"Have you read all the good news?"
In the side hall of Xianyang Palace, Emperor Shi Huang sat upright, with a hint of excitement on his expression.
Present here are Wang Jian, Meng Yi, and Fu Su. Except for Li Si who is recuperating from illness, they are all the people he trusts the most.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Daqin has added another weapon for guarding the soil."
"Five members of the Northern Army are enough to fight against the Huns' [-] troops."
"Let's see who dares to go south after eating the bear's heart and leopard courage!"
Meng Yi raised his eyebrows happily.
The chief general of the Northern Army is Meng Tian, and this time his elder brother has made great contributions again!
Although there are not many gains, it cannot hold back the prestige of this battle.
With just five people, they defeated an entire tribe and even captured the leader of the tribe alive.
The prestige of the Qin army soared, and the Huns were terrified.
If His Majesty doesn't reward you generously, it's simply unjustifiable.
Wang Jian twisted his beard and said, "I never imagined that the power of gunpowder is so amazing. Its sound is like thunder. Once it explodes, the fragments will shoot out, and all the people and horses will be reduced to meat. The defeat of the Xiongnu is not unjust."
"Then Yin Zhixie is also a well-known eagle shooter on the grassland. I'm afraid he wouldn't have imagined that he would be defeated by a few soldiers."
As a battle-tested veteran, he was particularly saddened.
Meng Tian described every detail of the battle in detail in the victory report document, and he was full of praise for the power of gunpowder.
In addition, Wang Jian also felt a sense of shock and emotion in the other party's heart.
In fact, the first emperor also said in front of his important ministers that firearms will definitely change the future battlefield.
But no one expected that it would come so fast and so violently.
Among the Xiongnu, there was only one outstanding warrior in about [-] people, who was dubbed the title of "Condor Archer".
The eagle on the grassland flies high and fast, unless it is able to pull a strong bow and has amazing archery skills, it will definitely not get this title.
But when the bamboo tube bomb exploded, even though Yin Zhi was wearing heavy armor, he was still pierced by a bullet in his calf, and a long bloody gash was cut on his neck by bamboo fragments, and he almost lost his life.
Wang Jian asked himself, if he was present, the outcome would never be so good.
In the face of firearms, personal bravery seems to be completely worthless.
Generals and soldiers are all treated the same.
"My son believes that Mr. Chen is the first in this battle."
Fusu pondered for a while, then opened his mouth quietly.
Meng Yi was stunned for a moment, then became anxious immediately.
Chen Qing won the first prize?
Why!
He has never even been to the Northland, so he doesn't necessarily know what the Huns look like.
The Northern Army has been stationed in a bitterly cold place all year round, killing people and killing them, but in the end the credit will be snatched away by others?
"Fusu, why do you think he is the leader?"
Shi Huang smiled imperceptibly.
"General Meng Tian said in the report that he only knew that the power of gunpowder was amazing, but he didn't know how to use it. Therefore, he distributed it and made a decision after seeing its effect."
"And this battle made him realize that as long as there is enough gunpowder, the soldiers of Daqin can be as good as ten or even hundreds."
"The total number of the Northern Army is about 30, which consumes a lot of money, all relying on the supply of food and grass from the hinterland of the Great Qin."
"Using the most conservative estimate, 20 people can be laid off."
"The cost savings will be extremely staggering."
"Besides, according to Mr., these 20 people returned to their hometowns and married wives..."
Fusu himself felt a little uncomfortable talking about Chen Qing's vulgar words.
He turned his head away in embarrassment: "The lack of manpower in Daqin will be greatly alleviated, and both the country and the people will benefit immensely."
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "I think so too. What else?"
While Fusu was thinking, Wang Jian took the initiative to say: "The old minister believes that the Huns don't know the root of gunpowder, and they can't come up with countermeasures in a short time. Why don't you take this opportunity and let the Northern Army take the initiative to attack after the spring of next year, and wipe out the Huns on the grasslands, so as to No future trouble!"
"it is good!"
Ying Zheng clapped his hands excitedly: "That's exactly what it should be."
Meng Yi said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I feel that... the northern region is bitterly cold, and the soldiers have worked hard for many years. If there is no reward, it seems biased."
Ying Zheng nodded lightly: "I will remember the hard work of the soldiers. Meng Tian has made great achievements in hard work, and the corporal leader Pang Guosheng is amazingly courageous, and he should be rewarded heavily."
"Your Majesty, I feel that this skill..."
Meng Yi was unwilling to be robbed of credit by Chen Qing, and wanted to seek justice for his elder brother.
Ying Zheng immediately looked worried: "The widow thinks it's important, or Meng Qing thinks it's important?"
"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
Meng Yi bowed to the end in fear, not daring to show his breath.
"Humph!"
Ying Zheng turned his head away: "Zhao Chong, declare Chen Qing to enter the palace."
"Shiman is waiting in the boudoir. He has made such a great contribution, and the widow will promise Shiman to him."
Hearing this, Fusu suddenly showed a gratified expression.
He and Chen Qing are as close as brothers, and now they are finally confirmed as relatives.
Wang Jian twisted his beard and smiled without saying a word.
Granddaughter Zhiyin can be regarded as married!
Although Chen Qing's character is not flattering, he is definitely material for great things and has a bright future.
Even being a concubine is not treating her badly.
Meng Yi was upset, and lowered his head secretly annoyed.
He originally thought that Wang Jian would say a few words for him because he was also part of the prince's party.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the other party still stood still.
Meng Yi turned his head in doubt, only to find that there was an obvious smile on the corner of Wang Jian's mouth, as if... very happy?
He couldn't help being angry and speechless.
Does this matter to you?
Why are you so happy?
Chapter 160 As soon as His Majesty bestowed a marriage, you went to overthrow other women?
"Chen Shaofu, His Majesty announces you to enter the palace for an audience."
Zhao Chong stood outside the door, standing silently waiting.
A burst of rich aroma wafted over, and he couldn't help inhaling his nose hard.
The taste of chicken soup!
I don't know what medicinal materials are added in it, but it smells rich and mellow with a long aftertaste.
Zhao Chong couldn't help swallowing, secretly envious and jealous.
He accompanied the first emperor on the saddle, walking on thin ice all day long, but he didn't see much benefit.
Chen Qing behaved mischievously every day and caused countless troubles, but the official became bigger and bigger, and now he even married the princess.
He rushed over non-stop all the way to pass on the news, but this guy was at home happily drinking chicken soup.
Ugh……
God is really unfair.
squeak-
Chen Qing came out with a big bowl in his hand, with a chicken leg in his mouth.
"Zuo Zhao, why are you swollen?"
"Your Majesty declares you to enter the palace for an audience."
Zhao Chong rolled his eyes and repeated.
"Your Majesty asked me to enter the palace?"
Chen Qing subconsciously looked up at the sky.
The night is dark, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
"Wait a minute, I'll have another sip of soup."
"Old Zhao, would you like to come in and have a drink?"
According to long-term experience, it is definitely not a good thing for the first emperor to summon him late at night.
Chen Qing's Polygonum multiflorum and pheasant soup had been stewed for two hours, and he didn't want to waste it.
Zhao Chong straightened his face and took a deep breath, but he did not suppress his anger after all: "Chen Qing, Your Majesty is summoning you, how dare you refuse?"
"What should I do?"
"It's such a big goblin, it's even rarer to see one with such a unique appearance."
"How about I pack it and bring it into the palace, so Your Majesty can taste it too?"
Chen Qingman said nonchalantly, "Fusu should be in Xianyang Palace, right? It's just a coincidence."
"you……"
Zhao Chong was too angry to speak.
You drink the leftover chicken soup and let His Majesty taste it?
Thank you for being able to figure it out!
"I haven't even touched the soup in the pot."
"Look at your hypocrisy."
Chen Qing waved his hands impatiently: "Wait, that's good."
……
Zhao Chong watched the door close, and Chen Qing actually went back to the house to pack.
At this moment, he also had to admire the other party's courage, and this detached mentality that ignored the imperial power and etiquette.
Does His Majesty like this?
Zhao Chong couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
-
"Your Majesty, Chen Shaofu brought it here."
The imperial study room was brightly lit.
Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, Wang Jian, and Fu Su are still discussing the matter of exterminating the Huns.
After hearing Zhao Chong's report, Emperor Shi Huang straightened his back and said loudly, "Xuan."
"See Your Majesty."
Chen Qing walked in with lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes, holding an amphora.
Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.
"Chen Qing, what are you bringing?"
