Da Qin: Become stronger and immortal by picking up attributes from the battlefield

Chapter 195: Rewarding Zhao Feng! Ying Zheng's dominance!

Hear about Ying Zheng's reward to Huan Yi.

In addition to some rewards of gold, silver, money, and beautiful women, the title was promoted to a higher level.

There is nothing unexpected about this.

After all, Huan Yi led the Hangu camp and made considerable contributions in this battle.

If there is no title or reward, it would be hard to justify.

"Great King Shengming."

All the civil and military officials in the court said in unison.

But Ying Zheng did not stop talking, and said with a thoughtful look, "As for Zhao Feng."

All the civil and military officials in the court focused their attention on Ying Zheng.

"Zhao Feng, the first to conquer Wei."

"Deserves a heavy reward."

"Flooding Daliang prevented the loss of our Great Qin warriors and preserved our Great Qin's national strength. This is an even greater achievement."

"Pass the imperial edict."

"Zhao Feng has made contributions to the country, and is granted the second rank of nobility, the title of [Si Che Shu Chang], and enjoys the nobility's annual salary and the establishment of a nobility's personal guard."

"Give him ten thousand gold coins, one hundred thousand coins, a thousand jade articles, a thousand slaves, give Zhao Feng's wife the title of Wang Yan [Madam], in addition to the annual salary of the title, and give him ten thousand acres of unowned good land."

Under the gaze of his ministers, Ying Zheng spoke slowly.

The words fell.

Everyone in the court was shocked.

As for Zhao Feng's promotion to a higher title, everyone thought of such a reward.

But they didn't expect that Ying Zheng would promote Zhao to a higher rank by two levels at once.

No one thought of it.

"Your Majesty."

"Absolutely not."

"When General Zhao Feng annihilated the Wei army in Yanggao City, the king had already generously promoted General Zhao Feng to a higher rank."

"Now that I have been promoted two levels, it seems that the reward is too generous."

"You know, the highest-ranking general in my Great Qin, General Wang Jian, is only a rank of sixteenth-level noble."

"Although Zhao Feng has made great contributions in the war, he is too young and has little experience."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Wang Wan immediately stood up and started speaking loudly.

"The veteran seconded the proposal."

"My Great Qin has been promoted to the 20th level of nobility. Now General Zhao Feng is already the most powerful official in the country. If he is given an additional title now, what will happen if he has nothing left to be given in the future?"

"Please be cautious, Your Majesty." Wei Zhuang immediately stood up and said.

There was also a strong warning in his tone.

There is nothing that can be sealed.

These four words.

Throughout history, many officials have died because of these four words.

The same was true of Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an in the past.

He held the rank of National Commandant, a rank twenty levels higher than that of a noble, and was granted the title of Lord for his military prowess.

For him.

It has reached the point where it cannot be sealed anymore.

And after that.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Yingji, issued an edict ordering Bai Qi to lead troops to destroy Zhao. However, because it was impossible to destroy Zhao, Bai Qi refused and was subsequently executed.

Wei Zhuang's seemingly careless words actually contained murderous intent.

If an ordinary emperor heard this, he would definitely become alert and fearful.

and.

Wei Zhuang was not only concerned about the sentence "there is no other title to be given", but also about Wang Wan's previous sentence that Wang Jian was only of the sixteenth rank.

But the real meaning is to put the relationship between Wang Jian and Zhao Feng on the surface.

Wang Jian was originally a general with military power, and so was his son-in-law Zhao Feng.

The two old foxes were just short of saying that the combined military power of these two men could affect his position as King of Qin.

In this court room.

Many ministers could hear it clearly and understand it.

But no one dared to speak at this moment.

"Wang Jian and Zhao Feng command a total of 600,000 to 700,000 troops. We must avoid this threat."

"Your Majesty, you must also treat this with caution."

"If you hold military power, you must be on guard."

"Under such a righteous cause, the king would even feel wary of Zhao Feng." Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang sneered in their hearts.

The words have been made so clear.

It seemed like a situation that they had to face, and no matter how they thought about it, they could imagine that this was a losing situation for Wang Jian and Zhao Feng.

No emperor could tolerate this!
"As the two gentlemen said."

"In our Great Qin army, we cannot judge based on military merit, but on seniority and age?" Wang Jian stood up and said with a bit of coldness.

Without waiting for Wang Wan and the other two to reply.

Wang Jian looked at Ying Zheng who was in a high position again and said: "Your Majesty, from what these two prime ministers said, it seems that they think that Zhao Feng and I are father-in-law and son-in-law, so they are becoming more powerful because of this and rebelling against Your Majesty."

"If this causes suspicion in the court, they will think that Zhao Feng and I hold too much military power."

"I, your humble servant, would like to resign from my post as the commander of the Lantian Camp Guard and return home."

Wang Jian came directly with a big wave.

Retire and return home.

As soon as these words fell.

The ministers in the court looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wang Jian is now in his prime, so how can he be old?

However, judging from the meaning of Wang Jian's words, he was obviously serious.

Although there were hidden ulterior motives in Wang Wan and the others' words.

But what they said is indeed true.

Military power is extremely important to any emperor. Even the most powerful emperor will be on guard against and suppress his subjects, and will place spies around them.

Although civil officials have power, they are not powerful enough to abuse power because they have no soldiers.

However, military officials hold military power, especially generals who hold power over hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The impact is too great and we have to guard against it.

Knowing the face but not the heart.

Even the emperor is like this. He gives power to his subjects, but if the subjects have the intention to rebel, that is not certain.

Wang Jian was the commander of the Lantian camp's guard, and Zhao Feng was the commander of the Wu'an camp's guard. Both of them had military power over 600,000 soldiers. If the father-in-law and son-in-law conspired to rebel, who in the Qin Dynasty could stop them?

This situation seems unbearable for any emperor.

then.

It might have been a great favor for Ying Zheng to allow his daughter from the royal family to marry Zhao Feng. After all, Zhao Feng had not reached such a level of power at that time.

Now it seems a little different when I think about it.

"Wang Jian, stop talking nonsense."

Meng Wu stood up and said to Wang Jian.

There was also a hint of admonition in his eyes, signaling Wang Jian to stop talking.

Although the two are constantly fighting with each other, they are all trying to get further.

But when he heard Wang Jian say that he wanted to retire and return home, Meng Wu naturally could not stand it.

"I'm not talking nonsense."

"Since both prime ministers have said that Zhao Feng and I are father-in-law and son-in-law, and that we hold most of the military power in the Qin Dynasty, I will retire and return home today to avoid upsetting others." Wang Jian said with a cold face.

Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang did not say anything about this.

It seemed that they were also happy to see this scene.

after all.

The combined power of Zhao Feng and Wang Jian was too great.

Although today's actions seemed to offend the two of them, thinking about Zhao Feng's original attitude towards them, it seemed that they had already been offended a long time ago.

If Wang Jian could be made to give up his military power, it would seem to be a good thing.

now.

Fusu didn't speak.

Hu Hai did not speak.

Obviously.

In their view, the combination of Wang Jian and Zhao Feng's families was too powerful.

They all yearned for the position of crown prince and naturally thought about the future. Having such a powerful minister was indeed not a good thing.

But no one noticed.

When Ying Zheng heard that Wang Jian was going to retire and return home for Zhao Feng, a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

"Feng'er."

"You found a good father-in-law."

"In this way, I will feel more at ease with him."

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian with great satisfaction.

This time.

It also allowed Ying Zheng to see Wang Jian's friendship with Zhao Feng.

He held such a high position as general but was willing to give it up for Zhao Feng.

As a father, Ying Zheng also felt that Zhao Feng had really chosen the right person.

This time!

Ying Zheng spoke up: "Okay."

All the ministers' eyes were focused on the high position.

now.

Wang Jian has already requested to retire and return home, and the final decision obviously lies with Ying Zheng.

In the eyes of many ministers.

Now Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang have put Wang Jian and Zhao Feng, the father-in-law and son-in-law, on the spot. For any emperor, it is impossible to accept that the two father-in-law and son-in-law are in charge of an army of 600,000 soldiers, which is almost half of the military power of the Qin Dynasty.

For the majesty of being a king, power!
All have a great impact.

and so.

Ying Zheng would most likely agree to Wang Jian's resignation, or at worst would let Wang Jian rest.

"You are now in your prime, Mr. Wang. How can you talk about retiring and returning home?"

"I will pretend I have never heard of this." Ying Zheng said slowly.

As soon as these words fell.

All the civil and military officials in the court looked at Ying Zheng in shock.

Despite such a great opportunity to give up his military power, Ying Zheng actually refused.

Even Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang, who were like old foxes, were surprised at this moment.

"What happened, my king?"

"We have handed the king a legitimate way to reduce his power, but he refuses to accept it?"

"Could it be that Your Majesty really doesn't worry about Wang Jian and Zhao Feng at all?"

"Even if the king is not worried, he still has to think about the future."

"The great king has great talent and strategy, and can conquer everything. But in the future, not everyone will be the king."

Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang were feeling extremely complicated at this moment.

They just couldn't understand why Ying Zheng would give up this opportunity.

Although Zhao Feng was not Wang Jian's son, he was half his son.

It can also be said to be a family of two generals.

Is this not enough to make Ying Zheng afraid?

"Your Majesty."

"Your concerns are not without reason."

"My Wang family and Zhao Feng have received too much grace from you." Wang Jian bowed to Ying Zheng and said.

"This Wang En."

"Your Wang family can afford it."

"Zhao Feng can also bear it."

"Too much power may lead to war."

"I don't care."

"Because, since I can grant you this military power, I trust your loyalty."

"Same." "If one day it really becomes as you all worry, I will naturally be able to calm it down." Ying Zheng's voice was filled with endless domineering power.

"Great King Shengming."

Wei Liao stood up and echoed loudly.

Looking at Wei Liao who stood up.

It has reached the current situation.

The ministers could only bow and shout: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Wang Qing."

"There is no need to mention the so-called retirement and return home from now on."

"I am not the suspicious king."

"Not only you, but all the civil and military officials in the court will treat you fairly as long as they are loyal to me and the Great Qin." Ying Zheng looked down at the court and said in a majestic voice.

This sentence was not just said to Wang Jian.

This was said to all the civil and military officials in the court.

of course!

What Ying Zheng said was not just empty talk, but contained the emperor's infinite dominance and greatness.

And in history.

Ying Zheng indeed did it.

After unifying the country, he never killed any meritorious official.

He had never used the so-called imperial suspicion.

He possesses the confidence of an emperor who looks down on everything and is confident that he can conquer everything.

This is also true.

When he was alive, he dominated the world.

Overwhelm everything.

But after his death, the world was in chaos and Qin II died.

Listening to Ying Zheng's confident words.

Wang Wan and the others didn't say anything else.

Obviously.

Their sudden calculation was wrong.

move.

Not only did they fail to achieve any results, they even offended Wang Jian and Zhao Feng, who were completely offended to death.

"Wei Qing."

"Did you hear clearly about Zhao Feng's reward?"

Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao.

"I heard it clearly." Wei Liao said immediately.

"Just confer rewards according to this imperial edict." Ying Zheng said again.

This statement is final.

No more changes.

Just now, Wang Wan and his group tried to use the relationship between the Wang family and Zhao Feng to make Ying Zheng wary, but now they have even less reason to oppose.

The so called qualifications are a joke.

And Zhao Feng did make military achievements in destroying a country, and they did not use his merits as an excuse to stop him.

"I accept the edict." Wei Liao responded immediately.

"Your Majesty."

"One more thing."

"Flooding Daliang is a remarkable feat."

"Use the overwhelming power of Hongze to destroy the Wei army and let my Great Qin army fight without bloodshed."

"But there will be a great epidemic after Hongze."

"If not handled carefully, the epidemic may spread. Once the epidemic spreads, it will be a cholera disaster for Qin."

"Therefore, this matter still needs to be decided by the king himself." Feng Quji stepped forward and said.

"Doctor Xia, you are the best doctor in the world."

"What do you think about this epidemic?" Ying Zheng looked at Xia Wuqie.

"Return to the king."

"The source of the great epidemic lies in the corpses. As long as the corpses in Daliang City are cleaned up, buried in the loess, and burned, the great epidemic may be avoided."

"After the flood destroyed Daliang City, it was no longer habitable."

"I propose that the city of Daliang be abandoned and sealed off from now on. All the corpses in the city should be buried inside Daliang and Daliang should be sealed off. This will greatly prevent the occurrence of a major epidemic." Xia Wuqie said immediately.

"Gentlemen, did you hear that?"

"A major epidemic does not necessarily happen. It can be controlled as long as proper prevention is taken." Ying Zheng said immediately.

"Your Majesty."

"This matter may require the personal guidance of Doctor Xia." Wang Wan said.

"This old minister is willing to lead the doctors of the Grand Medical Hall to the State of Wei in person." Xia Wuqie asked for the order without any hesitation.

"Can Doctor Xia endure such a long journey?"

The first thing Ying Zheng thought of was Xia Wuqi's health.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"I am an old minister in good health and am still waiting for the day when Qin will unify the country." Xia Wuqie replied with a smile.

This statement is naturally a double entendre.

Now my daughter has been found.

But Xia Wuqi still wanted to see the day when his daughter married Ying Zheng in grand ceremony.

For this day.

Xia Wuqi will see it no matter what.

Hear this.

Ying Zheng smiled: "Okay then."

"Ren Xiao."

Ying Zheng shouted loudly.

"The minister is here."

Ren Xiong outside the hall responded immediately.

"Select 5,000 guards and lead them to protect Dr. Xia and the doctors from the Grand Medical Hall as they go to Wei."

"Wei State has not yet been fully controlled. You must protect it." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"I accept the order." Ren Xiong accepted the order immediately.

"Doctor Xia."

"When you go to Wei, remember not to stray far from the Imperial Guards, and certainly not to leave the barracks."

"Tell Zhao Feng directly how to prevent and control the epidemic and how to respond. You only need to give orders and don't need to do it yourself." Ying Zheng looked at Xia Wuqi and instructed.

"Old minister understands."

Xia Wuqi naturally nodded in response to Ying Zheng's concern.

Finished explaining.

Ying Zheng was still a little worried, so he first said to the court officials, "Okay."

"Today is not a court meeting. Do you have anything else to say?"

"If not, then let's adjourn the court."

Hear the sound.

All the ministers bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "We have no basis to make any report."

"kindness."

"Then let's disperse."

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

He stood up slowly, but his eyes fell on Xia Wuqie and Wang Jian.

"Doctor Xia."

"Wang Qing."

"Let's go to Zhangtai Palace for a chat."

Done.

Ying Zheng turned and walked towards the back hall.

"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty."

The ministers bowed again.

Wait until Ying Zheng's figure completely left the hall.

The ministers slowly dispersed.

Wang Jian slowly walked in front of Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang, glanced at them and said, "Humph."

After snorting coldly.

The coldness in Wang Jian's eyes was undisguised.

Although nothing was said, the meaning was clear.

Feeling Wang Jian’s coldness.

Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang didn't dare to say anything more.

They understand.

In the future, Wang Jian might have to stand against them.

"Two prime ministers."

“What to say and what not to say.”

"It seems that even though you are old, you still haven't seen through it."

Li Si walked slowly over. He watched the court meeting from beginning to end without saying a word.

But at the moment.

He couldn't help but sneer.

"The court official seems very pleased with himself."

"But don't get too complacent."

Wang Wan replied coldly.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister Wang."

"I will never get too complacent no matter what."

Li Si said loudly, then slowly moved closer and whispered, "It's just that this time you have completely offended the Wang family and the Zhao family."

"It will be even more difficult for you to support the eldest son in the future."

"The king thinks highly of General Zhao Feng, and his opinion is very important."

"I hope you can still laugh like this in the future."

Done.

Li Si walked away without even looking back. Looking at his heroic steps, one could imagine how happy he was at that moment.

Looking at Li Si's back.

There was coldness in Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang's eyes, and when their gazes met, it was obvious that they were planning to get together and make some plans.

Many ministers were just watching the show, as the situation seemed to have completely changed this time.

"The Wang family and the two prime ministers have fallen out."

"Wang Xiang and his men supported the eldest son, but now they have created two powerful enemies for him."

"This way."

"The future candidate for the crown prince position is really unpredictable."

"Fortunately, I didn't participate in the dispute between the young masters. Otherwise, if I were involved, the whole clan would be in trouble."

……

Because of Wang Wan's move, some changes occurred in the hearts of the ministers in the court.

When Hu Hai walked down the stairs.

When he walked to Fusu's side.

"Big brother."

"Your two supporters have created two powerful enemies for you."
