Emperor Tianyou's sudden coma disrupted Yin Wuyi's plan, and he had to order people to take hundreds of officials to the side hall to be taken to watch and detain, and on the other hand, he sent a letter urging Zhou Lianben, who was at home, to go to the court to discuss matters.

Around noon, bad news also came from outside the palace...... The invited old ministers either died violently at home or were assassinated on the road, and the rest of the people were also frightened, and they couldn't invite the eight sedan chairs.

Until the time of the lantern, in the empty Xuanzheng Palace, there were still only three people, Qin Zhan, Yin Wuyi and Mr. Sun. As for Emperor Zhaowu, he had already been taken down to cool off, and at this moment it was Qin Zhan sitting on the dragon chair he vacated.

Intoxicated with the supreme pleasure brought by 'sitting on the dragon chair', Qin Zhan even narrowed his eyes comfortably, refusing to pay attention to people for a long time.

"Lord Wang, those ministers still refuse to go to court." Mr. Sun, who looked helpless, reported softly.

"Grab them all," Qin Zhan caressed the handrail made of gold, and said like his father back then, "If you use the army to escort you into the palace, you don't believe that this will also be dangerous." ”

"This ...... That's all there is to it. Mr. Sun nodded, turned around and went down to give the order.

The rest of Yin said: "Lord, it's time to issue a holy decree and announce Qin Lei's fate to the world." ”

"Hmm......" Qin Zhan said, "This matter will be handed over to Mr., and there will be no mistakes." ”

"There's also the matter of contacting Prince Yong," Yin Wuyi, who had already gotten rid of his initial gaffe, regained his Yin Measurement appearance and said, "We should also start earlier." ”

"Hmm......" Qin Zhan said: "You do things, I don't worry, but can you really move my eldest brother to oppose the fifth brother?" ”

"Don't worry, the prince." Yin Wuyi said in a deep voice: "Weichen has some connections with Prince Rong of Qi State, and he can write a letter to him in his private name, he naturally knows what to do." ”

"Good." Qin Zhan stroked his palm and said: "With the help of the head snake, the eldest brother will be more confident, let's do it quickly." ”

"Yes......" Yin is tantamount to bowing his head and retreating

Using the advanced postal route system of Great Qin, the letters of Qin Zhan and Yin arrived in Qi within two days and were delivered to Prince Yong of Great Qin, the commander of the occupation army, and Prince Rong, the chairman of the Qi State Maintenance Association.

As soon as Prince Rong received the letter, he was overjoyed, and he asked a few elders to discuss, and everyone thought that Qin was in turmoil, and Qi had the possibility of recovering the country. Since the fall of the country, the prince of Qi, who has been depressed, cheered and jumped for joy at this moment. They quickly agreed to take out all their savings and hand them over to Prince Rong, who would have full powers to discuss cooperation with Prince Yong.

At this time, the camp of the Qin army was also caught in a fierce debate on a small scale...... After receiving the letter, Qin Li first pondered alone for an hour, and then unbelievably invited all the generals above the deputy military level to the king's tent, and then put the letter on the big case, and let them take turns to come forward to watch.

Seeing that letter, the senior generals had different expressions, such as Huangfu Zhanwen and Shi Yong, and they were naturally furious; For example, Shen Wei and the like are full of worries; Of course, there are also secretly excited people, these are Qin Li's descendant generals, as the so-called would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox, of course they are willing to follow Prince Yong to stand on their own, and also make a founding hero or something like that.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, after all the ten generals had finished reading and returning to their respective positions, Qin Li said slowly: "You already know the situation in the country, may I ask what the generals think?" ”

"So what's the point?" Shi Yongteng stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "The national thieves are in turmoil, and the heavens and the earth have changed color, so naturally they are incompatible with them!" ”

"What national thief?" A general of the Zhendong Army system sneered: "Could it be that His Majesty Zhaowu is also a national thief?" ”

"This ......" Shi Yong was short of words all of a sudden, and Huangfu Zhanwen hurriedly continued: "The Emperor Taishang has been missing for ten years, why didn't he return to the throne sooner or later, he wanted to appear at this moment of unification, and he would divide the Qi State to Prince Yong, there are a lot of strange things......

"You mean, our prince doesn't deserve to have the Qi Kingdom?" Another general blew his beard and glared and said: "We commanded 500,000 troops, and after a lot of hard work, we finally wiped out the Qi State, which is what his old man deserves!" ”

"That's it," the other general sneered: "I see that Your Majesty has a good share, His Royal Highness King Wucheng destroyed the Chu State, and he will give him Southern Chu; Our prince destroyed the Qi country, and he divided the Eastern Qi to the prince, fair and reasonable, Tong Su is not bullied, where is the strange words? ”

Qin Li was silent and looked at the general Shen Wei, Shen Wei had no choice but to show his attitude: "We are fighting for life and death, sacrificing the lives of millions of people, in order to unify the Three Kingdoms and unify China?" Now, looking at what this letter says, it is to reunite the land into three parts, if so, what is the significance of the sacrifice of the soldiers? ”

"Your Majesty Zhaowu, our prince and King Wucheng are bloodline father and son, and they are both the emperors of my Great Qin, why is it not unified?" The general of the Eastern Army of the town retorted.

"No, no," Shen Weisi said: "I look at the letter and say that the military government, internal and foreign affairs, currency issuance, salt and iron taxes, should be handed over to the prince, this is a complete abandonment of all rights to Qi and Chu, what is the difference with splitting?" ”

"This ......" the general was speechless for a moment, unable to answer.

"Lord Mingjian!" Shen Wei arched his hand towards Qin Li, and said righteously: "Reunification is the trend of the times, and all separatist behaviors are perverse, please don't make a mistake and become a thousand years of hatred!" This is a very serious statement, but with his status and qualifications, he is still qualified to say so.

Seeing that everyone showed their attitude, Qin Li slowly lowered his eyelids and said, "I'll think about it again, let's disperse first." ”

"Please think twice." The generals said in unison with different faces. As for whether to write a letter and make a small report after returning home, or to order the troops to be on higher alert and respond to changes at any time, it depends on the position of each person.

There was silence in the king's tent, and Qin Li kept his eyes closed and recuperated, as if he was asleep, until the guards woke him up softly: "Lord, Prince Qi Guorong is visiting." ”

"Oh?" Qin Li's eyes widened slightly, and the light in his eyes flashed, so he closed his eyes again and said, "Please." ”

After a while, the guards brought in Prince Rong with a humble smile on his face, and after the two sides greeted each other, at the request of Prince Rong, Qin Liping retreated, and only the two of them were left in the king's tent.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Prince Rong got straight to the point and said: "Xiao Wang and the whole country of Qi all think that the prince is the most suitable lord of the Qi country, and unanimously support you as the new generation of Emperor Qi, I don't know if the prince is interested?" ”

"Heh......" Qin Li couldn't imagine that Qin Zhan was so powerful that he could actually get together with the head of Qi State. But I have to admit that with the support of these Qi nobles, coupled with his hundreds of thousands of troops, it is completely possible to re-occupy Eastern Qi and maintain it forever...... Although this is only hypothetical, it cannot be denied that the feasibility of this matter is very high.

"Would you be so kind?" Qin Li smiled and said, "It won't be a knife to kill someone, and then cross the river and tear down the bridge, right?" ”

"Why did the prince say this?" Prince Rong said with a smile: "You have an invincible army of hundreds of thousands, which can wipe us out at any time, and it is too late for everyone to fear you, how can you have other ideas?" ”

"I don't dare." Qin Li snorted and said, "Go back and wait, you have to think about it." ”

Although he was very unhappy with this attitude, how could he not bow his head under the eaves, and Prince Rong, who was once prominent, could only bow obediently and retreat.

As soon as he left, silence returned to the king's tent, and Qin Li ordered all candles to be extinguished, leaving only an oil lamp.

The tent soon darkened. Looking at the dim bean-like lights, he fell into a long contemplation.

At this critical moment of national fortunes, Qin Li found himself a key figure in the situation. Although the number of people who can follow him to the end is less than half of the total number of troops, with the support of the nobles of Qi State, coupled with various delicate situations. At this time, the country of Qi is divided or unified, and the world is war or peace, only between his thoughts!

Qin Li slowly pulled out a piece of letter from his sleeve, which was attached to the letter and was written by another person, but he quietly put it away and didn't let anyone see it.

Under the dim oil lamp, Qin Li read softly: "The cunning rabbit is exhausted, and the lackeys are cooking; The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The enemy country is broken, and the general is dead...... The enemy country is broken, and the general is ......' is what touches his heartstrings.

The letter said that since ancient times, between monarchs and ministers, it has been difficult to share hardships and difficulties. A political group, in the face of the threat of a strong enemy and the dangers that stand in the way, is often able to work together to defeat the enemy, conquer the difficulties and dangers, and achieve victory. However, when the political power is in hand, the mountains and the sea respond, and the clouds and fog disperse, they often suspect each other and guard against each other, so that they kill each other in the slightest regardless of the past situation.

"Ji Sun's worries are not in the moment, but within the Xiao Wall......" Qin Li said slowly. The letter said: Internal divisions and dispersions, intrigues, deceit, and struggles for power and profit often do not occur when the situation is severe, but often occur after victory is about to come or has already been achieved, that is, at this time.

The writer said that this problem is easy to explain, because the imperial power has a strong exclusivity, and any emperor treats the world as a private property, and does not allow others to challenge his authority and disperse his power - when fighting the world, because the generals need to exert their energy and take charge alone, they have to divide power. Naturally, when the day was settled and there was not much war, those generals who established high authority in the war became an unstable factor for the dynasty. For this point, the rulers of all dynasties are not exempt from vulgarity, and they are often eliminated quickly!

The letter concludes with a list of the grief and indignation of several generals:

One of them is the former Qin Wu'an Jun Bai Qi. This commander who has won a hundred battles, the power of life and death is in one hand, Qin Zhao Changping battled, killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers, and made Qiang Zhao have no strong soldiers for ten years, and he collapsed, how majestic is it? How domineering? He was a master of high merit, and finally died at the hands of Qin Xiang Fan Sui.

The second is the famous general Wu Zixu in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was born in ups and downs, and he grew up in danger. The young man is determined to be loyal to the liver and courage. White hair overnight, bitter and bitter! The Wu of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons began with its strategy, prospered in its management, and finally broke through the Chu capital, and the great revenge was avenged! However, the merit was high and shocked the master, and he ended up with a self-inflicted end.

There is also the kind of literature that made the greatest contribution to the destruction of Wu by Gou Jian, the king of Yue, after the destruction of Wu, Gou Jian was jealous of his talent and suspected of the opposite, and finally gave him death; There are also Li Mu, the famous general of Zhao, Shang Yan, the important minister of Qin, Han Xin, the marshal of the Han Dynasty, and the most representative Zhou Yafu of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, it was the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and its momentum was in full swing, and the Han dynasty was in danger, and Zhou Yafu was ordered to assess the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms at a time of crisis, and turn the tide and fall! It's a big deal! And the world was decided, Emperor Jing suspected that his merits were high, cut his lord, and sinned, Yafu went on a hunger strike for five days, and finally died in prison......

I have to admit that the person who wrote the letter was an extremely clever lobbyist, with reason, evidence and examples, and he saw Qin Lei break out in a cold sweat, as if he really saw Qin Lei tear off the veil of warmth after ascending the throne, and began to kill him and his men...... Even if he doesn't think about himself, Qin Li has to think about his generals!

Early the next morning, Prince Yong, who had not slept all night, issued an order to divide the two-way army totaling 600,000 into two, and 300,000 to stay in Qi to maintain order; 300,000 with him to return to China...... Go back in the name of sudden changes in the country and the emptiness of troops.

But the strange thing is that just when everyone thought that Shen Wei, Huangfu Zhanwen and Shi Yong's troops were determined to stay, the appointment document came down. In addition to Shen Wei, who unsurprisingly served as the commander of the left-behind army, Huangfu Zhanwen and Shi Yong were both in the sequence of the class returning to China.

300,000 troops, half of the Zhendong system, half of the Jingshan system, what the hell do you think this is?

However, Qin Li opened like this. During this period, Prince Rong came to him again, but he was also delayed by him in the name of being inappropriate to meet guests during the march.

The army returned to China in June and arrived in the treacherous Guanzhong region in early July.

Two hundred miles from the capital, Qin Li suddenly stopped his advance, ordered his troops to set up camp, and wrote to Qin Lei, asking him to meet him in a place called 'Afternoon Valley' to talk to him about big things...... What's even more outrageous is that he warned Qin Lei not to lead troops, not to set up ambushes, and to bring at most two followers, and feel the noon valley within three days!

Dare to blackmail Qin Lei, he must be crazy......
