Chapter 95 Wang Jian is guilty, the Wang family is ashamed of Your Majesty!
Looking at Wang Jian's shocked expression, Ying Zheng was secretly happy.
If Dahei and Xiaohei were here, I would definitely let them see what the true art of rhetoric is!
He couldn't help but think that this kind of admiration was the proper respect for an emperor!
"His Majesty!"
Wang Jian excitedly continued: "You are simply a rare dragon in the world!"
"Before, I was only impressed by your feat of unifying the world, but I always kept my guard up when it came to my personal military prowess."
"But today, I am completely convinced!"
"Moreover, this kind of surrender makes me feel extremely honored!"
"Hahaha, old general, I am honored by your loyalty and praise!"
Ying Zheng laughed heartily, and his laughter echoed in the hall.
Wang Jian also laughed out loud, and that laughter was filled with relief and joy after experiencing many vicissitudes of life.
At this moment, the two veterans who have experienced many battles and won many honors are overwhelmed with joy.
Wang Jian's smile was sincere and brilliant, because his son did not die, but was miraculously promoted to master, and perhaps his lifespan would even surpass his own.
How lucky this is for the Qin Dynasty!
Ying Zheng's joy came from seeing this old general, and his heart instantly felt much calmer.
The old general's words were even more clever. He did not ask how Ying Zheng made the breakthrough, but only praised Ying Zheng's talent.
This is the true style of a wise veteran!
"General Wang, as long as you are here, the Qin Empire will be stable and the army will remain united!"
"I am very relieved to have you, the God of War, by my side!"
Ying Zheng said with emotion, his words revealing sincere emotions.
However, when he heard this, Wang Jian's smile froze instantly, as he thought of his rebellious son.
He stood up suddenly, and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Majesty! Wang Jian is guilty, and the Wang family is unworthy of your Majesty's trust!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, a complicated look flashed across his eyes. He certainly understood what Wang Jian was talking about.
His smile faded, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what is your crime?"
Wang Jian did not stand up, his tone was heavy: "The rebellious son Wang Ben, disregarded the emperor's order, and led his army to join the Thirteenth Prince without authorization."
"This is a crime of treason!"
"Today, I, the old minister, have expelled Wang Ben from my home!"
"Your Majesty, please sentence Wang Ben to death and behead him in public!"
His words were firm and powerful, and his attitude was extremely solemn. Ying Zheng stared at Wang Jian for a moment before he said, "Get up."
"Wang Ben did make a mistake. If it were normal times, I would have executed him."
"However, I have learned about what happened today. His circumstances are justifiable and his death penalty can be spared."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jian let out a long sigh, stood up and remained silent.
His cleverness lies in that he never questioned the First Emperor's decision.
As long as the First Emperor gave an order, he would carry it out.
Your Majesty must have his reasons for doing this.
As a subject, especially one who holds military power, all you need to do is obey without asking why.
If Your Majesty is willing to tell me, I will tell you.
Sure enough, seeing that he was silent, Ying Zheng knew Wang Jian's character very well. Even if it concerned the life and death of his son, he would not ask any more questions.
Ying Zheng sighed and said, "Old General Wang, your family is not the only one that has rebellious sons."
"I!"
"There is also a rebellious son!"
"It was my rebellious son who kidnapped your son Wang Ben!"
Then, Ying Zheng recounted how his thirteenth son tampered with the imperial edict, killed Zhao Gao, and won over the two prime ministers, Meng Yi and Wang Ben, intending to rebel and usurp the throne.
Wang Jian was furious after hearing this: "Your Majesty, although Wang Jian is old, he is still able to take up the sword and go into battle!"
"If you give the order, I will lead my troops into the court today and behead those traitors one by one!"
Even as he finished speaking, his anger had not subsided.
Ying Zheng just shook his head and said, "General Wang, this matter needs further consideration."
"Forget it. I have already figured out what happened to Little Thirteen. Let him make a scene in the court for a while." "I have important matters to attend to in the next two months. When I'm done, I'll come back and deal with them properly."
"but."
When Ying Zheng said this, he turned his gaze to Wang Jian.
"General Wang, I came to see you today and I really have to ask you to come out of retirement."
Wang Jian immediately said, "If your majesty has any orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"very good!"
"Wang Jian, listen to my orders!"
"The general is here!"
"From now on, you will be reinstated as the Grand Marshal of the Qin Army and command all of the Qin Army!"
"Without my order, no one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier, including Ying Heng. Do you understand?"
Wang Jian knelt down again: "I obey your orders!"
"Here, this is my half of the tiger talisman, you keep it first."
"Get up."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Wang Jian stood up, Ying Zheng further explained: "I already know that Wang Ben led more than 30,000 soldiers to quell the rebellion. This was arranged by Xiao Shisan, so it cannot be entirely blamed on him."
"Let Wang Ben and his 30,000 men do what they want. You don't need to pay any attention to them."
"But you must keep a firm grip on the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops. As long as the troops are there, the Qin Empire will not be in turmoil!"
Wang Jian answered firmly: "I now understand what to do!"
Ying Zheng laughed heartily: "Good! General Wang, I am very pleased to see you together today."
"From today on, I will be leaving the city to do some work. Just pretend you have never seen me."
"Two months later, when that rebellious son holds my funeral and ascends the throne, I will naturally return."
"Then you just need to get ready to greet me."
"I obey your order!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Wang Jian watched the First Emperor leave, with an unfathomable look in his eyes.
There are some things that, although he didn't ask, he is not stupid and already has the answers in his heart.
He knew that His Majesty would return soon and sit on the throne again.
Wang Jian already had plans for what to do next.
In the next two months, let Wang Jian clear the obstacles for Your Majesty!
……
The next day, Ying Zheng took Erhei with him, and the three of them rode three horses, left Xianyang City and headed straight for the suburbs east of the city.
And in the court.
A heavyweight old general who had not been seen for many years, wearing armor and holding a tiger talisman to mobilize troops, summoned all the generals and slapped each of them in the face. No one dared to resist.
Wang Jian is the god in the army.
All the generals in the Qin Dynasty were once his subordinates.
What's more, he is holding the tiger talisman at this moment.
Except for the generals guarding the border, everyone lined up and knelt in front of Wang Jian.
In this way, the military power instantly returned to Wang Jian's hands.
No matter how capable the Thirteenth Young Master is, he is just a Young Master after all. The military god of the Great Qin has appeared and the military power has been taken back in an instant!
At this time, Ying Heng, who had heard the news, was in his own manor, slightly surprised: "Why did General Wang come out of retirement?"
"The tiger talisman is actually in his hand?"
"No wonder I couldn't find my father's tiger talisman from Zhao Gao!"
"It seems that I tricked his son away and made him angry!"
At this time, Qinglong, who came to report, asked, "Sir, do you want me to collect some evidence of General Wang Jian's corruption?"
