Chapter 49: Xianyang Palace Discussion (1)
Just when LĂź Buwei followed Yangquan Jun to pay homage to Lady Yangquan, a high-level meeting of the Qin State was also going on in the royal palace of Xianyang.
In the center of the palace city of Xianyang, on the Xianyang Plain in the north of Weishui, there stands a huge palace group composed of several large and small palaces sitting in the north and facing south, from west to east, which is the Xianyang Palace.
Black is the main color of Xianyang Palace, the law is strict, the momentum is the most profound impression of Xianyang Palace, "Sanfu Yellow Map" records here as "Beiying Mausoleum Palace, the end door is four reaches, to the purple palace, like the residence of the Emperor of Heaven." It shows how majestic this palace symbolizing the center of power of the Great Qin Empire is, and shows the spirit and majesty of the world's most powerful country.
In the early morning of this day, a carriage slowly stopped under the steps in front of Xianyang Palace, and Fan Sui, the prime minister of Qin, dressed in a black robe and wearing a crane crown, stepped out of the carriage without saying a word.
Although Fan Sui at this moment, as Qin Xiang, has won the trust of Qin Wangji, and is the bull's ear of the world's most powerful country, he has the tendency to order the world not to dare to obey, but today's Fan Sui is obviously not in a very good mood, which can be seen from his serious and even somewhat gloomy face along the way.
A moment later, Fan Sui came to the main hall. In the main hall, there were already people waiting for his arrival.
Fan Sui's face was straight, and he bowed deeply to the person on the top of the main throne in the main hall: "Minister, Fan Sui, I have seen the king." â
This old man sitting on the throne, with an elegant and luxurious top and bottom, dark black in color, only red dots on the cuffs, waist and neckline, a crown, white beard and hair, but extremely sharp eyes, is the current monarch of Qin, Qin Wangji, who has reigned for 47 years.
Qin Wangji, the longest-reigning monarch of Qin since its establishment, crushed the rebellion in Shu during his reign, annexed the Yiqu in the north, and successively defeated the three major Warring States hegemons of Wei, Qi and Chu to the east in forty years, nearly doubling the territory of Qin and doubling its population, so that today's Qin State has reached an unprecedented heyday.
Since the expulsion of the four nobles a few years ago, today's Qin Wangji is completely in power, and any matter within the Qin State can be "decided in one word", whether it is a civil servant or a military general, whether it is an official or a common person, and even the six countries of Shandong outside Hangu Pass, they are all in awe of this Qin monarch and the overlord of the world.
Regardless of whether it is governance or martial arts, Qin Wangji at this moment can be said to be the existence of the past and the present monarchs of the Qin State to the present.
Words are moving, and out of the world is shocked.
Even if Zhou Tianzi still exists at this moment, even if the seven heroes of the land of China coexist at this time, and there is a strong enemy like Zhao who can still compete with the Qin State, everyone must admit that only this king who rules the Qin State, this sixty-five-year-old man, is the real and veritable first king of the world!
Seeing Fan Sui's arrival, Qin Wangji nodded slightly, and slowly spoke: "Fan Jun doesn't have to be polite. â
This is Qin Wangji's exclusive name for Fan Sui, which shows that Fan Sui is different in Qin Wangji's heart.
Fan Sui stood up respectfully and sat down on the left hand side of Qin Wangji.
Don't look at Fan Sui's majesty in front of the people of the world and the monarchs of the other six countries, but in front of this extremely majestic Qin Wangji, he is as well-behaved as a cat.
There are not only Fan Sui here, but also several other ministers, all of whom are important ministers of the Qin State without exception, and they are all high-ranking and powerful.
It also includes the current crown prince of Qin State, Zhao Yiren's father-An Guojun Zhao Zhu, who is sitting on the right hand side of Qin Wangji.
Due to the aging of Qin Wangji, An Guojun, as the crown prince, was also allowed to participate in some military affairs. Of course, as a prince who keeps to himself, An Guojun often consciously regards himself as an ornament and hardly expresses his opinions.
After all, the current Qin Wangji is already old, and as soon as people get old, their suspicions will become very serious, and An Guojun doesn't want to let his father have any thoughts about feeling that he can't wait to take the throne at this time.
At this point, this An Guojun is much stronger than Yinren, the son of Emperor Kangxi, who is also the second son of the longevity emperor, if Yinren is not full and says everywhere "How can there be a prince in the world for forty years", thinking about creating his own Laozi every day, then he will not be picked up by Yongzheng.
Before Dad died, forbearance was king. Even if you endure as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, then you still have to endure it!
From this point of view, An Guojun, who survived his eldest brother, obviously has the essence of forbearance.
Of course, given that An Guojun's father, Qin Wangji, has also endured the Empress Dowager and Sigui for forty years, this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Dafa may also be the family heirloom of the Qin royal family...
An Guojun glanced at Fan Sui, and nodded slightly towards Fan Sui like his father Qin Wangji, Fan Sui also smiled, and the two of them could be regarded as greetings.
As for the other ministers, Fan Sui directly ignored them.
As soon as Fan Sui sat down, Qin Wangji spoke.
"Fan Jun, do you know about the dispatch of troops by the State of Chu?"
Fan Sui immediately replied, "Sui knows." â
In fact, this meeting was held precisely because of the troops sent by the Chu State.
Just earlier today, Xianyang received information from the front.
Chu Wang Yuan had already assembled an army of 200,000 people, and sent Chu to order Yin Chun Shenjun Huang Xie to sit in Shangchacheng to take charge of the overall situation, and the great Sima Jingyang was the commander of the Chu army, officially declaring war on Qin.
In the territory of the Qin State, there are two horizontal and two vertical mountain ranges of Qinling, Funiu Mountain, Daba Mountain and Wushan Mountain, which form a "T" shape, dividing the Qin State into three parts: the upper half, the lower left and the lower right.
The top and core part is the Guanzhong-Cuihan Passage, the base camp of the Qin State, that is, the first line of the Central Plains, and then the lower left is the southwest Sichuan Basin of the Qin State, and then the lower right is the southeast part of the Qin State composed of Nanjun and Nanyang County.
Now what the army of Chu is advancing is not in the direction of Changping, the first line of the Central Plains where Qin and Zhao fought fiercely, but directly pointing at the two counties in the southeast of Qin that were once the homeland of Chu - Nanjun and Nanyang County.
The 200,000 Chu army led by Sima Jingyang, the great of the Chu State, the place where the soldiers pointed is the county seat of Nanyang County of the Qin State today, Wancheng!
As long as Wancheng is conquered, then the Chu army will be able to continue to attack Danyang City and Dengcheng, once these three cities all fall, the entire Nanyang County will fall into the hands of Chu State.
After the loss of Nanyang County, the connection between the southern county of Qin and the mainland of Guanzhong was cut off, and the initiative of the entire southeast battlefield was completely in the hands of the Chu people.
After that, the people of Chu could go south to recover the original capital Yingdu, so that this southern county of the current Qin State could return to the Chu State. Once Nanjun and Nanyang County return to the hands of Chu, then the territory and population of Chu will be able to surpass Qin in an instant, and the national strength will immediately rise to a higher level.
In this way, no matter what the victory or defeat of Qin Zhao on the front line of Changping, the re-rise of the overlord of Chu is absolutely unstoppable.
To put it bluntly, the people of Chu are taking advantage of the decisive battle between Qin and Zhao in Changping, and they are looking for Qin to fight the autumn wind!
This was clearly not the outcome that the Qin State wanted to see.
If the result of trying his best to fight Zhao State is the re-rise of Chu State, for Qin State, it is a huqin in the crotch -!
Therefore, even though he had already used forty years of dormant experience to practice the Ninja Turtles Divine Turtles Dafa to the peak realm, Qin Wangji still seemed a little impatient at this moment, and almost immediately asked: "Now that the Chu State has sent troops, can Fan Jun have a way to solve it?" â
Being able to make Qin Wangji ask such impatient questions proves that the matter is already quite serious for Qin State.
As the so-called hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, Qi and Chu are both former Warring States overlords, and now although they have declined, they are still very difficult, plus a quasi-overlord-level Zhao State, even if the Qin State at this moment is unprecedentedly powerful, but with the power of one country to fight against the three kingdoms of Zhao, Chu and Qi, it is still a lot of pressure.
As Qin Wangji's minister of the humerus, Qin Wangji can be said to have high hopes for Fan Sui at this moment. After all, in Qin Wangji's heart, Fan Sui is his Jiang Ziya, his Guan Zhong, and it is at this critical moment that he gives advice.
Will Fan Sui disappoint Qin Wangji?
The answer is â of course not.
Although the incident happened suddenly, with Fan Sui's talent, even in the short period of time he came to the palace, it was enough for him to make a good draft in his stomach.
I saw Fan Sui smile slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Today, Zhao Chuqi and the three kingdoms are united, although they are strong, they are not unavoidable. The ministers have three strategies to solve this crisis, I don't know what the king wants to listen to first? â
