Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 39 Xiong Qi! (for collection)
"Although there are three households in Chu, Chu must die in the Qin Dynasty." Hu Hai glanced at the wall and said in a low voice, "Isn't this impossible?"

"The eldest son and the Chu lineage have always been very close. Didn't you say that the eldest son will be in power? If the eldest son is in power, what reason does the Chu lineage have to mess with Qin?"

Fusu's face darkened slightly.

He remembered the scolding that Shi Huang had given him before.

It is because I am very close to the nobles of the Chu family, especially the Mi and Xiong families in Chu.

It is not without reason that he is close to the Chu family.

His mother came from the Mi family, but not from the line of Mi Bazi, but from the line of Empress Dowager Huayang.

Naturally, he would be relatively biased towards the Chu family.

Ji Heng said indifferently: "There are no permanent friends in this world, only eternal interests."

Hu Hai frowned.

Ji Heng continued: "After the state of Chu was destroyed, the prestige of the Mi family and the Xiong family in Chu was greatly reduced, and even if Chu was not destroyed, these two families would not be able to hold back other nobles in Chu."

"The situation in Chu is different from that of the other six countries. The old nobles there are basically from the public clan."

"It's just that there is a difference between closeness and distance."

"After Wu Qi's reform, the state of Chu prospered and flourished, and the state reached its peak. It basically wiped out the old aristocrats who hindered the exercise of royal power in the past. power, and after the fall of the old nobles, these offshoots of the clan gradually began to dominate the court.”

"By the time King Huai of Chu came to power, the three upstarts, Qu, Jing, and Zhao, had already taken control of the government."

"So Chu State began to seek reform again."

"That is Qu Yuan's reform."

"It's just that as the reform advances, it is inevitable to encounter resistance from the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families, and the reform fails in the end."

"Qu Yuan was expelled from the court, and after the fall of Yingdu, he sank in the Miluo River."

"Throughout the hundreds of years of the Chu Kingdom, the King of Chu and the nobles basically share the world. Even with the reforms of Wu Qi and Qu Yuan, it is difficult to shake the deep-rooted and flourishing aristocratic system. Hundreds of years of private associations and cliques, the foundation has already been extremely deep."

"They're after autonomy!"

"After Qin destroyed Chu, it did kill more than half of the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans, but it didn't solve the actual problem."

"It's just like Wu Qi's reform, changing the soup but not the medicine, just changing a group of leading nobles."

"If Chu's aristocratic system is not uprooted, Chu will never succumb to Qin. The harder Qin suppresses Chu, the easier it will be for the nobles of Chu to unite. How big will the united Chu be? power, which no one knows."

Hu Hai's complexion changed slightly.

Vertical integration is the king of Chu, and horizontal integration is the emperor of Qin.

This is Su Qin's judgment on the situation in the world.

This is true.

Back then, when Qin destroyed Chu, it could be described as overwhelming power.

It took ten years for Qin to sweep the world, but it took four years to destroy Chu.

During this period, there was also a big defeat.

Had it not been for the great courage and courage of the First Emperor, who conscripted 60 troops and insisted on fighting this war of annihilation, the world would have continued to fall into disintegration after the state of Chu recovered.

The foundation of Chu State is not unsound.

at this point.

Hu Hai also deeply agrees.

Hu Hai cursed: "After Chu was destroyed, all these nobles should be killed."

"Otherwise, there are so many things."

Hearing Hu Hai's cursing, Ji Heng shook his head secretly.

Back then it was impossible to make a big killing.

The reason why Qin was able to destroy Chu with all his strength was mainly because he persuaded Qi to not send troops to help Chu. If Qin killed the nobles in Chu, what would the nobles of Qi think?

Back then, Qi daily supported 20 troops.

When Qin destroyed Qi, he directly gathered 40 troops.

Once Qi State intervenes, and the nobles of Chu State scramble to make trouble again, Qin State simply cannot bear it.

What's more, there is Yan Guo watching from the sidelines.

When Qin destroyed Chu, Zhao, Wei, and Han rebelled continuously, requiring a lot of troops to suppress them, and Yan and Qin didn't deal with it at all, and kept harassing all around. Although Qin was powerful, it couldn't draw so many troops, which is why Initially, Ying Zhenghui agreed with Li Xin's proposal.

The impact of the battle between Qin and Chu was also very far-reaching.

Qin Sheng, the world is determined.

Qin Bai will fall short.

Not only could Zhao, Wei, and Han fail to defend, but they would also be robbed by Qi Yan.

It's just that in this final game of the world, Ying Zheng has the last laugh with his own courage and courage.

However, in order to seize the rare window period of the world, Qin annexed the six countries in a whale way. The time to sweep the world was too short, and it was inevitable that he also took over the shortcomings of the six countries. These are what Qin needs to solve in the future.

Regarding the long-standing disadvantages of the Six Kingdoms, Shi Huang chose to ignore them.

Directly push the new system.

The six places in the Kanto region were already dissatisfied with Qin, so they couldn't give in easily.

And Qin also wanted to completely wipe out the cultural traditions of the six countries, which aroused strong opposition from the nobles of the six countries.

Even now the people resent the people.

Fusu's face darkened slightly.

In the past, he had made good friends with the Chu family, but in fact, he also had thoughts.

Just to appease Chu Di.

But after hearing what Ji Heng said, he suddenly thought of Changping Lord Xiong Qi.

At that time, Xiong Qi was ranked as the Prime Minister of the Great Qin, and his power was not insignificant, but at the very moment when the Great Qin destroyed Chu, Xiong Qi chose to rebel, and fought with Xiang Yan internally and externally, defeated the army led by Li Xin, and then caused Great Qin to suffer heavy losses.

He used to be very incomprehensible.

Qin's unification of the world is clearly the general trend.

Although Xiong Qi is the prince of Chu, he has been serving Qin for many years. If he really waits until the Great Qin rule the world, Xiong Qi will be rewarded, and he will be no worse than Wang Wan, Li Si and others. Why would Xiong Qi choose to rebel?Especially at that time, Shi Huang had great trust in Xiong Qi.

Now he vaguely understood.

There is a difference between inside and outside.

No matter how much strife within Chu State, it is the internal affairs of Chu State after all.

It is precisely because Xiong Qi has served Qin for many years, he knows what the first emperor will do after the country is destroyed, so in order to preserve the inheritance of Chu, Xiong Qi chose to betray.

Xiong Qi is like this.

The same goes for other nobles in Chu.

Even other nobles didn't have so many ideas.

They care about their own interests.

Fusu raised his head and sighed quietly, "There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. This is a true portrayal of the world in the past."

"Qin's annihilation of Chu has moved the interests of the nobles of the Chu region, and attracted the same hatred of the nobles of the Chu region."

"The three clans of Qu, Jing and Zhao are extinct."

"However, other nobles in Chu, such as the Xiang family and the Song family, still exist."

"They will continue to oppose Qin."

"Because if Qin really implements the policy of great unification, it will definitely burn the past glory of the nobility."

"That's unacceptable to them."

"Nobles of Chu"

Fusu took a deep breath, his gaze became cold.

He has now corrected his attitude towards the nobles of the six countries.

If the nobles of the six countries still refuse to integrate into the Great Qin and continue to clamor for restoration, he will never continue to show his compatibility, but will wipe out these ugly people with a thunderbolt!

Ji Heng took a sip of wine and said lightly: "Chu has always been a relatively loose country. After hundreds of years of development, the autonomy of the major nobles in the region has long become the norm in Chu. They can accept having a king on their heads, but It is unacceptable that the king on the head is too strong, especially if it is so strong that it threatens their power in the fief."

"This is the biggest contradiction between Qin and Chu."
