Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Waves Are Calm and the Wind is Calm
"Teacher, teacher".
Gan Long, who had just fallen asleep, heard his son Gan Ping tell him that Du Zhi, the middle doctor, asked to see him. Before Gan Long could get dressed, he heard Du Zhi's anxious voice.
With the help of the maid, Gan Long, who was barely dressed, saw Du Zhi with a panicked expression before he could get up.
"Teacher, no... No.. Good".
Gan Long looked at Du Zhi, who was panting, and said with a displeased expression, "What's wrong?" So flustered? Then he motioned for the maids on the left and right to step back, leaving his son Gan Ping to continue to help him dress.
Gan Long has always been gloomy and accustomed to sneaky, but on the surface, he tries his best to be a righteous gentleman in Confucianism. Seeing his disciple Du Zhi like this, he didn't have the strength of a superior person at all, and he was very angry in his heart. However, Du Zhi's appearance also shows that something big has happened, so he retreated.
"Teacher, Xinjun .....", Du Zhi ran all the way, looking at Gan Long in front of the bed and wanted to say but couldn't say it.
"What's wrong? Gan Ping, you ....."
Taking a glass of water handed over by Gan Ping, Du Zhi hurriedly said, "Thank you, Gongzi.....", gulped down and continued: "Teacher, Jun has transferred Su An to General Liyang, and the chariot is General Hanguguan. The official document has been sent to the national government, and the ministers of the world are now quarrelling...".
Looking at Du Zhi, who was disgruntled after speaking, Gan Long squinted his eyes and said, "The monarch has the power to mobilize all personnel in Qin, so there is no need to make a fuss."
"But this has always been in the hands of our family......."
"Shut up, what is called the mastery of the world. That's the first gentleman to promote talents, arranged according to talents", before Du Zhi finished speaking, Gan Long interrupted quickly.
When Du Zhi heard Gan Long's scolding, he didn't dare to say anything further. He rolled up his sleeves, looked at Gan Long, who was pretending to be angry, and whispered, "Teacher, but now it's ...... to us."
"We do our duty for the country, what is there to worry about. I'm afraid someone won't be able to sleep," Gan Long said after glancing at Du Zhi.
"Yes, teacher", Du Zhi listened to what Gan Long said, and then recalled the majesty of his teacher Gan Long when he was awarded the title of Taifu in the court today, and suddenly relieved his heart.
"People must be responsible for what they do, and they can't act recklessly", listening to Gan Long's serious words, Du Zhi hurriedly stood up, saluted to Gan Long and said, "The disciple has been taught."
It is unwise to pass without knowing it; To know but not to change is to be brave. Du Zhi understands the meaning of this sentence very well, but not everyone can make the right decision in the face of interests.
The Shi clan gathered private soldiers to attack Wei Kai, and this matter may have been learned only this morning for the people on Liyang Street. However, for people like Gan Long Du Zhi, they already knew about it as early as they had this thought.
There was neither a block, nor an involvement. Gan Long's party is like a fisherman in a battle between snipe and clam fighting, quietly waiting for the two sides to fight, obviously Ganlong and their bet was right this time, and they got the title of Taifu for nothing. It's just that it is unknown whether it will be able to keep making profits like this all the time.
Although Ganlong Du Zhi is also a clan, they are not fully recognized by the native clans of Qin. When it comes to interests, foul language such as "Shandong traitor" often comes out of the old family of Qin. Although they didn't care about Gan Long Du Zhi and his party, after a long time, they inevitably left a mustard in their hearts.
In particular, the new clan supported Qin Xiangong to carry out a new policy and establish the new capital of Liyang, and the contradictions between the old and new clans gradually increased. It's just that due to the weakness of the Qin state itself, there was no large-scale fighting.
This time, the teacher Gan Long was awarded the title of Taishi by the new monarch, and those old clans all had a lot of complaints, secretly saying that Gan Long was an old turtle and was blessed, and that he was a thief when he was old and immortal. Du Zhi has long been accustomed to this, but it does not mean that when he can step on the old family, Du Zhi can let go of this opportunity.
In addition, this attack, Gan Long Du Zhi and they are also happy to see, after all, it can not only weaken the old clan, but also probe the tone of the new monarch, why not?
But it was different for the old clan, Wei Kai led the army to be stationed in Chencang, like a fish bone straight into Yongcheng, which made the old clan how could they bear it.
As the interests of the old and new clans in the Qin State were gradually divided, the old clans, who were only keen on land and population, gradually fell into disadvantage. In the course of the struggle, the secret slave trade became the main source of their wealth.
Wei Kai's appointment as Chen Cangling meant that their road to wealth was cut off immediately. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, how can the old family, who has always been greedy, endure it?
As for the reason why the former king endured the slave trade, it was because Qin was worried about internal and external troubles at that time, and he could only maintain the stability of his country through continuous external wars. But war requires a population, and although the smuggling of the old clan is not tolerated by the new policy, Qin Xiangong is also happy to see it.
Now that Wei Kai's strategy of non-alliance and alliance is being implemented, the external environment of the Qin State is relatively stable. Only by seizing the time now to sort out the internal affairs and implement changes can the Qin State not be eliminated in the next competition for hegemony among the countries. Then, the slave human trade that caused the chaos of the Qin State would naturally be banned.
The state of Qin.
"How could you be so sloppy?" , a minister of the clan saw the letter of appointment sent by the Qin Palace.
"Yes, yes, the general's transfer of position is not only a matter of merit, but also of qualifications...", another minister chimed in.
"How's that good?"
"Yes, yes, this ......"
At this time, in the palace of the Qin State, all the ministers of the clan sighed and did not speak. However, they fell into deep fear in their hearts. Although the dead soldiers who attacked Wei Kai were privately summoned by the ministers of the clan, Wei Kai did not intend to hide the news of the annihilation of the black-clothed dead soldiers. One day after Yingquliang got the report from the car dealership, the news finally reached the ears of the old clans.
Originally, after the old clan planned to assassinate Wei Kai, they would throw out a few slave traders from the Six Kingdoms of Shandong as scapegoats to appease the anger of the new monarch. Today, Yingqu Liang's respect for the old lady Gan Long suddenly gave the ministers of the world confidence in bearing the anger of the new monarch.
But now that the news of the annihilation of the dead soldiers, coupled with the transfer of the generals, how can the old clan not be afraid? Having lost the position of Liyang general, they suddenly became fish and meat on the chopping board of the new monarch. Now I can still discuss matters in the national government, and I may be dragged out and executed when I return home.
Just when the ministers were at a loss, they suddenly said: "Master Taishi?" Master Taishi will not ......."
"Yes, Master Taishi."
"Yes, yes, let's go to Master Taishi together. Master Taishi is ....... as a master of the Taifu".
Subsequently, the ministers of the clan, who were originally panicked because of the transfer of General Liyang, suddenly recovered their vitality and planned to prepare to go to the old lady's Ganlong Mansion to seek the help of the old lady.
However, two or three of the ministers who insulted Gan Long suddenly looked bad, but when they thought of this crisis, they were also ready to eat this bitter fruit and wait for the crisis to pass.
"Old Ganlong, it's really hateful.....".
"This time, there is no way....".
"Forget it, forget it......".
These few whispers were immediately drowned out by the compliments of the ministers of the world, who seemed to be saved.
"The old lady is an example to my family, and she will not abandon us."
"That's right, Master Taishi will definitely be able to make my king change his mind, so as not to cause chaos in the Qin Kingdom."
At this time, a sweaty minister hurriedly ran in with an official document, looked at the people in front of him with a frightened face, and said mournfully: "Master Taishi, agreed."
Then, the sheepskin engraved with the special symbol of the Taishifu appeared in front of him, and the ministers of the clan looked at the big word "Yun" on it in shock.
"Old Ganlong, it's really hateful", after seeing the word "Yun", the minister of the clan who was about to go to the Taishi Mansion to be humiliated could no longer bear his anger and shouted loudly. Everyone who was originally surprised sighed when they saw the minister with a hideous face because of anger, how can this be good?
Issued by the monarch and allowed by the Taishi, this transfer cannot be changed.
At this time, Yingquliang, who had been waiting in the Qin Palace for a long time, finally waited for the official document from the government, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to the Jing Jian next to him: "You are also tired, go back and rest more." When Jing Jian saw Yingquliang with a relaxed expression, he was also very happy in his heart, so he retreated.
This time to lure the snake out of the hole was Wei Kai's last plan for Yingquliang when he left Liyang.
Now the external Qin State is temporarily unable to start a war because all countries are licking the wounds of the last war, and internally, because of this plan, the gap between the clans has become even greater.
"Just wait for the virtuous to enter Qin, and strive to change the law", Yingquliang held the official document in his hand, looked at the moon outside the window and thought to himself.
Wei State, Shunde Palace.
With the death of her husband and grandson, the court of Wei changed again.
The original position of Xiangguo had long been removed, and Wei Wangying looked at the ministers kneeling in the hall, and felt the honor of being a king for the first time.
The king wants to be the only one in the world, unique.
In the past, Gongsun Acne was the Xiangguo, and the King of Wei had to give a seat every time to show his favor to Gongsun Acne, so that above the court, the King of Wei and Xiangguo sat side by side, and the officials knelt down, and the King of Wei always felt extremely awkward.
Now, looking at the people in the palace, King Wei's heart suddenly surged, he was finally the king who was on top, and he no longer had to be accused by his husband and grandson.
"Secretaries, please get up".
"Thank you to my king, my king for ten thousand years, Wei for ten thousand years."
"Ladies and gentlemen, what's going on?".
"Qi my king, this time the Qin State invaded my Hexi, regardless of the life and death of the people on the border between the two countries, and made a killing. I hope that my king can come out of the king's division and avenge my innocent death", as soon as the words fell, the minister knelt down and begged for his life.
Without waiting for Wei Wangying to respond, Gongsun of the Ministry of War hurriedly came out and said: "My king must not listen to the words of the villain. Now, our army has not yet received its heart, the soldiers are tired, and the surrounding countries are eyeing each other. My king must not use any more troops, but should stabilize the foundation of the country and wait for the opportune time."
When the kneeling minister heard this, he hurriedly pointed at Gongsun and said angrily, "You ......."
Wei Wangying smiled and looked at the arguments of the ministers in the palace, this is what he wanted. But this time is obviously different, and the corners of King Wei's mouth crooked smiled.
