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

Chapter 976 Want to make all the immortals bow down? The Qin King's Immortal List!
Ying Chengjiao's words inevitably attracted the attention of the ministers.

As everyone knows, Ying Chengjiao always deals with things rather than people. Even with his political enemy Lu Buwei and enemy generals Li Mu, Pang Nuan, Jiang Qu and other opponents, he only fought with them on the battlefield or in the court. After the fight, he would still treat them with courtesy and even help them.

Except for a few individuals like Lao Ai, few people can still enjoy Ying Chengjiao's targeting after the struggle is over.

Tian Dan did it!
Zheng Anqi sighed without hesitation: "It's time! It's fate!"

"My friend Chunyu had little luck, but he was taken in as a friend by Lord Chang'an, and he narrowly escaped death."

"It's a pity that the heavens were not kind to us and sent down these villains to serve as our weapons!"

Li Si was angry!

I am the most flattering person in the Qin Dynasty, but why are you all here to steal my job?

Li Si quickly echoed, "Yu Guo, Chang'an Jun fought to the death to defeat the enemy."

"Yuyou, Lord Changan will do his best to protect you."

"In terms of loyalty and righteousness, Chang'an Jun wants to have both, which is truly the demeanor of a gentleman in ancient times."

"It's a pity that loyalty and righteousness are hard to achieve at the same time."

"If Chunyu Waishi knew about this in the afterlife, he would also weep and kowtow for this sentiment and this righteousness!"

Zheng Anqi and Li Si's words attracted the support of all the ministers, but Tian Dan was completely confused.

Ying Zheng's words made Tian Dan unpopular with the powerful people in Qi, and Ying Chengjiao's words made Tian Dan despised by the powerful people in Qin.

Tengfu surrendered and his official career went smoothly; Le Xun surrendered and his title was promoted.

Now that I am about to surrender, I have ended up being a nobody? !

Why do you target me like this?

Ying Chengjiao raised his hand to suppress the discussion of the ministers, looked at Tian Dan seriously and said: "I just expressed my feelings, and I have no other intentions. Doctor Tian, ​​there is no need to worry too much."

"If I really wanted to harm Doctor Tian, ​​he wouldn't be alive today."

"I hope that Doctor Tian will govern Tunliu well in the future and relieve me of my worries!"

Tian Dan felt bitter.

How could he, who came from a royal family, not see the current situation clearly?
He is in a difficult situation and has only one way to go, that is to become a lone minister under Ying Chengjiao!

He didn't want to do this, but what could he do?

Tian Dan could only bow his hands solemnly and said: "I will not let you down, Your Majesty!"

Ying Chengjiao gently helped Tian Dan straighten his collar, smiled and nodded: "Very good!"

"Enjoy today's feast!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were always on Ying Chengjiao.

Seeing Tian Dan walking down the long steps in a daze, but regaining his firm steps after going down the steps, and even taking the initiative to talk with Su Jiao and other officials under the command of Chang'an Jun, Ying Zheng couldn't help but curl up a little, and his voice became a little higher: "Where is the fake commander Xue Liang?"

One by one, the Qin generals who played an important role in the war to destroy Qi and the former Qi generals who set an example came forward, listened to Ying Zheng's praise, and then accepted the title bestowed by Ying Chengjiao.

The only sounds around the Qilin Hall were from Ying Zheng, Ying Chengjiao and the recipients of titles, but the atmosphere was becoming increasingly heated.

We have traveled thousands of miles and marched for nearly half a year, isn’t it all for today?
Ying Zheng did not disappoint the expectations of his soldiers.

Ying Zheng never delegated the matter of conferring rewards to others. He personally read out the volumes of military merit records and reward documents. Ying Chengjiao also stayed by Ying Zheng's side, personally changing the titles and crowns of his comrades one by one.

It was not until late in the evening that Ying Zheng finally put down the last volume of his military merit book and secretly moved his legs hidden in his skirt.

However, the ministers and generals who had been sitting for a whole day did not show any signs of fatigue. Instead, under the dual effects of alcohol and titles, they looked up at Ying Zheng with increasing excitement.

Where is Chang'an Jun!

We have all been rewarded handsomely, and our commander-in-chief’s reward should be even greater!

But Ying Zheng did not look at Ying Chengjiao. Instead, he picked up a scroll of silk from the table, looked towards the stairs with a smile in his eyes and said, "May I ask Zheng Xian to come forward!"

Zheng Anqi stood up with an immortal demeanor, walked to the middle of the stairs, waved his sleeves, smiled and bowed: "Commoner Zheng Anqi, pays homage to the King of Qin."

After hearing Zheng Anqi's words, all the ministers on the stage straightened their backs involuntarily. Xu Min, Gan Qiong and other middle-level officials who were sitting relatively low in the seats widened their eyes in disbelief, their eyes full of shock.

Zheng Xian actually calls himself a commoner!
Zheng Xian actually greeted the king!

Ying Zheng's smile became even brighter, and he returned the greeting by bowing his hands: "Everyone in the world knows the name of the thousand-year-old immortal Zheng Xianren!"

"I have repeatedly sent people to ask Zheng Xian to come to Qin to help me, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded."

"Now I have finally got Zheng Xian to come to Qin, and he wants to help me. I am so lucky!"

Zheng Anqi apologized, "It is really because I am so shallow in Taoism that I was blinded by the demons and could not recognize where the Lord God resides and where the heaven and earth are."

"Fortunately, the Lord God has not abandoned me, and the King has favored me. I wish to be able to follow in his footsteps!"

If Mao Sui were here, his eyes would probably turn red when he heard this.

Where is your pride! Where is your reserve! Where is your arrogance!
Lay them all out!
Why are you so arrogant to me, but so fawning to the King of Qin!

Ying Zheng laughed heartily: "Having heard Zheng Xian's words, I am more convinced that my Great Qin will succeed!"

"Pass on my order!" "The immortals who come to Qin should be rewarded generously!"

"I specially confer the title of Immortal Zheng Anqi as the Lord of Qin of Great Qin. His rank is equal to that of a feudal lord, but he will not be promoted to an official position. He will be directly under the command of Lord Chang'an!"

After hearing what Ying Zheng said, there was an uproar in the Qilin Palace!
"Your Majesty! You cannot humiliate the Immortal like this!"

"This is a title of nobility! Even immortals often travel among the human world. How can it be a humiliation to confer a title of nobility on an immortal? If being conferred a title of nobility is a humiliation, then I am willing to be severely humiliated by the king!"

"You are just a killer, how can you be compared with an immortal? Have you ever heard of an immortal being appointed as a lord under the command of a prince? They are free and unfettered, and even the emperor has to treat them with courtesy!"

"That's right! Zheng Xian is willing to come to Qin, which is a blessing from heaven. How can the king force the immortal to submit to him?"

"Your Majesty is truly incompetent! Even if you really want to treat the immortal with the title of a lord, you should also give him food and fiefdom, not the title of a lord!"

No wonder the ministers and generals were so excited.

The title of feudal lord bestowed by Ying Zheng is a good thing for most people in the world, but it is a humiliation for the immortals!

Because the feudal lords must be vassal statesmen of the king!
Ying Zheng's move was tantamount to making the immortals, who were free and unfettered and who were treated with courtesy by the emperor when meeting him, bow down to him!
What's even more outrageous is that listen to the title proposed by Ying Zheng: 椄菶!
There is no county or town named "椄揶" in the world today. Ying Zheng gave this title to Zheng Anqi, which clearly meant that he wanted to confer the title of lord on Zheng Anqi and make him submit to him, but he did not intend to give him a fief.

How stingy! How arrogant! How rebellious!

Ying Zheng's move was not only a humiliation to Zheng Xian, but also a humiliation and provocation to all immortals.

If the immortals punish the Great Qin, what should the Great Qin do?

Even Lu Buwei was quite anxious and asked in a solemn voice: "What do you think, Lord Chang'an?!"

Ying Zheng decided on the treatment of Zheng Anqi and others without consulting his ministers. Lu Buwei knew that Ying Zheng had already made up his mind, and none of the ministers could convince Ying Zheng.

Now the only person who can make Ying Zheng take back the order and make Zheng Anqi and other immortals eliminate their anger is Ying Chengjiao!

Ying Chengjiao said thoughtfully: "Although the title of "椄菶" does not correspond to the place name, the title of "Prince of the Great Qin" does not always correspond to the place name. This move does not exceed the rules."

"The word 椄 means grafting, which is intended to highlight Zheng Anqi's skills."

"The word 菶 means lush vegetation, which shows the king's high expectations for Zheng Anqi."

"This name is really appropriate!"

What made Ying Chengjiao feel it was a coincidence was that the pronunciation of "椄菶" was quite similar to the pronunciation of "eat" in the Min Yue language (jia) (beng).

Mr. 椄菶, Mr. Eating?
If nothing unexpected happens, Mr. Luo can indeed make people all over the world eat a few more bowls of rice.

The title of Mr. 椄菶 is well deserved!

There was a hint of anxiety in Lu Buwei's voice: "I am not asking Lord Chang'an to comment on the title that the king has decided on!"

"Zheng Xian is an immortal after all. How can the king make Zheng Xian submit to him?"

Ying Chengyu asked in confusion: "Why not?"

"I am also a duke under the king's rule. Why can't Zheng Anqi and other immortals be dukes for our Great Qin?"

"Does the Prime Minister mean to say that... the title bestowed upon Zheng Anqi by His Majesty is too high?"

This rhetorical question confused all the ministers around him.

It seems, that’s right!

Although Zheng Anqi and other immortals are high up in the sky, they are now just boys serving under Lord Chang'an.

Chang'an Jun is just a feudal lord under the rule of the king. Could it be that the status of Zheng Anqi and other boys could be higher than that of Chang'an Jun?
Zheng Anqi laughed out loud and said, "What Chang'an Jun said is exactly what I think."

"As a boy under Lord Chang'an, it is my great honor to be granted the title of Lord of Qin like Lord Chang'an!"

"Zheng has nothing but gratitude in his heart, how can he hate it!"

Zheng Anqi bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I, Zheng Anqi, thank you for your kindness!"

Ying Zheng returned the greeting and said sincerely: "I also thank Zheng Xian for helping my Great Qin!"

Zheng Anqi's eyes flickered slightly, and he first glanced at Ying Chengjiao, then at Ying Zheng, and finally smiled softly and returned to his seat.

Ying Zheng watched Zheng Anqi return to his seat before speaking again: "May Lord Lechen come forward!"

One by one, the immortals came forward to accept Ying Zheng's rewards.

Although Ying Chengjiao ranked the twelve immortals according to the practicality of their magic, Ying Zheng treated all of them equally and conferred titles of lord on all of them!

And none of the twelve immortals refused, let alone said anything rude. Instead, they all accepted Ying Zheng's reward willingly and contentedly!

Seeing this scene with their own eyes, the ministers and generals' gazes were almost dull, with shock in their eyes almost bursting out.

The brushes of many historians were left hanging in the air, and their ink soaked the bamboo slips, silk and Chang'an paper, but they remained indifferent.

What did they see?
My king, are you conferring the title of Immortal?!
Is the silk in the king's hand really a piece of silk? It is clearly the List of Immortals!
Even after all twelve immortals accepted their rewards, all the ministers and generals were still immersed in shock and couldn't extricate themselves, and they even turned their heads to look at the platform at the same time.

There, a figure sat above the twelve immortals, looking at Ying Zheng with some helplessness.

As expected, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Ying Chengjiao like all the other ministers and generals, and said with a smile: "Pass it on!"

"Lord Chang'an of the Great Qin, Prince Chengjiao, come forward!"
