After experiencing the chaos of the month of May in the ninth year of the Qin Dynasty, the King of Qin deposed the incompetent clan members, revoked the order of expelling guests, and invited foreign guests to return to their posts. A group of vegetarians led by General Tingwei were stationed on the banks of the Weishui River.
The law condemns and beheads.
The last time the people of the Lao Ai Rebellion were executed by the Wei River, everyone in the Qin State applauded; this time they executed the clan members who had wronged the country, everyone in the Qin State admired the king's method. The resentment of the foreigners was first seen in the Hangu Library,
Later, there were attempts to deal with the clan members, but they also disappeared.
Li Si's "Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion of Guests" advised the King of Qin to abandon the order of expelling guests and promote him to the imperial rank for his merit.
Ying Jue acted righteously and exterminated his relatives, setting an example for the clan to be loyal and brave to the country, and inherited the title of "King of Weiyang" from his father.
Lu Yan built the palace to attract talents, which not only retained most of the talents among foreigners, but also made the King of Qin's sincerity for talents famous among the six countries. Many scholars from the six countries went west to Qin.
The reputation of "Lu Zi was concerned about his country and his people" has spread widely, and the Hangu Library, which was originally built temporarily, has become a world-famous place of interest. Scholars from the Six Kingdoms must visit here to express their feelings when they visit Qin Dynasty.
Lu Yan was added to the post of Taifu without real power. Of course, this does not mean that King Qin's rewards and punishments are unfair, but that Ying Zheng has been crowned, and according to custom, he must marry a wife. At this time, Lu Yan became Taifu, in addition to having
Participating in the power of state affairs can also teach the future prince, which further shows the trust and favor of the King of Qin.
Foreign guests returned to take up their posts one after another, and the state machine of Qin finally returned to normal operation. And these foreign guests were different from the original foreign guests. At that time, they were just a few people who were mixed in the foreign relatives' group, fearing that the King of Qin would liquidate them, and had crossed the Yellow River to escape from Qin. These returning guests
The vast majority of Qin's foreign guests were talented and learned, and after returning to their posts, they quickly cleared up the consequences of the January chaos.
Shangqing Weizhuang recommended a person named Zhang Han. It only took seven days to overturn all the unjust, false and wrongful cases accumulated in Xianyang City within a month. The culprits were all found, and the people's hearts were quickly stabilized. King Qin was very happy and directly promoted Zhang Han to the post.
As a special envoy, he led people to clear away the remains of the counties and counties across the country, and even sent eunuchs around him to obey Zhang Han.
When Shangqing Wang Wan took over the papermaking, he quickly understood the art of papermaking and began to conduct experiments based on the trees and vegetation in the Qin State. He established a new department - the paper workshop. At the same time, he introduced the Qin State's armament assembly line operation and the system of dedicated personnel. Originally, the system of
Because of the first papermaking, the situation where Lu Yan was responsible for many things was completely improved, and production efficiency was significantly improved. Qin's domestic documents began to use paper instead, and the reputation of Qin paper began to spread throughout the world.
It took a little time to rectify, and the Qin court was stabilized, and Ying Zheng also started his first court since the return of foreign guests.
"The king has arrived——"
Ying Zheng wore a crown and a sword. Looking at the group of civil and military ministers and clan members of His Highness, he could not contain his pride.
"Meet the King."
"Your Majesty, please excuse me."
Everyone in your highness can feel that the king is in a good mood today. Now that Qin has successfully passed the power transition stage, the opportunity to make meritorious deeds will come.
"The prime minister is the official weapon of the country. The prime minister of our Qin State has been vacant for some time. Today I want to appoint the two prime ministers on the left and right. The prime minister, Wei Zhuang, will be the prime minister on the right; the prime minister Wang Wan, the prime minister, will be the prime minister on the left."
Wei Zhuang and Wang Wan came out and knelt down, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
When Wang Wan got up, he glanced at Lu Yan. It seemed that he had picked the peaches from the imperial master just because of his ability to make paper. Prime Minister Zuo felt a little guilty~
Ying Zheng was obviously worried that Lu Buwei, the prime minister back then, had too much power, so he separated the two prime ministers, and naturally no one from the officials dared to object.
Xiong Qi is a bit gloomy. Originally, the Prime Minister and the Censor held the power, but now there is another person...
Of course, Yingzheng did not just promote two prime ministers when he opened the dynasty, but prepared to start a war. "In the previous rebellion of Lai Ai, Zhao, Han and Wei had many dirty tricks behind their backs; when it came to expelling guests, many of the six countries had the intention of robbing guests.
Then the King of Zhao is taking advantage of Yan's general situation and wants to buy horses with thousands of gold to steal people from Qin. I want to send troops to investigate this matter."
Meng Wu immediately strode out, "Your Majesty, I invite you to fight. The State of Zhao has occupied thirty cities of Yan. Although it promised to cut one-third of the State of Yan to Qin, if Zhao is really allowed to destroy the State of Yan,
That would be like raising a tiger to create trouble."
Yang Duanhe also stood up, "What General Meng Wu said is true. This time our Qin army has a reputation, and Han and Wei are ashamed of Qin in the matter of Lao Ai. The country is weak and will not dare to intervene. This battle is exactly
This is a good opportunity to weaken the State of Zhao. Your Majesty, I invite you to fight."
The generals and generals asked for battle one after another.
Xiong Qi spoke up and said: "Your Majesty, we must send troops. The three countries of Zhao, Han and Wei secretly support Lao Ai. If we don't investigate, we will lose the spirit of our great Qin."
However, the construction of the big canal has already started, and although the people in the country did not mobilize 200,000 yuan, they still had a full 80,000 yuan. All supplies of food, grass, and equipment in the country were given priority to build the canal.
If you start a war at this moment, you should carefully consider it. You must not fall into a protracted war where the armies are in a stalemate. If you start a war with Zhao, you still need to be cautious."
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, "You generals are brave, few people know it, and what Lord Chang Ping said makes sense. Who are Zhao, Han and Wei to fight?"
The ministers had not yet come up with the result of their deliberations, but someone else came to report: "Your Majesty, Lu Hui, the son of Marquis Wenxin, is dressed in plain clothes and begging to see you."
Ying Zheng stood up with excitement all over, and all the officials were shocked.
Lu Hui, wrapped in plain clothes, knelt down in the palace and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, my father has gone."
"Father Zhong..."
"My father has a legacy letter, and he ordered me to submit it to the king in person."
Ying Zheng walked down in person, with slow steps and twinkling eyes. He took the silk book handed over by Lu Hui, opened it and saw Lu Buwei's familiar handwriting.
"Now that the king has appointed his court, he should plan for the world. He will build a large canal internally to make our Guanzhong fertile wilderness. Together with the Bashu Tianfu, our Qin country will no longer have to worry about food and grass. The six countries are weak externally, especially the three Jins. At this time
, just to cut off its military strength, we must first capture Wei Guoyuan, Pu, and Yan, so that the three Jin Dynasties can no longer unite and lay the foundation for a war to destroy the country.
The war to destroy the country has many implications, so the king must be cautious. Although the six countries are weak, they have been established for hundreds of years. We, Qin, want to unite the world, so we should know ourselves and our enemies. The population, military strength, cultivated land, grain and grass of the six countries, and the state of their domestic affairs are all important.
To find out clearly, it should not be limited to the present, but should be calculated in ten years.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Yan State is barren and weak, and has a feud with Zhao State, so it can be co-opted to deal with Zhao State; Qi State’s business is prosperous, and we, Qin State, can have good relations with it and make good use of merchants to control its economy
, so that they dare not intervene in the war; the culture of Chu State is very different from that of our Central Plains. Most of its territory is owned by the great nobles, and it is the strongest opponent of our Great Qin. The king can take advantage of the contradiction between the royal family and the nobles to weaken his country and weaken it.
Its fighting spirit.
Today's Qin State has many great talents, but the words of the veteran are not worthy of praise. I hope your Majesty will investigate them in detail. Lu Buwei, this is the last word."
After Ying Zheng read it, he couldn't hide his sadness and said tremblingly, "Everyone, please take a look."
The attendant took it and passed it to Lu Yan first, while Ying Zheng walked back to the throne step by step.
Lu Hui was still kneeling on the ground, twitching slightly.
Lu Yan finished reading it quickly and handed the silk book to the attendant. Looking at Ying Zheng with his eyes closed in front of him, he felt sad in his heart.
A king's heart is forged in the process of the death of important people.
The ministers read it quickly and were all amazed. Especially the Shang Qing Yao Jia, who had cooperated with Lu Buwei for many years and had fought against each other for ten years, was in tears.
Ying Zheng opened his eyes and asked the ministers below: "Zhongfu's plan is to teach me to take the three places of Wei Guoyuan, Pu and Yan first at this time. What do you think?"
The ministers all agreed, "Your Majesty, Marquis Wenxin's plan is indeed the best choice at this time."
"Sir, what do you think?"
Lu Yan felt the blazing gazes from the military generals and understood: "The Qin State has taken on a new look at this time. The people are all convinced of the king. The generals and soldiers are eager to perform their duties. I think this battle can be more powerful."
Hearing this, Xiong Qi advised: "Master National Preceptor, if we really fall into a war, it will be detrimental to me."
"I know Lord Changping's worries, but this battle is actually taking place in three places of Wei. However, Zhao and Han cannot let it go. We can send envoys respectively to hold Lao Ai accountable, and at the same time arrange troops at the border.
South Korea's army is weak and the court is in chaos at this time, so it will definitely not dare to accept the challenge and will take the initiative to show its favor to me.
The State of Zhao is attacking the State of Yan at this moment, and I am sending troops to the border of the State of Zhao to prepare for a war. The main force of the State of Zhao will return to the State of Yan for reinforcements. The State of Yan will be saved and the State of Zhao will be restrained from growing bigger."
All the officials agreed upon hearing this, and Ying Zheng also nodded, "Well, sir, this is a very good plan."
Lu Yan added: "However, these people who are sent as envoys have a heavy responsibility, especially those from Zhao State."
"I am willing to go!"
An old voice came, and it was Zhang Tang who took the initiative to ask for help.
Ying Zheng was quite surprised, "Old General?"
Zhang Tang said: "Then King Zhao wants the old minister's head, doesn't he? The old minister's mission this time is to let him see our Qin State's determination to fight Zhao and force the main force of the Zhao army to return."
"Okay! Don't worry, old general Zhuangzhi. If King Zhao dares to hurt you, I will start a war with Zhao even if I stop the canal."
"Old minister will fulfill his mission."
Ying Zheng asked again, "Who wants to go all the way to South Korea?"
Li Si stood up and said, "I have been on a mission to South Korea before, and I have a good understanding of the Korean monarchs and ministers. This time, Li Si asks for help."
"On this trip, Lieutenant Ting, remember to say hello to Han Fei."
"Li Si, please remember."
Now that Zhao and Han have finished selecting their envoys, Wei will inevitably fight, so we can start ordering generals directly.
A group of generals who wanted to fight refused to give in to each other, and they all wanted to be the hero of the first battle since Ying Zheng came to power.
"General Mengwu is an internal historian and is involved in the military and political affairs of Xianyang. Therefore, General Duanhe will be the main general in this battle."
Yang Duanhe was delighted, "Great Qin will be victorious!"
Lu Yan suggested: "Please let Gong Shuqiu accompany you on this expedition to collect data on his domineering machine skills. I have my son Gong Shuyi on the other side of the canal, so I won't delay."
Ying Zheng called out to the clan queue: "Ying Jue, this time you will supervise the army and protect Gong Shuqiu's safety."
Ying Jue looked surprised, "No!"
"The clan and foreigners are my right-hand men. Seeing the surprise on your face, do you think that I won't give my clan a chance to make meritorious deeds?"
After the previous chaotic government, you should know how much you have. I will send you to various places as my deputies first, study hard, and then entrust you with important responsibilities. Don't let me down."
The clan members burst into tears of gratitude, "We will definitely live up to your Majesty's high expectations."
