It was a foregone conclusion that Cao Cao would become the Minister of War.
After leaving the court, Ying Yuan personally handed the military order that could mobilize 150,000 troops in Xianyang City to Cao Cao.
now.
Inside the Xuanzheng Hall.
Ying Yuan was closing his eyes in deep thought.
I just came here and there are some things I need to clarify.
For example, the death of the predecessor.
He still has no idea who poisoned him.
Although the current situation is that I want to die, I still have to find out who killed my predecessor.
I searched through my previous life's memories, but still found nothing.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Arriving at the temple gate, he stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the endless expanse of red bricks and green tiles, and muttered:
"At this moment, Cao Cao should be thinking about how to seize power and usurp the throne or coerce me, right?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded, disrupting his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, the Empress knows you just finished your morning court session, and she sent a bowl of plum blossoms for you to enjoy. She's waiting outside the palace."
After hearing the sound, Ying Yuan realized that there was a queen in his previous life.
Moreover, that queen was Daji!
The famous witch queen in the late Shang Dynasty!
She is regarded by the world as a beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people!
Even though people have many complaints about Daji, no matter what, one thing cannot be denied!
That is, Daji is an unparalleled beauty!
Otherwise, King Zhou would not have fallen in love with her.
However, his predecessor never favored Daji from beginning to end.
The reason was that when his previous incarnation was a prince, there was a woman he liked and wanted to marry her as his princess.
Later, the late emperor disagreed and forced Daji to marry him.
He was angry, but he didn't expect that this anger would last for so many years.
He then neglected Daji.
"Let them take it to the palace, and then send someone to tell the queen that she has the intention." Ying Yuan said softly.
Zhao Gao, who was standing next to him, was stunned when he heard the voice.
What does this mean, Your Majesty?
In the past, when I heard that the Queen was coming to deliver delicious food, I would sneer at her.
The emperor's affairs were not something that a mere Minister of the Imperial Chariots could discuss.
Afterwards, he did what Ying Yuan instructed.
Then, Ying Yuan suddenly noticed a guard beside him. He looked very heroic. Curious, he couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?"
Upon hearing the emperor's question, the guard immediately half-knelt on the ground, clasped his fists, and said, "Your Majesty, I am Pan Feng, the commander of the imperial guards. I greet you! The late, unrivaled General Pan Mei was none other than my brother!"
Hearing his name, Ying Yuan instantly became interested.
Pan Feng?
Is he the unrivaled general Pan Feng who was defeated by Hua Xiong after only three rounds?
It seems that your brother has taken away the title that belongs to you.
'Unparalleled General' is just an honorary title in the Qin Dynasty. Some powerful generals who are recognized by the emperor can bear this title.
His status is equal to that of a third-rank military general.
"This Pan Feng looks quite large, but he's just a useless piece of shit. Okay, I must make use of such a talent as much as possible."
When Ying Yuan thought of this, an idea suddenly came to his mind. He looked at Pan Feng and said bluntly:
"So you are the descendant of a loyal and righteous man. How about this? I will let you inherit your brother's title. From now on, you will be the new unparalleled general of my Great Qin.
Right now, the Minister of War, Cao Cao, needs a vanguard general. You should go there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Feng's eyes widened in disbelief.
Vanguard General?
That is what I have always dreamed of!
Now, Cao Cao serves as the Minister of War and is in charge of the resistance against the enemy. He has long intended to charge into the enemy army and avenge his brother.
Now, I finally have this opportunity.
And this opportunity was given by His Majesty the Emperor!
Pan Feng took a deep breath, then kowtowed and knelt down, saying:
"General Pan Feng, I thank Your Majesty for your grace. I will live up to your trust. For Your Majesty and the Great Qin, I will sacrifice my life and my soul, even if I die, and never regret it!"
Ying Yuan smiled, said nothing, and just waved his hand.
It indicated that Pan Feng could take up the post immediately.
He could not help but think that soon news would come from the front line that the vanguard general Pan Feng was beheaded by the enemy in three rounds.
The title of Peerless General is just an honorary title, while the title of Vanguard General is a real military official position.
......
at the same time.
At Cai Jing's residence.
Qin Hui, Li Linfu and others sat around in the main hall.
They were discussing Ying Yuan's various changes and decisions in the court today.
"Our Majesty is acting strangely today. He's always been cowardly, ignorant of state affairs, and only interested in pleasure. I don't know what's wrong with him today."
"Perhaps we have never seen through His Majesty, and we have always thought that he is a tyrant. On the other hand, what if he is not?"
"Assigning an unknown brat to the position of Minister of War—isn't that a foolish move? Furthermore, you're giving him sole command of the military without even appointing a military supervisor. Isn't Your Majesty afraid of another figure like the Four Expeditionary Generals emerging?"
"I think he just didn't want to move south, fearing the eternal infamy he would bear. So, desperately trying all sorts of methods, he appointed a mere cavalry captain as the Minister of War!"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the main hall, "Master, there's news from the palace that His Majesty has personally appointed Pan Mei's brother Pan Feng as the Unparalleled General and has also appointed him as the Vanguard General."
Hear the sound.
All the ministers looked at Cai Jing.
