"I am the envoy of the Dynasty on which the Sun Never Sets. I am just a small fourth-level empire. I have waited for several years. Is this contempt for the Dynasty on which the Sun Never Sets?" The envoy of the Dynasty on which the Sun Never Sets was furious. He could no longer bear it.
He roared loudly at Zhuge Liang and others.
Zhuge Liang's expression remained normal, but Sima Yi and several other ministers suddenly had ugly expressions on their faces, but they could not get angry.
Zhuge Liang showed a smile on his face, and an exquisite jade box appeared out of thin air in his hand. He said to the ambassador of the Sun Never Sets Dynasty: "Your Majesty, please calm down. My Majesty, the Emperor of the Qin Empire, is in retreat. Ambassador, look..."
Seeing the exquisite jade box in Zhuge Liang's hand, the expression of the ambassador of the Sun Never Sets Dynasty softened. He took the jade box calmly, and then said: "Alas! Prime Minister Zhuge, unless I am being aggressive, you also know that I am just following orders.
But I have a good rapport with Prime Minister Zhuge, so whatever, I will send a summons to return to China and try to postpone it for one year!"
Although Zhuge Liang was slandering and scorning in his heart, he still said with gratitude on his face: "Then it's my job."
After a lot of rambling, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others returned to Xianyang Palace and the Yizheng Hall.
"Bah, what the hell? You look like a villain and are greedy." Sima Yi suppressed his anger and immediately vented his anger when he came to the political hall.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and persuaded: "Sir Ma, if you invest in the early stage, you will get back double the amount later!"
"Alas! Just procrastinating like this is not the answer! There has been no news from His Majesty so far, which is really troublesome." Cheng Fan Zeng, the censor, sighed.
"Submission is absolutely impossible, but His Majesty is not here. Once a conflict occurs, the war will start, which will be detrimental to the Qin Dynasty." Han Xin also frowned. As a captain of the Qin Kingdom, he has the power to mobilize the world's troops to defend and counterattack, but
Without His Majesty's holy instructions, he would not even have the authority to command a single soldier to attack.
In other words, if there is a rebellion in the Qin Empire or encounters an invasion by an enemy country, once the emperor is away, the country's captain can mobilize the troops of the world to extinguish the rebel forces and resist the invasion of the enemy country. But he does not have the power to launch a war. And in peacetime, the country's
The lieutenant only held the position of San Gong and had no real power.
However, the status of a state lieutenant lies there. Once there is a war, he is the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. He can command and dispatch any legion, except for the Black Nightmare and Hongmeng legion who are directly under the command of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Your Excellency, what you said makes sense, so I'll delay it as much as possible until His Majesty returns to the palace to make a decision." Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed with Han Xin's words.
After all, if a war breaks out without His Majesty, the power of the Qin Empire cannot be fully unleashed. No one has as much influence and appeal as His Majesty, not even Han Xin who boasts of his military exploits.
"What matters must wait for me to decide?" Ying Zheng's figure appeared directly on the emperor's throne in the Council Hall and asked Zhuge Liang.
"See Your Majesty." Several people were surprised at first, and then immediately responded and bowed.
"Excuse me! Prime Minister Zhuge, tell me what happened? It made several pillars of the empire helpless?" Ying Zheng said to Zhuge Liang with a smile on his face.
"Replying to your majesty, the imperial envoy will never set." Zhuge Liang said respectfully.
"The sun never sets, an envoy from the Dynasty?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows. He had known that this day would come, but he never thought it would come so soon.
The Hongmeng Legion of the Great Qin Empire was formed with 300,000 cultivators in the Endless Destruction Realm, but Ying Zheng knew that this was not many, and each of the three dynasties should have more than this.
The only advantage of the Great Qin Empire is the peak power of the five great leaders that surpass the first level of the universe. In addition, he himself can barely count, and the Great Qin Empire has six peak powerhouses.
He didn't know if the three major dynasties had such peak powerhouses for countless years, but Ying Zheng knew that even if there were, they would definitely be rare.
In terms of the comparison between the foundation and the strength of the country, Ying Zheng knew that the Qin Empire was simply an ant compared to an elephant.
The Qin Empire has made great progress in the past few hundred years, and many people have reached the ninth level of the soul. However, except for Ying Zheng, no one has broken through to the advanced level of immortality.
Without the power of Hongmeng Realm and relying solely on Ying Zheng himself, the Great Qin Empire would never be as large as it is now.
The average strength of the Black Nightmare Army is only the fifth level of the Divine Soul. Apart from the power of the Hongmeng Realm, it can be said that the real strength of the Great Qin Empire is not as good as a fourth-level empire, and can only be regarded as a powerful third-level empire.
Now the Great Qin Empire has conquered many territories and has become a fourth-level empire, but the Hongmeng Legion has not really come forward and is not known to outsiders.
Ying Zheng roughly thought of the purpose of the Sun Never Sets Dynasty, and he continued: "Are you coming to Zhao'an?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhuge Liang complimented.
"What do you think?" Ying Zheng's face was neither sad nor happy, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.
"I wonder what your Majesty means?" Fan Zeng was originally there, but when he heard Ying Zheng's urging, he wanted to test His Majesty's tone.
"I want to hear your opinions!" Ying Zheng was speechless at Fan Zeng's tact. He stared at him and spoke word by word.
Several people fell into deep thought and began to weigh the pros and cons and speculate on the holy will.
Several people secretly glanced at the expressionless Ying Zheng, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts. After all, the power of God is unpredictable.
After a long time, Ying Zheng frowned and looked at the few people who were still thinking deeply. He knew the scruples of these people, and most ministers were like this.
Ying Zheng had long been used to it. He broke the silence and said: "Everyone expresses his or her own opinion. Don't worry too much. I just want to hear your opinions. After all, this matter is not trivial."
"Reporting to your majesty, how can I, the great Qin Dynasty, be reduced to a vassal of another country? But the battle will be bloody, and the outcome is uncertain. This matter is related to the national destiny of the Qin Empire, and the peace between the ministers and the lords. In ancient times, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, lay down his fuel and tasted his courage.
The territory of the Qin Empire has expanded tens of thousands of times in just a few hundred years. It is really not appropriate to start a war lightly, but to hide one's strength, bide one's time and take action at the right time." Cheng Fan Zeng, the censor, was the first to express his views.
When Han Xin saw his wife's grandfather's proposal, he felt that it was reasonable and immediately seconded: "I agree."
Ying Zheng glanced at Han Xin, nodded, and then asked: "What do the censor and the prime minister think?"
There were many reasons why Ying Zheng took away Han Xin's military power and made him serve as a lieutenant.
As Fan Zeng's status in the court rose, Han Xin's prestige in the army soon surpassed that of Meng Tian and Wang Ben.
Although he believed that Han Xin and Fan Zeng would not betray the Qin Empire, he still believed that taking precautions before it happened was what every emperor must do.
Therefore, surrendering openly and covertly is undoubtedly the most commonly used and most effective method. Moreover, Han Xin's talent can also be brought into full play in the rank of Lieutenant. He commanded the world's troops during war, but in his spare time he only held the title of Three Dukes and Lieutenant. What's the use of it?
Not for.
Ying Zheng didn't think much about Han Xin's second proposal. He was a talented general, but he was not very proficient in national affairs. (To be continued...)
