Chapter 40: Le Yi Passes Away
King Qin's Palace, Upper Study.
Qin Yiren was handling official business, and Huang Shigong came in happily, and reported to Qin Yiren, saying: "Your Majesty, the general has good news, and the Qi country is dead." ”
"Good!" Qin Yiren raised his head, he was very happy, and said with a smile: "As soon as the widow returned to Xianyang, Wang Jian destroyed the Qi State, he pinched his fingers and calculated it, right?" ”
Qin Yiren led 100,000 Qin troops to the border of Chu State, with great fanfare, posing as if Qin State had mobilized 500,000 troops, which was very good to confuse Chu State. As soon as the goal was achieved, Qin Yiren hurried back to Xianyang, but after the destruction of Han and Wei, there were too many government affairs to deal with, and he couldn't afford to put it off.
Of course, Qin Yiren left his own guard of honor, and asked the Qin army to shake his guard of honor from time to time, and then confuse the Chu State.
"Huh!" Qin Yiren's words were a bit ridiculous, and the Huangshi Guild smiled.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" At this moment, I saw Le Jian Fei rushing in, and shouted from afar.
Qin Yiren took a look, only to see that Lejian's eyes were red, and his face was anxious, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Lejian, what happened to you?" ”
"Your Majesty, Father......" Le Jian knew that Le Yi's time was running out, and sorrow came from it, rubbing his eyes, and he couldn't say any more.
"What? Mr. Le Yi ...... "Qin Yiren was shocked.
Qin Yiren respects Le Yi very much, firstly, because Le Yi is highly respected and worthy of respect. Moreover, Le Yi has a lot of support and help for Qin Yiren, so to speak, if there was no Le Yi to help, there would be no Qin Yiren today.
At the beginning, Qin Yiren wanted to handle the material ceremony, and it was Le Yi who helped him. Invite Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi for Qin Yiren. and served as a judge of the Straw Ceremony. It can be said that it is as heavy as a mountain.
At first hearing this, Qin Yiren couldn't help but be surprised.
"Your Majesty, Father wants to see you." Lema finally breathed a sigh of relief and told the story.
"Quick! Fast! Fast! Qin Yiren said as he flew out.
Le Yi wanted to see Qin Yiren at this time, and he knew without thinking about it that there must be something big, and Qin Yiren couldn't help but be in a hurry.
"Your Majesty. Slow down. Huang Shigong raised his throat and shouted, but saw that Qin Yiren was running faster, so he had to chase after him from behind.
Rakuma took a step and rushed out as if flying.
In this way, Qin Yiren rushed to Le Yi's mansion in a hurry, and rushed to Le Yi's sickbed, only to see that Le Yi's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and his eyes were scattered, so he didn't need to think about it. Le Yi has reached the point of death.
"Sir." Qin Yiren's eyes turned red, and his eyes flowed out.
Le Yi was very helpful to Qin Yiren. It is precisely because of Le Yi's help that Qin Yiren successfully managed the material ceremony, became the first person in the world, moved the world, and had a pivotal position, so that he could win the throne of King Qin.
"Your Majesty." Le Yi spoke very hard, looking at Qin Yiren, his eyes were full of relief.
Qin Yiren's intelligence, Le Yi admired it very much. What's more, Qin Yiren has the capacity of a person, he does not steal the limelight from his subordinates, such as handing over the opportunity to command the Qin army to Li Mu, which is not something that ordinary people can do, and this measure is heartbreaking for everyone.
"Your Majesty, the minister's time is not ...... Many, there is a saying...... No...... It's not ...... Say. Le Yi mustered up his strength and stammered: "The Qi Kingdom has been destroyed...... Don't ...... Irritable. Should be ...... first Solid root ...... Ben, slow ...... Fig...... Clear. ”
The sound is getting smaller and smaller, like a gnat, if it weren't for Qin Yiren's good ear sound, he would definitely not be able to hear it clearly.
After saying a word, Le Yi's neck was crooked, his eyes were gloomy, and he passed away.
"Sir is worried about the world, and strangers dare not remember it." Qin Yiren came from grief, wept loudly, and bowed to Le Yi's body.
Before Le Yi died, he was still giving advice to Qin Yiren and telling Qin Yiren, this character is admirable.
"Father!" Le Jian pounced on him, shaking Le Yi's body, crying miserably.
Huang Shigong wiped his tears and bowed deeply to Leyi's body.
Le Yi looks forward to the world, and everyone has to admire, even Huangshi Gong is no exception.
"Your Majesty, how to deal with Mr. Le Yi's funeral?" Huang Shigong asked.
"Thick burial! Be sure to bury it thickly! Qin Yiren didn't think about it, and blurted out.
"Very good." Huang Shigong also agreed, reminding Qin Yidao: "Your Majesty, the state affairs are complicated, please go back to the palace." ”
There were originally many government affairs in the Qin State, not only the ministers, but also the monarchs. After the destruction of the Three Kingdoms of Han Wei and Qi, there will be more government affairs, Qin Yiren really has no time to stay here anymore, he should go back to the palace, and said to Lejian: "Lejian, Mr.'s future affairs, the widow will deal with it, you can mourn and change." ”
"Thank you." The music is a gift to the stranger.
Qin Yiren left Le Yi's mansion with red eyes and returned to the palace. As soon as I arrived at the study, I saw Fan Sui, Wei Yi, Meng Wu, and Cai Ze all coming, all with happy faces.
"Your Majesty, what happened to you?" Fan Sui was amazed when he saw Qin Yiren's grief in his eyes.
"Mr. Le Yi is gone." Qin Yiren's voice was a little low, and he was very sad.
"What?" An exclamation sounded, coming from the mouths of Fan Sui, Wei Yi, Meng Wu and Cai Ze, all of them with their mouths wide open, their faces in disbelief.
Le Yi is not only extraordinary, but also a respectable elder, and everyone had to be shocked when they heard the news of his death.
"Hey!" Fan Sui sighed, looking lonely.
Fan Sui is younger than Le Yi, barely the same generation, Bai Qi died, Le Yi died again, Fan Sui's contemporaries are even less, and he will inevitably be lonely.
"Sit down." Qin Yiren beckoned everyone to sit down and said, "When Mr. passed away, tell the widow to consolidate the root first, and slow down Tuchu, what do you think?" ”
"Mr. is really noble, and he will not forget the world when he dies." Fan Sui sighed.
Everyone nodded in unison, in agreement.
At the last moment of his life, Le Yi still did not forget the world, and he was still telling Qin Yiren to give advice to the Qin State, no matter how much praise he had.
"Sir, I am in favor of it." The first to agree was not Fan Sui, Huang Shigong and Wei Yi, but Meng Wu.
In the old days. Meng Wu was often the last to speak. And there are many differences from people. Today, he was the first to agree, which made Qin Yiren a little surprised, looked at Meng Wu, and asked, "Meng Wu, how can you see it?" ”
"Your Majesty, what do you think, the Great Qin Ruishi marched eastward, and destroyed the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Qi in two years. How fast is that? Meng Wu's head was raised, his chest was straight, he was very proud, and said: "This is all the good fighting of the Great Qin Ruishi and the good strategy of the general." However, there are many problems with the rapid destruction of the country. First, there are too many places that Great Qin has expanded, and it is extremely necessary to govern, which will take time. ”
"Hmm." Everyone nodded in agreement.
The state of Qin destroyed the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Qi in two years. The territory of the Qin State doubled at once, and the number of people increased dramatically. Governance is critically needed. If it can't be governed well, not only will it not be able to use the power of Han Wei and Qi, but there will be big problems, and even turmoil will occur.
"The second is that Daqin has a wide territory, and there are more sharp soldiers who need to be stationed. After defeating the Three Kingdoms of Han, Wei and Qi, Great Qin needed to divide 200,000 troops to garrison. The Great Qin Ruishi brought to Shandong by the general can be used to defeat Chu, but there are only 100,000. In other words, the current army of Great Qin is far from enough, and a new army must be trained. Meng Wu's eyes sparkled.
This is also very reasonable, the land of Qin is wider, and there are more cities, however, the problem also comes, and the army stationed everywhere also needs more.
You must know that although the Three Kingdoms of Han and Wei Qi were destroyed, there are still many remnant forces, and the princes and nobles of various countries, the powerful families, are still in the local area, if they can't garrison enough troops to deter, they will definitely rebel, which will make these three places turbulent.
At present, the Qin State is not free to deal with these noble relics, but wants to sweep away the nations. These remnants will have to wait until the nations have been wiped out.
The three places of Han Wei and Qi are very vast, larger than the original Qin State, and they are garrisoned by 200,000 troops, which is the lowest number. In this way, the army of the Qin State will not be enough, if the army is used against the Chu State now, if it wants to destroy the Chu State, the Qin State will have more than enough strength and insufficient strength.
Consolidate the fundamentals first, govern the land of the Three Kingdoms of Han Wei and Qi well, clean up the hearts of the people, train a new army, and then come to destroy Chu, it will be much easier. This is the wisdom of Le Yi's telling Qin Yiren before his death to "consolidate the book first, and slow down the Tuchu".
"What General Meng said is extremely true, and the ministers approve of it." Fan Sui: They all expressed their positions.
"Hmm." Qin Yiren nodded heavily and said, "The Chu State is backward, and it is controlled by the big clans, even if the Chu State knows that Great Qin will definitely destroy Chu, it is difficult for the Chu State to change." Even if it changes, it will be difficult to improve its strength, and it will not be able to compete with Great Qin, so it is okay to postpone the destruction of Chu. ”
The state of Chu was the most backward of the seven warring states, with vast land, cities, and a large population, but it failed to exert its due strength. Don't say anything else, let's talk about the military, in the Warring States Period, the Chu State was still using the Spring and Autumn Period for car warfare. During the Warring States Period, chariots had been obtained for cavalry, and the state of Chu was still using chariots in large quantities, which was too speechless.
Not to mention, the government of Chu is controlled by the big families, and they will definitely refuse to change for their own interests, which is the reason why Wu Qi and Qu Yuan failed to change the law in Chu State.
Therefore, postponing the destruction of Chu will not be disadvantageous to the Qin State, but will be very beneficial. The Qin State can completely "digest" the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Qi with all its strength before destroying Chu, and if the governance is successful, the strength of the Qin State will be unprecedentedly strong.
"Your Majesty!" Fan Sui and they praised in unison.
At present, the great cause of unification pursued by the Qin State is progressing smoothly, and the six states of Shandong have been destroyed by the Qin State by four of them, leaving only the Chu State and the Yan State, which can be said to be a very good situation, and only need to work harder, these two can also be destroyed.
It was under such circumstances that Qin Yiren was able to make the decision to suspend Tu Chu, which was indeed admirable.
Who wouldn't want to destroy the Warring States with the most extensive territory of Chu and complete the great cause of unification? It can be said that it is a great temptation at the moment, Qin Yiren is unmoved, this is too rare.
"Your Majesty, the land is new, and it is urgent to send someone to govern, and please choose someone from your lordship." Fan Sui reminded.
"Who does the prime minister think he can do?" Qin Yiren took a look at everyone present, and it was a little difficult to do.
"This ......" Fan Sui thought about it, but he couldn't think of a suitable candidate.
Wang Juan, Li Si, Fan Zeng, and Cai Ze are all fine, the problem is that they all have something to do and can't get out.
"Talent, it's still too few." Qin Yiren sighed and said, "Look, this matter can only be taken by Huangshi." The matter of the long history will be temporarily replaced by Wei Yu. ”
Huang Shigong is not only proficient in military affairs, but also has political talents, and it is very appropriate to send him there, and everyone has no objections.
"No." Huang Shigong did not refuse, and happily accepted the order.
"Tian Jian was escorted to Xianyang, and Hou Sheng was beheaded on the spot, and his head was used to collect the hearts of the people." Qin Yiren's eyes flashed.
Hou Sheng is a traitor, he must not be let go, behead him on the spot, he can really win the hearts of the people, this is waste utilization. (To be continued......)
