My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 965: How lucky I am to have such a good son-in-law! Ying Chengjiao can really help me when I’m in trouble!

As a king, King Jian of Qi had a certain understanding of all parts of the world, so he knew very well what Gongdi was.

If Zheng County is the gateway for the earth dragon to travel to the underworld, it will not shake easily, but when it shakes it will shock the world.

Then the public land is the palace of the earth dragon in the Central Plains. Each earthquake is not intense, but it will shake whenever there is something wrong!
If we look at earthquake-prone areas around the world, the common area located in the Hebei Plain seismic belt in the North China seismic zone does not rank high in terms of frequency or intensity. Even the most intense earthquake in the history of the common area is not as strong as the Daidi earthquake, let alone the Zhengxian earthquake.

But don't forget, we are located in the Central Plains! The Central Plains has relatively few natural disasters!
Although Gongdi is not ranked among the areas in the world where earthquakes occur frequently, it is a real heresy in the Central Plains. Even more than two thousand years later, Gongdi is still the area with the most frequent and highest intensity earthquakes in the Central Plains!

Why would people stay in the common land when they only need to walk a short distance to reach a land suitable for farming and where earthquakes rarely occur? Why would the court spend effort to develop the common land?
This is no longer an era of vast land and sparse population. There is no reason for either the common people or the imperial court to seek harm and avoid gain!
This directly led to the fact that the common area was sparsely populated, with pine and cypress trees everywhere, and there were more tigers than people!

What is the difference between moving Tian Jian to Gong and throwing Tian Jian into the deep mountains and forests to keep company with tigers? !

The rest of Tian Jian’s life will be worse than death!

Tian Jian was just unconscious and not scared to death, which means he has a good mental quality.

Hou Sheng and other former Qi officials were very reluctant, but they did not fight for Tian Jian. They just bowed and said, "King Qin, you are wise!"

Tian Zhen's nails dug deep into the flesh of his palms. He looked at Tian Jian lying on the ground with a sad look and cried out in a low voice, "Father!"

Tian Zhen wanted to improve Tian Jian's situation, but Tian Zhen was not naive. He knew very well that war was cruel.

As a traitor and the defeated party, Tian Jian deserved whatever fate he had.

Seeing Tian Zhen's extremely anxious look but having to stand still, Ying Chengjiao said calmly: "Go and help if you want."

"If anyone asks for accountability, I will bear the responsibility for you."

Tian Zhen looked at Ying Chengjiao in shock, obviously not expecting Ying Chengjiao to say such a thing.

Ying Chengjiao also looked at Tian Zhen and said in a deep voice: "But before you go, you should think carefully about why no one among the ministers of Qi went to help."

"You should also know what price you will pay after helping!"

"If anyone in the court holds you accountable for this, I will bear the responsibility for you."

"But if the officials in the court are unwilling to promote you or get close to you because of this matter, I can do nothing about it."

With the fall of Qi, the wisest choice would be to quickly and thoroughly cut ties with Tian Jian.

Therefore, all the ministers of Qi were wise and rational talents. They were not as stupid and emotional as the retainers under Lu Buwei. They knew that Lu Buwei was forced to death by Ying Zheng, but they still went to bury Lu Buwei, which led to them being stripped of their titles and expelled by Ying Zheng, and their future was ruined!
Therefore, in the original history, after Tian Jian was exiled to Gong, not a single powerful official from the former Qi State went to visit Tian Jian. Although this directly led to Tian Jian's death by starvation in the mountains, it also allowed the powerful officials from the former Qi State to preserve their strength, enabling them to stir up trouble during the chaotic times at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Tian Zhen was silent for two breaths, then smiled and said, "I have not been a smart person since I was young, so although I am a young master, I have never coveted the highest position. Instead, I hope to become a hero like Chang'an Jun, and fight for Qi just like Chang'an Jun fought for Qin."

"However, I am ultimately stupid and cannot trample the enemy country and shake the world with my voice like Chang'an Jun."

"But I can at least be as filial as Lord Chang'an."

Tian Zhen bowed deeply to Ying Chengjiao and said, "I am sorry to have caused trouble to you, Your Majesty!"

"If I am lucky enough to survive this day, I will repay your kindness with my life!"

Lifting up her skirt, Tian Zhen walked without hesitation through the fawning officials of Qi and ran all the way to Tian Jian.

Seeing his father, who was once so high and mighty, now lying on the cold ground like a piece of garbage, Tian Zhen unconsciously knelt on the ground, took off his cloak with trembling hands and put it on Tian Jian, then carried Tian Jian on his back, facing the scrutinizing, sarcastic and watchful eyes, bowed his head and shouted to Ying Zheng: "The king is wise!"

Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Captain Tian, ​​what is the meaning of this action?"

I did not order you to go forward, but you went forward on your own and carried the deposed King of Qi on your back?
Are you dissatisfied with my decision, or are you provoking my Great Qin? !
Before Tian Zhen could speak, Ying Chengjiao stepped out, smiled and bowed: "Your Majesty!"

"Although our army's commander Tian Zhen was the third son of the former Qi, he played a great role in the war to destroy Qi."

"When returning to the court, Commander Tian Zhen did not want to see the King of Qi, but obeyed my orders and organized the army to return quickly."

"It was not until our army returned victorious, the King of Qi died, and the King's orders were completed that Captain Tian Zhen carried his father out into the cold wind."

"In the morning, Commander Tian Zhen is loyal to the emperor and dedicated to his work."

"The Yu family, Commander Tian Zhen is pure and kind."

"I think that Commandant Tian's action is just like a lamb kneeling to its mother's milk and a crow repaying its parents' kindness!"

"Tian Jian has three sons, but only the captain Tian Zhen has such feelings for him. This shows the merits of the Qin Empire's education! The king's influence is so great!"

Although Tian Zhen did not participate in the war to destroy Qi at all.

But as long as Tian Zhen nodded his head, Ying Chengjiao would be able to press the crown of the King of Qi on Tian Zhen's head, and the State of Qi would not perish.

How can this not be considered a great contribution in the war to destroy Qi?

Therefore, Ying Chengjiao had every reason to say this.

Tian Zhen looked at Ying Chengjiao in shock, and called out softly with a heart full of gratitude: "Your Majesty! Why is your grace so great!"

The help Ying Chengjiao gave him was far more than just helping him withstand the rebuke from the court as Ying Chengjiao said, but he clearly used his personal prestige to characterize Tian Zhen's actions!
If Ying Chengjiao's plan succeeds, Tian Zhen's move will not only avoid criticism from the court, but will even win the praise of people all over the world.

After Tian Jian woke up slowly, the first words he heard were what Ying Chengjiao said.

Looking down at Tian Zhen who was carrying him on his back, how could Tian Jian not know what had happened?
For a moment, Tian Jian burst into tears and murmured in a low voice: "I have made few decisions in my life, but I have made countless wrong decisions."

"The only two correct decisions I made were to send Ling'er to Qin and to send Zhen'er to Qin." "How lucky I am to have such a good son and such a good son-in-law!"

On the city gate tower, Ying Zheng's eyes showed some surprise. Obviously, he did not expect Ying Chengjiao to stand up and speak for Tian Zhen.

But Lu Buwei immediately walked to Ying Zheng's side and whispered, "Your Majesty! Filial piety!"

Ying Zheng immediately understood.

For Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao, Tian Jian’s life or death is not important, and Tian Zhen’s future is not important either.

Ying Chengjiao's progress in destroying Qi was too smooth and he killed too few people. If Tian Jian and Tian Zhen really used their identities to cause trouble, it would give Ying Chengjiao a reason to carry out a massacre.

However, through this scene, it is very important for Qin's strategy of governing with filial piety as a supplement to further confirm Qin's admiration for filial piety and further promote filial piety culture in Qin!

Ying Zheng immediately adjusted his expression and nodded generously, "In the court, you are loyal to the emperor and dedicated to your work. In the family, you are filial and kind."

"color!"

"Big win!"

"I can be loyal to my king, filial to my parents, and live up to my country and people!"

"As long as my Great Qin has such a minister, why should we worry about the failure of our great cause? Why should we worry about the failure of our country?"

"Commander Zhen's filial piety should be a model for the world!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Jian hurriedly whispered, "Thank you quickly! And then apologize!"

Tian Zhen had to support Tian Jian with both hands, so it was inconvenient for him to bow, so he quickly bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise!"

"I am able to do this because I have been taught by the Great Qin, and have been with Chang'an Jun for a long time. I have personally seen Chang'an Jun's wife Xiaohan, so I am used to it."

"Just now I was unable to control my emotions and ran away in front of the battle line. I am guilty."

"Please punish me, my king!"

Ying Zheng laughed loudly and said, "I am very pleased that my great Qin has such a filial son. What crime have you committed?"

"Tian Jian, Tian Jian, you are not a wise ruler, but you have a pair of good children, which makes me very envious!"

Tian Jian pushed Tian Zhen away, staggered to the ground, and said with his hands clasped: "The reason why my two children can be like this is because they have lived in Qin for a long time and received Qin's teachings."

"People, thank the King of Qin!"

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction and said in a gentle voice: "I deeply appreciate the filial piety of Commandant Zhen. In order to preserve Commandant Zhen's loyalty to his parents, I will demote Commandant Zhen from his position as the chief clerk of Neihuang County and promote Tian Zhen to be the county magistrate of Xiuwu County (now Huojia County). He will take up the post immediately!"

"Also, County Magistrate Zhen is allowed to visit Tian Jian at any time."

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's order, Tian Zhen and Tian Jian were both overjoyed.

Although Xiuwu County is not in the public area, it is close to the public area. If Tian Zhen really wants to take care of Tian Jian, he can go back and forth in half a day by riding a fast horse.

With Tian Zhen's care, Tian Jian might still be killed by a tiger, but at least he wouldn't have to worry about dying of hunger and cold.

Tian Jian and Tian Zhen hurriedly bowed and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then Tian Jian and Tian Zhen bowed to Ying Chengjiao together, their eyes full of gratitude.

Even Hou Sheng, Mao Sui and others changed their eyes when they looked at Ying Chengjiao.

When they were enemies, there was a country that Ying Chengjiao could really destroy.

But once you leave the battlefield, Ying Chengjiao can really help you when you are in trouble!

Ying Chengjiao gave Tian Jian and his son a faint smile, bowed to Ying Zheng and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Hundreds of thousands of Qin civil and military officials also cheered: "The king is wise!"

Ying Zheng raised his lips, and as the atmosphere became more heated, he shouted, "Order!"

"Drink!"

"Hold a victory banquet to reward the whole army!"

Suddenly, louder and louder cheers rose into the sky.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!!"

Tian Zhen carried Tian Jian onto the prison van and walked alone towards the escort team.

But Ying Chengjiao called out loudly: "Captain Zhen, what are you doing?"

Tian Zhen looked back in astonishment: "Commander?"

Ying Chengjiao waved at Tian Zhen and said with a gentle smile: "The king has only demoted you from your position as chief clerk, and has not demoted you from your position as captain. Don't delay any longer, return to your team quickly and join me in the palace for a feast!"

Tian Zhen wiped away his tears and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
