This small episode did not affect Emperor Qin for long, and the issue of "who is handsome" continued.
As the prime minister, Li Si had to be the first to stand up and said: "Wei Chen is willing to share your Majesty's worries, but Wei Chen's strength is limited and he is really no match for Wei Yang."
"The death of a minor minister is a small matter, but I am afraid that it will ruin your majesty's important affairs. If your majesty loses face because of this, it will be difficult for me to atone for my sin even if I die ten thousand times."
Wuchenghou Wang Jian followed up and said: "The Prime Minister's words are wrong. If according to what you say, there is someone who has the strength to capture Wei Yang back alive. Apart from Your Majesty, I am afraid there will be no other person in the world."
Wei Liao nodded and agreed: "Even Gongsun Qi's killer embryo can only fight to a draw with Wei Yang at most, and Wu Chenghou is probably not bad either. When he was still in the Grandmaster realm, he killed someone who was also at the top of the Grandmaster realm.
Xiang Yan."
Wang Jian shook his head and said: "The lieutenant is joking. Among the people, only you and Wei Yang are at the intermediate level of the Divine Soul Realm. Gongsun Qi and I are only at the lower level of the Divine Soul Realm. It's just that Gongsun Qi entered the Tao through killing, and his combat power is much higher than
Only those of the same level can fight across levels."
"If you want to say that those who can fight Wei Yang, the first two are you and Gongsun Qi. I'm afraid the Taiwei is more suitable to be the commander-in-chief of this expedition."
Meng Ao said: "Besides, as the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses, the Taiwei leads troops to fight, which is justified." When he said this, there was something else.
Wei Liao's face remained unchanged and he said: "According to this, wouldn't it be more suitable for the prime minister to be the head of the officials?" There was a bit of disdain in his words.
In fact, in the eyes of other princes, Li Si is not qualified to be the prime minister, because he is only a seventh-grade grandmaster, not as good as Lu Chunqiu, who is at the peak of the middle-level eighth-grade soul realm. It is also difficult to rely on the title of the head of hundreds of officials.
Convince everyone.
Furthermore, Li Si flattered Emperor Qin more than Lu Chunqiu. This matter has become irremediable. In the eyes of Wei Liao and others, Li Si must bear at least half of the responsibility.
Sure enough, Wang Jian agreed: "Yes, the Prime Minister's name change is justifiable. If the strength is not enough, we will send more troops. There are still 300,000 good men in the Western Region Protectorate, and the Prime Minister can choose as he chooses."
Meng Ao followed up and said: "Wu Chenghou has said so. I can't be too stingy. There are a total of 400,000 soldiers in the Northern Governor's Mansion. The Prime Minister can just ask."
Li Si's face looked a little ugly. He was not a fool. He suddenly felt that he was being jointly targeted.
However, Li Si was not someone who was easy to bully. He saluted Emperor Qin directly and said, "This is a serious matter. Please give your majesty a final judgment."
The words have the same meaning. What you say doesn't count. Emperor Qin has the final say.
Wang Jian and the others followed and saluted: "Your Majesty, please make a holy judgment."
Emperor Qin glanced at the four of them coldly. How could they hide their little thoughts from him? In the end, no one wanted to go.
The hall fell into silence for a moment.
After a long time, Emperor Qin said calmly: "If someone can put down this rebellion for me, I can promise a hereditary and irreplaceable title."
The four of them were shocked when they heard this. A hereditary title? You must know that even if they had made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty and were granted the title of marquis, their title would not be considered a hereditary title.
After one's death, the title will be passed on to descendants in a descending manner. If the descendants fail to live up to the expectations, it will become an ordinary meritorious service after at most five generations.
Seeing the unclear expressions on the four people's faces, Emperor Qin sneered in his heart and continued: "No matter who it is, you can choose your soldiers and horses. As long as this rebellion is put down, I will fulfill my promise."
"Zhao Gao, prepare a decree for me and tell it to the world. I don't believe it. There is no one in the world who is brave enough."
…
In the Lin Mansion, Hu Hai told Lin Ze in detail what he saw and heard in the palace. After hearing this, Lin Ze fell into deep thought.
After a while, Lin Ze raised his head and said, "Master, do you dare to give it a try?"
Hu Hai replied with a confused look on his face: "Lin Ze, what are you talking about?"
Lin Ze stared at Hu Hai's face and said: "If you dare to fight, then take the initiative to ask Ying to be the commander-in-chief of this counter-rebellion army."
Hu Hai exclaimed: "Lin Ze, are you crazy? Lord Shang is a powerful person in the Soul Realm. No one except my father dares to say that he will win. If you let me go, aren't you going to die?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "Master, don't you think that Shang Jun has a hidden agenda for his rebellion? Maybe he was really framed?"
Then he added in his mind: It was 100% framed by Emperor Qin.
"If Mr. Shang did not rebel at all, then suppressing the rebellion is just a formality. The prince only needs to lead troops to Shangqiu, then send an envoy to make it clear to Mr. Shang face to face, and ask him to follow you back to Chang'an to defend himself, then
The rebellion was easily put down."
Hu Hai thought for a while and said: "Lin Ze, do you think this is good for me?"
Lin Ze nodded: "The benefits are simply immeasurable. If this matter goes well, first of all, the young master's weight in His Majesty's heart will definitely increase, and Fusu will far surpass him."
"Secondly, the hereditary and irreplaceable title is more eye-catching than the young master's current status as an imperial prince. The young master can use his name to open offices and build mansions, and he can legitimately attract followers."
"Thirdly, didn't His Majesty promise that he can choose any troops and horses at will? The young master can choose one hundred thousand guardsmen. It will take at least three months to go back and forth. Couldn't the young master win over some people and form a good relationship? If he can intervene,
If you get one hand in, it may play a key role in the future."
"Fourth, if Mr. Shang can resolve the misunderstanding with His Majesty, then the young master will not be very grateful to Mr. Shang. Why worry that Mr. Shang will not support the young master?"
Hu Hai was a little confused and said, "Is it really that good?"
Lin Ze nodded repeatedly: "Yes." Then he added in his mind: In addition to the fourth point, when Emperor Qin judged Wei Yang as a treasonist, Lin Ze knew that Emperor Qin would not let Wei Yang live.
As I said before, the emperor cannot make mistakes. If this matter is ultimately judged as a misunderstanding, then the majesty of Emperor Qin will be seriously damaged.
However, Hu Hai did this. Although he could not win the support of Wei Yang, he could win the favor of other princes. No matter what the result was, at least Hu Hai had tried hard. Compared with Fusu, who could only talk empty words, it was clear at a glance who was higher or lower.
Finally, Hu Hai said weakly: "What if Mr. Shang really rebelled? Then wouldn't I be dead?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "So I suggest that the envoy come to visit Mr. Shang for an interview first. Any risks should be borne by the envoy. Besides, with Mr. Shang's behavior, even if he doesn't agree, he will not follow the path of an assassin. Back off.
Wan Bu said, even if the young master fails in the conquest, it will not have much impact, after all, the young master is still young."
"Okay, Lin Ze, if I become the commander-in-chief, I will definitely let you be the envoy."
Lin Ze... then gritted his teeth and said: "Serve the young master without hesitation."
Hu Hai immediately smiled and said: "With your words, I can rest assured. I know that you are not a loser."
After a while, Hu Hai suddenly said doubtfully: "Lin Ze, do you think my father will agree to let me go on an expedition?"
Lin Ze nodded and replied: "In terms of status alone, the young master is more than qualified. It depends on how the young master convinces your majesty."
"What do you think I should say?"
"Young master, you can say whatever you want, as long as you emphasize the deep love between father and son and share your father's worries."
Hu Hai said happily: "My young master will enter the palace now and ask for his royal tassel."
After saying that, he took a few guards and headed towards Xianyang Palace.
…
In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Qin's face clearly flashed with a hint of astonishment. He looked at Hu Hai and said, "Do you really want to be the commander-in-chief of this conquest?"
Hu Hai nodded firmly: "My son is willing to take care of my father's worries, and I ask my father to do it."
Emperor Qin was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Haha, he is indeed my son, he has a bit of my spirit. I'm sure, you go back and make preparations, choose a good time and auspicious day, and sacrifice to heaven to go on the expedition."
