Sinjeong, South Korea.

Approaching the end of the year, every family is busy. This year has been particularly important for South Korea, where the new law has benefited all people. Although there were droughts and floods during the summer, the victims in various parts of the country survived the various support policies perfected by the new law.

Now, every household has been liquidated and found that there is still a lot of surplus grain left under such circumstances. This would have been unthinkable in the past. You must know that in a disaster year, scenes of starvation for thousands of miles and selling women to raise children can be seen everywhere. Under such circumstances, many peasants had to sell their land cheaply in exchange for a temporary chance to live! But now, the people of South Korea can still live a bumper year.

However, one of the Korean ministers was not very happy. He is Liu Guang, the history of Su Nei. Zhisu Neishi was in charge of paying taxes and grain, and Han Wangran waved his hand and exempted many people from paying taxes on money and grain. The people benefited, but on the contrary, the country suffered.

However, fortunately, Han Wangran is not a stingy villain. He immediately withdrew a large amount of money and grain from his "small treasury" to maintain the normal operation of the country. Zhisu Neishi manages the treasury, and Shaofu manages the monarch's private money. Mountains, rivers and swamps do not need to be handed over to the national treasury, and all the output used in them belongs to the Shaofu. In the case of hot sales of tea, it is difficult for Shaofu Chen Sui to think about whether he is rich or not. Therefore, as soon as Han Wangran said it, Chen Sui acted according to his orders.

Time quietly shifted to 270 BC, the third year after Han Wangran succeeded to the throne. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, it is still the New Year ceremony. As in last year's situation, it was still Han Wangran who welcomed all the nobles and ministers to the table. It's just that Queen Ji Miao's body is getting heavier and heavier, and her actions are not cheap, so the queen did not participate in this year's ceremony.

The staggered selection of the guests and the host are happy. At the end of the banquet. Han Wangran left Prime Minister Zhang Ping, Imperial Historian Fan Sui, Taiwei Storm Kite, Wei Wei Li Mu, Lang Zhongling Meng Xi, and Yingchuan County Lieutenant Wei Zhe left. The rest of the people understood at a glance that there must be a major military matter to be discussed. After all, four of the six were military generals.

And that's exactly what happened! The past year seems to have been peaceful, but the feedback from Fangfang shows that countries continue to make small moves. Although South Korea wanted to stay out of it, it was unwittingly involved. The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and there are few things in this world that are wishful.

Han Wangran looked around at the ministers in the audience. He smiled with satisfaction. These people are the foundation of their future hegemony in the world, and they are also the most outstanding elites of this era. As long as there are them, assisted by patience and the right direction, why worry that the world cannot be returned to Korea!

"Ladies and gentlemen! It is getting late, but the widow has forced you to come down and discuss the affairs of the state. When you go home, Mrs. Zun won't embarrass you, right? ”

The crowd laughed and laughed happily. This year, South Korea has resumed the construction of people's livelihood step by step, and there is no war. In such an atmosphere, Han Wangran made a joke. Harmless.

"Especially our guard captain Li Mu, who is newly married Yan'er. Your lady is the widow's cousin, but as far as the widow knows, she has a bad temper! Will I send you back later? Han Wangran quipped.

Li Mu shook his head with a smile, how could Wan'er's temper be as Han Wangran said. The ministers smiled kindly at Li Mu.

After joking, Han Wangran said unhurriedly: "The widow left you here today because he had something important to discuss. Whatever you hear or see later. The widow wants you to forget about it when you walk out of this hall, do you hear clearly? ”

Seeing that Han Wangran said so solemnly. Everyone also looked stunned, and solemnly replied: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

Han Wangran nodded with satisfaction and said, "You all know that the widow has an internal guard, called Fang. Specializing in spying on intelligence and poisoning enemy leaders. Now that the widow has received reliable news, the Qin State has secretly colluded with the Qi State. Plotting the land of Chu! Under the lure of the Wei State, he also agreed to participate in it. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes, followed by a burst of whispering. This news is amazing! Wei would actually betray the alliance! In everyone's opinion, the Wei State, which was originally the sworn enemy of the Qin State, would actually cooperate with the Qin State. This is naked betrayal!

"Your Majesty! Is this news really reliable? Zhang Ping, the old and respectful prime minister, took the lead in asking. Although Han Wangran had assured that the source was reliable, Zhang Ping still subconsciously re-asked.

Han Wangran nodded extremely solemnly and said, "It's true! However, according to the intelligence, Wei Guo should not know about this! In other words, in fact, it was the State of Qi that blinded the State of Wei! ”

Zhang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wei Guo didn't have a heart! There is a lot of difference between intentional and unintentional. It's just that Zhang Ping wondered how much benefit Qi used to tempt Wei and make Wei so risky!

Everyone's tense hearts were also relaxed, as long as Wei did not betray the alliance, then there was room for redemption. Some people even began to think about how to turn big things into small things, put aside the responsibilities of Wei State, and let Wei State continue to act as a big anti-Qin meat shield in front of South Korea!

Han Wangran looked at everyone's expressions, he paused deliberately just now, he didn't see the panic and fear in everyone's eyes, he only saw worry, which made Han Wangran very satisfied. At this time, Han Wangran continued: "Don't worry! The strategy of Qi and Wei was to gradually encroach on the land of Chu, and when Chu sent troops north in a fit of rage, Qin would come forward and attack Yingdu with a thunderous momentum and destroy Chu. Therefore, in less than two or three years, the state of Chu only has the itch of scabies! ”

In the face of Han Wangran's comfort, Doctor Yu Shi said bluntly, and said with emotion: "The king's meaning is understood. However, if we don't do anything, we in Korea will only have a period of peace of mind for two or three years. From the perspective of the ministers, it is better to send various secret squads to prevent the Qin State from destroying the Chu State. ”

Han Wangran nodded, this was one of his plans. However, the overall plan needs to be discussed after the second shocking news has been said.

"The second news is even more shocking, I hope you are mentally prepared!" As soon as he heard Han Wangran's words, the minister's face, which had calmed down a little, also became solemn, and Han Wangran's tone unconsciously made the ministers feel that the next thing would have a great impact on South Korea.

"The State of Chu has persuaded the State of Yan, and the State of Zhao has also agreed to the fact that the State of Yan has joined the matter of destroying Qi." Han Wangran was concise and to the point.

The group has heard about it since then. Huang Xie, the left disciple of the Chu State, came to Xinzheng and did plot something with King Han! But then it didn't happen. Now that the ministers know, it turns out that Huang Xie wanted to pull South Korea together to fight and reap the benefits, but he didn't want to fight and was rejected by Han Wangran.

The two things just now directly stirred up the general trend of the world very unclear. Now Qin, Wei, and Qi are going to attack Chu, and Zhao, Yan, and Chu are going to attack Qi. This is an irreconcilable contradiction, from the perspective of interests. The State of Qi and the State of Chu are already on the same page, and they are also the fuse of the two groups. Wei Guo, who was supposed to be on the side of Zhao and Yan, might have the possibility of defecting!

Now, South Korea is the only one out of the picture. However, can South Korea continue to stay out of the situation now? Or is it good for South Korea to stay out of the way? The ministers soon knew that Han Wangran summoned himself to discuss how to deal with it, and how to correct South Korea's attitude was what Han Wangran was most concerned about.

Han Wangran's next words did not disappoint the ministers. He said: "Ladies and gentlemen, around Qi and Wei, two huge whirlpools have formed in the world. Whether South Korea will continue to stand on its own feet or join one of the camps, you may wish to talk about it. ”

Imperial Doctor Fan Sui and Prime Minister Zhang Ping glanced at each other, knowing that Han Wangran was waiting for his judgment. They both saw a lot in each other's eyes, and they saw conservatism.

Therefore, Prime Minister Zhang Ping, who was the first to speak, said: "The minister thinks that the reason why the Qin State and the Qi State are temporarily united. It is for the state of Chu. The reason why the State of Chu wanted to lobby the State of Yan to join was for the State of Qi. If Qi is not there. Zhao, Yan and Wei will not have contradictions. If Chu was not there, Wei, Qi and Qin would not even intersect. We have just entered the second year of the Korean reform, and the people need to recuperate. If the war starts lightly, it will not be good for the Seven Kingdoms. Therefore, the minister thought that I, South Korea, should stay out of the matter, and the main force would not participate in it. ”

"What do you mean?" Han Wangran knew a little about Zhang Ping's thoughts.

"The minister's idea is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" Zhang Ping's answer was also vivid.

Imperial Doctor Fan Sui was the second to stand up. said: "The minister also agrees with Prime Minister Zhang's idea. However, the longer the melee drags on, the better it will be for our South Korea. Chen Jian yì made some small actions to involve the energy of various countries. For example, the state of Chu could have been done in three years. We secretly help the State of Chu, which can be delayed for five or six years! However, these actions must be secretive, otherwise they will set yourself on fire! ”

Han Wangran thought it was true, after learning about the grand goals and plans of each country, he felt that it was best for him to keep a certain distance from the six countries, it was easy to get involved when it was close, and it was easy to be suppressed collectively if it was far away.

Taiwei Tyrant Kite was originally a stupid conservative, and seeing that two of the three dukes supported this Jianyi, he naturally did not oppose it. Besides, he cherishes the lives of his subordinates, and it is a good thing to be able to lose a day of war, maybe he can have dozens or hundreds of more offspring if he sets off one day late.

"I think that my big plan in South Korea today is to concentrate on changing the law and accumulating strength! When they are both defeated, my South Korea can take half of the Chu State, or two or three counties, in one go! Storm Kite said.

Han Wangran smiled even more, he had actually hesitated to promote Tyrant Kite to the rank of lieutenant in the first place. The ability of the tyrannical kite is put there, and the record is limited, and the other is a bit old-fashioned, he is a model of a traditional soldier, but it is not what Han Wangran thinks in his heart. However, out of the need to stabilize the overall situation, he finally put him in the position of Tai Lieutenant, just considering his prestige and his age! Now it seems that it is in line with the reality of South Korea.

Seeing Han Wangran staring at him, Wei Wei Li Mu knew that his opportunity to speak had arrived. "The minister thinks that our country should be prepared second-hand, on the one hand, if the Wei State breaks with my Zhao State and Yan State because of this matter, our South Korea's countermeasures. The two are to concentrate on one battlefield, such as the state of Qi or the state of Chu. After all, these two battlefields involve the whole body. ”

Lang Zhong Ling Meng Si echoed: "That's right! If all countries come according to the plan, then there will be a scene of Qi and Chu stumbling, Qin attacking Chu, and Zhao and Yan attacking Qi. At this time, whether Wei will continue to choose to annex part of the territory of Chu or choose to abandon the darkness and turn to the Ming and turn to the Qi State, this is related to the general trend of the world! The minister thinks that we in South Korea only need to go to the battlefield of Chu State left and right. Whatever the outcome, you can make a profit from it! This is one of them. Second, Chu is the closest to our South Korea. This can be used to suppress the Qin State! ”

The lieutenant of Yingchuan County, "Huangshi Gong" Wei Zhe nodded and said in solidarity: "That's true! The minister also thought that it was best to deal with this matter like this! However, there is only one thing that the minister is worried about, that is, since the fangs of the king can detect this information, most of the Qin State will also know. In such a situation, what kind of response did the Qin Congress make! This is hard to assert. ”

Zhang Ping: They listened. The heart is also a rin. Indeed, if the Qin State also knew about the plans of various countries, it would really be dangerous and dangerous. The Qin State is bound to change its plans, or it will be calculated!

Han Wangran smiled confidently and said, "If it had been changed before, it would indeed be very likely that the Black Ice Platform of the Qin State would have known. However, the state of Chu acted so carefully this time, and the widow also deduced it. Qin Guo is afraid that it is difficult to know. Second, the fanged people monitored Huang Xie and his party all the way. Someone even infiltrated the mission, unless the Black Ice Platform had an inner inside, there should not be such a situation where Wei Junwei appeared. Of course, the widow will send someone to keep an eye on the movements of the Qin State, and he will not be careless! ”

Han Wangran assured him like this, and Wei Qu naturally had nothing to say. The six ministers had no opinion, and the next discussion focused on how to make careful arrangements to make the most of South Korea's game. Most!

Qin State, Xianyang.

On the twentieth day of the first month. A major event happened in the Qin State, and the famous Empress Dowager of the Qin State suddenly collapsed in Ganquan Palace. The king of Qin announced the great mourning of the whole country, and said Xuan, and later history books called it the Empress Dowager Xuan.

Empress Dowager Xuan's life is a legendary life, and in the early years she was the favorite concubine of King Qin Hui. If it weren't for the death of King Qin Hui's son, King Wu of Qin, who would not have left a single word in the history books. Not to mention that she was unknown outside at that time and acted as the son of the proton - King Qin Zhao.

But history played a joke on her, with the help of her half-brother Wei Ran, she successfully put her son on the throne and has been in power since then. If it weren't for the appearance of Han Ran's butterfly, she should still have supreme power at this moment. Even with the merit of booby-trapping King Yiqu, King Qin Zhao's expression was even more respectful.

But the contradiction between brother and brother was re-energized under a series of changes, and the second son of the Empress Dowager Xuan, Gongzi City, rebelled and was killed! The third son died violently for no reason, and this series of blows made the Empress Dowager Xuan, who could have lived for another five or six years, bid farewell to this era that should have belonged to her in advance.

Although she did all kinds of things that dissatisfied King Qin Zhao, and although she had also disgraced herself, with the death of Empress Dowager Xuan, King Qin Zhao felt that everything was over. According to the last wish of the Empress Dowager Xuan, King Qin buried him in Lishan Mountain, Zhiyang, which is not a small distance from the northern plains of King Qin Hui. Empress Dowager Xuan said that this was the first opportunity for her and King Qin Hui to meet, and she had done too many things to be sorry for the former king in this life, so she could only apologize for her sins!

After arranging the funeral of the Empress Dowager Xuan, King Qin breathed a sigh of relief. The dead are gone, but the living have to keep trying. Now it is a heavy snow to close the road, and when the spring of the next year begins, after the busy spring ploughing, it is necessary to disturb the countries well. King Qin wants to let all countries know that although he is unwilling to go out to meet the enemy at the moment, he will also make all countries miserable for themselves. Just like South Korea, it's okay to send its own elite and create some white terror. If it doesn't hurt the other party, it can also be disgusting to the other party.

There is life and there is death, and where there is death there is life! Yan country, Jicheng.

Somewhere in the palace hall is now a maternity ward, and the queen is giving birth. Incense burned around the whole hall, and the mother-in-law went in and out, bringing hot water in from time to time, and bringing out the blood-colored sewage. Yan Wang Xin kept walking and stopping, sometimes excitedly trying to pull the hurried midwife, but finally gave up!

"Don't panic! Don't panic! It's going to be fine! King Yan kept cheering himself up.

Seeing the beads of sweat on his face and the look on his face that looked up at the sky from time to time betrayed him, finally, he could no longer bear the torment, and scolded the eunuch Ling who had been following him: "Go quickly! Why hasn't the queen been born yet? ”

The eunuch made the fart crawl up, and he didn't know why he hadn't given birth yet. King Yan kicked him like this, and the eunuch Ling also felt wronged. But the other party is King Yan, who is high up, and he can only endure it. Although I have never experienced giving birth to a child, of course, the eunuch order can't give birth even if he wants to, hehe, but the eunuch order also knows that giving birth to a child in this era is the most dangerous time for a woman, and if the fetus is slightly misplaced, it is one corpse and two lives. Surely this is not the case for the queen! The eunuch Ling muttered secretly in his heart.

"Ahh Bah! "The eunuch slapped himself! Spit out unlucky words. casually pulled a mother-in-law, and the eunuch Ling roared: "What's going on inside? ”

"Inside! Inside! The mother-in-law was obviously very flustered. The eunuch's face immediately sank, it seems that something is not good inside!

At this time, the new chamberlain was not long-sighted, and ran to King Yan with a letter that had just been urgently dispatched from Xinzheng 800 miles, and said, "Your Majesty! The princess has a letter! ”

"Get out of here!" King Yan kicked over. The situation inside is so bad, this waiter still dares to ask for credit? I'm really impatient.

The eunuch Ling reciprocated with sympathetic eyes, but on the surface, his face was pale! At this time, the cry of a baby was heard in the delivery room. (To be continued......)
