Chapter 627: There is a change in Qin's internal politics
The rise of the Qin State has been unchangeable.
During these years of conquest, Qin used clever methods to encroach on the lands of Wei, Korea, Zhao, and Qi.
On the surface! It doesn't seem that there are any big victories in the Qin State, but! But it really benefits.
As a result of the Shang Dynasty reform, the population of the Qin State continued to grow. As the land of the Qin State increased, the population grew at a faster rate.
At the same time, the result of the years of war caused the loss of land to the other vassal states. To make matters worse, the population of these vassal states was rapidly declining due to years of war.
Other than that! The policies of the Qin state were more conducive to the survival of man. There are many people who voluntarily fled to the land occupied by the Qin State in order to survive and live a happy life for their children and grandchildren. Outcome! Population loss has been accelerated.
The Qin State adopted this method of encroachment and made a huge war windfall. But! The state of Qin also had troubles. No! It should be said! It is the sorrow of the king of Qin.
King Qin has already entered old age, but! He didn't really hold the power of the Qin state. The queen mother of King Qin has been controlling part of the power of the Qin State behind the scenes. Even! The power surpassed that of the King of Qin. Other than that! In many things, King Qin said that it doesn't matter, without the nod of the queen mother, things can't be done.
The previous King of Qin endured everything. Because! There is nothing wrong with obeying the queen mother. Opposite! There are many things, after listening to the words of the queen mother, it is really good.
It was under this effect of "boiling frogs in warm water" that King Qin had been letting the queen mother "manipulate" the power of Qin State behind the scenes.
Originally! Everything is normal. It is not too much for the queen mother to work hard for her son, it is all for the good of her son. But! When there are villains to sow discord, the problem is big.
The person who sowed discord was none other than Fan Sui, who escaped from the death of Wei and came to Qin.
In fact! It's not that Fan Sui is a villain to sow discord, but! It's the truth.
Oh, yes! The queen mother is not only his son, but the queen mother also gave birth to a son with King Yiqu. If the queen mother is eccentric or the king of Yiqu is bad? So! Qin Guowei also.
This is no joke: what if the king of Yiqu made his son the king of Qin after making his mother the king? Or! Is the king of Yiqu ambitious, and on the grounds of making his son king, he usurps the power of the Qin state and controls the king of Qin?
So! Haven't all of our work been in vain?
King Qin thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
You must know: Wei Ran is the queen mother. If the queen mother is reversed, then! Wei Ran will be opposed!
Wei Ran back then was picked up by the queen mother. Wei Ran has always been grateful to the queen mother and is willing to do everything for the queen. If it weren't for the queen mother, there would be no Wei Ran today.
The reverse is true! If it weren't for Wei Ran, the Qin State would not be as strong as it is today.
So! The more King Qin thought about it, the more scared he became. If the queen mother unites with Wei Ran and establishes the son of King Yiqu as the king of Qin, what can you do?
So! At the suggestion of Fan Sui, the King of Qin decided to adopt various methods to break through: kill the King of Yiqu first, and then deal with Wei Ran. At last! Take all the power from the hands of the Queen Mother.
The problem now is: although King Yiqu is an old man, he is born with divine power and strong martial arts. Just a righteous king, if you go it alone? There weren't many people in Qin's military camp who were his opponents.
Let alone! There is more than one king of righteousness! King Yiqu's side is all more powerful than King Yiqu.
That's why! King Qin has never dared to touch him, dare not offend him, and contradict him.
If the two of them do it face to face, King Qin may not be able to win.
It's true! If King Yiqu entered the Qin Palace with his guards, he might not be able to resist them with the guards around King Qin.
What's more! The King of Qin did not dare to confront the King of Yiqu. The relationship between King Yiqu and his mother was there, and King Qin did not dare to offend his mother.
King Qin can have today, all because the queen mother is behind the scenes. It is precisely for this reason that the king of Qin has always believed in and relied on his mother, and he is no longer disobedient.
Imagine! The queen mother, who has always believed and relied on, how dare King Qin?
But! Under Fan Sui's encouragement, the old King Qin became self-respecting.
Oh, yes! I'm old, and I've been the king of Qin for decades, why can't I be a real king of Qin? Can't talk count?
I made up my mind! Under the influence of Fan Sui, King Qin finally made a move.
In the name of King Yiqu's conspiracy to rebel, he secretly summoned Wei Ran's uncle back from Taoyi. Destroy the king of Yiqu first, weaken the strength of the queen mother, and eliminate the troubles. And then! put Wei Ran under house arrest again. Break it into pieces and break it down! Once the power of King Yiqu and Uncle Wei Ran was taken away, the queen mother would have no power. When the time comes! Naturally, there is no way to manipulate behind the scenes.
"Report! Qin Jiuzhi General Peng Yu came to visit! ”
Just as Peng Zhou was about to go to Taoyi to find his brother and meet Wei Ran, the guards outside ran in to report to Zhenyi.
"Hurry up, please!" Zhenyi heard that Peng Zhou's brother, the nine-fingered general Peng Yu, was coming, and hurriedly greeted.
"My brother?" Peng Zhou listened to it and couldn't believe it.
"Hehehe!" Zhenyi smiled: "Your brother came here when he passed by Hongyi before. ”
When Peng Yu came to visit his father-in-law, he made a detour to Hongyi and visited Zhenyi as Peng Zhou's family. This is a matter of etiquette, which shows that Peng Zhou's family still understands etiquette.
"You?" Peng Yu was surprised when he saw that Peng Zhou was also in Hongyi.
The news he got was that Peng Zhou took his family to Nanban to live in seclusion.
"I'm back! I'm about to go to Taoyi to see my brother! Peng Zhou said with a smile.
Peng Yu saw that his brother Peng Zhou was so thin that there was only one skeleton left, and it was so black that it was shining, and he was so distressed that he couldn't do it.
"Sit! Sit! Sit! Come and drink! Zhenyi was very embarrassed to see that the two brothers had left him aside. But! I can understand it.
"Meet Brother Hong!" Peng Yu arched his hand towards Zhenyi and beckoned.
Zhenyi hurriedly returned the salute, and then said, "Please! ”
Peng Yu said to Zhenyi as he walked to the seat: "I'm going back to Xianyang this time, so I'll come over to visit Brother Hong by the way!" Just right! My brother Peng Zhou is here, so I'll take him back to Qin with me! His sister misses him! Alas! ”
"Oh? Please! Zhenyi stretched out his hand and gestured.
And then! Let the kitchen prepare the food and drinks.
Brothers meet and have a lot to say. But! Can't you leave the owner of Zhenyi aside?
Seeing that Peng Zhou was an adult and had no childishness, Peng Yu was much more relieved. It's true! In the past, although Peng Zhou was very good, he was worried about him.
The food and drinks were quickly put on the table, and everyone was eating and drinking while talking.
The day passed like this, and the two brothers had no chance to chat privately. At night! Zhenyi sat for a while and then went back, giving time to the two brothers.
Peng Yu then told him about the situation in the Qin Palace: King Yiqu may want to rebel, and we will escort us when we go back this time. Just right! For more strength, you can go back with me!
