In the back hall of the Yangxin Hall, agarwood is burning and smoke is swirling. Emperor Qin is sitting cross-legged on a futon, looking as if he is a fairy.
A young eunuch walked lightly from the front hall to the back hall, stood in front of Emperor Qin, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Chief Ting Wei has something important to see you."
Emperor Qin's face remained as before, and he replied in a low voice: "Pass."
The little eunuch left quietly, and then a thin figure stepped into the back hall, bowed and said: "I, your Majesty, Sir Ming, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Emperor Qin replied in a tone without any emotion: "What's the matter?"
Da Siming straightened his body, lowered his head slightly, and spoke clearly: "There has been a change in Guandong. Seven days ago, the traitor Lin Ze used the traitor Liu Ji to kill more than 2,000 soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty as an excuse to lead his troops to the traitor Liu Ji's lair Pei.
The county said it wanted justice."
"The traitor Liu Ji was not strong enough to fight against Lin Ze. In desperation, he had to invite Confucian sages to mediate. Lin Ze, with the help of the Taoist palace, used this to force Liu Ji to sign an alliance under the city, cede territory and pay compensation, and seize it without any effort.
To the land of Yan and Zhao."
The terms "Land of Guandong" and "Linze" inevitably touched Emperor Qin.
A cold look appeared on Emperor Qin's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me what happened in detail."
"No," Da Siming responded and briefly explained the causes and consequences of Liu Ji and Lin Ze's signing of the alliance under the city.
After hearing this, Emperor Qin asked with a strange look on his face: "From a certain perspective, Liu Ji's face also represents the face of Confucianism. When Liu Ji was so humiliated, the Confucianists would choose to swallow their anger and settle the matter?"
Da Siming was not surprised at all, and replied with a serious face: "Liu Ji was born in a humble background. When he was young, he was a knight-errant who did not do his job properly. Fortunately, he was favored by Confucianism and got to where he is today."
"According to the information from my spies, the Confucian scholars did not have a good impression of Liu Ji, and would often scorn him. As a result, Liu Ji was humiliated, and it is normal for the Confucians not to stand up for him."
Emperor Qin shook his head slightly and said: "Is this Liu Ji really so unbearable? I don't think so. Confucianism from Confucius down to the realm of heaven and man, there are quite a few. From their point of view, if Liu Ji is useless,
How could they like him and help him conquer the world?"
"Unless the Confucianists don't want luck, please tell me carefully, Commander-in-Chief, how did Liu Ji defeat the Liao Mansion army with 300,000 soldiers?"
Da Siming bowed his hand and replied: "In the battle of Chen County, Liu Ji relied on 300,000 elite troops from the Liao Mansion to defeat Baili Ce and Sima Jie in one fell swoop. He won a complete victory. From then on, he became complacent and laid the foundation for his disaster.
"
"After the victory at Chen County, Liu Ji believed that he was invincible and decisively divided his 300,000 troops into four groups to capture the lands of Yan, Zhao, Qi, Lu, Wei and Han respectively. He focused solely on grabbing territory and striving for world hegemony."
"Unexpectedly, Lin Ze had been prepared and led an army of 100,000 people to attack Jinyang from the Western Regions. He defeated Liu Ji's army of 50,000 people outside Jinyang City. From then on, he was out of control and fought all the way from Jinyang to Handan until
When the soldiers came to Pei County, Liu Ji almost didn't even react."
"If the Confucians hadn't been involved, let alone the two parties signing a covenant, Liu Ji might not have been able to save his life."
"In this matter, the Taoist palace was superior to others. They plotted against the Confucians intentionally and unintentionally. While they won a great victory, they also took the initiative to give it to the people. The Confucianists could only knock out their teeth and swallow their blood."
"If the Confucianists don't bow their heads, if the Taoist palace is forced to let Lin Ze destroy Liu Ji, the losses to the Confucianists will only be greater. In comparison, although the alliance under the city sounds unpleasant, it will not cause much loss to the Confucianists."
Emperor Qin Gujing Wubo asked: "So, now the land of Guandong is divided into two, and it has all fallen into the hands of Taoism and Confucianism?"
Da Siming thought for a while and directly explained the contents of the covenant signed by Lin Ze and Liu Ji.
With the river as the boundary, they do not interfere with each other.
After hearing this, Emperor Qin was silent for a few breaths and continued to ask: "How is the war in the south?"
Da Siming immediately bowed and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for gaining a top general."
"Oh~, what should I say?"
Qin Huang Gujing Wubo's expression showed a slight change.
Da Siming said with a smile on his face: "Li Xin followed His Majesty's order to march south. He first attacked steadily and built a defense line in the Nanhu area of Shu, which effectively curbed the South Vietnamese's tendency to penetrate northward."
"Then, Li Xin led the army and fought three battles with the traitor Zhao Tuo. The results were two wins and one draw, which completely delayed Zhao Tuo's march north."
"Compared to mediocre people like Sima Jie of Baili Ce, Li Xin, who is on par with Zhao Tuo and even defeated him in battle, can be called a famous general."
Emperor Qin nodded slightly: "You have performed well and should be rewarded. According to my decree, Li Xin can be made Marquis of Huaili Township."
"In addition, send someone to tell Li Xin that as long as he can keep blocking Zhao Tuo, I will reward him greatly."
Da Siming bowed slightly and responded: "No."
"May I ask Your Majesty, how should we deal with the traitors in Guandong?"
Seeing that Emperor Qin seemed to have forgotten that Guandong was divided between Liu Ji and Lin Ze, Da Siming couldn't help but remind him.
Emperor Qin's originally gentle expression became tense again. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Now is the critical moment for me to practice martial arts. I don't have the energy to take care of the Taoist and Confucian families. I will remember this matter for now and don't worry about him. Later.
In the future, I will achieve great success in martial arts. I will make these rebellious people pay a heavy price."
Da Siming just nodded when he heard this and said nothing more.
But he heard Emperor Qin change his subject: "This matter cannot be dismissed easily. The secret guards in the Guandong region are ordered to use all means to stir up a dispute between the Taoist and Confucian families, Lin Ze and Liu Ji."
"When necessary, assassination can be carried out without exposing the identity."
"I don't believe that a single covenant can bind the Taoist and Confucian families, and I even less believe that the Taoist and Confucian families can be intimate."
When Da Siming heard this, he was slightly absent-minded. From the first day he met Emperor Qin to now, it was the first time in more than 150 years that he heard concessions and compromises from his mouth.
Although Emperor Qin did not say it explicitly, the Taoist and Confucian families were so powerful that they could not confront each other head-on for the time being. It was so obvious that they had to use some small means to deal with them.
Fortunately, Da Siming had a firm mind and was only distracted for a short moment. He returned to normal in an instant and bowed in response: "I sincerely obey His Majesty's imperial edict."
I heard Emperor Qin from the palace say something more: "Order Meng Tian to lead a hundred thousand new troops and garrison Hangu Pass, and set off immediately."
Da Siming's mind was shaken again. He glanced at Emperor Qin out of the corner of his eye and saw his gloomy face. He quickly put an end to the doubts in his mind and said, "I'll do it now."
After Da Siming left, Emperor Qin looked vaguely into the distance, seeming to see the Taoist palace and Confucianists cheering.
At the end, Emperor Qin said in a cold tone: "I will never give away my kingdom to others easily."
After saying this, Emperor Qin closed his eyes again and fell into cultivation.
If Lin Ze and Zhuang Zhou were here and used Zhan Zhan Qi Technique to take a look, they would find that Emperor Qin was swallowing up the purple luck with a terrifying momentum.
