This first emperor is awesome

Page 112

Outside the main hall, a general came in to report.

Yuanman is here?

Didn't she always refuse to go back to the palace to see me?

"What's the matter?"

Ying Zheng frowned, this Pingtian Palace is a place for discussing government affairs, and women in the harem are not allowed to set foot here at will.

"Return to Your Majesty, the eldest princess sent someone over."

Lang Jiang said hastily.

"People? Who?"

Ying Zheng was stunned, and said a little puzzled.

"The eldest princess said that it was a scholar who came to participate in the examination, but was blocked by the guards of the palace gate."

General Lang repeated the princess's words, word for word.

"Xuan."

A word popped out of Ying Zheng's mouth.

"Here."

After General Lang took the order, he immediately left Pingtian Hall.

After walking out of Pingtian Palace, Lang Jiang came to Ying Yuanman and said: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you."

Ying Yuanman smiled, but didn't mean to take a step forward, but said to Chen Ping beside him: "You can go in."

"The grassroots Chen Ping thanked Her Royal Highness, the kindness today, Chen Ping will be remembered forever."

Chen Ping immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Ying Yuanman, and said from the bottom of his heart.

"Go! Serving for the Great Qin Empire is the best reward for this palace."

After Ying Yuanman finished speaking, he turned and left with his servants and maids.

"Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Lang Jiang and Chen Ping bowed together.

Chen Ping lowered his head, looking at Ying Yuanman's back, with a strange light shining.

It wasn't until Ying Yuanman's figure completely disappeared into the distance that Chen Fangfang stood up.

I, Chen Ping, will definitely be able to stand out, and everyone who looks down on me, Chen Ping, will pay the due price.

You will definitely regret it, and the humiliation I have endured will be repaid a hundredfold.

With steady steps, Chen Ping climbed up the long stone steps step by step.

After walking up the stone steps, what comes into view is a magnificent hall.

"Pingtian Palace."

There are three vigorous and powerful characters on the plaque at the gate, and his eyes show firmness.

Although Chen Ping was dressed in rags, he still patted the dust off his body with his dirty hands. Then, under the shocked gazes of the civil and military courts, he straightened his back and walked slowly on the avenue of Pingtian Temple with his head bowed. superior.

This……

This is a scholar?

This is a student?

Are you sure you're not here to beg for food?

The jaws of Manchu civil and military officials almost dropped in shock, looking at Chen Ping.

Every time Chen Ping walked, all the officials frowned and covered their noses.

The pungent sour smell made them want to vomit, but because of His Majesty's majesty, they dared not do anything wrong.

They could only suppress the discomfort in their hearts and covered their mouths and noses one after another.

Chen Ping turned a deaf ear to it, as if entering a land of no one, with a calm demeanor, he walked to the front of the hall in a polite and orderly manner, and bowed to Ying Zheng sitting above the throne: "Caomin Yangwu Chen Ping, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Participating in the test, dressed like this, how decent is it?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for a crime of disrespect?"

Ying Zheng kept a straight face and spoke in a lukewarm voice.

"Return to Your Majesty, the grass people are not afraid."

Chen Ping said calmly.

"Oh? Everyone in the world fears me like a tiger, why are you the only one who isn't afraid?"

Ying Zheng is suspicious.

"Your Majesty is thirsty for talents, and recruits talents from all over the world. Sweeping the land and controlling the eight wastelands, attacking Hudi and pacifying Baiyue. Although the grass people live in Yangwu for a long time, they still hear about it."

Chen Ping lowered his head, and his words were full of respect.

"Then you are not afraid that the rumors are false?"

Everyone loves to hear good words, and Ying Zheng is no exception, but he just listens to them and doesn't really take them to heart.

"The Great Qin Empire ruled the country according to the law, and there are laws to follow in everything. If you have meritorious service, you must be rewarded, and if you have done something wrong, you must be punished. The grassroots are disheveled and have no manners. There is a reason for everything."

"With your majesty's wisdom and martial arts, you will definitely not embarrass the grassroots."

There is no lack of compliments in Chen Pingyan's words, but they are not easy to be noticed, which is reasonable.

"What you say is reasonable, then I will forgive you for the crime of disheveled clothes."

Ying Zheng was very generous.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Ping bowed his hands again.

"Tell me! What talents do you have?"

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ping suspiciously.

"The grassroots came all the way to beg, and I heard that His Majesty sent troops to conquer the Yue clan. I wonder if it is true?"

Chen Ping didn't answer, but turned the other way, asking for advice.

"good."

Ying Zheng didn't hide anything, and the matter was not a top secret.

"The Yue clan is located in the northwest, with a vast land and few people. It borders the Xiongnu in the east and the Qiang barbarians in the west."

"The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and there are 20 men who lead the bow."

"With the strength of the empire, it is not difficult to destroy it, but it costs a lot of money, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"The Caomin thought that His Majesty should cut off Qilian to defend Longxi, and build Xiongguan to contain Hu Di."

"In this way, within a hundred years, the Yue Clan will lose the fertile land west of Qilian, and they will collapse without a fight."

Chen Ping talked eloquently.

"Although this plan is good, it is not easy to implement. No matter manpower or financial resources, it also consumes a lot of money. A mere Yuezhi is not worth mentioning."

"And 100 years is too long, I can't wait that long."

Ying Zheng refuted Chen Ping's policy on the spot, without mercy.

"..." Chen Ping.

Chen Ping, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly felt tense.

"Your Majesty, China and the Siyi have been fighting for thousands of years, and the vast mountains and rivers cannot be achieved in a day!"

Chen Ping was a little unwilling, did he just fail like this?

"How strong are the four barbarians of Xia? The barbarians of Shang are retreating steadily. The barbarians of Zhou flee when they hear the wind. The barbarians of Qin will all be destroyed."

Ying Zheng was very tough, and seemed to disagree with Chen Ping's words at all.

Chen Ping's face changed slightly, and he was thinking hard.

How to do?

Just throw in the towel?

I'm really not reconciled!

"Your Majesty, Caomin is willing to go to Yunnan to persuade the king of Yunnan to return to Qin."

Chen Ping knew that he had no way out, he would either hit the sky, or fall into the abyss, never turning back.

"remarkably brave."

"The Kingdom of Dian was founded by Zhuang Qiao, the general of the Kingdom of Chu, and Chu was destroyed by Qin. If you go to Dian as an envoy, I am afraid that the people of Chu will kill you to vent your anger. You will die in vain!"

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ping with a serious expression.

"A real man was born in this world, so what fear is there in death? If you can die for the empire, if you can be loyal to His Majesty, the grassroots will die without regret."

Unwavering, Chen Ping cupped his hands and bowed.

"Okay, if you can persuade the land of Yunnan to enter Qin with your perfect tongue, and save yourself from being burned by swords, I will give you the title of Zuo Shu, the prince, and worship the emperor, honoring the world and being a prominent party."

Ying Zheng smiled and threw out a huge temptation.

Chen Ping's eyes were shining brightly. Isn't all this just what he dreamed of?

"If the Caomin cannot persuade Yunnan to join Qin, they are willing to die in Yunnan to repay His Majesty's kindness."

Chen Ping said awe-inspiringly.

All civil and military officials were all moved, and a sense of urgency arose in their hearts.

In order to please His Majesty, this man really didn't even want his life.

crazy……

totally crazy...

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ping with piercing eyes, admiring him, he was indeed a ruthless person.

Naturally, I heard Chen Ping's implication. If the envoys of the Great Qin Dynasty died in Yunnan, then the Great Qin Empire would be famous and attack Yunnan, leaving the world speechless.

"Decree, to appoint Chen Ping as the recruiting envoy of the Dianke Temple of the Great Qin Empire, carrying a scepter, holding the letter of state, and going to Dian as an envoy to appease the southwestern Yi."

Ying Zheng directly issued an order and hand-picked the words.

"Sir, lead the order."

Chen Ping immediately wept with joy and thanked him.

Although the official position of the envoy of Dianke Temple is small, for him, it is undoubtedly the first step on the ladder of Qingyun.

"You go down first! It's good to have some rest and leave tomorrow!"

Ying Zheng looked at the dirty Chen Ping, and said in a voice that could not be refused.

"Sir, obey the order."

"Minister, leave."

Chen Ping bowed again, and then slowly left Pingtian Hall.

"Go back!"

Ying Zheng watched Chen Ping leave, then stood up and said softly.

After finishing speaking, he turned and left Pingtian Hall, and walked towards the inner hall, Qitian Hall.
