Parallel world, Daqin, Xianyang Palace.

On the vermilion hall, the ministers were silent.

In the noisy court meeting in the past, no one dared to speak first today.

On the high platform, a man wore a crown of gold beads and a purple-gold black robe.

His eyebrows are like knives, and his eyes are sharp and piercing.

Holding a bamboo slip, he fell heavily in front of the courtiers.

"Smack!"

"The entire army of 500,000 was defeated by tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers."

"The main general will be killed in battle, and the lieutenant will be captured."

"What a shame!"

"In the five hundred years since the founding of the Great Qin, I have never had such a big defeat in the face of the strong enemies of the Six Kingdoms!"

"Fighting a few southern barbarians has buried hundreds of thousands of troops, so you can speak!"

The ministers trembled, and no one dared to step forward to answer.

Seeing that Yingzheng in the stands became more and more angry, his eyes were full of murderous energy, and he could hardly bear it.

Wang Juan, who was at the forefront, stood up helplessly.

As the chief of the hundred officials, he assisted the emperor in handling the affairs of the whole country, and regardless of whether he made a mistake in this matter or not, he had to come out to take this responsibility.

"Your Majesty, the 500,000 army is not a lack of combat strength, but it is really unfamiliar with the route, the terrain is complex, the transportation of grain and grass is difficult, and the army has no food and collapses.

"Please also punish Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, Wang Juan bowed to the ground.

Ying Zheng didn't pay attention to Wang Juan, but instead scanned the ministers with his eagle-like sharp gaze.

"Why, 500,000 soldiers are fighting bloodily in the front, but they can't even supply food and grass in the rear, is it really just the prime minister's responsibility?"

As soon as these words came out, the grain officer among the officials, who was already worried in his heart, finally couldn't bear the pressure and stood up tremblingly.

"The minister is guilty! It was the minister's negligence and failure to think that the land of Baiyue was rainy for many years, and the road was difficult, so that the grain and grass could not be delivered! ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive your sin!"

Ying Zheng looked at the grain official who finally stood up, his eyes narrowed slightly.

A smile appeared on his cold face.

"Oh? Treasurer Liang said that he was guilty of negligence, what do you think? ”

The ministers looked at each other, facing the uncertain First Emperor, and they didn't know how to answer at all.

At this time, Zhao Gao, who was beside Ying Zheng, suddenly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty!"

"The minister got the news that a large amount of grain raised could be sent to the army as planned, but he was stranded in Changsha County for two days for no reason before he set off for Lingnan."

"It is precisely because of the two days of delay that we encountered even rainy days, and the roads were muddy and the grain trucks were never able to cross the mountains, causing the army to collapse without food for five days!"

The two sentences were like a bomb thrown into the crowd.

The ministers of the court and the central government were in a mess.

You must know that the Qin State fought all the year round, and the importance of military rations could be said to be the highest in the world at that time.

Since Qin Xiaogong, grain and grass have been the most important red line of Great Qin.

No country understands the importance of grain and grass better than them, and no one has ever dared to manipulate military rations.

And at this moment, Zhao Gao's words are obviously saying that someone is using military rations for personal gain!

And because of this, it led to the defeat of the 500,000 army of Great Qin.

This is not only a crime of killing the head, but I am afraid that even the punishment of the nine clans will not be able to quell.

Wang Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, was also shocked into a cold sweat.

He only knew that this junior had some talents, and he was still a member of his own Confucian school, so he arranged a position as a grain officer for him, but he didn't want him to be so greedy and dare to embezzle military rations.

If it is true, the first emperor on the stage will definitely not hesitate to turn the butcher knife in his hand to the inside, Xianyang City, Changsha County, all those who have anything to do with this matter will take their lives!

Sure enough, the next moment, Ying Zheng on the high platform retracted his smile.

"Treasurer Liang likes food so much? It seems that he is an honest person, and he can't eat enough on weekdays and wants to take the opportunity to eat more! ”

Looking at the expressionless Ying Zheng, the grain official had already begun to tremble, and kept looking at Wang Juan at the front, wanting the prime minister to save his life.

But without waiting for everyone's reaction, Ying Zheng said coldly.

"Then I will fulfill the wish of Treasurer Liang, and the nine clans will be full! For my Daqin 500,000 soldiers to be buried! ”

After speaking, without waiting for the grain officer to cry out in horror, the forbidden army outside the door went straight into the court and dragged him down.

Wang Xuan, who lowered his head, stiffened in place.

Satiety doesn't really feed you, it's feeding you mud and mixing it with water until you die!

After disposing of the culprit, Ying Zheng still didn't let Wang Juan get up and continued.

"The southern expedition to Baiyue has failed, and the Xiongnu in the north are eyeing each other, if the people of the world know that my Great Qin soldiers have been defeated in the land of Baiyue because of the corrupt officials of the courtiers, there may be some chaos."

"I don't want everyone to know about this matter, it's too big."

The trembling ministers of the court and the central government felt better when they heard this.

It seems that His Majesty still has concerns and does not want to kill too many people, only to punish the culprits and deter the ministers.

The ministers who had an interest in the matter were relieved.

"Lees! This matter is left to you to investigate secretly, and all those involved in this matter can report to the list after the death on the spot! ”

The ministers were stunned, so if you don't make a big fuss, you mean kill them directly?

Before the ministers could react, they saw a man with resolute eyes step forward and take a step past Wang Juan and saluted respectfully.

"Weichen obeys the order, and he will thoroughly investigate this matter and find out the culprit, so as to comfort my Great Qin soldiers and people!"

"Plop! Plop "Several courtiers who had a close relationship with the grain official immediately collapsed uncontrollably.

Wang Juan on the side was suddenly discouraged, he knew that his career was over, as for whether he could die well, it depended on His Majesty to see if he would leave a way to survive in the past for the sake of serving Daqin for half his life.

After slaughtering the grain official, Ying Zheng was still angry in his heart and had no intention of going to court.

waved his hand, and asked Zhao Gao to pick up the bamboo slips and leave the court.

Zhao Gao respectfully handed back the bamboo slip, and hurriedly whispered when he saw that Ying Zheng was about to dismiss the courtiers.

"Your Majesty! There are still envoys of the Yue Clan waiting outside the hall, they have been waiting for more than half a month! ”

Ying Zheng didn't want to pay attention to it, but thought that the Xiongnu in the north were flourishing.

Now there is the Yue Clan attracting firepower, once the Yue Clan is destroyed, the Xiongnu will definitely look at Daqin.

At that time, it will be attacked by the enemy on both sides, although Daqin is not afraid, there is no need to suffer that loss.

But he really didn't want to see the faces of these ministers now, and he couldn't help but want to cut them down after looking at them for a second longer.

"It's all gone! Go down and think about how Baiyue should calm down, and present it to me tomorrow! ”

The ministers saluted and dispersed out of the door.

"Call them up!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gao took a step back and shouted loudly.

"Xuan! The Yue's envoys are here! ”

At this time, five or six people in strange costumes outside the hall looked at the grain officials who were forcibly stuffed with dirt by five strong men of the forbidden army not far away, and there was a look of fear in their eyes.

It is rumored that the Great Qin Shi Huangdi swept the six countries and was a rare overlord in the ages, but he also had a tyrannical personality and tortured and killed the courtiers and the people if he disagreed.

Now it looks like it's as rumored.

Fortunately, a few of them spent a lot of money to inquire about the preferences of the First Emperor before they came.

With the call and shout, the six of them stepped into the majestic hall.

"Yue's Brondo, see the First Emperor!"

Ying Zheng nodded, and was about to say something, when he heard the envoy continue.

"Gongzi Fusu, gentle as jade, full of benevolence, respecting teachers, loving the people, really inherited a lot of His Majesty's advantages!"

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers who had already left unexpectedly stopped their steps of retreating from the dynasty and turned to look at Yingzheng one after another.

That look like it says it's up to you how you pick it up.

At this moment, even the corners of Ying Zheng's eyes couldn't help jumping, but he still said with a smile.

"Did the messenger hear anything before he came?"

Brondo smiled at Ying Zheng's originally cold face, thinking that the strategy he bought had worked.

An emperor like Qin Shi Huang has long been tired of hearing praise for him.

At this time, you have to pat his ass from another aspect.

That is to praise his son, from the perspective of a father, so that he can have the mood of joy.

With a good impression, let Daqin send troops to support before continuing to talk.

"Whenever the foreign ministers come to the city to rest, they must be able to hear the people's praise for the prince of Fusu."

"Childe is only a teenager, and the name of benevolence has already spread all over the world......."

Ying Zheng's eyelids jumped wildly.

The courtiers held back their laughter.

"Did the envoy go to a place called Qu Ge!"

Brondo was stunned, the place to buy news was indeed called Quge.

There are all kinds of bizarre gadgets sold, and I heard that the boss behind it is very powerful, even in the palace, he has a lot of face.

That's why they chose to go there, and they didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to inquire about Yingzheng's preferences.

Now I was seen through, and I was a little embarrassed for a while, and I couldn't speak.

Yingzheng is helpless, so don't lose face in the court.

"That's it, I just have a family banquet in a while, Zhao Gao, you will accompany the envoys to participate!"

Then he looked at the courtiers who were standing in the hall watching the play.

"What? Do you all want to attend my family dinner? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers immediately scattered, for fear that they would be dragged to accompany the wine if they walked slowly.

After a day of scolding, I finally stayed up until I got off work and was dragged to socialize, who wants to.

At this moment, a eunuch in the apse hurriedly arrived.

looked at the envoys on the side, and stopped talking to Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng frowned.

"What is there to hide, say!"

"Oh no, Your Majesty, Gongzi beat Taifu again, this time the blood flowed all over the ground, Taifu is dead or alive, shouting to go home and farm!"
