"Your Majesty, I failed to exercise strict control and deserve the death penalty. Please punish me." Gongshu Yu was the first to step forward.
Especially when he saw the crude version of gunpowder on it, he felt terrible.
This is the secret of the Qin Dynasty, and it was leaked out. There must be something wrong with the Ministry of Works, otherwise this thing would not have been leaked out.
Maodun knew the recipe, but did anyone else know it?
He couldn't even imagine the outcome if it was obtained by the remnants of the six kingdoms.
"You get up first. Let the Dali Temple investigate this matter thoroughly. Within ten days, I will find out who leaked the secret recipe and find out the thief." Zhao Qingrui looked at Yao Jia.
"I obey your command." Yao Jia's face was serious. He also knew the importance of this matter.
This matter concerns the secrets of the Qin Dynasty, and Yao Jia also attaches great importance to it.
Being able to infiltrate the Ministry of Industry was already a serious matter. If he didn't know who was behind this, he would definitely cut that person into pieces once he caught them.
The Qin Dynasty has finally developed so well, but there are still people who want to destroy its stability. It's really damnable.
"I want to send troops to pacify Maodun and kill him directly." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
This person was always causing trouble when he was alive, so it's more reassuring that he's dead.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to pacify Maodun." Meng Tian stood up at the first moment. Sitting in the position of Minister of War was too difficult for him as a military general. He just wanted to lead the troops to fight.
"I am also willing to lead the troops to pacify the rebellion." Wang Ben also stood up. He had been guarding the Qin Dynasty for several years. In addition, after practicing physical training methods, his strength had increased countless times. He had been itching to do something.
Now that Meng Tian is in Xianyang, nothing will go wrong even if he leaves.
The other generals were all guarding the borders of various parts of the Qin Dynasty, and there were not many talents available in the court.
Zhao Qingrui looked at Wang Ben and Meng Tian who were excited. These two were the divine generals of the Qin Dynasty and were like the stabilizing force of the country.
Asking them to fight Maodun, especially when they have an advantage in weapons, is simply overkill.
"I'll think about it. Let's talk about the gunpowder issue first." Zhao Qingrui did not agree directly. She planned to discuss this matter with Ying Zheng.
Several people discussed for a long time. After they left the palace, the Ministry of Works was completely under control. Then the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple intervened and began to investigate.
The people in the Ministry of Industry have a very high status in Daqin, especially since they control the technology. At first, they were unhappy with these people who came, and even questioned them unhappily.
After knowing the purpose of these people's visit, the arrogant man suddenly became speechless.
Even if they were simple-minded, they knew that this matter involved the foundation of the country. If they dared to stop it, these people would just chop them to death.
As for those problematic people, they were completely frightened at this moment. The imperial court had discovered what they had done and came to arrest them.
Of course, there are also those who are mentally strong and very calm, and they also have some luck mentality, thinking that what they do is secretive and they will definitely not be able to find out anything.
After Meng Yi and Yao Jia arrived at the Ministry of Industry, they immediately began an investigation. Everyone, from top to bottom, even the guards here, were included in the investigation list.
This move was huge, shaking the government and the opposition.
On the other side, Zhao Qingrui came to Yilanzhu, where Ying Zheng was drinking and having fun with the beauty.
"Everyone, go back. My father and I have something to discuss." Zhao Qingrui waved to the performers and asked them to leave.
"Have you finished your court affairs? Why are you here?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows. The environment here was quiet, and his mind was not on political affairs, so he didn't know what was happening in the court for the time being.
"Something big has happened." Zhao Qingrui seriously told Ying Zheng the contents of the letter sent back by Li Xin.
"Damn it! Once the person who leaked the information is caught, he will be executed by slow slicing." Ying Zheng's face was also very bad. He also knew the importance of the Ministry of Works. Those people were so audacious and deserved to be put to death.
"Don't worry, father. I won't let the traitor go." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"By the way, I'd like Father to help me make a decision. I'm planning to send people to pacify Maodun. Who should I send? Meng Yang and his men have to deal with the Maurya Empire, and they don't have many generals they can use."
"Meng Tian and Wang Ben both want to go. If we let them go, it would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It's such a waste." Zhao Qingrui said distressedly.
"Haha, that's all. In this world, who else can be the opponent of my Great Qin? Meng Tian and Wang Ben must be getting bored staying in the Great Qin. It wouldn't be bad to let them go out and play for a while." Ying Zheng laughed. That's right, just for fun. The forces assembled by Maodun were nothing in front of the powerful Great Qin.
"Father, this is a national war and we must not be careless." Zhao Qingrui was still not very confident about Maodun.
"Yes, yes, then who do you want to send?" Ying Zheng said indifferently.
"This is exactly why I came to ask my father for advice." Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng eagerly.
"If I were to say so, then send Wang Ben. He has been holding it in Xianyang for many years." Ying Zheng touched his chin and said.
"Marquis Tongwu? That's fine too. Xianyang is very safe. After he leaves, Meng Tian can take over his position temporarily." After pondering for a moment, Zhao Qingrui felt that Ying Zheng's proposal was not bad.
At the court meeting on the second day, Zhao Qingrui announced his decision and appointed Wang Ben as the commander-in-chief to fight against Maodun.
Because they had to use foreign troops again, and fortunately the treasury was more abundant due to the autumn harvest, there were not many voices of opposition in the court.
Wang Ben was very surprised to hear that he was appointed as the commander-in-chief. He thought that this opportunity would fall to the younger generation again, but he did not expect that His Majesty would directly appoint him.
