Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 190 Dune
"Come!"

"Come with me to explore the mountains!"

After traveling all over the Qinling Mountains, He Bo felt that he could not be the kind of playboy who was easily bored with the old and easily attracted by the new.

How can we ignore the feelings of Taihang Mountains just because Qinling Mountains has more vegetation, more water and heat, more beautiful scenery, and the undulating curves of the mountains are more gentle!
It was obviously the one that came first!

then,

He called his friends and asked the dead ghosts to accompany him to travel to Taihang Mountains.

He Bo was holding a trekking pole, wearing a bamboo hat and simple, capable clothes, looking exactly like a mountaineer.

Because the affairs of the underworld are complicated,
Ghost officials like Ximen Bao did not accompany the ghosts and gods this time. Instead, they were replaced by the two emperors and prime ministers of the Qin Dynasty.

King Huiwen of Qin, who was a little green, traveled through the equally green Taihang Mountains, full of curiosity.

Here,

It can be said to be the Qin people’s dream place.

When the Qin State marched eastwards from the Three Jin States, it would cross the Taihang Mountains and attack Yan and Qi.

Unfortunately, before King Huiwen of Qin's death, the Taihang Mountains were still owned by the Three Jins, and the Qin State could only look at the scenery of the Taihang Mountains from afar but could not go deep into them.

but,

Even if he were alive, he would not seek trouble by running to the dangerous Taihang Mountains to fight with monkeys and tigers.

After all, the monarch is responsible for his country and cannot take risks.

His son Yingdang is already a naked lesson.

Duke Xiao of Qin and his son admired the scenery together and enjoyed the rare leisure time together.

Zhang Yi and Shang Yang,

They are far apart and repel each other.

"do not do that!"

He Bo said to them, "You are loyal to a father and son, and you have both held important positions in the Qin State, so why are you not close to each other?"

Shang Yang said, "I don't like to follow people who stir up trouble!"

Although he appreciated Zhang Yi's contribution to the Qin State, Shang Yang's laws required people from top to bottom to "be loyal to one principle and perform their duties", and everyone just needed to do their work honestly.

Shang Yang could not get along with people like Zhang Yi, who sought benefits for himself by advocating risks and was very flexible in both words and bottom line.

Zhang Yi was also beside him, saying sarcastically, "Shang Jun must be tired of seeing me with all my limbs intact!"

after all,

After his death,

King Wu of Qin allowed him to be buried with King Hui in his mausoleum.

Instead of going through hardships and dangers like Shang Yang, whose torn remains were recovered and buried next to King Xiao Gong.

but,

Zhang Yi said this.
King Huiwen of Qin could no longer hold back.

He coughed, then focused on appreciating the leaves in front of him. He even picked one off and said to his father, "This leaf is so green!"

Duke Xiao blinked, remembering what he had heard from the gods about the extra meaning of "green", and also remembered that the woman his son loved had given birth to two children for others...

He smiled and said, "It's indeed green, it suits you very well!"

Not understanding what was going on, Ying Si pinched the green leaves and laughed.

When you reach the top of a mountain,
The dead ghosts looked into the distance and found a palace that was being heavily wrapped.

"where is that?"

They were very confused and pointed over there, asking the ghosts and gods.

The ghost said, "It is the Shaqiu Palace of King Zhao."

Then all the dead ghosts suddenly realized.

After all, during this period, the Qin kings who had specially bought the courtyard next to Marquis Zhao Su and were secretly observing the Three Jins often saw Marquis Zhao Su stamping his feet in anger for no apparent reason.

Then, after further investigation, they found out that there was trouble in Zhao State.

Inquire about the news of the world of the living in the underworld,

It’s actually not easy.

It’s not like every dead ghost can be chosen by the gods and ghosts to accompany him to wander around the world of the living and know the current situation in the world of the living.

most of the time,
Generally, if dead ghosts want to know about the situation in the world of the living, they need to ask the people who died recently during this period.

Moreover, the cities in the underworld are a reflection of the world of the living.

Only local "people" can know local affairs more quickly.

If you want to spread it to other places, it will still take some time. The kings' ghosts have their descendants offering sacrifices to them, so they have more money than the common people's ghosts, so they will use part of the offerings to hire spies for themselves to inquire about the situation in various places.

After all, as a monarch,

Even after death, you should still care about national affairs!
Like when King Wu of Qin was seriously injured while lifting a tripod,

It was the dead ghost from Luoyi who was employed by Qin Xiaogong. He hurriedly crossed the Ruoshui ferry to Haoli and told King Hui about this.

Therefore,

When the Shaqiu coup broke out in Zhao State, Marquis Su of Zhao learned the news first, and then the King of Qin next door heard about it.

However, the dead ghosts were not too surprised that King Yong of Zhao had fallen to this state.

When Shang Yang heard that this man had deposed the eldest son and enthroned the youngest, and that the middle-aged man had abdicated the throne to his youngest son, he pointed out directly, "The State of Zhao will be in chaos because of this!"

"The actions and trends of a country are influenced by the monarch!"

The monarch is wise,

The ministers will naturally be wise.

The monarch is incompetent.

There will be more treacherous and flattering officials.

How many upright and loyal ministers are there in the world?
It's nothing more than "meeting your likes and dislikes".

"Now that Zhao has changed its ruler, why does Zhao Yong think that his subjects will continue to follow him?"

Hu clothing, horse riding and archery,

This had already made the nobles within Zhao very dissatisfied.

Since ancient times,

Only the barbarians learn the principles of Chinese culture.
How could the gentlemen of China learn to dress like the barbarians?

But horseback archery is indeed useful.
In today's world where military force is valued, the nobles of Zhao could only swallow their anger and accept it.

But King Yong of Zhao's subsequent actions left Zhao's ministers confused.

He favored his youngest son and therefore wanted to make him the new crown prince.
This is human nature and a common occurrence among royal nobles, so not many people try to stop it.

But what does it mean that you abdicated to a little child and called yourself "Lord Father"?
If the name is not right, the words will not flow, and then the authority will not be able to attach!
King Yong of Zhao abandoned his title but not his real power, and allowed the former crown prince Zhang to compete for power with the young new king. He also attempted to use his status as the "Grand King" to divide the State of Zhao into two and give them to his two sons to rule together...

No!

If you love Master Zhang,
Why did you destroy him in the first place?
Moreover, Zhao State finally grew stronger.

If it is split up again, won't it become weaker again?

For a while,
All the loyal and treacherous officials in Zhao were troubled by the manipulation of King Yong of Zhao, and then they contacted and colluded for their own interests.

Shang Yang commented on Zhao Wangyong, "He is too confident!"

"I have been in charge of the reform in Qin for more than 20 years, but I still cannot suppress an old minister like Gan Long. Once the King of Qin leaves, I will die."

"It has only been ten years since he adopted the Hu clothing and rode and shot. He has only reformed the military preparations and warfare, but has not made any major changes to the state affairs. Now that he has given up the throne, how can he prevent the counterattack of the conservative ministers?"

"How can two sons coexist and hate each other, and how can they live in harmony as brothers and be loyal subjects and filial sons to him?"

What's more outrageous is that
Prince Zhang rebelled.
When he fled to the Shaqiu Palace, Lord Zhao should have killed him for the sake of national stability, but he opened the door to welcome him and personally protected him, using facts to declare to the entire Zhao State that "rebellion is not a crime". What would Zhao He, who had become the new king, think?
Dear father,

You asked me to be the King of Zhao!
It's alright if you don't give up power.

Now that the eldest brother is rebelling, you are still protecting him!
You might as well pass the throne to your eldest brother!
In a rage, Zhao He ordered the Shaqiu Palace to be trapped in the name of "capturing the fugitive".

Prince Zhang is going to die.
Lord Zhao must die too!
It's already February.

All the servants in the palace ran away, and Zhao Zhang was assassinated in the palace, leaving only Lord Zhao.

"It seems that before long, we will be able to see Zhao Houyu hanging up and beating his son!"

King Xiaogong of Qin was enjoying the fun and clapped his hands.

Zhang Yi said, "That's not necessarily true. Lord Zhao is a man who is good at military affairs. I'm afraid Marquis Su can't catch him."

"It wasn't difficult when I broke Dang'er's leg!" King Huiwen of Qin couldn't help but interject.

"That's because King Wu is kind and filial, and doesn't care about such trivial matters!"

Anyway, the dead ghost's mutilated limbs can be restored.

What's wrong with breaking a leg to make my father happy?

Wait till it's done.

Continue the competition!

　I feel much better after the IV drip.
　　When I came back, I found that my wallet was lost and my phone was broken...

　　〒_〒It's rare for me to take cash out, but the damage is so severe
