Chapter 82 Take the sword and fight me!
"Boom, boom, boom"
The sound of uniform footsteps came from afar and gradually approached. The soldiers walked into the court hall in unison. Their feet stomped heavily on the ground, making a dull and powerful sound.
The civil and military officials who had just entered the court hall had frowns on their faces, not knowing what had happened.
Those who were not so steady had already started to gather together, lowering their heads and whispering to each other.
"What's going on? We are not allowed to bring weapons into the court. This group of soldiers has bad intentions."
"Is it that someone has committed a heinous crime and must be executed immediately?"
"..."
Several well-informed senior ministers already knew the reason for the arrival of these soldiers.
They sat at the top, with their heads down and no words spoken. Occasionally they would raise their eyelids and silently examine the soldiers' armor, or they would ponder in their hearts how they should gain greater benefits for the departments they were in charge of.
The generals had no time to care about these twists and turns. These strong men stared at the equipment of the soldiers with shining eyes. They wanted to go forward and take a closer look, but they tried their best to hold back.
"Your Majesty has arrived, kneel!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Everyone knelt and took their seats. Some of the generals could no longer contain themselves and stepped directly into the hall.
"Your Majesty, I see that the armor worn by these soldiers is very different from the equipment of the army. Do you want to replace the army's uniforms?"
"Hahaha~"
Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng laughed heartily, "That's right! All the millions of soldiers of my great Qin can be exchanged for this magical weapon!"
He took out the two swords he carried with him in his right hand and placed them side by side.
"This sword is comparable to a windlass."
As he finished speaking, he slowly pulled the sword he had acquired yesterday from its scabbard. The moment it was unsheathed, a flash of cold light flashed, as if it could cut through the air. The blade was slender and straight, and after chopping the tree trunk for half the night, it remained as smooth as before, without the slightest damage or flaw.
The civil and military officials were already in an uproar.
The Lulu Sword was the toughest and sharpest sword at that time. Your Majesty used it to compare the sword in his hand, which shows how much he values and respects this sword.
Ying Zheng: "Bring me the sword!"
Immediately, a guard walked into the hall holding a long sword he was wearing. This sword was also made of iron sword. Only a very small number of soldiers could wear this sword. It can be said that it represents the highest-level equipment among the soldiers of the entire Qin Dynasty.
The lieutenant took two quick steps, took the sword, and bowed. "Your Majesty, I will accompany you to test the sword."
"Hahaha, good!"
Someone on the military officer's side was already shaking his head and sighing, "Ah, that old bastard got there first. Um, I could have tried my sword, too."
Ying Zheng walked out from behind the dragon table and came to the lieutenant in the center of the hall.
"Take the sword and fight me!"
The lieutenant bowed to Ying Zheng again, drew his guard sword from its scabbard, raised his hands in front of him, concentrated his Qi into his Dantian, slightly bent his legs, and shouted, "Come!"
Ying Zheng's face was serious. He gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and swung it down fiercely at the guard sword in front of him.
"Zheng---------"
The two swords collided, sparks flew, and the loud and somewhat harsh sound of swords clashing echoed in the hall.
Everyone unconsciously stretched their necks and looked towards the field.
The lieutenant was indeed a capable man in charge of the entire palace guards. He took Ying Zheng's attack steadily without moving his feet, but the sword in his hand was not unscathed.
He held the blade of the sword upwards and examined it carefully. He found that there was a half-finger gap on the blade and several tiny cracks appeared on the sword, spreading from the gap where the two swords collided.
He looked at the sword in His Majesty's hand with shining eyes, and was about to ask a question when he heard His Majesty's hearty laughter.
"Hahaha, come again!"
"Yes!"
This was repeated until the fourth round when there was a crisp "crack" sound and the sword broke. The broken half of the sword fell to the ground with a heavy and short sound.
At that moment, the entire hall fell into a moment of stagnation, and everyone's eyes were focused on the guard sword that was broken into two sections. The broken edges were uneven, and reflected a cold light under the sunlight, telling of the fierce collision between the two swords.
Looking at the new sword again, it is still strong. There are some scratches on the sword, but it does not affect its subsequent use.
Ying Zheng slowly ran his fingers over the blade of the precious sword, his heart pounding as he shouted, "Shaofu Ling Cai Yan!"
"I am here!"
Cai Yan stepped forward and began to explain in detail the forging process of the sword.
"This iron sword is forged from iron ore and charcoal. The materials are simple, rust-resistant, and the forging time is less than half the time it would take to forge a sword. This method was developed at the suggestion of the Marquis of Guannei, following joint research and experimentation by the Imperial Household Engineer, the Stone Preceptor, the Iron Official, the Mohists, and the Gongshuists. The process is simple, the materials are readily available, and even the original Qin soldiers' swords can be recycled and reforged. In time, every soldier in the Great Qin will be able to wield this new sword."
"Om~"
Everyone in the hall could no longer remain shocked and exclaimed in amazement.
"Your Majesty, the capital's army is in urgent need of a new set of equipment. I request Your Majesty to issue an order to allocate new swords and soldiers to the capital's army."
"Your Majesty, the border defense is under great pressure. If we have this sword, morale will be greatly boosted, and the military strength can be multiplied!"
"Your Majesty, the counties are still plagued by bandits and the people are suffering. We urgently need new equipment to suppress the bandits and pacify our rule."
"......"
The generals rushed to the front, fearing that they would fall behind.
Shaofu, Tieguan and others were both happy and sad. They were happy that their new weapons were being used, but they were also sad about the overtime work they would have to do day and night.
The left and right prime ministers, the internal historian Zhili, and the Taicang magistrate had already begun to calculate the amount of this expenditure in their minds.
The national treasury finally had some surplus food, but it was about to run out again. Several people looked at Su Jinyue silently, hoping that the third princess would show her power and make a fortune again.
Ying Zheng, who had already sat back on the dragon throne, stretched out his hand to stop the commotion in the hall and gave orders in a heroic voice.
"Anyone who participates in the refining of the new sword will be rewarded handsomely. The fief of Guannei Hou will be doubled, and he will be appointed as the Left Supervisor of the Ministry of Finance. He will take up the position today."
Su Jinyue participated in court meetings for a longer period of time and made many remarkable achievements. Moreover, the forging of the new sword was indeed a great achievement. No civil or military official stood up to oppose it, except Su Jinyue herself.
What does that mean? She can be offered bounties, fiefs, and handsome men, so why increase her workload?
"I bow to you, Father. I am still young and I am afraid I cannot serve as the Left Supervisor of the Imperial Household. Please consider this."
Su Jinyue knelt in the middle of the hall feeling aggrieved, and raised her head to look at her good father above her with accusation. She was frightened away by the other party's tilt of his head, and immediately retracted her head, put her hands on the ground, and thanked him loudly.
"I obey your command and thank you for your grace, Father!"
Shaofu, Tieguan, Juzi Mojiang and Gongshuzi all came out to thank Your Majesty for his grace.
After the awards were given, everyone in the hall began a new round of scramble, loudly discussing the order in which the military funds should be distributed.
Some generals even rolled up their sleeves, ready to fight.
