My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

pain!

It hurts so much!

There is a strong tear, conflict and collision between ideal and reality.

Lu Buwei fought for his ideals all his life.

However, under Ying Zheng's cross-examination, Lu Buwei's bottom-level ideological theory revealed its fragility and inconsistency.

The most heartbreaking thing in the world is this!

Reality seemed to be ruthlessly mocking Lu Buwei's efforts.

Go and fight!

Go and fight desperately!

But you are starting in the wrong direction. The more you struggle, the further away you will be from your goal!

After a long time, Ying Zheng asked in a worried voice: "Father Zhong, are you okay?"

Lu Buwei came back to his senses and forced a smile: "I'm fine."

Ying Zheng then asked directly: "I have already decided on the reward, will Father Zhong continue to impose punishment?"

Lu Buwei sighed softly, faced the ministers and spoke loudly:

"Pass the king's order!"

"Add Fushi County, Tunliu County, and Chang'an Township to become a fief for the young master."

"Add the young master Cheng Xi to the title of Lord of Chang'an!"

Ying Zheng didn't notice the fatigue in Lu Buwei's voice, and his eyes were full of Ying Chengyu.

As Ying Chengyu raised his head, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

Ying Chengyu suddenly handed over his hand and solemnly promised:

"My lord, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiong Mao and other relatives from the Chu family all smiled and raised their hands: "Congratulations to Lord Chang'an!"

Qi Mang and others' faces looked as ugly as if they had eaten Xiang.

After the attack, not only was Ying Chengyu not punished, but he even got an extra fief?

Is this reasonable?

Qi Mang couldn't help but go out and report: "Prime Minister Lu, this matter..."

Before Qi Mang could finish his words, Lu Buwei had already turned around and bowed his hands to Ying Zheng: "I am slightly ill, please leave first."

Only then did Ying Zheng realize that Lu Buwei's physical condition seemed to be really not good, and he immediately ordered: "Where is the imperial physician's order?"

Xia Wuqie, who was carrying a medicine box on his back, ran quickly from the back of the hall: "I'm here!"

Ying Zheng said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Xia will return to the mansion with Prime Minister Lu to diagnose and treat him."

Lu Buwei smiled: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I am fine. I just need to take a rest."

Not wanting to get involved with Ying Zheng anymore, Lu Buwei took a step back and bowed his hands: "I leave."

After saying this, Lu Buwei walked down the platform step by step.

His back was slightly hunched, and his steps were a little heavier.

Under the complicated gaze of Ying Zheng, he passed through the ministers with different faces in the Qilin Hall, only paused for a few breaths beside Ying Chengyu, then raised his steps again and left the Qilin Hall, disappearing from everyone's sight.

There was silence in Qilin Hall.

Many courtiers didn't know what to do next in Lu Buwei's absence.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng spoke loudly: "Shang Shi Ling, hold a banquet!"

"Qin's seizure of Han was the result of its generals and ministers."

"Today everyone will be drinking, and all the ministers should also be drinking!"

While they were talking, the eunuchs and maids had already placed a large number of cases in front of each courtier, and quickly served them delicious food and wine.

Ying Zheng picked up a bronze wine baron from Zhao Gao's hand and shouted loudly:

"My dear friends, drink and win!"

No matter how complicated their hearts were, the ministers had no choice but to raise the wine baron:

"Wang Yinsheng!"

As soon as the wine was filled again, General Pi Yang Ji raised the wine cup again and said: "My nephew has no status, but thanks to the guidance of Lord Chang'an, I can make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, and I can even hold the position of general and public official." The prince."

"My special order, the last general, will honor you and give you the highest rank. Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"

Only a few men of the second generation of the Yang family were dead, and none of them had been killed.

As the second son of Yang Duanhe, Yang Huan already had the highest official position among the second-generation descendants, but he was only a public servant, only one level higher than the current Yang Hu.

And Yang Huan knew very well that with his ability, he could only climb one or two levels in his life, and his road to military merit would be over.

Now that Yang Hu, as the third generation eldest grandson of the Yang family, can make a name for himself, Yang Huan is really happy.

Ying Chengxuan also smiled and raised the wine prince: "How come you are so speechless?"

"Doctor Yang is proficient in the method of marching in battle formations. I have been asking Dr. Yang for advice to supplement my understanding of battle formations."

"There is no need to say thank you, we are all proud of you, we are all fighting for the Qin Dynasty!"

Meng Wu glanced at Meng Tian who was following behind Ying Chengyu, and laughed loudly: "Well said!"

"For this reason, let's drink together!"

The military was unabashedly close to Ying Chengyu.

The relatives of the Chu family also approached Ying Chengyu ambiguously.

Although officials from the Lu Buwei and Lao Ai families were a little distracted, the atmosphere of the banquet was unexpectedly good.

By the time the banquet was over, it was already 19:30.

The military power was transferred to Wang Jian, who sent the army to the Xianyang camp for temporary rest. Ying Chengyu followed the eunuch into the back hall of Qilin Hall.

"Brother Wang!" From afar, Ying Zheng opened his arms and strode towards him.

Without outsiders around, Ying Zheng could finally release his inner emotions without any concealment.

"Brother Wang!" Ying Chengyu also smiled and opened his arms to greet him.

The two brothers hugged each other heavily and hammered each other on the back.

"Brother, I thought I would never see you again in this life." Ying Zheng's voice was full of fear.

Now that he had guessed that Zhao Ji was also plotting against him behind his back, Ying Zheng only had one trusted blood relative left, Ying Chengyu.

Ying Zheng really didn't want this last trace of family affection to disappear.

Ying Chengyu responded warmly: "Brother, I'm back, I'm back alive."

Loosening his hands, Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengyu and smiled: "It'll be good when you're back. It'll be good when you're back."

"After a battle, I became darker, stronger, and a lot taller."

"He looks a bit like a general."

Ying Chengyu raised his eyebrows: "My brother, this battle will destroy the country in one battle!"

"Is it just like some generals?"

"Looking at the generals of the Qin Dynasty, are there any who can take credit for destroying all the heroes like my brother?"

Ying Zheng's eyes were full of smiles: "My brother Chenglong has the appearance of a general!"

"But we should not underestimate the world's heroes."

"We, Great Qin, have already had the strength to destroy Korea. However, we were concerned about the general trend of the world and the attitudes of various countries, so we never ordered our generals to go out to destroy Korea."

"Don't underestimate the generals just because of this."

Ying Chengqiao smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, it's just a joke."

"I have some abilities, I know it well."

"Come, sit down!" He led Ying Chengyu to take a seat. Ying Zheng personally filled the drinks for the two of them and asked curiously: "Brother, I heard that I have something that can turn a city into a sea of ​​fire in an instant?"

Ying Chengxuan explained calmly: "This thing is named after petroleum. The effect is several times better than tung oil, and it is cheap and easy to obtain, but it is not that exaggerated."

"When we attacked Xicheng, I really turned Xicheng into a sea of ​​fire in an instant."

"But during the attack on Xinzheng, Han Right Prime Minister Zhang Rang covered the oil with sand and quickly put out the fire."

"This thing is actually a paint-like substance floating on the Zhishui River next to Gaonu County. Local people often use it to grease carts (lubricate axles) or burn lamps to make rice."

"My brother ordered his soldiers to go to Gaonu privately, rowed on the Zhishui River and scraped some oil, and then they got the oil used in this battle."

Ying Zheng was greatly surprised: "How can this thing be so easy to obtain, and it's still located in the land of Lao Qin?!"

In the tenth year of King Huiwen of Qin, Gaonu County was merged into the territory of Qin. It has been exactly one hundred years since then.

For a hundred years, no one discovered that Gaonu County had a natural siege weapon!

Ying Chengyu smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"And this thing should not only exist in Gaonu County. There should be no shortage of oil in our Daqin territory."

It has high reserves, is easy to obtain, and has good effects. More importantly, it can be used as long as it is scraped from the river surface.

Compared with tung oil, the advantages of petroleum are not many.

Ying Zheng keenly discovered that from now on, oil may completely replace tung oil and become the king of firearms on the battlefield!

Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "Does anyone else know about this matter?"

Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "There are many people who know about oil, but the only ones who know where the oil comes from are my brother and his family soldiers."

"Brother, you have nothing to worry about!"

Ying Zheng smiled happily: "Good! Very good!"

"Brother wants me to take on the responsibility of collecting oil. Is that okay?"

Afraid that Ying Chengyuan would think he was suppressing him, Ying Zheng specifically explained: "I am only temporarily taking on this responsibility."

"No one in the world knows oil better than my brother, so I need my brother to find a way first."

"When I get the crown from my brother, I will choose a trustworthy person to be responsible for collecting and searching for oil."

However, to Ying Zheng's surprise, Ying Chengyu shook his head:

"My brother cannot bear this responsibility."
