Qin Shihuang's Worries
The Qilin Hall of Xianyang Palace…
The First Emperor of the Great Qin Empire was kneeling in the main hall. Beside him was a luxurious table filled with bamboo slips. Qin Shihuang's gaze calmly swept across the civil and military officials on both sides of him.
As an emperor, no matter how many worries he had in his heart, he could not reveal his true thoughts in front of all the officials!
"Your Majesty!" His Highness quickly walked out from the right side of the queue and came to the center of the hall. He pressed his right hand on his left hand and bowed. He stood up and bowed again before kneeling down.
This person was Great Qin's Left Prime Minister, Li Si!
"Your Majesty! The Xiongnu and Qiang tribes in the north have repeatedly invaded the borders of Great Qin in recent days. The might of Great Qin should be strong. Although General Meng Tian's Meng family army is majestically guarding the north, we still need to send troops to guard against them!”
Prime Minister Li Si put his hands forward and bowed again.
Qin Shi Huang's tiger eyes opened slightly, and he looked at the person kneeling in front of His Highness expressionlessly. There were not many waves in his heart.
If it wasn't for the long journey, Great Qin would have been unable to keep up with their rations and would have long destroyed them.
The other party was only harassing them, so how could they dare to suppress Great Qin's army?
"Your Majesty! I believe that since the establishment of the Great Qin Empire, the Hu people have not dared to go south to herd horses, and the soldiers have not dared to draw their bows to retaliate! The Xiongnu and Qiang tribes in the north were nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs! With General Meng Tian's Meng family army guarding, they could guard peace. "I believe that the construction of the Great Wall in the north is urgent, and the casualties of the able-bodied men recruited by the various counties and villages are too high. Once the Great Wall is completed, Great Qin will enjoy eternal peace!”
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji said.
In the Qin Dynasty, the right was respected, and the right was respected by the left. Therefore, Feng Quji's status was slightly higher than Li Si's. Among the civil and military officials, he could directly oppose Li Si's words without worrying about being targeted by the officials.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Great Qin's soldiers are brave and good at fighting. Using them to build the Great Wall is a waste of talent and is not advisable!”
"Once the Great Wall is completed, it will become a natural moat for Great Qin! Whether it was transporting resources or expanding the territory, it would be a meritorious deed for hundreds of generations!”
In the ancient imperial court, the people on the left and right were mostly people with different opinions.
Feng Quji and Li Si were the same now.
Qin Shi Huang sat in the palace and watched the two argue. He couldn't help but feel a headache and his gaze gradually turned cold.
"Alright!" He roared with a dragon's roar, and the entire Qilin Palace instantly became extremely quiet.
The two people kneeling on the ground immediately fell silent out of fear. They bowed their heads and bowed."Please calm down, Your Majesty!"
"We'll discuss this matter in the future.”Qin Shi Huang waved his sleeves and said impatiently.
The civil and military officials only knew how to talk about this and that, and they often needed to send out an army. The Great Qin Empire had not been established for long, and its foundation had not yet been completely stabilized. The previous six generations had already exhausted the people and money, so how could it be a long-term plan to go on a campaign?
Feng Quji and Li Si looked at each other and didn't know how to deal with each other. However, they didn't dare to act rashly because of the First Emperor's authority.
He left helplessly.
Following that, all sorts of miscellaneous matters appeared in the court.
"Your Majesty! Great Qin had not unified the six countries for long, and the recruitment and pacification of the remaining members of the six countries required a large amount of money. This was the most important thing right now!”
"Your Majesty! I've heard that there's an immortal medicine overseas. It's on the Three Immortal Islands in the east. It's a long way and requires a lot! However, if the Immortal Medicine was found, His Majesty would be able to live forever, and the Great Qin Empire would be able to truly prosper for thousands of generations!”
“........”
Voices came one after another.
Qin Shi Huang was a little upset and his head was aching.
As the emperor, how could he not know what these people were thinking?
Some people wanted to send Great Qin's Cavalrymen to the borders so that they could continue to expand and control the army.
Others wanted to empty the national treasury. This was the third time they had gone to the Immortal Island to ask for medicine. They had spent tens of thousands of stones of wealth, but in the end, not a single drop of water had been splashed.
As for the wealth needed for the recruitment of the remnants of the Six Nations, Fusu had established the Hall of Virtue to recruit all the wise men regardless of their origins. He knew about this, but it was a pity that the thoughts of the remnants of the Six Nations could not be extinguished so easily.
Now that he was in power, it was enough to deter all the villains.
After a hundred years, Great Qin would once again be in danger.
It was difficult to hold on under internal and external troubles!
There were Xiongnu, Qiang, and other Hu people harassing the northern border, the remnants of the six dynasties lurking in the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, and a group of people in the royal court coveting the wealth of the national treasury…
This caused Great Qin, which had just been established, to look powerful, but in reality, it was full of parasites!
All kinds of problems really made him upset.
That was why he wanted to build the Great Wall as soon as possible, to lay a foundation for his descendants to protect for eternity!
Qin Shi Huang's pitch-black eyes became colder and colder. After sweeping a glance, he casually waved his hand.
The eunuch beside him immediately understood.
"Retreat!"
"Yes!" Everyone bowed in unison!
Qin Shihuang flicked his sleeves and strode toward the side hall.
The bead curtain on his forehead shook violently, showing that he was unable to calm down.
.......
It was late at night…
Qin Shihuang stood in the study and looked at the table full of bamboo slips. He recalled the faces and thoughts of those people in the court today and paced back and forth.
"Humph! One by one, they devoured the monarch, but none of them succeeded!”He snorted coldly and no longer paid attention to those dejected bamboo slips.
Then, he took out an exquisitely carved wooden box from the shelf beside him and took out a thick bamboo slip.
Looking at the title, he fell into deep thought. His thick lips muttered," This person is a great talent of the current era. It's just like how the medical ancestor Bian Que was back then. He sealed a city of plague with his own strength. He's a person worthy of being put in an important position. What a pity."
At this moment, a eunuch quickly walked forward and reported,""Your Majesty…Young Master Fusu requests an audience!"
"Fu Su? Why is he here so late?" Qin Shihuang was slightly surprised.
Then, he put away the bamboo slip and patted his black robe. He instructed,"Call him in."
"Here!"
The official went down to report. Soon, Young Master Fusu stepped into the study with joy.
When he saw the bearded middle-aged man sitting in front of the desk, he quickly took two steps forward and bowed."Your son pays his respects to Imperial Father!"
"Father! A few days ago, when I was setting up the Hall of Talents in the city, I happened to find a hermit expert in the street…I really want to recommend it to Imperial Father…"
