Two hours later.
In the Qilin Hall of Xianyang Palace, all the civil and military officials gathered.
The civil officials were led by Li Si and Meng Yi, while the generals were led by Meng Tian and Wang Li.
At this moment, everyone was looking down at their noses, mouths, and hearts, not daring to whisper to each other.
Since ancient times, when a minister meets a monarch, it is called a court meeting, and when a monarch meets a minister, it is called a meeting.
Court meetings are usually divided into two types.
The first is the Great Dynasty, which refers to the emperor's visit to the main hall on New Year's Day, Winter Solstice and Daqing Day to accept the congratulations of the ministers;
The first was Chang Chao, which referred to the emperor summoning civil and military officials to deal with government affairs.
However, there was another kind of court meeting that would only be held under extremely special circumstances.
That was when there was an emergency court meeting.
Only then would the Emperor summon all officials and hold an emergency court meeting.
At this moment, all the officials were summoned.
Although he didn't know exactly what he said, he understood in his heart.
No matter what it was, this matter was no small matter.
As a result, His Majesty had to start an emergency court meeting that had not happened for decades.
Immediately, the officials became even more cautious and stood in the hall respectfully and neatly.
He didn't even dare to breathe loudly and just stood there obediently.
......
Qilin Palace.
Ying Zheng was sitting on the dragon throne with his golden saber.
He closed his eyes slightly and was in a state of recuperation.
On the side, Zhang Han, who was clad in black armor, looked at the sundial outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, the time has come."
Only then did Ying Zheng open his eyes and lazily stretched his body.
The civil and military officials in the hall saw that the Emperor had already opened his eyes.
They all looked over, waiting for His Majesty to announce the purpose of this emergency court meeting.
In the palace, Ying Zheng yawned and asked,""Is everyone here?"
Hearing this, Zhang Han looked at an empty seat among the civil officials.
"Your Majesty, Lord Chang Feng Li has not arrived yet.”
Ying Zheng waved his hand expressionlessly and said,""Kill him!"
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Han bowed slightly and turned around to give his orders.
He dealt with a minister in a few words, and the two of them did not have much of a reaction.
However, when these words reached the ears of all the officials below, they felt a chill run down their spines.
What was that? He was killed just like that!
One had to know that Chang Feng, Lord Li, was not some Tom, Dick, or Harry.
They were the officials who organized the sacrificial and ancestral temple ceremonies.
He was one of the higher-ranking officials.
But now, he was killed just because he was a little late?？
It seemed that something big was about to happen!
......
In the Qilin Palace.
Ying Zheng scanned the surroundings with his majestic eyes.
The civil and military officials in the hall did not dare to look at him.
Wherever Ying Zheng looked, all the officials lowered their heads.
The Prime Minister and the two Generals were no exception.
Ying Zheng looked around, then turned to Zhang Han and said,"
"General Zhang Han, tell the lords about the information on this trip to the northern border.”
"Yes, sir! Your Majesty!" Zhang Han nodded and turned to look at the officials.
He told them about the Hu people of the northern borders and how they had plundered the border cities.
After he finished speaking, the hall was already filled with discussions.
"Hiss! What did the Hu of the northern borders want?”
"He actually dared to cross the border and slaughter the border residents of Great Qin. Is he trying to start a war?”
"Strictly investigate! He had to investigate thoroughly. If the matter was true, there had to be an explanation.”
"Great Qin is so great, how can we let a bunch of bearded people from the grasslands ride on our heads?”
......
This was a discussion among the generals filled with righteous indignation.
Most of the civil officials remained silent.
Back then, when His Majesty repeatedly revealed the phenomenon of conquering the Hu people, it was they who repeatedly opposed it.
They believed that Great Qin had just been pacified, and there were still remnants of the Six Nations and many factions of the martial world that they had yet to fully control.
Moreover, the Hu were barbaric and did not have intelligence. They were also afraid of Great Qin's might, so they did not dare to cause trouble.
But at this moment, Zhang Han's information gave them a loud slap.
Their faces were burning, and they couldn't believe it in their hearts. How could the Hu dare to provoke him?
Li Si and Meng Yi, who were at the head of the civil officials, were deep in thought.
They had their own opinions when they opposed the conquest of the Hu, even though the intelligence report clearly stated that the Hu army had crossed the border.
However, they were still firm in their original thoughts and felt that it was inappropriate to go north at this time.
......
Ying Zheng looked around and took in everyone's expressions.
In the end, his gaze stopped on the commander of the Central Carriage Prefecture, Zhao Gao.
"Zhao Gao."
Zhao Gao quickly got out of the line and knelt respectfully."Your subject is here."
"Show everyone the meteorite you brought back from East County.”
Ying Zheng's tone turned cold instantly, causing all the officials in the hall to be at a loss.
Meteorite?
What's so good about a rock?
Earlier, he had mentioned the Hu people of the Northern Borderline, but now he was talking about the stones?
What exactly did His Majesty mean…
After Zhao Gao received the order, he waved his hand outside the hall.
A moment later, several agile men carried a red boulder that weighed a thousand pounds into the hall.
As soon as the red meteorite entered the hall, it attracted the attention of all the officials present.
No, to be precise, a large word on it attracted everyone's attention.
It was Hu who destroyed Qin!
"Plop!" "Plop!"
Li Si and Meng Yi's pupils constricted as they knelt down first.
Next were Meng Tian, Wang Li, and the civil and military officials.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Great Qin Empire will definitely prosper for thousands of years!”
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Great Qin Empire will definitely prosper for thousands of years!”
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Great Qin Empire will definitely prosper for thousands of years!”
......
In the Qilin Palace, a black mass of people knelt down.
Li Si and Meng Yi knelt among them with bitter expressions. They knew that this time…
The Empire would definitely send troops to the northern borders. No one would be able to persuade them!
Moreover, no one who was not afraid of death would dare to anger His Majesty at this juncture.
As expected, as the two of them thought.
"Clang!"
Ying Zheng unsheathed the Heaven Asking Sword at his waist.
He held the sword in his left hand and swept his gaze across the officials.
He slowly said,"My dear ministers…"
"I want to send troops to the north. Does anyone have any objections?”
Ying Zheng spoke very slowly, and his words were filled with a chilling intent.
Hearing this, all the officials trembled and revealed bitter expressions.
Thoughts? Your Majesty, do you look like you're asking for our opinion?
"Your Majesty is wise. The bandits of the northern borders have wild ambitions and should be executed for offending the might of Great Qin!”
General Meng Tian's heart was surging as she spoke loudly.
"Your Majesty, I also think that the barbarians in the northern border should have been dealt with a long time ago.”
Seeing this, Wang Li expressed his opinion, unwilling to fall behind.
Then, the entire hall was filled with shouts like a tide." Your Majesty is wise!"
......
Feeling the tide-like cries, Ying Zheng nodded.
He did not care how many of them were willing or how many were forced by the situation.
He only knew that he had achieved his goal.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng said in a clear voice,""Generals Meng Tian and Wang Li, listen up!”
Meng Tian and Wang Li's bodies trembled, and they were ecstatic.""Your subject is here!"
"I order the two of you to lead 200,000 troops each and another 100,000 troops along the way. A total of 600,000 troops will immediately set out for the northern border.”
"Remember, I want to see no more Hu within a 500-kilometer radius of Great Qin, not even one!”
......
Northern Borderline, Nameless Village.
Bai Ze leaned against the big poplar tree in boredom.
He was playing with the last item of the Newbie Gift Pack, the Random Character Summoning Card!
"Ding! Random Character Summoning Card found!"
"Do you want to use it?"
"Use it!"
"Ding! [Congratulations on obtaining a historical figure, Heavenly King Wu Dao, Ran Min!]”
"This person has appeared in Great Qin and has automatically completed Great Qin's household registration.”
"The character summoned by the host is 100% loyal and will meet the host at an appropriate time. Please wait patiently.”
......
Hmm?
Heavenly King Wu Dao, Ran Min?
Bai Ze's expression froze and he was shocked.
He was a fierce person who had killed so many Hu that they couldn't even raise their heads!
Now that the Hu were in chaos at the border, it was quite suitable to summon Ran Min at this time!
Thinking of this, Bai Ze looked expectant.
He wondered how long it would take for him to meet Heavenly King Wu Dao.
......
The sun was setting in the west.
Bai Ze turned around and looked at the little mound, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
The next day would be the three-day mourning period for Old Bai.
It was time to say goodbye!
