Chapter 290 Foreign Barbarians, Afraid of Power but Not Virtuous
Hearing the laughter of the whole court, the eldest prince who was prostrate on the ground couldn't help but tremble all over.
If you want to be someone else's son, let it go without others, and you are still mocked in person, what a shame is this feeling?
He can also see that although today is to discuss the compensation of Goguryeo to Daqin, the whole process has almost nothing to do with Goguryeo.
In the eyes of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, the life and death of Goguryeo was nothing more than a lesson for the prince.
Qin Shihuang never regarded Goguryeo as a positive opponent.
This is the gap in absolute strength.
The eldest prince felt cruel in his heart,
"If the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty is not eliminated, I, Goguryeo, will never rest in peace!"
When the laughter in the court gradually subsided, Qin Shihuang said with a smile,
"This time watching the government, I just listen to the words of a few princes."
"Specific compensation matters, Zhao Gao, you arrange someone to connect with you."
"Alright, send the eldest prince out."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, some guards took the eldest prince out and threw him outside the palace gate.
The eldest prince stood up tremblingly, his eyes were actually full of resentment, but he didn't dare to look at Chaotang.
He even doubted that if the guards at the side saw that he was dissatisfied, they would stab him to death with a sword!
Thinking of this, the eldest prince lowered his head and left in a very respectful manner.
——
In Taiwei's mansion.
Zhao Lang and the officials finished bragging, and then asked everyone to have fun together.
This is not a problem in Daqin.
After finishing speaking, everyone showed smiles that men could understand.
Just wait for the time to come,
Everyone leaves.
Although there were a few who refused in good faith, Zhao Lang didn't force it.
Just when the time was almost up, a familiar figure walked in.
It was Meng Yi.
In an instant, all the officials stood up, Zhao Lang was no exception, and saluted,
"Meet Meng Shangqing."
Meng Yi nodded as a response, then walked straight to Zhao Lang, and said very casually,
"Well, that's right, I just want to come to Taiwei's Mansion more and get acquainted with everyone, so I can use it in the future."
Zhao Lang smiled and said that he respected the two Meng brothers very much. .
Of course he can use these officials, but if he secretly wants to make some small moves in the future, he always needs someone inside.
Seeing this scene, the officials at the side became more determined to move closer to Zhao Lang.
For a while, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
After sitting down, Meng Yi quickly mentioned what happened in the court today, but he didn't mention the three princes.
It's just that there are three views in the court.
"Ah Lang, what do you think?"
Meng Yi asked.
Zhao Lang was a little surprised at first. Although he alone leads the military of a county, he is not yet qualified to participate in the government.
But he quickly realized that it was a test of him and also his attitude towards the outside world.
After all, both of them valued him very much.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Lang decided to tell the truth that if he wanted to persuade the two Meng brothers in the future, he had to be sincere.
But instead of answering the question directly, he smiled and said,
"Back to Meng Shangqing, the last general once heard a saying that foreign barbarians are afraid of power but not virtuous."
"Giving them benefits, they will not be grateful, but accept it with peace of mind. In the end, they will feel that we have given less."
Meng Yi was startled slightly when he heard this, and asked involuntarily,
"There is such a shameless country in this world?"
"I know that people have good and evil, but if it is the same in a country, how can it stand on its own in the world?"
The other officials were also slightly surprised.
They couldn't imagine that such a state could exist in the world.
Looking at the confused people in the room, Zhao Lang couldn't help showing a smile.
Although these people are all officials of Daqin, they still have little knowledge in this area after all.
He had seen a lot in his previous life.
"Meng Shangqing, not everyone has the etiquette that my Great Qin has passed down from ancient times."
"The foreign barbarians are mostly pirates and robbers, and they have no etiquette or shame."
"Even the states around Great Qin mostly have small courtesy but lack great virtue."
Zhao Lang returned with a smile,
"Therefore, these foreign barbarians should be beaten first, the harder the better!"
"Then they will still kneel down and say that I waited for the fight well, and they will call me wait for my father."
"Turn them on, and they'll say we played well."
When Zhao Lang finished speaking, everyone in the room was stunned, including Meng Yi.
One official couldn't help but say,
"General Zhao, is this an exaggeration?"
"How could there be such...so..."
The officials thought for a while, but they couldn't think of suitable words.
Although he is a crude military officer, he still has a bottom line!
Zhao Lang continued to laugh,
"Such a lowly state?"
Then Zhao Lang saw all the officials nodding like chickens pecking at rice.
These people still know less.
On the other hand, Meng Yi frowned slightly and said,
"Such vulgar words, don't say more in the future."
Of course Zhao Lang should be.
But Meng Yi also knew Zhao Lang's attitude towards these people,
"Well, it's time now, you have something to do, walk with me."
The officials on the side once again showed envious looks.
Meng Yi personally asked Zhao Lang to accompany him. How much favor is this?
They can't even ask for it.
But Zhao Lang said,
"Meng Shangqing, the last general has made an agreement with you to go and listen to the sound of silk and bamboo together."
Meng Yi was taken aback for a moment,
"The sound of silk and bamboo?"
Zhao Lang nodded and said sincerely,
"Just go to the technical academy."
"Do you want Meng Shangqing to come together?"
Technical institutes do not only have trading business, prostitutes and prostitutes are also separated.
The surrounding officials were all dumbfounded.
They never dared to think that Zhao Lang dared to invite Meng Yi to the Technical Academy.
As a Shangqing, how could Meng Yi go to such a place with a subordinate with such a different status.
Meng Yi looked at Zhao Lang, thought for a while, and then said,
"I've been a little tired recently, so it's not bad to have some fun."
He knew Zhao Lang's identity, and losing his virginity in the technical academy was a big deal.
He still looks good.
Well, let someone tell His Majesty later.
Just hearing this, the eyes of the officials were straightened, and even a few officials who didn't want to go came together.
It is a great honor to be able to go to the Technical Academy with Meng Shangqing, even if it is just to listen to music!
At the very least, if you talk about it with other colleagues in the future, if you say that Meng Shangqing and I went to the Technical Academy together, you will definitely gain a different perspective.
Zhao Lang suddenly smiled and said,
"Then everyone, please."
In an instant, a group of people left Taiwei's Mansion and headed towards the Technical Academy.
After they left, a guard hurried towards the palace.
——
Xianyang Palace.
Qin Shihuang is telling Zhao Gao,
"Goguryeo's compensation, you go and see what the treasury is short of."
Zhao Gao responded with a smile,
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old slave knows."
Qin Shihuang nodded, he was at ease with Zhao Gao's work.
At this moment, a black ice guard hurried in and reported,
"Your Majesty, Young Master Lang took Meng Shangqing and the officials from Taiwei's Mansion to the Technical Academy."
Qin Shihuang was slightly taken aback, then looked at Zhao Gao very naturally.
Zhao Gao blinked, squeezed out a smile, and said with some resentment,
"The old slave will go in a moment."
But inside he was crying,
"Girl Lang, what do you always go there for?"
