Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji met Su Zheng.

Overjoyed, Ying Zheng said: "What Taifu said is right, Zheng'er will definitely not live up to Taifu's expectations!" I don't know why Taifu asked Zheng'er and his mother to come here? ”

Su Zai took a few steps forward, looked at the entire map, and said, "The minister is here for Teng's Shan Yu." ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Zheng'er guessed that Shan Yu would inevitably go to find Taifu, I don't know, that beautiful Shan Yu can convince Taifu?" ”

Su Zheng knew that Ying Zheng was laughing.

Without waiting for Su Zheng to speak, Zhao Ji spoke: "Zheng'er, how can you be so rude to Taifu and not admit your mistake to Taifu." ”

Ying Zheng said again and again: "Taifu, it's Zheng'er who is rude." ”

Su Zai waved his hand and said: "The minister is here for the matter of Shan Yu, and there are a few more important things, tell the king and the queen mother, this matter, the minister occasionally found out, the reason why he did not tell the king, is because the matter is a little strange, and it is difficult to figure out, but today, the minister seems to have sorted out his thoughts and came to tell him." ”

Seeing Su Zheng speaking solemnly, Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji glanced at each other, and the three of them sat around the table together.

Su Zheng was the first to speak: "Today, the Teng clan is only here to find ministers, and its purpose is to be afraid that the Qin State will help and occupy the Hetao area!" ”

Subsequently, Su Zheng told Yingzheng all the words of today and Tengli.

Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji were overjoyed.

This is equivalent to taking the entire Hetao without spending a single soldier, and there is no need to worry about the war between the Xiongnu and the Yueshi in the north, and after the world is unified, they can deal with the north.

Moreover, with the Hetao area, the salt profits of the Qin State can flourish, and the war horses will be multiplied!

Ying Zheng poured a bottle of wine for the three of them, took the lead in raising the wine bottle, and said to Su Zheng: "Taifu, for Qin Guo and Zheng'er, there is the grace of the society. ”

Zhao Ji also spoke: "Thank you." ”

Su Zai raised the wine bottle and said humbly: "The minister has to be the king first, and he should protect the king with all his might, and there are ...... Dowager! ”

The three of them drank it all, and Su Zheng continued: "Great King, the first thing I want to say today is that the Teng clan promised to become a vassal of the Qin State, and after the Teng clan went west, the king must remember that he must maintain a permanent vassal friendship with the Teng clan, and when necessary, he would rather make some concessions and let the Teng clan become the vassal state of the Qin State." ”

Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji naturally didn't understand Su Zheng's words.

The Teng clan is in the Hetao, and he can become a vassal, but he is far away two thousand miles away, so what's the use of needing this subject country.

Su Zheng asked both of them to look at the 'map of the world' on the wall, and said: "King, look, this ancient road, the minister calls it the Hexi Corridor, and this end is called the Wusheling Ridge, only by crossing the Wusheling Ridge and occupying this place, it is to contain the throat of the thirty-five tribes in the south of the Western Regions, and here, the north is feared by natural dangers, the east is the Hexi Corridor, and the south is the entire Western Regions. ”

Su Zheng continued: "Unlike the Western Regions, this place is not only easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also rich in products, and can even grow crops from my Central Plains, which is the land of abundance!" If the future Teng clan can still establish a vassal friendship with the Qin State, my Qin State will be able to conquer the entire Western Regions one day, and the two layers of land on this map of the world are the land of my Qin State. ”

Ying Zheng stood up in shock.

Staring at the Hexi corridor, slightly distracted, Su Zheng knew that this was not Ying Zhenghui shocked, even if it was replaced by Wang Di, Meng Yu and others.

Because, this is equivalent to opening up a new world for Yingzheng.

Su Zai continued: "King, although my Qin State emphasizes agriculture and light commerce, but, this is because we are still in the midst of war, once the world is unified, the Central Plains is a country, we must pay attention to commerce and trade, the so-called, no agriculture is not reached, no business is not passed, at that time, Qin will inevitably be heavy on commerce to strengthen the country, and from a commercial point of view, this road is even more amazing, this road also has a name, called the Silk Road. ”

Ying Zheng turned around and said with his eyebrows: "Silk Road? What is the Silk Road? ”

Su Zai smiled and said: "The minister and the king give a simple example, silk and pottery are not uncommon in the country of the Central Plains, if the king opens this Silk Road and transports the ceramics and silk of my Central Plains to these places that have not yet been incorporated, you can use these to exchange for a hundred or even a thousand times the gold and silver of the Central Plains, which will greatly strengthen the national strength of the Qin State, of course, the benefits are far less than this." ”

Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji were both surprised: "Silk can be exchanged for a hundred times and a thousand times gold and silver?" ”

unimaginable.

Su Zai continued: "Once the Teng clan occupies the choke point at the end of the Hexi Corridor, and the Qin army controls the Hexi Corridor again, turning it into a military and commercial powerhouse, the Qin State will not only swallow up the Western Regions countries in the south, but also connect the powerful countries west of the entire Shenzhou, if the Qin State wants to attack it, it will be easy, and if any Western countries want to attack the Qin State, there is nothing to do. ”

Speaking of which.

Ying Zheng's gaze was already inseparable, and his chest rose and fell violently.

Although he couldn't figure out the benefits of this for a while, it was conceivable that all the things of a country could be displayed on this ancient road.

To unify the Xiongnu and unify the Baiyue, we must seize this ancient road.

You can easily lay the only gap at the end of the ancient road and go south into the countries of the Western Regions.

Ying Zheng said urgently: "Taifu, that's right, this road, even if it is used for commerce and connection to the Western Regions, is extremely difficult to measure. ”

Su Zai got up and said: "Therefore, the minister asked the Teng clan to occupy this place, in addition to giving them a place to live, more importantly, it is to prepare for my Great Qin, the king must remember that the relationship between the Teng clan and the Qin State must not be interrupted, and the minister also thought that such a place, my Great Qin can also occupy, but the climate there may not be suitable for my Central Plains people, if you want to develop for several generations, there are only people outside the country." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, but this place is separated from Xianyang by two thousand miles, so how can the widow let the Teng family be in Qin forever?" ”

Su Zai smiled: "This matter, it's not difficult, when the Teng clan was in trouble, the king did his best to help, Teng's Shan Yu is not an ungrateful person, the only thing she cares about is her clan, so that the clansmen can be passed on from generation to generation!" Moreover, the Teng clan went to the Western Regions, and it was difficult to stand firm for twenty years, and if the king helped, this time would be greatly shortened. ”

Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

Zhao Ji suddenly said in a loud voice: "Wuhou, there is a way for the concubine, maybe it will work." ”

Ying Zheng and Su Zheng both set their eyes on Zhao Ji, and both of them were a little surprised.

Zhao Ji smiled lightly and said: "Since Teng's Shan Yu is willing to become a vassal of Qin, then Zheng'er will promise that if he helps Teng build a country in the Western Regions, Teng's will be grateful, second, Teng's Shan Yu is a woman, my Qin State is a country of Shangbang, why doesn't Zheng'er make her a princess!" After the unification of the world, I will announce the world, at that time, who dares to touch the princess of the Qin country? ”

Zhao Ji's words undoubtedly made both of them look bright.

That's right, since it's a state, I'm a big country in the state and named her a princess, which is justified.

The Qin State can not only help the Teng clan to build the country, but also make this country the main country of the Qin State, then this territory is equivalent to the Qin State.

Ying Zheng clapped his hands and said happily: "Yes, what the queen mother said is right, not only does the widow want to crown her as a princess, but also hereditary!" Even if it is from generation to generation, as long as this princess is still there, she will be the princess of my Qin Kingdom, hereditary replacement! ”

Su Zai suddenly smiled and said, "This method is excellent!" ”

Ying Zheng is overjoyed, as long as he canonizes a princess! And the general trend is gracious, and this relationship will not be severed.

Ying Zheng's face was slightly red, which was excited.

He looked at the ancient road on the wall, and his heart was full of joy, the Hexi Corridor, the Silk Road, this is an opportunity to make the Qin State to a higher level, and it is full of gold.

Ying Zheng was happy and said: "What princess is sealed, wait for the widow to think about it!" This is not to be sloppy! ”

Su Zheng smiled knowingly.

Teng Liya became the princess of the Qin State, and the princess of the Western Regions was sealed by the great powers of the Shangbang, even if it was in later generations, there were some, but Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji were able to do this in advance, which undoubtedly surprised Su Zheng, proving that Ying Zheng really had his heart in the world.

Su Zai said: "King, this second thing is about, Lu Buwei!" ”

With Su Zheng's words, Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji suddenly put away the smiles on their faces.

Zhao Ji hated Lu Buwei very much!

Su Zai and Lü Buwei, the two heaviest courtiers of the Qin State, are two extremes in Zhao Ji's heart, and he hates Lü Buwei as much as he ......

Ying Zheng looked over, Su Zheng said: "This matter, even if the king knows, he must not show the news, the minister wants to ask the king, if the minister lets the king govern in advance, but wants to hurt this prime minister, what will the king do with him?" ”

Ying Zheng didn't like Lü Buwei in the first place, because now Lü Buwei is meddling in more and more political affairs.

Why is he so idle now, there are also reasons for Lü Buwei, the reason for controlling the government, the historical Lü Buwei was equivalent to setting up this King of Qin before Yingzheng was not in power.

Today, Lü Buwei is still on this old path, but the reason is because of fear, fear of Su Zheng, fear of Zhao Ji, and fear of Yingzheng.

reluctant to give up his power.

Ying Zheng said: "Widow...... The widow will let the prime minister go to the fiefdom of Luoyang to retire! ”

Zhao Ji was a little resentful and said, "It's better to kill him!" ”

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Ji, his eyes were full of doubts, although Lu Buwei was a little arrogant, but after all, he was the former king's minister.

Zhao Ji looked at Su Zheng with two eyes, and the two of them met.

Su Zai said: "Queen Mother, King, this time Daiguo attacked Hetao, which means that he wants Qin to send troops to plug it up, and use 50,000 Hufu cavalry to contain the troops in Guanzhong, and the minister thinks that Daiguo is doing this, mainly in the east of my Qin State, that is, outside Hangu Pass, perhaps, there will be a war." ”

Ying Zheng said: "What? Taifu is saying that Daiguo wants to attack outside Hangu Pass? ”

Su Zai said: "It may be more than Daiguo!" The minister thought that there was still Yan Guo. ”

When Ying Zheng heard Yan Guo, he immediately thought of the crown prince, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Taifu said Ji Dan? ”

Su Zai nodded and said, "Then, the minister wants to tell the king that Ji Dan's escape from Xianyang has something to do with Lu Buwei!" ”

Ying Zheng said incredulously: "What? Taifu, do you mean that the prime minister and the Yan State colluded to attack the Qin State? ”

Su Zai shook his head and said, "It is impossible for Lu Buwei to betray the Qin State, his only purpose is to covet the rights of the Qin State!" ”

Ying Zheng said angrily: "If you are greedy for power, you can betray the Qin State, the prime minister is really!" Is! ”

Su Zai said: "The prime minister is to kill Cheng Jiao!" ”

Ying Zheng's eyes were stunned, this answer was quite unexpected, now, the Empress Dowager Huayang is already in the palace, Cheng Jiao was named Chang'an Jun, and he is also respectful to Ying Zheng, how can Ying Zheng not feel this.

However, it is impossible for him to make a move on Cheng Jiao for no reason.

After all, he is the king of the Qin State and the eldest son!

Su Zai said: "The king, if he is a minister, he will also kill Cheng Jiao, a person's life is not a matter compared to the Qin country, and now, the minister can tell the king exactly that the war in the northern Hetao region must have something to do with the east." ”

"The minister is ready to plan the plan, so that the Daiguo will mistakenly think that their plan has succeeded, once the Daiguo thinks so, he will start the plan in the east, and at that time, he can set a countermeasure."

"And during this period, the king is the only one who can make profits, one is Lu Buwei, and the other is Cheng Jiao, the minister thinks that the king only needs to do the trick of the yellow bird!"

Zhao Ji's eyes were fiery.

Although there is no sound, the yellow finch is behind?

Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.

Ying Zheng suddenly asked: "Taifu, in the northern Hetao, if the Daiguo comes to attack, my Qin State will definitely send 100,000 or more men, so it will definitely fall for the trick of the Daiguo, how can you make the Daiguo mistakenly think that he has succeeded?" ’

Su Zai said: "The king, although you can send 150,000 soldiers and horses to the plug, but to resist 50,000 Hufu cavalry, but there is no need for so many people, from the perspective of the ministers, twenty or thirty thousand is enough, then the remaining Qin soldiers, won't they blind the eyes of the country?" ”

"Twenty or thirty thousand?"

"Minister, take the king to a place tomorrow, and the king will know."
