Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 512 It is not allowed to use the surname of the Six Kingdoms as a surname (please give me a monthly recommendation vote!)
Li Zuoche (Ju) didn't take it seriously after hearing this.

"I don't want to live such a mediocre life if I am obsessed with wealth and gentleness. I can't get it easily."

"That young master is just torturing himself. With the current situation, there is not much hope of reviving the Zhao Kingdom. If the young master really wants to be remembered in history and make immortal contributions, I think he will have to find another master."

Li Zuoche's eyes darkened after hearing this.

Li Zuoche stood up and pushed open the window, looking at the bustling crowd of knights below. They were all strange-looking, holding long swords, and each one looked fierce.The apricot blossoms in the yard are blooming, pink and white, and the steam of the soup rises under the trees, and occasionally a wisp of wine fragrance floats.

The bright sunshine and warm spring breeze cannot satisfy the young and energetic Li Zuoche.

"The reason why some people stay is because they have no choice but to retreat. Do you think they want to repay Zhao Xie's kindness in the past? In fact, the people of Qin cannot tolerate these people at all."

"The State of Qin has always respected the techniques of Legalism, saying: 'Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalrous people violate the law with force.' The State of Qin has always hated these rangers, does not allow their existence, and constantly launches troops to attack them. But these rangers By being familiar with the terrain, we can often escape.”

"But no matter how the emperor changes, there is always a wanted order for me hanging in front of the gate of Handan City. What's more, the person who committed major crimes in Wei Capital is also under Zhao Xie's family. We are all forced by the situation, and only Join forces with Zhao Xie to resist the Qin State, otherwise without Zhao Xie as our great backer, we will directly face the threat of the Qin people."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid you will be the only one in the world who dares to call me Young Master."

"Actually, I understand what you mean, but look at the notice in front of the city gate. I am still on Qin's death list to this day."

"And if this idea of ​​mine is spread, I will definitely be resisted by the old forces of Zhao State. Furthermore, even if I intend to abandon the secret and turn to the light, who can help me introduce it. I am a guilty person. Handan County Shou longs to drink my blood and eat my flesh. If he has a chance to catch me, he will definitely take my head to claim credit from Qin II, so how can he build a bridge and pave the way for me."

Li Zuoche's dilemma is also the dilemma of many heroes.They admired Qin II for what he did, and the tax reduction alone made people all over the world praise Qin II, let alone other things.

Qin II lived deep in the palace and could only get the reaction of the people around him to the reform from the people closest to him. However, counselors like Li Zuoche and Zhang Er, because of the blow from the late emperor Yingzheng, made them peaceful. The common people are very close to each other.

These common people suffered from the heavy corvee and taxes of Qin Shihuang, and the second emperor began to give sweets as soon as he succeeded to the throne, which made these common people very happy.

So Li Zuoche knew that as soon as Qin II succeeded to the throne, Qin had already won.

Enfeoffment, tax cuts, the new Guanzhong system, and currency rectification were all targeted.

"It turns out that the young master also has this intention. I thought that the person who is about to arrive in Handan City is indeed someone that the young master can work for. The young master might as well take this opportunity to deal with it. Maybe there is room for change."

Li Zuoche frowned and looked around intently, confirming that there were only two of them in the small room.

"What you mean is that you want me to use Zhao Xie's hand to recommend myself to Qin II."

"It's not a bad idea. In the past, when the first emperor of Qin was still the king of Qin, a Qi man named Mao Jiao risked his life to remonstrate with him and advised the king of Qin to take back the Queen Mother of Qin and Zhao. Later, the king of Qin really took his mother back and worshiped Mao Jiao as the official of the Qin State. .”

As Li Zuoche listened, his brows gradually began to loosen.

"But what can I advise Qin II?"

"The heroes from all walks of life in these six countries are respected by the people of one side, but in the eyes of the people of Qin, they are traitors. The villain thinks that the young master can persuade Qin II to pardon these people who were on the wanted list of Qin in the past. People. In this way, the Second World can be kind to heroes from all over the world, and it can show that the Second World has a broad mind, so that all the heroes in the world will join the Second World."

Li Zuoche listened, his eyes were clear, and he thought carefully.

Afterwards, Li Zuoche bowed and said to his servant:
"What you said today may help me ascend to the throne of the Emperor of Qin."

"It would be a great honor for me if I could help you."

"In just one year, the situation in the world has changed drastically. This is because Qin II dared to go against the grain and do things that were completely contrary to his father's views. This is the person who can make such a decision in Qin State when he abolished law and established Confucianism. He must have been born against the current, compared to Zhao Xie who only thought about how to exploit the common people, I really admire Qin II the most."

……

……

……

The next day, outside the gate of Handan City.

From early morning, a large number of troops began to enter Handan City in batches. The walls of Handan City were covered with Qin soldiers, like rows of black crows.

The sky was even more cloudy, as if it was foretelling something.

At the height of the sun, a shining golden carriage, surrounded by the army like dark clouds, slowly drove into Handan City.

Pulling the emperor's copper-covered carriage were eight white horses with fat bodies, well-proportioned limbs, long manes floating in the air, and bells hanging from their necks.

This made the carriage very conspicuous among the Hessian army.

Qin II's luxurious motorcade attracted the people on both sides to stand on tiptoe to watch, and the people on both sides were ordered to stand on both sides and bow to Qin II to express their respect for the emperor.

But the momentum of this army, with feathers on top, long axes on top, white light flashing, and horse hoofs rumbling, is like the legendary immortal in Zhao. If he saw the Human Emperor's momentum, he would definitely be shaken.

As for the Handan governor and garrison general, they were greeted in front of the city gate early.It's a pity that he didn't even see the emperor himself until he entered Handan City and the carriage entered the county mansion.

After the etiquette was completed, Qin II sat directly on the throne to inquire about politics.

The big room was empty, except for a table and a seat, there was nothing else.Although this is not the Dazheng Palace, the emperor's majesty is here, and the accompanying generals are all awe-inspiring, and the palace suddenly becomes silent, giving it the atmosphere of the Qin Xianyang Palace Dazheng Palace.

This is not the first time that these two people have met Qin Er, but these years are the best whetstones. Now that we meet again, Qin Er is no longer the green young man he used to be. He is becoming more and more fierce. As for these two, his waist and abdomen are even more protruding. , with white silk on her temples.

The governor of Handan County was a little surprised when he first heard it. Why did the emperor ask this as soon as he opened his mouth?

"When the late Emperor was still alive, he visited Handan City many times. The first time he came to Handan City was after he destroyed the Zhao Kingdom. Because the clans of the Zhao Kingdom had enmity with my grandmother, the Zhao family, they killed the royal family of the Zhao family."

"It is true that the late General Wang Jian was still the general at that time and personally executed these people's executions."

"I have always been curious. Is it because of this incident that the city of Handan has always been governed obediently and there are very few riots. Compared with Xinzheng, which is prone to riots, Handan City is obviously being governed. The management was in order. But this time, before I came to Handan City, I ordered people to secretly investigate the situation of Handan City. Only then did I understand that it was because of the concerted efforts of the county governor and the stationed general that Handan City was in such good shape that The people in Handan City are obedient."

"I will reward you. I will increase the food for you two."

The sheriff and general of Handan County were delighted when they heard this, and said with a heavy face:
"This is the responsibility of the two of us. I dare not claim credit for it, so I ask Your Majesty to take back my order."

"When the late emperor was still alive, you two worked diligently and managed Handan County in an orderly manner. Now that I am reforming Qin's laws, I will always vigorously implement them in Handan County. I can get the support of the people of Handan County because of you two. Credit."

Fusu knew that, in fact, the county guard, as the governor of a place, had a hard time living in another country, and he was facing a group of tyrannical people.

The people who can be selected by Qin Shihuang as the governor and garrison of Handan, Zhao State, are definitely not people with meager talents.

"I really can't bear to let you two stay here for a long time. I really feel bad if I don't reward you. I just don't know, apart from the reward of this food, what else do you want?"

Naturally, the two of them declined.

The second said:
"You two have nothing to ask for, and you must look down on my other rewards. How about I grant you both the title of king."

Both of them were naturally frightened.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we have absolutely no intention of doing this, and please be aware of it. The only thing we both hope is that the overall situation in the world will be stable and that Your Majesty can feel at ease."

"Both of you were originally from Xianyang, but now you have been stationed in Handan County for 20 years. I have also traveled abroad and understand this feeling. I respect you two very much, and it is also because of this."

Qin II had a delicate mind, and these words could be said to have touched the hearts of these two elderly Qin generals.

The biggest regret in the lives of these two old people is that their hometown is in Xianyang, but they finally settled in Handan City.

So the two of them burst into tears after listening to the second words.

"Thanks to His Majesty's mercy, we have nothing special to ask of Your Majesty. The only thing we hope for is to ask Your Majesty to bury us both in our old place in Xianyang."

Qin II suddenly remembered Wang Jian and Meng Wu. After their deaths, they all asked to be buried in their hometown without exception.

Although most people in this world spend their lives chasing fame and fortune, the attachment to their hometown is very real.

Especially for these generals who have experienced life and death, as they get older, they miss their homeland more deeply.

In front of everyone, especially the resident generals present, they couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing the new emperor's concern.

The cold atmosphere in this large room suddenly began to melt little by little like the snowy mountains in spring.

"You are all generals who have lived and died for the empire. It is not an exaggeration for me to be a king. How can I not agree to such a trivial matter? I will agree to it now."

After hearing the emperor's words, others naturally felt that the second generation was quite humane.

This time, there were only a few people from the palace and court who were accompanying him. They were generals from the Shangdang military camp. Fusu selected some of them to take with him.

Those who could reach a position where they could serve the emperor were either born into a high-status family or were old, with most being the latter.

Most of these veterans are out-and-out Old Qin people, and no one misses Old Qin - the land of Guanzhong - more than they do.

So it is not difficult to understand that the emperor's thoughtfulness made these veterans feel warm in their hearts.

Even Yang Mucong, the fifth doctor accompanying him this time, also saw such a scene and was in awe of the second generation.

Those reckless men in Xianyang didn't even know they were being framed.Yang Mucong, the fifth doctor who was also a member of the group of military generals, was on the outside and naturally saw what happened this time clearly.

Someone is planning to frame Zhao Ying, Sima Jing and others.

The power division within the empire is actually very fierce. With the reform and the emperor's authority stable, who is the person who is most worried about his own status?The Monte brothers or the Feng family?He even pointed the finger at Wang Wu, the censor, and clearly challenged the emperor's authority.

The second generation came here to reward these people, so that these veterans would be grateful to him, and their descendants and grandsons would also be loyal to him.

After the rewards were given, Qin II began to rectify the old Zhao.
"Handan County is thousands of miles away from the Qin State. It takes four days for soldiers and chariots to travel to Xianyang. Fortunately, there is only a river between Zhao and Qin, and there are no other obstacles. And Qin Zhao originally came from the same origin. Qin and Zhao have always influenced each other, and their folk customs are very different."

"Therefore, this Zhao land is not a difficult place to conquer. As long as the governance is decent and the cultural and educational laws are adhered to, the Zhao land will soon obey me. But I got news that there is a Zhao Xie in this Zhao land who is running rampant. And when my Qin army saw him, they gave in in fear."

"Is there such a thing?"

After hearing this, the county guard's face was still half-warm with tears just now, but his expression had already solidified.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Zhao Xie, the leader of the Zhao clan, owns a large number of fields and houses. Since the death of King Zhao, he has taken advantage of the chaos and led his servants to occupy a large amount of land. In addition, there are too many members of the Zhao clan in Handan City. , the people of Zhao State are willing to vassal them and ignore us, and there is nothing we can do."

Qin II was suddenly furious.

"In this case, why didn't you report it earlier!"

It was these county guards that Qin II reorganized.

Do you think someone will really give you warmth when you come in spring?

"Before I came to Shangdang, Handan and other counties, I deliberately checked the memorials submitted by the county guards from various places in the past. You are all accustomed to reporting only good news and not sorrow. The Handan County Sheriff never reported that Zhao Xie was so entrenched. People from one side of the country, and the three counties of the old Qi Dynasty, were also occupied by the Tian clan and fought against the government, but no one among the princes or officials has ever reported it."

"I'm terrified——"

"Failure to report what you know is a violation of Qin law. But I will spare you this time."

The two of them were so happy and surprised that they were already sweating profusely from the emperor's few words.

"I established the position of governor in order to attack these powerful landlords. They exploit and control the people and are really a threat to the empire. But this time, before I attack the powerful landlords of Zhao State, I have to do something else. "

"The common people in the world are not allowed to take the surname of the Six Kingdoms as their surname. This Zhao Xie, I don't care how many people he controls in Handan City, I want him to change his surname!"

With that said, Fusu looked at Yang Mucong.

"The governor——"

"The minister is here."

"I want you to personally issue my edict to Zhao Xie right now. If he refuses to obey, he will be killed on the spot."

The emperor meant that regardless of whether he had never obeyed, he would be killed directly for his disobedience.
