Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 186 Zheng Guo, chasing guests
Since the Queen's Sealing Ceremony, Ying Zheng spent the night at Mi Zheng's place almost every day.

After Ying Zheng deliberately spread such news through the Black Ice Platform, Xiong Qi and Xiong Huan, who had just become kings, suddenly became the new dignitaries.

The crowds are crowded, and there is an endless stream of dignitaries coming and going to curry favor with them every day.Almost broke the threshold of Xiong Qi and Xiong Huan's mansion.

And among these people, there are many Chu officials who once served Xiong Quan and had to remain neutral and protect their lives wisely.Even many sensitive Wei Fan officials quietly sent gifts to show their friendship.

Although the identities of Xiong Qi and Xiong Huan seem to be unusually dignified now, Xiong Qi understands in his heart that now is just the last ray of sunshine before the storm.

If you want to gain a firm foothold in the imperial court, you must be prepared for revenge from the old Qin family.Only after they have survived the first and most violent counterattack of the old Qin family can they be qualified to stand above the court.

"Brother, tomorrow is the court meeting..." Xiong Huan walked behind Xiong Qi and said worriedly.

"En." Xiong Qi replied calmly.

"Brother, are you prepared?" Xiong Huan asked worriedly.

"No." Xiong Qi's answer made Xiong Huan's heart skip a beat.

"Why is that brother so calm?"

"Because, I know, the king will definitely help me!" Xiong Qi turned his head and replied firmly.

"The king will help you?"

"That's right." Xiong Qi nodded and said, "Your Majesty worked so hard to elevate you and my brother to our current status. How could he just abandon you and me like this? Wouldn't it be that he destroyed himself? prestige?"

"Also..." Xiong Huan thought for a while, then nodded.

"Now, what I am worried about is that the anger of the old Qin family will not come towards you and my brother."

"Who will it be for? Your Majesty?"

"maybe……"

……

The next day, all civil and military officials walked slowly towards the main hall amidst the bronze bells, and Xiong Qi and Xiong Huan were naturally among them.

"Changwen-jun, Changping-jun, please stop!"

Suddenly, Baili Jun's voice came from behind Xiong Qi and Xiong Huan.

"Master Baili." Xiong Qi and Xiong Huan bowed their hands in a salute, neither humble nor overbearing.

"The two young masters, Zhang Tai, are really young heroes for saving you." Bai Lijun said with a smile.

"Lord Baili praised you absurdly." Xiong Qi replied calmly.

"Hehe, a few days ago, fortunately, one of my disciples reported and discovered a Korean secret work. The two young masters are now celebrities in front of the king. When the time comes, you can help me more." Bai Lijun finished speaking. , arching hands and saluting.

"Do your best." Xiong Qi replied in a calm tone.

"Hehe." Baili Jun looked at Xiong Qi and Xiong Huan again, and then left with a smile again.

Xiong Qi and Xiong Huan looked at each other, and walked towards the main hall silently.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Surrounded by a crowd of court ladies, Ying Zheng slowly walked into the hall and ascended to the throne.

"Welcome the king!"

"Be flat."

Ying Zheng glanced at Xiong Qi and Xiong Huan who were standing in the third row from the left, and smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, I have this performance!"

Before Ying Zheng could speak, the Patriarch of the Meng family came out of the old Qin family trembling.

"Meng Qing, what can I do?" Ying Zheng asked calmly, with a slight flash of unhappiness in his eyes.

"In my great Qin, there is a small work, toil my Qin people and exhaust my country's strength, in an attempt to prevent my great Qin from leaving Hangu in the east!" The head of the Meng family said sonorously.

"Oh? Who is it?" Ying Zheng asked as a person appeared in his mind, pretending not to know.

"Exactly, the Korean Zheng Guo!"

"Zheng Guo?" In the court, many people showed doubts, all of them were not sure who Zheng Guo was.

"My colleagues may have forgotten that this person was a gift from the King of Han when he was the first king, and he built new water conservancy for our Great Qin. However, his real purpose is to exhaust Qin's strategy, in order to consume our Great Qin's national power, and he can't look back!"

Ying Zheng looked at the performance of the head of the Meng family, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, dismissive.What happened next, Ying Zheng knew what he was going to do without even thinking about it.

"I am from Qin, and my wife and son are bestowed with military merits. Now, Zheng Guo is exhausting my Great Qin, making my Great Qin suffer from hard labor, and cannot go east with all my strength. This person should be punished!"

"Oh? If that's the case, according to what Meng Qing said, we will kill this country of Zheng!" Ying Zheng's majestic voice came from above the hall, and his tone also contained rage and killing intent.

Yingzheng was so decisive, and his answer without asking for details made the head of the Meng family stunned, and then said angrily: "My lord! Zheng Guo's crime is unforgivable, but this is not the root cause! The root cause is that he is from South Korea." , that is, the people of Yaodong! With a peek at the leopard, I invite the king to expel the guest of Yaodong!"

As soon as the Meng family's words came out, all the officials in the court immediately boiled.

The previous state of Zheng was okay, if it was really sent by the King of Han, it was the policy of exhausting Qin, and if he was killed, he would be killed, there is nothing to say.However, it would be too much to expel the entire Yaodong Keqing from the country.

"What does Zheng Guo's crime have anything to do with me and other Yaodong guests?" Immediately, many Yaodong people scolded angrily.

"What you say makes sense!"

"that is!"

Immediately, the already noisy court hall became even more lively.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and gave Zhao Gao a look.

"Silence! On the court, the king is in front of you, how decent is it!" Zhao Gao immediately understood, pretending to be a tiger.

"Where is Zheng Guo?" Ying Zheng asked calmly, beating on the throne.

"Bring Zheng Guo!" Seeing Ying Zheng's order, the head of the Meng family passed the order outside the palace.

After a while, Zheng Guo, who was wearing a prison uniform, was brought to the court.

"Guo Zheng, Meng Qing said that you were entrusted by the King of Han to build canals under the guise of Qin's policy. Is what you said true?" Ying Zheng sat upright slightly, pretending to be majestic and asked.

"My lord, it is true that in the name of the King of Han, I came to Qin State to cast the canal!" Although Zheng Guo was wearing a prison uniform and was a little sloppy, his tone of voice was indeed full of air.

"Hmph! If that's the case, don't apologize with death!" The Patriarch of the Meng family snorted coldly.

"My lord, where is the crime?" Zheng Guo stared angrily, his eyes widening.

"Hmph, using hundreds of thousands of hard labor to exhaust my Daqin, and still say I'm not guilty!"

"The labor labor used to cast the canal is only tens of thousands per year, and there have been hundreds of thousands in the past ten years. The mere tens of thousands of people are injured?" Zheng Guo asked rhetorically.

"The material used to cast the canal is huge, isn't it tired Qin?"

"Nothing big or small, property big or small, all are recorded in the Jane. Zheng Guo has never been greedy for ink, so what crime is there!"

"You! You!" The head of the Meng family was immediately gagged by Zheng Guo's words, not knowing what to do.

The head of the Meng family didn't know what to say, but Zheng Guo said again: "And once this canal is completed, the three hundred miles of Qinchuan can be fertile soil. From then on, there will be abundant grains, the people will have enough food, and the country will be rich. .The merits are in the present age, and the benefits are in the future! What crimes did Zheng Guo commit! "

In the end, the voice of Zheng Guo was almost echoing in the entire hall.

"So, Zhuqing thinks that Zheng Guo should be killed or not?" Ying Zheng asked casually as if he had watched a play.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Guo's move will benefit the country and the people. If Zheng Guo is guilty, we are all guilty!" A minister of the Eastern Faction immediately stood up and said.

It quickly got the approval of a group of Eastern ministers.On the other hand, the old Qin family didn't know what to do.

"Since this is the case, how about giving this canal Zheng Guoqu to comfort Zheng Qing?" Ying Zheng said when he saw that the old Qin family had been silent for a long time.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

A group of ministers from the Eastern Faction immediately responded.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Zheng Guo not only didn't offend, but instead got a big credit, his plan was about to go to waste, Sima Jun didn't care about anything else, and immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, although the State of Zheng is innocent, it is difficult to guarantee that among the Yaodong kingdoms, there will be no other details involved here. For the sake of my Great Qin's safety, I still implore Your Majesty to expel Yaodong Keqing!"

Seeing that Sima Jun went to battle in person, all the ministers of the Eastern faction dared not say a word even though their teeth were itching with hatred.

"So, Master Sima also wants to expel the old minister from Qin?" Finally, Meng Ao, who had been silent for a long time, came out and said.

Today's Meng Ao replaced Lu Buwei early on and became the pillar of the Yaodong Clan.Seeing Meng Ao standing up, all the people from the Eastern faction rejoiced.

"General Meng has made great military exploits for our Great Qin, how could it be a trick of Yao Dong?" Sima Jun smiled, facing Meng Ao, he admitted his cowardice.

"What the old minister said was just those innocuous guests, not the old ministers in the court, please see clearly!" Sima Jun arched his hands and said to Ying Zheng.

Then, without waiting for Yingzheng to open his mouth, Sima Jun took out a long blood-stained silk script from his cuff, and said, "This is a speech jointly signed by thousands of worried and angry people in the Great Qin Pass!"
