Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 581 This night is unforgettable (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

Zhang Ping was in his 40s and had witnessed with his own eyes how the Qin State encroached on the world from one of the Seven Kingdoms and swallowed up the whole world. He had rich experience.Having experienced his youth, it was naturally easy for him to understand the emperor.The second generation is much younger than him.

Zhang Ping bowed and comforted the second king:
"I heard that Duke Xiao's reform lasted for several years. Reform is a matter of changing customs, and hundreds of years of habits cannot be completed overnight. Your Majesty should relax. Regardless of resistance, I think your Majesty only needs to Wait patiently, and I believe that as the stars turn, those voices that once questioned His Majesty will eventually disappear."

"I wonder what kind of person I am in your eyes?"

Zhang Ping replied calmly:

"Your Majesty worked hard to rule the country and became famous all over the world."

Zhang Ping was naturally very satisfied with this answer.

But Fusu pressed him and asked:

"Is that all I have?"

Hearing that the second son's tone was not kind, Zhang Ping did not dare to neglect him at all. As he became more respectful, he thought about the second son's fundamental purpose tonight.

The only interest of the Zhang family to the second generation is 20 prisoners, but Zhang Han still doesn't understand why His Majesty needs 20 prisoners?
"His Majesty has the foresight to advocate reforms and bring blessings to the world."

"If you can only say this, then I will assume that you have never been to Wangyi Palace tonight."

The second generation said calmly.

For a minister, the emperor's expulsion order means that he will never be hired.In addition, the clan members must be implicated.

Zhang Ping felt fear in his heart, but he still couldn't think of what the Second Emperor wanted him to say.

"Do you still remember Gongzi Qian and Gongsun Jia?"

"These two people are Prince Zuo Fu and Prince You Fu of King Huiwen of the pre-Qin Dynasty."

"Do you know what the two of them experienced during Shang Yang's political reform?"

"When King Huiwen of the pre-Qin Dynasty was the crown prince, he violated the law, and the Taifu was punished on his behalf by being tattooed."

"According to Qin law, what does it mean for a person to be tattooed?"

"As a slave, you are not allowed to be employed."

"Then do you know why Duke Xiao supported Shang Yang in punishing the tutor of King Huiwen of the pre-Qin Dynasty?"

"Kill one to serve as a warning to others, and serve as a warning to others."

"It can be seen from this that the reform requires someone to shed blood and sacrifice. Isn't that right?"

"Of course everything your Majesty said is right."

"But now, when I reform the law, I am the one who bleeds. As a person who advocates the reform, I end up letting myself bleed. Do you think such a reform can be successful?"

Zhang Ping didn't dare to answer anymore.

He seemed to understand the second emperor's intention in asking him to come to Wangyi Palace.This is to hand the knife to Zhang and let Zhang do it for the emperor.

"Answer my question."

This roar shattered Zhang Ping's defense, and Zhang Ping gritted his teeth and said:
"No."

"If it were you sitting on the throne today, what would you do if faced with my predicament?"

"I dare not think so."

"I order you to think."

"Strike first and strike later to control others!"

"Okay, good point! Get flat."

Zhang Ping did not dare to relax and straightened up carefully.

"You just mentioned a preemptive strike, and I also thought about a preemptive strike. I wonder if you have heard of the rumors about moving the capital?"

"I heard a little bit about it. But I thought it was just a rumor at the time."

"It seems like you think moving the capital won't solve the problem."

"Xianyang is the capital of the people of Qin. If we move the capital, we will abandon the people of Xianyang. Your Majesty cherishes the old Qin people in Guanzhong and demarcates the tax levels in Guanzhong and outside Guanzhong to protect the interests of the Qin people. I don't believe that your Majesty will To move the capital."

"Rabbits will bite when cornered. Why do you think I will definitely not move the capital?"

"Moving the capital will do more harm than good. Xianyang City has the foundation of Qin State for hundreds of years, and now there is the tomb of the late emperor next to Lishan Mountain. If Your Majesty wants to move the capital, it will be several times more difficult than the reform. With Your Majesty's advice Zhi, will definitely not do such a thing."

"That's right. But according to what you said, I have absolutely no other choice but to wait for the opponents to place their swords on my neck."

The Supreme Being in the World talked to him about regicide alone in the middle of the night, and Zhang Ping's scalp naturally went numb.

Zhang Ping had no choice but to say:

"I am willing to defend your majesty to the death. Please rest assured, your majesty."

After hearing this, the Second King still looked indifferent.For the second generation, this loyalty, Zhang Shi is not willing to follow it, but he can do it!
"I want you to give me an idea? I'll give you time to think about it in Wangyi Palace. Wait until you come up with a solution and then leave the palace."

Zhang Ping was surprised.

"only!"

After the second son finished speaking, he went to sleep on the bed without looking back.

Zhang Ping carefully exited the inner hall and stood outside the hall thinking.

The palace outside was luxurious and bright, and there were many guards. Their gazes fell on Zhang Ping, which naturally made him feel like a thorn in his back.

This night was extremely long for Zhang Ping.

When the water droplets in the hourglass fell into the large vat along the golden tube, the sound of every drop hit Zhang Ping's heart.

In the early morning of the next day, the first ray of sunlight entered from behind the main hall.

The eunuchs crowded into the second son's bedroom one by one.Zhang Ping was awakened by these noisy footsteps, and then woke up from his sleep. He stood respectfully on the spot.

Hearing a report from someone in the hall, it turns out that at this time, his elder brother Zhang Han should leave for his post.

Only then did Zhang Ping realize that the Second Emperor did not want him to see Zhang Han off.

As the captain of the guard army, Zhang Han should have the trust of the second generation, but now the second generation trapped him as his younger brother in the palace.

Although Zhang Ping couldn't figure it out, he already had a premonition that something big was going to happen to his brother.

The second generation didn't seem to be in a hurry for his answer. He left the inner hall and just glanced at Zhang Ping, who looked tired, and then walked away.

Zhang Ping was worried, but he never dared to be cruel.

Zhang Ping didn't return all night, so Zhang Ping's family thought he had gone to Lishan Mountain and no one was looking for him. At the Lishan Mausoleum, they thought Zhang Ping was in Xianyang City and no one came to urge him.

Zhang Ping waited from dawn to dusk. Except for the eunuchs and guards who came and went, he could not see anyone he knew.

But the answer had already appeared in Zhang Ping's mind, so he dared not say it.

That's thousands of aristocratic families.

20 prisoners, each with a mouthful of saliva, can drown those thousand military families.But why did such an errand fall on his head!
……

……

……

Zhangtai, the second generation is still checking those old accounts.If these reforms are not carried out thoroughly, the New Deal will be nothing but empty slogans.

Wei Ji reported the accounts to the Second Emperor in Zhangtai, but the protagonist of the discussion remained the same.

"In this way, it is an indisputable fact that Zhang Han cooperated with the army to conquer and extort money from the six countries."

The second emperor really admired Zhang Han very much, but the second emperor couldn't ignore some of Zhang Han's actions.

"It seems that Zhang Han is actually quite prestigious in front of the generals in the army. My worries are all unnecessary."

Wei Ji Surong:

"Your Majesty, I am not defending the captain. After decades of truce, the generals and officers in the army have complained. If not, the resentment in their hearts will be difficult to calm down. Any Qin people will naturally turn to the Qin people."

"Your words just prove to me once again that implementing the Guanzhong Standard System is correct."

"But Your Majesty, this system can only last for a while."

"I know. If the people of the six countries do not get the benefits, they will rebel sooner or later. The purpose of expanding Guanzhong is to reduce the exploitation of the people in the old lands of Han, Zhao, and Wei. However, after the adjustment of the tax hierarchy, it also increased the pressure on the counties. Taxation. I plan to follow Zhang Han’s suggestion and order the prefecture to send troops to attack Ren Xiaotu Wei and flatten South Vietnam. I want to use the war to promote some of the people of Qi and Chu, so that they can benefit from the war."

"However, before that, I have to do something big to let everyone in the world know my determination to reform."

After hearing this, Wei Ji naturally didn't take it seriously. He just looked at His Majesty with a smile:

"I wonder what big thing your Majesty wants to do? But to this day, everything your Majesty does is a big thing that shocks the world. Even casually singing songs has impressed the world's scholars."
