Chapter 1147: Chapter 49 Marshal Meng’s Military Records 5 [3 in 1]_4 Chapter 1147: Chapter 49 Marshal Meng’s Military Records 5 [3 in 1]_4 “I grant you permission to fight on the battlefield wearing my robe,” declared the Qin Emperor solemnly, “Let this robe serve as the base for the General’s battle attire!”

The Qin Emperor articulated slowly, “If it suffers any damage, you shall be blameless and meritorious!”

Being bestowed with a royal robe has always been a supreme honor, but to allow soldiers to wear one’s own robe in battle was unprecedented!

To damage it yet be deemed meritorious was an extraordinary honor indeed!

Beside him, a multitude of civil officials turned visibly envious, their eyes glowing with jealousy.

At the moment the Qin Emperor draped his robe over Meng Fang, his hand clutched the Jade Seal of the state.

The dragon’s spirit was quietly activated.

As the energies coalesced, he felt a subtle connection forming with General Meng Fang standing before him.

This connection felt surreal yet tangibly real, as if binding them across lifetimes…

Furthermore, upon attempting this connection, the Qin Emperor clearly felt the destiny within the Jade Seal growing rapidly!

This growth was so perceptible, so evident!

The Qin Emperor’s heart skipped a beat!

This Meng Fang… could actually enhance the state’s destiny, and so markedly so?!

Almost instantly, then who exactly was he?!

The Qin Emperor gazed intensely at Meng Fang, pondering deeply.

What was truly happening?

He even harbored an absurd thought: Could it be the reincarnation of some ancestral emperor?

But he dismissed such a preposterous notion immediately.

However, it was this linked destiny that engendered a sense of trust in the Qin Emperor.

For such a feeling, such a connection to destiny, was absent in other generals,

Including Wang Jian, the foremost among Great Qin’s military, and other great generals.

This made the Qin Emperor subconsciously regard Meng Fang as a confidant.

Therefore, he was even more generous with rewards.

“Decree this. Enthrone Meng Fang as the Nation Stabilizing General, bestow the half-dragon talisman, the army’s sword, reward gold…”

This series of honors astounded all officials, both civil and military.

But what was more shocking came next.

Meng Fang actually declined.

“I earnestly request His Majesty to bestow recognition on the meritorious soldiers, to affirm His Majesty’s deep concern for the fallen. My contributions are negligible, all achieved through the desperate struggles of my brothers…”

Throughout his speech, he advocated for recognition for his subordinates.

The Qin Emperor frowned deeply, “Do you prefer to forego your own merits to share them with your fellow soldiers?”

“Yes!”

Meng Fang did not hesitate, “Please grant me this, Your Majesty.”

The Qin Emperor roared with laughter.

Old General Wang Jian laughed, his beard quivering, “Foolish boy! Granting titles to soldiers is the military department’s matter, not discussed here. Traditionally, only the chief commander appears in this court.”

“But rest assured, we won’t neglect your brothers!”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Only then did Meng Fang realize his mistake, “Then, I ask His Majesty’s permission to share the bestowed items with my subordinates.”

This permission was necessary.

If one were to redistribute the Emperor’s gifts without permission, it could lead to accusations.

Normally it wouldn’t matter, but once any trouble arose, such actions could be severely criticized.

But with the Emperor’s prior consent, there would be no issue.

“Granted by the Emperor!”

The Qin Emperor’s admiration grew.

“I have one more request.”

“Speak!”

“When shall we attack Han State, please allow Meng Fang to lead the vanguard!”

The Qin Emperor smiled meaningfully, “I hear those who attempted to assassinate you outside the Capital City were from Han State? You seek revenge?”

Wang Jian desperately signaled with his eyes.

Meaning, do not tell the truth.

A general driven by revenge might be viewed with suspicion.

But Meng Fang spoke frankly, “We, brothers, entered the capital to receive titles, each dreaming of ennobling our wives and securing happiness for our children. Yet outside the Capital City, a battle claimed three hundred of our valiant men!”

“Even amidst thousands of troops, they might not have died in battle; but right at our doorstep, they fell to a coward’s assassination. I cannot swallow this insult!”

The Qin Emperor narrowed his eyes.

“If you can’t swallow it, what then?”

His voice now carried a hint of oppression.

Meng Fang boldly proclaimed, “For the lands of Great Qin! For Your Majesty’s grand ambitions! For our fallen brothers!… I, Meng Fang—”

His voice rang out clearly: “Am willing to annihilate a nation for Your Majesty!”

The entire hall erupted!

The Qin Emperor slightly raised his hand, silencing the murmurs.

He looked Meng Fang in the eye and spoke calmly, “One must be cautious with words in the Golden Hall.”

“I am willing to issue a military decree!”

“Very well!”

The Qin Emperor laughed heartily, “Granted by the Emperor!”

Granted!

These two words sent ripples throughout the assembly.

It was as if the Qin Emperor had announced to the world: I am ready to unify!

The war to annihilate nations had officially begun!

After the court session.

The gifted items had already been sent by the servants to the General’s mansion.

Wang Jian kept Meng Fang behind, “Are you dissatisfied with the military department’s arrangements for compensation?”

“Yes! It’s too little!”

Meng Fang’s straightforward reply almost made Qin country’s leading general roll his eyes.

“And you’re not satisfied with the scheduled official posts?”

“As for the living brothers, I am satisfied with their ranks. But for the posthumous titles of the deceased, I cannot agree!”

Meng Fang spoke candidly, “Too low!”

Wang Jian, nose askew with irritation, “Do you realize how many people are watching this posthumous recognition? Do you think it’s appropriate to enhance the ranks of your subordinates?”
