Chapter 124 Ying Zheng’s Reward!

Under the shouts of the entire court, Ying Zheng's face became more and more joyful.

"Read this battle report."

"You will understand why I am so happy." Ying Zheng handed over the general report with a smile on his face.

Zhao Gao took it respectfully, then faced the hall and slowly opened the general report.

The ministers gathered their eyes and looked at it expectantly.

"I, Wang Jian, present this report to the king."

"My Great Qin commander Zhao Feng has not stopped fighting since he defeated Wei Wuji in Weicheng. After conquering Wei State's Shangweicheng, he obtained half a year's supply of food and grass for the Wei army's 200,000 troops. After thinking about it, Zhao Feng decided to lead his troops to attack Wei and open up the connection between Yingchuan and Zhao State."

"On the first day, we pursued the remnants of Wei Wuji's army and killed Wei general Gongsun Xi."

"On the third day, we attacked Xingcheng, killed 3,000 enemies, and successfully broke through the city and captured it."

"On the fifth day, we attacked Shucheng, killed 2,000 enemies, and successfully broke through the city and captured it."

"On the seventh day, the troops were divided into five routes..."

Zhao Gao read aloud.

This military report is about Zhao Feng's progress towards Wei State step by step, the results of each battle, and the merits of each city.

"On the 39th day, Zhao Feng led his 60,000 soldiers to Lincheng. At this moment, Wei Wuji had mobilized 50,000 elite soldiers to guard Lincheng, with a total defense force of nearly 80,000."

"On the 41st day, Zhao Feng began to attack Lincheng after probing. When the Wei army heard the name of Zhao Feng, their morale was completely lost. Lincheng was captured in one day, and the road from Yingchuan to Zhao State was opened."

"On the 45th day, Zhao Feng led 50,000 soldiers into Zhao territory, encountered Lian Po's army, fought with Lian Po, and finally annihilated Lian Po's 20,000 troops. Zhao Feng personally killed Lian Po."

"On the 46th day, Zhao Feng led his army to join forces with the second main battle camp of Lantian."

...

Under Zhao Gao's reading.

The ministers in the court clearly heard how Zhao Feng defeated the enemy and invaded Zhao during this period of time.

Since the Wei army withdrew, the traces consumed time of 46 days, even less than two months, and they actually achieved such a result. If it weren't for this military report, who would dare to believe it?

"In forty-six days, he seized dozens of cities and thousands of miles of territory from Wei State, relying only on 60,000 troops. How did he do that?"

"Is Zhao Feng really a natural general?"

"In the past, Zhao Feng was known for his bravery and became a deputy general by virtue of his bravery. But since the battle of Weicheng, Zhao Feng's surprise attack proved that he was good at commanding troops. This time, he seized thousands of miles of territory from Wei State with only 60,000 troops, which further proved it."

"He seized thousands of miles of territory for the Qin State and killed Lian Po for the Qin State. Such ability has earned Zhao Feng the qualification to be promoted to general. I am afraid that in a few years, Zhao Feng will become the youngest general in my Qin State."

"It's amazing. With such a capable general, the king will value him more."

"Zhao Feng is the new noble of my Qin State in the future."

"This boy can only be befriended and not offended..."

Hearing this military report.

The ministers in the court couldn't help but take Zhao Feng seriously, at least they were more certain that Zhao Feng would have a seat in the court in the future.

"My Lords, did you hear the military report clearly?"

After the military report was read, Ying Zheng laughed and looked at the civil and military officials in the court.

"God bless the Great Qin."

"Let the king get such a brave and capable general like General Zhao Feng." Li Si said immediately.

"God bless the Great Qin." All the court officials shouted again.

"Hahaha."

Ying Zheng laughed and found the four words "God bless the Great Qin" very pleasant to the ears.

"That's right."

"God bless my Great Qin."

"In the past."

"I feel sorry for the former Wu'an Jun of my Great Qin. If Wu'an Jun was still there, I could give him a bigger promise."

"But now, I have a general who is no less powerful than Wu'an Jun."

"This is God's blessing." Ying Zheng said with a big laugh.

His words showed Ying Zheng's attention to Zhao Feng.

"Compare Zhao Feng to Bai Qi."

"This boy's weight in the king's heart has reached such a level."

"Perhaps, we really have to try to make peace with Zhao Feng, even if the Meng family suffers some losses, at least we can't let him target the eldest son." Wang Wan sighed in his heart. He originally cared about the eldest son's face, but now seeing Zhao Feng's popularity, he couldn't help but change his mind.

It was really too much pressure from Zhao Feng.

If it was in the court, Wang Wan might be able to suppress it, and he was not afraid of Zhao Feng at all.

But in the army, Wang Wan's hand could not reach that far, even if there were generals he secretly recruited in the army, but compared to Zhao Feng's popularity, it was still not suppressed.

After all, the existence of the Qin military merit system prevented the intervention of powerful officials.

After all, it was brought by four words, directly to the ears of the emperor.

This is the Qin military merit system.

The Shaofu Wei Liao personally asked about the merits, and then Wei Liao reported to the king.

Who is Wei Liao?

He is a disciple of Guigu, and his calculations are as good as a demon.

Wei Liao participated in all the strategies, tactics, and plans of Qin's unification of the world.

Want to challenge the military merit system and suppress Zhao Feng under Wei Liao's nose?

This is impossible.

As for winning over Wei Liao to use them and let him support Fusu?

Wang Wan has tried this before.

But Wei Liao doesn't care at all.

The reason why he came down from Guigu is to fulfill the great wish that all the disciples of Guigu have never fulfilled.

That is to assist the king to unify the world.

Before leaving Guigu, Wei Liao inspected the kings of various countries in the world and finally chose Qin Wangzheng.

And the day chosen was the day when Ying Zheng killed Lao Ai and took power.

Perhaps.

Killing Lao Ai was a test for Qin Wang Zheng by Wei Liao. After completing the test, Wei Liao entered Qin.

And with Wei Liao's advice, Ying Zheng was even more powerful.

Among all the ministers in the court, Wei Liao was undoubtedly the first in Ying Zheng's heart.

"Wang Wan, Chun Yu Yue."

"This time, it's a joke."

Standing in the line of civil officials, Han Fei saw Wang Wan's expression and smiled in his heart.

It has been a year since he entered Qin. Although Han Fei's official position was not among the Nine Ministers, he was also the Internal History, just below the Nine Ministers, but he did not join any faction in the court and did his own thing.

This is also Han Fei's pride.

The only person who can be valued by Han Fei as a friend is Zhao Feng.

In Zhao Feng's words, people like Han Fei are cheap bones, and they must be beaten and scolded, and they must be hard.

Now, Han Fei thinks Zhao Feng is a good friend.

"Wei Qing."

"Zhao Feng has made great contributions again. How should he be rewarded?" Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao and said.

"In the battle of Weicheng that day, the king has promoted General Zhao to the chief general. Now General Zhao Feng has won thousands of miles of territory for our Qin and killed Lian Po. According to the military merit system, these are two great merits."

"The merit of expanding the country's territory and the merit of killing a powerful general."

"I think that General Zhao can be promoted to two titles." Wei Liao smiled and said immediately.

"Wei Qing proposed, what do you think?" Ying Zheng asked while looking down at the court.

At this moment.

Wang Wan was hesitant to repair the relationship with Zhao Feng, so who dared to refuse.

Just when the whole court was about to second the proposal.

Chunyu Yue couldn't help but stood up directly: "Your Majesty, I think there is one more thing to consider when promoting General Zhao Feng to a noble title. Who gave Zhao Feng the crime of leaving his post without permission and arbitrarily dispatching troops to attack Wei?"

"Your Majesty issued an edict to attack Zhao, which was my Great Qin responding to Yan's request, and it was a legitimate reason for the war."

"Zhao Feng mobilized troops without permission, which is indeed against the way of a minister."

"Please judge the crime, Your Majesty."

As soon as these words fell.

Wang Wan's face changed.

Wei Zhuang's face changed.

"Stupid."

The two old foxes cursed in their hearts.

If Zhao Feng led the army to defeat this time and did not make great achievements, then perhaps he could be judged for arbitrarily dispatching troops, after all, this is indeed a crime.

But now Zhao Feng has made great achievements. Not only did he seize thousands of miles of Wei territory for Great Qin, but he also killed Lian Po.

Such a great achievement is still being judged?

Unless Qin Wangzheng has a hole in his brain, it would never be like this.

Without waiting for Wang Wan to speak to save the situation.

The smile on Ying Zheng's face turned gloomy.

"What did you say?"

"Criminalize Zhao Feng?"

"Did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong?" Ying Zheng frowned and said coldly.

This was not a final statement, but a chance for Chunyu Yue to think about what to say again.

"Your Majesty."

"It was Grand Tutor Chunyu who was wrong."

"General Zhao was ordered by the king to have absolute dispatch power over the Weicheng army, and this is not considered as leaving his post without permission." Wang Wan immediately stood up and said.

Chunyu Yue wanted to speak again after seeing this.

Wei Zhuang glared at Chunyu Yue to warn him, and then stood up: "Prime Minister Wang is right, but Grand Tutor Chunyu was too inconsiderate this time. After all, he is a Confucian Grand Tutor and does not understand military affairs. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

The two sang in unison and directly erased the problem.

"General Zhao Feng has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, and he deserves a big reward."

"I am willing to go to Zhao in person and take my father's edict to reward General Zhao Feng."

At this time, Fusu stood up and said very seriously.

"My lord, this is feasible."

"Maybe you can take this opportunity to win over Zhao Feng. Even if you can't, at least let Zhao Feng not be your enemy in the future."

"You are good at being respectful to the wise and humble." Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang looked at each other and were delighted.

Although Chunyu Yue, as a teacher, was a little stupid, his mind was full of self-righteous dead reasoning. Although Fusu was sometimes pedantic, he was polite and kind, and had a good reputation in the court.

After hearing what Fusu said.

Ying Zheng took a look, his gloomy face gradually faded, and a faint smile appeared instead.

"Zhao has not yet been conquered by my Qin Dynasty, and it is still full of crises. Do you dare to go?" Ying Zheng said with some consideration.

"As the son of my father, a member of the royal family of the Qin State, I have nothing to fear." Fusu replied with a serious face.

Hearing this.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but take a closer look at Fusu, as if he saw a different Fusu.

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded.

"Draft an edict."

"Zhao Feng expanded the territory of the Qin State by thousands of miles, and made great contributions. He also killed Lian Po, the general of the Zhao State, and made great contributions."

"Reward both merits and raise the rank by two levels." Ying Zheng said majestically.

"Your Majesty is wise." The civil and military officials of the court shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, I also want to go to Zhao with the eldest son to reward General Zhao Feng."

At this time, Han Fei stood up and asked loudly.

Hearing this.

Ying Zheng looked at Han Fei in surprise.

Since entering Qin, Han Fei has been diligent in handling government affairs, and everything has been very simple in his hands. Everything is done in an orderly manner, but Han Fei is arrogant and has his own character. He never participates in factions in the court. Like Wei Liao, he is a loner, like a transparent person in the court.

Today's opening surprised Ying Zheng.

"It's rare that Han Qing spoke up."

"I agree." Ying Zheng smiled and waved.

"I thank the king for his kindness." Han Fei bowed immediately.

After conferring the title on Zhao, Ying Zheng smiled: "Fusu."

"Your son is here." Fusu responded immediately.

"After going to Zhao, bring me a message to Wang Jian."

"I will not ask about the killing on the battlefield. I hope I can come to Handan in person soon." Ying Zheng said loudly, with a tone of importance on destroying Zhao.

Not as good as destroying Han.

Destroying Zhao is what Ying Zheng really wants in his heart, and it is his obsession.

For Ying Zheng, no, perhaps for the former Zhao Zheng.

Handan!

The place of humiliation for Zhao Zheng.

There, Zhao Zheng suffered endless torture and endless injustice.

If it weren't for Zhao Zheng's teacher's teaching, if Zhao Zheng hadn't endured humiliation since childhood, he might have died there long ago.

Destroy Zhao!

Not only for the unification of the world by the Qin Dynasty, but also for revenge!

He wanted to destroy the State of Zhao, make the once humiliating land his territory, and trample Zhao Yan under his feet to let him know what a true king is.

"Father's words, I will definitely bring to General Wang Jian." Fusu replied immediately.

"Wei Qing."

"How is the battle situation in Zhao Dai?" Ying Zheng asked.

Now the military reports from the Lantian camp are constantly coming back, but the military reports from Dai are very few.

"Please be at ease, Your Majesty."

"General Meng Wu and his son personally led the troops to attack Dai, and Li Mu's 200,000 border troops had no chance to go south."

"I have been in contact with General Meng Wu. Now the general is still fighting in Dai and has not confronted Li Mu head-on." Wei Liao smiled and said.

"That's good." Ying Zheng nodded, and then looked at the ministers in the court: "Do you have any memorials?"

"I have no memorials to make." The ministers shouted.

"Then let's adjourn the court." Ying Zheng waved his hand, slowly stood up, and left the court hall.

"Farewell, Your Majesty." The ministers paid their respects one after another.

After Ying Zheng left.

Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang immediately walked towards Fusu.

"Sir, let's talk in the palace later." Wang Wan smiled slightly.

"Yes." Fusu nodded.

"Brother Han."

Li Si also blocked Han Fei's way at this time.

"What's the matter, Tingwei?" Han Fei looked at Li Si calmly.

Li Si glanced at the ministers who had not yet dispersed around him, and said very seriously: "Excuse me for a moment."

Han Fei nodded and walked to one side outside the hall, and Li Si immediately followed him.

"I wonder if Brother Han went to Zhao State this time for personal or public interest?" Li Si smiled slightly and asked.

"What about personal interest? What about public interest?" Han Fei glanced at Li Si.

"If possible, for the sake of our friendship, Brother Han, can you tell Zhao Feng the truth about what Wang Wan and Chunyu Yue are doing to Zhao Feng?" Li Si whispered.

Han Fei glanced at Li Si, then asked, "Why?"

"Fusu has received help from the royal family and the old nobles. The reason why Fusu asked to go to Zhao State this time is to win over Zhao Feng, or to smooth over the gap between him and Zhao Feng."

"If Fusu really succeeds, Zhao Feng may be won over by him. If there is a future general supporting him, Fusu will be more prosperous in the court." Li Si said with a serious face.

Han Fei looked at Li Si with a smile: "Tingwei, you are asking me to sow discord between Zhao Feng and the eldest son. What's the use of this for me?"

"Besides, although I haven't been with Zhao Feng for too long, I also respect him as a person. It won't be much good for Zhao Feng to offend the eldest son."

"Do it yourself."

After that.

Han Fei just flicked his sleeves and left.

Looking at Han Fei's back, Li Si's face flashed with anger, but more helpless.

Han Fei is no longer the Han Fei who was imprisoned when he first arrived in Daqin. Now he is the internal historian of Daqin. Even if Li Si wants to do anything to him, it is impossible.

"Sir."

"It is right for you to ask the king to reward Zhao Feng today."

"From the perspective of Zhao Feng's rise this time, it is impossible to suppress him, and the king's grace to him is even greater. Maybe he can be appointed as a general in the future."

"It is best not to offend this boy for now."

"This time, you can go and explain what Chunyu Taifu did, and Mengjia can also come to apologize one day." Wang Wan said with a smile.

"This time I asked my father for permission to explain what happened that day."

"After all, what the teacher did that day was too much." Fusu nodded slowly.

"You are the eldest son, how can you apologize to a minister?"

"As the eldest son, the future crown prince, it is not wrong even if I am wrong." Chunyu Yue said unhappily.

Hearing this.

Wang Wan couldn't help but said: "Grandmaster, can you discuss with us before doing anything in the future?"

"At the beginning, I offended Zhao Feng for no reason, and today I reported Zhao Feng's crime in the court without considering the consequences. Fortunately, the king is not going to blame, otherwise you will implicate the young master again."

"You must understand that you are the teacher of the young master, and your actions represent the young master invisibly."

"You must pay attention to everything in the future, and don't be reckless."

Listening to Wang Wan's preaching, Chunyu Yue was a little unhappy: "Does the king think I did something wrong?"

"If I am wrong, I am wrong."

"For the sake of the future great cause of the young master, you must not act recklessly." Wang Wan said with a straight face.

He naturally understood that if Chunyu Yue was not allowed to restrain himself at this moment, it would be Fusu who would be harmed in the future.

Seeing Wang Wan's angry look, Chunyu Yue wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

After all, in terms of status and official position, he is not as good as Wang Wan at all.

"The Prime Minister is right."

"Master, you must be more careful in the future."

"You represent the eldest son." Wei Zhuang also said, who had never spoken.

He was really afraid of Chun Yuyue, a pig teammate.

Faced with the two prime ministers, Chunyu Yue could only keep silent no matter how reluctant he was.

"It's just that this Han Fei, I can't understand why he took the initiative to invite Ying to the Kingdom of Zhao." Wang Wan said at this time.

"It is said that Han Fei was escorted by Zhao Feng before he was transferred to Daqin. Could this be the reason?" Fusu guessed.

"Maybe."

"As for Han Fei, this person is extremely smart, but what is certain is that he is not on Li Si's side, and there seems to be some resentment between the two."

"The best thing is to win over as many people as possible." Wei Zhuang said.

"I understand." Fusu nodded.

Inside Zhangtai Palace!

"Your Majesty."

"Your prediction was correct."

"Zhao Feng really did not disappoint you."

"He actually defeated Lincheng and invaded Zhao State with his tens of thousands of troops." Wei Liao sat on the side with a smile on his face.

"Although I had expectations before, Zhao Feng was able to expand thousands of miles and reach the Zhao Kingdom in less than two months. This was something Gu never expected."

"Just as Gu said."

"This boy is truly a god-given general." Ying Zheng laughed.

"Your Majesty."

"Now dozens of cities in the Wei Kingdom have changed owners and have come under the control of our Great Qin."

"The flags in the back hall need to be changed." Wei Liao said with a smile.

"Walk."

Ying Zheng laughed and stood up immediately.

Wei Liao was the same, with a smile on his face.

The monarch and his ministers walked directly to the back hall.

The two took out dozens of small Qin flags from a box on one side.

The monarch and his ministers happily pulled down the flags of many cities on the map of Wei State, and then planted the flags of Qin.

This huge sand table map has all the cities of the Chinese states marked on it. It was drawn by people from all generations of the Qin Dynasty and is very accurate.

The pleasure of the monarch and his ministers is to watch the city on this map gradually turn into a city belonging to Da Qin. Seeing that the two of them look so familiar, it is obvious that this has happened more than once.

"What do you think of Han Fei?" Ying Zheng asked while planting the flag.

"A rare talent in the world."

"However, although he joined Da Qin, he did not really try his best. After serving, he only completed his duties and did not perform too outstandingly."

"Maybe he still has a grudge deep in his heart." Wei Liao said.

"His talents are indeed of great use."

"From now on, Gu will make people sincerely serve Gu." Ying Zheng smiled confidently.

"What happened to the king's personal guards under Zhao Feng's command?" Wei Liao asked again.

When it comes to such secret matters, perhaps Wei Liao is the only one in the entire court who dares to ask.

after all.

When he first joined the Qin Dynasty, and after gaining Ying Zheng's trust, even the Black Ice Platform, which was passed down from generation to generation in the Qin Dynasty, became known to Wei Liao.

"It sounds strange."

Ying Zheng stopped what he was doing.

Wei Liao also stopped: "I would like to hear the details."

"Zhao Feng asked the commanders of his personal guards to select elites from the army. Heibingtai was originally among them for more than ten days, but he was sent back on the second day."

"Without exception, all of these dozen people have not become Zhao Feng's personal guards." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, with a kind of thoughtfulness in his eyes.

"Could it be that they exposed the identity of the Black Ice Terrace Dark Warrior?" Wei Liao also said slightly surprised.

"Impossible." Ying Zheng waved his hand, with a serious look in his eyes: "The Black Ice Platform dark warriors don't know each other. Even if a few of them are removed from the list due to bad behavior, it is impossible to catch them all in one go. This is also an isolated case. A curious place.”

Hear the words.

Wei Liao also had a thoughtful look on his face. He naturally understood that the Black Ice Platform was extremely strict. Even if they were both undercover soldiers, no one would know each other unless they were wearing the same clothes and blended into the crowd.

Black ice platforms are scattered all over China.

In the army.

Government.

Even the people at the bottom.

All spread out.

This is the scary thing about Black Ice Platform.

This also provided Great Qin with an unknown amount of information, laying the foundation for Great Qin's future unification.

"Is it possible that Zhao Feng can still see through people's hearts?" Wei Liao said with a smile.

"Seeing through people's hearts?" Ying Zheng smiled faintly, but shook his head: "Is there really a way to see through people's hearts?"

"Maybe."

"Other than this, I really can't figure out why Zhao Feng was able to accurately find the dark warrior." Wei Liao smiled.

"It seems that Zhao Feng is indeed quite powerful."

"Even the most secretive secret warrior can be found." Ying Zheng said slowly.

"Why don't your Majesty send some secret warriors?" Wei Liao said with a smile.

"The personal guards around him are already full, and it is impossible to arrange any more." Ying Zheng shook his head.

"I don't know whether he did it unintentionally or intentionally."

"It's okay if it's unintentional. If it's really intentional and you can see through people's hearts, then Zhao Feng would be too scary."

"He is not an ordinary person." Wei Liao sighed.

"For this boy."

"I am more and more curious." Ying Zheng smiled.

"As the king's minister, Zhao Feng will definitely be seen in the future."

"It's a pity that the eldest son went to reward him this time, otherwise I really want to go to Zhao State to see the most cutting-edge general of my Qin." Wei Liao said with a smile.

After all.

Neither the king nor the minister had ever seen Zhao Feng.

An eighteen-year-old commander who repeatedly made meritorious deeds, they were really curious!

...
