Chapter 35: Ying Zheng was confused. Why did Zhao suddenly send an envoy to ask for peace?
If his son had not just broken through to the land immortal realm, he might have been killed that time!

"Your Majesty, what the Minister of Justice said is very true!"

"All nations have long been afraid of our Great Qin. They must want to use the assassination of the king to cause civil unrest and prevent our Qin from expanding eastward!"

Wang Wan nodded in agreement, believing that this was a long-planned assassination attempt.

Once bitten by a snake, the fear will linger for ten years. Their worries are not unreasonable.

Who could have expected that after conquering the State of Yan, Ying Ziye would turn his attention to the State of Zhao?

"snort!"

"I want to see what they are capable of!"

"Send an order to summon them to the Zhangtai Palace for an interview!"

With the precautions in place, Ying Zheng showed no fear and was ready to witness Zhao's tricks with his own eyes.

"Yes!"

Meng Yi stood up and accepted the order, and immediately set about strengthening the security of the palace.

The last time Jing Ke attempted assassination, the commander of the palace guards was killed, which gave him the opportunity to take this position.

The safety of the palace cannot be neglected in the slightest!
About half an hour later.

The civil and military officials of Qin State gathered in the main hall of Zhangtai Palace. Ying Zheng sat majestically on the throne, with the Sword Saint Gai Nie and Zhao Gao standing on both sides.

On both sides of the hall, the Dragon and Tiger Guards stood majestically, and in the dark, a large number of Shadow Guards were lurking, keeping a tight watch.

"Announce! The envoy of Zhao State is here to see you!"

Zhao Gao stepped onto the stairs, and his sharp voice echoed outside the hall.

When Prince Cong, the Zhao envoy who was waiting outside, heard Zhao Gao's announcement, he immediately walked into the main hall of Zhangtai Palace impatiently and knelt on his knees.

"Zhao Cong, the envoy of the State of Zhao, pays respect to the King of Qin!"

"The State of Zhao is willing to cede 100 cities, offer a million taels of gold, a thousand boxes of treasures, and a million dan of grain."

"From now on, our Zhao State will submit to Qin and become a vassal state!"

"Please ask the King of Qin to order the troops to withdraw!"

Young Master Cong was in tears and talking incessantly.

This scene left Ying Zheng and all the Qin ministers stunned and shocked!

this.
What on earth is going on!

All the ministers looked at Ying Zheng, wondering whether he had secretly ordered an attack on Zhao.

However.
Ying Zheng was also confused!

It seems that the envoy from Zhao State really came to seek peace.

"Messenger of Zhao, please stop teasing me!"

"I have not ordered an attack on Zhao, so why are you asking for peace?"

Ying Zheng questioned unhappily, believing that Zhao Cong was teasing him.

"Report to the King of Qin, although you have not ordered the Qin army to go to war, the second prince Ying Ziye has led his troops from Yan State to invade our Zhao State!"

"Now, they are about to arrive at the gates of Handan!"

"Your Majesty, please order the Second Prince Ying Ziye to withdraw his troops immediately!"

"Otherwise, our Zhao State will be destroyed!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, and their hearts were filled with shock!
God!

Completely confused!

At this moment, they finally understood what had happened and why Gongzi Cong was so anxious.

Oh my god—

this.
Absolutely ridiculous!
Ying Zheng remembered that it seemed that less than half a month had passed since the conquest of the State of Yan, and Ying Ziye had actually launched an attack on the State of Zhao right after that, and was about to win!
This is outrageous!
“Hahaha! Wonderful!”

"My son Ye is as brave as a god of war, and he is indeed the Wu'an Jun of our Great Qin!"

The surprise was like a sudden spring rain, catching everyone off guard. Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh out loud and praised Ying Ziye highly.

In Ying Zheng's heart, Ying Ziye is like the Bai Qi of the modern era!

The title of Wu'an Jun belongs to him alone! That is a glory that can only be matched by an invincible general with outstanding military achievements.

Li Mu of Zhao, Bai Qi of Qin, Xiang Yan of Chu, and Su Qin, they are all like gods of war!

In the long history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, only these four people were able to be given the title of Wu'an Jun, no one can match them!

From this we can see how high Ying Ziye's status in Ying Zheng's heart has risen.

“Your Majesty.”

"The Zhao Kingdom is sincere, but my king was deceived by a villain and seized ten cities from the Yan Kingdom. He will go to Xianyang to apologize to the King of Qin."

"I hope the king will order the Second Prince Ying Ziye to withdraw his troops."

Ying Zheng's laughter caused panic in Gongzi Cong's heart, and he quickly begged Ying Zheng to take back his order.

Damn
Looking at Prince Cong and the State of Zhao's servility, Ying Zheng and the ministers of Qin were almost speechless with astonishment.

There were only ten cities, but Ying Ziye decisively sent troops to attack Zhao. This was really too impulsive!
"Your Majesty, Qin and Zhao have always been on good terms, and Zhao has shown its sincerity. Why not order the Second Prince to withdraw his troops?"

"Besides, the Yan Kingdom has just been destroyed, and we need the second prince to stay and stabilize it."

Chunyu Yue stood up and gave advice to Ying Zheng.

As the representative of Confucianism in the Qin court and a retainer of the eldest prince Fusu, he could not sit idly by and watch Ying Ziye achieve great achievements.

The demise of the State of Yan was already an astonishing achievement. If it could destroy the State of Zhao as well, no one would be able to shake its position!
The eldest son will only be the eldest son, and this insignificant advantage will disappear.

As soon as Chunyu Yue opened his mouth, many Confucian ministers agreed.

Although Zhao Gao was beside Ying Zheng and was anxious, as a eunuch he had no right to speak in the court.

"My king, do not withdraw your troops!"

"The Second Prince is extremely brave and is only one step away from destroying Zhao!"

"Swallow Yan and destroy Zhao, our Great Qin will occupy half of the country and unify the six kingdoms in no time!"

Li Si immediately stood up to refute, fearing that Ying Zheng would impulsively adopt Chunyu Yue's suggestion.

At this time, Li Si had not yet leaned towards Hu Hai, and only wanted to help Ying Zheng achieve the great cause of unifying the world.

As soon as Li Si spoke, many ministers echoed him.

The argument between the two sides escalated instantly, causing Gongzi Cong on the side to become flustered and extremely anxious.

This dispute concerns the life and death of Zhao State!

"Report——"

"Your Majesty!"

"General Wang Jian sent an envoy to deliver an urgent battle report from eight hundred miles away!"

In an instant, the noise in the court came to an abrupt end, and everyone's eyes were directed outside the hall!
despair!despair!despair!
The messenger scout quickly stepped into the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, his face filled with uncontrollable excitement!
Seeing the scout's expression, Ying Zheng and the Qin ministers already understood.

There is no doubt that this is good news!
“Greetings, Great King!”

"I am ordered by General Wang Jian to present the battle report!"

The messenger scout knelt on one knee respectfully, holding high in both hands the bamboo slips filled with battle information.

"Chun Yuyue, come and read it to everyone!"

Ying Zheng glanced at Chunyu Yue, who had just proposed to withdraw troops, and signaled him to read the battle report aloud.

snort~
Seeing this scene, Li Si almost laughed out loud.

He was very familiar with this scene.

Last time, because Ying Ziye had not sent any battle reports to Xianyang for seven consecutive days, he speculated that Ying Ziye might be in danger and suggested that Ying Zheng send troops to rescue him.

However, the subsequent battle report slapped him hard in the face.

This time, the king might embarrass Chunyu Yue again!

Your Majesty is ambitious and wants to unify the world. How could the King agree to retreat when the State of Zhao is about to be destroyed?
"Yes!"

Although Chunyu Yue was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree as the king's order must be obeyed.

I took the bamboo slips, unfolded them and took a closer look. The contents jumped into my eyes.
Chunyu Yue's pupils suddenly dilated, his throat surged, and he swallowed hard. The shock in his heart was as severe as an earthquake!
pat-

The bamboo slips fell quietly to the ground!
