In an instant, there was only silence inside the entire palace except for the breathing of the Black Ice Guards.
It was only after a while that Emperor Qin Shi Huang once again asked.
“What did you say?”
It wasn’t that he didn’t hear it, but he couldn’t believe it!
The Black Iceguard immediately said it again and
“Gaixia’s great victory! The land of Chu has been pacified!”
Zhao Gao also took the military report in the Black Ice Guard’s hand at this time, and then told the other party to back off.
It was still not good for others to see His Majesty’s loss of temper.
It was detrimental to the majesty.
Soon, Emperor Qin Shi Huang got the military newspaper in his hands, and after opening it, while looking at it, his complexion changed one after another.
Instead, Zhao Gao who was on the side looked a little confused.
Because the other party’s expression, not good to say happy, but also not unhappy.
It was extremely complicated.
He couldn’t get the other party’s mood, so it was not good for him to make a sound.
Originally, he waited for Emperor Qin Shi Huang to show him this military report afterwards and speculate a bit more before speaking.
But this time, after Qin Shi Huang finished reading it, he directly put away the military report and then said.
“Announce to the world that the Crown Prince has pacified the land of Chu, as a feat of destroying the country!”
“May the whole heaven celebrate with you!”
“Liaise with Lang’er, and when he returns, be sure to give him a grand triumphant ceremony.”
This was also a good way to boost the hearts of the people.
Zhao Gao quickly answered yes, then consciously retired.
Although he didn’t know what was going on, he could sense that this was a time when Emperor Qin Shi Huang needed to be alone.
Only after Zhao Gao left did Emperor Qin Shi Huang once again open the military report.
After reading it carefully, his brows furrowed slightly, nodding his head for a while, and shaking his head for a while.
Finally, he sat down with a bitter smile and said to himself.
“Wave child, putting the people on par with the noble ministers, you are trying to stab the sky!”
Before Great Qin, the world was actually owned by the royal family and nobles.
Or rather, it was the nobles’, because the royal family was, in a way, just the most powerful nobles.
But in any case, there was nothing in it for the people.
Now that Zhao Lang was paying so much attention to the people, the nobles of Great Qin knew about it and were afraid that they would be displeased.
Even if this time, the rebellion in the Chu land was pacified, the ones who sacrificed the most were actually the recruited peasant teams.
The ones who got the most credit were also them.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang could even foresee that not long from now, the Battle of Gaixia would also spread throughout the world.
However, no one would remember the armies of people who bled and died on the battlefield!
Whether it was the people, or the nobles, they would only say that His Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Minister Meng Yi were able to strategise and win the battle!
They would even mythologise Zhao Lang!
However, no one would care about that one insignificant peasant in the military formation!
Even more so, no one cared about those folk in the rear.
Everyone will only see the one who shines the brightest.
Which noble is willing to sit on an equal footing with the people?
Unless a way is found to elevate the status of the people.
Zhao Lang wanted to use such a method to warn the world to value the people, but it was difficult.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang sighed slightly, he could see the role of farmers, physicians, craftsmen and so on in this war.
But the world couldn’t see it and wouldn’t care.
As for the other things in the military report, he rather didn’t care.
The expulsion of Xiang Yu is just using the old plan of driving away tigers and swallowing wolves, with just a few changes.
Of course, from this, quite a lot of people and material resources can be saved.
The Chu land is also about to restore peace, the south is completely quiet this time, and there is also an additional trade route, so Qin can breathe a sigh of relief.
It can also free up its hands to defend itself against the Xiong Nu.
This group of beasts want to go south, but it is the wrong idea.
Qin Shi Huang’s heart was fuming.
“After two more years of rest and recuperation, the Xiong Nu will be completely exterminated by then!”
These days when the south was fighting the hardest, the Xiong Nu was also frequently attacking the Great Wall.
The various rations and supplies have not stopped, consuming a lot of his effort.
Fortunately, there is Mengtian in, both sides have mutual losses, with most of the area has been merged with the Great Wall, just eat a little loss.
It has to be said, Xiong Nu now claims to have 300,000 troops, to the Great Qin, there is still pressure.
On the grassland, without the Great Wall, a Hun on horseback could deal with two Great Qin infantrymen without any injury.
It’s quite insurmountable.
What’s more embarrassing is that the loss is still self-inflicted.
He had made quite a bit of black powder according to the recipe given by Zhao Lang.
During the Battle of Pengcheng, he saw the power of gunpowder.
Where could he hold back?
Directly let people transport some to the front line, the result, halfway to blow up a car.
A convoy of men, most of them dead.
Those who survived didn’t find the cause of the explosion.
The rest were shipped to the front, and no one else dared to use them.
Even if there was black powder, the other side wouldn’t be stupid enough to stand around and wait for you to blow it up.
The only way to do this is to recuperate and then form a cavalry and fight the other side hard!
Qin Shi Huang frowned slightly at the thought, just then a faint cheer came from outside the palace, the
“Long live Great Qin! Long live His Majesty! Long live the Crown Prince!”
Qin Shi Huang knew that this was the people of Xianyang cheering for the pacification of the Chu land, which brought out a smile.
In any case, Zhao Lang’s reputation was now fully established.
And it was still the most solid military prestige!
No one would dispute Zhao Lang’s position.
Now, it was just waiting for Zhao Lang to return, and he could finally get some rest.
Soon, Emperor Qin Shi Huang looked to the south.
The messengers who were ordered to report the success to the people also came out from Xianyang to spread the news to the world.
This represented the unification of Qin once again and the stability of the world.
It can stabilise the people.
Soon.
news of Gaixia’s great victory and the pacification of Chu spread in all directions.
At this time, inside the Crane School House.
There were also scholars who had heard the news, and all of them were extremely excited.
They also all knew now that Great Qin’s Crown Prince was the founder of this academy.
Everyone was discussing this matter, and the teachers didn’t stop them.
After all, Zhao Lang was also their leader.
Only in a small, inconspicuous courtyard, where the atmosphere was still calm, and even a little downcast, the
A few little old men in Daoist garb were sitting together with sad faces, the
“Alas, Old Huang, think of a new story, if we want to spread Taoism, we can’t do it with just this story.”
A little old man with a grey beard said to Old Taoist Yellowstone.
Old Taoist Yellowstone’s eyes glazed over and he said back.
“If you call me Old Huang again, we’re not done!”
“Besides, how can this story be so well thought out, there’s no rush in this matter first.”
“You’ve all heard about the Prince’s great victory.”
“I think that he will be returning soon, do you all still remember what he sent a letter to us before?”
The others nodded, and one of them said.
“It’s only natural for these soldiers who died in battle to become my Taoist Heavenly Soldiers.”
The others nodded their heads as well, they were not resistant to this matter to much.
It was only natural for the soldiers and soldiers of Huaxia to become the gods of Huaxia.
Old Taoist Yellowstone, however, said at this time with a slightly shaken look on his face.
“The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals are available, but what are you going to do about this Lord of Heaven?”
Hearing these words, the expressions of the others were somewhat subtle…
Old Taoist Yellowstone continued at this time, saying
“Although my Taoist family has never had a leader, but now, it is possible to have one, what do you think?”
The others all looked at each other slightly, then said in unison that
“Good!”
