On December 18, Qin Wangzheng, who had just returned from Yongcheng for less than two months, once again led the clan and ministers to the Qi Nian Palace in Yongcheng.

It's just that this time Yingzheng's purpose in going to the Qi Nian Palace was not to crown, but to worship the ancestors.

This is the tradition of the Qin State, before the king of a country personally goes to war, he not only has to worship the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers, worship the five emperors who are regarded as beliefs by the Qin people, and finally worship the ancestors and pray for blessings.

As a vassal state, the ritual vessels of the Qin State are naturally seven tripods and six guis, and the guibi coins and silks, grains and six animals are naturally the same, not to mention the Qin State, which has always been frugal and abstains from luxury, even if it is placed in the Qi State of the world, which is a wealth of the world, this is also an extremely luxurious sacrifice.

In fact, Ying Zheng does not believe in ghosts and gods, but he understands that the more luxurious the sacrifice, the more inspiring it can be.

The people are ignorant and believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and the army is naturally inevitable.

But enlightening the people is not what should be done now, and convincing the people and soldiers that the Qin State can win is the most important thing.

After the worship, Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang and personally summoned Wang Qian.

Originally, Ying Zheng planned to let this old general who was hidden in the sheath go to Hangu Pass to make a name for himself, but after thinking about it again and again, Ying Zheng really couldn't think of who would be able to rest assured that the defense of the Inner History would be handed over.

After all, the people who stayed in Xianyang faced at least Pang Xuan among the opponents.

Although Pang Xuan has never had the experience of leading a large army to fight, the old general who can think out of his inherent thinking and think of another way to attack the Qin State always has a unique ability.

What's more, two years ago, Yan Guo sent famous generals to be as famous as Guo Kui, Le Yi, and Zou Yan in the past, and even discussed with Le Yi the famous general Ju Xin to attack Zhao State, this seventy-year-old famous general had few defeats in his life, but he was captured and killed by Pang Xuan, an old friend under the command of King Zhao Wuling in the past, and beheaded 20,000 Yan troops.

Such a record is enough to prove to the world that he who has never officially led the army is not a pseudo-famous general like Ma Fuzi Zhao Kuo, who can only talk on paper, but a genius general like Ma Fujun Zhao Hao, but he is a late bloomer, and he didn't get the opportunity to stand out to the world until he was in his eighties.

Therefore, Yingzheng, who originally planned to appoint Xin Sheng as a lieutenant to sit in Xianyang and transfer Wang Jian to the army as a deputy general, hesitated.

Xin Sheng is the eldest son of the Xin family in Heyang, and he is a famous general born in Lao Qin, and his loyalty is undoubted.

Moreover, Xin Sheng's art of war strategy was inherited from the Sima family of Shaoliang, that is, the family of Sima Cuo who expanded Bashu in the west, took Qianzhong in the south, and captured the sixty-first city of Wei.

Sima mistakenly followed the path of military power and strategy.

Soldiers and strategists, defend the country with integrity, use soldiers with odds, plan first and then fight, and the situation, including yin and yang, and those who use skills.

Sima Cuo was cautious in his use of troops all his life, but he often had whimsical ideas, so his style of using troops was to plan and then act, and he never limited his strategy to the battlefield.

Originally, the Shaoliang Sima family was also a veteran nobleman of the Qin State, although he was weakened by the Shang Dynasty reform, but he made a fortune with military exploits, but he didn't think of Sima Jin, the second grandson of Sima Cuo, because Sima Jin was the deputy general of Wu Anjun Bai Qi, who fought with Bai Qi in the south and north all the year round, and was "given to death" Du You together with Bai Qi.

Therefore, the Shaoliang Sima family is also silent like the Yiyi Bai family, and it is with the support of the Heyang Xin family, a family that has been friends and married for generations, that it has not completely declined.

In addition, Xin Sheng's father sent the Sima family back to the Xianyang court, and now Sima Chang, the head of the Sima family, is also the support of the Xin family.

Therefore, in order to thank the Heyang Xin family for several generations of kindness, the Sima family passed on the art of war inherited from the ancestor Sima Cuo to Xin Sheng, the eldest son of the Heyang Xin family, in oral form.

"Steady, accurate, and ruthless" are the three words that Xin Sheng summed up from Sima Cuo's art of war, but Xin Sheng is not Sima Cuo after all, and he can't become a peerless general like Sima Cuo.

What Xin Sheng learned was more about Sima Cuo's essence in attacking, which was better than attacking.

Such a famous general may be suitable for the front line of Hangu Pass, but if it is to guard the hinterland of Qin, it is definitely not the best choice.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Ying Zheng still decided to put this heavy responsibility on Wang Qian.

"Old general, Lone has decided to entrust Xianyang and the entire internal history to you."

Ying Zheng saluted Wang Qian, who was wearing a black military uniform and was nearly fifty years old but still tall.

In the face of Ying Zheng's salute, Wang Jian also bent down and lowered his head even lower than Ying Zheng.

Wang Jian wants to make meritorious deeds, but what meritorious deeds can compare to the value and trust of a king from the bottom of his heart?

You didn't see Wu Anjun in the past, who was invincible in the world, but finally lost the trust of King Zhaoxiang, and finally killed himself in Du You, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

Ying Zheng's trust deeply touched Wang Qian, his voice trembled, and his tall figure pressed down even lower.

"The minister will do his best to live up to the king's high expectations!"

"Good!"

Ying Zheng helped Wang Jian up, with a smile of relief between his eyebrows.

"With the general's words, Lone is relieved."

Regardless of whether Wang Jian was really willing to give up the opportunity to make contributions to the internal history, or pretended to be so righteous and awe-inspiring, he finally chose the interests of the Qin State, which made Ying Zheng very satisfied.

Ying Zheng has never been a stingy king, since Wang Jian is willing to sacrifice his own interests for the Qin State, then Ying Zheng will not treat Wang Jian badly.

He looked at the old eunuch Ling on the side, and the old eunuch Ling took out a black edict from his sleeve.

"The edict of King Qin, Lieutenant Wang Qian, has been conscientious for many years, stabilized the national capital, and later calmed the chaos, made outstanding contributions, and was promoted to internal history."

The old eunuch's sharp voice echoed in this side hall, echoing in Wang Qian's ears over and over again.

Listening to the edict read by the old eunuch, Wang Jian was stunned, Rao is heart and will are firm, but he also looked at Yingzheng in a daze.

Inner History!

That's the job of internal history!

The internal history refers to the Jinggi region of the Qin State, that is, the entire Guanzhong Plain and the Shangluo region, a total of 42 counties, and the internal history is also the name of the official position, and it is in charge of all the military and political powers in the internal history area, which can be described as a high power!

Since the internal history rebellion was executed, the Qin State has not promoted the new internal history for several months, and there are many people in the Qin State who are jealous of this position, but they didn't expect this position to fall on themselves!

But Wang Jian is Wang Jian after all, and he has not lost his mind because he was named an internal history.

Wang Jian showed hesitation on his face, and immediately bowed to Yingzheng and refused: "Your Majesty, the minister has no merit and no virtue, how can he take the position of internal history, please take back the order of the king, and send someone else to serve as the internal history." ”

But Ying Zheng didn't agree, but shook his head.

"If you think you can, then you can."

Ying Zheng naturally couldn't hand over the important position of internal history to others at will, and he was sure that Wang Jian could hold the position of internal history well.

He was able to hand over the post of internal history to Wang Qian, and he had also done an investigation in advance.

Wang Jian is not only a martial artist who knows military affairs, but a person who is both civil and military, since serving as a lieutenant, Xianyang Dading, except for Chang Yu's conspiracy and rebellion, there is no chaos, this is by no means a pure martial artist can do, it needs to be properly acted between Xianyang Ling, internal history and many courtiers and nobles, so as to be able to do so many years have never been maliciously impeached, but have never been derelict in their duties.

"Your Majesty, the minister really ......"

"Alright, let's take the order!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and interrupted Wang Qian's words.

Looking at the seal of the internal history presented by the inner servant in the lacquer plate and the tiger talisman that can mobilize the military power of the forty-two counties of the internal history, Wang Jian just wanted to untie the lieutenant tiger talisman on his waist, and handed it back to Ying Zheng with both hands, but Ying Zheng refused.

"The old general should know Xianyang, no, the entire land of internal history will not be peaceful." Ying Zheng's eyes were as sharp as a falcon, pointing to the map hanging on the wall behind him, "I give you the right to do the lieutenant's business, and before the army is repulsed, the lieutenant tiger talisman is still in your hands." ”

Wang Jian took the seal of the internal history and the tiger talisman that could mobilize the military power of the forty-two counties of the internal history with both hands, and stood in place for a long time, with a look of determination in the tiger's eyes.

"If the internal history is lost, it will be the day when the Dongxiang Wang clan will be destroyed!"
