Envy flashed across the faces of the officials.
The King of Qin had personally proposed a toast in front of hundreds of thousands of people and all the civil and military officials. It was imaginable that Ying Che's reputation and popularity would definitely rise to a higher level once this news spread.
In order to pave the way for His Highness Ying Che, His Majesty really took great pains!
"Thank you, Father!"
"This son's victory was all due to the unity of the soldiers, the support of the people, and the trust of father!”
Ying Che smiled and took the wine cup, downing it in one gulp."After drinking this cup of wine, your son has a big gift for father!”
"Are you Yan Wangxi and Zhao Wangjia?”
" Two kings of enemy countries," Ying Zheng said with a smile," you should drink another cup!"”
"Good!"
"Great Qin's Heavenly Might!"
Seeing King Xi of Yan and King Jia of Zhao being escorted out by the Snowy Dragon Knights, the onlookers cheered.
This was not the first time Great Qin had captured two enemy leaders alive, but it was the first time it had done so in public.
All the citizens who witnessed it were proud of it. This was a great event that could be boasted about for decades to come!
Ying Zheng's face was also filled with pride.
Back when he was a hostage in the State of Zhao, Ying Zheng had suffered a lot of humiliation, especially after his father, Yi Ren, fled back to the State of Qin alone. Ying Zheng and his mother, Concubine Zhao, had been running around the State of Zhao searching for him, and had suffered a lot.
It was at that time that the root of Ying Zheng's weak bones started to form.
Previously, when Wang Jian destroyed Handan, he allowed Wang Jia and the others of Zhao Dynasty to escape from Dai Land. This had always been regarded as a regret by Ying Zheng. Now, it was finally made up for by his most outstanding son.
With the additional gift from the King of Yan, the smile on Ying Zheng's face grew even wider.
"Che 'er, I'm very satisfied with your gift.”
Ying Zheng said with a gratified expression.
The historian behind him was writing furiously, proudly recording this glorious scene into the annals of history.
"Father, please wait a moment. This is only your son's first gift to you!”
Ying Che laughed.
Ying Zheng could not help but smile.
This son of his was indeed still the same as before.
He even dared to keep her in suspense in front of his father.
However, at this moment, Ying Zheng was in a good mood, so he naturally would not care about such trifles. Instead, he smiled and said,""Che 'er, if your second gift doesn't satisfy father, you will have to drink three cups of wine as punishment!”
"How can three cups be enough? I need at least nine cups!”
"In the future, we will go to the altar. Your Highness used to be known as a magnanimous person in Xianyang City. How can you not enjoy yourself?”
Seeing that Ying Zheng was in a good mood, the group of generals who had been envious of Ying Che for a long time immediately came up to him and shouted.
Ying Che couldn't help but laugh.
Are these veteran ruffians planning to give me a 'passionate' show of strength?
Unfortunately, you've found the wrong target.
With a light wave of his hand, Wang Li and the others had already escorted hundreds of fully loaded carriages to the front of the imperial carriage.
"This son was ordered by my father to inspect the land of Yan. I encountered some ignorant tyrants and evil gentry who embezzled the property that originally belonged to Great Qin. It took me some effort to get them to return!”
"For this reason, I have caused a commotion. Please punish me, Father!”
Ying Che introduced with a smile.
Ying Zheng glared at Ying Che in annoyance.
Sweeping away all the nobles in the Land of Yan, this was also called a little commotion?
The memorials of impeachment from all over the world could fill the royal study several times.
However, Ying Zheng did not intend to pursue this matter.
In the end, they had solved the problem of Great Qin's army's supply, and they even had some surplus. The result was quite impressive.
"Father, these carriages are all filled with gold!”
Seeing Ying Zheng's indifferent look, Ying Che immediately reminded him.
The surrounding officials all sucked in a breath of cold air.
"These carriages are all carrying gold?”
Even Ying Zheng could not help but widen his eyes.
"That's right!"
"Each of these hundred carriages contains twenty chests of gold. On average, each chest contains five hundred taels of gold.”
"Other than that, there are eight million taels of silver, thirteen million strings of copper coins, and countless pieces of silk. The total value is about two million three hundred and fifty thousand seven hundred and sixty-three taels of gold!”
Ying Che said with a smile.
At this moment, even Ying Zheng was completely shocked.
"2.3 million taels of gold is more than ten years 'worth of income for Great Qin's treasury!”
After destroying Korea, he was awarded the position of internal history of grain management. Neishi Teng, whose hair had turned white from worrying about the emptiness of the national treasury all day long, rushed to the front of the carriage without caring about his manners.
He casually opened one of the chests, and what entered his eyes was a dazzling gold. One look and he knew that it was high-grade pure gold!
"With so much gold, we can buy at least ten million dans of grain. Great Qin will no longer have to worry about not having enough money to attack Weichu!”
Wang Jian and the other veteran generals in the army were also stunned. They recalled the helplessness they felt when they were forced to stop the meeting in the Imperial Court a month ago due to insufficient rations. All of them could not help but face the sky and sigh.
"With ten more years of income from the national treasury, we can build many canals and roads. Great Qin's strength can finally rise greatly!”
Li Si and the other civil officials 'eyes lit up as well. Looking at the boxes of gold, it was as if they were looking at a bright future.
To be able to reach this stage, they had experienced countless political affairs. Naturally, they understood the importance of money to the country. They had lost a lot of hair because of the lack of money and food.
And now, it was finally the dawn!
Just this alone made it worth it to go out of the city to welcome the triumphant return of the Third Young Master!
Lord Chang Ping and the others had bitter expressions.
This Ying Che was too heaven-defying.
With such a huge gift, the entire imperial court, which had a bad impression of Ying Che, was completely conquered by him.
Just by looking at the wolf-like and tiger-like eyes of those generals, one could tell how grateful and respectful they were to Ying Che.
There was also Neishi Teng, Meng Yi, and the others. Their gazes were not any better.
In the future, attacking Ying Che in the Imperial Court would be even more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
Just how monstrous was this Ying Che to be so scheming!
To be enemies with such a person was truly too despairing!
Zhao Gao's face darkened as he looked at the dumbstruck Huhai. His heart sank to the bottom.
For now, he could only hope that the plan he had agreed on the day before could be realized. Otherwise, if he wanted to turn the tables, he was afraid...
Sigh, why is this Ying Che so heaven-defying?
The commoners were also overjoyed.
With sufficient treasury, it meant that they could build more irrigation roads and reduce the corvee. All the commoners would benefit from this!
"Your Highness, how can there be any blind country bumpkins and bullies? This one is willing to be Your Highness's vanguard!”
Li Xin, Xin Sheng, and the others, who had always been straightforward, rushed to Ying Che excitedly, their eyes shining.
The officials at the side also nodded.
Faced with this astronomical amount of wealth, no one felt that there was anything wrong with Ying Che attacking the nobles of Yan City. All they could think about was where they could find so much wealth.
Ying Che smiled.
As expected, using mountains of gold and silver to smash it was the simplest and most effective method.
As long as there were enough of them, the courtiers of Great Qin, and even his father Ying Zheng, would be completely tempted.
With this, it was needless to say that when Great Qin destroyed the other countries, the royal family and the other nobles would not be able to escape as easily as they did in the future.
"Che 'er, your second gift has really given father a huge surprise!”
Even Ying Zheng had to spend a long time before he finally came back to his senses. The way he looked at Ying Che was filled with satisfaction.
With this talented son, Great Qin's future was no longer a concern.
Today, his father had been taught a lesson by his son.
And it was a lesson that made Ying Zheng extremely gratified and happy!
"Che 'er, you've grown so fast that even father doesn't know how to praise you!”
Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Che for a long time, then suddenly said seriously.
"Ying Che, listen up!"
"Your son is here!"
Ying Che quickly replied.
The officials also withdrew their thoughts and listened attentively.
Because they knew very well what the next moment would mean!
