A few days later, in the Imperial Palace of Xianyang City.
"Your Highness, you're finally back. His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Ying Changqing jumped down from the Flame Foal and saw Zhang Han, who had been waiting for him.
"General Zhang, do you know why Imperial Father urgently summoned this young master back to the capital?”
Ying Changqing asked casually.
"As for the specifics, Your Highness will understand everything after meeting His Majesty!”
Zhang Han said enviously.
"Is that so?"
Ying Changqing casually handed the horsewhip to the lieutenant beside him, then followed Zhang Han all the way to the royal study. He immediately saw Ying Zheng, who was studying the map in front of him.
"I'm back!"
"How was it? How was your trip to Xianyang?”
Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaling Ying Changqing to sit down before he spoke.
"It's alright. I've already taken care of most of the surviving members of the six dynasties who dared to show up. The remaining small portion will definitely be well-behaved for a period of time.”
"As for Zhang Liang, Xiang Liang, and the others who can still pose a threat to Great Qin, your son has already made arrangements and is waiting for the time to draw in the net.”
Ying Changqing took the cup of hot tea from Gao Yi and drank it in one gulp.
"The effect is not bad, but the commotion it caused is not small at all.”
Ying Zheng pointed at a pile of files on the right side of the table, which was as big as a small mountain, and said,""Do you see that? These are all memorials impeaching you for your wanton acts and your cruelty and bloodlust!”
"Also, the morning court assembly every day is almost turning into a meeting to denounce you!”
Ying Zheng said with a stern face, as if he was a strict father teaching his son.
"Only this little, compared to your son's expectations, it's already much less.”
"It seems that your son's actions have already had a certain effect.”
"From this aspect, Imperial Father should praise your son!”
Ying Changqing said indifferently.
"Is that so?"
Ying Zheng gave a noncommittal smile.
"Of course, these officials all appear dignified and conscientious on the surface, but in reality, each of them has their own thoughts.”
"Even though the remnants of the Six Nations and the Confucians were involved in the matter of Great Qin restoring the enfeoffment system, without the tacit approval of the various counties and officials, it would not have been possible for it to become so powerful.”
"To put it bluntly, these officials clearly know the pros and cons of the enfeoffment system and the prefecture system, but for the sake of their own losses, they still choose to support the enfeoffment system regardless of Great Qin's interests.”
"This time, the reason why they are attacking your son is because your son has used the traditional concept of 'not being able to punish a great official' and caused these people to feel a little sad.”
"For only so few people to dare to impeach me, it already shows that your son's violent reputation has caused most people to have scruples.”
"As long as it is effective, your son doesn't care what they think of your son.”
"Many times, being a little violent can actually have a better effect!”
"At least after your son executed the county governor and county captain of Kuaiji Prefecture in public, the officials of the Old Chu region became much more well-behaved. They no longer dared to keep in touch with the remnants of the six dynasties.”
"This isn't something that can be done with compassion.”
said Ying Changqing with a faint smile.
"You can always find a bunch of twisted logic for Imperial Father!”
"Do you know why Imperial Father urgently summoned you back this time?”
Seeing the determination on Ying Changqing's face, Ying Zheng did not pursue the matter any further, but changed the topic.
With his eyes, he could naturally see who was truly thinking for Great Qin, so how could he blame Ying Changqing?
"I wasn't sure before, but after entering the hall, the map on the wall gave me a hint.”
"Father, you probably want to use troops against the Xiongnu and completely resolve this border problem that has plagued the Central Plains for thousands of years, right?”
Ying Changqing answered with a smile.
"That's right. Long before the establishment of the Great Qin Empire, Imperial Father had already gathered Wang Jian and the other veteran generals in the army to begin preparing a punitive expedition against the Xiongnu.”
"Among them, Meng Tian took the initiative to attack three times and received some results. From the hands of the Xiongnu, she recovered the Hetao land and pushed the front line back to the grassland.”
"However, due to the fact that the soldiers were not familiar with the geography of the grasslands, they were unable to achieve the desired results.”
"In addition, the national treasury is completely empty, and we don't have enough food. The northern expedition against the Xiongnu can only be temporarily put on hold.”
"Now, Evergreen, you've confiscated a large amount of money and food from the remnants of the six dynasties and lawless gentry. It's enough to support an army of 300,000 soldiers for a year, and it's enough for Great Qin to launch a northern expedition.”
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
Ying Changqing nodded slightly.
From the moment the Central Plains Dynasty was born, the foreign tribes of the grasslands were the greatest threat to the entire Central Plains. Although there were many internal reasons for the demise of the dynasties, they were all related to the grassland barbarians.
The destruction of the Shang Dynasty was due to the rebellion of Dongyi. The main force of Zhaoge was transferred to the border by King Zhou to suppress the rebellion. Only the slave-dominated third-line army was left in the capital, which was extremely empty. That was why it was destroyed by Zhou.
The fall of Western Zhou was also caused by the destruction of the relationship between King You of Zhou and the vassal states after he had toyed with them. Quan Rong took the opportunity to break into the capital city, Haojing.
The rise of Great Qin was also due to the destruction of Western Zhou. After sending troops to escort King Ping of Zhou to the east, Great Qin was officially conferred the title of Duke.
Old Qin's territory was completely taken back from the grassland non-humankind bit by bit with the lives and blood of generations of Old Qin.
Qin Zhong, Duke Zhuang of Qin, Duke Xiang of Qin, the three successive kings of Qin had all fallen on the battlefield of the crusade against Xirong.
The domineering manner in which Great Qin's army had swept through the six countries was something that they had gained from fighting against the Outsiders!
Every old Qin man dreamed of completely destroying the grassland tribes and consoling the martyrs who sacrificed themselves on the battlefield!
In history, the reason why the First Emperor didn't completely solve the problem in the north and changed to building the Great Wall was entirely because of the instability of the country.
Now, because of Ying Changqing's arrival, Great Qin's treasury was much more abundant than it had been in history. The talented and bold First Emperor naturally would not miss such an opportunity!
"Imperial Father, your son will definitely support the northern expedition against the Xiongnu!”
"However, your son has different opinions on how to carry out the northern expedition and the next step after the success of the northern expedition!”
Ying Changqing pondered for a long time before speaking.
"Speak!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said.
Indeed, this time, he had done the right thing by calling his son back from Kuaiji.
He wondered what kind of surprise his son, who had already brought him so much shock, would have in store for him.
