The time for the dinner soon came, and according to the orders of King Yingzheng of Qin, all the high-ranking officials in and outside the Xianyang Palace had to come to pick up the dust for General Shen, who had returned triumphantly.

All of a sudden, many people came to the main hall where the dinner was held. Everyone sat in their respective seats, waiting for the arrival of King Qin and Red Boy.

Not long after, King Qin walked into the main hall with the red child, and everyone present knelt down and saluted.

"Flat!"

King Qin walked to his place, and then arranged the red boy in a seat closest to him.

The officials got up and saw this scene with different expressions on their faces.

Some people are happy for Red Boy, such as General Wang Xin, who followed Red Boy on the battlefield this time.

And some people are red with jealousy, such as the group of old ministers who once mocked the red child.

After all, King Qin is a person who has lived for decades, and he can see some people's small emotions, and said:

"The purpose of this dinner is mainly to celebrate the victorious return of General Shen. Don't look at General Shen's young age, but he has done his best for our Great Qin, and he is a hero of our Great Qin, you should treat him well in the future and take him as a model!"

Obviously, King Qin was speaking to those people.

Red Boy laid down the world for King Qin, and King Qin was of course grateful to Red Boy. What's more, the red boy is not proud of his achievements, which makes King Qin even more happy.

"The king has won the award, and it is natural for the minister to do this. ”

Red Boy said in front of everyone.

"General Shen is modest," King Qin's eyes were blazing, and he picked up the bronze wine bottle full of wine, "Come, the widow will toast you." ”

Seeing this, everyone saw that King Qin attached great importance to the red boy, so they raised the wine bottle in their hands and drank it with King Qin.

Red Boy then politely returned a glass, and after he put down his wine bottle, he frowned lightly and sighed quietly.

"Alas......"

"Why is General Shen sighing? Is it because tonight's wine and food are not to your taste?"

King Qin heard the red boy's sigh and asked with concern.

"No, no, no," the red boy waved his hand gently, "My lord, the minister just sighed that this battle was not easy, and at the beginning there was not even a map for the war, and at that time, I still feel difficult to do when I think about it now." ”

After the red boy finished speaking, as if borrowing wine to dispel his sorrows, he picked up another glass of wine and drank it.

"What?!Is there such a thing?!"

When King Qin heard this, his face was full of anger and he said loudly.

Several of His Royal Highness's old generals suddenly turned pale with fright, and their minds were almost blank.

"A few of you generals come out and talk about it!"

King Qin pointed at a few of them and said sharply.

Seeing this, the old generals didn't dare to delay for a moment, and walked to the center of the hall tremblingly, kneeling on the ground with a "poof".

"Great King, Minister...... The ministers deserve to die, the ministers did not keep the map well, and did not hand over the map to General Shen in time, so that it caused trouble to General Shen......"

A general with a dark face did not dare to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice.

It was the best reason he could come up with.

Even if he said "the ministers should die", he didn't want to die.

"What about the map, why didn't you keep such an important thing?"

King Qin continued to ask.

Several old generals fell silent for a moment, looking at each other secretly, as if discussing something.

Suddenly, I don't know who said this:

"Back to ...... Back to the king, the map ...... Map...... Lose...... Lost ......"

Although the sound of this sentence is not loud, it is loud, and every word is rooted in the hearts of the old generals.

As soon as these words came out, these old generals instantly turned to ashes, and they knew that they were finished now.

But they have a little doubt, everyone has discussed it before, if the king asks about this matter, he will say that the map needs to be repaired, and it is not handed over to General Shen in time, as for whether the king believes it or not, whether they die or not, it depends on the creation.

Even if it was discussed in this way, it seemed that no one was willing to hit the muzzle of the gun when King Qin was angry.

Now, who has no brains to say this unexpected but deadly sentence "the map is lost"?

It's unlikely that their own people said it, unless they didn't want to live anymore.

Losing the map used in the military is equivalent to leaking state secrets, and it is a capital crime!

When the king of Qin heard that the map was lost, he was furious:

"They're coming! Put them in prison!"

Hearing this, the old generals hurriedly defended themselves, blushed sharply, and kept kowtowing and shouting:

"The king, please see the king, the map is not lost......"

"King, we're just retouching the map, and the map really hasn't lost ......"

King Qin felt that this was all their excuse, and shouted angrily:

"Sophistry! It's just you who are quibbling! Quick! Put them in prison!"

Several guards who rushed over heard King Qin's order, and pulled several old generals hard, preparing to send them to the heavenly prison.

"The king, the ministers are wronged......"

Several cries resounded through the hall in an instant.

At this moment, the red boy said lightly:

The king was angry, and the minister believed that these old generals did not deliberately not give the map to the minister. ”

Although Red Boy said so, he didn't necessarily think so in his heart.

As soon as the words fell, several old generals breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

"Oh, why did General Shen say that?"

King Qin immediately stretched out his hand and motioned for the guards to stop, he wanted to hear what Red Boy had to say.

"Your Majesty, they don't have to do that. ”

The red boy pretended to be indifferent and said.

"However, they have caused you trouble, this is a fact! According to my Great Qin law, interfering with the official affairs of the commander must be punished the same! If they are not punished, it will be difficult to convince the public! Although the responsibility for this crime is slightly lighter, it is still necessary to do official business!"

"Oh, I see," the red boy nodded slightly, then looked at King Qin, "The king really wants to punish them?"

"Of course!"

King Qin looked serious and said these two words decisively.

"The minister has a reluctant request, can the king hand over a few of them to the minister?"

The red boy looked at the old generals who were still kneeling in the center of the main hall and didn't dare to raise their heads, and made such a request to King Qin.

King Qin was a little puzzled by this.

What does General Shen want them to do?!

"Good!"

However, King Qin thought that after all, the red boy had made great contributions to Great Qin this time, so he agreed to his request.

When several veteran generals heard this, anxiety and uneasiness suddenly welled up in their hearts, and they did not know what would await them.

Although the death penalty was exonerated, who knows what this General Shen will do with himself?

"The king, the minister implores, can you let a few generals return to their seats now, and after the dinner is over, let them go to Mingxuan Pavilion with their ministers?"

"Yes," King Qin turned his face to the old generals kneeling on the ground, "Did you hear that?"

The minister heard it. ”

Several old generals replied in unison, and then obediently returned to their seats.

They never thought that there would be such a fuss tonight, and that it would be like this.

Today's dinner made these old generals feel passive for the first time, so that they were not in the mood to enjoy the graceful singing and dancing at the dinner party.
