Chapter 45: The Turmoil in the Political Hall

Of these, only Jing Jian knew best about the serious crisis facing the Qin State, and he was puzzled by the answers of these old and important ministers.

Only one doctor, Gan Long, had a clear attitude, but Jing Jian strongly disagreed.

However, no matter what thoughts and propositions he has, he cannot speak in front of him.

Everyone in this room is older and more powerful than him. Shangdafu Ganlong is a Confucian scholar in Shandong Ganguo, and the third patriarch of Qin, when Qin Xiangong was fighting abroad for many years, it was always Ganlong who presided over the state affairs, and the students were all over the Qin State, and Jingjian did not even have the qualifications to be a student for him.

Zuo Shu Chang Yingqian is the cousin of the nobleman of the public office and the monarch, not to mention that he is a powerful minister who commands the three armies.

Changshi Gongsun Jia is in charge of the secrets of the office, often around the monarch, although he has no military power, but he is also one of the few important ministers.

Liyang Ling Zi'an is a descendant of the famous minister You Yu during the reign of Qin Mugong, who is in charge of the military and political power of the capital, although he is not a key minister of the state government, but his actual power is enough to turn the situation upside down, otherwise how can he dare to bluntly collide with Sun Jia, the prince of Changshi?

Even Du Zhi, the middle doctor with the lowest position in the loud atmosphere, Jing Jian can't be compared. Not to mention that Du Zhi is a student of Gan Long, only in terms of authority, although Jing Jian is also a former deputy general of the army who is the same as the doctor, and his title is only one level lower than Du Zhi, but in fact, he is a position that does not have any actual scope of responsibility in the army and the DPRK - deputy general.

Du Zhi is different, he has a string of suffixes as a middle doctor, called "Auxiliary Doctor and Leader of Datian Taicang".

Assisting the doctor to see things is to confirm that he is the deputy of the doctor; He also led Datian Taicang, which means that he was in charge of the farming, grain and storage of the Qin State.

At that time, these were the two most important lifeblood powers. The Zhou royal family called the minister of this position "Situ", and later called Situ, who was an important minister alongside Sima (in charge of soldiers), Sikong (in charge of engineering), and Sikou (in charge of punishment).

How can such a middle doctor be compared?

If it weren't for the fact that Xinjun personally appointed him to be the envoy of the golden order and arrow, and specially ordered him to participate in today's court meeting, he would not have had the opportunity to sit with these important ministers.

However, because of this, Jing Jian has no scruples. He had only one thought in his heart, and once he became a secret envoy and undertook a major mission, he had to tell the monarch and ministers all the information and thoughts he knew, so that they could do their best to save the Qin State, otherwise they would be ashamed of the king's trust.

As for whether it will be adopted after saying it, that's not what Jing Jian thinks at the moment.

Qin Feng also thinks the same way, speaking of which Qin Feng and Jing Jian are in a similar situation, and their titles and official positions are also about the same. Qin Feng and Jing Jian glanced at each other. Something seems to be decided in the eyes.

Gongsun Jia's smile had not yet completely retracted, and Jing Jian and Qin Feng stood up at the same time and arched their hands: "My lord, Jing Jian (Qin Feng) thinks that the merchants of the Six Kingdoms cannot be killed, and killing them will be harmful to the Qin State. ”

"Smack!" With a bang, Dr. Du Zhi scolded him, "Who are you?" How dare you refute the doctor's claim? ”

"In the next is the Jin Ling arrow envoy Jing Jian who went to Wei to explore the secrets. The Qin State is facing the catastrophe of annihilation, and it must not add fuel to the fire of the Six Kingdoms' hearts to destroy me! Jing Jian said.

"The minister is Qin Feng, the guest secretary, although he has no great merits, but he also entered the allied army camp of the Six Nations with his martial arts to investigate for a few days. Investigate what the monarchs of the six countries and Pang Juan said, thought and did. Qin Feng also said.

"Hahaha, the same kind of pity for each other." There was a burst of laughter, and Jing Jian and Qin Feng's words were interrupted by Du Zhi's harsh taunts.

Qin Xiaogong's eyes lit up, but he finally didn't speak, he still had to take a look. At this time, Zuo Shu Chang Yingqian opened his mouth: "Du Zhi is rude." In times of crisis, what's wrong with working together and listening to what they say? Ying Qian was originally a general with troops, with a deep and violent personality, and rarely spoke on weekdays, and the audience was silent as soon as he spoke.

Du Zhi spoke harshly, and Jing Jian wanted to return the favor, but he was generous by nature and saw that Zuo Shu Chang reprimanded Du Zhi, so he didn't care about it anymore.

He bowed his hand to the monarchs and ministers in the hall again, and said in a loud voice: "It is an indisputable fact that the Qin State is weak and the Six Kingdoms are strong. The alliance of the six countries will jointly raise troops to carve up the Qin State. At this time of crisis, if the Qin State killed the secret agents of the merchants of the Six Kingdoms, it would only stimulate the Six Nations even more, so that they would quickly raise troops to attack under the pretext of saving the merchants of the Six Nations. With the current strength of the Qin State, how long can we resist? ”

Gongsun Jia asked lightly: "In your opinion, if you don't kill the secret agents, won't the Six Nations raise troops?" ”

Qin Feng then said: "If you don't kill the secret agents, you naturally can't make the Six Nations quit their troops. However, at least the six countries can urgently find an excuse to march into the army, and our Qin State can also seek countermeasures during this period. ”

Du Zhi laughed and said: "Ah, you two have a big strategy, plan a way to come out." ”

Qin Feng ignored Du Zhi's ridicule, and said all the thoughts along the way, "For example, although there are continuous battles today, whenever you raise troops, you will find a grandiose reason." Otherwise, the division will be nameless, the morale of the people will inevitably be low, and it will be very difficult for the joint forces to fight. If our Qin State detains and does not kill the secret agents, it is to show the world that the Qin State is willing to reconcile with the Six Nations. If you kill them all, it is a blatant blood feud with the six states of Shandong. The government and opposition of the six countries will hate Qin to the core, and even if I try my best to mediate, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the military disaster. Because of this, the secret agents of the Six Kingdoms not only could not be killed, but also protected their goods, treated their people well, and let them do business in the Qin State as usual, and go to stay at their own convenience. In this matter, please weigh it with the lords. It is reasonable, reasonable, and obviously the result of hard thinking all the way.

Jing Jian also expressed his thoughts, and it actually coincided with Qin Feng.

The little man spoke, but there was no one in the hall to refute it, and there was silence for a long time. Qin Xiaogong was greatly pleased.

He didn't expect that this young friend would coincide with him so much in major matters? Qin Feng is enough, Yingquliang is already accustomed to Qin Feng's outstanding planning and analysis. However, Jing Jian, as an old Qin person, there are many men who are fierce and loyal and hate to death, and love to death abound, but it is more difficult to find a man who is both strong and flexible, and knows how to endure and wait, than to cast a sword.

If the old Qin people swear to fight to the death, they would rather be broken than broken, that is a hundred responses.

But if the old Qin people want to take twists and turns, it is a song of spring and a widow.

Even those Confucian celebrities in Shandong, such as Ganlong, who have lived in Qin for a long time, have become stubborn and stubborn.

As the monarch, the young Yingqu Liang has a depth and breadth that transcends his age, and naturally deeply understands that the strong character of the old Qin tribe is precious, otherwise, how could the Qin State dominate Xirong in the world for four hundred years?

However, if the temple figures in the upper echelons of the Qin State were also such people, how could the Qin State achieve great things?

That is, as faced with the danger of destroying the country, it is not difficult to be brave and brave, but the difficult thing is to be calm and patient, take into account the overall situation, and then turn the danger into a disaster. Who doesn't hate the secret agents of the Six Kingdoms?

Killing them must be supported by the whole country. At this time, how broad does it take to think of treating your enemies with kindness instead of killing your most hated enemies?

How many chronic diseases in the character of the old Qin people need to be overcome? Not to mention that Jing Jian is still a young general who fights on the battlefield. When Qin Xiaogong thought of these last night, he felt that he was heavy and lonely. But when Jing Jian said this generously and calmly, he was excited and relieved, and he felt that he was no longer lonely.

In an instant, the young monarch felt a deep sense of gratitude to the young general and the guest secretary.

At this time, Zuo Shu's reverent and coarse voice sounded, "General Jingjian, Qin Feng Keqing is reasonable. With the strength of the Qin State, it is already difficult for us to resist the Wei State, how can we be the enemy of the Six Kingdoms at the same time? ”

Liyang ordered Zi'an to follow, "Zi'an agrees with what Zuo Shu Chang said, don't kill the secret agent." ”

He knew very well in his heart that the monarch had ordered not to kill or plunder, and as soon as the chief Zuo spoke, the matter was finalized. Because Gan Long usually presides over internal affairs, he doesn't have much decision-making power over this kind of foreign affairs, and the power in this area lies with Zuo Shuchang.

Gongsun Jia kept nodding his head as everyone spoke, and said with a calm smile at this time: "The overall situation is already clear. How, exactly? It's better to choose. ”

Gan Long's face was expressionless and he didn't say a word. Du Zhi just sneered slightly and didn't speak.

Qin Xiaogong lightly patted the book case at this time: "The secret agents of the six countries, don't kill for the time being, don't move the property, and don't hurt yourself." If there is a change in the movement of the six countries, it is not too late to kill them. He is in my hand, so why should I be afraid? However, Liyang ordered that the secret agents of the Six Kingdoms must be strictly monitored, and no one was allowed to leave the Qin State within half a year, let alone escape. Otherwise, there is no forgiveness for beheading. "The young monarch showed his power for the first time in the government hall, but he was not angry and arrogant.

"Your Majesty obeys." Liyang made Zi'an stand up solemnly and shouted his orders.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Qin Xiaogong looked around the hall and said with a solemn expression, "Today's court discussion has actually begun. The alliance of the six states of Shandong proposed that the six countries should set the world and demarcate the sphere of influence for the annexation of small princes. However, what is more important is that the six states of Shandong want to divide the Qin state and turn the seven major warstates of the world into the six major warring states. When and by what means will the Six Nations implement their ambitions to divide Qin? It's not clear at the moment. However, it is certain that the Qin State is already facing the deepest crisis of national extinction in a century. Bow to Lao Qin and go to the national disaster together. This is an old oath that the women and children of the Qin State know. At this time of survival, we monarchs and ministers should work together to seek the country and work together, so that we can plan a sound countermeasure and strategy. After speaking, he walked around, "You don't have any scruples, that one can say it first." ”

There was another silence in the room. Prior to this, these ministers had also heard all kinds of news about the Six Parliamentary Alliance, including many rumors that the secret agents of the Six Nations deliberately leaked to them.

Today, the monarch solemnly proposed and consulted the plan for survival, and the ministers suddenly felt a strong pressure, they could not fight it, they could not escape it, and it was impossible to surrender, and they must come up with a countermeasure that could not fight, escape, or surrender in order to resolve this crisis.

However, with the crisis looming, how can we think about it in a hurry? For a while, no one had anything to say.

Doctor Gan Long is knowledgeable and has presided over state affairs for a long time, and he is a senior minister here, seeing that everyone is silent, he pondered for a while, and said cautiously, "The old minister thinks that the alliance of the six kingdoms, swallowing up the princes, and dividing up the Qin State, this move is not in line with etiquette, nor is it in line with the Tao. I, the Qin State, was originally the founding prince of King Ping's eastward migration, and I made great contributions to the royal family. The Qin State is in trouble, and the Son of Heaven will not sit idly by. The old minister thought that he would become the king of Luoyang Zhou, and issued an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven to refute the fallacy of the Six Kingdoms Alliance, and the truth would be revealed to the world. At the same time, in the name of the royal family, our Qin State united a number of small and medium-sized princes to form an army of hundreds of thousands to resist the soldiers and horses of the six countries. If this can be done, the crisis will be solved, and the country will be very fortunate. ”

Gan Long's words were carefully considered, and his words were very cautious, and they were by no means clear and decisive arguments, but just spoke in a deliberative tone of "what the old minister thinks". However, this is precisely a kind of reserve formed by his identity, power and prestige, and it does not mean that he is ambiguous.

Jing Jian was not clear about the habits, styles, and intricate relationships between the powerful ministers in the country, and thought that as long as he finished what he had thought, he would live up to the trust of the king, and no one would look at his face.

At this moment, after listening to Gan Long's countermeasures, he couldn't help laughing, but he held back his strength. Seeing that no one spoke, he coughed and asked, "The doctor's countermeasures are too broad." The Zhou royal family has declined to a lonely city, and it is still difficult to protect itself, who in the Six Kingdoms will recognize this Son of Heaven? Not to mention that King Zhou didn't dare to send it, even if it did, what is the use of an edict? As for uniting the small and medium-sized princes in the name of the royal family, it is even more unworkable......"
