Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 135

From the perspective of Ziying's words, Li Xin's crime of attacking Chu is not so serious, and some ministers who are holding back their words and want to put Li Xin to death have no reason to attack.

At this time, Zhou Hao, the internal historian, once again stepped forward and said: "It is absurd for Chang'an to say that Li Xin's meritorious deeds are considerable. Chuxiong has dominated the southeast for hundreds of years. Such a big country wants to attack it with 20 troops. This is Li Xin's fault! "

After all, I have offended Li Xin and Lord Chang'an just now. If Li Xin makes a comeback, I will definitely not have my own good fruit to eat. Chu's fault.

At worst, it wouldn't give Li Xin the chance to return to the battlefield.

After Zhou Hao finished speaking, Ziying breathed a sigh of relief. Li Xin was saved this time, and Zhou Hao's words were really a godsend.

Attacking Chu with 20 people, although Li Xin boasted of Haikou, but it was King Qin Zhao Zheng who finally made the decision. Zhou Hao beat the rake, and even took pictures with King Qin indiscriminately.

In this way, Li Xin will definitely be fine. As for Zhou Hao, who wanted to implicate himself with this, seeing Zhao Zheng's suddenly gloomy face, he probably didn't need to fight back, and no one could save him if he wanted to die.

"I ask the king to allow Li Xin to attack Chu with him, in order to repay your favor!" At this moment, another angry word reached everyone's ears.

According to the reputation, it was the general Wang Jian who spoke. Wang Jian, who had lived a life of ups and downs in the officialdom, saw the change in King Qin's face immediately, and immediately came forward to speak.

Moreover, Li Xin was also under Wang Jian's command when he attacked Yan, so Wang Jian was also deeply impressed by Li Xin who was brave and good at fighting.

For today's Qin Dynasty, Wang Jian can be said to be like a giant pillar of the sky. Naturally, the weight of his words is not the same as that of Ziying, and the attack on Chu still needs to rely on Wang Jian.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Jian made a statement, the matter can be said to be settled.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Jian finished speaking, Zhao Zhengdang said in a condensed voice: "In this way, I worship Li Xin as the vanguard of defeating Chu, and I will take the crime and make meritorious service!"

"Li Xin kowtows to the king for his grace!" Li Xin, who was kneeling at the end of the hall, immediately stood up when he heard the words, and kowtowed heavily.

"Your Majesty..." Seeing this, Neishi Zhou Hao wanted to say something more, but Zhao Zheng snorted coldly at him, ignored him, and left with the support of several eunuchs.

Within a few days, Shi Zhou Hao was dismissed and investigated for corruption.

In the 23rd year of Qin Wangzheng, after the new year, Qin's 60 troops have gathered in Xianyang, and the time for the second expedition to attack Chu has arrived.

This expedition can be said to be a desperate attempt for Qin. If it cannot win, unifying the world is empty talk.

On the day of the expedition, Qin Wang Zhao Zheng rarely came to Bashang in the western suburbs of Xianyang to hold a farewell banquet for Wang Jian, Ziying and others.

During the banquet, Wang Jian said respectfully to the King of Qin: "Your Majesty drinks this, and I invite you."

When Wang Jian toasted, Zhao Zheng drank the wine in one gulp. He put the wine cup aside and asked, "What do you want to say, General?"

After Zhao Zheng asked, Wang Jian kneaded and took out a scroll of slips from his sleeve and handed it to King Qin.

Zhao Zheng took the slip over suspiciously, and opened it to see that it was full of beautiful houses in good fields in Xianyang and surrounding counties. The detailed location and radius of each place were written in great detail. Those who have done so have already done some homework on these farms.

After reading the bamboo slips handed over by Wang Jian, Zhao Zheng was full of doubts. What was Wang Jian's intention at such a moment?He looked at Wang Jian in bewilderment.

Wang Jian's face turned red, and he continued in a low voice: "I ask the admiral to grant these houses to my family."

When Wang Jian said this, Zhao Zheng and the other generals who participated in the banquet understood what Wang Jian's purpose was.

At this time, Zhao Zheng had already put all his thoughts on the matter of conquering the state of Chu, and he was quite dumbfounded at Wang Jian's request. , It’s okay for the widow to share wealth with the general, why worry about poverty, and love this wealth.”

Wang Jian replied submissively: "The minister is old. Although the king regards you as a noble minister, the honor is like a brocade at the head of Guizhou, which is in vain. It is not as good as in the eyes of the minister. Give more good land and beautiful houses, which can be used as foundation for future generations. The favor of the king."

At this time, Wang Jian did not have the demeanor of the great general of Qin, he was completely in the state of a common man planning for future generations.

Even the generals of the Qin army looked at Wang Jian with surprise at this time, and they really couldn't understand why the veteran Wang Jian would take advantage of the opportunity of attacking Chu to "blackmail" King Qin to demand so many fields and houses.

I am afraid that Ziying, who is familiar with this period of history, understands the reason why Wang Jian did this.

If the historical records of the previous life are not bad, this is just the beginning. During the process of conquering Chu, Wang Jian sent no less than five batches of envoys to ask the King of Qin for the fields and houses.

In this attack on Chu, Wang Jian can be said to have mastered the entire country's army and has the power to subvert the status quo. In such a situation, no monarch may feel at ease.

King Qin's initial veto of Wang Jian's 60 troops to attack Chu was partly due to this factor. After all, the risk it took was too great.

Wang Jian has served the King of Qin for many years, and he was able to achieve the position of a general step by step. Apart from his numerous military exploits, he has a very thorough understanding of King Qin's character.

Wang Jian's move seems to be taking the opportunity of the expedition to ask for land and houses. It is easy to give people the impression of being greedy for money, but in fact it is like the heart of King Anqin through his greed for money.

After all, the king is rich all over the world, and the ministers who are greedy for property are not afraid of them. What he fears are the ministers who support soldiers and self-respect.

Sure enough, after listening to Wang Jian's answer, Zhao Zheng couldn't help laughing out loud, and immediately agreed to Wang Jian's request one by one.

Zhao Zhenggang agreed to Wang Jian's request, never thought that Ziying would immediately stand up and say: "I also have a request, I hope the king will agree."

After hearing Ziying's words, Zhao Zheng couldn't help laughing again.

"Mr. Chang'an, do you also want to ask Gu for a good land and a beautiful house?"

As Ziying, who has known the history for a long time, he has already made plans to follow suit. However, Lord Chang'an's reputation of not loving money has spread all over the world when he rescued the victims of Zhaodi, and he asked for the farmhouse It would be too fake.

Moreover, he was only a teenager, so it would be even more inappropriate to say something about his children and grandchildren.

However, Ziying had thought about this for a long time, and immediately replied: "What I'm asking for is not a farm.

Raoyang, the feudal land of Yingying, is far away from Xianyang, and the affairs are complicated and not too disturbing. I ask the king to send officials to take care of one or two on his behalf. "
