The officials slowly entered Zhangtai Palace.
Their expressions were restrained and nervous.
After all, the current ruler of the country, Lord Anding, was so ruthless that it made people fear him!
He had just been in charge of the country and killed the imperial clan without authorization, looking like he was going to bring chaos to the court, but the Imperial Clan Court did not dare to interfere!
Li Si stood at the head of the officials, his eyes filled with worry. He looked at the expressions of the officials around him and could only hope that the Emperor would come out of seclusion soon!
Suddenly, the sound of someone singing came from outside the hall.
"Lord Anding has arrived!"
"Lord Anding has arrived!"
"Lord Anding has arrived!"
Accompanied by the singing, a man in a luxurious black robe stepped into the hall. When he saw this figure, the officials all had solemn expressions and respectfully greeted him.
"Greetings, Lord Anding!"
"Greetings, Lord Anding!"
"Greetings, Lord Anding!"
"No need for formalities." Qin An walked to his dragon throne and sat down.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials stood up.
Qin An's expression was indifferent when he saw the nervousness in the eyes of the officials after they stood up. He knew what these people were afraid of. After he killed Huhai, he did not announce the crime.
After all, Huhai was Ying Zheng's favorite youngest son, so it was still up to Ying Zheng to decide whether or not such a crime that would leave its name in history books should be recorded.
As for whether or not the officials would have a grudge against him because of this matter, he could not be bothered to care. During the period when Ying Zheng was in seclusion, he only needed to do one thing, and that was…
He would kill whoever dared to mess with the court!
"Gentlemen, do you have anything to report today?”Qin An sat on the dragon throne and said indifferently.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials fell silent. Wasn't the most important thing recently the death of the eighteenth prince, Huhai?
But Huhai's death…
How could they dare to mention it!
It wasn't like the birthday boy ate arsenicite and despised his long life!
Just as the officials were silent.
At the gate of Xianyang.
A fast horse was approaching at high speed. He raised the iron box calendar in his hand and shouted.
"Urgent report from the border!"
"Open the city gates!"
When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw the red seal in the person's hand, they did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly opened the city gate.
After that, the knight held the iron box sealed with red paint and called for the checkpoints in the city.
Only when they reached Zhangtai Palace were they stopped by several Imperial Army soldiers.
Then, a member of the Black Ice Platform walked out from the darkness and took the iron box from the knight's hand. After confirming that there was no hidden item or that the seal had been unsealed, the member of the Black Ice Platform immediately walked quickly to the hall where the court was discussing.
Urgent report from the border, no delay!
In the court meeting hall.
Qin An's imposing eyes slowly swept across the hall. All the officials bowed their heads, not daring to look directly into Qin An's eyes.
"Since everyone has nothing to report."
"Retreat."
Qin An said indifferently.
"Report!"
"Urgent report from the border!"
At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the conference hall.
Ta Ta Ta Ta!
The hurried footsteps were getting closer.
Soon after, a Black Ice Stage cultivator walked into the hall with a red sealed iron box in his hand.
Seeing the red seal on the metal box, the officials in the hall widened their eyes in surprise.
One had to know that this red sealing paint would only be used when the information was extremely urgent.
The last time something like this happened was when Ying Zheng had just taken over the throne, when the alliance army of Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, and Yan led an army to attack Qin.
The alliance army had defeated the Qin army south of the Yellow River, and the situation was extremely critical.
And now, they saw this shocking red seal once again!
The eunuch beside Qin An quickly walked down the platform and took the metal box from the Black Ice Platform. Then, he returned to Qin An.
"Open!"
Qin An waved his hand and let the eunuch take out the information.
When Qin An slowly unfolded the parchment in his hand and quickly browsed through it, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Then, he handed the parchment to the eunuch and said,""I'm thinking of all of you."
The eunuch respectfully received it, held his breath, and then sang loudly.
"Urgent report from the border!"
"There are hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops north of Jiuyuan County.”
"The situation is extremely urgent!"
There weren't many words on the report, but these few numbers showed the critical situation at the border.
Ever since Ying Zheng unified the world, he had connected the Great Wall of Zhao, Yan, and the other countries together, and sent Meng Tian as a general to guard the Great Wall with 300,000 troops.
If one only looked at the number of 300,000 soldiers, they would think that it was more than enough to guard the northern border.
However, the Great Wall stretched for hundreds of kilometers and had dozens of checkpoints.
If these 300,000 troops were spread out across the border, each important location would only have a few tens of thousands of people.
If these hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers attacked a pass, no matter how elite the Great Qin soldiers were, they would find it difficult to defend.
After the eunuch finished speaking, the court was silent for a moment before an uproar broke out.
"I wonder what happened in the plains that caused these wolf cubs to invade Great Qin!”
"The Xiongnu seized our Great Qin border? How bold!"
"After His Majesty sent the army to attack the grasslands, these Xiongnu fled into the depths of the grasslands and have not seen each other for many years. How dare they enter our Central Plains again!”
After this urgent report appeared, the atmosphere in the court was no longer as oppressive as it had been when Qin An's might had appeared.
Facing these Xiongnu who dared to invade the border, all the officials were filled with righteous indignation and expressed their words of encouragement.
At this moment, Li Si had also recovered from the worry of Qin An killing nine Grandmasters and Huhai's death. He took a step forward and bowed to Qin An.
"Lord Anding, the Xiongnu have mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops this time. This is the strength of the entire tribe.”
"There are hundreds of thousands of people in the North County of the Great Qin Dynasty. If this Hu Lang kills his way into the pass, I'm afraid all lives will be lost.”
"I hope Lord Anding will immediately send troops to reinforce General Meng.”
Although he was restrained by Qin An's might, as the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, he was the leader of all officials.
At this moment, Li Si temporarily put aside his prejudice against Qin An and took on the responsibility of being the prime minister.
Now, he only hoped that while the Emperor was in seclusion, Great Qin would not fall into chaos.
Especially since these Xiongnu were coming menacingly, they were probably plotting something big by attacking Qin with the strength of their entire clan.
If it was not handled properly, it was very likely that an irreversible situation would occur!
Seeing Li Si's words, the other officials also spoke to Qin An, requesting for reinforcements to be sent to the Great Wall.
Huhai died because of Qin An, and this was an internal matter of Great Qin. Ying Zheng would make a decision after he came out of seclusion.
If the Xiongnu invaded the border and massacred the people of the Northern Lands, it would shake the foundation of Great Qin, so these officials naturally knew what was important.
Just as the officials were discussing, Qin An's deep, dignified, and unquestionable voice sounded in the hall.
"This Lord has decided."
"I will personally lead the troops to exterminate these Xiongnu!”
After Qin An finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the imperial court.
They looked at each other and saw the shock on each other's faces.
Faced with Qin An's might, they didn't dare to object, but their hearts were already surging.
Back then, Qin An's Human Massacre had spread throughout the Six Nations and shocked many factions that opposed Qin. In the end, the Six Nations were destroyed and Great Qin unified the world.
But now, he was in charge of governing the country, and his power was monstrous, above millions of people.
The son of a rich man would not sit in the hall.
Why did he choose to personally lead the army north to attack the Xiongnu?？
Was he not afraid that his power would fall to others when he first took over the country?!
The officials looked at the indifferent figure sitting on the dragon throne with shock, but they did not dare to say anything. They only cupped their hands in unison.
"We will obey Lord Anding's orders!"
"We will obey Lord Anding's orders!"
"We will obey Lord Anding's orders!"
Looking at the hundred officials who agreed, Qin An waved his hand indifferently to signal for the court to retreat. His eyes revealed a cold and serious killing intent.
How could a mere Hu slave dare to invade Great Qin?
Last time in the grassland, he did not kill these Hu slaves in order to fight Li Mu. Now that they dared to invade, then...
Exterminate!
