Dumbfounded!
He was stunned!
Looking at Meng Yi, Ying Zheng asked with a confused face,""Meng Qing, are you mistaken? Qin and Zhao were at peace, so why did Zhao come to seek peace?”
"Your Majesty, I don't know!"
"The posthouse sent someone to the palace to report that the envoy from Zhao is very anxious and wants to see the king immediately.”
"That posture is as if the Zhao Country is about to be destroyed.”
Meng Yi did not know anything about it either, and he only reported the news sent by the officials of the posthouse to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, there is something fishy about this matter."
"Maybe this is a conspiracy!”
"Has Your Majesty forgotten that the Yan Country sent an envoy to present the map of Yan Dukang?”
Li Si's expression was solemn as he spoke.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face immediately darkened as he recalled the assassination attempt not long ago.
If his son had not coincidentally broken through to the Land Immortal realm, he might have been assassinated!
"Your Majesty, the chief justice is right!”
"The various countries have been afraid of Great Qin for a long time. They definitely want to assassinate the king and cause internal strife in Great Qin so that we can't go east!”
Wang Wan also nodded in agreement, thinking that this was an assassination.
Once bitten, twice shy.
It was no wonder that they thought this way. Who would have thought that Ying Ziqiu had just destroyed the Yan Country and turned around to attack the Zhao Country?
"Humph!"
"I want to see what they have up their sleeves!？”
"Summon them to Zhangtai Palace for an audience!"
Now that he was prepared, Ying Zheng was not afraid at all. He was ready to see what kind of tricks the Zhao Nation had up its sleeves.
"Yes!"
Meng Yi stood up and left to set up the palace's defenses.
Last time.
The commander of the palace guards had already been killed by Jing Ke's assassination. That was why he could sit on the position of commander of the palace guards.
The safety of the palace could not be neglected!
About an hour later.
All the civil and military officials of the State of Qin were gathered in the main hall of Zhangtai Palace. Ying Zheng sat on the throne, while the Sword Saint Ge Nia and Zhao Gao stood on his left and right respectively.
The two sides of the hall were filled with the majestic Dragon Tiger Imperial Army, and a large number of secret guards were hidden in the dark.
The security was extremely tight!
"Xuan! The envoy of Zhao pays his respects!"
Zhao Gao walked to the top of the steps, and his high-pitched voice reached the outside of the hall.
The envoy of the State of Zhao, Young Master Cong, who was waiting outside, heard Zhao Gao's voice and immediately walked into the main hall of Zhangtai Palace.
He knelt down with a thud!
"Zhao Cong, the envoy of Zhao, greets the King of Qin!”
"Our Zhao State is willing to cede 100 cities, offer a million taels of gold, a thousand boxes of treasures, and a million stones of grain."
"From now on, our Zhao State will bow our heads and become a country under the minister!”
"King Qin, please give the order to retreat!"
Young Master snot and tears flowed down his face as he said a lot.
Ying Zheng and all the ministers of the Qin State were dumbfounded by this sight!
This was…
What was going on?
All the ministers turned to look at Ying Zheng, thinking that he had secretly given the order to attack the State of Zhao!
But...
Ying Zheng was also very confused!
It seemed that the envoy of Zhao really came to sue for peace!
"Envoy of Zhao, don't tease me!”
"I didn't order the army to attack Zhao, so how can I ask for peace?”
Ying Zheng said unhappily, thinking that Zhao Cong was teasing him again.
"Reporting to the King of Qin, although you did not order the Qin Country to send troops, the Second Prince of the Qin Country, Ying Ziqiu, led his men from the Yan Country to attack our Zhao Country!”
"We're almost at Handan now!”
"Your Highness, please quickly give the order for Second Prince Ying Ziqiu to withdraw his troops!”
"Otherwise, our Zhao State will perish!”
Hiss--
Hearing Young Master Cong's words, Ying Zheng and the other ministers of the State of Qin couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, their hearts surging with a storm!
Numb!
Completely numb!
At this moment, they finally understood what had happened and why Young Master Cong was so anxious.
F * ck-
This was…
It was ridiculous!
Ying Zheng remembered that it had been less than half a month since the Yan Kingdom was destroyed, and now they were going to attack the Zhao Kingdom!
Moreover, it was about to be destroyed!？
He was so far away!
"Hahaha! Cai!"
"My son Qiu has the bearing of a war god. He is the Lord of Wu 'an of our Great Qin!”
The surprise came too suddenly!
Ying Zheng could not help but laugh out loud, praising Ying Ziqiu greatly.
In Ying Zheng's heart, Ying Ziqiu was like Bai Qi!
Lord Wu An!
This was a title that only the most outstanding and invincible Great Generals were worthy of.
Li Mu of the State of Zhao, Bai Qi of the State of Qin, Xiang Yan of the State of Chu, and Su Qin!
Every single one of them was like a god of war!
In the entire Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, only these four people had the title of Lord Wu An. Other than them, there was no one else!
From this, it could be seen how high Ying Ziqiu's position had risen in Ying Zheng's heart!
"Your Highness the King of Qin!"
"Our Zhao Country is full of sincerity. Our king listened to the slanderous words of a villain and captured ten cities of the Yan Country. In a few days, he will personally come to Xianyang to apologize to His Highness the King of Qin!”
"Your Highness, please order Second Prince Ying Ziqiu to withdraw his troops.”
Ying Zheng's laughter made Young Master Cong's heart tremble, and he hurriedly begged Ying Zheng to withdraw his troops.
This...
Seeing Young Master Cong and the State of Zhao behaving so humbly, Ying Zheng and the ministers of the State of Qin were almost stunned!
Just for ten cities!
In the end, Ying Ziqiu directly sent troops to attack the State of Zhao. This... He was simply too irritable!
"Your Majesty, Qin and Zhao have always been on good terms. Moreover, Zhao has shown such sincerity. Why don't you order the Second Prince to withdraw his troops?”
"Moreover, the Yan Country has just been destroyed and needs the Second Prince to guard it.”
Chunyu Yue walked out and spoke to Ying Zheng.
As the representative of the scholarly faction in the Imperial Court of the State of Qin, as the hanger-on of the Eldest Young Master Fu Su, he really could not sit idly by and watch Ying Ziqiu achieve matchless feats.
Destroying the Yan Country was already a monstrous achievement. If they destroyed the Zhao Country, their status would be unshakable!
The Eldest Young Master was left with the Eldest Young Master's insignificant advantage!
Chunyu Yue spoke, and many of the Confucian officials agreed.
Zhao Gao, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, was also feeling anxious. However, he was only a eunuch, so he had no right to speak in the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, we cannot retreat!"
"The Second Prince is invincible. He is only one step away from destroying the State of Zhao!”
"Swallow Yan and destroy Zhao. Our Qin Country will occupy half of the country and unify the world. It will be just a matter of time!”
Li Si immediately stood up and said to Ying Zheng.
They were afraid that Ying Zheng would take Chunyu Yue's suggestion on impulse.
At present, Li Si did not have a battle team called Huhai, and he only wanted to help Ying Zheng complete the great cause of unifying the world.
Many ministers echoed Li Si's words.
Both parties started arguing.
Young Master Cong, who was watching from the side, felt nervous and anxious.
This quarrel concerned the life and death of the State of Zhao!
"Report-"
"Your Majesty!"
"General Wang Jian sent someone to deliver an urgent battle report for eight hundred li!”
Instantly!
The voices in the imperial court came to an abrupt halt, and everyone's gaze turned to the outside of the hall!
