Chapter 638: The Temple of Military Strategists [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

Wei Ju finally did not reach out his hand to shake hands with Ying Zheng. "I don't have the confidence to stand shoulder to shoulder with the King of Qin and my brother now, but... in the near future, I am sure I will have this confidence!"

Ying Zheng looked at Wei Ju, and suddenly held Wei Ju's hand, forcibly pulling him to his side, standing side by side, "I will wait and see!"

Wei Ju was stunned by Ying Zheng's sudden action, then he smiled calmly and nodded heavily.

Without further ado, Wei Ju bowed and bid farewell to Ying Zheng.

"Give me a hand!" Ying Zheng suddenly said to Zhang Han as they walked out of the courtyard.

Zhang Han was puzzled, but did as he was told.

Only then did he realize that Ying Zheng's arms and back were already wet with sweat.

"Too scary, there are three fathers and sons in this family, and all of them are kings!"

"I was almost intimidated by the opponent's momentum!"

Ying Zheng sighed.

If I hadn't been confident enough, I would have been intimidated by the other party's momentum, but even so, I was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Did the other party poison us?" Zhang Han asked hesitantly.

How could Ying Zheng be turned into this state if it wasn't poison?

"It's more terrible than poisoning!" Ying Zheng shook his head.

In this era, offering sacrifices to the Wenwu Temple was not yet popular, and the various schools of thought and local princes mostly offered sacrifices to the gods of heaven, earth, and the country, as well as their own ancestors.

In addition to Confucianism, there was also a Confucian Temple to commemorate those who made great contributions to Confucianism, which was called the Confucian Temple.

The Temple of Martial Arts is more commonly known as the Temple of Military Strategists.

But even so, there are only a few who can enter the Temple of Military Strategists today.

Nowadays, there are not many people who can be included in the temple of military strategists, and all of them are sages who have made great contributions to military strategists.

The first is the military master Chi You, followed by Lü Shang, the author of Taigong's Art of War, and then there are the recognized wise ministers, Guan Zhong, the pioneer of the Legalists and the teacher of sages, Fan Li, the author of Fan Zi Jiran, Tian Rangju, the Sima of Qi and the author of Sima's Art of War, Wu Qi, the founder of Wei Wuzu, Sun Wu, the Art of War, Le Yi, the first general of Yan State to open up its territory, Tian Dan, the restorer of Qi State, Sun Bin, the author of Sun Bin's Art of War, Zhao She, the famous general of Zhao State, Bai Qi, the killing god of Qin State, and then there are none else.

In their generation, there were not many candidates who might be included in the temple by military strategists. Lian Po and Li Mu, as candidates, had the opportunity to enter after their death.

And any one of these people, at random, is a ruthless person who can save the country from collapse and create a great hegemony for the country.

Also, because military strategists only look at achievements and do not consider national divisions or family status, this list of military strategists is also recognized by various princes and families. It is unlike the Confucian Temple of Ten Philosophers and Seventy-two Sages, which are only recognized by Confucianists themselves.

"Do you know what Wei Ju wants to do?" Ying Zheng turned around and asked.

Zhang Han, Gai Nie, Hei Bai Xuan Jian all shook their heads, but to scare Ying Zheng like this, there must be something terrifying that he said.

"He said that he wanted to enter the Temple of Martial Arts and become another sage in the Temple of Military Strategists." Ying Zheng did not hide it from the three people.

Zhang Han, Gai Nie, Hei Bai Xuan Jian all stopped in their tracks. It was a bit scary.

"With his status, wouldn't it be better for him to just lie down?" Hei Bai Xuan Jian complained in a low voice as he moved forward again.

If Princess Wannian is the most favored of all and was born noble, then Wei Ju is no less capable. He can just wait for death and be a second-generation descendant. With the protection of his father and brother, no one in the world dares to mess with him.
Even if Qin destroyed Wei, no one would dare to attack Wei Ju, as he was provided with good food and drink.

"I'm not afraid of the second generation eating, drinking and having fun, I'm just afraid of the second generation starting a business!" Zhang Han was silent for a long time before he uttered this sentence.

If Wei Ju just lived a life of idleness and waited for death, the Qin State would really meet all his demands and ensure his safety.

But if Wei Ju really messed around, he would probably die.

Gai Nie did not speak, but he agreed with what the two said. Wei Ju, who did not do anything reckless, could be said to be the safest person in the world.

"The problem is, what Wei Ju wants to do may actually succeed!" Ying Zheng sighed.

"!!!" Zhang Han, Hei Bai Xuan Jian and Gai Nie stopped again.

If other people said so, they would not believe it, but since Ying Zheng said so, it also meant that Ying Zheng really believed that Wei Ju had the potential to be listed in the Temple of Martial Arts and become one of the sages in the Temple of Military Strategists.

"Is it the navy?" Gai Nie suddenly thought of it.

The Temple of Military Strategists has a variety of military books and tactics, covering everything from cavalry to infantry to formation combinations.

However, these military books and tactics do not include the navy!

Therefore, if Wei Ju could really integrate the navy into his tactics, it would be a case of overtaking others and filling a major gap in the military strategists' knowledge of water warfare. It would be natural for him to enter the Temple of Military Strategists.

"Yes, Wei Ju wanted to become the only designated commander of the Qin navy and control all the navies in the world. He even volunteered to reduce his title to a lower rank." Ying Zheng sighed.

Being demoted two levels from Duke to Earl, is that something that most people would dare to do?
"I can only say that he is worthy of being the son of Lord Xinling and the younger brother of Lord Bingling!" Zhang Han and the other two, who had been shocked for a long time, had to admit that this family's genes are really good.

"Has the king agreed?" Gai Nie asked hesitantly.

"Yeah!" Ying Zheng nodded.

The other party dared to come to Xianyang in person, how could he not agree?

If he does not agree, the naval warfare tactics may be the first to be used against the Qin State.

If Qin lost, Wei Ju would have to step on the corpses of the Qin people to enter the Temple of Martial Arts.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to help the other party and let the State of Chu serve as a stepping stone for the other party.

A ruler must be able to divert trouble away!
"Since the other party has surrendered voluntarily, then my Great Qin cannot make things difficult for him!" Ying Zheng finally relaxed and stood up straight.

"Zhang Han, Hei Bai, listen to my orders!" Ying Zheng spoke in a solemn voice.

"I (this old slave) am here!" Zhang Han looked at Hei Bai Xuan Jian in confusion, why don't you play by the rules again?
"Spread the word that I am using Princess Wannian as a threat to force Prince Ju to come to Xianyang and put him under house arrest!" Ying Zheng said in a solemn voice.

In return, Wei Ju offered a 100,000-man navy, so that Qin could not allow him to be accused of treason.

The Qin State took the blame for him.

"Yes!" Zhang Han and Hei Bai Xuan Jian nodded.

"But there is no need to keep an eye on Prince Ju. All his food, clothing and other expenses in Qin are paid for by the national treasury. There is no need to restrict his actions." Ying Zheng softened his tone.

The house arrest of Wei Ju was just a statement made by the Qin State to the outside world, so as to prevent Wei Ju from being branded as a traitor.

Wei Ju should still be given freedom and rights internally.

"Since Prince Ju wants to enter the Temple of Military Strategists, then my Great Qin will lend him a helping hand!" Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Zhang Han, Hei Bai and Xuan Jian nodded. Only Ying Zheng had the courage to do this.

Carrying a general into the Temple of Military Strategists, do other princes dare to do this?
All those sages in the Temple of Military Strategists helped Great Xia to be on the verge of collapse, but they were all suspected by the kings.

It can be said that almost all those who can enter the Temple of Military Strategists will suffer misfortune in their later years.

Their glory is also their sorrow.

To put it nicely, it sounds like saving a collapsing building, but in reality it is detrimental to the master and makes his achievements frightening.
