Surrounded by a crowd of court ladies, Ying Zheng slowly walked into the hall and ascended to the throne.

"Welcome the king!"

"Be flat."

Ying Zheng glanced at Xiong Qi and Xiong Huan who were standing in the third row from the left, and smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, I have this performance!"

Before Ying Zheng could speak, the Patriarch of the Meng family came out of the old Qin family trembling.

"Meng Qing, what can I do?" Ying Zheng asked calmly, with a slight flash of unhappiness in his eyes.

"In my great Qin, there is a small work, toil my Qin people and exhaust my country's strength, in an attempt to prevent my great Qin from leaving Hangu in the east!" The head of the Meng family said sonorously.

"Oh? Who is it?" Ying Zheng asked as a person appeared in his mind, pretending not to know.

"Exactly, the Korean Zheng Guo!"

"Zheng Guo?" In the court, many people showed doubts, all of them were not sure who Zheng Guo was.

"My colleagues may have forgotten that this person was a gift from the King of Han when he was the first king, and he built new water conservancy for our Great Qin. However, his real purpose is to exhaust Qin's strategy, in order to consume our Great Qin's national power, and he can't look back!"

Ying Zheng looked at the performance of the head of the Meng family, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, dismissive.What happened next, Ying Zheng knew what he was going to do without even thinking about it.

"I am from Qin, and my wife and son are bestowed with military merits. Now, Zheng Guo is exhausting my Great Qin, making my Great Qin suffer from hard labor, and cannot go east with all my strength. This person should be punished!"

"Oh? If that's the case, according to what Meng Qing said, we will kill this country of Zheng!" Ying Zheng's majestic voice came from above the hall, and his tone also contained rage and killing intent.

Yingzheng was so decisive, and his answer without asking for details made the head of the Meng family stunned, and then said angrily: "My lord! Zheng Guo's crime is unforgivable, but this is not the root cause! The root cause is that he is from South Korea." , that is, the people of Yaodong! With a peek at the leopard, I invite the king to expel the guest of Yaodong!"

As soon as the Meng family's words came out, all the officials in the court immediately boiled.

The previous state of Zheng was okay, if it was really sent by the King of Han, it was the policy of exhausting Qin, and if he was killed, he would be killed, there is nothing to say.However, it would be too much to expel the entire Yaodong Keqing from the country.

"What does Zheng Guo's crime have anything to do with me and other Yaodong guests?" Immediately, many Yaodong people scolded angrily.

"What you say makes sense!"

"that is!"

Immediately, the already noisy court hall became even more lively.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and gave Zhao Gao a look.

"Silence! On the court, the king is in front of you, how decent is it!" Zhao Gao immediately understood, pretending to be a tiger.

"Where is Zheng Guo?" Ying Zheng asked calmly, beating on the throne.

"Bring Zheng Guo!" Seeing Ying Zheng's order, the head of the Meng family passed the order outside the palace.

After a while, Zheng Guo, who was wearing a prison uniform, was brought to the court.

"Guo Zheng, Meng Qing said that you were entrusted by the King of Han to build canals under the guise of Qin's policy. Is what you said true?" Ying Zheng sat upright slightly, pretending to be majestic and asked.

"My lord, it is true that in the name of the King of Han, I came to Qin State to cast the canal!" Although Zheng Guo was wearing a prison uniform and was a little sloppy, his tone of voice was indeed full of air.

"Hmph! If that's the case, don't apologize with death!" The Patriarch of the Meng family snorted coldly.

"My lord, where is the crime?" Zheng Guo stared angrily, his eyes widening.

"Hmph, using hundreds of thousands of hard labor to exhaust my Daqin, and still say I'm not guilty!"

"The labor labor used to cast the canal is only tens of thousands per year, and there have been hundreds of thousands in the past ten years. The mere tens of thousands of people are injured?" Zheng Guo asked rhetorically.

"The material used to cast the canal is huge, isn't it tired Qin?"

"Nothing big or small, property big or small, all are recorded in the Jane. Zheng Guo has never been greedy for ink, so what crime is there!"

"You! You!" The head of the Meng family was immediately gagged by Zheng Guo's words, not knowing what to do.

The head of the Meng family didn't know what to say, but Zheng Guo said again: "And once this canal is completed, the three hundred miles of Qinchuan can be fertile soil. From then on, there will be abundant grains, the people will have enough food, and the country will be rich. .The merits are in the present age, and the benefits are in the future! What crimes did Zheng Guo commit! "

In the end, the voice of Zheng Guo was almost echoing in the entire hall.

"So, Zhuqing thinks that Zheng Guo should be killed or not?" Ying Zheng asked casually as if he had watched a play.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Guo's move will benefit the country and the people. If Zheng Guo is guilty, we are all guilty!" A minister of the Eastern Faction immediately stood up and said.

It quickly got the approval of a group of Eastern ministers.On the other hand, the old Qin family didn't know what to do.

"Since this is the case, how about giving this canal Zheng Guoqu to comfort Zheng Qing?" Ying Zheng said when he saw that the old Qin family had been silent for a long time.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

A group of ministers from the Eastern Faction immediately responded.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Zheng Guo not only didn't offend, but instead got a big credit, his plan was about to go to waste, Sima Jun didn't care about anything else, and immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, although the State of Zheng is innocent, it is difficult to guarantee that among the Yaodong kingdoms, there will be no other details involved here. For the sake of my Great Qin's safety, I still implore Your Majesty to expel Yaodong Keqing!"

Seeing that Sima Jun went to battle in person, all the ministers of the Eastern faction dared not say a word even though their teeth were itching with hatred.

"So, Master Sima also wants to expel the old minister from Qin?" Finally, Meng Ao, who had been silent for a long time, came out and said.

Today's Meng Ao replaced Lu Buwei early on and became the pillar of the Yaodong Clan.Seeing Meng Ao standing up, all the people from the Eastern faction rejoiced.

"General Meng has made great military exploits for our Great Qin, how could it be a trick of Yao Dong?" Sima Jun smiled, facing Meng Ao, he admitted his cowardice.

"What the old minister said was just those innocuous guests, not the old ministers in the court, please see clearly!" Sima Jun arched his hands and said to Ying Zheng.

Then, without waiting for Yingzheng to open his mouth, Sima Jun took out a long blood-stained silk script from his cuff, and said, "This is a speech jointly signed by thousands of worried and angry people in the Great Qin Pass!"

"Guanzhong joint name?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

When Meng Ao heard the Guanzhong joint name, his momentum immediately stagnated.

Guanzhong joint name, although most of them are just small characters who can't make it to the court.But with so many people co-signing together, it can be regarded as a huge momentum.

The most important thing is that most of these people are reporting their duties in the army, and many of them are even supporters of Yingzheng. If they are directly dismissed, it will be tantamount to hitting the morale of the army.

Ying Zheng knew that although these people were not from the old Qin family, they were the number one followers of military merit.It was precisely because of this that they became supporters of Ying Zheng.
