Chapter 59: The Sixth Policy

All the temple people serving in the main dormitory have retreated to the outside of the dormitory, only Changjiang and a few of his henchmen are guarding the front of the steps. Whoever comes to him is sent with the words, 'The king is in peace.'" In the Yan Dynasty, after listening to the policy of the Empress Dowager Huayang, the Sanlu doctor Qu Sui was overjoyed, this is the sixth strategy to save the Chu State: with the concubine born to the princess of the Chu State as the King of Qin, and then there are Chu ministers like Xiong Qi, the Chu State will survive.

"No, it's too late!" Xiong Jing shook his head. He knows history, Qin King Zhao Zheng is Qin Shi Huang, and the world has been unified for many years when he died.

"Why is the king late? When Princess Qi gave birth to a son-in-law, Qin and Qin Wang had their own son-in-law to ascend the throne, and Qin had a son to run the government, and my country and Qin ......" stammered and did not understand the meaning of Xiongjing.

"When King Qin was king, the six kingdoms had been destroyed, and the world had been unified." Xiong Jing didn't know how to explain the history that had happened, which was by no means something that 'born to know' could explain clearly, and he affirmed: "The state of Chu can't wait for that time." ”

"If you ......" Yang Wenjun and Xiong Qi glanced at each other, and said in a deep voice: "If you assassinate the King of Qin before the Qin State destroys Zhao, and then Zi Qi helps the princess and her son-in-law ascend the throne, does the king think it's okay?" ”

Qu Sui is a nobleman after all, and he was shocked by Yang Wenjun's assassination plot to open his mouth wide, Xiong Qi has a bitter face, he gets along with Qin Dynasty every day, no matter how much there is always some affection. It's just that the most worthless thing in the Qin Palace is affection, and he immediately said: "If it is really too late as the king said, Xiong Qi is willing to do this." ”

"No way!" Xiong Jing continued to shake his head.

"Why not?" Yang Wenjun was surprised, "Since the king calls himself a barbarian, why should he be confined to the benevolence of a woman? The ministers heard that the ancients competed for morality, the Middle Ages pursued wisdom, and today competed for strength; Between success and failure, it is all about resourcefulness and means......"

Yang Wenjun's cheeks are thin and his skin is a little sallow. More than 20 years ago, he knew how to use stratagem to seize the throne, and after more than 20 years, he could naturally resist Qin by assassination, Xiong Jing looked at his anxious appearance of trying to convince himself, and suddenly felt a little disgusted.

"Even if you assassinate King Qin, you can't have anything to do with your brother!" Xiong Jing interrupted him, and Xiong Qi's heart warmed when he said this. "Besides, marrying a concubine to the king of Qin is a weak move of the Chu State, and the matter of the war, the Chu army is bound to win, what reason does the Chu State marry the princess in the Qin State? If the Qin army is defeated, won't the elder brother summon the King of Qin to blame? ”

"About the war, when I return to Xianyang to resume my life, I can bluntly say that this battle will be lost. The Qin people are warlike, and they have to go upstream, so they will send the boat division into Chu to fight. The marriage was not a weak move of the Chu State, and the former monarch Xiang Wang married the Qin woman not strong, but weak. Chu Jun wins, the king of Qin is afraid, and he is afraid that Chu Fang values the marriage of Qin and Chu, and values the princess and concubine as the eldest son. ”

After Xiong Qi finished speaking, he was worried that his younger brother was too pedantic, and then said: "Brother Wang, please know: the Qin people do not value faith and righteousness, but only utilitarianism, and only fear the strong and do not sympathize with the weak." The stronger the Chu army, the more capable the cousin can be at the Qin court. Although Yang Wenjun's policy is unjust, it is the most feasible, please ask Brother Wang to do it. ”

"It won't be that easy!" Xiong Jing still shook his head. In later generations, there is a saying called 'the son of the face', who was born as a man who blocks and kills, and God who blocks and kills God. The son of the face of this era is obviously Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, not Xiong Jing, the king of Chu, if assassination can solve the problem, then why war? But thinking that this strategy might take more than a few decades for the Chu State, he had to agree.

"If you do this, you will be alone, and you will have nothing to do with your brother." He said. "From today onwards, my brother will only contact me, and he must not contact other princes of the Chu State, nor will he have to pass on the news of the Qin State. Qu Qing and Yang Wenjun, is this matter only known to us and the other three in the Chu State? ”

"Since there are only three of us, if my brother is convicted......" Xiong Jing, who received an affirmative reply, said again, the meaning is self-evident.

"The minister will keep this secret, and the violator will ask the king to punish the clan!" Qu Sui and Yang Wenjun didn't wait for Xiong Jing to speak, and then solemnly said. It's just that after saying this, Yang Wenjun said again: "The minister has a matter, please ask the king for permission." ”

"You say." Xiong Jing didn't know what he was asking for.

"Since the ministers entered Ying, they have all spoken and Qin. In this case, after making peace with Qin, he asked the king to take the minister as the order Yin, so as to confuse Qin. ”

Yang Wenjun's request was first discussed with Qu Sui and Xiong Qi, and after he made this request, Xiong Qi also said: "Aunt Su Chongyang Wenjun, please reuse it with Brother Wang." ”

Qu Sui looked at it with blank eyes, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious. Xiong Jing was surprised in his heart, but looked at Xiong Qi very sincerely: "What if King Qin is stabbed and not dead?" To press the entire state of Chu on top of the assassination of Qin, I don't want to, I don't dare. Before meeting my brother, I consulted with the ministers, and the state of Chu rejected Qin, not outside but inside......"

"Inside?" Xiong Qi also looked at Xiong Jing, he could feel the sincerity behind those dark eyes.

"It's hard to put into words." Xiong Jing didn't know how to open his mouth. "It is impossible to attack Qin together, and the state of Chu can only change dramatically. If it is only to maintain the current situation, it is natural to take Yang Wenjun as the order Yin, but the big change has started, and suddenly with Yang Wenjun as the order Yin, the rest of the courtiers will have a dislike heart, which is not conducive to the matter. It's better to take Yang Wenjun as Dazai, how about it? ”

"Dazai?" The Dazai of the State of Chu was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, responsible for envoys, receptions and other affairs. This naturally cannot be compared with Ling Yin, when Huang Xie was appointed Ling Yin, the people only knew that there was Ling Yin but did not know that there was the King of Chu.

"Ling Yin is either Zhao Huang or Nao is cunning," Xiong Jing said bluntly. "However, Zhaoxiao is a civil minister, and the Chu State will have many wars in the future, and I am afraid that Nao is cunning. Although this matter was not explicitly stated, the ministers knew my intentions and it was not appropriate to change it. ”

"If that's the case," Xiong Jing said bluntly to this point, Xiong Qi could only look at Yang Wenjun. "Can you give in?"

"In that case, the minister is willing to be Dazai." Yang Wenjun bowed. Xiong Jing couldn't see his face, but he could feel his disappointment.

"My brother also has something to ask my brother?" Xiong Jing also remembered one thing. "The great engineer Ou Chou was captured by the Marquis of Qin, although he jumped ship and was rescued by the Zhao envoy, but his family is said to have been sent to Xianyang ......"

"It is true." As the right prime minister, Xiong Qi can naturally see the Hou Hou's report. "Brother Wang wants to go back to Ou Chou's family?"

"Exactly. This is also one of the conditions for reconciliation. Xiong Jingdao, he had seen Ou Chou and promised that he would ask the Qin envoy for his family.

"This matter is not difficult, but please do not publicize this matter, and it is difficult to deal with it." Ou Chou ran away, and it was useless to keep his family, but Qin Guo would never admit that such a thing had happened. Xiong Qi also remembered one thing: "May I ask Brother Wang, can converter steelmaking be successful?" Shaofu is also in the trial......"

"Shaofu is also trying?!" Xiong Jing's eyes widened, Shaofu is the Shaofu of Qin State, and it is in Xianyang.

"Exactly." Xiong Qi sold the Qin State in an understatement. "There are many marquis of the Qin State, and Yan Wuyi, the great son of the Mo family, is the great engineer of the Qin Shaofu, and he is responsible for all the military equipment of the Qin State. Among the craftsmen of the six countries of the Kwantung region, there are many ink writers, and the converter of the Chu State has not yet been tested, and the Shaofu has been reported. The benefits of the iron are unstoppable in the world, and my brother is worried about ......"

Xiong Qi initially hoped that the Qin State would refine the Giant Iron, but after knowing the truth of the Battle of Qingshui, he was worried that the Qin army equipped with the Huge Soldiers would destroy the Chu State - the Chu army was indeed too weak.

"Maybe you can try to make the Shaofu converter bigger, no, my Chu State will build a big one first." Xiong Jing mused.

"Big?" Xiong Qi was puzzled. He felt that the cradle-like converter was already very large.

"King, the minister will retire first." Qu Sui saw that the two still had something to discuss, so he wanted to avoid Yang Wenjun.

"Then retreat to the side room." Xiong Jing wanted to shout Chang Jiang, only to find that there was no one in the Yan Dynasty.

"Why does Brother Wang want to make it big?" After the two retreated, Xiong Qi continued to ask.

"Converter steelmaking, blowing with gas. Although hundreds of people blew the wind, the wind was not enough. The converter is not windy enough, and it will explode when the furnace is shaken. "Xiong Jing can imagine the scene of the converter explosion, 1,600 degrees of molten iron flying everywhere, maybe the Mo family will die." When the brother is blowing, he asks people to watch, but when he shakes the stove, he must go to the toilet to avoid it. ”

"Explosion?" Of course, Xiong Qi didn't know what the scene of the furnace explosion was.

"That's it...... Like thunder and lightning, red-hot molten iron splashes everywhere, and people die when they get wet. After Xiong Jing explained the explosion, he suddenly felt that the two of them would not meet again in this life after meeting this time, and he was speechless in an instant, and he was reluctant to look at Xiong Qi. As soon as the father left, a brother fell from the sky, and he was still the right prime minister above 10,000 people under the Qin State, is this a dream.

"Brother Wang?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiong Qi couldn't help asking.

"When will we meet again?" Xiong Jing sighed.

"If the mother country exists, it will naturally meet again. If my mother country dies, I will die for my country. Xiong Qi was free and easy, and he took out a stack of brocade silk from his arms, "These are all the secrets of the Qin State, divided into the bureau, ministers, concubines, generals, years of income, Dingkou, cattle and horses, equipment...... Qin's domestic affairs are all on silk. Xiong Qi was smiling, he suddenly thought of Mi Xuan, "This is a transcription of Xuan Girl, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't dare to give it to others." ”

The handwriting on the brocade silk is small and beautiful, and it is full of Chu characters. Xiong Jing couldn't be moved by himself, but he was an adult after all, so he couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Girl?" ”

"It's the great-granddaughter of Huayang Jun Qirong, she is very smart, and her aunt loves her." Speaking of Mi Xuan, Xiong Qi smiled even more, "My aunt is worried that you are confused by Zhao Nu, and she wants to send her back to her home country to accompany you." ”

"Zhao Nu?" Xiong Jing thought of the queen mother, and then thought of the regent meaning she showed that day, could it also be Zhao Guo......

"You are still too young to marry a wife, and my aunt originally wanted you to marry a princess of Qin to suppress the Zhao girl in the palace." After Xiong Qi finished speaking, he didn't want to talk about these family matters anymore, he asked: "What does Brother Wang want, Brother Shu will definitely live up to his trust." ”

"Requested?" The moment he got the brocade silk, one thing jumped out of Xiong Jing's mind: counterattack. At this time, Xiong Qi asked, he no longer hesitated: "I want the city defense map of Nanyang County and Nanjun, and I also want to know the situation of the warehouses, treasury and transportation of each city, and I also want to ...... in Nanjun in the next few years" said here Xiong Jing took out a piece of paper, "...... Spread this thing in the township of Nangun. ”

"This thing?" The yellow paper Xiong Qi has never seen it, and the words on it are clearly visible.

"I want to tell them that they are originally Chu people!" Xiong Jing's eyes were a little genuine, he wanted to recapture the Chu people there no matter what.
