Chapter 743: Duke Qin has two sons
On the tenth day of April in the sixth year of Zhou Wangxiao (the fourth year of Wei Hou), the capital of Qin was Xianyang.
As a big country in the world, the area of Xianyang City is no less than that of Wu'an, and because it is located in the northwest, it is more rugged and heroic.
Due to the Qiang rebellion in recent years, the Qin State spent a lot of effort to deal with these Qiang people, so when the Wei State made trouble in the Tang State again, the Qin State was completely calm.
There were no Qiang people to make trouble when they besieged Wei before, so Qin was always able to send a strong army to fight against Wei, but now it can't.
Although the Qiang Rebellion was temporarily suppressed, it still needed to be deterred by the Qin State's army, otherwise there would be a comeback.
This also means that it is difficult for the Qin State to casually send more than 100,000 troops to deter the Wei State as before.
What's more, the consumption of Qin's national strength is very serious, but the opponent is the Wei State, which has been repaired for more than three years, and it is even more difficult to balance the war situation under the advantages of one and the other.
Therefore, at today's court meeting, in the face of the Wei people pressing forward in the Tang State, the Qin State fell into a dispute over whether to send troops.
The Qin State is a typical old-fashioned country, and the composition of the country's top level is very simple, except for the Qin State Office standing at the highest peak, the rest are the big nobles in Xianyang City.
However, unlike the Wei clan, because it is located in the barren land of the northwest and there are strong enemies in the east, west and south, the Xianyang clan is still closely united around the office.
But unity is only the unity of their political stance, but it does not mean that their ideas are the same, and all of them have differences on the issue of whether to send troops to the Tang State.
At this time, the Qin court was roughly divided into three factions, one was the eastern military group that presided over the dispatch of troops, the second was the western military group that thought that the dispatch should be suspended, and the third was the Nabo people who remained neutral.
The so-called division between east and west here is actually based on a very simple basis, that is, it is divided according to the fiefdom position of these human races present and according to the place where the children of the clan work.
That is to say, those fiefs in the Xianyang clan in the east, or the majority of the clan's children in the eastern part of the Qin state, supported the immediate dispatch of troops to the Tang state, and vice versa.
In fact, it is easy to understand that the interests in the east naturally cannot sit idly by and watch the fall of the Tang State, and the interests in the west naturally think that defending the Qiang is the top priority.
The two parties are at loggerheads, and they don't know how to choose so that Qin Gong on the throne wins.
In the final analysis, it's still to blame that their own strength is not strong enough, otherwise they still need to consider the key defensive side.
But the decision is to be made after all, it is just a matter of time, but the decision to be made early or late still has a great impact on the battle situation.
Ignoring the quarrels of the courtiers below, Ying Xun couldn't help but think at this time, if he first succeeded to the throne, I am afraid that he would have already given the order to send troops to the Tang Kingdom!
Yes, Ying Xun was biased towards sending troops to the Tang State, because he knew that for the Qin State, the Wei State was the real and greatest threat.
However, Ying Xun also understood that at this time, the Qin State sent troops to the Wei State, and it was very likely that the other party would not be able to defeat the other party, and if the army was defeated, it would lead to more serious consequences.
Therefore, there are reasons why Win Xun can't make up his mind because of the opposition of the Western Military Group, but at the same time, there are also Win Xun's own worries about sending troops.
In the final analysis, it is difficult to choose between winning and winning Xun, or losing the courage to fight against the odds.
Therefore, at this time, Ying Xun was still very envious of the young Wei Hou, the other party had the pride to implement state affairs according to his own will, but he was old.
So Qin Gong couldn't help but glance down, and saw several sons standing in front of the court!
Ying Xun didn't think at this time, if he passed away, who of these young people would be able to inherit Daqin?
As soon as he thought of this, Ying Xun thought about teaching his son, and he even thought about the topic.
Looking at the chaotic Chaoban below, Ying Xun said in a deep voice: "Okay...... Shut up! ”
Although the quarrel was terrible, the prestige of the monarch of Yingxun was strong, and everyone stood up in a good manner when a sentence came out.
Then Ying Xun said: "Since there is no result in today's discussion, then Zhuqing will go back and think about it again, and the court will discuss this matter again tomorrow!" ”
Then Win Xun announced the end of the court meeting, and a major discussion was suspended, and the matter had to be postponed until tomorrow.
After the next dynasty, Ying Xun kept his most powerful son. Although he had a dozen sons, he was only able to entrust the throne between these two people.
Walking in the corridor of the Qin Palace, Qin Gongyingxun's body was a little rickety, so the speed of the group was very slow.
When Wei Wuji lamented the hard work of state affairs, he didn't know that Yingxun, who was much older than him, was still under more pressure.
Looking at his father, who was already gray, and the third son Yingyuan and the fifth son Yingyuan who were following behind Yingxun, he also felt a little emotional at this time.
It turned out that the father, who had been looking up to him all along, also turned gray and bent over under the passage of time!
"Fang Cai, why don't you two talk?" Walking ahead, Ying Xun asked out loud.
At this time, Ying Yuan, who was the elder brother, replied: "The courtiers on both sides are reasonable, and the father has his own judgment on this matter, and the son does not have to speak!" ”
It's really the same reason, everyone has talked about the problem very clearly, and everything is just waiting for the decision of Winxun.
But Ying Xun came to teach his two sons, so naturally he wouldn't let it go easily, so he listened to him continue: "Then now, you can also talk about your thoughts!" ”
"I, Daqin, should I send troops to the Tang Kingdom?" Ying Xun asked his own question, and then looked at his two sons.
In fact, Tsutsumi already had a guess about his son's possible answer......
The third prince won more dealings with the Eastern Group, and should have supported the dispatch of troops to the Tang State; The Sixth Prince, on the other hand, was friendly with the Western Bloc, and was not surprisingly opposed to sending troops.
But Tsumi asks the question anyway, because what he needs is not his son's help with his decision-making, but the way they analyze things.
The three of them had arrived at a pavilion by this time, so Ying Xun sat down in the pavilion, ready to listen to the return of his two sons.
The first answer was naturally the third son, but after he bowed to the old father, he said: "The son is shallow, and the father wants the son to answer, so the son will be outspoken!" ”
Ying Xun nodded, and then Ying Yuan said: "My son thinks that my Great Qin should send troops to the Tang State at this time to resist the Wei State Soldier Peak......"
Subsequently, Yingyuan put forward the following two reasons: first, if Wei destroyed Tang, there would be no buffer between Qin and Wei, so Tang would be saved; Second, now that the Qiang rebellion has been calmed down and it is difficult to recur in a short period of time, the Qin State can draw troops on two fronts and have the ability to resist the Wei army.
After Ying Yuan finished speaking, he took a step back cautiously, and then looked up at his father.
But seeing that Yingxun's face did not change at this time, Yingyuan couldn't see anything, and he didn't know whether he was right or wrong.
Then, I saw Ying Xun look at the sixth winner and said, "Sixth, what do you think?" ”
So Win Evidence stood up to answer, and just after Win Xun thought he had guessed the result, Win Evidence said that he was caught off guard.
I only listened to the winning report and said straight to the point: "Father, the son thinks that the third brother is reasonable, and now he should resist the Wei army first!" ”
At this point, Ying Xun was intrigued, but his face was still impassive, and he motioned for Ying Xun to continue.
Listening to the winning evidence, he continued: "My son thinks that compared to the Qiang Rebellion in the Northwest, Wei is the mortal enemy of my Qin State!" ”
"The Qiang chaos only messes with a county in my Qin country...... The land of two counties, and what the Marquis of Wei wants is to overthrow me to win the Sheji, so the defense of Wei precedes the defense of Qiang......"
When he heard this, he had a rough judgment about the level of his two sons.
Lao San's victory was beneficial to the Eastern Group, and it was supposed to support the defense against Wei, and it was difficult to say that he did not consider his own interest group.
Lao Liuying, who belonged to the western group, realized that the Qiang and Wei people had different threats, so they concluded that they should defend against the Wei state.
From this, it can be seen that the sixth child is already looking at the problem from the height of the Qin State, and is no longer confined to the factional fight, which is much higher than the third child.
Although he had a judgment in his heart, Ying Xun was still silent at this time, just saying that he was tired, and then waved away his two sons.
Although they didn't understand what the old father meant by asking for no reason, the two brothers still retired honestly, and there were still many things waiting for them to do.
Looking at the backs of his two sons leaving, Ying Xun slowly smiled, he was a successor!
