Chapter 153: Conferring Zhao the title of Captain of the Guard! Great joy! "Could it really happen for a reason? Isn't it like what the Bai family said?" Wang Wan couldn't help but think at this moment. The main reason was that Zhao Feng in the hall was extremely calm and did not panic at all in the face of Bai Wu's impeachment. He looked prepared. Wait until Zhao Gao presents the bamboo slips. Ying Zheng naturally took it and opened it immediately. When he saw the contents inside, Ying Zheng's face turned livid. "Asshole!" With a cold shout, Ying Zheng took the bamboo slips in his hand and threw them towards Bai Wu in the hall. It hit Bai Wu's body hard.
But Bai Wu didn't dare to move at all. "Look at what's written on this bamboo slip." Ying Zheng said coldly. "As expected, I came prepared." "Gu Zeng said it." "Your Majesty, calm down." Seeing Ying Zheng's angry look, Bai Wu was already panicking. "Start the memorial, Your Majesty." "As for you..." "I don't know about this at all." "Your Majesty, calm down." "Chen...chen..." Bai Wu bowed to worship, his expression became extremely frightened. "I'm here." Li Si stood up immediately. The words fell. "Your Majesty, calm down." "Tingwei." "You want to impeach Zhao Qing?" Ying Zheng stared at Bai Wu and said coldly. "The reason why I took action in Linguan County was not unintentional. When one of my generals was in his hometown, he was bullied by the Bai family in Linguan County. His sister was raped by the Bai family. When he reported to the official, he was protected by the Bai family. Later, it was even more... It’s been targeted repeatedly.” "You actually let a villain file a complaint first to impeach Qing Zhao?"
Bai Wu didn't dare to say anything and immediately picked up the bamboo slip. When he saw the content on it, Bai Wu's face turned pale. "If the entire Bai family in Linguan County committed adultery, I will punish him with castration according to the laws of Qin and put him in prison." "The matter of the annual salary was later reported frankly by the Linguan County captain." "Such an evil act, such a disregard for the law of the country." "Since they are looking for death, I will help them." "There are nearly a thousand elite soldiers and logistics troops in Linguan County. One thousand of them have received 10% of their annual salary. And one of the ten thousand generals under Zhao Qing's command has received all of their annual salary." "I accept the edict." Li Si immediately accepted the edict. Bai Wu said quickly. "Anyone who dares to get his hands on his salary and corrupt the lives of our Qin soldiers will never let him go." "I know I was wrong." Bai Wu replied with a trembling voice. Bai Wu trembled all over and turned pale: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't know, but I know I was wrong." "What kind of lynching is this?" Ying Zheng shouted coldly. "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong..." Ying Zheng's face turned livid: "Ever since Gu Qin came to power, the most taboo thing has been the corruption of annual salary. But I never thought that under Gu's urging, there would be people who would dare to embezzle the annual salary." "The impeachment report I received from Linguan County was to impeach General Zhao for abusing lynching. I had no idea they dared to commit such atrocities." "Corruption of annual salary will kill the entire clan." "Now I have beheaded the county magistrate, and his entire family has been imprisoned in Linguan County Prison." "Gu said at the beginning that once the corruption of Mo Mo's salary is discovered, there is no need to report it to Yu Gu and he will be dealt with directly." "All those suspected of corruption have been imprisoned and are waiting to be dealt with." Zhao Feng stood up and announced loudly. "This Zhao Feng is really difficult to deal with." Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang looked at each other, both having the same idea. Ying Zheng shouted with a cold face. "Let alone beheading a county magistrate and imprisoning the whole Tan Mo clan, it would not be an exaggeration to even destroy his clan." "Go and take care of it yourself and tell Gu Zhao that if anyone dares to embezzle Mo's annual salary, his clan will be exterminated." Ying Zheng said coldly. Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Bai Wu again: "Impeachment indiscriminately and false accusations against Zhongliang should be severely punished." "Today, I will seize the position of minister! I will be demoted to one rank and fined one year's salary." The words fell. Bai Wu's face turned pale. Zhao Feng looked at Bai Wu out of the corner of his eye and said, "You're still looking for trouble. Originally, the punishment wouldn't be that big, but you have to jump out in the court and make your own trouble."
"Master Bai, right?" "I remember that all the members of the Bai family were imprisoned by me. Who submitted the impeachment report to you?" "Is there a fish out there that has slipped through the net?" Zhao Feng turned his head and looked at Bai Wu with an aggressive tone. Such a character. Anger will be repaid. This is Zhao Feng. Revenge never comes overnight. Bai Wu looked at Zhao Feng with hatred deep in his eyes, but under Ying Zheng's gaze, he did not dare to show it at all. "It is true that a few people escaped. I will explain their hiding places to Ting Wei." Bai Wu said losing his strength. "In order to punish the corrupt criminals, Mr. Bai killed his relatives in a righteous and righteous way." Zhao Feng smiled and praised Bai Wu. "This Zhao Feng looks young, but he is so thoughtful and ruthless." "This boy should not be underestimated." "Although he has never been in court, he is definitely not the warrior who only knows how to command troops as rumored." "This boy is using Bai Wu's actions to frighten the court." … After Bai Wu's incident, and looking at Zhao Feng's handling methods, everyone in the court got to know Zhao Feng again. "This kid doesn't need revenge overnight." "Quite a character." When Ying Zheng saw Zhao Feng like this, he couldn't help but smile in his heart. How could he not see that Zhao Feng was deliberately disgusting Bai Wu. This kind of revenge is indeed true. "Linguan County." "Next to Hangu Pass." "Our Great Qin is a heavily guarded place, but there are still people in such a place who dare to covet Mo's annual salary." "I really can't imagine how corrupt there are in other cities in the Great Qin territory, and how many corrupt officials there are who are not afraid of death." "From today on, Tingwei and the Young Mansion will jointly supervise and send people to patrol, focusing on investigating and punishing corruption. Once discovered, their clan will be exterminated directly without reporting it, as a deterrent." "Disregarding the law, officials protect each other, and oppressing the people, all will be severely punished." "If a minister in the court has an affair, we will not tolerate it." Ying Zheng looked down at the court and shouted coldly.
The annual salary is a fundamental matter for millions of warriors, and it is also the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. Ying Zheng will never let those corrupt officials shake the country's foundation. This time he was really moved and angry. "I accept the edict." Wei Liao and Li Si immediately took the order. And at this moment. Many people in the court were already panicking. Since ancient times. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. No matter what kind of country it is, corrupt officials will always exist. Because human nature is like this, it is impossible for everyone to be a saint. This time the King of Qin was furious and ordered an investigation, which would inevitably reveal some corrupt officials who had violated the law and were greedy for their annual salary. "alright." "This matter will be settled for now." Ying Zheng waved his hand, not wanting to let this afternoon impeachment ruin the atmosphere. Then Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng with soft eyes. "Zhao Qing." "He has made many military exploits for the Qin Dynasty." "Destroy Wu'an, defeat Handan, kill Lian Po, kill Pang Nuan, and capture the King of Zhao." "Thank you very much." "Deserves a heavy reward." Ying Zheng said with authority. A wave of his hand. Wang Zhao picked up the edict that had been prepared on the table. Zhao Gao on the side immediately stepped forward to pick up the imperial edict and read loudly: "Edict of the King of Qin!" "Zhao Feng, the fourth main camp commander in Lantian, has made great contributions in destroying Zhao. He is a model for our Qin generals. He guarded Weicheng and defeated Wei Wuji to avoid the loss of our Qin territory! Attack the Zhao Kingdom, kill Lian Po, kill Pang Nuan, and capture the King of Zhao. , His military exploits are outstanding and his contribution is indispensable!” "Given the merits of our Great Qin army, we should be given heavy titles and rewards." "Today, Jin and Zhao have been granted the title of Captain of the Guard, called General, and given a title of promotion to the second level."
"I will give you a palace in Xianyang City, a hundred servants, a thousand gold, a hundred jade, a thousand pieces of fine cloth, a fine war horse, and a general's robe." "When you are promoted to general, you should announce it to the world." … Zhao Gao's voice resounded in the court. As this edict came down. It also announced that Da Qin once again had a general. He was also the youngest general in Da Qin and the youngest holder of the fourteenth-level title in Da Qin. "The structure of the Great Qin Court has changed." "The fourth general is in charge of a large battalion." "And he will have more potential than the other three generals." "In the future, this Zhao Feng may be able to reach the position of Bai Qi in the past!" Although the Jin Dynasty had already brought up the idea of conferring Zhao Feng the title of Captain of the Guards on that day, the conferment would only be granted upon Zhao Feng's return. But it really comes after this day. It was a bit shocking to hear with my own ears that Zhao Fengjin was promoted to general. Zhao Feng, who was not yet twenty years old in the Qin Dynasty, became the youngest general in the world! "My lord, thank you for your kindness." Zhao Feng did not hesitate too much, and with a sense of joy in his heart, he bowed to Ying Zheng who was in a high position. Although I had guessed a bit beforehand, now it has really fallen on me. Great Qin’s general! There is one like him! After joining the army for four years, he rose from a small soldier with meritorious service to become one of the few people with the greatest power in the Qin Dynasty, a well-deserved dignitary. The captain who protects the army is called the general. It has the authority to form a thousand personal guards, who are private soldiers. Look at the entire Great Qin. Only three generals, Wang Jian, had a thousand personal guards. Except them. Even if it is the prime minister who is the head of civil servants. Even the eldest son Fusu, who is now in charge of political affairs in the court, has never been owned by them. This is the authority given by the royal power to the general who is commanding the army to protect his safety.
In this era of emphasis on military force, a general who leads the army is more important than a civil servant, at least now that the Qin Dynasty has begun to unify. "Your Majesty." "Don't you congratulate Zhao Qing?" Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said. When the King of Qin opened his mouth, who would dare to disobey him? At this moment, whether it was a false sentiment or a pretense, all the civil and military officials in the court congratulated Zhao Feng: "Congratulations to General Zhao Feng." certainly. The most sincere one belongs to Wang Jian. "My son-in-law is a general like me." "Glorious lintel." "Yan'er really has a good eye." Wang Jian was extremely excited. "Thank you all, sir." Zhao Feng smiled and returned the greeting with his fists cupped. "General, please accept the edict." Zhao Gao walked to Zhao Feng and handed the Wang Zhao to Zhao Feng very humbly. Zhao Feng accepted Wang Zhao and nodded slightly. Although Zhao Feng had some resistance to this historical traitor, he was just a humble **** now. Zhao Feng didn't need to show any shame. As a close servant of King Qin, there is no one who knows King Qin best, so there is no need to offend him. "Wang Qing." Ying Zheng spoke again at this moment. "I'm here." Wang Jian stood up immediately. "When Wang Qing went to war, I made a promise to you." "On the day when I return from success, I will marry my daughter to Zhao Qing." "Now it's time to cash in." Ying Zheng said with a smile. A wave of his hand. Zhao Gao then received another royal edict. "Edict of the King of Qin." "Wang Yan, the wife of General Wang Jian, is a virtuous and virtuous woman. She is in love with Zhao Feng, the general of the Qin Dynasty, and they are in love with each other."
"Today, I give the daughter of the Wang family the title of Zhao Feng as my wife." "Choose a date to get married." Zhao Gao announced loudly. "On behalf of my little daughter, I would like to thank the king for your kindness." Wang Jian bowed with a smile on his face. today. Wang Jian can be said to be very proud of himself. The prospective son-in-law was named the captain of the army. Now the daughter has been granted marriage again. Double happiness. No, maybe it's the third blessing. "One more thing." "The date between Yueyang and Wang Ben has also been decided." "Right in the middle of this month." "General, you have to be very prepared." Ying Zheng said with a smile. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." "Everything in the Wang family is due to the king's great kindness, and all the ministers will die to repay it." Wang Jian said with great excitement. Look at the entire court. Nowadays, there is no glory of his royal family. Even without Zhao Feng's appearance. Originally, the Wang family was also targeted by Wang Wan and others, with the intention of using the power of the royal power to get engaged to the Wang family's daughter, so that Fusu could gain the support of the Wang family. If Wang Jian agrees. That is the true royal relative. But Wang Jian would naturally not agree. Even if Zhao Feng had not appeared, he might not have agreed, because he knew deeply the horror of royal power and the horror of party struggle. Once he makes the wrong step, the Wang family will be in danger. Now is the best outcome for him. He is the general, and his son-in-law is the general. As long as the Wang family doesn't do anything treasonous, the Wang family will be free from worries for at least two generations. "Start the memorial, Your Majesty." "Master Fusu's marriage will take place two days before General Wang Ben." "My clan still needs to be renovated."
A minister in official robes stood up. He was the current head of the clan, Ying Xi. In terms of seniority, he is still Ying Zheng's uncle. "Leave this matter to Zong Zheng." Ying Zheng said slowly. Ying Xi immediately accepted the order: "I accept the imperial edict." "But I have a question." Ying Xi turned around and said again. "Say." Ying Zheng looked at Ying Xi with a cold expression. Obviously. He didn't have much favorable impression of this uncle, and his attitude was very cold. "What specifications should be used for the eldest son's wedding banquet?" Ying Xi asked respectfully, with a bit of expectation in his eyes. Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang were overjoyed and looked at Ying Zheng. As a royal prince, there are naturally many specifications for the wedding banquet. If it is to be done according to the standards of a prince, then it must be done according to the standards of a prince. Obviously, Ying Xi wanted to use this to test Ying Zheng's intentions. Ying Zheng took a look and seemed to have an insight, but he didn't say anything more and said casually: "Of course it will be handled according to the specifications of the master." Hear this! Ying Xi and Wang Wan all felt disappointed in their hearts. "I understand." Ying Xi replied respectfully. "Wedding banquet." "Daughter of Li Si." Fusu felt extremely helpless at this moment, and his heart was filled with rejection. If he could, he wouldn't want to kill Li Si's daughter at all. But he pushed again and again. Because the war has been delayed for so long, the day has finally come. "Tingwei." "You have to worry about getting married this time." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and smiled. "I understand." Even though Li Si was reluctant, he could only nod in agreement. "alright." "Do you still have any memorials?" Ying Zheng asked, looking down at the court.
Today was not originally a meeting at court. It was because Zhao Feng returned today, so Ying Zhengcai issued an edict to gather hundreds of officials to welcome Zhao Feng's return. "I have no basis to start this memorial." The ministers shouted one after another. "Then let's disperse." "Zhao Feng stays and goes to Zhangtai Palace with Gu." Ying Zheng laughed, then stood up and walked towards the back hall. "I respectfully send you off to your Majesty." All the ministers paid their respects one after another. Wait until Ying Zheng's figure leaves. The ministers dispersed in all directions. "When you arrive at Zhangtai Palace, you can't talk nonsense." "You are now deeply favored by the king." "Remember not to mess around." "The king is the king, and the minister is the minister." Wang Jian walked to Zhao Feng and warned him very seriously. "Are you always so worried about me?" Zhao Feng said helplessly. "no way." "I still remember what you said back then." Wang Jian said with a bit of condescension. Mention the original words. Zhao Feng immediately smiled awkwardly. Stealing a bride? Stealing a bride in Xianyang? These are all what he said. It was clear that he was threatening Wang Jian. If he really wants to marry Wang Yan to Fusu, then Zhao Feng will make a big fuss, and that time Zhao Feng also showed a little bit of his own strength, which can be regarded as successful in intimidating Wang Jian. "Come on, stop talking." "Now Yan'er is going to be my wife. What happened back then didn't happen." "So you should take it easy." Zhao Feng said with a smile. "Okay, after you meet the king, return home as soon as possible." "You haven't met your son and daughter yet." "Hahaha."
"Very well-behaved, I like it very much." Wang Jian said with a smile. Naturally, Wang Jian had met his pair of grandchildren first. "When you say that, I don't even want to go to Zhangtai Palace." Zhao Feng also had a look of eagerness on his face. "The king's order cannot be violated." "You'd better go quickly." "I'll go back to accompany my grandson." Wang Jian smiled proudly, turned around and walked out of the hall. Looking at Wang Jian's back, Zhao Feng was also a little angry: "This father-in-law is obviously angry with me because I threatened him in the first place." Zhao Feng didn't understand what Wang Jian meant by deliberately making him angry. But he just smiled. At this time! "General, congratulations." Wei Liao walked over and smiled at Zhao Feng. "This must be the disciple of Guigu, Master Wei Liao." Zhao Feng immediately replied with a smile when he saw it. "I didn't expect the general to know me?" Wei Liao said slightly surprised. "How could Zhao Feng not recognize the name of Shaofu?" Zhao Feng smiled. "General, congratulations." Li Si came over at this time. "You're welcome, Lieutenant Ting." Seeing Li Si, Zhao Feng naturally returned the favor with a smile. "I've heard Zhao Feng's name as General for a long time, and today I see that he's well-deserved." "He is truly a hero of our Great Qin. It is God's blessing that our Great Qin has a general." "good." "General Zhao Feng is undoubtedly the leader of the younger generation of our great Qin Dynasty." At this time! Two more voices came. But it was Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang who came slowly. "I have met two prime ministers." Reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person, Zhao Feng was naturally unhappy with the two of them, but at this moment he still politely returned the gift.
Except them. One by one, ministers came to Zhao Feng to congratulate him. This may be the advantage. When you are good, when you have power, you surround yourself with good people. But once you lose power, everything around you will change. After a while of these false pleasantries. Zhao Feng was completely surrounded by these ministers, who all invited Zhao Feng into the palace to talk with them, with a strong intention to win over them. Until Zhao Gao arrived. "My lords." "Your Majesty has summoned General Zhao Feng. If anything happens, please wait until another day." Zhao Gao bowed and said in a hoarse voice. "Almost forgot." "The king summons the general." "General, it's better to go to Zhangtai Palace for an audience first." "I won't delay General." "Goodbye." … After seeing Zhao Gao, many ministers also clasped their fists and left. "General, please come with me." After everyone dispersed, Zhao Gao bowed and faced Zhao Fengdao very respectfully. He didn't say much and just led the way. "Zhao Gao." "Who can see his future?" Seeing this man who called a deer a horse in history at such a close distance, Zhao Feng felt even more emotional. And outside the palace. "The eldest son." Looking at Fusu waiting not far from the palace wall, Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang walked slowly over. "Two prime ministers." "Is it really inevitable now?" Fusu looked at the two of them and asked with some reluctance.
The two looked at each other and naturally understood what Fusu was talking about. "Master." "The king's orders cannot be disobeyed." "It has been delayed for two years now, and it cannot be delayed any longer." "The king's holy will has been decided." Wang Wan sighed. Hear this! Fusu sighed, then waved his hand and left in frustration. For Fusu. He really didn't want this kind of marriage, and it even made him feel disobedient. "Young Master has really endured it to the extreme this time." Wei Zhuang also sighed. "nothing." "Even if Li Si's daughter really marries the young master, nothing will change." "What you learned is in conflict with Li Si's." "At the end of the day." "Li Si's method is the method of cruel officials." "If the young master really succeeds to the throne, everything will be overthrown." Wang Wan said in a low voice. Wei Zhuang glanced around cautiously and lowered his voice: "Be careful what you say!" "At the end of the day." "Today Zongzheng's temptation failed to capture the king's true thoughts after all." "Is it true that the king does not have the idea of establishing the eldest son as the heir apparent?" Seeing Ying Zheng's lukewarm attitude towards Fu Su's wedding banquet today, this also made Wei Zhuang doubt himself. "Among the young masters, who can still compete with the eldest young master?" "Your Majesty is now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, so naturally he has no idea of establishing a crown prince. After the world is unified, who else can your Majesty establish besides the eldest son?" "Everyone in the court knows it, and everyone in the world knows it. The eldest son has the best chance." "Don't worry." Wang Wan comforted her very confidently. As far as he knew, no one except Fusu could hold that position. Such unique conditions. Who can compete with Fusu?
Outside Zhangtai Palace! "General, wait a moment." Zhao Gao turned around and said respectfully. Then he slowly walked into the palace. "Your Majesty." "General Zhao Feng is here." Zhao Gao respectfully reported. "Let someone prepare the hot spring, and I will take a bath with the general later." Ying Zheng told Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao was startled, and then immediately nodded: "I accept the imperial edict." … (End of chapter)
