NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 173
Chapter 173 Above The Great Qin Dynasty Hall, Attacking Wang Jian! (15)
Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.
“See Your Majesty!”
“King for thousands of years!
The ministers arranged their seats and bowed to the King of Qin!
The civil ministers were headed by the right prime minister Kuang Zhuang and the left prime minister Wang Wan, followed by Li Si, the court official, and Feng Quji, the imperial censor.
The generals were headed by Wang Ben who stayed in Xianyang.
Today is a grand meeting!
Ying Zheng sat on the throne, looked at the ministers below, and said indifferently:
“You gentlemen are exempt.
‘sit.
The ministers sat down one after another, while the rest of the ministers stood with their hands holding the jade Guigui.
“Enlightenment!” The temple person standing on the side shouted, which means that the courtiers can report things to the King of Qin, or make suggestions.
Kui Zhuang, Li Si, and others all watched the nose with their eyes, and the nose with their heart, and said nothing.
An important minister like them, every word and deed may cause a shock in the court, so when there is no major event, he will never speak lightly!
Including Wang Ben.
Although he is not as stable as an old dog like Wang Jian, he has at least cultivated to the level of a middle dog.
“Your Majesty, this minister has the original performance! 35
Suddenly, a voice came.
I saw Lu Zheng 19, one of the nine ministers, the minister of the young mansion, stood up holding the jade Gui.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, signaling him to speak.
“General Wang Jian’s attack on Chu has yet to make any substantial progress! 35
Lu Zheng said solemnly,
“Since the army of 600,000 troops was launched, the daily consumption of food, grass and materials has been in the hundreds of thousands!”
“The general has been stationing troops in Shangcai for more than two months, and the consumption of grain and army salaries has exceeded 10 million! 35
“And now, it’s been nearly four months since Chu Chu was attacked. In order to support Chu Chu, the inner government’s money and grain have been emptied, and the grain of the six southern counties has been scraped dry! 99
“If there is no further progress in the attack on Chu, and Wang Jian does not fight the Chu army decisively, then the national strength of my Daqin will not be able to support it!”
After a few words, several shocking figures were revealed!
Daily consumption, hundreds of thousands!
It has consumed tens of millions of materials, and it is moving towards 20 million!
For a time, the ministers in the rear couldn’t help but discuss:
“Where is this war! It’s just eating money! 39
“If you continue to eat like this, the entire Daqin will be eaten up by him!
“Yeah, why is Wang Jian so reluctant to fight the Chu army? What is he thinking? Do you want to bring my Daqin down?!”
“I see! He wants to support his troops! Think about it… 600,000 troops! If this spear turns around… Tsk tsk, I don’t even dare to think about it! 99
66.99
Above the courtroom, rumors spread.
Many people are wondering – why did Wang Jian not make progress and refused to fight?!
If it drags on like this, will it be possible to usher in victory?
Li Si snorted lightly and raised his eyelids to look at Wang Ben.
Dad was criticized by people, don’t you show that you are a son?
However, Wang Ben was still calm, and there was no change in the slightest except for his complexion that was a little dignified.
“Silence!”9
The imperial censor gave an order, and the court instantly returned to silence.
“What did the Shaofu want to express?”
Ying Zheng was sitting on a high place, looking down at the bottom, saying neither salty nor indifferent.
All the gossip, he saw it in his eyes and listened to his heart.
Remarks like this have been there since the beginning, and as time goes by, it has become more and more intense!
The Shaofu Qing complained every day, and every time the court meeting was like a miser, he had to list all the consumption, and every time he said that the national treasury could not support it.
But this hold, isn’t it still holding on to the present!
indeed.
Ying Zheng is not a machine, he is a human being, who will be influenced by the outside world and by gossip.
The three of them became tigers, and there were too many people talking about it, and he would also doubt-what exactly did Wang Jian want to do?
Is his motive simple? With an army of 600,000 in his hands, will he have a different heart?!
But in the end, he will decisively clear away all hesitations and firmly believe in Wang Jian!
Will be outside, you are inside, what you want is mutual trust!
He Ying Zheng is a hero, how can he be such a small tool, and he doesn’t even give this trust?
Not to mention, the precious son Qin Feng is also in the army! The future heirs have already entrusted them, and they will be suspicious because of this mere 600,000 army?!
“Report to the king!”
The secretary of the young mansion, Lu Zheng, said solemnly,
“I hope that the king will urge Wang Jian to fight against the Chu army as soon as possible!
“Even if there is no decisive battle, some good news must be sent back to inspire the court and inspire people!
“So far he has attacked Chu, but he hasn’t even sent a good news back!
Above the court, everyone nodded slightly.
If you say you are stable, everyone will believe it.
But no matter how stable you are, you can’t be so stable! It’s been almost four months, and you haven’t even fought a single battle?! You haven’t even won a single battle?!
This has to be suspicious!
In an instant, a doctor stood up and said:
“Report to the king!”
“Although General Wang Jian has made great achievements in battle, he is old after all. Perhaps when he goes to attack Chu, he will think that he will not seek merit but no fault!”5
“In this way, it can also explain why he did not fight for a long time, but instead spent a lot of materials in Qin land to build fortifications!
“To be honest, this kind of thing can be done by anyone who is present. After all, it is no different from building the Great Wall! Do you think so? Haha…
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the courtroom laughed.
In the laughter, there was contempt and contempt for Wang Jian.
“Lian Po is old…”
Someone else stood up and sighed softly,
“As Dr. Chunyu said, Wang 093 Jian is indeed old, and may have lost the strength of his youth.”
“Perhaps he was just hanging around there, thinking that the Great Qin treasury was exhausted, and the King had to recall it. At that time, he would have a reason to say that it wasn’t that he didn’t want to fight, but that the King recalled that he had to go!
“People, the older you get, the more cunning you get…”
In the previous court meeting, they would also attack Wang Jian with yin and yang from the perspectives of “Wang Jian has different intentions” and “Wang Jian wants to support his troops with self-respect”.
But after discovering that King Qin didn’t seem to like this, the doctors and Yi Lang changed their angle.
Wang Jian did not rebel, but he also did not have enterprising spirit!
He was just messing around on the front line, deliberately draining the Qin national power, and then came back without a hitch!
Obviously, this argument is more logical and more convincing!
Above the court, the number of adherents began to increase!
When Ying Zheng saw this, he remained calm and turned to look at Wang Ben.
“General Wang Ben, what do you think about Wang Jian’s military strategy?
he asked,
“Is it really as everyone said, General Wang Jian… is old?”
Wang Ben suddenly opened his eyes!
He got up and turned around, looking at the people behind him and shouting:
“What nonsense!
“You, such as Confucianists and doctors of law, who don’t know the art of war, don’t know how to use them, and dare to think about the general’s strategy for attacking Chu!
“I really have no self-knowledge!!”
