Now that Great Qin had unified the four seas for three years, it was time for them to retire.
Whether it was the Wang Clan's prestige or reputation, they had already reached an unprecedented height.
As the saying goes, it is lonely at the top.
But who could guarantee that it would always be like this?
The Wang family was at the mouth of the wind and waves, and it was inevitable that they would be envied by villains. Sometimes, they would slander and attack evil. It seemed like they had boundless glory, but in reality, they were already surrounded by danger.
Especially in the past few years when the world was unified, Wang Jian often pondered the Emperor's intentions at home.
Logically speaking, if His Majesty wanted to send the princess to the Wang family to appease and commend her, there was no need for her to marry an old man who was about to die.
His own son and grandson could do it.
However, marrying an old man like him was really intriguing.
Back then, he had already been diagnosed with a disease that was difficult to treat.
His Majesty had known about this back then, but he still married the Eldest Princess to him.
Wang Jian was very certain that even the slightest movement in the Qin country would be difficult to hide from this ambitious Emperor.
Moreover, he had sought out famous doctors everywhere and even went to the palace to find a doctor.
If His Majesty did not know about this matter, Wang Jian would find it strange instead.
The problem was that even His Majesty knew that he was incapable of being a human, but he still surrendered the princess to him. What was the meaning of this?
Laughing at him?
His Majesty was not so petty and boring!
In the past two years, he had been busy with the war and had no time to think about it.
In the past few years, he seemed to have gradually understood that the Emperor was hinting at him to retreat.
"Bastard, are you trying to frame the princess for being unfaithful and frame me for being unjust?”
Ying Zheng was instantly enraged, pointing at Wang Jian and berating him.
Hmm?
Did he guess wrong?
Wang Jian was stunned. Seeing that His Majesty was so righteous and awe-inspiring, his anger could not be exhausted. For a moment, he was somewhat puzzled.
"Your Majesty, I have no such intentions."
There was no other way. He really did it out of good intentions. Since he could not be humane, then he and the princess were only husband and wife in name.
Since that was the case, it would be better to sell the Emperor a favor so that the Emperor would remember the good of the Wang family more and forget the unhappiness of the past.
One had to know that back then, His Majesty didn't listen to him and chose to listen to Li Xin's nonsense.
He was more or less unhappy in his heart. Who wouldn't have a time when their blood rushed to their heads?
He had been careful for most of his life, but he did not expect that he would still be willful at his old age.
Later, as he expected, Li Xin was young and aggressive, underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly, killing two hundred thousand elites of the Qin country.
The entire country was shocked and the world was in an uproar.
At this time of crisis, if they could not sweep away the dark clouds of failure that hung over the Qin country.
Not only would the war to destroy the country end in vain, but it might even cause the world to besiege it.
Those vassal states that had been destroyed could very well be resurrected.
In order to regain his prestige, His Majesty could only repeatedly ask him to come out of the mountain and lead the army to attack Chu.
But at that time, he was old and muddle-headed. He actually threw a tantrum. Not only did he make the Emperor beg repeatedly, but he also made the Emperor personally come to apologize.
Moreover, he made many excessive requests. Thinking about Wang Jian now, he felt that he must have lost his mind back then, right?
"Don't mention this matter again. Since Yuan Man has already entered the Wang Clan, she is a member of the Wang Clan in life and her soul in death.”
Ying Zheng slapped the wooden table in front of him heavily, and his voice was full of conviction, just like a raging lion.
Although the Emperor had not settled scores with him in the past few years and had granted him all his requests, he was still very happy.
However, for some reason, the Wang family could always receive thick malice from the Emperor.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but this kind of malice always came at the right time.
"The Eldest Princess is in her prime, and this subject is already rotten. I'm not worthy of the Eldest Princess, and I can't bear His Majesty's love.”
"This subject is guilty. Your Majesty, please punish me."
Wang Jian's face was filled with sincerity, and his words seemed to be from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at Wang Jian, who was kneeling on one knee and begging for forgiveness, Ying Zheng stood up.
He slowly walked down from the throne. After which, he bent down to help Wang Jian up. He looked at the terrified Wang Jian and said,"All these years, if the old general has any requests, I will definitely fulfill them.”
"I am not the King of Yue, Gou Jian, and the old general would not have become a scholar.”
"I am not Fu Chai, and the old general is not Wu Zixu.”
"All these years, the old general has always been worried that the birds will run out, the good bow will be hidden, the cunning rabbit will die, and the dog will be cooked.”
"Haven't I done enough for so many years?”
"Actually, many years ago, Zhen already knew that the old general was suffering from a hidden illness. The reason why I still surrendered Yuan Man to the Wang family and betrothed her to you was indeed because of two selfish motives.”
"Firstly, back then, Zhen handed over all the soldiers in the country to the old general. The Eldest Princess entered the Wang family to tell the old general that the Wang family and the royal family coexisted in sorrow and prosperity.”
"Secondly, the old general is cautious by nature. Everyone knows that Zhen regards the Eldest Princess as the pearl in Zhen's palm. She is the one Zhen dotes on the most among all of Zhen's daughters. This is equivalent to giving the Wang family a guarantee of safety.”
"As long as the Eldest Princess is here, the Wang family will continue to be favored. I thought that the old general would let down his guard, but I didn't expect that I would make a mistake in the end.”
"Today, I'll get straight to the point. As long as I'm in power, the Wang family will stand tall in Great Qin.”
"I will remember the old general's outstanding contributions. The ruler of the Great Qin Empire will never forget the Wang family's sacrifice for the Great Qin Empire.”
"The old general had five sons, four of whom died in the war, leaving General Wang Ben as the only one left.”
"I'm not a mean and ungrateful ruler, nor am I a mediocre ruler who is jealous of talent.”
"At the age of thirteen, he inherited the throne and carried out the wishes of his ancestors. He swept across the world and swept across the four seas.”
"As the first emperor who has never been seen before and will never be seen again, I don't need to kill my blood relatives to correct my name, nor do I need to kill my meritorious deeds to consolidate my position.”
"We will be loyal to Great Qin for all eternity and will have a good ending. Those who betray Great Qin will suffer."
Ying Zheng held Wang Jian's big hand, and spoke with emotion and reason, looking dignified and imposing.
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Your Majesty's magnanimity is shameful.”
"Your Majesty's ambition makes me feel ashamed.”
Wang Jian was both excited and ashamed in his heart. His face was filled with gratitude as he spoke with reddened eyes.
