"The titles of our Qin Kingdom have always been based on military merit."
"I was promoted to level six all of a sudden. I'm afraid the other soldiers will be dissatisfied."
What the official said was reasonable and on point.
It sounds like that's indeed what happened.
but!
A long line of military generals sitting in the hall sneered at the same time.
"We accept it!"
The civil servant was stunned for a moment.
Obviously did not respond.
"What... what?"
Wang Ben glanced back, turned his head and said, "Didn't you hear it clearly? Do you want us to say it again?"
The civil servant naturally heard it clearly, he just didn't react for a while.
He glanced down at Lu Buwei and saw that the prime minister was still indifferent, so he understood his attitude.
That is, Meng Tian must not be allowed to become the Zuo Shu Chief.
If Meng Tian becomes the chief of Zuo Shu, then he will be the first direct member of Ying Zheng.
Relying on Meng Ao's remaining power in the army, maybe he will actually make some money for them.
Although military generals have military power, their status in the court is not as good as that of civil servants.
As the saying goes, if a civil official talks, a general will lose his legs.
Unless you want to rebel, you have to follow the orders given by civil servants.
Of course, this premise must be business.
Civil servants play a leadership role as well as a command role.
The military attaches must obey their orders, and they must fight to the end even if they have to endure untold hardships.
Therefore, since ancient times, many loyal and courageous generals have died due to the calculations and conspiracies of civilian officials.
Military expenditures, food and grass dispatch.
These are all controlled by civil servants.
The aorta was pinched by others, so I had to lower my head.
Facing the menacing Wang Ben, the civil servant was not afraid at all.
Moreover, he has the support of Lord Xiangguo behind him.
"Ridiculous! What's the use of your service? Can you represent the hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border?"
Wang Benhu stared: "Of course..."
"Cough cough."
Suddenly, a loud cough interrupted his words.
This time it wasn't Lu Buwei's cough.
But Wang Jian!
Wang Ben naturally has the ability to control his soldiers.
However, this must not be said.
Every soldier belongs to the country and the monarch.
They should only listen to one person.
But this person must not be the general who leads them!
If Wang Ben says that he can represent hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border, do you mean that your words are more effective than the words of the king and the words of the Queen Mother?
Wang Ben was so angry that he almost fell into the attack of the old Yinbi opposite him.
If Wang Jian hadn't interrupted him in time.
This sentence alone could convict him of his sin.
The civil servant on the other side saw Wang Ben's face full of anger but had to suppress it, and immediately raised a proud sneer at the corner of his mouth.
After giving him a contemptuous glance, he turned to Ying Zheng and said, "I feel that the king's move is unfair, and I would like to ask the king to take back his order."
Ying Zheng's sharp, cold gaze fell directly on him.
The anger in his heart was ten times and a hundred times greater than that of Wang Ben!
Ying Zheng's lips twitched a few times, and he had no choice but to prepare to withdraw his previous proposal.
But at this moment, a low-pitched voice sounded from the end.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that the king's life is not as important as a few military achievements?"
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Discover the speaker, who is the protagonist of this matter.
Meng Tian!
The civil servant frowned, turned around and shouted: "Bold, what is your identity? You have no right to speak here!"
It is true that Meng Tian has a good family background, but his current official position is not high.
If he hadn't been specially summoned to escort Ying Zheng back to Xianyang, he wouldn't even be qualified to attend the court meeting at this time.
The eyes of all the civil and military officials fell on Meng Tian.
Although Meng Tian was not embarrassed, he still couldn't help but squeeze his palms.
He knew what his position as Zuo Shu Zhang meant.
It is not an official position.
It is the beginning of the contest between the King of Qin and the Prime Minister!
Therefore, he must strive for this position no matter what.
Li Mo had already anticipated this situation when he was in the restaurant yesterday.
No matter what the King of Qin proposes, as long as it is beneficial to himself and not beneficial to Lu Buwei.
There will be objections from the civil servants.
And they will use laws and regulations to refute them until they are speechless.
Civil servants have no other abilities, but this mouth can confuse right and wrong like no one can!
For this reason, Li Mo specially gave Meng Tian an idea before leaving.
Don’t you just like to do the little things on the line?
Then it depends on who wears the hat high!
Meng Tian stood up from his seat and walked to the center of the hall without being humble or arrogant under the gaze of hundreds of eyes.
He said respectfully: "Back to the king, I have something to say."
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up slightly.
"Precise play."
"Well, thank you, Your Majesty."
Meng Tian turned around and faced the civil servant.
He asked in a sonorous voice: "Master Gao, I would like to ask you a question, Lord Gao."
"Is the king's life more important, or the enemy's life?"
The civil servant sneered, cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng on the throne, and said without hesitation: "Of course the king's life is important!"
"Except for the Queen Mother, even the lives of thousands of people in the world cannot be compared with the safety of the King."
Although Ying Zheng has no real power, his identity is here after all.
Even Lu Buwei cannot say in public that he is more important than the current king.
Meng Tian's face was expressionless, showing no emotion or anger.
He just asked angrily: "If this is the case, then is the life of the king no more than a few heads of the enemy soldiers?"
The civil servant was immediately speechless!
Staring at him in astonishment.
"You... what did you say?"
The expressions of all the civilians and military officers around him suddenly became exciting.
Meng Tian's words undoubtedly put the civil servant on the fire.
Seeing that he was unable to refute for a while, Meng Tian continued to aggressively say: "The general saved the king from danger. This is a great achievement."
"How come when it comes to your mouth, the king's safety is not as good as the heads of a few enemy soldiers."
"Do you think the life of the king is less important than the lives of the enemy soldiers?"
"Or do you think that the king's safety is not as good as a few military exploits?"
"You dare to despise the king's safety. Doesn't it mean that you don't take the king seriously at all?"
"Master Gao, you have such great authority!"
Meng Tian's sentences are exquisite, and every word touches his heart.
The civil servant was sweating profusely.
The last sentence of Wang Zha was so explosive that his legs weakened and he fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Meng Tian is so slanderous that I have never had such thoughts before."
"The king's safety is naturally of paramount importance and is the most important matter in the world."
