Chapter 62: Despair
was rejected so bluntly by Li Si, Zhao Jiaxin gradually sank to the bottom.
He could see from Li Si's attitude that the other party was really unwilling to go to Zhao State, rather than deliberately manipulating.
"With the talent of a gentleman, why should he assist a strong Qin and a weak country, he can completely help a weak country and resist a strong Qin."
"Although Zhao had the defeat of Changping, but this time Poyan made a lot of gains, and the population, money and food were innumerable, even if he could not restore the grand occasion of ten years ago, he also had the trend of Zhongxing."
"With the unyielding of Zhao Ren and the talent of Mr., why don't you want to try to go against the sky and change the world?"
Zhao Jia looked at Li Si with eager eyes.
Even though the other party had already expressed his determination not to join Zhao, Zhao Jia also wanted to try as much as possible and bring this person under his command.
Looking at the eagerness in Zhao Jia's eyes, although Li Si was moved in his heart, he thought of Zhao Guo's current situation, and his belief was not shaken after all.
"Qin Zhiqiang is not in one dynasty and one dynasty, but for the accumulation of several generations."
"Since the Shang Emperor changed the law, the six countries of Kwantung have become weaker and weaker the more they fight, and only the Qin State has become stronger and stronger."
"The territory of today's Qin occupies half of the world, and it has the potential to swallow the world, and this time is also."
"Qin is about the fertile land in the middle, and there is also the land of Bashu, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the war with the other countries is lost, the land can also be protected, and this place is also advantageous."
"On the other hand, in the Six Kingdoms, most of the territories were seized by the Qin State, and there were frequent frictions between the countries, and the Zhao State was even more of a place for four wars."
"Qin's laws and regulations are strict, no matter how big or small, all are based on the law, the domestic order is orderly, and the division of labor among the people is clear."
"Qin rewards cultivation and warfare, the whole people are martial, everyone has the heart to fight, and there are countless people who want to make meritorious contributions, and this person is also."
"Qiang Qin occupies the time, place, and people, if there is another Ming monarch, even if all the countries work together, what can they do?"
Subsequently, Li Si began to tell about the state of Qin.
Li Si spoke for more than an hour, elaborating on the advantages of the Qin State from the aspects of politics, economy, military, system, and employment.
The more Zhao Jia listened, the paler his face became, and finally he had a deep sense of powerlessness.
He did know that in history, the Qin State had unified the world, but he had never analyzed the Qin State in such detail as Li Si, and he didn't know that the original Qin State swept the countries to unify the world, which was not an accidental factor, but an inevitability.
Qin Zhiqiang's strength does not lie in a certain Ming monarch, but in its rigorous and almost harsh system.
If you use the words of later generations to describe it, the Qin State is the kind of outright ****, but compared with the **** country that will only expand wildly in later generations, the Qin State has a more perfect governance of the country and a more stable rule.
Qin's economy and territory were also enough to support its expansion, so there was no need to worry about the lack of succession.
In this way, the Qin State, even if there is no ancestral dragon Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, may delay the unification time, but as long as there is another Ming monarch, it is very likely to complete the feat accomplished by Yingzheng.
Once, Zhao Jia always felt that he was a traverser, and with his familiarity with history, he might be able to turn the situation around at a critical time, and eventually make Zhao stronger and stronger, and even destroy Qin.
It's a pity that Li Si's words made Zhao Jia feel enlightened, knowing how naïve his previous thoughts were.
Zhao Jia gritted his teeth and listened carefully to Li Si's words.
After Li Si finally finished speaking, Zhao Jia suddenly got up and came to Li Si, first knelt down and sat down, and then knelt on the ground to bow.
"Childe, please get up!"
Seeing this, Li Si hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhao Jia, wanting to pull him up.
However, Zhao Jia has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, although he is less than twenty years old, he already has good strength, and his iron heart is on the ground, even if Li Si uses all his strength, Zhao Jia's body is still immovable.
"Sir."
"Jia also knows that the Qin State is strong, not only because it has a Ming monarch, but because the general trend is like this."
"Ran Jia is the eldest grandson of King Zhao, how can he watch the enemy country become stronger and the Zhao country weaker?"
"In the past, when Qin Xiaogong first ascended to the throne of the monarch, Qin was only a small country in the West, and it was despised by the six countries, and no scholars from the six countries went to Qin, and Qin was almost divided by the six countries."
"Qin Yu can still change his law and become strong in such adversity, and rise like a bright nebula, why not? Only because the country has a virtuous monarch, the monarch has to meet the virtuous minister, the monarch and the minister are suitable, and the two work hard, so that there will be a strong day. ”
"Jia Bucai, but also thirsty for talent, if Mr. is willing to follow me into Zhao, he will share Zhao with Mr. in the future, Mr. heirs, will always enjoy the blessings!"
It was the norm for the ancients to kneel on the ground, but it was not common for Zhao Jia to bow on the ground with his face on the ground.
It is even more impossible for a person with a noble status to make such a gesture.
But now, Zhao Jiagui is the eldest grandson of King Zhao, and he actually gave such a big gift to Li Si in such a cloth dress, which shows his desire to seek talent.
"Childe, why bother!"
As the saying goes: A man dies for his confidant.
Even if Li Si is the kind of thorough egoist, seeing Zhao Jia behave like this, his heart is extremely moved.
Unfortunately, he has his own concerns and considerations.
Li Si saw that he couldn't help Zhao Jia up, so he simply knelt down in front of Zhao Jia, and then sighed: "Although the Qin State was weak during the time of Qin Xiaogong, it was in a safe corner, and the countries may not be able to really look at the territory of the Qin State. ”
"And at that time, when the countries were changing the law, it was a time of turmoil, Qin Xiaogong had the courage to entrust Shang Jun with the fate of the whole country, and Shang Jun was a rare genius in a hundred years, so that Qin was strong."
"On the other hand, Zhao State, now that Ling Zu is in power, even if I go to Zhao State, I can only be a guest under the command of Gongzi."
"Even if Ling Zu is a hundred years later, there will also be Ling Zun to inherit the throne of King Zhao, when will it be the turn of the son?"
"With the strength of the Qin State, we really have to wait until the prince ascends the throne before reusing Li Si, even if the prince is as virtuous as the Duke of Qin, and Li Si is like a businessman, it will be difficult to save the momentum of the Guangsha!"
"Besides, Li Si heard that Ling Zun dotes on his young son and does not want to see his son, even if Ling Zun is the king in the future, after decades, the son may not be able to inherit the throne."
"In this way, how can we talk about Zhongxing Zhao Guozhi?"
Hearing Li Si's heartfelt words, Zhao Jia finally raised his head, but his eyes were full of disgrace.
He knew that his actions had indeed impressed Lees.
It's a pity that as Li Si said, even if Li Si follows Zhao Jia into Zhao, can he quickly become a high position?
No way!
Zhao Guoruo is not like the Qin State, the monarch of the Qin State treats unknown people like Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, and Fan Sui, and can appoint people as virtuous and trust them with the fortune of the country.
It's a pity that there are many nobles in the Zhao Kingdom, and there are many factions in the court, even if they will bring in famous people, most of them only borrow their names, not their talents.
seems to be a virtuous person like Le Yi, after escaping into the Zhao Kingdom, King Zhao only used his name, not his person.
As for unknown people like Li Si who have a bad background, no matter how much Zhao Jia recommends him, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the Zhao Dynasty.
Not to mention that King Zhao, Zhao Yan and Zhao Guowenchen disagreed, even if it was the general Lian Po, I am afraid that he would be repulsed.
At this time, Zhao Jia seemed to understand a little why the Qin State was so famous in the past dynasties.
It's not that there are no virtuous ministers in the world, but the nations refuse to use their ears.
In this way, if the six countries do not change their laws and make fundamental changes, how can they compete with the Qin State?
Thinking of everything Li Si said, Zhao Jia suddenly felt a trace of despair in his heart.
"Could it be that Zhao Guo really can't escape the fate of the country?"
