This first emperor is awesome

Since the reform of the Shang Dynasty, Daqin has clearly defined rewards and punishments, and won the world with its trust and promise.

Merit must be rewarded, mistakes must be punished, words must be followed, and actions must be followed.

So despite all the reluctance in my heart, I finally gave the eldest princess Ying Yuanman to Wang Jian who was over sixty years old.

For the prosperity and well-being of the world, for the eternal prosperity of the Qin Dynasty, for the common people to stay away from the flames of war, not to mention sacrificing the happiness of their daughters, even anyone can sacrifice, including myself.

There are many beauties in my harem, but which one is the woman I really love?

They are all of noble birth, either the daughters of princes or nobles.

Beauty is not the most important thing, the relationship between a man and a woman in marriage is just a political need for me.

This is the price to be paid for having the supreme right.

As a royal family, since childhood, he was well-clothed and well-fed, surrounded by servants, and lived a life that ordinary people could not match.

People live a lifetime, gain some, and always lose some, enjoyment and responsibility are equal.

Of course, you can also choose not to compromise with fate.

In this way, the empire will not have any problems in a short period of time.

But in the end, we still have to face the political chain reaction of betrayal of relatives and separation of monarchs and ministers.

Although the in-law relationship is not unbreakable, it is also the hub to maintain the delicate balance between the monarch and his subjects.

With this relationship, they will feel that their safety is more guaranteed, and the chance of taking risks will be greatly reduced.

Politics has always been a product of compromise. If a king doesn't even trust his subjects, how can all the people of the world trust him?

Without the love of his courtiers and his own stalwart supporters, then this king is like a puppet that has been emptied of air, nothing more than a vain appearance.

Winning a group, suppressing a group, supporting confidantes, and eliminating dissidents are also compulsory courses for a king.

Therefore, as long as there is an aspiring king, the ability of courtiers can only always be ranked second, and loyalty is the most important thing for the king.

If talent and loyalty coexist, such a person will often become the king's right-hand man and trusted minister.

Li Si's allegiance has never been to Da Qin, but to himself who has been kind to him.

That's why over the years, no one can shake his position.

Wang Jian is also a veteran of the four dynasties. Since his great-grandfather, he has been a general of the Great Qin Dynasty.

At that time, he was still very young, and his reputation was not obvious. How many people from ancient and modern times could compete with him under the radiance of Lord Wu An Bai Qi?

"Zhao Zhong, pass on my decree to reward Wucheng Hou Wangjian with a hundred silks, a thousand yi of gold, ten thousand mu of fertile land, and one hundred thousand copper coins."

Ying Zheng was very happy and gave Wang Jian a large reward.

"Your Majesty's grace is mighty, and the Wang Manchus will always remember it in their hearts."

Wang Jian immediately burst into tears of gratitude, bowed his hands and bowed.

"Okay, are you still polite with me?"

"When did you, Wang Jian, become hypocritical?"

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and said unhappily.

At this time, he didn't have any airs on him, he was completely in the attitude of getting along with his family, and he spoke very casually.

"hey-hey."

Wang Jian was a little embarrassed by what he said, so he laughed dryly.

"Tell me! What else is there?"

Ying Zheng first laughed out loud, then asked again.

"This, Your Majesty"

Wang Jian looked at Zhao Zhong in the hall, hesitant to speak.

"The old man in Zhao Zhong Palace is gone, don't worry!"

Ying Zheng was not in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I naturally believe in the eunuch's order, but what I said next, other than Your Majesty, should not be heard by anyone else. Please be reminded by Your Majesty."

Wang Jian said with a serious expression on his face.

Seeing Wang Jian's appearance, Ying Zheng nodded and waved to Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong bowed his hands immediately, then slowly withdrew from the Pingtian Hall and closed the door of the main hall.

After waiting for Zhao Zhong to leave, Ying Zheng asked suspiciously: "Can we talk now?"

"Your Majesty, I am seriously ill."

Wang Jian sighed, his expression full of melancholy.

Ok?

Wang Jian's body has always been very strong, and Ying Zheng didn't notice that Wang Jian looked seriously ill after looking carefully for a long time.

"What disease do you suffer from?"

Ying Zheng also showed concern. After all, Wang Jian was a great general of the Qin Dynasty, and he had followed him for many years. The friendship between the monarch and his ministers was strong, and he couldn't help but feel compassion.

"The illness of King Xuan of Qi."

Wang Jian hesitated, but finally made up his mind and said.

"puff"

Ying Zheng just drank the wine in his mouth and before he had time to swallow it, he couldn't hold back and sprayed it out, laughing: "Is the widow sick?"

Seeing His Majesty laughing unscrupulously, Wang Jian's face was as black as charcoal, and he knew it would be like this.

If I had known earlier, I might as well not have said it, I am really ashamed of my old face

Chapter 21 I don’t need to kill blood relatives to justify my name, nor do I need to kill meritorious deeds to secure my position

"Let the doctor take a look."

Ying Zheng quickly stopped laughing, and then said seriously.

"I've seen it. This minister has suffered numerous unmentionable illnesses from many years of fighting. Coupled with the fact that the years are not forgiving, the minister lost his masculinity as early as a few years ago."

Wang Jian was extremely bitter and said regretfully.

Ying Zheng was very puzzled, why did Wang Jian go crazy today?

If that's the case, then why did you come to me to tell me about this crap?

I don't know medical skills, so I can't solve this kind of thing.

"Isn't General Wang seeking medical treatment?"

Ying Zheng stared at Wang Jian and questioned.

Wang Jian heard that His Majesty's address had changed, and it seemed that his majesty's displeasure had been caused by beating around the bush.

"Your Majesty, I am here to plead guilty this time."

"Although the eldest princess has been in the royal family for several years, she is still a perfect body."

"Wang's fortune is poor, and he is not worthy of the princess. I beg your majesty to order the princess to divorce her husband."

Wang Jian stood up directly, and bowed to Ying Zheng.

Five years ago, he led the whole country's army to attack Chu, and his majesty suddenly sent the eldest princess Ying Yuanman to him, and ordered Yuchu to get married.

Back then, His Majesty handed over all the soldiers of the whole country to himself, so it was really helpless to make such a bad move.

After all, this battle is related to the fate of the country, and it is a battle of life and death.

Whether it is to reassure His Majesty, or to serve as a minister, I cannot refuse His Majesty's edict.

Now that the Great Qin has unified the world for three years, and the smoke has cleared from the land of China, it is time to retire.

Both the prestige and reputation of the Wang family have reached unprecedented heights.

As the saying goes, the heights are too cold, although His Majesty is wise and treats all meritorious deeds kindly.

But who can guarantee that this will always be the case?

The Wang family is on the cusp of the wind and waves, so it is inevitable that they will not be jealous of villains, and sometimes slander and attack rape. It seems that the scenery is infinite, but in fact it is already perilous.

Especially in the past few years when the world was unified, Wang Jian often pondered His Majesty's intentions at home.

It stands to reason that if His Majesty wants to send the princess to the royal family for appeasement and commendation, there is no need to marry himself, an old guy who is dying.

My son and my grandson are all fully capable.

But marrying an old guy like himself is really intriguing.

At that time, I had already been diagnosed with a rare disease, and it was difficult to cure.

His Majesty knew about this back then, but he still married the eldest princess to him.

Wang Jian was very convinced that even if there was any trouble in the state of Qin, it would be difficult to hide from this ambitious majesty.

What's more, I sought out famous doctors everywhere back then, and even went to the palace to find an imperial doctor.

If His Majesty didn't know about this, Wang Jian would be surprised.

Now comes the question, His Majesty knows that he is inhumane, but what does it mean to condescend the princess to himself?

ridicule yourself?

Your Majesty is not so small and boring!

In the past two years, I was busy fighting, and I didn't think about it.

In the past few years, he seems to have gradually realized something. His Majesty is implying that he wants to retreat in spite of difficulties.

"Bastard, are you trying to trap the princess in infidelity and me in injustice?"

Ying Zheng flew into a rage, pointing at Wang Jian and scolding.

Ok?

Did you guess wrong?

Wang Jian was stunned, seeing that His Majesty was so righteous and furious, he was a little confused for a while.

"Your Majesty, I have no such intentions."

There is no way, I really did it out of kindness, since I am inhumane, then the princess and I are just a couple in name only.

That being the case, it would be better to sell His Majesty, so that His Majesty will remember some of the Wang family's good things in his heart, and forget the unhappiness in the past.

You know, back then, His Majesty didn't listen to what he said, but chose to listen to Li Xin's nonsense.

I was more or less unhappy in my heart, who could not have a time when the blood rushed to the head.

I have been cautious for most of my life, but I never thought that I would be self-willed after living a long time.

Later, as expected, Li Xin was young and energetic, underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, ruining 20 elites of Qin.

The whole country was shaken, and the world was in an uproar.

At this time of crisis, if the cloud of failure hanging over Qin's head cannot be swept away.

Not only will the war of destroying the country come to an end without a problem, it may even lead to a siege from all over the world.

Those extinct vassal states are also very likely to come back to life.

In order to revive his prestige, His Majesty had no choice but to repeatedly ask himself to go out and command troops to attack Chu.

But at that time, I was so confused that I played a temper, not only made His Majesty repeatedly beg, but also made His Majesty come to the door to admit his mistake.

And he made a lot of excessive demands. Now that I think about Wang Jian, I feel that I must have lost my mind at the time, right?

"Don't bring this matter up again. Since Yuan Man has entered the gate of the Wang family, he was born as a member of the Wang family and will die as the soul of the Wang family."

Ying Zheng patted the wooden table in front of him again, his voice sounded eloquent, like a furious army.

Although His Majesty has not settled accounts in the past few years, and has been responsive to his requests.

But for some reason, the Wang family can always receive strong malice from His Majesty from time to time.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but this kind of malice always happens when it's just right.
