Chapter Seventy-One: Why Did the Tiger and Wolf Let the Xuanniao Fall to the Ground?
Chapter Seventy-One: Why Did the Tiger and Wolf Let the Xuanniao Land?
The court is a place to do things, yes.
But this situation has changed since LΓΌ Buwei was killed, Ying Zheng is a person who pursues efficiency, even if many of his decisions are a little hasty, but the ministers have become accustomed to this fast-paced court mode.
Generally speaking, Ying Zheng is a 'very talkative' king.
Because no matter what you say, Ying Zheng smiled and said nothing, and then still gave orders according to his own ideas.
Only when it comes to war, Yingzheng has always been tough.
Now that the Qin State is prosperous, seeing that the prosperity of the Six Kingdoms and the domination of the world is about to come, someone has put forward such a ridiculous suggestion as offering to the barbarians.
I don't know what to do!
Ying Zheng's sharp eyes swept indifferently through the dodging eyes of these ministers, and finally landed on the right hand side of Wang Juan, "What is the opinion of the right prime minister?" β
Kong Ai, who was kneeling on the ground, cast a look at Wang Juan for help.
Zuo Prime Minister Kui Lin automatically returned to the position.
Wang Juan came out of the line and saluted, and said respectfully, "The minister thinks that the various vassal states have just been eliminated, and the remnants of the four kingdoms have been ambushed, only the Yan land and Qi land are already trapped in the cage, but Donghu is like the wild wolf on the plain, even if the Great Qin Iron Horse is unparalleled in the world, it is difficult to annihilate these wild wolves in a short time." β
"The prime minister also means to supply Donghu?" Ying Zheng's voice was a little colder again.
Wang Juan smiled and shook his head: "How can a tiger and wolf let the Xuanniao land?" β
Ying Zheng's face softened a little, and he was very interested in this sycophant, "What is the prime minister's opinion?" β
"At least Kong Dianke is not wrong, the Donghu wolf, all he wants is money and food." Wang Juan chuckled and said, "Money and grain, what the Yan country has, just let them get it." β
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, as if thoughtful.
"Isn't the right prime minister's words going to tear the ground?" Imperial Doctor Feng Zheng said coldly.
"The general hasn't conquered Yandi yet, so how can he say that he is ripping the soil?" Wang Juan smiled but did not speak.
"The right prime minister didn't say that the minister also forgot, the general Wang Ben went out with an army of 300,000, and he didn't enter an inch of land in March, and he spent countless money and food, and the Tingwei Mansion has been unable to make ends meet, so if it goes on, the Tingwei Mansion may be difficult to support the money and food for next month." Feng Zheng said with a sneer.
"The army is out on the march, it has its own general to command, the Tingwei Mansion provides money and food, and each performs its own duties, the general's defeat should be punished by military law, and the Tingweifu will be punished by the state if it fails to take responsibility, dare to ask where Dr. Feng is?" Wang Juan had a mocking smile on his face.
The implication is that.
Where are you a green onion?
Feng Zheng's face suddenly rose, and he was speechless with anger.
"Li Si, is there really a problem with the money and food in the Tingwei Mansion?" Ying Zheng didn't care about the secret fight between Wang Juan and Feng Zheng, and asked coldly with his sword eyebrows.
"Back to the king, it is indeed a little unsustainable, the general 300,000 elite soldiers are thousands of miles away, not to mention the long distance, and they are all wild places, which has increased a lot of consumption, and some time ago, there were remnants of rebellion in Jingzhou, and General Meng Yi led 100,000 elite soldiers to quell the chaos, and the Tingwei Mansion was indeed a little anxious for a while." Li Si said respectfully.
"Allocate sixty percent of the royal quota from Shaofu, first solve the urgent need, and the construction of this year's palace will also be suspended." Ying Zheng waved his hand casually.
As soon as the words fell, the faces of all the ministers changed.
Since ancient times, only the king has embezzled the national tax, and few monarchs are willing to pay money from their own treasury to supplement the state, and such a monarch is the one that the courtiers are most afraid of.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Under the leadership of Wang Xuan, all the ministers knelt down and bowed.
"Your Majesty's compassion for the subjects is the great fortune of my Qin State, but the king's inner treasury must not be used lightly, since the Tingwei Mansion has liquidated the large military degree, there is naturally a way to solve it, right, Li Tingwei." Wang Juan said with a smile.
Cold sweat oozed from Li Si's forehead, Wang Juan's words were almost going to force him to death.
If he says that there is no way to solve it, it is his dereliction of duty and not calculating the salary of the army, but if there is a way to solve it, where will he go to make money?
Feeling Ying Zheng's gaze fall on him, Li Si felt as if he was overwhelmed by a mountain.
"What the prime minister said is very true, Your Majesty Shengming, protect me Daqin Wanshi Yongchang, how can you let Your Majesty save the inner treasury to replace the treasury, although the ministers and others do not have a few properties, but they are better than the number of people, they should be able to do their part, even if they smash the pot and sell iron, and sell their wives and children, they must support until General Wang comes triumphantly~" Feng Zheng glanced at Wang Juan in a strange manner, and said respectfully.
"Hush." Ying Zheng was amused by Feng Zheng's words, and looked at Wang Juan playfully, curious about his reaction.
Wang Juan's face did not change, "I have heard for a long time that Dr. Feng's family is rich and rivals the country, but I didn't expect it to be true, and it can even withstand the expenses of the Tingwei Mansion." β
Feng Zheng's face changed greatly, and he angrily looked at Wang Juan, an old guy, who was vicious, and even used this kind of private matter to fight back regardless of his face.
However, he didn't have time to get angry with Wang Juan, and knelt on the ground again, "The prime minister teased the ministers, please make the king's decisions!" β
Many ministers in the hall blushed for Feng Zai, such a big person, ranked in Jiuqing, was so shameless 'coquettish'
The smile on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth was even worse, "Feng Aiqing has this intention, the widow is naturally pleased, as for what the prime minister said, it's just a joke, okay, back to business, the prime minister thinks it's a good thing to let Donghu into Yandi?" β
"The Hu people are fierce, come and go like the wind, but they are not good at defending the city and attacking the city, and they are not good at farming, even if they take the Xiongcheng, they can't hold it, when the city is empty, they will naturally retreat, and the minister feels that they can only run rampant in the Yan barbarian land, and after the easy water, they are stupid donkeys who are put on chews." Wang Juan said with a smile.
"Didn't the prime minister forget the time when the dog Rong broke the pickaxe, Bai Di Zhongshan, and the mountain Rong disturbed Yan?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "The widow doesn't want to be harassed by a group of barbarians in a world that has finally been pacified." β
"The king doesn't need to worry, Daqin has a million male soldiers, as long as he relies on the Great Wall, there will not be any stupid donkey who can step into the Central Plains, and after the country recuperates, His Majesty can go east to hunt wolves and go north to hunt tigers.
Ying Zheng laughed, obviously very useful for these words.
Feng Zai glared at Wang Juan jealously and secretly scolded the sycophants.
After the court meeting dispersed, Wang Juan was invited to the palace to speak.
Feng Zai took Li Si and followed Zuo Prime Minister Kui Lin indignantly.
"Prime Minister, what is the Wang family going to do?" Feng Zheng asked in a low voice.
Kui Lin walked on the road of the White Jade Palace without squinting, "You don't care about Donghu?" β
"A bunch of barbarians, a rabble." Feng Zai sneered.
"Huh." Kui Lin glanced at Feng Zheng, "What the Wang family is going to do, I don't know, but I do know that you are going to suffer." β
"Why did the prime minister say this?" Feng Zheng was taken aback.
"Wang Juan hasn't settled accounts with you yet, don't you think it's strange?" Kui Lin asked with a smile.
"Settle accounts with me? What is the account? Feng Zai glanced at Li Si in confusion.
"Wang Li." Kui Lin smiled and spit out two words.
Feng Zai's face changed slightly, and he said quietly, "What the prime minister says again, I don't understand it." β
"Since you don't understand, let's keep pretending." Kui Lin sneered lightly, "I really don't know what you think, you would actually move the Wang family's single seedling, do you really think that this move is what the king wants to see?" β
Cold sweat began to ooze from the corners of Feng Zao's forehead again, but he tried his best to pretend to be indifferent.
"Don't forget, what the king is afraid of is not how prosperous the Wang family is." Kui Lin patted Feng Zai's shoulder meaningfully, looked up at the wild geese passing by, and muttered as if to himself, "The wild geese have flown south and returned to their nests." β
Feng Zao's body trembled, as if he had been struck by lightning, and watched Kui Lin get into the carriage and disappear at the palace gate.
Li Si, who had been pretending to be deaf, cautiously said, "Brother Feng? β
"That old immortal, is he really coming back?" Feng Zheng said in a trembling voice as if he had lost his soul.
Li Si also gasped after hearing this, his deep eyes flashed with a different color, and he lowered his voice, "Brother Feng, have you heard that the king invited back an envy from Yandi to swear an oath?" β
Feng Zheng was slightly stunned and looked at Li Si suspiciously.

"Master, this should be the last batch of birds flying south." Wang Huai opened the curtain and reported to Wang Ben, who was looking at the bamboo slips behind the bookcase.
"It's going to be cold, too." Wang Ben put down the bamboo slips and looked at the clear sky outside the window through the gap in the curtain, "I don't know where they have gone." β
"The green wolf has not heard from him for half a month, and the last news is left by the Zhu family, let's not move forward, it seems that we have reached a safe place." Wang Huai said softly, "Don't worry too much about the head of the family, the son is no longer a child, and besides, there is the Zhu family waiting." β
"That kid has been afraid of cold since he was a child..."Wang Ben squinted, shook his head in a stalk, and then opened his eyes, the softness in his eyes had been suppressed by ferocity, "Is there still food in Liaoyang City?" β
"A few days ago, King Yan expelled a large number of civilians, and it seems that there is not much food left." Wang Huai reported: "It's a pity that those civilians were taken captive by the Donghu people. β
"How many people have come to Donghu?" Wang Ben frowned and asked.
"According to the report from the spies, it has been over 100,000, and the tents are full of Pinggang Road, and it seems that it has attracted a lot of Huns." Wang Huai said with a smile.
"It seems that that Xianmen swore that he was really like a god, and Donghu really wanted Yandi." Wang Ben smiled.
"Although the Donghu tribe is a nomadic people, there are still many remnants of the Six Kingdoms and indigenous people in the general composition, and the north of Yanshan is even more barbaric and wild, so they naturally want Yandi to recuperate." Wang Huai also said with a smile: "However, because they have not been in contact with the Central Plains for a long time, they have underestimated our Great Qin Iron Cavalry. β
"Pass the order, when the first fallen leaves turn yellow, let Li Xin take the initiative with 10,000 elite horsemen to attack and keep Donghu north of Pinggang Road." Wang Ben chuckled and waved his hand.
The Sumilion Wood military order is full of scarlet.
Wang Huai bent down to pick up the military order, wiped it, and said, "The old ancestor heard that he also came out of Zhongnan Mountain. β
Wang Ben froze for a moment after hearing this, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
After such a long period of grievances, I finally waited for the answer I wanted.
