Chapter 164: Court meeting! New camp established! Zhao Feng eating melons!
Li Si slowly walked into the main hall of Zhangtai Palace!
"I see you, Your Majesty."
Li Si bowed and paid homage.
"Now that the Zhao land has been destroyed, the laws of the Qin Dynasty still need to be implemented in the Zhao land. Why did Tingwei suddenly come here?" Ying Zheng asked very calmly without raising his head.
When not facing Zhao Feng.
Ying Zheng still looks majestic and should be kept away from strangers.
No one can guess what Ying Zheng is thinking.
"I am here today."
"I have something to ask your Majesty." Li Si bowed and bowed very respectfully.
"Plea?"
Hearing these two words, Ying Zheng's eyebrows moved slightly, he raised his head and looked at Li Si, with a bit of surprise: "It's rare for Ting Wei to use pleading words, so just say it."
"My eldest son Li You has been serving as the governor of Northern Xinjiang for several years. I would like the king to issue an order to transfer Li You away." Li Si said.
Ask for this.
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Ru Ruogu remembers it right. Li You has indeed served as the governor of Beidi County for four years. He is very good. He has inherited the government affairs ability of Tingwei. According to the regulations, he is indeed adjustable. Back."
"You don't need to plead for this matter."
Hear what Ying Zheng said.
Li Si raised his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I don't want Li You to be transferred back to the capital, but I want to transfer him into the army."
"The king has decreed that Zhao Feng be the general, but the camp has not yet been established, so I dare to offer Li You an opportunity to serve under General Zhao Feng."
Said.
Li Si bowed to Ying Zheng.
Hearing what Li Si said.
Ying Zheng immediately understood what Li Si meant.
"Do you want to fight for the position of a general for Li You?" Ying Zheng said slowly.
The tone was very calm, and there was no hint of emotion or anger.
"My lord, I dare to make a request." Li Si bowed respectfully.
"If it were the past, you wouldn't say this."
"Why is this happening this time?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and asked.
Li Si and Ying Zheng faced each other, but Li Si did not show any fear. Instead, he respectfully replied: "My lord, I would like to ask for a bloodline preservation for my Li family."
"kindness?"
Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "Who dares to attack your Li family if you are alone?"
"With the king here, my family has no worries, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future."
"I may die, but my bloodline cannot be cut off."
"Therefore, please, Your Majesty, please agree to this request." Li Si said with a sigh in his voice.
Li Si is a very smart man.
If not.
Nor can he leave his name in history.
In the past month, the situation in the court has changed due to an edict issued by Ying Zheng.
At the court, not only the eldest son Fu Su came to the court, but now the eighteenth son Hu Hai came to the court.
This situation seems to many people.
This is because the king is dissatisfied with Fusu and wants to cultivate a new candidate for the crown prince.
Therefore, many ministers in the court who originally supported Fusu turned to Hu Hai. At the same time, some court ministers who were on the sidelines chose to support Hu Hai. Coupled with the encouragement of Hu Hai's mother clan, Hu Hai now has a lot of support in the court. .
But Li Si.
He understood it clearly.
The king issued an edict to put Hu Hai in charge of the government. In addition to suppressing Fusu, the deeper key was to cultivate Fusu.
Fusu.
Although they are nominally his son-in-law, they are incompatible with each other.
One day when Fusu succeeds to the throne, Renhou may give him a way to survive, but Wang Wan and the others will definitely not give him a way to survive.
This is the struggle for power.
Fight until death!
Seeing Li Si like this, Ying Zheng sighed in his heart. He naturally understood what Li Si was thinking.
Now that he is still young, everything is still under his control, but once he dies of old age, everything will not be as he imagined.
and.
Ying Zheng also knew that among his many sons, although Fusu was not as good as he had hoped, he was indeed the most outstanding among them.
In the future, there may really be no other choice.
"That's fine."
"As you wish."
"When the court decides on the formation of the new camp tomorrow, Li You will join the army with Zhao Feng." Ying Zheng said slowly.
Hear the words.
Li Si looked excited and bowed to Ying Zheng: "My lord, thank you for your kindness."
"Li Si swears to serve the king to the death."
Ying Zheng nodded, didn't say anything more, and just waved his hand to Li Si.
And Li Si also slowly retreated.
"Compared to Wei Liao."
"Li Si does have a strong bond with the family and thinks too much."
"Is Fusu really that miserable in his heart?"
Seeing Li Si so determined, Ying Zheng couldn't help but think to himself.
…
The next day!
Chaoyi Hall!
"Hundred officials enter the palace."
As Zhao Gao's voice resounded outside the Chaoyi Hall.
All the officials waiting outside followed the official order and placed their swords on the shelves outside the hall, then entered the hall in an orderly manner according to their official ranks.
A line of military officials.
Wang Jian stood first, followed by Meng Wu, then Huan Yi, and then Zhao Feng.
A column of civil servants.
Headed by Wang Wan, followed by Wei Zhuang, Wei Liao, Li Si and other nine ministers walked in slowly.
certainly.
After entering the palace.
There will be their own seating positions.
The real court meeting does not begin while standing, but while sitting in the court hall, with clear distinction between civil and military affairs.
Court meeting.
What Zhao Feng really participated in was when he returned from destroying Zhao. That day was also a temporary court meeting.
But today is the real court meeting.
But it's different from before.
There are two figures standing in the middle, different from the civil and military ministers.
One is the eldest son Fusu, and the other is Hu Hai.
Both of them were dressed in young men's uniforms and stood in the court hall.
Compared to Fusu's calmness, Hu Hai was a bit unruly.
Perhaps it corresponds to the saying that a dragon gives birth to nine sons, and the sons are different.
"It seems that the eye drops that were given to the King of Qin were really effective. This Hu Hai actually came to the court to listen to the government."
"Wang Wan and the others must be even more anxious."
Looking at Hu Hai standing opposite Fusu, Zhao Feng smiled with great satisfaction in his heart.
This was the big gift he gave to Wang Wan and the others.
As for whether Wang Wan and the others had thought about why King Qin suddenly asked Hu Hai to come to the court, it was none of Zhao Feng's business. Of course, even if they guessed that it was related to Zhao Feng, what could they do?
Zhao Feng already knew what Wang Wan and the others were targeting back then. Zhao Feng did not only allow them to deal with him, but he could not deal with them.
This is called a return gift.
"The king is coming to court."
Zhao Gao shouted loudly.
"I respectfully welcome your Majesty."
"May the king live for thousands of years and the Qin Dynasty live for thousands of years."
Civil and military officials throughout the dynasty held their imperial huts high and shouted in unison.
The whole court felt a sense of majesty and solemnity under these loud shouts.
With everyone’s shouts.
Ying Zheng slowly walked into the court hall and took his seat on the throne.
"Pingshen." Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers shouted.
"If you have the foundation, you will retreat without the foundation." Zhao Gao shouted loudly.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"I have my own memorial." Wei Liao stood up directly.
"What's your message, Wei Qing?" Ying Zheng looked at it.
"It has been half a year since the territory of the State of Zhao was incorporated into our Great Qin. Now everything has been completed, but the land of the State of Zhao and the possession of the nobles of the State of Zhao will be greatly hindered after the acquisition."
"The nobles of Zhao State have considerable resistance and are not submissive." Wei Liao started.
"Only those with meritorious service can own the land of my great Qin, and only my great Qin's officials and titles can be given it."
"If they don't follow the laws of the country, then what are they left to do?"
"Send Gu's edict to Han Fei. If any nobles of the Zhao Kingdom prevent the land from being returned to the country, Gu will grant Han Fei the power to mobilize troops stationed in the county to suppress the disloyal nobles." Ying Zheng shouted coldly.
"I accept the edict." Wei Liao immediately accepted the order and retreated.
this matter.
He naturally made a decision, but the nobles involved in the Zhao Kingdom were too big, so he naturally wanted to get the Holy Judgment from the King of Qin.
"Report to my father."
"The power of the nobles of Zhao country is not small."
"My son thinks that he cannot be exterminated to death. If the persecution goes too far, our great Qin warriors will be damaged as a result. We can suspend the suppression of Noble Zhao and treat him with kindness to win over Noble Zhao's heart." Fusu spoke up and remonstrated. .
"Brother, this is ridiculous."
Hu Hai immediately stood up, bowed to Ying Zheng, and then said loudly: "The nobles of our Great Qin are all distinguished by their military merits and their achievements in governance, while the nobles of Zhao are the remnants of the Zhao Kingdom. They do not submit to our Great Qin, and our Great Qin sincerely Treat them with an iron fist and kill those who refuse to submit, as my father said.”
"Collecting the fields of these nobles and collecting the money of the nobles of Zhao can strengthen our Great Qin's treasury and provide our Great Qin's millions of warriors."
Fusu frowned: "Eighteenth brother, do you know how many nobles Zhao has? Do you know how many private soldiers Zhao nobles have?"
"Although we, the Great Qin Dynasty, destroyed the State of Zhao, the nobility is deeply rooted in the State of Zhao. The State of Zhao has a vast territory, which is not comparable to Han Yigui in Yingchuan."
"If we suppress it with an iron fist and inspire all the Zhao nobles to rebel against our Qin Dynasty, our Qin Dynasty will consume countless money and food, and ultimately consume our national power."
Hear what Fusu said.
Hu Hai refused to give in at all: "If we treat these Zhao nobles with kindness and refuse to take over their lands, are we ignoring the laws of the Qin Dynasty?"
"My great Qin army has a meritorious system, and the land is given according to the title."
"To be kind to noble Zhao is to be disrespectful to the millions of warriors of our Qin Dynasty."
Hu Hai said very loudly.
Listen to him.
Many ministers in the court were also impressed by Hu Hai.
It seems that these words came from Hu Hai's mouth.
Zhao Gao, who was serving Ying Zheng, smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Wei Liao has already informed the king about the disposition of noble Zhao. It is indeed right to teach the young master in advance."
"The young master's actions today will surely impress the king and the ministers."
Just as Zhao Gao thought.
Listening to what Hu Hai said, many ministers were indeed surprised.
"Hu Hai is not that eloquent."
"It seems that it was taught by Zhao Gao."
"Naturally, if you follow King Qin, you already know Wei Liao's memorial. It's interesting."
Zhao Feng smiled lightly, as if he were watching a show.
Looking at the two people fighting, there was no emotion on Ying Zheng's face.
After continuing for a while.
Watching the two sons continue to argue.
Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Feng, who was watching a show.
"This boy."
"It feels like watching a play."
"It's better to watch the play of an orphan."
With just a glance, Ying Zheng saw Zhao Feng's expression.
Sitting on the throne, it was like a classroom in later generations. Looking down, it was clear at a glance.
As Fusu and Hu Hai quarreled, the courtiers who supported them also quarreled with each other.
After continuing for a while.
As soon as Ying Zheng raised his hand, the court immediately fell silent.
"Zhao Qing."
"What do you think of the nobles of the Zhao Kingdom?"
Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Zhao Feng.
Hearing this sound, the eyes of the surrounding officials all dropped.
Zhao Feng was immediately stunned.
How come I saw it coming to me while watching a show?
but.
Under everyone's gaze.
Zhao Feng still stood up, holding the Chao Hua in his hand and said: "Your Majesty."
"I am a military official, not a civil servant."
"I asked the wrong person about noble Zhao's treatment of the king."
"I only know how to go into battle and kill the enemy, but I don't understand government affairs."
Obviously.
Zhao Feng didn't intend to say anything.
"It doesn't matter."
"You can just say it, even if it's wrong, I won't blame you." Ying Zheng smiled faintly and waved his hand.
Let Zhao Feng speak clearly.
"Although the general is a military minister, the solution he said may be unrealistic, but we are also willing to listen." Wang Wan said with a bit of a smile.
"yes."
"The general can make it clear." Wei Zhuang also said immediately.
It's clear.
From Wang Wan's tone, it was obvious that he was looking for a joke.
See this.
Zhao Feng didn't say anything else, and immediately said: "The nobles of the Zhao Kingdom are different from many of our nobles in Great Qin. They have deep-rooted gentry inheritance. Although they control a lot of land and a lot of money, there are also many capable people and strangers among them. These people There are many that can be used by our Great Qin to govern our country. "
"I think so."
"An iron fist can be combined with kindness."
"For the nobles of Zhao State who are willing to serve Da Qin, if they are willing to serve Da Qin, join Da Qin as officials, and respect the laws of Da Qin, they can retain part of their land, depending on the person who surrenders."
"certainly."
"Those who are unwilling to surrender to our Great Qin and intend to resist our Great Qin to the end must be suppressed with an iron fist."
"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey." Zhao Feng said very calmly.
Listen to what Zhao Feng said.
The ministers in the hall all had a somewhat extraordinary look, obviously they did not expect that Zhao Feng, as a military minister, could have such a combination of strength and softness.
When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyes lit up.
Han, which had been conquered by Qin, was no better than Zhao. Compared with Zhao, Han's territory was only one-third, and its population was less than half. These governance methods naturally had to be different.
"Zhao Qing's strategy is indeed feasible."
"What do you think, sir?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"My son, I agree." Fusu immediately agreed.
"My son seconded the proposal." Hu Hai also spoke immediately.
"I second the proposal." The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty agreed.
Obviously.
Compared with one who is too kind and the other who is too iron-handed, Zhao Fengzhi's strategy is indeed advisable when they are combined with each other.
"Wei Qing."
"If you send an edict to Han Fei, let him implement it according to Zhao Qing's plan."
"For those who are willing to join the service of our Great Qin, their families can be allowed to retain part of their land and harvest 70% of the land."
"Treat those who are unwilling to surrender, suppress them with an iron fist, punish the culprits, make the rest slaves, and confiscate their property." Ying Zheng immediately issued an edict.
Wei Liao naturally took the order immediately.
"alright."
"The disposition of the nobles of Zhao has been decided."
"The next step is to agree on the formation of the camp."
"Zhao Qing has become the captain of our Great Qin Guards Army, and you are honored to be your general."
"A large camp can be formed."
"And with the current national strength of Da Qin, we can indeed expand a large battalion to guard Zhao's land and control the world."
"Gu, this new camp should have three main camps."
"Does Zhao Qing have anything to say about the candidate for the general?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Fengdao.
This question came to an end.
Many ministers in the court looked disappointed.
A large camp is established with three main camps, which means there will be three general positions.
The position of chief general is in charge of an army of 100,000 and has military power.
Naturally, many ministers also want to recommend him.
Even in the military camp, there are many generals who are related to the ministers in the court.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"As for the new generals of the camp, I recommend the former deputy generals Tu Sui and Zhang Han."
"These two generals have been following me in constant conquests. They defeated Pang Nuan, beheaded Lianpo, and defeated Handan. They have made numerous military exploits. They are worthy of the position of general." Zhao Feng announced loudly.
Of the three main camps, it is naturally impossible for Zhao Feng to recommend them all as his own, but these two Zhao Feng still want them.
Even if it doesn't work out as expected, Zhao Feng, the deputy general under the main camp, will definitely be in control.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"Tu Sui, Zhang Han and General Zhao Feng are too close."
"I believe that you cannot directly serve as a general under General Zhao Feng, but should be transferred to his camp."
"For the sake of the country and the royal power, we must be on guard against it."
At this moment, Chunyu Yue couldn't help but stood up and started playing loudly.
As soon as these words fell.
Wang Wan frowned, but this time he did not say anything. Obviously, he was not prepared to stop it.
after all.
This is indeed true.
To this.
Zhao Feng just looked at Chunyu Yue calmly, and there was a bit of coldness in his heart, but he didn't show it.
"I'm just suggesting who the king wants to make the general. I won't interfere too much." Zhao Feng replied very calmly.
There was no argument or anger that Chun Yuyue wanted to see on his face.
"Tu Sui, Zhang Han."
"He is loyal to the Qin Dynasty and has made many military exploits for the Qin Dynasty. He can be the chief general."
Ying Zheng ignored Chun Yuyue's words and spoke slowly.
This sentence is naturally an announcement and the final word.
"Your Majesty, Shengming." Zhao Feng bowed immediately.
The two main camps are now in control.
"Your Majesty, you still need to be careful."
Chunyu Yue said with a reluctance on his face.
"Taifu Chunyu is a civil servant. He only needs to do his job as a civil servant. If you don't understand your own affairs, you won't need to worry about the affairs of our army."
"The King's Holy Judgment has been made, do you still want to control the King?"
"Oh, right."
"When I and Wang Yan agreed to be engaged, you sent a disciple named Meng Jia to threaten me and Wang Yan to break off the engagement."
"Although this matter has passed, I still remember it."
Zhao Feng turned his head and spoke coldly to Chunyu Yue, full of threats.
Hear this.
The ministers in the court reacted strangely for a moment.
"Is this Master Chunyu stupid? He actually sent someone to threaten General Zhao Feng to break off his engagement with the Wang family's daughter?"
"This is too audacious."
"It seems that Grand Tutor Chunyu was really deliberately trying to gain the support of the Wang family for the eldest son."
"It's really disgusting to ruin someone's marriage."
…
Many ministers started talking in low voices.
Fusu lowered his head, unable to argue.
After all, this is a fact.
Originally, the matter was revealed, but Chunyu Yue brought it upon himself, and he started targeting Zhao Feng again.
"It seems."
"Zhao Feng still needs to suppress him. If he is so angry at Chun Yuyue, he is doing this to the eldest son."
"But now that he is a general, it is difficult to suppress him. What we need to guard against is to prevent him from losing the chance to advance again in the future." Wang Wan's heart sank.
The original matter had been revealed, and now it was mentioned again. Chun Yuyue was also shocked by this incident, and his heart trembled, and his face turned red and white.
Especially when he saw the gloomy face of Ying Zheng in the high position, Chunyu Yue pointed at Zhao Feng with trembling hands: "Zhao Feng, you..."
"What are you?"
"For people like you, I don't want to talk nonsense with you." Zhao Feng said coldly and turned away.
To this.
Ying Zheng smiled from the bottom of his heart: "This kid is really unforgiving, and he will retaliate."
"Your Majesty."
"I have already recommended two generals."
"The third general still needs to be appointed by the king."
"There are also many deputy generals and Sima of the Central Army. These also need to be approved by the king." Zhao Feng said.
"The third main camp of the camp, Guzhong already has a candidate." Ying Zheng said slowly, with a kind of determination in his tone.
The ministers' eyes converged.
"Li You, the governor of Beidi County, is good at civil and martial arts, and has the ability to command troops."
"Here comes the third commander-in-chief of the new camp." Ying Zheng said slowly.
The words fell.
The expressions of Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and other people from the Fusu faction changed.
Their eyes looked at Li Si invariably.
"What a plan."
"When did he speak to the king?"
…
