The state of Qin, above the court.

The conflict between Wei Guo and Chen Guo was not accidental, but was deliberately done by Wei Guo with the intention of encroaching on Chen's border defense. But I don't know who Chen Guozhong saw through this situation and let Wei Guo return in vain. ”

"It is not necessarily fruitless, Wei Guo has already planted a thorn on the border of Chen State, although it has been pulled out, but it has a scar, and it may be difficult to heal. The minister thought that the defense of the country would take action in the near future. ”

"The Emperor of the Han Kingdom is terminally ill, I am afraid that in the past two days, his prince will compete for power and seize the throne, and the royal family will be eroded, and it will not be able to recover at least in three or two years, and our Qin State can take this opportunity to make some moves."

"The minister does not approve, the cold country is vast and sparsely populated, and the weather is cold, so you can't easily use swords. Chen Guo can't do it, because it is in the middle, if our country attacks it, and it unites with the country, our country will definitely suffer from the enemy. Only to defend the country, located in the southwest, and the law is unstable, there are many dissatisfied prime ministers in the country, and we can use this as a gap. ”

"Otherwise, the country is mountainous, not easy to attack, if you borrow the road, you need to pass through the territory of Chen State, the cold country is much more convenient, go directly to the east, a horse and a flat river."

The courtiers were divided into two factions and argued, and the emperor of Qin was drooping, leaning on the dragon chair and squinting, as if he was asleep.

The emperor signaled, and the eunuch next to him shouted: "Silence." ”

The hall soon fell silent, and the emperor of Qin said, "Zheng'er, you can talk about it." ”

The eldest prince Qin Zheng showed a talent and was mighty, and immediately replied: "Erchen thinks that he should send a large army to attack the cold country." There are three reasons, one is that the cold country has many plains, which is suitable for our army to gallop. Second, the Han Kingdom is about to change the emperor, and the court is in turmoil. Third, the left minister of the Han country is extremely greedy, and he can send someone to give ten thousand gold as an internal response. The sons asked for orders, and in the spring of the next year, they personally led the army to conquer the cold country. ”

"Good!" The emperor shouted, full of anger, very satisfied with Qin Zheng's answer, and was about to make a decision, when he suddenly remembered that his second son had changed his previous style of squishy in the past few months and was eager to learn, so he tried to ask his opinion.

"Jing'er, you can also talk about it."

Qin Jing walked out, he was different from Qin Zheng's might, he was more elegant, personable, and elegant.

He replied: "Erchen thinks that our country should attack and defend the country, ignoring the cold country. There are three reasons for not attacking the cold country, one is that the cold country has many plains, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the perennial heavy snow covers the mountains, after our army drove over, the logistics are unsustainable, even if we can gallop the ice field, but it is a waste of troops, and it is easy to be broken by the cold country. Second, although there are royal disputes in the Han Kingdom, it will not last long, as far as the ministers know, the prince of the Han Kingdom has the style of a sage, the ability of the emperor, and the ministers of the court and the central government have many biases, and it is difficult for other princes to compete. Third, although the left minister of the Han State is greedy, he has a patriotic heart, he is only greedy in the country, if we trust him, if he is counterattacked, I am afraid that the Qin State will be hit hard. ”

The audience was silent, carefully experienced what Qin Jing said, and listened to him say again: "There are also three attacks on the country, one of which is the initial change of the law to defend the country, the court is unstable, and at this time, internal and external troubles, as long as our country exerts pressure, it can aggravate its chaos." If it is allowed to stabilize, in a few years, the national power of the country will gradually become stronger, so that it will annex other countries. Second, although the defense of the country is mountainous, it is not without roads, and our army can be divided into two, one army inserts from the path, and the other army borrows through Chen Guo. This is also the third, the country and the state of Chen are at odds, the situation is becoming more and more tense, our country can form an alliance with the state of Chen, first swallow the country, and then destroy the cold country, as for the state of Chen, there is no need to worry. ”

"How do you form an alliance? For so many years, we have also thought about forming an alliance with Chen Guo, but Chen Guo has refused. "A minister asked.

Qin Jing replied: "It's simple, ask to marry the seventh princess of Chen Guo, and then ask for more assistance." For example, donating money and materials to the victims of the Chen State disaster to win the hearts of the people. Sending envoys to form an offensive and defensive alliance with him and promising to divide the world equally, Emperor Chen naturally favored our country. ”

Qin Zheng sneered and said, "How can I, the Qin State, share the world equally with the Chen State." ”

"This is just rhetoric, just wait until you destroy the Wei Guo Han Kingdom, and then destroy the Chen Kingdom."

"Heh, isn't it trapping my Qin State in injustice?"

Qin Jing really wanted to know how his eldest brother's head grew, so he said: "History books only remember those who have succeeded, as long as they unify the world, regardless of their merits and demerits, is it difficult or not, will someone accuse me of Qin Guo of deceiving Chen Guo?" Oh, when the time comes, the whole world will be under the rule of my Qin State, who dares to talk nonsense. ”

Then, the hall turned into a vegetable market again, and the two sides argued. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these people are standing in line, the emperor is old, and there will definitely be a new emperor on the throne in the next two years.

Originally, the eldest prince's family was dominant, and there was no such thing as taking sides. But as the second prince came to his senses overnight, he gradually became stronger, so much so that he threatened the crown prince of the eldest prince.

After the court discussion, Qin Jing, also known as Mo Zheng, returned to his palace with a tired face. He has been crowned king, called the king of Ming.

Wei Zhiyuan was practicing martial arts, and when he saw Mo Zheng coming back, he asked, "What's the matter, who does the emperor listen to?" ”

"He may listen to Qin Zheng, even if I say it more reasonably, but the emperor knows that whoever he agrees with means who is the new emperor. Alas, how can Qin Zheng, a martial artist, manage a huge country, and put it in his hands, maybe it will be defeated at some point. The emperor is already old and confused, thinking deeply enough, and only relying on his own preferences. ”

Wei Zhiyuan kicked hundreds of catties of stones away, landed firmly in the corner of the wall, and said, "Your Highness! Usurpation! ”

The two months of turmoil in the defense of the country were all due to the changes of Prime Minister Qingshu.

Speaking of Qingshu, it is really legendary, but in his twenties, he was appreciated by the emperor, and he was originally just a servant of the ministry, but he was forcibly promoted to prime minister.

The ministers were not satisfied, so they took turns bombing Qingshu on the Jinluan Palace, Qingshu was not flustered, and the tongue fought against the Confucians, and he spoke for three hours in a row, so that the ministers bowed and obeyed, and none of them objected.

Emperor Wei had just been on the throne for more than a year, and he was eager to do some big things, he didn't trust his old ministers, and he attached great importance to Qingshu.

Qingshu did not live up to him, as soon as he took office, it was a series of major measures, and the change of the law was the top priority, and once it was implemented, it had a huge effect.

In the past two months, in addition to the initial turmoil, the national strength of the country has been increasing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, whether it is the court, the army, or commercial animal husbandry, it has gradually shown a benign development.

In the court, Qingshu was saying his opinion on the current situation. He knew the identities of Mo Zheng and Ling Husu, so he would take these two into account.

"The minister thinks that our country should fully support the crown prince of Qin to ascend the throne, vigorously suppress the second prince, and at the same time unite with Chen. Otherwise, the Qin State will inevitably unite with the Chen State to attack our country, and our country will be attacked by the enemy on its back and will be difficult to sustain. ”

"May I ask how we can unite Chen Guo?" The young emperor asked politely, and in his opinion, Qingshu was sent by God to help him, so he was very respectful.

"Please forgive the ministers for being bold and outspoken, the first queen died early, Your Majesty is very affectionate, and the ministers admire the new queen. Dan Chen suggested that His Majesty should ask to marry the Seventh Princess and be crowned queen. In today's world, there are only three people whose wisdom can be compared with ministers, the seventh princess of Chen State, the second prince of Qin State, and the other hermit does not need to be considered for the time being. If you can get the seventh princess Chen Susu, the country will definitely unify the world. ”

Everyone was shocked that there was still an existence in this world that could be compared with the wisdom of the prime minister.
