Chapter 516: Chapter 218: Ying Zheng Plans Early Rewards! The Immortals’ Liquor House Secret!
“What Your Majesty said is absolutely right.”
“In the past, when Zhao attacked Yan, it took four months to barely reach Yuyang.”
“The Wu’an Military Camp achieved in one month what Zhao state achieved in four months back then, clearly showing the sharpness of our Qin Army.” Li Si loudly concurred.
His face beamed with joy, clearly very pleased.
After all, his son was also in the Wu’an Military Camp, and if the camp made military achievements, his son would naturally share in them as well.
“Minister Han.”
“How is the supply of provisions?” Ying Zheng asked Han Fei.
“Please rest assured, Your Majesty.”
“Currently, the first batch of provisions should be nearing Yunzhong City.”
“Within a month, this first batch can be delivered to the Wu’an Military Camp.” Han Fei immediately replied.
“That’s good.”
“The Wu’an Military Camp relies on the provisions of the original camp to launch a surprise attack on Yan, so the matter of provisions can greatly influence the battle, and must not be compromised.” Ying Zheng said seriously.
“Please rest assured, Your Majesty.”
“If there are any errors in the transport of provisions and supplies, please hold me accountable.” Han Fei immediately assured.
“Your Majesty.”
“Though Yan’s national power isn’t strong, relying solely on the Wu’an Military Camp may still be insufficient?”
“Should We Qin send additional forces for the expedition?” Wang Wan stood up and presented his suggestion.
“Has Zhao Feng requested reinforcements?” Ying Zheng directly looked at Yu Liao.
“Reporting to Your Majesty.”
“No request for reinforcements has been made.”
Yu Liao immediately responded.
“Since there has been no request for reinforcements, Zhao Feng must be confident in his ability to overthrow Yan, so there’s no need for you all to worry.” Ying Zheng smiled faintly, directly dismissing Wang Wan’s idea.
Nothing more.
He just wanted to dispatch another camp to divide the achievements.
If the Wu’an Military Camp alone could destroy Yan, then all the achievements would belong to Zhao Feng. However, if another camp were dispatched, then the achievements would naturally be divided.
“Draft a decree.”
“Send it to Wu’an Military Camp.”
“If the Wu’an Military Camp destroys Yan, I will promote Zhao Feng by one rank.”
“All three main generals of the Wu’an Military Camp shall be promoted by two ranks.” Ying Zheng announced to the court.
“Your Majesty.”
“Since the time of Lord Wu’an, the position of Qin’s Grand Commandant has remained vacant.”
“If General Zhao Feng can destroy Yan in this battle, it would prove his ability to lead troops.”
“Perhaps he could assume the great responsibility of Grand Commandant.”
Li Si stood up again and loudly proposed.
The words had just fallen.
The whole court was astounded.
“The Tingwei’s words are absurd.”
“General Zhao Feng is only twenty-two years old and already holds the position of Protector-General, a highly significant role in our Qin.”
“For the dignity of Grand Commandant, battlefield achievements and seniority are all indispensable.”
“General Zhao Feng’s current high position is already unusual, even if he destroys Yan, it isn’t enough to appoint him as Grand Commandant.”
“Otherwise, it would surely chill the hearts of the entire court.”
Without waiting for anyone to react, Wang Wan immediately stood up in opposition.
No matter what.
This position of Grand Commandant cannot be occupied by Zhao Feng.
It must be delayed as much as possible.
This way is most advantageous to them.
“We concur.”
“General Zhao Feng is too young to be the commander of our entire Qin army.”
“Please reconsider, Your Majesty.”
…
As Wang Wan stood up.
Suddenly, a large number of people in the court stood up in opposition.
The matter of the dignity of the Grand Commandant.
The number one military official.
Even those who bear no animosity towards Zhao Feng, there were quite a few who stood against it at this moment.
Once such a powerful figure emerges, it wouldn’t bode well for court politics either.
Seeing the court in full opposition.
Ying Zheng calmly glanced over.
“This matter shall await future discussion.” Ying Zheng slowly spoke.
Li Si’s earlier words also made Ying Zheng realize, this might be a kind of test.
With half the court opposing, there is no chance to advance Zhao Feng further at this moment.
Seeing this.
Wang Wan and others sighed in relief.
“However.” Ying Zheng’s tone suddenly shifted.
The eyes of all the courtiers focused again.
“In our Qin Army, military achievements alone are considered, not seniority.”
“The position of Grand Commandant indeed has been vacant for too long.”
“Indeed, it requires some consideration.”
Ying Zheng slowly spoke.
When these words fell.
Wang Wan’s face changed.
As an old fox, how could he not understand the deeper meaning in Ying Zheng’s words?
While this time they may have stopped it and Zhao Feng won’t be promoted to Grand Commandant after the destruction of Yan, the next time Zhao Feng achieves something, he will certainly be appointed.
This was also Ying Zheng’s direct declaration.
No one could stop it.
“Your Majesty.”
“Currently, our Qin is strong in national power.”
“The destruction of Yan will be a settled affair.”
“However.”
“The position of Queen of Qin has been vacant for years.”
“I suggest that Your Majesty appoint a Queen to stabilize Qin and invigorate the court.”
Chunyu Yue stood forward and loudly proposed.
Upon hearing his words.
Wang Wan didn’t step forward this time.
But with just a change of gaze.
The courtiers who hadn’t yet stepped back immediately expressed agreement.
“Please, Your Majesty, appoint a Queen to stabilize the foundation of the state.”
The voice of agreement resounded throughout the court.
Ying Zheng calmly watched, with mocking thoughts rising within.
“Unification is near, and they are overly eager.”
“Queen.”
“Heh.” Ying Zheng sneered, his gaze sweeping over the court, seemingly committing all these people to memory.
The position of Queen.
In Ying Zheng’s mind, there was only one rightful person, and aside from her, no one else was worthy.
If Xia Dong’er isn’t found, then even if Qin unites the world, there will be no Queen of Qin.
“Yu Qing.”
“Is the arrangement for the surrendered Wei soldiers already in place?”
Ying Zheng completely ignored Chunyu Yue, as well as the agreeing courtiers, and instead looked at Yu Liao for an answer.
“Reporting to Your Majesty.”
“They have now been transported in batches to Guanzhong, the Northern Frontier, and the Shu Region.”
