Chapter 68: The Problem of Protons
The dusty Gongzi City has finally returned to Xianyang. Except for a mob that tried to storm the mission, there was no danger along the way. This can't help but make Gongzishi start to doubt his own thoughts, could it be that his brother really doesn't want to take the opportunity to get rid of himself?
After pretending to be drunk, he told the "true intentions" of the Qin State, thinking that the Chu State would not really form an alliance after knowing it. But after all, the alliance is only a formality, and more importantly, the two countries will send protons to each other after that. Would the state of Chu send the crown prince as a hostage in this situation? Who will Brother Wang send as a proton?
With such a question, Gongzi City participated in the first court meeting back to Xianyang.
"Wanhou ignored the difficulties this time, visited the state of Chu and facilitated the alliance between Qin and Chu, which is really a great achievement. Oh, announce the reward of the widow. King Qin motioned with his eyes that the attendants beside him could announce the decree.
The eunuch Ling respectfully took a few steps back, turned around, and said: "The king has a decree: Wanhou City is both wise and brave, and the hard work is high, and the widow is very comforted. With a reward of 500,000 yuan and 10 pairs of jade. ”
"Thank you, the king, the ministers must be conscientious and conscientious, and live up to the king's trust." After Gongzi City heard King Qin's royal decree, he also immediately got up, walked out of the team and knelt down to thank him.
"Wanhou's talent and loyalty, few people know. This alliance with the Chu State is also a last resort, and the Yingdu finally attacked it, and it will be returned to the Chu State when it changes hands, and the widow hates it! King Qin sighed.
"The ministers are guilty!" As the so-called king humiliated the ministers to death, all the ministers in the hall hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty after hearing the words of King Qin.
The king of Qin ignored it and said: "The so-called meritorious service will be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, it will be punished, this is the foundation of my Great Qin country." In the past two months, our Great Qin has lost its troops and lost its territory. Today, Wu Anjun happened to lead the army back to counter the rebellion, and the people were all together, so let's calculate the merits. Where is the eunuch order? Proclaim! ”
"Whoa!" The eunuch Ling immediately picked up the holy decree that had been prepared long ago, and said: "There is a decree on the king: the former Yique Taishou Gongsun Yun treason and surrendered to the enemy, and the crime is unforgivable, and the family property will be confiscated, and the clan will be razed to set an example." ”
"The king has a decree: the original Yiyang Taishou is loyal to Shoujing to serve the country, fight to the death and not retreat, raise the prestige of my Great Qin, and posthumously give him a loyal martial monarch and reward 100,000 yuan."
"The king has a decree: Taizhong Doctor You, Zhongda Doctor, unknown people, recommended Liyang to make Feng Di flee first in fear of the war, and remove him from his post and make him return home to reflect. Yi Feng Di two tribes. ”
"The king has an order: Chen Cang ordered Hua Ao to be negligent on duty, causing Chen Cang to lose 200,000 stone of grain and grass, and he was sentenced to half the cut and confiscated his family property."
"The king has an order: Wu Anjun is unfavorable to start a war, loses his troops and loses generals, remembers the rebellion of the canal, and the merits and demerits are offset by the merits, and he will be punished for three years to set an example."
"The king has a decree: this defeat, Prime Minister Wei Ran has the responsibility of the inspector who is unfavorable, and the king remembers the hard work and high achievements, and is punished for three years."
The eunuch decree pronounced a full twelve royal decrees in one breath, except for those who had died in battle and those who had defected to the enemy, the rest of the ministers all thanked the king. King Qin looked at the quiet ministers in the audience, and asked playfully, "Are there any people who are not convinced?" ”
"The ministers are happy and convinced." No matter how stupid a person is, he knows that King Qin is already magnanimous, and he did not strictly hold them accountable, but only beat them a few times as a warning, of course, he was convinced.
"Good! Just be convinced. What is the history of Zhisu? King Qin continued to ask.
"The minister is here." A steady middle-aged man walked out.
"Have you counted my Great Qin's losses this time?" King Qin asked.
"Returning to the king, the relevant losses have been counted: a total of 130,000 people, 60,000 soldiers, 800,000 stone of grain, and millions of dollars in money have been lost."
"What about those outside the gates? Is the statistics out? King Qin asked.
"This" Zhisu Neishi didn't dare to say it, after all, this number was too amazing.
"But it doesn't hurt to say, the widow forgives you for your innocence."
"The minister said bluntly, because a large number of counties east of Hangu Pass were lost, and the minister could only count the figures reported by the counties at the end of last year, and probably lost 700,000 people, 1.1 million stone of grain, and more than 5 million yuan in money."
"Okay, stand down!" King Qin waved away the internal history of Zhisu, and then said to the ministers in the main hall: "Zhong Aiqing also heard what Zhisu internal history just said, this is a great defeat that I have not encountered in the six hundred years since the founding of the Great Qin. My Great Qin has suffered a great loss of vitality in this battle! The loss of troops was close to 300,000, and the loss of land was nearly 1,000 miles. This is all the incompetence of the widow, and it is the responsibility of the widow! ”
"Wait for a capital offense!" The ministers once again bowed down and pleaded guilty.
"All Aiqing get up! Now that the shape is so critical, what is the best plan for Zhong Aiqing? ”
Minister, look at me, I look at you, no one wants to speak first. At this time, the counselor came out, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book, please play." ”
"Say!" King Qin encouraged.
"Although my Great Qin has lost its troops, there are still 700,000 soldiers who can fight. Looking at the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei, although the territory was expanded by four or five hundred miles, the troops near Hangu Pass were insufficient. For example, in Han and Wei, the maximum number of soldiers is no more than 100,000, and in the case of Zhao, there are no more than 150,000. Its troops also need to be stationed in various cities, and in fact there are only tens of thousands of troops available for mobility. I, Daqin, still occupy the strategic initiative. In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to rest for a few months, wait for his morale to decline, and then send a partial division to cooperate with Anyi's troops to recover the county east of the river. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal, and now that Yiqu has been expelled to the north of the Great Wall by my Great Qin Iron Cavalry, my Great Qin no longer has any internal worries. In the past two months, the Great Qin has fought repeatedly and the rebellion of Yiqu, and now the grain and grass reserves in the customs are insufficient, and the ministers think that it is not appropriate to move the army. He should follow the example of the seer of the state of Chu and send his ministers to visit Yan and Qi and make friends with them. Another lieutenant also spoke.
Seeing that King Qin agreed, the rest of the ministers also offered advice one after another, bluntly saying that they should rest and recuperate. As long as the vitality is restored, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers will be raised at that time, and they will go east to Hangu, and they can regain the lost ground in a battle.
King Qin originally planned to do so, but he just asked his courtiers to propose that he could win a reputation for being kind and flowing, otherwise he would be cowardly and would not dare to go out to meet the enemy.
"Since all Aiqing have such a unanimous opinion, the widow is as good as a stream. But we in Great Qin should not let the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei be too comfortable. The widow ordered that the defenders of Shangjun, Nanyang County, and Hangu Pass should wait for an opportunity to move to maintain the oppression of the Three Kingdoms. The widows wanted the defenders of Han, Zhao, and Wei to be always on guard, and the people could not produce with peace of mind. ”
"The king is wise!" The ministers praised in unison.
"The minister has the right to play." After discussing this issue, Childe City stood up.
"Wanhou, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"When the minister came, the king of Chu asked me to give the king a sentence: Although Chu and Qin have formed an alliance, the opposition of the people is very loud. Is it possible to follow the precedent, and the two countries can send protons to each other? ”
"The King of Chu's words are indeed reasonable, who do you think it is better to send as hostages?" King Qin looked at the reactions of the courtiers.
The position of the crown prince of Qin State has been undecided, but the whole country of Qin knows that the current queen mother once agreed to --- brother and brother. So in fact, Gongzi City has always been cultivated as the heir of the Qin State.
Now that Qin and Chu have formed an alliance, the state of Chu must have sent the crown prince Xiong Wan as a hostage, and the Qin state should also send the prince as a hostage, and the problem will follow. King Qin has always wanted to make his eldest son Zhu the crown prince, and the queen mother wants not to break her oath and let Gongzi City inherit the throne. Now faced with the matter of letting the prince go abroad as a hostage, who should be supported as a hostage, the ministers are very difficult in their hearts.
This is much more difficult than choosing who to be the prince. Let's choose Gongzi City, that is, to admit that he is the prince of Qin, but Gongzi City is nearly fifty years old, how many years can Gongzi City survive for such a dangerous thing? The king of Qin wished that his son would die in the state of Chu, and then let his eldest son Zhu succeed him.
Choose the eldest son, that is, to recognize him as the crown prince. That's even more amazing, Childe City is not going to fall out! What's more, the Queen Mother's current attitude**, it is not good to say who chooses to support it. Once there is a conflict between King Qin and Gongzi City because of this incident, then the Qin State will be really lively.
Therefore, the officials of King Qin and Gongzi City were silent. The so-called "gods fight, little ghosts suffer", it is better not to open your mouth when you don't know what your master thinks.
