Chapter 33: Securing the Position of a Commander Is A Feat i

    

It's a bit like..."Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!They were talking in hushed tones, but the hunchbacked old man suddenly raised his head and glared at them. Apparen..."Lin Kuangwei, fearing punishment, took his own life. That's already a settled case at the Northern Palace," In Lu Gong's chamber, the Emperor sat high upon a golden stone platform, still showing no emotion. He simply asked, “After so many years, do you want to overturn his case”

"Mr. Lin's death was indeed suicide, there is no doubt about that. But the reason for his suicide could not have been 'fear of responsibility'."

Jiang Wang said, “The Hong Yao case, the Jin Xian case, the Zi Duan case... these major cases that were famous for a time, some were daunting, some were intricate and complicated, some were dangerous and complex. They were all personally solved by Lin Kuang. When I reviewed the case files, facing the case details, I often gaped in astonishment and couldn't help but be amazed. If Lin Kuang was someone who feared responsibility, he wouldn't have been able to handle these major cases. As the first God Catcher since the establishment of the Blue Plaque, how could he possibly fear responsibility”

He could recite famous cases that Jiang Wang had solved in the past, which showed how much effort he had put into studying them privately. He had repeatedly studied the thick files.

Anyone who has read these files can get a pretty good idea of what kind of person Lin Kuang is.

And he continued, "The culprit died in his cell. Shouldn't the responsibility lie with the guards Shouldn't it be the jailer's fault"

Why did Tian Fen die in prison that year, while Lin Kuang committed suicide out of fear of responsibility

>

Now everyone says that Lin Kuang made a mistake and arrested Tian Fen, but when Tian Fen died, the suspicions surrounding him were not cleared. It's only because he died that we can no longer pursue the investigation. How can we directly conclude that he was 'wrongly arrested'

I have reviewed the records and questioned those who were involved at the time. I found that back then, there were equal voices claiming "the wrong person was arrested" and "Tian Fen is problematic."

But after Lin Kuang died, it seemed like everyone admitted he had made a mistake.

How can there be such reason in this world

Just because someone dies in the forest and cannot speak for themselves, does it mean that those who are still alive can simply disregard the investigation and jump to conclusions This is incredibly unfair to the deceased!

The emperor remained silent.

Jiang Wang then said, "His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince has a posthumous work, the last piece he ever wrote, bequeathed to me."

The emperor was indeed intrigued and asked, “What did you write”

Jiang Wang replied, “The words are, ‘Heaven does not abandon my great Qi, and it gives birth to me, Jiang, without abandoning me!’”

The emperor was silent for a moment, clearly lost in the emotions conveyed by those words.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Then Jiang Wang continued, "What does it mean to not abandon the state of Qi"

He posed such a grand question and answered it himself: "I believe, it is to not abandon the officials of Qi nor the people of Qi!"

A faithful employee should not be discarded.

Those who have contributed to the nation should not be abandoned.

All who fight for the state, regardless of age, wisdom, or intellect, should not be abandoned by the great Qi!

When the eleventh prince was in power, he gave that imposter Zhang Yong a chance only because our great Qi state never forgets its meritorious officials.

Similarly, His Highness repeatedly entrusted Lin Youxie with cases in his lifetime, which also shows that our great Qi state has not forgotten such a renowned official like Lin Kuang.

"Although Lin Xiang's death was a suicide, it was brought about by rumors, fear, and injustice... not by a sense of guilt!"

Jiang Wang's voice was loud and clear, his reasoning was sound and upright, so his bearing was imposing. He declared: "During Lin Kuang's tenure at the Northern Palace, he spearheaded the resolution of 137 cases, both large and small. Each case file is meticulously documented, with detailed clues and substantial evidence."

He has guided and assisted countless junior officers in cracking cases.

The uniquely created 44 types of Qingpai investigation methods, and numerous rules like requiring two or more people to supervise autopsies...are still in use today.

During his lifetime, he never showed favoritism to anyone. After his death, a thorough investigation was conducted into his actions, and nothing could be found to criticize him.

Such talent should not be discarded by the country.

"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you review the case of Lin Kuang's suicide and clear his name. Let the people of the world know that the Son of Heaven does not abandon his subjects!"

The emperor asked only, "Lord Jiang, in your opinion, if Lin Kuang did not commit suicide out of fear of punishment, what was the reason for his suicide"

Han Ling couldn't help but raise a few points of attention.

Jiang Wang's words were truly well-spoken, leaving him surprisingly impressed. With Jiang Wuqi's parting words, he moved the emperor's heart, which was already a masterful feat. However, Han Ling understood that emotion alone couldn't influence the emperor. What could truly sway the emperor was Jiang Wuqi's magnanimous view of the world...Who said Jiang Qingyang was reckless At least his grasp of this situation was precise and innate, almost flawless.

And the emperor's question at this time was also very crucial.

The matter concerning Lin Kuang, while solvable, cannot be resolved from the Empress's perspective.

In Han Ling's view, Jiang Wang's next answer was the key to handling this case.

"I have already said, Master Lin died from slander. It was those who spread malicious rumors and hastily judged who drove Master Lin to death! He was loyal to the Qingpai business and could not bear the damage to his reputation. He couldn't stand to see Qingpai disgraced, so he committed suicide to prove his innocence. I never thought that after death, he had no voice to defend himself, but instead allowed the rumors to spread true. This is truly a regrettable event of twenty years! I implore Your Majesty, do not allow this regret to last for a hundred years!"

In the vast Deer Palace, only Jiang Wang's voice echoed.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

This voice is so young.

In the history of this mighty empire, young voices have always risen again and again.

>

"Alas."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The emperor actually sighed.

>

His voice finally came down from the stone platform: "Jiang Qing, Jiang Qing, today I finally know that you are so capable in your investigations. You are familiar with the methods of investigating Qing Pai, you know its history like the back of your hand, and you handle things with precision. Your vision is also good, and your wristwork is excellent. Speaking of which, Zheng Duwei will soon ascend to the divine rank, and the position of Duwei in charge of inspections at the City Guard Office is vacant. Would you be willing to take it for me"

Jiang Wang instantly felt a chill down his spine!

Whoever thinks they can control the emperor's mind is courting death!

The position of Northern Palace Captain, Zheng Shangming had previously used as a bargaining chip when talking with Jiang Wang. Zheng Shi and his son dared to operate this matter, of course the emperor also acquiesced.

And Jiang Wang's refusal of Zheng Shangming could also be said to be a refusal of the emperor.

But the emperor, when discussing the Lin Kuang case with Jiang Wang, abruptly changed the subject and alluded to the position of Northern Court Commandant.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The implication is that you're so good at reading the room, you clearly understand how to be an official!

Then what reason do you have to refuse!

"Of course I am willing! To serve the country loyally and ease the emperor's worries is Jiang Wang's honor!" Without hesitation, Jiang Wang immediately expressed his loyalty.

>

“But…” Jiang Wang’s thoughts raced as he earnestly said, “It’s a pity that my cultivation speed is too fast. I’m afraid that in just a few days, I will have already achieved the state of a Divine Manifestation.”

Han Ling's lips trembled...

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Look at this pompous fool! What utter nonsense he's spouting! Countless people struggle their entire lives just to survive until their allotted time, unable to enjoy the richness of life. Yet here is Jiang Qingyang, worrying about whether he can last a few more days"

However, upon serious reflection, it actually makes a lot of sense. With the prodigious talent of this unparalleled prodigy, the Divine Tribulation on the first floor was never an obstacle. It truly only depended on when he would perfect his cultivation on the fourth floor before he could transcend.

He suppressed his emotions and then heard Jiang Wang say, "The post of Northern Army Commander is a crucial one for the state. It concerns the security of the entire country. How can it be given to Zhang San today and Li Si tomorrow I am not a favored official seeking personal gain. My heart is devoted to the well-being of the country. It is easy to find a replacement for the Northern Army Commander, but difficult to find one suitable for the post. Your Majesty should think carefully about this!"

This is very clear, and the relationship of interests is even clearer.

Your words are like gold, forcing me to become the Northern Camp Commander. Once I'm in that position, things will be simple enough. But the Northern Camp Commander is such an important position, it takes three to five years of unwavering resolve to do the job well. A peerless genius like myself wouldn't possibly linger for three or five years before reaching my full potential!

While Jiang Wang professed his eagerness and willingness, whenever it came to crucial matters, he would always say that "his talents were insufficient" or that "the timing was inappropriate." The emperor appointing me as the Northern Guard Commander probably indicates a lack of responsibility towards the position itself and an air of favoritism in making appointments.

Especially that sentence, "happy to serve the emperor," is almost like asking the emperor -

I am not a favored minister. Could it be that the Son of Heaven wishes to open the gates for favored ministers

But how could an emperor like Emperor Qi be so easily controlled by just a few words

He stared directly at Jiang Wang and asked, "Don't you wish to pledge your loyalty to me"

Such a blunt question is really not like the emperor's style.

Visible today his mood, indeed is not as tranquil as in the past.

As for this question, the answer of course couldn't be even slightly shaken.

Jiang Wang did not express his loyalty with fear and trembling, but rather countered with righteous indignation: “Since entering Qi, I have always been loyal to my duty, dedicated myself to the state, fought for the country, and waged war for Qi. At all times and in all places, I have never tarnished the glory of Great Qi! Is this not loyalty to the King of Qi”

Since the previous sentence had already been so open, Qi Tianzi this time asked more directly: "Jiang Qingyang, can't you see my heart for your cultivation Is it really so difficult for you to hold the Northern Army"

The emperor asked directly, and Jiang Wang had no right to prevaricate or evade.

Upon hearing this, Zheng stood up straight and said with a solemn expression, "Although Jiang Wang is considered dull-witted, I believe that if it's just about solving cases, it wouldn't be too difficult! The Department of City Patrol in the capital has many talented people. I only need to appoint capable individuals based on their merits, act impartially and fairly, and punish both the guilty and the innocent accordingly. Naturally, things would run smoothly. Your Majesty praised my ability to handle things delicately, but Your Majesty, if I were to command the Northern Garrison, the first thing I wouldn't want to do is be delicate! I am terrified, I am a thousand deaths in your debt, but I still want to ask, does Your Majesty need such a commander for the Northern Garrison"

"Be outrageous!"

Jiang Wang stepped back and lowered his head: "My lord, I am willing to die ten thousand deaths!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"I see you are not afraid of death," the emperor said in a low voice.

“I am afraid of death, terribly afraid. I had vowed long ago never to experience the feeling of my life being held in someone else's hands again. But Your Majesty, I would like to ask you…”

Jiang Wang asked with the utmost sincerity: "Could it be that only unconditional loyalty is true loyalty"

Can a person who has lost themselves truly be trusted

Jiang Wang is Jiang Wang because Jiang Wang has always been doing what Jiang Wang should do, without going against his true nature. If one's true nature can be violated and one's self can be abandoned, then what laws bind me What morals bind me How can loyalty, righteousness, propriety, and shame affect me"

The emperor sneered, "A loyal subject would not go against his own heart."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang replied: "Recently, while reading history, I heard that during the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, the ruler tasted all the delicacies in the world. One day, he jokingly said that he didn't know what human flesh tasted like. There was a famous cook named Yi Ya who heard this and immediately cooked his own son to present to the ruler! When the ruler visited Yi Ya's house, he glanced at Yi Ya's wife, and that night Yi Ya offered his wife to the dragon bed! One can say that for all things, one should only seek to please the monarch's heart. Is this not loyalty"

And what happened in the end When Qi's ruler was gravely wounded, it was Yiya, who was then the Minister of State, who assassinated him... This led to Emperor Wu later restoring the country.

"If a person loses their true self, how can they possibly hold onto anything Where can they find virtue" Jiang Wang said in a loud voice, "It's precisely because I uphold my word, value righteousness, and believe in justice that I can be a loyal subject to the king!"

"What a man of his word, integrity, and belief in justice! What a day to read history!"

The Emperor stretched out his hand and patted the stone platform, saying, "I only knew you, Jiang Qingyang, were skilled in battle, but I didn't expect you to be well-read too!"

Jiang Wang was momentarily at a loss, unsure whether the emperor's words were praise or sarcasm.

But luckily, it seems like this hurdle is over...

“Your servant is overwhelmed with fear and trepidation. Yet, Your Majesty is so humble to accept advice from your ministers, even those like myself who are dull-witted, lacking in intelligence and worldly experience. Despite my inadequacies, I must still speak my honest thoughts.”

"Hahaha!" The emperor actually laughed. "What a fool, inept and ignorant! Today, you finally said something truthful to me!"

It’s good that the emperor could laugh.

But that sounds...

It's really a bit hurtful to my pride.

However, Jiang Wang could only meekly say, "Your Majesty, I dare not speak recklessly..."

"Alright," the Emperor said, waving his hand and bowing slightly. "I have approved all three cases you presented today. You don't want to be the Northern Patrol Commander, I approve of that... So, how will you repay me"

Jiang Wang said frankly: "A proud celestial being who excels among all celestials!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The emperor turned his head to look at Han Ling, who stood before the stone platform, and smiled: "Our young people in Qi are very ambitious!"

>

Turning his head back, he looked at Jiang Wangdao: "Agreed!"

Jiang Wang bowed and said, "Subject Jiang thanks Your Majesty!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The emperor was about to wave his hand for him to step back, but he glanced at him and said, "Is there anything else"

“Your Majesty, your wisdom is like a torch illuminating the heavens, and you can see everything clearly!” Jiang Wang forcefully slapped a flattering remark on before continuing, “I humbly request Your Majesty's permission. Recently, I wish to leave the capital and travel to Chu to fulfill my friend’s promise about exploring the mountains and seas.”

The emperor let out a cold snort: “You caused trouble and now you want to run away”

"Your Majesty has protected me, so how could misfortune befall me Besides, the sun shines brightly in the State of Qi today. Could there possibly be a sudden catastrophe I truly did make an appointment with a friend. The Left General Zuo Guangsu of Chu and I had spoken of this beforehand..."

“Alright, alright.” The Emperor impatiently interrupted. “Young man, it’s good to go out and travel, to see the world’s heroes. That’s a good thing too.”

Jiang Wang hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, I thank you!"

Then he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

The emperor called him to a halt.

Jiang Wang stood respectfully, waiting for the emperor to speak.

The emperor smiled. "Jiang Qing likes to read, doesn't he"

Suddenly, a smile vanished: "Han Ling!"

Han bowed in response.

The emperor said, "Bring over a copy of 'Knife and Axe Carving the Sea' and bestow it upon Qingyangzi to read!"

He said to Jiang Wang again, "Jiang Qing loves books, so study diligently and don't slack off. When you return, I will quiz you. If you cannot recite them perfectly, I will hold you accountable for deceiving the emperor."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The emperor said this with a smile, very approachable.

Jiang Wang felt deeply the emperor's boundless grace and said emotionally, "The minister will definitely not let down Your Majesty's high expectations!"

Unlike Jiang Wang, who was clueless and had no knowledge of the situation, Han Ling on the other side was secretly astonished.

"The *History of Knife-Carving the Sea* compiled by Sima Heng, a scholar of great wisdom from the Qikǔ Academy, is an enormous work. It claims to encompass the history of all nations. It is the most complete historical record of all nations since the beginning of the new era, spanning millions of words..."

Thousands of words!

How can you recite it backwards so fluently

I'm afraid that even in the diligent academy, few Confucian students could achieve this.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

And Jiang Qingyang is still beaming with happiness!

With a complex mixture of emotions, he went out. Not long after, Han Ling returned with a storage box and handed it to Jiang Wang, adding as a reminder, "You don't have to return the storage box."

Although Jiang Wang didn't understand why a simple book would require a storage box, perhaps that was just the grandeur of royalty!

That is, he reached out and took it: "Thank you."

Again, I bowed to the Son of Heaven and said, "I thank Your Majesty!"

“Alright, you may go.” The emperor resumed his emotionless tone.

Jiang Wang performed another respectful bow before turning and striding away.

He wasn't afraid of reading, after all, he considered himself "quick-witted and eager to learn".

Only at this moment is the sky clear and cloudless, truly seeing the sunlight.

Ps: This passage first borrows from history, using some allusions to the story of Yi Ya and Peng Tzu. But this Qi is not that Qi.of that fierce battle, he seemed to know every detail of each person's fighting, which speaks volumes about his ease and mastery.But for some reason, during his time at the San Cheng Forum of Debate,...
