In the main hall, all the officials were in court.
Ying Zheng announced that the construction of Yong City would be put on the agenda immediately.
Lao Ai was so pleased with himself that he even provoked Meng Ao and Wei Liao in secret!
Lao Ai felt that these two old fogeys were always going against him, and now that he had gotten what he wanted, how could he not show off and vent his anger?
And the imperial edict could not be changed.
Meng Ao and Wei Liao didn't have any room to refute.
Lu Buwei was also very surprised by Ying Zheng's decisive order.
The cost of building a new city for Zhao Ji was astronomical!
Logically speaking, it would take at least a month or two before it could be finalized. After all, there were many ministers who opposed this matter, and each of them was of high status and power.
Of course.
Never in his dreams would Lu Buwei have thought that his political career would be on the verge of falling into the abyss the moment Yong City was established.
……
After the court session.
Ying Zheng also told Wei Liao and Meng Ao that they could also bribe Guo Kai at the same time.
The queen mother took out money from her private treasury to support it.
With this, Wei Liao and Meng Ao stopped complaining and even felt respect for Empress Dowager Hua Yang!
The Empress Dowager was the Empress Dowager. She was dedicated to the country!
This was the style of royalty!
On the other hand, Concubine Zhao only wanted to build that Yong City to enjoy herself. It was really hard for people to have any respect for her.
After pacifying the two old ministers, Ying Zheng went to Zhangtai Palace to start his busy day.
In the corridor.
Meng Ao suddenly grabbed Wei Liao's shoulder and questioned,""Grand Commandant! Did your comprehension of the art of war that day come from someone else?？”
"What? Who said that? Who leaked this information?"
Wei Liao's eyes widened. Other than him and King, no one should know about this!
Seeing his reaction, Meng Ao immediately stared back with his bell-like eyes and said,""You Wei Liaozi, you actually learned to plagiarize other people's understanding of the art of war. This old man is most ashamed of people like you.”
"Before this, I thought that as the successor of the School of Political Conspiracy, your attainments in the art of war were comparable to Baiqi and Li Mu.”
"But now it seems that you are just a villain!!”
"This old man is ashamed to be associated with a villain like you!”
"From now on, please do not come within three meters of this old man, or else this old man will not be able to control his fists!!”
……
After saying that, Meng Ao immediately distanced himself from Wei Liao. At the same time, he stared at Wei Liao with a look of disdain!
"Old General, I…"
Wei Liao felt bitter in his heart!
It had only been a night, so how could Meng Ao have guessed that the art of war comprehension came from someone else?？
He had promised Ying Zheng that he would never expose any information about Ye Yu.
What should he do now?
How was he going to explain this to His Majesty?
As for the fact that Meng Ao was looking down on him, he was already mentally prepared.
However, this small boat of friendship had capsized just like that, which made Wei Liao feel a little bitter.
"Sigh…Old General, I'll be busy with political affairs first.”
Wei Liao retreated helplessly.
Meng Ao looked at Wei Liao's back thoughtfully. As a veteran of the battlefield, he could not control his temper sometimes.
However…
This did not mean that Meng Ao was stupid. Based on his understanding of Wei Liao, he was the Grand Commandant of the Great Qin Empire, one of the three dukes, and the personal advisor of the King of Qin!
In battle, a vanguard general like him had to follow the general direction of the battle that Wei Liao had set.
One could imagine the pride of a person with such a high position and power.
Stealing other people's understanding of the art of war did not seem like something Wei Liao would do.
However, Wei Liao did not refute.
That meant that this matter was definitely related to that person.
Meng Ao turned to look at Zhangtai Palace. Only Great Qin's Emperor could make Wei Liao fight against all of them.
It seemed that the little brat at home did not lie to him. There was indeed a great sage in the marketplace!
Moreover, it was a huge treasure that Qin Wang had hidden away!
That's right!
The reason Meng Ao knew that Wei Liao had plagiarized other people's understanding of the art of war was because of Meng Tian's guess.
After returning home last night, Meng Ao had told Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi the essence of the 16 words of guerrilla warfare!
However, Meng Tian's first reaction was that Wei Liao did not seem to be able to come up with such an understanding.
Under Meng Ao's personal interrogation, Meng Tian finally gave in and revealed Ye Yu's whereabouts.
Just now, Meng Ao had also " confirmed " with Wei Liao. He could basically conclude that Meng Tian did not lie to him.
The sages of the present age were actually hidden in the marketplace!？
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. This old man will strike first and gain the upper hand.”
Meng Ao clasped his hands behind his back and walked out of the door happily.
During the Warring States Period, the cooperation between the aristocratic families and the royal family had not reached the level of absolute master and servant.
This was especially true for a pillar family like the Meng family. Both Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei had to be polite to Meng Ao when they saw him.
After all, he was an old minister of four generations, and his students and old officials were all over the army. Who would dare not give him face?
Now that Meng Ao had set his eyes on the great sage in the marketplace, according to his thoughts, he had to pull him into the army no matter what!
Or he, Meng Ao, could directly become sworn brothers with him!
Isn't it wonderful?
