Chapter 1135

The Queen of Tu'an came to Xianyang to visit relatives, to visit her daughter Yushu who was married far away to the Qin Guo. This was an understandable thing. Earlier, to entertain the Queen of Tu'an, the Qin Huang even set up a banquet. At the banquet, the Queen of Tu'an's graceful demeanor left an impression on many Qin ministers.

To let mother and daughter be closer, the Qin Huang even allowed them to live in the palace together and let Meng Tian's younger brother Meng Yi guard their safety.

As a result, no one expected that after only one night, such a big thing would happen.

According to the Qin Huang's imperial decree.

The Queen of Tu'an coming to Xianyang to visit relatives was fake; in fact, she had other purposes. She came to Xianyang to conspire with her daughter Yushu to destroy the foundation of the Qin Guo. Only by throwing the Qin Guo into internal chaos could Tu'an benefit from it.

Her conspiracy was exposed by the Qin Huang on the spot. After the matter was revealed, she wanted to imitate Jing Ke in the past and carry out an assassination. In the end, the Lang guard Meng Yi protected the Emperor and stopped the Queen of Tu'an, and Yushu committed suicide because the matter was exposed.

This night, although the Qin Huang lost a favorite concubine.

But he gained a loyal minister.

Because Yi Xiaochuan protected the Emperor, he was rewarded by the Qin Huang and promoted.

Regarding this matter, no minister in the court held an opposing opinion.

Being rewarded for merit is a matter of course.

Compared to Yushu's death and Yi Xiaochuan's promotion, what made many ministers in the court indignant and angry was Tu'an's conspiracy.

"The Qin Guo pitied Tu'an for being a small country, accepted their marriage alliance, and gave them protection so they would no longer be invaded by barbarians and the Xiongnu. As a result, Tu'an didn't think of repaying, but actually wanted to harm the foundation of the Qin Guo."

"I come to ask for battle, I am willing to lead an army to destroy Tu'an!"

In the court, a general stepped forward and took the initiative to ask for battle.

His name was Li You, the son of Li Si, but he didn't become a civil official like his father Li Si, but chose to join the army and was now a military general.

Li You's request for battle immediately caused a lot of discussion among many ministers, further inciting the anger of the civil and military ministers in the court toward Tu'an.

A smile appeared on the corner of Prime Minister Li Si's mouth.

Li You's request for battle was exactly what he had instructed.

Li You was his son, but not as intelligent as him. Fortunately, he had some minor martial arts. But even so, the Li family was not a military family. As Prime Minister, it was difficult for him to intervene in military affairs. Therefore, it was difficult for Li You to compete with the Meng clan and Wang clan in the army and get promoted.

After the Wang clan retired, the Meng clan became the new nobles in the court.

Unfortunately, Meng Tian supported Fu Su, while he supported Hu Hai.

The Meng clan was destined to be his opponent.

To counter the Meng clan, he could only find ways to push his son up.

Tu'an was a small country with weak national strength, but it was a country after all. This time Li You asked for battle. If he could destroy Tu'an, this would be the merit of destroying a country, which would make Li You's resume look exceptionally good.

Li Si had served Seeing Ying Zheng for many years. Based on his understanding of Seeing Ying Zheng, he firmly believed that Seeing Ying Zheng would agree to Li You's request for battle.

Not only because Li You was the first person to ask for battle, but also because of the need for power balance.

After the Wang clan, Meng Tian was now known as the number one general of the Qin Guo. The reputation of the Meng clan was unparalleled, and he even found his younger brother Meng Yi. Meng Yi was not a simple character either.

The power of the Meng clan now exceeded Seeing Ying Zheng's imagination.

In the past, the Wang clan was too prominent, so Seeing Ying Zheng supported the Meng clan to achieve balance. Now, the Meng clan had risen, and for the sake of power balance, Seeing Ying Zheng supporting new nobles was a matter of course.

Li You's request for battle was taking the initiative to send the knife to Seeing Ying Zheng's hand.

After Li You, Wang Ben's son Wang Li also asked for battle, and even Meng Tian took the initiative to ask for battle.

But in Li Si's view, the person Seeing Ying Zheng was most likely to choose was Li You, not Wang Ben from the Wang clan or Meng Tian from the Meng clan.

As a result, Seeing Ying Zheng's choice surprised Li Si.

He didn't respond to Li You, nor did he pay attention to Wang Li or Meng Tian, but looked at Meng Yi, who was Yi Xiaochuan, in the court.

"Meng Yi!"

Seeing Ying Zheng said indifferently.

Although Yi Xiaochuan had known about this for a long time and his expression was a bit complex, he still stepped forward and took the initiative to salute Seeing Ying Zheng, "I am here!"

0 ········Begging for flowers···· ····

Seeing Ying Zheng said indifferently, "Last night, it was you who sacrificed yourself to protect the Emperor, which stopped Tu'an's conspiracy. You are a member of the Meng clan. I know you are capable in both civil and military affairs, wise and brave. Keeping you in the palace as a Lang guard is truly a waste of talent. This time, you will serve as the commander-in-chief and lead an army to destroy Tu'an!"

"I... obey!"

Yi Xiaochuan responded to Seeing Ying Zheng in a complex tone.

Seeing Ying Zheng appointed Yi Xiaochuan as the commander-in-chief and let him lead an army to attack Tu'an.

Many people were stunned.

Meng Tian was stunned because he knew what Tu'an meant to Yi Xiaochuan. At the same time, the events of last night reached his ears, and he was also very painful. In the final analysis, he also liked Yushu.

0

It was precisely because he liked Yushu that he could understand Yi Xiaochuan's pain.

Yushu died, and after experiencing such a painful thing, he was actually asked to destroy Tu'an, the country his beloved cared about most.

"Meng Yi..."

Meng Tian whispered in his heart, unable to help wanting to step forward to comfort Yi Xiaochuan.

Li Si was stunned because Seeing Ying Zheng didn't play by the rules and didn't choose Li You.

Li You didn't think as much as his father. After being stunned for a while, he only felt some disappointment.

After the people in the court were stunned by Seeing Ying Zheng's choice one after another, Seeing Ying Zheng appointed another deputy general.

The candidate for deputy general was actually Wang Li.

Wang Ben's son, a descendant of the Wang clan.

Seeing Ying Zheng did indeed play the balance of power, but this balance was carried out between the Wang clan and the Meng clan.

As for Li You, who was he?

If this appointment of the commander-in-chief for destroying Tu'an was just a beginning.

What truly shocked many ministers in the court was Seeing Ying Zheng's next imperial decree.

Seeing Ying Zheng stated that Young Master Fu Su had literary talent but lacked military strategy. This time, Qin would destroy Tu'an, and he planned for Young Master Fu Su to be the army supervisor and go to war with the army.

No one expected that at this time, Seeing Ying Zheng would actually let the eldest son Fu Su leave Xianyang and participate in the war of destroying Tu'an.
