Chapter 294: Jing Huan
If it weren't for Lu Wen's rhetoric, Fusu might have believed one of the two theories, but now Fusu had no interest in discerning which of the two theories was more reliable.
Half a month later, the time of Fusu's grounding has passed, but before Fusu went to see Yingzheng, someone came to see him first. The new concubine already has a candidate, and Zongzheng Mansion came to ask for Fusu's opinion.
"The State of Qi is willing to increase the number of craftsmen by fifty people, and implore the daughter of the clan of the State of Qi to be the concubine of the princess." Yingli paused to see Fusu's reaction.
Fusu raised his head, looked at the person who came, and said, "Brother Li, it's only been half a month, aren't you too anxious?" ”
Ying Li has also heard about Fusu's marriage in Zongzheng Mansion, and has always hoped to delay it for a while, on the grounds that he has not yet been crowned, that is, he is not yet an adult, and he is too young, is this a reason, except for Fusu, no one thinks that he is now young in marriage.
"The king ordered that the marriage date of the prince should not be delayed, so all countries wanted to fight for the opportunity to marry when they received the news. Even the Yan State sent people to plead for a marriage with the Qin State......"
"The war against Yan is over?" Fusu asked puzzled, he hadn't heard the news of the end of the war.
"Not yet, but Yandi is bitterly cold, most of the Qin army is not very adaptable, and they can't all transfer troops from Shangjun, the Hu people in Hebei seem to have signs of stopping, the king is worried that the north is unstable, General Wang Jian suggested that if you can't take Jicheng before the winter comes, you should make a truce first, so for Yan State's request to send a woman to sue for peace, the king did not veto, and handed it over to Zongzheng Mansion for disposal."
It is one thing to want to end the war before the end of winter, and on the other hand, the Zhao land has just been pacified, and the grain and grass are not enough to support a larger war, if it is only from the original territory of the Qin State, it will cost too much; The society has just stabilized, and starting a new war is not conducive to Zhao Diqian's return.
"Who does Yan Guo propose to be a wife?" Fusu asked curiously, when Ji Dan was a hostage in Xianyang, he once said that he would send his sister to Qin State to marry, I don't know who it will be this time.
"It's the only daughter of King Yan who hasn't married, Ji Yue." Ying Li also seemed to think of Ji Dan's previous tricks in Xianyang, and explained: "The princess that Ji Dan mentioned before got married after he went back, and Ji Yue is now just eleven years old. ”
Fusu shook his head and smiled wryly.
"The State of Wei is also willing to take the princess as a concubine, and on the condition of being a vassal, in exchange for the promise that the State of Qin will not attack."
Fusu shook his head, this King of Wei is really wonderful, whether it is to let the princess of Wei be a concubine or not, Wei will be destroyed.
Fusu has always been curious, with such a Wei king, Wei is not the first of the six countries to be destroyed. The request of the king of Wei to call the ministers was not once or twice, but each time it was rejected by the Qin state, Korea was gone, the Zhao state was gone, and seeing that the Qin army was about to break through Jicheng, the king of Wei did not hurry up and ran away or surrendered directly, but even thought about keeping the king and the country. You must know that at this time, there is no emperor title of "Virtue and Three Emperors, Gong Gai Five Emperors", you keep the title of king and Ying Zheng on an equal footing is death, Wei has occupied land from Qin more than once in history, and is also the former overlord of the Central Plains, before the Battle of Changping, the hatred with Qin was the greatest among the six countries. Now I still want to stay and breathe, is it really a joke to unify the world? Or you just work hard to make the country strong, change the law and strengthen the country, there is always some hope, and now you are pinning your hopes on the "pity" of Yingzheng, is this the idea that a monarch should have?
Of course, perhaps the Wei king's several sums were of some use, although a few years ago the Qin army attacked Yongqiu, has gone around to the east of the Wei capital Liang, only a hundred miles away from the Liang, Wei is surrounded by the Qin state, but the Wei state still exists, and the Zhao state that died with the Qin state has died.
Regardless of the Wei State, the other five countries, the kings of the countries at this time, there is indeed no one who can be compared with Yingzheng in terms of talent, on the one hand, the national strength is strong, the king is wise, and the courtiers use their lives, on the other hand, the national strength is declining, and the monarch is mediocre, although there may be so many capable ministers or warriors, but it is not enough to resist the general trend of the world, if the Qin State fails to dominate the world, it is unreasonable.
"What about the state of Chu?" Fusu asked again.
The reason why there is such a thing is that the king of Chu overturned his brother Xiong Han's decision, and what would he do under the pressure of the Qin State.
Ying Li showed a look of disdain, and quickly recovered, and said: "It is said that Jing Lin, the messenger who came to propose marriage, heard the news of the repentance of the negative and repented, and begged the negative to take back his life, Jing Lin died, and when the negative was hesitant, well, he received a letter from the queen, so the negative and the messenger sent someone over, saying that the previously selected candidate was not suitable, and he wanted to re-choose the wife for the son." ”
Fusu shook his head again, when he met such a king of Chu, it was still the same sentence, if the Qin State did not unify the world, it would be really unreasonable.
"What advice does Brother Li have?" Fusu didn't immediately decide after hearing this, and asked Yingli.
Yingli was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said nothing.
Fusu thought about it for a while, and then he understood Yingli's thoughts, or Zong Zhengling's thoughts or even Yingzheng's thoughts. The state of Chu broke the contract first, and Ying Zheng did not tear up with the state of Chu with great fanfare, but accepted the rhetoric of the state of Chu, and made the state of Chu one of the candidates again, probably because he wanted to continue to marry the state of Chu.
Among them, Fusu can also guess one or two.
First, although the Qin State firmly believes that the Qin State is about to unify the world, there is no concept of how long it will take to unify the world, and the most daring idea is estimated to be twenty or thirty years, and the Qin State still has the idea of fighting a protracted war with the remaining countries, so marriage is imperative. The history in Fusu's memory has been blurred, but it seems that it didn't take long to still remember reunification, and there is really no need to be so careful, but unfortunately Zong Zhengling and Yingzheng don't know.
Second, Chu is currently the largest country in terms of territory except for Qin, so it is better not to turn his face.
Third, the Yan State lost Jicheng and could only retreat to the bitter cold land of Liaodong, which was already destined not to be the opponent of the Qin State, the Wei State, hehe.
Finally, it is estimated that I am worried that Fusu's concubines are all from Qi and will be dominated in the future, if this is a reason for Yingzheng.
Fusu knew that things were actually out of his control, and Zongzheng Mansion could let Yingli come over and inform him, which was already very face-saving.
Since there are benefits, there is no reason to turn them away, after figuring it out, Fusu was not polite, nodded lightly, and said: "Then let Chu State increase the makeup, didn't Qi State give fifty craftsmen and double it." ”
Yingli bowed his head, expressed his approval, and continued to wait for Fusu to add conditions, but Fusu waved his hand and said, "Other things will trouble Brother Li and Uncle Li." ”
