Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 122 The Book of Remonstrance

Early April.

Yingzheng hosted a banquet at the Qinchuan Palace, Yingxi, the eldest concubine of Siche, and Yingyuan, the great Sima.

Li Si accompanied him to the banquet.

The purpose of this banquet is to appease the restless emotions of the clan members.

After all, the clan's children threw their heads and blood for him to be in charge of the government, but in the end they were overwhelmed by their relatives.

How can this convince everyone?
As his uncle, Ying Xi was the leader of the clan, and he had to come forward if he wanted to appease the clan properly.

Yingxi was also full of grievances and had nowhere to vent.

On the night of the Xianyang coup, he bravely killed the enemy and was seriously injured, but where was Mi Qi at that time?
In order to protect himself, he did not participate in the war, so why did he finally pay homage to the prime minister?
Although he personally killed the rebel General Fan Yuqi, but after all, he was unwilling to do so, and killing many people would not be enough to calm the grievance in his heart.

Ying Yuan understands all the process, but he has been watching with cold eyes and did not intervene.

He is a courtier of the king first, and a clan relative second.

In the entire palace, there were only Ying Xi, Ying Yuan, Li Si and King Qin.

The latter took this opportunity to clarify the matter and said, "Uncle, I know in my heart that you have been wronged, but have you ever thought about it, the clan's children are good and bad, and they always have high eyes but low powers and act recklessly. feasible?"

Hearing the sound, Yingxi dissatisfied and said: "Since the king looks down on us people with the surname Ying, why should I let my children with the surname Ying bleed and die in vain?"

"uncle!"

If Yingzheng's statement is true: "Nephew doesn't mean that! The family members of the Ying surname threw their heads and blood for the country, and the widows can see it, but the court is dangerous. They can really take on the responsibility of governing the country? If they can't, why? Can't live a rich life?
How many years have foreign relatives participated in politics, but has there been a good death?The widow does not hope that one day, the clan's children did not die on the battlefield, but died in the dark arrows of the court!

Wouldn't it be nice to let them be the children of a rich family, carefree all their lives, have enough food and clothing, and stand up when the country is in crisis?The widow keeps them!Qin Guo raised them!

They don't need to be on guard against cold arrows like those foreign relatives and foreigners, and they can obtain wealth that ordinary people can hardly obtain. Isn't that enough? "

Hearing his words from the bottom of his heart, Ying Xi understood.

However, in Ying Yuan's eyes, this is really deception.

"Uncle, you still need to come forward in person to appease those clan children." Ying Zheng took advantage of the situation and continued.

Yingxi thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "I hope the king can rest assured that there are ministers here, and those clan's children will not be messed up."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and turned to Ying Yuan, "What do you think about Li Mu's 30 troops attacking Qin?"

Ying Yuan was taken aback when he heard the sound.

He didn't know why the king suddenly asked himself in such a way.

Shouldn't you just let yourself lead the army?
But come to ask yourself how do you see it?

Ying Yuan frowned, but decided to speak bluntly: "The terrain of Hangu Pass is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. We only need 15 elite troops to garrison. Prepare food and supplies, and you will have no worries."

"In Da Sima's opinion, who should be appointed as the general to defend against Zhao's invasion?" Li Si interrupted and asked.

Ying Yuan frowned even tighter.

Interrupting at such a time is obviously the king's intention.

Could it be that you don't plan to send me there this time?
After thinking for a while, he tentatively said: "Go back to the king, I think three people are more suitable, Ying Yuan, Meng Tian, ​​and Li Xin."

He also added his name to it, just to tell Ying Zheng what he thought.

But in the end, what he got in exchange was such a response, "It seems that the champion and the widow think the same, it is time to train young generals.

The widow thinks that it is more appropriate to send Huan Juan as the main general and Li Xin as the deputy general to defend against Zhao's invasion. I wonder what the champion will do? "

"Since the king has made a decision, I have nothing to say to my younger brother." Ying Yuan bowed solemnly.

Unless something really endangers the country, he will not object to the things he decides under normal circumstances.

Yingzheng nodded, "Okay, the appointment of the general should have been arranged by Da Sima, but it happened suddenly. Today, the widow will be more strict and make decisions on his own. He will be appointed as the general. Three days later, he will leave from the Lishan Camp Dispatch 15 elite soldiers to Hangu Pass to resist Zhao's invasion."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Everyone stood up and bowed immediately.

After the banquet, Ying Zheng left Ying Yuan alone.

In the entire palace, there were only the two brothers. As for Li Si, he followed his order to go to Zhangtai Palace to handle today's government affairs.

"I left you here alone because I want to say a few things." Ying Zheng stepped down from the throne and came to Ying Yuan.

The latter made a bow and said, "My brother is all ears and listens."

The former nodded, "The first thing is about the handling of outsiders. There are too many people who are close to my father, and they can't be killed. A few days ago, Li Si suggested that I stop this matter. What do you think?" ?”

Ying Yuan said truthfully: "Since the distant ancestor Mu Gong, Qin's strength has been due to foreigners. If it is because of a Lu Buwei, it does not use foreigners.

He didn't understand why, at this time, Ying Zheng called Lu Buwei, but still used to call him "Xiangfu"?
"You're right."

Ying Zheng took out a pair of bamboo slips from his pocket and handed them to Ying Yuan, "Let's take a look, it's written by Li Si."

"The best song of all ages." Ying Yuan only took a few glances and felt admiration for Li Si from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, he had read this article in later generations.

"Not long ago, Zheng Guo was found out to be a South Korean spy. At first, the few people who heard about it were furious, but after calming down and thinking about it, this person still has some talents. The matter of repairing and rectifying ditches, Qin Among human beings, no one can compare."

He took the bamboo slips back, and said sadly: "If it weren't for this article, I'm afraid I'd have killed him long ago. I've thought about it for a long time. These outsiders can't be expelled, but they have to be reused. I have let Li Si in the chapter An article was planned to be written in the palace, and the name was called "Order of Seeking Talents."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Ying Yuan knew very well that all this was just a show for Ying Zheng.

It is true that he kills foreigners, but those who are close to Lu Buwei are all killed, and it is even more true that he wants to reuse foreigners.

Relying on the pursuit of foreign relatives is meaningless to balance the court, and reusing foreign guests is the foundation of a strong country.

From the very beginning, he planned to recruit talented people from all over the world for his own use.

Now, just found a reason.

The "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" can stop the mouths of Qin people.

One of the reasons why Qin people hate foreigners is because, as long as those foreigners are reused by the state, their status is higher than that of Qin people.

Most of the common people in the state of Qin are short-sighted people, and they don't understand how doing this can benefit the country.

They only feel that their status is threatened.

Therefore, they are disgusted with foreigners, and they have not noticed at all that it is precisely because of the existence of these foreigners that the originally impoverished Daqin has changed its appearance.

"The second thing is about the clan's children, you, the champion, should pay more attention." Ying Zheng said.

Ying Yuan bowed, "My brother knows."

Ying Zheng continued: "The third thing, you didn't get any rewards for this campaign, so you don't feel resentful?"

Ying Yuan pretended to be flustered and said, "Brother Wang, you are my brother's elder brother, how dare I!"

"Just dare not?" Ying Zheng asked urgently.

Ying Yuan said, "Don't dare and don't want to!"

Ying Zheng chuckled, "Back off."

Ying Yuan resigned.

When he was leaving, Li Si suddenly appeared behind Ying Zheng. It turned out that he had stayed here and had not gone to Zhangtai Palace. "Your Majesty, if you don't reward the champion, will you make him?"

The sound stops.

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the direction where Ying Yuan was leaving, and murmured: "There is nothing to seal, nothing to reward, what can I do? It is also because of this that he is not allowed to lead the army to resist the Zhao Kingdom. , In fact, this can be regarded as a kind of protection for him by the widow."

His tone was slightly melancholy.

Ying Yuan represents the clan, Mi Qi represents the relatives, and the foreign guests can finally become the sharp sword in Ying Zheng's hands.

outside the palace.

Ying Yuan sat on the horse, Suzaku led the horse, and the two returned to the Hou's mansion slowly without bringing a single follower.

"Xuan Jian's whereabouts, have you investigated?"

Ying Yuan suddenly thought of this matter and asked.

Suzaku shook his head and responded, "My lord, this Xuan Jian seems to have evaporated from the world."

Hearing this, Ying Yuan said, "Ba Linglong is the top assassin group in the world. If he wants to hide, it's really hard to find him."

Suzaku looked worried, "There is one more thing. The king seems to intend to reorganize the net recently."

"This is expected. The whole army of the Black Ice Terrace was wiped out in this campaign. The king must definitely want to regain control of an intelligence organization. Although the Luowang's vitality has been greatly damaged, but fortunately the skeleton is not broken, it only takes some time to return. to the top."

For Ying Yuan, even if Luo Wang can return to his peak state, it is nothing to fear.

Because Lu Buwei is dead.

In the entire Qin Dynasty, he will be worthy of being under one person and above ten thousand people.

Even Mi Qi, who just became the right minister, can't fight against Ying Yuan.
