Chapter 791: The Conversation of the Monarch and the Minister
"Zhao led the army to break through Lin Hu and Lou Fu a year ago, and collected the two big Hu Lu for his own use, and seized the fat of Zhongshan State in the hands of Wei State, and now he is eyeing Dai Guo!"
"Last year, under the leadership of the general Qin Kai, the Yan State broke Donghu, expanded the land for 2,000 miles, and collected tens of thousands of people in Donghu."
Han Kui shook his hands, no matter which one of the two is a great feat!
In the first ten years of the Yuan Dynasty, the Central Plains was destined to be unstable, and the strong rise of Zhao and Yan had changed the pattern of the Central Plains in the past.
Of course, the impact on different countries is also very different, it seems that the Qin State is happy to see it, after all, the two countries of Yan and Zhao can have such a situation, in which the military assistance provided by the Qin State plays an extremely important role, which is also the result of the deliberate promotion of the Qin State.
It seems that when Qi and Wei learned the news of Yan and Zhao, they were on pins and needles!
In the past, the Qi State was strong and the Yan State was weak, and the Yan King and the ministers were subject to the Qi State, but now with the Yan State expanding the land for 2,000 miles and annexing Donghu, I am afraid that it is not as rich as the Qi State, but it is not afraid of the threat of the Qi State.
Now the Qi State also occupies more than 100 cities in the homeland of the Yan State south of Jicheng, and the national strength of the Yan State is now soaring, and it will definitely recover these lost lands in time.
As for the relationship between Zhao and Wei, it is much more complicated, they are both one of the three Jin, and most of the interests of Zhao and Wei were the same many years ago, but with the settlement of the three Jin, the contradictions between Zhao and Wei have undoubtedly intensified a lot.
At the beginning of King Zhao's ascension to the throne, Zhao's domestic instability and frequent turmoil, King Wei not only did not send troops to assist the Zhao royal family to quell the domestic rebellion, but took advantage of the fire to rob, if it weren't for the fact that King Zhao was young and old, and handled it properly, I can't say that now Zhao's society is probably annexed by King Wei!
And it was the Zhao State that defeated Lin Hu and Lou Fu with a thunderous force, and it was the annexation of the Zhongshan State left by the Wei State, and the Wei State ordered the general Xiao Juan to lead the Wei Wushu to attack the Zhao State again, and face the Zhao State Hu Dao Cavalry who created a great reputation in Saibei!
Of course, the grievances and grievances between the two are all the previous words, and the most fundamental thing is that Zhao wants to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, and Wei is a roadblock on Zhao's southward road; And if Wei wants to continue to maintain the skin of the overlord of the Central Plains, it is bound to block Zhao's southward advance.
In the final analysis, the contradictions between Zhao and Wei are inevitable.
Han Kui only felt that the situation in the Central Plains was changing too fast, the eight hundred princes of the Yin Shang Dynasty, the Later Ji Zhou Dynasty, and the two princes of the Later Zhou Dynasty, but looking at the entire Central Plains now, there are only a handful of countries that can hang the banner on the city!
The balance between the princes and the countries has been rapidly broken, the big countries rely on the national strength, the weak countries are vertical and horizontal, in the past, most of the Central Plains princes of the two countries were watching from the wall, but now even if a large-scale alliance is not held, the war between the two countries is also a trigger for the Central Plains!
"Does Han Qing think that the countries of the Central Plains have changed overnight......
Lin Yuyan's voice sounded a little joking to Han Kui, but Han Kui also admitted it calmly: "The ministers got up in the middle of the slightest, naturally they knew the suffering of the people, and now the Central Plains has completely lost its courtesy, righteousness and shame, and the big countries have merged with small countries and started an unjust war, and the competition for hegemony between the princes and countries has become a disorderly thing!" ”
"This world has completely changed!" Lin Yuyan said the same, and then slowly stood up and walked to the bottom of the steps of the Xuanzheng Palace, Han Kui followed, and after a long time, Lin Yuyan said: "The reason why Lone agreed to Gongsun Marting's strategy for the southern expedition is more that Gongsun Martingale has already realized one step earlier than Han Qing, since the success of the Great Qin reform, and the participation in the situation between the countries, this world is in the muddy water, and Great Qin has to wade through the water!" ”
"Gu Yingyun went south to conquer Wuling and conquered Baiyue, perhaps to covet the richness of that land, but the most important thing is ...... Training! Lin Yuyan smiled and leaned on the railing next to the stone steps with both hands.
Looking at the gentleman's old posture, Han Kui also realized that this monarch was already different from Qin Gongzi Yingyan, who personally led the army back then, but a man who had been sitting quietly in the Xuanzheng Hall of Wancheng for ten years.
"Especially after learning about the movements of Yan and Zhao, Gu has already worshiped Sun Changqing as the general of the southern expedition, and then conquered the Wuling Baiyue tribe!" Lin Yuyan paused, and said again: "Over the years, the Southern Expedition has emerged a lot of young talents for Great Qin, like Tu Sui, Ren Huan, Zhao Tuo, these young generals of the Southern Expedition, but unfortunately they are still too immature, and they don't have time to grow up, so they need to be supervised!" ”
Han Kui nodded, these years Han Kui is no longer almost [acting for the monarch's power] during the Angong period, but more about assisting Lin Yuyan: "Last month, the original Changsha Cheng Shilu, who was originally dispatched to Nanling, also opened up the Lingqu of the Xiangshui River in the north and south of Yuecheng Ling and the Li River in Lingnan, which can greatly save the time for transportation between Daqin and Nanling in the future. ”
"Okay, this Shi Lu is indeed a talent that can be created, pass on the edict, promote Shi Lu to Nanling Shou, and worship two thousand stone officials!"
"Whoa!" Han Kui also responded.
"After all, the Ba people are small and widowed, and they can't be used for a long time." Lin Yuyan swept around, and said: "Luoyi is the commercial capital of the Central Plains, and there are many advantages and disadvantages, tens of thousands of prisoners per year, and these people staying in Sanchuan are always a scourge......"
"Let's start preparing for the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army of the Great Qin Southern Expedition, 500,000 troops and 2 million people are enough to conquer Nanling within ten years!"
There has never been a vassal state that has moved people to barbarian lands on such a large scale as Qin, like Zhao and Yan, and after obtaining Hu land, they all took their people captive as their own soldiers and slaves.
Since the seventh year of the first century, in just three years, the Qin State has relocated 800,000 native populations, 700,000 Korean populations, 300,000 Bajun populations, and 300,000 soldiers stationed in Wuling.
Listening to Han Kui's response again, Lin Yuyan was a little disappointed in his heart, when Han Kui first entered Qin, he was just a traveler, but Lin Yuyan had a very happy conversation with him, and he also admired Han Kui's talent very much, but now it seems that after Han Kui's new deal, his attitude is biased towards conservatism.
In the first few years of the first century, it was understandable, but now that the situation in the Central Plains is changing rapidly, Han Kui's restraint and conservatism have gradually become Lin Yuyan's dislike.
The crown prince is already ten years old, such as Lin Yuyan when he was a child, he generally did not like to read and write in the Zixi Palace, and what he thought about every day was to play with many younger brothers, that is, the second son Yingjing born to Lin Yuyan by Miyun, and the son Yingyue born to Zheng Dan.
It seems that Zhai Huang, a wise man who has traveled all over the world, is not a good thing as the head of the crown prince.
Lin Yuyan remembered that Duke An had connived at him, but he did not suddenly respond to the seemingly unreasonable request of the crown prince, but agreed with him that when he won the top ten places in the state test of Daqin, he agreed with the prince to travel around the world.
Every morning after the morning period, the prince will come to the Xuanzheng Hall to sit for a while, and there may be some ignorant noise when he was young, but now, knowing the responsibility on his shoulders, even if he has nothing to do, he will not be able to maintain this opportunity to fulfill his responsibilities.
Seeing that Zhai Huang, the official of the Ministry of Officials (the former Minister of the Ministry of Justice, died in the seventh year of the First Yuan Dynasty), led the prince over, and there was still a distance, Lin Yuyan also said to Han Kui at the end: "Prepare to expand Luoyi, this Wancheng is too small after all, and it is not enough to accommodate the ambitions of Great Qin......
"Whoa!" Han Kui arched his hand again, and then Zhai Huang and the crown prince came and saluted Lin Yuyan and Han Kui in turn.
After the etiquette was over, the bright-eyed prince looked at Han Kui and said with a smile: "I just heard that the monarch means that he wants to move the capital?" ”
"What nonsense!" Lin Yuyan maintained the dignity of his strict father, and immediately scolded, in fact, even the ministers of the foreign dynasty knew that Qin Jun's attention and favor to the crown prince was unmatched: "Don't go to the Xuanzheng Palace to read the approval!" ”
The prince heard the strong concern in the words of the prince, and as for the scolding, he was ignored by the prince, and after listening to the orders of the prince, the prince responded and immediately walked to the Xuanzheng Palace.
However, Zhai Huang stopped and reported to Lin Yuyanyu: "Your Majesty, the prince wants to go to Nanling in the winter. ”
"Oh?" Lin Yuyan didn't know why, and asked, "What is he doing in Nanling?" ”
Zhai Huang smiled bitterly: "I heard that the king set up Nanling to guard and place the county, so the prince wants to go to Nanling to participate in the state test ......"
"This ...... It's fine. Lin Yuyan's face showed a hint of surprise at the cunning of the prince, and then he turned his head and said confidently to Han Kui: "Nanling is deserted, and the state can't be inferior to other counties, so let's select some good families with excellent studies from Nanyang School Palace to go to Nanling." ”
Han Kui's answer was a calm "yes" as usual, but the corners of his mouth also lit up with a slight smile.
After Zhai Huang left, Lin Yuyan walked towards the main gate of the Qin Palace, and Han Kui knew that it was the king who was sending him away.
At the gate of the palace, Lin Yuyan summoned the attendant and said: "The prime minister has worked hard, worked hard day and night, and is also old, go to the inner mansion to get the excellent deer antler velvet and mountain ginseng that Zhao and Yan paid tribute to, and handed them to the minister of state to nourish his body." ”
Lin Yuyan's words were full of concern, but it made the quick-thinking Han Kui's face stagnate, and after a few breaths, Han Kui, who came back to his senses, also arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your concern, I'm afraid that the minister's energy can only stand up for the last dynasty of Wancheng for the king!" ”
Such a tacit code language between monarchs and ministers, I'm afraid it can only be understood by each other......
