Your Majesty, do not attack Rome yet, or the Qin Dynasty will perish!

"Your Majesty."

"He did not come from the Western Regions via Bactria and Parthia."

Xun Yu added a message with a solemn expression.

"Something happened?"

Ying Xuan's eyes narrowed, and his expression turned grim.

Five years ago, all thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions fell under its control, and the Protectorate of the Western Regions was established.

He governed all the kingdoms north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, commanded all the barbarians, pacified and conquered, and rewarded merits and punished demerits.

It was through trade and communication with the Protectorate of the Western Regions that the Qin army was able to grow and expand in its homeland of Persia.

"Clatter!"

Black Ice Platform removed his armor, revealing his body covered in wounds, some fresh and some old.

His entire body was covered in so much flesh that it was enough to make one's heart tremble with fear.

"Three months ago, we cut off all communication with the Western Regions."

"In order not to affect the king's campaign against Antioch, we did not send anyone to inform him."

"The Xia, Parthian, Kangju and other states, in alliance with the Xiongnu, intend to sever the connection between our Qin army and the Western Regions."

"He crossed the Pamir Mountains and traveled westward from the Indian-Greek city-states (present-day Pakistan) into the homeland of Persia."

"How dare you!"

Ying Xuan clenched his fists, veins bulging, his anger reaching its peak.

If it weren't for the Qin army keeping the Seleucid dynasty in check all these years, how could Parthia and Great Xia have remained uninvolved?

Today, these barbarians have united to help the Xiongnu conquer the Western Regions.

This is intolerable! This is intolerable!

"Your Majesty, I request permission to conquer Parthia, Bactria, and Kangju."

"These barbarians must be wiped out and their people destroyed before this hatred can be avenged."

"That's right, we must wipe them out."

The civil and military officials were filled with righteous indignation and volunteered to fight.

Bactria, also known as the Kingdom of Bactria, was originally just an eastern province under the rule of Alexander the Great's empire.

During the Seleucid dynasty, large numbers of Greeks and Macedonians migrated there, gradually forming a Hellenized region.

If it weren't for the Qin Dynasty restraining the Seleucid army, how could the Great Xia have become independent?

Parthia, needless to say, was originally a small Central Asian tribe called Pani, with a population of only a few hundred thousand.

If it weren't for the Qin army's military aid over the years, Arsak II would have long been a prisoner of the Seleucid dynasty.

Kangju was originally one of the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions, a nomadic group living in the middle reaches of the Syr Darya River in Central Asia.

When Ying Xuan launched his western expedition, the last remaining kingdom of the Western Regions, barely clinging to life, fled to the upper reaches of the Syr Darya River.

Unexpectedly, only five years later, the former stray dog ​​has the audacity to appear before them today, stirring up trouble.

"Your Majesty."

"The most urgent task is to understand the Qin Dynasty."

Fa Zheng calmly spoke up to stop the crowd.

He was the earliest strategist of the Western King Ying Xuan, and he orchestrated the destruction of the Seleucid Dynasty.

Under the command of west Jun Ying Xuan, no civil official could compare to Fa Zheng in status.

The civil and military officials present all composed themselves and listened attentively.

What did Hu Hai do after he ascended the throne?

Ying Xuan suppressed his anger and continued to question the Black Ice Platform.

"Reporting to Your Majesty."

With his head bowed, Hei Bingjian said in a hoarse voice, "Prince Huhai has ascended the throne and is known as the Second Emperor of Qin."

"An imperial edict was issued, ordering the execution of twelve of the emperor's sons in Xianyang."

"The remaining six imperial princes and ten princesses were all killed in Duyu."

"Gongzi Jianglu and the other two committed suicide by drawing their swords, and Gongzi Gao was buried alive with them at Mount Li."

"They forced General Meng Tian and Minister Meng Yi to commit suicide, and Right Chancellor Feng Quji and General Feng Jie committed suicide."

"Zhao Gao was appointed as the Chancellor, Zhao Cheng as the Palace Attendant, and Yan Le as the Magistrate of Xianyang."

In the autumn of the first year of Qin Er Shi's reign (209 BC), a rebellion broke out in Dazexiang, Qixian County (present-day Suzhou).

"Bandit leaders Chen Sheng and Wu Guang attacked cities and plundered strongholds with great force, and the area outside Guanzhong was engulfed in flames of war."

"The empire is now on the verge of collapse, and we have risked our lives to come here."

"We earnestly hope that Your Majesty will lead your army back to the capital, restore order, and save the Qin Dynasty from its dire straits."

Boom!

The moment those words were spoken, the entire hall was astonished.

It was truly alarming that the Qin Empire, which had been suppressing the world, was falling into disintegration so quickly after Hu Hai had only been on the throne for a short time.

He arbitrarily killed the emperor's heir, slaughtered his ministers, and abused the common people. Each and every one of these acts aroused the wrath of both heaven and man.

"It still came to this."

Ying Xuan let out a long sigh, his face ashen.

"Hu Hai forged an imperial edict and declared himself emperor, putting the Qin Dynasty in imminent danger."

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. Among the sons of the First Emperor, only Your Majesty was able to save the country from collapse."

"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you ascend the throne and become Emperor, to restore order to the nation and its people!"

Fa Zheng suddenly stepped forward, bowed his head in worship, and shouted loudly.

"We urge Your Majesty to ascend the throne and restore order to the nation!"

"We urge Your Majesty to ascend the throne and restore order to the nation!"

"........."

The other officials and generals present immediately realized what was happening, knelt down, and urged him to ascend the throne.

Apart from Hu Hai and Ying Xuan, all of the First Emperor's sons and daughters died.

At present, Ying Xuan is the only one in the entire Qin Dynasty who is most qualified to inherit the throne.

"Your Majesty."

Black Ice Platform trembled as it took out a bronze token from its bosom, with a seal character engraved in the center: Ying.

He raised his hands and roared with heart-wrenching despair, "The royal family and noble clans of Ying Qin request Your Majesty to ascend the throne!"

The Black Ice Guard was originally an intermediary organization established by successive Qin rulers who selected shrewd and capable individuals from the royal court and clans to gather military intelligence.

After the First Emperor unified the country, the Black Ice Terrace gradually disappeared and was no longer what it used to be.

These people carried the hopes of the Qin royal family and nobility, and traveled through mountains and rivers to come here, just to ask Ying Xuan to save the Qin Dynasty.

As a result, of the thousands who came from Longxi, only he remains; all of them perished on the way.

"The fate of the Qin Dynasty rests entirely on my shoulders; I have no reason to shirk responsibility."

"But now, the Seleucid Empire is newly at peace, facing both internal and external troubles."

"To rashly declare oneself emperor would likely make one a laughingstock."

Ying Xuan shook his head and refused the requests of his ministers.

"Your Majesty!"

The group wanted to try to persuade him further, but he interrupted them with his hand.

"I understand your intentions."

"The day when the Western Lands are at peace will be the day I declare myself emperor."

"Returning to the Central Plains should not be done hastily."

"only!"

The crowd saw through Ying Xuan's attitude and did not continue to offer advice.

As long as Ying Xuan doesn't refuse, they have a chance to become loyal subjects of the emperor; it's only a matter of time.

"He immediately ordered Chen Qingzhi to lead 7 white-robed soldiers south to attack the Ptolemaic Dynasty."

"Han Xin led an army of 50,000 to conquer the Antigonid dynasty in the west."

"Furthermore, Di Qing is the commander-in-chief, and Wang Yanzhang is the deputy commander, leading 100,000 Qin troops stationed at Antiaoke."

"He marched north and destroyed the Kingdom of Armenia, the Kingdom of Atropatney, Iberia, and Qados."

"Sir Shi led 15,000 cavalrymen into the Arabian Peninsula to conquer the Arabs, Garla, Misqa, Hadramawt, Qataban, Saibt, Main, and Nabatay."

With ambition gleaming in his eyes, Ying Xuan issued several imperial edicts in succession.

"only!"

Wang Yanzhang and Shi Wansui both answered the call to duty.
