Chapter 213: Commander-in-Chief
"Ladies and gentlemen, the little prince has promised me that the Xiongnu will be taken down this time, and I have also agreed to appoint the little prince as the commander of the expedition against the Xiongnu, do you have any other opinions?"
In the early dynasty, Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair, holding his head high, with a tiger face, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.
"Sizzle......"
Except for a few important ministers who participated in the discussion yesterday, the other ministers suddenly gasped.
"At the age of six, he became a commander and led hundreds of thousands of troops to destroy the Huns? It's not His Majesty's joke, is it? ”
"Do you think Your Majesty will be joking?"
"Yes, the little boy fought the first battle of Lingnan very beautifully, and it is possible for the little boy to continue to lead the troops to the battle!"
"Lingnan is not as good as the Huns, those barbarians are ruthless and do everything, but they are not so easy to deal with!"
"The little boy has a flexible head, maybe there is a way!"
……
The ministers whispered.
"Prime Minister, Your Majesty wants to appoint the little prince as the commander, you absolutely can't agree!"
"Yes, the expedition to the Huns is a big deal, you can't make such a hasty decision, and this is a good opportunity to make military achievements, you must not miss it!"
Feng Zai and Li Xin were unprepared, came to Li Si's side, and whispered.
"Humph! What if you don't agree? Didn't you listen to what Your Majesty just said? The little boy has promised that he will definitely take down the Huns this time, and if you are replaced, do you dare to make such a guarantee? ”
Li Si snorted coldly twice and laughed at himself.
Your Majesty's words have already been said to this, and it is obvious that you want to gag their mouths!
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, who dares to guarantee victory?"
Speaking of this, Li Xin's old face immediately turned red.
The first battle of Fachu back then was a stain on his life, as long as he mentioned victory or defeat, he would remember!
"That little boy promised, what else can we do?"
Li Si raised his chin at Xiao Zhengtai.
He was also very helpless about this matter.
Even he himself has already felt that the emperor has been paying more and more attention to that little prince recently, and his status in the court is getting worse day by day.
But there was no way, everything that kid did was something they didn't dare to think about, let alone do!
"Or ...... Still forced the little boy to make a military order? ”
Feng Zheng tentatively spoke.
"Stupid!"
However, he was immediately cursed in a low voice by Li Si, "Have you forgotten all about the last military order?" It is because of the military order that we can't refute the reform, if we ask for the military order again this time, once that kid is lucky and wins again, it is estimated that the condition is to let us get out! ”
That kid has been in the palace for more than half a year, and through this period of understanding, he found that that kid is not a master who is willing to suffer!
Even the emperor put forward conditions, he has to get some benefits, let alone them!
If they ask that kid to make a military order again, that kid will definitely not cheapen them, and will definitely make them pay the same price!
The Xiongnu sent envoys to envoy Daqin, and the two countries were about to go to war again, and it was the time to employ people, and His Majesty would not carry out large-scale reforms for the time being.
When this kid comes back, reform will definitely be on the agenda.
But even if he reforms, he is still above the court.
Once the military order is proposed, I'm afraid that kid will let them take the official position to detach, and the gain will outweigh the loss!
Besides, the other officials have no intention of objecting, and if they propose, no one will support it, and His Majesty will not adopt it at all!
"Alas......!"
After listening to Li Si's analysis, even if Feng Zai and Li Xin didn't give up, they could only nod helplessly and quietly stand back in their positions.
"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have no objections!"
When the other ministers had finished their discussions, and the whole hall was quiet again, the ministers arched their hands and shouted in unison as if they had made an appointment.
During the period when everyone was discussing with each other, Ying Zheng was not in a hurry, leaning on the armrest of the dragon chair sofa and fiddling with his fingernails.
Jingfu on the side couldn't help but snicker.
This subconscious little action is exactly the same as that of the little boy.
I'm afraid that even His Majesty himself didn't find out!
"Good! Since you all have no opinions, this matter is ...... decided! ”
After receiving a response, Ying Zheng sat up straight and glanced at the ministers, "Do you have anything else to do with Aiqing?" If it's okay, let's retreat first! ”
"Your Majesty, now there are only five days left before the half-moon period, the soldiers below have come to report, recently those envoys are extremely restless, even if there are our soldiers to follow, they will grab the things on the market stalls at will, the ministers suggest, kill them first, anyway, it will not be a few days!"
The general, Kang Anping, suddenly came out of the ranks and gave his hands to play.
Except for the soldiers in the official post who were inserted by Xiao Zhengtai, the others were all sent by Kang Anping under the order of Yingzheng.
A few days ago, the soldiers came to report, but it was not so serious, for the sake of the big plan, he endured it!
But in the past two days, the behavior of those envoys has become more rampant, and sometimes they will even tease the people on the street, and the soldiers will come forward to stop them, and they will still stubbornly refuse to accept it!
He couldn't bear this anymore, so he decided to play today and kill those dogs!
"The ministers seconded the proposal, those envoys began to run rampant when the half-moon period was about to arrive, and they despised the majesty of my Great Qin, they should be killed!"
Zhang Han also came out to second, and said indignantly.
"Yes, I've been looking at them for a long time!"
"Yes, if you kill them, you can also vent your anger for those bullied people first......!"
As soon as Kang Anping started, many ministers stood up and seconded the proposal.
"Feiyu, what do you think about this matter?"
Ying Zheng stroked his beard and thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Xiao Zhengtai.
It is he who advocates holding them in Xianyang and buying time for the artillery, and now there are ministers who propose to kill these envoys in advance, and I don't know if it is appropriate, don't spoil the plan!
"Father, my son feels that the time has not come!"
However, Xiao Zhengtai shook his head and objected.
"Oh? Why is that? ”
Ying Zheng was slightly puzzled.
"Father, now that the arsenal has added a lot of craftsmen, the artillery that can be produced is far from enough, and it will take some time!"
"If we kill all the envoys now, within three days, those Xiongnu hidden in Xianyang will definitely find a way to send the news back to the Xiongnu, once the Xiongnu send troops to Daqin, we will be at a loss to deal with it, and we will definitely suffer!"
"It's better to let the soldiers continue to stare at it, as long as it's not too much, just bear with it, and when the artillery is almost built, it will definitely make their heads move!"
Xiao Zhengtai stood up and said his opinion.
The ministers present suddenly showed a look of enlightenment!
At the beginning, Xiao Zhengtai left those envoys in Daqin for no reason, except for Ying Zheng and a few generals, most of them still didn't understand what the reason was!
It wasn't until today that I realized that the little boy was like this in order to delay the manufacture of artillery!
