He was stunned.
All the officials were stunned.
No one expected this.
The City of Traps, which had been rumored to have existed for 300 years, was easily flattened!
At this moment, he heard the military report.
Whether it was the civil officials led by Li Si or the generals under Meng Tian, they all felt incredulous.
Indeed.
The Great Qin Cavalry were awe-inspiring, and the experts in the network were as numerous as clouds.
However, the Mohist City of Traps could hide for 300 years.
Until a few days ago.
Only then did the Seventh Young Master discover it.
This meant that he was definitely not an ordinary existence.
Anyone who heard of his name would not dare to underestimate him.
Now.
The City of Traps had not only been flattened, but it had also been done in a single night!
How could it be so easy?
Could it be that the Mo family was just an empty name?
Just by relying on this reputation.
After hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, how could he still be alone?!
This was impossible!
What was the truth?
All kinds of bewilderment kept echoing.
This military report was beyond the knowledge of all the officials.
The entire court was shaken, and the officials stood rooted to the ground!
The entire Zhangtai Palace fell into a strange silence!
Only Zhao Gao.
He instantly suppressed the shock and unwillingness in his heart and congratulated her without changing his expression!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"The Seventh Young Master is extraordinarily brave and powerful. It is a blessing for Great Qin to pacify the rebels in one fell swoop!”
The officials were also reminded.
They all bowed down and congratulated him loudly!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
...
Over a hundred bowed figures.
There were ordinary officials who looked surprised, Young Master Fusu who looked shocked, and naturally, Huhai who quietly followed the crowd.
If not for Zhao Gao leading the way.
Just based on his unwillingness to see his good deed ruined, Huhai was not willing to congratulate him for winning the battle. It was already a great improvement for him to be able to do so.
Zhao Gao was able to take the lead because of his outstanding eyesight.
This was his way of life.
It is the fundamental principle of courtiers to follow each other.
Huhai, on the other hand, was just mediocre. If he didn't pay attention to his teacher Zhao Gao's actions, he would have been exposed on the spot and fallen behind the officials.
The subtle differences were difficult to distinguish.
Qin Shi Huang, who was above grade-9, saw through it with a glance.
His gaze swept over the hundred figures.
The First Emperor, who was sitting upright, had an indifferent expression, and the surprise from before was hidden in his eyes.
"Everyone, please rise."
As the officials stood up.
The First Emperor looked at everyone's expressions and then asked in a deep voice.
"Everyone, who is the credit for this battle?”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The hearts of the officials who stood up sank, and many of them were so shocked that they revealed subtle expressions.
Usually.
Reward merit and punish fault.
It was not rare in court meetings.
Today was different.
your Majesty
This was a test!
Now that the Seventh Young Master had made a great contribution and defeated the Mo Family quickly, it could be said that he had removed a huge hidden danger in the empire and had the effect of calming the hearts of the people.
This battle was no less than the victory of ten thousand people!
The reason why His Majesty asked was to see the ministers 'attitude towards the Seventh Young Master.
This was a little difficult.
If there was too much praise.
It was bound to be suspected of flattery. Going too far was as bad as falling short. If not done well, it might even anger the dragon face!
If he didn't praise the Seventh Young Master.
With His Majesty's recent favor, it's also extremely unwise!
Moreover, the credit of this battle was related to General Meng Tian, who was behind Meng Feng, as well as the various forces such as the Network. It was extremely meaningful to express their praise.
One careless step and he would fall into the abyss!
The choice was entangled in his heart.
The officials hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.
For a moment.
The atmosphere in the hall became subtle.
On the surface, they were celebrating, but on the surface, they were worrying!
At this moment.
Prime Minister Li Si stepped out steadily and bowed, his voice as clear as ever!
"Your Majesty."
"I believe that the Seventh Young Master should be the leader of this battle. If the Seventh Young Master hadn't found out where the Mohist family was, the Black Armored Army and the Network wouldn't have had the chance to do anything.”
These words rang out.
The First Emperor nodded slightly, not showing any emotion.
The ministers also echoed.
This Prime Minister was still so calm and moderate. Even such a difficult question could be answered just right. The credit was shared equally. It sounded extremely fair, but he emphasized the Seventh Young Master.
Everything was just right.
Such shrewdness, as expected of the head of civil officials.
Immediately after.
Meng Tian also stepped forward to bow!
"Your Majesty."
"I think that the rewards for military merits should be judged based on their achievements. Seventh Young Master was the first to explore the City of Traps and the second to lead the army to attack.”
Although their words were different, they were reasonable.
The strict military law convinced the generals!
Wen Kui and Wu Shou spoke one after another, and the First Emperor finally nodded slightly.
"Everything makes sense."
As expected, the First Emperor's expression was indifferent.
He looked at the other officials.
How could anyone dare to neglect him?
For a moment.
In the court, there was a constant stream of advice, most of which was the doctrine of the mean.
Time passed.
There was nothing new in the ministers 'suggestions. Occasionally, one or two mediocre people would appear and pretend to be brave enough to ask for merit for the Black Armored Army or the net.
The First Emperor never revealed any emotion, only looking down at everything.
His thoughts.
He was no longer in the court.
Exactly.
How was the City of Traps breached?
Zhan 'er, is it true that the immortals came to visit you in your dreams?
Under all kinds of curiosity.
The ministers 'reactions were already unsightly.
Infighting was inevitable in the imperial court, and friction between the various factions was also very common.
The First Emperor no longer had much interest in hearing it.
He waved his long sleeves!
"We'll decide on the merits of this battle when the army returns.”
"When the time comes, we will reward them according to their contributions and announce this battle to the world to raise the prestige of our Great Qin!”
It was a conclusion.
The ministers bowed their heads and respectfully sent him off.
When they scattered.
The disaster that was supposed to happen to Fusu was no longer mentioned.
Zhao Gao fell silent.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Huhai couldn't help but rush forward!
"Teacher, Fu Su has dodged another calamity! Also, he won the battle and actually made a great contribution. If Imperial Father rewards him heavily, what should he do?!”
Huhai could no longer hold himself back in the palace.
It was obvious how anxious he was.
This time.
Zhao Gao finally looked at him coldly and warned him in a low voice!
"Young Master, there is no need to worry."
"The scholarly faction will definitely not let this matter rest. As for the Seventh Young Master's victory, with the help of the net, how could the great merit fall to others?”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Huhai's eyes lit up as he finally reacted!
"What a good two-pronged attack. Teacher is brilliant!”
......
Dusk.
More than a hundred miles outside Xianyang City, the army temporarily rested.
The joy of returning to the army after winning lingered around them. The soldiers began to light a fire to cook.
In the convoy.
The snow maidens watched everything through the curtains of the carriage, and their eyes were extremely cold.
When the curtain was lowered.
He quietly approached Duanmu Rong, who was sitting with him, and whispered in confusion.
"Sister Rong."
"It seems that Yingzhan is going to bring us back to Xianyang, but he didn't bully us along the way. What does this young master of Great Qin want?”
"What should we do?"
Duanmu Rong felt the same sorrow as the snow maidens.
"I didn't expect that."
"The three hundred years of hard work of our Mo family was actually destroyed in one night.”
As he spoke.
Duanmu Rong's eyes became even colder.
"Since you are treating us so politely, you must have evil intentions. We can beat him at his own game and get rid of this monster.”
"Otherwise, this person will definitely be a great disaster for the world in the future!”
He looked at the needle-light on Duanmu Rong's fingertips.
The snow maidens understood and secretly clenched their jade-like fingers!
