The capital of Qin, Xianyang.

In the main hall of the palace, Prince Qin Chu frowned, did not say a word, sat on the desk in the middle of the hall, flipped through the books back and forth in his hands, and fell into the eyes of Lu Buwei and the others with a restless look.

Zichu was a hostage in Zhao State in his early years, and he naturally hated Zhao State in every way.

The woman and son he loved the most are still hostages in Zhao State.

I haven't heard from him for more than ten years, and if he takes the seventeen cities of the party in this battle, it will not only open the door for Qin to advance eastward, but also use it as a threat to force Zhao to send Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng back to Qin.

"The widow hasn't seen his mother and son for almost ten years." Zi Chu thought about it and let out a long sigh.

Before the war, the Empress Dowager Huayang found herself several times, and between her words, she hinted several times that she intended to establish Cheng Jiao as the crown prince.

As everyone knows, Zichu was not born to Mrs. Huayang, but with the help of Yangquanjun and Lü Buwei, Zichu became the adopted son of the Empress Dowager Huayang.

Back then, Huayang Jun had many wives and concubines, but the most favored Mrs. Huayang had no children.

His younger brother Yang Quanjun said: "Mrs. has no children, who can support her in the future, I have heard that I am a strange person and a wise person, so it is better to adopt it as an adopted son!" ”

After Mrs. Huayang was moved, she accepted Yiren as her son according to Yangquanjun's wishes.

When Zichu ascended the throne, Mrs. Huayang became the current Empress Dowager of Huayang.

However, when Zichu was the prince, it was good to say, a mother and a son.

Now that Zichu has become the king of Qin, he is alone in this harem, and he has no fear.

So many things can be done directly by ordering Zichu.

Between the two, Zichu knew that when he established his biological mother Xia Ji as the queen mother, the relationship between the two was not as good as before.

Zi Chu's concubine Pheasant Infant was the maid of the Empress Dowager Huayang before, although she was a concubine, she was actually an eyeliner, Zi Chu An could not know that Cheng Jiao was the son of the two of them.

Later, Lü Buwei and other ministers prevaricated on the grounds that Gongzi Jiao was still young and the king was still in the prime of life, otherwise he would not dare to refuse openly with Mrs. Huayang's kindness to Zichu.

Thinking of this, Zichu's heart was full of pain, in the eyes of Mrs. Huayang, Zhao Ji and Zheng'er were abandoned sons, and they didn't have to care about their life or death.

"There is still no news about the war on the front line, and it is difficult for the widow to sleep." Zichu looked at Lu Buwei and the others.

Lü Buwei stepped forward and said: "Our army has been attacking for a long time, and the Zhao army will be negligent, with General Wang's skills, he will definitely help the king to conquer the city, and please wait for the king, don't worry." ”

Zichu nodded helplessly.

At this moment, an eager voice came from outside the Xianyang Palace.

"King, report on the front-line war!"

"General Wang Ji is traveling in the starry night, hurry up and report urgently, and ask the king to take a look!"

……

Naturally, it immediately alarmed Zi Chu, Lu Buwei, Meng Fu, Lu Gong and others.

"What, hurry up, hurry up, Wang Di's battle report, give it to the widow." Zi Chu stood up with a sigh of surprise, stepped forward quickly, and wanted to take it with his own hands.

After a month of missing news, it suddenly appeared at this moment, and Lu Buwei and the others were also a little surprised and trembling in their hearts, and they were afraid that something bad would happen.

Zi Chu unfolded quickly, his expression firmly fixed on it.

You must know that the general summons brief, there are civilian officials in the army to write on their behalf, and this battle report is actually written by Wang Di himself, which must be of great importance!

Zi Chu's gaze looked at the book tightly.

Because Lu Buwei and the others couldn't trespass, they could only stand quietly and guess the content by looking at Zichu's expression.

Zi Chu just started, with a nervous look, Lu Buwei and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, and their whole bodies tightened, he was the best at observing words and expressions.

Immediately, I saw Zi Chu's eyes wide, and he muttered to himself: "Thirty miles of fire, the entire Zhao army is annihilated!" ”

Lü Buwei was shocked: "The Zhao army is completely annihilated!? ”

Zichu continued to look at the battle report. "The straw man borrowed arrows, a hundred miles of dense fog, and captured Sima Jie alive, okay, good!! I, Daqin, actually have such a character, a widow...... The widow is worthy of the kings of the Great Qin Dynasty, great, our army has won a great victory. This person, this person, and the widow will be rewarded heavily, and greatly rewarded. ”

Zichu's face was ruddy and emotional, which immediately relieved Lu Buwei and the others.

Lu Buwei said: "King, but the front line is a big victory? ”

Zi Chu was in high spirits at the moment, and the haze of many days was swept away, and he pointed to the battle report with his finger: "Wait for yourself, Su Zheng, my Daqin actually still has a genius who has passed through the heavens and latitudes, Wang Yi said, this great victory is because of this person's insight into the heavens, and the fog confuses the Zhao army, thus defeating the Zhao army!" ”

Lü Buwei and the others were already impatient to wait, and quickly picked up the battle report.

The more I look at it, the more frightened I become, if it weren't for the fact that this is Wang Yi's own book, it is really hard to believe.

"The talent of the heavens and latitudes, this person actually has the same skills as Sun Bin!" Meng Fu sighed.

"The surprise attack of Lushui, all because of this person, was able to avoid the crisis of the Zhao army hitting our army hard, and the big city was fastened, and its insight into the heavens and the earth was dedicated.

Lu Buwei and Meng Fu glanced at each other, their faces full of incredulity.

Gong Yu was also shocked by what Wang Di said at this moment, which was unbelievable.

During the period of King Zhuangxiang, there were only three veterans in the court: Meng Fu, Gong Xu, and Wang Di.

With the succession of Qin Wangzheng, Meng Tian, Meng Wu, Wang Qian, Wang Ben, Nei Shi Teng, Wei Yi and so on emerged one by one.

Seeing that his son Chu Jun was overjoyed, Lü Buwei said: "Congratulations to the king, for the great Qin to open up the territory and expand the territory again, the king's prestige will surely resound throughout the six countries." ”

"Congratulations to the King!"

"The king is mighty!"

……

Seeing the situation of the courtiers, Zichu felt that since he was in power, the happiest thing was at this moment.

"Prime Minister, how to reward such a great achievement, how should such a great talent be rewarded for breaking the enemy in the city and passing through the heavens and latitudes, so as to express the value of the widow?"

After pondering for a moment, Lü Buwei said: "Since the Shang Dynasty, my Great Qin has used military merits to control the army, and the prime minister believes that the military knights can be rewarded according to the Qin system, and in terms of official positions, they can wait for them to return to Xianyang and be rewarded as appropriate." ”

Lu Buwei's words suddenly made Zichu a little angry.

Meng Fu and Xue Gong, who were both born in the army, also frowned a little.

Lü Buwei's words are clearly rewarding, but in fact he is doing things according to things.

Sounds good, but the problem is whether Su Zheng's title at this time is even lower.

Qin's military merits, not to change the following according to the left ear as a basis, the promotion of military merit as a system, one person and one knight, once it is not changed, it is according to the killing of the army to determine the knight.

It's not just about heads.

Lü Buwei said this, as an old minister in the court, he naturally understood what he meant, to put it bluntly, Lü Buwei's words were businessman's thinking.

Zi Chu said: "The prime minister doesn't agree with this statement, the wizard should be treated as a different person, if according to the prime minister's words, then why do the scholars of the six countries have to enter Qin now, naturally my Qin State gave them the opportunity to display their talents, just like this Su Tribulation, they showed their talents on the battlefield, if they do things according to things, I don't know how to be flexible, what does my Qin State mean to recruit talents?" ’

Lü Buwei, Gong Xu, Meng Fu and others all looked sideways at Zichu's words, and this king rarely refuted with Lü Buwei.

Now he actually said a reason for a Su Tribulation.

Lü Buwei was speechless and said: "King, although Su Zheng has talents, but the roster says that his age is just and double ten, although his strategy is first-class, but how to command the troops, General Wang Yu did not mention it, presumably because of his young experience, General Wang intends to keep him in the army to polish one or two." ”

"Therefore, the old minister advised, if the king reads that he has merit, he can be promoted to the rank of official doctor as appropriate, but the official position in the army still needs to be considered, what does the king think?"

The official doctor, the sixth-level knighthood, can usually serve as five hundred lords in the army, or even two or five hundred lords.

Lu Buwei's words suddenly poured a basin of cold water on Zi Chu's heart, what did Lu Buwei mean, Zi Chu knew very well in his heart, but at this moment, Lu Buwei's words were indeed not unreasonable, as the prime minister he relied on, Zi Chu didn't want to be too harsh.

Zi Chu thought for a while, and then turned his gaze to Gong Xu: "What does the general mean!" ’

He Mengfu, the Duke of Xuan, was born in the army, and naturally had very different ideas from Lu Buwei, who was born as a merchant.

Gong thought for a moment, then stepped forward and asked: "King, the reason why the Qin State is strong is because of the full use of talents, the reason why the scholars of the six countries have come one after another, is also to see the Qin State's use of talents, back then, Lin Xiangru was just a guest of Chang Xian, not as good as today's Su Tribulation, after the meeting of Michi, made a great contribution, and then made the Yan State, seize the city and Zhao Land, and now Su Tribulation is similar, the King of Zhao worships him as Shangqing, that is, it is a false appearance, if the king is not rewarded, wouldn't it tell the world that the king is not as good as the King of Zhao?" ”

Gong Gong said that Zi Chu was suddenly shocked, not as good as King Zhao, this is absolutely impossible.

Seeing Zi Chu's reaction, Gong Xue continued: "Su Tribulation Wizard, if King Zhao knows, send an envoy to inquire, may a city be exchanged for Su Tribulation, will the king agree?" ”

"Huh? ......" Lu Buwei was shocked and couldn't help but look over.

Zi Chu didn't know why, and said: "Naturally, don't change!" ”

"Then if Zhao Guo exchanged the land of ten cities for Su Zheng."

Zi Chu frowned, and said, "Daqin's own talents are not enough, how can a widow do such a thing." ”

Gong Yu continued: "Then if one hundred cities are exchanged for one Su robbery, the king will be exchanged for no!" ”

"This ...... This...... What do you mean! "Zi Chu, Lu Buwei and the others were surprised by Gong Xu's words.

Zi Chu hesitated for a while, his face was straight, and he said: "There is no need to be tempted, this kind of talent through heaven and earth is a gift of 100 cities and 10,000 gold, and the widow is not exchanged, there is a Su robbery, he can lay down hundreds of cities for the widow, and he can even sweep the six countries in the future, and the widow can not know!" ”

Gong Yu smiled and said: "Since the king of Baicheng and ten thousand gold will not exchange for Su Zheng this person, then why should he be stingy with rewards?" ”

Lu Buwei said in his heart: "Okay, you are a wolf, you don't see you talking much on weekdays, now you have a backstab!" ”

Gong Fu's words made Zi Chu's eyes brighten: "Gong Gong really wakes up the widow!" ”
