Chapter 976 Want to Make All the Immortals Bow Down? The Qin King's Immortal List!
Ying Chengjiao's words inevitably attracted the attention of the ministers.
As we all know, Ying Chengjiao always criticized the matter instead of the person. Even when he was fighting against his political enemy Lu Buwei and enemy generals Li Mu, Pang Nuan, Jiang Qu and other opponents, he only fought on the battlefield or in the court. After the fight, he would still treat them with courtesy, and even help them.
Except for a few people like Lao Ai, few people could still enjoy Ying Chengjiao's targeting after the fight.
Tian Dan did it!
Zheng Anqi sighed without hesitation: "It's the time! It's fate!"
"Chunyu Xiaoyou has a shallow fate, but he was regarded as a friend by Chang'an Jun and almost escaped death."
"It's a pity that God is not good after all, and sent down the thief to be a weapon!"
Li Si was angry!
I am the most flattering person in the Qin Dynasty, but why do you all come to steal my job!
Li Si quickly echoed: "For the country, Chang'an Jun fought to the death to defeat the enemy."
"For friends, Chang'an Jun tried his best to protect them."
"For loyalty and righteousness, Chang'an Jun wanted to have both, which is really the style of a gentleman in ancient times."
"It's a pity that loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve."
"If Chunyu Waishi knew about this in the afterlife, he would also weep for this feeling and righteousness!"
The words of Zheng Anqi and Li Si attracted the ministers to echo, but Tian Dan was completely confused.
Ying Zheng's words made Tian Dan unable to get good things from the powerful and wealthy people of the old Qi, and Ying Chengjiao's words made Tian Dan despised by the powerful and wealthy people of Qin.
Teng Fu surrendered and his official career was smooth, Le Xun surrendered and his title was promoted.
Now I surrender, but I am not a man in the world? !
Why do you target me so much!
Ying Chengjiao raised his hand to suppress the discussion of the ministers, looked at Tian Dan seriously and said: "This lord is just speaking out of emotion, and has no other intentions, Doctor Tian does not need to worry too much."
"If this lord really intends to harm Doctor Tian, Doctor Tian would not be alive today."
"I hope Doctor Tian will govern Tunliu well in the future and relieve this lord of his worries!"
Tian Dan felt bitter.
How could he, who was born in the royal family, not see the current situation clearly?
He was not a human being inside or outside, and there was only one way left for him to go, that is, to be a lone minister under Ying Chengjiao!
He didn't want to do this, but what could he do?
Tian Dan could only bow his hands solemnly and said: "I will not let you down!"
Ying Chengjiao gently helped Tian Dan to straighten his collar, smiled and nodded: "Very good!"
"Enjoy today's banquet!"
Ying Zheng's eyes were always on Ying Chengjiao.
Seeing Tian Dan walking down the long steps in a daze, but regaining his firm steps after going down the steps, and even taking the initiative to talk with Su Jiao and other subordinates under Chang'an Jun, Ying Zheng couldn't help but curl up a little, and his voice became a little higher: "Where is the fake captain Xue Liang?"
One by one, the Qin generals who made great contributions in the war to destroy Qi and the former Qi generals who set an example came forward, listened to Ying Zheng's praise, and then accepted Ying Chengjiao's conferment of titles.
Only Ying Zheng, Ying Chengjiao and the recipients spoke around the Qilin Hall, but the atmosphere was getting more and more heated.
Fighting thousands of miles and going on an expedition for nearly half a year, isn't it for today!
Ying Zheng did not disappoint the expectations of the soldiers.
Never leaving the matter of reward to others, Ying Zheng personally read the volumes of military merit books and reward documents, and Ying Chengjiao also accompanied Ying Zheng by his side, personally changing the crowns for his comrades.
It was not until the sky gradually darkened that Ying Zheng finally put down the last volume of military merit book and secretly moved his legs hidden in his lower garment.
But the ministers and generals who had been sitting for a day did not show any signs of fatigue. Instead, they looked up at Ying Zheng with more excitement under the dual effects of alcohol and titles.
Where is Lord Chang'an!
We have all been rewarded heavily, and the reward for our commander should be even heavier!
But Ying Zheng did not look at Ying Chengjiao, but picked up a scroll of silk from the table, looked at the direction of the stairs with a smile in his eyes and said: "May I ask Zheng Xian to come forward!"
Zheng Anqi stood up with a fairy-like demeanor, walked to the middle of the stairs, shook his sleeves, smiled and bowed: "Commoner Zheng Anqi, pays homage to the King of Qin."
Hearing Zheng Anqi's words, all the ministers on the stage straightened their backs, and Xu Min, Gan Qiong and other middle-level officials who sat relatively low widened their eyes in disbelief, their eyes full of shock.
Zheng Xian claimed to be a commoner!
Zheng Xian greeted the king with a greeting!
Ying Zheng's smile became brighter and brighter, and he returned the greeting by bowing his hands: "Everyone knows the name of the thousand-year-old immortal Zheng Xianren!"
"I have repeatedly sent people to ask Zheng Xian to come to Qin to help me, but unfortunately, they have all failed."
"Now Zheng Xian finally came to Qin and wanted to help me. I am so lucky!"
Zheng Anqi apologized: "It is really that Zheng's Taoism is shallow, and he was blinded by the ghosts and ghosts. He can't recognize where the Lord God lives and where the heaven and earth are."
"Fortunately, the Lord God did not abandon him and the king favored him. I am willing to give Zheng the honor of following the horse's tail!"
If Mao Sui was here, he would probably be red-eyed when hearing this.
Where is your pride! Where is your reserve! Where is your arrogance!
Show it all!
Why are you so arrogant to your true appearance, but so flattering to the King of Qin!
Ying Zheng laughed heartily: "Having heard Zheng Xian's words, I am more convinced that my Great Qin will achieve great success!"
"Pass on my order!" "The immortal who enters Qin should be rewarded generously!"
"I specially appoint the immortal Zheng Anqi as the Lord of Qin, with the same rank as a feudal lord, without any official title, and directly under the command of Lord Chang'an!"
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, there was an uproar in the Qilin Palace!
"Your Majesty! You can't humiliate the immortal like this!"
"This is a title of a lord! Even immortals often travel in the human world. How can it be a humiliation to give an immortal a title of a lord? If being a lord is also a humiliation, then I am willing to be severely humiliated by the king!"
"You are just a killer, how can you be compared with an immortal? Have you ever heard of immortals worshipping as lords under the command of princes? They are free and unfettered, and even the emperor has to treat them with courtesy!"
"That's right! Now Zheng Xian is willing to enter Qin, which is a blessing from heaven. How can the king force the immortal to bow down and be a vassal!"
"The king is really stupid! Even if you really want to treat the immortal with the title of a lord, you should give him food and fiefdom, not the name of a vassal!"
It's no wonder that the ministers and generals were so excited.
The title of a lord granted by Ying Zheng is a good thing for most people in the world, but it is a humiliation for immortals!
Because the lord must be a vassal of the king!
This move by Ying Zheng is tantamount to asking the free and unfettered immortals who should be treated with courtesy by the emperor to bow down to Ying Zheng!
What's even more outrageous is that you listen to the title proposed by Ying Zheng, 椤菶!
There is no county or town named 椄菶in the world today. Ying Zheng gave Zheng Anqi this title, which clearly meant that he wanted to make Zheng Anqi a lord and make him bow down, but he didn't intend to give Zheng Anqi a fief.
How stingy! How arrogant! How rebellious!
This move by Ying Zheng is not only humiliating Zheng Xian, but also humiliating and provoking all immortals.
What if the immortals punish the Great Qin? What should the Great Qin do!
Even Lü Buwei was quite anxious and said solemnly: "What do you think, Lord Chang'an?!"
Ying Zheng decided the treatment of Zheng Anqi and others without discussing it with the ministers. Lü Buwei knew that Ying Zheng had already made up his mind, and the ministers could not persuade Ying Zheng.
Now the only person who can make Ying Zheng withdraw the order and make Zheng Anqi and other immortals relieve their anger is Ying Chengjiao!
Ying Chengjiao said thoughtfully: "Although the title of 椄菶 does not correspond to the place name, the title of my great Qin prince does not all correspond to the place name. This move does not exceed the rules."
"The word 椄 means grafting, which is intended to show Zheng Anqi's skills."
"The word 菶 means lush vegetation, which shows the king's expectations for Zheng Anqi."
"This title of 椤菶 is really suitable!"
What makes Ying Chengjiao feel quite coincidental is that the pronunciation of 椄菶 is quite similar to the pronunciation of eating in Minyue (jia) (beng).
Lord 椤菶, Lord of Eating?
If nothing unexpected happens, Lord 椄菶 can indeed make people in the world eat a few more bowls of rice.
The title of Lord 椤菶 is well deserved!
There was a little more anxiety in Lu Buwei's voice: "I am not asking Lord Chang'an to comment on the title set by the king!"
"Zheng Xian is an immortal after all, how can the king make Zheng Xian bow down to him!"
Ying Chengjiao asked in confusion: "Why not?"
"I am also a lord under the king's rule, why can't the immortals such as Zheng Anqi be lords for my Great Qin?"
"Does the prime minister mean... Is the title given to Zheng Anqi by the king too heavy!"
This question confused all the surrounding ministers.
It seems that it is right!
Although the immortals such as Zheng Anqi are high above, they are just boys under Lord Chang'an now.
Chang'an Jun is just a feudal lord under the king's rule. Could it be that the status of Zheng Anqi and other boys can be higher than Chang'an Jun?
Zheng Anqi laughed loudly and said, "What Chang'an Jun said is what I think."
"As a boy under Chang'an Jun, I am lucky to be a feudal lord of the Qin Dynasty like Chang'an Jun!"
"I am only grateful in my heart, how can I hate it!"
Zheng Anqi bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I, Zheng Anqi, thank you for your kindness!"
Ying Zheng returned the greeting and said sincerely: "I also thank Zheng Xian for his willingness to help my Qin Dynasty!"
Zheng Anqi's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at Ying Chengjiao first, then glanced at Ying Zheng, and finally smiled softly and sat down.
Ying Zheng watched Zheng Anqi return to his seat, and then spoke again: "May Lord Lechen come forward!"
One by one, the immortals came forward to accept Ying Zheng's reward.
Although Ying Chengjiao ranked the twelve immortals according to the practicality of their magic, Ying Zheng treated them all equally and conferred the title of Lord on all of them!
And none of the twelve immortals refused, and none of them said anything rude, but all of them accepted Ying Zheng's reward willingly and contentedly!
Seeing this scene with their own eyes, the eyes of the ministers and generals were almost sluggish, and the shock in their eyes almost burst out.
Many historians' brushes were suspended in the air, and the ink wet the bamboo slips, silk, and Chang'an paper, but they were indifferent.
What did they see?
Your Majesty, are you conferring immortals? !
Is the silk in your hand really? That is clearly the immortal list!
Until all twelve immortals accepted the reward, the ministers and generals were still immersed in shock and couldn't extricate themselves, and even turned their heads to look at the high platform at the same time.
There, a figure sat on the twelve immortals, looking at Ying Zheng helplessly.
As expected, Ying Zheng's eyes turned to Ying Chengjiao like the ministers and generals, and said with a smile: "Pass it on!"
"The Great Qin Chang'an Lord, Prince Chengjiao, come forward!"
