If it were in the past, Scipio indeed had unfavorable thoughts towards Great Qin.

At first, Scipio wanted to eliminate Qin's wariness of Rome by marrying him.

At the same time, he relied on the prestige of the Qin Dynasty to implement his new policy in Rome and make Rome strong again.

Then he would turn around and deal with the Qin Dynasty to achieve the goal of realizing the great revival of Rome.

However, ever since Scipio learned about the power of Qin in the letters written by Little Scipio and Princess Sophie, and saw clearly the huge gap between Rome and Qin in all aspects, Scipio's heart immediately stopped.

The thought of doing harm to Great Qin.

Even now, what he is thinking about is how to establish a good relationship between Rome and Qin, how to retain as much as possible in the future when Qin captures Rome, or how to protect all the subjects of Rome.

And now Rome is under fierce attack by Hannibal's Carthaginian army. More than a dozen cities are in danger, and even the capital of Rome is at risk of being destroyed.

In such a critical situation, Scipio did not dare to plot against the Qin Dynasty. After all, he knew very well that if he relied on the remaining remaining troops to defeat the generals, he would never be able to stop Hannibal's attack.

Now the only way to save Scipio and the Roman state is to ask Qin for assistance.

Not to mention setting a trap for Qin, Scipio was hoping day and night for Qin's reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible to help Rome escape from the current crisis.

"What Qing Meng said is that I didn't consider the matter carefully enough and made wrong remarks. Please forgive me."

A look of shame appeared on Yao Jia's face, and he quickly bowed to apologize.

"I pardon you this time, but you have to remember that the next time you speak, you have to think it through in your mind before speaking. Since the prince has married Princess Sophie of Rome, then Scipio will no longer

Not only is he the highest consul of Rome, but he is also the father-in-law of the prince, my in-laws, and a relative of the Qin Dynasty."

"Without any evidence, we must not make wild guesses like today."

Ying Zheng had a peaceful face at first, but then suddenly became serious when he said the next sentence, and his words contained a strong warning.

After all, after Yao Jia's conspiracy theory just came out, although the ministers in the DPRK did not express their attitude clearly, it was obvious that they had already expressed doubts in their hearts about whether Qin should respond to Scipio's request and lead his army to aid Rome.

A disagreement arose.

If all the ministers really believed that Scipio's request for help from the Qin Dynasty was to set a trap against the Qin Dynasty, and wrote to Yingzheng to persuade him to give up the rescue operation against Rome, that would not be what Yingzheng wanted to see.

After all, only when Rome asked for help from Qin could Yingzheng be able to legitimately send Qin's troops to Rome, thereby expanding Qin's influence in Rome and allowing Qin to take root in Rome.

The reason why Ying Zheng originally supported Ying Yu in marrying Sophie was not only because he wanted Ying Yu to continue the family line as a father, but also because he wanted to use this to bring the relationship between Da Qin and Rome closer, so that Da Qin could annex and conquer it in the future.

Rome prepares.

In the face of the advice of the ministers, Ying Zheng, as the supreme emperor, could of course continue to insist on his own views despite all opinions, but this would inevitably damage Ying Zheng's reputation.

But if their advice is adopted, a great opportunity to promote Qin's integration with Rome will be lost.

No matter which side he chooses, Ying Zheng will cause losses to Da Qin. This is why Ying Zheng was a little angry after hearing Yao Jia's conspiracy theories about Scipio.

After all, Yao Jia was an old man in the court. After hearing the second half of Ying Zheng's words, he didn't realize that he had said the wrong thing and angered Ying Zheng.

After realizing this, Yao Jia suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and said quickly in fear:

"Your Majesty, I know I made a mistake. I will definitely learn a lesson next time and never make such a mistake again!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately bowed his body and lowered his posture so low that his head was almost buried in the floor.

"No courtesy, I hope you can take this as a warning, use your brains when encountering problems, and don't make random guesses."

Seeing Yao Jia's frightened look below, Ying Zheng, who was sitting above him, waved his hand and had no intention of really arguing with him.

"Your Majesty's teachings, I will definitely keep them in mind."

The ministers in the court who were afraid of harming Chi Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly answered.

Although Ying Zheng is smiling every day and looks amiable, no different from ordinary civilians outside, this is just because Ying Yu is here, Ying Zheng does not need to worry about anything.

When Ying Yu was still cowardly and mediocre and had not yet risen, Ying Zheng was famous for his decisiveness in killing. He would never hold back anyone who hindered the Qin Dynasty from achieving its great achievements. For this reason, blood splattered in court many times.

The ministers in the court all remember clearly what happened in the palace.

"Very good. If that's the case, then let's put this matter to rest. The most urgent task now is to consider how to deal with Scipio's request for help from Great Qin."

Ying Zheng looked around, then slowly spoke.

"Father, although Rome has frequent and close trade with our country, Great Qin, even most of the goods on their streets are 'Made in Great Qin'."

"But that's all. In fact, because the distance between Great Qin and Rome is too far, our Great Qin's influence on Rome is not deep in all aspects, and it is not even as deep as Carthage next door. This is obviously not good for me.

In the future, after the Qin Dynasty captured and annexed Rome, it would govern Rome."

"And now the letter asking for help sent by Scipio is undoubtedly a great opportunity for us to send the Qin army to Rome, open the door to Rome, and deepen our influence on Rome."

"Furthermore, as Rome is the in-law country of my Great Qin, now that they have been invaded by foreign enemies and want to ask for help from my Great Qin, then my Great Qin really cannot stand idly by."
