Chapter 896: Wang Jian Controversy (Second Update)
As soon as Lu Buwei's voice fell, everyone's eyes focused on Qin Wang Chu.
Although the political struggle between Lü Buwei and Cai Ze did cause internal friction in Qin to a certain extent, it was very beneficial to the establishment of the prestige of Qin Wang Chu.
The so-called power, in detail, is nothing more than who can make decisions.
Whoever is the one who makes the final decision will be able to have the ability to make the final decision.
The power of the monarch and the power of the subjects are opposed at all times, because there are so many important things that a country can decide, and the more the courtiers decide, then the king will decide less, so the monarchy will begin to be weakened, and the power of the subjects will become stronger.
If this situation continues, it will eventually evolve into a situation like the three families dividing into Jin or the Tian family.
Therefore, in order to compete with the power of the courtiers, the kings will consciously create some antagonism among their courtiers, so that the power of the subjects will divide themselves.
When the power of the courtiers is divided and the constant infighting begins under the guidance of the king, then the power of the courtiers will fall into a process of self-internal friction, and the power of the king will naturally become stable.
This is one of the reasons why there have been many traitors in history, and many emperors have tolerated traitors, because kings need a division of their subjects.
Today's Qin State is the best portrayal of this situation.
Among the people, in fact, many people were quite dissatisfied with Lü Buwei, and Lü Buwei's resolute pursuit of recuperation was regarded by many old Qin people as a policy of appeasement, a humiliating peace of bowing to the Zhao people.
Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the old Qin people have been strong for more than a hundred years.
In the past hundred years, although there have been occasional big defeats such as the Battle of Hangu Pass or the Battle of Yanhe, on the whole, the momentum of the Qin State has been constantly upward, and it is a high-spirited, majestic, and progressive curve.
This led to a situation where the old Qin people were very confident.
Although it has been almost ten years since the Battle of Changping, and the Qin State has fallen from the peak for almost ten years, the backbone of the old Qin people has not been broken, and there are still many old Qin people who are proud and confident, and they stubbornly believe that it is only a matter of time before they win the Zhao State.
This part of the stubborn old Qin people hated Lü Buwei to the core, and they were Cai Ze's biggest supporters.
But there are also some old Qin people, who are somewhat frightened by the Zhao State, thinking that the Zhao State is indeed the object that the Qin State cannot compete with now, and that the Qin State must swallow their anger and wait for the arrival of the decline period of the Zhao State;
Others believe that Qin actually has the potential to defeat Zhao, but since Qin has lost too much in the past few years, it will take some time to recover, and it is best to make peace with Zhao before that.
These people were supporters of Lü Buwei.
Therefore, the current Qin State has in fact produced two different political views and thoughts, and these two factions are completely opposite, so fierce conflict is inevitable.
Although this split allowed Qin Wang Chu to firmly grasp the supreme power, it also laid the root cause.
This kind of bane has fermented to the present, and it has completely made the political struggle in the political arena of the Qin State completely alive.
Whatever Lü Buwei approves, Cai Ze will definitely oppose, no matter whether this opposition is right or wrong, and whether it is beneficial or unfavorable to the Qin state.
And the reverse is the same, as long as Cai Ze brings up something, Lu Buwei will definitely do his best to stop it.
Under such circumstances, Qin Wang Chu didn't even know which side was right and which side was wrong.
But fortunately, Qin Wang Chu also has a way.
After all, in the political arena of the Qin State, there are not only civil officials such as Lü Buwei and Cai Ze.
"Wang Qian!"
Wang Jian came out in response and saluted respectfully towards Qin Wang Chu: "The minister is here!"
Qin Wang Chu looked directly at Wang Qian: "Tell me, do you want to fight this battle!"
Since Wei Ran was expelled, the military of the Qin State has basically been a faction of its own, and there is little intersection with the Wenchens.
The previous military power was mainly in the hands of the Sima clan and the Bai clan, but in recent years, with the alternation of Wang Ji and Wang Ling, the Wang family has become the largest military family in the Qin State.
These families of military merit are intertwined in the army, and they are the people who know the Qin army's combat effectiveness best, and they are also the people who know the thoughts of the army's officers and soldiers.
Whether the army can fight or not, whether it dares to fight, these questions need to be answered by Qin Wang Chu from Wang Qian's mouth.
Regarding the question of Qin Wang Chu, Wang Jian almost without thinking, and said loudly: "Great King, the minister thinks that this battle must be fought!"
Qin Wang Chu's eyes flickered slightly, and then said, "Why is this?"
Wang Jian said: ""Great King, with all due respect, Wu Chengjun's opinion is actually very good, and the current Great Qin army is indeed not the opponent of the Zhao army."
As soon as Wang Qian's words came out, there was a commotion in the hall, and even Qin Wang Chu's face couldn't help but change.
Although we all know that this is the truth, sometimes it is the truth that hurts people even more!
Wang Jian didn't seem to see everyone's faces, but continued: "If it was ten years ago when the Great King asked the minister, the minister would definitely support Wu Chengjun's idea and temporarily ceased war with the Zhao State first, so as to wait for the Great Qin to fully recover its strength to compete with the Zhao State. But the problem is that the current Great Qin doesn't have such time!"
"Now that the army of Zhao is pressing, it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the people of Zhao in terms of the combat strength of Qi State, if Great Qin does not contain Zhao State from the west, then Qi State will definitely be destroyed."
"Once the State of Qi falls, it is very likely that the State of Chu will follow. And even if Great Qin sat back and watched the destruction of Qi and Chu, he would only be able to buy two years for Great Qin at most. Two years is far from enough time to make up for the gap between Great Qin and Zhao now!"
"Therefore, the minister believes that Daqin must take the initiative to attack, and launch an offensive on the western border of Zhao when the main force of Zhao is far away in the east to attack Qi, once it can achieve some victories, firstly, the confidence of the Great Qin soldiers and the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly improved, and secondly, it will also make Zhao suffer from the enemy on both sides and contain the energy of the people of Zhao."
"If the king can still persuade the Chu army to go north, then the situation of the Three Kingdoms against Zhao will not necessarily be so bad!"
Wang Qian's words were subdued and frustrated, which was very infectious, making many of the ministers of the Qin State present nod secretly.
Lu Buwei had a bad heart, and hurriedly spoke: "General Wang Qian, don't forget, what if the people of Zhao come to attack Guanzhong while you are leading the army eastward?"
Wang Jian glanced at Lu Buwei and said with a smile: "Wu Chengjun, don't forget, Li Mu has now gone to attack the Qi State."
"Okay, no need to say anything." Qin Wang Chu interrupted everyone's words: "The widow has already decided, so take Wang Jian as the main general and lead the army to attack the Zhao State!"
Qin Wang Chu finally chose to believe Wang Qian, in addition to the fact that Wang Jian really moved Qin Wang Chu when he said it, there is a more important point.
In the past few years, Wang Jian is the only general of the Qin State who has not failed when facing Li Mu as the main general!
Although Wang Jian did not defeat Li Mu, just a draw was enough for Qin Wang Chu to give great trust to Wang Qian.
What's more, now that Zhao Guo is in charge of guarding the west, it is Pang Xuan, and Qin Wang Chu doesn't think that Pang Xuan is stronger than Li Mu.
In this way, Wang Qian, who can make a draw with Li Mu, may be able to defeat Pang Xuan!
Qin Wang Chu's eyes looked at Wang Jian with an extremely earnest sense of encouragement: "General Wang Qian, this time, the widow and the Great Qin will all look up to you!"
