Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 13
In the imperial study room, Ying Zheng was reading the letter in his hand. A black ice warrior quickly walked in and told Ying Zheng exactly what had happened at Huaide Restaurant.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "You two fools are so stupid that they want to guess what I'm thinking!"

"What I'm thinking is, can they figure it out? It seems that it's time to teach them a lesson."

"Go, arrange people to clean up Zhao Yi's side, send the head to Zhao Gao, and send the body to Li Si."

"From now on, no matter who dares to go inside and outside Zhao Yi's mansion and plant people, he will be killed!"

The Black Ice Warrior immediately led away.

In just one night, many murders occurred one after another inside and outside Xianyang City.

All the hidden sentries placed inside and outside Zhao Yi's residence were cut off overnight.

Looking at the Jingguan built with human heads at the door of his living room, Zhao Gao was so frightened that his face paled and he couldn't sleep all night.

Zhao Gao knew very well that this was a method of the Black Ice Terrace. To be precise, it was Ying Zheng who was telling himself not to do wrong things, otherwise there would be a dead end.

On the other side, Li Si looked at the headless corpse that suddenly appeared in his home, and when he heard the news from Zhao Gao, he was even more startled and fidgeted, and he didn't close his eyes all night.

On the morning of the second day, both Zhao Gao and Li Si went up with a pair of panda eyes.

The two courtiers who talked the most in the early morning court on weekdays were uncharacteristically silent at today's court meeting.

Yingzheng's iron and blood methods proved that in the Great Qin Kingdom, there is no need to hide anything from anyone on the dragon chair. If you really offend someone, your corpse will float for thousands of miles!
"Where is General Cheqi?" Ying Zheng failed to hear the long-lost voice of slander, and looked at the courtiers, but he did not see Zhao Yi. Obviously, the new General Cheqi did not come to court at all.

A great general with chariots and cavalry, and a minister, actually didn't even attend the court meeting. Is this how he behaves like a minister?

All the officials cast their gazes at Li Si one after another, wanting to take this opportunity to let Li Si take the lead and take the opportunity to relegate Zhao Yi.

But Li Si turned a blind eye to the eyes cast by the officials. After what happened last night, how could he dare to speak.

The censor Feng Jie and the right chancellor Feng Quji couldn't bear it any longer, they winked at the military, and Meng Yi went out to play.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness was promoted to be a minister ten days ago, but he has not entered the palace to report for more than ten days."

"Now His Royal Highness Ninth Prince has been conferred the title of Great General of Cheqi, and the Mansion of General Cheqi has been cleared out for a few days, but His Royal Highness has still not appeared."

"Your Majesty Ninth Prince, this is so obvious that he resisted the decree and did not obey it. His Majesty should impose severe punishment to rectify the laws and regulations of the country!"

What Meng Yi said was so clear that all the officials nodded in agreement.

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he stood tall, with the air of a king pressing his head and face towards the officials.

"It seems that you don't think that Zhao Yi can do things well, but he can't be a chariot general."

"Then I'm really curious, among you people, who can be a chariot general? It must not be you, Meng Yi!"

"For the matter of the Northland, you haven't drawn up a charter for me so far, so you have the nerve to take care of other things?"

Hum——Meng Yi's brain was buzzing instantly, he didn't expect His Majesty to turn over old scores for him in the court.

Looking at Ying Zheng's sharp eyes, Meng Yi was a little dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to grit his teeth, "Your Majesty, I am indeed guilty of the Northland matter, but what does this have to do with the matter of His Highness the Ninth Prince?"

Ying Zheng laughed strangely, and said with a secret smile in his heart: This matter really has something to do with Zhao Yi.

But how could Ying Zheng tell these courtiers about Zhao Yi?
Only Ying Zheng stared, "How dare you speak nonsense in front of me, Meng Yi, do you still have me in your eyes? Drag it on and hit [-] big boards!"

The officials were all in awe, Meng Yi's eyes widened even more, his face full of disbelief, but he already knew that Zhao Yi's matter was probably a certainty and nothing could be done.

No wonder Li Si and Zhao Gao were acting so abnormally today. Ganqing had known for a long time that damn Feng Jie and Feng Quji, if he didn't do it himself and let me be the scapegoat, these twenty big hits would have been in vain!
Meng Yi was dragged down by the warriors in front of the hall, and soon there was the sound of banging boards outside the hall, and the officials did not dare to discuss Zhao Yi's matter.

Then Yingzheng shifted the topic back, "Gentlemen, the heavy snow in the north will delay the time for us to fight against the Xiongnu."

"Nowadays there is a severe drought in Sichuan, and food and grass issues need to be properly handled. Let's take this as the topic of today's court meeting."

"Let's talk about it, next time we fight against the barbarians in the north, how should I, Daqin, send troops?"

When Ying Zheng raised the issue, he sat on the dragon chair. He already had the strategy given by Zhao Yi in his heart, so he had already made up his mind.

In today's court meeting, he just wants to show a good performance in front of all the officials, and teach these guys who think that they can sit back and relax after they calm down the world, a good lesson!
The military actually didn't care about Zhao Yi's affairs. Although Meng Yi came from a family of military generals, he was actually a civilian official.

So when Meng Yi was talking just now, generals such as Wang Ben and Li Xin didn't express any opinions at all.

Now that Ying Zheng mentioned the issue of the war in the North, everyone couldn't wait to get out and express their opinions.

Li Xin stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, General Meng Tian is now training his army outside the fortress. When the heavy snow in the north ends, the Huns will definitely flee in confusion as pointed out by my army, and they will never dare to peek at our Qin borderland again."

Wang Ben also went out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, now our Great Qin soldiers are full of fine food, and the Huns are just a group of barbarians. They are not a strong enemy at all. They just rely on the speed of their horses and the convenience of the terrain!"

"But as long as our army's scouts figure out their terrain, they will be able to decide the world in one battle."

Ying Zheng was noncommittal, with a smile on his face. Qin's general's strategy was as usual, open and closed, but with Zhao Yizhuyu in front of him, it was difficult to get Ying Zheng's eyes.

"Could it be that Your Majesty has already thought of a better strategy?" Zhao Gao was the person who followed Ying Zheng the longest. Seeing Ying Zheng's smile, he immediately knew it, and took the initiative to pick up the topic and show it to Ying Zheng. Opportunity.

Sure enough, when the ministers heard Zhao Gao's words, they were all taken aback, so they all bowed their hands to Ying Zheng, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng waved his long sleeves and laughed loudly: "Our Great Qin is now sweeping across the six countries, and the country is full of wastes waiting to be revitalized. The officers and soldiers of Great Qin can move forward for military glory, but the current situation of Great Qin is not optimistic."

"There is a severe drought in Shu and a snowstorm in the north. At this time, we must raise a large army to use force against the Xiongnu. The victory is natural, but the food, grass and pay of the large army will make the people of Qin overwhelmed."

"I need a stable border, but Da Qin needs stable people's hearts even more!"

"hiss……"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, all civil servants and generals in the entire hall gasped.

Especially the civil servants headed by Li Si and Feng Quji, their eyes were shining brightly, and they were obviously shocked by Ying Zheng's words.
