At this point, the courtroom was already in an uproar.
Opposing voices were rising and falling.
Even the ministers of Confucianism, Legalism, and Militaryism, who wanted to support their own chiefs, couldn’t open their mouths.
It wasn’t that they were afraid of these ministers and nobles, but Zhao Lang’s plan was indeed a stupid move!
Looking at the chaotic scene below, Zhao Lang didn’t have the slightest idea of letting up.
At this moment, Zhao Gao who was on the side was watching anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.
Even gave a wink to the slave who was listening behind the curtain, and then took advantage of people not paying attention and threw the slave a fast token!
Whispered.
“Quickly go and invite His Majesty!”
This was a critical time now, Zhao Lang had only been on the throne as Supervisor for a short while, he definitely couldn’t turn his back on all the ministers!
He could only let His Majesty clean it up.
In the end, the Crown Prince is still too young, and his temperament for leading soldiers into battle is too hot.
How can he handle politics like this?
When the slave got the token, he hurried towards the palace.
Soon arriving at the palace, he held up the token given by Zhao Gao and made his way to the First Emperor.
Without even catching his breath, he hurriedly said.
“Your Majesty! The master is quarrelling with the ministers in the courtroom!”
Soon after, the slave warily explained the matter.
After hearing this, Emperor Qin Shi Huang then stood up with a direct frown and said.
“Zhao Gao didn’t stop either!”
“Men, change your clothes!”
Qin Shi Huang still had some urgency in his heart, when Zhao Lang had also told him that he could solve the problem of soldiers.
However, he didn’t expect Zhao Lang’s approach to be so radical.
However, he also knew that Zhao Lang was also forced to do so.
But even if he really wanted to do this, he should have let him do it!
The ministers and nobles in the courtroom today were mostly those who had fought with him against the six kingdoms in the first place, and had used their lives to make war achievements!
They have contributed to both him and Qin.
Even if Zhao Lang had his own talent pool, it would still take time!
If he really fell out with these ministers and aristocrats, how could he continue to supervise the state after Zhao Lang?
After changing into his coronation clothes, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had a serious look on his face as he made his way towards the court!
All the way to the court!
Within a short time, Emperor Qin Shi Huang reached the vicinity of the court hall, and from a long distance away, he heard a burst of clamour.
It seemed to be quite noisy.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s face then became more and more serious.
Today’s matter had to be dealt with.
Alas, Wave Child also has a nature that refuses to give in.
Arriving at the back of the court hall, which was where the emperor rested before going to court, the guards saluted when they saw Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang ignored this and walked directly towards the court hall, and soon he heard Zhao Lang loudly say.
“Right now our army has no source of soldiers! If we don’t conscript the people, who else can we conscript!”
“It’s better to let the people die on the battlefield and die for the country than to let the Huns barge in and then be killed at home!”
“How can I, a man of Great Qin, die in such a humiliating manner!”
“Such a death would be worse than that of a slave!”
“Could it be that my Great Qin’s people are still no better than those lowly slaves!!!”
The ministers and nobles in the courtroom did not budge in the face of Zhao Lang’s strong oppression!
They weren’t made of clay either!
It was just that they couldn’t think of too good a solution for a while, because what Zhao Lang said was the truth.
They could only stick their necks out and stare at Zhao Lang to show their attitude.
The atmosphere in the courtroom was extremely stiff!
Knowing that this was the look of both sides about to talk it out, Emperor Qin Shi Huang let out a slight breath as he was about to walk out.
Just then, a minister and nobleman listening to Zhao Lang’s words suddenly had a flash of insight and shouted.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince! Ministers! I know where there is still a source of soldiers!”
Hearing this, everyone looked over towards the minister and nobles, and the minister said, almost with a touch of excitement, that
“Slaves! Slaves! Those slaves!”
“There are more than 100,000 slaves in Xianyang and the surrounding counties. Discounting the old, weak, women and children among them, there are tens of thousands of young men!”
“If you count the entire Northern Lands! A hundred thousand slave youths must be there!”
Everyone froze, and everyone thought about something thoughtfully.
But there were still quite a few people who frowned slightly.
Indeed, it was still not a problem to gather 100,000 slave youths from the entire northern counties.
But these were the private property of their various nobles!
It’s just like livestock at home.
It’s all money.
Who wants to give away their money for nothing?
While hearing this, the Qin Shi Huang behind him violently stopped his steps that he had taken!
There was a moment of suspicion on his face, then he frowned in contemplation, and finally seemed to think of something, revealing a few moments of disbelief as he looked towards Zhao Lang’s back.
Then again, he retreated back.
Just when the crowd was in some difficulty, they once again heard Zhao Lang’s voice with a few hints of anger, and
“What are you talking about!”
“My Great Qin’s soldiers! What a noble! And what an honour!”
“You actually want these slaves to defile my Da Qin soldiers!”
“What a crime!”
These words directly angered everyone, they had never seen such an unaware monarch!
The ministers who had just been a little worried about their private property, angrily rebuked that
“Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t know what’s important!”
“Now that the northern part of Qin is in peril, it’s good to have someone available, so why get hung up on status!”
“Exactly! If we don’t use these slaves, do we want the people to die?”
But Zhao Lang didn’t let up at all, and continued to say that
“No way! Absolutely not! My Great Qin’s soldiers can only be recruited from my Great Qin’s people!”
“Only the people can serve my Qin!”
Seeing Zhao Lang repeatedly emphasise the word people, a minister couldn’t help but say.
“Since that’s the case, then the old minister will order this! Remove the slavery of my slaves!”
“Then they are also the people!”
The other ministers’ eyes lit up as well, and they all said that the
“Not bad! Exactly!”
Zhao Lang was also slightly stunned and seemed to be surprised.
When the ministers and nobles saw Zhao Lang’s expression, they couldn’t help but show a hint of smugness on their faces as well.
Hmph, this Crown Prince is still young in the end, and is still a bit young to want to fight with the likes of them.
Zhao Lang’s face was green for a while and white for a while at this time, as if he was making a final struggle, saying.
“You guys… Not true! What kind of people don’t even have a bit of property!”
“It’s still slaves!”
The previous minister-aristocrat said with a chesty voice at this time, the
“Who said there are no more? The old minister guarantees that by the time these slaves… No, it’s the people, when they go to join the army, they must have some property in their hands.”
The ministers also understood that this was to come out of their own pockets, but of course, they wouldn’t give too much.
So they all said.
“Not bad! These people will certainly have property in their hands!”
At this point, Zhao Lang seemed to be completely out of tricks, and was so exasperated that he stood up directly, saying that
“You guys! You guys!”
It seemed like he couldn’t even say all the words, and in the end, he could only ruthlessly say.
“Within one month, if these people cannot report to the local army!”
“Then the expropriation of the people will begin!”
That minister even said directly at this time that
“Not a month, just half a month!”
Hearing this, Zhao Lang’s face seemed to be about to become taut, and he directly flung his sleeve and left!
Looking at Zhao Lang’s exasperated appearance, all the ministers and nobles burst out laughing!
This time, it was them who had won!
