The King of Fortune

Chapter 174
In the battle of Xiqi, every move involved the general trend of the world. Not only the eight hundred princes focused on Xiqi, but King Zhou also paid close attention to the battle ahead in Chaoge.King Zhou knew very well that the Great Shang was riddled with holes due to his decades of tossing, and only Han Rong was able to turn the tide and save the Great Shang from its ruins.

King Zhou was in the palace, looking forward to three times a day, looking forward to the good news from Xiqi.

"My lord, great joy, great joy!"

Wei Zi held the good news excitedly and almost ran all the way into the palace.

King Zhou beamed with joy, and hurriedly said: "But Xiqi has sent a good news, show it to the lonely king."

While speaking, King Zhou took three steps in parallel, got up from the collapse and ran down, snatching the good news from Wei Zi's hand.After watching it, he couldn't help laughing: "Bless the ancestors and the ancestors, don't let the lonely king become a sinner of the Yin family."

At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, how powerful the great merchants were, the four barbarians surrendered, the eight hundred princes ruled over the merchants, and their prestige was unmatched by anyone.But look at yourself now, the tiger has fallen into Pingyang, and he has lost his dominance over the world.

Wei Zi said: "It is not only the blessing of the ancestors, but also the great blessing of the great king. My great merchant has a peerless general like Han Rong born to defend the country and the country."

At the beginning, when Han Rong led an army to besiege Xiqi City, Wei Zi resolutely opposed it. Because of the precedent of the four generals of the Mo family, the court could not afford to gamble, but he never expected that Han Rong not only failed, but also defeated Xiqi. Incredible.

King Zhou pondered and said: "Yes, Han Rong has contributed to the country. This time he defeated Xiqi and beheaded [-] people. He has made great achievements. Except for the few great meritorious relatives at the beginning of the founding of the country, no one can compare. When the great reward is announced to the world, appease the world." The sons of the Great Merchants."

After this battle, Dashang really turned from danger to safety, and he can sit back and relax, handle state affairs well, clean up the mess, and regain the glory of the empire.

Wei Zi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

King Zhou said: "The decree of the lonely king is passed on. Tomorrow morning, there will be a court meeting. All the officials will be present. Those who are absent will be severely punished."

"The minister takes orders."

……

In the Nine Halls, King Zhou has not come yet.At this time, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the focus of everyone's discussion was naturally Han Rong. Han Rong hadn't come to the hall for several years, but in the past six months, he was the one who mentioned the most in every court meeting of King Zhou.

"After this battle, the Han family's meritorious service is probably unmatched by anyone."

"That's right, Huang Feihu, a traitor, has been loyal for three generations. His Majesty even made him a Wucheng King. This time, Han Rong has made a great contribution, and Mi Qi is just around the corner. On this occasion, how can the Majesty be stingy with rewarding him?"

"Han Rong is already the Marshal of the Western Expedition. It is impossible for him to become a grand master, but the national master still has great hope."

The reason why Wen Zhong was named Grand Master was because he was the elder of the three dynasties, and he was also an auxiliary minister. Regardless of his seniority or merit, all the officials were convinced.Although Han Rong has made great contributions, his qualifications are still a bit short.

Zhang Qian looked at these people as if they had changed their faces, leaving behind the previous objection to Han Rong's initiative to send troops, and felt a little angry.Fei Lian on the side whispered: "Why should the doctor be as knowledgeable as these people?"

Zhang Qian said: "A group of guys who can only talk in boastful ways and follow others."

Fei Lian nodded in disbelief. Among the ministers, most of them were echoing others, and very few of them were truly devoted to state affairs.

At this moment, surrounded by his servants, King Zhou went to the court. He was in a happy mood, his face was flushed, and there was always a slight smile on his mouth.The officials were delighted. These years, they almost lived in the fear of King Zhou. It was not until the last few months that they saw the moon through the heavy clouds.

King Zhou was happy, and everyone looked relaxed.

"The minister waits to pay homage to the king."

All the ministers bowed and saluted majesticly, and the blackness covered a large area. King Zhou said: "Everyone loves you."

"Presumably all the lovers also know that Xiqi's victory is really an act of admiring the power of our great merchants, shocking the princes of the world, and a joyous move. The lonely king is very happy, and he will use the court to gather you and others together to discuss how to reward Han. Rong, secondly, how to destroy Xiqi."

When King Zhou was young, he was full of ambitions. He once wanted to wipe out the barbarians in one fell swoop and shock the world, but after meeting Daji, he gradually lost his self-knowledge in the gentle village, and his previous ambitions were in vain.

He is nearly seventy years old, and his body is also in trouble. He knows that he will not have a good life for a few years, and he only hopes to destroy Xiqi in his lifetime and solve the biggest threat for Dashang.As for the future, the next king will worry about it.

Fei Lian went out and said: "My Majesty, the Han family is full of loyalty, and Han Rong's leadership is unmatched. For this great service, I beseech the King to canonize him as a national teacher, command the world's soldiers and horses, and quell the wars in all directions for our great merchants." , to return the world to a bright future."

The officials were shocked, the national teacher is the head of the military generals, and he is also in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Isn't he the second Wen Zhong, who suppressed all the civil and military officials? .

"I think it's inappropriate. Although Han Rong has made great achievements, it is understandable to be named a national teacher. If he is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, his qualifications are still lacking."

Don't say that Han Rong's qualifications are not enough, even if he is enough, he absolutely can't agree, who wants to have an extra mountain on his head.

"Which aspect did Sir Li refer to? If I remember correctly, when Han Rong made the decision to carry out a war to destroy the Xiqi Kingdom, the Lord did not favor him, and now he opposes it, what is his intention. "

"Master Fei's words are wrong. I am dedicated to serving the court. I have no selfish intentions. I am convinced of Han Rong's military level, but he has never been an official in the court and has no experience. Once the entire army is handed over He is in charge, if he is arrogant, he will lead wolves into the house."

"It's nonsense. Han Rong sits at Sishuiguan, one of the eight hundred princes in the world. If he had a different heart, he would have taken refuge in Xiqi long ago. How could he devote himself to saving the big business and die!"

"Is there any dissatisfaction? You have your own majesty, you speak for Han Rong again and again, but what benefits do you accept from him!"

King Zhou's face darkened, and he shouted: "Okay, you two are ministers of the court, fighting with each other in this hall, what kind of dignity is it, and where do you put the lonely king!" The two were on good terms, Tu had a moment of joy, and started arguing on the spot.

"My minister is reckless, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The two quickly knelt on the ground.

King Zhou waved his hands, asked the two to stand up, and asked Wei Zi, "Brother Wang, as a prime minister, what do you think about this matter?"

Wei Zi went out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Han Rongli has made great achievements and should be appointed as the national teacher. Apart from Chaoge, he can command the world's soldiers and horses."

To be honest, Wei Zi is not very impressed with Han Rong. Now the power of the big merchants is not as good as before, and with the rebellion in all directions. Too big, and the trino feels the need to circumvent it.

King Zhou pondered and said: "This matter is inappropriate, as the saying goes: don't use someone who is suspicious, and don't be suspicious when you employ someone. The lonely king is important to Han Rong, and Han Rong has not disappointed the lonely king. How can the lonely king take precautions against him for a little selfishness. "

"Your Majesty, you must be on guard against others."

"The big business has a lot of accumulation. At this time, how can we use ordinary means. Brother Wang, don't persuade him. The lonely king decides to confer Han Rong as the national teacher, hold the yellow axe, and control the world's soldiers and horses."

King Zhou made an order directly, and the officials were in an uproar, but no one dared to stand up to oppose this matter. After all, Wei Zi’s persuasion was useless, let alone them, they had to pinch their noses to admit this matter, and only hoped that Han Rong would return to Chaoge a few years later Debriefing.
