The wind was cold and the night was dark. The entire Xianyang City had fallen into a lonely silence.
However, the Xianyang Palace was still brightly lit.
Inside Xianyang Palace.
The solemn and dignified palace was already covered in white at this moment, and there was a look of grief inside.
The bed in the center had been replaced by a coffin, and Crown Prince Ying Zheng and Queen Zhao Ji were keeping vigil for it.
At that moment, all of Great Qin's important officials had gathered in the hall. All of them had been covered in white cloth and had lowered their heads in grief.
As Lord Yongyang, Ying Tiangang and Zong Zheng Ying Ji also took on the heavy responsibility of welcoming the officials.
Soon, after the officials paid their respects to the king, Ying Tiangang gathered all the officials together.
This was especially so for the most senior of Great Qin's Generals, Duke Huan, as well as Generals like Wang Jian, who had just made a name for himself.
"Everyone should already know what I said about the six countries reuniting!
Although the king was unfortunate, Great Qin could not be without a master for a day. Now that there was a strong enemy outside, the story of the six countries joining forces was about to unfold.
I suggest that our top priority is to ask the Crown Prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible in three days to prevent Great Qin from losing its leader.”
Ying Tiangang and Lu Buwei were the important ministers entrusted by King Zhuang Xiang before his death. The two of them stepped forward together.
With Ying Tiangang, the person in charge of this crisis in the State of Qin, stepping forward, the moment he opened his mouth, he said something that no one present could refute.
When Ying Tiangang said this, both Lu Buwei and the other old generals agreed.
Normally, after the King of Qin died, the Crown Prince would have to mourn for a period of time. However, the situation was quite critical, and Great Qin could not wait any longer!
A new King had to appear immediately to stabilize Great Qin's morale and better mobilize Great Qin's forces to prepare for the war!
"Lord Yongyang, what you said makes sense. We have no objections! However, he didn't know if Lord Yongyang had any countermeasures against the six dynasties 'alliance. What should I do next?"
As the most experienced veteran among the veterans, he spoke on behalf of the generals.
As for the civil officials, Lu Buwei alone was enough.
Duke Hun still attached great importance to the alliance of the six states. He wanted to see what method Lord Yongyang had to deal with this difficult situation.
"Duke Huan, you don't need to worry. I dare to boast before the king's death, so I'm confident!
Other than the new king taking over the throne as soon as possible, the most important thing now is to send someone to warn Meng Ao and General Wang He, who are still far away at the front line, to stop their attacks and be prepared to cooperate with me!
Three days later, when the new king ascends the throne, I will personally lead the elites to the front line to fight!
"In this battle, Duke Huan and Minister Lyu are needed to guard Xianyang. Minister Lyu, please guarantee the logistics, food, and weapons support of the army. I will bring Wang Jian and Meng Wu to fight!”
Ying Tiangang didn't hesitate to tell him his plan.
Hearing this, Duke Hun's eyes moved slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. However, he seemed to have thought of something very quickly.
He glanced at Ying Tiangang who was extremely confident. He could vaguely see the figure of a white-robed scholarly man. At this moment, the two of them were continuously overlapping! The same high-spirited spirit, the same young confidence!
He did not know who he saw, but he did not say anything in the end!
Moreover, Duke Hun was very clear that although Ying Tiangang was not very famous outside, it did not mean that the other party's military strength was weak.
As an old general, how could he not know about the past? His teacher was that person!
Even if he couldn't withstand it, there was still someone who could take action, right? He could also test if the other party was still there!
If it was, then it would be Great Qin's fortune!
Moreover, Ying Tiangang had brought Wang Jian and Meng Wu along this time. They were all rising stars.
Especially Wang Jian, who was steady and experienced in leading troops. With him around, there would not be any major losses. Meng Wu also led the elite cavalry of the Meng family and was also a rare general in the Qin army.
With the two of them, as well as Wang He and Meng Ao, the two old generals, it was enough to ensure that the front line would not fall!
However, what Duke Huan didn't expect was that winning this battle against Tiangang wasn't just about defending the front line and resisting the six countries 'alliance. His ambition was even greater!
What he wanted was to take this opportunity to weaken the strength of the six dynasties with his greatest efforts. It would be best if he could wipe out the alliance army outside Hangu Pass!
When Lu Buwei saw that even the most experienced Duke Huan did not have any doubts about Ying Tiangang, he couldn't help but secretly guess what kind of past did this Lord Yongyang have?
What kind of strength did he have? It seemed that none of the generals present expressed any doubts about him.
As for Wang Jian and Meng Wu, who had been pointed out by Ying Tiangang, they were even more eager to give it a try. They were extremely excited. After all, wasn't the purpose of a general to one day be put in an important position and be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country?
Wang Jian and Meng Wu could not wait any longer!
Especially when their opponent was the famous Lord Xinling, this made these generals even more restless! No one would be afraid! No one would be afraid!
Qin revered martial arts, and the wind of iron and blood could be firmly engraved in the blood of every Qin person. The more war they fought, the happier they were!
This was because this indicated countless battle achievements!
After the discussion, the officials, including Lu Buwei, left one after another. They needed to make preparations for the inauguration ceremony in three days. At the same time, they needed time to gather food and military supplies!
"Huff huff!"
The cold wind howled and blew in from outside the hall. The lights in the hall flickered dimly.
At this moment, only Crown Prince Ying Zheng was left in Xianyang Palace, keeping vigil. Queen Zhao Ji had fainted due to excessive grief, and was hurriedly sent to the palace to rest.
"Zheng 'er, how do you feel now? In another three days, you will sit on the throne that represents responsibility and the burden of Great Qin!”
Ying Tiangang walked over slowly. He looked at the coffin in front of him, and his eyes could not help but show a hint of sorrow and nostalgia. But, what he cared about the most was Ying Zheng, who had been kneeling in front of the coffin.
