Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 208: It’s difficult to be a minister, but it’s also difficult to be a king (please give me a monthly recommendation vote!)
If the prince hadn't raised the issue of Qin's reform today, Meng Wu would naturally have comforted Wang Jian.

Because it's obviously impossible for this to happen.

However, now it seems that this is going to happen.

Meng Wu suddenly lowered his head, his expression darkened.

"Wu Chenghou's worries will soon become my worries too."

Wang Ben looked around, winked, and everyone around him retreated.

Looking at the clear sky and the vast green land in front of him, Wang Jian was filled with thoughts.

Wang Jian also didn't expect that after more than forty years of military service, when he got old, he would have to shut himself up at home.

His horseshoes have traveled all over thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

But now, they can only be kept in captivity in Xianyang.

Forget it, he is old, and it is His Majesty's grace that he can die as a king.

Who knows, his surname is Wang, and the one in Xianyang Palace is Qin Ying.

However, how could he rest in peace if he had to spend the last moments of his life watching him step by step while fighting for the King of Qin but still not being able to exchange for a smooth career for his children and grandchildren.

Although Wang Jian is not as energetic as before, his general aura is still there.

Wang Jian shouted to Meng Wu just as he did when he and his general Meng Wu partnered up in battle.

"Mengwu——"

Meng Wu also agreed.

"General—"

"You and I have been colleagues for many years, and we don't speak secretly. Bi'er is my own son, not an outsider."

"The old general does not treat Meng Wu as an outsider, and Meng Wu is grateful."

"In that case, let's make it clear." Wang Jian said directly, "I have already listened to Bi'er about the East Palace's plan to reform Qin's laws."

"The incident happened suddenly, and Meng Wu never expected that the prince would suddenly raise the matter. Meng Wu didn't know what to do. Therefore, Meng Wu came to ask General Wang for advice."

Wang Jian listened and smiled.

"Don't you, Meng Wu, not know what to do? You clearly can't defeat the crown prince. So you have no choice but to come and find me."

"Mengwu is a martial artist who only serves on the battlefield. He is not good at arguing. It is natural for him to lose to the prince in a verbal dispute."

Wang Jian looked at Meng Wu.

The general who is full of vigor on the battlefield.The battlefield has sharpened his spirit, but it is extremely rare to see him so depressed now.

A military general with great achievements in life and death was actually silenced by a young boy in the court, and was at a disadvantage.

Natural face is dull.

Wang Jian took Meng Wu's hand and looked at each other.

"I have always known you. The Meng family is in the Qin State and is also a military family. You are younger than me and I have always regarded you as half a younger brother."

After hearing this, Meng Wu was naturally impressed by the old general's magnanimity.

Your Majesty used to promote the Meng family to suppress the Wang family, but unexpectedly, Wang Jian didn't mind this at all.

But Wang Jian is an old fox.

He regarded himself as his younger brother, which Meng Wu didn't believe.

Mengwu has been guarding the border for many years, and his time in court is longer than that of Wang Jian.

Meng Wu's eyes heated up.

"Meng Wu has always treated General Wang as an elder brother."

Wang Ben didn't expect that he was 40 years old, and he actually looked at his father and Meng Wu as brothers.

This scene is very weird.

Wang Ben only felt that his arms were numb and had a lot of goosebumps.

The generals were so upset that Wang Ben himself couldn't bear it.

Wang Jian listened, nodded repeatedly, and then held Meng Wu's hand tighter.

"Brother Wei knows that your Meng family now has three heroes, and all of them are dedicated to serving King Qin."

"It is an honor for my family to serve His Majesty."

Wang Jian said again.

"But if my subordinates have high merits, your Majesty will be wary of them."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Wu couldn't help but look around.

There was really no one around.

"I have been with you for many years, and I know that it is difficult for me to be a minister, but I also know that it is difficult for your Majesty to be your king. Therefore, I never put your majesty in trouble."

Meng Wu put his hands together and bowed to Wang Jian.

"The heart of an old general is admired by Meng Wu."

"But now, the tree wants to be still, but the wind doesn't stop."

Meng Wu listened with a look of vigilance.

Wang Jian stopped selling out.

"The key to our Qin's laws lies in farming and warfare. Since Lord Shang's reform, our Qin Dynasty has been gradually strengthening itself, and none of the princes are willing to resist. Now that the empire has been unified, the East Palace is thinking of abolishing the system of military merit. This move should How many soldiers will be chilled."

"What the old general said is absolutely true. Meng Wu also felt that the prince proposed to revolutionize the Qin law..."

Meng Wu did not dare to say the next words.

Wang Jian was still smiling.Every line on the forehead is full of vicissitudes and wisdom.

"When he was young, that person didn't want to make a big difference. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, was young and wanted to do something for Qin. Not only did I understand your ambition, I also admired the Crown Prince."

Meng Wu listened, but couldn't help laughing.

The prince wants to destroy the foundation of Qin!
Based on this alone, Meng Wu could not understand the prince anyway, and how could he admire the prince.

Wang Jian looked at Meng Wu's gloomy face and said again.

"The prince is young, but he must not touch the laws of Qin."

When Meng Wu heard this, his eyes lit up.

Wang Jian continued to talk.

"Shang Jun's method is the foundation of the Qin State. The prince wants to let the big tree of Qin shade the world, but this tree with its roots and the tallest tree will fall to the ground, so how can it shade the world."

"What the old general said is absolutely true."

Speaking of this, Wang Jian said again.

"But the prince alone cannot destroy the roots of Qin."

Meng Wu heard this and was puzzled.

"Meng Wu is stupid, please let the old general speak clearly."

"As the successor king of the Qin Kingdom, the prince is currently proposing to reform Qin's laws in front of the civil and military officials of the court. Do you think there will be anyone in the court who will support the prince?"

Meng Wu's eyes darkened.

Meng Wu couldn't sit still anymore. He suddenly stood up, walked to the pillar, and punched the pillar hard.

"His Majesty has decided on the establishment of the crown prince. We can only let it go. But I never expected—"

Suddenly, Meng Wu figured it out.

"What the old general means is that the prince has offended most people in the Qin Dynasty."

Wang Jian stroked his long beard and nodded.

Meng Wu was suddenly thrown back into the sea like a catfish on the chopping board, and his eyes immediately glowed with light.

"Everyone in the dynasty is opposed to the reform, so the reform will definitely not succeed?"

Wang Jian shook his head after hearing this.

Wang Ben came out to explain.

"General, what my father means is that the prince's proposal of this matter is too abrupt, and even His Majesty has not made a decision yet. But if His Majesty decides to change the law, even if all the officials are opposed to it, it will be too late by then. ”

After hearing this, Meng Wu felt that his trip was in vain.

"You also met Marquis Tongwu in the court hall today. Your Majesty is obviously very pleased with the prince's words."

Wang Ben said.

"But Your Majesty said, we will discuss it later. Your Majesty must have known the stakes involved, so he did not make a decision immediately."

Meng Wu paced back and forth in the pavilion.

Seeing Meng Wu like this, Wang Ben was also very worried.

Wang Jian was used to big scenes, so he didn't feel panic about this matter.

What's more, if you have food in your pocket, you won't panic in times of famine.

Ying Zheng knew that Wang Jian was highly accomplished and respected him.

Ying Zheng will definitely consider what he says.

Wang Jian said slowly.

"Brother Mengwu, don't be in a hurry. Let's see how your Majesty treats the prince? It's never too late to be in a hurry."

"Meng Wu also knows that it is useless to be anxious, but now the government and the central government have been discussing the matter endlessly and have vetoed the matter."

Wang Jian remained calm in the face of danger.

"But you also know that once His Majesty decides something, no one can change it. So now, we can only wait."
