Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 17

Li Mu's words made all the ministers who opposed Ziying's return to Raoyang in the name of national security all stupefied in place, speechless.

This is not without precedent. Qin Guo granted the son a pass through Shu, with Chen Zhuang as his prime minister.King Zhao Wuling once granted the eldest son Zhang Yudai the title of Lord Anyang, and appointed Tian Buli as his prime minister.So, doing this is a matter of emotion, reason, and law.

You think that letting Ziying go back to succeed Lord Raoyang is likely to be the same as the original Lord Mengchang of Qi State. Now I propose that the king can send the king to handle the government affairs, and the army can specially appoint a general to take charge of it.It just so happens that Ziying is still young, so there is nothing wrong with such an arrangement. What other opinions do you have?
The reason why Li Mu helped Ziying was not only because of national affairs, but also because he was grateful for Ziying's actions yesterday. The communication in the morning also made Li Mu feel that Ziying is a kind person.

King Zhao Yuxiang saw that Li Mu said that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty no longer had any objections.Immediately said: "There is no objection. I ordered Zhao Ziying, the son of Lord Raoyang, to return to Raoyang and take the throne of Raoyang. Lord Raoyang was young, and he was afraid that he would not care about political affairs, so he ordered Xu Cheng, a fake internal history, to follow him. Shouxiang, the internal historian is in charge of the country's taxation, money, and financial revenue and expenditure. There is no record of his deputy. According to the title of the deputy prime minister, this secretary is a fake internal history), assisting Lord Raoyang in commanding internal affairs, and the generals who lead the army in Raoyang can be competent choice?"

Zhao Wang decided Ziying's next fate with a few words, and at the same time appointed Xu Cheng, a fake internal historian, to assist Ziying in handling internal affairs.However, King Zhao Mourning, the candidate for the leading general, did not decide immediately.

It is not a good job to go to Raoyang to lead the army. There are many troops there, and the combat effectiveness of the Qin army's fierce soldiers is obvious to all. However, it is not so easy for Zhao's generals to command the Qin army. It's easy to say, if a mutiny in the military camp kills him, it will be hard to say.

Therefore, it is best for those who go to command the army to have a close relationship with Ziying, and to get the full support and cooperation of Ziying, so that they can take over the army smoothly without causing incidents.

The one who meets the requirements is Sima Shang who has taken care of Ziying for three years. This old man is ignorant of the world and often opposes his own opinions. Zhao Wang has long been unhappy, but Zhao Wang knows that Sima Shang accompanied Li Munan all these years. Conquering the north and making great contributions to Zhao Guoli, it is really inconvenient to drive him out of the court without a suitable reason.

What's more, Sima Shang has already become the deputy general of Zhao Guo, and he went to Raoyang to lead an army, which is equivalent to a direct demotion.

As soon as King Zhao finished speaking, he asked all the courtiers to propose suitable candidates, but their eyes were fixed in Sima Shang's direction from time to time.

When everyone was thinking about it, they saw a short middle-aged man who was second in the line of civil servants come out and said, "One of the ministers recommended him."

"Well, it's okay for Guo Xiangguo to say it." The one who spoke was Guo Kai, the fake minister. He had been silent before, but when he saw Zhao Wang's gaze, he immediately understood what the king was thinking. Trying to figure out what he wanted was his strong point.

And Zhao Wang also had great trust in him. In fact, there are some unofficial records that Guo Kai's flattery to Zhao Wang has reached the point where it can be said to be disgusting.It is said that King Zhao Mourning suffered from hemorrhoids, and every time he had an attack, the pain was unbearable. Guo Kai even hacked into King Zhao's back door to relieve his pain.

"My minister believes that General Sima Shang is the best choice. Lord Rao Yang has lived in General Sima's mansion for a long time, and he is very familiar with each other. General Sima will go to lead the army, and Lord Rao Yang will fully support him. Moreover, General Sima has been fighting with Qin for a long time, and he is dedicated to the integrity of the country. Trustworthy." Guo Kai said bluntly.

Without any scruples about Sima Shang's thoughts, he directly mentioned that Sima Shang had fought against the Qin army many times. Presumably, there were not a few Qin troops who died in his hands, and there was basically no possibility of treason.

This sentence also directly spoke to Zhao Wang's heart. Although he thought Sima Shang was very annoying, it was because Sima Shang often sang against his own ideas.But for Sima Shang's loyalty, Zhao Wang did not have the slightest doubt.

However, King Zhao did not expect that Sima Shang, whom he trusted so much, was no longer ready to work for him because of Gai Nie's order.

After Guo Kai finished speaking, Li Mu frowned slightly, Sima Shang was his lieutenant general for many years, the two cooperated tacitly, and he objected to letting his old general go to Raoyang.But he proposed the proposal at the beginning, and after thinking about it, there was no more suitable candidate.

Guo Kai's proposal can be said to be in the heart of Sima Shang. After Gai Nie made Momen no longer assist the six countries to resist Qin, Sima Shang has been looking for opportunities to leave the power center of Zhao State.

This incident can be said to be a very good opportunity, not only to stay away from the court, but also to get along with the future giants, but in this way, the only person I am sorry for is my old partner Li Mu. He can do it on his own.

Thinking of this, Sima Shang immediately came out and said: "I am willing to go with Lord Raoyang and I will be sealed." After speaking, he stood in the court hall and waited for King Zhao's decision.

Although King Zhao has always been unhappy looking at Sima, at this moment King Zhao Mourning looked at Sima, who was standing in the court hall, his temples were already turning white, and he had a different feeling.

This is the loyal minister and good general of my country of Zhao!Even if it is equivalent to dispatching to the frontier, he has no complaints, and he is dedicated to the country. I really feel sorry for this old general who has fought for the Zhao country for most of his life.

Immediately said: "The old general asks for orders to go to Raoyang. I am very relieved. With the general here, how dare the country of Yan go westward and make Sima Shang the Marquis of Wu Sui. All the ministers may have objections."

Even if Zhao Wangdang wanted to make up for Sima Shang, even if he let him follow Ziying, he would seal Raoyang.But he was rewarded above the title.

Today, the Zhou royal family has long been destroyed by Qin.Therefore, the kings of various countries no longer have to worry too much about rewarding titles.Although the marquis was inferior to the monarchy at that time, it was already considered a very high title.

Moreover, there is still a real Marquis. Although Wu Sui is also on the border of Yanzhao, it is at least a city.

This is good, Ziying succeeded Lord Raoyang, but he didn't resist, and a Marquis with a fief popped out at that moment.

The first one to jump out was Guo Kai who proposed Sima Shang to go, there was no way he suggested that Sima Shang go with him, of course he had to do the job of wiping his ass.

"Your Majesty, think twice. Although General Sima Shang has made great achievements in battle, there are still a few people who are comparable in the army. Please take back your order." After Guo Kai thought about it, he couldn't offend Sima Shang too much, after all, his old partner Li Mu Not to be trifled with.

He went on to say: "The country of Yan has no righteousness. Wuyuan rebelled against Zhao in the past, and he broke his promise after Changping. According to the daily news report, he is now raising troops on the border with unruly intentions. Raoyang is out of the relationship between the two countries. It is better to order General Sima Shang to leave the town. At the time of Raoyang, take the troops and horses of the headquarters to go out of Liyang, and if you win the battle, you can make the general Marquis of Liyang, so everyone can discuss it.”

Guo Kai's meaning is very simple, Sima Shang's military exploits are not enough to be a Marquis, if other generals will have opinions on him, it happens that Rao Yang and Li Yang of Yan State are on the same border, why not let Sima Shang attack and beat him down? Just make him a marquis, so that others have nothing to say.
