The imperial capital of Qin State, Xianyang.
Ying Jiuxiao was resting with her eyes closed.
During the cold winter last year, Ying Jiuxiao's health was a little worse, but luckily she survived. After spring this year, my health is actually in good health. It's just that Ying Jiuxiao can feel that his body is getting weaker and weaker.
In the past few years, he has witnessed the prosperity of Qin.
However, his body is also failing.
After all, he is old. He is already over sixty, his hair and beard are all white, and he has lost his former strength. Especially when he was young, Ying Jiuxiao fought in the east and west, and personally led troops on the battlefield, leaving some illnesses on his body. Coupled with overwork and physical decline, it is now getting worse every year.
While Ying Jiuxiao was concentrating with his eyes narrowed, a young eunuch hurriedly entered, but was glared at by Wang Shun. The little eunuch looked stern, walked to Wang Shun, whispered something, and bowed respectfully.
Wang Shun still waited. After a long while, Ying Jiuxiao woke up and sighed: "We are getting old, and we can't accept aging. I think back then, even if I stayed up late to deal with government affairs, I would still be a hundred times more energetic. Now if I don't pay attention, Just took a nap.”
Wang Shun said: "Your Majesty is just overworked. In fact, your Majesty is still young."
"Old guy, you are telling lies with your eyes wide open."
Ying Jiuxiao shook his head and said: "A new generation replaces an old one. This is the reincarnation of heaven and cannot be changed. Now I am here to try to survive for two more years, hoping to see that the Qin Dynasty can truly unite the general trend. Qin seems to be strong, but in fact Neither Qi nor Jin are weak, and it is not easy for Qin to dominate the world."
Wang Shun said respectfully: "Your Majesty is at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he will definitely see the world unified."
"It's difficult, it's difficult."
Ying Jiuxiao smiled softly.
He is quite open-minded. Since ancient times, how can there be an emperor who has been prosperous for a long time? An emperor can live to be over sixty, which is considered a long life.
How many emperors died at the age of forty or fifty?
In Ying Jiuxiao's life, he has experienced too many hardships, encountered the decline of Qin, witnessed the rise of Qin, and personally carried out Qin's sweep of surrounding areas. Therefore, Ying Jiuxiao has no regrets in this life.
Wang Shun said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Heibingtai Yingsan wants to see you. But I just saw that Your Majesty was resting, so I suppressed it for the time being and did not report it."
Ying Jiuxiao ordered: "Pass Ying to the third court."
"Chuanying has three interviews."
Wang Shun ordered.
After a short time, Ying San entered, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, there is information from His Highness the Crown Prince, please read it."
Ying Jiuxiao took the letter and said with a smile: "The prince sent back a letter before, saying that the army guarded Dafengkou and won the first battle with the Qi army. Now it seems that this is even more progress. Otherwise, the prince would not send it. To repay the war."
Ying San echoed: "With the prince on the front line, Commander Bai, Duke Zhen, etc., we will definitely win."
Ying Jiuxiao nodded, opened the letter and browsed it. After reading the letter, he stood up quickly with a happy face and said loudly: "Okay, okay, this battle was well fought."
Ying Jiuxiao looked happy and excited.
Ying San said: "Your Majesty, has the battle on the frontline been initially won?"
"It's not a preliminary victory, but the war has ended. Our Qin army has won a complete victory."
Ying Jiuxiao was extremely happy and said: "In the battle at Dafengkou on the front line, our Qin army annihilated more than 70,000 Qi soldiers, captured more than 10,000 people, and captured Qi Emperor Tian He alive. In addition, Qi generals Yan Fei, Sun Youdao was all killed by us. In this battle, our Qin army won a complete victory."
After Ying San heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Capture Tianhe alive.
This is so shocking.
You must know that when two armies are fighting, it is extremely difficult to capture the enemy's emperor alive.
Ying San said: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. Our Qin army won this battle, and Qin's momentum has increased since then. Especially with Arita and He in hand, we can get more benefits from the next battle with Qi."
Ying Jiuxiao shook his head and said: "You are overly worried when you talk about fighting. After the prince discussed with Lin Feng, Bai Cejun and others at the front line, their plan was to use the Tianhe in their hands to defeat the enemy without fighting and force Qi to Cede Jizhou."
Ying San was surprised and said, "I'm afraid this will be difficult."
Ying Jiuxiao said, "Whether it is difficult or not is their business, I don't care. I only know that since the prince, Lin Feng, Bai Cejun and others have reached a unified opinion, they will start operating along the established goals."
"I don't care what they do, I only care about the final result."
"In addition, the prince said in his letter that a large number of officials are needed to prepare in advance to take over Jizhou."
"Their goal is to capture Jizhou."
"It's great to have such courage."
After Ying Jiuxiao elaborated, he directly ordered: "Come, summon Zhang Yi and Wang Tang to discuss the matter."
"Here!"
After receiving the order, the eunuch quickly went to inform him.
Not long after, Zhang Yi and Wang Tang entered hand in hand. They both saluted and stood below.
Ying Jiuxiao directly talked about the war situation on the front line and the final result before explaining Ying Yuqian's arrangements and said: "The front line needs a large number of officials to enrich Jizhou and completely control Jizhou. What do you two think?"
Zhang Yi was excited when he heard about the great victory. He said happily: "Your Majesty, our staff will make all the arrangements. This year's imperial examination has ended, and a large number of scholars have been selected. The top scholars are scheduled to go to Jizhou. Test their abilities. Of course, when it comes to the candidates for the governor of Jizhou and the governors of various counties, they must be selected from the local areas."
Ying Jiuxiao nodded and said: "Who do you think is the suitable candidate for the governor of Jizhou?"
Zhang Yi thought for a while and said slowly: "Reporting to your majesty, I believe that the candidate for the governor of Jizhou must have experience in fighting chaos, so I suggested that Zhou Daogui be arranged to take up the post. During his stay in Yanzhou, Zhou Daogui did well and made the transition of Yanzhou smooth. After Jizhou was captured, Zhou Daogui was skillful and able to stabilize the situation."
Ying Jiuxiao nodded and said: "Zhou Daogui is indeed good, so who will be the vacant candidate for the governor of Yanzhou?"
Zhang Yi was silent for another moment and elaborated: "I recommend Huan Suzhi to take over as the governor of Yanzhou. On the one hand, the situation in Yanzhou has been initially determined and needs further adjustment. Those who govern Yanzhou need to be familiar with the situation in Yanzhou and Huan Suzhi is suitable."
"On the other hand, Huan Suzhi served as the governor of Yingchuan County. Although his tenure was not long, Yingchuan has the best development in the entire Yanzhou, so it is appropriate for Huan Suzhi to go. Of course, I have a third one. thought."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "What are you thinking?"
Zhang Yi had a serious expression on his old face and said seriously: "After Qin Guodong came out, I have been opening up courses to recruit scholars and recruiting many scholars. To date, the results have been quite good, but the veteran believes that it is not enough."
"At present, supporting Huan Suzhi as the governor of Yanzhou will have a huge impact on the scholars of Jin and Qi."
"Take this opportunity to let the scholars of the two countries know that our Qin State is really recruiting talented people. This is the saying that a thousand gold pieces buy horse bones. Support the rise of Huan Su and let more people recognize the Qin State. I know that when I come to Qin, as long as I have the ability, I will be reused."
Wang Tang said with approval: "Your Majesty, I second your proposal."
Ying Jiuxiao pondered for a moment and then directly ordered: "Your analysis makes sense, so it's settled. The governor of Jizhou will be appointed according to Zhou Daogui, and the governor of Yanzhou will let Huan Suzhi take over. The local county magistrate can arrange for the imperial examination. So. , where is the local governor?"
Zhang Yi said seriously: "When it comes to governing the local governor, the officials need to carefully select them. It is difficult for me to make a decision for a while."
"I will give you one day to make a preliminary selection of candidates and submit the list."
Ying Jiuxiao said directly: "After you submit the list, I can review it and make arrangements. The situation on the front line waits for no one. Within two days, all personnel will be properly dispatched and arranged directly."
"Here!"
Zhang Yi and Wang Tang answered in unison.
Ying Jiuxiao waved his hand. After Zhang Yi and Wang Tang retreated, Ying Jiuxiao looked at Ying San and ordered: "Ying San, mobilize the people from Heibingtai to spread the news of Qin's great victory and bring the defeat of Qi to And inform the entire Qin people about the capture of Tian He."
"Here!"
Ying San also answered immediately, turned around and left.
Ying Jiuxiao sat in the main hall. After a while, hearty laughter echoed in the main hall.
