During the time when Li Che left Xianyang, Ying Zheng had also encountered many troublesome things.
Other than appeasing the nobles of Qin, there was also the Xiongnu's invasion. After the State of Zhao was destroyed by the Great Qin, the State of Zhao was left without a leader. The Xiongnu took the opportunity to invade the State of Zhao and plunder. When Ying Zheng heard the news, he immediately sent Meng Tian to lead 300,000 troops to the State of Zhao to resist the Xiongnu.
When the Xiongnu saw the arrival of the Qin army, they immediately retreated. Before they left, they set fire to many farm tools and grain that could not be taken away in time. Now that the people of Zhao were extremely cold and had little food, it was extremely difficult for them to survive the winter.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Che, who was in the palace. The haze that had been lingering for days had finally dissipated. Li Che, the Supreme Court Officer, had already promulgated the laws of Qin in the six states, and it had been a great success. Now, the six states had begun to unify the written language and laws, and Li Che had played an important role in this matter.
If the six countries could be pacified as soon as possible, they could gather their troops and fight the Xiongnu!
At the thought of this, Ying Zheng frowned again.
The Xiongnu people were different from the other six states. They had no fixed residence and came and went like the wind. Although Ying Zheng hated the Xiongnu more than the other six states, he was helpless against them.
Ying Zheng pushed the matter of Xiongnu invading Zhao out of his mind, looked at Li Che and said,""Minister Li, the Gu family misses you very much!”
In Xianyang Palace, when the civil and military officials heard Ying Zheng's straightforward attempt to win over Li Che, they were filled with the same thought: Li Che was going to become the most powerful minister in the imperial court.
Li Che, the dean of the nine ministers of the Supreme Court, might have already become the favorite of His Majesty. Additionally, in the heart of the king of Qin, Li Che's position could almost match that of his elder brother Li Si.
However, the chief justice of the Supreme Court had indeed made a great achievement. It only took him 3 months to issue the laws of Qin Dynasty to the six countries.
This was an extremely difficult task. Everyone knew that the Six Nations had just been destroyed, and the people of the Six Nations were loyal to the Six Nations. Li Che was able to issue the Qin laws to thousands of counties in the Six Nations within three months. This was a great contribution.
If it were them, not to mention three months, even if they were given three years, they might not be able to complete the task of issuing the law.
Li Che stood up and cupped his hands.""Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject has been thinking about Your Majesty's teachings day and night, not daring to delay for even a moment. This time, the Qin laws have already been issued, and this subject should retire after completing his mission.”
All the officials in the court looked at Li Che.
a famous scholar is more pure than Yue.
The royal family of Qin won.
Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Yi…
Old General Wang Jian had already become a rich man. He wore gold and jade ornaments on his hands and a belt around his waist. He was very eye-catching among the civil and military officials.
He had asked for these things from the King of Qin. Every time he went to war, he would ask for a reward.
Because only by asking for the reward would he not be feared by the King of Qin and would not cause suspicion between the monarch and his subjects.
Wang Jian wiped out the six dynasties and had made great contributions. As the elder of the four dynasties, Wang Jian knew his identity and the worries of the King of Qin…
When these civil and military officials looked at Li Che, he puffed out his chest and said again,""Your Majesty, I killed Zhao Nian's family in Chu. Zhao Nian's family was the royal family of the Qin country in the early years..."
Before Li Che's voice faded, Ying Zheng waved his hand and said,""Let's not talk about traitors! Zhao Nian's ancestor had defected to the Qin Country and served the Chu Country for a hundred years. He deserved to be killed!”
The officials were silent.
In the hall, Li Che shouted again,"" I have succeeded. Your Majesty, please take back the Tai'a Sword and hang it in the main hall. Your Majesty, please take back this Marquis of Wu 'an as well. My achievements are shallow, and I am not worthy of the title of Marquis…"
All the officials in the hall looked at Li Che with admiration. Li Che knew how to advance and retreat, and he was good at being an official. If he was greedy, he might attract the attention of the officials...
After hearing Li Che's words, Ying Zheng smiled and said,""Marquis Wu An is a reward given to you by the Gu family. How can you withdraw it just like that? I've already given you the Tai'e Sword, and I won't take it back. However, I do want to take back an order. Now that the six countries have been settled, and you've returned to Xianyang, don't hold a fake royal order…"
Ying Zheng confirmed Li Che's reward. If Li Che did not complete the law of the six states, the best choice would be to dismiss him from his official position. Otherwise, he might be beheaded.
Now that Li Che had completed the Qin laws of the six states, it was time to reward him.
Marquis Wuan and the Taia Sword were both rewards.
As for the right to hold a fake Royal Decree, it was better to take it back. Otherwise, not only would Ying Zheng not be able to rest easy, but Li Che would also be wary of it. After all, the power of holding a fake Royal Decree was too great. If it was not for the mission, it was better to not have this right.
"Li Che!"
"Your subject is here!"
"You have worked hard to enact the laws of Qin and the land of the Nine Prefectures. You will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and twenty pieces of brocade!”
Boom!
The court was shocked.
Reward of ten thousand gold!
This was definitely a generous reward. Normally, ten gold was already a high reward. Now that he was rewarded with ten thousand gold, it was truly a windfall.
"This subject thanks Your Majesty!"
……
After Ying Zheng rewarded Li Che.
The civil and military officials began to discuss.
The first administrative task was completed.
Li Che returned to Xianyang and rewarded him.
The second administrative matter began to be discussed.
The Huns invaded Zhao.
How to deal with the enemy?
Meng Tian led 300,000 troops to the land of Zhao. The Xiongnu retreated. Although the Xiongnu retreated, this could not be considered a victory. This was because the Xiongnu plundered the grain and treasures of the land of Zhao. Before they left, they destroyed many farming tools.
These farm tools were burned and the ironware on them were taken away by the Xiongnu.
Other than jewelry, the Xiongnu people valued iron and bronze ware the most. Compared to bronze ware, they preferred iron ware. Zhao was a military power, so they used iron ware for farming tools.
In the past, Zhao existed in Zhao, and when Zhao fought with the Xiongnu, Qin did not need to worry. Now that Zhao had been destroyed, Zhao belonged to Great Qin. The Xiongnu had repeatedly invaded Zhao, so it was naturally a huge problem for Qin!
……
How to resolve the threat of the Xiongnu was the most important matter discussed in the court today.
"Dear ministers, in your opinion, how should we resolve the problem of the Xiongnu and lay down the foundation for our Great Qin?”
Sitting on the throne, Ying Zheng looked at all the officials in the court and said.
For a time, all the officials in the court were silent.
The strength of the Xiongnu was obvious to all.
The Xiongnu had been at war with the State of Qin and the State of Zhao for hundreds of years. The State of Qin naturally knew how strong the Xiongnu were. Not only were they good at riding and shooting, but they were also as cunning as foxes. After the State of Qin destroyed the State of Yiqu, the Xiongnu became even stronger.
When the Yiqu Kingdom was strong, they often fought with the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu won less and lost more. Later on, the Yiqu Kingdom was destroyed by the Qin Kingdom. The Xiongnu Kingdom was unimpeded and repeatedly invaded the Qin Kingdom, causing the Qin Kingdom to be extremely annoyed.
Looking at the silent officials, Ying Zheng said,""Li Si, you're the Prime Minister of Great Qin. Tell me, how should we deal with the Xiongnu and protect the eternal foundation of Great Qin?”
" Your Majesty," Li Si stood up and said," I believe that the Xiongnu will not dare to invade the border if we send a general who is good at guarding the border with 200,000 troops.”
"Our Great Qin has a vast territory, and we need to defend more than 500 kilometers. Could it be that they had to send 200,000 soldiers to guard every place that was under attack? Even if Great Qin had many soldiers, it would still be difficult to make ends meet!”
Hearing Li Si's advice, Ying Zheng was very dissatisfied.
