Chapter 65 Please! The Thirteenth Prince ascends the throne
Ying Heng did not give him a chance to fight back, but summoned Qinglong and signaled him to read out again the crimes of those royal children and the differences between the new and old laws.
"Qinglong, read again the crimes they committed, and how they should be dealt with according to the old laws of our Great Qin, and how the new policies should be decided."
"My grandfather is old and has a poor memory."
Then he ordered: "After reading it, you must write down the contents and post them on their doorsteps so that they will not forget them."
Qinglong came out in response and solemnly repeated the crimes and corresponding punishments of Ying Zixing, Ying Zicheng and others, and then returned to his original position.
At this point, the old royal family member was so angry that his hair and beard were shaking. He pointed at Ying Heng and said sternly: "You are simply a traitor. You betrayed your ancestors and are ungrateful!"
"How could a winner produce an unfilial descendant like you!"
Then he asked: "Where is Fusu? Why doesn't Fusu come to take charge of the situation?"
"And why is the Black Ice Platform still missing?"
He warned Ying Heng sternly: "Xiao Shisan, even if you sit on the throne, without the support of Heibingtai, you cannot be considered the orthodox bloodline of my Ying family royal family!"
However, no matter how he roared, all the civil and military officials in the court just looked at him as if he were a fool and no one paid any attention to him.
In the end, he could only leave angrily, leaving behind a silent hall.
His departure, however, raised a question in Ying Heng's mind.
It has been more than a month since my father passed away. Why has the Black Ice Platform never appeared?
Even though I am not the legitimate heir designated by the will, the situation is now clear. Heibingtai should either stand up and convey my father's will to support Fusu, or he should also take a stand to support himself.
At this moment, the black shadow of the Half-Step Heavenly Man level who had been following him recently suddenly flashed through Ying Heng's mind, and it seemed that some thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, there were still many matters in the court that needed to be decided, so he had to put this doubt aside for the time being.
After the old royal family members left, no one raised any objections to Ying Heng's deployment of troops.
Ying Heng continued to issue orders.
"Qinglong, you will lead the three hundred Jinyiwei to cooperate with General Wang and be responsible for intelligence gathering and the general's safety protection."
"I obey your command!" Qinglong clasped his fists and accepted the order.
"Huo Qubing." Ying Heng named again.
"The general is here!"
Following a loud response, a young general named Huo Qubing, who was only eighteen years old, walked firmly into the court and gave Ying Heng a standard military salute.
When everyone saw this scene, they were filled with confusion. What was the origin of this young man?
He has already served as a general at such a young age, why has the Thirteenth Young Master never been introduced to everyone before?
Just like Dong Zhongshu last time, the talents that Ying Heng discovered from wherever he came from were always superior to other ministers in terms of strength.
Although everyone admired the Thirteenth Young Master's unique vision, they could not help but be amazed at the young Huo Qubing.
Ying Heng ignored everyone's gaze and specially appointed Huo Qubing in the court in order to give him a formal identity and responsibilities.
As for his ability, it will naturally be demonstrated in actual actions.
"Huo Qubing, I allow you to lead 800 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to patrol Jiangnan. You can choose your own route. Your goal is the same as General Wang Ben's, to completely eliminate the remaining rebellious forces in the six countries!"
"The general will obey the order!"
After Huo Qubing finished his ceremony, he stood aside, as still as a rock.
However, at this moment, the old king Wang Ben showed an unhappy look on his face. He stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what is your intention?"
"Now I, the old king, have 5,000 well-equipped cavalry under my command, plus tens of thousands of infantry. Although I dare not say that I can easily conquer a country, but I can easily attack any city in the Qin territory."
"Do I need those two to watch over me when dealing with a few rebels?" "The Azure Dragons are guarding me. That's because you're worried about me, the old king. I understand."
"But this kid doesn't seem to be even older than my daughter. Why should we let him out?"
"And the so-called Great Snow Dragon Riders, with only 800 riders, are they carrying out the same mission as me?"
"Sir, are you saying that a mere 800 of them can be compared with my 30,000 iron-blooded soldiers? Can they perform the same mission?"
"Sir, although I obey your orders, you cannot look down on me like this!"
"Eight hundred against thirty thousand, this is simply an insult to us!"
Although Wang Ben has returned to his country, he is a tough guy at heart and speaks his mind frankly.
In response to Wang Ben's complaints, Ying Heng did not get angry, but responded with a smile.
"Old Wang, you have fought for decades, don't you think you are invincible?"
"I'm letting you lead the troops this time. First, it's a chance for you to make meritorious contributions, and second, it's also to broaden your horizons."
"In this world, there are many powerful forces that you have never seen."
"Just follow the order first. If you have any objections, we will discuss it when you return. There is no need to mention this matter again."
After hearing this, Wang Ben was still dissatisfied in his heart, but he said no more. However, the desire to compete in his heart became even more intense.
You young brat, with 800 cavalrymen, think you can defeat me?
snort!
Afterwards, Ying Heng issued several decrees in succession, such as the Ministry of Commerce taking the lead in allowing the people to sell ice, salt, old grain and farm tools.
The construction of the academy needs to be accelerated urgently because the talents from the Hundred Schools of Thought have not yet arrived and this matter needs to be resolved urgently.
Although the Ministry of Industry is working intensively on research and development and production, it relies entirely on Ying Heng alone to provide innovative results, which is obviously insufficient.
It seems that we have to find a way to dig out the hidden technologies of the Mohist school, especially the little girl from the Mohist school. It’s time to completely win her heart.
No one knows where the gifted person in the farmer's family is hiding her true energy. According to her qualifications, she should have achieved something.
When everything was settled and Ying Zheng was about to announce his retirement, Li Si and Feng Quji suddenly came out together. After paying their respects to Ying Heng, they faced the civil and military officials in the hall.
Li Si said in a serious tone:
"It has been more than a month since the late emperor passed away. Although he did not leave a clear will, but..."
"A country cannot be without a ruler for even a day. Today, under the leadership of the Thirteenth Prince, the national strength of our Great Qin is growing day by day. Civil officials and military generals are showing their strengths, and the national strength of the Great Qin is increasing rapidly at an obvious speed!"
"I believe that the Thirteenth Prince has the talent to be an emperor and should be made the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty."
"What do you think about this?"
In the solemn Xianyang Palace, loud and passionate voices rose one after another.
"I, Prime Minister Feng Quji, second the motion!"
Immediately afterwards, the voices of “I second the motion!” surged like a tide, echoing continuously in the hall.
All the ministers stood up and expressed their agreement with firm eyes and solemn attitudes. Some generals said loudly, "I second this motion!"
"I will second the motion!"
At this moment when everyone was united and excited, a thunderous cheer suddenly broke out.
"Please! The Thirteenth Prince ascends the throne!" The voice shook the entire palace, as if even the towering Xianyang Palace was shaken.
