Qin Shi

Chapter 10

There are five or six shops opened by merchants from Shandong. Their goods are abundant, they are diligent and dedicated, and they always open their doors at dawn to clean up the house, but none of them opened their doors today.Look again, there was not a single cowherd farmer who went out of the city early in the morning to work.The few small iron shops opened by the Chinese have also lost the sound of tinkling iron.

"Huh? Could it be that Qin people are sleepy like this?" Xuanji shrank her shoulders, "This street is not popular at all, it's so deserted."

"Duke Qin ordered people to detain all the merchants from the six countries. Everyone in Yueyang City was in danger, and the old Qin people were also panicked by the war. They all hid at home, and naturally no one went to the streets."

"No wonder."

"what?"

"It was very noisy last night. The shop next door was noisy all night." Xuanji made a grimace, and suddenly said vividly in a strange Chu dialect, "'Old Grandpa Qin, I am a businessman, not a scout. You can't kill me." Me.'" After finishing speaking, he paused, and said with a low voice, "'I said who wants to kill you? Just stay with us for a few days.''If you don't kill me, where will I go? I have a place Stay here.''Change place!''Please let me go, old man, I have a 16-year-old concubine for you, you can take it with me immediately, or I can send it to the general's mansion right away La.'……"

Listening to Xuanji's imitation, Yi Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Sister Xiangu, it's so wonderful! When you are in danger, you will see it for yourself. Isn't this kind of people able to live in the world, just to make us laugh?"

"What are you laughing at? This fairy can't wait to turn them all into sweet potatoes, so that they can get out of the soil and into the fart."

Yi Qing laughed out loud again, until she burst into tears.

Xuanji raised her eyebrows, and knocked a chestnut on Yi Qing's head: "No big or small. Seeing that your spirit has improved a lot, could it be that you have taken medicine?"

Yi Qing patted her head and smiled: "Without him, I vomit a little bit about the depression in my heart, and I feel much more refreshed."

"Just to vomit that depression and then disappear for an entire hour?" Xuanji smiled half-smile.

"No, I went to see Jing Jian." Yi Qing raised her eyebrows.

"Is he a senior official of Qin State?"

"No, former deputy general of the army."

Xuanji wondered, "As far as I know, Zuo Shu Chang Yingqian, Shang Dafu Qian Long, Zhong Dafu Du Zhi, and Chang Shi Gongsun Jia are the real power centers of the Qin State. Why do you entrust the countermeasures to the same doctor as the same rank?" Little officer?"

"Xiangu doesn't know something," Yi Qing cupped her hands and said, "In the hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the power will inevitably be turbulent at the beginning of the new monarch's accession to the throne. The younger the monarch, the greater the turmoil. At this time, everyone will be extra careful. Even I If you entrust the countermeasures to them, they will not express their opinions easily, and at this time of crisis, only Jing Jian can rely on them."

"Oh?" Xuanji smiled ambiguously, "Can't Yingyu be entrusted?"

Yi Qing just smiled slightly: "Xuanji, how did you and Qingye know each other?"

"Hee hee, you want to know? Go ask her yourself."

"How do I know where she is?"

"Don't worry," Xuanji rolled her eyes mysteriously and Yi Qing said, "With you here, she will come to the door."

Yi Qing scratched her head inexplicably, opened her mouth to ask something, but closed it obediently.

Intuition told her that she must not be able to ask anything.

******

Back at the princess's mansion, she opened the door and entered, but saw Yingyu sleeping with her clothes on, and the little maid who was standing by her side also propping her head up to feel drowsy, Lin Qingye immediately slowed down her steps.

Walking up to the princess before she collapsed, looking at her sleeping face, Lin Qingye sighed thoughtfully.I don't know what Yingyu dreamed about, her willow eyebrows seemed to be frowning, and she was whispering softly.

Raising his palm and slapping the little servant girl on the back of the neck, Lin Qingye supported her against the wall.When she looked at Yingyu again, a faint sadness filled her heart.After a while, the woman in pink standing before the collapse bent down, rolled up her sleeves, and lightly tried the fine sweat on the princess's forehead.Yingyu frowned and turned over, as if disturbed by a dream, she could not sleep soundly.Seeing this, Lin Qingye caressed Yingyu's back, patted and murmured: "Everything will be fine, Yingyu don't worry, Yingyu don't worry." She didn't stop until the eyebrows of the person on the bed gradually relaxed.

Lin Qingye stared blankly at the ground, sometimes frowning, sometimes thinking, sitting for half an hour.After a long time, a strange color flickered in her eyes: "It's just... just... nonsense." When she said this, her jade neck to her earlobe turned red.

The person on the couch moved, and Yingyu finally woke up dimly. Seeing Lin Qingye, she was stunned for a moment, and the look of depression flashed across her eyes. She propped herself up and sat up from the couch: "You are back."

"En." Lin Qingye nodded: "It's time for me to say goodbye too."

Yingyu was a little surprised, but still agreed.

Seeing Yingyu's flickering eyes, Lin Qingye understood, but still asked: "Princess, do you have anything else to ask?"

After a while, Yingyu sighed softly: "Yi Qing, how are you?"

Lin Qingye paused for a long time, and at the end, she looked at Yingyu's hopeful eyes and shook her head: "Since I've finished talking, why bother?"

Yingyu's expression froze, and her face suddenly turned ugly.

"She's in Liyang. It's just that she doesn't seem to want to see you very much."

Yingyu's eyes lit up suddenly: "She...still came to Liyang?"

"You don't believe me?" Lin Qingye smiled slightly, seeing Yingyu's denial, she asked again, "You want to see her?"

Yingyu shook her head: "No." Although her tone was indifferent, her eyes were full of warmth: "I am satisfied if she can come." Thinking of this, Yingyu lightly held Lin Qingye's hand and said sincerely "Miss Lin, Yingyu wants to ask you one more thing."

"You don't have to say, I understand."

"Thank you." There was a hint of gratitude in Yingyu's words.

"It's just... Yi Qing won't appreciate the princess' move." Lin Qingye hesitated for a moment: "Does the princess not regret it?"

"What are you regretting?" Yingyu raised the corners of her mouth, and a look of helplessness flashed across her eyes: "Yingyu just regrets that she didn't tell her personally... I really like her. And yes, I really like her. Besides... As long as she's safe."

Lin Qingye was silent, then nodded and said: "Qingye will also tell you this."

The author has something to say: re-statement, I added some content to the previous chapter, the thunder is rolling~~~~ Will there be a little bit of abuse?Probably not... The female characters appearing in the novel are: Yi Qing, Ying Yu, Wan Yue, Hu Ji, Qing Ye, Xuan Ji.What is your favorite pairing?There were probably three or four more women to come.

☆、Deliberations in the government hall

The monarch ordered that the government be discussed in front of the Five Drum Hall.As the sky was getting brighter, several waves of people came to the interior of the Qin State Political Hall.

First, the doctor Qianlong.This person is a famous Confucian scholar in Gan State, Shandong Province, and the third generation elder of Qin State. When Qin Xiangong went to war for years, it was always Qian Long who presided over the state affairs, and his students and followers were all over Qin State.

Second, Zuo Shu Zhang Yingqian, this person is a nobleman of the public family, the brother of the king, and a powerful minister who leads the three armies.

Thirdly, Chief Shi Gongsun Jia, who is in charge of official secrets, is often at the side of the monarch. Although he has no military power, he is also one of the few key ministers.

Fourth, Liyang Lingzi'an, a descendant of Qin Mugong's famous minister Youyu, was in charge of the military and political power in the capital. Although he was not a key minister of the state government, his actual power was enough to turn the world upside down.

Fifthly, Du Zhi, a Chinese doctor, is a student of Qianlong, who served as the assistant doctor in Qin State Middle School and in charge of Datian Taicang.To assist the doctor as a judge is to confirm that he is the deputy of the doctor; to take charge of Datian Taicang also means that he is also in charge of Qin's farming, grain and storage.At that time, these were the two most important lifeline powers.The Zhou royal family called the minister of this position "Situ", and later called Situ, who was an important minister alongside Sima (in charge of soldiers), Sikong (in charge of engineering), and Sikou (in charge of punishment).

The other two are Princess Yingyu and Jingjian.Logically, it is impossible for Jing Jian to sit with these ministers in such a court meeting, but Duke Xiao personally appointed him as the golden arrow and specially ordered him to attend the court meeting.What he did this time was because he understood the situation as a secret agent and he was able to speak without restraint.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the court meeting, all parties were silent.Even the fiery and straightforward Yingqian, when the monarch asked him how to deal with the merchants of the six countries, he still replied, "There is no decision yet." In fact, both he and Zi'an knew the monarch's arrangement clearly at night.Only the senior doctor, Qian Long, had a clear attitude, "Since the time of Duke Mu, Qin has been at odds with the princes of Shandong. The secret agents and scouts are too vicious. The only policy is to kill them all."

When Qian Long's words fell to the point, Du Zhi immediately echoed loudly, "The doctor has a good opinion. Shandong profiteers are a serious problem for our Qin State, and not killing them will not be enough to stabilize the people's hearts!"

Everyone fell into a brief silence after hearing the words.Qin Xiaogong also wanted to hear the ministers' thoughts on this matter, so he was not in a hurry to speak.After Qian Long finished speaking, he thought of his order last night, and his heart sank.Qin Xiaogong did not expect that there would be such a big difference between him and the senior officials.

Yingyu looked at Qian Long, then at Du Zhi, and said calmly, "The alliance of the Six Nations is a big matter, the doctor should not be hasty." After saying that, she glanced at Jing Jian, who had not spoken.

Jing Jian was puzzled by the cloudy answers of these veterans and ministers.Only one senior doctor, Qian Long, had a clear attitude, but Jing Jian strongly disagreed.But no matter what thoughts and ideas he has, he can't speak first.Everyone here is older, more senior, and more powerful than him.Encouraged by Yingyu at this moment, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lords, Jing Jian thinks that the spies of merchants from the six countries cannot be killed, and killing them will be harmful to Qin."

With a sound of "Pa!", Chinese doctor Du Zhi slapped the table and scolded, "Who are you? How dare you refute the doctor's opinion?"

"I am Jing Jian, the envoy of the Jinling Arrow who went to the Wei State to spy on the secrets. The Qin State is facing a catastrophe, and we must not add fuel to the fire of the six kingdoms!"

"Hahaha, pity for the same kind." A burst of laughter, Jing Jian's words were interrupted by Du Zhi's sharp sarcasm.

Qin Xiaogong's eyes lit up, but he finally didn't speak, he still wanted to take a look.At this time, Yingqian, the head of the left concubine, said, "Du Zhi is rude. In the face of crisis, we should work together. What's wrong with listening to Jingjian?" Yingqian was originally a general with a deep and violent personality. When he spoke, the audience was silent as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Doctor Zhong will be confused if he cares, don't be impetuous." Yingyu followed with a smile.

Du Zhi's words were harsh, and Jing Jian wanted to retaliate, but he was generous by nature and saw the office speak for him, so he didn't care about it anymore.He once again bowed his hands to the monarchs and ministers in the hall, and said in a high voice: "Qin is weak and the six countries are strong. The secret agents of the merchants of the six countries will only stimulate the six countries even more, making them use the pretext of saving the merchants of the six countries to rush forward quickly. With Qin's current strength, how long can we resist?"

Gongsun Jia asked indifferently: "In your opinion, if the spies are not killed, will the Six Kingdoms stop raising their troops?"

Jing Jian said seriously: "If we don't kill the spies, naturally we can't make the six countries stop their troops. However, at least the six countries can't find a reason to attack aggressively, and our Qin country can also find countermeasures during this period."

Du Zhi laughed and said: "Ah, General Jing Jian has a great plan, he has a plan to come up with it."

Jing Jian ignored Du Zhi's sarcasm, and said the words Ye Li Yi Qing had already mastered by heart, "Although there are continuous wars in the world today, everyone must find a grandiose reason for raising troops. Otherwise If the division is unknown, the morale of the people will inevitably be low, and it will be very difficult for the joint forces to fight. If my country, Qin, arrests the spies and does not kill them, it will show the world that Qin is willing to reconcile with the six countries. If they arrest and kill them all, then It is to blatantly form a blood feud with the six kingdoms of Shandong. The ruling and opposition parties of the six kingdoms will hate Qin deeply. , treat their personal well, and let them do business in Qin as usual, and they can go and stay freely. Please weigh the importance of this with your lords." It was reasonable and well-founded when he spoke eloquently.

The little man said something, but there was no one in the hall to refute it, and there was a long silence.Qin Xiaogong was very pleased.He didn't expect that this little friend in his youth would coincide with him so much in major matters?As an old Qin person, there are many men who are staunch, loyal, loyal, hate, hate to death, and love to death, but it is more difficult to find a man who is both tough and flexible and knows how to endure and wait. It is more difficult than forging a sword.Asking the old Qin people to swear to the death to fight for the broken jade rather than the whole, it is a response from all over the world.But if the old Qin people want to hide their power and bide their time in detours, it is a song of the spring and those who make peace will be overwhelmed.Even those famous Shandong Confucian scholars like Gan Long, who lived in Qin State for a long time, have become stubborn and stubborn.As a monarch, the young Ying Quliang has a depth and broadness beyond his age. Naturally, he deeply understands that the strong character of the old Qin tribe is very precious. Otherwise, how could the Qin State dominate the world for 400 years?However, if the upper-level temple figures of Qin State are also such people, how can Qin State achieve great things?Even in the face of this crisis of destroying the country, it is not difficult to show off the courage of the blood, but the difficulty is to calmly endure and take the overall situation into consideration and then turn the danger into a bargain.Who in the old Qin Dynasty doesn't hate the Secret Agents of the Six Kingdoms?Killing them must be supported by the whole country.At this time, it is possible to think of not killing one's most hated enemies, but treating them kindly. How broad a vision does this require?How many chronic diseases in the character of the old Qin people need to be overcome?Not to mention that Jing Jian is still a young general fighting in the battlefield.When Qin Xiaogong thought about this last night, he felt heavy and lonely.But when Jing Jian said this generously and calmly, he was excited and relieved, he felt that he was no longer alone.

Yingyu glanced at Jing Jian silently, for some reason, she frowned and thought, but it was only for a while, then she loosened her brows and looked at Jing Jian with a half-smile, "General Jing Jian is right, it must be The result of hard thinking all the way."

"Don't dare." Jing Jian's face changed slightly.

Yingyu sneered slightly upon hearing this.

At this time, the gruff voice of Zuo Shu Zhang Yingqian sounded, "That's right, with Qin's current strength, we can hardly resist a Wei country, how can we be enemies with the six countries at the same time?"

Liyang Ling Zi'an also followed, "Zi'an agrees with Zuo Shuchang's words, not to kill the spies." He knew very well in his heart that the monarch had originally ordered not to kill or plunder, and Zuo Shuchang's speech was equivalent to finalizing the matter.Because Qianlong was mostly in charge of internal affairs on weekdays, he didn't have much decision-making power over this kind of foreign affairs, and the power in this aspect lay with Zuo Shuchang.

Gongsun Jia kept nodding when everyone was talking, and now he said with a calm smile: "The overall situation is clear. What's going on? It's up to you to decide."

Qianlong remained expressionless and said nothing.Du Zhi just sneered slightly and didn't speak.

Qin Xiaogong patted the book case lightly at this time: "The secret agents of the six countries will not be killed for the time being, the property will not be moved, and the person will not be injured. If there is a change in the movements of the six countries, it will not be too late to kill him. He is in my hands, so why not be afraid?" Yes? However, the Liyang Order must strictly monitor the secret agents of the six countries, and no one is allowed to leave Qin within half a year, let alone escape. Otherwise, there will be no pardon.” The young monarch showed his power for the first time in the Zhengshitang, But he is not angry.

"Your servant obeys." Liyang ordered Zi'an to stand up solemnly, accepting the order loudly.

"Everyone," Qin Xiaogong looked around the hall and said solemnly: "Today's court meeting has actually begun. The Shandong Six Kingdoms Alliance proposed that the six countries rule the world and delineate the sphere of influence for the annexation of small princes. But more importantly, the Shandong Six Kingdoms It is necessary to carve up the state of Qin and turn the world's seven great powers into six great powers. When and by what means will the six powers implement their ambition to divide Qin? It is not clear yet. But what is certain is that Qin is already facing the most difficult situation in a century. The serious crisis of destroying the country. Let the old Qin go to the country together. This is an old oath known to all women and children of Qin. At this time of survival, we, the monarchs and ministers, should work together to plan for the country and work together, so that we can plan a safe Countermeasures and strategies." After speaking, Yoyo toured around, "Everyone, don't have any scruples, whoever speaks first will do."

There was another silence.Prior to this, these ministers had also heard all kinds of news about the Alliance of the Six Nations, including various rumors intentionally leaked to them by spies from the Six Nations.Today, the monarch solemnly proposed and consulted the plan of life and death, and the ministers immediately felt strong pressure. Fighting is impossible, escape is impossible, and surrender is impossible. We must come up with a countermeasure that can neither fight nor flee nor surrender. can resolve this crisis.However, the crisis is imminent, how to think carefully in a hurry?For a while, no one had anything to say.

The senior official, Qianlong, is knowledgeable and has presided over state affairs for a long time. He is a senior veteran present. It is not in line with the law. I, Qin, was originally the founding prince of Pingwang who moved to the east. I have made great contributions to the royal family. The emperor will not sit idly by when Qin is in trouble. The old minister thought that when he wrote to the King of Zhou in Luoyang, he issued an edict in the name of the emperor. Refute the fallacy of the six-nation alliance, and the truth will be revealed to the world. At the same time, in the name of the royal family, our Qin State united a number of small and medium-sized princes to form an army of hundreds of thousands to compete with the soldiers and horses of the six countries. If this can be done, the crisis will be solved The country is very lucky." Gan Long carefully chose his words, and his words were very cautious, and it was by no means a clear decision to argue with reason, but only spoke in a deliberative tone of "what the old minister thinks".But this is precisely a kind of reserve formed by his identity, power and prestige, which by no means means that he is ambiguous.

Jing Jian has no idea about the habits, style and intricate relationship of the powerful officials in the country. He thinks that as long as he finishes what he thinks, he will live up to the monarch's trust, and he doesn't look at anyone's face.At this moment, after listening to Qian Long's countermeasure, he couldn't help laughing out loud, but tried hard to hold it back.Seeing that no one was talking, he coughed and asked solemnly: "The doctor's countermeasures are too pedantic. The Zhou royal family has declined to an isolated city, and it is difficult to protect itself. Who will recognize this emperor from the six kingdoms? Not to mention that the king of Zhou dare not speak out. Or if it is issued, what is the use of a piece of edict? As for uniting small and medium-sized princes in the name of the royal family, it is even more impracticable..."

"Jing Jian is bold!" Du Zhi's face turned red, and he interrupted the topic loudly: "What the doctor said is very true. The name is right, and the word is right. The alliance of the Six Nations, Zhou Tianzi, Qin State and the princes of the world are being bullied together. My Qin State Only by denouncing its absurdity in the name of the Son of Heaven can we call on the princes of the world to form a multi-national alliance! How can you say that you are pedantic and illogical?"

"Doctor Du," Yingqian said coldly, "Your Majesty has something to say, and you have no scruples about your words, so why are you in such a hurry?"

Du Zhi was at a loss for words, "Okay, okay, let, let him talk."

Yingyu smiled slightly when she saw this, "Seeing that the doctor's opinion was refuted, Doctor Du just lost his composure. Brother, don't let the doctor's respect for the teacher be broken, but since your majesty has something to say, the doctor's temper is put back." It’s better. Moreover, the people in the court are all expressing their own opinions. Right and wrong also depend on the time and situation, and there is no conclusion. The doctor should not be impatient.”

Du Zhi's face softened slightly, and he said yes.

Gongsun Jia made an exception and interjected, "It works, but it's really useless. Your Majesty makes a clear decision."

Jing Jian was honest and honest, "I don't agree with the doctor's idea. But I haven't thought of any countermeasure yet." Du Zhi smiled coldly, gave Jing Jian a hard look, opened his mouth and stopped talking.

Zuo Shu Zhang Yingqian kept tapping on the book table, frowning and meditating. At this moment, he raised his head and said: "The emperor's edict is feasible but useless for the doctor's policy. It is feasible but useless to unite troops to fight against it. Not to mention the hastily assembled allied forces. There is no combat power at all, and it is extremely difficult to establish a multi-national alliance. Besides the six countries, there are still 32 small and medium-sized vassal states in the world, with a total of about 30 troops and horses, which is indeed a large number. But they Divided by the six kingdoms in various fragmentary crevices, soldiers and horses could not gather across the big kingdoms. Even if they crossed over, they would not be able to enter the Hangu Pass. Also, the Six Great Powers were eager to swallow up the small and medium-sized princes, and these tiny kingdoms How dare you provoke the big country to send you to the tiger? It is really possible to capture our envoy and go to the big country to claim credit. Going to the doctor, Yingqian thinks, we have to find a better plan."

Qian Long was a little embarrassed, but he still chuckled, "Of course. If you have a good strategy, you should be taught."

Liyang Lingzi'an sneered: "These little princes, hmph, it is possible to let them follow the army of the six countries and divide the meat of Qin. If you want to unite with Qin, hehehe, they can't hide in time."

"Then do you have any brilliant ideas? Take them out." Du Zhi blushed and said loudly.

The author has something to say: Recently, everyone is looking for a passionate drama, so distressed.Zhu Yu promises that Yingyu and Yi Qing will meet after the discussion in the Zhengshitang.But there will be no H for now.

Most of the content of this chapter is also copied, and it is estimated that the next chapter will be the same. Readers who want to complain can make complaints.I like Ying Quliang and Ying Qian. I will not delete the scenes.

Perhaps some girls want to say that they have copied it like this, so it is better to read the original work directly.Ah, this is my original intention--if you want the name of the original work, you can leave your email address, and I will send it to you. It doesn't matter if you abandon the pit.

☆、Deliberations in the government hall

"If you want me to tell you, let's fight to the death with the Six Kingdoms!" Zi'an suddenly stood up, pulled out the dagger in his hand, and thrust it into the brick on the ground, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Bird! Are you so scared? Old Qin Human blood is shed on the battlefield. Didn’t the old Qin clan forcefully carve out a piece of land in the siege of Rong and Di? There was no way out, and there was no way out. Road? Please give the order to make 20 filial piety clothes and fight against the six kingdoms! Zi'an asks to be a vanguard general, and if he does not behead a hundred thousand heads, he will not return alive!" The descendants of this famous minister were impassioned and burst into tears, obviously for this kind of court discussion The nagging was so impatient that he forgot that this was the Zhengshitang.However, his impassioned cursing and generosity to fight is indeed the true nature of the old Qin people, which frightened Du Zhi and Gongsun Jia who had never fought a bloody battle, dumbfounded.

Yingyu's breathing became chaotic, she lowered her eyes, her face flushed, and her body trembled slightly.

"Zi'an, put your sword back. This is the political hall, not the battlefield." Zuo Shu Chang Yingqian changed his expression.Yingqian is the commander-in-chief of the Qin army and a powerful general who shocked the three armies, and only he can deter the unique impulse of the old Qin people.

Zi'an silently pulled out the short sword stuck in the ground, and sat down before returning to the case with a sullen face, weeping and wiping away tears.

Qin Xiaogong's face was as usual, he didn't seem to notice Zi'an's fierce generosity, and he didn't mean to blame him at all.At this moment, he just felt that with Yingqian as his concubine brother and Yingyu as his younger sister, he saved half of his energy.The two of them, one red and one white, matched very effectively, and he blocked the opinions of his subordinates without making a sound, so he had room to fully think about everyone's propositions.Of course, there is no need to think about Zi'an's claim.It is a tragic road of martyrdom. When there is no way to retreat, the only option is to draw the sword and rise to the bloody battlefield to live and die with the country.As long as you are mentally prepared, there is no need to think too much.In times of crisis, the bravery of the main fighters is always the most valuable.As the king of a country, he can ignore his words, but he can't hurt his heart anyway.He stood up from his seat, walked to Zi'an, handed him a white cloth sweat towel, and sighed, "Zi'an, if Qin has nowhere to go, I will fight to the end like you. The ministers here They will also draw their swords."

"Wow——" Zi'an burst into tears.

For a moment, all the monarchs, ministers and princesses in the hall wiped away their tears and sighed.

Qin Xiaogong stood in the hall and asked slowly and heavily: "Everyone, is it true that Qin has nowhere to go?" He looked at the only supervisor Jing who did not speak.As long as there is one person who doesn't speak, Qin Xiaogong will not express his own thoughts. He must base his decision-making on the basis of his subordinates' opinions to the greatest extent.The new king is on the throne, and the best way to get the ministers to work together is to make them feel that they are promoting their own ideas.Unless it is necessary to make a decisive decision at an emergency like last night, Qin Xiaogong would rather let his ministers come down to make a decision.This is not only the result of his thinking, but also the result of his character.

"Your Majesty, my lords," Jing Jian stood up and muttered, "I have a policy, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Qin Xiaogong laughed heartily and said: "Life and death, we will do anything. As long as it is useful, it is elegant. Tell me, I'll wait to hear about this indecent strategy." Du Zhi couldn't hold back a "Hang Chi" smile, and quickly covered his mouth bow your head.

Jing Jian, on the other hand, was generous, looked around and saw Yingyu's meaningful eyes, and hurriedly looked away.After calming down, he said in a loud voice: "Jingjian thinks, there is only one plan available at the moment: secretly lobbying the six countries, buying powerful officials with a lot of money, dividing the six countries, delaying the time, so that the six countries will disintegrate the Qin alliance. Among the six countries, Qi and Qin I, Qin, do not take the initiative to take the lead. South Korea’s Yan State is the weakest, and it will not attack Qin alone. The three kingdoms of Wei, Chu, and Zhao are the most powerful, and they are also the most powerful and most likely to attack Qin alone. And Wei, Chu, and Zhao In the Three Kingdoms, there are powerful ministers who love money and sex. Especially Wei Guo, because the king of Wei loves jewelry and famous utensils, the ministers are often greedy. As long as we bribe beautiful women with a lot of money and promise other benefits, these powerful ministers will definitely not disappoint us .If the three kingdoms do not move, the division of the six kingdoms into Qin will naturally be delayed, and the alliance will collapse if it is delayed."

"Everyone, it really is an indecent policy." Qin Xiaogong couldn't help laughing.

All the ministers in the hall laughed, only Yingyu was thoughtful.Du Zhi laughed so hard that his tears and snot couldn't be wiped away, and he coughed repeatedly.Qian Long frowned and shook his head, "Beauty pays a lot of money? How decent is it? Wouldn't it make the world laugh?" Gongsun Jia just laughed, but didn't speak.Liyang Ling Zian clicked his lips, "Jingjian, which Jingjian, thank you for thinking it out!" Zuo Shu Zhang Yingqian smiled slightly, but was silent in thought.

Only Jing Jian didn't smile at all, and looked at the monarch and ministers blankly.

Yingqian suddenly stood up, "The policy of Jingjian is to turn the ugliness into the ugliness, which is very useful. Speaking of which, isn't that country vicious and vicious under Fang today? Zhao Chenghou is a man, in order to win Wei, he insisted on throwing away his beauty. The concubine was given to the king of Wei. Didn’t the state of Chu bribe the general of the state of Qi, Tian Ji, three thousand pieces of gold to make Qi and Chu stop the army? Pang Juan, who is known as a celebrity, bribed the concubine of the king of Wei in order to become the prime minister. When the country is alive and dead, there is Why taboo? After all, the old Qin people used to only know that soldiers came to block water and come to the earth, but they didn't think of using dirty tricks. Now that the six countries force us to use dirty tricks, we will use them. Why are we afraid of him?"

After finishing speaking, Yingyu echoed, "Brother's words are very true."

Seeing that the office had reached an agreement, everyone could only put away their smiles and bow their heads in meditation.

Gongsun Jia murmured: "Dare to ask the doctor, how much money does the treasury have? How many beauties does Qin have?"

Qian Long sneered, "I only know that the gold is less than five thousand. How many beauties are there? Hmph, probably only Chang Shi knows."

Gongsun Jia didn't seem to notice Qian Long's ridicule, and said to himself: "Five thousand gold? If there are two powerful ministers in each of the three kingdoms of Wei, Chu, and Zhao, that would be six people. Excluding the special envoy's gold for secret activities and the gold for collecting beautiful women, each powerful minister would only be worth [-] gold." You can get three hundred gold. The rewards that the powerful officials of Wei, Chu, and Zhao received from the king are often hundreds of gold, and their appetites are extremely greedy. They may not even look at three hundred gold. If there is no amount of ten thousand gold, this plan is difficult OK. General Jingjian, what do you think?"

As a low-level general who fought fiercely on the battlefield, Jing Jian really didn't know that the government was so tight.What Gongsun Jia said is indeed true.For a while, Jing Jian was stunned in the hall, speechless.

Du Zhi looked quite serious, "I can give the three hundred gold rewarded by the late emperor to General Jingjian, but it's just a drop in the bucket, and it's hard to sustain."

Qian Long sneered, "The old man can also take out [-] gold, is that enough?"

Suddenly, Qin Xiaogong, who had been pacing and meditating, had bright eyes, as if he had realized something because of this, and stood there without moving for a long time, as if he was thinking about something again.For a moment, he glanced at the hall with piercing eyes, "Everyone, the sword of the six kingdoms has pierced my throat, and the country's peril is at stake. We, the monarchs and ministers, can't stick to it. Duke Xiang of the Spring and Autumn Song Dynasty abides by benevolence and righteousness, and does not strike halfway through. Soldier, defeating the master, humiliating the country, and laughing at the world. However, Song Xianggong lost his position as a small hegemony after all. Otherwise, if he binds his hands and feet, the old Qin people will perish and exterminate the country. The six countries want to destroy Qin and divide Qin, the most vicious It is a front and back attack. The Eastern soldiers suppressed the border, and at the same time instigated the western Rongdi rebellion. At that time, the old Qin people might not even have a retreat back to the Longxi River Valley. They want to wipe out the old Qin tribe, and we will not even surrender. Accept it. This is the subjugation of the country, please consider it.” Suddenly, he turned his back and his shoulders trembled slightly.

All the audience was moved for a while, and a biting coldness suddenly penetrated everyone's spine.

Gongsun Jiakang said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty's choice is that, the ministers will wait until they die!" He is a person who rarely expresses his position clearly, but at this moment he is also panting heavily with his face flushed. "Through the water and the edge, death will not follow your heels" is the Mohist oath that has been spread all over the world. It is said that Mohist disciples follow Mozi.It is very exciting that Gongsun Jia used this oath here today.Everyone couldn't help being generous in unison, "If you go through fire and water, you will die!"

Qin Xiaogong has already turned around, his voice is slightly hoarse, "The blood of Ying Quliang will flow with the people of old Qin."

"Your Majesty—" "Second Brother—" Several ministers, together with Yingyu and Jingjian, prostrated themselves on the ground, choking.

Qin Xiaogong let out a long breath, and his tone became calm, "Everyone, please, the old Qin people are not easy to bully, we still have to come up with an opinion, otherwise, we will have no face to face the people of the country."

"But it's up to you to decide!" Everyone said in unison.

"To tell you the truth, the plan of Jingjian can be regarded as an emergency strategy." Qin Xiaogong walked down the three steps, pacing slowly, "Beauty with a lot of money, and a lot of money is the key. As for the beauty, it's good to have it, and it doesn't hurt the overall situation if you don't have it. The [-] pieces of gold stored in the government cannot be used. It is the lifeblood of Qin's [-] troops. In addition, it cannot be expropriated from the people. After a hundred years of turbulent wars, more than half of the people of Qin fled, and those who stayed were old Qin people. They have already He was about to be squeezed dry, and his family was destitute and impoverished, leaving only the blood of the old Qin people. No matter how difficult the government is, they can’t take their ideas.” When the young monarch said this, his eyes were already full of tears, and he was so heavy that he stopped. Come down and breathe.After a while, Qin Xiaogong raised his head and said passionately, "When the country is in crisis, where does the gold come from? Ying Quliang, as the king of Qin, is willing to take out the two thousand gold from the king's private treasury, and then give away the treasures that the Zhou royal family has bestowed in the past. The treasures are given together. There are still gaps in the rest..." Suddenly, he stopped talking.

In an instant, the hall of the Political Affairs Hall was silent.The ministers were deeply shocked by the announcement of the young monarch.Since ancient times, it is unheard of for a monarch to use a private treasury and donate all the treasures in the treasury.The monarch's private treasury is actually a disguised form of the treasury.These money treasures are mainly used for two purposes. One is to provide daily expenses for the monarch's palace, and the other is to reward meritorious subjects.Because these two uses are decided by the monarch without the need for the Minister of Finance, it has been customary to regard the palace treasury as the monarch's private treasury.The palace of the Qin State has always been simple, and there are less than 1000 people in total for the monarch's guards, servants, maids, workshop craftsmen, and various civil servants.The direct lineage of the king of Qin never lived in the palace, but like all the big clans of Qin, except for the old and young women who were entrusted to farm the land, almost all the men were in the army and did not need the palace to support them.In this way, the main purpose of the money in the private treasury of the Qin State Palace is actually to reward and comfort the soldiers who died in battle.For the king of a country, the authority under the rule cannot be separated from the two words of official and salary. The loss of money and treasures in the treasury of the king means that the king of a country will be reduced to a tragic situation where there is no reward for meritorious officials. Anyone who thinks about it will feel guilty.The bounden duty of a minister is to share worries with you.The monarch's family is surrounded by walls, so what's the face of the ministers?

The six courtiers in the hall stood up abruptly, knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, you can't—"

Yingyu held back her tears, turned her face away and couldn't bear to look any more.she
