Wei Wuhou

Chapter 783 Qin's Choice

When Wei State concentrated its main energy in the direction of Qi State, Qin State, which was plundered by Wei Jun, still did not dare to be careless.

Even though Duke Qin Yingxun was plagued by illness, after Wei Jun marched into Zheng State and the Three Kingdoms War broke out between Wei, Zheng, and Qi, he still summoned his ministers to discuss matters before his sick bed.

Ying Xun's condition is very bad recently. Qin Guo was defeated by him, which not only made him suffer from illness, but also suffered great mental pressure.

Ying Xun was even more shocked by the defeat of the Wu Kingdom in the south. The world made him more and more incomprehensible.

In the past, it was common for countries to go to war and the country to be destroyed, but when has a big country been threatened with annihilation.

The changes of the times made it difficult for Ying Xun to accept and adapt, so that he had a strong sense of insecurity.

Sitting on the couch, Ying Xun looked at the courtiers standing bowed, first he asked: "Recently, the Wei people have not made any noise on both sides of the Wei River?"

This is the most critical issue for Ying Xun. Although he is asked to report these things to him every day, he still has to discuss them with the courtiers.

It was Ying Ju who was in charge of defending the Wei army, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Wei River is guarded by our army, so you don't have to worry about it!"

But in fact, only Yingzheng can understand the sadness in it.Although the people of Wei didn't make any big moves, they continued to harass them on a small scale, which was very annoying.

Ying Xun nodded, and then said: "My son is doing something, don't worry!"

This is an affirmation of Yingju. Ying Xun has already designated Yingju as his successor, so he has to be supported by the courtiers. Isn't his praise very beneficial to Yingju?

Afterwards, Ying Xun mentioned the important matter this time, and only heard him say: "Recently, the army of Wei State entered Zheng State directly, I think you all know it!"

The courtiers all nodded in agreement, and then Ying Xun said: "Tell me, what is the result of this battle?"

What was the result... Hearing this question, all the courtiers had only one answer, either Wei Guosheng or Qi Guosheng.

In the eyes of most people, the Wei people are more likely to win, because they have already suffered from Wei phobia.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ying Xun said, "Since Tian Yuwen succeeded to the throne of Qi State, the government office has been alienated from the aristocratic family. The power of a country has been consumed by [-]%, and there has been little achievement for many years!"

"In this battle, in the opinion of few people, Qi State is afraid to be defeated again!" Ying Xun said very sadly.

At the beginning, Qi and Qin were old partners who fought against Wei, and they had cooperated closely for many years, so that Wei had no chance to go south.

Thinking of that time, Ying Xun missed it very much, which also made him hate Tian Yuwen even more.

Tian Yuwen was pushed to the top by the Duke of Qi back then, not only lacking in prestige, but also immature, thinking of subduing the domestic aristocratic family, in Ying Xun's view, it is extremely stupid.

But Tian Yuwen did such a stupid thing!

Ying Ju also agreed with it at this time: "Your Highness has learned from you, Tian Yuwen does things with foresight and foresight, and if his will is not strong, he will not be able to accomplish great things!"

But at this time, Ying Xun's purpose was not to discuss the affairs of Qi State, so he changed the subject and said: "This year, Qin State also suffered a big defeat, and I am also wondering why there is such a big defeat!"

"Is the Wei people too powerful? Or is it that our army is weak, lacks armor, lacks weapons, and lacks food and grass?"

The king's questioning of crimes scared the ministers in the room enough, so they all knelt down and said: "Your servant is guilty!"

The monarch is definitely not guilty, so the crime of causing the failure of the war can only be borne by these courtiers.

And the confession was not just talk, these ministers were still a little worried that the monarch would use this matter to deal with some of them.

"What the widow said just now is the reason for our defeat, but the widow thinks it's more than that!" Ying Xun said calmly.

The ministers were even more frightened at this time, so they heard them say in unison: "I am so stupid, please teach me!"

And Ying Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was very puzzled at this moment, but he knew that something big must happen.

At this time, I heard Ying Xun say: "I know that, although you people are kneeling in front of the widow, you have divided into two camps in private, and you are constantly attacking each other!"

Speaking of this, Ying Xun's calm tone disappeared, and then he heard him ask with anger: "Even in the war with Wei, you don't forget the internal fighting. You say... are you responsible?"

These words can make the ministers in the room tremble with fright, forming a clique for personal gain and causing a disastrous defeat in the war, which is a crime that no one can afford.

Wei Changtian died on the battlefield, and no one has taken responsibility for the defeat until now... Could it be that the monarch wants to kill people to vent his anger at this time?
All the people present here knew that the crime could not be evaded, so they kowtowed and said: "Your servant is guilty!"

Including Yingju himself, after hearing what his old father said, he was also in suspense. After all, he also participated in a lot of party struggles at the beginning.

But in fact, Ying Xun had no intention of killing people at this time, and only heard him say: "You are guilty, ten times of death is not enough!"

"The state of Qin is not just for the widows. If you are ignoring the overall situation of the country for your own self-interest, you will also be buried with Qin's defeat!" Ying Xun was almost pointing at these people, and it was also his heartfelt voice at this time.

The purpose of his saying these words is not to punish someone, but to remind these people that their destiny is one with Qin.

After being said by the monarch, the hearts of all the people present fell back to their stomachs, but at this time, everyone also expressed regret.

At this time, the prime minister cried even more: "The minister is guilty!"

Looking at the performances of these people below, some of them are sincerely repentant, but there are also people who are acting on the spot.

Ying Xun didn't want to make a clear distinction, but only listened to him sigh: "Tian Yuwen and the family are separated, and there will be a disaster of defeat... and if our Qin State is not in harmony, the country will be destroyed!"

At this time, it was time to express his determination, and the prime minister said impassionedly: "I will not dare to make this mistake again, and I will do my best to protect the Qin State, the country, the country, and the country!"

The following officials also agreed one by one. After the king's beating this time, there will be no more quarrels between them in a short time.

Ying Xun nodded, he could only think about the good, and hoped that after the people below changed their ways, Qin would be able to survive this difficulty.

After finishing this matter, Ying Xun still had a second major matter to announce, and he said solemnly: "I think twice, to protect the safety of the society, I want to temporarily move the imperial court to Yongdu!"

This is definitely another big bomb. Does the monarch want to move the capital?
When he had doubts in his mind, the Prime Minister immediately asked, "Your Majesty, you want to move the capital?"

The so-called Yongdu is also the western capital of the Qin State, the capital of the Qin State before its prosperity.

Hearing this question, Ying Xun replied: "It's just that the imperial court was moved to Yongdu, and the Great Qin still uses Xianyang as its capital!"

Maybe it was to persuade the subordinates, so Ying Xun continued: "Now that the Wei army is attacking Weishui, and the imperial court is stationed in Xianyang, there is a danger of overthrow, and I have no choice but to make this move!"

Among the officials below, those in the Eastern Group must be opposed to moving the capital, because moving the capital would mean giving up Fufeng Northland, which they cannot accept, because their fiefdoms are all in these places.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Ying Xun said that Xianyang is still the capital, and the purpose is to stabilize these people.

And after Ying Xun's beating just now, those who wanted to oppose couldn't say anything at this time.

And Ying Zheng, who was standing aside, was also shocked in his heart, that such a major event as moving the capital did not show a little bit of wind.

In fact, Ying Ju himself is against moving the capital, because it means Qin's strategic retreat, which is a great blow to the morale of the frontline.

But what Ying Xun said is also very reasonable. Xianyang, which has lost its strategic depth, is actually no longer suitable as a capital.

No one objected at this time, but Ying Xun knew that these people must have complaints in their hearts, but he couldn't convince everyone because he couldn't satisfy everyone's interests.

After sighing, Ying Xun continued: "It will be a matter of time before Qi is defeated, and Zheng will be wiped out by Wei Wuji. If we, Qin, do not make preparations early, I am afraid that we will really be powerless!"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled. According to Wei Wuji's ruthlessness, it is really possible to destroy Zheng Guo.

If the state of Zheng is destroyed again, there will be no small country to the west of the state of Wei to act as a buffer, and the state of Qin will become the most suitable target for attack.

At this time, Yingju felt quite sad in his heart, how could it be hard to keep a good Daqin forever!
