Chapter 481 The Zen position enters the Qin Dynasty
"Isn't it that we pay land tax and corvee every year so that the dignitaries don't have to farm the land themselves and have more time to seek better benefits for us? If you can't do these things, little old man
So what if you curse a few words?" The old man continued to curse.
Li Mu could only accept it, and Ying Zheng was also scolded but could not retaliate.
"Zhao Guozhen has been fighting for too long, we need to rest!" The old man stopped talking, and finally looked at Li Mu's salute and said almost pleadingly, "The little old man knows that these two nobles are big shots in Handan and have their own reputation and reputation.
Honor, but I hope you will see the lives, blood and tears we have sacrificed for Zhao and let us live a good life."
"Everyone in the world knows that our Zhao Kingdom is brave and brave, but who knows that our Zhao Kingdom has ten houses and nine empty houses? Xiao Lao'er's three sons and two grandsons have all died on the battlefield, including the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Hadai.
, there is also the Battle of Yanmen Pass, please be kind and give me some good hope!" The old man burst into tears unconsciously.
Both Li Mu and Ying Zheng felt heavy in their hearts, and finally understood why Jin Yao was so committed to people's livelihood.
Who cares? People care!
Li Mu and Ying Zheng didn't know how they returned, but they both knew what they were shouldering.
Especially Li Mu, after returning to the General's Mansion, he stared at the book in a daze for three days and three nights.
"General, the foreign minister wants to see you!" Finally, the elder pushed open Li Mu's study.
"General!" Neither Jia Lao nor Guo Kai could believe their eyes. What they saw in front of them was not the high-spirited general who destroyed the Yan Kingdom, but an extremely old man whose hair had turned gray overnight.
"Guo Xiang!" Li Mu turned to look at Guo Kai and said hoarsely as a salute.
"General, why are you like this?" Guo Kai sighed.
"Prime Minister Guo, let's enter Qin!" Li Mu looked at Guo Kai and spoke slowly after a long time.
Guo Kai looked at Li Mu and looked directly into his eyes. Seeing that Li Mu was not hiding or hiding, he also understood that Li Mu was not testing him, but actually had such an intention, and he sighed deeply.
"The reputation of the Prime Minister has always been bad. If it is gone, it will be gone. But the General is the God of War of our Zhao Kingdom and the backbone of our army. Are you sure you want to do this?" Guo Kai asked rhetorically.
His reputation is not very good, or not very famous, but Li Mu is different. Li Mu is the God of War in the hearts of Zhao people and the spiritual pillar. If he joins the Qin Dynasty, Li Mu will also be infamy for the ages!
"I am a young general in Yanmenguan. It is because of Your Majesty that I am able to achieve today's glory. Even before Your Majesty left, you were still worried about the people of the world. I cannot protect the Zhao State, but I must ensure that the people of the Zhao State can enjoy peace forever!" Li Mu said with a heavy heart.
Talking.
He thought a lot for three days and finally decided to enter Qin and send the maps of Zhao and Yan to Qin.
It’s not that he is incapable of protecting the State of Zhao, nor that the current State of Zhao cannot compete with other countries and rule the world, but that he is tired, and so is the State of Zhao, and does not want to experience any more wars!
"I don't care. If the general has made up his mind, just go to Xianyang for a visit!" Guo Kai sighed. The whole Handan was waiting for Li Mu's decision, whether to support the old Zhao Gongzi or to establish himself as king, but no one
I would have thought that Li Mu would give up the throne within his reach, turn to Qin, and bear the infamy!
"The King of Qin is in Handan!" Li Mu said looking at Guo Kai.
"That's it!" Guo Kai nodded. No wonder Li Mu thought of surrendering to Qin.
"Let's go to see King Qin together!" Guo Kai suggested.
Li Mu nodded and took Guo Kai to the inn where Ying Zheng was staying.
"Zheng, I have met the general, Prime Minister Guo!" Ying Zheng looked at Guo Kai and Li Mu who were coming and knew that Li Mu had an answer.
"Greetings to the King of Qin!" Li Mu and Guo Kai also saluted, but the difference was that after Li Mu saluted, he sat aside and did not care about anything else, leaving Guo Kai and Ying Zheng to talk.
"Kai wants to know, what can Qin give us when General Kai and General Kai lead the people of Yan and Zhao into Qin?" Guo Kai looked at Ying Zheng and asked.
The State of Zhao could invade Qin, but it could never surrender to Qin. Therefore, Guo Kai took the word "in" very seriously.
Ying Zheng also understood the meaning of Guo Kai's words and said solemnly, "When Yan and Zhao entered Qin, they were no different from the Qin people. They were not new citizens of the Qin State. They were just like the Qin people. They were all Chinese people. Dare you ask Mr.
Enter the Qin Dynasty and serve as a guest official, discipline the people, and confirm that the government's words are true!"
After Dun Rui left, the position of Dian Ke Qing of the Qin State was freed up, and the task of Dian Ke Qing was to take charge of all peoples and tribes, both internally and externally, which was equivalent to Guo Kai's current position.
More importantly, only if Guo Kai holds this position can Yan Zhao be convinced and know that nothing he says is false!
"Okay, even if what King Qin said is not false, then let's ask King Qin again. Did King Qin know during his trip to Xianyang that King Qin might make the decision?" Guo Kai continued to ask.
Ying Zheng hesitated. He had not yet succeeded to the throne in Qin, so his promise may not be effective.
Li Mu stopped drinking and said calmly, "The King of Qin should have taken over the government long ago. Mu is willing to lead an army of 300,000 and return to Xianyang with the King of Qin!"
Ying Zheng looked at Li Mu in surprise. If Li Mu returned to Xianyang with Zhao's 300,000 troops, then no one in Xianyang would be able to shake his position.
He can also take all the king's power back into his own hands, and even Lu Buwei and others can no longer ignore him!
But the only thing he needs to worry about is whether Li Mu and Zhao's army did this on purpose to deceive Hangu Pass and go straight to Xianyang to destroy Qin.
"We can't trust merchants, nor can we trust other people in Xianyang. The only one we can trust is the King of Qin!" Li Mu continued.
They knew very well how Xianyang wanted to divide Yan and Zhao, and what the nobles of Qin thought, so they also had to get certain rights in the merged Qin to ensure the interests of Yan and Zhao.
Ying Zheng also understood what Li Mu and Guo Kai meant. What they wanted was not only the position of two Jiuqing, but also the absolute right to speak!
"Yes!" Ying Zheng hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed that Li Mu would lead the army and return to Xianyang with him.
If you want to gain, you will lose.
Rather than being ostracized in Qin, he hoped to take back all his rights. Even if he was held hostage by Li Mu and Guo Kai, he would admit it.
The most important thing is that Li Mu and Guo Kai have no foundation in Xianyang, and the only one they can trust is him. This kind of relationship is actually stronger.
"First of all, the State of Zhao is not surrendering to Qin, but His Majesty's throne is with the King of Qin. This cannot be changed!" Guo Kai spoke again after seeing that the key matters were discussed.
】
"Yes!" Ying Zheng nodded.
"Secondly, Qin is not allowed to send additional troops to Zhao!" Guo Kai continued.
"Yes!" Ying Zheng nodded again.
"Finally, Zhao must occupy two seats among the nine ministers of Qin!" Guo Kai finally spoke.
"Yes!" Ying Zheng also agreed.
"General Mu, is there anything else you would like to add?" Guo Kai looked at Li Mu and asked.
Li Mu shook his head and signaled that he was done with it.
Ying Zheng nodded, and then said, "In that case, Na Zheng also has a few requests."
"King Qin, please speak." Guo Kai nodded.
"First, Zhao State enters Qin State, and Qin State selects officials to enter Zhao State to govern the place. Zhao State must cooperate!" Ying Zheng said.
"Of course!" Li Mu and Guo Kai nodded.
"Second, Zhao's laws, writing, weights and measures, and coins must be the same as those of Qin!" Ying Zheng said again.
"Yes!" Li Mu and Guo Kai nodded again. This was also Jin Yao's plan.
"Third, the Zhao army must obey Xianyang's order and assist Qin in governing the local area and the northern barbarians!" Ying Zheng looked at Li Mu.
