Chapter 26 Loyal Minister Han Tan
"Join the war?" Caiwei couldn't associate these two words with the Mo family.
"Ancestor Mo Zhai also helped innocent small countries fight against big vassal countries. At that time, our ancestors just wanted to keep small countries alive. I not only want to help small countries fight against big countries, but also destroy big countries." Ling Fen's eyes flashed with an unprecedented light.
"Master, do you mean to help Ziying?" Caiwei opened her mouth slightly. If Lingfen really went to help Ziying, how on earth would he avenge this revenge?
"I want to help Youdao Jun. Whether that person is Ziying or not, we need to observe for a few more days." Lingfen explained.
Caiwei understood the abilities of the Mohist giant, and what he had built made it easy to attack a city and overthrow it, and to defend the wall and make the city unbreakable.
He clenched his fists tightly to prevent Ziying from being burned.
"Master, although Xiang Yu under King Huai of Chu is cruel, Liu Bang marched all the way and did nothing with the people in the ruined city. He is the one truly worthy of assistance." Caiwei said anxiously.
"Liu Bang?" Lingfen murmured, "Liu Bang had an affair with Cao's wife before marrying Lu, and they had a daughter. I disdain to be associated with such a person."
"There are tens of thousands of beauties in Ziying's harem, but he is even more outrageous than Liu Bang." Caiwei was determined to destroy Ziying.
Lingfen nodded knowingly, "You really need to pay more attention to this."
...
It was windy in Xianyang, Ziying was driving a carriage at high speed, and the little alcohol in his body had long since been wiped out.
"I seemed to have cursed Lingfen just now..." Ziying stood in front of the palace gate, holding his forehead.
The Mohist giant walked among the princes and kingdoms without any harm, but Ling Fen's martial arts skills were definitely not comparable to that of Zi Ying.
Ziying subconsciously touched his body randomly, "Fortunately I left in time, otherwise Great Qin wouldn't even be able to find the next King of Qin."
"Next time you go out of the palace, you must bring some people."
Ziying took off his flip-up shoes and sat down outside the palace gate to catch his breath.
The eunuch trotted all the way to Ziying. Ziying saw that it was the eunuch who was in the hall just now.
Seeing Ziying sitting on the ground, the eunuch hurriedly helped him up and said, "The king has his own throne to sit on. You must not sit or lie down at will."
The eunuch's conversation was extraordinary, and he could learn about the origin of the jade pendant in the main hall, which made Ziying curious.
"Have you done what I asked you to do to inform Feng Chang? What are you doing here?" Ziying asked casually.
"Go back to the king. It's done, but the funeral of Marquis Wucheng cannot be held tomorrow. I'm going to consult with the king." The eunuch said with some embarrassment.
"What do you mean?" Ziying's tone was cold, "You can also cause problems for such a big thing!"
Ziying originally had a good temper, but when he became the King of Qin for no reason, his temper became slightly worse.
The eunuch hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a problem of servants. It is actually that some official positions are vacant during the funeral."
"Which ones?" Ziying asked.
"Xianyang Order." The young eunuch replied.
Ziying covered his head and actually forgot about it.
Zhao Gao's son-in-law Yan Le was originally the Xianyang Order. Yan Le was killed in the harem last night and this position is still vacant.
The appointment and promotion of officials could be completed by the prime minister, but Zhao Gao was also killed...
Ziying planned to leave the position to Yang Duan and his eldest son Yang Chen. After becoming the commander, Yang Chen's conversation yesterday was not bad, and he was more than enough to serve as the Xianyang order.
As for the Prime Minister... Ziying really can't make up his mind.
The name Wei Liao flashed through Ziying's mind. One of the Four Saints of Military Sages was indeed the best choice for the Prime Minister, but he really didn't want to bother those veterans anymore. Considering that Wei Liao and Yang Duanhe were about the same age,
Even if he is alive, his body is going to die soon.
The position of the prime minister is the core of a country. If Li Si is there, the law will be strict, and if Zhao Gao is there, the government will be chaotic. It is better to be absent than to overdo it, or at worst, it will be vacant. Promote Zhao to become the prime minister, and serve as the prime minister's deputy temporarily.
Ziying noticed something and looked the eunuch up and down.
Just now the eunuch could have clearly said that the prime minister position was vacant. During the funeral, the prime minister would stand next to Ziying. His importance was far greater than that of the Xianyang Order. He deliberately said that the Xianyang Order was just to save face for Ziying.
This kind of subordinate is smart enough and makes Ziying much more comfortable than the flattering one.
"What's your name?" Ziying asked.
"It's fine for me as a servant to serve the king. The king doesn't need to know his name." The eunuch replied respectfully.
"Speak quickly, or I will punish you for deceiving the emperor." Ziying threatened.
"Slave... my surname is Han and my name is Tan." The eunuch was helpless.
"Han...Tan?" Ziying recalled the name carefully in his mind, "Are you the Han Tan who teamed up with Ziying to kill Zhao Gao?!"
Han Tan didn't understand what Ziying meant, "Zhao Gao was killed by the king and Zhao Cheng together, and the slave did not participate."
Back then, Ziying was not the one who ambushed Zhao Gao alone. Han Tan had long been dissatisfied with Zhao Gao's monopoly. Only with the cooperation of the two parties could he coax Zhao Gao to see Ziying.
Unfortunately, after the death of Qin, Han Tan disappeared.
"If I say you participated, then you did." Ziying said forcefully, "From today on, I will be promoted to the rank of doctor. You will be in charge of the palace guards. I can rest assured."
"This... Lang Zhongling is not vacant. How can a servant be so virtuous that he can occupy a magpie's nest?" Han Tan couldn't believe it. For some inexplicable reason, he could be directly promoted from eunuch to Lang Zhongling, one of the nine ministers.
"Then let the former doctor Zhongling be your deputy. Han Aiqing must not refuse." Ziying's tone was firm and she could not help but refuse.
Han Tan quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I have thanked the King and am willing to do my best for His Majesty."
Ziying was secretly proud. Han Tan deserved these things. When Zhao Gao was in power, he dared to seek refuge with Ziying, who had just ascended the throne. This showed his loyalty to Qin. Such talents are rare.
The appearance of Han Tan somewhat made up for Ziying's worries due to the passing of the two commanders.
In order to ensure that there would be no accidents at tomorrow's funeral, Ziying needed to meet someone, a person that he could not figure out for the time being.
"Han Aiqing, please quickly tell the guards to call Zhao Cheng." Ziying said. The things promised to Zhao Cheng that day had not yet been fulfilled. Ziying was afraid that this savior had other intentions.
"This Zhao Cheng is Zhao Gao's younger brother. Seeing Zhao Gao being stabbed by a sword in the court hall showed no signs of sadness, which shows that he is a cold-blooded person. It would be better for the king to stay away from him," Han Tan advised.
"I promised him a large reward. You have no words to say. I love you, so go ahead and do it." Ziying said.
"No." Han Tan responded and retreated.
After Han Tan left, Ziying looked south warily. Zhao Gao's head was still hanging there and would only be taken down in three days. Ziying didn't know how Zhao Cheng would feel when he saw his brother's head alone.
Will the nine tribes who did not kill Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao's family, and Yan Le's family be grateful, or will they wait for an opportunity to seek revenge?
