Cheng Huan's kneeling can basically not be counted as kneeling, it can be said that it is close to paralyzing.

The eyes of the ministers looking at Cheng Huan are also different, or angry, or pity, or sighing, or regretful.

"Wang ...... Brother ......" two lines of pure tears slipped down from the dirty face, remorse, sadness, helplessness, and all kinds of emotions also surged into Cheng Huan's heart.

"You still have the face to call the widow brother." Ying Zheng got up from the king's chair and came to Cheng Huan.

Cheng Huan didn't dare to look directly into Ying Zheng's eyes, still lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wang...... I was wrong...... Really wrong......"

Cheng Huan, who stood in this position with her head held high last time, asked for battle with high spirits, and confidently received the tiger talisman.

Now Cheng Huan, who is kneeling in this position, confesses her sins in embarrassment, and tears without faith.

"Humph!" Ying Zheng snorted coldly, "The widow trusts you so much that you let you lead 80,000 soldiers to attack the Wei State, but what about you! ”

The corners of Cheng Huan's mouth trembled twice, and her heart trembled for an unknown number of times.

"Thou hast listened to slander, thou hast not distinguished the truth from the false, thou hast created rumors, thou hast slandered the widow." Ying Zheng also seems to have been vented, "He actually rebelled!" ”

The feeling of guilt hit, and Cheng Huan's head pressed even lower.

"That Fan Yuzhi came to collude with Zhao and Wei, and the previous plan of 'tired Qin and Chu' was that he participated in the planning." Ying Zheng said angrily, "After urging you to take command, and then implementing a plan of discord, don't you notice it at all?" ”

Lü Buwei stepped forward and said, "The king is angry. Cheng Huan has followed Fan Yuzhi to practice martial arts since he was a child, and his trust in Fan Yuzhi must be very deep, so he fell into the trap of Fan Yuzhi. ”

Ying Zhengchang breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood calmed down a little: "That's it, the matter has come to this point, there is no point in talking about it, it's just a pity that those soldiers are 80,000 people." ”

mentioned those soldiers, Cheng Huan finally looked up at Yingzheng, tears welling up.

"Have you ever thought that because of you alone, these soldiers will either die on the battlefield or be punished, and their families may also be killed?" Ying Zheng said indignantly.

Cheng Chan's face was full of shame, calmed down, and said in a low voice: "Cheng Chan knows that he is guilty of inescapability, but I implore Brother Wang to take those sergeants lightly, and don't hurt the lives of those tens of thousands of sergeants because of Cheng Huan's own fault, which is tens of thousands of families." ”

Ying Zheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "When you raised an army to commit treason, why didn't you think about those tens of thousands of families. ”

Cheng Huan lowered her head again, speechless.

Ying Zheng paced two steps horizontally and said: "The struggle for power and profit between brothers is a common thing in the court, and the widow can read the love of brothers and not care. You are young and vigorous, and you are still inexperienced, and you have been deceived by villains to do stupid things, and the widow can forgive you, but ......"

Hearing Ying Zheng say that he could not care, Cheng Huan was like hearing the sound of the sky, but Ying Zheng gave a "but", which made Cheng Huan's heart sink to the bottom in an instant.

"But you have deceived the people with your lies and ruined the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, even if few people spare you, I am afraid that the people of the world may not spare you." Ying Zheng said, "What's more, do you remember what you promised the widow when you asked for war? ”

Cheng Huan's tears no longer flowed, and she seemed to have looked down on something, and said softly: "Brother Chen said that if you don't win Wei, I would like to come and see you." ”

"Have you won the Wei Kingdom?" Ying Zheng turned away, as if he didn't want to let people see his expression.

"Nope." Cheng Huan replied.

"What then?" Ying Zheng then asked.

"My brother is willing to die to atone for his sins." Cheng Huan has no emotional fluctuations.

"Your Majesty ......" Several voices sounded among the ministers, as if they wanted to intercede for Cheng Huan.

Ying Zheng raised a hand and signaled everyone not to ask for mercy.

"Someone." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Yes." A few guards next to Cheng Huan arched their hands in response.

"Put Cheng Huan into the prison and keep it under strict guard." Ying Zheng still hasn't turned around, "After the widow gets married, I'll make a decision." ”

The ministers looked at each other, but they didn't expect Ying Zheng's decision to be like this, Ying Zheng said it so decisively before, and the word "care" has a lot of meaning......

Cheng Huan still didn't have any expression, adjusted her kneeling posture, kowtowed, and said, "Brother Xie Wang." ”

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

The guards set up Cheng Huan and escorted him to the prison.

Ying Zheng slowly walked to the king's chair, eased his mind, and sat down.

The atmosphere in the hall was very dreary.

Lü Buwei stepped forward and broke the dullness of the main hall: "Your Majesty, what should those rebels do?" ”

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Those who wear red silk on their arms are obedient to orders, which is really helpless, but they can break the system and enrich the Wang Jian army and the Mengwu army." ”

"The king." The ministers said in unison.

"As for the rebels." Ying Zheng paused for a moment and said, "All the generals will be executed, and the rest of the soldiers will all go to repair the Zheng Guoqu, no reward, no remuneration, and when the canal is completed, they will be re-sentenced according to the contribution of the canal." ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to sit together?" Lü Buwei asked.

"Sit down, forget it." Ying Zheng said, "Only those generals who were executed were sat together, and ordered the three of them to go to Zheng Guoqu to repair the canal." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lü Buwei replied.

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and the others below and said, "Since there is a punishment, there must be a reward." Wang Qian, you will tell the widow in detail about the process of the war. ”

Wang Jian stepped forward, cleared his throat, and then began to speak.

How did Changping Jun use the plan, how to implement the plan, how did Wang Jian decide to fight quickly, and then arrange tactics, and how to defeat Cheng Chan's rebels head-on, Fan Yu and Cheng Chan fled in panic, and were exhausted by Ying Cheng's strategy to the guards, and finally tracked down and found Cheng Chan by the river.

With Wang Qian's narration, the atmosphere in the hall eased a lot.

Ying Zheng and everyone listened to it with taste, clapping their hands when they were happy, and sweating their palms when they were nervous.

Especially when Wang Jian said that he forced Cheng Chan and Fan Yu to the front of the battle with a round of arrow rain, and used the technique of attacking the heart to make Cheng Chan lose his fighting spirit, and all the soldiers surrendered without a fight, everyone applauded.

"Hahaha..."Lu Buwei said with a smile, "Soldier, treacherous." I didn't expect General Wang Jian to be a martial artist who would attack the heart, it's rare, it's rare. ”

Wang Jian smiled and arched his hand and said, "Lu Xiangbang smiled, he just wanted to minimize the loss of the generals." ”

"Hahaha..." There was laughter in the court, and the atmosphere finally became lively.

Then Yingcheng added to the process of setting up an ambush and becoming a thief.

In the end, Yingcheng raised two doubts.

One is that he did not give the order at that time, and someone shot and killed one of Zhao's guides, causing some delay in the pursuit. The second is why Fan Yuzhi can escape with Cheng Chan, but he threw Cheng Chan by the river.

The entire court knows the reason, only Ying Zheng and Li Si, but how can Ying Zheng tell it, not to mention, that person will not return to Qin for a few years.

"Fan Yuzhi is likely to be rescued by a master sent by Zhao Guo." Ying Zheng said, "At that time, the matter was urgent, and only one could be saved, so with Fan Yuzhi's cunning, he would inevitably throw it away." ”

"The king has a point." After Lu Buwei finished speaking, everyone also nodded in agreement.

"In any case, closely investigate Fan Yuzhi's whereabouts." Ying Zheng said, "But don't startle the snake." ”

Lü Buwei said: "The old minister has already arranged it, and once Fan Yuzhi settles down, he will immediately send the news back." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Also, you guys should tell me, who will be the first to take the lead in this counterinsurgency?" ”

Lü Buwei took the lead and said: "The old minister thinks that General Wang Jian commands properly and uses soldiers like a god, and he should be the first to take credit. ”

Wang Jian shirked and said: "Weichen just followed the plan, if you talk about the first merit, it must be Changping Jun." If there is no Changping Jun's plan, and he struggles to maneuver in the rebels, I am afraid that Weichen will not be so easy to defeat the rebels, and the losses will be much greater. ”

Changping Jun waved his hand: "Hey~ General Wang's words are serious, the old man is only a little close, or General Wang is a great contribution." ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to be humble to each other. ”

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si, Li Si never spoke, and kept standing there, as if watching the excitement.

"Li Si, you are a court lieutenant, what is arbitrary and just." Ying Zheng said, "Tell me how you should think of their merits." ”

Li Si took a step forward and arched his hand and said: "According to Weichen, everything has cause and effect, Changping Jun is the cause, and General Wang Jian is the result, the reason why everyone has different views is because of the different degrees of attention to cause and effect. ”

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and asked, "Then how can you convince everyone?" ”

Li Siwei smiled and said, "Which is more important than cause and effect, let's give an example." ”

"Captain, please." In the court, Yingzheng's title to Li Si has also changed.

"There is also cause and effect in the mutiny." Li Si said, "Fan Yu collaborated with the enemy for a certain chaos, and Cheng Huan listened to slander and raised troops to commit treason, right?" ”

Ying Zheng nodded, but secretly said in his heart: The old rules are here again.

"Yes." Many of the ministers said directly.

Li Si looked sideways at the ministers and said, "Then all the adults are going to talk about it, which one is more guilty than Cheng Huan and Fan Yuqi?" ”

"Of course it's Fan Yuzhi." Meng Tian didn't think about it, and said directly.

Then, all the ministers echoed.

"That's it, although the nature of the event is different, but the principle of cause and effect is the same, and there is no effect without cause, this is Wei Chen's view on the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds." Li Si turned to Yingzheng again.

There was a lot of discussion among the ministers, but it was clear that the opinions were unified.

Every time, Li Si seems to have some unique opinions, and this time, he did not face Yingzheng alone, but established his prestige in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

"Good!" Ying Zheng said, "Changping Jun made a plan and disintegrated the rebels' combat strength, so that our army returned with a great victory, and he should be the first to take the lead." ”

The ministers no longer objected, and Wang Jian was not dissatisfied.

"Proposed purpose, canonize Changping Jun as the right minister, and Lu Xiangbang to assist the government, give thousands of households, and reward ten thousand burdens." Ying Zheng said solemnly.

Lu Buwei looked shocked, he didn't expect Yingzheng to reward Changping Jun so much.

Changping Jun was also very surprised and knelt down to thank him, and his eyes inadvertently swept Lu Buwei.

Ying Zheng ignored everyone's astonishment and continued: "Canonize Wang Jian as a general, allow the expansion of private troops, and reward ten thousand burdens. Wang Ben and Ying Chengguan were promoted to two levels and rewarded with thousands of burdens. ”

Wang Jian and Yingcheng stepped forward to thank at the same time, and Wang Jian also knelt down for his son Wang Ben to thank and receive the reward.

Lü Buwei was still silent, obviously having accepted Yingzheng's decision.

The power struggle between Cheng Huan and Ying Zheng came to an end, and Ying Zheng not only lost nothing, but also shared a lot of power with Lü Buwei, and a new round of competition is about to begin.
