Chapter 266: The Calm Before the War

"The king is too reckless," Ying Mu said after learning that Zhao was declaring war on the Assassins on the streets of Xianyang. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In just one year's effort, the Qin State underwent earth-shaking changes, the Kingdom of the Son of Heaven borrowed grain from the Qin State, and the barbarians of the Western Regions bowed down to their vassals.

Zhao Zheng has already handed in a satisfactory answer to the deceased Zichu, and if it continues to develop slowly at this rate, the Qin State will become the first power in the world in less than ten years.

The camp expenses were listed separately, and the Privy Council Department was set up under the Zhongshu Province, with Wei Lian as the privy envoy and Meng Wu as the privy deputy envoy, to train the new army with all its might.

Under the cheers of the Qin State, the war machine slowly activated, the Qin sword was sharpened, and the soldiers changed into the latest armor. And with training uniforms and regular uniforms, meritorious soldiers and junior officers can also receive rice and grain stamps issued by Homeinn Commercial Bank.

Zhao Zheng is breaking away from the Qin aristocratic system and trying to establish a private army that has always belonged to him. This was the first case in the Warring States period of the prince of the world, and the Meng family, who was temporarily defeated due to Mengqian's miscarriage, actively participated in Zhao Zheng's plan.

Ying Mu was hesitating, whether to stop Zhao Zheng, otherwise no matter how much he made meritorious deeds in the future, he would not have a knife in his hand, and he could only obey Zhao Zheng's reward.

"We are loyal, but it does not mean that we have to give up our original power", Ying Mu realized that he had always been a conservative aristocrat, but he was in the same interests as the King of Qin, and temporarily stood with the reformist scholars.

What makes the nobility expensive is blood. Everyone is reluctant to admit that it is upbringing, because it is too difficult, and it is very simple to marry one or marry into the nobility.

In October, Wang Banshi returned to the dynasty, and Uncle Wang Yingmu resigned from the old clan, resigned from the position of prime minister, and returned to Liyang to guard the tomb of the first king.

In November, the old Qin nobles living in Xianyang went to the table and asked the king to replace the fiefdom of Longxi, and he was willing to seal Hexi County at a discount.

"How can they dare to force the palace on the king."

Meng Wu shouted, looking at the posture, he was about to kill the old Qin nobles in the next second, clearing the obstacles for Zhao Zheng's preparation.

"Why should Brother Meng be angry, Xia Worm can't say anything, how can they know that this is God's will, Ji Zhou's virtue is declining, and the destiny of heaven belongs to my Great Qin."

The oracle outside Liangzhou City naturally told Wei Lian, Dongfang Gu, and Li Si, and the three of them reacted differently, but Wei Lian was silent.

"The old Qin nobles are in trouble, the reason is that Gongzi Mu is separated from the king, why don't you let him see the oracle, the mandate of heaven belongs to Great Qin, and the old Qin nobles will return to my king."

After Li Si finished speaking, everyone was silent, looking at him like a fool. Zhao Zheng has not yet figured out how he was born, he hates others threatening him the most, and he always treats threats as fast as possible.

Wang Kun took out a few letters from his arms, and becoming the commander of the Heishui Banner Army did not affect him to collect news, these were the news he got from the old nobleman Zhuangzi around Xianyang.

"These are only three of them, and there are dozens of others, which have been sent to the shadow guard, and you can ask Zhao Zhou tomorrow for the details."

Being ignored by everyone, Li Si was very embarrassed, picked up a letter and opened it to read it, and said with a smile: "Two old nobles have each other's fiefs, and these are also considered intelligence?" ”

"Oh, Lord Li, you might as well read this letter and let everyone hear whether the information collected by Wang is considered intelligence."

"Does it count" was deliberately aggravated by him, Li Si saw that Wang Kun was displeased, and he was angry in his heart for how he repeatedly made mistakes.

It was difficult to collect the exit, Li Si picked up the letter and read it word by word, while passing on a kind look to Wang Kun, but the latter did not buy it.

“…… Ten hectares of dry land in Longnan, sold at a cheap price to Li Si ......"

"Framed, you can't believe it, a few days ago, Li arrested nearly 100 nobles, this must be their revenge, deliberately confusing the sight."

Li Si regretted that he had accepted the title deed in the first place, greedy for the development of the Western Regions trade route, and that land happened to be on the official road planned to be built, and a tavern would be opened at that time, which could be used as an heirloom.

"Hmph, Lord Li, don't be in a hurry to defend yourself, Wang Mou will ask you, is that land in your name now?"

Wang Kun's eyes were gloomy, like a hunting poisonous snake, and he spat out a letter towards Li Si.

"I'm careless, General Wang, don't get me wrong, I'm ...... It's all because I was greedy for small profits and fell into their trap. ”

The more Li Si talked, the more chaotic he became, so he could only turn to Wei Lian for help, and said eagerly: "Brother Wei, Lord Shizhong, you have to be the master of the lower officials, the lower officials bought the land that day, and they are happy to invite you to drink with all your colleagues." ”

Although I don't like Li Si, after all, they are all civil officials, and they are naturally resistant to generals like Wang Kun.

Wei Lian cleared his throat and said loudly: "Li Si did invite the official to drink that day, and these were also bought by him for cheapness, which is nothing."

Instead of spending his mind on this matter, Brother Wang should investigate Lu Buwei, Gongzi Mu wants to oppose the king's reform, and he can't forget this figure. ”

"Yesterday, the Privy Council has issued three military orders in a row, two to General Yutou of Shang Yu and one to Li Huai of Shu County.

Moreover, I received a report from Wang Hujun today that he had led 5,000 Gushan troops into Hanzhong, and with his nail, they couldn't make much waves. ”

Wang Jian continued: "The Zhou army on the east side of Hangu Pass is all going north, and Ji Zhan doesn't want to start a war with us for a while, so the last general thinks that speeding up the training and training an iron army as soon as possible not only has the blood of my old Qin people, but also can be like the Gushan soldiers, who can read and use firearms." ”

"In this regard, the king has ordered that the existing senior officers be trained at the Lishan Military Academy according to the past crash course for Gushan generals. And more than a dozen doctoral officers were dropped from Taichang Temple to explain the art of war to the officers.

Haha, this is a treatment that only a prince can enjoy, thanks to the king's love, I can also hear the teachings of these great Confucians. ”

"No, no, there is no end to learning, as long as Brother Liang is willing, it is too late to change his career to become a doctoral officer now."

"Hahaha~~"

The crowd laughed.

The embarrassment caused by Li Si disappeared under the leadership of Wei Lian, and at the same time announced the distribution of power in Zhongshu Province, and Wei Lian was the chief official.

After the meeting, Li Si returned to the mansion tremblingly, and until his wife brought him refreshments, his thighs were still trembling.

"They're forcing me to be a lonely minister."

Mrs. Li was born in a small aristocracy, and she didn't understand the sinister court, and when she heard Li Si keep repeating "lonely minister", the lonely tree did not become a forest, and she was also worried in her heart.

"Cry~"

Mrs. Li couldn't persuade Li Si, and felt that she had no woman's virtue, so her tears fell, and she wiped her tears and said: "What about the lonely minister, even if the officials of the court ignore the husband, as long as the king still makes you a court lieutenant, who dares to say no." ”

A word woke up the dreamer, the Qin State is now a strong monarch and a weak minister, and no matter how big an official is, the removal of a big official is not a matter of Zhao Zheng's words.

"Hey, Madame, it's really Li Si's fate."

Mrs. Li was still wiping her tears, I don't know what her husband remembered, and she was suddenly happy again, but happiness is always good, and she likes to hear that she hits the nobles, and she will not lose the love of husband and wife.

It was late at night, and the lights were still on in Xianyang Palace. Meng Qian still closed the door and didn't see anyone, and Zheng Sleeve's stomach was getting heavier and heavier, and it was not easy to wait. And she was afraid that Zhao Gao would enter the harem and compete with her for favor and transfer Zhao Gao away, but she asked Xiaolan to serve closely.

A bowl of lotus seed soup, Xiaolan, who is ashamed to express herself, is always so practical, Zhao Zheng twists her stiff neck, and misses her time in Yixian more and more.

Calm is temporary, turmoil is eternal.

Zhao Zheng thought of the god of Tianzhu Mountain again, what kind of person was he and what kind of technology he relied on to live for 10,000 years.

"In a game, even if you are in charge, the most interesting thing about life is not knowing what lies ahead."
