Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Mortal Situation

Qin State, Gan Taishi's Mansion.

Since learning the news that Wei united the states and intended to destroy Qin, Lao Ganlong led the state of Qin, mobilized local governments, tried his best to calm the people's hearts everywhere, and at the same time arrested spies from various countries who spread news everywhere in Liyang, trying to cover up the news of the invasion of Qin by various countries, and control the panic of the people to a minimum.

But Rao is like this, in recent days, the frequent arrest operations of the Qin State and the secret spies of various countries before they were killed, more or less also made the people of Liyang feel something different from the actions of the different government, so that Liyang City, which had just experienced Chen Cang's great victory and was boiling against the sky, actually quieted down strangely.

"Alas", Du Zhi cried and sat on the side of the desk, frowning, and let out a long sigh.

Gan Long, who was flipping through the bamboo slips in the hall, raised his head slightly after hearing the sigh in the room, and said to Du Zhi in the hall while sorting out the bamboo slips that had been consulted on the case: "Zhongshuzi, if you don't go to the government to deal with official business, what is the so-called matter in the old man's house?" ”

When Du Zhi heard this, he knew that the teacher was angry because of his sigh just now, but he was really panicked in his heart, and he had nowhere to vent, and now that his teacher asked, he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and sighed slightly angrily: "Look at those old messes, what is the use of the current situation in the Qin State?" I don't look."

"It's about the grain storage in the national government and the livelihood of the Qin State, which is also an old mess?" At this time, Gan Long, who was irritable because of Du Zhi's sigh, and now heard Du Zhi's ridiculous words, simply put down the official business in his hand and asked with a serious face.

Looking at his teacher's faintly angry face, Du Zhi, who was originally depressed because of the invasion of Qin by the countries, slowly calmed down at this time, and hurriedly got up and saluted Gan Long and apologized: "Teacher, Du Zhi was reckless just now, and Du Zhi will go to deal with the official affairs in the national government."

"You, stop...", looking at Du Zhi who was angry and about to get up and return to the national mansion, Gan Long said angrily, "You, you are too reckless, and you can't hold your breath at a critical time."

What kind of person Du Zhi is, Gan Long, as a teacher, knows very well.

To put it nicely, Du Zhi is a resolute and outspoken person, but in fact, Du Zhi is actually a reckless, somewhat clever, and pretentious person.

Such a person is a good knife, used well, and can withstand thousands of troops, but he is not a qualified good hand who holds a knife.

Especially when the new monarch was replaced last time, the first king had left an edict to let the second son Yingqu Liang succeed to the throne, although the court had not yet been announced, but the ministers of Qin State already knew it.

But Du Zhi didn't think so, and actually openly united with the ministers of the world clan above the court to support the succession of the eldest prince Yingqian, intending to subvert the old monarch's will.

If it weren't for Du Zhi being a concubine and an important minister in the Qin Dynasty, the situation in Qin at that time was also very critical, and there was no precedent for killing ministers, otherwise Ying Qian, who has always been hot-tempered, would not have been as simple as cutting off his crown with a sword.

Thinking about it now, Lao Ganlong didn't know how to evaluate it in his heart. Supporting the succession of the eldest son, not to mention that there is no national law and does not obey the king, but the big crime of provoking the flesh and blood of the royal son, even if the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, I am afraid that Du Zhi will not be easily let go.

"Tell me, you have been involved in the politics of the Qin State for so many years, why are you always unable to hold your breath?" , Lao Ganlong took a sip of the hot tea served by the maid next to him, and then glanced at Du Zhi, who was restless in the hall, and said dissatisfiedly.

"It's not that I can't hold my breath, I'm just not angry...".

"What's wrong with you? As the minister of Qin, he should serve Qin, and he should die for Qin."

When Du Zhi heard this, he immediately got up and retorted: "Going to die for the Qin State, although I, Du Zhi, am a scholar, I am by no means ambiguous, and I will not back down."

However, this time the countries invaded Qin, which could have been avoided, why should we smear our hearts and brains for a person who is not a Qin person, and ruin the country and the family."

When Gan Long heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, looked at Du Zhi and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?" ”

As soon as Du Zhi heard his teacher's questioning, he immediately stood up angrily and said, "Old lady, you won't really be a fool who doesn't know anything about Du Zhi."

The Wei State attacked Qin because the monarch secretly hid the sinner Wei Kai of the Wei family, which was stated by the Wei Wang Ying in the notice to the countries, and it was precisely in this way that the Wei State would unite the countries and raise troops to crusade against our Qin State.

If it weren't for Wei Kai, how could Wei raise troops for no reason, and how could my Qin State suffer such a catastrophe."

When Gan Long heard this, he immediately did not speak. The announcement of the king of Wei and Qin, after the next dynasty, Lao Ganlong clearly knew every word on it.

But so what, no matter who Wei Kainai was before, but now Wei Kainai is Chen Cangling appointed by the Qin State government, what is the difference between Wei Kai's arrest and declaration of war on Qin?

As for letting the Qin State hand over Wei Kai to appease the anger of the Wei State, the old Qin people really didn't have such a face, besides, Wei Kai defeated the enemy army in Changchuan some time ago, and he was a hero in the hearts of the entire Qin people.

Seeing that his teacher didn't speak, Du Zhi thought that what he had just said moved the teacher in front of him, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "Teacher, you are the prince's concubine and the old minister of the three dynasties of the Qin State, it is better for you to persuade the monarch..."

Before Du Zhi finished speaking, Lao Ganlong's face turned blue, and he immediately retorted: "Old Qin people still want some face."

"But that Wei Kai doesn't agree with me and other old Qin people, and I don't have to wait for him...".

Looking at Du Zhi's crazy appearance of arguing loudly, Lao Ganlong said in a deep voice: "Presumptuous, Du Zhi, you must know that we are not old Qin."

Ganlong, Du Zhi's ancestors were from the Shandong States, and later moved into the Qin State and gradually settled down. This is also the reason why the local old family of Qin State, when they have disputes with Ganlong Du Zhi and them, often have a "Shandong dog thief".

"But...".

"Du Zhi, you have to understand that Wei Kai's momentum in the Qin State has been achieved, and a little cleverness like this to deal with Wei Kai is just to make others laugh.

Don't say anything that is not a Qin person, now Wei Kai has the trust of the monarch, and the general Ying Qian, the support of ministers such as Gongsun Jia of Changshi, plus his battle of Changchuan, the worship of the people of Qin, even if Wei Kai is not an old Qin person, but he is also a true Qin person of Wei Pi and Qin bones. ”

After listening to Lao Ganlong's words, Du Zhi's face suddenly turned ugly.

"I think that Baili Xi was just a slave at the beginning, and after Mu Gong heard about his reputation, he did not hesitate to use five sheepskins to redeem it from the Chu people in person, not to mention Wei Kai, who is now trusted by the Qin government and the opposition and admired by the people in the countryside.

Besides, the friendship between Wei Kai and the monarch is so deep, if we and the old clan do not force the monarch, I am afraid that if the Wei people do not come over, the government and the opposition of the Qin State will have a gap, and the current situation in the Qin State will be tantamount to making matters worse.

What good is this for us of the Qin family? Gan Long looked at Du Zhi, who was still not giving up beside him, and had to explain helplessly.

"Then let Wei Kai and that guy escape easily?" , Du Zhi said unwillingly.

Du Zhi actually understood in his heart that the Qin people with a rough personality and iron bones would never do such a thing as flattering the kings of other countries with the lives of their ministers.

But these days, the Qin clan was really defeated in the hands of Wei Kai, plus a few days ago, the Chen Cang team caused a sensation in Liyang City.

The narrow-minded Du Zhi saw that Wei Kai was in the limelight again, and they, the cornerstone of the Qin State, were like rats crossing the street, one by one uneasy, so he started to hold the monarch hostage and betray the minister.

When Gan Long heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "The momentum of the Wei State uniting the countries to attack Qin is like a divine thunder falling from the sky, unstoppable.

The Qin State is small, it will definitely be unstoppable at that time, and I, the Qin people, will definitely suffer heavy damage, and then you say that Wei Kai, who is the cause of the whole thing, should I do it? ”

When Du Zhi heard this, he immediately understood what his teacher meant, and hurriedly said, "Teacher, we will wait for the opportunity when you say it...".

"No, no..., I don't have to wait, I think that Wei Kai, who has been favored by two generations of Qin kings, will definitely take the initiative to sacrifice himself to appease the anger of Wei Jun and the friendship between him and the monarch and the ministers", Gan Long said with his eyes shining.

"High, high... Teacher, this plan is very high", Du Zhi heard this, and immediately stretched out his thumb and said.

It turned out that Lao Ganlong expected that even if their old clan persecuted Yingquliang and took the opportunity to get rid of Wei Kai, Yingquliang would not hand over Wei Kai, but would cause a gap between the clan and Qin Jun, leaving the ugly faces of their old clan in the hearts of the people in the countryside.

Since the Wei State is menacing, then the Qin State must have a solution. But no matter what he did, it would be impossible for the weak Qin State to win the Five Nations Alliance, which means that Wei Kai would be a mortal situation at that time.

Whether it is the coalition army to break through the Qin State and then capture Wei Kai, or Wei Kai takes the initiative to sacrifice himself, the great enemy in the hearts of the old clan of the Qin State will definitely be eliminated after this battle, so why should the old clan rush at this time? This is probably also the reason why Lao Ganlong is light.

Moreover, if Wei Kai took the initiative to stand up and sacrifice himself, the old clan of the Qin State would not hinder their disagreement with Wei Kai, and the friendship between Wei Kai and Yingqu Liang's touching monarchs and ministers would be greatly publicized at that time, and the Qin State would return to the hands of their old clan from then on.

At that time, the Qin State will cede land and pay compensation, no matter whether Yingquliang is avenging Wei Kai or reorganizing the ancestral foundation, he will definitely work hard and be angry, so he will naturally have to rely heavily on them.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and I am afraid that Lao Ganlong also saw these in advance, so he ignored his old age and frailty, flipped through the official documents in the national government, and prepared in advance.
