When the envoys sent by the three vassal states, Yan, Wei, and Southern Han, rushed to Qin State almost at about the same time, Qin King Nie Feng was watching the team escorting the ransoms out of Feng'an City with his own eyes.

A total of 600,000 taels of gold was an extremely heavy price for Qin, which had the strongest national strength. Looking at the escort team that was gone, the eyes of several ministers of the Qin King's Court were filled with endless anger.

"King! You agreed to Zhao Guoshu's unreasonable request so easily. I am always worried!"

The Qin Prime Minister Xu Gong looked ugly. In the past few days, he and his doctor, Sun Liang and others have been firmly opposed to paying the ransom. However, the Qin King finally made a decision. Now he has been walking away with a convoy full of gold, and even if they oppose it, it will be useless.

"Mr. Xu, don't talk about this. The lives of soldiers are the most precious. As long as they can get back alive and lose some money, it's nothing."

Nie Feng's face was very calm. Any thoughts in his heart could never be seen from his appearance by outsiders. This king with a bearded face looked very tall and mighty. If the first time meeting someone would easily regard him as a reckless and incompetent brave man, but in fact, only those who have truly experienced his scheming will know how terrible it is.

"King, what Mr. Xu said is actually what we thought. Alas! The loss this time is really too serious. In the past few years, in order to help the king realize his heroic career as soon as possible, the officials from both inside and outside the Wang Court have worked hard and fulfilled their duties... They finally saved up these family backgrounds. However, they were cheated out by the people of Zhao at once! Six hundred thousand gold! I remember that my heart was bleeding!"

The senior doctor, Sun Liang, couldn't help but choke up and said. Thinking of the hardships he had experienced, although the journey was complete, he was unwilling to accept it no matter what.

"Yes, King... This is a heavy burden that Qin State cannot bear! Although the king cherishes the lives of soldiers and has no choice but to agree to the request of the people of Zhao, this matter cannot be forgotten. Someone must be responsible!"

Another minister was angry, obviously speaking insignificant. Several other important ministers of the State Council also echoed and began to point their fingers at the culprit who led to the defeat. The King of Qin frowned and sighed secretly. He knew in his heart that his attempt to suppress the dispute with a quick knife would probably be difficult to achieve.

"You guys, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, it is just a failure of a war, so why should this be so? What's more, there is no general who doesn't want to win a battle! Most of the responsibility for this failure is the Lone King. It's because I despised the power of the people of Zhao too much, so that the soldiers who went out to fight caused such great damage... Alas!"

"Don't take the lead for others! I have heard that over the years, because of the strong national strength, the generals have become too proud. Humph! The arrogant generals have a long history... If Qin cannot learn from this great defeat, they may suffer greater losses in the future! In order to strictly enforce military discipline and alert all the generals, I believe that the responsibility for the defeat this time must be severely punished!"

The uncle Sun Liang of the senior doctor is a guy who is not good at soft and hard. The civil and military affairs of Qin have been incompatible for a long time. In many major events, it has almost reached the point where water and fire are incompatible. This time, if you don’t take the opportunity to take a severe blow, when will you wait!

The person with this kind of mind is not just himself, but everyone knows it, including most important officials of the Wang court. Therefore, they took the opportunity to attack. Their breakthrough this time was Wang Jian, the general captured by the Zhao people and the Wang family behind him.

As the saying goes, every family has a difficult sutra to recite. And isn’t it the same in the country? It has to be said that the civil and military disagreement of Qin State has become more and more serious as the national strength develops. Qin King Nie Feng has long realized the inappropriate problem of this problem. He has tried several ways to resolve this contradiction, but the results have been very little. Sometimes even he feels helpless.

The origin of all this, in addition to the reason why the Qin generals have always been arrogant, is that Wei Yang made great progress in reform and established military merit as the first-class promotion merit.

The two major national sages recognized by the Qin people were Wei Yang in front and Wei Wu Zi in the later period. The person who caused Qin to truly start from weakness to prosperity was undoubtedly the Wei Yangzi who created many new reform policies.

Back then, the former kings entrusted all the national affairs to Wei Yangzi with the supreme courtesy, allowing him to make new changes. The man who was a genius lived up to the hope of the king. In less than ten years, he led the Qin State on a path of strong development with his own strength. The basis of all this was based on strengthening the combat effectiveness of the army.

Determining the Lord by military merits is the most inspiring policy established by Qin alone. All lieutenant generals, regardless of their identity, on the battlefield, will determine their merits according to the merits they have made and the number of enemies killed. Such a policy eliminates the various unequal methods of evaluating military merits that have been used among the vassal states in the world, greatly encouraging the soldiers in the army to fight on the battlefield.

It was from that time that he bravely stepped onto the battlefield and seized fame and wealth with his sword and long spear in his hand, which became the biggest target of the Qin warriors. The effect was obvious. The combat effectiveness of the Qin army had made rapid progress, surpassing the princes of various countries in a very short time, almost surpassing the world.

However, everything in the world always has its advantages and disadvantages. With such a simple ladder of promotion, many brave men in the army naturally no longer have to rely on the scholars and officials and nobles in addition to being loyal to the King of Qin, and thus the contradiction began to arise.

To this day, the civil officials group headed by Prime Minister Xu Gong and Shangda Doctor Shusun Liang often find it difficult to get common opinions on many things. It has been a long time since the confrontation and refusal to give in to each other!

King Nie Fengdong of Qin did not use tough measures to stop this conflict between civil and military officials for a long time because in many things, the struggle between civil and military ministers was beneficial to him. The King of Qin, who was a hero, knew very well that the so-called kingly means were just playing with balance. It is still necessary to want to have a stable ruling position, tolerate or appropriately indulge these guys to compete with each other.

However, just today, when he noticed that the civil officials, led by the Prime Minister, wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble, he was still extremely angry. These guys were simply confused for power, right? Don’t look at what time it is now! He felt that he should show his supreme majesty.

"Doctor, what do you mean? General Wang Jian and more than 50,000 soldiers under his command were forced to surrender. In the circumstances at that time, it was actually a correct choice. The Lone King never thought that all deaths in battle were the best loyalty to the country. If they could save their lives, know their shame and then be brave, and use practical actions to wash away the shame, they would be the bravest warriors... I believe that General Wang Jian and others also considered this way."

The tone of Qin was a bit serious, which clearly showed his displeasure. As long as he was not a fool, anyone could hear his intention to protect Wang Jian. However, unexpectedly, Sun Liang, the uncle of the doctor, didn't know what evil he was going to today. He stubbornly stubbornly confronted him directly.

"What a brave general who defeated the army is worthy of courage! The king does this like stealing a bell, and it only makes outsiders laugh at me!"

"Uncle Sun Liang! Do you know what you are talking about? Isn't it the minister to take revenge in such a way? Where are the warriors on both sides? Give him to me..."

The King of Qin was furious and was about to have an attack on the spot. He taught his uncle Sun Liang a lesson. The tiger did not show his power and really thought it was a sick cat! However, before he could finish his order, someone had already rushed over from the side and bowed to him.

"Don't rest ashamed of anger! What the Supreme Doctor said is out of public interest. When the army is defeated, it is not advisable to blame the ministers. Otherwise, if it is spread, it may be a disadvantage to the outside world's discussion!"

The King of Qin looked down at the young son Nie Wushuang, who was still looking like a dusty look on his face. His son who escaped from the State of Zhao was very distressed. Since he was coming out to plead with mercy, he would certainly not make any more fuss. What's more, he didn't want to do anything to his uncle Sun Liang, but just scared him and let him know some of his duties.

"The end of this matter, the Lone King has his own sense of responsibility. Humph! You all retreat!"

Seeing that the King of Qin was really angry, Prime Minister Xu Gong and Uncle Sun Liang looked at each other. They originally wanted to take this opportunity to attack Wang Jian's family hard, but now they are unwilling to accept it. Although they both felt unwilling to accept it, they had no choice but to bow down the steps and retreat. Before leaving, Uncle Sun Liang gave Nie Wushuang a thankful look. The young master secretly made a gesture to him, and they understood each other, and many things were ignored.

"The young master is still very good. It would be great if he could take power earlier..."

After walking out of the hall, Uncle Sun Liang muttered to himself. Mr. Xu made a gesture of silence at him, but nodded, and then the two of them whispered softly and walked forward side by side. The King of Qin was too heavy on the generals, and even now he was increasingly favoring them. This made many of them feel dissatisfied.

Who would have thought that Qin, whose overall strength is far superior to other vassal states, may have many internal disasters that have already sprouted quietly in the secret.

After everyone in the hall withdrew, Nie Wushuang, who was exhausted, finally had the opportunity to ask his father what he was in his heart.
