When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 325 Qin Wangzheng Twelve Years
During the nine years of Qin Wangzheng, the state of Qin was fine and the world was at peace.

During the ten years of Qin Wangzheng, the Qin State was fine and the world was safe.

During the eleven years of Qin Wangzheng, there was nothing wrong with Qin and the world was safe.

In the twelfth year of Qin Wangzheng, the construction of the Chidao system in Qin State was completed, and the construction of the straight road from Xianyang north to the Hetao area was completed.

In this year, after the Battle of Hangu Pass in the seventh year of Qin Wangzheng, the soldiers of Chu, Wei, and Yan who were captured by Qin State, after several years of old labor, according to the contract signed by the kings of the four countries in Xinzheng , hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war will be released this year.

In May of the twelfth year of Qin Wangzheng, with the complete completion of the road system of Qin State and the approach of releasing prisoners of war, envoys from Chu, Wei, and Yan came to Xianyang almost at the same time, and discussed with Qin State about the prisoners of war. Final negotiation.

As envoys, the state of Chu sent the prince negative, the envoy of the state of Wei was Sikong Wei Yong, and the envoy of the state of Yan was the crown prince Yandan.

Although these three people came from three countries, as envoys, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all inextricably linked with Ying Zheng.

Prince Chu Chu, son of King Kaolie of Chu, younger brother of Lord Changping Xiong Qi, wife of King Qin Mi Chan, and elder brother of the reigning King of Chu Xiong You, Ying Zheng's brother-in-law.

Sikong Wei Yong of the State of Wei, as Wei Xianxian's father, although Wei Xianxian does not have a strong sense of presence in the Qin Palace, he still has a title after all, so Wei Yong can still say a word or two in the State of Qin.

As for Yan Dan, let alone, although he has no sisters or elders or juniors in the Qin Palace, he himself was one of the few friends of Ying Zheng when he was young, so he naturally has another relationship.

Therefore, in Xianyang, these three people met miraculously because of Ying Zheng.

In Xianyang Palace, Prime Minister Lu Buwei on the left, Prime Minister Xun Kuang on the right, Xiong Qi the imperial censor, Wang Jian the Wei Wei, Zhang Tang the lieutenant, Wang Wan the internal historian of Zhisu, Yao Jia the Dianke, Zhao Gao the eunuch, and the temporarily in charge of the court lieutenant All Han Fei from the government gathered here.

It can be said that at present, the ministers with the most right to speak in the court of Qin State are all here.

"In the seventh year, the king signed a peace treaty with the kings of Chu, Wei, and Yan. For a period of five years, we, Qin, will use the labor of the prisoners of war of the three countries. During this period, the money and food consumed by the prisoners of the three countries will be determined by The Three Kingdoms paid half, and the Qin Kingdom paid half, now the time has come, and the envoys of the Three Kingdoms have arrived in Xianyang, we should release these hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war." Zhi Su Nei Shi Wang Wan said.

"Your Majesty, we can release the prisoners of war from Yan and Chu, but we cannot release the [-] prisoners from Wei. These [-] prisoners are different from Yan and Chu. The prisoners of war are all soldiers of Wei Wu, and they are also the elite of Wei Wu, if such a strong army is released to Wei State, it will definitely be a big obstacle for our Qin State to destroy Wei in the future." Wang Wangang will After speaking, Yao Jia, who is in charge of diplomatic affairs, objected.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to Yao Dianke's blunt words. Thirty-six thousand Wei military prisoners of war are certainly a force that should not be underestimated, but they are nothing compared to the reputation of Your Majesty. Prisoners of war will damage the reputation of the king." Xiong Qi, who is a royal doctor, said.

"Your Majesty, compared with the prisoners of war of Wei Wuzu, your reputation is more important. What the Yushi doctor said is right. Your Majesty will be the master of the world in the future. You can't damage your reputation just because there are [-] prisoners of war in this area. In that way, it seems to be beneficial to our country, Qin, but in the long run, the harm cannot be compensated by the immediate interests." Lieutenant Zhang Tang said, his attitude obviously supported Xiong Qi's opinion.

"Wei Wei, what's your opinion?" Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne, heard the opinions of everyone, but did not make a statement, but looked at Wang Jian, the general who had become the number one in the army.

"Your Majesty, according to my opinion, of course, let those Wei soldiers go back. You must know that those people are real military exploits for those of us in the army. If your soldiers can defeat them once, they will be able to defeat them." They did it twice, three times." Wang Jian said without hesitation.

Here, Wang Jian knows very well that he only needs to play the role of a soldier well. As for other things, he doesn't need to express his position at all for the long-term and immediate interests. If his position conflicts with Ying Zheng's, , wouldn't that be asking for trouble.

"Wei Wei's words are cunning." Ying Zheng smiled, obviously satisfied with Wang Jian's performance.

"Thirty-six thousand prisoners of war from the Wei military army, as long as they are sent to the battle armor, they will become a strong army in an instant. This is true, but reputation is something that cannot be lost." Ying Zheng said.

"Especially now that the general situation of the world is about to change, the power of reputation will gradually become more important. It is related to the future and Qin's reputation among the people of the world." Ying Zheng continued.

In Yingzheng's heart, of course, he is inclined to release those [-] Wei soldiers. After all, Wei will not become stronger because of these [-] Wei soldiers, nor will Qin. These [-] Wei soldiers could not destroy the Wei state.

Moreover, in the past five years, while Qin State used these people to build Chidao, it was also a process of assimilating them, a process of making them adapt to the rule of Qin State.

During this process, Yingzheng and Qin State put in a lot of energy. There was absolutely no need to backtrack at the last moment and make the efforts of the past five years come to naught.

You must know that these [-] Wei military prisoners of war are really middle-aged people, and there are families behind them. The rule of Qin is a decisive factor for whether Qin can digest Wei in the shortest time.

"So, let's release all the Wei Wuzu prisoners of war according to the peace treaty signed that year." Ying Zheng said.

"My lord, these prisoners of war have paid a lot for the construction of Chidao in the past five years. Although they are all prisoners of war, we cannot ignore their hard work." Lu Buwei said.

"What does Prime Minister Zuo mean?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty, these hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war have been serving hard labor in the Qin State for five years. Presumably their family life will not be too well-off because of the lack of them. At the time of the state, reward him, so as to show the majesty and the state of Qin." Lu Buwei said.

As Lu Buwei's words fell, all the important officials in the palace looked at Lu Buwei.

The second child is not dead because he is a thief, this is really incisive.

　May is over, and [-] words have been barely updated in [-] days. Although it is not a lot, I really tried my best.

　　It's just that I've been a little stuck recently, and the writing is not satisfactory. Fortunately, I have cleared up my thoughts recently, and I can start again.

　　It's about to enter June, keep going.
