Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment.
In the court, Ying Zheng and all the officials were breathing heavily, and their hearts were beating so fast that they were about to jump out of their throats!
Ying Ziqiu had once again refreshed their understanding!
A million people!
This was a huge number!
Back then, the small countries such as the State of Wei, the State of Song, and the State of Lu that were destroyed only had this much population!
After a long time…After a long time…After a long time…
Only then did Ying Zheng and a group of civil and military officials come back to their senses from the shocking battle report.
His face was still filled with shock, fear, and shock.
This kind of thing.
Just hearing it made one's heart jump. It was hard to imagine how Ying Ziqiu did it!
Was his heart made of steel?？
"Father, we really can't let second brother take command of the army anymore!”
"He's too cruel and bloodthirsty!”
"Not long ago, he just killed 400,000 people from the Yan Country. Now, he has killed a million Xiongnu. I wonder how many people he will kill next time!”
"If he continues to be in charge of the army, the world will definitely be plunged into misery!”
Fu Su stood up and knelt down, begging Ying Zheng to take back Ying Ziqiu's military power.
When Fu Su, who had received Confucian education since he was young, heard this battle report, he was so shocked that he almost fainted!
Ever since he was young, he had never killed a chicken.
When he suddenly heard that such a person had died at Ying Ziqiu's hands, he simply couldn't accept it!
This was the typical attitude of a saint.
His brain had already been completely corrupted by the old ideas of the Confucians!
"Your Majesty, the First Prince is right!”
"The Second Prince is cruel and tyrannical. He massacred soldiers on the battlefield one after another!”
"If the Second Prince continues to command soldiers, how will the world view Great Qin? How will you view the king?"
Chunyu Yue strongly agreed with Fu Su, trying to take away Ying Ziqiu's military power.
Ying Ziqiu, who had lost his military power, would no longer be able to continue making outstanding contributions.
So it was.
The threat to Young Master Fu Su's future fight for the throne would be greatly reduced.
The group of Confucian officials followed closely behind and spoke out to impeach Ying Ziqiu.
It wasn't just the Confucian officials.
Even Imperial Censor Wang Wan, State Wei Liao, and Right Prime Minister Feng Quji couldn't help but step forward to reprimand Ying Ziqiu.
What Ying Ziqiu did this time was completely beyond the scope of what they could bear!
Not everyone had a strong heart like Ying Ziqiu!
He looked at the ministers who were all impeaching and scolding Ying Ziqiu, especially when his eldest son, Fu Su, was leading the way.
Ying Zheng shook his head slightly and sighed slightly, feeling even more disappointed.
In Ying Zheng's eyes.
He did not think that his second son, Ying Ziqiu, had done anything wrong.
On the contrary!
He did the right thing!
The Xiongnu had always been a major threat to the Central Plains. Due to their living habits and geographical location, it was impossible to eradicate them.
Ying Zheng had once thought about connecting all the Great Walls along the borders of the Yan Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, and Qin Kingdom after he unified the world. He wanted to build a Great Wall of ten thousand miles to guard against these Xiongnu and protect the peace of the people on the border.
Without a doubt, this would be an extremely huge project. Who knew how much manpower, material resources, and financial resources it would consume.
Now, you don't have to think about it at all.
The Xiongnu were gone!
There was no need to worry anymore!
Ying Zheng believed that although his second son's action was a little shocking and shocking, it was still a meritorious deed that could ensure the stability of the border for hundreds of years!
As a mighty and resourceful emperor, Ying Zheng's vision was undoubtedly much, much higher than these ministers!
They only saw Ying Ziqiu's cruelty, but they didn't know the profound meaning behind his actions.
"Silence!"
Ying Zheng spat out a single word, carrying with it a strong imperial might.
The noisy court instantly quieted down.
Many of the ministers still had lingering anger towards Ying Ziqiu on their faces.
Li Si, what do you think about this?" Ying Zheng turned to his trusted minister, whom he had personally promoted and trusted the most, and wanted to hear his opinion.
He wanted to see if Li Si was as short-sighted as these ministers.
"Your Majesty!"
"I believe that the Second Prince has done nothing wrong and has made great contributions.”
Li Si's voice was sonorous, filled with deep admiration for Ying Ziqiu.
As Ying Zheng's number one strategist, Li Si's vision was still very far-sighted. As the representative of Legalism, he was not as pedantic as the Confucians.
Even though Ying Ziqiu's actions caused him to be shocked and terrified, this didn't hinder his admiration and respect for Ying Ziqiu.
From Ying Ziqiu's actions, Li Si seemed to see a strengthened version of Ying Zheng.
Character, talent, and tactics were everywhere!
He would be the most suitable successor to the Qin country's next ruler!
"Ridiculous words!"
"I don't deny that the Second Prince destroyed Yan and Zhao, expanding the territory of Great Qin.”
"But this does not conceal the fact that he is cruel, cold, and bloodthirsty!”
" Kill a million Xiongnu in one battle!"
" How is this not wrong?!"
When Chunyu Yue heard Li Si's words, he immediately refuted.
The previous incident in Yan Country did not successfully suppress Ying Ziqiu's power. This time, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity!
"The Xiongnu is the disease of the Central Plains!”
"Lord Chun Yu, do you know how many people of the Central Plains are plundered, slaughtered, and robbed by the Xiongnu every year?”
"To us Central Plainsmen, the Xiongnu are no different from man-eating beasts!”
"Destroying them is for the sake of the people, for the peace of the border, and for the stability of the world!”
"This is the work of a thousand years!"
Li Si analyzed rationally and explained the benefits of destroying the Xiongnu.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
As expected of the person he admired. His vision was not so narrow and did not disappoint him.
When some of the officials heard Li Si's analysis, they gradually calmed down and felt that it made sense. They were no longer so angry at Ying Ziqiu for destroying the Xiongnu.
"Not bad!"
"Ziqiu's actions are meritorious for thousands of years!"
"When Zi Qiu returns, I will reward him generously!”
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking.
Chunyu Yue's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten sh * t!
Fu Su wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Ying Zheng.
"Alright!"
"You'd better go back and study your Sage Book!”
Boom!
Ying Zheng's words were like a thunderclap in the ears of all the ministers in the imperial court!
All the ministers who were able to sit in the Imperial Court were smart people, so they could hear the deep disappointment in Ying Zheng's words.
His Majesty's words…
What did it mean?
