Chapter 225 I can only agree if I can't afford it

It is very difficult to send a memorial to the King of Qin Ying Zheng, but it does not include military information and war reports.

The battle report of the great victory in the attack on Han was from Wu Pass to Xianyang. He would pass every pass, and the road was unobstructed. He would be publicized loudly every time he arrived at a city. Therefore, the message was sent out dozens of troops, more than 300 people this time.

All Qin State checkpoints encountered the victory and waiting cavalry, and they opened the city gates and released them.

Outside Xianyang City, a loud shout was heard. The Qin army won a great victory and destroyed Han in three days. The lights of thousands of families were awakened. There were more than 30 people who were sending messages. Each of them carried a box of bamboo slips and rushed into Xianyang City with two riders.

When the Xianyang defenders saw that it was the messenger cavalry, they all pulled away the antlers and let them go, but they were full of excitement and joy. The Qin army won a great victory and destroyed Han in three days, so that they knew that the Qin army had won and Han was destroyed. The people of Xianyang City, which had already been curfewed, also walked out of their homes and inquire about the news. The Wuhou patrols the streets did not stop them. They were also waiting for the messenger cavalry to come to explain the war and the news to them.

Lu Buwei was also woken up by the housekeeper and hurriedly put on his official uniform and rushed to the Qin Palace. When he arrived, all the officials of Qin, including Liao, Li Si, Chen Ping, etc. were already waiting outside the Qin Palace. Everyone was waiting for the Qin King's summoning, wanting to know the content of the good news as soon as possible.

The palace gate of the Qin King Palace was opened again, and the Thirty Marquis Cavalry also got the license to ride in the palace and went straight to the Qin King Hall.

Ying Zheng ran to the Qin King Hall before he could even put his shoes on. Looking at the envoy of the Honglu who was carrying bamboo slips and feathers, he hurriedly asked, "What's the war in South Korea?"

"Report to the king, the Qin army won thousands of victory, the National Master destroyed Han in three days, captured Han Xinzheng, captured Han Wangan and the Korean royal family, and were on the way back to Xianyang." The envoy of the Honglu quickly saluted.

"Okay!" Ying Zheng said with a loud laugh.

"The King, the Honglu envoy rushed back all the way and didn't close his eyes for four days and four nights." Da Changqiu reminded.

Only then did Ying Zheng notice that the Honglu Envoy was supported by the eunuch, and the inner sides of his legs were already covered in blood and hurriedly said, "Send the imperial physician order quickly."

"The good news is here, please check it out." The envoy of the Honglu took out a brief good news written by a cloth book from his arms.

Gai Nie hurriedly took it over and confirmed that there was no problem, Ying Zheng snatched it away. Ying Zheng opened it and saw that it was just a brief description of the process of sending troops from Nanyang to the capture of Xinzheng.

But Ying Zheng read it several times in a row, but the smile on his face became more and more intense, and he couldn't let go of the briefing.

"You have reported to the King, Prime Minister, Guowei, Tingwei, Censor and other cultural relics officials all requested an audience outside the palace gate." Da Changqiu said again.

"Xuan!" Ying Zheng waved his hand and said with a big smile. Then he realized that he was not wearing shoes, so the waiter hurriedly brought the shoes to him.

But the thunderous snoring sounded. Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at it, and found that the Honglu Envoy who had sent the order was already asleep.

"Help him down and rest, don't disturb the hero's rest, let the imperial physician follow him." Ying Zheng lowered his voice and said.

The eunuch nodded and carefully helped the Honglu envoy to the side hall to rest.

Lu Buwei and others also walked quickly towards the Qin Palace. Although they were walking, they didn't have to run slowly at all. Even old people like Lu Buwei were flying.

"Greetings to the king." The officials stood still and said, but their eyes were searching for the envoys who had won the victory.

"Dare you dare to ask the king, what about the envoy of the Honglu who reported the victory?" Lu Buwei couldn't help but ask.

"The Honglu envoy has been sleeping for four days, so he is tired and is resting in the side hall." Da Changqiu said.

"South Korea has been destroyed. The National Master destroyed South Korea in three days and captured Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea. The King of Han tied his face and held jade, and asked to surrender. He was already on the way to Xianyang." Ying Zheng said, and then handed the briefing to Lu Buwei and circulated it in the hands of all officials.

"Good! Great good! The Qin army won thousands of victories, long live the Qin State, long live the king!" Lu Buwei shouted with a flushed face with excitement.

When the other officials saw this, they hurriedly followed, and then looked at the briefings passed by, their faces were red and shouting, so the entire Qin Palace shouted.

"I passed on the order of the king to lift the curfew within the Qin State for three days, and the good news spread throughout the country." Ying Zheng said.

"No!" all the officials answered one after another.

As all officials left, the caution of the good news began to spread throughout Xianyang from the Qin Palace, so the entire Xianyang was in full bloom. All the Qin people walked onto the streets, singing and dancing, and carnival in a random way. The entire Xianyang became a veritable city that never sleeps. Everyone was shouting long live the Qin State and long live the king.

Ying Zheng also followed Lu Buwei's civil and military ministers to drink and have fun in the Qin Palace all night long.

But Liao felt uncomfortable because although the Honglu Envoy fell asleep, the war report was there, so his life came. He needed to review the entire war, then count the military merits, compare them with the military merit book reported by Wu Chenzi, and then hand them over to Ying Zheng and all officials for review, and finally confirm the reward.

Ying Zheng and others knew that this could be delayed, but they just didn't want to bring Liao to play with him. When we were in trouble, you danced happily. Now the feng shui took turns, and it was time for you to watch us party and work.

At first, Liao was a little depressed. But looking at the records of meritorious officials and the records of military Chinese documents, and constantly reviewing them, Liao was excited. This tactic was really a precedent and there must be more usages, so the entire Guowei Mansion was constantly reviewing and comparing them. So they were all night long.

"How can the fastest as wind as fast as thunder?" Liao sighed. It is said that the cavalry of Zhao State is as fast as wind, but there are too many ways to extend the fighting style created by Wuchenzi. Therefore, the entire Guowei Mansion is studying the various uses of this tactic, universality and confrontation methods in various environments.

The next morning, all the officials of Qin found that the National Guard had disappeared, and even a bunch of military generals did not come to court. So Ying Zheng went to the National Guard's Mansion in person, but found a group of people discussing these various tactics, and they were quarreling and did not notice his arrival at all.

"Forget it, go back." Ying Zheng glanced at Gai Nie and said, "It's rare that these people work so seriously, so they won't disturb them anymore." In the past, the leisurely people in Xianyang were these people, so they won't disturb their enthusiasm for work.

Finally, two days later, the envoy of the Honglu finally woke up, and then told the whole story of the war in front of all civil and military officials, which made people excited and finally drowned out the sound of victory.

"Monument? Or enjoy incense, blood and food with the royal family." The civil and military officials quarreled with this request made by Wu Chenzi. The civil and military officials disagreed with the fact that a group of Mud-legged Zi Qiuba could enjoy such high treatment as the gentry and nobles, and every year, the king would go to worship on the Cold Food Festival.

The generals agreed unanimously, especially Liao. He knew more clearly how much significance this would be to the Qin army. Once this law was passed along, the Qin army would no longer worry about recruiting soldiers, nor would they have to worry about the soldiers losing their lives. It would definitely improve the combat effectiveness of the Qin army a lot.

"You must know that this is a request made by the National Normal University, not a suggestion for you to discuss." Liao said to a group of civil servants.

What do you really think is that we don’t know. Isn’t it just that our military generals have a high status and want to suppress us, and want to restore the status of civil officials in Shang Yang and Zhang Yi’s era to occupy a high position. But you can first determine whether you can provoke Wu Chenzi.

Sure enough, as soon as Liao said something, the whole court immediately became silent. This guy never played according to the routine. Even Yao Jia killed him as soon as he said he wanted to kill, and the king helped him wipe his butt.

The entire Qin Dynasty, the king, the magistrate, and the censor were all his students, and the prime minister also owe him favors. Now the military generals also support him. How can they oppose this? If you really want to oppose it, it will be time to deal with them when he leads his army to the court.

Lu Buwei and others were not ordinary people, so they naturally knew that Wu Chenzi's request could greatly improve the battle of the Qin army, and it would be easier for Qin to recruit soldiers. So they did not object and directly agreed to pass.

"This method is not only feasible in the army, but anyone who has made contributions to the Great Qin can be listed on the monument and enjoy the incense and blood of the Great Qin." Lu Buwei said.

When the civil servants heard this, they instantly realized that yes, it was not only soldiers who made contributions, but they were also able to do the same, so they felt much more comfortable. As expected, the Prime Minister would think about them.

Seeing that all civil and military officials had a unified opinion, Ying Zheng said, "Anyone who has made contributions to our Qin Dynasty, regardless of origin, male or female, whether they are nobles, witch doctors, musicians, and craftsmen, or merchants and robbers, can be listed on the monument and enjoy the imperial blood and food sacrifice."

All civil and military officials were stunned for a moment. Why can even witch doctors, musicians, and craftsmen, especially merchants and merchants, be among them? Isn’t that even actors?

"Why do you have any objections? Can't merchants make contributions to me, Daqin, or do you think the prime minister is not qualified to be engraved on the stele?" Ying Zheng looked at the officials and asked. Wu Chenzi told him that no businessman is not rich, and merchants are the hub connecting all people, so he added these things in particular.

All civil and military officials looked at Lu Buwei. Everyone knew that Lu Buwei was a businessman, but he made great contributions to Qin, ending the last bloodline of the Zhou emperor and capturing the capital of Luoyang of the Zhou emperor. If Lu Buwei was not qualified, no one would have the qualification.

"We have no objection!" All civil and military officials bowed and replied.

"Historical officer, note!" Ying Zheng glanced at the Grand Historian who was responsible for recording the major affairs of the country and said, "Build a Martyr's Garden and a Monument to the Great Qin on Mount Li. Anyone who has great achievements in Qin can be buried here. Anyone who has great achievements in Qin, regardless of origin or gender, can be named on the monument. All kings of the Great Qin must personally pay tribute to the Cold Food Festival every year and offer blood food. This is the national policy of the Great Qin."

The Grand Historian hurriedly took notes and said that this was a national policy, and once it was recorded, the descendants of the Qin Dynasty must abide by it.

"From today, all civil and military officials will eat cold food for three days, and the entire army will mourn and pay tribute to the soldiers who died in battle." Ying Zheng continued.
