Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh want to marry the princess(1/2)

Seeing that Li Shui and Li Xin conquered the Peacock Kingdom and the Hun Kingdom became a fact, some court officials were a little unable to sit still.

Several people coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think... this matter should be verified again. After all, the Peacock Kingdom and the Hun Kingdom are thousands of miles away from the Qin Dynasty. If someone makes up some information randomly, wouldn't it be...hehe?"

Li Shui stared at the man with his eyes: "Isn't it good for you to just say that I'm lying about military information?"

The court official did not dare to fight Li Shui head-on, shrank his neck and laughed dryly: "I didn't say it was a banished immortal. But this is not a bad thing to be cautious."

Li Shui said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to solve the doubts of these adults."

Ying Zheng asked, "What are you going to do?"

Li Shui said: "The so-called hearing is false, and seeing is true. No matter how I explain it today, these court officials may not believe it. The only way is to ask them to come and see the situation of the Peacock Kingdom and the Hun Kingdom with their own eyes. In this way, they naturally believe it."

Ying Zheng nodded slowly.

But these court officials were a little panicked: Go to the Peacock Kingdom? Go to the Hun Kingdom? At such a long distance, wouldn’t you have to die halfway?

Someone immediately said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the old minister is naturally willing to see the places where the banished immortal and General Li have just conquered. However... However, the old minister has an official position and has to deal with many government affairs in the court every day. If he just goes to Peacock Kingdom like this, he may not be able to come back for a year or two. Then the political affairs in the court will be abandoned?"

Li Shui smiled and said, "Sir, you're over-concerned."

The courtiers stared at Li Shui nervously.

Li Shui smiled and said, "Now the imperial examination is getting more and more complete, and talents from all over the world are pouring into the court. The last time the people who passed the imperial examination have been studying in the court for a while."

"Isn't it beautiful that the positions you have vacant are just enough to give them a shot. They will kill multiple deaths in one fell swoop?"

All these court officials were so angry that they stared at each other.

Some people trembled and said, "Is the Exiled Immortal? Is it going to remove my official positions?"

Li Shui shook his head: "How is this possible? You have worked hard and made great contributions, how can you be punished without guilt?"

The courtiers breathed a little relieved.

However, they are still a little unhappy. Even if they can maintain their official position, they may be undermined? The exiled immortals valued the young people who came to the imperial examination. Although they were the name of being an official, they did not have real power. What is the difference between not being an official?

At this time, Li Shui said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I suggest sending these adults to the Peacock Kingdom and the Hun Kingdom."

"It just so happens that they are all used to being officials and have quite some experience in governing. And keeping their official positions and titles is not considered a demotion. It's simply killing two birds with one stone."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "Good."

The court officials were almost crying. The banished immortal was really harmful to others. With a light sentence, he sent someone thousands of miles away?

They said to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister is innocent. Why do you exil to that wild land?"

Ying Zheng said lightly: "It is said that the Peacock Kingdom is not a wild land. What's more, I have decided to set up counties in the Peacock Kingdom, and there will always be someone to guard it."

In a word, these court officials had nothing to say.

There must be someone to guard the city, so... Your Majesty has to choose a group of people no matter what. And these people are the unlucky guys selected.

Ying Zheng said to Li Shui: "You know more about the Peacock Kingdom. You can draw up a list based on the mountains, rivers, terrain, customs and customs over there to see who should be sent and what position they hold."

Li Shui responded with a smile.

Ying Zheng looked at the court officials and said lightly: "After you go back, think about it and see what rewards should be given to the exiled immortal and General Li."

Then, Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and Li Xin with satisfaction and returned to the palace.

The courtiers did not leave, they kept looking at Li Shui carefully.

Li Shui coughed gently and looked at Zhou Qingchen: "Brother Zhou, are you someone who chooses?"

Zhou Qingchen smiled slightly and took out a piece of paper from his arms: "It just so happens that I have a list here, I don't know if the exiled immortal can be used."

Li Shui took the list and flipped it out and found that the list was done very carefully.

They all recently submitted memorials to the emperor and impeached Li Shui and Li Xin's court officials. And according to the number of memorials, they were arranged in a sequence.

Li Shui nodded with satisfaction.

A sharp-eyed man quietly approached Li Shui, glanced at the list, and his face turned pale.

Soon, the content of the list spread among the court officials.

The court officials all changed their faces and said to Li Shui with a sarcastic voice: "Exiled Immortal, I am proud of my own. I am nearly seventy years old and I am really unable to bear the bumps."

Li Shui smiled slightly: "Don't worry, sir, I have already prepared to build a railway to the Peacock Kingdom."

The courtiers were all amused and crying.

Building a railway? Is that something that can be done overnight?

A few months ago, the railway to Xianyang City started construction, but hasn't it been built yet now?

Wait until the Zhangmen has completed the railway before going to Peacock Kingdom? I'm afraid the emperor will not agree, right?

Seeing that these court officials were still entangled, Li Shui coughed dryly and pointed to Li Xin not far away: "General Li has the final say in this matter."

Then, Li Shui stuffed the list into Li Xin's hands.

Li Xin looked at the list and then the introduction to the list, and his hands suddenly became itchy.

The courtiers surrounded Li Xin and kept saying good things.

Li Xin looked at the court officials and said quietly: "Everyone, did he do something wrong when you say a general who led his troops outside to fight?"

The courtiers shook their heads vigorously.

Li Xin said again: "This general fought wits but not with force, and did not have bloodshed. He destroyed two major powers and then sent good news to the court. Did he do something wrong?"

The courtiers still shook their heads.

Li Xin said quietly: "Since he did nothing wrong, why do you impeach him?"

The court officials said with a bitter face: "We did it, please be generous to General Li."

Li Xin sighed: "Didn't I ever be magnanimous in the past?"

"I, Li Xin, fought all my life and made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, but what did you do in the court? I would make fun of me from time to time."

"It can be seen from this that being magnanimous cannot bring respect."

The courtiers asked weakly: "What are the plans for General Li?"

Li Xin rubbed his hands: "Let me slap you each. Those who have been slapped in the face will not have to go."

These court officials were immediately furious: "General Li, how can you do this?"

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. I am old, how can I let someone slap it?"

"I have been an official for generations and have worked hard and made great contributions..."

Li Xin waved his hand impatiently: "You all want to be slapped by me. Even if you come to the mansion to find me. If you don't like it, then go to Peacock Kingdom. Goodbye."

Li Xin bowed his hand, put the list in his arms, and left with a smile.

The court officials looked at Li Shui, and Li Shui said helplessly: "I am helpless."

Afterwards, Li Shui walked towards Shangjun Villa.

These court officials gathered outside Xianyang City for a while, looked at each other in a glance, and finally shook their heads helplessly and dispersed.

Fu Yao was waiting in Shangjun Villa.

When he saw Li Shui coming back, he hurriedly said, "Master, I haven't seen you for several months, don't come and have a good time?"

Li Shui said with a smile: "Very good. How are you doing in Xianyang City?"

Fu Yao thought for a while and whispered: "In my opinion, my father may have to make me the crown prince."

Li Shui was slightly stunned: "Are you sure?"

Fu Yao nodded: "I have such a premonition."

Li Shui asked again: "Where did your premonition come from?"

Fu Yao said: "When my father was having dinner yesterday, he ate a plate of venison and found it very delicious, so he specially ordered someone to deliver it to me."

Li Shui: "...this is it?"

Fu Yao looked at Li Shui in confusion: "Isn't this enough?"

Li Shui was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered that in the ancient imperial family, there were many things that were particular. Ying Zheng sent venison to Fu Yao, perhaps it was a very special hint.

So he nodded and said to Fu Yao: "Are you ready?"

Fu Yao slowly shook his head: "Not yet. I don't know how to command the Qin Dynasty."

Li Shui said: "After becoming the prince, I will learn well by your side. It is actually not difficult to be an emperor."

"As long as you know how to control your subjects, you can be a good emperor. If you can practice it and understand the world, you can avoid being deceived by your subjects and become a wise ruler."

Fu Yao widened his eyes: "Is it that simple?"

Li Shui smiled: "It's that simple."

Fu Yao suddenly took out paper and pen from his arms and wrote down Li Shui's words.

Li Shui coughed dryly, pretended to be absent-minded, and asked, "How are your sister doing well recently?"

Fu Yao exclaimed and looked at Li Shui with a puzzled look.
