Chapter 233: The King of Qin Sweeps the World, Looking Like a Tiger
The previous dynasty occupied seven positions, but this dynasty only has five.
Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Wei Liao, and Wang Wan had made great contributions, and all the officials had nothing to say. They could only look forward to the last position. Originally, if Xiong Qi had not betrayed, this last Jin man would have belonged to Xiong Qi. However, Xiong Qi almost killed all the soldiers of the Qin State in Chu.
Unlike the situations of Zhang Yi, Lu Buwei and Bai Qi, this last golden man would never be given to him.
Immediately, Li Si, Feng Quji and other ministers who boasted of their outstanding achievements looked at Zheng Ge with fiery eyes, expecting Zheng Ge to bestow the glory of the last golden man on them.
The last name lingered on Zheng Ge's lips but was not uttered out for a long time. Looking at the pairs of fiery eyes and excited expressions below, Zheng Ge found it very interesting.
[Who will get the last golden man?] Tianxuan was not very interested in being shaped into a golden man. He lowered his head and his thoughts were flying around in his mind. [Li Si, Han Fei? Unless they compile a brand new Qin law that can ease the current contradictions, their achievements are not enough! Not to mention Li Xin and others...]
When Tianxuan was thinking about who would win the last golden man, he suddenly felt like a thorn in his back. He looked up and met a pair of unfathomable eyes.
"The last golden man, I decided to cast as..."
Following Zheng Ge's words, the ministers in the palace who boasted that their contributions to the Qin State were comparable to those of Bai Qi, Wei Yang, Sima Cuo, Zhang Yi, and Fan Ju all felt their hearts being raised to their throats, hoping that this final glory could fall on themselves.
"Wushuang Jun Tianxuanzi!"
With Zheng Ge's experience, he could naturally sense the nervousness, urgency and impatience coming from his subordinates, and he spoke the name in a rhythmic manner.
As soon as the name "Unparalleled Lord Tianxuanzi" came out, all the Qin civil and military officials in the hall were shocked and looked at Tianxuan. As the person involved, Tianxuan could never have thought that Zheng Ge would give this final glory to him. He was stunned and looked stunned.
The world gathered in one hall, and there was silence, with a hint of resentment brewing.
“Your Majesty, you have to shape the last golden man into the image of Tian Xuanzi, and then enthrone him as king…” The Chief Justice Li Si stepped out, his stern face showing no emotion, but his words were full of reluctance.
"Your Majesty, I do not accept this."
"Your Majesty, Tian Xuanzi is just a young boy, how can he enjoy such an honor?"
……
Although Li Si did not dare to finish his words, there were many hot-tempered people in the Sihai Guiyi Hall. As soon as Li Si started, seven or eight ministers came out to express their dissatisfaction with Zheng Ge giving the final glory to Tianxuan and conferring him the title of Wushuang Jun.
"Quiet!"
The noisy words coming from below made Zheng Ge frown in displeasure. He shouted loudly, like the roar of a dragon, and all the ministers stopped talking.
"In the past, Gan Luo captured more than a dozen cities for our Great Qin without bloodshed. I appointed Gan Luo as Shangqing." After calling off all the ministers, Zheng Ge said on the throne, "Since Tian Xuanzi entered the government: he quelled the rebellion in Yingchuan County, killed Dai Wang Jia, captured Yan's capital Jicheng, trained new cavalry, stopped Xiong Qi's conspiracy, and captured Chu's capital Shouying..."
Zheng Ge listed all the contributions that Tian Xuan had made to the Qin Dynasty one by one, and each contribution was like a ruthless slap in the face of those ministers who expressed dissatisfaction. As Zheng Ge narrated, most of these people showed shame and returned to the train silently. Some even bowed to Tian Xuan and expressed their apologies in this way.
"Tian Xuanzi's contribution to our Great Qin is even greater than Gan Luo's." After listing his achievements, Zheng Ge's tone turned stern, "I have decided to confer him the title of Wushuang Jun and give him the honor of shaping the last golden man into his image. Why not? My dear ministers, if you are not willing, then you can make more contributions to our Great Qin. These twelve golden men are just the first wave."
Speaking of this, Zheng Ge's tone was full of temptation.
"In the future, if someone's achievements are comparable to those of these twelve heroes, I will cast another golden man for him!" "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The indignant ministers were speechless. As Zheng Ge said, although Tianxuan was less than sixteen years old, he had made great contributions in the process of Qin's unification of the world. Finally, Zheng Ge even promised that as long as someone's achievements could be comparable to those of the twelve ministers including Tianxuan, he could cast another golden man.
As the person involved, Tianxuan, although he knew that a golden man would be sculpted in his likeness, which in a sense was like roasting himself on the fire, a warm current still ran through his heart and he bowed to Zhengge to thank him.
"The King of Qin swept across the world, looking like a tiger. He waved his sword to cut through the clouds, and all the princes came to the west. His wise decision came from heaven, and his strategy surpassed all the talents. He gathered his troops and cast a golden man, and the Hangu Pass opened to the east!"
As his heart was surging, Tianxuan's eyes flashed with the ancient style poems written by Li Bai, known as the Immortal Poet. The one that specifically described Zhengge appeared in his mind. He discarded the second half of the poem and turned the first half into a praise of Zhengge, reciting it aloud.
"The King of Qin swept across the world, looking like a tiger."
"Swords are swung to cut through the floating clouds, and all the princes come to the west."
……
In Tianxuan's previous life, no one dared to question the poetry level of Li Bai, who was known as the "Poet Immortal". Before Tianxuan finished speaking, most of the civil and military officials in the Sihai Guiyi Hall were touched. Civil officials such as Li Si and Han Fei glanced at Tianxuan in surprise and began to murmur involuntarily.
"The King of Qin swept across the world, looking like a tiger."
"Swords are swung to cut through the floating clouds, and all the princes come to the west."
"The wise judgment comes from heaven, and the great strategy surpasses all others."
"Withdraw the troops and forge the golden man, and open the Hangu Pass to the east!"
……
At first, only a few people were whispering, but soon it spread to all the civil and military officials in the hall, from Wang Jian, Wei Liao and other important officials with outstanding achievements and prominent status to ordinary officials, all of them had to admit that this poem from Tianxuan's mouth was the best description of their own king, no, it should be His Majesty, and they all began to recite it.
Even Gai Nie and Zhao Gao, who were standing on the left and right of Zheng Ge's steps, began to recite.
"Hahaha."
As the protagonist being described, Zheng Ge particularly likes this poem written by Tian Xuan. He laughs loudly as his ministers recite it. His endless laughter is louder than waves, and it seems to shock the heaven and earth and make them bow down at his feet, showing the demeanor of an unrivaled emperor.
"Tian Xuanzi, your poem is good. I will accept it."
When the memorial tablet is completed and the names of the heroes who died for our Great Qin are engraved on it, this poem will also be engraved on the memorial tablet!"
"Here."
After saying this, Zheng Ge, who was really tired during this period of time, strode to the back hall. The ministers stopped chanting, making the originally melodious and lingering sound disappear, and sang in unison, announcing the end of the first grand court meeting of the Great Qin Empire.
