Chapter 553 Beating Yao Jia and Dun Weak

  Just when everyone's attention was attracted by Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son, Dun Rui stood up from the side.

  "Your Majesty, the Yan State is weak and weak, and its political situation is unclear. If we attack Yan, we will definitely defeat it with one blow!"

  Dunruo unsparingly elaborates on the chaotic situation of the Yan State after losing the support of the Mohists, as well as the internal power struggle in the Yan State.

  Yao Jia believed that the situation in the Wei State was even more corrupt than that of the Yan State, so he started arguing with Dun Rui. Both of them were red-faced and refused to accept the other, but it diverted a lot of the conflict between father and son Wang Jian and Wang Ben.

  For a moment, everyone also noticed that there seemed to be sparks flickering between Yao Jia and Dun Rui. Obviously, their situation was not that simple.

  And this is also the case. Zhang Ji hesitated and asked in the ear of Gangchengjun Cai Ze, the Diankeqing: "Is Gangchengjun thinking of retiring from old age and becoming an official?"

  Cai Ze was stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Ji to have such a strong political sensitivity, but he still nodded and confirmed Zhang Ji's guess.

  And Zhang Ji also understood instantly, no wonder Yao Jia and Dun Ruo were like this.

  If Cai Ze, the Diankeqing, retires and becomes an official, it means that Diankeqing's position will be vacant.

  Generally speaking, high-level official positions in the Qin State, such as Dianke, were called Jiuqing in later generations. If the chief official retired, the new candidates would rarely be airborne. Usually, they would be chosen by several subordinates from the chief official. One of the deputies is selected for promotion.

  Cai Ze's deputy in Dianke Mansion is Yao Jia and Dun Rui. If he retires and becomes an official, only Yao Jia and Dun Rui are qualified to accept it.

  In terms of qualifications, both of them are not veterans of the Qin State, and they have not been in the Qin State for a long time.

  In terms of merit, Yao Jia and Dun Ruo are also comparable.

  Therefore, the next country to perish is the opportunity for the two to increase the number of credits with each other.

  Yao Jia was in charge of the Wei State, while Dun Weak was in charge of the Yan State.

  If Wei was destroyed, Yao Jia would naturally be rewarded for his political achievements after the war.

  And if Yan is destroyed, in the same way that Yingzheng will be rewarded for his merits after the war, he will also be rewarded for his weakness.

  In other words, if Wei is destroyed this time, Yao Jia can take over the post of Dianke Qing. If Yan is destroyed, Dun Ruo will take over as Dianke Qing.

  So today, for Yao Jia and Dun Rui, it is not a military meeting to decide Qin's strategy for the next stage, but a meeting to decide who will be the next Dianke Qing.

  Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly listening patiently to Dun Wei's narration, but he began to feel impatient in his heart. Yao Jia and Dun Ruo were both typical scholars in the Warring States Period. For their own fame and fortune, they would sacrifice all costs.

  Different from the image of scholars in later generations, the origin of scholars was originally from scholars who were not powerful and powerful in order to pursue fame and fortune and achieve class transformation. Naturally, we should not expect scholars to have such noble moral integrity and conduct.

  This is not unacceptable to Ying Zheng. As long as their talents and learning can benefit Qin, what if there are some problems with their character?
  Ying Zheng was not unaware that Yao Jia and Dun Ruo had embezzled part of the money he had given to them to make friends with powerful people from all over the world. He was also not unaware that the powerful people from all over the world had given them a lot of money and beauties in order to make friends with them. But they There is a bottom line for everything, and it is clear what can be done and what cannot be done.

  For the Qin State, the advantages of Yao Jia and Dun Ruo far outweighed the disadvantages, so Ying Zheng could tolerate the flaws of the two of them, and even indulged them. This was Ying Zheng's magnanimity.

  However, this does not mean that Ying Zheng allowed the two of them to disregard the interests of Qin for personal interests.

  "Hmph! You are my Great Qin Qing. You are noisy and noisy. How are you different from the villagers in the market?"

  Ying Zheng slammed the table, his face majestic and solemn. Yao Jia and Dun Ruo immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Convicted."

  "Master Yushi, please note that Yao Jia and Dun Rui were discourteous in front of the king and were fined one year's salary and twenty canes each!"

  Wang Wan nodded in agreement, and soon the Yulin Guards entered Zhangtai Palace, dragged Yao Jia and Dun Ruo out and gave them twenty sticks.

  These twenty sticks are nothing to ordinary generals, but Yao Jia and Dun Ruo are both pure scholars who are not good at martial arts and are good at eloquence. They really don't know martial arts, so these twenty sticks are absolutely worthless to them. It's a heavy penalty.

  As for the so-called one-year salary penalty, it was nothing to these two people.

  The fines are only salaries, that is, wages. Even if Yao Jia and Dunqiang really don't have much, they still have basic food security and other benefits and allowances for food, clothing, housing and transportation, so they don't need to worry about survival at all.

  Ying Zheng punished the two of them, mainly to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

  Although Yao Jia and Dun Ruo were temporarily obsessed with things, they were both smart people.

  Seeing Ying Zheng's rage and being beaten both physically and mentally by Ying Zheng, he naturally didn't dare to make any more mistakes.

  Of course, Ying Zheng targeted not only Yao Jia and Dun Ruo, but also the scholars who had the same idea as the two.

  The Qin State valued the scholar class most, so it received the support of countless scholars. However, they must understand that their status and rewards were given by him as the king, and he must have the final say in whatever they want. If you disobey him, the King of Qin, you will get nothing.
