It was good to return to Xianyang at this time!
After hearing Yu Huatian's report, Zhao Chen thought for a moment and felt relieved.
It was now the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor. In a few months, the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, would pass away.
If he didn't make a move, history would probably go according to the normal trajectory.
After the death of Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao, the commander of the Central Che Mansion, and Li Si, the right prime minister, revised the edict of the crown prince. Later, Hu Hai succeeded to the throne and ordered his son Fusu and General Meng Tian to die. The royal family of Ying Qin were all killed by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.
He fought for the remaining strength of six generations, but died after two generations…
Although Ying Zheng said that he missed him, which was why he had summoned Xianyang back, Zhao Chen knew that he could only listen.
The main purpose of this trip to Xianyang was to see if he could save Ying Zheng!
After all, he was still the greatest emperor in history. When the time came, he would present a world map or something!
……
In just a few days, the imperial edict from Xianyang arrived at Yong City, the ancestral land of the Qin country. Yong City was the location of the ancestral temple of Qin's ancestors. Naturally, there were many elders of the imperial clan here. In order to welcome the rarely official decree of the First Emperor, the ancestral temple was opened today.
The Great Qin's Ninth Young Master, who had been guarding Yong City for fifteen years, led a group of people to the ancestral temple.
The black-robed Arowana Brocade Guards followed behind Zhao Chen and the other ministers like a tide. They entered the deep and strict Great Qin Ancestral Temple and guarded the various main roads and doors.
Zhao Chen was dressed in a black robe with a black bird pattern. Behind him was the West Factory Governor Yu Huatian, the Embroidered Uniform Guards Commander Mao Xiang, the Military Advisor Chancellor Jia Xu, and the Manor Chief Secretary Liu Bowen.
Seeing this scene, the heart of the chamberlain who came from Xianyang to announce the decree for Ying Zheng thumped.
Immediately, they looked around with trembling eyes. Their expressions were calm as they looked at the members of the Zhao family surnamed Ying.
He secretly swallowed his saliva. The chamberlain was Zhao Gao's subordinate and had always been arrogant and despotic. At this moment, he actually did not dare to look at Zhao Chen in the hall.
Meanwhile, Zhao Chen's subordinates stood quietly outside the hall, staring into the hall expressionlessly.
He quickly unfurled the imperial edict and handed it to the clan elder after reading it. The servant hurried to leave and return to Xianyang.
However, just as he walked out of the door, he and some of his subordinates were surrounded by the Jinyiwei guarding the door. The eunuch who announced the decree was like a frightened bird.
Her voice was sharp, and she couldn't help but have a stern look on her face. " Are you trying to rebel?!"
Jia Xu and Liu Bowen looked at each other, as if they did not see the chamberlain's shocked expression, and waved their sleeves at the Brocade Guard.
"Take him away!"
The elders of the imperial clan glanced at the courtyard door outside and then looked at Zhao Chen, who was standing in the middle of the hall like a pine tree. They all sighed in their hearts.
They had watched Zhao Chen grow up.
When he first came to Yong City, he was still such a small person. In the blink of an eye, he had grown so beautiful…
Moreover, most people thought that Zhao Chen was just an unfavored Prince, and many people did not even know that Great Qin had such a young master.
Only the members of the Great Qin Imperial Clan in Yong City knew what Zhao Chen had done in the past ten years!
At least in the entire Yong City, Zhao Chen had the final say!
Moreover, Zhao Chen had not left Yong City at all, but there were more and more subordinates around him.
For example, the hundreds of Embroidered Uniform Guards that Zhao Chen had brought with him today did not surprise the imperial clan at all. It was as if it was only natural!
In the beginning, some people wanted to spread the news of Zhao Chen to Xianyang, but they were stopped by some elders of the Imperial Clan. Everything about Zhao Chen could be hidden from the world, including the First Emperor of Xianyang, Ying Zheng.
However, Yong City was right next to them. Some things that happened in the world could easily make them associate it with Zhao Chen!
For example, not long ago, the mysterious army defeated the Xiongnu army.
Although it sounded a little far-fetched…
The first emperor has not yet set up the heart of the crown prince, Fusu is not liked, and the rest of the children are too ordinary.
Elder Zong, who was holding the imperial edict brocade in his hand, looked at Zhao Chen, who was standing still like a pine tree and gentle like jade, and stroked his white beard.
The clan elder raised the imperial edict brocade with both hands and faced Zhao Chen, leading the members of the imperial clan to bow slowly.
"Young Master, it has been years in Yong City, but it feels like it was only yesterday…Young Master, please take care of Great Qin when you go to Xianyang!”
……
In the capital of Qin Country.
Xianyang Palace, Qilin Palace.
The civil and military officials stood on both sides, and Ying Zheng was sitting in the highest seat, with a table in front of him piled with books.
From his position, he could see the entire hall. At this moment, all the officials were discussing the matter of the Xiongnu in the north.
Bufan and the other ministers all had solemn and shocked expressions.
At the same time, it also showed that both the Xiongnu and this mysterious force that had suddenly appeared had made Ying Zheng and all the ministers feel immense pressure!
Originally, it was discovered that the reason the Xiongnu were moving south was because the Great Wall of Qin and Zhao was about to be completed.
At that time, it would be a disaster for the northern nomadic barbarians.
That was why the rising star of the grasslands, Mao Dun, was in a dilemma. He sent as many as 100,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen south!
They might want to destroy the Great Wall or test Great Qin, which had been at peace for many years!
In order to complete the Great Wall of Qin and Zhao as soon as possible, Ying Zheng, who was far away in Xianyang, and Meng Tian, who was controlling the 300,000 Great Qin soldiers in the north, were all prepared to fight a protracted war with the Xiongnu.
However, he did not expect it to end before it even started. Even the Xiongnu's hometown was completely destroyed…
In fact, it happened so suddenly that Meng Tian did not notice anything.
How could this not shock and worry all the officials in the court?!
Seeing that they had not come to any conclusion after half a day of discussion, Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian, who was standing at the head of the group of generals with his eyes closed, with a rather displeased expression. He immediately said loudly.
"Marquis Wucheng, what do you think?"
After Ying Zheng spoke, the entire Qilin Palace fell silent. Everyone turned their eyes to Wang Jian, who looked old and frail.
Wang Jian suddenly opened his eyes, cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng, and said hesitantly.
"Your Majesty! The mysterious force was able to defeat a hundred-thousand-strong Xiongnu army with just three thousand. Although it is shocking, but…"
Looking at Ying Zheng who was standing high up in the sky, Wang Jian continued speaking with an indecipherable meaning.
"As long as I, Great Qin, am here, even if the Six Nations are reborn, there is nothing to worry about!”
That's right!
Upon hearing Wang Jian's words, Ying Zheng was suddenly enlightened.
At the same time, a sense of pride that was about to dissipate appeared in his heart!
In the end, they only drafted an edict for Meng Tian to strengthen the defense at the border. In the end, they did not come to any conclusion.
"Ahem…"
The courtiers had all left. Ying Zheng was dealing with the pile of letters, coughing from time to time, a look of fatigue appearing on his face.
"Your Majesty…"
Zhao Gao came in from the side door, holding a bowl of lotus seed soup in his hand. Coincidentally, he saw Ying Zheng coughing. Zhao Gao's eyes flashed, and he quickened his pace, came to Ying Zheng's side, and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty! Young Master Hai saw that Your Majesty worked hard every day and felt resentful, but he felt that he couldn't share the burden for Your Majesty. So, Young Master personally cooked a bowl of lotus seed soup…"
Waving his hand, Ying Zheng stopped Zhao Gao from continuing.
When he heard about Huhai, his face was filled with disbelief. However, as Zhao Gao explained, his expression softened a little.
This Eighteen Sons whom he doted on the most, what a pity…
He put down the book he was reading and asked, his hand holding the spoon suddenly paused.
"I wonder if the edict has reached Yong City?”
