Chapter 15

"Fifty thousand elite soldiers... Do you know how much trouble your decision will bring to Daqin?"

Ying Zheng's eyes became serious, and his voice was a little colder than before.

He rarely spoke in such a bad tone to these old ministers, but this time, Ying Zheng was really angry.

"The old minister is dull, what does His Majesty mean by this?"

Hearing this, Wang Jian raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng, but his face became puzzled.

I am not young, but I am still willing to go out in person and lead the soldiers to the border to fight against the Huns. How many generals dare to do this?
What's more, what I did was not for the fame of making meritorious deeds, but for the sake of Yang Daqin Guowei.

Kill one as an example to others, and let's see who dares to invade those small countries after this battle.

Only in this way can the people on the border be at peace!
"What's the situation on the side of the Xiongnu, Wang Jian, have you sent someone to find out?"

Ying Zheng continued to ask, his tone becoming more serious.

"This······"

Hearing this question, Wang Jian was momentarily at a loss for words.

As a battle-tested general, he naturally knows how important it is to understand the battlefield environment before a battle. This detail is sometimes the key to the success or failure of a battle.

But the current military strength of the Xiongnu is completely incomparable with that of the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty. Wang Jian didn't take them seriously, so he didn't think about understanding the environment.

But at this moment when Ying Zheng asked this question, Wang Jian suddenly felt a little guilty, and realized that he had made some mistakes.

"See for yourself!"

As he spoke, Ying Zheng picked up a bamboo slip from the table and handed it over, which was the environmental report from the Huns.

Wang Jian didn't say much, and bent over, he took the bamboo with both hands and read it carefully.

"Boundless snow... It's freezing cold..."

Reading the environmental report, Wang Jian's eyes widened.

"The environment is so bad, I think it's stupid to send troops without inquiring about it! I'm guilty!"

After reading the report, Wang Jian fell to his knees on the ground.

As a general, he naturally knew what the bad weather meant, so he sent troops rashly. Even if the Xiongnu army was not as powerful as the Qin army, it would be better than taking advantage of the weather to kill the Qin army.

At this moment, Wang Jian suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Xiongnu dared to blatantly provoke Daqin when they came in. It turned out that the reliance behind it was the weather.

"At this time, there is a severe drought, and the food of the people of the whole Qin State is very scarce. If the army is collected and sent out, and the battle is lost in the end, what do you think will happen to the people of our country?"

Ying Zheng continued to ask.

Wang Jian became more frightened when he heard this, and bent down even more.

If you send troops rashly, the result is doomed to failure. Under such circumstances, there will definitely be riots!

When the time comes, the people will riot, and the princes and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will take advantage of this time to cause trouble, and Daqin will lose its national power due to this war. If one is not handled properly, it may directly lead to the destruction of the country.

"Wei Chen is guilty!"

Thinking of this, Wang Jian blamed himself more and more.

It was originally a country that I had worked so hard to build, but I didn't expect that the foundation would be damaged almost because of a negligence.

Fortunately, the emperor was wise and noticed something was wrong.

If not, even if I use my life to pay for this old bone of my own, it is definitely not enough to atone for my sin.

"Wang Jian, you are also a veteran, but I still hope that you will not be too arrogant, do your own affairs well first, and then take care of my affairs."

Seeing that the timing was almost here, Ying Zheng opened his mouth to speak.

For this kind of veteran who marched and fought with him, he would definitely not punish him.

"The old minister understands that the old minister is reckless, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Wang Jian nodded again and again, and at the same time secretly marveled in his heart.

His Majesty is so wise, he must have his own reasons for making decisions.

In this case, it's not his turn to point fingers.

"I established the prince Yingyun as the master of the secret, but does anyone think it's wrong?"

After Wang Jian also retreated, Ying Zheng looked at the white officials again and asked in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, the entire court fell silent, and all the officials bowed their heads, acquiescing to Ying Zheng's decision.

It doesn't work if you don't acquiesce, both Li Si and Wang Jian were stunned speechless.

That's the biggest civil servant and the biggest military minister. These two have nothing to say. Aren't the other small officials looking for death?
After just one round, Baiguan adjusted his position.

"Since all the officials have no objections, then we will retreat!"

After seeing that no one spoke anymore, Ying Zheng waved his hand to signal his retreat.

"I'm waiting to send you to Your Majesty!"

"I'm waiting to send you to Your Majesty!"

All the officials saluted together.

"You come with me."

Ying Zheng walked down the hall, and suddenly remembered something, stopped in front of Li Si and gave instructions.

"Yes!"

Li Si didn't dare to delay, he saluted respectfully, and then followed behind Ying Zheng.

"Tomorrow morning, you must let Yun'er come to participate!"

After walking to the bedroom, he made sure that there was no one around, so Ying Zheng gave the order.

"Let the minister go?"

Li Si was taken aback for a moment, and then dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

I am a majestic prime minister with a high position and power, so I want to call a young prince?

And he is still a prince who is very unpopular and has a very bad reputation?
"how?"

Noticing Li Si's displeasure, Ying Zheng frowned and spoke a little harder.

"No, I obey!"

Ying Zheng still grabbed his little braid, so Li Si didn't dare to say anything, so he nodded repeatedly.

······
"Establish me as the Lord of Heaven's Mysteries?"

In the palace, while eating the juicy grapes that Xiao Bai handed over, Ying Yun listened to Xiao Lan talking about what happened in court today.

"Yes, my lord, I heard that the Prime Minister and General Wang immediately stood up to oppose it, but they were all turned back by His Majesty."

Xiaolan was beaming with joy, although she heard it too, but just thinking about that scene made her blood boil.

"Oh? How did you get back?"

Hearing this, Ying Yun was obviously interested, sat up straight, and was ready to listen carefully.

"Is such that······"

Xiaolan told the story of the court that she had heard.

After listening, Ying Yun was slightly taken aback.

How did Qin Dasha notice the problem of the border environment?Didn't he also ignore it before?
Could it be that this guy's reputation as an emperor through the ages is true?
It's not quite right, how can an emperor who poisoned himself to death be so smart as to be an emperor through the ages.

"That's right, you are worthy of being the majestic lord of a country. This vigorous and resolute act is worthy of the title of lord of a country."

After a moment of silence, Ying Yun repeatedly nodded in praise.

This praise is true, even though he didn't see that scene, Ying Yun can still imagine that Ying Zheng's momentum was extraordinary at that time.

Since ancient times, it has been very troublesome for the emperor to face the doubts of the veterans.

Facing those veteran ministers with great military exploits, it is really not an easy task to convince them.

However, this Yingzheng sword took a slant, and let the veteran understand from another angle that he was not enough to give advice. He couldn't help but achieve his goal, and at the same time increased his prestige.

This operation is really clever.

"My lord, after becoming the Master of Mysteries, will you be too busy to spend time with your servants?"

Xiaobai stuffed another grape into Yingyun's mouth and asked with a slightly worried expression.

"It is indeed possible."

Ying Yun nodded, with a playful look on his face, not sure if what he said was true or not.

"That's it."

Hearing this, Xiao Lan also looked slightly disappointed.

"So, you two girls should grow up quickly, and when I am free, I can play with you all day long!"

Ying Yun chuckled.

Hearing this seemingly normal but not quite right words, the two maidservants were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, they both lowered their heads at the same time, their fair little faces blushing.
