Under the leadership of the Left and Right Prime Ministers, Feng Quji and Li Si, the main civil and military officials of the court went to meet the Emperor. Meanwhile, the Political Affairs Hall was planning to mobilize troops from Lingnan…
"Zhang Qing, Xuanbei Yamen Imperial Army General Li Cunxiao is here to see you.”
Ying Che had already instructed Li Si to delay the Right Prime Minister and the others, so he didn't waste any time and said immediately.
It was precisely because the Lingnan incident was so important that it was related to the rise and fall of Great Qin and indirectly affected the formation of prestige that it developed into a debate.
"Here!"
Zhang Han, who had been guarding outside the palace loyally, or more accurately, protecting the Great Qin Emperor, replied.
" Greetings, Your Majesty…"
Because the imperial guards of the North Yamen were guarding the palace, the encampment was not far from the Political Hall. It did not take long for Li Cunxiao to appear.
"Li Qing, no need for formalities."
"I have written about Your Majesty."
After a round of basic etiquette, Li Cunxiao thanked the emperor and sat on the right seat.
This meant that Great Qin's soldiers were the most respected and held a relatively dominant position.
"Li Qing, from today onwards, we will set off immediately. As the representative of the central government, we will head to Lingnan to meet the commander Ren Xiao and the deputy commander Zhao Tuo.”
Li Cunxiao's loyalty was enough to make people feel at ease. In addition, time was tight. Ying Che didn't waste any time and immediately got to the main topic.
Li Cunxiao himself was brave and resourceful. He was almost invincible in every battle. If it wasn't for Li Keyong's own death, Zhu Wen wouldn't have become the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please…"
Li Cunxiao said with a serious expression.
"Bring an edict from me to Lingnan and recall 200,000 soldiers who are staying in Lingnan!”
"If Vice Commander Zhao Tuo tries to stop me, I will allow you to kill him on the spot.”
Gradually, when he reached the second half of the sentence, Ying Che's tone turned cold.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will do my best to transfer 200,000 Lingnan soldiers back to Xianyang.”
After hearing the words just now, Li Cunxiao, who understood the situation, cupped his hands and replied.
The 500 Flying Tigers were all cavalry. With one person and two horses, they could reach Lingnan at the fastest speed.
"Your Majesty…"
"If the Lingnan Army Corps agrees to transfer back 200,000 soldiers, who will continue to be the commander of Lingnan and the general of the army returning to the north?”
Li Cunxiao thought of a key question and asked.
"Old General Ren Xiao will continue to be the commander, and Zhao Tuo will be the commander of the returning army. If they discover any disloyalty, they will be killed on the spot.”
Ying Che didn't forget Zhao Tuo's reaction in history. He didn't hesitate and spoke in the most decisive way.
In the original history, Great Qin was facing a life-and-death situation, but Zhao Tuo did not send reinforcements and instead blocked the path north.
"Here, this subject will immediately lead the army to Lingnan!”
Li Cunxiao picked up an imperial edict from the side of the wooden table and couldn't help but shake his body as he accepted the order.
"Your Majesty, the Left and Right Prime Ministers and the Nine Ministers have come to see you…"
Not long after Li Cunxiao left, Zhang Han asked again with a hint of doubt.
The coronation ceremony and the funeral of the First Emperor had already passed. Unless the Great Qin was in danger, there wouldn't be such a big battle.
"Xuan…"
Ying Che didn't find it strange that the main civil and military officials of the court had come. He clearly said the word 'Xuan'.
"Here!"
Understanding his duty, Zhang Han suppressed the doubts in his heart and conveyed the order that the emperor had just given to everyone.
"Greetings, Your Majesty…"
Seeing that the emperor had already taken his seat, it was obvious that he knew that they were coming. Wang Jian, Feng Quji, and the other civil and military officials were startled before they spoke.
"Everyone, please take your seats."
Glancing at the Prime Ministers and the head of the Nine Ministers, Ying Che thought of Li Cunxiao who was about to leave and said lightly.
"We thank Your Majesty."
The civil and military officials who had entered the hall sat down according to their positions.
The Pre-Qin period was not like the later dynasties. The civil and military officials did not have to stand at all. Instead, the discussions between the monarch and his subjects were all seated.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask what was mentioned in the bamboo slips from the Lingnan Army Corps.”
It was rare for the Lingnan Army Corps to send bamboo slips over. When they did, it meant that something big had happened. Right Prime Minister Feng Quji asked directly.
"What did the Lingnan Army Corps mention?”
The rest of the civil and military officials looked at the emperor, wanting to understand the contents of the bamboo slips. State affairs were not child's play.
"Other than mourning the Holy Ancestor and First Emperor, the overall situation in Lingnan has stabilized and entered a relatively stable period.”
The civil and military officials present were Great Qin's elites, and there was no lack of civil and military officials who had founded the country. They had the right to know, so Ying Che did not hide anything.
"A relatively stable period…"
After carefully listening to each word, Wang Jian, Feng Quji, and the others first muttered to themselves before realizing some important information.
During the time of the first emperor, the time had come to resolve the Lingnan problem.
"I wonder how Your Majesty will respond?"
Suddenly recalling some important detail, Wang Jian raised his head and looked at Tian Zi on the imperial steps.
The other civil and military officials also reacted quickly and looked at Tian Zi. Clearly, they had thought of something.
"Regarding the Lingnan Army Corps, We have already sent a general with both wisdom and courage to represent the Central Court in handling this matter.”
The civil and military officials present would hear about this sooner or later. Ying Che had no reason to hide it and slowly said.
Right now, the regime was changing, and General Ren Xiao was still alive. Especially when Lingnan had entered a stable stage, they had to cut the Gordian knot quickly.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of utmost importance. Why didn't you summon us for a discussion?”
The thing he was most worried about had happened. Feng Quji's heart sank as he spoke bluntly.
Of course, if it wasn't for the previous debate, they would have already started arguing. How could they be so calm?
"The Emperor is still so meticulous. No wonder Li Si appeared directly. He was trying to buy time to deal with the Lingnan incident.”
Li Xin, one of the nine ministers, suddenly realized that Tian Zi was too fast and decisive.
