"Your Majesty is wise."
After hearing how Ying Zheng dealt with the heir of King Anli of Wei and the royal family of Wei, the old general Wang He was amazed.
With his eyesight, he could naturally tell.
His Majesty's actions not only solved the problem of the heir of King Wei Anli and the royal family of Wei, but also removed a huge burden from Qin.
Let's not talk about anything else.
King Wei Anli and the royal family of the Wei Kingdom had a total of several thousand people.
If His Majesty kept these thousands of people in the palace for the sake of the Qin country's face, they would be fed, clothed, and used for many years.
It could probably be used to pay tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
In addition, if His Majesty's method of dividing the barbarians really worked…
These people could become a part of the entire Qin Country. Not only could they provide taxes for the Qin Country and pay for the army, the children they gave birth to could also become the source of the Qin Country's soldiers.
"Minister Wang, you flatter me."
Seeing that Wang He had seen through his plan, Ying Zheng said humbly.
This Wang He was indeed a veteran of three dynasties, his thoughts were quite clear.
"Your Majesty, there are many beautiful women in the royal family of Chu. You have just ascended the throne not long ago and have yet to take in a concubine. Do you want to choose a few to fill the harem?”
At this moment, Zhao Gao, who was standing at the side, wanted to make Ying Zheng happy, so he immediately suggested.
"Zhao Gao, have you forgotten what I just said?”
Who knew that as soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, Ying Zheng's face turned gloomy.
"If I want to take a concubine, I will speak. Moreover, I am only thirteen this year, and you want me to take a concubine. Could it be that you want me to become that muddle-headed ruler?”
Ying Zheng flew into a rage and shouted at Zhao Gao.
"Your Majesty, I know my sins, I know my sins."
Zhao Gao didn't think too much about it. He had only thought of it at the last minute to make Ying Zheng happy. He didn't expect that this flattery would fall on his lap. Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"I'll let you off this time. If there's a next time, you know the consequences.”
Ying Zheng said immediately.
Hearing this, Zhao Gao felt relieved and was about to stand up.
Ying Zheng continued," I've thought about it carefully, and I feel that what you said makes sense. How about this, you can choose one or two beautiful women from the descendants of King Anli of Wei and the royal family of the Wei Kingdom to fill the harem first. As for whether to take in concubines, I'll make the decision when I'm older.”
Zhao Gao, who realized that it was just a false alarm, replied,"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, he went down to do his work.
Ying Zheng's words had truly frightened him.
Having been by Ying Zheng's side for so long, he once again experienced the rare feeling of accompanying a king as if accompanying a tiger.
"Your Majesty is wise and has not been blinded by beauty.”
After Zhao Gao left, General Wang He looked at Ying Zheng with admiration.
Ying Zheng was speechless.
He felt a little embarrassed taking in one or two women to fill his harem.
Now, it seemed that the emperor's privileges were indeed much greater than he had imagined.
Although he was only the king of the Qin country and had just destroyed the Wei country, he was still some distance away from becoming the first emperor since the creation of the world.
"Wang Qing, you have contributed greatly to the destruction of Wei Country. In three days, I will confer the title during the court meeting.”
Then, Ying Zheng said to Wang He.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. The fact that we were able to destroy the Wei Kingdom so easily this time was because of the network that Your Majesty reformed.”
Wang Wei did not dare to claim credit, self-modesty said.
Ying Zheng also knew that the net had played a huge role in the destruction of the Wei Kingdom.
However, this also depended on cooperation.
If Wang He was a mediocre strategist, even with the help of the net, he might not be able to seize the opportunity to kill the Wei Kingdom in one blow.
After a few words of encouragement, he ordered a eunuch beside him to send Wang He off. The noisy Zhangtai Palace quieted down once again.
……
Three days.
They arrived in the blink of an eye.
The sky had just brightened and the rooster had just crowed when the Great Qin officials who lived in Xianyang City gathered in Zhangtai Palace in carriages.
It was very reasonable for Ying Zheng to set up the rules of the court meeting.
There was a court meeting every five days, and it was at dawn.
This way, there would not be the Ming and Qing Dynasties, where officials had to get up before dawn to count the number of days they had to go to court.
When the melodious chimes of the palace bells rang out, all the officials of the Qin country.
They had already gathered at the foot of the steps outside Zhangtai Palace.
They bowed and entered the main hall of Zhangtai Palace according to the order of their positions.
The side hall of Zhangtai Palace was where Ying Zheng usually rested, dealt with government affairs, and met with the officials of the imperial court.
After entering the main hall of Zhangtai Palace.
The throne in Zhangtai Palace was still empty.
The civil and military officials stood according to the order of their positions.
The hour arrived.
Dressed in a black royal robe, with the Purple Myrtle Heavenly Sword hanging from his waist, and with a tasseled crown on his head, Ying Zheng walked out from the back garden of Zhangtai Palace, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Seeing Ying Zheng sitting on the throne, hundreds of ministers in the palace bowed to Ying Zheng in unison.
"No need for formalities. Get up."
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"Everyone, this time, General Wang He led 300,000 troops to attack the Wei Kingdom. In less than two months, he destroyed the Wei Kingdom.”
Ying Zheng asked.
"Your Majesty, we understand."
the officials replied.
"How do you think I should reward General Wang He?”
Then, Ying Zheng asked.
Hearing Ying Zheng's question, the people below immediately started whispering.
Because Wang He had fought for the Qin Country and made great contributions, he was listed as one of the four ministers by the previous emperor.
If he were to be rewarded generously, then General Wang He would probably have no other rewards.
"Your Majesty…"
Prime Minister Wang Wan stood out and was about to express his opinion.
"How about this, General Wang He has contributed greatly to the country's destruction of the Wei Kingdom. He will be promoted to the rank of Great Shu Chang and rewarded with 100,000 gold.”
Without waiting for Wang Wan to speak, Ying Zheng interrupted Prime Minister Wang Wan and spoke first.
Wang Wan was speechless.
Your Majesty, since you've already made preparations to reward General Wang He, just say it. Why are you asking us?
As a matter of fact, Ying Zheng did have a plan in his mind about how to reward Wang He.
Destroying a country was only a reward of one rank.
However, Wang He had already reached the rank of Si Che Shu Chang.
Among the twenty ranks of nobility in the Qin Dynasty, this was already the seventeenth rank.
The higher the rank, the harder it was to advance.
Ying Zheng rewarded Wang He with a promotion, but it was not a small reward.
