In the court.
Ying Qi's voice suddenly rang out, causing the court session that was originally in progress to immediately stop.
"Meng Qing, the ancestor has summoned you. You should quickly head to the forbidden area.”Ying Zichu looked at the number one Martial Official, Meng Ao, and said.
"This old subject receives the decree."
Meng Ao respectfully received the order and quickly walked out of the hall with an excited expression.
"I believe all the ministers are fine now, right?”
Seeing Meng Ao leave, Ying Zichu looked at the court officials curiously.
"If there's nothing else, I'll report."
Great Qin's officials replied in unison.
"Alright, then you may leave."
Ying Zichu stood up and waved his hand at the officials. Then, he walked toward the back hall with the help of the temple attendants.
"Prime minister, why do you think our ancestor summoned General Meng Ao?”
A civil official beside Lu Buwei asked curiously.
"How can we guess the thoughts of the ancestor? However, perhaps it has something to do with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.”Lu Buwei said after some thought.
"That's right. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty overestimated themselves and wanted to attack our Great Qin.”
"Alright, you can take your leave for now. I also need to prepare the rations.”Lu Buwei smiled and slowly walked out of the hall.
To Lu Buwei.
The expedition to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was also very important. The Great Qin Dynasty valued martial arts, and Lu Buwei was directly promoted to the position of Prime Minister by Ying Zichu. Without any military merits, it was still difficult for him to convince the masses. However, if he could pacify the Eastern Zhou Dynasty this time, his contribution to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would be enough to stabilize his position as Prime Minister.
Outside the forbidden area.
"Thank you for summoning me, ancestor.”
Meng Ao respectfully waited at the entrance of the forbidden area.
"Meng Qing, cough cough…"
While Meng Ao was waiting, Ying Zichu had also arrived. Although there was a smile on his face, his sickly appearance didn't change at all.
In the current palace, there were rumors that the current King of Qin did not have much time left.
Ying Zichu had also heard about this, but he couldn't do anything about it, because this was the truth.
"King, why are you here?"
Seeing Ying Zichu, Meng Ao immediately bowed.
"The ancestor summoned you. I am also very curious, so..." Ying Zichu smiled and said. The meaning behind his words was very clear.
"Since you're all here, come in.”
While the two of them were waiting, Ying Qi's voice rang out.
Hearing that.
Ying Zichu and Meng Ao didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately entered the forbidden area.
In the main hall.
"Greetings, ancestor."
The two immediately bowed respectfully.
To Great Qin, Ying Qi was not only the ancestor of the Ying family, but also the ancestor of all of Great Qin's people.
"Get up."
Ying Qi smiled and looked at the two of them.
The two of them stood up and looked at Ying Qi in awe.
"Greetings, father."
"Greetings, General."
Ying Zheng saw the two of them and immediately bowed.
"Send troops to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty tomorrow?"
Ying Qi looked at the two of them and asked.
"Ancestor."
"The Eastern Zhou Dynasty is audacious and wants to invade our Great Qin. We will not tolerate such insolence in a small place. Zichu has already issued an order. Tomorrow, General Meng Ao and Prime Minister Lu Buwei will lead 100,000 troops to destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.”Ying Zichu said respectfully. Although he was weak, his tone still contained the arrogance and dominance of a Qin citizen.
"You did well."
"Great Qin did not rely on weakness to obtain its current strength, but it relied on brute force. If they dare to offend Great Qin, then we will destroy them.”
"I hope that you will remember that if other countries dare to kill one of our Great Qin's people, Great Qin will kill 100 of them. If other countries dare to kill 10 of our Great Qin's people, Great Qin will destroy thousands of their people. If other countries dare to attack Great Qin, Great Qin will destroy their countries. In short, Great Qin's might cannot be blasphemed.”
Ying Qi said in a deep voice. His voice was filled with arrogance and dominance.
"We will remember the words of our ancestors."
Ying Zichu, Ying Zheng, and Meng Ao replied in unison, their hearts filled with pride as Great Qin's people.
"I'm prepared to let Zheng 'er join the army tomorrow and attack the Eastern Zhou.”
At this point, Ying Qi also entered the main topic.
"Great Qin values martial arts, and the Crown Prince has become the Crown Prince of Great Qin. Now that he has made contributions in the army, he will gain prestige. When we return to the army, we will immediately arrange a general position for the Crown Prince and let him gain military merit.”Meng Ao thought for a moment and said.
"Wrong."
Ying Qi shook his head and said," I didn't let him join the army as a general. I want him to be a soldier, and none of you are to be biased towards him. He will attack the city the same way our elite soldiers attack the city, and he will kill the enemy the same way our elite soldiers attack the enemy. I don't want the future ruler of Great Qin to be a person who only talks on paper. Only by entering the army can we understand the foundation of Great Qin.”
"Do you understand what I mean?”
Ying Qi stared at Ying Zichu and Meng Ao.
The two of them were shocked.
However, he didn't dare to disobey Ying Qi's orders.
"Zichu understands."
Ying Zichu and Meng Ao immediately said.
"Zheng 'er, what do you want to say?”
Ying Qi nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Ying Zheng.
"Zheng 'er will never disappoint my ancestors, and he doesn't need any care from my father or the Great General. As the heir apparent of Great Qin, he will never be afraid of anything.”A resolute look appeared on Ying Zheng's tender face.
"Alright."
"Let's do it this way."
"You can take Zheng 'er away."
Ying Qi nodded and did not say anything else. However, he still had some thoughts in his heart.
