Parallel world, Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.
In the red hall, the officials were silent.
Today, no one dares to speak first of the noisy court meetings in the past.
On the high platform, a man wore a golden crown and a purple gold black robe.
His eyebrows are like a knife, and his eyes are sharp and piercing.
Holding a bamboo slip, he fell heavily in front of the courtiers.
"Pa!"
"A total of 500000 troops were routed by tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers."
"The main general died in battle, and the deputy general was captured."
"What a shame!"
"In the five hundred years since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, we have never been so defeated by the powerful enemies of the six countries!"
"A few Nanbarbarians killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers. You are talking!"
The officials trembled, and no one dared to answer.
Seeing Ying Zheng on the stage getting more angry, his eyes were full of murderous spirit, and he could hardly bear it.
Wang Wan, the foremost one, had no choice but to stand out.
As the head of a hundred officials, he assisted the emperor in handling the government affairs of the whole country. No matter whether he made mistakes or not, he would come out to take the responsibility.
"Your majesty, the 500, 000 strong army is not lack of combat power, but the route is not familiar, the landform is complex, the transportation of food and grass is difficult, and the army will collapse without food. This is a matter that I have not arranged properly and I will accept my guilt!"
"Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Then Wang Wan bowed to the ground.
Ying Zheng paid no attention to Wang Wan, but scanned the officials with his eagle sharp eyes.
"Why, half a million soldiers are fighting in the front, but the rear can't even supply food and grass. It's really just the prime minister's fault?"
As soon as this was said, the grain officials who were already nervous finally could not bear the pressure and stood out trembling.
"I am guilty! I was careless. I did not expect that the place of Baiyue was rainy for years and the journey was difficult, so the food and grass could not be delivered all the time!"
"Your Majesty, please do me a favor!"
Ying Zheng looks at the grain officer who finally stands out, his eyes narrowing slightly.
A smile appeared on his cold face.
"Oh? Treasurer Liang said he was guilty of oversight. What do you think?"
The officials looked at each other and did not know how to answer the first emperor who was uncertain.
At this time, Zhao Gao beside Ying Zheng suddenly stepped forward.
"To Your Majesty!"
"I got the news that a large amount of grain raised could be sent into the army as planned, but I left for Lingnan after staying in Changsha County for two days without any reason."
"It was precisely because of the two delayed days that we met with continuous rainy days, and the muddy roads and grain trucks could not cross the mountains, which caused the army to collapse without food for five days!"
Two sentences are like bombs thrown into the crowd.
The officials in the court were in chaos.
You should know that the State of Qin paid more attention to military rations than any other country at that time.
Since the reign of Emperor Xiaogong of Qin, grain and grass have been the most important red line in the Qin Dynasty.
No country knows more about the importance of food than they do, and no one dares to tamper with military supplies.
At the moment, Zhao Gao's words clearly mean that someone is using military rations for personal gain!
And this led to the defeat of the 500000 troops of the Qin Dynasty.
This is not just the crime of killing the head, but the killing of the nine ethnic groups can not be pacified.
Wang Wan, who was kneeling on the ground, was also in a cold sweat.
He only knew that the younger generation had some talents and was still a member of his own school of Confucianism, so he was assigned a position of grain officer, but he didn't want to be so greedy and dare to misappropriate military rations.
If it is true, the eternal emperor on the stage will definitely not hesitate to turn his butcher's knife to the inside. All those who have anything to do with this matter will die!
Sure enough, Ying Zheng on the high platform withdrew his smile at the next moment.
"Treasurer Liang likes food so much? It seems that he is incorruptible. He doesn't have enough to eat in ordinary days, so he wants to take the opportunity to eat more!"
Looking at Ying Zheng's expressionless face, Liang Guan began to tremble all over, kept looking at Wang Wan at the front, and wanted the Prime Minister to save his life.
But before everyone could respond, Ying Zheng said coldly.
"Then I will meet the wishes of Treasurer Liang, and the nine nationalities will be satisfied! I will bury half a million soldiers of the Qin Dynasty with me!"
Without waiting for the grain officer to cry out in fear, the guards went straight into the court and dragged him down.
Wang Wan, with his head down, was stiff.
Giving you enough is not really to make you full, but to feed you with soil and water until you die!
After dealing with the culprit, Ying Zheng still didn't let Wang Wan get up and continued.
"The battle against Baiyue in the south has been defeated, and the Huns in the north are looking forward to it. If the people in the world know that our soldiers in the Qin Dynasty have defeated Baiyue because of corrupt officials, they can't be sure that there will be any trouble."
"I don't want everyone to know about this. It's too big."
The shivering courtiers felt better when they heard this.
It seems that your majesty is still worried. He doesn't want to kill too many people, but only to frighten the officials.
The ministers who had an interest in the matter were relieved.
"Liz! This matter is left to you to investigate in secret. All the people related to this matter can report the list after dealing with the death on the spot!"
The officials were shocked, so if they didn't make a big fuss, they would kill them directly?
Before the officials could react, they saw a man with firm eyes and stepped forward to salute Wang Wan.
"I will follow your orders and find out the culprit to comfort our soldiers and people in the Qin Dynasty!"
"Flutter! Flutter" Several courtiers who had a great relationship with the grain officials were paralyzed immediately.
Wang Wan on the side was immediately disheartened. He knew that his career was over. As for whether he could die well, it was up to His Majesty to see if he would leave a way of life for serving the Qin Dynasty for half his life.
After killing the grain officer, Ying Zheng is still angry and has no intention to go to court.
He waved his hand and asked Zhao Gao to pick up the bamboo slips and leave.
Zhao Gao respectfully handed back the bamboo slips, and seeing Ying Zheng going to demobilize the courtiers, he hurriedly whispered.
"Your Majesty! There are envoys of the Yueshi waiting outside the temple. They have been waiting for more than half a month!"
Ying Zheng didn't want to ignore it, but he thought that the Huns were flourishing in the north.
Now it is Yuezhi who is attracting fire. Once Yuezhi is killed, the Huns must look to the Qin Dynasty.
At that time, he will be attacked from both sides. Although he is not afraid of it, he does not have to suffer that loss.
But now he really didn't want to see the faces of these ministers. He couldn't help but want to cut them off for a second.
"Let's go! Go down and think about how Baiyue should be pacified, and present it to me tomorrow!"
The officials saluted and dispersed to the door.
"Call them up!"
Zhao Gao stepped back and shouted at the words.
"Xuan! The envoy of Yueshi has an audience!"
At this time, five or six people in strange clothes outside the hall looked at the food officer who was forced to swallow the soil by five strong men from the Forbidden Army nearby, and their eyes showed fear.
It is said that the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty swept the six countries, and he was a rare hero overlord for thousands of years. But he was also cruel, and killed the courtiers and people if he didn't agree.
Now it looks as if it is rumored.
Fortunately, they spent a lot of money to inquire about Shihuang's preferences before coming.
With the call, six people stepped into the lofty hall.
"Bloodo of Yueshi, see the first emperor!"
Ying Zheng nodded and was about to say something when he heard the envoy continue to say.
"Young Master Fu Su, gentle as jade, kind-hearted, respected teachers, respected people, really inherited many of His Majesty's advantages!"
As soon as this was said, the courtiers who had left unexpectedly stopped their steps and turned to look at Ying Zheng.
That expression seems to say that you can take it.
At the moment, even Ying Zheng could not help jumping from the corner of his eyes, but said with a smile.
"Did the messenger hear anything before he came?"
Bloem looked at Ying Zheng's cold face and smiled, thinking that the strategy he bought had worked.
An ancient emperor like Qin Shihuang has been tired of listening to his praise.
At this time, we should flatter him in another way.
That is to praise his son. Only from the perspective of a father can he feel happy.
Having made a good impression, let Daqin send troops to support the discussion.
"Whenever a foreign minister comes to the city to rest, he will surely hear the people's praise of Mr. Fu Su."
"Since you are only a teenager, the name of benevolence has spread all over the world..."
Ying Zheng's eyelids jump wildly.
The courtiers held back their laughter.
"Did the envoy go to a place called Quge?"
Bloem was stunned. The place where he bought news was really called Quge.
There are all kinds of strange gadgets sold there, and it is said that the boss behind is very powerful, even in the palace has a lot of face.
That's why they choose to go there and spend a lot of money to inquire about Ying Zheng's preferences.
It was seen through. I was embarrassed and hesitated.
Ying Zheng is helpless. Don't lose face in the court.
"Well, I will have a family dinner soon. Zhao Gao, you can accompany the envoy to attend it!"
Then he looked at the courtiers who stood in the palace to watch the play.
"Why? You Aiqing also want to attend my family dinner?"
As soon as the words came out, the officials immediately scattered, fearing that they would be dragged to accompany them when they were slow.
After being scolded all day, who would like to be dragged to socialize after work.
Just then, an eunuch hurried to the back of the temple.
Looking at the envoy beside him, he stopped talking to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng frowns.
"What are you hiding? Tell me!"
"Well, your majesty, the young master beat up the Taifu again. This time, the blood was all over the ground. The Taifu gave up dead or alive and shouted that he would go home to farm!"
