Mu Mu Qin Palace, night leisurely.

It was late at night, and Emperor Qin, who was buried in the first case, did not rest, and his face was still a little sad.

The world is so big, there are always a few things that will give this emperor a headache. And the things recorded on the bamboo slips on the table mountain on his desk made even this supreme who controlled the world feel troublesome.

How many people are needed to attack Baiyue?

Shushan has been decided, the granary of the empire and the land of Bashu, the backyard of the backyard, has finally eliminated the potential trouble, and the problem of attacking Baiyue has also been put on the agenda.

Although the land of Baiyue is vast, it is still not at the same level compared with any of the six countries in Guanzhong.

Barbarians, why do the people of China always call their neighbors Rongyi Diman? There is naturally an element of contempt in this, but there is a big reason, that is, this group of neighbors, whether it is cultural, economic or otherwise, is not comparable to China on the same level.

It is the Xiongnu of later generations, and the most proud is the military strength. The Huns, relying on excellent war horses, came and went like the wind, and took advantage of skirmishes. However, once it rose to the level of annihilation, when the Han Empire, which inherited the mantle of the Qin Empire, was awakened, the power that erupted was so powerful that even the Xiongnu could not match it.

The Xiongnu were hung and beaten all the way from the edge of the Great Wall, lost a series of strategic places in Hetao, Hexi, and the Western Regions, and finally crossed the desert and hid in Mobei, or were chased by Wei Qinghuo to pick up the ancestral grave.

Chase the dead and chase the north, and seal the wolf Juxu. This is sour, and Yi Zhi obliquely says that it is really delicious.

The Qin Empire differed from the Han Empire in that it had a more sophisticated military system than the Han Empire, and had a system of military meritorious lords named fields and mansions that were born specifically for this system.

The Six Kingdoms of Kwantung have always despised the Qin people, who only knew how to plough and fight, and did not know etiquette. But there is no doubt that the strong combat effectiveness of the Qin army has been best reflected in the process of the Qin Emperor's unification of the six countries.

It can be said that the current Qin Empire is a war beast that is even more ferocious than the Han Empire. Emperor Qin never worried that Baiyue's gang of Yiren, who couldn't even repair the city in the wilderness, would be the opponent of the imperial army.

However, the question is, how should the empire rule after conquering the land of Baiyue? Baiyue is different from the six countries of Kanto. Although the six kingdoms of Kwantung despised the Qin State in terms of discipline, after all, everyone was the same Zhuxia, whether it was culture or blood, they were naturally close, and there was no major problem in ruling legally. However, Baiyue is different, although they are called the descendants of the Yue King, but both customs and culture are very different from Zhuxia. Although their land is vast, it is pure green and has not been developed at all. The Qin State conquered the Six Kingdoms of the Kwantung Kingdom, and all the city facilities could be used directly, but after the defeat of Baiyue, there was still wasteland except for wasteland.

Therefore, the main task of the imperial army in the south was not to fight, but to reclaim the famine. Since it is a reclamation, then the number of people is indispensable. But how much is appropriate? Importantly, in order to rule the land of Baiyue, the empire must invest huge manpower and material resources. Today's world seems to be stable, but the undercurrent is turbulent, and the Hu people in the north are also invading from time to time. Under the internal and external troubles, Emperor Qin was exhausted every step he took, and he was deeply afraid of making mistakes.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." At this time, the chamberlain quietly walked to the door of the temple and said.

"Yingziyi?" Emperor Qin was stunned for a moment and said, "Take it." ”

The chamberlain presented Ying Ziyi's recital, and Brother Zheng opened it and smiled: "Ying Ziyi wants to marry Li Si's daughter?" ”

At this moment, the feeling in Brother Zheng's heart is like this: You don't know how many gray hairs I have worked hard for national affairs, but you kid is thinking about women's affairs!

Wait, Brother Zheng suddenly had an idea in his heart.

In the middle of the night, the Red Dragon Scroll, which represented the highest military intelligence of the empire, was escorted by the Golden Fire Cavalry, out of the city gate of Xianyang, and marched towards Shuzhong through the galloping road that connected the Guanzhong in all directions.

When Ying Ziyi received Brother Zheng's reply in Jinguan City, the feeling in her heart was like this: You are cheating your son!

Brother Zheng agreed to Ying Ziyi's request, but the proviso was like this.

Although the world is fixed, it is restless. I have been worried all night, panicked, and afraid of falling into the name of the summer. Baiyue is the descendant of the king of Yue, and the blood of Zhuxia is lonely and hangs outside. The majestic Great Qin should be restored to China.

Ying Ziyi understands it this way, you kid wants to marry a daughter-in-law, okay, help Lao Tzu first and I will destroy Baiyue first.

When Ying Ziyi handed Brother Zheng's reply to Chen Ping on the side, he frowned and said, "His Majesty the Emperor seems to be joking, but it is not a test for His Highness. But my subordinates feel that my Daqin is too light for the first battle of Baiyue. ”

Ying Ziyi looked at Chen Ping, and there was a hint of worry on this face, which was more beautiful than a woman, at the moment. The thoughts and concerns of this peerless wise man are much more far-reaching than ordinary people.

Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms and slaughtered millions of soldiers. Under this bloody figure, it is not surprising that the armies of the six Kwantung countries are all straw bales and can only be slaughtered by others. On the contrary, after hundreds of years of war, starting from the loss of Zhou Tianzi, after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were more than 100 vassal states in the past, and only these seven dominated the world. The armies of the six countries, from generals to non-commissioned officers, are at a fairly high level in terms of military literacy and tactical training.

The army of the six countries is very strong, and it is the army of Yan State, which is the weakest in China, and it is also more than a thousand miles in the north and east of Hu, and Korea in the east. If there is a rare famous general to cooperate with it, such as Li Mu, even the Hu people such as the Xiongnu, they will not dare to go south to herd horses for more than ten years.

But the Six Kingdoms eventually perished. This is not because their military is not strong, nor is it because their officials and soldiers are not loyal enough, nor is it because their country lacks talent. It is because the Six Kingdoms are strong, and the Qin State is stronger, which is the reason why Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms.

Yes! After the fall of the Six Kingdoms, their powerful army had already been wiped out, and the remaining unwilling people could only flee into the mountains and forests, and survived for a long time. The Qin army has been invincible in the world for too long, how can the little Baiyue be in his eyes?

But Ying Ziyi knew that the Qin army would suffer a big loss when it attacked Baiyue for the first time. But at the moment, no one would think that the Qin army would be defeated, not even the Qin Emperor.

"Tell me what you think?" Ying Ziyi asked.

"Yes! Your Highness. The subordinates thought that it was difficult to attack Baiyue, and it was difficult to attack their hearts. His subordinates have been to the land of Baiyue, and they know that the Yue people are fierce, and there is a miasma of smoke and epidemics. For hundreds of years, the Yue people have long adapted to the bad environment there, but our Qin soldiers are not. Without adequate preparation, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince me. ”

"Indeed." Ying Ziyi nodded, the Yue people are good at guerrilla warfare, but the Qin army is different, which is also the reason why the Qin army failed to attack Baiyue for the first time

"But money can be made to God." Ying Ziyi smiled and said.

"What does Your Highness mean?"

……

Xianyang City, Li Si Mansion.

Li Sigui is the prime minister of Qin, and although he is not the one with the highest official position in the empire, he is the one who is most trusted by the Qin Emperor. Before Emperor Qin was in power, Li Si entered the palace to teach Emperor Qin through Lü Buwei's relationship, and Jane was in the heart of the emperor, which was also an important reason why Li Si was promoted from a guest secretary to the prime minister of Qin.

The late autumn wind blew through the courtyard, bringing a few fallen leaves yellow. The windows of the study rustled, the candles flickered, and Li Si felt a hint of coldness. He got up and closed the window, standing still in front of the bookcase.

Li Si took out a bamboo slip from the bookcase, and at the top of the page, three characters Han Feizi were recorded in Korean characters.

Looking at the masterpieces of his former classmates, Li Si felt an inexplicable trance in his heart.

Li Si can be prime minister under an emperor like Emperor Qin, so it is needless to say that he can do it, and the most important thing is that Li Si is very observant. Because Li Si knew Emperor Qin's character and ability very well, this eloquent emperor was well versed in the way of legalism, and his ability to control his courtiers was incomparable. Emperor Qin didn't like his courtiers to be clever and do things against his will, including the battle for succession. Li Si knew Emperor Qin very well, and naturally understood that if he wanted to sit firmly in the position of prime minister of Qin, it was best not to express his opinions on the position of prince.

However, even if Li Si sticks to his duty, he has to make choices about some things. The prince of Qin, the future heir of the empire, is not only related to the honor and disgrace of thousands of people, but also related to the survival of the Taoist system.

The Prince of Qin was not as close to the Legalists as the previous kings of the Qin State, which was something that made every Legalist extremely frightened in their hearts. Once the palace changes, where is the future of the Legalists?

It stands to reason that Emperor Qin is much younger than Li Si, and Li Si will die in front of Emperor Qin, so he doesn't have to worry about these things at all. However, in recent years, Qin Huang's body has begun to deteriorate, while Li Si's body is leveraged.

The physical records of Emperor Qin's body are all top secrets, and they are firmly locked in the deep palace, guarded by extremely strong guards. Anyone who wants to peep will end up extremely miserable.

Li Si naturally wouldn't know about Emperor Qin's physical changes in this way.

Maybe even Emperor Qin himself doesn't know how well this guest secretary of Chu State, who has been by his side since he was a teenager, knows him well?

Thinking of the scene of meeting Emperor Qin a few days ago, Li Si felt a pang of uneasiness in his heart. Emperor Qin was in the prime of life, but he was in the color of decay, and he was already out of breath when he wielded a heavy sword left by King Qin Zhaoxiang.

You must know that Emperor Qin's grandfather, King Qin Zhaoxiang, when he was seventy years old, it was easy to control this sword.

Li Si put down Han Feizi, who had already seen it countless times in his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. If Emperor Qin wants to control this world, how can it be an easy task. Emperor Qin set a rule that he had to review one hundred and twenty catties of folds every day, and he should not be too tired, but with Emperor Qin's temperament, how could he really only deal with these things.

How many things are going on in the world? And how many enemies are there in the Empire? The palace of the Qin Emperor is as night as day all the year round, and the Qin Emperor is even more sleepy at night.

After accumulating all year round, even if there are more good medicines and supplements, but if the root is damaged, how can Emperor Qin's body be good?

This is also the reason why Li Si is worried, if Emperor Qin dies and Prince Qin succeeds to the throne, how should he Li Si deal with himself? How should Legalists deal with themselves?

"Daddy."

A voice as delicate as glutinous sugar came, interrupting Li Si's thoughts.

A smile appeared on Li Si's face, and he watched his daughter walk in with a bowl of ginseng soup.

"Daddy, it's getting late, it's time for you to rest."

"Daddy knows, Yu'er also rested earlier!" Li Si took the ginseng soup from his daughter's hand and said with a smile.

In Li Si's eyes, his daughter is very well-behaved and will never do anything against his will. But now, Li Yu is twisting and pulling the corners of his green Luo skirt, wanting to speak and stopping.

"What's wrong? Yu'er. Li Si asked curiously

"My daughter heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to ask her father to marry her... Marry a daughter. Li Yu said shyly.

"Would you like to, then?" Since ancient times, where can the children themselves be involved in marriage? Especially the descendants of the high-ranking lords, all of them must follow the arrangement of family interests. The reason why Li Si asked this was because he saw a hint of strangeness in his daughter's expression.

I remembered that day, on the street, the handsome man surrounded by 10,000 people, as if the gods had descended to earth. A hint of blush appeared on Li Yu's face, and he nodded slightly.

Which girl is not pregnant with spring, thinking that the man in her dream suddenly wants to ask her for marriage one day, and the things that only exist in this dream suddenly become a reality. The girl ignored her reserve and took the opportunity to send ginseng soup to her father to inquire about the news.

"Alas!" There was a sigh in Lis's heart. If his daughter really married the Prince of Qin, it might be a good thing, but Emperor Qin's attitude made Li Si suspicious.

"Did you know that His Majesty the Emperor agreed?"

"Really!"

"But Your Majesty has one condition, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must pacify Baiyue before he can marry you."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can even capture the powerful Chu State, is Baiyue stronger than the Chu State?"

Li Si shook his head, his daughter was still too naïve. Growing up in the depths of the boudoir, she has studied the classics of a hundred schools since she was a child, although she is smart, but her knowledge is lacking.

"Although Baiyue is not as strong as the Chu State, it is more tricky than the Chu State." (To be continued.) )
