Chapter 195 Reward for Zhao Feng! Ying Zheng's Dominance!

Hearing Ying Zheng's reward for Huan Yi.

In addition to some gold, silver, money, and beautiful women, the title was promoted by one level.

This was not surprising at all.

After all, Huan Yi led the Hangu Camp in this battle and made great contributions.

If he did not reward him, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"The king is wise."

The whole court said in unison.

And Ying Zheng did not stop talking, with a bit of contemplation, and then said: "As for Zhao Feng."

The whole court, all the civil and military officials, all focused their attention on Ying Zheng.

"Zhao Feng, you have made the first contribution to destroying Wei."

"You deserve a big reward."

"Flooding Daliang prevented the loss of our Qin warriors and preserved the strength of our Qin. This is an even greater achievement."

"Propagate my imperial edict."

"Zhao Feng has made contributions to the country. He is granted the second-level promotion of the title, the title of [Si Che Shu Chang], the annual salary of the title, and the establishment of personal guards of the title."

"Give him 10,000 gold, 100,000 coins, 1,000 pieces of jade, 1,000 slaves, and the title of Wang Yan [Madam] as Zhao Feng's legal wife. In addition to the annual salary of the title, he is also granted 10,000 acres of unowned good land."

Under the gaze of the ministers, Ying Zheng slowly spoke.

The voice fell.

The whole court was shocked.

For Zhao Feng's promotion to another title, everyone thought of such a reward.

But they did not expect Ying Zheng to promote Zhao Feng by two levels at once.

No one had ever thought of it.

"Your Majesty."

"Absolutely not."

"When General Zhao Feng annihilated the Wei army in Yanggao City, Your Majesty had already granted General Zhao Feng a promotion by one level."

"Now promoting him by two levels seems a bit too generous."

"You should know that the highest-ranking general in our Great Qin, General Wang Jian, is only at the sixteenth level."

"Although Zhao Feng has made military achievements, he is too young and has little experience."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Wang Wan immediately stood up and said loudly.

"I second the motion."

"Our Great Qin has promoted General Zhao Feng by twenty levels. Now General Zhao Feng is already the most powerful minister. If he is given this heavy title now, what will happen if he has no more titles to be given in the future?"

"Please be cautious, Your Majesty." Wei Zhuang immediately stood up and said.

And there was a strong warning in his tone.

One title has no more titles to be given.

These four words.

Many ministers have died because of these four words in ancient and modern times.

The former Wu'an Jun Bai Qi was no different.

He was promoted to the rank of Guowei, with a rank of more than 20 levels, and was conferred the title of Jun by virtue of his military power.

For him.

It was already the point where there was no more title to be conferred.

And later.

Qin Zhaoxiang Wang Yingji issued an edict to let Bai Qi lead the army to destroy Zhao. Because it was impossible to destroy Zhao, Bai Qi refused and was then sentenced to death.

Wei Zhuang's seemingly unintentional words were actually murderous.

If an ordinary emperor heard this, he would definitely be alert and fearful.

Moreover.

Wei Zhuang not only said that there was no more title to be conferred, but also Wang Wan's previous sentence that Wang Jian was only a rank of 16.

But the real meaning was to put the relationship between Wang Jian and Zhao Feng on the surface.

Wang Jian was originally a general with military power, and so was Zhao Feng, his son-in-law.

The two old foxes just said that the combined military power of these two people could affect his position as the King of Qin.

In this court.

Many ministers could hear it clearly and understand it.

But no one dared to speak at this moment.

"Wang Jian and Zhao Feng hold a total of 600,000 or 700,000 troops. Such a great threat must be avoided."

"Your Majesty must also treat it with caution."

"With military power in hand, you must be on guard."

"Under such a great cause, Your Majesty will even feel wary of Zhao Feng." Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang sneered in their hearts.

The words have been said so clearly.

It seems that this is a situation that must be faced, and no matter how you think about it, you can imagine that this is a situation that Wang Jian and Zhao Feng are bound to lose.

No emperor can tolerate it!

"According to what the two adults said."

"In my Great Qin Army, we cannot judge by military merit, but by seniority, and by age?" Wang Jian stood up and said with a bit of coldness.

Without waiting for Wang Wan and the others to reply.

Wang Jian looked at Ying Zheng who was in a high position again: "Your Majesty, from the mouths of these two prime ministers, it seems that they think that Zhao Feng and I are father-in-law and son-in-law, so they are becoming powerful because of this and rebelling against Your Majesty."

"If this causes suspicion in the court, they will think that Zhao Feng and I have too much military power."

"I am willing to resign from the post of the commander of the Lantian camp and retire to my hometown."

Wang Jian came up with a big wave directly.

Retire to my hometown.

As soon as these words fell.

The ministers in the court looked at each other in surprise.

Now Wang Jian is in his prime, how can he be old?

But looking at the meaning of Wang Jian's words, it is obvious that he is serious.

Although Wang Wan and others' words are full of needles.

But what they said is indeed true.

For any emperor, military power is extremely important. Even the strongest emperor will be on guard against his ministers, will suppress them, and will place spies around them.

Although civil officials have power, they are not powerful enough to abuse power because they have no soldiers.

However, military officials hold military power, especially generals who hold hundreds of thousands of soldiers. This has a huge impact and must be prevented.

You can know a person's face but not his heart.

Even the emperor is the same. He gives power to his ministers, but if the ministers have the intention to rebel, it is not certain.

Wang Jian is the commander of the Lantian camp, and Zhao Feng is the commander of the Wuan camp. They hold more than 600,000 soldiers. If the father-in-law and son-in-law conspire to rebel, who in the Qin Dynasty can stop them?

This situation seems to be unbearable for any emperor.

Back then.

It might have been a great favor for Ying Zheng to allow his daughter Wang to marry Zhao Feng. After all, Zhao Feng at that time had not reached such a level and power.

Now it seems a little different to talk about the past.

"Wang Jian, don't talk nonsense."

Meng Wu stood up and said to Wang Jian.

And there was a bit of admonition in his eyes, indicating Wang Jian to stop talking.

Although the two were fighting each other constantly, they were all fighting for a further step.

But when he heard Wang Jian say that he wanted to retire and return home, Meng Wu naturally couldn't stand it.

"I didn't talk nonsense."

"Since the two prime ministers have said that Zhao Feng and I are father-in-law and son-in-law, and I hold most of the military power of the Qin Dynasty, then I will retire and return home today to avoid making others unhappy." Wang Jian said with a cold face.

And Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang did not say anything about this.

It seems that they are also happy to see this scene.

After all.

The combined power of Zhao Feng and Wang Jian is too great.

Although today's actions seem to offend the two, thinking of Zhao Feng's original attitude towards them, it seems that they have already offended them.

If Wang Jian can give up his military power, it seems to be a good thing.

At this moment.

Fusu did not speak.

Hu Hai did not speak.

Obviously.

In their opinion, the combination of Wang Jian and Zhao Feng's two families is too powerful.

They all yearn for the position of the crown prince, and naturally think about the future. Such a powerful minister is indeed not a good thing.

But no one noticed.

When hearing that Wang Jian was going to retire for Zhao Feng, a touch of relief appeared in Ying Zheng's eyes.

"Feng'er."

"You found a good father-in-law."

"In this way, I will be more assured about him."

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian with great relief,

This time.

It also let Ying Zheng see Wang Jian's friendship with Zhao Feng.

He was willing to give up such a high position as the general for Zhao Feng.

As a father, Ying Zheng also felt that Zhao Feng really chose the right person.

At this time!

Ying Zheng spoke: "Okay."

All the ministers' eyes were focused on the high position.

At this moment.

Wang Jian had asked for his retirement and returned home, and the final decision was obviously in Ying Zheng's hands.

In the eyes of many ministers.

Now Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang have put Wang Jian and Zhao Feng, the two father-in-law and son-in-law, on the fire. For any emperor, it is impossible to accept that the two father-in-law and son-in-law hold 600,000 troops, almost half of the troops of the Qin Dynasty.

For the majesty of being a king, power!

All have a great impact.

So.

Ying Zheng is very likely to agree to Wang Jian's resignation, and at the very least, he will let Wang Jian idle.

"You are now in your prime, how can you say you want to retire and return home?"

"I will pretend I have never heard this." Ying Zheng said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking.

All the civil and military officials in the court looked at Ying Zheng in shock.

Ying Zheng actually refused such a great opportunity to give up his military power.

Even Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang, who were like old foxes, were surprised at this moment.

"What's wrong with the king?"

"We have handed the king a legitimate way to reduce his power, but he didn't accept it?"

"Could it be that the king really doesn't worry about Wang Jian and Zhao Feng at all?"

"Even if the king doesn't worry, he has to think about the future."

"The king is a man of great talent and strategy who can conquer everything, but in the future, not everyone will be the king."

Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang were in a very complicated mood at this moment.

They couldn't figure out why Ying Zheng would give up this opportunity.

Although Zhao Feng was not Wang Jian's son, he was also half a son.

It can also be said that they are a family with two generals.

Is this not enough to make Ying Zheng afraid?

"Your Majesty."

"What you are worried about is not unreasonable."

"My Wang family and Zhao Feng have received too much grace from the king." Wang Jian bowed to Ying Zheng and said.

"This grace from the king."

"Your Wang family can bear it."

"Zhao Feng can bear it as well."

"As the saying goes, if you have too much power, you may suffer from military disasters."

"I don't care."

"Because, since I can grant you this military power, I believe in your loyalty."

"Same."

"If one day it is really as you are worried about, I will naturally be able to calm it down." Ying Zheng's voice was full of endless domineering.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Wei Liao stood up and echoed loudly.

Looking at Wei Liao who stood up.

It has come to the current situation.

The ministers could only bow and shout: "Your Majesty is wise."

"My Lord."

"There is no need to mention the so-called retirement and return home in the future."

"I am not the kind of suspicious king."

"Not only you, as long as all the civil and military officials in the court are loyal to me and the Qin Dynasty, I will never treat them badly." Ying Zheng looked down at the court and said in a majestic voice.

This sentence was not only said to Wang Jian.

It was also said to all the civil and military officials in the court.

Of course!

Ying Zheng's words were not just empty talk, but contained the infinite domineering power of the emperor, and tolerance is greatness.

And in history.

Ying Zheng did it.

After unifying the world, he never killed any meritorious officials.

He never used the so-called emperor's suspicion.

He had the emperor's confidence that looked down on everything and was confident that he could conquer everything.

That's exactly what it is.

When he was alive, he dominated the world.

Overwhelm everything.

But after he died of illness, the world was in chaos and Qin II died.

Listening to Ying Zheng's confident words.

Wang Wan and the others didn't say anything anymore.

Obviously.

Their sudden calculation was wrong.

This move.

Not only did they fail to achieve results, they even offended Wang Jian and Zhao Feng to death.

"Wei Qing."

"Did you hear Zhao Feng's reward clearly?"

Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao.

"I heard you clearly," Wei Liao said immediately.

"I will reward you according to this edict." Ying Zheng said again.

These words are already the final word.

No more changes.

Just now, Wang Wan and the others used the relationship between the Wang family and Zhao Feng to arouse Ying Zheng's fear, and now they have no reason to object.

The so-called qualifications are a joke.

And Zhao Feng had indeed accomplished the feat of destroying the country, and they did not use the merit as an excuse to stop him.

"I accept the edict." Wei Liao responded immediately.

"Your Majesty."

"One more thing."

"Although flooding the beam is a unique feat."

"Destroyed the Wei army with the overturning power of the Hongze, and made our Qin army bloodless."

"But there will be a great epidemic after Hongze."

"If handled carelessly, the epidemic may spread. Once the epidemic spreads, it will be cholera in the Qin Dynasty."

"So, this matter still needs to be decided by the king himself." Feng Quji stood up and said.

"Doctor Xia, you are the best doctor in the world."

"What are your thoughts on this epidemic?" Ying Zheng looked at Xia Wuji.

"Return to the king."

"The source of the great epidemic lies in corpses. As long as the corpses in Daliang City are cleaned up, buried in loess, and burned with fire, the great epidemic may be avoided."

"After Daliang City was overturned by floods, it was no longer possible to live in it."

"The old minister proposed that Daliang City be abandoned and sealed off from now on. All the corpses in the city should be buried in Daliang City and Daliang be sealed off. This can greatly prevent the occurrence of the epidemic." Xia Wuji said immediately.

"My lords, have you heard this?"

"A major epidemic is not bound to happen. As long as proper prevention is taken, it can be controlled." Ying Zheng said immediately.

"Your Majesty."

"This matter may require Dr. Xia's personal guidance." Wang Wan said.

"I would like to lead the doctors of the Great Medical Palace to the Kingdom of Wei in person." Xia Wuji immediately asked for orders without any hesitation.

"Can Dr. Xia's body bear such a long journey?"

The first thing Ying Zheng thought of was Xia Wuji's body.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Old minister, I am very strong. I am still waiting for the day when the Qin Dynasty will be unified." Xia Wuji replied with a smile.

This remark is naturally a pun.

Now my daughter has been found.

But Xia Wuqie also wanted to see the day when his daughter would marry Ying Zheng in all her glory.

For this day.

Xia Wuqi will see it no matter what.

Hear this.

Ying Zheng smiled: "That's good."

"Ren Xiao."

Ying Zheng shouted loudly.

"I'm here."

Ren Xiao outside the main hall responded immediately.

"Call 5,000 Imperial Guards, and you will personally lead and protect Doctor Xia and the doctors from the Palace of Medicine as they go to Wei."

"The Kingdom of Wei is not yet fully under control, so you must protect him." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"I accept the edict." Ren Xiao immediately accepted the edict.

"Doctor Xia."

"After you go to Wei, remember not to stay away from the imperial guards, let alone the military camp."

"You directly tell Zhao Feng how to prevent and control the epidemic and how to respond. You only need to give orders and do not need to do it yourself." Ying Zheng looked at Xia Wuji and warned.

"Old minister understands."

Xia Wuqie naturally nodded in agreement to Ying Zheng's concern.

Finished explaining.

Ying Zheng was still a little worried, so he first said to the court officials: "Okay."

"Today is not a court meeting. Is there anything else you would like to mention?"

"If not, let's disperse."

Hear the sound.

All the ministers bowed to Ying Zheng one after another: "I have no basis to start this memorial."

"kindness."

"Then let's disperse."

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

He stood up slowly, but his eyes fell on Xia Wuji and Wang Jian.

"Doctor Xia."

"Wang Qing."

"Enter Zhangtai Palace for a brief introduction."

Finished.

Ying Zheng turned around and walked towards the back hall.

"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty."

The ministers bowed again.

Wait until Ying Zheng's figure completely left the hall.

The ministers slowly dispersed.

Wang Jian slowly walked up to Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang and glanced at them: "Humph."

After snorting coldly.

There was no concealment of the coldness in Wang Jian's eyes.

Although nothing was said, the meaning was already clear.

I felt Wang Jian's coldness.

Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang did not dare to say anything.

They understand.

From now on, Wang Jian may stand on their opposite side.

"Two prime ministers."

"What should be said and what should not be said."

"It seems that although you are old, you still haven't seen it through."

Li Si walked over slowly. He watched the court meeting from beginning to end, but said nothing.

But at this moment.

But he couldn't help but sneered.

"Liu Ting seems very proud."

“But don’t get too carried away.”

Wang Wan replied coldly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang."

"I will never be too proud no matter what."

Li Si said loudly, then slowly moved closer and whispered: "It's just that this time you have completely offended the Wang family and the Zhao family."

"It will be even more difficult for you to support the eldest son in the future."

"The king values ​​General Zhao Feng very much, and his opinion is also very important."

"I hope you can still laugh like this in the future."

After saying that.

Li Si strode away without looking back. Looking at his heroic steps, you can imagine how happy he is at this moment.

Looking at Li Si's back.

Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang both had cold eyes. When their eyes met, they obviously planned to gather together to plan something.

And many ministers were watching the show with a bit of a mentality. This time, the situation seemed to have completely changed.

"The Wang family and the two prime ministers have fallen out."

"Prime Minister Wang and his people support the eldest son, but now they have created two powerful enemies for the eldest son."

"In this case."

"The future candidate for the crown prince is really unpredictable."

"Fortunately, I did not participate in the dispute between the princes, otherwise, if I were involved, the whole family would be in trouble."

...

Because of Wang Wan's move, some changes also occurred in the hearts of the ministers in the court.

When Hu Hai walked down the stairs.

When he came to Fusu's side.

"Brother."

"Your two supporters have created two powerful enemies for you."

"In the future."

"You really have to be careful." Hu Hai sneered and reminded.

Then he strode away.

Fusu's face was calm, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

...
