Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

”Very well,” Ying Zheng said slowly. ”As you wish. After tomorrow’s court session settles the matter of establishing the new army, Li You will join the military with Zhao Feng.”

At those words, Li Si’s face lit up with excitement. He bowed to Ying Zheng and said, ”Your servant thanks the Great King for his generous grace. Li Si vows to serve the Great King loyally unto death.”

Ying Zheng nodded without another word, simply waving his hand at Li Si, who then slowly withdrew.

Compared to Yu Liao, Li Si truly has a strong attachment to his family, and he overthinks things, Ying Zheng contemplated as he watched the man leave. Is Fusu really so unbearable in his eyes?

「The next day!」

In the Morning Discussion Hall.

”Officials, enter the hall!”

As Zhao Gao’s voice echoed outside the Assembly Hall, the Hundred Officials waiting outside all followed protocol. They placed their swords on the racks outside before entering the grand hall in an orderly fashion according to their rank.

In the line of military officials, Wang Jian stood at the forefront, followed by Meng Wu, then Huan Yi, and finally Zhao Feng.

In the line of civil servants, Wang Wan led, followed by Huai Zhuang. Then Yu Liao, Li Si, and the other Nine Ministers walked in slowly.

Of course, after entering the hall, they would take their respective seats. The actual court session did not take place standing but seated, with a clear division between civil and military officials.

The only real court session Zhao Feng had participated in was the impromptu one upon his return from the conquest of Zhao. Today, however, was a formal court session.

But unlike that time, two figures stood in the space between the civil and military officials. One was Crown Prince Fusu, and the other was Hu Hai. Both were clad in princely attire as they stood in the court.

Compared to Fusu’s composure, Hu Hai appeared somewhat arrogant. Perhaps it was just as the saying goes: the dragon has nine sons, and each is different from the next.
