Chapter 692: Chapter 281: Imperial Envoy! Commanding the Qin Army!
In other words, from now on, if anyone wants to mobilize troops, the four camp Protector-Generals must first consult Zhao Feng, and then Zhao Feng will request permission from above.
From now on.
The chief of the military officials is Zhao Feng.
“Chief of the military officials, please be seated.”
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
A few temple officials brought a cushion and a small table, placing them at the forefront of the military officials.
Previously, the civil and military officials were seated separately.
The Chancellor also had the right to sit, but now the position of Chancellor is divided into two roles, naturally lacking this honor.
Therefore.
Only Zhao Feng has this.
“I thank the Great King.” Zhao Feng expressed his gratitude.
Then he directly sat in this position of the chief of the military officials.
This is not only a symbol of authority but also a symbol of status.
Among the entire court.
Only he and the King of Qin are seated, indicating nobility.
As Zhao Feng sat down.
Many among the civil and military officials looked on with envious and reverent eyes.
“Gentlemen, continue with the discussions.” Ying Zheng waved his hand.
“Your Majesty.”
“Now that Xiao He and Meng Yi have already gone to govern the Chu Territory.”
“But due to the war, there are many refugees in Chu Territory, and winter is approaching, this matter still requires allocation of food and grass to relieve the disaster victims.” Han Fei spoke up and reported.
“Chancellor Han, draft a proposal on how much food and supplies are needed.”
“Then submit it to me.” Ying Zheng responded.
“I understand.” Han Fei replied respectfully.
The court discussions were underway.
Naturally centered around the matters in Chu Territory.
A Chinese hour passed.
“Gentlemen, is there anything else to report?”
Seeing that there were few voices of reporting on the court, Ying Zheng asked aloud.
“We have nothing further to report.” The ministers replied in unison.
“Alright, dismiss the court.”
“Lord Wu’an, join me in Zhangtai Palace for a discussion.”
Ying Zheng smiled, waved his hand, and then rose to leave.
“Going to Zhangtai Palace again.”
Zhao Feng felt a bit helpless.
Every time he enters Zhangtai Palace, he must speak with the King of Qin, and each time it takes a long time.
Although for the whole court, and even anyone in the world, this is a great honor, Zhao Feng only wants to return home quickly to spend time with his wives.
“Grand Commandant, congratulations.”
At this moment, Meng Wu and Huan Yi approached Zhao Feng and congratulated him with a smile.
Before today.
They might have been of the same rank, but from now on, Zhao Feng would be their superior.
Although they were both twice his age, their ranks were one step lower.
Not only in official position but also in title.
“The two generals are too kind.”
Zhao Feng smiled and clasped his fists.
Now in the court, only Zhao Feng’s father-in-law has not returned; everyone else has already come back.
“In the future, we will have to trouble the Grand Commandant quite a bit.” Meng Wu said with a smile.
“Indeed.” Huan Yi nodded.
“Grand Commandant.”
“Congratulations.”
At this time, Han Fei also walked over, smiling and offering his congratulations.
“Congratulations from Chancellor Han, the chief of the civil officials, is accepted.” Zhao Feng patted Han Fei.
“Alright.”
“Today, go to your residence.”
“Don’t hide from me.” Han Fei glanced at him.
“Would I ever skimp on wine?” Zhao Feng glanced back.
“Alright.”
“The Great King has summoned you, don’t be late.”
Han Fei waved his hand, not bothering to talk more with Zhao Feng.
“I will first head to Zhangtai Palace.”
Zhao Feng smiled at Meng Wu and turned to go towards Zhangtai Palace.
Watching Zhao Feng’s back.
In the eyes of Meng Wu and Huan Yi, there was also a sense of reflection.
“How many years has it been.”
“The young man back then has now become the foremost military official of Qin.”
“Indeed, comparing oneself to others is exasperating.”
“Originally thought Wang Jian was the most likely.”
“Didn’t expect it to be his son-in-law.”
“Wang Jian must be laughing even in his dreams now.”
“From now on, with Lord Wu’an as our superior, we can’t speak as casually.”
Meng Wu and Huan Yi left the court together, pondering on Zhao Feng as they departed.
In the past.
They could still position themselves as elders before Zhao Feng, but now they could only stand as subordinates.
A higher rank crushes ones below, and so it has been throughout history.
“Sigh.”
“Zhao Feng.”
Fusu watched Zhao Feng’s retreating figure with complex emotions in his eyes, feeling even more conflicted inside.
As for Hu Hai, he watched but did not try to win him over actively.
Because he knew Zhao Feng could not be won over, and he was content with the current situation.
Within Zhangtai Palace!
“This minister greets the Great King.”
Zhao Feng bowed deeply.
“Sit.”
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
“It is rare today that the Great King is not directly reviewing memorials, truly uncommon.”
Seeing Ying Zheng seated without reviewing memorials, Zhao Feng made a jesting remark.
“Today our Lord Wu’an of Qin has returned, and it is only proper to reward him well.” Ying Zheng replied with a smile.
Watching Zhao Feng’s young and martial demeanor.
Ying Zheng felt increasingly gratified.
This son of his was truly outstanding.
If not for the desire to recognize him only after unifying the lands, Ying Zheng almost couldn’t wait to tell him.
Child, I am your father.
However.
If Zhao Feng heard these words, he would likely be bewildered.
Even if he were the Great King, he might curse colorfully.
“Great King.”
“You shouldn’t speak superficially; just reward me with plenty of gold and silver.” Zhao Feng said with a smile.
“You own the Immortals’ Liquor House and make a lot daily, and you still ask me for money?”
“My treasury isn’t as rich as yours.”
Ying Zheng replied with feigned annoyance.
“Haha, just joking.” Zhao Feng laughed.
“Now you are Qin’s Grand Commandant, do you have a recommendation for the Wu’an Military Camp’s Senior General?” Ying Zheng asked Zhao Feng.
“Great King, you ask this minister?”
“Aren’t you afraid of me favoring my own people?”
Hearing Ying Zheng’s words, Zhao Feng asked rather surprisedly.
The candidate for Acting Protector-General.
Zhao Feng really hadn’t considered a successor.
After all, if he were to recommend someone, it seemed a matter of great consequence.
“I ask you to recommend, so recommend, what’s the point of arguing?”
“Besides, now in the military, who besides the main general of Wu’an Military Camp can command it?”
“Would other main generals accept it if they were transferred?” Ying Zheng smiled faintly.
After a moment of thought, Zhao Feng immediately said, “If I were to recommend, then I recommend Tu Sui.”
“Why?” Ying Zheng asked.
“Compared to Zhang Han, he has more commanding ability. Zhang Han is good at breaking through formations, Tu Sui is good at commanding troops.”
“As for Li You, he doesn’t have enough merits. If not for gaining some later, basically no general respects him.” Zhao Feng immediately said.
He expressed his views on the three generals of the Wu’an Military Camp.
“Li You.”
“In the end.”
“It was his father pleading with me to let him become a general in the Wu’an Military Camp.”
“Since Li Si came to Qin, he has always been my right-hand man with great merits. His first request, I couldn’t refuse him.” Ying Zheng slowly explained.
“It doesn’t matter now.”
“Li You has grown enough to be independent.” Zhao Feng chuckled.
“Since that’s the case.”
“Henceforth, the Wu’an Military Camp will have Tu Sui as Acting Protector-General. Once he truly has the ability, I will promote him officially.” Ying Zheng declared immediately.
“The minister receives the decree.” Zhao Feng responded immediately.
“If I hadn’t sent Ren Xiao, would you have planned to lead troops to Qi again?” Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
“I had the intention.”
“As for Qi.”
“Winning hearts is best, the King of Qi is a frightened bird, certainly not daring to oppose our Qin.”
“As long as troops are stationed at the border, under pressure, Qi will surrender.” Zhao Feng said confidently.
Of course.
This was based on historical understanding and assessing the current situation.
Seeing Chu State’s crisis, the King of Chu continuously sent envoys to Qi for aid, but the King of Qi dared not send troops, showing how useless and incompetent the King of Qi was.
Now that Chu State is destroyed, the battle is decided.
Qi has no strength to turn the tide.
“You are correct.”
“The King of Qi will surrender.”
“However.”
“Winter is approaching, and our Qin military resources cannot afford further consumption, come spring next year, I will allocate rations, and you shall personally go to Qi to conquer it.”
“The six states of the world will all fall to you.” Ying Zheng declared with laughter.
