(These two chapters were updated yesterday.)
Empress Dowager Xia looked at the situation in front of her and Empress Dowager Hua Yang's gaze. She began to feel afraid. Although she did not understand why the ministers would quarrel here over a small matter, she was keenly aware that she seemed to have caused a big trouble.
"Why don't we forget about this matter?" she asked timidly.”
As soon as he said that, the ministers lowered their heads helplessly.
"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Hua Yang finally couldn't help but berate. Empress Dowager Xia was so scared that she shrank back again and hid behind Empress Dowager Hua Yang completely, without any sense of existence.
"Who else thinks that Lord Chang 'an's fief can be expanded?”Zhao Mu's gaze swept across the ministers present, but they remained silent.
"Very good, then only Lord Fan Yuqi thinks so. Lord Fan Yuqi's loyalty is praiseworthy. Not only does he have to take care of the state affairs, but he also has to take care of the king's family affairs.”
As Zhao Mu spoke, he looked at Lord Chang 'an. Lu Buwei's gaze was fixed on Lord Chang' an. The two's gazes were like sharp swords, making Lord Chang 'an feel that as long as he said yes, the two big shots opposite him would find an opportunity to kill him.
His body trembled, and he forced himself to reveal a smile that was uglier than crying.""No, I'm not willing."
After saying this, he heaved a huge sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to look at his only supporter, Fan Yuqi.
Zhao Mu laughed and said to Ying Zheng,""The King decreed that the Lord of Chang 'an resigned because of his lack of virtue. It's really a beautiful story in history. Don't you think so, Prime Minister?”
" You're right, Lord Zhao." Lu Buwei clapped and laughed." It's a beautiful story."”
Fan Yuqi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He looked at the guilty look on Lord Chang 'an's face and trembled with anger. He wanted to curse Lu Buwei and Zhao Mu for manipulating the government, but he didn't dare to. He didn't dare to bet all his life.
"Alright, we're almost done here.”Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Empress Dowager Hua Yang, who was not young, felt quite tired. She waved her hand casually and got up to drive back to the palace.
Empress Dowager Xia followed closely behind. When she passed by Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu whispered,""The Empress Dowager had better remember clearly that the harem cannot interfere with politics.”
Empress Dowager Xia's body trembled. No matter how stupid she was, she knew how much power Zhao Mu represented in Great Qin. She also knew how much power she had as Empress Dowager, so she hurriedly followed behind Empress Dowager Hua Yang.
She just wanted to help her beloved grandson get some land. She never thought that such a small matter would lead to such a big matter.
She was even more aware that her shrewdness and brains were not enough to participate in this. However, on second thought, she felt a sense of grief and indignation. She was the dignified Empress Dowager, but even an official could threaten her!!
What was the point of being the empress dowager? What was the difference between her and the little concubine who hid in the residence of Lord An Guokang and never left her room?
However, she never thought that Zhao Mu would dare to remind her like this. Why didn't he warn Empress Dowager Hua Yang? Wasn't Empress Dowager Hua Yang interfering in politics?
Weak people were always aware of the world's malice towards them, but they never thought about why they were so malevolent and suppressed by others. They did not work hard and blindly complained. This was the greatest sin of the weak.
After the two Empress Dowager left Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Mu took off his sword, Tianwen, from his waist, and walked forward, handing it to Zhao Gao, who then passed it to Ying Zheng. He said lightly,""The Tianwen Sword has been with me for three years. It has killed the giant of the Mo family and severely injured the general of the Chu country, Xiang Yan. Today, Your Majesty has succeeded to the throne, so I present the Tianwen Sword to Your Majesty.”
This was the first time that Zhao Mu had mentioned Ying Zheng's goal in front of his ministers, which was to sweep across the six states and end the four hundred years of chaos since the Spring and Autumn Period!
His words shocked Lu Buwei, Kui Lin, Yang Duan He, and the others. Although these people had also thought of unifying the six states, when they thought about the difficulty, their hearts began to pound. In the end, they only needed to maintain the Qin State's overlord status.
Therefore, they were both shocked and terrified by Zhao Mu's words. The war was a matter of life and death. The price and time needed to unify the six states would be unprecedented!
However, before they could object, they saw Wang Jian, Meng Ao, Duke Hun and the rest bow and say,"We are willing to die for Your Majesty!"
Generals yearned to make contributions, and now, Zhao Mu had clearly given them a great opportunity to conquer the Six Nations. Regardless of time or the battles they had to fight, it would give them countless opportunities to make contributions.
Therefore, Lu Buwei didn't know what to say when he saw the fanaticism in their eyes.
Ying Zheng took the Tianwen sword. He naturally knew what this sword meant to his teacher. Ever since he could remember, this sword had been accompanying his teacher. It was this sword that his teacher had relied on to protect himself and survive in the State of Zhao.
Now that it was in his hands, he heard that there was a Wind Beard Sword Manual that ranked the famous swords in the world. This Heaven Asking Sword should be number one, and it could only be number one. In the past, Tianwen had killed wanderers and enemy generals.
And now and in the future, the Tianwen Sword would only kill one kind of person-the king!
"I will not disappoint Teacher and use this sword to pacify the world!”Ying Zheng stood up and raised his sword, his voice tender yet firm.
"I'm willing to die for the king! May Great Qin unify the six countries for thousands of generations!”The ministers bowed and saluted, their voices like thunder.
Only Zhao Mu was standing upright like a pine tree. He was wearing a moon-white robe and had a smile on his face. The ancient emperor who raised his sword was his student, and the unification of China would be realized earlier than history under his push.
Lu Buwei sighed. Everything that Zhao Mu had said today was enough to win the military over to his side. It seemed that if he wanted to check Zhao Mu, he would have to start with the civil officials.
