Chapter 152 The First Emperor Welcomes Him Personally!

"Why are you all out?"

"What happened today? Such a big scene?"

"You followed them out without knowing what happened?"

"I saw people walking out of the city, so I followed them curiously to see what happened. But I haven't seen anything happen in such a long time."

"You really like to watch the fun."

"Today is not a big day. I heard that General Zhao, who has made many military achievements for my Qin, is coming to Xianyang to report on his work. General Zhao Feng is a legendary figure in my Qin. He started from the logistics army and made countless military achievements. Now he has become the youngest commander in my Qin. How can I not see such a person with my own eyes?"

"So that's how it is. I understand."

"General Zhao Feng, the commander at the age of only 19, is truly a legend in my Qin. Even the former Wu An Jun Baiqi is even a little inferior to General Zhao Feng. "

"And this time I heard that General Zhao Feng may be able to make further progress after returning to the court."

"Really?"

"General Zhao Feng is now the chief general, and his official position is only below the three generals of my Great Qin. If he makes further progress, wouldn't he become a general? This is impossible, right?"

"Why is it impossible?"

"How great is the military achievement of General Zhao this time? Almost all the key battles to destroy Zhao were conquered by General Zhao Feng, and even the fleeing King Zhao was captured by General Zhao. With such great achievements, it is not an exaggeration to be named a general."

"Of course."

"What I heard was the rumor passed down from the court. Whether he can make further progress depends on the will of the current king."

...

The people inside and outside the city started to talk to each other.

Gathering here for so long.

Some of them didn't even know what happened. They just saw the crowds gathering and couldn't help but participate in it. It can be summarized in three simple words, that is, watching the excitement.

This is also a habit of the Chinese people for thousands of years.

At this time!

There were loud shouts coming from the city.

"Greetings to the King."

...

There were countless shouts.

The people in the city even bowed and saluted directly.

The people outside the city looked inside the city.

I saw a nine-horse carriage slowly driving out of the city, and behind it were the court officials of the Qin Dynasty.

Seeing this scene.

Everyone might have been shocked.

"The king actually came out to greet him personally?"

"No way?"

"The king came here in a royal carriage, accompanied by hundreds of officials, to greet General Zhao Feng?"

"What a special honor is this?"

"Looking back at the history of our Great Qin, General Ying Hua personally greeted him during the reign of King Huiwen."

"King Zhaoxiang personally greeted Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an."

"Now the king personally greets General Zhao Feng, this is really an incomparable honor."

"Perhaps, General Zhao Feng can really go one step further."

"Will he become the youngest general of our Great Qin after this?"

...

Watching the royal carriage coming, countless onlookers saluted, and their hearts were shocked and guessed.

The royal carriage arrived, and the king went out.

This is known to everyone.

And there were hundreds of officials accompanying the royal carriage, and the meaning was even clearer.

"The king is too respectful of Zhao Feng, and he actually went out of the city to greet him personally?" Wei Zhuang said with a depressed look on his face.

"So that's why."

"Teacher Chunyu made a bad move back then." Wang Wan sighed.

As Zhao Feng gained more and more power, Wang Wan felt more and more helpless about Chunyu Yue's stupid actions against Zhao Feng.

It was because of this move.

Perhaps Zhao Feng's possibility of being wooed by them was cut off.

Others still had a chance.

"Prime Minister Wang."

"There is another thing. The Bai family wants to impeach Zhao Feng." Wei Zhuang suddenly lowered his voice and said.

"Why?" Wang Wan was stunned, and a trace of surprise appeared on his old face.

"When Zhao Feng returned to Xianyang, he dealt with a branch of the Bai family in a county town in Hangu County, and he was ruthless." Wei Zhuang said.

"Did he deal with it privately?"

"Is there a reason?" Wang Wan immediately asked.

"According to the Bai family, Zhao Feng used private punishment himself and beheaded the county magistrate of that county town." Wei Zhuang said.

Hearing this!

Wang Wan smiled immediately: "It seems that these military officials really have a personality, just like Bai Qi back then, who was domineering in a high position, and Zhao Feng is no exception."

"We are the eldest son's people, and we all know it on the surface, but the Bai family has no relationship with the eldest son on the surface."

"Perhaps we can take this opportunity to suppress Zhao Feng. After all, this matter has nothing to do with us, and we can just watch."

"So."

"Perhaps we can ask the king to withdraw the reward for Zhao Feng's promotion to the general. It is still beneficial for us to suppress him." Wang Wan smiled lightly.

"Prime Minister Wang, you have a good idea."

"Then we will not interfere in this matter." Wei Zhuang also smiled in agreement.

On the other side.

Wang Jian, who stood at the top of the military officials, couldn't stop smiling.

"Can't you help but be proud now?"

"Can you restrain yourself?"

Meng Wu stood behind Wang Jian and couldn't help but speak up.

Hearing this.

Wang Jian turned his head and smiled proudly: "You old man, just be envious. My son-in-law has returned to the court and will be awarded the title of general. Do you have such an outstanding son-in-law?"

"No, that's not right. It seems that you don't even have a daughter."

"Hahaha, just be envious."

Looking at Wang Jian's smug look, Meng Wu was so angry, but he had nothing to refute.

"Meng Wu, if you have nothing to do, don't provoke him. He is so proud now."

Huan Yi said with a smile.

The three generals of the Qin Dynasty seemed to be in harmony.

"Old man Huan, just because of what you said, next time the Qin Dynasty sends troops to war, I will not compete with you." Wang Jian said with a smile.

Huan Yi smiled and said, "I won't let you compete with me."

"Your Lantian camp has destroyed two countries in a row, and this time you have also made contributions to the destruction of Zhao's northern border. I can only watch."

"Next time, my army will definitely attack first."

These words.

It seems to be a joke, but in fact, you can hear the firmness in Huan Yi's tone.

"Don't worry."

"I won't compete with you." Wang Jian smiled and didn't care.

The court seems to be at the center of the Qin Dynasty, the center of power.

But the competition is more intense than on the battlefield.

They seem to have a good relationship, but they can still turn against each other at any time for the sake of interests.

Looking at Wang Jian, Meng Wu and the other three who seem to be so close, their friendship is not too deep.

One is that the king is afraid.

The most worried thing is that the generals with military power form a party.

The second is also a struggle for interests.

Now there are three guards in Daqin, but the position of national lieutenant is still vacant, and no one has been conferred the title of king.

This is naturally what the three of them are pursuing, and for this goal, they will naturally fight to the end.

The reason why Wang Jian did not fight this time is because they have fought for the merits of conquering two countries and destroying two countries in succession, and now he is ahead.

"After this."

"You should drink your son's wedding wine?" Meng Wu suddenly said.

"The date should be soon."

"When the time comes, you two must come to my house to drink happily." Wang Jian laughed.

"Your son is marrying a princess, so there is no need to say much about the pomp, but the wine must be the best, such as the one in Jiuxianlou." Huan Yi said.

"You also know Jiuxianlou?" Wang Jian was slightly surprised.

"Although Jiuxianlou is located in Yingchuan, many merchants are also selling Jiuxianlou's fine wine. How can we not drink it?"

"After drinking Jiuxianlou's fine wine, I really can't drink anything else, even the imperial wine of the palace can't compare to it." Meng Wu said with emotion.

Let these generals be like this, you can imagine what kind of influence Zhao Feng's Jiuxianlou has brought.

"I have good news for you."

"Jiuxianlou will be opened in Xianyang City in a few days." Wang Jian said with a smile.

"How do you know?" Meng Wu and Huan Yi were both shocked and very surprised, but their eyes were shining.

"The steward in my mansion often buys wine for me, so he naturally knows some merchants who sell it, so he got the news." Wang Jian said with a smile.

The imperial carriage moved forward.

All officials followed.

The journey was not as solemn as imagined, and the officials were talking to each other in a familiar manner.

Soon.

When they arrived at the city gate.

The imperial carriage stopped.

All the officials also stopped and stood behind the imperial carriage.

This time the king came to greet him in person, so there was no reason for the officials not to come.

Perhaps.

This grand occasion also needs witnesses.

"Your Majesty."

"Maybe it's too early."

"An hour ago, the guards reported that General Zhao was still some distance away from Xianyang. Now I'm afraid he will have to wait here." Ren Xiong said respectfully.

"Welcome the meritorious minister of my Great Qin."

"I can wait." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.

"I understand." Ren Xiong said no more immediately, but there was also a kind of envy in his eyes.

It is a great honor for every minister to be worthy of such a favor from the king.

What's more, this is not a simple favor.

The Qin king's imperial carriage went out of the city to greet him, and all the officials greeted him. What an honor!

Time passed gradually.

Very quickly.

An incense stick of time passed.

Far away.

Xianyang City was only a thousand meters away.

"My Lord."

"Why are there so many people outside the city?"

Zhang Ming looked at the city in surprise.

"Are they welcoming my Lord?" The centurion of the guard beside him laughed.

"The capital welcomes my Lord? No way?"

"And I see there are so many people. Are they all spontaneously welcoming my Lord?"

"Has my Lord's reputation spread to Xianyang?" Zhang Ming said with admiration.

Zhao Feng looked at the city. With his attributes that surpassed ordinary people by hundreds of times, as long as there was an open space, Zhao Feng could see several miles away.

"The imperial carriage stopped under the city."

"Could it be that the King of Qin personally welcomed him at the city gate?" Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.

"Speed ​​up."

"The king is waiting at the city gate, don't be rude." Zhao Feng reminded, and then rushed towards Xianyang City.

The guards heard this.

After looking at each other, all of them showed surprise on their faces: "The king personally welcomes us at the city gate, what a great honor!"

Reading this.

Each of the guards was excited and followed Zhao Feng to Xianyang City.

This is the honor of their master, and even more so their honor.

Soon.

Zhao Feng led his guards to approach Xianyang City quickly.

When they entered Xianyang City for only twenty feet, Zhao Feng immediately turned over and dismounted, and the guards behind him did the same.

"Your Majesty, General Zhao is back." Ren Xiong said respectfully.

Then Ren Xiao opened the curtain of Luan Jia.

Ying Zheng, dressed in royal robes, slowly stepped off the carriage.

Looking at Zhao Feng walking in front, Ying Zheng also had a smile on his face.

"As expected, the King of Qin personally welcomed him and brought all the officials with him. This is too embarrassing."

Looking at Ying Zheng waiting in front of Luan Jia, he then looked at the officials waiting behind Luan Jia.

Even Zhao Feng felt moved at this moment.

No wonder it is said that the emperor lowered his rank to welcome him, and his ministers will die without retribution.

The king led all his officials out of the city to greet him. This honor was greater than the emperor's demotion.

Read this.

Zhao Feng calmed down, walked forward quickly, bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "I see you, Your Majesty."

"General Zhao Feng is indeed as young as the rumors say."

"Oh, there is no comparison between real people. My son is also twenty years old. He was discharged from the army after two years of service. Now he is in business, so there is really no comparison."

"It takes decades for a great man like General Zhao Feng to emerge. Otherwise, how could he be called a great man?"

"yes."

"A well-deserved hero."

…

Seeing that Zhao Feng was really as young as the rumors made the people's comments even more intense, but they were all full of admiration.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly, stepped forward slowly, and directly helped Zhao Feng up: "General Zhao is finally back."

"It is my fault to keep the king waiting for a long time." Zhao Feng said immediately.

"General Zhao returned from the army, what crime did he commit?"

"Let's go and follow Gu into the palace." Ying Zheng laughed.

"Luan Jia is where the king is. I dare not be rude. I will walk with Luan Jia." Zhao Feng said immediately.

It was high-profile enough for Ying Zheng to go out of the city to greet him in person, but it would be too high-profile if he was still sitting in the Luan Jia. Zhao Feng still knew how to measure.

Now that we are still attached to Qin, we still need to have the proper sense of proportion.

Seeing Zhao Feng like this.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and did not force it: "I will be with you alone."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Feng no longer refused.

"The king has risen and all the officials have returned to the palace."

Ren Xiao shouted loudly.

immediately.

Ren Xiao looked at Zhang Ming again: "General Zhao's personal guards went to the post house to settle down."

"No." Zhang Ming responded immediately.

immediately.

Ying Zheng held Zhao Feng's hand and walked towards Xianyang City.

"This is Zhao Qing's first time coming to Xianyang." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.

"I grew up in Shaqiu County since I was a child. This is indeed my first time coming to the capital." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.

Ying Zheng smiled and raised his hand to point at the city: "How grand is the capital of the King of Qin?"

"I have been to two royal capitals, one is Xinzheng and the other is Handan."

"The capitals of these two countries are far less magnificent than Xianyang." Zhao Feng replied immediately.

Ying Zheng asked this.

Zhao Feng naturally wanted to cooperate.

Although Zhao Feng has seen more magnificent modern cities with countless high-rise buildings, these ancient palaces and houses are naturally far inferior to them.

"After the world is unified, Xianyang will become more prosperous and magnificent." Ying Zheng laughed.

Surrounded by hundreds of officials.

Slowly walked towards the palace.

"Your son-in-law is really worthy of the king's favor."

"As long as your son-in-law doesn't act recklessly, he may have a chance to reach Lord Wu An's original position in the future."

Seeing Ying Zheng holding Zhao Feng's hand so happily, Meng Wu saw the king so happy for the first time.

"Why do I feel that the king and Zhao Feng have a close feeling? They are very similar. They are about the same height and have similar body shapes. If this is not explained clearly, some people may think they are father and son."

Huan Yi looked at the figures of Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng walking in front of him, and couldn't help but think to himself, it was quite strange.

"How has such grace ever happened before?" Wang Wan turned to Wei Zhuang and asked.

"Indeed it has never happened."

"In the past, I only saw it in King Zhaoxiang's treatment of Lord Wu'an."

"only."

"The times have changed now, and it is not the time of King Zhaoxiang." Wei Zhuang said with emotion.

"Zhao Feng is still too young after all. After all, the higher you stand, the harder it will be if you fall. This time we can just watch the show." Wang Wan sneered.

In a blink of an eye.

Qin Palace, inside the Chaoyi Hall!

Hundreds of officials have already divided up to fight.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne, and Zhao Feng stood in the main hall.

"This is the famous Zhao Feng."

"We must win over him for Young Master Hu Hai, so that we can get help to fight against Fusu."

Zhao Gao, who was serving Ying Zheng, glanced out of the corner of his eye and thought in his heart.

"Zhao Gao, the treacherous minister in history, really looked sinister, but now that Qin Shihuang is still alive, he is like an ant, daring not to show any ambition."

"You can't even see the momentum of calling a deer a horse."

"Who in the civil and military dynasties could have imagined that in the next few decades, this eunuch would be able to stir up troubles and become one of the roots of the Qin Empire."

While Zhao Gao secretly looked at Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng naturally also looked at Zhao Gao.

In the midst of the dynasty.

There are really not a few celebrities recorded in history.

Wei Liao.

Lis.

Feng Quji.

Meng Wu, Huan Yi.

At a glance, there are really countless historical celebrities.

It also belongs to the brilliance of Qin in this era.

certainly.

Zhao Feng did not scan directly with his eyes, but spread his consciousness.

"Why is this guy looking at me so hatefully?"

"There are many others like this. Did I dig their ancestral graves?"

After the divine sense was expanded.

He found a person glaring at him with great hatred.

And jealousy.

All kinds of emotions were exposed under Zhao Feng's divine sense.

But Zhao Feng tentatively looked upward.

Boom!

An invisible force instantly spread out, shaking Zhao Feng's divine sense back.

Faintly.

Zhao Feng saw a black dragon circling above Ying Zheng's head, staring at Zhao Feng.

"Is this the power of destiny?"

Looking at the dragon shadow, Zhao Feng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what it was.

Zhao Feng still knew about this kind of existence in the myths of his previous life.

"Zhao Qing has returned from Zhao."

"I guess the task of reorganization has been completed."

On the high position, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng and smiled.

Facing any minister, Ying Zheng always maintained that kind of cold majesty, but when facing Zhao Feng, Ying Zheng had an invisible sense of closeness at first sight.

This feeling was hard for Ying Zheng to explain.

Therefore, his attitude towards Zhao Feng was particularly good.

"Your Majesty."

"This is the reorganized record."

Zhao Feng did not hesitate and took out a piece of cloth from his arms.

Zhao Gao was waiting.

"Zhao Qing, please read it directly."

"There are more than 400,000 Zhao troops. I also want to know how many elite soldiers have been selected." Ying Zheng said majestically.

"I receive the edict."

Zhao Feng opened the cloth and said loudly: "In the battle to destroy Zhao, our Great Qin accepted more than 410,000 Zhao soldiers. I led my elite soldiers to screen for a month and eliminated more than 160,000 people with poor physical fitness. The remaining 240,000 surrendered soldiers can be reorganized into the prisoner army."

"Zhao Qing is thoughtful." Ying Zheng nodded: "How do you plan to reorganize these surrendered soldiers?"

"I propose."

"First, replenish the soldiers lost in the Lantian camp with surrendered soldiers. If there are more, the king can make a wise decision." Zhao Feng replied.

"Yes."

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.

"We will discuss the matter of reorganizing the surrendered soldiers later."

"When I was in Handan, I promised you that I would give you a surprise as long as you destroyed Zhao and returned to Qin."

"Now it's time to fulfill it." Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand.

Just then!

A minister stood up.

"Your Majesty."

"I want to impeach Zhao Feng."

A middle-aged minister stood up angrily and raised his court hut.

"Yes?"

The smile on Ying Zheng's face stopped, and he looked at the minister coldly: "What did you say? Impeach Zhao Qing?"

"I want to impeach Zhao Feng for being stubborn and abusing private punishment." Bai Wu said loudly.

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

"When did Zhao Qing abuse private punishment?" Ying Zheng frowned.

It was really a bit disappointing for Bai Wu's impeachment at this moment.

"Lord Bai."

"General Zhao has never met you, and he has been handling military affairs in Zhao State. Impeachment for abuse of private punishment?"

"If you are wrong, it is an unwarranted accusation."

Wang Jian stood up and said to Bai Wu with a cold face.

"What I said is true."

"This is the impeachment report jointly signed by my Bai clan members in Linguan County."

"Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Bai Wu was indignant and took out a piece of cloth.

Zhao Gao, who was standing by, immediately stepped forward and took the cloth.

And in the court.

Some were shocked, some were gloating, and some were watching the show for Bai Wu's sudden impeachment of Zhao Feng.

"Whether the impeachment is successful or not, on the one hand, Zhao Feng can be suppressed, and on the other hand, I can also plead for Zhao Feng, which is a favor to Zhao Feng."

"This move kills two birds with one stone." Wang Wan was also smiling in his heart at this moment, recognizing his own wisdom.

Ying Zheng took the cloth in his hand with a gloomy face.

But at this time!

Zhao Feng spoke.

"Report to the king."

"If the person who impeached me is surnamed Bai, then I know what he is impeaching."

"And the king does not need to read his impeachment."

"Please give me the confession written by the county lieutenant of Linguan County."

Zhao Feng simply would not bear it and took out a bamboo slip from his arms.

It was the confession written by the county lieutenant of Linguan County.

There were things about the county magistrate and the corruption and oppression done by the Bai family.

Not only against the Wei family, but all the rest were written out.

Hearing Zhao Feng's words.

Ying Zheng immediately put down the impeachment report of Bai Wu in his hand and looked at Zhao Gao: "Present it."

"I will receive the edict." Zhao Gao immediately ran down quickly.

Quickly picked up the report in Zhao Feng's hand and presented it to Ying Zheng.

Seeing this scene.

Bai Wu panicked.

The originally confident Wang Wan was now feeling nervous.

…
