Chapter 65: The Future of the Qin State
Above the court, the battle report of Wei Kai's great victory, although the ministers of the clan still couldn't believe it for a long time, but when the news reached the ears of the people in Liyang City, the entire Liyang City suddenly boiled.
After all, the Qin State has not won such a big victory for a long time, and the old Qin people are really too bitter.
Originally, when Qin Xiangong crusaded against the land of Shaoliang in the Wei River, he almost had to recover the land west of the river that had been robbed by the Wei State for a hundred years. However, there was a gap within the Qin army, and the ambitious Xiangong was secretly attacked by the Wei army and died of poisoned arrows, and the Qin people mourned and suffered from pain.
If it weren't for the abolition of human martyrdom in the new law of the Qin State, I don't know how many people would have been martyred for the sacrifice of the prince, after all, Qin Xiangong was a virtuous monarch who had quite a means and was loved by the Qin people since the rebellion of the fourth Qin State, and he almost subdued the land west of the river and washed away the shame of the Qin people for a hundred years.
But even so, on the day of the burial of the Duke of Qin, dozens of veterans of the Qin State were in front of the Qin Xian Cemetery, facing the Liyang City in the distance, in the wind and snow, singing Qin songs, shouting: "The Qin State is not dead, the Qin State must be strong".
Then he drew his sword and killed himself, and a touch of blood poured on the land where the ancestors of the Qin people had lived for generations, and they all went to follow their king in the snow.
As soon as Duke Xian died, the situation in the Qin State instantly became turbulent, after all, the new monarch Yingquliang was the prince who was hastily appointed before Duke Xian died, and he had no experience in supervising the country.
What's more, the rumors that Gongzi Qian and Gongzi Quliang were vying for the throne at that time could be regarded as very noisy in Liyang City, how could the people of the Qin people believe that this new monarch could govern the Qin State well? What's more, Qin Cai had just experienced the "Fourth Rebellion", so he became more and more cautious about the change of monarchs.
But now with Wei Kai's big victory, it is easy to solve, after all, the Qin people know that the newly appointed Chen Cangling was a confidant of the new monarch Yingquliang before.
Of course, there are also reasons why the clan has sent people to spread rumors in the market in the past few days, wanting to use Wei Kai's crime to slander and slander King Yingquliang of Qin.
It's just that now it seems that it has greatly increased Yingquliang's prestige in the hearts of the people of Qin, after all, if he can be assisted by such a virtuous person as Wei Kai, the new monarch must also be an eloquent king;
In addition, I think of the fact that at the beginning, Qin Xiangong violated the primogeniture inheritance system and passed the throne to the second son Yingquliang, so the Qin king Yingquliang became more and more divine in the mouths of the people, saying that the Qin State descended to the king of Zhou, and the second son could speak in infancy and so on.
In ancient times, the common people always had endless fantasies about those who were in high positions and had aristocratic blood, and always hoped that they would be some kind of Wenqu star, what kind of heavenly soldiers, heavenly generals, Qingtian and other characters.
After all, in this way, the lives of the people at the bottom can be better and better, of course, these gods and generals are often stories such as myths and wild history, but since then, King Yingquliang of Qin has been completely supported by the people of Qin, but it is real.
Qin Palace.
As soon as he returned to Yingquliang in the dormitory, he suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and was in a happy mood, and the smile on his face had not faded until now. After all, these days, although Yingquliang has not seen the door behind closed doors, this does not mean that he is not aware of the rumors outside, and the pressure in his heart can be imagined.
Now that Wei Kai is in a desperate situation, he slapped those arrogant ministers in the face in the court, and he really felt relieved to show the evil anger he had suffered these days.
However, when he thought of Wei Kai, the admiration in Yingquliang's heart was even stronger.
After all, how dangerous the situation in the court was just now, he could deeply understand that almost the opposition of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the standing of countless old clans, what a powerful force this is, and it still makes Yingqu Liang feel palpitations until now.
But even so, Wei Kai was thousands of miles away and easily resolved the crisis.
Thinking of the sentence that Wei Kai came from half a month ago: "Let the wind and rain blow, I sit in the pavilion steadily", Yingquliang was even more amazed.
Could it be that Wei Kai had already anticipated this crisis half a month ago? But he had just sent his troops to Changchuan, so how could he be sure that he would be able to defeat the menacing enemy? Ying Quliang suddenly thought of it, and then smiled, shook his head and said, "Mr. Wei Kai is really a god."
Just as Ying Quliang was about to start dealing with government affairs, Jing Jian took Ying Qian and Gongsun Jia, who he met halfway, to King Qin's government affairs room, and Ying Quliang immediately got up to greet him.
However, looking at Gongsun Jia among the three, Yingqu Liang suddenly wondered in his heart, after all, in order to avoid getting involved in the court dispute, he would rather be idle at home than take on the position of the powerful Qin King Changshi.
"Mr. Gongsun...", Yingquliang solemnly saluted Gongsun Jia, and then greeted Ying Qian and Jing Jian on the side.
Gongsun Jia looked at Shi Li's Yingqu Liang, felt the faint sense of alienation, smiled slightly on his face, and did not speak. Seeing this, the Jing supervisor on the side hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this time the court of the world is guilty of crimes, thanks to Mr. Gongsun."
When Ying Quliang heard this, he suddenly felt strange in his heart, and then thought that it was Jing Jian who wanted to alleviate the embarrassment of the scene, so he did not move, pretended to be moved and said: "Quliang is here, thank you Mr. Gongsun."
As soon as the words fell, Ying Qian, who was upright on the side, immediately stretched out his hand to Yingquliang and said, "Your Majesty, Meng Lang is over." If it weren't for Mr. Gongsun, how could the little soldier who delivered the message be able to rush to the court in such a timely manner? ”。
When Yingquliang heard this, he was also shocked.
Yes, the clan is ready to strangle Wei Kai with all his might, how can he not guard against Wei Kai's backhand? With the identity of the so-called herald, it was impossible to pass through the crowds of people gathered outside the palace under any circumstances.
So, Ying Quliang once again solemnly apologized to Gongsun Jia and said: "Lord Changshi, Quliang Menglang is gone."
Seeing this, Gongsun Jia immediately laughed and said, "Don't take it to heart. But speaking of which, our Chen Cangling is really clever, and Gongsun Jia sighs to himself."
Listening to Gongsun Jia's remarks, the other three people present all agreed very much.
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, from today's point of view, are completely the objects of arbitrary control in his hands, what is to turn decay into magic, what is to strategize, they are a feast for their eyes today.
Not to mention, Wei Kai's anticipation of the enemy is the first, he is calm in the face of trouble, and he uses soldiers like a god, just the 90,000 thieves who were killed by the Qin army by the Chu River, and the military exploits of expanding the territory for hundreds of miles, Wei Kai can be called the honor of a famous general, and Wei Kai is only a teenager who is nearly sixteen years old, and the four people present are shuddering when they think about it now.
Fortunately, Wei persecuted Wei Kai at that time, so that this great talent could be obtained by Qin. Otherwise, when I thought of the Wei army faced by the Qin people, it was the majestic and well-armored Wei warriors led by Wei Kai. Alas, the Qin people are afraid that there will never be peace, and other countries will never have peace.
But now when they think of Wei Kai serving the Qin State, the four people present are also in good spirits. The country has talents, why worry that the country is not prosperous, and the Qin country is not strong?
I want to think that when the king of Zhou got Jiang Taigong, the Zhou country was a land of only a hundred miles; The king of Yue was assisted by Fan Li and Wen Zhong, and the Yue Kingdom was almost destroyed, and they all achieved a great cause in the end, shining through the ages.
Although the Qin State is weak, it is also a land of thousands of miles, and there are only two good talents in the country.
Thinking of this, Ying Quliang suddenly sighed in his heart. Alas, but Wei Kai is unwilling to change the law, if Wei Kai presides over the change of the law, and he and others assist, wouldn't the prosperity of the Qin State be just around the corner?
Looking at Yingquliang, the king of Qin, who was happy and then worried, Gongsun Jia said softly: "Your Majesty, is it a matter of changing the law in the country of sorrow? ”。
Yingquliang looked at Gongsun Jia, who was able to see the voice, with a complicated face, and sighed after a long time: "Alas, Mr. Wei Kai once discussed with me about the change of the law in the Qin State, and said that if the Qin State does not change the law, the country will perish, and Quliang will benefit a lot.
But when Qu Liang wanted Mr. Wei Kai to change the law in my Qin country, Mr. refused in every possible way."
When the other three people sitting around the desk heard this, their faces immediately changed, and they were full of bitter thoughts. Yes, Wei Kai has such a great talent, and he clearly perceives the danger of the Qin State at this time, why is he reluctant to change the law?
Looking at the winning piety that everyone was thinking, there were also many doubts in their hearts. After all, in his dealings with Wei Kai, he could feel that Wei Kai was a sincere gentleman with a pure temperament and talent, and he would definitely not be a person who was secretive and opportunistic.
Otherwise, in the battle of Shaoliang, the Qin army defeated the Wei army during the day, defeated the Gongsun Acne army, and collected the Wei army outside Shaoliang City.
So with a tiger face, he looked at the three of them and said loudly: "If you have anything to say, don't hide it." I think Wei Kai is definitely not that kind of person."
When the other three heard this, their faces immediately turned ugly, but they didn't speak.
Wei Kai's contribution to the Qin State, of course, the other three are very clear, and they can be said to have made great contributions. Not to mention this time, just because Wei Kai was allied with Qi for the sake of the Qin State, Yingquliang was moved for a long time.
The diplomacy of a great power can be easily completed in three or two clicks, and I don't know how many risks and crises there are, but Wei Kai has borne all these dangers alone, and he is not proud of his achievements afterwards, and Yingquliang is even more moved.
Now when Ying Qian says this, isn't it saying that they are speculating on the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? Are you saying that they are insidious and shameless, despicable and indecent, and slander Wei Kai, a sincere gentleman, in their hearts? But Wei Kai has the ability to change the law, but he is unwilling to change the law, which is really strange to everyone.
Just as Ying Qian was about to continue to be angry, Gongsun Jia on the side suddenly laughed.
The other three hurriedly looked at Gongsun Jia, who was laughing, and said eagerly, "Mr. Gongsun, but what did you think of?" ”。 Of course, it's not that the three of them rushed to the hospital and had no ideas, but Gongsun Jia was also a talented person, otherwise he wouldn't have served as a long history for so long.
Gongsun Jia looked at the three of them who were looking at him, and after drinking a cup of tea slowly, he looked at Yingquliang and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what is the change?" ”。
When Ying Quliang heard this, his face changed slightly, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
Yes, what is a change? It seems that he never thought about it, but he was keenly aware of the danger of the Qin State, and his heart was constantly anxious when he saw that the other countries were getting stronger and stronger.
I only know what kind of wealth and strength the Qin State wants to achieve, but this is just a goal, but how can I achieve this? How did the Qin State start to change the law? How to change the law? I don't think I've ever thought about it.
However, Yingquliang is not a vulgar person after all, and after thinking about it for a while, he stared at Gongsun Jia's eyes and said word by word: "To change the law is to eliminate the rule of officials, reform the national law, reorganize the armament, strengthen production, and unite the people."
When Gongsun Jia heard this, he smiled slightly and got up and said, "The king's intentions, Jia already knows."
Looking at Gongsun Jia, who got up and saluted and then closed his eyes and said silently, Ying Quliang hurriedly said anxiously: "Sir, isn't what Quliang said wrong?" Mr. Wang's advice".
When Gongsun Jia heard this, he sighed and said, "Alas, what the king said just now is indeed a strategy to change the law, but this is probably not what Wei Xingxing thinks."
Looking at the three people who were puzzled around, Gongsun Jia no longer sold guanzi, touched his beard, and said slowly: "I looked at Wei Kai and found that he knew the slightest and had great talents, how could such a person think with common sense?"
This time, Wei Kai's killing of the old clan without permission can be described as extremely dangerous, but Wei Kai not only did it with great fanfare, but also made a lot of noise, which shows that there are greater opportunities than dangers, so Wei Kai has to take risks."
As soon as Gongsun Jia's voice fell, he looked at the people who were becoming more and more confused, and continued: "I guess Wei Kai's change may be more dangerous and thorough than the change similar to the Six Kingdoms that the king said just now.
I'm afraid it's not as simple as scraping bones to heal wounds, chopping feet to cure diseases, I'm afraid it's going to be ......."
Looking at the hesitant Gongsun Jia, Yingqu Liang and the other three hurriedly urged him to continue, so Gongsun Jia closed his eyes, as if he had made great determination and said: "I'm afraid that I will be reborn from broken bones, and the furnace will recreate a Qin country."
Ying Quliang hurriedly said: "Quliang is the heart of the Qin State, heaven and earth can be learned, and he is willing to risk any danger to change the law and strengthen the country."
When Gongsun Jia heard this, he immediately laughed, looked at Yingquliang with a firm face, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, for the meaning of the national fist, Gongsun Jia understands, and I think Mr. Wei Kai also understands."
But if the ministers above the court today want to kill most of them because of the change of the law, the princes and families of the Qin State will be miserable from then on, and the corpses are all over the field, I don't know if the king still has the intention to continue to change the law? ”
When Yingquliang and Ying Qian heard this, their faces immediately turned pale.
The Qin State changed the law, and it was necessary to kill so many people and pay such a big price, when I thought of the ministers of the world who turned black and white upside down in the court today, tomorrow they will become ghosts under the sword, and the whole country will be hung with white curtains, corpses are stacked like mountains, and blood flows like rivers, so isn't the Qin State a country that will not be a country?
After looking at the silent Yingqu Liang, Gongsun Jia continued to say loudly: "Hahaha, there are only a few hundred ministers in the court today, and if you kill the king, you will be shocked;
The 90,000 enemy troops outside Changchuan City who were slaughtered by Wei Kai, the tragic situation of blocking the river, covering the field with corpses, and hovering beasts in the sky, wouldn't Wei Kai have to hide in fear? ”。
After a while, Yingqu Liang came back and whispered, "Mr. Wei Kai is really a god."
"Hahahaha, don't worry, this is Gongsun Jia's speculation...
Today, in the court, Mr. Wei Kai did not take advantage of the situation to pursue and wantonly attacked the ministers of the world, which means that Mr. Wei Kai may have found another way to change the law."
Ying Quliang was a little calmer at this time, after all, what Gongsun Jia said just now was really sensational. So he said, "I would like to listen to the gentleman's high opinions."
Gongsun Jia also hesitated at this time, sighed and said, "Gongsun Jia doesn't know either, he can only be vaguely aware."
The three people sitting around suddenly sighed and said, "It's not easy for me to admire Mr. to have this explanation."
"However, I think that this change in the court of the ministers of the world is not only a test for Wei Kai for the ministers of the world, but also a test for the king", Gongsun Jia raised his hand and drank a few cups of tea, and suddenly his thoughts suddenly came to him, and he looked at Yingquliang with a strange smile and said.
When Yingqu Liang heard this, he was reminded by Gongsun Jia Yi at this time, and immediately understood something, and smiled bitterly.
After all, if Yingquliang was above the court and was forced to agree to the request of the world clan due to the pressure of the world, then I am afraid it would inevitably make Wei Kai see Yingquliang's true intention to change the law and strengthen the country.
At that time, I am afraid that not only will Wei Kai not be able to sincerely change the law, but also force Wei Kai to leave the Qin State and flee to other countries, and the Qin State will lose a great talent.
The king does not know the minister, and the minister does not know the king, this is a taboo in the country.
