In the morning, Ying Zheng attended the morning court session, and returned to his bedroom after dealing with some heavy affairs.
The ministers in the court were really puzzled by Ying Zheng's sudden display of ability and experience. All these changes had happened too quickly.
Where did the king go in a year? Could it be that he was looking for a wise person to learn and was now proficient in the way of governing the country?
After returning to his bedroom, he sat behind the table. Ying Zheng ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to leave, then said,""Have you found those people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow appeared behind Ying Zheng and said in a low voice,""Reporting to the king, the person has been found and is on the way to the palace.”
Ying Zheng nodded and closed his eyes to rest. The black shadow behind him also disappeared quickly.
It had been half a month since he led the Network Assassin Group. The current assassin group was completely in his hands. After Zhao Gao's death, the assassin regiment was in chaos for a period of time. But as time passed, Ying Zheng had gained complete control of the regiment, and Zhao Gao's influence had gradually disappeared.
However, the Six Sword Slaves were still a little troublesome. The six of them were one, but they were independent and had a flamboyant personality.
They would absolutely obey Zhao Gao. Even though Zhao Gao was already dead, they would not easily obey Ying Zheng.
It was a perfect killing machine, but unfortunately, he could not fully control it.
At noon, a eunuch walked in from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, Li Si and the others request an audience."
Ying Zheng opened his eyes, which sparkled with a bright light, and said in a deep voice,""Announce!"
"Summon Li Si and the others!"
The eunuch went out of the door and shouted. A group of ten people walked in.
The person in front was dressed simply, but he was elegant and magnanimous. He was a dragon among men. Some of the nine people behind him were older, while others were younger. However, each of them carried a swift and decisive aura. Some of them were even wearing armor and were figures at the level of generals.
The ten of them came to the table and bowed.""Li Si, Wei Liao, Wang Jian…Greetings, Your Majesty.”
"Rise!"
Ying Zheng said lightly. The ten of them stood up and stood respectfully at the lower seats.
"Do you know why I summoned you here?" asked Ying Zheng.”
"We are stupid and do not know the king's imperial edict.”
"Li Si, you went to Qi State to study and became my disciple. Xunzi's thinking is close to the legalism, and it is also a study of how to govern the country, which is the so-called art of emperors. Am I right?”
"Your Majesty is wise," Li Si replied.”
He was secretly surprised. He was just a small official in the State of Qin and had never seen the King before. How did the King know so much about him?
Ying Zheng nodded, then looked at Wei Liao and said,""Wei Liao, you've just entered the Qin country, but you've already achieved quite a bit. You're good at military tactics, have thoughts, and make decisions. Now that he was in the army, how was he adapting?”
"Thanks to the King's favor, everything is fine.”
Wei Liao hurriedly replied, not daring to show any disrespect.
Ying Zheng then told them the names and origins of the other eight people, which greatly surprised these people. Some of them were not famous yet, but he still spoke clearly. It was really confusing.
They were even more puzzled as to why the king had summoned them. Could it be that he wanted to tell them about their identities and show off his profound knowledge?
'Of course not.' Ying Zheng quickly revealed his thoughts.
"Li Si, although you are just a minor official, you have the world in your heart and have outstanding political talent and foresight. I believe that you can bring happiness to Great Qin. Li Si, receive the decree!"
Li Si quickly bowed and was secretly surprised.
"Li Si will be the Left Prime Minister to assist the Emperor in governing the world.”
It was simple and clear, and everyone present was shocked. Was this king playing around? How can you be so casual when you give me the title of Prime Minister? Without careful consideration? No need to inspect it carefully?
However, the emperor had spoken his mind, and there was no reason to take back what he had said.
Li Si was a little dazed after receiving the imperial edict.
Ying Zheng did not wait for them to recover from their shock, and continued,""Wei Liao is given the title of Country Lieutenant, in charge of military affairs. Wang Jian was granted the title of Marquis Wucheng, a general…"
Ten people were conferred titles in a row. One of them was the Left Prime Minister, a civil official. Other than Wei Liao and Wang Jian, there were also Wang Ben, Neishi Teng, Yang Duanhe, Xin Sheng, Li Xin, Meng Wu, and Meng Tian.
These seven men were all generals that Ying Zheng knew. Although some of them had not yet made any military achievements, and some of them were even too young, he had already determined that these nine men would be the vanguard for him to pacify the six states.
For these ten people, today was destined to be an extraordinary day.
A minor official suddenly rose to the position of Left Prime Minister. Wang Jian became Marquis Wucheng, and the others also became generals.
This was a huge change in blood, and they were given a few Generals, which was bound to be a huge blow to Great Qin's army.
"Dear ministers, I have important matters to discuss with you. The matter discussed today must not be spread!”
Ying Zheng spoke so solemnly that the ten of them understood that this might be the highlight of their visit to the palace today!
The king had sent them here to give them an important mission.
