Chapter 18: Will they join forces?

Wang Guo had some joy today.

He had the impression that the historical Shang Ying, after taking charge of the power of the Qin State, started with a Ximu Lixin, thus establishing the majesty of the Qin court among the people.

But Wang Guo and Qin Xiaogong are different, what he wants is to lose the country!

So after the morning dispersed, he secretly arranged for Sima Wanyi to keep an eye on Shang Yang.

Sure enough, Sima Wanyi did a good job, and I heard that Shang Yang has not backstabbed the widow so far.

As for a few words with General Jiang Shen? I guess it's a friend, and the widow is happy to see this.

In short, as long as you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, don't come to Yimu Lixin, you are a loyal servant of the widow!

As for the general Jiang Shen, he is also a minister who helped the widowed to lose the country!

In just one afternoon, it cost nearly 20,000 taels of silver like splashing water, and directly compressed the 5,000-strong forbidden army into 3,000.

It is also said that it is the best soldier among the best.

Don't make trouble, the dilapidated appearance of the forbidden army, can the widow not know?

No matter how good you are, you can't have combat effectiveness!

But it's good that this way, not only can you waste a sum of money, but then take the forbidden army to defeat the battle in the future, and this country will die quickly!

Moreover, Wang Guo also paid careful attention to the amount of silver Jiang Shen spent.

There are only three or five thousand people in total, and it costs twenty thousand taels of silver?

Shouldn't you just send money to buy people's hearts?

Thinking of this, Wang Guo was even more overjoyed!

Shang Yang and Jiang Shen, one writer and one martial artist, are simply rare helpers for the death of the country!

"Come on, take the widow's Go and the sword!" Wang Guo gave an order.

Sima Wanyi didn't dare to slack off, took out his things, and bowed down to Wang Guo.

"Go, send Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, send the sword to the General's Mansion, and say that it is a reward for the widow!" Wang Guo commanded.

For this kind of loyal ministers who have lost their country, we must increase our efforts, give them sufficient rewards, and encourage them to make persistent efforts!

"The old slave takes orders!" Sima Wanyi hurriedly put away the two treasures, remembered something, and asked, "Dare to ask my king, when you send Go and the sword, do you need to say anything to the prime minister and the general?" ”

"Say what?" Wang Guo held his chin and began to think.

Indeed, if the reward is not clearly explained, but instead stimulates their motivation, the gain outweighs the loss.

For Shang Yang, this kind of character who can enrich the country and strengthen the army as soon as he makes a move, the most important thing is to make his decree work, and the best thing is to drag him from wanting to change the law!

"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and tell Shang Yang that he can think deeply and don't have to be in a hurry."

As for Jiang Shen, he is the main force usurping power, and he must add fuel to the fire, so that he can't be polite to himself!

"Go to the General's Mansion and tell Jiang Shen that the widow and him are their own people, and if they start an army, the widow will definitely put all his troops in the hands of the general."

Well! They should be able to understand the hint when they talk like this!

Since you can understand it, let's try to usurp the rights of the widow!

Wang Guo was very satisfied, nodded, and asked Sima Wanyi to send the things out.

……

Haiguo, the capital, the prime minister's mansion.

Jiang Shen ran in out of breath.

He had not been idle all afternoon, and as soon as he had finished sifting through the forbidden army, he received a sword from the palace, and a somewhat unprovoked remark.

Jiang Shen found his advisor as soon as possible, Lu Zixu.

Lu Zixu also frowned at first, but after remembering the king's unusual way of thinking, he was immediately relieved.

Lu Zixu said: "This is the king's point to you. If my guess is correct, at the same time that you received the sword, you should also receive some rewards from the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

However, Jiang Shen wanted to ask further when he wanted to mention something, but Lu Zixu couldn't answer, saying that he had to consider what Shang Yang got in order to get the king's final answer.

So Jiang Shen had no choice, and ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, panting from exhaustion.

"Oh? Coincidentally, I also received a gift from the king for Go. Shang Yang nodded and beckoned Jiang Shen to sit down.

"But I really don't understand, what does the king mean by that? And I'm my own person? Originally, he was also my brother-in-law! Jiang Shen frowned.

"Hehe, the most superficial meaning you can think of is definitely not what the king meant." Shang Yang also frowned.

The king's words deliberately emphasized his own people, so there must be a king's abacus!

"There are only two possibilities for emphasizing your own people, and giving you the power to give the general the right to give your troops." Shang Yang said as he paced.

The puzzle was so complex that he had to use enumeration and elimination to arrive at the final answer.

"What are the two possibilities?" Jiang Shen hurriedly asked.

"One, usurpation." Shang Yang replied. "When you have the power of the army, and you are your own person with the king, you should get the throne."

"Hiss......" Jiang Shen's back, cold sweat broke out. Prime Minister, I am loyal to the king, and I have no two hearts! ”

"I also believe that the king did not mean this, so there is only the second possibility left." Shang Yang's eyes lit up, "Foreign war." ”

"And apparently a country with whom you have a grudge! For the king has said, You are his 'own man.'" ”

Speaking of this, both of them were shocked, and among each other, their eyes were shocked, and they said in unison: "Qi Guo!" ”

Yes, the country that has a common enmity with Jiang Shen is the Qi country!

This Jiang Shen is originally a descendant of Jiang Ziya, and Jiang Ziya is the ancestor of the Qi Kingdom!

But it's a pity that the Jiang family declined later, and was usurped by the Tian family, forming the "Tian Family Daiqi" incident that shocked the world.

This incident is an eternal pain in Jiang Shen's heart, and it is also the national hatred and family feud that he is bound to avenge!

"Your Majesty...... Are you really going to swallow this Eastern Overlord......" Jiang Shen's eyes couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

"Alright, old ginger, don't be emotional here. The country of Qi is powerful, and it has to be slowly figured out. Shang Yang said as he took out the theory of governing the country he had just finished writing from a pile of bamboo slips.

"As soon as I told you just now, I also understood the reason why the king sent me Go and asked me to be far-sighted!" Shang Yang was very excited and looked at his work again.

Jiang Shen also leaned over and looked: "County system? ”

"Well, I originally intended to replace the feudal division with the county system, so as to stabilize the central power." Shang Yang pointed to the bamboo slips and said, "But I thought that Haiguo only had three cities, and the county system could already meet the demand. ”

"But the king sent me Go and asked me to think far-sightedly, and he definitely wanted me to have a bigger pattern."

"I was puzzled at first, but through the argument that the king gave you the sword to crusade against the Qi country, I finally understood that what the king wanted was not just the three cities of the sea country! So the county system is out of date! ”

Shang Yang waved his hand and added another word at the beginning of the bamboo slip.

"My king has the determination to dominate the world, and the prime minister's policy of governing the country should not be a county system, but a ......"

"County system!"
