Qin Country.
Xianyang.
Xianyang Palace.
The majestic palace stood in the night sky, looking solemn and solemn.
It was like a crouching beast looking at the entire State of Qin.
Before dawn, the officials were already waiting at the entrance of the palace.
The palace gate was filled with people.
Some of them were talking softly, but their expressions were a little solemn.
Some people were waiting anxiously, constantly looking up, looking worried.
The expressions on the officials 'faces seemed to indicate that something big was about to happen!
For these officials, the morning court session was like a day after decades.
Other than sick leave, he was never absent.
It had only been a few years since the new king ascended the throne, and he had yet to personally govern.
Now, the power of the entire Qin country was in the hands of two people.
One of them was Lu Buwei, who had been appointed as the Prime Minister since the late King Zhuang Xiang and was conferred the title of Marquis Wenxin.
After the new king, Ying Zheng, ascended the throne, he even made him the Prime Minister and addressed him respectfully as " Zhongfu ".
In the entire Qin country, his status was high and his power was great. It could be said to be unprecedented.
The other was the Empress Dowager, Concubine Zhao!
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was still young and did not manage the government himself. He listened to the Empress Dowager almost everything.
One held real power, while the other held the orthodoxy of the Qin country.
Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji could be said to be the true rulers of the State of Qin.
But just last night, one of these two people who held the highest authority in the State of Qin had disappeared!
Empress Dowager Zhao Ji.
However, not many people knew about this.
Prime Minister Lu Buwei suppressed this matter.
"Squeak."
The gates of the palace gradually opened, and all the officials stopped their discussion.
They lined up in an orderly manner and walked in through the palace gate.
Xianyang Palace 'Ying Ying Hall of the North Mausoleum' was the place where the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng, held his hearing.
The civil and military officials entered the hall in an orderly manner and stood in their positions.
Before the officials entered, a figure was already standing at the front of the hall.
He was dressed in an official robe, with tiger eyes and a long beard.
He was about fifty years old.
He stood there motionlessly, exuding an imposing aura.
It was like a pillar that steadied the sea and settled the hearts of all the officials.
This person was the current Prime Minister of the State of Qin, Lu Buwei.
In front of Lu Buwei, none of the officials dared to speak casually.
Their fear of him was even greater than that of the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty has arrived. All the officials kneel and welcome you!"
The eunuch's sharp voice rang out in the hall.
All the officials knelt down.
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
Except for two people.
One was naturally the current Prime Minister, Lu Buwei.
The other was a tall, square-faced, wide-mouthed general who was nearly fifty years old but had a vigorous spirit.
The Great General of Qin State, Wang Jian.
The two of them only bowed to welcome him.
The young Ying Zheng was wearing a black robe with dragon patterns and a crown on his head.
He was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
The outline of his face still looked a little immature.
His eyes were filled with sorrow and worry.
"Does everyone have anything to report? If there's nothing else, you can leave.”
Ying Zheng absent-mindedly glanced at all the civil and military officials in the hall, then leaned back on his dragon chair and said casually.
But in an instant, he straightened his body and sat upright.
He glanced at the beaded screen door beside him.
After glancing at it, the sorrow on Ying Zheng's face grew even heavier.
The officials looked at each other and discussed softly.
How could he be fine?
Now that the war was tense, whether it was rations or troops, they were all important matters to be discussed in the court.
His Majesty knew this too.
Why did he not seem to take it to heart?
"Cough cough!"
Lu Buwei coughed.
The officials immediately stopped talking, and Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the high seat, also came back to his senses.
Lu Buwei stepped forward and said," Your Majesty, the war between the State of Qin and the State of Zhao has been in a stalemate for three months.”
"General Meng and his brother fought against the Xiongnu in the north and brought most of their troops with them. General Li Xin did not have enough troops and rations. "If we continue to waste time with Zhao for a long time, my Qin country might not be able to afford it.”
Ying Zheng frowned.
Qin was located in the north, along the Yellow River.
After crossing the Yellow River, it was the territory of the Xiongnu.
"What a joke!"
A sonorous and powerful voice retorted.
The officials were afraid of Lu Buwei, but there were some who were not.
Wang Jian took a step forward, and the armor on his body rattled.
"There are Xiongnu in the northern part of my Qin country, but there are none in his Zhao country?”
"The main force of my Qin country is in the north. Isn't the main force of his Zhao country also brought to the north by Li Mu?”
"This old man sees that it's clearly that Li Xin kid who is useless!”
Lu Buwei's expression remained unchanged. He didn't look angry at all after being charged at by Wang Jian.
The ability to conceal one's strength and bide one's time was truly profound.
He was like a thousand-year-old fox, unable to show his emotions.
