The imperial capital of Qin State, Xianyang.
Today's Xianyang City is filled with a peaceful and festive atmosphere.
The reason is very simple. After the Jin State was destroyed, the Qin State led its army northward and further towards the Qi State, intending to destroy the Qi State in one go.
Once Qi is destroyed, the world will be unified.
For Qin, this was an unprecedented feat, and countless people were eagerly looking forward to it.
In fact, the same goes for the officials of Qin State. The Qin State has a vast territory, a vast territory, and is unprecedentedly powerful. There are also benefits to being an official.
As for the emperor Ying Yuqian, the same is true.
Ying Yuqian's achievements have surpassed those of the kings of all dynasties. Because the state of Qin is in his hands, it is unprecedentedly tyrannical. Even though Ying Yuqian ruled by inaction after taking office and continued the policies of the previous generation, the merits were established in his hands, and this is his credit.
In the main hall, Ying Yuqian was still handling government affairs, working conscientiously and not slacking off at all.
Ying Yuqian is good at something, he can persevere.
He has his own principles in doing things.
Ying Yuqian knows very well that diligence is better than playfulness. Once you relax, all your efforts will be in vain. Once you relax and start to indulge in pleasure, you will gradually become immersed in it and find it difficult to extricate yourself and never change.
The decline of the Xia State and the destruction of the Jin State were all lessons learned from the past and made Ying Yuqian wary.
The most important point is that Ying Yuqian suffered a lot when he was young and could endure loneliness, which created his tough character.
So now, even if he becomes the emperor and has supreme power, he has not changed at all.
While Ying Yuqian was handling government affairs, a rush of footsteps came in.
Wang Shunfei also entered, looking delighted, and said loudly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. I congratulate Your Majesty and congratulate the Great Qin."
Ying Yuqian was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, he stood up directly, stared at Wang Shun, his eyes were burning, and he asked expectantly: "Has the attack on Qi achieved any results?"
Wang Shun said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, has just received news from Duke Zhen Guo that Duke Zhen Guo has arrived in Linzi City. The Emperor of Qi surrendered with all his civil and military officials and accepted Qi's submission."
"Next, both the Jin clan and the Qi clan will be sent to Xianyang for resettlement."
"The State of Qi fell, and the Duke of Zhen began to govern the local area and adjust the local structure. At the same time, he asked Your Majesty to arrange for officials to go to the State of Qi to enrich the local area."
Wang Shun quickly reported the news.
With a smile on his face, he was happy for Qin from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Ying Yuqian said three good words in succession.
The majestic face was filled with ecstasy. Even though he always suppressed his emotions and kept his joy and anger invisible, this time, when the news of the destruction of Qi came, Ying Yuqian couldn't help but be happy.
The Qin Dynasty has been unified since then.
The world will be united from now on.
Ying Yuqian paced back and forth, and after thinking for a while, he ordered: "Wang Shun, notify the ministers of all the ministries in the court and the chief officials of each ministry to come and discuss the matter."
"Old slave obeys the order!"
Wang Shun hurriedly walked out.
But just as Wang Shun arrived at the entrance of the hall, Ying Yuqian's voice came again: "Wait a minute."
Wang Shun stopped and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"
Ying Yuqian ordered: "Send an order to Heibingtai, issue an edict to the world, and inform all the people of Qin that Duke Zhen will destroy Qi. I, the Qin Dynasty, will unify the world."
"Here!"
Wang Shun answered again.
He hurried to make arrangements. In a short time, Zhang Yi, Wang Tang, Yue Xin and other ministers and officials from the imperial court all entered the hall.
Everyone looked excited and very excited.
Qin won!
The Qin State was unprecedentedly powerful, and every official was excited about it. Not only is it as simple as Qin's victory, but also their power will expand as Qin expands, which is what countless people are looking forward to.
After Ying Yuqian and other officials met with him, he said directly: "This time the Qi State was destroyed. The Duke of Zhen stayed in Linzi to preside over the war to clean up the Qi State. It won't take long to completely stabilize the Qi State. If we win this battle, The duke has made great contributions to the country, how do you think he should be rewarded?"
At this moment, the officials started talking.
How does Lin Feng reward him?
In Qin State, Lin Feng was not very old, less than thirty years old. But now, Lin Feng has made great achievements and reformed the Qin State. It was Lin Feng who took the lead. The imperial examination was also founded by Lin Feng, who is now a scholar leader.
As for attacking the city and destroying the country, and wiping out the Jin and Qi countries, Lin Feng was almost in charge of the overall situation.
This kind of Lin Feng is both civil and military.
The key point is that Lin Feng has another identity. He is the consort of the Qin State. How can he be rewarded at this stage?
Xu Yifu, the prince of the country, was the first to stand up and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Duke of Zhenguo has made great contributions and deserves to be crowned king."
Wow! !
All the officials were in an uproar.
In the history of Qin, no one with a different surname has ever been granted the title of king. Once Lin Feng is granted the title of king, it will set a precedent. This will even make Lin Feng's power greater than ever before.
After Zhang Yi heard this, a flash of light flashed across his eyes. He frowned and glanced at Yue Xin, the imperial censor.
After understanding this, Yue Xin stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I object."
Ying Yuqian asked: "What's the reason?"
Yue Xin replied: "There has never been a precedent for the monarchs of the Qin State to confer a king with a different surname. The merits of Duke Zhen Guo are well known to everyone and everyone admires them. But the status of Duke Zhen Guo is different. After all, he is a minister. It is not appropriate to break the precedent and appoint a king for the sake of a subject."
"Yue Xin, your words are ridiculous."
Xu Yifu once argued with Lin Feng, but he admired Lin Feng from the bottom of his heart.
Without Lin Feng, there would be no Qin.
This is not controversial.
Xu Yifu held his head high and said loudly: "Did the Qin State do many extraordinary things in these years? The Qin State held imperial examinations and recruited scholars. Are there any kings in the past dynasties? The Qin State divided people into acres and reforms, and the Qin State's kings in the past dynasties Do you have it? Qin State reformed commercial taxes, did all the kings of Qin State have it?"
"Don't be conservative, treat it as a gold medal command arrow, treat it as a sword of superiority."
"That's no excuse."
"Actually, sticking to the old rules is just some people who don't want to see others for their own benefit?"
“As long as it’s appropriate and reasonable, we can push forward and make arrangements.”
Xu Yifu glanced at Yue Xin and Zhang Yi.
The implication is self-explanatory.
Xu Yifu solemnly said: "Your Majesty, Duke Zhen Guo defeated Liu Yuan and received no reward. At that time, he said that unified arrangements would be made after the Jin was destroyed. However, Duke Zhen Guo led his army to destroy Jin and received no reward. This matter can be said Wait until Qi is destroyed."
"Now that Qi has been destroyed, and the emperor of Qi has surrendered, how long will it take?"
"It deserves a commendation, so of course it deserves a commendation."
"How can you keep putting it off?"
"Such an approach cannot convince the people of the world, nor can it stop Youyou's mouth."
"Please, Your Majesty, please give me a clear understanding."
Xu Yifu's words were resounding.
He made a direct statement.
The situation in the imperial court was already very clear, and Lin Feng must be the force carrying the flag. So Xu Yifu now decisively chose to side with Lin Feng. As for Zhang Yi who wanted to become an independent system, Xu Yifu didn't take it seriously.
In the past, when the Holy Ancestor Emperor Ying Jiuxiao was still there, would Zhang Yi dare to prick the bubbling air?
Don't dare at all.
Zhang Yi has always been cautious. At that time, Lin Feng was vigorous and diligent, and he continued to reform the Qin State. Now that there was a new emperor, Zhang Yi, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the head of the hundred officials, began to stand on his own and gather some officials, which Xu Yifu looked down upon.
If you have the ability, you were stronger in the early years, and now you have become stronger. In essence, you think the emperor is easy to bully.
Especially since Zhang Yi is old, it is impossible to compare with Lin Feng.
"Your Majesty, I agree with Xu offering wine."
Wang Tang stood up and expressed his unequivocal support for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng should be granted the title of king.
This is what Lin Feng deserves.
If there is no reward, then the real rewards and punishments are unclear. Otherwise, how can we convince the soldiers and the people in the army?
Zhang Yi frowned when he saw this.
If he didn't come out to express his position, the people on his side would be dispersed, so Zhang Yi still stood up and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, once the precedent of the title of king is set, and there will be more people in the future who can grant the title of king, there will be more The king is granted the title of king. This case cannot be made, your majesty, please think twice."
"Your Majesty, please think again."
Yue Xin and the rest of the people expressed their support for Zhang Yi.
Both sides hold their own positions.
No one took the initiative to give in.
Ying Yuqian saw all this and smiled in his heart. For an emperor like Ying Jiuxiao, the officials below are the most terrifying if they are of the same mind. Before Ying Jiuxiao died of illness, he had talked a lot with Ying Yuqian, and emphasized that there needed to be opposition, conflict and contradiction in the court.
When Ying Yuqian can't do it and is arbitrary, conflicts and confrontations are good as long as they are within control.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish. This is the same principle. We cannot pursue extremes.
Ying Yuqian's heart was like a mirror, and he said slowly: "Since there can't be any debate about Lin Feng's award, I will make my own decision. Especially regarding Lin Feng's award, I had an explanation before my father died of illness."
"My father said that if Lin Feng can help Qin to destroy all other countries and unify the world, he can be crowned king."
"This is my father's arrangement."
Ying Yuqian flicked his sleeves and said: "So there is no need to argue about this matter anymore. I have made Lin Feng the King of Yong'an, in charge of the Ministry of War, and the Crown Prince and Tutor."
boom! !
In the main hall, everyone was even more shocked.
King Yongan!
The Prince and Tutor!
These two identities are extraordinary and have great energy. What's more, Lin Feng also controls the Ministry of War and has real power. Lin Feng is the only one in the court.
Zhang Yi looked bitter.
The emperor really trusted Lin Feng and gave him a heavy reward. The key point is that the emperor is extremely powerful. He did not directly make him the king. Instead, he made a will for Ying Jiuxiao, which cannot be refuted.
Are you refuting the dead Holy Ancestor Emperor?
However, the officials present were all promoted by Ying Jiuxiao, and no one dared to refute.
Zhang Yi sighed in his heart, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Wang Tang, Yue Xin, Xu Yifu and other officials all shouted loudly.
When Ying Yuqian saw that everyone agreed, his smile stretched wide and he nodded and said: "Since there is no objection, let's pass on the decree. In addition, Qi State still needs people to sit in charge. Lin Feng will sit outside for the time being and be responsible for local stability."
Everyone agreed.
The imperial court has decided to award Lin Feng, and the next step will be to reward based on merit, and be prepared to reward all those who participated in the war.
This is a big system and requires enough time to discuss.
