Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 407 The shackles are being put on step by step! (Please subscribe)

"Nomu is here."

Fan Mu is the censor of Dang County.

The imperial court ordered him to lead relevant officials to strictly investigate the theft incident in Julu.

If it were just like this, Wei Jiu and others would not be so panicked, and would still set up an ambush to kill Fan Mu as they did in the past.

Even if Fan Mu is Fan Ju's grandson.

What Wei Jiu and others did not expect was that the Qin court seemed to be very serious about this this time, not only sending local censors but also personnel from the court.

Meng Yi is here too!

at the same time.

There are one thousand Qin soldiers who followed Meng Yi. In addition, there are three thousand Qin soldiers waiting near Hangu Pass. If there is a situation in Guandong, these soldiers will rush to Guandong immediately to suppress Wei who may cause unrest. land.

Under the decree issued by the First Emperor.

He made a clear request that from now on, the imperial court will take unwavering, unyielding, and uncompromising tasks as its main tasks this year. If local governments dare to violate the rules, the imperial court will definitely attack with thunder to completely eradicate all unstable factors that cause turmoil.

The purpose of sending people this time is to implement this matter.

Fan Mu, Wei Jiu and other nobles of Wei did not take it seriously.

Fan Ju fled the country, and his family was in decline. If the First Emperor had not remembered his contribution to the Qin Dynasty in the past, Fan Mu would not have been able to serve as the local censor. Moreover, Fan Mu was transferred from Hanzhong and had no influence on Dang County. I didn’t know much about the situation, and there weren’t many helpers.

Killing Fan Mu was not a difficult task in the eyes of Wei Jiu and others.

However, Meng Yi is different.

He is Meng Tian's younger brother and Fusu's friend for many years.

This trip brought thousands of soldiers with them, obviously they were deliberately on guard.

Killing Fan Mu and framing Zhang Er is enough. If Meng Yi is killed and Zhang Er is still framed, this is obviously not enough. At least Zhang Er's weight is not enough in the hearts of Qin people. Qin Ting In anger, I am afraid that something big will happen to the entire Wei region.

When.

Not only would they not be able to gain any benefit, they would probably run away like a lost dog, not daring to stay in Wei for any longer.

For a while.

Wei Jiu, Li Shiqi, and Shen Tujia all hesitated.

They just wanted to disrupt the situation in Wei so that they could profit from the chaos. They did not want to be the target of public criticism and divert Qin Ting's attention from Jiangdong in the past to them.

They are still self-aware.

They had already had a difficult time in Wei in the past. If they attract Qin Ting's attention again, they may really have to hide in Tibet in the future.

Is this what they want to see?

Inside the wine house.

Several people sat in a group, their faces full of sorrow.

Zhang Liang also came.

He held a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand and was reading them word by word with great fascination. He did not pay attention to the arguments between Wei Jiu and others and seemed not to care at all.

Zhang Liang murmured: "Fan Mu summoned Dang County officials to conduct a strict investigation on this robbery incident."

"This was expected."

"And this is obviously not Qin Ting's real purpose."

"Qin Ting's purpose lies behind."

"Send Meng Yi here."

"And this is only part of it. In addition, soldiers are dispatched to suppress the battle. However, this is not all. The more important thing is actually the follow-up policy, so that all the salt and iron matters in various counties and counties are handed over to relevant officials. If they go on business in the future, The imperial court will directly question these officials."

"It's an order to cut."

"The originally monolithic local officials were cut into two directly by using salt and iron."

Zhang Liang's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes were very solemn.

he knows.

Ji Heng was afraid that it was finally over.

He had already thought of countermeasures.

Whether it was the 'robbery' he proposed or the subsequent 'murder' that made things worse, they were all part of Ji Heng's plan. He had been prepared to deal with it from the beginning, so when Qin Ting heard about the changes in Julu's birth, At that time, the government order could be issued so quickly, and Meng Yi directly led the relevant officials to come.

It was all planned.

Zhang Liang also saw some clues from the decrees issued by the Qin court.

Qin Ting is indeed 'profit-oriented'.

No thought was given to overhauling the place.

He just wanted to completely return economic power to the imperial court.

No outside interference is allowed.

Not to mention that there is no place for anyone to use their hands and indulge in ink at will.

So after the Julu incident, Qin Ting took the initiative to give the local counties a move.

That is to order the local government to carry out cutting, push the issue of salt and iron directly to the relevant officials, and ask these relevant officials to resist, so that both parties can gain dignity.

It’s just that Zhang Liang is a little confused.

Did Qin Ting really think that local officials would listen?

And how can local officials be willing to let the fat fly from their mouths?

Salt and iron are not a small profit.

With the land already under the control of various forces, Yantie is now a rare source of money for the local government. How can the local government let go of such a huge benefit so easily? Moreover, if one city is cut today and ten cities are cut tomorrow, how can one not understand this principle?

Today Qin Ting was able to let them cut out officials related to salt and iron.

What about the future?

Will they continue to be ordered to cut?

If things go on like this, won't they really become mermaids?

How could all the local forces agree? Da Qin didn't really fully control Guandong, how could they wait for the killing?

Zhang Liang looked confused.

But based on his guess, Qin Ting is afraid that there will be a follow-up.

It just hasn’t been announced yet.

Everything will have to wait until Kanto is ‘stabilized’.

At this time.

Wei Jiu and others couldn't come up with the argument, so they looked at Zhang Liang, hoping that Zhang Liang would give him an idea.

Zhang Liang recovered his mind.

He smiled and said calmly: "What you are worried about is nothing more than harming yourself. Qin Ting is powerful and we are small. If Qin Ting targets us, we may have difficulty escaping, or even slaying stones with eggs. You don't want to follow him so early." Qin Tingtu is in trouble."

"But things still have to be done."

“Some things, once you’ve decided to do them, you can’t look back.”

"And you may not have thought that everything we are doing now is actually within Qin Ting's expectations. If we really feel timid because of this and do not dare to cause more trouble, this matter may really end like this. , In that case, not only will something happen to Shanfu County and the related counties participating this time, but also other waiting and watching counties will not dare to sway anymore, and this will really fall into Qin Ting’s plan. "

"It's just that according to what you said, if we kill Fan Mu now, we are also falling into Qin Ting's plan." Wei Jiu said.

Zhang Liang shook his head.

He said in a deep voice: "It is indeed calculated for Qin Ting."

"But the effect is different."

"If Qin Ting just issued two decrees and frightened us, the local forces would be even more timid and afraid to have any vacillation. If we knew that there are tigers in the mountains and went to the Tiger Mountains, That means something different.”

"First come, tell the other nobles that our anti-Qin ambitions are still alive."

"Secondly, it will force Qin Ting to expose more measures, which will also allow local forces to see Qin Ting's true face more clearly."

"but."

"After killing Nomu, we must evacuate immediately."

"From now on, Wei will fall into turmoil. If we continue to be here, it may affect ourselves."

"As for local officials, powerful people, and scholars, they may be in doom."

"Qin Ting will not let them go."

"They will die too!"

"This also tells other counties and counties that if they make Qin Ting dissatisfied in the future, Qin Ting will treat them in the same way. It also tells them that there is no turning back. Since it has gone against Qin Ting's great policy, they must always consider that one day the Dongchuang Incident will happen. , fell to the fate of Shanfu County."

"Is there really no chance of turning things around?" Wei Bao looked unwilling.

They had made a lot of efforts for this matter, but they were unwilling to end it hastily.

And they didn't achieve what they wanted.

Wei Di has been silent for too long.

Zhang Liang shook his head, looked at Wei Bao, and sneered: "You guys think things are too simple."

"What happened this time was Qin Ting's attempt to gather power from beginning to end. It was also an obvious calculation. Qin Ting told you so blatantly that he wanted to take back the power of controlling salt and iron in Kanto."

"However, under the shock of the lingering power of the First Emperor's patrol, and the concept of 'no slacking off, no tossing' that Qin Ting suddenly promoted, it was easy for the Kwantung forces to waver."

"And if Qin Ting shows a little strength, it will easily scare the world."

"This is momentum!"    "Qin Ting has been planning this matter for a long time."

"There may be a lot of trouble, but the overall situation will not change."

"The only thing we can do is to expose Qin Ting's 'ugly' face to the world as much as possible, so that the world can see Qin Ting's insidiousness and cunning. The more Qin Ting pays attention to this matter, the more it will be revealed. More details, from these details, it will be easier for local forces to understand that Qin Ting has been plotting against them."

"Although we may not benefit much from it, it will be of great benefit to the entire world."

"That's not necessarily a bad thing."

"The more determined I am, the more ruthless I will be."

"The Qin court will become more and more wary. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, it will take more actions and counterattacks. This will undoubtedly put shackles on local officials."

"Once the shackles on the local government are heavy."

"It's easy to cause dissatisfaction."

"When."

"The opportunity I've been waiting for has come."

Zhang Liang's eyes were deep and distant.

The moment he heard that Meng Yi was coming, Zhang Liang had no intention of continuing his scheme.

No matter how you plot, you can't do it.

Ji Heng has been plotting secretly for a long time, how can he deal with it at the drop of a hat?

The more they do, the more dangerous they will be to Wei Jiu and others, and the weaker the rebel forces in Wei will be.

However, the original plan has to be completed.

This is for Ji Heng.

The purpose was to make Ji Heng think that he was still being plotted by him and still couldn't find a corresponding countermeasure, so that Ji Heng could relax his guard.

But in fact.

He was not prepared to fight again.

He was not prepared to be led by Ji Heng's nose anymore.

He's going to jump out.

Make your own layout, enter the game yourself, and break the game!

Ji Heng maintained stability, while he promoted chaos.

He would no longer pay attention to all the political orders issued by the Qin court.

It's all bits and pieces.

The real opportunity is to riot, to rise up, not to cause trouble in the local area.

No matter how big the trouble is in the local area, it will be easily resolved by Qin Ting. Without the determination to fight Qin Ting to the end, and the fighting spirit to fight Qin Ting, it will only be eaten away step by step by Qin Ting.

He wanted to imitate Su Qin.

Let’s do the same thing as before.

Unite the former nobles of the six countries, secretly accumulate strength, win over all parties, and when the time is right, directly ascend to the top and rise up, completely disrupting Qin Ting's idea of ​​slowly encroaching, directly dragging the world into the flames of war, and making All people in the world make their own choices.

This is also their only way out.

Listening to Zhang Liang's words, Wei Jiu and others showed hesitation.

This is generosity to others.

However, this is the end of the matter.

Otherwise, they had spent so much effort and planning for so long, only to give up halfway. After all, they were a little unwilling. But after escaping, they might not know when they would return, and they didn't know how much details they would eventually be able to find out about Qin Ting.

a long time.

Wei Jiu said in a deep voice: "Since Brother Zhang strongly recommends it, then do as Brother Zhang said."

"It's really hard for us to profit from it."

"But local officials will also be hit hard."

"Only when they really see blood will they understand that following me is the best choice."

"Shi Qin is a dead end!"

Li Shiqi hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

He said: "That's all it can do. It's a pity that Meng Yi has a large army to protect him. Otherwise, killing Meng Yi will only have a better effect and a heavier blow to Qin Ting. But Qin Ting obviously expected it and didn't do it at all. Give me too many chances to wait.”

"But Normu must die!"

Li Shiqi's eyes were very cold.

This is a demonstration and a way to wave the flag to other nobles.

The blood of his nobles in Wei is not yet cold.

In the past few years, the nobles of the six countries have suffered heavy losses, especially the Jiangdong Chu land, which suffered heavy losses.

Nowadays, most of the nobles are dormant and their morale is low.

If Fan Mu can be killed, to a large extent, it can boost the morale of the nobles of the six countries and rekindle the anti-Qin sentiment in the world.

This has to be done no matter what.

At this time.

Wei Bao suddenly asked: "What should Zhang Er do now?"

Some time ago, they deceived Zhang Er by sending a message, and now they even tied him up.

But now the situation cannot keep up.

How to deal with Zhang Er is a bit tricky.

Wei Jiu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Since it is useless, then kill him."

"What happened this time was done in the name of our nobles. A person like him cannot make any more noise."

Wei Jiu didn't worry about Zhang Er's life or death at all.

He was born in the surname of King Wei.

Naturally, he looked down upon Zhang Er, a down-and-out nobleman.

Zhang Liang's eyes moved slightly but he didn't speak. Zhang Er was of no value.

Even dead is more useful than alive.

after all

Zhang Er is a noble.

It was he who sent word to Peng Yue that caused this incident.

Now that things are getting out of hand, I have to take responsibility for this.

What's more, if no nobles died, Qin Ting would not let it go easily, nor would it arouse the common hatred of the nobles.

So it would be better for Zhang Er to die.

A few words from a few people decided Zhang Er's life or death.

A few people discussed the matter of setting up an ambush and left in a hurry.

Out of the wine house.

Zhang Liang took the initiative to find Wei Jiu.

He told Wei Jiu his thoughts.

After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Wei Jiu's pupils shrank and his expression changed.

"Zhang Liang, are you a little too impulsive? Qin Ting has not reached that point yet. If one person does not handle it properly, we may all die." Wei Jiu said with an uneasy look on his face.

Zhang Liang said coldly: "Master Wei, can't you see that things have happened now?"

"Qin Ting is constantly encroaching on the world."

"I don't have much chance left."

"If we didn't take advantage of Qin Ting's complete control of the place and fight desperately, it would be difficult to reverse the situation in the world. We would have been unable to retreat. Originally, I thought that Qin Ting did not have such deep calculations. But from what happened this time, we can see that Qin Ting’s calculations are deeper and more comprehensive than ours.”

"We can only take risks."

"This time, I am also here to say goodbye to you."

"I intend to go to the other places to convince other nobles to join forces."

"Totally disrupt the world situation."

"This world needs some changes. As nobles, how can we not stir up the general trend? If we don't dare to come forward, who else in the world will dare to come forward? When Qin Ting completely regained the local government, it also fought with the Xiongnu Baiyue After easing the relationship, will we really have room to fight back?"

“If you don’t disappear in silence, you will explode in silence.”

"I, Zhang Liang, still have a lot of passion."

"I'm willing to risk my life!"

Wei Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly, he stared at Zhang Liang closely, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I can do as you say, but if the nobles from the other five places don't agree, I won't take the risk either." .”

"it is good!"
