Ying Zheng helped Meng Tian up. His eyes were a little dazed as he let out a long sigh.
"Speaking of which, the main responsibility for the repeated defeats and heavy losses in the three expeditions against the Hundred Yue lies with me!”
"It was We who had always wanted to conquer the Yue, or else Great Qin would not have done this.”
Speaking up to this point, Ying Zheng shook his head slightly, as if he was talking to himself, but also sighing with emotion.
"No one knows me better than I do. Whether it was before or now, I have never changed my decision, even if the officials opposed it.”
"This expedition against the Yue is naturally the same. As long as the emperor orders it, no one is allowed to object!”
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Tian's heart indeed eased up a little. But at the same time, she knew that Ying Zheng's words were not absolute, and were mainly meant to comfort her.
After all, among the generals, Meng Tian was someone that Ying Zheng had his eyes on.
At this moment, Ying Zheng had already turned his head to look at the sky.
"Alright, let's move on to the next question.”
At the same time, the system's grand voice sounded.
Q: Which of the following characters has nothing to do with the failure of the expedition against the Yue?
First: Qin Shihuang
2: Meng Tian
3. Tu Sui
Four: Feng Quji
The moment they saw the question, everyone fell silent. The atmosphere was unusually awkward.
Especially Ying Zheng. He had just said that the failure of the Yue War had something to do with himself in order to comfort Meng Tian.
But that was only to comfort Meng Tian.
Good heavens, this question was given in the blink of an eye. Didn't it confirm the failure of the Yue War, and that Ying Zheng really had something to do with it?
Moreover, this question was too simple for Ying Zheng, and the answer was obvious.
He, Ying Zheng, was the decision-maker of the war against the Yue.
Meng Tian and Tu Sui were the executors.
Only Feng Quji had been against starting a war against the Bai Yue.
What was there to analyze? The correct answer was Feng Quji.
It was obvious that the people who had caused the failure of the war against the Yue were him, Ying Zheng, Meng Tian, and Tu Sui!
This question really slapped Ying Zheng's face.
"Ahem…"
At this moment, Meng Tian coughed a few times and said with an embarrassed expression.
"Your Majesty, the answer to this question, we…"
How could Ying Zheng not understand what Meng Tian meant? He was both angry and helpless,""The fourth one!"
As he spoke, Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Feng Quji.
"Regarding the conquest of the Yue, the three of us are all on the pro-war side. Only Minister Feng has always opposed it, so the failure definitely has nothing to do with Minister Feng.”
"Moreover, I told you just now that I couldn't escape the blame for losing the war against the Yue, but you didn't believe me.”
"What about now? Do you believe me now?"
That unexpected face-smacking just now had even made Ying Zheng feel a little uneasy.
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Tian and Feng Quji quickly lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.
What was the way to be a minister?
It was to share the Emperor's worries, to take care of the country's affairs for the Emperor, to fight against the enemy countries for the Emperor, and even to find an excuse for the Emperor's embarrassment.
He even took the initiative to take the blame at the critical moment.
Zhang Liang, who was in the corner, saw everything and laughed in his heart.
"Hahaha, this Junjun and Chenchen makes me happy.”
For Zhang Liang, no matter what the reason was, as long as Ying Zheng and the high-ranking officials of Great Qin were sad, he would be happy.
Who cared if Ying Zheng was a tyrant or not? At least, he could laugh at him now.
At this point, Ying Zheng just wanted to skip this question and answer the next one.
"I choose the fourth one, Feng Quji!"
Ding! Correct answer!
[Analysis: In order to unify the world, the First Emperor launched a war against the Yue, but he mistakenly believed the information from the scouts at the front, causing him to make a wrong judgment of the battlefield situation, which led to the failure of the first expedition against the Yue!]
Meng Tian and Tu Sui were generals who had fought in the Yue Country. As long as they lost, they would be blamed!
Feng Quji had always opposed the war against the Bai Yue, so the defeat of the Bai Yue war had nothing to do with Feng Quji!
As expected, the reason mentioned in the analysis was roughly the same as Ying Zheng's previous guess.
Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly, while blaming himself in his heart.
It was a small matter that they lost the war and could not take down the Yue, but those armored soldiers in the army would definitely bleed and sacrifice for it, and this was something that Ying Zheng could not forgive himself for!
"Yes, I did make a huge mistake!”
"According to the scouts, the overall environment of the Bai Yue is not particularly different from the Nine Provinces.”
"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any discomfort in the environment.”
As he thought about this, Ying Zheng suddenly recalled the question he had done before.
It was said that the reason why the three conquests against the Yue failed was because the Yue had miasma and humidity, and the Great Qin soldiers were not accustomed to the environment.
'It seems that the information from the front was wrong, which led to all of this!”
At this moment, Meng Tian also thought of this. A trace of hatred flashed across his eyes as he took a step towards Ying Zheng and whispered,"
"Your Majesty, you can't be blamed for this. In my opinion, there's something wrong with the person in charge of gathering information at the front.”
"When we return, we will definitely torture him!”
"Although the scouts can't be completely accurate with the information on the battlefield, the difference shouldn't be so big. This is obviously intentional, or they were ordered by someone else!”
Not only Meng Tian, but even Li Si's eyes flashed coldly!
"Your Majesty, I also feel that this matter is too strange. There seems to be a big conspiracy behind it.”
"The battlefield is not a game. Mistakes in intelligence can cost the lives of countless soldiers.”
"This person is already so bold today; he might even have other thoughts about Great Qin in the future!”
Ying Zheng agreed with everything Li Si and Meng Tian said.
But at this moment, Zhang Liang, who was in the corner, slowly spoke.
"Is it possible that things are not what you think?”
"The scouts in charge of gathering information did not try to harm Great Qin or mislead His Majesty.”
"Is it possible that the scouts and information were right, but you were wrong?”
Zhang Liang's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
But he was unusually calm and collected.
