Qin Gong

Chapter 258 The secret letter arrived in Xianyang, Ying Zheng's order
Xianyang, Qin State.

In Xianyang Palace, civil and military officials are attending the morning court day after day.

Bai Yu was wearing an official uniform and standing in the ranks of generals.

Mao Jiao and Hu Quan were among the civil servants.

While everyone was listening to the discussion, a guard guarding the palace gate hurriedly entered the hall.

This sudden scene caused the three elderly officials who were standing in the hall to report to Ying Zheng to stop their voices and look sideways at the guard.

"Report, Your Majesty, a secret letter from Zuo Shu Chang Baiyan!"

Just when the civil and military officials were puzzled, many people looked at each other at the guard's words.

"Bai Yan?"

"Isn't Bai Yan fighting with each other? Could it be that there is another war?"

"Could it be food and supplies?"

In the main hall, the voice of a civil and military official talking.

Although Bai Yan is the last of the generals, Zuo Shuzhang with the lowest rank among the generals, anyone with a discerning eye knows that now Bai Yan is deeply favored by the king.

Although the position in the king's heart can't be said to be on the same level as that of Mengshi, it is still inferior to the number of officials of Baishi and Mengshi.

"That kid!"

When Bai Yu heard that it was Bai Yan's secret letter, he couldn't help cheering up. Now that Bai Yan is a child of his Bai family, he naturally has to care about it.

I just don't know what news is in the secret letter!
thought here.

From the corner of his eyes, Bai Yu glanced calmly at the Prime Minister at the forefront of civil servants, Mr. Changping!

the other side.

Unlike Hu Quan on the side,

When Mao Jiao heard Bai Yan's secret letter, he thought of the Bai Yan he met back then, but it was different from before, when he thought of Bai Yan, the first thing he thought of was Bai Yu and Hu Quan.

And now.

Hearing the young Bai Yan again, he remembered Bai Yan's appearance.

In his mind, what popped up in his mind was the young man that the villagers in Qi State spoke of, and the old woman in that dilapidated alley.

"Bring it up!"

Accompanied by Ying Zheng's voice in the main hall.

Mao Jiao saw that an eunuch had already arrived in front of the guards, holding the bamboo slips in both hands, and walked towards the main hall.

on the main hall.

Ying Zheng, dressed in black, took the bamboo slip from the eunuch and slowly opened it.

After seeing the content, Ying Zheng looked very serious.

After a while.

Ying Zheng put away the bamboo slips and put them aside, glanced at the civil and military officials of His Royal Highness, and let the ministers just now continue the discussion.

see.

Although the civil and military officials of His Royal Highness were curious, they did not dare to ask.

until after the next dynasty.

Civil and military officials left one after another, and Yao Jia was left alone.

Li Si, Wei Liao, Kui Zhuang and the others were outside the main hall. Seeing this scene, they all looked at each other with some doubts.

After all, if there is news from the front line, the king will definitely ask them to discuss matters.

Why is it that only Yao Jia is allowed to go?

Could it be that Bai Yan's news was not a war?
Along with the doubts of many ministers, Lord Changping in the distance also frowned slightly.

"Prime Minister, today"

At this time, when Bai Yu saw Mr. Changping, he stepped forward with a smile, and bowed his hands to salute Mr. Changping.

Mr. Changping also smiled and raised his hand in return.

Next, Bai Yu and Lord Changping walked towards the outside of the palace as they walked.

Also because of this.

If Li Si, Kui Zhuang and others discussed, Mr. Changping would not have the opportunity to participate.

the other side.

In the study room of the palace, with Yao Jia's arrival, Ying Zheng, who was standing by the window, turned around and handed the bamboo slips to Yao Jia under Yao Jia's gaze.

Seeing this, Yao Jia raised his hands and saluted Ying Zhengji, then took the bamboo slips with both hands, opened them and read them.

"Wonderful!"

After reading the content, Yao Jia looked surprised, and then looked at Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, if General Bai Yan's words are true, this trip will indeed have a chance to alienate Young Master Jia and win over Guo Kai!"

Yao Jia said.

In the letter, Bai Yan briefly wrote down the details of Handan on the bamboo slips, including son Jia's private raising of food, and his disagreement with Guo Kai.

As for the [-] stones of grain and millet proposed by Bai Yan in the bamboo slips, this was easily available for Qin's inventory.

"How does Yao Shangqing plan to join Zhao?"

Ying Zheng asked after hearing Yao Jia's words.

Previously, Yingzheng did not expect that the situation in Handan of Zhao State had reached such a point that the disagreement between Young Master Jia and Guo Kai would definitely exacerbate the disintegration of Zhao State's court.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Your Majesty, General Bai Yan has already stated his plan in the bamboo slips, and it is the best strategy. First, win over Guo Kai, let Zhao Qian remove Li Mu's military power, and then let Guo Kai get rid of Li Mu. Breakable!"

Yao Jia said with a smile and cupped his hands.

On the surface of the bamboo slips, Bai Yan did not express his intentions, but the [-] grains and grains had already revealed Bai Yan's thoughts.

Although I don't know where Zhao Jia got such a large amount of food and grass, but Zhao Jia who has so much food and grass, as long as he keeps more and longer, the chances of alienation will be greater.

It would be best for Zhao Jia to send the food and grass to Daidi and Yanmen.

When the time comes to alienate Guo Kai, it will be sure!
"Broken Zhao."

Ying Zheng murmured softly, turned around and thought for a moment, then looked at Yao Jia.

"Then trouble Yao Shangqing to visit Zhao Guo!"

Ying Zheng said.

Hearing this, Yao Jia raised his hands, and after accepting the order, he put down the bamboo and turned around to leave.

Ying Zheng looked at Yao Jia's leaving back, turned around, and looked out the window.

Inside Bai Yan's bamboo slips.

Ying Zheng also noticed that Bai Yan revealed the news that at this moment in Handan of Zhao State, many forces are helping Young Master Jia, just like in Yingchuan County.

"There are so many people in the world who are against the state of Qin and the widows!"

Ying Zheng murmured full of melancholy.

Qin State had just destroyed a small South Korea, and there were so many forces, not only able to trap Qin's army in Yingchuan, but also to secretly help Zhao State.

thought here.

Ying Zheng could vaguely see in his mind the situation that Qin would face in the future.

"Come here, send the widow's order to summon Mao Jiao to come to the study!"

Ying Zheng turned around and said.

After finishing speaking, as the eunuch's footsteps disappeared after receiving the order to leave, Ying Zheng stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

The road to unification of the world is not destined to be smooth and smooth.

for a long time.

Ying Zheng's gaze gradually became firmer.

"Zhao Weiyan, Chu Qi, the widow must be destroyed! In this world, the widow must be put down!"

Ying Zheng murmured and turned around: "The world should belong to Qin!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Zheng came to the study, which was laid flat on the ground, next to the huge layout.

Looking at the current deployment of Qin's troops above.

Ying Zheng finally made up his mind.

If there is no lesson learned from the past, then it is up to Qin to break through. The world is against Qin, so let's see if those remnants can stop Qin's iron cavalry and shake him to win the government.

An hour later.

When Mao Jiao came to the palace study, Ying Zheng was already in the study, reviewing the bamboo slips.

"Wei Chen pays respects to the king!"

Mao Jiao came to the study, bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and saluted.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng signaled to Mao Jiao that there is no need to be too polite.

Just when Mao Jiao didn't know what Ying Zheng called him, what Ying Zheng said made Mao Jiao stunned.

"Mao Shangqing, I want to know who is the one with the best character in Shangqing's mind among all the young masters?"

Ying Zheng asked.

Ying Zheng's words made Mao Jiao's eyes serious. On the matter of the crown prince, he was very sensitive and rigorous.

Now Yingzheng's heirs are more than a dozen sons of the Qin State, the oldest is Fusu, and the youngest is Hu Hai, who was born just last year.

Think about it.

In the end, Mao Jiao didn't hide anything.

"Back to the king, among the many sons, except for the immature sons, the eldest son Fusu has the best character."

Mao Jiao cupped his hands and said, although the young master Fusu has the blood of the Chu family, there are also forces of the Chu family standing behind him.

But right now Mao Jiao still chooses to tell the truth.

If it was a secret, then he would not have disregarded his life at the beginning, and would still give advice after the death of 27 ministers.

"Fu Su!"

Ying Zheng was not surprised when he heard Mao Jiao's answer.

"Back to the king, although young master Fusu is young, he still behaves in words and deeds."

In the study, Mao Jiao talked to Ying Zheng about the advantages of Fusu.

In fact, this is not a secret thing. I don’t know how many officials have advised Yingzheng several times to establish the empress and the eldest son. The advantages of Fusu have also been said countless times, but Yingzheng has not agreed.

Everyone was rumoring that Yingzheng didn't like Fusu's weak character and admired Confucianism.

"Mao Shangqing is willing to be with Qi Shao as a mentor to Su!"

Ying Zheng looked at Mao Jiao and said.

Ying Zheng's words.

Mao Jiao was completely surprised, then came back to his senses, and hurriedly cupped his hands to greet Ying Zheng.

"It's Mao Jiao's luck to be able to be the son's blessing!"

Mao Jiao cupped his hands and said.

Facing Yingzheng's inquiry at this moment, Mao Jiao did not find an excuse to refuse, although Mao Jiao did not understand that when the son Fusu had a son Fu, he was still asked to be the son's tutor.

"Okay, Ai Qing, let's step back first!"

After seeing Mao Jiao accepting it, Ying Zheng lowered his head and continued to look at the bamboo slips.

Mao Jiao, as a veteran minister of the Qin State, naturally knew that Yingzheng had the habit of reviewing the two stone and bamboo slips every day, so he didn't stay any longer and left with his hands up.

After a while.

In the study room, apart from more than a hundred lights and the eunuchs waiting in the aisle, only Ying Zheng was alone in front of the wooden seat looking at the bamboo slips.

After putting down the bamboo slips.

Ying Zheng looked at the empty study room with no one in it.

The law ruled the world, and it was only when Korea was ruled that it caused so much resistance. In the future, the forces he and Qin will have to face will be the entire world.

There is no lesson learned.

"Fu Su!"

Thinking of his eldest son who advocated Confucianism, although Ying Zheng had no expression on his face, there was a trace of kindness in his eyes.

Ying Zheng dared to show such an expression only when there was no one around.

In the eyes of outsiders, he has always disliked the eldest son, but only he himself knows that the eldest son, Fusu, is the last chance he left for Qin.

Whether it is on the road to destroying the Six Kingdoms, or one day after the Six Kingdoms are eliminated, the world is destined to be unscrupulous, it is doomed to be full of dangers, and it is doomed to have many things to do.

If ruling the world according to the law fails, then the people of the world will only target him and scold him for winning the government, and Fusu, who advocates Confucianism, will be respected by the world, and Qin will still have a chance.

Mengshi, who is close to the Chu family, is a force on the surface.

And secretly, Bai Yan, who was originally the son of a commoner in the Qi state and is now the eldest son of Zuo Shu, is the reliance he left for his eldest son Fusu.

　I really like what a historical figure said, no matter it is recorded in Shiji or other sources, Fusu was sent to supervise the army, to supervise Meng Tian, ​​not to be imprisoned.

　　Whether it is the history of Zhao State or the situation at that time, the son and military power are the most sensitive matters, but Ying Zheng asked Fusu to go up to monitor Meng Tian. Meng Tian, ​​​​who has never been monitored, needs to be monitored?
　　The boss asked me to think about it from another angle. I feel that many things can be explained. After so many assassinations, the murderer was not caught. It is impossible for Ying Zheng not to feel the situation in the world.
