Ying Cheng spread out his fingers and counted. He was stunned.
He had loved martial arts since he was young and hated literature. He was an expert in military formations, but he did not remember the matters of the Zhou Dynasty clearly.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
From the looks of it, it was as if the master had asked a question and the disciple could not answer it, looking very disappointed.
"You!"
Ying Cheng was a great general and had made great contributions in destroying the six countries.
In the army, he was loved by the soldiers.
Now, he was actually being looked down upon by a brat. It was simply a great humiliation!
With his bad temper, he was about to scold her.
However, the moment he opened it, he thought of the lesson he had learned.
The Emperor was very biased towards this kid!
He snorted coldly and swallowed his words.
"Humph!"
Qin Xuan smiled. It was not good to force him to ask, lest he completely shed all pretense of cordiality.
After all, the other party was a relative of the Ying family. If they really wanted to fall out with each other, it was not something an outsider like him could afford to provoke.
"Li Xiangbang, you're a learned man, do you know?"”
" Godly Doctor," Li Si said proudly while stroking his beard," counting from King Wen of Zhou, there are 38 generations." If one were to count from the ranks of Martial Kings, it should be 37th generation.”
Qin Xuan narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile,"Are you sure? Did you calculate it correctly?"
Li Si's expression froze when he was questioned.
If it was someone else in the court who dared to question him, he would probably mock him back.
But this person…
He couldn't afford to offend her, he couldn't afford to offend her!
He calculated again and said with certainty," I'm sure. It's the 37th generation!"
Qin Xuan shook his head and raised a finger.""That's your algorithm."
Err…
Instantly, all the officials were stunned.
Starting from King Wen of Zhou, every generation of King Zhou was recorded in history.
What else could be counted if there were ancient books as evidence?
"Then, according to your calculation, what should we do?" The First Emperor asked with interest.”
"Your Majesty," Qin Xuan hurriedly replied,"according to my calculations, it won't be that long!"”
Hmm?
All the officials in the court were confused.
Especially those great Confucians, their eyes bulged.
Their understanding of ancient books was their forte.
Li Xiangbang's calculations were correct.
But why did that kid say that it wasn't that long?
Qin Xuan did not dare to keep the Emperor in suspense and immediately explained,""It's only the 33rd generation to King Qi Lie and Ji Wu.
At that time, Han, Zhao, and Wei divided the Jin Kingdom and became marquises. The world was divided into seven countries. The King of Zhou was helpless. Where was his country?。”
" According to the Godly Doctor's calculations, the Zhou Dynasty was already dead by then. There were indeed only 33 generations left." Li Si said in realization.”
"No, no, no!"
Qin Xuan waved his finger and smiled proudly."Back then, King You of Zhou toyed with the vassals with his beacon fire. The Quan Rong army attacked Haojing, and the city fell.
May I ask, Prime Minister, which generation is that?"
"The eleventh generation," Li Si said hesitantly.”
Pa ~!
"Correct answer!"
Qin Xuan snapped his fingers and said with a mocking gaze,"This is the result of becoming a marquis. Could it be that the Great Qin Empire only wanted to be passed down for 11 generations?”
Duang~！
instantly
Everyone's mind was buzzing.
The last sentence was heartbreaking.
Everyone lowered their heads and no one dared to answer.
The First Emperor's expression was normal, but he secretly praised in his heart,""Well said, it suits me well. As expected of my son!”
Ying Cheng's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
He was the one who proposed the enfeoffment.
The others could stay silent, but he couldn't!
Fortunately, he was a member of the Ying Imperial Clan. If it were anyone else, they would probably be charged with splitting up the Qin Country!
"Your Majesty, I'm only speaking according to the ancient times."”
Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows and simply let go.
"Can't the ancient system be changed? If not for Shang Yang's reform, would Great Qin have been able to unify the six states?”
Ying Cheng gritted his teeth and insisted,"Your Majesty, the matter of enfeoffment concerns Great Qin…"”
The First Emperor waved his hand and said,""You may leave."
"Um…"
Ying Kong lowered his head and winked at him.
The Emperor was clearly unhappy. If he continued to request for enfeoffment, he would probably provoke the Emperor into a rage!
"We can only put the matter of enfeoffment aside for now and find another opportunity.”
Ying Cheng sighed and retreated helplessly.
however
He glared at a certain someone without hiding his gaze.
Qin Xuan lowered his eyes and looked down. He did not respond and pretended not to see anything.
If he glared back, the conflict would intensify.
In front of the Imperial Clan's Great General, Ying Cheng, the title of a mere fifth doctor was no different from an ant.
in fact
Qin Xuan was also very helpless.
Once they argued, they would definitely offend the imperial clan.
How could he not understand this logic?
However, he knew the Emperor's intentions, so how could he be so foolish as to help a bunch of officials?
Since the Emperor had called out his name, he could only bite the bullet and go forward.
Even if he offended the imperial clan, he could only grit his teeth and fight back.
In Great Qin, he knew who was the ruler.
It was true that he could seek stability if he had both sides.
However, fence-sitters never had good results.
In the end, neither side was pleased.
Based on the experience of two thousand years of feudal dynasties, the emperor preferred lone officials who did not form cliques.
If you gain something, you lose it.
If he wanted to please the Emperor, he naturally had to make mistakes.
"Sigh, this wasn't what I wanted."
Qin Xuan shook his head helplessly. He was still unwilling to offend the imperial clan.
however
After seeing Zhao Gao standing at the side with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
He thought to himself, Look at how Lord Zhao has managed to get to where he is today. He even gave up his life!”
His depressed mood was suddenly lifted.
The First Emperor was in a good mood when he saw that the proposal to enfeoffment had been refuted.
He said,"Fifth Physician Qin Xuan!"”
Xia Wuqi hurriedly nudged a certain someone who was still in a daze.""His Majesty is calling for you!"
Qin Xuan came back to his senses and hurriedly went forward."This commoner is here!"
The First Emperor looked down and smiled." You've done a great job in treating the princess. I've already named you the Fifth Doctor. Don't call me a commoner anymore."”
"What?!"
" Fifth Doctor?!"
"Cured the princess 'illness?"
Immediately, discussions broke out below.
The news of the princess's illness had already spread when the notice was posted.
However, no one had been able to cure him, and there were quite a number of witch doctors who had been punished.
not expect
He was actually cured by a young kid?
Moreover, he even conferred the title of the fifth doctor?
That was a high-ranking noble!
The value of a title in the Qin Dynasty was very high, and many generals privately complained that Great Qin's military achievements were too harsh.
Why should he be given the title of Fifth Doctor just because he cured the princess?
However, the First Emperor's authority was even more powerful than before. Even if he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to question the reward.
However, many people's eyes were filled with jealousy.
"Qin Xuan, you said it well just now. I'll reward you with a thousand gold coins and a chest of treasures! In addition, other than me, you can not bow to anyone!”
" What?!"
All the officials were stunned.
