Chapter 811 There is an old man in the family [Please subscribe*Please vote for the monthly ticket]

Ying Xi didn't care that it was disrespectful for a son to scold his father. As an eldest brother whose throne had been robbed, what was wrong with him scolding him a few words?
What he said is true. Why was the Zhou Dynasty destroyed by King Zhuangxiang and Lu Buwei?
Located on the border of Qin, Wei and Han, it dared to fight with the princes and was heavily in debt.

The Zhou Dynasty had already gone bankrupt. Even if there was no Zichu or Lu Buwei, no other Qin king would have allowed the Zhou Dynasty to survive.

With the team left behind by King Zhaoxiang and King Xiaowen, destroying the Zhou Dynasty is really not something to boast about.

Ying Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with what Ying Xi said.

While he was considering employing Ying Xi, didn't he allow Ying Xi to test his tolerance for others?

It seems that Ying Xi is scolding Zichu, but isn't he actually testing his temperament?

If he was angry about this, the worst that could happen to Ying Xi was that he would go back to the mountains of Longxi and stay there. This was better than following an intolerant king, being abandoned and having his entire family killed without a burial place.

Seeing that Ying Zheng did not refute, Ying Xi also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that coming out this time was the right choice.

"The princes have existed for a long time. Although the goal of our Great Qin since Duke Xiao has been to swallow up the world, this is just like what Confucianism said about the great way of the world being public, and what Mohism said about loving the world universally. These are all general talks and unrealistic ideals."

"No one ever thought that the Qin Dynasty would one day be able to swallow up all the other princes."

Ying Xi said with emotion.

This is not only his idea, but also the idea of ​​people all over the world.

The princes have existed for so long that the strategy of forming alliances and making coalitions has been thoroughly studied by them.

Therefore, no one thought that the Qin State could really swallow up all the princes in the world.

What they thought was that the Qin State would conquer the east and the west, seize cities and territories, gain some advantages, and then be defeated by the princes. This had become a habit in the world.

Even after Qin destroyed Han, the princes did not think that Qin could occupy Han for long. By the time the princes realized their mistake, Han would be restored with the support of the princes.

But no one expected that Ying Zheng not only destroyed the State of Han, but also grasped the psychology of the princes very well, handled the relationship between the princes, and destroyed the State of Zhao.

At this point, the princes realized that they had underestimated Ying Zheng's ambition.

However, after the demise of Han and Zhao, the princes were powerless to reverse the situation and could only watch Qin annex the Three Jins without being able to stop it.

"The State of Chu has also perished!" Ying Zheng finally spoke.

Ying Xi was stunned for a moment. This was both within his expectations and beyond his expectations.

It was impossible for him not to know about the large-scale mobilization of the Northern Army. He even had a son who joined the Northern Army under a false name and served under Li Xin and Qiang Wei.

But he didn't expect that after competing with Qin for so many years, the Chu State, which was the T0 among the princes, would perish so quietly.

In the whole world, except for the former Zhao State, the current Chu State is the only one that can compete with the Qin State. However, it was unexpected that the Chu State would be destroyed in less than a year.

"Li Xin is so brave?" Ying Xi was surprised.

Even when Wang Jian destroyed Zhao, with the help of Bing Jun, it still took Qin nearly a year to destroy Zhao. In addition to controlling Zhao, it actually took Qin nearly two to three years to complete the complete destruction of Zhao.

"The State of Chu brought its own destruction upon itself!" Ying Zheng said calmly, without attributing all the credit for the destruction of Chu to the State of Qin and Li Xin.

If Chu had not provoked the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry, it would not have provoked Li Ren and Wei Ju, and Qin would not have launched a war to destroy Chu without completely controlling Wei.

After listening to Ying Zheng's explanation, Ying Xi didn't know what to say about the State of Chu.

Why mess with that barefoot lunatic in Bingzhou when there are so many people to mess with? That’s right, in the eyes of Ying Xi and the Qin people, Bingzhou is a barefoot lunatic!

"So the king called me back this time because of the State of Chu?" Ying Xi narrowed his eyes slightly.

He is now in his fifties, not too old, but not too young either, and is in his prime.

"Yes!" Ying Zheng nodded.

"Although Chu has been conquered by the army, my Qin State cannot afford so many officials to control Chu, and the county system implemented by Qin State may not be applicable to Chu!"

"The Great Emperor Xuanwu sent a message to me saying that Qin is taking too big a step." Ying Zheng did not say what Yan Yan's letter said, which was even more vulgar, taking too big a step and pulling the crotch!

Ying Xi narrowed his eyes. There were really not many young people in the world today who caught his eye, and Ying Zheng and Yan Yan were undoubtedly the two most dazzling ones of this era.

No matter what Yan Yan did or what Ying Zheng did, it would be impossible for anyone to succeed.

Therefore, it can be said that the two are the most ruthless emperors that have not appeared in China for thousands of years.

If someone said that there was a problem with the county system, Ying Xi would slap them and say, "What's wrong with the county system that my Qin has used for so many years?"
But this person happened to be Yan Yan, so Ying Xi had to consider whether there was a problem with the county system.

"What's the specific problem?" Ying Xi asked seriously.

After all, he had been away from the court for a long time, and the information he obtained was all hearsay.

"How should the relationship between the aristocratic families and the Qin State be handled, how should the people of Chu be managed, and how should the troops confiscated by the princes be dealt with..."

Ying Zheng spoke bit by bit.

Ying Xi narrowed his eyes. In the first half of his life, he was the eldest prince of the Qin State, so naturally he had come into contact with these problems.

Although the Qin State was constantly conquering cities and territories, it had never been able to conquer such a vast territory and cities at one time.

"Destroying a country? I haven't heard that for many years!" Ying Xi laughed.

When it comes to matters of destroying a country, no one has more say than Qin, Wei and Chu.

Among the princes, why did Qin, Wei and Chu occupy T0 for a long time? It was because during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, these three were the ones that destroyed the most countries.

"Uncle Wang knows?" Ying Zheng couldn't help but relax a little when he saw Ying Xi's smile. Perhaps this is what people often say, an old man in the family is like a treasure.

It’s a pity that after he ascended the throne, he had no elders to rely on except Queen Dowager Huayang.

"What did my Great Qin do after it destroyed the Kingdom of Shu, and how did Bashu submit to my Great Qin?" Ying Xi asked with a smile.

Ying Zheng listened to Ying Xi's words, thought carefully about Qin's management of Shu, and then looked at Ying Xi in shock.

What did Qin do after conquering Shu?
In addition to having Li Bing and his son dig canals and build the city of Chengdu, the Shu marquis of each generation was among the most outstanding sons of the Qin royal family.

To put it another way, if Ying Xi had not assassinated Lu Buwei and Zichu, the place Ying Xi, who had failed in the bid for the throne, would most likely have gone to was Shu and become the Marquis of Shu!
"The nobility has its own rules. According to the nobility's standards, the world is made up of aristocratic families, and my Ying family is the largest aristocratic family in the world."

"So, if you want to completely control a place, you have to follow the local rules!"

Ying Xi explained to Ying Zheng bit by bit.

Lu Buwei didn't know these things, and King Zhuangxiang of Qin died before he had the chance to teach Ying Zheng, so Ying Zheng really didn't know.
