Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 658: The Chu Clan (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

The Chu State is a very "traditional" vassal state. Under the influence of the Zhou royal family, almost every generation of Chu kings has their own younger brothers and sons. Therefore, the clans born in the Chu State are far more than the three Qu Jingzhao families.For example, more than 100 clans such as Dou, Wu, Lan, Ma, Zhong, Miao, Zuo, Zhuo, and Cheng are all descendants of the Mi surname in Chu State.

In other words, the Xiong clan, where the King of Chu belongs, and these more than 100 clans are all descendants of the Mi surname. The Chu State has always paid more attention to the aristocracy, so the above-mentioned families have gained a foothold in the Chu State.

Why Qin II was most worried about Chu was precisely because the nobles of Chu had not fallen at all.These clans were scattered and entrenched in various places, and they chose to protect themselves in the face of the peril of Chu State.

When the Qin State destroyed the Chu State in one fell swoop, it created a lasting reputation for the First Emperor of Qin, but it also left disaster to the Second Emperor of Qin.The nobles of Chu State retained their strength because some of them lost their battle flags early and fled home.

Therefore, although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die.

The aristocrats of the Chu State represented by Qu Jingzhao, on the contrary, because they enjoyed the 14 years of peace created by the Qin State for the world, they squeezed and exploited the common people even more, so that they nourished themselves even more greedily.

Since the nobles of Chu State dared to hold such a large-scale coronation ceremony, they were obviously well prepared.

Xiao He came early, and it took him half an hour to wait for everyone.

[In ancient times, half an hour is now one hour. 】

I saw the heads of all the clans in Chu State coming to this place.Chu people have their own customs and habits, and they all wear forehead wisps with white jade strung on their heads.

Xiao He suddenly felt huge pressure.

For a crowning ceremony, at least 300 people were invited just for the surname.Sun Tong looked at it and knew in his heart that Chu State still had strength!And the strength is very strong. No wonder today's people value Chu State so much.

Xiao He suddenly felt that he had entered a situation of right and wrong.

In fact, in today's coronation ceremony, he was just a guest, and he was not even sure whether the host was from Chu or Qin.

……

……

……

Thousands of miles away from Chen County to the west is Xianyang City in Guanzhong.

It is also the end of October, in the evening scene of late autumn, red leaves abound on the mountains, and red flowers and yellow leaves are scattered in the palace.

The Second Emperor frowned at several memorials.

"The last general, Chi Wu, pays homage to Your Majesty. In the land of Jingchu today, the nobles still exist and are colluding with the party. The late emperor passed away, and they celebrated in private. Now that His Majesty is in great rule, although he has brought great benefits to the world, the rebellious people are ready to make a comeback. I only hope that your Majesty will understand clearly."

Chi Wu's memorial is accompanied by a line of small print.Greetings Your Majesty.

"The last general Zhao Tuo reported to your majesty that there are many refugees in Jingdi. They are hiding in the mountains and forests. They do not pay taxes or register with their household registration. The noble families cover up each other and compete with each other in private for fear of not being powerful enough. I hope your majesty will use heavy troops to suppress them."

"Your Majesty, Wang Wu of Caomin, has arrived at Chen County. After many investigations, nothing unusual was found, but I found it strange. Although the Queen Mother is taking care of her, she has unforeseen intentions, and the matter of offering her daughter is probably a fraud."

Meng Yi accompanied the second generation today, and the second generation showed these memorials to Meng Yi.

"The land of Jiangdong is really in serious trouble. These nobles must be punished vigorously. Why don't your majesty send your brother to inspect Jiangdong. If there are any people with evil intentions, kill them on the spot to shock Jiangdong."

"To attack local forces, capture the thieves first and capture the king, this is the principle. It's just possible in other places, but not in Jingchu."

"Why not Jingchu?"

"Jiangdong is different from the land of Qilu. It can be used as a buffer. As long as I control the six counties of Shandong, the land of Qilu is not afraid. Therefore, I only need to kill a few nobles to calm it down. But in Jiangdong, if I If these nobles are angered, they will work hard to reach Xianyang. Nanyang County and Nan County are both in trouble. Tu Wei and Ren Xiao are also in central Guizhou."

"If you pull one hair, your whole body will be affected. I can only endure it for the time being. When the officials and people of Zhao, Wei and Han surrender to Qin's rule, then these problems can be solved one by one."

Meng Yi listened and sighed involuntarily:

"Your Majesty, it is too difficult to govern the world. I remember that when I conquered the world, I never had these troubles."

"We are waiting for the people in Guanzhong to have enough food and clothing, and Zhao, Han and Wei are all under control. At that time, we will still be afraid of Jingchu. The Guanzhong standard system is originally to prevent such a crisis. It's just that the speed of the Jingdi nobles is much faster than me. Expect it quickly.”

"Your Majesty, we all know now that there will definitely be another war between Qin and Chu in the future. However, starting a war again in a short period of time will cause chaos, and some people will take advantage of it to cause chaos. We still need to implement a delaying strategy at the moment."

"I thought so too, so I thought about delaying the attack first."

Time is a big problem. Without the implementation of the policy of light corvee and low taxes for three to five years, a large number of farmers will go bankrupt, which will definitely lead to the collapse of the Guanzhong system.

Even if they win the Chu State, what's the use? Guanzhong's vitality is severely damaged, and how will it deal with the tigers and wolves in the north, the Miaojiang in the south, and the counties and states.

This is dangerous.

Compromise has been the soul of politics since ancient times.

Compromising will extend the timeline and allow things to turn around.

It is not wise to attack rashly.The world is a big chess game, and there are thousands of people playing against me.

"What does Your Majesty plan to do? Meng is willing to do his best to help His Majesty."

"I have left this matter to Wang Wu."

Wang Wu?

Everyone in the civil and military dynasties didn't know that the emperor would recall him sooner or later.

"I plan to call back Wang Wu, Xiao He and others after one year. What do you think?"

"Chief Xiao is a rare incorruptible person, and I have always admired him. It's just Wang Wu, how can he return empty-handed."

"I also asked other ministers, and they said the same thing. But how can a commoner without officials or soldiers achieve great results?"

When Wang Wu arrived in Jingchu, if it weren't for the large army in Jingchu, his small life would have been lost long ago.

"The position of Prime Minister has been vacant for several months, and the ministers are leaderless. I don't know who Your Majesty plans to appoint as Prime Minister."

"There are you Meng brothers in the court. One is the Sikou and the other is the censor. With the two of you here, the court is well-organized. Now there are four departments under the Nine Ministers to take charge of political affairs. I think the position of the Prime Minister is It’s no big deal if it’s empty.”

Meng Yi heard some rumors and wanted to ask the emperor what he wanted today.In terms of strength, Meng Tian should be the prime minister, not to mention the late emperor's legacy.

If II doesn't answer, it's already an answer.

The position of prime minister will not be anyone from the Montessori brothers.The position of the three princes is only missing a prime minister.

Your Majesty plans to recall Xiao He and Wang Wu at the same time.Your Majesty wanted to recall Wang Wu because he couldn't bear the suffering of his uncle and felt indebted to him.With your Majesty's wisdom, you can't help but understand that Wang Wu is not suitable to be prime minister. Could it be said that the next person to be prime minister is really Xiao He?
As for Wang Wu, if he returns to the court in the future, Your Majesty will no longer have a high position for him.

The Second Emperor stood at the entrance of the palace and looked to the southwest, while Meng Yi followed Fusu. He looked at the back of the person in front of him, and for a moment he felt an inexplicable respect in his heart.

The second generation will definitely be an existence that surpasses the first emperor, because in him, Meng Yi sees the hope that he can change the destiny of the people in the world.

He, the Sikou, must do better to be worthy of the second rank!

……

……

……

Chenjun, Jiangdong, Yufu.

The heads of all the tribes in Xichu have arrived.Except for the particularly prominent one who wore a white jade crown, everyone else was wearing dark clothes and relatively simple clothes. Some people even came here in coarse linen clothes. They were obviously farmers.

When Yu Changhou saw it, he couldn't help but frown.I meant to be polite, so I invited these down-and-out families. After all, they were the same family hundreds of years ago.I just didn't expect them to actually come.

(Can everyone please not be anxious, because the timeline here involves Han Xin going to fight a very important battle. This war is related to the face and majesty of Qin II, and also to the counties and counties in Jiangdong. If we start the fight now , more people will die in the future, and Qin will explode by then. With all due respect, Qin cannot afford any war now. Why did Li Xin go to fight the Xiongnu and bring an end to the Longxi War? They are all the protagonists. If you have arranged it intentionally, please be patient. I have calmed down these days and am working hard for everyone.)
