The next morning.
Coincidentally, it was the Qin State's court meeting that was held every five days.
Ying Zheng was dressed in the royal robes, with a crown on his head and a jade necklace covering his face. The Purple Myrtle Heavenly Sword hung from his waist as he sat high up on the throne.
In the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, civil and military officials stood on both sides.
"Everyone, do you know that two days ago, the five countries joined forces and sent 300 assassins to break into the capital of my Qin country, Xianyang, to assassinate me?”
Ying Zheng sat high up on the throne, his eyes peering through the jade string at the civil and military officials of the State of Qin standing below him.
"Your Majesty, we understand."
The civil and military officials of the State of Qin replied in unison.
In fact, after the assassination two days ago.
Many officials received the news and came to the palace to visit Ying Zheng.
Seeing that Ying Zheng was fine, he could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief.
After all, the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was the cornerstone of the Qin State. If their King of Qin was successfully assassinated, it would be the end of the Qin State.
"Among these assassins who tried to assassinate me, there is no lack of Blood Cloak Marquis, Yan Chunjun, Han Country's Great General Ji Wuye, Yan Country's Crown Prince Yan Dan, and other high-ranking officials and nobles of the five countries.”
Then, Ying Zheng asked.
Although he had been furious about the assassination attempt from the five nations, he had kept it to himself.
At this moment, it was time to settle the score with the five countries.
After all, he was the ruler of a country.
His anger was the anger of the Qin Empire.
The rage of a country would require a country war and millions of corpses.
He wanted the five nations to know the price of assassinating him.
"Your Majesty, the five countries have gone too far in assassinating their emperors. I feel that the Qin country should immediately send a letter of credence and let the five countries give a reasonable explanation for this assassination.”
"If not, my Qin Country's army will arrive at the city in a few days.”
Hearing this, Prime Minister Wang Wan, who was the head of the officials, stood out and reported.
"Your Majesty, I think we should immediately send troops to attack the five countries.”
Old General Meng Ao, who had been defeated once before and wanted to start a war with the five nations to make up for his mistakes, spoke.
"Alright, then pass on my order. In a few days, we will send 450,000 troops to attack the Yan Country, Han Country, and Zhao Country.”
Then, Ying Zheng gave the order.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, who will be the commander of this war?”
At this moment, Imperial Censor Li Si stood up.
"This time, General Wang He, General Meng Ao, and General Wang Jian will be the commanders.”
Ying Zheng blurted out without thinking.
Wang He and Meng Ao were both old. This Kingdom War against Yan, Han, and Zhao was probably the last war they could participate in in their lives.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Upon hearing Ying Zheng's arrangement, no one in the court objected to it, and all of them shouted out in unison.
After all, it was Wang He who had single-handedly destroyed the Wei Kingdom.
Old General Meng Ao had been defeated by the alliance army of the five nations in the previous battle.
However, being defeated by the five nations with a force several times greater than theirs wasn't shameful.
Moreover, the Qin Country only lost tens of thousands of people in that battle. To the Qin Country, it could only be considered a small defeat.
In comparison, the cities that Old General Meng Ao had plundered from the enemy country for the Qin Country were nothing.
Although Wang Jian was young, everyone had seen his contributions when he was Wang He's deputy general in the battle against Wei.
"This old minister will obey."
After hearing Ying Zheng's order, Wang He and Meng Ao quickly stood up to receive it.
They had not expected that the Emperor would continue to hand such an important matter to the two of them, who were both old generals.
Especially Meng Ao.
He was pleasantly surprised and touched by the Emperor's trust in him.
One had to know that he had just lost a huge battle and caused tens of thousands of Qin soldiers to die in Wei.
However, the King of Qin was still willing to trust him.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will not betray your trust.”
Meng Ao bowed to Ying Zheng with a solemn expression.
"Get up, Meng Qing. I know your abilities.”
Ying Zheng nodded.
"Oh right, this time, besides sending an army to attack these three countries, I will also send experts from the Qin country to assassinate their monarch.”
Then, Ying Zheng sneered.
Since they had the guts to plot to assassinate him, they had to be prepared to be assassinated by others.
He had never understood what the heads of the five emperors were thinking.
Since they could send people to assassinate Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng could naturally send people to assassinate them as well.
Assassination.
The Qin country was simply the ancestor of the six countries.
Qin has a net.
Previously, after being reformed by Ying Zheng, the net was only used as a spy organization to assassinate the generals guarding the city and the generals leading the troops during the war.
Now that they had already shed all pretense of cordiality, he could not be blamed.
Furthermore, he had the Yin-Yang School that he had just joined.
The five elders, the left and right guardians, and the vice-leader of the Yin-Yang School were all top experts in the world.
Donghuang Taiyi might have submitted to Ying Zheng so easily.
That was because Ying Zheng was too strong.
The Eastern Emperor Taiyi was one of the few experts in the world.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, all the officials of the State of Qin cried out in unison.
They did not think that there was anything wrong with Ying Zheng's action, because the assassination was initiated by the five nations.
"Donghuang Taiyi, Zhao Gao, I order the two of you to lead the top assassins of the Network and the experts of the Yinyang School to the Yan Country to assassinate Yan Wangxi and Han Wangan respectively.”
Then, Ying Zheng gave the order.
"Yes."
Zhao Gao was the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, and Donghuang Taiyi was the deputy commander of the Black Ice Platform. The morning court of the State of Qin was also one of the officials.
Hearing Ying Zheng's order, Zhao Gao and Donghuang Taiyi stood out and responded in unison.
East Emperor Taiyi was still wearing his black robe, which Ying Zheng had specially approved for him to wear in the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, there is an old man outside the palace who claims to be a descendant of Lu Ban.”
At this moment, a eunuch reported from outside the door.
