Daqin: Zulong Asked Me to Be the Prince

Under the service of the palace maid, Ying Zheng finished washing up, and his breakfast was already served.

Delicate food, still steaming.

However, after Ying Zheng opened it, he showed disgust.

"It's this one again! The widow doesn't want to eat it!"

He ordered,

"withdraw!"

Seeing that the King of Qin was angry, all the people in the palace maid temple knelt down in fear, at a loss for what to do.

Only Zhao Gao stood up and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, if you don't want to eat these ordinary foods, I will ask the people in the imperial kitchen to make them again."

"Exactly, I entered the palace and entered a batch of rare treasures from the Western Regions. There is a good bear paw. Why not change the taste, how about eating a bear paw?"

I have to say that Zhao Gao knows how to serve people.

He was able to serve the King of Qin closely, and he was always on the left and right, and it was this thoughtfulness that he relied on.

However, today's Ying Zheng doesn't like his tricks anymore.

"Bear paw orangutan lips, greasy!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand impatiently,

"go!"

"Bring me a bowl of Huo Cai Dumpling Soup for the widow!"

Zhao Gao was taken aback: "Ah? Huo Cai?"

He couldn't believe his ears a little.

Of course he knew about Huocai, but it was an ordinary food that was pure and bitter, and would never be included in the imperial recipe!

Because it's so cheap!

"You're deaf? Do you need to repeat it a second time?" Ying Zheng said coldly.

"Wei! This minister will do it now!"

Zhao Gao was shocked and hurriedly went down to handle it.

But at the same time, he also had a huge doubt in his heart - so good, why did King Qin suddenly want to eat cabbage lumps?

...

In Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng sat in front of the desk, waiting for breakfast while reviewing the memorial.

"Your Majesty, this is a dispatch from Chu Di this morning."

A temple person respectfully presented the bamboo tube.

wow.

Ying Zheng opened the bamboo tube, just glanced at it, and then frowned.

"Haha, what a country of Chu!"

"Go, call Wang Jian to the widow!"

He snorted coldly.

"Wei!" The temple man took the order and turned around quickly.

"Hold on."

Ying Zheng thought for a while, and then said,

"Call Li Xin too!"

...

Inside the main hall, two generals, one old and one young, saluted, and they were silent.

The old man, despite his old age, was still splendid, with white hair and white beard still full of energy and sharp eyes.

And the young man was sharp-edged and full of vigor.

These two are the general Wang Jian and the young general Li Xin!

In front of them, Ying Zheng shook his head and said to himself:

"Almost mean."

"Without that brown sugar glutinous rice cake to neutralize it, it is indeed too bitter and not tasty enough."

"belch……"

Having said that, he still hiccupped.

Since he ate a cup of brown sugar ginger tea yesterday, his appetite has greatly improved. Originally he could only eat half a bowl, but today he ate an unprecedented large bowl!

As a result, the palace began to spread secretly - Qin Wang likes huocai, and cooking is added.

pat!

Ying Zheng threw the bamboo tube in his hand on the ground and said casually:

"Look at it all!"

When two generals, one old and one young, heard the words, they dared to raise their heads and read the contents on it together.

On it was written: Chu State has betrayed its agreement with Qin State, and the land west of Qingyang, which was to be ceded, turned back on it!

The lord of the land, the Qu family, even killed the Qin officials who were going to reclaim the land! He even led his troops to almost destroy a city in the southern county of Qin!

This definitely slapped Qin in the face, and even more so, Ying Zheng's face!

"In the beginning, when Qin broke Wei, I could have attacked Chu easily, but the king of Chu took the initiative to ask the widow for peace and ceded the land, and the widow agreed to his request, but now, the Qu family dares to kill Qin officials and attack the city of Qin. !"

Ying Zheng wiped his mouth and said lightly,

"Is it a fool to be a widow, and is it made of mud? If you are really the Qin state, can't you destroy his eight hundred years of Chu society?"

"What do the Erqings think of Chu's shameless behavior?!"

When the question was thrown, Ying Zheng had already made a decision in his heart.

But he still wanted to hear their opinions.

"The state of Chu broke the promise, bullied me, Da Qin, and cut it down!"

Young Li Xin got up and saluted, and said first,

"Your Majesty, the last commander is incompetent, I would like to lead the troops to attack Chu, step on the soil of Chu State, and capture the King of Chu alive and take him to the front of the King!"

As the most handsome boy in the imperial army's young warriors, Li Xin has been very beautiful in recent years.

In the battle of destroying Yan, Li Xin personally led thousands of chariots and chariots to hunt down the fleeing King Yan and Prince Dan of Yan. !

From this, he became famous in battle!

On the one hand, Ying Zheng admired his ability, but also out of balance considerations, in order to suppress the limelight of Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son's repeated extermination of the country, he increasingly believed in Li Xin, and wanted him to master the army and compete with Wang Jian.

Li Xin also knew that he was able to come here today, which means that in the eyes of the king, he is capable of leading the army!

That being the case, the opportunity must be seized!

Ying Zheng looked at the young general, smiled slightly, and turned to Wang Jian.

"What does General Wang think?" he asked again.

After Wang Jian was called, he got up and cupped his hands in a deep voice:

"As General Li said, Chu State has betrayed the covenant and killed the envoy sent by our Qin State. This is an insult."

"The old minister also advocates attacking him, but the old minister also heard that the Qu family disobeyed the order of the king of Chu, made an assertion without authorization, and was bold."

"Therefore, the old minister asked the king to attack the Qu clan first, punish him, and let the state of Chu re-spawn the land.

Wang Jian is worthy of being Wang Jian, and his words can be said to be as stable as an old dog, unable to pick out the slightest fault.

However, Ying Zheng sneered.

"General Wang, if someone offends the king, what crime should he be punished for? How should he be punished?" he asked.

"Returning to the king, those who offend the king will be punished for the crime of deceiving the king, and they should be beheaded and abandoned." Wang Jian sighed slightly in his heart and responded.

He already knew what the King of Qin was thinking.

"Of course! Whoever offends the king should be beheaded! Is it as simple as cutting off the hands and feet of the state of Chu when it offends the state of Qin?"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly and waved,

"The decision of a few people! Qin State cannot be humiliated! Send troops to attack Chu and destroy Chu State's government!"

"Which general is willing to bind the descendants of Gaoyang before the widow's car?"

The descendants of Emperor Gaoyang naturally refer to the king of Chu, and all the nobles of Chu!

"The end will be willing to go!"

Li Xin stood up resolutely and said.

"Okay!" Ying Zheng looked at Li Xin and praised, "Young man!"

"General Wang, all the young people have expressed their opinions. As the first general of Daqin, are you reluctant to speak?" He turned to look at Wang Jian and said with a smile.

Wang Jian sighed in his heart and said:

"The last general is also willing to lead troops to attack Chu."

"It's just that the country of Chu is three thousand miles long and wide, and it requires a huge amount of troops and food and grass. It needs to mobilize the power of the whole country to break it."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

"How many troops do you need?"

"It must be 600,000." Wang Jian said calmly, "600,000 Qin soldiers, 400,000 people's husbands, and millions of people, the old ministers can defeat Chu!"

Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but sneer.

"The old general is too prudent!"

He said loudly towards Ying Zheng,

"Although the country of Chu is vast, its interior is weak and weak. Neither the army nor the court is the enemy of our Qin Dynasty!"

"The area is spacious, and it is also a good place to ride!"

This is to remind the King of Qin that Li Xin is a good player in commanding chariots and cavalry!

"Oh? General Li has a different opinion?"

Ying Zheng stared at Li Xin and smiled,

"If you lead troops, how many troops do you need?"

Li Xin glanced at Wang Jian who was bowing his head beside him, his heart was beating rapidly, and he blurted out:

"Your Majesty, the last commander only needs 200,000 soldiers and 150,000 people to destroy Chu in one fell swoop and bring the King of Chu before my king!"*
