[1-200] THE LORD'S EMPIRE

Chapter 192 - Return of the King

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Fu could only decide to take a step back and try to reconcile the two as best as he could. He decided to support the expansion of Great Qin through warfare, but he decided to reduce the amount of fighting and killing. Even though this would reduce the speed at which Great Qin developed, Zhao Fu thought that it was worth it. After all, these people were all his subjects, and they were giving their all to Great Qin.

Zhao Fu decided to give them all some time to relax their tense nerves and allow them to experience some joy. Balancing tension and relaxation was the best way to develop.

Zhao Fu came back to his senses and looked at Bai Qi seriously.

Bai Qi suddenly felt a sense of suppression, and a wave of nervousness washed over him. Droplets of sweat gathered at his forehead as he cupped his fists, humbly apologizing, “Your Majesty, I overstepped my bounds this time. Please punish me.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked – the time for judgment had come. Even though Bai Qi had done everything for the sake of Great Qin, he had indeed gone too far in a sense. He had acted far beyond his authority without asking for Zhao Fu’s permission, and he had even gone all-out in warfare and established a new regime. If this was in the ancient times, Bai Qi would have been immediately sentenced to death.

Everyone present didn’t want to see such a thing happen, so they all stepped forward and pleaded for leniency on Bai Qi’s behalf.

Seeing this, Zhao Fu laughed and said, “When did I ever say that I was going to punish Commander Bai? Even though Commander Bai acted beyond his bounds, it was because I was stuck in East Green, and his methods were quite effective. Great Qin has indeed developed greatly.”

Hearing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Zhao Fu continued, “However, I feel that some things need to be changed. Great Qin needs to continue to develop, but the commoners are also important.”

Zhao Fu told his subordinates everything that he had just been thinking about, delighting them. Following this, they started to discuss how to implement this.

Following this, orders were continuously sent out, causing the dark haze hanging above Great Qin to quickly disappear. Everyone felt as if he or she had finally seen the blue sky after a long time, and many people were finally able to relax and smile. They deeply felt that it was much better now that His Majesty had returned.

After concluding the discussions, Zhao Fu looked at the unfamiliar faces. Some of them had been promoted because of their outstanding performance on the battlefield, and they had become Generals.

One of them was a young man in gray. Even though his looks were quite ordinary, his aura was quite calm and steady. He gave off an impressive atmosphere but seemed quite reserved – he seemed like the type who acted behind the scenes.

When he saw him, Zhao Fu remembered the historical figure who had awakened when Great Qin had leveled up into an Intermediate Town. Back then, Zhao Fu didn’t know who it was, but he realized it was this person in front of him.

“Wei Liao?” When he saw his name, Zhao Fu thought back to the information he knew about this person. Wei Liao was someone who had made heroic contributions to Great Qin’s unification of China.His abilities were extraordinary, and the First Emperor of Qin had valued him greatly. He was even permitted to live close to the Emperor and eat with the Emperor.

Compared to Wang Jian and Meng Tian, Wei Liao’s contributions weren’t in leading troops into battle but in controlling the situation in each battle. He was one who specialized in control and strategy, so he wasn’t as famous and Wang Jian and Meng Tian.

However, that didn’t mean that his capabilities were lacking. Even though Great Qin’s Generals were as common as clouds and Great Qin had many excellent Commanders, Great Qin was able to unify the six states mostly because of his leadership in military talks and his control over the state of the war. At the same talk, Wei Liao was one of the representatives of the School of the Military.
