Chapter 227: Wu Chu Comes to Envoy
Even in Layue, it was also a piece of news that caused a lot of waves in Wancheng!
The states of Chu and Wu actually sent envoys to Wancheng of Great Qin to meet the Duke of Qin, who was made a duke by Ji Zhou Tianzi.
This is something that has never happened before for Great Qin, the State of Chu and the State of Wu, one is the overlord of Luoshui in the past, and the other is already a great power that deters Jianghuai, no matter which one is compared with today's Great Qin, it is only strong and not weak.
It is exactly like this, Daqin treats the envoy of Chu, the envoy of Wu with a grand courtesy, on the ninth day of the lunar month, the Duke of Qin treats the envoys of the two countries with the gift of nine guests in the main hall of the palace of Qin, Ji Zhou's etiquette collapses, and the gift of nine guests is already the etiquette of facing Ji Zhou's angel.
That is, on the same day, after the gift of Jiubin, after the envoys of Chu and Wu returned to the post station, the Qin Palace immediately asked Gao Jin and other chamberlains to recruit Lin Yuyan to go to the Qin Palace.
After arriving at the main hall of the Qin Palace, the gift of Jiubin seemed to have just been removed from the banquet, and the air was already filled with the residual smell of wine.
Qin Gong's face was solemn, even if it was Han Kui, his face was not very good-looking.
When he went to the main hall of the Qin Palace, Lin Yuyan found that the Shangqing of the court, the eldest son Lin Yuren, Gongzi Xin, etc., also went to the main hall of the Qin Palace, and some of them were accompanied by the gift of Jiubin in the main hall.
Seeing that the figures in the hall were gradually coming, Gong Qin raised his voice and said: "The gift of Jiubin, Gu is not going to elaborate more, Han Xiang, you just tell them well, the purpose of the Chu State and the Wu State sending envoys to Daqin." ”
"Whoa!" Han Kui responded, and then informed everyone of the purpose of the envoy of Chu and Wu to Great Qin: "The envoy sent by Chu is named Qu Ping, and the envoy of Wu is Fan Li, both of whom are famous people of the two countries and hold important positions. ”
"Sending troops?!" Everyone looked at each other, and in the end, no one raised doubts in their hearts, but it is not difficult to guess that the purpose of Chu State, Wu State and Great Qin jointly sending troops can only be one...... Jing Country!
Only Jing can make Chu State, Wu State and Great Qin Huimeng send troops!
Sure enough, just the next breath, Han Kui confirmed the matter: "The envoy of the Chu State explained that the [Zhu Rong Tiangong] of the Jing State is probably not long in life, and there are already rumors that the lord of the Jing Kingdom has reached the point where the medicine stone is ineffective and terminally ill, it is precisely because of this that those Jing princes canonized by Zhu Rong Tiangong are also eyeing Yingdu, it is not difficult to predict, if that Heavenly Duke collapses, Jing will inevitably fall into a civil strife, This is also an excellent time for the two countries of Great Qin and Wu Chu to join forces! ”
Han Kui's understatement made several courtiers in the hall also have complicated faces, and asked Daqin to send troops?
It's also a question worth considering!
When Gong Qin saw Han Kui finish speaking, he also said, "What do you think?" ”
Seeing that no one answered, Han Kui stood still, and Situ Baili Huai also stepped forward and asked, "I don't know what kind of conditions the envoys of Wu and Chu promised to Daqin?" ”
Han Kui replied: "The north of the Great River belongs to Great Qin!" ”
The north of the great river, belongs to Daqin? ……!
Most of the people present knew that there were two rivers that were said to come from the heavens, one was the [Great River] (Yellow River) in the Central Plains, and the other was naturally the [Great River] (Yangtze River) in the land of Jingchu.
There is no way, everyone in the world knows that the source of the Han River is the Qinling Mountains, but the source of the great river and the great river is on the high mountains of the Western Regions west of the Central Plains, flowing out of the Xianshan Kunlun.
If the Qin State really occupies the north of the Great River, I am afraid that the Qin State will return to the peak period of the Northern Qin in the past!
In the face of such a huge temptation, it is inevitable that people will know the risks, and finally Baili Huai also said: "Daqin has already occupied Nanyang, Jiangxia and Yingyin this year, is it a little too fast, the Great Qin court is still in Nanyang, and the other newly occupied counties are also under the jurisdiction of the newly sealed county guards, and the officials are already overstretched, even if they occupy the north of the river, I am afraid they will not be able to operate, and I am afraid that when the time comes, it will be in vain for others!" ”
Baili Huai was not a cowardly person, and once invaded Daqin when Korea was still a Jin Han clan, this Situ Lord dared to go alone to lobby in the military camp of the Jin Han clan's 80,000 soldiers.
I have to say that this was the most important minister of the Qin State before Han Kui entered the Great Qin, and he was also an extremely cautious person.
Su Ke, who was in charge of the matter of Tian Tax, also stepped forward and said, "The minister seconded the proposal, the rebellion of the old clan this year has caused the Great Qin Tian Tax to be very small, I am afraid that there is not much military rations to send troops, and the Jing State is strong, and there are millions of soldiers who can fight, it is difficult for Great Qin to resist ......"
The ministers in the court were able to retain their official positions after Han Kui purged the court after taking power, not to mention all, at least ninety percent of them were ministers who were close to the Duke of Qin, and there was no conflict with Han Kui, but at the moment, if they did not say anything, they were all based on the actual national strength of Great Qin.
Hearing this, Qin Gong's face was even more hesitant, as if he felt that Baili Huai and the others were right, but what they said was wrong...... However, in the end, he still relied on Han Kui to say.
Han Kui seemed to be looking at the left and right to talk about the others, and said: "Now the number of travelers who come to Daqin is increasing every day, and the imperial court did not choose them to become officials, but placed them in the post station of Wancheng, so that they can learn the words, classics and humanistic allusions of Daqin, the reason why this is done is precisely because of the preparation for the [recruitment test] in the spring of next year, these people may be difficult to have great talents, but there is no shortage of talents to govern the place, Kui can judge that there will be a large number of travelers in Daqin next year to be selected as officials!" ”
"As for the food...... That's even more to worry about! The State of Chu is still waiting, the State of Wu is still waiting, of course, my Great Qin is still waiting, waiting for the news that the Heavenly Duke of Jing State is really collapsing, and the news of complete civil strife in Jing State, I judged that when Great Qin sent troops, there would definitely be more than a year, and the rest of the year was enough for Great Qin to reserve food for a military dispatch...... After all, the old clan rebelled, and the collection of those field taxes once again came into the hands of the Great Qin Imperial Court! ”
"In this way, Han Xiang is in favor of sending troops?" Someone in the court asked.
Han Kui said: "This point is still up for discussion, the reason why Kui said this is just to inform you that Great Qin does not have the strength to send troops......
Hearing this, Duke Qin looked around at the faces of all the courtiers, all of them were seriously thinking, but only a few people were uncertain, which made Qin Gong couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and said: "As the son of Great Qin, what do you think!" ”
