Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism - #244 - Chapter 244

The most important task of this court meeting is to confer the title of Taiwei Ying Wei. The other tasks are to confer awards to the generals who contributed to the destruction of Korea, as well as those who betrayed Korea and offered the land of Nanyang, which has now become the Nei Shi Teng.

The Qin court officials had no objection to the reward given to this former fake guard of Nanyang.

Because the courtiers of the State of Qin knew that this current internal history would only hold his position here for the rest of his life, and it would be impossible for him to be promoted further.

No matter how much contribution Nei Shiteng made in destroying Korea this time, and no matter what reasons and grievances Nei Shiteng had, there is no doubt that he betrayed South Korea.

As long as a king is slightly capable, it is impossible to reuse such a person who has surrendered from other countries, unless there is no one in the court who can use him, because this kind of person is really uncomfortable to use.

However, Nei Stern did not care at all that his political career had come to an end. On the contrary, for Nei Stern, this was an unimaginable ecstasy.

Nei Shiteng was born as a real commoner, and he didn’t even have a surname. Being the false guardian of Nanyang was already the result of countless efforts he made.

As for the position of Qin’s domestic history, Nei Shiteng in the past would never dare to think about it.

Now that he has become an internal historian, he has left a foundation in Qin and has a family.

Maybe he can’t continue to rise, but his descendants are qualified to serve as officials in the court.

And his 463 descendants, who are Qin people with upright roots and strong talents, will no longer be disliked by their superiors.

At the end of the court meeting, all the officials left. Every official came to Ying Wei to congratulate him.

“Congratulations, Mr. Taiwei!”

“Your Majesty Taiwei’s victory over Korea this time really makes me admire you greatly. If your Majesty Taiwei has any spare time, he will definitely tell me about your great achievements!”

“I have admired Mr. Taiwei for a long time, and I am astonished by the book written by Mr. Taiwei. I hope that you will not hesitate to give me some advice and let me visit you to answer my doubts about the book.”

“……”

Officials licked their faces one after another to show their courtesy in front of Ying Wei. Those with low emotional intelligence would lick hard, while those with high enough emotional intelligence would use the books written by Ying Wei and this achievement as an excuse to establish a relationship with Ying Wei.

Among the Qin court, Ying Wei is the youngest, but besides the King of Qin, he has the highest status, ranking among the three Dukes.

Junhou is the highest title of nobility, and Three Dukes is the highest administrative position. Now that Ying Wei is the king of Chang’an and the noble title of Taiwei, he can be said to be a truly supreme minister with no title.

Fortunately, Ying Wei himself is from the Qin clan. If a person from a non-clan family gets such a status at such a young age, it is actually not a good thing. There is a high possibility that there will be a rift with the king in the future.

Getting promoted too quickly is actually quite dangerous.

Seeing these uncles and gentlemen who were all older than him kneeling and licking each other, Ying Wei could only show a fake smile and respond to them one by one.

When the battle between Ying Wei and Lu Buwei gradually became clear, he had already attracted the attention of all officials in the Qin State. Everyone read his works in order to understand this Lord of Chang’an.

Throughout the ages, those who can be officials or high officials are all excellent people. Every one of the hundreds of officials in this palace is familiar with Ying Wei’s works, not only knowing them by heart, but they can definitely speak them out loud.

If you don’t even read the books written by your leaders, you won’t be able to flatter them even if you want to!

Officials need to join groups to keep warm and form their own small groups. This is due to their interests.

However, Ying Wei does not need to do this, nor does he need to have any entanglements with other officials. He is a member of the Qin clan, and that is the die-hard Qin Wang faction.

As long as he has a good relationship with Brother Zheng, he doesn’t need to care about other officials.

Unless one day Ying Wei is ready to usurp the throne, then there will be a Chang’an Jun faction.

But for a long time, Ying Wei would never do such stupid things.

However, Ying Wei would never give up the position of Taiwei, because he found that the position of Taiwei was really suitable for usurping the throne!

The Taiwei’s duty is to command the world’s troops. As long as he can get the Tiger Talisman, he has the power to mobilize the army.

If Brother Zheng is gone one day, this position can blatantly control the army. This makes Ying Wei decide that he must hold on to this position tightly!

And Ying Wei is not a fool. He understands that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and he also understands the king’s suspicion.

If Brother Zheng can give him the position of Taiwei, he will have an excuse to remove him from this position.

Even if Brother Zheng really becomes a solitary man and refuses to recognize anyone else, Ying Wei will have to leave a backup plan for himself, and the only way to win is Zhao Ji!

Zhao Ji is Brother Zheng’s biological mother. Brother Zheng can never imagine what kind of person his mother is.

In the official history, Lao Ai and Zhao Ji tried to kill Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng, but they were both incompetent, so in the end the matter was revealed.

But if Lao Ai is replaced by Ying Wei, let alone Lu Buwei, even Brother Zheng will have absolutely no ability to make a comeback.

Therefore, now that Brother Zheng has regained power, Zhao Ji’s path must not be cut off, but must be firmly grasped.

Otherwise, Zhao Ji will still be a hidden danger, and Zhao Ji’s existence itself is actually the biggest constraint on Ying Zheng and the biggest killer move against him.

If Brother Zheng can always maintain this relationship with him, be harmonious and respectful as brothers, then Ying Wei will be loyal to Ying Zheng while he is alive and create a good story between brothers in the royal family.

But if one day Ying Zheng loses his way in power, and he completely changes, and he even disregards brotherhood for the sake of power, then Ying Wei would rather let me betray the world than let the world betray me!

Ying Wei is a very realistic person and a master of Legalism. People who are well versed in Legalism must understand one truth, that is, do not completely trust any king!

Respect the power of the king, but do not completely believe what the king says!

Therefore, Zhao Ji must continue on this path, because Zhao Ji is actually my greatest security guarantee, not even Brother Zheng.

Brother Zheng may one day start to be wary of my brother, but Zhao Ji’s love brain will definitely not. She will even help me fight against Brother Zheng!

Thinking of this, Ying Wei decided to visit the Queen Mother tomorrow. No one can stop me!

Ying Wei looked forward at this time. There was a sturdy middle-aged man in military military uniform, about forty years old and less than fifty years old, standing there. That was Wang Jian.

Wang Jian’s son Wang Ben is in his early thirties. Because children were born early in ancient times, although Wang Jian is a veteran, he is actually less than fifty.

Ying Wei took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:”……General Wang, there were so many things going on in the past that I didn’t even meet the general when I was in South Korea. Please forgive me.”

When Wang Jian saw Ying Wei taking the initiative to talk to him, he hurriedly saluted and laughed:”……What did Mr. Taiwei say?”

“That’s because the official didn’t visit Mr. Taiwei. It’s up to the official to apologize!”.
