Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, Qin Xiao has been diligent in government affairs, and King Qin Huiwen has been even more well-fed and well-organized. Therefore, the early dynasties of the Qin state began much earlier than the eastern countries.

The ancients divided a day and night into twelve equal parts, called 'hours', that is, two hours are counted as one 'hour', which is named after the twelve zodiac signs.

sub-hour (twenty-three o'clock, to 0:59 the next day),

Ugly (one to two p.59),

At 3 o'clock to 4:59 a.m.,

At midnight (5 o'clock to 6:59 o'clock),

Hour (7 o'clock to 8:59 a.m.),

9 o'clock to 10:59 o'clock,

At noon (11 to 12:59),

Before (13 o'clock to 14:59 o'clock),

Deuteronomy (15 o'clock to 16:59 o'clock),

unitary time (17 o'clock to 18:59 o'clock),

(19 o'clock to 20:59 o'clock),

(21 to 22:59).

Most of the eastern countries followed the old system, and they only came to the court at sunrise to discuss things. Qin State is a rule that when the time goes to the court, the five more drums sound, whether it is the ministers or the king, must go to the court, if there is a late, not arrived, according to the law of the Qin State.

Today's court meeting, at this time, has already been on the rise, and the time for breakfast has long been missed, the ministers scolded Zhang Yi, let the contempt be incited, and then followed by a cheer, coupled with a long speech, the ministers in this hall have long been hungry.

For the ministers, this court is work, work can be divided into urgency, eating is a big deal, one by one has long been thinking about leaving the court early, so that they can go home for dinner.

The ministers also have to eat. Even King Wu of Qin Yingdang was hungry, sitting on it, his stomach growled, and he kept praying in his heart that he would disperse early.

King Wu of Qin Yingdang felt this awkwardness in his heart, thinking to himself, 'As the king of a country, above the court, when the courtiers are still discussing military affairs, he can't go to dinner first, 'you discuss first, I'm going to eat', if this is the case, the historian next to you will immediately make a note for you, on a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, the court is still undecided, and King Yingdang of Qin Wu abandoned the courtiers and left. It is estimated that this life will be over, and people thousands of years later will also know that they are a rice bucket.

Ancient historians were not ordinary. In 548 B.C., the Duke of Qi Zhuang committed adultery with Dongguo Jiang, the wife of the powerful minister Cui Zhu, and the Duke of Qi Zhuang had an excellent attitude towards this work, and every time he took the initiative to provide door-to-door service services. You go quietly, and leave quickly when you're done, it's also this Qi Zhuang Gong who is looking for death, and he also rewarded his husband Cui Zhu's hat to others.

Cui Shu was very annoyed when he found out and became murderous. Taking advantage of the next time Duke Qi Zhuang came to the tryst, he organized his cronies and killed Duke Qi Zhuang.

The monarch was killed, and then he had to give an explanation to the world and future generations, so the historian of Qi wrote 'Cui Shu killed his monarch', and Cui Shu called the historian after knowing it: 'You go back, change this paragraph, and say that Qi Zhuang Gong died of a sudden illness, do you think it's okay?' ’

The historian replied with just two words, 'no'.

'No! I'll kill you,' Cui Shu was furious.

'Kill me,' the historian replied categorically.

'Drag it out and cut it off,' Choi ordered.

You beheaded the historian, someone has to come out to record it, fortunately, the historians in ancient times were mostly hereditary, 'go, send someone to find his brother'

The second child came to see that his brother had already been in a different place, and without waiting for Cui Shu to speak, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, 'Cui Shu killed Qijun' There is nothing to discuss, if you want to kill it, you can kill it. Click-pulled out and was killed again.

"Go, see if there is anyone else in his family, find me it" Cui Shu was so annoyed in his heart, his wife let people sleep, his hat was given away, he killed the adulterer, but he will be blamed by future generations, no, he must not let more people know, he must be written as a sudden illness and died.

The samurai went to take a look, and there were two more people, one of whom they brought with them. Cui Zhu was not verbose, and asked the third child directly, whether to write or not, the third child straightened his neck, 'Cui Shu killed his king, there is no need to discuss', Cui Zhu was annoyed, thinking to himself why such a family has a tendon, life and death refuse to give in, come on, if you don't give in, then you will also die, and drag it out and kill it.

Turned around and asked the fourth, the youngest child.

'Your three brothers were all killed by me, if you don't want to die, you can write as I say, can you?' ’

Cui Zhu saw that the child did not react, and thought that there was a door to continue;

"You wrote that Qi Zhuang Gong died of a sudden illness, and it has nothing to do with me."

I saw this underage child, standing with his head held high, without the slightest fear. In a slightly immature voice, he said:

"It is the duty of a historian to record according to the facts. If you lose your responsibility, you might as well die. There is no impermeable wall in the world, these things you do will be known by the world sooner or later, even if you kill me, it will not cover up the guilt you have committed, but will become a laughing stock for the ages. ”

Cui Shu is helpless, how can I be such a family. 'Hey! After a sigh, he said;

"You go back".

In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was precisely because of the existence of these upright historians who adhered to morality and conscience that later generations were able to discover the true history, and only then did they know the allusion of 'Zhao Dun killing his king', and the existence of Dong Hu, the "ancient good history" of "calligraphy is not hidden".

King Wu of Qin was taught by the master in the court since he was a child, so he naturally understood the truth. So no matter what, I still honestly stayed in my seat, waiting for Gan Mao's report.

Gan Mao walked out of the court, came to the main hall, and said:

"Enlighten my king, Weichen has something to say."

"Aiqing! What to say, though." King Qin Wu said on it, but from the voice it made, it could be heard that he was a little tired now.

Gan Mao cleared his throat and spoke, probably because he was afraid that his hometown voice was too strong, so Gan Mao's speed of speech has always been slow, but every word has to be stressed, so listening to him is like a hammer hitting the ground.

"Enlighten my king! When Emperor Yu gave the ancestors of the Qin State the banner of soap travel, he once predicted that there would be a king in 500 years, and the Qin State would extend the heirs and spread the world.

Now, 'cutting Yiyang and Dingsanchuan' is the key to my Great Qin Empire's advance into the Central Plains and the achievement of the imperial cause. ”

"Gan Mao! Don't be clever enough to make the color confuse my king, this Yiyang, this Zhou Tianzi, is so easy to fight? Besides, I am a laborer of the Qin State on an expedition, fighting for profits for thousands of miles, how many benefits can I have." He asked loudly.

King Qin Wu looked at it, "Shout, this old guy is sick, what did you eat today?" Not only can I not see any signs of hunger, but I still speak with such confidence'.

Gan Mao said unhurriedly:

"The prime minister assists the king, regulates yin and yang, and the prime minister's major national policies, and I want to ask the prime minister a question, what is the difference between the benefits and disadvantages?"

"Humph! This also has to ask, Gan Mao is still a longitudinal and horizontal family who travels all over the world. "Zhu Li is proud of his talent, and he has the aftermath of scolding Zhang Yi, so he naturally doesn't take Gan Mao in his eyes, and he is extremely arrogant when he speaks.

"This benefit and harm, since it is mutually reinforcing, the world's affairs, there is no full benefit, naturally there is no total harm, the difficulty of the military battle lies in the detour for the straight, the harm into the advantage, as for how much benefit can make my Qin army out of the valley, cut down Korea. Extinguishing Zhou, naturally cannot be explained in words.

Military warfare is for profit, but there are also dangers in military warfare. If our soldiers go out with all their baggage, they will not be able to launch a surprise attack and kill the enemy in one blow.

If you abandon the baggage and ride a fast horse to compete for benefits, there will be a loss of equipment and baggage.

A rapid march day and night, a forced march of thirty miles to fight for profit, is generally only two-thirds of the men and horses can reach.

It was not easy to forcibly march fifty miles to compete for interests, and the soldiers were able to reach half of it.

If it is a rapid march of a hundred miles, the able-bodied soldiers can reach it, and the tired soldiers fall on the road, perhaps less than a tenth of the soldiers arrive, and these soldiers are already too tired to drive. The enemy is waiting for his work, and our lord may become a prisoner of others.

Far from the country, you can't survive without baggage, you can't survive without food supplies, and you can't survive without war supplies. "Zhu Li is worthy of being a general who marches and fights, and the analysis of the military struggle is a three-point into the wood.

"Prime Minister Li, what he said is extremely true, and he admires it very much. But here's what I want to say.

I've heard that when a thing can double the profit, all people will be eager to try it;

Bring twice the profit, everyone is willing to try;

If it brings five times the profit, some people will choose to take risks.

If it can bring ten times the profit, there are people who are willing to trample on all the systems and laws of the world to complete it.

If it is more than a hundred times the profit, I think even if it is killed, there will be people who are willing to try.

And today we are sending troops to attack South Korea. The destruction of the Zhou Dynasty and the occupation of the capital of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty is a key step for us to enter the Central Plains and achieve the imperial cause.

What Prime Minister Yuli was worried about was that South Korea and Wei and Zhao were originally one, and he was afraid that Wei and Zhao would take advantage of the bloody battle between our army and the Korean army.

As long as the alliance between Korea and Wei is cracked and Wei is won to our side, it is impossible for Zhao to cross Wei to rescue Korea.

Even if Yiyang has an iron wall and enough soldiers, under the attack of my Great Qin, it will be broken sooner or later. ”

Ren Yan listened to another main battle faction, what he said really makes sense, he is a martial artist, he only knows how to talk about things around him, you look at Gan Mao, how convincing he is.

Seeing that he was speechless at this time, he thought to himself, 'This kid is even more powerful than Zhang Yi, he got to the point in a few words, and his talent in military theory is not under me, no, if he lets this kid gain power, he will be laid off sooner or later, and he has to find a way to stop him', thinking of this, he hurriedly thought about countermeasures.

Of course, the happiest is to belong to King Yingdang of Qin Wu, who wants to enter the Central Plains, but he has no way to convince everyone, now that he is good, there is Gan Mao, think about his idea of a day trip to Luoyang City, it will be realized soon, and he is indescribably happy in his heart, although he has not started fighting, at least no one has objected to it at present. His hungry stomach did not feel hungry at this time, and he quickly stood up and said:

"Gan Mao, what you say is reasonable." Before he could finish speaking, he stepped forward and interrupted:

"Qi my king, what Gan Mao said is reasonable, but who is going to break up the Han Wei Alliance?"

When King Qin Wu heard this, he thought to himself, 'That's right! Who's going to do this? After thinking about it, isn't Zhang Yi going? It's better to let him break it up' Thinking of this, he quickly said:

"This matter, you might as well pass on the order, and Zhang Yi will handle it together."

"No! Never, my lord! "King Qin Wu Yingdang looked at it and turned out to be Gan Mao.

At the beginning, he united with the ministers to fight Zhang Yi, his current idea is to unite Zhang Yi, who has lost his power, to fight Gan Mao, in fact, Zhu Li Ji knows very well in his heart that Zhang Yi is very likely to never return, but if Gan Mao does this, whether it is in the mind of King Yingdang of Qin Wu, or in the prestige of the hundred officials will be greatly improved, and the rise and fall will greatly reduce his prestige in the court, to put it bluntly, Gan Mao is his biggest political opponent.

Fang Cai seemed to be kind enough to remind King Qin Wu that Yingdang was actually trying to weaken Gan Mao's plan execution.

Gan Mao naturally understood it, and thought to himself, 'You are an old thing, you scolded Zhang Yi just now, and now you still want to block my future, Lao Tzu will not agree' Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked out, but he didn't think that Qin Wu Wang Yingdang had already said the appointment, no way, for the sake of his own future, he went out, and there was a scene of confrontation with Qin Wu Wang Yingdang.

Hearing the appointment of King Yingdang of Qin Wu, he was happy in his heart, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, 'Gan Mao fights with me, you are still too tender', the smile on the corner of his mouth has not subsided, and Gan Mao came out to confront King Yingdang of Qin Wu.

Zhu Li thought to himself, 'It's amazing, Gan Mao actually dared to contradict King Qin Wu's Yingdang, which shows that this person's ambition is not small! No, you have to find a way to suppress his arrogance' Thinking of this, he hurriedly said:

"Bold Ganmao, my king has already arranged, you dare to contradict my king, you are guilty"

Gan Mao took a look, today he was carrying the disease with himself, and he also let it out, thinking that if he didn't settle your disease, how would Lao Tzu mix in this area in the future?

"Prime Minister Li, today's court meeting, my king has already spoken in advance, knows everything, says everything, can't hide it, what is the crime of me Gan Mao for the country today?"

King Qin Wu Yingdang saw that the courtiers were arguing, and he was still more partial to Gan Mao in this matter, so King Qin Wu Yingdang hurriedly came out of the round and said:

"You are all the pillars of my Great Qin, today's court meeting is also for my Great Qin's century-old plan, you can't be rash, let alone have remarks, I don't think you should make a big fuss, be a minister with the court, don't hurt the harmony, Gan Mao, what do you have to say, just say it!"

Gan Mao saw that with the support of King Yingdang of Qin Wu, he naturally had more confidence in his heart, and he had the bottom in his heart, so he naturally had more momentum when he spoke.

"Qi my king, Zhang Yi is only going to divide the strength of Wei, but he can't break up the Han-Wei alliance, let alone get the support of Wei, Zhang Yi is not the best candidate."

"Gan Mao, look at this, who can take on this great responsibility", Qin Wu Wang Yingdang asked.

"Enlighten my king, it is most appropriate for me to go to this matter by myself!" Gan Mao replied.

Zhu Liji's heart was shocked, if Qin Wu Wang Yingdang agreed, this thing would be done by Gan Mao, but now it is no longer feasible to come forward to block it, it is better to be a favor, thinking of this, Zhu Lijian said:

"This matter is handed over to Gan Mao to do, it is most appropriate, when Zhang Yi offered a plan to the first king to break up the Qichu Alliance, he personally got on the horse, Gan Mao went, if there was an emergency, it was difficult for others to deal with it, Gan Mao could naturally deal with it."

"Good! Today's DPRK meeting decided to attack South Korea. Extinguish the week! Gather the army today, prepare grain and grass, and after the ploughing ceremony next year, Gan Mao will send an envoy to Wei, what doubts do the courtiers have? King Qin Wu asked in a loud voice.

I saw that all the ministers under the court knelt on the ground one after another, and the mountain shouted long live, no problem.

At the same time, a group of Chu merchants selling sea salt were rushing to Luoyang, and Zhang Yi's carriages and horses were also walking out of the east gate of Xianyang one after another.
