Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 36 Five Reasons
"First, at that time, the six kingdoms of Shandong were still in existence, and all of them were inferior to Qin. They did not join the alliance, and wanted to divide our Qin kingdom and then quickly. Xianyang is located in the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain, bordering the Wei River in the south, the plateau in the north, the Jing River in the east, and the Qing Dynasty in the north. The Luo River, the Yellow River, and the Three Rivers can form a line of defense, and our country, Qin, can defend against danger."

Many courtiers nodded their heads. Among them, many generals looked at Fusu and felt that Fusu was worthy of being the eldest son of Daqin. This statement at least had a certain understanding of military affairs.

Although the Six Kingdoms of Shandong had never really attacked the city of Xianyang, generally speaking, after they attacked Hangu Pass, they lacked stamina and began to fight among themselves.But even if they hit the city of Xianyang, Qin Guo was still not afraid.

It is impossible to capture a strong city like Xianyang without paying a heavy price, and before that, the six kingdoms of Shandong may have retreated early because of too much loss.

"Secondly, Xianyang is located on the Weishui River. If our country of Qin wants to conquer the world and attack the Central Plains from the east, Xianyang is the best choice. With the convenience of the Weishui River, our Daqin soldiers can go down the river and reach Qi in just a few days. country."

The release of these remarks once again won the approval of the generals and officers. During the Warring States period, there were constant wars and wars, and there was no day when there was no war. The first consideration when building a city was naturally its military value.

As a capital city, it must have a strong barrier, and it must stand the test of war.At the same time, it must be easy to mobilize the army. Otherwise, why Qin Xiangong moved the capital east to Liyang before was to facilitate the competition with Wei for the land of Hexi.

"Thirdly, moving the capital to Xianyang has the benefits of fishing and salt, living in the hinterland of Guanzhong, and can collect taxes in time."

"Fourth, the theory of five virtues holds that Qin is the virtue of water, with its back on the plateau and the surging Weishui, it is the dragon walking in front, and the land of Xianyang is surrounded by mountains and rivers, sitting on the south side, this is the atmosphere of the king. .This place should show the omen of water virtue, so Xianyang is the holy land of Xingqin."

Li Sidao: "Master Fusu, since Xianyang is a holy place to rejuvenate Qin Dynasty, why do you want to build a new capital now?"

Fu Su smiled and said: "Prime Minister, don't be in a hurry, wait for the boy to finish speaking, and then make a decision, okay?"

"Fifth, Duke Xiao built the new capital Xianyang to announce to the world that the reform of Qin State has achieved great success, and it is no longer a poor country in the past. The new capital Xianyang is the beginning of the rise of Qin State. After six generations, until today, the world has just been unified. , the six kingdoms will all be turned into ashes, ashes to ashes, and dust to dust."

"What do you guys think of these five points?" Fusu looked at the courtier and asked with a smile.

Yingzheng nodded slightly. Yingzheng didn't think about what Fusu said before, but this time, Fusu only said a little bit, and Yingzheng immediately understood it all.

Ying Zheng is not only proficient in politics, but also has good attainments in military affairs.As an emperor, the only one worthy of the title of emperor through the ages is Ying Zheng.

In later generations, Kang Mazi would also like to get his hands on the title of Emperor of the Ages, but Fusu just wanted to say: Bah!There is also Qianlong, who called himself Shiquan old man, and wrote more than 4 poems in his life, the number surpassed the entire Tang Dynasty, but none of them were remembered.

Thinking about these two guys, Fusu felt that these two people were really shameless, and they put money on them like this...

It can only be said that as long as you grasp the literati's pen well, why can't you blow out a flower for you?
Seeing the courtiers agreeing, Fusu continued: "However, up to now, Xianyang is only barely used."

"There are also five reasons for Fusu today, which explain the necessity of building a new capital."

"I would like to hear the details." Many courtiers were quietly waiting for Fusu's next words.

"First, as Yan Le, the order of Xianyang, said, Xianyang has a large population, and there are mixed fish and dragons outside Xianyang Palace. Fusu thinks that building a new palace is worse than building a new capital city."

"Secondly, a hundred years ago, Duke Xiao moved his capital to Xianyang. He never thought that our Great Qin would gobble up the world and wipe out the six kingdoms in just six generations. Xianyang used to only control the land of Yongzhou, but today, the territory of our Great Qin is The most since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the land of Kyushu is under the control of our Great Qin, and the tiny land of Xianyang is already unusable, since a new capital should be built, and it will function as the capital of the whole country."

"Thirdly, my great Qin is not what it used to be. How can the mere Xianyang Palace show the demeanor of my father's emperor? And how can it be worthy of my father's outstanding achievements? Building a new capital can not only demonstrate the strength of our great Qin. , and let the future generations remember the feats made by the father, and the ministers can also be listed in the annals of history with the father, and the merits will last forever."

This point really speaks to Yingzheng's heart. Since the eradication of the six countries, Yingzheng has become extremely inflated, and he has to do the best and achieve the ultimate in everything.

Isn't it the right time to build a new capital to reflect one's achievements?
And many ministers were also moved by Fusu's words.Life is only a moment, who doesn't want to be famous in the world and be remembered by future generations?Now, there is such a ready opportunity in front of you, there is no reason to miss it!
"Fourth, from the beginning of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, then the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and until our Great Qin Dynasty, there was the unification of the world today. This is the first of our kind in ancient times. The establishment of a new capital is really a witness to the beginning of our Xias."

"And my son once heard the immortals say that there are still countless countries outside of our Great Qin. In the future, those barbarians from foreign countries will come to our Great Qin and build a new capital. They are serving the guests of the barbarians so that the barbarians dare not underestimate China."

The authenticity of Fusu's words did not arouse others' suspicion at all. Immortals do exist, and Fusu has proved it with his own actions.

Besides, Fusu really dared to pat his chest and say that he was right, not to mention the poison, the Western Regions alone are already full of small countries.

"Fifth, the world has been decided, so the palace can be used, and the emperor's home is everywhere. If it is not magnificent, there is no prestige, and there is no way for future generations to add it."

Fusu decisively copied the words of Xiao He, the Prime Minister of the early Han Dynasty, not only to satisfy the vanity of the first emperor, but also to completely eliminate the desire of later emperors to build a new palace.

For such a big project, just do it once and it will be fine. It is best to solve all similar problems once and for all.

If the emperors of the later generations still want to build a new palace, they must first weigh whether their achievements have surpassed that of the first emperor. If they exceed, there is nothing to say.No more than, huh, huh, the next one.

But it is not an exaggeration to say that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky to surpass the first emperor in merit.

"The above five points are the reasons why I think the new capital should be built. I ask the emperor to judge it." After Fusu finished speaking, he respectfully stepped aside.

Yan Le looked at Fusu who was talking eloquently, and the shock in his heart could not be overstated. Some of the words Fusu said were, to say the least, embellished and revised some of what he said, and then became Fusu's own. .
