When they saw Ying Qian enter, Ma He and the others who were still spouting nonsense earlier froze and subconsciously bowed and cupped their hands.
"Greetings, Third Young Master!"
Ying Qian cupped his hands and returned the greeting. He sat on the empty soft couch and asked with a smile,"Were you talking about me just now?"
"Now that this Young Master has arrived, if any of you are dissatisfied, you can tell this Young Master face to face.”
"Third Young Master, you worry too much," said Lu Buwei with a smile.”
"The officials are not dissatisfied with the Third Young Master. They are just angry that he did not fight for it.”
Ying Qian raised his eyebrows.”
"However, don't say anything about being obsessed with merchants. Minister Lyu is in this royal study.”
"I don't mind such comments, but Minister Lu might not be the same.”
Ma He's face instantly turned pale.
He had forgotten that Lu Buwei was a famous merchant in the past!
Lu Buwei couldn't maintain the smile on his face.
In this environment where business was cheap, Lu Buwei had always been wary of his former occupation.
Lu Buwei didn't deny that he used to be a businessman, but it didn't mean that he was willing to let others talk about it.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Lu Buwei said calmly,"
"Third Young Master, as a young master of the royal family, if you are already sixteen this year, you should naturally contribute to the country.”
"In that case, the Imperial Court can also award the Third Young Master with a title of nobility based on this merit.”
"Moreover, the people are discussing the fact that Third Young Master has yet to be conferred the title of Marquis. Now, the rumors in the city are already spreading.”
"The public opinion is fierce, and we should agree. Otherwise, it will deal a huge blow to the prestige of the Great Qin royal family!”
"That's why I advise that in this war against Zhao, Third Young Master will lead a single army.”
" I have not agreed to this war against Zhao!" Ying Zheng shouted coldly.”
Lu Buwei was still in control of the imperial court. If he won this battle, it would certainly increase his power in the court.
Lu Buwei turned a blind eye to Ying Zheng's furious gaze, and cupped his hands again.
"Your Majesty, the war against Zhao is inevitable!”
"The Yellow River burst its banks, and the people's hearts are unstable. Only war can shift the conflict among the people.”
"After this disaster relief, the Great Qin treasury is already worrying. Only by conquering the Zhao country and plundering its money and food can we make up for the lack.”
Ying Zheng fell into silence.
Unlike other countries that would recuperate after a disaster, the Great Qin Empire had always been ready to fight, even after Ying Zheng took over the throne.
An earthquake in the State of Qin? Attack Korea and seize Yiyang!
An earthquake in the State of Zhao? Attack Zhao and destroy the country!
Qin country's poor harvest? Attack Yan and destroy the country!
If a natural disaster occurred within Great Qin, they would go on a war to support the country.
Natural disasters in other countries? Then he would go on an expedition against the outside world and take the opportunity to expand his territory!
Therefore, Ying Zheng could not refute Lu Buwei's words at all. He could only change the topic and say,""Even if you want to attack Zhao, Third Young Master shouldn't have followed the army.”
"Third Young Master has never practiced military strategy. Allowing Third Young Master to go out with the army is not only irresponsible for Third Young Master's life, but also irresponsible for the soldiers under his command!”
Lu Buwei chuckled.”
"Young Master also needs to train to become the backbone of Great Qin. The price of training is something that Great Qin can afford.”
Ying Zheng clenched his fists and looked at Lu Buwei coldly.
"I disagree!"
Attacking Zhao again!
A year ago, during the same war against Zhao, the ministers advised Ying Chengjiao to lead the south army.
Ying Chengjiao left in high spirits, but when he returned, only his bones were left. He was even labeled as a thief!
Today, a year later, these officials were actually going to let their third brother attack Zhao again.
Do you really want to slaughter my brothers before you are satisfied?
The officials looked at each other.
This was definitely the most intense confrontation between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei since he returned to the Qin State.
If neither side gave in, today might be the day when Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng would completely fall out with each other.
His Majesty was willing to do this for the Third Young Master!
However, Lu Buwei did not back down.""I hope Your Majesty will agree!"
In the royal study, Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng were in a stalemate, not giving in to each other.
The courtiers did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would become the fuse of this bloody battle in the palace.
In the silence, a confident voice sounded.
"Since you are arguing whether this Young Master wants to go to war, why don't you ask this Young Master?”
Looking at Ying Qian's high-spirited face, Lu Buwei raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile,""Oh?"
"Third Young Master, do you have any thoughts?"
"This Young Master does have the desire to lead an army to battle!" Ying Qian laughed.”
Ying Zheng slapped the table with his right hand and stood up abruptly.
"Ridiculous!"
"Didn't I tell you not to drink too much of that General's wine?”
"Now, you actually came to the palace in such a drunken state?”
"Men, drag this drunk man out!”
Ying Zheng shouted angrily, but Ying Qian felt a warmth in his heart.
Ying Qian understood that Ying Zheng's reprimand was just to use Ying Qian's drunkenness as an excuse to nullify the words that Ying Qian had just said.
Ying Qian cupped his hands and bowed.”
"Foolish little brother does indeed have the intention of leading the army into battle, but if the target of this battle is Zhao, then Foolish little brother will not go.”
"At the same time, I have another condition.”
"Oh?" Lu Buwei looked at Ying Qian playfully.”
"If Third Young Master is not willing to attack Zhao, then which country should we attack?”
"Attack Han!" Ying Qian said seriously.
"If we attack Zhao in this battle, I would rather die than go!”
"If we attack Han and meet my conditions, I will follow the army!”
Wang Jian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth."Your Majesty, Minister Lu, I believe that attacking Zhao right now is not the best choice.”
"The country of Zhao is now very strong, and there are famous generals like Li Mu, Pang He, and Hu Noir.”
"If Great Qin starts a war with them, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.”
"Attacking Korea is more suitable for Great Qin!”
The other two generals looked at each other and nodded slightly."Indeed, attacking Han is slightly better than attacking Zhao.”
For a moment, Ying Zheng was at a loss.
Could it be that Ying Qian was prepared for this?
Otherwise, why would the military strategy that he proposed, even Wang Jian rather approve of it?
Lu Buwei's smile became even brighter.”
Ying Qian chuckled." I'll be in charge of the military rations for my troops. The Imperial Court will pay according to the standard."”
Lu Buwei was stunned for a moment before he laughed loudly,""This matter is easy!"
Was this the so-called death for wealth and death for food?
I haven't even used 30% of my strength, and I haven't even finished preparing the public opinion, and this matter has already been settled?
" Since all of you have advised us to attack Korea," Lu Buwei shouted loudly." We will attack Korea this time."”
"I hope that Third Young Master will follow my orders and go to war!"
Ying Zheng still wanted to refute Lu Buwei and stop Ying Qian from going out with the army, but Ying Qian and the other officials had already bowed and cupped their hands.
"Understood!"
