Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 685: Chapter 278: Ying Zheng’s Delight! Urging Zhao Feng! (Part 2)

Even if it’s the king of a foreign land, this is no trivial matter.

Even if it’s the king of an enemy nation, ultimately only the King of Qin can judge.

However.

Zhao Feng thought there might be court officials coming to impeach him this time.

But at this point, after Wang Wan’s previous example, the court remained silent on the matter, not one dared to impeach.

Even Chunyu Yue, who was once the fiercest.

He dared not speak.

Obviously.

Zhao Feng used his methods to let the whole court know he was a person who avenged every grievance, dare to offend him, dare to confront him, then be clear about the consequences of being targeted by him.

Now!

After hearing this triumphant report.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said loudly: ”Lord Wu’an, indeed worthy of being a great minister of Qin.”

”To conquer the capital of Chu in such a short time, truly the Qin War God.”

”As for the King of Chu.”

”He may be young, even akin in age to Lord Wu’an, but compared to the kings of the nations Qin has destroyed.”

”The King of Chu is remarkable.”

”To share life with the nation is the duty of a king.”

”If the nation perishes, yet the king survives, it is a shame.”

”Since the King of Chu seeks death, Lord Wu’an fulfilled his wish, indeed preserving the dignity of a king.”

As Ying Zheng’s voice fell.

The court was filled with cries: ”Great King is wise.”

Even those court officials who intended to impeach Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

”Luckily I didn’t speak up to impeach, otherwise it would have been asking for trouble, and offend Zhao Feng.”

”Zhao Feng is indeed vengeful, unless truly necessary, better not offend him.”

”Wang Wan’s entire clan’s fate is a lesson from the past.”

”Fortunately, I kept silent...”

Many thought privately, cold sweat breaking out.

”The three families of Chu, the three aristocratic families.”

”They completely disregarded the survival of Chu, and now that they have fallen, it indeed clears a problem.”

”In the future, Qin will have one less trouble.” Ying Zheng mused to himself.

In fact.

No need for Zhao Feng to act.

If Zhao Feng really were to receive their surrender, Ying Zheng would not allow such families controlling the military and politics of Chu to emerge, it would be too impactful to the nation’s foundation.

Such families must not appear in Qin either.

”The capital of Chu is conquered.”

”Chu State is considered vanquished.” Feng Quji smiled and said.

”No.”

Yu Liao shook his head: ”Though the capital of Chu is conquered, and the King of Chu is dead, there is still a force in Chu that needs to be eradicated.”

”Is Yu Qing referring to Xiang Yan?” Ying Zheng slowly asked.

”Xiang Yan is a talented general of Chu, and he desires to strengthen Chu, though the capital is conquered and the king is dead, to Xiang Yan, he will certainly not be content to admit defeat, nor surrender, he still commands an army of over a hundred thousand.”

”Furthermore, Mi Qi is still in his hands.”

”If I am correct, Xiang Yan will surely proclaim Mi Qi as king, establish him as a puppet, Xiang Yan will gather troops to resist Qin.” Yu Liao loudly stated.

”Qin’s momentum to unify is set.”

”Not allowing him any antics.”

”Chu is vanquished, what can Xiang Yan do alone?”

”Convey my decree.”

”Wu’an and Hangu, both camps encircle with full force, eliminate Xiang Yan.” Ying Zheng said dominantly.

”Great King is wise.” The court burst into cheers.

”Reporting to Great King.”

”After the fall of Chu, its territory is vast, with a population of nearly twenty million.”

”Now more than half of Chu has been taken, all under military control.”

”Still need capable officials to govern.” Han Fei timely reported.

”Hmm.” Ying Zheng nodded, showing a thoughtful expression.

”According to Chancellor Han, who could go to Chu to assume the governance position?” Ying Zheng asked deeply.

”Reporting to Great King.”

”The territory of Chu is vast, the population numerous.”

”I believe it can temporarily be divided into two areas for governance, needing at least two civil officials to take charge.”

”I recommend my subordinate, Minister of Agriculture Xiao He, who has great talent, I recommend him to be one of the chief officials governing Chu.” Han Fei immediately recommended his person.

”Reporting to Great King.”

”In the past, when Han was vanquished, Senior Minister Yao Jia demonstrated outstanding ability, I recommend Yao Jia for another chief official.” Li Si immediately stood out to recommend.

Witnessing this.

Huai Zhuang couldn’t hold back, and immediately stood up.

”Reporting to Great King.”

”Senior Minister Meng Yi, has great talent, can undertake this important task.” Huai Zhuang immediately stated.

Han Fei said the governance of Chu should have two chief officials for a reason.

One reason is that Chu’s territory is indeed more vast than the other nations Qin has destroyed, and its population greater.

If one person governs, the difficulty is too great, and the authority is too vast, which is not good for royal power.

”Xiao He.”

Ying Zheng thought slightly for a moment and immediately called out.

In response.

Xiao He immediately stood out from the middle of the civil officials’ lineup, with a somewhat anxious mood, bowed and saluted Ying Zheng: ”I am here.”

This was Xiao He’s first time standing in the hall, facing King of Qin directly.

Though he is now a capital official, with considerable authority, managing grain and taxes, at this moment, being the focus of the court, and directly called by the King of Qin, Xiao He naturally felt a bit anxious.

”Your appearance is not bad.”

”Since Chancellor Han took the position of Left Minister, the responsibilities of the Minister of Agriculture have been managed by you.”

”I have read your memorials, very well done, everything is well-organized.”

”You are indeed a great talent.” Ying Zheng praised with a smile.

”As a great Qin minister, it is indeed my duty to serve Qin.” Xiao He immediately responded.

”I believe in your ability, since Chancellor Han recommended you.”

”Put aside your current government affairs for now, go to Chu Territory to govern a region, as long as you govern well, upon your return, I will promote you to the Nine Ministers.” Ying Zheng said to Xiao He.

Besides urging, this was more of a promise.

As long as Xiao He succeeds in governance and returns, he will definitely be further rewarded.

Hearing this!

Xiao He’s face also showed excitement and immediately bowed: ”I will certainly not disgrace the royal decree.”

”As for another person.”

Ying Zheng looked at the recommended Huai Zhuang and Li Si.

”Meng Yi.”

After considering.

Ying Zheng still chose Meng Yi.

After all, Meng Yi indeed has ability, and his family background is trustworthy.

Meanwhile, Li Si’s gaze dimmed.

”I am here.”

Meng Yi immediately stood out and bowed.

”You and Minister Xiao go together to the Chu Territory to govern, each as a Prefectural Governor.” Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

”I will absolutely not disappoint the royal decree.” Meng Yi immediately bowed.

”Great King.”

”The main officials are settled, but assistant officials are still needed.”

”The Chu Territory is vast, even though the army has conquered cities and surrendered many officials from the Chu Regional Office, selection is still needed.”

”These candidates still require great king’s designation.” Han Fei suggested.

”Chancellor Han, the selection of assistant officials will be fully entrusted to you, once the officials are selected, organize a roster and submit it to me, I trust you.” Ying Zheng smiled.

Han Fei immediately bowed: ”Thank you, great king, for your trust, I will definitely not let you down.”

”Alright.”

”Today’s court meeting ends here.”

”Yu Qing.”

”Transmit my edict.”

”Order Zhao Feng to quickly pacify Chu State, after returning to the capital, I will appoint him as the Grand Commandant of Qin, commanding the military power of Qin.” Ying Zheng said with a big laugh.

”I accept the decree.” Yu Liao also responded with a smile.

-----------------

Capital of Chu!

Under Zhao Feng’s divine sense, the minor world has initially developed human habitation.

Rows of wooden houses have already stood at the center of the minor world, extending over a thousand, forming a large village.

The people entering the minor world are also working hard.

Clearing land, farming, logging, building houses.

Everything is in order.

All is developing under the arrangement of Yan Court Secret Agent.

Also developing according to Zhao Feng’s wishes.

”This mid-grade spirit vein entering this world should cause the spiritual energy to surge again.”

”As for the spirit spring eye, I don’t know its effect, I will try it later.”

Thinking of this.

Zhao Feng immediately extracted the rewards from the treasure box.

Directly placed them into the minor world.

The next moment.

Just like when the high-level spirit vein entered earlier.

A dragon shadow rushed into the minor world.

The spiritual energy in the world began surging.

However, ordinary people in the minor world could not feel the surge in spiritual energy.

Only those Yan Court Secret Agents could feel it.

”Next.”

”Is the spirit spring eye, and the spirit stone vein.”

Zhao Feng contemplated again, divine sense shifted.
