Xianyang.
Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng was still not in the mood to attend court these few days.
Besides the intelligence from Qi State reported by Li Si, the prime minister and the imperial censors were responsible for handling all the other trivial matters.
"Zhao Gao, Li Xin still hasn't sent back any good news?”
Ying Zheng, who was sitting in the study, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, raised his head and asked Zhao Gao, who was standing guard at the side.
Zhao Gao blushed and answered patiently," Your Majesty has asked me more than ten times today. I have not received any good news. Please be patient. Once General Li Xin sends me good news, I will inform Your Majesty immediately."”
"Alright, I understand." Ying Zheng was a little disappointed.
"Your Majesty, the president of the supreme court is here to see you."
An attendant came in to report.
"Xuan."
Ying Zheng responded, then said to Zhao Gao,""You can go down first. When you receive good news, inform me immediately.”
"Yes!" Zhao Gao cupped his hands and left the study with the attendant.
After a short while, Li Si walked in.
" Your Majesty," he said after bowing to Ying Zheng," Childe Chong of Qi has arrived at Xianyang. May I ask if Your Majesty has seen him?"”
"Tian Chong has arrived?" Without hesitation, Ying Zheng replied," No, let him stay in Xianyang for a while. I am still waiting for Li Xin's good news. How can I be in the mood to see Tian Chong?"”
Li Si smiled bitterly." Your Majesty, although Tian Chong is the son of Qi, he is here as an envoy of Qi. Great Qin has yet to start a war with Qi. At least on the surface, we are still allies. For the sake of General Li Xin who is attacking Chu, I suggest that Your Majesty meet him to prevent Tian Chong from being dissatisfied and persuading King Qi to send troops to help Chu after returning to Qi.”
" Do you really think the Qi Kingdom would dare to help the Chu Kingdom?" Ying Zheng sneered.”
"Humph, Li Xin has already attacked Ying Du, presumably he has already broken through the city and the news is on the way to Xianyang.”
"When Jing Chu is destroyed by my Great Qin, why would Qi Country help Chu?”
Li Si was helpless.
He really wanted to say that Ying Du of Chu State could not be broken so easily.
After all, it was the capital of a country, so Xiang Yan had transferred all of the Chu army back to Ying Du to defend it.
If Li Xin had led his army to conquer Yanling City, then it would have been fine, but in Li Si's eyes, Ying Du was not something that could be conquered in a few days.
The Chu army had 300,000 soldiers, no less than Li Xin.
With the sturdy city, they could resist the 300,000 Qin army for at least half a month.
It might even be possible for a few months.
If Tian Chong, the son of Qi, was ignored by Ying Zheng again, and returned to Linzi to persuade King Qi Jian to send troops to help Chu, then Li Xin's 300,000-strong army would be in trouble.
At that time, not only would they not be able to destroy Chu, but they would also be in danger of being counterattacked by the Qi and Chu allied forces.
That was why Li Si strongly suggested that Ying Zheng meet Tian Chong.
First, he had to stabilize Tian Chong, the envoy of the Qi Kingdom.
However, Ying Zheng seemed to be certain that Li Xin would be able to conquer Ying Du in the near future, so Li Si could not refute him.
He could only advise,"Your Majesty, in order to create more time for General Li Xin to attack the city, it's better to meet Tian Chong."”
Li Si tried to persuade him again, which calmed down Ying Zheng's restless heart.
After some deliberation, he said,"Alright, I'll see you…"
"Great King! Your Majesty!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Gao's anxious voice came from outside the door.
Zhao Gao rushed straight into the study, sweating profusely without any care for etiquette.
Ying Zheng instantly stood up, pushed Li Si away, and walked quickly to Zhao Gao,""Did Li Xin send a good news?"
"Yes, yes! This subject had just left the study not long ago when I received this good news. The first thing I did was to bring it to Your Majesty. This subject…"
Zhao Gao wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of Ying Zheng, but before he could finish, the brocade in his hand was snatched away by Ying Zheng.
At this moment, how could Ying Zheng wait for Zhao Gao to read out the content of the news?
He was so anxious that he decided to check it out himself.
Pushed aside by Ying Zheng, Li Si, who had just steadied himself, felt very wronged…
Both he and Zhao Gao dared not make a sound, for fear of disturbing Ying Zheng's reading of the news.
Their eyes fell on Ying Zheng's face.
Ying Zheng's expression changed from surprise to joy, then from anger to gratification, and then returned to his usual calmness, back to the calm and mighty King of Qin Ying Zheng.
"Hu…"
After reading all the contents of the report, Ying Zheng put down the brocade in his hand and let out a long sigh.
Li Si gulped and quickly said,""Your Majesty, what is the content of the report?”
Just now, when he saw Ying Zheng's ever-changing facial expression, he was really confused and could not guess what was written in the report.
Logically speaking, if it was good news, then it must be that Li Xin had successfully captured Ying Du.
Shouldn't Ying Zheng be happy that Li Xin succeeded in attacking the city?
But why did his expression change again and again…
Just like Li Si, Zhao Gao was also curious.
As soon as he received the good news, he returned to Ying Zheng's study without stopping. He did not read the contents of the report first, nor did he know what Li Xin had written in it.
"Zhao Gao, read the good news to the chief justice so that I can hear it again.”
"Yes."
Zhao Gao hurriedly took the brocade from Ying Zheng's hands and fixed his gaze on it.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. This official said that I will take down Ying Du, and I will definitely take down Ying Du, and I will not disappoint Your Majesty.”
Zhao Gao was speechless.
Li Si, who was listening attentively, raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that Li Xin was really stubborn.
It was fine that Father Cheng had played all sorts of tricks in his report of victory previously, but now he was here again?
......
I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have looked down on the strength of all the big shots. I shouldn't have been arrogant and arrogant…
Feeling the whipping of the big shots, it was going to be bad…
Unknowingly, he had already added 12 chapters…And it was just fresh flowers. The monthly votes had not even started counting…
Take your time…
Sigh, I've already sold myself to the big shots anyway. I don't care, the big shots have to be responsible for me!!
