Chapter 26: The Curve to Save the Nation

The ministers dispersed from the court and each boarded their own carriages to return home.

Wang Ben is a military general and he never needs a carriage or escort. He mounted a fast horse and went straight to Tongwuhou Mansion!

The Wang family has two marquises, and I, Wu Cheng, marquis Wang Jian, who is brave and good at fighting.

He once led an army to conquer Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and wiped out the three Jin regions, annihilating Yan and Chu, and made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty!

Unlike Bai Qi, another killing god of the Qin Dynasty, Wu Anjun, Wang Jian can be said to be an old fox.

When he was at the peak of his achievements, he retreated bravely and left the opportunity to his son!

Not only did he preserve his position in the palace, but he also allowed his son to establish a successful career and become his wife!

"Xu..."

"Dad, Dad, I'm back!"

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the house and before he could get off his horse, Wang Ben started yelling like a child.

"Hey! The master is back!"

When the servant saw Wang Ben, his eyes showed joy and he hurried to help lead the horse.

Ying Zheng was away on his eastward tour for several months, and now he is finally back!

"Where's my dad?"

After dismounting, Wang Ben asked in high spirits.

"The old man is tending the flowers and plants in the courtyard!"

"father……"

Wang Jian took two steps at a time and entered the door.

"Shout! What are you shouting for? Are you afraid that I will lose my soul?"

In the yard, there is a small garden opposite the gate. Wang Jian is full of energy. He is watering the flowers with a dry ladle and talking without raising his head or eyes.

Normally, my son will be gone for several months, and I should be concerned about him at this time.

But this is not the case in the Wang family!

From the moment a battle is decided, generals must start preparations until the war is over.

It can take as little as half a year, or as long as several years!

So in the Wang family, it is normal for a family to separate!

As long as we can come back in one piece, it will be a happy event!

This has also created a strong character for each of the Wang children, including Wang Wan!

Grandpa and dad have been away from home fighting for many years. In order not to be bullied, they must protect themselves!

"Dad, did you hear that His Majesty brought back a young master who was living abroad?"

As soon as he arrived home, Wang Ben had no time to rest and hurriedly reported to his father.

"Well, I heard about it!"

Wang Jian put down the dry ladle and began to pull the weeds among the flowers.

"Dad, this child is extraordinary!"

"I heard that he improved the plow and invented paper. He seems to have some talent!"

Wang Jian seemed to have no interest in this and continued what he was doing.

"It doesn't stop there!"

Wang Ben sat down by the flower bed and began to talk at length, "This child has a kind of grain in his hand, with a yield of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu. He is only five and a half years old, and his hands are stronger than me. He pulls the plow all over the ground alone.

According to your majesty, the young master once had a master who knew the events of two thousand years before and after, and even wrote a poem in front of the civil and military ministers, which can be called an eternal quatrain...!"

"oh?"

Wang Ben gave an overview of everything that happened during this period, and finally attracted Wang Jian's attention. He put down what he was doing and listened carefully.

"Does a five-and-a-half-year-old child really have such a character?"

"You can't be wrong, Dad! I saw all these things with my own eyes!"

Of course, when talking about this, Wang Ben avoided the important and ignored the bet.

"Tsk tsk... Strange man! He really is a strange man!"

Wang Jian clicked his tongue and marveled, "If the young master is really as versatile as you said, his future prospects are limitless. In a few years, all the ministers will probably rush to marry him!"

"Dad, what if our Wang family marries him?"

Wang Ben asked tentatively.

In fact, those previous compliments were more than just genuine admiration, they were more of a foreshadowing for the next words!

Wang Wan is the only girl in their Wang family, and she is deeply loved by Wang Jian.

If he came up to his daughter and told her that he had arranged a marriage for her, given his daughter's character, she would definitely object, and then she would cry and complain to her father.

When he turned around, he was scolded all over his face.

If not, you might even be chased and beaten!

He is the head of a dignified family. If this scene really happens, how can he have any prestige in this family in the future?

Even the servants would secretly laugh at him!

In order to avoid this scene from happening, he has been thinking about this issue after leaving the palace, considering the results from various angles, and finally decided on this method!

Curve to save the country!

Get rid of me first and let me stand on your side.

If Wan'er disagrees, I can still persuade her!

"Humph! The young master is a noble son. Although he has not yet emerged, he will shine sooner or later in the future. There are many people who want to marry. The first thing your majesty must consider is those royal relatives, and the second is us nobles. We may not get our turn.

!”

"Besides, Wan'er is good at kung fu and has a reputation for being fierce in the city. Even if His Majesty considers nobles, he may not choose our Wan'er!"

Wang Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This is all his fault. In order to prevent anyone from bullying this precious granddaughter when they were not at home, he would teach her how to do things whenever he had free time. As a result, this child did not have the gentleness that a lady should have.

On the contrary, he is like a gangster who likes to punish evil and promote good, and his reputation spreads far and wide!

"Then if the young master takes the initiative to marry us, should we agree?"

"Active marriage?"

"Ha ha……"

Wang Jian seemed to have heard some joke, "It's better not to daydream!"

"It's not a dream, dad! When we were in Yunyang, the young master took the initiative to request your majesty to marry our royal family. He said that his master said that I would accompany your majesty on your eastward tour, and I have a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower, so

So I made a request for marriage to His Majesty!"

After thoroughly understanding what I meant, Wang Ben spoke out the key points.

"Is there really such a thing?"

Wang Jian's eyes suddenly widened in shock.

On the one hand, it was because Ying Feiyu took the initiative to request a marriage, and on the other hand, more importantly, it was because Xiao Zhengtai's master could actually predict the entourage and even his family members?

Is it possible that someone really knows something that happened two thousand years ago?

"That's right! Dad! Your Majesty personally appointed this marriage, but you also know Wan'er's temperament. What should you do if you don't agree?"

"Haha! There is no need to worry about this. Wan'er is upright, martial, and curious. If the young master is as you say, Wan'er will not disagree if he meets you!"

Wang Jian stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Good boy, if Wan'er marries the young master in the future, even if we, the descendants of the Wang family, don't live up to expectations, we will still have enough food and clothing!"

After Shang Yang's reform, the Qin Dynasty valued military merit most.

Even if he is a prince, he cannot have real power without military merit!

The reason why the Wang family is able to have the honor of having a double lord is because they fought hard on the battlefield!

The titles of Da Qin can be inherited, but there is no hereditary succession, and they are all on a decreasing system.

In the absence of military merit, Wang Ben's son can indeed inherit the title, but he will change from Chehou to Neihou to Grand Concubine. If there are no outstanding talents, he will become a commoner in a few generations.

The Wang family has also declined!
