In the eighth year of the reign of King Qin, Yingzheng's reward for a number of civil and military forces also came down.

The titles of Wang Qi, Meng Fu and Duke Qi were all promoted from the left chief to two titles in a row, and the right chief was promoted to the left guard.

As the commander of this big battle, Wang Qi naturally had enough military exploits to be promoted two levels in a row because of the Qin army's victory after the victory.

And Meng Fu, as the key player in this battle to turn defense into offense, naturally has enough combat merits to be promoted to the left watch.

In contrast, Duke Qi's military exploits are insufficient, and it is a little reluctant to be promoted to the right chief, but considering that Wang Qi and Meng Fu have been promoted two levels in a row, it is not good to let this old general fall behind by one level.

Moreover, Duke Qi also asked Ying Zheng to resign some time ago, wanting to return to his hometown and retire for the rest of his life.

In fact, Qi Gong's body has begun to decline in recent years, and this battle has consumed a lot of Qi Gong's energy, although he has not been injured, but he has also been seriously ill after the war.

The head of the doctor, Xia Wu, had been diagnosed and treated by him, and the body of the Duke of Qi could no longer bear the turbulence of military life, so Ying Zheng agreed to the resignation of the Duke of Qi, and named the Duke of Qi as the King of Chongquan, and sealed him in Chongquan County, a small county town by the canal built by Zheng Guo, and rewarded the old general who had served the Qin State for decades with the land that would be fertile in a few months.

Then, it was Wang Qian's turn to be rewarded.

Ying Zheng dismissed Wang Jian from the post of internal history, not because he was dissatisfied with Wang Qian, but because he appointed Wang Jian from the internal history during the war just to make him act cheaply, and the post of internal history needs to be held by someone who knows how to govern after all.

At the same time, Wang Jian was also relieved of his position as a lieutenant.

At first glance, it looks like Wang Jian has made some big mistake and is deposed, after all, whether it is internal history or lieutenant, it is a position that many people have pursued all their lives.

But combined with Yingzheng's next moves, everyone understood Yingzheng's intentions.

Ying Zheng named Wang Jian as a general, and the title was promoted from the left chief to the right chief, and took over the command of the Lishan battalion left by the old queen of the Qi announcement.

And Wang Jian got the command of the Lishan battalion and the position of general, which also means that Yingzheng intends to let Wang Jian succeed Duke Qi as the military giant.

The rest of Li Xin, Qiang Qi, Wang Ben, Yang Wengzi, Ren Huan, Tu Ju, Su Jiao and others all had titles and rewards, and a number of civil officials in charge of logistics also received rewards from Yingzheng.

Of course, there's one more person on the bounty list.

Zhang Ji's reward can be said to have overshadowed everyone, even the three old generals who were promoted to the left guard were also covered.

Zhang Ji's title was raised from zero to the eleventh level in one breath, that is, the right chief at the same level as Wang Qian.

But this is understandable, Zhang Ji's record is indeed wonderful, and the terrifying battle damage ratio even the lord Neishi doesn't know how to give Zhang Ji credit.

The size of Qin's military exploits is based on the theory of profit, not only by the number of beheadings, but also by counting the number of casualties on their own side in order to calculate their military exploits.

But one hundred and seventeen people were wounded, forty-five were killed, but seven thousand were beheaded and more than nine thousand were surrendered.

Moreover, the military exploits of Wang Qi, Meng Fu, Gong Qi and Wang Jian are all due to Zhang Ji's planning, even if it is really from scratch, it is more than enough to make a left chief.

But Zhang Ji is the guest secretary, the guest secretary is the same as the next secretary, and the next secretary is the same as the left chief, if Zhang Ji is the left chief, it is nominally equivalent to standing still and there is no reward. If it is spread out, it is inevitable that some people will say that the Qin State will not be rewarded for meritorious service, so it will be increased by one level, and he will be named the right chief, and the positions of the captain of the guard and the leader of the net will not be changed.

But the reason why it is said to be a reward that overpowers anyone else is because on the basis of the status of the right chief, the captain of the guard, and the leader of the net, Ying Zheng gave Zhang Ji the post of internal history.

The eyes of the civil and military ministers in the court were all focused on Zhang Ji's body, and there was a noise of discussion.

If it is said that the right commander symbolizes status, the guard lieutenant symbolizes military power. The net symbolizes the power of espionage, and the internal history symbolizes the regime.

Such a concentration of power is not a good thing for a courtier in his early twenties, and it is not a good thing for a country.

At this moment, whether it was a courtier who was good with Zhang Ji or a courtier who was at odds with Zhang Ji, they all had the intention to oppose it, but in the end, it was only the imperial history that stood up and opposed.

Speaking of which, the last one who was almost unanimously excluded by the important ministers of the court was Zhang Yi at the beginning of King Wulie's accession to the throne, and the last one was Shang Ying at the beginning of King Huiwen's accession to the throne.

However, those really important figures, such as Xiangbang Lü Buwei and the military generals headed by Wang Qi, Meng Fu, and Wang Qian, did not raise objections, and those who were good friends with Zhang Ji, such as Li Si, Li Xin, Qiang Qi, and others, only had envy on their faces, but they did not object.

Clear-eyed people can see the clues from the attitude of these people, the warriors of the Qin State may not be good at governance, but their political sense is not weaker than that of ordinary civil servants, and when the Lang officials led by Li Si did not object, this is even more unusual.

They are all good friends with Zhang Ji, and they can also perceive the unfavorable factors for Zhang Ji, but the fact that they have no objection shows that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

It's just that in the face of Ying Zheng's obviously over-spec reward, Zhang Ji was a little stunned and didn't dare to accept it.

But Ying Zheng's attitude was very resolute and forced Zhang Ji to accept the appointment.

In Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng and Zhang Ji walked together in the garden of Zhangtai Palace, and only Gai Nie was accompanied within a hundred steps around.

Zhang Ji looked at the smiling Yingzheng with some annoyance, and rolled his eyes: "The king is going to roast his ministers on the fire." ”

Yingzheng's wave of operations almost made Zhang Ji can't help but say the sentence "I want to be evil on the stove".

Ying Zheng still had a smile on his face, and patted Zhang Ji's shoulder: "Who let Mr. quietly include that Gongsun girl." ”

As a focal figure in Xianyang, Zhang Ji's every move, word and deed has been paid attention to by many people, and Gongsun Li's affairs are naturally not difficult to be discovered by people other than Yingzheng, especially those old ministers who always pay attention to Gongsun Yu in Tingwei Prison.

"However, this Gongsun Li, Mr. slept well!" Ying Zheng showed a smile that all men understand.

The reason why Yingzheng rewarded Zhang Ji so much was because of Gongsun Li, or a series of influences brought by Zhang Ji after accepting Gongsun Li as a concubine.

That is, the old ministers of the country have found the backbone.

Although Qin has been surrendered, after all, it is a subordinate, and he is a little worried after all. After all, none of the former ministers of the country are now in high positions, and Lü Buwei, a very popular minister, cannot have anything to do with them, which makes the old ministers of the country worry about being excluded and bullied by other factions all day long.

And Zhang Ji's move of taking Gongsun Li as a concubine and releasing Gongsun Yu was regarded as his own by the old ministers of the country.

Recently, there have been many former ministers of the country, and they are also the old ministers of Gongsun Yu, who have invested in the Weiwei Mansion and entered the Yulin Army, which is based on this reason.

Therefore, Zhang Ji's status must be high enough to make the old ministers of the country feel at ease and gradually return to their hearts.

The position of internal history is to promote Zhang Ji's status at the same time, I hope that Zhang Ji will arrange these old ministers of the country in the place of the strongest control of the Qin State, so that even if they have the heart of rebellion, they will not be able to give birth to chaos, and they can slowly gather the hearts of the old ministers of the country who have no rebellious thoughts.

Of course, Ying Zheng would never say that it was because he was too greedy for the almost redundant number of ministers and scholars who defended the country.
