Through Time Chapter 174

Two days later, inside the palace of Xianyang.

Qin Shi Huang was, as usual, inside the palace.

Only this time there was not only Zhao Gao, but Wang Jian was also on hand, too

“Wu Cheng Hou, now is the time for Xiongnu to recuperate, I want the 50,000 generals in the north to come back for some rest and recuperation.”

“What do you think.”

Qin Shi Huang pointed to the map in front of him and said.

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, and returned to.

“Your Majesty, although the Xiongnu royal court has disappeared into the depths of the grasslands, its roots are still there.”

“It has never given up its prying eyes, and its soldiers are as swift as the wind, so if the northern border is not sufficiently defended, I am afraid it will lead to a great disaster.”

The court full of civil and military officials are not fools.

The 300,000-strong Qin army in the North was costly, but no one dared to pull back the men there.

Rather, they knew that once the Huns were allowed to break through the Great Wall, it would be a catastrophe on earth!

Qin Shi Huang revealed a smile, he knew Wang Jian was telling the truth, except that the other side did not yet know about the existence of stirrups and horseshoes.

The artisanal supervisors of the Great Qin Border Army, having obtained these two items, had already started making them in full force.

These two items were simple to make.

In these days, the stirrups and horseshoes made are already enough for the Great Qin cavalry.

Together with the infantry guarding the Great Wall, it is perfectly possible to withdraw the 50,000 defenders first and relieve the pressure on the northern counties.

Thus, Qin Shi Huang revealed a smile and prepared to bring out the stirrups and horseshoes.

Zhao Gao, who was at the side, knew that Qin Shi Huang was about to start showing off.

Only at that moment, an attendant walked in with quick steps and

“Your Majesty, General Meng has a letter to report.”

“You are also here, Wu Cheng Hou? That messenger said that there was another one that was to be delivered to your home, and it just happened to be delivered to you together.”

Qin Shi Huang froze for a moment and

“Meng Tian? Why not a military report?”

Meng Tian was a great general, and usually when something was communicated, it was a military report that was used; after all, it was a military emergency.

Wang Jian also froze for a moment, although Meng Tian and he were both of the military school.

But there was not really much contact between the two in order to avoid suspicion between the great generals.

Seeing this scene, Qin Shi Huang said that

“Bring them all here.”

“Wuchenghou, look too, what is this Meng Tian up to, that he should write to both you and me at the same time.”

Soon, Qin Shi Huang opened the letter, as did Wang Jian.

Zhao Gao, who was at the side, was extremely curious, but he couldn’t peek at it.

He could only secretly observe the expressions of the two men, but he did not expect that the expressions of Qin Shi Huang and Wang Jian were very similar.

First they were stunned, then a smile slowly appeared on their faces.

Zhao Gao’s heart was instantly like a cat scratching.

After reading the letter, Qin Shi Huang seemed to have seen something extremely incredible and shook his head with a smile, saying

“This is really… This is really…”

Zhao Gao said at this point that

“Your Majesty, is there any happy news for General Meng?”

Qin Shi Huang ignored him, but looked at Wang Jian and said.

“What is it that makes Wu Cheng Hou so happy?”

Wang Jian said, with an old and happy heart.

“There is a successor to the military family, so naturally I am happy.”

Qin Shi Huang, with a slight twinkle in his eyes, said that

“What? Has the House of War made up its mind now?”

Wang Jian, as the head of the House of War, was also a minister of the Great Qin dynasty, but Qin Shi Huang knew that in the eyes of the House of War, the Great Qin, was not as important as the legacy of the House of War!

This included the School of Law as well!

The Great Qin might last for ten thousand years, but the School of War would continue to have a legacy as long as there was war!

So even if Wang Jian and Li Si were vassals of the Great Qin, it didn’t mean that Qin Shi Huang had subjugated the School of War and the School of Law!

On the contrary, it was the School of War and the School of Law that were using the Great Qin to fulfil their claims.

This is why, Li Si dared to speak up and ask him to print the legalist canon first.

But if, at the head of the family, were the prince, it would be a different matter altogether!

Wang Jian exhaled slowly and said that

“If Lang’er can pass the Way of Killing, this head of the House of War will naturally be his.”

Qin Shi Huang snorted coldly at this point, instead

“If Lang’er does pass, then is the House of War going to help him ascend to my position as well?”

Hearing these words, Zhao Gao at the side was instantly appalled!

He couldn’t understand why the two men were suddenly talking about this!

Wang Jian, however, did not flinch at this time, for he was now not Wang Jian, the Wu Cheng Hou, but Wang Jian, the head of the military school!

There is dignity in the Hundred Schools of War!

Wang Jian said indifferently.

“Your Majesty, today’s military schools have no idea about this position.”

“But what the next head of the House of War, what he thinks, I do not know.”

“But in any case, as long as it is an order from the head of the House of War, the men of the House of War, will definitely carry it out!”

When Qin Shi Huang heard this, he was almost bursting with rage and

“How dare you!”

All of a sudden, inside and outside the palace, countless guards marched in!

But Wang Jian was unafraid.

He waved his hand and all the guards retreated like a tidal wave.

“Wu Cheng Hou, you too should retreat.”

“By the way, don’t tell Meng Tian about the identity of Lang’er.”

Wang Jian bent down and saluted at this time, saying

“Yes, my old servant excuses himself.”

The manners were extremely well thought out, as if he had not been the one who had just had a hard time with Qin Shi Huang.

When Wang Jian left, Zhao Gao looked at Qin Shi Huang with extreme apprehension.

What happened today was not a good sign!

Just as he was about to go up and ask about the situation, he saw Qin Shi Huang suddenly burst out laughing and

“Hahahaha, good good good!”

“The head of the three families, the head of the three families! It’s just around the corner!”

Zhao Gao was stunned.

Hadn’t they just been arguing about each other?

How come all of a sudden…

Zhao Gao became even more curious about that letter.

Only after Qin Shi Huang finished laughing, he didn’t know what came to his mind and his face became slightly worried.

This first joy, then anger, then from joy to worry.

The unpredictability of the change in a short period of time only made Zhao Gao feel that his majesty was becoming more and more inscrutable.

His heart could not help but lift up.

Wang Jian and Li Si were protected by the identity of the pluralists, but he was not.

“Zhao Gao!”

“The old slave is here!”

Zhao Gao hastily shot to his feet.

“How much money is left in the inner sanctum?”

Zhao Gao froze for a moment and said that

“Your Majesty, only ten thousand taels of gold have been entered into this inner palace.”

The previous inner palace had long since been raided because of Zhao Lang.

It had only been a short time ago, and as the inner sanctum had its own expenses, having 10,000 taels was already extremely good.

Qin Shi Huang frowned and said.

“Ten thousand taels, I’m afraid Lang’er won’t be satisfied, give him all the manor houses in Liaodong.”

Zhao Gao was completely frozen in his tracks, the

“Your Majesty, Gongzi Lang has written to ask for money?”

He had been following Qin Shi Huang, he hadn’t seen a letter from Zhao Lang ah.

Qin Shi Huang touched his forehead and said with a little helplessness that

“Not yet, but it should be soon.”

Just from what he knew about Zhao Lang, that greedy nature, plus the fact that he had made achievements.

It would be strange if he didn’t write to ask for money!

Zhao Gao smiled and comforted that

“Your Majesty, are you worrying too much, Gongzi Lang he…”

Before he could finish his sentence, an attendant came in at the door to report that

“Your Majesty, there is someone outside the palace with your warrant requesting an audience.”

Qin Shi Huang sighed and

“Let him come in.”

Soon, Uncle Fu appeared in the doorway and

“Master of the house, a letter from Gongzi Lang. ”

Even though Zhao Gao had been through the world and was deep in the city, he now had only one thought in his mind.

“Damn it, absolutely!”
