Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 60 The scheming ruler and minister

After leaving the gate of Wang's house, Zhengzheng Ying sighed, Wang Ben looked at his back, hesitant to speak.

After a while, Ying Zheng said leisurely, "Wang Ben, do you think Zhao Kun's plan is true or false?"

"Your Majesty said...?"

"The execution ground!"

Hearing these three words, Wang Ben's heart skipped a beat.

Although he had experienced many battles, it was the first time he met such an arrogant person who threatened to break the law and discipline in front of the first emperor.

If this was a different person, grass would probably start to grow on the grave!

Think about the eldest son Fusu, who said a few words for Confucian scholars, and was demoted to Jiuyuan.

Compared with Zhao Kun's behavior, Fusu's words and deeds are nothing at all.

But it was such a bold person, but Ying Zheng tolerated it again and again, which showed that he really valued this son.

Since Zhao Kun is valued, what if the execution ground is blown up?

After pondering for a moment, Wang Ben cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that what you need to consider now is who is the most important, Jiang Chao or Zhao Kun."

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Ben: "What do you mean by that?"

When he thought about it, how could a mere prisoner be compared with his own son?

But Wang Ben replied: "According to the current situation, Young Master Kun is very persistent in saving Jiang Chao. Even if His Majesty intends to obstruct him, I'm afraid he will try his best to rescue him."

"Hmph, then I will immediately order Jiang Chao to be killed, let's see how he can save him!"

Ying Zheng snorted disdainfully.

Wang Ben quickly saluted and said, "Your Majesty must never do this."

"Why?"

"Young Master Kun saved Jiang Chao in order to repay his kindness. If His Majesty kills Jiang Chao, he will definitely leave him with a knot in his heart."

Hearing the word "heart knot", Ying Zheng's face changed slightly.

At the beginning, Wang Ben almost died of depression because of a knot in his heart.

"From what I said in the room today, the old minister feels that Young Master Kun has great potential. If His Majesty wants to cultivate him, he should establish a good relationship with him."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned and did not interrupt Wang Ben.

Wang Ben continued: "A mere Jiang Chao is too small compared to the future of the empire."

"Now Young Master Kun has a deep grudge against His Majesty, but he loves your adoptive father's identity even more. Why don't you go with the flow and help him?"

Ying Zheng still didn't speak.

Wang Ben glanced at his expression and felt a little embarrassed, so he sneered and said: "Actually, the old minister also has selfish intentions. Young Master Kun is currently doing business in partnership with the Wang family. If you spend all your energy on saving people, then the old minister's The loss would be huge."

Ying Zheng said angrily: "I knew it, you old guy, you have always been unprofitable!"

Wang Ben: "Although the law stipulates that officials are not allowed to engage in business, it seems that there is nothing wrong with veterans who have lived in seclusion for many years and have no official or job. It seems that there is nothing wrong with earning a little money to subsidize the family?"

"Besides, those businesses are no longer under the Hou's family!"

Ying Zheng laughed angrily at the words: "So, are you reasonable?"

Wang Ben smiled and said: "Your Majesty also knows that the old minister has fought all his life with this little promise, and he doesn't want to be a high-ranking official or rich salary. He just wants to leave some family property for future generations so that the old minister will not have to worry about the future!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking to himself why did this sound so familiar?

Hmm. It seems that Wang Jian once said the same thing.

Your father and son tried their best to deceive me for many rewards, and now you plan to deceive my son?
How can it be so easy!

After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng pretended not to care and said, "What you said just now makes sense. A mere prisoner is really nothing..."

"However." As he spoke, he changed the subject, and continued: "I, Great Qin, rule the country by law. If I let Jiang Chao go like this, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble, so I still don't plan to let Jiang Chao go."

"This……"

Wang Ben hesitated to speak.

Ying Zheng glanced at him, and then said expressionlessly: "If Jiang Chao is robbed, then I will definitely investigate this matter severely!"

Hearing this, Wang Ben's heart moved slightly.

Now that we know that Zhao Kun is going to rob the execution ground, we don't send more people to stop him, but wait for him to rob him, and then investigate...

It's not clear, just turn a blind eye!
Your Majesty really values ​​Zhao Kun very much.

However, this is also good, I can just use this incident to talk to Zhao Kun about the issue of redistribution of profits.

Well, let's just say that he persuaded the first emperor to show mercy outside the law.

Haha, didn't you kid threaten the old man?See how this old man blackmails you!
Thinking of this, Wang Ben felt elated, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Wise?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Tong Wuhou really thinks I'm wise?"

"It's true."

Wang Ben licked his face and praised: "Your Majesty's move can not only increase the love between father and son, but also fulfill the kindness of the monarch and his ministers. It is really a double win!"

"Two birds with one stone?"

Ying Zheng smiled noncommittally, and said, "I remember that Jiang Chao is from your Wang family, right?"

"Ok?"

"I still remember that Zhao Kun disappeared in the back mountain of your Wang family, right?"

"What does His Majesty mean by this? Didn't you say that you don't blame the old minister?"

"I didn't blame you! I just reminded you that Zhao Kun was taken to the back mountain by Wang Li."

Wang Ben: "..."

"What exactly does His Majesty want to say?"

"I want to say that killing two birds with one stone is not wise enough, I want to kill three birds with one stone!"

Wang Ben: "..."

"How about this, I don't want too much, you just give me [-]% of the business partnership with Zhao Kun!"

"!!!"

Wang Ben was stunned.

You father and son are devils, right?One is [-]%, the other is [-]%?Cooperate with my Wang family and contribute money and effort, so you get [-]%?
Nima!Don't bring such a bully!
Wang Ben quickly showed a bitter face, and said, "Your Majesty, you have a young manor to collect land taxes from mountains and rivers, is it still short of this money?"

"Difference……"

Ying Zheng nodded seriously, and said, "Although I don't know what kind of business that kid is partnering with the Wang family, I think he should be able to make money!"

"Your Majesty is wrong."

"Hehe, why does Aiqing need to do this? My palace hasn't been finished yet, and my mausoleum is still short of a lot of money..."

"But……"

Wang Ben never expected that the majestic Emperor Qin would actually compete with his ministers for profit?And it's still obvious!

"But Your Majesty, the old minister can't do it! The old minister's family has a lot of money to spend..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng waving his hand.

"Without your help, even if that kid has a lot of money, he would still be struggling in Pinyang. If he is not stupid, he would never dare to take advantage of it!"

"So, if I want [-]%, you won't lose!"

Hearing this, Wang Ben was dumbfounded.

Good guy!
If your son plots against you, will you plot against me?

Is there anyone like you who is an emperor?
Wang Ben was a little depressed. He had a lot of money waiting for him to earn, but he came out halfway and cut it off.

"His Majesty……"

"The old minister fought for you in the battlefield a few years ago. There is no credit, but hard work!"

Ying Zheng didn't give Wang Ben any chance to complain, and said coldly: "If you dare to say more, I will take it all."

"This……"

When Wang Ben heard this, he could only forcefully hold back the words of Que.

After all, he was not Zhao Kun, so he didn't have the courage to die in front of the first emperor.

After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng instructed again: "Remember to send someone to keep an eye on him, and don't let him do anything out of line!"

Got it!
The re-discussion of the profit distribution is also in vain!

Wang Ben cupped his hands with a bitter face: "The old minister understands."

"Okay, let's go back, I'll go first."

After speaking, Ying Zheng stepped into the carriage.

Wang Ben watched the carriage leave, thinking about how Zhao Kun could lure Pin Yang?

　Seeking to follow up, seek to collect, the more you look back, the more exciting it will be!
