Chapter 600 The third way (please give me a monthly ticket!)

"Either move the Six Kingdoms to Xianyang, or move Xianyang to Linzi. I didn't expect the prince to say this."

Meng Yi couldn't help but chew on these few words. To be honest, he thought the prince's two sentences were too interesting.

Meng Yi has recorded these words in his mind, and plans to say these two words when he goes to court in the future, which will shock everyone!

Meng Tian and Meng Yi left Fusu's Yashe and returned to their own residences. However, they could not help but wander around on the ground, unable to sit down and discuss matters.

Meng Tian was worried.

"I don't know what the prince is thinking. Since the prince openly admits that he did it, how can we not report it."

Meng Yi was surprised, "If this is reported to the king, I'm afraid the king won't think anything of it, but those ministers will probably criticize me."

"That's true, but that's all we can do now."

Meng Tian was confused as to what the prince wanted to do. If he really had the intention to rebel, he could have handled the matter in a low-key manner, but he chose to do so in such a high-profile manner.

Fan Kuai looked confused, "Why can't I understand what big brother is saying?"

In the eyes of his brothers and subordinates, Liu Ji was still an ordinary person from beginning to end, but he was very lucky and could become a general in the future.

"What's wrong? Is this wine watered down?" Fan Kuai stared at the restaurant with wide eyes.

As he spoke, Liu Ji began to shed tears.

While preparing gifts for his parents, Liu Ji paid for each of his brothers to drink at two wine shops in Pei County for a whole year.

"To be honest, this official is not a big one. He guards the palace gate for the prince." Liu Ji smiled, "But who is the prince? The future King of Qin. Then when the prince becomes King of Qin, I will guard the gate for the prince from now on. "

Liu Ji couldn't help but sigh, "No, the wine is very good. This is the best wine in Peixian County."

After the three heard this, they began to offer water to Liu Ji instead of wine to Liu Ji on the couch.

At night, in the thatched cottage of Lu Wan's family, the four good brothers slept on the same couch together.

Shaoping bowed and said, "May I ask the prince, what is that?"

Liu Ji didn't dislike it at all and drank it all in one gulp.

In front of him is an endless lake. This lake is not frozen. On the contrary, some migratory birds rise and fall on the edge of the lake from time to time, looking for food in the water.

After returning to his hometown, Liu Ji still felt that the brothers from the past were good, and all of them had clear eyes; this was completely different from the many new 'brothers' in Xianyang Palace who had cloudy eyes.

People drank during the day, slaughtered cattle and sheep, feasted, beat gongs and drums, and it was very lively.

What Fusu wants to follow is the mass line.
-
Spring is here and the ice is thawing.

Liu Ji huddled in bed, "Qin Guoting Lieutenant Li Si said that the rats in the warehouse live a happier life than the rats in the toilet. This is indeed true."

"Conform to people's hearts and adapt to the situation."

"I heard that if God wants to give you something, you can get it even if you lie down; and if you want to pursue something that God doesn't intend to give you, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain. However, I choose the third path. "

In Peixian County, local residents lined the streets to welcome Liu Ji's return.

Vigorous vitality is sprouting under the ruins of the Six Kingdoms.

Liu Ji frowned upon hearing this and kept telling everyone about the actual situation in the palace.

At this moment, Fusu was wearing white dark clothes and a crane cloak made of white feathers.

It's just that Liu Ji has lost the halo of mysterious ghosts and gods. Once the characteristics of the destiny legend are not consistent with it, Liu Ji's mentality is not inflated at present, and he does not have the self-confidence to give up to others.

Moreover, this matter is not something that a general of his status should consider.

"How dare you do this?" Restaurant Wang Nie argued loudly.

The sun's rays penetrated the mist at the turn of spring and winter and fell on Liu Ji's handsome face. He sipped his wine, feeling deeply disappointed in his heart.

"I thought you would never come back." Lu Wan patted Liu Ji on the shoulder, "It's been more than half a year since I left. It was too sudden at the time. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to recover."

The three people surrounded Liu Ji and congratulated him one after another.

Before the empire was established, Fusu had already foreseen its decline under Ying Zheng, and as the successor of the empire, Fusu would naturally not allow this to happen.

"Being a general." Liu Ji lengthened his tone, looking at his brothers' clear eyes with admiration for him.

People from all over Peixian County came to greet him and kept sending gifts to Liu Ji, and Liu Ji accepted them one by one. He believes that this is what the villagers want for him.

The villagers in Peixian County asked Liu Ji, "Is the palace of the Qin State a bed made of gold? Is the King of Qin using a golden hoe?"

Zhou Bo banged his bowl on the table, "It's not that the wine has changed, it's that the people have changed. We can't go back to the past."

"I heard that you became the prince's guard. What a big official that is."

"What's this?"

Liu Ji looked at Zhou Bo and smiled strangely, "After drinking Xianyang's Fengjiu, it's really strong."

Liu Ji came back this time. Firstly, he missed his family, and secondly, he wanted to tell his brothers, "If I become a general in the future, I will definitely appoint a few of you as pioneers. I hope you will not trigger Qin Fa in the future and stay here well." wait for me."

Fan Kuai, who had always been quiet, suddenly asked, "Shouguomen, what kind of official is that?"

Zhou Bo sighed with emotion, "Brother, you have become rich. I saw you came back today. At first glance, I thought you were a high-ranking official from the court. The Feng Shui in Xianyang is good, and it supports people."

"The prince intends to build a new world, but it seems that the time is not ripe right now."

Liu Ji looked at his former brothers, who were all wearing jackets and surrounded by gray faces. "Once upon a time, when Ji had a sip of wine like this, he felt it was so sweet that it was hard to find a bowl of it; now when he drinks it again, he feels it is extremely difficult to drink."

The three brothers thanked Liu Ji because he did not dislike them after becoming a high official and treated them as brothers; not because Liu Ji made such a promise to them.

Because Liu Ji had been telling them since he was a child, saying that he would treat them well in the future.

A few people were in high spirits when Fan Kuai suddenly asked Liu Ji a question.

"When you become the general, that's when the prince succeeds to the throne. When will the prince succeed? Why did I hear that the current King of Qin wants to build himself an unparalleled mausoleum. More than 200,000 people were mobilized to participate."

Liu Ji also sighed when he heard it.

Last time I read the history of Qin and saw the length of reign of King Zhaoxiang, the most accomplished monarch of Qin, it almost made Liu Ji angry.

If the life of the current King of Qin is as long as that of King Zhaoxiang, then Liu Ji will be old by then.

Don't forget, Liu Ji is only three years younger than Ying Zheng.

Seeing Liu Ji's face droop, Fan Kuai couldn't help but ask, "Then if you have bad luck, won't you have to be a guard for the rest of your life?"

Zhou Bo glared at Fan Kuai and winked, "That's better than staying in Pei County and being a petty official."

Lu Wan clasped his hands in his fists. He saw Liu Ji lost in thought and frowned.

"I see that Prince Hengyang loves you very much. He asked you to lead the troops back to Peixian County. The scene is so majestic. The prince is deeply loved by the king. There will definitely be an opportunity to go to war again in the future, and the prince will give the opportunity to you. "

Liu Ji listened but still didn't speak.

He was thinking about the problem, why did the prince treat him so well? No one in this world would treat him well for no reason. There are just endless conflicts of interest and trade-offs.

Once upon a time, Liu Ji arrived in Xianyang City for the first time and immediately discovered the clues in Xianyang Palace. The prince was a bird without full wings, while the king was in the sky.

What Liu Ji said to Xiao He at that time still rings in his ears.

Nothing could be hidden from Liu Ji's eyes. He knew very well what role he played in Prince Qin's life.

"Don't mention this. I work on someone else's salary, so I can't consider this kind of thing."

As soon as Liu Ji said this, everyone's eyes shone with surprise.

"Brother, you are starting to speak more politely now."

"Nonsense! I have always been a very elegant person." Liu Ji showed his true colors in an instant, "Who doesn't know that I, Liu Ji, am good at music and poetry?"

A few people were drinking. This happy day passed too fast, and soon Liu Ji would have to leave.

During this period, Liu Ji took advantage of the fact that his fellow villagers, brothers and friends were all drunk, so he asked them a few questions.

"Does King Qin have a high prestige in today's world?"

The villagers replied: "Of course it's high. Don't they say it's unprecedented and unprecedented."

Liu Ji asked again, "Does the prince have high prestige in today's world?"

"No one among the people knows it, no one knows it."

"Who is better today, the king or the prince?" "Of course it is the prince."

Liu Ji was very happy after hearing this. He felt that he still had a chance to become a general before getting old.

But he remained tight-lipped about it afterwards and refused to mention the drunken remarks made by the villagers today.

As for the soldiers under his command, they are all Liu Ji's hands, feet, ears and ears.
-
Winter is gradually gone, and the footsteps of spring have begun.

There were cracking sounds from time to time under the huge ice sheet, from morning to night.

A great empire is about to be born, and every Qin person in the Qin official system can feel this atmosphere.

Great changes are about to begin.

There are already some very smart people who know how to grasp the trend of the times. People who were originally in the army are already applying for job transfers.

Of course, there are only a few smart people, and most soldiers are still immersed in old dreams.

The difference between people almost always lies in their judgment of the future.

A few people with very keen political sense have a premonition that they will be unemployed in the future, and have already begun to actively change jobs.

Two former wartime scouts, they immediately applied for transfer after the Chu Kingdom War ended and joined the team that escorted documents.

During the first month of the year, when heavy snow was falling on the Qilu land, two scouts from the former battlefield were following the Qin State's stagecoach thousands of miles to escort official documents.

They rode strong horses, braved the wind and frost, galloped across the Central Plains, crossed mountains and went through canyons, carefully led the horses across the frozen river, and walked all the way to Xianyang City.

Before Qijun's submission documents were delivered, spring snow fell in Xianyang City.

The spring snow is dripping, scattered on the shoulders of passers-by.

The streets of Xianyang City were still as lively as ever, but the spring snow and cold air restrained the pedestrians on the streets, and everyone's voices became softer.

The steam of hot rice and the smell of wine wafted around on the street. Pedestrians were walking on the spacious road bathed in light snow. Soldiers who were clearing the road with heavy snow were shivering in the cold.

In Xianyang Palace, a cauldron was burning in the palace, and the room was warm.

At the beginning of this era when the world is unified and everything in the world is renewed, everyone is very happy.

The old years have ended, and the founders of the new era have awakened and come to Zhangtai Palace with joy, waiting to share the great fruits.

Have you ever remembered that the only principle for team meetings is to have a big meeting for small things and a small meeting for big things.

Today, Ying Zheng and his few key ministers are discussing matters in Zhangtai Palace.

The fewer people, the bigger the problem.

Those who came were Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, Feng Quji, Li Si, Nei Shiteng, Meng Wu, and Guo Wei Liao, who Ying Zheng reluctantly called.

"Today has been decided, how should we, the Qin State, govern the world next?"

Ying Zheng sat in the upper seat. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. In the past, he had been so excited that he could not sleep at night, but when this core summit was held, Ying Zheng's mood was extremely complicated.

He was going to do something that had never been done before.

For such an important meeting, Ying Zheng must have discussed it with Wang Wan beforehand.

After all, Wang Wan is the leader of his team.

Before today's meeting, Wang Wan also worked hard and thought about it for almost half a year.

When thinking about the future world system, Wang Wan considered many factors. The results of Wang Wan's painstaking efforts for half a year have been proven by history to be very correct.

It should be noted that such high-end meetings are often more stylized than court meetings, and the process is extremely rigid. Everything depends on preparation in advance and then following a formal process.

The leaders must first put forward their own opinions, let each other weigh and think carefully, and finally come up with certain results together.

After Ying Zheng raised the question, Prime Minister Wang Wan took the lead in speaking according to the rules.

"At the beginning, King Wu of Zhou pacified the world, and King Cheng of Zhou divided the world among meritorious ministers and relatives of the king. The land was divided and the kingdom was divided, and the Zhou dynasty lasted for eight hundred years."

"Now that the king has unified the world, Taiyuan County, Sanchuan County, Yingchuan County, and Nanyang County will be the boundaries. From there, everything to the west will be designated as the king's territory."

In other words, Wang Wan gave Ying Zheng four-sevenths of the world. The old Qin State was completely under the control of Ying Zheng.

"As for the remaining territory, because it is far away, it is difficult for government orders to reach it. The nobles of the six countries have just been pacified, and they are resentful and are bound to wait for the opportunity. I kindly ask the king to establish princes and kings to fill it."

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Wan and felt sad.

'The Prime Minister is no longer someone who can understand me. '

Compared with Wang Wan's incomprehension of Ying Zheng, what makes Ying Zheng feel more sad and stressed is that Wei Zhuang, Feng Quji, and Zheng Guo all agreed with this method.

Ever since the Qin State led its troops to attack the Chu State, there have been constant troops going back and forth to their mansion to inquire about these things.

Soldiers go to the front lines of the battlefield, and as managers of remote areas, they are deeply aware of the invariance of management brought about by geographical distance.

The difficulties in Qin's current administrative system allowed them to see opportunities.

Enfeoffment is inevitable!
In the past two years, there has been a popular saying in Xianyang City of the State of Qin, "What has been done will be done again. What has been done will be done again."

The so-called things that have already happened and things that have been done refer to the entrustment of the world by the Emperor of Zhou.

This news also reached Ying Zheng's ears.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he naturally endured it.

Let me ask, 'What has been done will be done again, and what has been done will be done again. 'Can these four sentences be good news if they fall into Ying Zheng's ears?

When Ying Zheng heard these four sentences, what came to his mind was the picture of his ancestors and the country he had worked so hard to build, and the picture of being divided again; and the picture of the descendants of the Qin royal family being collectively persecuted by the vassal states. .

Therefore, when Ying Zheng saw everyone agreeing with Wang Wan's opinion, he showed a very satisfied smile.

It's just that that smile didn't look very friendly to Li Si.

Wang Wan firmly believed that in order for Qin to maintain the world for a long time, the power of Qin must be absolutely far greater than the sum of the feudal vassal states.

Therefore, when Wang Wan divided the territory, he almost handed over the lives of the vassal states to Ying Zheng. As long as anyone dares to act recklessly, Ying Zheng can definitely destroy that country with one hand.

The ministers also had their own thoughts on Wang Wan's obvious preference for Ying Zheng.

They all believed that Wang Wan said this deliberately in order to obtain the largest fiefdom.

For example, Yao Jia, who was not able to attend such a high-level meeting, knew the news in advance. At this time, he was complaining at home, "He is the prime minister and has the greatest credit, so he wants to pursue the largest fiefdom. Now Jin Yan is an excellent Chance."

In fact, Wang Wan's painstaking efforts were neither recognized by the ministers nor deeply disgusted by Ying Zheng.

In order to win Zheng and the world, Wang Wan could only sacrifice the interests of his followers.

Otherwise, all these years of hard work will be in vain, and the people of the world will not be able to live a stable life at all.

However, neither party showed their dislike for Wang Wan, and their reactions caused Wang Wan to make a wrong judgment on the situation.

After other ministers agreed with Wang Wan, Li Si and Meng Wu, who had not expressed their stance before, also agreed.

In this way, all the officials agreed with Wang Wan's opinion.

Because they saw the division of interests made by Wang Wan, Ying Zheng was the one who got the biggest cake.

They all know the king they love and follow. They must know that the queen bee of Qin is deeply supported by the subjects of Qin, and they are willing to contribute continuously to him.

Gradually, Queen Bee Yingzheng's domineering, authoritarian, willful, and selfish nature was also understood by his close ministers.

Everyone unanimously chose Wang Wan's plan to satisfy Ying Zheng's power needs.

The juxtaposition of counties and enfeoffments was almost the best choice for the Qin Empire at this time.

The ministers voted unanimously.

This meeting naturally ended quickly.

Ying Zheng smiled and said to the ministers, "It seems that the world in the future will probably be like what the Prime Minister said."

Several people praised Wang Wan, "The Prime Minister is worried about the people of the world and has worked so hard to achieve this. If he mentions this kind deed, all the people in the world will remember the Prime Minister in the future."

Wang Wan said calmly, "I entered the court just for this day."

Most people just smiled.

Wei Liao looked at Ying Zheng worriedly. He felt that Ying Zheng was too calm today.

Why are you so crazy on a day like today?
