After retiring from the dynasty, Ying Zheng came directly to the Pingtian Hall of the Imperial Study.

As soon as I sat down, before my butt was hot, I saw Zhao Zhong walking in all the way.

"Your Majesty, General Wang Jian asks to see you."

Zhao Zhong bowed his hand and said in a low voice.

"Biography."

Ying Zheng put down a piece of music he had just picked up and said without thinking.

"Yes."

Zhao Zhong immediately received the order, and then walked out again.

Soon, Wang Qian, who was in good spirits and had some white hair, walked in.

"The old minister greets Your Majesty."

Although Wang Jian had great achievements, he did not dare to hold it up in front of His Majesty, and he was still respectful and respectful.

"I don't know what urgent military affairs the old general has when he comes this time?"

Ying Zheng picked up the jade pot on the wooden table, then picked up two gold bottles, and after pouring them full, he looked at Wang Jian who was still in place, and then said, "Sit down and say." ”

Wang Jian didn't dare to hold on to the throne and sit at the same table with His Majesty, but bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Then he walked to the seat on the right and sat down cross-legged.

Zhao Zhong hurriedly took the gold bottle in His Majesty's hand, held it with both hands, and brought it to Wang Jian below.

Wang Jian straightened up, clasped his hands together, and bowed to Ying Zhengyao: "Thank you, Your Majesty, give the bottle." ”

Then he took the gold bottle, held it in both hands, and said again: "Respect Your Majesty." ”

After speaking, he drank all the wine in the golden bottle.

Ying Zheng smiled, then also picked up the gold bottle, raised his head and drank it all.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed two things for the minister to come this time, please ask Your Majesty for permission."

Seeing that Ying Zheng put down the gold bottle, his eyes looked at himself, and Wang Jian spoke.

"The old general has fought for the empire all his life, and his military exploits are brilliant.

Ying Zheng is arrogant and dry, and he is extremely refreshing.

"Your Majesty, Minister, bitter!"

Wang Jian suddenly burst into tears, with a handful of tears on his nose, and from time to time he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.

Forehead!

Ying Zheng was stunned, he was really a little surprised, he didn't expect Wang Jian to come out like this.

What kind of drama is this going to sing to yourself?

"Why did the old general say that?"

Ying Zheng was a little puzzled in his heart, and asked quietly.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, I will marry Princess Huayang into the royal family."

"But the Wang family has a big business, there are many people, and there are hundreds of slaves and maids carried by the princess, so the ministers are poor!"

"If it weren't for the fear of triggering the national law, the minister would have wanted to block the road and rob during this time."

Wang Jian was miserable and complained bitterly.

Well?

Yingzheng only then understood, this Wang Jian is an old mistake again, and he has come to knock himself on the bamboo pole.

I'm afraid of touching the law of the country, so I don't dare to block the road and rob, so this is a robbery?

Good guy, Ying Zheng is really a little crying and laughing.

Since the beginning of the conquest of the Six Kingdoms, this Wang Jian has sent people to ask for gold, silver, jewelry, and land industry from time to time.

In fact, he is not really greedy for money, Ying Zheng knows this.

I'm just worried that I will unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future!

In fact, the problem he is worried about is simply superfluous.

I am not so narrow-minded, and I will not cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Anyone who has made meritorious contributions to Daqin will be treated kindly.

But I know this kind of thing very well, even if I say it, if I want to win the trust of others, how easy is it?

Since Wang Jian felt that asking for money and property would create the illusion that he loved money and was not greedy for power, he was willing to cooperate with him, and fulfilled his wish.

100,000 households is not enough?

Gold, silver, jewelry, field industry, whatever you want, I will give you.

After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, Wang Jian was already a supreme minister and became famous all over the world.

But there is nothing to reward for yourself, and there is nothing to give.

However, meritorious people cannot be rewarded, how can they dominate the world?

Since the Shang Emperor changed the law, Daqin has had clear rewards and punishments, and won the world by re-believing in a promise.

Merit must be rewarded, transgression must be punished, words must be fruitful, and practice must be done.

So although he was reluctant in his heart, he finally gave the eldest princess Yuan Man to Wang Jian who was over the age of six.

For the prosperity and health of the world, for the eternal stability of the mountains and rivers of Daqin, for the common people to stay away from the smoke of war, not to mention sacrificing the happiness of their daughter, even anyone can sacrifice, including themselves.

There are many beauties in his harem, but which one is the woman he really loves?

All of them were of noble birth, either the daughters of princes or the daughters of powerful people.

Posture is not the most important thing, the love between men and women in marriage is just a political need for themselves.

This is the price to be paid for having supreme rights.

As a royal family, he has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and he has been living a life that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

People live for a lifetime, gain some, and always lose some, and enjoyment and responsibility are relatively equal.

Of course, you can also choose not to compromise with fate.

In doing so, there will be no problems with the empire in the short term.

But in the end, it will still face the political chain reaction of rebellion and separation, and the separation of monarchs and ministers.

Although the relationship between in-laws is not unbreakable, it is also the pivot that maintains the delicate balance between the monarch and the minister.

With this relationship, they will feel that their safety is more guaranteed, and the chance of taking risks will be greatly reduced.

Politics has always been the product of compromise, if a king does not even believe in his own courtiers, how can all the people of the world believe in him?

Without the love of the courtiers and his own staunch supporters, then the king is like a puppet that has been set up in the air.

Winning over a group, suppressing a group, supporting henchmen, and excluding dissidents are also compulsory courses for a king.

Therefore, where there is a king with aspirations, the courtiers can only be ranked second forever, and loyalty is the most important thing for the king.

If talent and loyalty coexist, such people often become the king's right-hand man, a close minister.

Li Si's allegiance has never been to Daqin, but to himself who has the grace of knowing him.

That's why for so many years, his position has been unshakable.

Wang Jian was an old minister of the Four Dynasties, starting from his great-grandfather, he was a general of Great Qin.

At that time, he was still very young and his reputation was not obvious, and under the light of Wu Anjun's white rise, how many people could compete with him in ancient and modern times?

"Zhao Zhong, pass on my will, reward Wucheng Marquis Wang Qian, 100 horses, 1000 gold and 100,000 yuan, 10,000 acres of fertile land, and 100,000 copper coins."

Ying Zheng was very happy and gave Wang Jian a large reward.

"Your Majesty's grace is mighty, and the Manchus of the Wang family will always remember it in their hearts."

Wang Jian was immediately grateful, and bowed his hand.

"Alright, are you polite to me?"

"When did you start to be hypocritical?"

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and didn't have a good air.

At this time, he didn't have half a frame on his body, he was completely in the posture of getting along with his family, and he spoke very casually.

"Hey, hey."

Wang Jian was a little embarrassed by what he said, and laughed dryly.

"Say it! What else? ”

Ying Zheng laughed out loud at first, and then asked.

"This, Your Majesty ......"

Wang Jian looked at Zhao Zhong in the main hall, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"The old man in Zhao Zhong's palace, don't worry!"

Yingzheng didn't have a good airway.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, the minister naturally believes in the eunuch's order, but what the minister said next, except for Your Majesty, it must not be passed into the ears of the second person, and please ask Your Majesty to know it."

Wang Jian said with a solemn face.

Ying Zheng saw Wang Qian's appearance, nodded, and then waved his hand at Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong immediately bowed his hand, then slowly withdrew from the Pingtian Hall and closed the door of the main hall.

After waiting for Zhao Zhong to leave, Ying Zheng said suspiciously: "Can you say it now?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is seriously ill."

Wang Jian sighed, his expression full of melancholy.

Well?

Wang Qian's body has always been very tough, and after looking carefully for a long time, Ying Zheng didn't see that Wang Jian was a little seriously ill.

"What disease do you have?"

Ying Zheng also showed a worried look, after all, Wang Jian is a tiger general of Great Qin, and he has followed him for many years, and the friendship between the monarch and the minister is thick, and he can't help but feel compassion.

"King Qi Xuan's illness."

Wang Jian twisted and pinched, but finally made up his mind and spoke.

"Poof......

Ying Zheng just drank the wine in his mouth before he could swallow it, so he couldn't help but squirt it out directly, and laughed silently: "The widow is sick? ”

Seeing His Majesty's unbridled laughter, Wang Jian's face was like black charcoal, and he knew that it would be like this.

It's better not to say it if I knew it, it's really a shame to be old......
