Ever since he killed Lao Ai and expelled Lu Buwei, the power of Qin had fallen into Ying Zheng's hands!
Although Jiang Han had summoned Liu Bowen, Di Renjie, Bao Zheng, and the others to help, the politics of a country were so complicated that even Liu Bowen and the others, who were famous officials of a generation, felt that they could not do it alone.
Zhangtai Palace.
"Meng Tian greets the King!"
"Li Si greets Your Majesty!"
……
Ying Zheng sat high on the throne, looking down at the two young men, one civil and one martial.
Ying Zheng took over the power himself, and swept away all the old forces in the imperial court. Most of the old officials were either killed or demoted, so Ying Zheng could only promote new people from the imperial court!
The Meng family had been loyal for generations, they were the honorable old Qin who had shared weal and woe with Great Qin!
Although Li Si was once Lu Buwei's disciple, he was just an insignificant figure, not a trusted aide of Lu Buwei. Now that Lu Buwei had fallen, Li Si was like a rootless duckweed, regarded as a thousand-li horse by Ying Zheng!
"My two beloved ministers, please forgive me!"
Ying Zheng looked down at Meng Tian and Li Si from above, his voice carrying a sense of majesty.
When the two heard this, they thanked him again before standing up.
"Meng Tian, the Meng family has been loyal for generations and are the pillars of our Great Qin. I know that you have been familiar with the art of war since you were young and are familiar with military affairs!”
" Therefore, I want you to regroup the Golden Fire Cavalry to expand my territory and guard the world…"
After the two of them stood up, Ying Zheng's gaze fell on Meng Tian, and his majestic voice seemed to ring out from the heavens.
As soon as he said that, Meng Tian's entire body trembled. Her head was instantly filled with a huge surprise!
The Golden Fire Cavalry was once the strongest cavalry army in the Qin Country. They had always been led by the Meng family, but they had been forcefully disbanded due to the court dispute and were mixed up into other armies!
As for their Meng tribe, they had lost their authority in the court and had weakened greatly!
And now, the king actually wanted him to reorganize the Golden Fire Cavalry!
Could it be that my Meng family's ancestors have blessed us? Now, my Meng family is going to return to the status of a first-class family of generals in the Great Qin Dynasty?
"I will not fail my mission!"
"From now on, my Meng family and the Golden Fire Cavalry are willing to go through fire and water for the king!”
Meng Tian bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng.
Meng Tian was not the only one who was excited to be promoted from a small commander to the leader of the army. Even Li Si, who was beside her, was moved.
If the king could summon him and Meng Tian at the same time and promote Meng Tian to be the commander of the Golden Fire Cavalry, what about Li Si?
"Li Si, I promote you to be a high-ranking official and take charge of the administration.”
As expected, soon, Ying Zheng's voice rang out again, and when it fell into Li Si's ears, it sounded like the most beautiful immortal music in the world!
"I, Li Si, will die for Great Qin!”
Li Si was emotional as he knelt on the ground to thank him.
His master was Xunzi and Han Fei, but he was expelled by Xunzi. After he came to the State of Qin, he joined Lu Buwei, but he was never put in an important position!
Now that he had finally gotten what he wanted and could use what he had learned in his life, how could Li Si not be excited?
As the saying goes, a wise man would die for his confidant. Before this, Meng Tian and Li Si were both depressed and frustrated. Now that they had received Ying Zheng's great kindness and were able to fulfill their ambitions, the two of them immediately had the urge to die for Ying Zheng!
……
And just as Ying Zheng was promoting Meng Tian and Li Si, and his tentacles were gradually reaching out to all fields of the Qin State, the news of the coup in Xianyang, where Ying Zheng killed dozens of ministers of the Qi family outside the Han Dynasty, finally reached the ears of Cheng Jiao, who was stationed at the border!
"Bastard! Ying Zheng! This is simply too much!"
Cheng Jiao gritted his teeth and slammed the table in front of him. His eyes were filled with killing intent!
"Ruler, Ying Zheng has gone too far. He killed dozens of important ministers in the court, and even sent people to reprimand his wife for being grounded!”
"He clearly wants me to wait for death!”
"That's right! Now, Ying Zheng's blade was already placed on our necks, and all the important ministers who were loyal to the Ruler and his wife had been exterminated by him. The next step would be to strip the Ruler of his military power, and then it would be the time for us to reveal our true intentions!”
"Ruler, we might as well rebel against him. We don't want to serve that little brat Ying Zheng anymore…"
"That's right! Rebellion!"
In Cheng Jiao's tent, several of his trusted generals were roaring in anger.
All of them were the direct descendants of the Qi Family outside the Han Kingdom. If Ying Zheng were to swing his saber at the military, none of them would be able to escape, and their entire clan would be doomed!
Instead of waiting for Ying Zheng to swing his saber, they naturally did not want to wait for death!
At this moment, everyone in the tent was furious.
Previously, in order to unite the forces of Madam Han's faction, Ying Zheng had promised to give the land of Shu Zhong to Cheng Jiao. But later, after expelling Lu Buwei, he had broken his promise and destroyed the imperial court forces of the Qi faction outside the Han Kingdom!
Cheng Jiao had long been enraged by Ying Zheng's teasing. At this moment, his trusted subordinate incited him, and Cheng Jiao immediately slammed the table in anger!
"Humph! Since he, Ying Zheng, had betrayed his trust and was ashamed of being my brother, then don't blame me for being unjust!”
"Immediately send someone to secretly enter the State of Zhao and meet the King of Zhao. We were originally going to merge the garrison into the State of Zhao…"
Hearing Cheng Jiao's words, several trusted generals in the Middle Army tent were overjoyed. They quickly discussed with Cheng Jiao how to secretly join Zhao and how to obtain the best conditions for themselves…
……
In Xianyang Palace, Zhao Gao was kneeling before Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, this is the information that the Network has obtained from the garrison!”
" Lord Chang 'an intends to rebel and has secretly contacted the State of Zhao. He has already sent an envoy to make an alliance with the State of Zhao…"
