The First Emperor was speechless. He had never thought that he, the supreme being in the world, would one day take the blame for someone else…
Moreover, the identity of the owner of this black pot was taken by the First Emperor himself.
Therefore, he looked at Wang Jian and Wang Ben with a complicated expression.
On the other hand, Wang Ben, who had a big beard and looked like a brave and honest old Qin man, could not help but laugh in his heart!
Ever since the encounter with Ying Zhan, Wang Ben's identity had been 'borrowed' by the First Emperor.
Wang Ben, on the other hand, could only disguise himself as Wang Shi and pretend to be the deputy general's follower, while the Emperor pretended to be Wang Ben and talked to Yingzhan.
It was impossible for this famous general who had destroyed Wei and Qi to not feel aggrieved…
However, at this moment, Wang Ben was extremely happy!
Because he realized that there were great benefits to being impersonated by the First Emperor!
At least for now, the First Emperor, who had pretended to be Wang Ben, would be responsible for wiping out Daliang after Wang Ben flooded the place.
Wang Ben heaved a huge sigh of relief and rejoiced at this fact!
After all, Ying Zhan was extremely smart and had a lot of strategies, and his eloquence was enough to make Wang Ben afraid!
The first time he met Ying Zhan, Wang Ben was just trying to suck up to the First Emperor, but he was criticized by Ying Zhan as a sinner who had shaken Qin Fa.
On the day that Yingzhan was conferred the title of Marquis in Xianyang Palace, Wang Ben and Wang Jian witnessed the whole process of Yingzhan's verbal battle with the scholars, even though they were hiding in a corner.
From that moment on, Wang Ben warned himself not to offend the Marquis of Xianyang at any time, and it would be best if he didn't let Ying Zhan notice him!
He didn't want to offend Ying Zhan again and get scolded by this guy.
His father, the old general Wang Jian, reminded him of this point.
Therefore, Wang Jian and Wang Ben didn't say a word during this trip to find Yingzhan, as if they were invisible.
Even though he was also shocked by Ying Zhan's overt plan to save Wei, he didn't say anything in shock, lest Ying Zhan caught his sore spot…
Wang Ben knew that even though Yingzhan looked serious most of the time, he was a real pain in the ass when he was being sarcastic…
Therefore, Wang Ben felt lucky and pretended not to notice the First Emperor's expression.
Fortunately, the First Emperor was pretending to be him. He had to take the blame no matter what!
The only thing he had to do was to 'repay' the Marquis of Xianyang for winning the battle.
Wang Ben's old father, Wang Jian, was a cunning old fox. He had been resting with his eyes closed since the beginning, as if he was about to fall asleep…
In any case, even if they betrayed His Majesty now, His Majesty could not punish meritorious officials like them for such a small matter…
Seeing Wang Jian and Wang Ben's reaction, the First Emperor could only smile bitterly in his heart.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
When you come out to mingle, you have to pay back…
"Cough cough, what kind of repayment does the Marquis of Xianyang want?”
The First Emperor had no choice but to speak awkwardly as Wang Ben.
"Very simple. I only have three requests.
First, the plan to destroy the country that I mentioned, once implemented, will offend the world's powerhouses.
Therefore, the few county governors of the Land of Wei probably couldn't hold on and needed a powerful official to oversee the land of Wei.
One was to monitor those county governors to prevent them from slacking off and embezzling grain and gold.
The second was to be an arrow target to attract the hatred of those powerful people…
After all, the world's tyrants had been tricked once, and those grievances had to have a place to rest…
Therefore, Marquis Tong Wu has to promise me that if His Majesty thinks that I, the person who came up with the plan, can carry it out the best and wants to send me to the land of Wei, Marquis Tong Wu will help me persuade His Majesty to change his mind.
Moreover, after this matter is done, don't spread the word that I came up with this plan.”
Ying Zhan raised a finger and smiled at the First Emperor.
Yingzhan could come up with such a scam idea, but he would never bear the reputation of offending others!
Although he was not afraid of the hatred of the world's powerful people, he would not rush to find trouble for himself.
Those who are good at defending are hidden under the nine lands!
Those who are good at attacking can move the nine heavens!
A good reputation and credit, Yingzhan would not refuse. The credit of inciting public anger, Yingzhan would respectfully decline!
After hearing Ying Zhan's first request, the First Emperor's expression relaxed.
He was even a little happy!
As expected of the son of the First Emperor, his bones were filled with the skills of an emperor!
He would make decisions himself, let others do the things that drew hatred, and let himself hide behind the scenes!
This was the art of the Emperor.
Just like how Duke Xiao of Qin appointed Shang Yang to reform, after Shang Yang finished offending people, the Qin State reaped the benefits.
However, in order to ease the resentment of the old Qin family and unite the Qin country, after the death of Duke Xiao of Qin, King Huiwen of Qin continued to use Shang Yang's method to appease the old Qin family!
Of course, this was just an example. It did not mean that after making use of the meritorious officials, they had to kill the cunning rabbit and cook the lackey.
Ripping Shang Yang apart was only done in the era of King Huiwen, in order to quell the undercurrent of Qin country, he had no choice.
When the First Emperor unified the world, he had never killed a single meritorious minister, nor did he have such a plan!
Of course, if there was a rebellion in the future, that was an exception!
"This request is reasonable.
Moreover, the Marquis of Xianyang had to be rewarded for his contribution. His Majesty would probably secretly give him a generous reward.”
The First Emperor nodded.
Reward! He had to be rewarded!
His own treasures had to be secretly arranged for his son who had made great contributions!
At the same time, the First Emperor glanced at Wang Ben and said,""Since I have enjoyed the meritorious service of drowning Wei in Daliang, I should also bear the responsibility of dealing with the aftermath of the flood!
Therefore, I will take the initiative to ask His Majesty to personally go to the Land of Wei!
I'll do the offending, I'm not afraid!”
As soon as the First Emperor said that, Wang Ben was dumbfounded!
He had wanted to let the First Emperor take the blame for him, so he pretended not to see the First Emperor's gaze just now.
However, he didn't expect that His Majesty would be so vengeful, and would take the opportunity to kill Wang Ben…
He really wanted to say,"Of course you're not afraid, Your Majesty, because you're not Wang Ben, I'm the real Wang Ben…"
And I'm really afraid of offending people!
'I'm tired. Destroy it. I didn't expect that I would bear all the responsibility in the end…'
