In front of the Qin royal palace, the black carriage slowly stopped.
"Young Master, we have arrived at the palace."
The burly young man driving the carriage said respectfully. At the same time, he lifted the curtain for Fu Su and helped him get out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Fu Su couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
This was because the identity of the young man who was driving for him was not ordinary. He was the second son of the Meng family's Great General, Meng Wu, and also the younger brother of the famous general, Meng Tian-Meng Yi!
"Ying Zheng thinks highly of Fusu.”
After finding the identity of the young man in front of him in his memory, Fu Su's heart skipped a beat.
What was the status of Meng tribe in Qin country?
A first-class aristocratic family, a pillar of the country, and a famous general!
First was Meng Ao, then Meng Wu, and then Meng Tian.
Each of them was a top-notch general!
Meng Yi himself was also brave and resourceful, and even Ying Zheng had praised him.
However, it was this son of a famous general with a noble background and a bright future that was appointed by Ying Zheng as his retainer and guard since he was young, which was equivalent to getting him the Meng Clan's help.
It was obvious that he regarded him as his successor!
Meng Yi felt uncomfortable being stared at by Fu Su. He scratched his head and said,""Young Master, what's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"
Hearing this, Fu Su retracted his gaze and said with a faint smile,""Nothing. I just feel that it's a waste of talent for you to be my retainer.”
"Otherwise, with your abilities, you would have long become a general in the army.”
"Young Master, what are you saying!"
Hearing this, Meng Yi's expression immediately turned solemn. He knelt down on one knee and said solemnly,"It's Meng Yi's honor to be a retainer of Young Master!”
"If Young Master becomes the King of Qin in the future, Meng Yi will be the sharp sword in your hand, fighting for Young Master!”
His voice was sonorous and powerful, without the slightest bit of wavering.
The people of Qin valued trust and loyalty, and retainers were the true confidants who could entrust their lives to them.
Furthermore, Meng Yi had been sent here to grow up with Fu Su since he was young. They were called the main subject and were more like brothers.
"Get up, it was just a joke.”
Fu Su patted Meng Yi's shoulder and said with a smile. He had a good impression of this nine-foot-tall man.
Then, he raised his head to look at the Qin royal palace in front of him and directly stepped in.
Along the way, the guards on both sides bowed their heads and saluted.
Meng Yi stood in front of the carriage and looked at Fu Su's tall and slender back with a puzzled expression.
He felt that the young master was a little strange today. He was completely different from when he went out.
It was as if…he had become a different person.
……
The reason why Fu Su entered the palace today was very simple.
The border of Qin was plagued by the Xiongnu. Not long ago, the Xiongnu invaded again, causing many casualties.
Therefore, Ying Zheng summoned his ministers into the palace for a meeting.
Although Fusu did not have any official position, he was the son of the King of Qin, so he had to participate in political affairs.
In the main hall of the Qin royal palace.
In the grand and solemn hall, hundreds of civil and military officials of the State of Qin stood. Fu Su was among them.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the figure on the throne above him with respect in his eyes.
On the throne under the Black Bird totem at the top, a man in a black and red robe and a crown sat with his eyes closed.
Just by sitting there, it was impossible to ignore.
It was like a black dragon lying dormant, choosing people to eat.
His body exuded an invisible majesty that enveloped the entire hall.
No one dared to offend him under this pressure.
This was because the man on the throne was the most respected person in Great Qin.
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng!
Even in the parallel world, the king of Qin still had an unattainable prestige.
Seeing the first emperor of Huaxia's history and the current king, Fu Su had a wonderful feeling.
Ying Zheng did not notice Fu Su's spying.
After a long silence, he opened his eyes and looked at the officials."The Xiongnu have invaded the border again. General Meng Tian requests to gather the army to completely resolve the Xiongnu disaster.”
"What do you think?"
After he spoke, the atmosphere in the hall immediately relaxed a lot.
The ministers began to discuss amongst themselves.
"The Xiongnu have been a disaster at the borders of Great Qin for decades. How easy is it to destroy them?”
"That's right, General Meng Tian was too impulsive.”
"You can't blame General Meng Tian for being angry. The Xiongnu people are cunning. They never invade deeply or face the enemy head-on.”
"If our Great Qin had saddles and stirrels, how could the Xiongnu escape?”
……
The officials in the hall discussed among themselves.
Listening to their discussion, Fu Su's heart stirred. He roughly understood the topic of today's discussion.
Xiongnu was one of the vassal states of the Dayuan Empire.
Ever since a hundred years ago, they had been wreaking havoc at the borders of Great Qin, repeatedly invading and plundering the people at the borders.
However, it was not that Great Qin could not defeat the Xiongnu.
Great Qin had 300,000 soldiers at the border, and they also had two top generals, Meng Wu and Meng Tian, to hold down the fort. It would be easy for them to defeat the Xiongnu.
However, the problem was that the Qin army lacked saddles, stirrels, and other items. Every time they defeated the Xiongnu army, they were unable to pursue them. They could only watch helplessly as they fled.
This happened many times, and the Qin army suffered many casualties.
"Your Majesty, it's useless to gather an army. It's just a waste of rations and troops.”
A minister with a cold expression said.
Fu Su recognized this person. This person was the famous Shang Lord Wei Yang, the one who pushed for the reform of the Qin State!
As soon as he finished speaking, another minister sighed and said,"Lord Shang is right. Without saddles and stirrups, no matter how many soldiers we have, we can't chase after the Xiongnu.”
He was the Right Prime Minister Zhang Yi, who was also Ying Zheng's right-hand man like Wei Yang.
The two ministers spoke, and the hall became much quieter.
It was obvious that they had a lot of prestige among the ministers.
"Wei Yang, Zhang Yi, you have no way?”
Ying Zheng said with a frown.
Hearing this, Wei Yang and Zhang Yi immediately knelt down and kowtowed,""We are incompetent, please punish us!”
"Forget it, get up. It's not your fault.”
Ying Zheng waved his hand and did not argue with them. Instead, he turned his gaze to Li Si.
"Left Minister, how did the Song Country respond?”
"If they are willing to sell their equipment, it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher.”
Li Si hesitated for a moment before saying,""Your Majesty, the Song Country has agreed to sell equipment to Great Qin, but the condition is…that we give up the land of Great Qin.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was immediately enraged!
"Preposterous!"
Ying Zheng slammed the table and stood up, his eyes burning with rage.
"How dare Zhao Gou bully our Great Qin like this? Do you really think I have to beg them?!"
His angry voice echoed in the empty hall.
An unparalleled aura and majesty swept out from his body, causing all the officials in the hall to kneel down, their faces pale.
Ying Zheng's face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with killing intent!
