Chapter 42-Xu Fu Entering the Palace! (Advance notice, tonight at midnight!)
Xianyang Palace.
Morning court.
Today's morning court session was obviously much quieter.
In the Town Hall, except for a few memorials, the Censorate led by Feng Quji was unusually quiet.
Everyone could see that the Imperial Censorate was missing several important figures.
For example, Chunyu Yue and Mao Jiao.
As for Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, he did not appear in the court today.
Everyone realized a problem.
Something might have happened to the Imperial Censorate.
Yesterday, after the censorate failed to impeach Kong Yu, the news of him instigating hundreds of Confucians to attack Kong Yu had spread.
Kong Yu was assassinated.
Fortunately, he was neither dead nor injured.
However, Chunyu Yue and the others were charged with the crime of assassinating the Crown Prince's tutor.
After autumn, he was beheaded and his family was exiled.
This was the will of the emperor sitting on the throne.
No one dared to resist.
Feng Quji was also punished to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.
In the court today, the only civil official left was Left Prime Minister Li Si, who was sitting alone in the front row.
"Your Majesty, the autumn harvest is just around the corner. There have been scouts from Shangjun reporting that the Xiongnu people entrenched in Hetao have begun to gather their forces.”
"If my guess is correct, the Xiongnu will definitely invade the south during the autumn harvest.”
"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to send troops to Shangjun to attack the Xiongnu.”Meng Tian, who was clad in armor, took a step forward and said to Ying Zheng, who was standing in the palace.
Was the war going to start again?
The officials in the hall looked at Meng Tian.
There would definitely be a war between Great Qin and the Xiongnu.
This was something that everyone agreed with.
However, the problem was how this battle would be fought, when it would be fought, and who would be sent to fight it was unknown.
Behind the beaded curtain, Ying Zheng wore the imperial robe on his head, and his eyes were as clear as water.
When Meng Tian mentioned the Xiongnu, Ying Zheng could not help but recall Kong Yu's words.
If what Kong Yu said was true…
Then, would Great Qin be able to deal with the Xiongnu once and for all?
The Xiongnu were nomadic people.
He had no fixed residence.
It was not difficult to defeat them, but to completely destroy them was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
The only way to bring peace to Great Qin was to build a barrier that prevented the Xiongnu Cavalry from going south.
In the past, the Zhao and Yan countries had such great walls to resist the Xiongnu.
Therefore, he also wanted to build a Great Wall, a Great Wall that had only existed since ancient times.
However, doing so would consume countless financial resources and manpower.
However, if it was as Kong Yu had said, Great Qin would not need the Great Wall anymore if they could directly eliminate the Xiongnu threat.
Ying Zheng sat behind the table, deep in thought.
It seemed that he needed to go find Kong Yu again.
"There's no hurry now. We'll discuss it in two days.”
After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng first rejected Meng Tian's suggestion.
Meng Tian quietly returned to her seat and did not say anything else.
"Your Majesty, there's one more thing. Xu Fu from Langya has already arrived in Luoyang two days ago. Yesterday, he sent a memorial asking for Your Majesty's permission to go east to sea.”
Chang Feng and Gan Cheng, one of the Nine Ministers, stepped forward and cupped their hands in salute to Ying Zheng.
Xu Fu.
Upon hearing these two words, Ying Zheng suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Kong Yu yesterday.
After returning to the Imperial Palace yesterday, Ying Zheng had wanted to summon Xu Fu.
He wanted to see if Kong Yu was telling the truth and if Xu Fu was lying to him.
However, it was delayed because of Chunyu Yue.
Hearing Gan Cheng's words, Ying Zheng suddenly remembered this matter.
So he waved his hand and said,"Retreat from the court. Summon Xu Fu into the palace for an audience!"”
Having said that, Ying Zheng stood up and left the Town Hall.
..........
Xianyang City Courier Station.
Xu Fu, who had traveled thousands of miles from Langya County, was currently staying in a posthouse.
It had been two days since he arrived at Xianyang.
The past two days had been like ants on a hot pan.
It wasn't that he couldn't eat or sleep well.
The main thing was to wait for Ying Zheng to summon him, and then go out to sea.
Had His Majesty forgotten about this?
Xu Fu was wearing a seven-star necromancer's robe, pacing back and forth anxiously in the room.
"The imperial edict has arrived."
"Xu Fu from Langya has entered the palace for an audience. There must be no mistakes."
Just as Xu Fu was anxiously pacing back and forth, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the door.
When Xu Fu heard this voice, his face immediately revealed a look of ecstasy.
He was here!
Finally!
After pushing open the door, Xu Fu walked to the door in a few steps and saw the internal supervisor who came to announce the decree.
"I, Xu Fu, have received the decree."
After receiving the imperial edict, Xu Fu's hands were trembling.
"Xu Fu, get up. His Majesty is waiting for you in the Imperial Palace.”The internal supervisor who announced the decree pointed to a carriage that had been prepared.
"Okay, okay, okay. I understand. Wait a moment, I'll go and prepare.”Xu Fu said as he ran back to the inn. Then, he took a parcel and hurriedly boarded the carriage.
The carriage arrived in front of Xianyang Palace without any obstructions.
Xu Fu saw the twelve golden statues that were made by collecting all the weapons in the world.
He saw the majestic Xianyang Imperial Palace.
He saw the magnificent scene of water flowing into the palace from the Wei River.
"It's too magnificent!"
Xu Fu was extremely shocked when he saw all this.
