My brother is the most handsome man in the Qin Dynasty Chapter 111 The rich and powerful moved to Xianyang! Collecting soldiers from all over the world and creating a golden man!
Chapter 111 The rich and powerful moved to Xianyang! Collecting soldiers from all over the world and creating a golden man!
Wang Wan, who had red and swollen eyes, Li Si, who had a rigid face, Meng Yi, the youngest, and Fu Zikang, a tall and thin man. The four senior officials of the Qin State were all deep in thought and did not dare to answer for a while.
This matter is a major event for the Qin State and even the world. If you are not careful, it may cause smoke and chaos everywhere.
Xianyang, the capital of Qin State today, is different from the imperial capitals of later generations of China, and not everyone yearns for it.
For the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, Qin was really a boring country.
What’s the point of a country where the only entertainment facilities are terraces and even drinking is against the law?
Although Xianyang is the capital of the Qin State and the most prosperous city in the Qin State, compared with the cities of the Six Kingdoms.
Not only compared to the capitals of the Six Kingdoms, but even downgraded to compare with some large cities in the Six Kingdoms, the prosperity is far inferior.
The nobles of the six countries did not want to come here, but the First Emperor wanted them to come here. That was forced relocation.
Forcibly moving the world's richest people to Xianyang is tantamount to making enemies of all the nobles in the world. At first, we fought against the six kingdoms one by one, but now we are at war with the remaining nobles of the six kingdoms at the same time...
Thinking of accidentally starting a war with the world's nobles, even though Meng Yi was born in the Meng family, a military family and had been on the battlefield, he felt a little confused.
"Why is Your Majesty so anxious?"
Wang Wan, an expert in internal affairs, spoke up. He claimed to be ill just a moment ago, but the old man who took a rest today said sincerely: "The four seas are united, and the waves are still beating. I, the Qin Dynasty, should rest and recuperate at this time, and wait for the time to move."
Li Si, the newly promoted Prime Minister of the Left, said with a straight face: "The matter of Chi Dao cannot be delayed. How can the world be peaceful if we don't cultivate it?"
Just when Wang Wan glared at Li Si and was about to call Li Si a sycophantic traitor, Li Si changed his subject.
"It will take five or even ten years to repair the Chi Road. The completion of the process will cost a lot of money. It does not require a lot of money every year, every month, and every day. I request the order to repair the palace within three to five days.
The labor force in the imperial mausoleum is to rebuild the Chi Road. They are all criminals, and they can only provide two meals a day. The Chi Road project will be started first, and the recruitment of nobles from all over the world can be put on hold for the time being. The court hall will be repaired in one or two years.
When the road becomes a little difficult, we can start migrating again."
What he said was reasonable and well-founded, and he suppressed his words first and blocked the curse words that came to Wang Wan's mouth.
The First Emperor nodded, indicating that he understood, and turned to Meng Yi.
When Meng Yi was young, he and his brother Meng Tian went to Xianyang Palace to play with the First Emperor, so they were less afraid of the First Emperor than others.
He said bluntly: "Your Majesty is too hasty and insists on doing it, and you may be in danger of destroying the country."
The First Emperor asked: "Where did the danger begin?"
Meng Yi replied: "There are millions of prisoners in the world. The number of these prisoners together can exceed the number of our Qin army. If Your Majesty forcibly moves the nobles from all over the world to Xianyang, it will arouse the resentment of the nobles. Once the nobles incite
, the ignorant people blindly follow it, and then arouse the criminals in the world, it will be a more difficult battle than the attack on the Six Kingdoms."
After the young Meng Yi finished speaking, the First Emperor turned his attention to the last minister who had not spoken, Zhi Su Neishi Fu Zikang.
Fu Zikang came from a humble background, and was the son of an ordinary family in Xianyang City. Not to mention Meng Yi, who was born in the Meng family, and Wang Wan, who was from the old Qin Dynasty. He was not even as good as Li Si, who had studied at Jixia Academy.
He was able to hold the post of governor of the state of Qin and hold the position of Jiuqing, not only because of Ying Chengyu's recommendation, but also because of his arithmetic ability and overall planning ability that were beyond ordinary people.
During his tenure as governor of Su Neishi, the money and grain of the court were managed in an orderly manner, and there was never a single mistake.
It is said that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.
Fu Zikang, the governor of Su Nei Shi, is just like Wang Wan, the right prime minister, who has never done anything earth-shattering.
But it is already extraordinary that the Qin treasury did not make any major mistakes during his tenure.
The tall and thin Zhisu Neishi said nervously: "I feel that the Prime Minister on the right and the Prime Minister on the left, Meng Nei Shi has said it very comprehensively, and I have nothing more to say."
The First Emperor listened to Wang Wan's remonstrances with urgency, listened to Li Si's detours and held off, and listened to Meng Yi's blunt words about destroying the country, but he remained expressionless.
Hearing that Fu Zikang, the internal history officer of Zhisu, said that he had nothing to say, he couldn't hold himself back. He laughed and cursed: "Sneaky! You are one of the nine ministers, how can you take advantage of others to be lazy and silent? No matter what the crime is in today's private discussion, there is nothing wrong with it.
Feel free to express your thoughts, I won’t hold you accountable.”
Fu Zikang cried, his face thinning, and said: "Your Majesty, I only know how to manage accounts. I really have nothing to say."
Seeing that Fu Zikang's face didn't look fake, the First Emperor waved his hand.
"That's all. Since you don't want to say anything, I won't force you."
This was the first time that the First Emperor called Fu Zikang to come to the political hall to discuss politics, because the matter involved money and food, which was the job of Zhi Su Neishi, the finance minister of the Qin State.
For the first time, Fu Zikang left a very bad impression on the First Emperor.
Fu Zikang could see that the First Emperor was a little unhappy, but he had nothing to do and said with a bitter face: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
I really don't understand. The young master only said that I can use the accounting methods he taught me, but he didn't teach me any important national affairs.
"The four of you all think that the Qin Dynasty has just unified the six countries at this moment, and it is full of wastes waiting to be revitalized, so it is not suitable for another great event. But I just believe that the Great Qin has just unified the six countries, and it is time to take advantage of this trend to create another great event!"
The First Emperor stared at the four people and said in a deep voice: "Zuo Zhuan says: Fighting requires courage. One burst of strength will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted. Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. The six kingdoms are afraid of Qin. This is what the remnants of the six kingdoms are most afraid of.
During the time of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty was in ruins and was waiting for prosperity, so the Six Kingdoms were not in ruins and waiting for the prosperity of the Six Kingdoms? You are waiting for the Qin Dynasty to prosper, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are not waiting for the prosperity of the Six Kingdoms?"
The First Emperor got excited, slapped the table and shouted: "Come here! Get the old map!"
A eunuch trotted out of the political hall to fetch it for the First Emperor.
This map is what the map was called in the Qin Dynasty.
After a while, two eunuchs walked into the political hall, each carrying the front and back parts of a roll of maps made of animal skins.
This political meeting hall was originally the palace where the First Emperor held small court meetings. The furnishings were simple. In addition to several seats and tables in front of the seats, there was also a huge table three meters long and two meters wide.
"Spread it out on the enlarged table."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Wei."
In response to the order of the First Emperor, the two young eunuchs unfolded the map and placed it on the big table. All the major cities in China were marked on this map, as well as all the mountains and rivers. It was very vivid.
And there are also various forces marked on it: Zhao, Qi, Chu, Han, Yan, Wei, Qin, etc.
The First Emperor took the four men to look at the map and pointed at an area marked with the word "Changping" between Qin and Zhao.
"During the reign of King Zhaoxiang, Lord Wu An sent out a surprise force of 25,000 troops here to cut off the Zhao army's retreat. He also sent out a surprise army of 5,000 cavalry to cut off the Zhao army's infantry and cavalry. The Zhao army was divided into two.
, the grain road was cut off. Wu Anjun deceived and killed them all, and sent 240 of the younger ones back to Zhao. He beheaded 450,000 people and captured 450,000 people. The world was shaken, making it difficult for Zhao to find high-level talents.
Someone taller than a wheel."
The First Emperor's finger followed "Changping" and drew a line along the road on the map until he reached "Handan" which was less than two inches from "Changping" on the map.
"Looking at it, if King Zhaoxiang had not made a mistake in his judgment at that time, Lord Wu'an could have marched straight in and captured the State of Zhao in one fell swoop. The State of Qin would have been able to seize the land of Zhao in thirty years. The land of Zhao is very close to where the Hu people live.
, there are many horse farms, Qin's cavalry army can be at least doubled. If it is true at that time, as I said, Qin may be able to dominate the world during the time of the former king, saving twenty years. The military affairs are very similar to today's affairs! If today's
I am afraid of the head and the tail. Back then, when Zhao was not destroyed, and it was only one step away from being destroyed, Zhao came out with Li Mu, who could not even make half a step forward of Qin. If the rich and powerful in the world are not moved today, how many more will be produced in these six kingdoms?
Li Mu!"
Meng Yi frowned, shook his head and said in disagreement: "Yi once heard from my father that the situation at that time was not what your Majesty expected. Lord Wu An killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers and surrendered, causing panic in the world. The covenant of alliance between the six countries has been sent away by someone.
By the time we reach Xianyang, Zhao has lost 450,000 strong soldiers, and they are already lambs waiting to be slaughtered. There is no possibility of becoming bigger. It is better to transfer Lord Wu An back to Qin to avoid being surrounded by the six countries."
The First Emperor hugged Meng Yi and laughed.
"You are a cub. When you were young, you followed Meng Tian and I, following our actions. You are older and more calm. You deeply believe what Meng Gong and Uncle Wu said, and you still don't think anything of your own. Wang Wan, you
Come and tell him whether what Duke Meng said is correct!"
The elderly Wang Wan looked at the First Emperor talking and laughing, and felt as if he had gone back to more than ten years ago.
At that time, the First Emperor was still called Mr. Zheng. Although he was not welcomed by anyone in the Xianyang Palace, he was completely overshadowed by the brilliance of Mr. Cheng, who had been magical since he was a child.
But the First Emperor was never discouraged, he was open-minded and never bowed his head.
This scene, combined with the deep gratitude that Wang Wan had received from the emperor this morning, and now wanted to die for the First Emperor, made Wang Wan, who had a stable mind, go crazy as a teenager.
At the beginning, Prince Cheng, who was favored by everyone in the Qin Kingdom, was defeated by Prince Zheng. Now, how can the surviving remnants of the Six Kingdoms stand up to me, the First Emperor of Qin?
"Except for the Marquis of Wucheng, no one can compare to Duke Meng in terms of debates in the Great Qin Dynasty."
Wang Wan did not directly say whether what Meng Ao said was right, but praised Meng Ao's achievements in the field of war.
Meng Yi was very pleased when he heard someone praise his great father.
But soon, Meng Yi was no longer useful.
"Before the Battle of Changping, the six countries had no intention of uniting. As soon as the Battle of Changping was over, the alliance of the six countries came to the table of the late King Zhaoxiang. Is it ridiculous? Absurd! This is what Fan Ju said In order to consolidate the royal power! Lord Wu An was raised by Wei Ran, the half-brother of Empress Dowager Xuan, who was a relative of the Chu family. At that time in the Qin State, Empress Dowager Xuan, Wei Ran and others had great power in the government. If Wu An The king's victory over Zhao was as great as heaven's. King Zhaoxiang was afraid that his relatives from the Chu family would take advantage of the Tian family to replace Qi, so he forced Bai Qi to retreat. Qin's failure to destroy Zhao had nothing to do with military affairs or the unification of the six kingdoms, but to safeguard the royal power. also!"
Ying Zheng hugged Meng Yi, smiled and pointed at the old man Wang Wan and said: "You have been the right minister for many years. What you said in court yesterday was only for personal gain, and what you just said was full of fear. My heart aches. I miss you deeply. I was so brave to sacrifice others at the beginning, but when I see him in the end, I feel relieved."
Wang Wan fell to his knees and put his hands on the ground. His already red and swollen eyes shed tears again and said: "Wan Wan is wrong! Wan Wan is wrong!"
"Get up! Wrong is wrong! Who in this world dares to say that there is nothing wrong? How many of my mistakes are there?"
Ying Zheng forcibly pulled Wang Wan up, looked at this veteran who had been with him for more than ten years, and said sincerely: "I wrote the "Book of Remonstrance to Chase Guests" which was wrong. Fortunately, Li Si wrote the "Book of Remonstrance to Chase Guests", which allows me to pursue it. Return to your lords."
Li Si heard this and immediately said: "This is not my fault. I wrote the "Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion of Guests" under His Majesty's instructions."
Ying Zheng kicked Li Si on the butt and scolded with a smile: "I want you to take credit for me? I was wrong when I was wrong! Don't interrupt!"
Li Si was kicked hard by the First Emperor. He felt that this was a sign of the First Emperor's closeness to him, and he said happily: "Wei."
Ying Zheng continued to talk to Wang Wan: "It was a mistake for me to ask Li Xin to lead the army. It would cost the lives of 200,000 soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. So I went to Wucheng in person to ask Wang Jian to come back and attack Chu to rule the world. This is a mistake in the world, as long as it does not cost lives. , there will be opportunities for repentance and correction. You followed me when I entered Qin. If you really feel guilty about me. After I give you a fiefdom, don’t be lazy and slack off. Just govern well and don’t be compared to others. Go down."
Wang Wan, who was in tears, was about to kneel down and kowtow again. The First Emperor firmly held the hand of the veteran minister who had served as his bodyguard and stopped Wang Wan's movement.
Wang Wan burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty treats me very kindly, and I will repay you with my life!"
The First Emperor helped Wang Wan back to his seat, and then continued: "Meng Yi, what do you think now?"
Meng Yi looked at the map for a long time and was speechless for a long time. Finally, he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty said that the late King Zhaoxiang made a mistake at the beginning. I am confused. Is it wrong to consolidate the king's power?"
The First Emperor laughed loudly, and his laughter echoed in the political hall for a long time.
"As an emperor, how can you be afraid that your ministers will become bigger? How can you be afraid that you will not be rewarded for your merits? The bigger your ministers do, the greater their ability. The more merit they do, the more they contribute to the development of Qin. I am only afraid If you don't become big, I'm afraid that your merits will not be enough! As long as people don't do anything rebellious, what I say in the court can be announced to the world. If the heroes can't escape unscathed, how can Ying Zheng stand in the world!"
Meng Yi lowered his head. When the second son of the Meng family who had been on the battlefield looked up again, his face had a look of iron blood.
"Your Majesty's decision, Meng Yi abides by it. Meng Yi can not only practice internal history, but also wear armor as a general."
"Cai! I just said that there have been generations of generals in the Meng family, but you are an exception. You are a scholar. It turns out that you are a fake scholar wearing a general's armor, hahaha! Li Si, do you still object?"
Li Si rubbed his buttocks that had just been kicked by the First Emperor, and said helplessly: "May I ask your Majesty, if I object, can I still leave as Prime Minister Zuo today?"
Li Si saw that the First Emperor was in a good mood, so he also made a joke. This was his ability to observe words and emotions.
When the First Emperor heard this, he was not angry but happy.
He just doesn't want those red tapes in Japan, and what Li Si said is exactly what he wants.
"If you are stubborn and can't explain why, then go back to your Tingwei Mansion and become a Tingwei!"
Li Si shook his head and said, "I'd better not say anything. I've only been in the position of prime minister for a day, but I haven't sat down enough yet."
"Say it quickly! Stop joking!"
The First Emperor said "No more joking", but his face was full of satisfaction and he looked very happy.
Li Si stood up respectfully, bowed his hands and bowed his head, very respectfully, and said with a straight face: "What your Majesty said is certainly true, but it still cannot dispel the worries in my heart. I would like to ask, if the nobles of the six countries really raise the flag of rebellion, what will happen to them?"
Call on the people to liberate the prisoners and attack Qin. What good plan does your Majesty have?"
Seeing Li Si's meticulous etiquette and serious expression, the First Emperor also suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice: "There is no good strategy, just fight."
Today, Wang Wan seems to have returned to his prime, becoming the political prince Sheren who was not afraid even when the Qin Kingdom was at its peak.
The Right Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty wiped away the tears on his face, and followed the First Emperor in a deep voice: "Old Qin people, you will be happy when you hear about the war!"
Li Si glanced at Wang Wan in surprise. He did not expect that Wang Wan, who had always been calm and reserved, would be so bloody today. As a Chu native, he could not understand this.
He could only sigh in his heart, and just as he was about to continue speaking, another clear voice suddenly sounded.
"The remnants of the Six Kingdoms dare to fight the best. If you destroy him once, you can destroy him twice! The Meng family has been coveting the title of Chehou for four generations. If Yi Yi can win the title of Chehou, my eldest father told me that he will never scold me again.
Birdman too!"
Li Si looked numbly at Meng Yi, who had opposed the First Emperor's strategy just now, but was now eager to fight.
He didn't understand how they could all change their minds in such a short period of time, as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Si lost his memory just now. Didn't he hear a part of His Majesty's words?
What Your Majesty said is indeed reasonable, but how can this truth make you so agitated?
Your Majesty's words have not solved the worries of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms rebelling, so why are you so excited...
Li Si didn't know that this was the core idea for Qin to become a country of iron and blood.
Don't be afraid, fight if you want.
When the battle begins, go all out and have no worries.
If you can't fight to victory, then fight to death.
This is one of the reasons why Qin is able to win every battle and all six countries are defeated.
"Li Si, what do you mean, you have a good idea? Tell me quickly!"
Li Si, a native of Chu who was not affected by the atmosphere of Qin's frenzied war, coughed twice and said: "My policy cannot be said to be a good policy. It is just a plan that His Majesty thought of summoning the rich and powerful from the world to Xianyang to imitate others."
The First Emperor's eyes lit up, and he didn't understand that this was Li Si's self-effacing words. He hurriedly said: "If you continue to show off, you will become your court captain again!"
"Since Your Majesty wants to summon the world's richest people to Xianyang to make money, why not summon more." Li Si's eyes flashed with sternness, and he said slowly: "Collect the world's copper and iron in Xianyang, and cast twelve golden men to control the world! There are rebels, among them
Can someone with no copper or iron weapon and a wooden stick break Qin's armor?"
As soon as these words came out, the First Emperor's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Cai! This is a great plan! Li Si, you can keep your position as prime minister!"
At this time, Zhisu Neishi Fu Zikang, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke weakly.
He didn't want to speak at first, but he felt that everyone was discussing it in full swing. If he didn't participate, maybe if he got out of this door, his position as the governor of Sumaishi would be gone.
So he stood up, bowed his hands and bowed his head, and said respectfully and timidly: "Your Majesty, the money that Lord Chang'an just sent to the Su Nei Shifu should be enough to build Chidao..."
