Lu Buwei stood in the middle of the court, pointing at a powerful official, completely ignoring the gazes of the people around him.
"Ying Zongzheng, your son is now showing off his power in Xianyang City with your name, bullying men and women. As a father, have you ever taught your son well?”
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, Zong Zheng Ying 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, Ying Zongzheng, I can see that you have failed to teach your son well, and I think that you are not as good as you want. Why don't you retire now?”
Lu Buwei's words struck Ying Yuan's head like a bolt from the blue.
Ying Yuan looked at Lu Buwei in disbelief, but when he saw Lu Buwei's vicious eyes, he shuddered.
Ying Yuan quickly shifted his gaze away and looked at the few ministers of the Qin Kingdom who had been on good terms with him before. However, when he saw them, 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, Ying Yuan knew that he had lost.
Finally, Ying 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, Ying Yuan said weakly," Your Majesty, it is indeed as Xiangguo Lu said. This old minister has failed to teach his son well. This old minister requests to retire and return to his hometown. I hope Your Majesty will agree."”
Standing on the high platform, Ying Zheng felt a sense of sorrow in his heart when he saw Ying Yuan, this old official of the Zong Dynasty, in such a state. However, he could not show it on his face at this moment.
With an indifferent expression, Ying Zheng calmly said,"”
Hearing this, Ying Yuan's body trembled slightly, but he soon returned to normal.
"Old subject, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ying Yuan bowed, then turned around and walked out of the imperial court in a lonely manner.
Looking at Ying 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, he was also obstructed by others. Sigh!
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.
Very soon, the matter with Ying Yuan was resolved. Lu Buwei was very pleased with himself. After getting rid of Ying Yuan today, he had finally gotten rid of another opponent.
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.
At this moment, a person walked out from the ranks of the generals and reported,""Your Majesty, I have received good news about the border war and want to report it to Your Majesty!”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng first looked at Lu Buwei who was standing beside him.
Seeing that Lu Buwei didn't stop him, he said,""General Zhang, report any news from the border.”
General Zhang softened his tone and said,"
"Your Majesty, recently, there have been frequent rebellions by the Xiongnu army at the border of our Great Qin. A few days ago, General Liu Yong of Fan City led nearly ten thousand soldiers to attack the enemy's headquarters.”
"But I didn't expect that the Xiongnu army was actually luring the tiger away from the mountain. The Xiongnu had already ambushed nearly 10,000 troops to attack Fan City!”
"And just as Fan City was in danger, a thousand-man commander of Great Qin, surnamed Qin and named Yi, actually led less than a thousand people and killed the Xiongnu army of more than ten thousand!”
"As such, I believe that this person has greatly boosted the morale of our Great Qin soldiers and should be rewarded!”
General Zhang's words caused quite a commotion in the surroundings.
An army of a thousand could defeat an army of ten thousand?
Ten to one!
What kind of achievement was this!
Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the high platform, could not help but feel shocked when he heard General Zhang's words.
Actually, Qin Yi, the Commander of Fan City, would not have entered the eyes of these big shots who controlled the lifeline of Great Qin.
However, Great Qin did not only have to face the eastern countries, but also the Yue countries to the south.
And the Xiongnu in the northwest was even more of a headache for the Qin country.
Although the countries in Shandong were not on good terms with Qin, they would not casually send troops. The same was true for the Yue. Because of the recent battle for the throne, they did not send troops to compete with Qin.
However, the Xiongnu in the northwest not only repeatedly invaded Great Qin's borders, but they also burned, killed, and looted, causing the people at Great Qin's borders to suffer.
Although Qin wanted to stop it, they did not have the strength to compete with it, so they could only let the Xiongnu run amok at the border.
In this tense moment, if they could repel not just ten thousand, but even a thousand Xiongnu, it would be worth a great contribution.
Fan City's general, Liu Yong, died because he was eager to make contributions.
Lowering his head, Ying Zheng pondered for a while, then murmured softly," Qin Yi, Xiongnu, Qin Yi, Xiongnu..."
After a long while, Ying Zheng looked at the ministers below and said,""How do you think he should be rewarded?"
Hearing Ying Zheng's question about the reward, all the ministers began to discuss in low voices.
At this moment, General Zhang bowed and said,"
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, not only should we reward Qin Yi, but we should also reward him heavily!”
"In recent years, our army has rarely had such a battle record of killing the Xiongnu. If we don't reward them heavily, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our soldiers to convince the masses!”
Hearing General Zhang's words, the generals could not help but nod their heads and agree in a low voice.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng had a conclusion in his heart.
However, he couldn't make the decision.
Therefore, Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Lu Buwei, then said,""Lu Xiangguo, how do you think we should reward him?”
Hearing Ying Zheng's question, Lu Buwei slowly opened his half-opened eyes, and a cold light flashed across them.
Then, Lu Buwei gave Ying Zheng a slight bow.
Looking at the generals, Lu Buwei chuckled and said,"
"Hehe, reward, of course!”
"As for the reward, it's fine, but..."
Lu Buwei paused for a moment, and then his face turned smug." However, we'll have to discuss the extent of the reward."”
"Your Majesty!"
Suddenly, Lu Buwei turned to look at Ying Zheng and said with an indifferent face,""Your Majesty, in my opinion, why don't we raise Qin Yi's title and reward him with some land and property?”
