naturally holds great power.
It's not just about military achievements, but also about logistics and supplies. As long as it's related to the army, it's basically related to the Shaofu.
Naturally, Ying Zheng did not choose the wrong person for this position.
"Well done, Captain."
"The Wu'an camp in Yunzhong City has just been established, and there are many things to do. If there is anything related to the military, you will need to personally inquire about it." Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"I have been in correspondence with General Zhao Feng. If there is any trouble in the Wu'an camp, the general will report it to me."
"I can handle minor matters myself, but if it is a major matter, I will report it to the king." Wei Liao said immediately.
Ying Zheng was naturally more satisfied with Wei Liao's attitude.
There were many small matters in the court that did not need to be reported to the emperor, but many court officials had to report everything. This forced Ying Zheng to read some useless memorials and waste his time. Even though Ying Zheng had said it many times, the court officials and even his subordinates still did so.
The memorials that were gathered in the Zhangtai Palace for review were of course not limited to Xianyang, but came from all over the Qin Empire.
The county magistrates from all sides then gathered together to meet the county governor, who then reported the matter to the capital. The two prime ministers were responsible for integrating the reports and then reporting them to the Zhangtai.
This is the exact process, and you can imagine how huge the volume of memorials was.
"Okay, let's continue the discussion." Ying Zheng did not say much and let the minister continue to speak.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After it lasted for quite a while.
None of the court officials made any further submissions.
Ying Zheng slowly said, "In a month, it will be the Queen Mother Huayang's birthday. It has been two years since I went to Yongcheng to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday."
"Therefore."
"I have already made up my mind."
"After the court meeting, I will set off for Yongcheng."
As soon as these words fell.
It was like a thunderclap in the court, leaving many court officials confused.
But soon.
Immediately the old fox came to his senses.
Wang Wan immediately stepped forward and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be away in Yongcheng for a month. I wonder how the affairs of state will be decided?"
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Wan and smiled faintly in his heart.
"Prince, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the state. Since father has decided to set off for Yongcheng, he will naturally make arrangements." Hu Hai immediately looked at Wang Wan and said.
Zhao Gao, who was serving Ying Zheng, saw this and smiled with satisfaction.
As a close attendant.
Zhao Gao naturally learned the news first.
So he told Hu Hai early on and asked him to fight for it.
When the king leaves the palace, he may be appointed as regent. It would be foolish not to fight for it now.
If one of the two princes in the court wins the position of regent, it will be a declaration of the future.
Look at Hu Hai and speak.
Wang Wan replied without hesitation: "Mr. Hu Hai, you are too kind."
"I, as an old minister, naturally know that the king must have made some arrangements before leaving the palace, but for the sake of the safety of Great Qin, I naturally have to ask a few questions."
"After all, the King's departure is a big deal."
“If it is not arranged properly, there will be chaos.”
Hu Hai laughed: "My father hasn't even spoken yet, but the prime minister is too anxious."
"Could it be that the Prime Minister still wants to control the will of the King?"
As soon as these words fell.
Wang Wan's expression changed.
"How can this Hu Hai be so eloquent?"
"He was originally a man not good at speaking. It seems that Zhao Gao taught him in advance." Wang Wan's heart sank and was filled with anger.
But at this time.
Ying Zheng raised his hand.
Wang Wan shut up immediately.
"After Gulidu."
"The Wei Qing is in charge, and Wang Xiang, Wei Xiang, and Ting Wei are the assistants to manage state affairs."
"If there is anything that cannot be decided, you can send someone to Yongcheng to let me review it."
"As for matters with minor impact, Wei Qing can make the decision on his own, and the three ministers, the king and the prime minister, will assist you." Ying Zheng said slowly.
Hearing this.
Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang looked at each other with disappointment.
The same was true for Fusu, who was standing in front.
Hu Hai sneered in his heart: "Don't even think about trying to get Fusu the power of regent."
“The teacher told me.”
"We must not let Fusu govern the country."
Hu Hai sneered in his heart.
The reason why he spoke was not to fight for it, because Zhao Gao also understood that it was impossible to win it with Hu Hai's qualifications. If a prince was really allowed to regent, it would most likely be Fusu.
"Your Majesty."
"I think Prince Fusu has been involved in government affairs for many years and can try to manage the government affairs."
"I wonder if it is possible to allow Prince Fusu to participate in politics?" Wang Wan asked tentatively.
Hearing this!
Ying Zheng looked thoughtful, then smiled and said, "Prince Wang, what you said makes sense."
Hear this.
A look of excitement suddenly appeared on Wang Wan's old face.
"My father is still willing to train me." Fusu was also happy in his heart.
Hu Hai, who was standing by, felt a sinking feeling in his heart, and Zhao Gao, who was serving beside him, was also feeling uneasy.
now.
Many ministers in the court also looked at Fusu, and some ministers who chose Hu Hai were now showing fear and worry.
Participating in party struggles is a life-and-death choice.
If you choose the wrong one, you will die.
"Your Majesty."
"The Eighteenth Prince now has many unique insights into government affairs. I suggest that Prince Hu Hai also participate in the discussion of government affairs."
"In this way, Master Hu Hai's ability in governing the country will surely be improved."
A court official who supported Hu Hai immediately stood up and spoke.
"I second the motion."
Suddenly, another group of people stood up.
"I object."
"Prince Hu Hai has only been in office for a short time. His qualifications are far inferior to those of the eldest prince, so he is not qualified for the job."
"I second the motion."
"It is enough for the eldest son to assist the adults in discussing politics."
A number of court officials who supported Fusu stood up to oppose it.
Right now.
The court was like a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder, with the entire court arguing endlessly over the political affairs of the two young masters.
On the one hand, he did not want Fusu to participate in politics alone, and on the other hand, he did not want Hu Hai to participate.
The quarrel continued.
The entire court was in constant motion.
At this moment, there are only a few people still in the quiet court.
Wang Jian is one, and Huan Yi is another.
Wei Liao is also one.
Li Si is also one.
They were watching this grand drama quietly.
From this we can also see that there are still many voices in the seemingly united Qin court.
certainly.
Deep down, Li Si actually wanted to speak out against Fusu's participation in politics, but as a minister of politics who had been appointed by Ying Zheng, he naturally did not dare to speak out.
"Fight, fight!"
"I am still here and they are fighting like this. If I were not here, how far would they fight?"
"Fusu, Huhai."
"hehe."
"You guys go fight. I already have someone better."
Ying Zheng looked at the scene in front of him very calmly.
After knowing that Zhao Feng's mother was the beloved person he had been looking for for many years, Ying Zheng decided that Zhao Feng and his sister were his children.
Zhao Feng's outstanding performance in the Qin Dynasty is obvious to all, and the whole world has witnessed it.
With such a son, if he really becomes the crown prince one day, he can definitely continue Ying Zheng's will and make the Qin Dynasty prosperous.
That is exactly the case.
Letting the two parties in the court fight each other is more in line with Ying Zheng's plans for the future.
After it lasted for quite some time.
"That's enough."
Ying Zheng spoke slowly.
As his voice rang out.
The originally bustling and noisy court suddenly became quiet.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
All the ministers bowed and paid homage.
"Fusu, Huhai."
"They participate in the political discussion together, but they only have the right to propose. The decision-making power lies with Wei Qing."
"alright."
"Let's adjourn the court."
Ying Zheng made the final decision immediately, and without waiting for the court officials to say anything else, he stood up and left the court hall.
Hearing this last edict.
Wang Wan and the others naturally looked disappointed.
But the court officials who supported Hu Hai were naturally surprised.
“The outcome is still undecided.”
"Prince Hu Hai also has the right to participate in politics."
"Very good."
Many court officials who supported Hu Hai were delighted.
This time, they won the fight.
"The king's plan, haha."
Wei Liao seemed to have seen through the situation.
But of course he wouldn't say anything.
