Chapter 9 The order from the ancestral temple!
"good."
Ying Ji laughed loudly on the throne.
But then.
But his eyes became extremely cold, exuding an oppressive kingly aura.
"Emperor Zhou."
"The Kingdom of Zhou."
"There is no need to exist."
Ying Ji said coldly.
He wanted to let Meng Ao lead his cavalry to defeat the Kingdom of Zhou.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"After all, the Zhou Kingdom was once the suzerain state of the world. If we directly crush it with iron cavalry, it may fall into the hands of other countries. In the future, these countries will use the so-called revenge of the emperor to launch troops against us, the Qin Dynasty. This is not a good thing."
"Although I, the Qin Dynasty, have nothing to fear, we must allow the Kingdom of Zhou to be destroyed in a dignified manner."
"Only in this way can we, Da Qin, relieve our worries about the future."
Lu Buwei, who was the minister at the time, stood up and started playing loudly.
Hear this!
All the officials in the court nodded in unison.
After all, Lu Buwei was right.
Although the Zhou State was weak, it was still the nominal suzerainty of all the states. If it directly sent troops to crush it, this might not be a good thing for the Qin Dynasty.
"In your opinion, what should I do?" Ying Ji looked at Lu Buwei and asked.
"Return to the king."
"Although I, the Qin cavalry, cannot directly attack Luoyi and destroy Zhou."
"But the state of Zhou should not survive,"
"I propose that we send envoys to the State of Zhou to force the State of Zhou to cede all fifty-eight cities under its rule to our great Qin." Lu Buwei replied loudly.
"There are fifty-eight cities in the Zhou Kingdom. After the cession, the Zhou Kingdom will no longer exist."
"good."
Ying Ji nodded.
"Who do you think can take on the important task of being an envoy?" Ying Ji asked again.
"After all, this is the Kingdom of Zhou, and our great Qin needs to send royal envoys."
"Use the army to intimidate, and use the Zhou royal family's ancestral temple and the Zhou emperor as hostages. If they are unwilling to cede, they will destroy the Zhou kingdom." Lu Buwei said immediately.
Seeing Lu Buwei talking so eloquently, Ying Ji was a little surprised in his eyes.
"Zhu'er." Ying Ji looked at Prince Ying Zhu standing on the stairs.
"My son is here." Ying Zhu responded immediately.
"The mission of being an envoy is left to you." Ying Ji said immediately.
Hear this.
Ying Zhu's expression changed, but he still respectfully accepted the order: "My son, I accept the edict."
"Your Majesty."
"The prince has been feeling unwell for a long time. It's a long way to negotiate with the Kingdom of Zhou. I'm afraid the prince's health will be damaged."
"Since ancient times, father and son have been of the same mind."
"I propose that the heir should go on behalf of the father." Lu Buwei said again.
Ying Ji glanced at the sickly Ying Zhu and nodded: "That's fine."
"Great King Shengming."
All civil and military officials in the court shouted loudly.
"Zi Chu." Ying Ji said immediately.
"Sun Chen is here."
Ying Zichu stood up slowly, looking excited.
"Just go to Zhou Kingdom for your father."
"I only have one request, Zhou Bucun."
"If the Emperor of Zhou is willing to cede the city and I keep his ancestral temple intact and his bloodline alive, the Emperor of Zhou can still live in Luoyi."
"besides."
"By the way, I will bring your young son back from Zhao Kingdom."
"Since we, the Qin State, have already mobilized our troops, we will continue to do so until the end. If the State of Zhao is unwilling to hand over its troops, our great Qin warriors will turn around and attack Zhao State."
"all in all."
"The millions of warriors of Great Qin are your backing." Ying Ji ordered to Ying Zichu.
"Sun Chen will never betray your Majesty's trust." Ying Zichu bowed immediately.
"Yes." Ying Ji nodded and said no more.
He is now old.
Being able to destroy the Zhou Kingdom before dying can be regarded as fulfilling a great wish.
At this moment.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see you."
A loud shout sounded outside the hall.
Hear the words.
Everyone in the hall looked over.
Even Ying Ji had a bit of surprise in his eyes. Among the nine ministers of the Qin Dynasty, Zong Zheng, who is responsible for sacrifices, is the most special, because they do not need to go to court, and will only enter the palace if it is related to the ancestral temple. Zong Zheng's identity is the high priest of the ancestral temple, and he is Zong Zheng in court. High status.
"Xuan."
Ying Ji said immediately without any hesitation.
"The king has an edict."
"Xuanzong is here to see you." The eunuch serving on the side immediately shouted.
Ying Bing, dressed in Da Qin official robes, strode into the main hall.
Although Zongzheng only held the power of sacrifice, he did not control government affairs or military power.
But no one in the entire court dared to look down upon him.
Daqin Ancestral Temple.
This is the most mysterious place in Da Qin.
How did the four great masters of the Great Qin Dynasty break through?
All of them are those who have reached the peak of Grandmaster, and who have established enough military exploits for the Qin Dynasty to be summoned by the ancestral temple. They can enter the ancestral temple and get a chance to break through to the Grandmaster.
Since the founding of the country by the founder Qin Ying, the ancestral temple has existed, and this has been the case for the great masters of all eras in the Qin Dynasty.
certainly.
There is an exception.
That was Bai Qi, who had previously been in charge of the military and served as a national captain. He was summoned by the ancestral temple only after he broke through to the Grand Master.
Therefore.
It is enough to predict how powerful the ancestral temple is.
There are only four grand masters in Da Qin, but almost everyone can guess that there must be powerful grand masters hidden in the ancestral temple.
However, they were not born, just to protect the country.
Ying Bing walked slowly past, and everyone in the civil and military court looked at him slightly and saluted.
"Zong Zheng."
"I wonder what the ancestral temple has ordered?"
Ying Ji asked aloud.
Even if it is him, as the king of Qin.
He also used the word "command".
He still remembered his father and even his eldest brother's explanation when he passed away.
anyway.
In the Qin Dynasty, the ancestral temple came first.
Not only is the ancestral temple's status lofty, but also because the ancestral temple is the true heritage of the Qin Dynasty.
Ying Bing bowed to Ying Ji, and then slowly said: "There is an order from the ancestral temple."
"The Kingdom of Zhou must be destroyed, the seal of the Emperor of Zhou must be transported, and the Nine Cauldrons of China must be transported back to the ancestral temple."
Hear this!
Ying Ji nodded: "I know the order from the ancestral temple."
"That's it, thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Bing bowed respectfully and then slowly retreated.
"Zi Chu."
"Did you hear what Zong Zheng said?" Ying Ji looked at Ying Zichu.
"Sun Chen heard it."
"The seal of Emperor Zhou, the Nine Cauldrons of China."
"Sun Chen will personally escort him back." Ying Zichu said immediately.
"kindness."
"Let's negotiate as soon as possible."
"And Zhao Zheng, the widow's great-grandson."
"Bring it back as soon as possible."
"I'm afraid that if it's later, I won't be able to see him." Ying Ji said with a hint of twilight.
And these words.
The expressions of the ministers in the court changed greatly, and they all bowed: "Your Majesty, you will live forever."
but.
Many courtiers were thinking.
"Who is Zhao Zheng?"
"Is it worthy of the king's attention?"
"The king's great-grandson? Could it be that he is the heir's son?"
"But doesn't the heir only have one son, Master Jiao?"
Suddenly it comes.
The first time Zhao Zheng's name appeared in this court, it naturally aroused a lot of discussion.
but.
Ying Ji didn't care at all.
What he wanted was to see his great-grandson, the little doll in his dream, while he was still alive.
He also felt that he didn't have much time left!
