In the main hall of the Qin Palace, the King of Qin had yet to arrive, but all the civil and military officials had already arrived.
Ying Tianyu slowly took off his shoes and walked into the hall, greeting the military officials.
"Yo, General Zhang, how is your old body?”
"Great Shu Chang, how is that horse?”
"General Li, we have recently seized two cities in Chu.”
......
"Young Master, the two jars of wine you gave me last time were really good.”
"Young Master, the two Xiongnu horse slaves you gave me were really talented. They raised my horse very well.”
"Young Master, I haven't seen you for a year, and you've grown much more handsome.”
The group of military officers chatted with Ying Tianyu, exchanging pleasantries and getting to know him better.
Unlike the military officials, the civil officials 'reactions were somewhat cold.
Li Si, Feng Quji, and the other leaders of the civil officials, as well as the officials from the Legalism School, stood silently at the side.
"Ying Tianyu, are you really that arrogant?”Lord Chang Ping stood at the head of the officials and did not turn his head. However, he knew everything behind him.
Zhao Gao watched this scene with cold eyes and was surprised. Since when had Ying Tianyu become so influential among Great Qin's Generals?
"Hey, isn't this Lord Chang Ping? How have you been?"
Ying Tianyu was conferred the title of Anxi Jun and was seated near the front of the court. At this moment, he walked up to Changping Jun and greeted him.
Lord Chang Ping cupped his hands and didn't even look at Ying Tianyu. He said coldly,""I'm fine."
"Tianyu, you're here. Did you have a good journey?”Fu Su, the young master beside Lord Chang Ping, greeted him.
"Big brother. I didn't have a good journey! Before I entered Xianyang Royal City, I encountered a group of assassins.”
Fu Su lowered his body to support Ying Tianyu. He looked a little nervous. He looked at Ying Tianyu, who was still alive and kicking, and let out a sigh of relief." Tianyu must have been solved."”
"Thank you for your concern, Big Brother! However, these assassins had finally confessed that they had been ordered by Lord Chang Ping and Zhao Gao to assassinate this young master.”
Ying Tianyu shouted out the last sentence. All the officials in the hall could hear him.
That's right! This was framing, blatant framing!
With Chang Ping-Jun and Zhao Gao's shrewdness, how could they do such a stupid thing?
At that moment, Great Qin's two traitors looked like they were struggling and hesitating. They also hated Ying Tianyu to the point of gnashing their teeth.
The next moment, Lord Chang Ping was fearless and put on a righteous look."This old man's heart is clear, the bright moon can prove it. Since Young Master has said so, this old man is willing to confront those assassins.”
However, Zhao Gao was different. He hurriedly knelt down and said," Young Master, even if I ate the guts of a bear or leopard, I wouldn't dare to send someone to assassinate you. Please investigate."”
The acting skills of the two traitors were realistic, and their expressions were sincere. However, in their hearts, they wanted to eat Ying Tianyu up.
"The king has arrived!"
Ying Zheng walked into the hall and knelt on the throne. After hearing about the dispute in the hall, he said to Ying Tianyu,""Tianyu, you said that those assassins were ordered by Lord Chang Ping and Zhao Gao. Do you have any evidence?”
Ying Tianyu waved his hand." Father, those assassins told me before they died. They killed themselves when I wasn't paying attention."”
In this case, there was no evidence.
Both the Lord of Chang Ping and Zhao Gao knew that the assassination had been carried out by the Jixia men of sacrifice of the Qi Kingdom, but they could not say it out loud. Otherwise, how could they explain the fact that they had stood by and watched despite knowing that someone was trying to assassinate the Great Qin's Young Master? Looking at Ying Tianyu's smug expression, their understanding of Ying Tianyu's shamelessness reached a new height.
However, the two of them were shrewd people. After calming down, they were shocked. Could it be that Ying Tianyu had discovered something about their hostility?
There was silence in the hall. To be exact, they did not know what to say. In a sense, the Lord of Changping was second only to Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister of Great Qin. Although Zhao Gao's position was not high among the civil and military officials, he controlled the Hall of Governmental Affairs and the Network, so he was a real power. Ying Tianyu attacked these two the moment he came back, but he didn't have any evidence. This really confused the civil and military officials in the hall.
"But…"
Usually, the plot needed a twist at this time. Ying Tianyu was no exception. He said 'but'.
"But your son will not believe the nonsense of those assassins.”Ying Tianyu said indignantly.
"The two of you have received great kindness from Great Qin and are trusted by Father. How could you do such a thing that is worse than beasts? Birds, insects, and ants know kindness, so why would the two sirs collude with foreign enemies to kill their son and harm the interests of Great Qin?”
Ying Tianyu's words seemed to be defending the two of them, but when the words reached the ears of the two traitors, they didn't feel good. The more they heard, the more awkward it became. However, they could not refute it and could only endure it.
"In that case, let's leave this matter at that!”Brother Zheng concluded and put an end to this matter. There was an even more important matter at hand.
Attack Chu!
All the officials were well aware of this matter. However, the Chu Country was vast, and without enough soldiers, it would be difficult to pacify it. The ministers also did not have any good methods.
Ying Zheng's tiger-like eyes roamed around the group of generals before finally landing on Wang Jian.
"In your opinion, how many men do you need to attack Chu?”
Wang Jian walked out of the platoon and said,"Reporting to the king, the old general needs 600,000 troops!"”
The ministers were shocked. 600,000 was almost the strength of the entire country. Wang Jian this old man really dared to speak!
After Ying Zheng heard this, he was hesitant. Firstly, which ruler would be able to rest assured if he handed over 600,000 troops to one person? The second is that a good fighter does not consider victory, but first consider defeat. If the 600,000 troops failed to attack Chu, then within a few years or even ten years, Qin would no longer have the strength to attack Chu. Brother Zheng had to be cautious.
"Hahaha! General Wang Jian was really old. His spirit was not as high as before either.”The laughter rang out. It was Lord Chang Ping's voice.
He said,"I'm from Chu. No one knows the situation in Chu better than me." In my opinion, 200,000 troops are enough to pacify Chu, they just lack a brave and decisive general.”
Wang Jian did not defend himself and returned to his own line. Lord Chang Ping's goading method was indeed effective. There was no lack of bellicose youths among the Qin generals.
The valiant general Li Xin walked out," I only need 200,000 men to conquer Chu and break Shouchun.”
Ying Tianyu looked at Wang Jian, who was still calm and collected. This old fox must have sensed something, which was why he asked for 600,000 people.
He then looked at Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne and revealed a happy expression. Clearly, he did not realize Wang Jian's intentions. Chang Pingjun's plan was acceptable to Ying Zheng. Firstly, 200,000 troops were not too much for Ying Zheng, so the burden was not that great. Secondly, even if they failed to conquer Chu this time, it was not an unbearable loss.
Ying Tianyu naturally knew that in history, this attack on Chu was a failure. Li Xin's 200,000 strong army suffered heavy losses. Later on, Wang Jian led another 600,000 troops to finally pacify Chu. However, for Ying Tianyu who needed manpower, how could he let the State of Qin suffer such a loss?
"Your son requests battle!"
Ying Tianyu walked out of the formation and spoke in a carefree manner under the gazes of the officials.
Ying Zheng wanted to agree to Li Xin's request, but when he saw Ying Tianyu, he couldn't help but become interested and asked,""Tianyu, how many men do you need?”
"Your son will lead three thousand cavalry and will definitely be able to break through Shouchun!”
Silence, a pin-drop silence. The people present were all elites of the current era. However, at this moment, in the huge Qin Emperor's palace, these elites were all stunned on the spot. They wondered if they had heard wrongly or if the person in front of them was a madman!
