Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 83 The Discordant Voice
As the commander of Xianyang, Fan Dong naturally wanted to participate in the early court. He was standing in a position that was not far from Sima Xin.

Seeing that Sima Xin was standing still, Fan Dong took the initiative to lean on him to say hello, "Oh, good morning, Master Sima, yesterday you and Master Zhang showed the great power of Qin Guowei, admiration!"

Xianyang Order and Dianke Mansion belong to the same level of yamen, but the status of Xianyang Order is obviously higher than that of Dianke Changshi.

But Sima Xin is now in charge of Dian Ke Yin, which is equivalent to being on the same level as Fan Dong, which makes Fan Dong's mind quicker.

Sima Xin was just an inconspicuous long history beside Fan Dong, and he might lose his job at any time.

But now that he is on the rise, maybe he will soon become a famous guest in Jiuqing. This speed of promotion suddenly made Fan Dong see the situation clearly, and he wanted to make friends with Sima Xin and move closer to the prince.

Fan Dong was injured at home for a few days, and the trauma caused by Ying Zheng was serious, but in fact he recovered soon after being raised, but there were large bruises on his face, which looked disgusting.

Therefore, when standing and talking with Sima Xin, Fan Dong didn't dare to smile with him, because it hurt too much.

"Lord Sima, when we were working together, I never treated you badly. Now that you have risen to the top, you will need your kind words in front of the prince from now on, haha..."

Of course Sima Xin understood the meaning of Fan Dong's words, he nodded perfunctorily and said haha, but at this moment, Sima Xin saw a figure approaching from a distance, his expression changed suddenly, and he hurried towards that person.

Zhao Yi yawned and walked over stretched. This was another early morning when he couldn't sleep well.

He has traveled to Daqin as the prince, and he can't sleep until he wakes up naturally. Zhao Yi feels that he has failed too much.

Seeing Sima Xin approaching, Zhao Yi knew what was going on, so Sima Xin began to report the results to him without asking.

"Your Highness, a total of 160 people from Donghu were arrested yesterday, of which 140 people were killed on the spot. The statistics after the event are all without omission. This is the Tiger Talisman entrusted to you by Master Zhang. Please show it to Your Highness."

Zhao Yi did not take the tiger charm and yawned again, "Okay, the errand was done well. I will tell you this in the morning. Seize the opportunity yourself. Whether you can be a pawnbroker or not depends on your performance next time."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Sima Xin suddenly beamed with joy, and thanked Zhao Yi repeatedly.

In Sima Xin's view, the prince was kind to him and supported him again and again. He must perform well and never disappoint the prince's expectations.

But in fact, Zhao Yi didn't mean that at all, he just wanted to doze off a little longer in the early morning, lest Mr. Ying Zheng call his name and disturb his sleep!
Not long after, the chamberlain announced that the emperor had arrived, and all the ministers entered one after another and kowtowed according to the etiquette.

Zhao Yi followed the group of officials with a helpless expression, and it was as perfunctory as it really was.

Of course, he was the only one like this, and no one picked on him. After all, it was Ying Zheng who allowed him to break the rules.

And Sima Xin was really serious and rigid, and he did it extra carefully. This is the result of almost the whole night he specially invited someone to learn it last night. After performing the kowtow, Sima Xin still felt infinitely honored, so Zhao Yi rolled his eyes for a while.

"My lords, I am very happy today. General Meng Tian led my army of 30 tigers and wolves from the Great Qin Dynasty in the north to fight the Xiongnu on the grassland. They won a complete victory and drove the Xiongnu hundreds of miles north of Helan Mountain and Yinshan Mountain. Besides, this is the glory of my Great Qin!"

"I want to reward the soldiers of the Great Qin..." Ying Zheng said, standing up.

"The minister waits to congratulate Your Majesty, Great Qin Wansheng, Long live Your Majesty..." All the ministers knelt down again, leaving Zhao Yi who was about to take a nap speechless.

[You have such a brain for clubbing, this old guy can’t wait for Meng Tian to come back to start this whole thing. If he has to do this now, I won’t even be able to sleep well! 】

[Besides, the battle in the North was fought by Meng Tian. Why do you keep looking at me? 】

【Oh, yes, the tiger talisman is still with me, so you should have said it earlier. If I return the tiger talisman to you, it will be over. Treat me as a rarity! 】

[Hurry up, don't mess around with me, I still want to have a good sleep! 】

Zhao Yi complained frantically in his heart, but Ying Zheng laughed it off, and couldn't help but slander Zhao Yi.

This rebellious son doesn't understand anything, if it wasn't for him, how could I have allowed Meng Tian to fight the Huns?
If it weren't for Zhao Yi's ingenious plan, this battle would never have been won so easily, so the hero of this battle must undoubtedly be Zhao Yi, but the problem is that there is no way to reward it!

There was a chorus of praise in the court hall, but at the end, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.

"Your Majesty, I have a script to start this memorial!" Feng Jing, the young minister of Taiwei Mansion, stepped forward and knelt down.

"Well, come on." Ying Zheng was in a good mood, and with a wave of his hand, the whole hall fell silent instantly.

Feng Jing stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Qizuo, there was a great chaos in Xianyang City yesterday, Dianke Mansion unexpectedly arrested all Donghu envoys in the city overnight, and massacred those who resisted wantonly."

"At this time, regardless of whether it will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the Dianke Mansion actually mobilized the capital's troops without authorization. I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the Dianke Mansion's crime of treason!"

Buzz - Feng Jing's words quickly caused an uproar in the court.

What Dianke Mansion did yesterday indeed caused a lot of commotion in Xianyang City, but almost everyone knows that yesterday was a joint operation between Heibingtai and Dianke Mansion. I heard that tiger talismans were also used. How did Taiwei Mansion do this? have no idea?

If this is true, then it is a rebellion by the Dianke Mansion. After all, it is a felony to transfer troops without a soldier talisman.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Sima Xin, because he was the only person involved in the court at this moment, and Zhang Han was not here.

It was the first time that Sima Xin was stared at by so many people. Although he was confident, he was still a little nervous and subconsciously looked at Prince Zhao Yi.

In the end, it was okay not to look at it, but after seeing it, Sima Xin wanted to swear.

He was so nervous that he could hardly breathe, and the crown prince was actually dozing off, it was really terrible!
Could it be that this is the gap between himself and the prince, under this kind of censure, the prince can still sleep, Sima Xin didn't know whether he should admire the prince or should slander him more.

"So that's the matter." Ying Zheng smiled slightly, "Who presided over the Dianke Mansion's actions yesterday?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's a humble minister!" Sima Xin didn't dare to be negligent when he heard the words, and hurried out of the class and knelt down.

"For the mobilization of soldiers in the city, His Royal Highness, the minister Shangguan, used His Majesty's Tiger Talisman. Using His Majesty's Tiger Talisman to mobilize troops, according to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, there is no need to report to the Taiwei's Mansion. Master Feng, are you right?"
