Chapter 79 The Game of Powers

This morning morning was full of good news. First, the Qin Dynasty successfully formed an alliance with Yuezhi. The prince wanted to marry Princess Jingshu as his wife. Later, he received a report from Bai Qi. Han was afraid of the strong Qin and joined forces with the Wei State to control the Qin army. As a result, Bai Qi lived up to expectations and wiped out 240,000 Han and Wei coalition forces, killed the main general Xiwu, captured the Wei army's commander Gongsun Xi and executed them, and occupied Yique and five cities. Bai Qi was in the limelight for a while.

"...I saw that Han and Wei were watching each other, but they were unwilling to take the lead, so I sent suspicious soldiers to suppress the main force of the coalition forces of the Han army, and sent our main force of the Qin army to attack the weaker combat power of the Wei army... The Wei army was unprepared and responded hastily and was defeated immediately. The flanks of the Han army were exposed. When the Han army learned that the Wei army on its flanks were instantly defeated, the morale of the army was unstable, the soldiers mutiny, Xiwu was incompetent, and could not control the decline. They were defeated by our Qin soldiers and fled. Our army took advantage of the situation to pursue and wiped out 240,000 Han and Wei coalition forces... Wei and Han sent envoys to cede the territory and seek peace!"

After closing the battle report, King Zhao couldn't help laughing, and all the civil and military officials were smiling. Fan Sui congratulated: "Congratulations to the King, congratulations to the King, the battle of Yique showed the heroic spirit of our Great Qin, and the main force of Han was completely lost. From then on, we were unable to compete with our Great Qin. As long as Han annex Han, Wei will definitely not survive for a long time. Zhao was invaded by the Huns, Chu had no ambitions, and our Great Qin was expected to have great events!"

"Okay! OK!" King Zhao was overjoyed. Since he used Fan Sui, Qin State has gained benefits everywhere. Fan Sui is very talented and rarely can think of what he thinks. Such a person can use it easily.

His eyes swept over Wei Ran in the front row, and he didn't know what his mother had talked to him. The prime minister of the Qin Dynasty went to court again. Unlike before, there were fewer civil servants who were concerned about their well-being. Most of them said hello politely and stopped approaching. They looked at their noses and their noses, and their hearts were very solemn. It was not until Fan Sui entered the hall that these people's faces were full of smiles, talking about the weather and family matters, and they were extremely enthusiastic.

This is the charm of power. What the Lone King gives you is yours. If you don’t think too much about it, it’s not yours. It’s not good to stretch your hands too long.

The court was filled with praises. King Zhao waved his hand and signaled him. Then everyone calmed down. Yesterday, Wei Ran said he was sick twice and asked to resign and asked to return to his fiefdom to recuperate. The reply at that time was only two words, so it was not accurate. If you resign again today, it would be accurate. You have to worry about face.

Sure enough, Wei Ran bowed out of the line, coughed twice, and said weakly: "The old minister Wei Ran is incompatible and is no longer able to bear the command of the king. I hereby resign and ask the king to let the old minister go back to his fiefdom to recuperate."

King Zhao said seriously: "Since the Prime Minister insists on this, it is not easy for me to force others to do anything. The Prime Minister will take good care of his life in the fiefdom and adjust his body and enter the court. The King Ordinary still needs the Prime Minister's assistance."

A hint of joy flashed across Fan Sui's eyes. Wei Ran asked to resign. The position of prime minister must need to be replaced. Isn't it just for this position below ten thousand people? Now that he is in the court, who can't fight with him? Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the people he had known. Seeing that, he smiled and nodded silently at himself. He was very confident that the position of prime minister would definitely fall into the hands of my Fan Sui!

King Zhao comforted Wei Ran a few words, changed the subject and indeed mentioned the candidate for the prime minister.

"The position of Prime Minister should not be suspended for a long time. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Report to the king, there is someone to choose me." As soon as King Zhao finished speaking, the senior official Sima Shang took the lead and replied with his hand.

Fan Sui was stunned. Sima Shang was honest and had no obvious factional traces. In addition, his position was not a vital department. So no one took this honest person seriously, whether it was Wei Ran or Fan Sui. Who knew that the first person to speak out today was strange. I just didn't know who would recommend it?

King Zhao's expression remained unchanged and said warmly: "Who is Sima recommended?"

Sima Shanggong said, "I think the guest Shouzhu is an upright and steady person. I worked hard for the Qin Dynasty for many years, diligent and without any faults. The position of Prime Minister is the right hand of the king, and there will be no mistakes. Therefore, I think Shouzhu can be the prime minister."

"Yeah." King Zhao nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask, "Everyone, do you have any recommendations?"

Fan Sui lowered his eyes, but Yu Guang never left King Zhao's expression. Although King Zhao had always been very solemn, the look of satisfaction just now sounded the alarm bell in Fan Sui's heart. He put his hand behind him and made a secret gesture. The censor who was originally planning to make a comment forced to stop his legs that were about to step out, his face was a little strange, but he didn't say much.

Fan Sui adjusted his expression and stood up and went out and said, "I also think that Shouzhu is a reliable person who can be entrusted with him. He deserves the position of Prime Minister."

"Hahahaha." King Zhao laughed, very satisfied with Fan Sui's performance, and said, "Since Fan Qing thinks so, there will definitely be no mistakes. Let the birthday candle be the prime minister."

After making arrangements, the ministers were asked to retreat to the court when they saw nothing else. As soon as they walked to the side hall, they saw Queen Xuan’s close aunt waiting beside him. King Zhao asked with a smile: “Aunt is waiting here, is there something wrong?”

The aunt replied respectfully: "I am waiting for the king here because Princess Jingshu is about to arrive in Daqin soon, and Xia Ji and his son also need arrangements, so the queen mother wants to invite the king to come over."

"Okay, I think I haven't visited my mother for some time, so let's go now." King Zhao replied with a smile. Jingshu was about to become the crown princess. Thinking of Ying Guang's expression when he learned the news, King Zhao was in a particularly good mood. The world can only be his own world. Giving people hope to destroy hope is the privilege of the power controller. Now the game has just begun, Ying Guang is just a adjustment of his own game, and that's all. No one understands the emperor's thoughts, and no one dares to understand.

The wind was blowing, and it was a little cool. Fortunately, the wind was not strong, and the little coldness that was carried could no longer hurt people's skin. However, on the grassland without any cover, the strong wind began to shout and the whip people could not see it.

Jingshu got on the wedding car again, and there was no sadness and joy on her face. She was a smart person. Maybe she knew the fate of being a princess early on. Since she was destined to be delivered like goods, then think about how to make herself more valuable. Only valuable goods can win the market and make a way out for herself.

He looked at Qiao'er with pity. This girl was so bitter that she had been running around and didn't enjoy any blessings. Now, she was sleeping soundly on the wall of the car, and she didn't even hear the ghost-like roar outside the car. Just go to bed, but she kept muttering, "Who is wrong, you girl, but you just recite his name over and over again."

Turning your body sideways and making yourself feel more comfortable. Ying Guang understands himself, just like he understands him. Therefore, Qiao'er's thoughts are destined to be a luxury, and Ying Guang will not come to save him.

Suddenly, a roar came from outside, and then there was a crazy sound of fighting. The figure outside the curtain of the car, and the pungent smell of blood came in through the crack of the window. Qiao'er jumped up excitedly and pulled herself and said that Ying Guang, the dead man, would come to save us. She pulled her sleeves and was about to lie on the crack of the window and look out. While looking, she wondered why those people rushed towards the largest car like crazy. Don't they know that the princess was in this small car?
