Qin Country's capital, Xianyang.
Xianyang City could be said to be the birthplace of Chinese history. From here, the first imperial power group was established and the first emperor in history was born.
At this moment, in the main hall of the imperial palace in Xianyang City, a group of powerful ministers who held the lifeline of the Black Empire were discussing military affairs.
However, rather than saying that this was a court meeting of the powerful ministers of the Qin State, it was better to say that this was the decision of the current number one powerful minister of the Qin State, Lu Buwei.
At this moment, the current Prime Minister of the State of Qin, the second father of the King of the State of Qin, Lu Buwei, was pointing at a white-haired old man who was over fifty years old and saying something in the Imperial Court.
While he was speaking, not a single powerful official of Great Qin dared to speak. Even the current King, the young Ying Zheng who was sitting on the high platform of the court, did not dare to speak.
He could only let this middle-aged man in luxurious clothes, who had single-handedly supported his father and himself to ascend the throne, criticize his subjects.
The current Ying Zheng was only a young man who was not even fourteen years old, but even a young man like him was already different from an ordinary young man.
In his eyes, there was no youthful vigor of an ordinary youth. On the contrary, there was only indifference in his eyes. There was even a trace of ambition hidden in the deepest depths.
This was none other than the future First Emperor of the ages, Ying Zheng!
Lu Buwei stood in the middle of the court, pointing at a powerful official, completely ignoring the gazes of the people around him.
"Cao Zongzheng, your son is now using your name to show off in Xianyang City, bullying men and women. As a father, have you disciplined your son properly?”
At this point, Lu Buwei's eyes narrowed, and his face darkened.
The person he pointed at was one of the nine ministers of the State of Qin, Cao Yuan.
In fact, he had also heard about his son running amok in Xianyang. In his opinion, this kid who was not even twenty years old could cause a lot of trouble.
However, who knew that his precious son would actually provoke this fiend standing in front of him.
Everyone knew that Lu Buwei and Lu Xiangguo were trying their best to suppress the Qin officials who were at odds with him. As a Zong Zheng of the royal family, he naturally became the first target of attack.
"Hehe, Cao Zongzheng, I see that you have failed to teach your son well. I think that you are not a satisfactory person. Why don't you retire now?”
Lu Buwei's words struck Cao Yuan like a bolt from the blue.
Cao Yuan looked at Lu Buwei in disbelief, but when he saw Lu Buwei's vicious eyes, he shuddered.
Hurriedly shifting his gaze away, Cao Yuan turned to look at the few ministers of the Qin Kingdom who had been on good terms with him. However, his heart immediately turned bone-chilling.
Those powerful ministers who usually called him brother and friend all looked away unnaturally, not daring to look him in the eye.
Seeing this scene, Cao Yuan knew that he had lost the upper hand.
Finally, Cao Yuan took a glance at the young Ying Zheng who was sitting on the high platform, and a trace of loneliness appeared in his eyes.
After bowing, Cao Yuan said weakly," Your Majesty, it is indeed as Xiangguo Lu said. I have failed to teach my son well. I would like to retire and return to my hometown. Your Majesty, please allow me."”
Standing on the high platform, Ying Zheng felt a sense of sorrow in his heart when he saw Cao Yuan's current state, but he could not show it at this moment.
With an indifferent expression, Ying Zheng calmly said,"”
Hearing this, Cao Yuan's body trembled slightly, but he immediately returned to normal.
"Old subject, thank you, Your Majesty!"
After bowing, Cao Yuan turned around and walked out of the court in a lonely manner.
Looking at Cao Yuan's lonely and slightly hunched back, Ying Zheng's nose felt a little sour.
Even though this old official only doted on his son, he was conscientious in handling state affairs and was even more loyal to the Great Qin royal family.
But now, he actually wanted to chase out such a person who was loyal to the Great Qin royal family. His heart was bleeding!
But now that he was forced to live under someone else's roof, he could only wait for an opportunity to move.
At the thought of this, Ying Zheng could not help but cast a glance at Lu Buwei, who was standing there with a smug look on his face, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
However, he quickly retracted his gaze.
Soon, Cao Yuan's matter was resolved. Lu Buwei was very pleased with himself. He had finally eliminated another opponent by killing Cao Yuan today.
This time, his authority in the Great Qin Dynasty Hall was one step closer.
However, this was far from enough. He wanted more than this.
As he thought about this, Lu Buwei turned his gaze to the army of generals who had been watching coldly from the side.
After pondering for a while, Lu Buwei spoke again, but this time, he bowed to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, according to the news from the northwest border city of the Great Qin Empire, the Xiongnu soldiers have repeatedly invaded our borders. This news has greatly boosted the morale of our Qin army, and this old minister believes that Your Majesty should reward them heavily.”
Hearing Lu Buwei's words, Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed." Oh, then how do you think we should reward him?”
Smiling faintly, Lu Buwei stroked his beard and said,""According to the report, the main contributor this time is a centurion named Jiang Ning. Thinking about it, Jiang Ning is also a member of my Qin Empire, so this old minister believes that he should be promoted.”
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, which was a rare sight, and said,"
"That's right. I've also seen this person on the news. Not only did this person wipe out a thousand-odd Xiongnu army with a loss ratio of one to ten, but he also managed to defeat the Xiongnu army.”
"He even led nearly a thousand Qin soldiers to wipe out a large Xiongnu tribe with tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop. I also think that he should be rewarded.”
Although he was surprised to hear Ying Zheng echoing his words, Lu Buwei only thought that his previous intimidation had worked.
"That's right, this person is indeed talented in battle formations, and he dares to fight. In this old minister's opinion, why don't we promote Jiang Ning to the position of Vice General of Border City and assist Old General Che in guarding Border City?”
After hearing Lu Buwei's words, the Great Qin Generals who had been watching from the side could not sit still anymore.
They naturally had no objections to Che Qu, the old general who had protected the peace of the border town for nearly ten years. However, this sudden promotion of an unknown kid to the deputy general of the border town.
