"Old thing."

Zhao Feng muttered an insult under his breath, paying it no further attention.

Yanting had already made a move, and once enough evidence was gathered, Zhao Feng would bring him down.

"Now that Wei has fallen, its entire territory is under the control of our Qin."

"Regarding the governance of Wei Territory, do any of the ministers have candidates to recommend?" Ying Zheng looked down at the court and spoke with authority.

"To report to the Great King."

"I recommend Senior Minister Wang Wen."

"As the son of the Chancellor, Wang Wen has a remarkable ability to handle political affairs and is fully capable of managing a region."

Chunyu Yue stood up directly to recommend.

"Father King."

"Your son does have a candidate."

Hu Hai turned around directly and bowed to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng said nothing, calmly looking at Hu Hai.

"I recommend Lord Hu Ju; in terms of position, he officially holds the rank of Senior Minister, fully capable of taking on this significant responsibility." Hu Hai said loudly.

At this moment, Fusu stood out: "Lord Hu Ju might have some talents, but compared to Lord Meng Yi, he falls short. Your son recommends Lord Meng Yi for this important position."

"I, recommend Senior Official Yao Jia." Li Si stood up, calling out very steadily.

For a moment.

There were quite a few recommendations in the court.

Undoubtedly.

In this era.

Officials were almost always from noble families, or nurtured by noble families.

The humble and common people almost had no chance to stand out.

However,

Qin first broke this point, the military merit system fundamentally shattered this notion.

But the military merit system only applied to the military, not the officialdom dominated by civil officials.

Scholarship.

Is not something that can be acquired through battlefield combat.

Wanting to change this pattern is a burdensome task.

"Sure enough, factions are rampant."

"Everyone is vying."

Zhao Feng silently watched this scene, with a few hints of a spectator's mindset.

Just as in the past when governing Han Land and Zhao Territory.

Governing Wei Territory is also a major achievement.

Looking at this noisy court, Ying Zheng showed no ripples in his emotions.

Only after all these recommendations ceased did Ying Zheng slowly speak: "Are you all done recommending?"

His gaze swept across.

The ministers in the court remained silent.

This is the essence of true royal authority.

No matter how much the ministers quarrel, the real decision-making power lies in the hands of the King of Qin.

In this era of absolute monarchy, what the ministers can do is propose and report.

"Zhao Feng."

"For the candidate to govern Wei Territory, do you have anyone in mind?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng and asked.

This sudden question.

Left Zhao Feng somewhat puzzled.

The attention of the entire court once again focused entirely on Zhao Feng.

"To respond to the Great King."

"I am a military official and do not understand the affairs of civil governance."

"It's better to ask the other ministers for recommendations." Zhao Feng bowed his fists, responding calmly.

"Precisely because you are a military official and have a clearer understanding of capable officials, I am asking you to recommend someone." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this,

Those who had originally recommended their confidants immediately showed dim expressions.

However, in the court, perhaps only Wang Jian truly understood.

"The Great King is paving the way for Zhao Feng."

"In the military, Zhao Feng's prestige is unparalleled now."

"But in the court, Zhao Feng does not have much prestige, most courtiers are supporters of Fusu and Hu Hai."

"The Great King is allowing Zhao Feng to have his people achieve merit, so one day he will also have a base in the court." Wang Jian understood in his heart.

He naturally understood what Ying Zheng meant.

After all, this was an open-book examination.

If Wang Jian couldn't guess this, it would be foolishness.

"Does the Great King truly want me to recommend someone?" Zhao Feng smiled and asked again.

"A monarch's words are not trifled with." Ying Zheng smiled.

"Then I think there is someone suitable."

"Does the Great King have any impression of Shaoqiu County?" Zhao Feng said.

"Naturally." Ying Zheng replied casually.

What was once just a small county within the Great Qin Empire, Shaoqiu County has become world-famous due to Zhao Feng's emergence.

Those who know Zhao Feng know he hails from Shaoqiu County, and Shaoqiu is renowned because of Zhao Feng.

"Former Shaoqiu Governor Yan Bing managed the prefectural city remarkably."

"Earlier this year, he was transferred to Zhao Territory as Lord Han Fei's assistant, having abilities in political affairs."

"I recommend Yan Bing to take the main position in governing Wei Territory." Zhao Feng stated immediately.

Now that he was asked to speak, Zhao Feng didn't hold back any reservations.

After all, whether the recommendation is approved depends on the Great King's decision.

After all.

In this court.

Among all officials in the world.

Apart from Han Fei.

Yan Bing is the one Zhao Feng is most familiar with, and Yan Bing has already expressed his intention to follow Zhao Feng, so naturally, Zhao Feng wants to put his people in place.

Successfully governing Wei Territory is also a major achievement.

In the future, upon returning to the Qin Capital, if not entering the Nine Ministers, it will surely lead to a promotion to Senior Official, Senior Minister.

"Since Minister Zhao recommends."

"I, approve." Ying Zheng immediately said.

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words.

Wang Wan became somewhat anxious: "Great King, I have never heard of this governor, and am not aware of his abilities; shouldn't we consider cautiously?"

"I second that."

"Wei Territory is of utmost importance; I believe it's better to consider major ministers from the court. Local officials may have merits, but their experience is ultimately lacking."

"This matter requires careful consideration."

The courtiers who just recommended candidates all stood out.

Regarding this,

Ying Zheng glanced around, completely ignoring their words.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Fusu, Hu Hai."

"During this period overseeing the court, it has been quite some time, and I also give you an opportunity to recommend."

"After returning to your residences, discuss it thoroughly."

"I allow each of you to recommend a person as an assistant."
