Chapter 635: Everything Is Decided by His Highness the Crown Prince
Zhao Gao had heard some clues at this time and had a guess in his mind.
But just this trace of speculation made his heart tremble.
The prince is too courageous!
I have only been in charge of the country for one day!
Have you started testing His Majesty?
But his Majesty's reaction left him confused. This didn't look like a good thing.
But why is His Majesty so happy?
After swallowing, Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and said with a bit of nervousness,
"Your Majesty, are you overthinking it? His Highness the Crown Prince may just want Chunyu Yue to teach Young Master Fusu. Moreover, there are so many Confucian scholars from the school of benevolence and virtue in northern Xinjiang, and there is always a great Confucian in charge."
Qin Shihuang snorted coldly at him and said,
"What do you know! Now that we have reached this position, it is natural to want power!"
"When you reported back this morning, I had a hunch that Lang'er gave these ministers a blow in the court, and the ministers would inevitably resist."
"Lang'er will naturally have to deal with some people, and will also promote a group of his own people. He wants to see my reaction in advance! Then he can make a response."
"Believe it or not, as long as I don't object, Lang'er will reinstate Officer Li Si in less than two days! Then use Li Si to activate his people."
"This boy is quite calculating!"
Listening to Qin Shihuang's explanation, Zhao Gao closed his mouth tightly. He really didn't expect that Zhao Lang could find out so much information with just one person!
Now, it would be better for him not to get involved in the matter between the two father and son.
Qin Shihuang continued at this time,
"However, Lang'er is still a little anxious, probably because of the Huns. He wants to make these preparations earlier and then concentrate on dealing with the Huns."
"The children he brought back today should also be prepared to deal with the Huns."
"But the Huns are not so easy to deal with now. We must not be impatient about military and national affairs."
After saying this, Qin Shihuang took two steps back and forth in the palace and said quickly,
"Go and call Lang'er. I want to talk to him."
"But you can't tell Lang'er what you just said."
Zhao Gao quickly took the order and headed towards Zhao Lang's palace.
Not long after, Zhao Lang appeared at the entrance of the palace.
In the palace, it didn't take much time.
"Dad, are you looking for me?"
As soon as Zhao Lang entered the door, he smiled and said,
"My son originally wanted to report to you what happened in court today, but people outside discovered some new seeds, so they went out."
"When I came back, I was pestered by three boys again, so I came late."
Zhao Lang knows these things about himself, and his father must know them all.
Black Ice Guard is my father's direct descendant.
Qin Shihuang nodded and said,
"Lang'er, dad knows all these things. Zhao Gao said that you did a good job in court today."
"Dad didn't expect you to be able to convince them on the first day."
Zhao Lang was not particularly happy when he heard his father's praise, because he knew that there would often be another sentence next, but...
Sure enough, Qin Shihuang quickly continued,
"But, I also heard from Zhao Gao that you have ordered people to train troops and horses to prepare for the war with the Huns?"
"But didn't you say before that the entire Qin Dynasty is exhausted, can it still withstand this war?"
He would not directly deny Zhao Lang's idea of cultivating a prince.
What you can give to the Emperor can only be suggestions.
The decision-making power always rests with the Emperor.
Upon hearing the question, Zhao Lang nodded directly and said,
"Dad, you are right. Da Qin cannot withstand a war now."
"Only this time, it's not the children who want to be beaten, but the Huns who want to be beaten."
"Today's Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun is a far-sighted person."
"Haier thinks that he also knows that our country, Daqin, is in a difficult time right now, so I'm afraid he won't let this opportunity go."
"At the earliest next spring, and at the latest next summer, the Huns will probably launch a large-scale plundering attack."
Zhao Lang actually did not want to start a war with the Xiongnu immediately.
It would be best if you can rest for two years. By then, you will be ready.
Wouldn't it be nice to just use the army to push them across?
But judging from his current performance, the Huns will not give him this opportunity.
Taking advantage of Qin's weakness and then attacking was a tactic they had always used.
Hearing Zhao Lang's prediction, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but frowned.
"Time is so tight? But now most of the Great Wall has been closed. With Meng Tian and hundreds of thousands of troops here, it should be able to hold it."
When he was in the court, he received urgent military reports from Meng Tian from time to time, and he was already somewhat used to it.
Zhao Lang shook his head at this time and replied,
"Although General Meng has hundreds of thousands of troops, the Huns are no longer what they used to be."
"Maodun took advantage of the civil strife in the Qin Dynasty and conquered the Yueshi and Qiang people. Even my Hu tribe is now ostensibly surrendered to him."
"His total military strength has exceeded 300,000!"
"Dad, these are 300,000 cavalry."
Speaking of this, Zhao Lang couldn't help but reveal a wry smile,
"And it comes with stirrups."
"They can launch an attack from any point on our thousands-mile border with Qin. How can our army defend it?"
"Now, they are constantly launching harassment attacks. They are actually testing our army's defense layout."
"And once they enter the interior, although they cannot attack the city, all the counties in the North will be destroyed!"
After listening to Zhao Lang's words, Qin Shihuang's face gradually became serious.
I have to say that these two generations of Xiongnu chanyus are indeed heroes.
He had obviously defeated the Xiongnu once, but the other party actually developed again.
The power has grown so strong!
Qin Shihuang suddenly frowned slightly and said,
"Then Lang'er, how are you going to deal with it?"
If you really want to guard such a long border as Zhao Lang said, how many sergeants will you need to recruit?
How can Great Qin support itself now?
Zhao Lang took a slight breath at this time and said,
"Dad, my child needs to take the initiative!"
"What?!"
Even Qin Shihuang couldn't help shouting when he heard this!
Now the Huns have 300,000 cavalry!
On the grassland, it is no exaggeration to say that he is invincible!
Zhao Lang had fewer troops than others at this time, so he actually left the Great Wall unused, but decided to take the initiative to attack! ?
Isn't this courting death?
Zhao Lang smiled bitterly at this time and said,
"Dad, this method is a bit risky, but the child is not messy."
"Dad, my child still remembers that you..."
Zhao Lang quickly finished his thoughts. Qin Shihuang was dumbfounded and couldn't help but say,
"Lang'er, are you sure?"
As soon as he finished asking, Qin Shihuang knew that he had asked nonsense, but he still shook his head.
"Lang'er, now your identity is..."
But before he could finish speaking, Zhao Lang returned quickly,
"Dad, don't worry, I won't take risks on myself. I can promise you that I will protect myself no matter what!"
Qin Shihuang still frowned tightly.
Zhao Lang persuaded him at this time,
"Dad, if we can't deal with the Huns this time, then we'll wait until the Huns rob so many supplies."
"If we let them continue to develop in such a comfortable way and plunder every year, I am afraid that Da Qin will not be able to support it!"
"When their ambitions get bigger and bigger, they won't just plunder!"
Qin Shihuang knew that Zhao Lang was right, so he couldn't help but take a deep breath and said,
"How many more people do you need?"
For a decisive battle with the Huns, the current strength is definitely not enough!
Zhao Lang smiled and said,
"Dad, you don't have to worry about the soldiers. The kid has his own way."
Qin Shihuang smiled and said,
"What can you do? It doesn't matter, dad will recruit for you."
He used his own name to forcefully recruit him again!
He has worn the title of tyrant for so long, he doesn't mind one more time.
He had already thought that if the public dissatisfaction was extremely great, he would abdicate to the prodigal.
Zhao Lang still shook his head and said,
"Dad, I'll just figure it out myself when it comes to the soldiers."
When Qin Shihuang saw that Zhao Lang was sure, he no longer forced himself. It would be better to see what the other party would do first.
If it doesn't work, he can do it himself.
After deciding on this matter, Qin Shi Huang thought of something and asked,
"Can those children you have in your hands come in handy?"
Zhao Lang smiled and shook his head and said,
"Dad, when I snatched these children back from the grassland, I'm afraid Moton thought they were dead."
"If you want to use them to threaten Maodun, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Besides, these children will be of great use after the children defeat the Huns."
When Qin Shihuang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The outcome was not yet decided.
Zhao Lang was already thinking about what to do after victory.
You know, Da Qin is at a disadvantage now.
He said with a bit of dryness,
"What do you want to do with these kids?"
Zhao Lang had actually mentioned it to his father before, but not in detail, but he still quickly outlined his plan.
After Qin Shihuang heard this, he said with a complicated expression,
"Lang'er, can these few children really have such a big effect?"
Zhao Lang thought of something at this time and said with great certainty,
"Dad, the effect will only be more exaggerated than you think!"
In his previous life, Zhao Lang had seen news about things that were worse than beasts, cleaning the ground for their various beast fathers.
Simply unworthy!
Qin Shihuang could only nod his head and said,
"Lang'er, just be sure, then just go ahead and do it."
Hearing this, Zhao Lang's heart moved slightly and he replied,
"Yes, Dad!"
"It's getting late, so you should go to bed early."
Qin Shihuang nodded, and Zhao Lang immediately bowed and left.
Soon, Zhao Gao walked in and said,
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone back. You should also rest."
Qin Shihuang nodded, just hesitated for a moment, and then said,
"Zhao Gao, if any ministers ask to see you in the future, they will not see you."
"All matters are decided by the prince."
Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, then took the order.
Time passed by, and in the next few days, the court was relatively peaceful.
The ministers originally thought that if the prince had any new ideas, they would find reasons to block it.
Da Qin really doesn't need and can't afford a second First Emperor now.
But who knew that Zhao Lang would concentrate on preparing for the winter for the people of Chu.
There's nothing to stop them.
Very natural fit.
It's just that this work is extremely complicated, and Zhao Lang's orders come one after another, and the ministers are very tired.
In the court today, after another political discussion, all the ministers were a little tired.
Zhao Lang looked at the reaction below and said very normally,
"There have been a lot of state affairs recently, and I have only been in charge of the country for a short time. Thank you for your hard work, ministers."
Listening to Zhao Lang's polite words, the ministers responded one after another,
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious. This is our duty."
Zhao Lang smiled and nodded, and then said,
"You are indeed the pillars of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty cannot do without you."
"I have prepared some small gifts for you, please don't dislike them."
"Now let the Prime Minister distribute the things to you."
After hearing this, the ministers immediately said again,
"Thank you, Your Highness."
They were still happy in their hearts, the prince was still a sensible person.
Soon, Li Si appeared in the court with gifts, and then gave them to the ministers one by one.
The ministers naturally thanked him.
After handing out the gifts, Li Si naturally resumed his position as prime minister.
Only then did the minister realize that something was wrong.
Wasn't Li Si reprimanded at home by the First Emperor? ?
Now, just one word from the prince means that he will be reinstated to his original position?
You know, Li Si is not lovable.
For a moment, the ministers could not help but whisper among themselves!
Several officials wanted to say something, but Li Si said in advance,
"Colleagues, please excuse me. Your Highness the Crown Prince is now in charge of the country. I hope you will work together to help His Highness the Crown Prince."
Hearing this, the ministers looked at Li Si, who had a sinister expression, then at Wang Jian, who had his eyes closed to rest, and finally at Zhao Lang, who had an indifferent expression.
If you still don’t understand that this is Zhao Lang’s arrangement, then your life will be in vain!
Among these ministers, most of them are nobles in high positions, but they can't deal with hundreds of families.
But now, with the military strategists, Legalists, and Confucians in charge, they have nothing to do.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Zhao Lang spoke now and said,
"Since you have nothing else to report, then please retreat."
With that said, they stood up, bowed to each other and left.
After Li Si glanced at the ministers, he followed Zhao Lang and left.
Many noble ministers gathered together at this time, and an older minister said,
"His Royal Highness, let Li Si come back like this? I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"
"Indeed! It was Your Majesty who was offended by Li Si! I will go and report it to Your Majesty!"
"good!"
Soon, the ministers came to the attendants and said,
"Excuse me! I'm going to the palace to see His Majesty!"
The attendant left to make the announcement, but soon returned and said,
"His Majesty said that everything is decided by His Highness the Crown Prince."
The ministers were slightly stunned. The older minister said to Wang Jian beside him,
"Wuchenghou, although you are a military strategist, don't forget that you are also a meritorious noble of our Great Qin!"
"Although His Royal Highness is the head of hundreds of families, you must be clear."
"Is it the Great Qin of the Hundreds of Families, or the Hundreds of Families of the Great Qin!"
Wang Jian opened his eyes slightly at this time, looked at the old-school nobles of Da Qin, and said,
"I'm already old, why don't you give way?"
"Great Qin is Great Qin, and the Hundred Families are naturally the Hundred Families of Great Qin, but nobles like us are also the nobles of Great Qin!"
"Da Qin is everything!"
After saying that, Wang Jian slowly walked outside.
The ministers and nobles looked confused.
