Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 38

When Yingzheng established the county lieutenant, he realized that there were too few generals under his command who could be used to guard one side!

Most of Qin's generals are brave generals who are good at fighting. It's nothing to say that these people are used to fight on the battlefield!But it's not enough to guard one side!

Because of the aggressive and ruthless atmosphere in the Qin army, the generals did not seek solutions to problems, but only thought that everything could be solved by using troops!Originally, it was possible to negotiate with the armies of the six countries that broke up into the mountains to become bandits and let them lay down their weapons and return to their hometowns, but these generals have turned into an irreconcilable situation, and the entire Great Qin has spent too much military expenditure and energy on suppressing bandits. aspect!It has added a lot of burden to the already not very rich treasury!

Wang Jian asked Wang Li to find his father, former general and Tongwu Hou Wang Ben, and asked Wang Ben to speak to the emperor.

Because Wang Jian is now in a state of semi-retirement, the appointment and dismissal of all the generals in the army and the assessment will either be handed over to the emperor Yingzheng, or he will let Che Ting, the captain of the army, decide by himself.

Wang Jian plans to resign from Emperor Yingzheng on the grounds of being old at the end of this year.This is a way for Wang Jian to protect his family, and he is advancing by retreating!Wang Jian knew that Ying Zheng wanted to promote young and capable officials, and he had made too much contribution, so he took the initiative to retire.

Different from Wang Jian, after listening to Li Si, he began to plan how to secretly mention this matter to the emperor, and how to subtly agree when the emperor asked.

Afterwards, Li Si began to contact the officials of the same faction, planning to agree with the emperor if he mentioned this matter at the court meeting!

A martial arts competition caused half of the officials in Xianyang to discuss in private, and each started to move around.

This makes Anbu very puzzled, what exactly are Li Si's family and Wang Jian's family plotting?
Anbu activated the chess pieces that infiltrated the homes of various officials and began to inquire about news.

******************************
Three days later, according to the usual practice, Xiang Yu, Wang Li, and Li You had to go to the Qilin Hall with all the princes to be admitted to the school by Yingzheng.

Xiang Yu and the others were outside the hall, while Fusu and the others inside the hall came out after the school examinations.

Both Fusu and Jianglu showed joy, while the other princes were downcast.Obviously, Fu Su and Jiang Lu were praised by Ying Zheng!
Three people including Xiang Yu and Wang Li also went in.When Yingzheng took the school examination, the prince and his companions were together.Xiang Yu knew that Ying Zheng should be doing this to protect the face of his descendants.From this point of view, Ying Zheng is still a father who loves his children.

Because every other day, Ying Zheng would summon the doctor to ask where the prince's studies had gone, so most of the questions Ying Zheng asked were among the books he had studied recently, and there were few others.

All three of Xiang Yu answered Ying Zheng's questions fluently, and Xiang Yu's answer was the best, because Xiang Yu added his own understanding in addition to the explanation taught by the doctors.

After the school exam, Ying Zheng said: "It's better for you, Xiang Yu, to understand what you have learned and connect them with reality. It's very good!"

"My lord, thank you for your compliment!" Xiang Yu bowed his hands and thanked him humbly.

"The whole of Xianyang is a bit chaotic recently! Wang Li, Li You, do you know why the elders in the family contact officials everywhere?" Ying Zheng asked Li You and Wang Li with burning eyes.

Hearing Ying Zheng's question, the two looked at each other, then at Xiang Yu as if asking Xiang Yu to answer.

Ying Zheng watched the two people look at Xiang Yu, guessed that it might be related to Xiang Yu, and asked softly: "It seems that Xiang Yu knows! Tell me!"

Although the tone was very light, but mixed with a tone that could not be perfunctory, Xiang Yu knew that the opportunity had come.

"Your Majesty! I just admired those rangers with high martial arts skills on a whim. After discussing with Wang Li and others, I thought why not hold a martial arts tournament to have fun!" Xiang Yu said slowly, cupping his hands.

"Oh? Tournament?" Ying Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard about the tournament.Then he asked again: "Is this martial arts tournament inviting heroes from all over the world? Or?"

"Since it is a martial arts competition, of course heroes and knight-errants from all over the world are invited to compete! The winner can eat and drink in my Zuixianju for three years!" Xiang Yu replied immediately.

Xiang Yu knew that no matter who was a warrior, apart from being keen on fighting, he also loved good wine.Therefore, a prize was proposed for the winner to eat and drink for free in Zuixianju for three years.

Ying Zheng already understood why the officials and generals of Li Si and Wang Jian's faction had frequent contacts in the past few days, and Ying Zheng also supported this martial arts competition!However, he was a little worried, worried that these rangers and heroes would cause chaos in Xianyang after they came to Xianyang!
However, Ying Zheng would not tell Xiang Yu and others.

"I agree with your idea! Go back and prepare well. I will add a reward. The winner will get ten thousand dollars and be exempted from hard labor for life!" Ying Zheng said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!" Xiang Yu bowed his hands and thanked him knowing that his goal had been achieved.

*************************
Xiang Yu and the others left the palace and went home after the school examination, while Ying Zheng summoned Li Si, Wang Jian, Wang Wan, Feng Quji, Meng Wu, Meng Yi, and Zi Che Ting.

Among the seven, except for Mengshi and his son, the others more or less knew why the emperor summoned them.

When everyone arrived at the Qilin Hall, they first saluted the emperor Yingzheng, and then sat down according to the emperor's ranking.

The first person in the left column is Guo Wei Wang Jian, and the first one in the right column is Prime Minister Wang Wan.It can be seen that Ying Zheng still prefers generals in his heart.

Zhao Gao was waiting on the sidelines, and Ying Zheng sat on the main seat, looking at the seven important ministers below.I saw Meng Wu and Wang Jian wandering in the sky, as if they meant that they would not speak unless they asked, while Wang Wan and Feng Quji looked at the crowd, Li Si and Zi Che Ting bowed their heads in deep thought, Meng Yi and I usually sit upright.

"Prime Minister! Do you know why I called you here?" Ying Zheng asked by name when he saw that no one was asking.

"I don't know! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Wang Wan immediately handed over her hands and confessed.

Yingzheng was very displeased, he didn't like the prime minister Wang Wan very much, because he was a veteran of the three dynasties and always relied on the old to sell the old!
"Since you all don't know! Then I will talk about it!" Ying Zheng said after seeing that no one dared to come out to guess after Wang Wan pleaded guilty.

"A while ago, Wang Li, Li You, and Xiang Yu asked me if we could hold a martial arts competition! After thinking about it, I thought it could be held, so I agreed! But holding this martial arts competition will definitely cause chaos in Xianyang in a short time! So Call all ministers and businessmen to discuss what to do!" Ying Zheng didn't ask whether it is possible to hold a martial arts tournament, but directly asked how to maintain law and order.

This made Wang Wan and Feng Quji's mental drafting in vain. They knew that Ying Zheng's decision was unchangeable, so they stopped talking!
