On the fourth day of Ying Zheng's accession to the throne, he summoned his ministers to the palace to discuss state affairs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lang Zhongling is ranked in Jiuqing, not only in charge of the palace Lang officials, garrison the king of Qin, every time the court meeting, Lang Zhongling has to read out the policy, with a sword often standing on the left side of the king, in order to show the king's prestige.

In the middle of the night yesterday, the chamberlain in the palace came in a hurry, just to talk about this matter, Su Ming saw the 100,000 anxious posture, and never fell asleep again, thinking about this matter all night.

Among the heroes of the Warring States Period, the political officials of the Qin State were the most complete. Take this court meeting as an example, in a specific place, a specific group of people, who the king needs to summon, this person has to wait in advance, every move is very strict, so that it can be orderly. On the contrary, the state of Chu has always been a weak monarch and a strong minister, compared to the "legal system" of the Qin state, he is more ruled by people, and sometimes Yin Hui is greater than the royal power.

However, in the current Qin State, the new monarch has just ascended the throne, and in the temple, it can be said that the wolves are around, and the king is walking on thin ice, which Su Ming deeply understands.

Yingji was dressed in a black royal suit, wearing a bright yellow crown of twelve crowns, stepping on white black gang boots, embroidered Xuanyao Yunteng, walking with a dignified posture, followed by a group of palace maids, and was heading to the main hall.

At this time, the ministers were already waiting in the main hall.

Su Ming stood on the left side of the throne, wearing a sword at his waist, with eight characters on the outside, heroic, high and down, just looking down on the ministers below.

On the left side of the main hall, it is headed by Gan Mao, the left minister, and followed by Yan Jun, the right minister. Most of the courtiers here are Shandong scholars, and at this time, Wei Ran, the general of Xianyang, is among them.

Su Ming stayed on him for a while, and Wei Ran also glanced at Su Ming. I haven't seen each other for just four days, and this Wei Ran has already come together with Gan Mao, and it seems that this speed is quite fast.

A column on the right side of the main hall, headed by the left chief Yingci, followed by the right chief Yingci, at a glance, this side is full of old ministers of the Qin State, surnamed Ying, which is very different from the opposite. Seeing this, Su Ming was slightly surprised, in just four days, the courtiers in the court have been divided into two factions, and this court discussion should also be started by them.

These people are exactly what you say, what I say, let's talk about it, how can there be a court in the middle of the hall. And the people at the front are all looking at their noses and noses, noses and mouths, with a detached appearance, as if this matter has nothing to do with them.

Especially Zuo Shu Chang Ying, stroking his beard with one hand, smiling, and glancing at Gan Mao from time to time. Gan Mao knew the situation, but he didn't speak. Only Yan Junyu stood inside, transcendent from the world. On the wrinkled forehead, a Sichuan character was formed, which seemed to be a little disliked.

"My king has arrived, and the ministers are quiet!"

Su Ming looked sideways, Yingji was about to come in, and when he saw the commotion here, he directly crossed his duties as an internal servant, raised his voice, and shouted hard.

This sound was a little hysterical, and Su Ming used all his strength. The voice was loud, and he kept thinking about it in the hall, and he was surprised to smell it. directly interrupted the quarrel of the ministers, and suddenly, the hall fell silent.

To say that the majesty is majestic enough, but such a voice with anger made those shocked ministers look at Su Ming angrily, it seems that Su Ming has sinned a lot of people.

It stands to reason that this thing didn't belong to Su Ming in the first place, and he didn't shout like that, but Su Ming just couldn't help it. Yingji, who came slowly on the side, glanced at Su Ming and nodded to him slightly.

Immediately, the ministers reacted and immediately went down to worship the mountain and shouted. When Yingji opened her arms, the palace maid grabbed the placket of her clothes and sat down slowly, and the attendant on the side glanced at Su Ming cautiously, and saw that he didn't mean to open his mouth, so he spoke.

"My king is in the court, and the ministers are discussing."

The prime minister of the Qin State has great rights to assist the King of Qin in dealing with the affairs of the court, and for ordinary things, he can completely deal with them by himself, and once he goes to the court to discuss the matter, it must be a major matter.

As soon as these words fell, the right chief Yingci glanced at the person behind him, and a minister stood up at that moment, Su Ming recognized this person, this person was an official servant, and he was in charge of chariots and horses.

"My lord, the envoy of Chu asks to see. At this time, he was already waiting outside the palace gate. My Qin and Chu are intertwined, and Chu is a big country, and the minister is willing to invite my king to see him, make friends with Chu, and benefit me Qinye! ”

The envoy of Chu asked to see him, and when Su Ming heard it, he immediately thought that it might have something to do with the letter of state the day before yesterday, so the letter of state was not sent to the state of Chu at all, but directly to the envoy of the state of Chu, and the envoy had been staying in Xianyang.

Envoys to other countries may make decisions on behalf of the monarch in certain matters. If Chu wants to annex Yue, it must first lobby Qin, so as not to be attacked by the enemy. Of course, there is another meaning to this, that is, when the new king ascends the throne, it is the lord who is suspicious, and the countries will also send envoys as usual to inquire about the news.

But what made Su Ming most strange was that the envoys of these countries visited him, wasn't it a matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The two prime ministers were there, and it was obvious that the servant was overstepping his authority.

At this time, Su Ming glanced at Gan Mao and Zhu Liji, and saw that the two of them did not reflect. Yingji also sensed the problem inside, and thought about it, but before she could straighten it out, this Yingci jumped out again.

"It was the responsibility of the Prime Minister's Office to ask for a meeting with the envoys of the Chu State, but the Prime Minister refused to keep the ministers outside the palace walls on the grounds that Qin Yue was each other's lips and teeth. Although the servant is trespassing, he is also anxious for Qin, and hopes that the king will appease him.

The minister thought that the mountains and rivers of Qin and Yue were different, and the land was not adjacent, so how could they be lips and teeth of each other. This common people still know that far water can't quench their thirst, and besides, my king, even more, Chu is a strong neighbor of Qin, and the king has just ascended the throne, so he should not have a bad relationship with Chu, and it is inevitable that he will mistake Qin.

In the past, when the prince was dedicated, he was brave for a while, fighting a breath, and the Wei State was in war for many years, resulting in the accession of filial piety, my Qin country was in danger, and the six countries sought Qin, if it were not for the filial piety of the prince, out of the abyss, the country would not be a country.

If the king has the heart to fight for hegemony, he should make friends with the Chu State, so that he can be in Nan'an. The Jin of the three families is the real enemy of my Qin, especially Wei Gou, and I am a feud with Qin, and the blood of the Qin people cannot be shed in vain.

During the period of King Huiwen, he intended to make friends with the state of Chu, and the daughter of the king of Chu at that time was his concubine, and the first king was able to suppress Bashu, and it was inseparable from this.

Now, the queen mother is the daughter of the king of Chu, but also the queen mother, there is such a relationship, I Qin should be close to Chu and leave the three Jin, this so-called comb can not leave the relatives, the minister is afraid and thoughtful, sleepless night, the heart of the fist, please I Wang Mingjian! ”

Ying Ci's words, full of joy, long speeches, from ancient times to the present, listing several Qin monarchs, what they said is impossible to refute.

When Su Ming first met Yingci, because of his tongue blossoming lotus skills, he successfully estranged Yingji and Gan Mao, and now he said such a thing again, making the court unexpectedly unspeakable.

Su Ming peeked at Yingji and found that Yingji's face was pale and she didn't say a word.

The sword furnace of the Yue Kingdom assisted Yingji to ascend the throne, and Yingji shocked the Chu State, which is also reasonable. What's more, this Yingji is a generous-minded person who keeps his promises. Whether Ying Ci knew it or not, this move was forcing Ying Ji to break her promise.

At this time, the hall was quiet, and Zuo Shu stroked his beard, his face was elegant and generous, but his eyes were full of ruthlessness.
