Qin Luoheng gave the emperor a decoction as usual. Because the medicinal materials used were very few, the decoction was not bitter.
Finish drinking the medicine.
Ying Zheng is sitting on the couch.
He looked at Qin Luoheng who was busy with things, frowned, but soon relaxed, and then said: "Do you still remember the countermeasures you proposed in the court the day before yesterday?"
Qin Luoheng bowed and said, "Of course I remember."
Ying Zheng said: "I was not feeling well that day, so I didn't say anything about the countermeasures you proposed. In fact, there are big problems with your suggestions."
"There were a lot of riots in the city at that time, rumors were rampant, and escapees abounded. In this turbulent and uneasy situation, we must quickly quell the situation, and we must act quickly, ruthlessly, and decisively. Your suggestions are indeed somewhat advisable.
place."
"But not enough!
"
"You're thinking too one-sided!"
"You only suggested hunting down the nobles of the Six Nations, but you didn't think about how to clean them up. You can't show any mercy to the fleeing nobles of the Six Nations. Since they dare to escape, it shows that they have rebellious intentions. According to law, they should directly
Kill the three tribes!”
"The nobles of the six countries in the city cannot tolerate it either!"
"And the officials along the way should be strictly investigated. The number of people fleeing this time must be inseparable from the local officials in the court. These black sheep should be uncovered together and dealt with as many as possible. They should not be blindly dealt with
For stability."
"To deal with rebellious people, Da Qin only has swords and axes!"
"Do you think it's cruel?"
"The nobles from the six countries who stayed in the city, how innocent they look? There are also the officials along the way. They may not know it, but there is no such thing as innocence in the world."
"If something happens to me, what will happen to the nobles of the six countries?"
"At that time, not only one hundred or two hundred people will die in the world, but tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of people will die. Aren't these people innocent?"
"Indeed."
"There will be accidental and unnecessary killings."
"But so what?"
"Until the final situation is determined, who can guarantee that this is wrong?"
"Who can guarantee that the remaining nobles of the Six Nations in the city have no second thoughts? Who can guarantee that the officials in Guanzhong did not intentionally let the nobles of the Six Nations off? Who can really guarantee that if something happens to Great Qin in the future, these will
Officials won’t surrender just by kowtowing?”
"Those who are both snakes and rats will be killed!"
Although Ying Zheng's face was pale, the sharpness in his eyes did not diminish at all.
Qin Luoheng was silent.
What the First Emperor said contrasted him with what later generations said.
Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.
The nobles of the Six Kingdoms had only two options, either to completely surrender to the Qin Dynasty, or to completely rebel against the Qin Dynasty, hesitating and hesitating, this kind of opportunistic approach would not be recognized by all parties at all, and would only make both sides hate each other.
The same goes for the remaining nobles of the Six Nations in the city.
Even in the eyes of the First Emperor, they were already dead.
The same goes for the officials along the way.
When all the nobles of the Six Kingdoms fled, they lacked keen judgment and failed to make correct judgments. In the end, these nobles of the Six Kingdoms were able to escape. These were the crimes committed by officials along the way.
Amidst the turmoil...
This sin is deadly!
This approach is indeed too cold-blooded.
But it still makes sense.
Because this is what the Qin Dynasty has always practiced!
Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng, with a hint of indifference in his eyes, and continued: "Since you noticed that Zhao Gao had a problem, why did you only remove him from the post of Fu Xi Commander? How can you be so half-hearted in doing things? Indecisive? Or it is inevitable.
, or abolish them all!”
"Isn't it child's play to be so indecisive?"
"Zhao Gaoshang can't do anything to you now. If it happens in the future, he may not be vengeful. He will either do something or not do anything that offends others. He must never be hesitant."
"You've made a big mistake!"
Qin Luoheng blushed and did not dare to refute at all.
Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and then said: "I heard earlier that you specifically asked Qiang Fu to let the nobles of Chu country survive during the search. Is this true?"
Qin Luoheng gritted his teeth and said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"I did say that."
"I'll give you a chance to explain!" Ying Zheng said indifferently.
Qin Luoheng said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"The reason why I did this is to stabilize Chu Land."
"Among the six regions in Shandong, the two regions that resent Qin the most are Zhao and Chu."
"Most of Zhao's resentment towards Qin stems from the Battle of Changping. After the Changping Battle, almost every family in Zhao was austere, so the people in Zhao had a lot of resentment towards Qin. However, in my opinion, the nobles in Zhao had a lot of resentment towards Qin.
Da Qin is actually more fearful than resentful."
"Furthermore, after the Changping War, Zhao Di has not yet recovered its strength, so there is nothing to fear."
"But Chu Di is not like that."
"Since the late Warring States Period, there has been a saying circulating in the world that the one who unified the world was Qin and Mo Chu. The Qin Dynasty ruled the world with laws and perfect systems. The Qin people were brave and good at fighting. The Chu State was dominated by Taoism, with a prosperous economy and a profound cultural heritage."
"Therefore, the nobles of Chu State have always had a sense of superiority."
"They didn't admit defeat."
"So compared to other places in the world, Chu is the easiest place to rebel. Therefore, Da Qin has the strictest supervision over the nobles of Chu. However, Chu is actually different from other places. Because Chu has a vast territory, sparsely populated areas, and abundant resources, it has led to internal conflicts.
There are many factions and constant internal fighting.”
"In the past hundred years."
"Many new rich people were born in Chu land."
"There is a huge gap between these new aristocrats and the old aristocrats. They are even hostile to each other and dislike each other. They all think that the other party is blocking the Chu Kingdom's hegemony."
"Practically speaking, the old clan in Chu has a bigger problem."
"The old clans have rigid ideas and cannot tolerate flexibility or change. The new nobles are more energetic and ambitious. When the imperial court moved the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to Xianyang, most of the people who moved from the Chu region were old nobles, but most of the new nobles were
Fleeed."
"That creates a problem."
"Originally, the old nobles had the upper hand in the Chu Territory, but now the old nobles are imprisoned in Xianyang, and the resources originally occupied by the old nobles are gradually being taken away by the new nobles. The new nobles are hostile to Qin's unification of the world, and are also the most powerful.
Oppositional.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Isn't this just sitting back and watching the anti-Qin forces grow bigger?"
"I asked General Qiang Yu to let these old clans go back because I wanted to stir up disputes between the old and new nobles in the Chu region, so that the nobles in the Chu region would be busy fighting among themselves and would have no time to resist the imperial court, thus preventing the anti-Qin forces in the Chu region from further expanding.
.”
"Then the effect of differentiation and weakening is achieved."
"These are some of my humble opinions. They are indeed inappropriate. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng's eyes were indifferent.
He said coldly:
"Whether the Chu State is a new aristocracy or an old aristocracy? How did Great Qin ever fear it? How many times did Chu State gain the upper hand in the confrontation with Da Qin? Even though he was as stubborn as Xiang Yan, he eventually collapsed and committed suicide under the iron cavalry of Great Qin."
"Whether it is the new nobles or the old clans in the Chu land, if they dare to rebel, I will dare to let the cavalry trample through the Chu land again. I will destroy the Chu country. I don't believe how much trouble can be caused by some remnants?
"
Qin Luoheng smiled awkwardly.
There was no rebuttal.
Xiang Yan was indeed defeated and killed in battle.
Logically speaking, the Xiang family should have turned from prosperity to decline, but who knew that Xiang Yu would appear. This man has left his name in history. How could he dare to underestimate him? He has always spared no effort to deal with an enemy like Xiang Yu.
Respond with the utmost malice.
after all.
This kind of existence does too much harm to the world.
If you can press him to death early, it is better to press him to death in advance.
but.
It's hard to explain this kind of thing clearly.
He didn't know how to say it, so he could only say: "The Qin Dynasty will not be afraid of the Chu people who have perished, but it must be on guard against them. When Xiang Yan was defeated, the nobles of Chu were actually unwilling to accept it, and the court
If we pursue and attack the old aristocracy, it will inevitably lead to the rapid rise of the new aristocracy."
"Xiang Yan is extremely prestigious in the Chu region, which is why the Xiang family has been able to evade arrest by the government many times. If all the old nobles are wiped out, the Xiang family may not take advantage of the situation. Without the old nobles standing in the way, the Chu region will definitely unite behind the Xiang family.
With the same clan, the old nobles being wiped out, and the common enemy, Chu Territory may become a serious trouble for the Qin Dynasty."
"I think this matter is unnecessary."
"The Chu Territory is already good at internal strife. Instead of spending a lot of effort to contain it, we should drive away the wolves and swallow the tigers, let the old nobles go back, and let them fight privately. The more fierce the internal fighting is, the more divided the Chu Territory will undoubtedly be.
And the harm the Chu people do to Da Qin will be lower."
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Ying Zheng's eyes closed slightly.
He thought for a moment and finally nodded.
said:
"It won't happen again."
Hear the words.
Qin Luoheng couldn't help but feel happy.
He had been slapped in the face for a while before, but now that the First Emperor finally recognized it, he felt it was not easy.
Immediately afterwards.
Ying Zheng pointed out other issues.
Qin Luoheng stood aside respectfully and accepted the training honestly.
but.
After some training, he also benefited a lot.
At least, he had a deeper understanding of the operation of the court, and he also felt the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness of the Qin system.
Finished giving instructions.
Ying Zheng is already a little tired.
However, he had no intention of taking a rest, but instead ordered: "Go and get some memorials for me. I want to read them."
Qin Luoheng did not obey the order.
Advise:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to obey my orders."
"Your Majesty's body has not fully recovered. If you continue to work so hard, your Majesty's body may have serious problems. I suggest that your Majesty take more rest during these days and take good care of your body. It will not be too late to review the memorial in the future."
"Prime Minister Li and others will handle the political affairs of the court, so nothing will happen."
Ying Zheng looked unhappy.
He raised his head, but wanted to scold.
However, seeing Qin Luoheng's insistence, he just snorted coldly and said calmly: "I know, I don't need you to worry about me."
"Go down."
"I'm going to rest."
Qin Luoheng saluted and said, "I take my leave."
Finished.
Qin Luoheng slowly retreated.
Ying Zhengku sat on the couch, looking at Qin Luoheng's retreating figure, his expression a little calm, and finally chose to lie down.
Regarding the matter between him and Qin Luoheng, only the last layer of window paper remained unopened, but the two of them maintained a certain tacit understanding. Qin Luoheng did not ask, and he did not take the initiative to bring it up.
