Chapter 036: Shackles to Prime Minister Zuo

"Aiqing doesn't need to be so alarmed, I still have a few major things that need a month to deal with. But if you don't give up, can you go to the palace to live for a month? Fu Su said and bent down to Wei Yu.

"The old minister obeys!" Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Wei Yi had no choice but to obey orders.

"Zuo Prime Minister Li Si is involved in the rebellion, what is the opinion of the old national captain?" Meng Tian saw that the time had come, so he hurriedly asked.

"Li Si's crime should be connected to the nine clans, how can it be that at this moment, Daqin's talents are not accepted, and most of Daqin's governance plans are from Li Si's hands, and he is most familiar with them. The minister proposed to confiscate Li Si's family property, and all the clansmen were demoted to commoners, and Li Si himself was dismissed and retained, and he had to wear shackles every day to the court. The lieutenant replied.

"Shackles Prime Minister ???" Fusu, Meng Tian, and Feng Qujian exclaimed at the same time.

"Li is the current county guard of Sanchuan County, how to deal with it?" Fusu consulted the lieutenant again.

"Sanchuan County Shou Li Youke recalled Xianyang, explained the reason to him, and made a decision based on his attitude." Wei Yu seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, and replied unequivocally.

"I have my own decision tomorrow, please move to Xianyang Palace to discuss the military affairs of Great Qin." Fusu said.

"Do the Holy Commandment!" The captain, who likes military affairs the most, has a bright eye.

After dinner, everyone went to the study where the First Emperor handled affairs and sat down, and Feng Zheng was also among them at this moment.

Fu Su thought for a while, and said: "Presumably, you Aiqing have received the news that the nobles of the Six Kingdoms are ready to move, secretly running to contact and prepare to rebel, but at this moment, Guanzhong is empty, and there are no soldiers to adjust. The defenders of each pass are mainly ordinary people, and there are only a few regular soldiers. ”

When the Six Kingdoms were wiped out, the deployment of troops across the country was all made by Wei Yu, and at this moment, in the face of this situation, everyone looked at Wei Yi together. And Zhao Tuo went south to Baiyue and brought 300,000 elites, but he couldn't go north.

Wei Yi also felt that the situation was serious, so he asked rhetorically: "When the Six Kingdoms were swept away in the past, which country was the most difficult?" ”

"Zhao Guo." Feng Zai said without thinking.

Everyone looked at Wei Yu again, only to hear Wei Yu's voice suddenly increase: "Wrong! Li Xin's 200,000-strong army was defeated, and the general Wang Qian's 600,000-strong army could only be leveled in several years. ”

Everyone looked at each other, but Fusu relieved the silence: "How does Lao Aiqing think to face the current situation?" ”

"Immediately order the general Meng Tian to lead the 10,000 Jiuyuan cavalry guarding Xianyang to patrol the hometown of Chu State, and use Li Xin to lead the army stationed in the clouds of Jiuyuan in Shangjun, transfer Wang Li to lead 50,000 cavalry back to Guanzhong to wait, General Feng Zao led 20,000 Jiuyuan cavalry from Xianyang to monitor the movements of Handan Julu, and at the same time threaten the remnants of Korea." Wei Yu said panting.

"Tomorrow, General Feng will set off according to the instructions of the old national lieutenant, Meng Aiqing and the old national lieutenant will stay and discuss some things with me, and two days later according to the national lieutenant's words, they will go out to patrol the hometown of Chu State, and the rest of the people will retreat."

"Yes."

The three people in the study were silent, and after drinking herbal tea for a while, Wei Yu began to speak: "The troops in Guanzhong are empty, the old Qin people have many dead and wounded in the battle, the Jiuyuan army is the most elite Qin army at the moment, but it is necessary to guard against the Xiongnu, and there are hundreds of thousands of old Qin people in South Vietnam, how can Your Majesty recruit the army?" ”

Fusu thought for a while and said: "Shaofu Zhang Han may know about the development of the people in the world, and he will summon Zhang Han to discuss tomorrow." ”

Wei Yi Meng Tian nodded in acquiescence, and Fu Su said again: "In the past years of the Six Kingdoms, my Great Qin was able to suffer a big defeat in the Chu State, it can be seen that the Chu State is a capable person, Meng Aiqing needs to pay more attention to the officials in Chu this time to inspect the good and bad and the talented people in the mountains and fields, especially the talented people who have fallen into the old aristocracy, once they find a capable person, they can first bring it back to Xianyang to be investigated, and once they meet a young and talented person, they will also bring it back." ”

Meng Tian arched his hand and said: "The minister must serve His Majesty wholeheartedly and recommend great talents for the country." ”

Fusu turned his head and said to Wei Yu: "General Li Xin has been retired for many years, I don't know if he can go to work at the edict?" ”

Although Wei Yu is a leader in strategy and military affairs, he is not a specialty in employing people.

At this time, Meng Tian took over: "As far as the minister knows, General Li Xin has never stopped studying the art of war, which shows that he is unwilling to defeat Chu and wants to prove himself again, but Your Majesty must remind Li Xin not to take the enemy lightly again." ”

Meng Tian is well-known for his popularity, even Li Si's son Li You is a student of Meng Tian, and when he said this, his credibility was very high, and Wei Yi also nodded.

Fusu said: "Why don't you wait until you receive the news of Li Xin's appointment and then order Wang Li to be transferred?" ”

When it was Wei Yi's turn, his wisdom was reflected: "The military situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay, so you can order the summons of the messenger to bring two edicts to General Li Xin at the same time, and once Li Xin goes to work according to the edict, he will go to Jiuyuan with Li Xin to summon the young general Wang Li." ”

"That's a brilliant plan!" Fusu and Meng Tian praised together.

Fusu said again: "The thief Zhao Gao is the inner servant, and there are many remaining parties in the palace, can the two Aiqing have a good plan to deal with it?" ”

The two thought for a long time, and Meng Tian said slowly: "You can order the emperor's inner servants to go to Afang Palace to serve the palace people of the six countries, and the Praetorian Guards will be replaced by His Majesty's personal army in the Jiuyuan Army, and the maids will be sent back to their hometowns, and Your Majesty will reorganize the harem." Wei Yu didn't have a good plan, so he acquiesced, and Fusu dispersed if he couldn't see the essentials.

The next day, everyone was surprised to find that Wei Yu, who had not been seen for more than ten years, actually appeared in the court. Officials of all sizes reported on the movements of the whole country, and what was particularly shocking was that the hometown of Zhao actually began to erect anti-flags, and the nobles led by Li Mu's grandson Li Zuoche organized hundreds of thousands of rebels to support the king of Zhao in Julu.

In addition, the Jiangdong region of the hometown of the Chu State also frequently found many signs of rebellion of the horses, and in addition, there were signs of surging in the homeland of the Wei State and the Korean homeland.

Fusu first issued three orders: first, all the attendants of Xianyang Palace went to Afang Palace to serve the late people of the Six Kingdoms Palace; 2. In the Jiuyuan Army in Xianyang, the 5,000 personal soldiers of Fusu replaced the original Praetorian Guard to defend Xianyang Palace; 3. General Feng Zao can lead 20,000 Jiuyuan cavalry to Shangdang to set up defenses, pay close attention to the movements of Li Zuoche's rebels, and do not attack without an edict.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Fusu left Meng Tian, Wei Yi, Zhang Han, Li Si, and Luo Chang. In the study, Li Si knelt in front of the Fusu case and kowtowed: "The guilty minister cannot atone for his sins after death, and I ask Your Majesty to give the minister the punishment of car splitting." ”

Fu Su said fiercely: "Li Si should be punished for the crime of being a thief of the Nine Clans, but I remember that you are a great talent for governing the country, and I still need to use your talents, but you are dead from today." ”

Li Si was grateful, and bowed to the ground and did not dare to speak. Then Fusu said yesterday's plan of Wei Yu, changed the shackles to the court to serve in the study with shackles, removed all positions and titles, and all the clansmen were assigned to repair straight roads for the Qin State.

Li Si came back from the ghost gate, was surprised, and hurriedly thanked the holy grace. Next, Fusu raised yesterday's conscription issue to Shaofu Zhanghan.

Zhang Han said: "At present, the tax in Guanzhong has been sharply reduced, all because there are no strong men to participate in farming, I hope Your Majesty will not levy the labor force of the common people, otherwise Guanzhong will be unstable and threaten my Great Qin Sheji." ”

Fusu was helpless: "Then according to the will of all Aiqing, can there be a strategy to replenish the army?" ”

Li Si, who was wearing shackles, spoke: "Can the Jiuyuan army mobilize another 100,000 to the south?" ”

Meng Tian immediately analyzed: "The Huns have not gone south for more than ten years, and the scouts have recently discovered that they have frequently sent spies to the south to investigate. The minister estimated that the north was beginning to be unstable, and the transfer of 50,000 Jiuyuan troops was already the limit of defense. ”

Everyone knew that 50,000 people were far from enough, Fu Su turned his head blankly to look at the other ministers, and only listened to Wei Yu's slow words: "You can transfer half of the defenders from the passes in Lao Qin's hometown to form a new army to deal with the crisis." ”

At this time, Fusu began to strongly oppose: "At present, the people in the world are floating and the people are unstable, once the people in Guanzhong do not feel safe, Daqin will fall in an instant, and the defenders of the various passes must not be transferred." ”

Zhang Han, who had been thinking for a long time, began to speak: "The minister dares to ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

Fusu was puzzled: "What is Aiqing's sin?" ”

Zhang Han said: "The minister has a proposal to replenish the army, but it is not in line with the Qin law, please forgive your majesty." ”

Everyone was looking forward to it, and Fu Su said: "But let's hear it, I will give you innocence." ”

Zhang Han straightened up and said, "There are nearly one million prisoners and slaves in Lishan, and there are many people who are young and strong, and they can be incorporated into the army. ”

As soon as these words came out, Meng Tian stood up and said: "This strategy is extremely dangerous! Once a convict defects, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Wei Yi originally lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes as if he was in a fixed position, but after hearing the news, he instantly woke up with a big mouth, and shouted four words with a red face: "It's against the way of the soldiers!" ”

Fusu was also shocked, but as the emperor wanted to have prestige, he just sat down and watched the reaction of everyone, and found that Li Si, who was wearing shackles at the end of the seat, was not much shocked, so he named and said: "What does Li Si think?" ”

Li Si knelt down in the middle and said slowly: "The sinner thinks that Zhang Shaofu's strategy is feasible, first of all, Shang Jun has issued a decree to abolish slavery, and at this moment, the release of slave children can train into a new army, and the Shaofu Lord said that the people who cultivate in Guanzhong will reduce the lack of taxes, and it is just a good idea to let the children of slaves who cannot fight be arranged to farm, so as to show the emperor's grace." As for the prisoners, most of them were criminals, and there were many of them who were physically strong, and they could become an army without much training, so they could be trained by the Shaofu Lord. In addition, General Feng Zao's 20,000 Jiuyuan army was sent to supervise the departure to Julu to exterminate Li Zuoche's rebels. ”

Lis's analysis left everyone pondering.

After a long time, Fusu raised his head and said: "Just follow Li Si's strategy, arrange the slaves who meet the conditions for conquest to the Lantian camp to intensify training, and send the prisoners to Julu in the near future after the army is formed, and exterminate the rebels." ”

Luo Chang was already the commander of the CRRC government at this time, so he was naturally responsible for drafting the edict and decree. This Jinyi Wei secret envoy from the Ming Dynasty was full of wealth, and he had a lot of research on ancient characters, and the writing of the Qin Dynasty was handy, and he quickly prepared a holy decree and handed it over to Fusu (Nine Bears).
