Qin State, Xianyang.

The news of the failed rebellion of the Korean Xungui reached the ears of the King of Qin at the first time. King Qin quickly summoned Prime Minister Wei Ran, Daliang Zaobai Qi, and Prince Zhu to discuss countermeasures.

In the political hall, Wei Ran looked at King Qin, who was close at hand, and there was a faint fear in his heart. A few days ago, Jingyang Jun's son Kui suddenly died, shocking the government and the opposition. Although the servants in Jingyang Jun's mansion all explained that it was their master who was infected with a vicious disease, and the medicine was difficult to treat. But what kind of vicious disease can torture a healthy person without a breath in three days? Wei Ran was very skeptical.

Although the King of Qin has already set up Gongzizhu as the crown prince, there are always some variables. Now that the prince is gone, the last hidden danger of the change of throne has also dissipated. From then on, the position of the king of Qin could only be inherited by the king.

"The ministers (sons) have seen the king!" Several people entered the temple and bowed.

King Qin nodded quietly and said, "All Aiqing, please get up!" ”

"Thank you, the king!"

"The widow summoned all Aiqing here this time to ask for advice. Eight days ago, the Korean nobles rebelled and were immediately suppressed by the king of Han. Including the head of the thief, 482 anti-thieves were beheaded in public. Zhao and Yan had already married before. Now, the wedding of King Han and Princess Yan is imminent, and the relationship between Han and Yan is bound to become closer. In the future, it will be even more difficult for me to enter the east! ”

Prince Zhu looked at Wei Ran, Bai Qi and the others who were frowning, and stopped talking. King Qin secretly promised in his heart, but he said with a normal face: "What can the prime minister do? ”

Wei Ran's heart trembled, and he said smoothly: "The minister thinks that when he sends an envoy to the Qi country with a generous gift, he will win over the Qi country for my Great Qin!" In this way, the alliance of Qin, Chu, and Qi is enough to protect itself. The matter of eastward expansion, wait for my great Qin to recover fù national strength slowly and slowly! ”

"A few months ago. The widow also sent an envoy to lobby the king of Qi to divide the land between Zhao and Wei. The king of Qi ignored this, and even sent soldiers to the Yan and Qi borders, and then went south to attack Chu. Now that the strength of my Qin State has been greatly damaged, will the King of Qi be willing to form an alliance with us? King Qin said hesitantly.

Wei Ran explained unhurriedly: "The king is too worried. At the beginning, the Qi State refused to form an alliance with my Great Qin, but it was just a fisherman's intention to make a profit. Now I, Da Qin and Sanjin, are both defeated. But the State of Qi did not have the slightest chance of making a profit, so it went south to attack the State of Chu. Now that the Qi State wants to protect itself, it can only form an alliance with my Great Qin! Other than that, there is no other way! ”

"Oh? Can't Qi form an alliance with Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan? King Qin asked strangely.

Wei Ran shook his head and said inexplicably: "The king thinks that my Great Qin is stronger or the Qi State is stronger?" ”

"Naturally, it's the widowed Great Qin!" King Qin said with a displeased face.

"Exactly! The alliance of Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan seems to be strong, but it is not unbreakable. In today's world, what country does not want to expand its territory and increase its strength? The king thought. In which direction can these four countries expand their territory? ”

"It can be west, it can be south, it can be east. As for the north, the land is barren and easy to be harassed by the Hu people, and it is not easy to pass through! The King of Qin began to understand the meaning of Wei Ran's words, and if the four kingdoms wanted to maintain cohesion, they had to wage war to gain benefits. If profits are uneven, countries will become suspicious. Even if the spoils are evenly divided, there must be a target for aggression.

For Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan. The weakest, richest, and easiest to attack is naturally the Qi State. The state of Chu is barely qualified, but only Han and Wei border it, and Zhao and Yan are definitely not so concerned about the matter of attacking the state of Chu. If the Qi State wants to protect itself, it really has to unite with the Qin State.

Looking at King Qin, who suddenly came to his senses, Wei Ran lost interest in talking. Just said: "For the four countries, the eastward longitude strategy is the most rewarding, and this is our opportunity to win over the Qi country." ”

King Qin nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "Now that South Korea's internal worries have been eliminated, we are united in our hearts. The comprehensive change of the law is deeply jealous of the widow. What is the best way for the prime minister? ”

Wei Ran sighed deeply, "Did the king ever send assassins?" ”

Regarding Wei Ran's straightforward question, King Qin replied without a trace of hesitation: "There are three dials in total, but none of them succeeded!" The widow had great confidence in the Korean nobles, but he didn't expect that they were all imaginary people, and they were all wiped out overnight! Except for one Han An, there is no gain! ”

"Han An?" Wei Ran asked puzzled.

King Qin simply explained: "The eldest son of Gongzi Jise, Han An! ”

Wei Ran suddenly realized that he was a declining nobleman in Korea. Although I don't know why Han An got involved, he is always a good player. Maybe it will be necessary to divide South Korea in the future.

"I think that the current general trend of South Korea has become a reality, and it is better to wait and see what happens." Wei Ran said.

"Wait and see?" King Qin muttered.

"The minister thinks that South Korea can be given power and let go. Although the military pass was in hand, the South Korean soldiers were only 300,000, and they had more than enough to defend but not enough to attack. With its tens of thousands of troops in Nanyang, it cannot pose any threat to our Great Qin. King Han has always planned to move later, and from the perspective of the ministers, King Han only deployed 50,000 troops in Nanyang, which is not a show of goodwill to my Great Qin! Bai Qi said in surprise.

"Gestures?" King Qin's face was uncertain.

Bai Qi explained to himself: "King Han's move should be to show my Great Qin that he has no interest in Guanzhong. In other words, he knows that the gains in the Jingluo Pass outweigh the losses, and he doesn't want to continue to fight with me because of this! ”

"Then according to Wu Anjun's meaning, how does Daqin get along with South Korea?" King Qin asked with a frown.

Bai Qi couldn't hear the dissatisfaction in King Qin's words, but he still stubbornly said: "Don't attack each other!" ”

"Hehe, don't attack each other? Wu Anjun, if you say this in the court, I don't know how much turmoil it will cause? King Qin sneered.

South Korea has caused such a big loss to the Qin State, and tens of thousands of elites have died at the hands of South Korea, this hatred and hatred cannot be washed away without blood!

Prince Zhu, who had been silent, did not want his father to have a conflict with the first general of the dynasty, so he said in a timely manner: "Father, the son feels that Korea has the advantage of military customs, and our Qin State can only attack it. The casualties were too large, and Zhao Guo benefited in vain. The casualties are too small, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take Wuguan and Nanyang. Instead of resisting to the east and the Three Jins, it is better to go south through the Chu State. At that time, we will be at risk of mountains and rivers, and we will have much more choices to go north or east. ”

Bai Qi cast a grateful look at the crown prince and explained, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks the same way. Korea is the sworn enemy of our Qin State. But it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. As long as we pass through the state of Chu, it is just that the Korean turtle is in Nanyang, if they dare to go out of Nanyang, it is better for our Great Qin to fight with them than to attack Wuguan. In the battle with the Qi State, the vitality of the Chu State was greatly damaged, and I, Daqin, could take the Chu State at the smallest cost. If you have both land and common people, why not? ”

King Qin pondered for a moment and asked Prime Minister Wei Ran, "What does Prime Minister think?" ”

"The minister thinks that the strategy of going south to attack Chu is the most suitable, to raise the war with war, and to avoid the Zhao State. Those who can carve up the Chu State with my Great Qin are only the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Qi. Yan and Zhao are good at riding and walking, but there are many swamps in Chu country, and no matter how much Yan and Zhao covet it, they are powerless. However, if this plan does not work, it will definitely be the power of thunder. Therefore, Chen Jian yì will carry out this plan again after three years! Wei Ran, who was steady, replied.

"Three years." King Qin groaned, looking at the prince pillar with an urgent look and Bai Qi with a calm expression, King Qin finally made a decision and said, "Just follow this plan!" However, in the past three years, I, Daqin, should do my best to separate the relationship between Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan. Wu Anjun, your burden is the heaviest, in the past three years, you must revive the morale of my Great Qin and train a division of a hundred battles! ”

Bai Qi solemnly replied: "I am willing to die for the king!" ”

King Qin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Prime Minister, the matter of sending an envoy to Linzi to lobby will be left to you." ”

Wei Ran gave a salute and replied: "Cai Ze in the minister's mansion can take on this important responsibility!" Rest assured, Your Majesty! ”

October 29, Sinjeong, South Korea.

The whole Xinzheng is lit up and lively. The red lanterns are hung from the city gate to the palace, and festive banners are hung along the streets and alleys. In fact, it is indeed a spontaneous activity. From three days ago, the first family hung lanterns, the first merchants hung banners, and under the propaganda of well-intentioned people, the people of Xinzheng realized that the end of the month was the day of the king's wedding.

The dawn people of this era do not have so many distorted ideas, and they know at a glance who is good to them. The restoration of the Jingtian system offended a large number of local wealthy families, but it also benefited a large number of ordinary people. Unlike the previous well field system in Korea, the state only owns land in name and in law, and it is not allowed to buy or sell. The actual owner, however, can lease it and enjoy it from generation to generation. As for the taxes paid, it is as low as 30%. If a modern person comes to this era, he will find that this so-called well field system is very similar to the land contract responsibility system of later generations.

Eight days ago, more than 400 heads were cut off in Dongseo City, announcing the demise of the main force of honors and nobles in South Korea who opposed the new law. The two counties of Shangdang and Yingchuan are almost at a flying speed to implement the new law, and all of them want to complete the reclamation of Qianmo and the construction of new houses before the beginning of spring. As soon as the biggest obstacle was removed, the Korean people threw themselves into the construction with great enthusiasm, not asking for rewards, but only hoping to sow the seeds of spring wheat before the spring of the following year.

For Han Wangran, who brought so much hope to their lives, they knew that there was not much they could do about Han Wangran's wedding, and they could only express their love for Han Wangran in this way.

Thirty miles north of Xinzheng, a long convoy gradually drove into the boundary of Xinzheng. In one of the gorgeous carriages, the maid Xiaohe looked at the lively scene outside the window and said excitedly: "Princess, we are about to arrive in Xinzheng!" (To be continued......)
