I was fucked by Zheng Ge as soon as I crossed over

The three dukes and nine ministers received the urgent summons from His Majesty and hurried over from their respective offices.

Several people met on the official road leading to the Qinzheng Hall, greeted each other, and asked about the news of His Majesty's urgent summons.

"Prime Minister Li, do you know why His Majesty summoned you this time?"

Li Si shook his head as he walked away, "I don't know either. When I left this morning, Your Majesty didn't mention any urgent political matters."

Wei Liao, who was one step behind Li Si, thought of the military report from a few days ago and frowned, "Could it be that there is an urgent military situation on the border?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

If this is true, it will not be a simple fight, but a major war.

Several people looked at each other, quickened their pace, and each thought about the preparations their subordinates needed to make for the war.

"Hahaha! Reward! My son, I'll give you anything you want!"

The Qinzheng Hall was right in front of them. The old men listened in surprise to the emperor's loud laughter in the hall, and their hearts suddenly relaxed.

Seeing him so happy, I think the Imperial Master has come up with something good that will benefit the country and the people.

Thinking of this, they became even more anxious and urged the servants to go into the hall quickly to pass on the message.

The young servant did not dare to delay and trotted into the hall, "Your Majesty, the ministers have arrived."

"Okay! Xuan!"

Ying Zheng strode onto the dragon throne, sat there with the power of tiger and dragon, and waited for the three dukes and nine ministers.

Su Jinyue: ???

I almost suffocated to death.

She is ready to ask for that mountain of gold!

These little old guys ruined her plans.

Li Si and his companions had already entered the main hall, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed loudly.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"No gifts, please give me a seat!"

The atmosphere in the magnificent Qinzheng Hall is solemn and dignified.

The attendants filed in, holding exquisite teacups, and served tea and snacks to the old ministers with light steps.

The aroma of tea filled the air and slowly spread, and everyone's expressions, which had been sitting upright, relaxed a little.

Wang Wan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, is there any great news? Just now, from a distance, I heard your majesty's laughter."

Ying Zheng, who was sitting at the head of the table, smiled happily, "It's a great joy! Gunpowder is now ready. Moving mountains, altering rivers, building roads and bridges will all be as easy as pie!"

"Oh? What's gunpowder?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and a different light flashed in their eyes.

If it is really as Your Majesty says, then it is a divine act. Where can the Great Qin not go? What worries the world?

Ying Zheng's lips curled up as he turned to Su Jinyue and said softly, "Yue'er, tell the ministers."

"Yes! Father!"

Su Jinyue stood up and bowed, looked around, and then spoke amid everyone's anxious gazes.

"Gunpowder is the most powerful thing in the world. It can split mountains and rocks, and can defeat enemies thousands of miles away!" Su Jinyue said slowly, her voice as surging as a clear spring.

"This substance is made from several powders mixed in specific proportions. It's incredibly powerful, exploding instantly upon contact. A small packet can generate the power of ten or even a hundred men, destroying barriers in an instant with a sound like thunder and a force unstoppable!"

As soon as the words fell, Wei Liao could no longer wait and stood up from his chair, anxiously asking, "Is there a finished product? Master Imperial Master, can this be mass-produced?"

Su Jinyue shook her head slightly and replied with some regret: "We have just made the explosive powder. It will take some time to make it into a bomb that is easy to carry."

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Wei Liao muttered absentmindedly, "The gunpowder is ready, and the other formed objects will be easy to deal with. There is no rush, no need to rush."

The lieutenant had reacted by now, but he was thinking more about marching and fighting.

He raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and slammed it hard on the table, laughing. "Then wouldn't it be enough to just send a few officers with this gunpowder to ambush the enemy's path and annihilate them? Haha! Or maybe just throw a few gunpowder balls into the enemy's tent and blow them up?"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He wished he could just mount his horse and charge into the enemy camp with a few pieces of gunpowder in his arms.

"of course can!"

Su Jinyue raised her head and shook the ends of her hair proudly.

"Once the bombs are ready, I'll draw up some blueprints for the cannons and muskets! Shoot those shells like arrows at the other side and I guarantee they'll be driven to flee!"

"Good! Great good!"

"Great! The Great Qin Dynasty will prosper! The Great Qin Dynasty will prosper!"

The old men strolled happily in the hall, and occasionally smiled at each other when they met each other's gazes. They felt that the other party they disliked in the past had become particularly pleasing to the eye today, and no longer as hateful as before.

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers in the hall who were laughing happily, and felt so happy that he drank two cups of warm tea.

"Alright, gentlemen, let's quickly determine where the equipment is needed, have the Ministry of Finance calculate the required amount, and arrange for laborers to mine as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ting Wei Xin seemed somewhat worried at this time, and he particularly emphasized the confidentiality of the matter.

"Your Majesty, this object is too powerful. Every checkpoint must be strictly controlled. The people in the Ministry of Personnel are too numerous and too noisy. I'm afraid we can no longer keep it in the Ministry of Personnel for research."

"Gentlemen, if this gunpowder is to be manufactured on a large scale, it will require a lot of labor and materials. What are your opinions?" Ying Zheng looked at the people present with a burning gaze.

Li Si stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, although gunpowder is very expensive and makes a lot of noise, if it is hidden deep in the mountains and surrounded by troops, there is no need to worry too much about it being leaked."

Everyone listened to Li Si's suggestions, agreed in their hearts, and nodded silently.

Feng Jie followed closely behind and stepped out to speak, "Your Majesty, this mountain must be chosen in the old Qin land, where no nobles from the six kingdoms have been relocated."

"That's right. This is the only way to be safe."

Ying Zheng listened carefully to everyone's suggestions. As his eyes moved, he caught a glimpse of Su Jinyue's indifferent look and coughed lightly.

"My son, I heard that you want to accept a few disciples?"

Su Jinyue dropped the snack in surprise. Weren't they discussing which mountain was higher? Why was he suddenly asking her about accepting a disciple?

"Yes, Father, I plan to hold a disciple-taking ceremony in a few days."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly, "How about I grant you a piece of land to build a palace for the Imperial Master?"

"Ah? Okay!" Su Jinyue agreed before she could react. Who wouldn't want the land?

"Alright!" Ying Zheng laughed. "Then the research and development of gunpowder will be transferred to your Imperial Master's Mansion. When the time comes, I will be there in person to preside over the disciple-taking ceremony with you."

Su Jinyue understood that this was to transfer scientific research personnel.

"Then the apprenticeship ceremony will have to be postponed for a few days. First, the Imperial Master's Mansion will be built."

"No need! I've already made preparations. Everything inside is almost complete. We just need to add some rooms for experiments."

Ying Zheng waved his hand proudly, "Let all the gentlemen come together to congratulate the auspicious star of the Great Qin!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will prepare gifts and congratulate the Imperial Master on accepting a disciple."
