What Ying Zheng had done.
It was like throwing a huge rock into the peaceful capital of Qin, Xianyang.
Not only did it shock the entire Qin country, it also shocked the other six countries.
The thirteen-year-old young king of Qin State, King Ying Zheng, was fighting for power with Prime Minister Lu Buwei. In front of all the civil and military officials in Xianyang Palace, he directly reprimanded him as a traitor of the country, dismissed Lu Buwei's official position on the spot, and even detained him in prison.
This matter spread throughout the entire Qin country and the other six countries at the fastest speed.
"Your Majesty, it's bad news. We've just received news from the front lines that the Yan, Zhao, Han, Chu, and Wei Five Nations have joined forces and defeated General Meng Ao south of the Yellow River.”
A few days later, Ying Zheng received the news from the border in the palace.
"Oh?"
Ying Zheng, who was reading the memorials, raised his head from the table, frowned, and looked at Zhao Gao, who had rushed in and bowed down, holding the secret report with both hands and holding it high above his head.
Ying Zheng had thought that Zhao Gao, the notorious traitor and eunuch, had not entered the palace yet.
Coincidentally, he had the idea of giving it a try and casually asked in the palace.
Only then did he know that Zhao Gao had already entered the palace.
However, he was just a little eunuch in the palace, serving as a nameless student of history. It just so happened that Ying Zheng was short of someone who could be ordered around, so he directly promoted Zhao Gao to the position of Chief of the Zhongche Prefecture and kept him by his side to do things.
As for Zhao Gao changing his decree in the future and stealing the Qin country, causing his eternal emperor industry to be destroyed?
Not to mention that he was only thirteen years old this year, and it was still far from his death in the future.
Even if he was really going to die in the future, he would just kill Zhao Gao in advance.
This was Tian Zi!
This was the Emperor!
Golden Words!
Heavenly might was unpredictable!
Since Ying Zheng already knew what Zhao Gao was going to do in the future, he would not be able to do anything in his hands.
"How are the losses of our Qin country in this battle?"
Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold as he asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, in this battle, General Meng Ao led 50,000 soldiers, and more than 35,000 of them died, nearly 10,000 were injured, and 3,000 were captured.”
Zhao Gao answered carefully.
When he heard that 50,000 Qin troops had gone to the State of Wei, and only 5,000 had returned, he felt a wave of anger rising in his heart. He had nowhere to vent it.
He didn't expect that his goal of unifying the six states would be thwarted before it even began.
Moreover, it was at the cost of the lives of 50,000 Qin soldiers.
"What about Meng Ao?"
Ying Zheng asked again.
"General Meng is rushing to Xianyang to apologize to His Majesty.”
Zhao Gao reported truthfully.
"However, Your Majesty, please forgive me for being blunt. I feel that General Meng should not be blamed for the defeat in this battle. After all, no one expected the five countries to choose to join forces.”
Zhao Gao carefully observed Ying Zheng for a while. When he saw that there was no anger on Ying Zheng's face when he spoke, he continued to speak.
"Although General Meng is powerful, he only has 50,000 soldiers this time. He can't fight against the five kingdoms alliance army, which has 300,000 soldiers.”
Zhao Gao's remonstrance made Ying Zheng's anger subside slightly.
Only then did he remember that under the hard work of the previous kings, the Qin country was already the leader of the seven countries.
These few years, the Qin country had been fighting in the south and north, and the other six countries were all afraid.
At this time, it was understandable for the other six states to join forces to resist Qin in order to protect themselves.
"It's just a struggle before death.”
Ying Zheng snorted coldly.
The Six Nations would be destroyed!
The so-called alliance to resist Qin was just the last hope of the other six countries.
However, he felt that if he wanted to destroy the Six Nations, he would definitely not be able to rely on brute force. He needed other strategies to assist him.
"How's Lu Buwei's condition in prison these days?”
Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao again.
Lu Buwei had many henchmen, and seeing his master fall, he wouldn't let it go.
Over the past few days, more than thirty ministers had submitted letters to plead for Lu Buwei, and he had already beheaded them.
"Your Majesty, according to your orders, a group of Qin State cavalry has been sent to guard the outer perimeter of the Inner Prison. Anyone who dares to approach the Inner Prison within a hundred steps will be shot to death by crossbows.”
"In addition, the thousands of guests in the Prime Minister's residence have all been expelled.”
Zhao Gao replied.
"I understand."
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
He had given Lu Buwei a chance before, but since Lu Buwei didn't know how to cherish it, he wouldn't give him another chance.
"Teacher, come out."
After Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng said to the person behind the curtain not far away.
Then, a young man with disheveled hair and a bronze sword in his hand walked out from behind the curtain. He had a calm gaze and a dignified aura.
"Ge Nia greets Your Majesty."
After walking out, Ge Nia bowed to Ying Zheng.
This youth was Sword Saint Ge Nia.
He was not only the number one swordsman in the State of Qin, but also Ying Zheng's sword arts teacher and his first guard.
Ying Zheng had just transmigrated, and after learning that Ge Nia was by his side, he knew that this world was not just a simple historical world.
"Teacher, you are my sword arts teacher. There is no need to be so polite.”
Ying Zheng raised his head and smiled.
Ge Nia didn't dare to underestimate this person. He had watched Qin Wang grow up since he was a child, only thirteen years old.
This was because the other party, at the age of thirteen, had easily toppled the powerful Prime Minister Lu Buwei of the State of Qin with just one court meeting.
News of this matter quickly spread throughout the six states.
This caused a huge commotion in the entire Six Nations.
Not only that.
He had been away for a month, and when he returned, he realized that Qin Wang's strength seemed to have improved greatly. Even he could not figure out Qin Wang's background.
If he had not watched the King of Qin grow up and knew the habits of the King of Qin, he would have suspected that this King of Qin was someone else in disguise.
"Oh right, Teacher, you said that you wanted to meet Junior Brother in Han. Did it go smoothly?”
Before Ge Nia could answer, Ying Zheng asked again.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Ge Nia has successfully met with Junior Brother.”
Hearing Ying Zheng's question, these thoughts flashed across Ge Nia's mind for a moment before he answered.
"Since teacher has met junior brother and fulfilled his wish, that's good.”
Ying Zheng nodded.
Even though this world might not be just a simple historical world.
However, with Ge Nia, the best swordsman of the Qin State, helping him, Ying Zheng felt that it was only a matter of time before he could unify the other six states.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
The reason why the Qin Country could become the leader of the seven countries that had allied the other six countries was not just because of Ge Nia.
