Li Che changed into a suit of armor and rode his Purple Horse to the military arena. Although Li Che's Strength was sixty-six points, which was much lower than Fan Kuai and the others, his Strength was above that of ordinary people. Most ordinary people's Strength was around fifty.
As for Ying Bu, whose Stamina and Strength exceeded 100, he was simply a ferocious beast.
Li Che had never expected his strength and stamina to exceed a hundred.
If Li Che really had to fight on the battlefield, Great Qin's fate would have ended long ago.
Zhang Han and the 5,000 Great Qin soldiers stood on the battlefield, their killing intent surging.
Li Che now had seven generals under him, Zhang Han, Han Xin, Ying Bu, Peng Yue, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and Cao Can. Of course, compared to these generals, Li Che relied more on Xiao He.
Xiao He was really excellent in internal affairs. He managed the administrative affairs of the Supreme Court in an orderly manner. Even though Li Che was not in the Supreme Court, the administrative affairs of the Supreme Court would not be relaxed.
At this moment, Han Xin, Ying Bu, and Peng Yue, who were still in plain clothes, stood together with Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and the others on the military drill ground. They seemed out of place.
Li Che rode past the seven men on his horse. The seven of them cupped their fists and said,""Greetings, Milord!"
"I asked you to come to the military arena today to compete. From today onwards, I will give each of you a hundred soldiers. Ten days later, here, I want you to compete!”
"I know that some of you have just arrived. If you are willing to enter the court and become an official, you can stay here. If you are not willing, you can step out of here!”Li Che pointed the horsewhip at the entrance of the military arena.
Li Che's voice was very resolute. Even though Han Xin, Yingbu, and the others were talented generals, if they did not serve, Li Che would not let them live. If they chose to leave now, Li Che would immediately order people to shoot them outside the drill ground!
If it can't be used by me, then there's no need to live!
Whether it was Han Xin or Ying Bu, Li Che would not show mercy when he killed.
……
"We are willing to follow you and serve you!”
Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and the others felt their blood boiling. When they had joined the army, they had wanted to become officials so that one day, they could return home with honor.
Han Xin, Ying Bu, and the others were also ambitious people. Although they were depressed now, once the dragon emerged from the abyss, they would soar to the sky.
At this moment, they were very excited.
The one on the tall horse was not a commoner; he was the chief justice of Great Qin Empire, one of the 13 most powerful people in Great Qin Empire!
The Great Qin Empire had nine ministers, and the Chief Justice was one of them.
It was their supreme honor that they could win the favor of the chief justice today!
……
Among these people, only one person did not speak.
Zhang Han didn't speak!
He was different from Fan Kuai and the others. Zhang Han was a Cavalry Commandant, responsible for the defense of Xianyang Palace. His salary was 2,000 dan, and he was a mid-level general in the Great Qin Empire. Before he followed Li Che, he had commanded 5,000 troops.
In Zhang Han's eyes, he was loyal to Great Qin and the First Emperor of Qin, not the Chief Justice.
Li Che looked at Zhang Han's expression. He knew that among this group of generals, Zhang Han was the one who would be the hardest to turn his back on, because he was following him under the orders of Emperor Qin. If Ying Zheng asked Zhang Han to go somewhere else, Zhang Han would leave without hesitation.
However, Li Che didn't have any intention of taking Zhang Han back. Now that Li Che had three generals who were more talented than Zhang Han, he didn't have much interest in Zhang Han.
In the military drill ground, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and the others began to select soldiers. Zhang Han was also helping Han Xin, Ying Bu, and the others to select soldiers. Zhang Han did not participate in this competition. As the highest commander, he would not participate.
……
Two days later.
While Li Che was polishing Han Xin and Ying Bu, an unexpected guest came to Xianyang Palace.
Chunyu Yue led a group of Confucian disciples to kneel on the bluestone square outside Xianyang Palace. A luxuriously dressed young man stood beside Chunyu Yue and the others. He also leaned forward towards Xianyang Palace, cupping his hands and bowing.
The massive square was wide, and Emperor Qin loved to inspect Great Qin's soldiers. Even if 100,000 people gathered, the square would not be crowded.
When Li Che went to court, he would usually drive to the square and park his carriage outside Xianyang Palace before taking off his shoes and going to the palace.
The palace gates of Xianyang Palace opened, and Zhao Gao walked out. He came to Chunyu Yue and the others, cupped his hands at the young man in luxurious clothes, and said,"Young Master, His Majesty has been working hard on the Xiongnu matter recently and has not rested well for the past few days. He has just fallen asleep not long ago. I hope Young Master can sympathize with His Majesty.”
Chunyu Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up and said,"Zhao Gao! Don't deceive the emperor! Go and see what Tingwei Li is doing. The honorable chief justice of the Great Qin Empire recruited a group of refugees, trained soldiers, and even bought the entire street with thousands of gold taels! My Xianyang Academy has repeatedly petitioned for funding, but we only received a few hundred gold!”
Chunyu Yue was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
In the past few days, he had been getting angrier and angrier. When Emperor Qin rewarded Li Che with ten thousand gold, Chunyu Yue had been dissatisfied. He had helped Young Master Fusu build the Academy and recruited followers for him, but he had only spent a few thousand gold.
Li Che, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, had bought an entire street in Xianyang City and trained soldiers in the city. It was a waste of money and food. Recently, he even found some refugees from the six dynasties and asked them to lead soldiers, which infuriated Chunyu Yue even more.
The Great Qin Empire had always maintained an evaluation system. If one wanted to become an official, one had to have a good reputation.
However, Li Che, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, appointed him to the Supreme Court and let him enjoy the salary of the Great Qin Empire, which infuriated Chunyu Yue.
"Lord Chunyu, don't talk nonsense. Whatever the chief justice does, he doesn't need to report to you.”
Zhao Gao looked at Chunyu Yue and comforted him.
However, Li Che had been in the limelight recently. If no one went up against Li Che, Zhao Gao's life would not be easy. Thinking of this, Zhao Gao thought to himself,""Although Chunyu Yue's official position isn't high, he represents the scholarly faction. If we sow discord between Chunyu Yue and Li Che, we might be able to deal a blow to Li Che.”
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao continued,""According to Great Qin's rules, you are three grades lower than Lord Li. If you fall out with Lord Li, it won't do you any good! Lord Li might convict you of offending your superior. Moreover, Lord Li Che has the Tai'a sword. If Lord Li uses the Tai'a sword to cut you, the King won't be able to say anything…"
"He dares! I, Chunyu Yue, will report Li Che to His Majesty even if I have to risk my life! Training soldiers in Xianyang City was clearly a rebellion! Young Master! This old man is going to break into the palace. Even if Your Majesty wants to punish me, I have to make a statement to Your Majesty!”
Chunyu Yue spoke fiercely, but he would not barge into the palace. He only wanted to encourage Fu Su to barge into the palace.
"Additionally, how many people does Li Che have in the Supreme Court? Young Master, go and see what kind of mob they are. Pei County's prison official Xiao He, an unremarkable prison guard, dared to serve as an official and enjoy seven hundred stones?”
"And Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, Yingbu, and Han Xin…Which one of them has been evaluated by the Imperial Court? 'These refugees have been taken into the Supreme Court by Li Che. Doesn't he look down on the official system of Great Qin?'”
These days, Chunyu Yue was very concerned about Li Che. Additionally, he had a good friend in the Supreme Court called Sun Shang, who was the right supervisor of the Supreme Court. He was also a high-ranking person in the Supreme Court. Besides Li Che, Sun Shang's official position was relatively high.
Sun Shang was also a scholar. After Emperor Qin rewarded Li Che, Chunyu Yue came to him and asked him to record everything Li Che did.
Whether it was Fan Kuai or Zhou Bo, Sun Shang had recorded when Li Che found them and when they came to see him.
