Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 695: A gentleman is magnanimous (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
An old man in the crowd stood up. He was thin and had protruding cheekbones, but his eyes were very sharp.He sat on a high seat and looked down, like an eagle hovering in the sky.It looks like he is careless, but in fact he is observing secretly, preparing to hit him immediately.

The old man stood up and widened his sleeves.

"What Zifang said is not unreasonable. When it comes to country hatred and family feud, Zifang's hatred is indeed deeper than that of everyone present, but Zifang, we have provided you with a lot of information and opportunities. I heard that you are Xianyang has been lurking for half a year, doing nothing but playing chess with the young master all day long."

The person speaking was Zhang Liang's uncle.

The old man spoke in a leisurely manner, but every word that came out of his mouth and fell on everyone's ears was like hammering nails into wood.

This incident actually alarmed his uncle, which showed that these people couldn't wait any longer and wanted to put pressure on him.

Facing his uncle, Zhang Liang had to tell the truth:

"That's true."

"I also heard that you once told Young Master Cheng that if you give Qin II another eight years, the world will completely become Qin's."

For a moment, everyone in the hall was silent.

In the past, Zhang Liang was very radical and would never make such an evaluation of the ruler of Qin.For the First Emperor, he wanted to eat his bones and drink his blood.Why did you reach the second generation and give such a positive evaluation?

For a moment, all eyes came to him, and emotions such as surprise, doubt, fear, anger, and shock were written on their faces.

After Zhang Liang heard this, he calmly said:

"Liang did say such a thing. It's just that Liang said it wrong at the time."

After hearing this, everyone put their raised hearts back into their stomachs.

"Before Zifang received the marriage gift from the second emperor to the Youyu family, he thought it would take another eight years for Qin to completely rule the world. But now, I see that the second emperor of Qin's strategy of governing the country is a combination of hardness and softness, which is just right. Marrying the princess to the Yu family means the establishment of a country within a kingdom in Jiangdong, which is of great significance. With the full support of Qin II, the Yu family will become the largest wealthy family in Jiangdong in just three to five years. In time, the nobles in Jiangdong will stand up, if my predictions are correct. After Qin Ershi grants the marriage, they will withdraw their troops."

Zhang Zifang has always been extremely intelligent and courageous, and he also knows things like a god.

What he said basically came true.

Now that he said such words again, it naturally caused the whole room to panic.

His uncle was stunned on the spot for a moment. At this time, his eyes were not sharp, but full of surprise.

"Zifang, why are you so sure?"

"As far as I know, the 30 troops stationed in Chu were originally the old troops of Qin's traitor general Tu Wei. These 30 troops are not the trump card among Qin's elites, but they were all strong at the beginning. Now 14 years have passed, and the army Not to mention the low morale of the sergeant, his strength has long faded. In addition, the Qin State implemented the Guanzhong standard system, and Jiangdong has become a place that people in Guanzhong despise. If Qin II wants to do frivolous corvee and low taxes, the first person to be affected is the army. He is It had to cease.”

"The second emperor is different from the first emperor. He is very popular with civil officials. As far as I know, since he succeeded to the throne, those civil officials have reported all the things that they wanted to cover up because of fear of crime. It is different from being immersed in Qin Shihuang, who contributed to the unification of the empire, is in a position where he knows better than everyone here what the world is like today."

Zhang Liang's words were very objective, but today's guests couldn't listen to his words.

Zhou Ren twirled his beard,

"The world is so big, and the territory of the six kingdoms is far larger than the territory of Qin. Qin's national system is that one person can decide the world's major events. He may have the intention, but he is powerless. So entrenching himself in the pass and relaxing outside the pass, I think this is our Opportunity."

"No, I think this is a great decision. If a king does not know how to compromise and endure, then the people of the world will suffer. But Qin II is a person who understands this truth. As for what Duke Zhou said, it is exactly the opposite. . This great decision will make South Korea completely history. Relaxing control over Jiangdong comes at the expense of strengthening control over South Korea, Zhao, and Wei."

Everyone couldn't help but feel numb after hearing this.

"For the second generation, marrying a princess to the declining Yu family in such a big way requires a certain amount of courage. I think it won't be long before the second generation of Qin will make a new decision. This person will allow Chu The nobles left behind by the country will continue to survive, and even the identity and status of these declining nobles will be restored. This means that the nobles of Chu will be grateful for Qin II's kindness."

Compromise is the art of politics, and in Zhang Liang's opinion, Qin II seemed to have a talent for governing the country.

"Where you can't invade with a sword, use benevolence and righteousness to invade. This is the brilliance of Qin II. It was impossible for the first emperor to complete in 20 years, but for the second emperor, it can be completed in five years. Just today I Before I came, I got another message."

"Zifang knows that what he has done over the years has made you very dissatisfied. Even today, Duke Zhou has ambushed a killer at the door to kill me."

When Zhou Ren heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and the wine cup in his hand was knocked over. He picked up the wine cup in a panic, lowered his head guiltily in front of everyone, and kept shaking his head:

"It's better not to make such a joke in the ovary."

Everyone looked at Zhou Ren with admiration in their eyes. This man did what I wanted to do but didn't dare to do.

But looking back at Zifang, he is still so calm and composed. He is obviously the person who was assassinated, but his current performance is that this matter has nothing to do with him.

Zhang Liang was sitting in this hall, surrounded by people who were looking at him. Many people wanted to kill Zhang Liang.

Because Zhang Liang had already given up his pick, he didn't want to do it anymore.

But even so, Zhang Liang is like an ancient sword standing here.The ancient sword has not been unsheathed yet, but everyone knows that the blade is hidden in the scabbard to frighten its sharpness, and no one dares to approach it on the surface, only dare to strike secretly.

Now that Zifang took the initiative to reveal this matter, many people present were ashamed, but Zifang's eyes were clear, and he showed an indifferent appearance today, just like Xiuzhu.There was no resentment or sharpness in his eyes, just the indifference after seeing through everything. Anyone who was overlooked by Zhang Liang's gaze could not help but feel a little shorter.

"Tonight's banquet is actually for you to interrogate Zifang, hoping that Zifang will take your place and continue to resist the Qin State. More than ten years have passed, and all that remains in your hearts is hatred. Most of you are in your seventies, I don’t want to leave with regrets.”

"If Zifang refuses today, or really praises Qin Er Shi as you have heard, then Zifang will not be able to leave this room alive today."
