"I…"
Wang Ben rubbed his face awkwardly," I lied to His Majesty, I deserve to die…"
"Ah, it's fine."
Ying Zheng smiled and said," You tricked your father into coming all the way here. You were scared and scared all the way here, and you even risked your life in the imperial court. It's only right that he beat you up.”
"Your Majesty, what you said is…"
"Don't worry, I have my own preparations."
Ying Zheng smiled and said," I've already sent someone to draft an edict. When we return to Xianyang, we'll confer your son the title of Commandant. In the future, if he made any more contributions, he could be conferred a title!”
What was that?
Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Wang Ben's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly kowtowed to thank him." Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty's grace is boundless, and I have no way to repay it!"”
Great Qin had no king, and the nobility was the highest noble under the imperial power!
However!
Great Qin's nobility was not hereditary!
In other words, you can enjoy the title of nobility for the rest of your life. You can't pass it on to your children.
What a modern system…
Therefore, even though the Wang Clan had two marquises, they could not be passed down to their descendants.
If Wang Ben's son Wang Li didn't have any military background, he could only be a commoner.
The sons of nobles could only enjoy their wealth, but they could not inherit their status. This was a unique characteristic of Great Qin.
Of course, it was not uncommon for the descendants of powerful people to obtain official titles. However, those who were not capable would be quickly eliminated.
In Great Qin, where military merits were the only criteria for nobles, Great Qin's government did not nurture trash!
This was much more meaningful than any dynasty in the future.
In order to raise the useless people protected by the hereditary system, the many dynasties in the future had spent a terrifying amount of national resources and the people's wealth.
Even the country was going to be emptied out to help raise trash who only knew how to eat, drink, and play. Moreover, it was a large group of trash. How could the country not fall into decline?
As such, Great Qin was the best in this aspect among all the Dynasties!
Wang Jian was a marquis, and his son, Wang Ben, was also a marquis. Both of them had earned their titles through their battles!
However, the son of Wang Jian's son, Wang Ben's son, Wang Li, did not have any military merits!
After the two of them passed away, Wang Li Ruo would have no merit or talent, and would only be a commoner!
Now that Qin Shi Huang had made Wang Li a lieutenant, if he had any more military merits in the future, he could be made a marquis!
Three Marquises and three generations of Marquises-this was something that had never happened before in Great Qin.
How could Wang Ben not be excited by such an honor and fortune?
"Alright, get up."
Ying Zheng smiled and said," Go and teach Wang Li a lesson later. If he didn't have this talent, how could he have achieved military merits?”
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Wang Ben thought to himself, Teach my son?
He probably couldn't teach it himself. This matter had to be taught by his father.
After all, Wang Ben wouldn't have been able to enjoy the wealth he had today if not for Wang Jian's teachings.
"Go and prepare…"
Ying Zheng said," It's been quite a while since I last went to see Mister Jiang Yue.”
"Yes."
Wang Ben nodded and asked," Your Majesty, since we're about to leave this place, should we tell Mr. Jiang Yue about Your Majesty's identity?"”
"This…"
Ying Zheng thought for a moment." Telling me now is the worst plan. If he knew my identity, I'm afraid I would know a lot less…"
If Jiang Yue had known Ying Zheng's true identity from the very beginning, she would never have told him about some things!
Moreover, Jiang Yue gave Ying Zheng the feeling that she was a true friend.
Other than Jiang Yue, all the civil and military officials in the court had a relationship with him.
Xiao could talk about the interests of the country, but he couldn't talk about it!
"If we don't tell him, won't he leave with us?”
"That's true."
Ying Zheng nodded and said," Xianyang is very far from Julu. We can't always travel so far to visit him.”
"Your Majesty…"
Wang Ben hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Ying Zheng said," If you have an idea, just say it.”
"Your Majesty, I don't have any ideas, but…"
Wang Ben stammered," But, my father is here, how about…"
Wang Jian?
That's right!
Wang Jian's brain was definitely enough.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately said," You're thinking fast. Go and call Old General Wang over."”
"Yes!"
Very soon, Wang Jian was called to Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng told Wang Jian about his concerns.
Although Wang Jian was sly and sly, he had no second thoughts towards Ying Zheng.
After he heard this, he stroked his white beard and chuckled." This matter is difficult to say, but it's also easy to say.”
"Please enlighten me, Old General."
Ying Zheng said," I wanted to wait a few months before telling him my true identity, thinking that perhaps I would gain something different…but I had no other choice. If the old general has a good plan, please let me know.”
"His Majesty said that he made something called paper, which is better than bamboo slips.”
Wang Jian smiled and said," Moreover, he also wants to see the face of the heavens. Therefore, if such a person could do business in Xianyang, would he be tempted?”
Going to Xianyang to do business?
Right!
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up!
If Jiang Yue was given a chance to go to Xianyang to do business, he would definitely go, right?
"Old General is indeed smart!"
Ying Zheng smiled and said," I understand! Alright, Wang Ben, go get ready, we're going to pay Mr. Jiang Yue a visit!”
"Yes!"
"Then this old minister will also take his leave!"
"Mhm, Old General, go ahead."
"Yes."
After leaving the main hall, Wang Jian found an opportunity to pull Wang Ben aside. *
