Xianyang, Xianyang Palace.

Qin Wangji sat on the top, his face was gloomy, the muscles on his old face kept trembling, his mouth was closed one by one, and the roar he made spread throughout the entire hall.

"Wang Ji is a traitor, and the widow will punish his three clans, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart!"

In front of Qin Wangji, several important ministers of the Qin State buried their heads deeply like ostriches, and no one dared to raise their heads and look at Qin Wangji.

Many people secretly looked at Fan Sui, who was sitting closest to Qin Wangji, and then found that the prime minister of the Qin State, who had always been invincible, was silent at the moment, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept coming out of his forehead.

Seeing this scene, many people began to gloat in their hearts.

Hmph, don't you Fan Sui have revenge and kindness? Isn't it impossible to be in power? Now, your benefactor Wang Ji has made such a big deal in Hedong County, I want to see what you do!

In this era, there was no imperial examination, and if you wanted to become an official, you could not pass the examination to get to the position, but it was composed of many other ways.

To put it simply, there are mainly methods such as recommendation, self-recommendation, meritorious service, recruitment, world officials, and shadows.

The reason why Wang Ji was able to soar from an ordinary middle-level official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qin State to a member of the county guard of Hedong County was because of Fan Sui's recommendation.

But this kind of recommendation doesn't mean that it's all over to help people get an official position, if it's really that easy, then Fan Sui's subordinates would have been all over the Qin State.

Recommendation is actually a very cautious method of investigation.

The recommender actually has a guarantee effect on the referee.

Since the Qin State has such an annual assessment system, once the recommended person fails to pass the upper calculation, then the recommender will also be jointly and severally liable.

To put it simply, if Fan Sui recommended Wang Ji, and Wang Ji's performance was not good, then Fan Sui would also have to take the blame.

Not only the Qin State, but also the Zhao State also had a similar system of upper counting, and the other Warring States Seven Heroes were similar.

With the supervision of the system of supervision, it is not possible to make random recommendations when making recommendations, and to a large extent, it can prevent those officials who only know how to mess around every day from occupying important posts.

But it is precisely because of the guarantee relationship in this that when Wang Ji has an accident now, Fan Sui's trouble will be big.

If Wang Ji was just accused of dereliction of duty or something, it might have been better.

But Wang Ji is now a traitor!

Everyone present knew that Wang Ji was now determined to sell the entire Hedong County to the people of Zhao Guoren!

That was the Qin State that had been painstakingly operating for decades, and its importance was second only to that of Hedong County in Guanzhong.

If Guanzhong supports the backbone of the Qin State, then the Bashu Basin and the Hedong Plain are the wings of the Qin State.

Considering that the Bashu Basin has not yet been fully developed, the importance of Hedong County, which has been operated by the Jin State for hundreds of years and has basically been completely developed, is even more self-evident to the Qin State.

Therefore, in Qin Wangji's heart, Wang Ji not only deserves to die, but even if he dies a thousand times, ten thousand times is not enough to atone for his sins!

The angry Qin Wangji still did not lose his anger after he was angry, but stared at Fan Sui viciously with his eyes: "Fan Jun, what do you have to say about Wang Ji, a thief?" ”

As soon as they heard this, the hearts of many Qin ministers present jumped.

It came, and sure enough, it came.

Fan Sui's body also trembled when he heard this, and finally he could only stand out helplessly, and bowed his head and said: "The minister knows no way, please ask the king to surrender." ”

In fact, Fan Sui's heart is also angry.

Why is this Wang Ji so pitted, you said that you got such a good position, and it doesn't matter if you have done so-so over the years, and you still pit me like this, is this appropriate?

If resentment can kill, then the resentment in Fan Sui's heart at this moment should be enough to frustrate Wang Ji's bones.

But resentment can't kill people after all, Qin Wangji, who can really kill people, is sitting in front of Fan Sui at this moment, looking at Fan Sui with extremely cold eyes.

Fan Sui had no doubt that as long as Qin Wangji had one thought, then he would lose his head.

But what's worse is that Fan Sui can still think of a way to do other things, but Fan Sui really has no way to do anything about this matter.

The atmosphere in the main hall seemed to freeze instantly.

Qin Wangji stared at Fan Sui, his gaze gradually turning cold.

If before the Battle of Changping, Qin Wangji and Fan Sui, the two monarchs and ministers, were still in the honeymoon period because of their successive victories in all aspects of diplomacy and internal affairs, and now with these successive defeats, Qin Wangji's trust in Fan Sui is also declining rapidly, and it is about to reach the freezing point.

Now, there is only one thought in Qin Wangji's mind, and that is - is it time to change to a different state?

If Qin Wangji was still able to endure the defeat of Marquis Wei Ran when he was young, then at this time, Qin Wangji, who knew very well that he might not see the sun tomorrow when he slept every day, was much less patient than before.

The defeat in the Battle of Changping greatly shook Qin Wangji's trust in Fan Sui.

And the erosion of the current situation in Hedong also has a lot to do with Fan Sui.

Through the pervasive intelligence network of "Hou", Qin Wangji's heart is very clear that the two strategically important cities of Gujiang and Jiang in Hedong County fell quickly, completely because the county commanders and county magistrates of these cities are Wang Ji's cronies, and they directly opened the door and surrendered to the Sanjin coalition army on Wang Ji's orders!

Moreover, in Jiangcheng, Hou's intelligence officers also saw Zheng Zhu, a pedestrian from Zhao Guoda, and confirmed the conspiracy of Wang Ji and Zhao Ren.

After learning of Wang Ji's rebellion, Qin Wangji had already exhausted the elite of Guanzhong as soon as possible and rushed to the front line of Hedong County.

However, the mobilization of the army and the deployment of the county soldiers could not be accomplished in just three or four days.

It would take at least ten days for a Qin army of 200,000 men to be able to urgently form and reach Hedong County.

But is there really ten days left in the current Qin State?

It's all weird!

The more Qin Wangji thought about it, the more angry he became, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Fan Sui suddenly fell to the ground, not daring to move in the slightest.

Qin Wangji was silent for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice: "His majesty Fan Sui of Xiangbang is incompetent, knows no people, and has no way to recommend, cut half of the fief to set an example!" ”

This is Qin Wangji's final punishment of Fan Sui.

Cutting the fiefdom in half can be said to be a very heavy punishment.

But Fan Sui did not feel any frustration after hearing this punishment, but bowed deeply and said loudly: "King Xie!" ”

Just as Qin Wangji announced this order, several important ministers of the Qin State behind Fan Sui exchanged glances with each other, and they all saw disappointed looks in each other's eyes.

I didn't expect that even this would not be able to bring down this Fan Sui, is he really a tumbler?
