Chapter 74: Marriage? Eighteenth Son Hu Hai? Birthday?

Meng Family!

Although the contemporary head of the family, Meng Wu, who is also a general, does not have as much prestige as Wang Jian.

But in Daqin, compared with Wang's family, it is more deeply rooted and has greater prestige.

Because the Meng family has served Daqin for three generations, it can be said that it is a general family loyal to the kingship. Although Meng Wu's prestige is not as good as Wang Jian, there is still an old head of the family who has retired in the Meng family, Meng Ao.

He was once the general of Daqin and the right-hand man of Bai Qi, the former Wu'an Jun.

As an old noble, the Meng family did not intervene in the confrontation with the new nobles for power. It is for this reason that the Meng family was not dared to offend the two sides of the court.

When the name of Meng Yi came out, Wang Wan and Li Si naturally dared not to compete again. Zheng Guo's recommendation was not selfish, but completely public-spirited, because he knew Meng Yi and knew that Meng Yi was a capable minister. Let him govern and he would never blame the people.

When Ying Zheng heard Zheng Guo's recommendation, he also showed a faint smile on his face.

This is what he wanted.

This seemingly casual question not only won over Zheng Guo and appeased his heart, but also found the person who was really in Ying Zheng's mind as the county governor.

This may be the power of the emperor.

Although he had some ideas in his mind, he did not say them out loud, but let his ministers say them out loud.

"Since it was recommended by Zheng Qing, how could I not agree?" Ying Zheng smiled slightly, and then looked at Meng Yi on the side: "Meng Qing, you will set off for Han tomorrow to govern Yingchuan County. When this place is completely under the control of our Great Qin and the people are settled, I will personally reward you for your merits."

Meng Yi stood up and bowed: "I am willing to accept the order to govern Yingchuan County, but I have a few doubts, please help me, Your Majesty."

"Speak." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.

"When Yingchuan is first settled, there will be riots. Should we deal with it severely or gently appease it?"

"In addition, Yingchuan is under the rule of our Great Qin. How should the land in Yingchuan be divided? Will it be all nationalized, or what?"

"I am in charge of the government affairs of Yingchuan. If I need the help of the elite soldiers to guard the city, do I have the right to mobilize troops?"

Meng Yi stood up straight and said seriously.

"If there are riots, we will deal with them severely and punish them according to Qin law."

"Han has perished, and Yingchuan County has been established. It has become the territory of our Great Qin. All should be subject to our Great Qin laws."

"If you need to mobilize troops, you can discuss it with Li Teng." Ying Zheng said directly.

Hearing this.

Meng Yi bowed: "I accept the edict."

"What else can you say?"

"As long as it is about garrisoning, I allow you to do what is not prohibited by law." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

Although the territory of Han is not large among the other countries, it has a large population of three or four million. If such a large population is mismanaged, there will be chaos. This is why it needs capable ministers to govern.

"The king has promised me three things, and I have nothing else to ask for."

"If I really encounter something that cannot be solved, I will report it to the king." Meng Yi bowed.

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded and said nothing more.

"Your Majesty."

"Now that Han is about to perish, this is a great thing for our Qin."

"I heard that the king intends to marry Princess Liyang to Wang Ben, the son of General Wang Jian."

"Why not have good things come in pairs now?"

"General Wang Jian's daughter is fourteen years old and is the same age as the eldest son."

"Just as General Yu is stationed at the border, his general Li Teng is happy to destroy Han, so we can make a marriage contract, and three good things will come together." Wang Wan stood up and suggested with a smile.

Hearing this.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly, and his expression was very calm.

Regarding this matter.

The news had spread before the Qin army launched an attack on Han, and Ying Zheng did not intervene, but let the news spread, which was obviously intentional.

As for the Wang family.

Ying Zheng intended to marry a princess to Wang Ben, which showed his respect for the Wang family and gave the Wang family supreme favor.

As for marrying the daughter of the Wang family to his eldest son, although it seemed to be a privilege, it was actually a means of checks and balances, equivalent to a hostage.

The king's power granted marriages and made alliances.

It has been like this since ancient times, even in later generations.

Wang Jian has been in the Qin for so many years, how could he not know the king's will, even if he didn't want to do it in his heart, what could he do?

The king's edict was issued, and the ministers could not violate it.

"This proposal."

"Let's discuss it when the general returns triumphantly." Ying Zheng said slowly.

Hearing this.

Wang Wan's old face was full of smiles.

He naturally heard what Ying Zheng meant, and there was no objection, so he promoted this matter.

As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Wan's official position has reached the level of one person above ten thousand people, checking and balancing the court, holding great power. At such a position, it is impossible for him to advance, but for the sake of his Wang family and his descendants, he naturally has to make plans early.

Obviously.

The key to planning for descendants is the kingship, assisting the future king.

And his Wang family chose the natural heir to the throne, Fusu.

"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Wan said respectfully, and then retreated.

"Okay."

"This matter is over, I still have to review the memorials, and if there is anything, we will discuss it in the court tomorrow." Ying Zheng said.

"I will take my leave."

The ministers naturally did not dare to disobey, and after bowing and paying homage, they all withdrew.

In the hall.

Only Zhao Gao, who was serving on the side, was left.

"Why don't you go out?"

Ying Zheng looked up and asked calmly.

"Reply to the king, I want to ask which palace you are staying tonight?" Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and said humbly.

"You decide on this matter." Ying Zheng said casually.

Ying Zheng was not too focused on these things.

After all, the concubines in the harem were not his beloved ones. Those women were just to continue the bloodline and pass on the family line.

As a king of a country, he was also the king of the strongest country in Shenzhou.

There were no more than ten concubines in Ying Zheng's harem. Compared with the dozens or hundreds of King Han, it can be imagined that Ying Zheng did not have these women in his heart.

"A few days ago, Madam Hu said that the eighteenth prince missed the king. It happened that today was the eighteenth prince's eighth birthday. How about the king going to Madam Hu's palace tonight?" Zhao Gao said tentatively.

"Hai'er's birthday?"

Thinking of Hu Hai's clever appearance, Ying Zheng's eyes also flashed with warmth, and then nodded: "Just do as you say."

"I will receive the edict."

Zhao Gao was delighted and immediately received the edict.

Then he slowly stood up and left Zhangtai Palace.

But at this moment, Ying Zheng looked confused, as if he thought of something when he heard the word "birthday".

"Birthday."

"Afang's birthday will be in eighteen days."

"It would be great if you were still by my side."

"If I had protected you at the beginning, I would always have you by my side, and our child might be older than Fusu."

"Where are you?"

Ying Zheng muttered to himself, his eyes filled with longing and memories.
