In the court.
As Qin Zheng's words fell, all the civil and military officials in the court, except Fu Ling, looked bewildered.
They didn't know who this Xu Shu was.
After all.
When they saw Xu Shu standing under the hall, their pupils all contracted slightly.
“Hiss...”
“A Saint King?”
“Or a Wen Dao cultivator? His Wen Dao aura is unfathomable, this this this...”
“When did our court have such a great talent?”
If it had been before, they would have had some opinions in their hearts and planned to make a few remonstrances.
But after realizing that this.
The unprecedented existence was actually a Saint King, in addition to a Wen Dao giant.
Immediately.
They gave up their plans to remonstrate. While shocked, they became even more excited.
This was a Saint King.
Who dared to question His Majesty and let a Saint King take charge of the Black Ice Platform?
Wasn't that looking for death?
Besides.
This person was also a Wen Dao giant. His Wen Dao aura was even more terrifying than the Prime Minister's.
Who dared to offend such an existence?
“This minister accepts the decree with gratitude.”
Under the shock of all the civil and military officials, Xu Shu's expression turned serious, and he respectfully accepted the decree with gratitude.
But before he could step back.
Qin Zheng continued, “I further appoint you as the Minister of War, to take office in the Ministry of War.”
“Hiss...”
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the court, without exception, all gasped in unison.
The look they gave Xu Shu also changed subtly.
You know.
This was the first time this person had appeared in court, yet His Majesty had entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility.
Such favor was truly enviable.
“Alas!”
Compared to the envy of other ministers, Yang Shun, the Minister of War, sighed without a trace, and looked at Xu Shu standing under the hall with some complexity.
Working in the same Ministry of War.
He didn't know how he would get along with this person in the future. If they disagreed.
Whose opinion would he follow?
After all.
He was the Minister of War, and logically speaking, this person should be his subordinate in the Ministry of War.
But how could he.
Treat him as a subordinate?
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Under Yang Shun's complex expression, Xu Shu thanked him again, and then returned to the side of the civil officials.
The ministers around him.
At this moment, they all smiled and congratulated him, bowing to him, “Congratulations, Minister Xu.”
Xu Shu saw them, and also returned the courtesy to all of them.
As for Qin Zheng.
After announcing the appointment of Xu Shu, he turned his gaze to Meng Tian, who was on the side of the military officials.
However, he did not directly grant him a reward.
Instead, he said coldly, “Regarding the fact that the five transcendent forces of the Xuan Domain have invaded our court together.”
“All of you.”
“Do you have any opinions?”
Qin Zheng's words made all the civil and military officials in the court, their faces all took on a hint of coldness.
In their eyes, anger arose again.
Boom!
At this moment, a powerful aura rose from the court, soaring into the sky.
It caused the entire sky above Xianyang to rumble and shake.
To this.
Qin Zheng didn't dislike it. The Qin Dynasty, passed down to this day, had always adhered to the principle of establishing the court through martial arts.
There weren't many rules.
In Xianyang, there was no such thing as a ban on martial arts, at most, those above the Saint Realm.
They were not allowed to release their aura without reason, alarming the people.
As well as not allowed to walk on air without reason.
“Reporting to Your Majesty.”
Amidst the anger of many ministers, Tai Wei Fu Ling stepped out and reported respectfully, “This old minister thinks that the battle at Tianmen Pass was just their probing.”
The old Tai Wei's words.
Made all the civil and military officials in the court slightly stunned.
“Probing?”
Such a huge commotion, and the Tai Wei actually said that it was just probing?
For a moment, all the civil and military officials were a little terrified.
If this was just probing, what would be terrifying when they really made their move?
“Continue.”
Qin Zheng listened, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He let Fu Ling continue.
“Yes.”
Fu Ling, upon receiving the indication, his expression turned solemn.
He continued, “In the battle of Tianmen Pass, the five transcendent forces seemed to come with great momentum, but the true elite armies of the three great dynasties did not appear.”
“The disciples from the two great holy lands who came.”
“Were mostly ordinary disciples, except for the appearance of the Saint Son of the Tian Heng Holy Land.”
“Other geniuses, such as true disciples, were not seen at all.”
“Therefore, it is clear.”
“This battle was just a test of our court by them. If Tianmen Pass falls, they will be able to advance, completely subvert our court, swallow it up and divide it up. If our court defends it, they will temporarily stand down and observe our court’s actions.”
Having said this, Fu Ling paused.
He took a deep breath and looked at Qin Zheng with full respect.
“Fortunately.”
“Your Majesty's might is unparalleled. General Gao Shun and the Invincible Formation are invincible in the world, they slaughtered all the invading enemies outside Tianmen Pass, allowing the world to once again recognize that the great Qin’s majesty is awe-inspiring and cannot be violated.”
These words made all the civil and military officials.
They all became excited, and the scenes of the battle at Tianmen Pass appeared in their minds.
They didn't know.
After receiving the news of the victory at Tianmen Pass, how excited they were!
Many generals wished.
To rush directly to Tianmen Pass, charge and fight alongside the Invincible Formation, and annihilate the invading enemy.
“However.”
Just as all the civil and military officials were filled with excitement.
Fu Ling changed the subject, frowning, “Even if the battle of Tianmen Pass made the five transcendent forces somewhat wary of our court, it was just wary.”
“According to the past domineering of our court.”
“If there are no measures to settle the cause and effect of this battle in the near future, I’m afraid it won’t be long before they will lead their armies to press our border again. By then, the real bottom power of the five transcendent forces will be faced, and our court will be unable to withstand it.”
Fu Ling's words.
Like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguished the excitement that had just surged in the hearts of all the civil and military officials. They all frowned tightly, pondering the possibility of this matter.
Many ministers.
Their faces turned slightly pale and they were filled with fear.
“It seems.”
“This Tai Wei's insight is also very sharp.”
Xu Shu looked at Fu Ling who was analyzing reasonably under the hall, and nodded slightly.
This.
He had naturally seen it long ago and had discussed it with His Majesty. He was also planning to use this as an excuse to send troops today.
By the way, he would also shut the mouths of the conservative ministers and force them to cooperate with all their strength.
On the throne.
After Fu Ling finished speaking, Qin Zheng once again swept his gaze across the ministers in the court.
He said calmly, “Therefore, do you have any solutions to break this deadlock?”
