After the two teams in the court sent their younger brothers to argue, the big guys finally started to appear.

The young man in a brocade robe first went out to work and bowed: "I think it was inappropriate to say it before."

They were all small officials before, so the King of Qin had no interest in paying attention, but now this wealthy man is the young man in Qin State and is ranked among the nine ministers, so naturally he can no longer pretend to be a wooden man.

"Oh? What are the ideas of the Shaofu? It's okay to say."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Yin Shi finished speaking, he turned to the doctor Xiao Tiande, opposite him, because this was not mainly for the King of Qin, but for Xiao Tiande. "I think that Xiao Bihe has made great contributions this time, and the palace should have some rewards. However, the rewards cannot be passed, and the rewards must be excessive. In previous years, there were fixed rewards and punishments for national destiny tasks, and rashly overturning the real numbers was not wise. Therefore, I think that if the rules of previous years were issued, the king would give some rewards in person."

The so-called honor is actually the same as issuing a certificate. It can be displayed when taken out, but if you want to say that it has any substantial purpose... it cannot be completely useless, but the formal effect is far greater than the substance.

Xiao Tiande on the opposite side became popular as soon as he heard this. Xiao Bihe is his nephew. The old man Yin Shi actually wanted to expose such a great contribution with a reward. This is really unbearable.

"Thank you to Your Majesty. Xiao Bi is my nephew. I should have avoided suspicion, but the young master's opinion is too biased and I can't bear it. In previous years, my country's total revenue of gold bricks was only thirty or fifty yuan. Now my nephew has brought back nearly three times the number at a time. Such a wonderful achievement is a reward for one word. It really makes the hearts of young monks, king!"

The King of Qin did not speak, but instead shook the Zhongchangshi who was standing beside him with his eyes.

When Zhongchangshi saw this look, he immediately stood up. "What Mr. Xiao said is reasonable. Additional rewards must be given and cannot be mentioned in one sentence. But how should we pay the rewards? Do you have any ideas?"

"I think that rewards should be based on what needs are. This time the merit is not the result of my nephew's own merit, but the result of the joint efforts of a group of young monks. Therefore, the reward should be rewarded to everyone. However, monks are not suitable for rewarding official positions and money. This is our need, not what monks think. This time, they should be rewarded with treasures, spiritual objects, demon pets, etc. If the merit is greater, they can also be given together with titles."

"Bold Xiao Tiande." Grand Marshal Guan De angrily rebuked: "Our dynasty must be rewarded with military merits. This is the ancestral system. How dare you lure the king to reward him with titles? What is your intention?"

"Your words are wrong, Mr. Taiwei,..."

“…”

It was like a firecracker. The three masters and nine ministers and a group of big men no longer cared about their image and started to fight hard.

"What's the point of being clamoring in the hall?" The noise below was so loud that a man suddenly stood up and scolded. Although the sound was not loud, the officials in the court who were almost going to start the entire martial arts ritual immediately became quiet.

The people of Qin were fierce and extremely martial. Although these officials in the court were all dressed as standard officials, they were actually fierce people after taking off the court. The King of Qin was awarded titles for his military achievements, so even civil officials and generals in China could lead troops to fight. Even civil officials had some skills. Those who could not hold their shoulders and resist were rare in Qin.

However, it was precisely because this group of civil and military officials were strong enough that they showed the dignity and majesty of speaking. They actually calmed everyone down with just one sentence.

Li Si stood under the jade steps, turned his back to the King of Qin, and angrily scolded: "You are all officials of my Great Qin, how can you be so clamoring in the court?"

The officials below bent down, and no one dared to contradict him. Not only because of Li Si's prestige, but more importantly, they were in the wrong, and the King of Qin was sitting on it. Li Si was actually scolding them for the king, so he naturally couldn't say anything back.

"Master Guan."

Guan De quickly clasped his fists and looked as if he was humbly taught.

"Mr. Xiao is right or wrong, and it is also an opinion. This is the time for everyone to discuss. How can you accuse and attack Master Xiao for this?"

Guan De bent his waist lower, "I know I'm wrong." As he said that, he immediately turned around and bowed to Xiao Tiande: "It was me who was impulsive just now, please forgive me." As one of the three masters, how can you do not have the ability to bend and stretch?

Xiao Tiande was not able to continue to attack at this time, and expressed that he accepted the other party's apology, and this matter was revealed. The Xiao Dynasty will start the negotiation process again under the auspices of Li Si, but the final reward is still difficult to make a conclusion, because the Nine Princess represented by Guan De in the court and the Big Princes represented by Xiao Tiande are too obvious and cannot be unified.

The King of Qin usually chose one of the many choices provided by the ministers to make a decision. However, the opinions of the two sides were completely opposed this time, and there was no room for maneuver. The King of Qin was not going to force himself. Finally, he saw that it was getting too late, so he could only signal that this issue was put aside for the time being before discussing it. Anyway, the specific reward would have to wait five days later, and if necessary, it would be fine if it was delayed for two or three days.

Neither of the two groups of people did what they wanted. When they left the court, they glared at each other and didn't speak until they separated outside the palace gate.

Guan De grabbed the young mansion who was about to leave, and managed Su Nei Shi Yin Lu and Wei Wei Wei Mu, and then called the Censor Lu Tianzheng together. "Several people, what should we do about this matter?"

Lu Tianzheng said with a beard, "It's a coincidence that I didn't have time to tell you. Actually, before the court meeting began, I received an urgent report from my home. There should be a turnaround here for the Ninth Princess."

"Oh?" Everyone else was excited when they heard this. Mu Yan asked anxiously: "What is the specific situation? Could it be that the princess has won something in Tang State?"

"There are some gains, but not many. The data of this change was said to be brought by a team recruited by the princess. I don't know the details. I came in a hurry and just received a message."

"Why don't we go to your mansion together to listen?" Yin Lu suggested.

Lu Tianzheng shook his head and said, "No, let's go to Bai Mansion together."

"General Bai's Mansion?" Guan De immediately thought of something, "Is it the girls of the Bai family..."

"I don't know the specifics, so I'd better ask."

Although Bai Qi is considered to be the Ying Ying group, he is different from Guan De and others. Because Bai Qi is a pure military general and has a high reputation. In order not to arouse the fear of the King of Qin, he will not participate in the court and military affairs unless there is a war. At present, his work is to supervise the strengthening of training of the army around the royal city, plus a concentrated training of a young man with good cultivation qualifications who is regularly selected to the whole country every year, and there is no serious matter.

It is precisely because of Bai Qi's identity that there was no Bai Qi in the court just now. He would not go to court unless there was something wrong or the King of Qin specifically ordered him.

Because of the Qin Dynasty's method of selecting crown princes, the Qin King did not prohibit officials from taking sides openly, so Guan De and others did not shy away from it. They went to Bai Mansion openly, which would not be easy to criticize.

Xiao Bi and they arrived outside the royal city early in the morning, but there was a concise process for presenting gifts. They could only meet the King of Qin and present the gold bricks after the king was put out. When the ceremony was over, it was already noon for the King of Qin to bring everyone back to the palace. In the afternoon, a group of people were busy quarreling and wanted to gain some advantages for their side. Then the sky was almost dark in the Bai Mansion.

Bai Qi received the notification from the butler Guan De and the others came and hurried to the living room. As soon as he came in, he smiled and said, "Did you come here at this time? Have you made up your mind to have a meal here?"

"We think, but you, Bai Mansion, must have something to eat." Yin Lu joked with Bai Qi with a smile.

When Bai Qi was originally joked like this, he would probably have to be silent because there was really nothing delicious in the Bai Mansion. He was a general and his family was a small military camp. Even the chefs were brought out from the army, so the taste of the dishes they made was naturally impossible to compare with those professional chefs. Therefore, the food in the Bai Mansion has always been a joke among the upper-class powerful people of Qin.

But this time the situation was different. Yin Lu just finished joking and heard Bai Qi say, "I have really prepared a lot of good things today, let me do it."

A group of officials were surprised at what happened to Bai Qi. They followed him suspiciously to the backyard. However, the place they went to was not the warm pavilion where they used to come here to have dinner, but directly to the small courtyard next to Bai Qi's usual study. This is the place where Bai Qi's office was bored and had activities. There was no water pavilion garden, it was just a small martial arts performance venue. Bai Qi often practiced boxing and feet here.

However, today it seems quite lively. There are more than 30 people gathered in the small martial arts performance field, which is not very large, which can almost be said to be full. However, what surprised Guan De and the others even more was that they actually found Ying Ying in it.

"Nine Princess." Seeing Ying Ying, a group of officials were about to salute.

Ying Ying dragged it a little and didn't let them go. "You don't have to be polite. This is a small gathering, so don't care about the common etiquette."

"Thank you Princess." Everyone relaxed after singing the promise. Lu Zhengyi didn't have the opportunity to ask until this time: "I received a message from my family that the princess brought back good news, but I don't know what the situation is?"

"There is good news, but the real good news is still behind." Ying Ying said as she suddenly stretched out her hand to the small martial arts court. The monks who were originally gathered here immediately set a gap so that the adults on the outer corridor could see the situation in the center of the venue.

As soon as Guan De and the others saw the situation in the center of the venue, they immediately sucked the air conditioner. Many people rubbed their eyes without believing in it. Finally, they couldn't help but run down the corridor and stumbled into the venue and reached out to touch the pile of black squares.

"This... are all gold bricks?" Yin Shi asked Bai Qi in conviction with a gold brick in her arms.

Bai Qi also simply slashed the weapon next to him and pulled a knife to slash the gold bricks. As a result, with a tingling sound, the blade broke and fell to the ground. Looking at the gold bricks again, it was so complete that it didn't even leave a mark.

"Apart from the golden bricks, what else can be so hard in the world?" Bai Qi asked with a smile when he threw away the broken blade.

Needless to say, the pile of gold bricks in front of me are definitely real.

In fact, it’s not that they don’t believe it, but that they are too excited and happy, and they can’t believe it for a while. However, holding it in their hands, you can confirm that it is really a gold brick. After all, let’s not talk about hardness or something. If such a big thing can be so heavy, there are really no similar items in the world except gold bricks.

"How many of these are there?" As a matter of being one of the three masters, Lu Tianzheng was the first to react and asked Ying Ying.

Xiao Bihe brought back 143 gold bricks, and Ying Ying would still be suppressed if she could not exceed this number.

"There are 73 yuan in total." Ying Ying said proudly.

"That's the point?" Lu Tianzheng realized that his words were wrong as soon as he finished speaking, and quickly added: "No, princess, I didn't say you brought too little back. According to the number of previous years, this has been considered a great harvest. But do you know that the king left the city at noon to receive gifts?"

Ying Ying nodded in confusion. "Of course I know this, but we have been busy transporting the gold bricks in secret and did not pay attention to the gift. What? Could it be that the gift I received from my father at noon was the gold bricks?"

Lu Tianzheng nodded. "Yes, the gift that the king accepted was the gold brick."

Ying Ying suddenly had a bad premonition. "Is it because the other party brought back a lot of gold bricks?"

"143 yuan." Yin Shi couldn't help but report the numbers directly, and the scene was in an uproar. The people present were busy transporting the gold bricks to the city one day, intending to let Ying Ying quietly tell the King of Qin to give him a surprise at night. After all, compared with the eldest prince Ying Hai, Ying Ying still has some advantages as a daughter in this Qin State, which does not discriminate against women. At least Ying Ying can act coquettishly with the King of Qin, but Ying Hai cannot. So if Ying Ying informed the King of Qin as his daughter, the bonus points in the King of Qin's heart would obviously be higher than the effect of directly reporting in public.

Unfortunately, all plans have now become vain, because the number of 143 gold bricks is really overwhelming for everyone.

A monk who followed Ying Ying to Tang State said angrily: "No wonder Ying Hai's people left us and ran away first after halfway through the implementation of the plan. It turned out to be for this batch of gold bricks!"

"That's it. If they hadn't suddenly abandoned us and disrupted our plan, our success wouldn't have been just that."

The complaints never ended at the beginning, and there was a tendency to be intensified. But Ying Ying suddenly raised her hand and grabbed it in the void, and the sound at the scene disappeared immediately. This shows how high Ying Ying's prestige among her supporters.

Compared with Ying Hai's mercenary-like subordinates, Ying Ying's troops are more like an army willing to die on the battlefield for the king. However, who can inherit the throne ultimately depends on the idea of ​​the King of Qin. In this national destiny mission, Ying Ying knew that he was obviously defeated. It was almost twice the number. How to fill this gap?

"Princess, we have more than 73 gold bricks here." Just after everyone calmed down, Bai Bingyu's voice suddenly rang among the crowd.

Ying Ying was originally annoyed to let everyone silence, and wanted to think carefully about what to do next, but unexpectedly, she suddenly heard such an answer.

"What did you say?"

"I said we have more than 73 gold bricks."

"Bingyu, you can't talk nonsense at this time." Bai Qi reminded him seriously.

Bai Bingyu nodded to Bai Qi, then walked to Ying Ying and said, "Princess Ninth Princess, have you forgotten our surprise soldier?"

"Shock?" Lu Tianzheng asked quickly: "Princess Ninth Princess, you divided your team into two groups? There is another group of people who have not returned?"

Ying Ying did not answer Lu Tianzheng immediately, but asked Bai Bingyu first: "What is your victory? Tianyou grabbed the golden brick?"

Bai Bingyu waved backwards, and the remaining four sisters immediately walked over with two trays. "These are 18 gold bricks brought out from the Taimiao of Zhao State."

Lu Tianzheng frowned and said, "The 18 yuan is still not enough!"

"No, I'm very satisfied with these 91 gold bricks. Everyone did a good job this year. This time we just lost to luck. Next time, next year, we will have another mission of Warring States Period and will definitely avenge our previous shame."

"good……"

The originally quiet small martial arts venue suddenly burst into a shocking roar. All the monks rekindled their fighting spirit and shouted excitedly, as if they no longer cared about the little regret this time.

Lu Tianzheng, who was already worried, looked at the group of monks who were shouting with Ying Ying, and was also satisfied with his beard and said, "Yes, if you have such appeal, what is the gain or loss of one or two times? We are so stubborn!"

Several other officials also nodded and smiled. From the moment they chose to support Ying Ying, their interests were already tied to Ying Ying. Now that they saw that their investment target was such a high-quality stock, how could they care about this short-term decline?

However, just as everyone cheered for a while, Bai Bingyu continued: "Actually, we are just the first group of people to come back first."

"Come back first?" Ying Ying was busy with the Golden Bricks all day today, and she didn't have time to communicate with Bai Bingyu and the others. When she saw Bai Bingyu appear, she instinctively thought that Tianyou was back, so she didn't take the time to find Tianyou if she had to be busy. So she only realized that Bai Bingyu came back first and brought 18 Golden Bricks back. But now this is not the point. When she thought that Tianyou didn't come back, Ying Ying immediately grabbed Bai Bingyu's hands and asked nervously: "What about the others? Where is Tianyou?"

"Report to the princess. This is the thing..."

Bai Bingyu's introduction finally made everyone understand what they did after the national destiny mission began. Then the monks around began to talk, so the scene was noisy.

"So you cleared the law holders of the Tang Kingdom in advance?" Ying Ying said in surprise: "No wonder when he attacked the Taimiao of the Tang Kingdom this time, he found that the number of law holders was insufficient and was completely suppressed by us. It turned out that the problem lies here."
