Chapter 45: Three Edicts

The court was silent, Ying Zheng glanced down for a week, and saw that no one was willing to discuss his opinion first, so he opened his mouth to Shang Ying: "What is the opinion of the cabinet?"

Shang Ying said: "King Qiqi, the old minister and several colleagues in the cabinet discussed, and agreed that the Qiang and Di clans should be set up as two counties, and Daqin officials should be sent to serve in important positions such as county guards and county lieutenants, and 100,000 troops should also be sent to garrison the two counties!"

Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers and said, "Do you have different opinions?"

The old Tingwei of the Tingwei Mansion arched his hand and said: "King Qiqi, what Shang Shoufu said is reasonable, the two clans of Qiang and Di, the barbarians, if you want to make them return to Qin sincerely, it may take decades, for today's plan, set up two counties, implement the Qin law, and then use the army to deter, it will be fine." ”

After listening to what Lao Tingwei said, Yingzheng lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "What Lao Tingwei said is reasonable, since the Qiang and Di clans are willing to return to Qin, they are the people of Great Qin, and they should implement the laws of Qin and abide by the laws of Qin. ”

As soon as Ying Zheng's words fell, some ministers in the palace naturally heard that Ying Zheng had his own opinions, and they all guessed in their hearts whether their plan would be what King Xiao Qin wanted on the throne.

At this time, a minister said: "Qi my king, the first assistant and the old court lieutenant said that the ministers also agreed, but, as soon as the Qiang and Qi clans returned to Qin, the court sent Guanzhong Qin people to serve as Taishou County Lieutenant and other important positions, and the ministers were worried that it would cause a backlash from the two clans, so please be cautious about my king." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shang Ying and several other cabinet ministers also thought about it seriously, and in this case, they naturally also considered it, and for the stability of the Qin State, they were all excluded by them one by one, and came up with the most suitable plan for the Qin State to control the Qiang and Di clans as quickly as possible.

Ying Zheng was still expressionless, and said calmly: "This is reasonable, that minister still has a plan or different opinions, today's court discussion, you can speak freely, don't worry too much." ”

Zhang Yiyu said: "My king, what Dr. Li said, the cabinet is also considering, the original territory of the Qiang and Di tribes was set up as two counties, which is a foregone conclusion, only the candidates for important positions such as the two counties are the people who use the Qiang and Di clans or the Qin people in Guanzhong, and the three of us are also unable to argue, considering that the two counties are too remote, if the people of the Qiang and Di clans are used as the Taishou, the county Cheng, and the county lieutenant. If they collude with each other and draw the land to rule, the soldiers who have died in battle for months and the manpower and material resources spent will be meaningless. ”

The ministers of the DPRK and China were silent, what Zhang Yi said was the joint of the problem, and compared with the harm of the backlash brought by the Qin people in Guanzhong and the harm caused by the people of the Qiang and Di clans, it was naturally the safest to use the Qin people in Guanzhong.

Some ministers also thought that they could appoint the positions in charge of government affairs, such as Taishou and Juncheng, to the people of the Qiang and Di clans, and let the Qin people in Guanzhong hold the post of county lieutenant in charge of county security and security.

Shang Ying and they also studied this method, and they finally rejected it, because even if the old Qin people were called to serve as county lieutenants, the county guards and county guards would still use a group of old Qin people from Guanzhong.

If a person from the Qiang and Di tribes is used as a county guard, then does this county lieutenant still have real power? What is the difference between using a person from the Qiang and Di tribes as a county lieutenant?

But if the old Qin people are called as county guards, the problem will come out again, in addition to the language barrier and other problems, there is also the fact that the people of the Qiang and Di tribes may not be convinced, and if they are not satisfied, there will naturally be friction, and then it will evolve into a contradiction, become a confrontation between the new and old Qin people, and eventually become enemies.

Therefore, the position of a county lieutenant is not so important.

A minister said: "May I ask Shoufu, even if you use people from the Qiang and Di clans as important positions such as Taishou, and the garrison army is sent from Guanzhong, you don't have to worry about the situation of drawing land and ruling the land?"

"Let me answer this question, if the imperial court sends 100,000 troops to garrison two counties, the military rations of the 100,000 troops will be supplied by the two counties, and if someone has bad intentions and does something in the military rations, the 100,000 army will be wiped out in an instant. However, if grain is transported from Guanzhong, in a few years, the Qin State will not use the Six Kingdoms to attack, and it will also bring about its own destruction. Wei Ran, who was sitting on the right side with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke.

The minister touched the cold sweat on his forehead, saluted Ying Zheng, and then bowed to Shang Ying Wei Ran, and then said: "It's the lower official who is not thoughtful, thank you for the pavilion master's solution." ”

Fortunately, this person didn't say a word that we could be wary of, Wei Ran also nodded with satisfaction, closed his eyes and went out of the world.

Later, a few people expressed their opinions, and Ying Zheng also neither agreed nor opposed.

Seeing that there were no more ministers to express their opinions, Ying Zheng saw that Fan Li, the head of the household department, had never said a word from the previous dynasty to the present, and he also wanted to see what better plan this Shang Sheng, who helped the king of Yue Goujian, to make a plan and restore the country, and asked: "What does the head of the household department think about this matter?"

Fan Li arched his hand and said: "The king has made a holy decision, and the ministers will not dare to show off in front of the king." ”

"Lone just wants to hear Fan Shangshu's opinion. ”

Ying Zheng's voice came from above, and there was a hint of domineering in his tone that could not be opposed.

Many ministers in the hall trembled when they heard this, and raised their heads slightly to peek at Ying Zheng, who was still the same unfazed face, only those deep eyes were like the abyss of hell, not low.

There was something terrifying in the abyss that could devour all life and souls.

The peeping ministers hurriedly withdrew their gaze and buried their heads lower.

Fan Li was also taken aback, and respectfully arched his hand and said: "My king, in the opinion of the foolish ministers, the people of the Taishou still use the people of the Qiang and Di tribes, the Taishou of the county where the Qiang people are located, the county lieutenant, and the county Cheng are held by people from the Di nationality, and the Taishou of the county where the Di people are located are held by people from the Qiang tribe. With another 100,000 troops garrisoned, it should be fine. ”

When all the ministers heard that this method was feasible, they all echoed one by one: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

The minister seconded. ”

The ministers seconded. ”

Even Shang Ying and several people thought it was feasible and also seconded it.

Seeing that the ministers of the DPRK and China all agreed, Ying Zheng said slowly: "Since all the ministers have said to express their own opinions, or agree with the opinions of their colleagues. Then, Lonely, let's talk about Lone's opinion. ”

Seeing that Yingzheng did not issue an edict, but had holy words, the ministers all tidied up their clothes, solemn faces, and waited quietly.

Ying Zheng continued: "What you said, in Gu's opinion, there is only one point, how to make the Qiang and Di clans willingly admit that they are the people of Great Qin-Qin people. ”

"I want to tell you that since you have chosen to enter Qin and become a Qin person, you must obey the laws of my Qin country and follow the edict of this king. On the contrary, the enemies of the Qin State have death but no life. ”

Ying Zheng's words were sonorous and powerful, extremely domineering, but murderous.

After finishing speaking, Ying Zheng stood up, although it was not very tall, but in the eyes of the ministers at this time, it was like a towering mountain, majestic and majestic.

Seeing Yingzheng get up, the ministers also hurriedly got up.

Ying Zheng's voice remembered again: "Edict: First, the location of the Qiang and Di tribes is divided into two counties, the Qiang people are Xichuan County, and the land of the Di people is the southwest county. Jiang Han served as the Taishou of Xichuan County, and the Taishou of Southwest County was served by Di Zhe. Second, the 100,000 troops stationed in the two counties, 60,000 from the Di nationality, 40,000 from the Qiang nationality, the commander of the 100,000 army and Jiang Wu of the Di nationality, and Jiang Wen of the Qiang nationality served as the deputy general. ”

"Third, order the two counties to guard Jiang Han and Di Zhe to come to Xianyang within a month to accept the post of Taishou. The three edicts were handed over to the cabinet to be written and sent to the two counties, and there should be no mistakes. Shang Jun, is there a problem?"

The ministers were shocked, the last two of Yingzheng's three orders were far from the results they discussed.

However, no one dared to come out to oppose it at this time, and the eyes of many ministers were intertwined with Shang Ying's body, and Shang Ying couldn't believe that Ying Zheng would issue such an edict at this time.

At this moment, Shang Ying felt that there was an invisible mountain on his body, which overwhelmed him.

In the Chaotian Palace, it was so quiet that the needles could be heard, one breath, two breaths, three breaths, many dense small water droplets appeared on Shang Ying's forehead, and the white-haired Shang Ying saluted respectfully: "The cabinet obeys the king's order." ”

"Retreat. ”

Ying Zheng shouted lightly, turned to leave, Zheng He looked at the ministers who bowed their heads and were silent, followed by them, and left the main hall.

"Congratulations to the king!"

The voices of the ministers rang out.

Shang Ying felt the mountain pressing on him at this time, and he didn't know when it dissipated, his body was light, and he almost fell.

The ministers of the court and the central government left the Chaotian Palace, did not dare to make noise, did not dare to talk, left the palace, sat in the car home, and thought about everything that happened in the court.

Soon, at the notice boards in various places in Xianyang City, sergeants came to post notices.

Seeing this, the people of Xianyang crowded onlookers, and the literate people read the major events on the notice to everyone to know.

"Article 1: In mid-October last year, Sima Coo, rushed to Longxi County, pursued and killed the Huns, and fought against 100,000 Huns with 150,000 Huns, all of which were wiped out, with less than 20,000 casualties on his side. ”

"What? How did you kill 150,000 enemies and have less than 20,000 casualties?"

"yes, that's outrageous, isn't it?"

"It can't be fake, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, since the court has posted a notice, how can it be fake, and if you want to talk nonsense, tell the guards, let you go to prison for a few days. ”

An old man scolded.

"Yes, how can it be fake, the imperial court will not use this kind of hand to deceive me and others. ”

Someone chimed in.

"Okay, okay, this brother, you keep reading, there is something big in the future. ”

"Yes, yes, yes"

Everyone was quiet, and the back was to say: General Sima Cuo led the army to defeat the Qiang people, and the Qiang people and the Di people returned to Qin. ”

"This, this, this ......"

"No wonder there has been no news for months, it turns out ......"

"Yes, the imperial court is too good at hiding, and it is only now announced. ”

"What's next?"

The middle-aged man continued: "Later, it is said that the Qiang and Di tribes are divided into Xichuan County and Southwest County, and my Qin State will have two more counties. In the end, it was said that the king would marry the Yue family and marry the Yue princess as a concubine. No, that's all. ”

"It's really a big deal, since the king ascended the throne, first the organ plow, and then the 150,000 army of the Huns, subdued the Qiang and Di tribes, and set up two counties. No matter what it is, it can be passed down through the ages. ”

"Yes, who can compare the power of a king. ”

"The king is only ten years old this year. ”

"Don't care about the king's age, that will make countless people jump into the river!"

"Haha......" The crowd laughed constantly.

This scene appeared all over Xianyang City, and then all the counties and counties of the Qin State.
