Chapter 273: One Step Away, The Land of the King
Yingcheng is numb!
His decision on this matter will affect the safety of the First Emperor.
But if he knew the whole plan of the First Emperor now, he would not be in such a dilemma as he is now.
The First Emperor was confident.
But often overconfidence is the end of conceit.
Li Si and Feng Quji, from another point of view, are fanatical followers of the First Emperor.
Blind confidence in the First Emperor.
At this time, the first emperor secretly arranged everything to go to Longxi.
In the eyes of these two fanatics, the First Emperor must have been victorious.
Wang Ben is different, although Wang Ben is loyal to the first emperor, but Wang Ben is a decisive commander, in the unknown situation of Longxi, only think about problems with military thoughts.
And now.
All the intelligence in Longxi has shown it.
The First Emperor was alone and could be in danger at any time.
As for him.
In fact, it is more inclined to Wang Ben.
If it is not fate, it is obedient to it, so those who know their fate do not stand under the rock wall. Those who die in their own way are righteous; Shackling the dead is not right!
This phrase has two meanings.
One is to prevent problems before they happen, to detect potential dangers, and to nip them in the cradle.
The other is that once you find yourself in a dangerous situation, you must leave in time.
Since he was aware of the chaos in Longxi in advance.
This time.
It's safer to be in command than to take risks alone.
Even if the First Emperor stood in Wangxian County and looked at Longxi from afar, it was enough to make the Wu tribe wait to be killed.
Inside the main hall.
Facing the silence of Yingcheng.
Li Si, Feng Quji, and Wang Ben all stared at Yingcheng with frowns.
As a prisoner, at this time, it is up to Yingcheng to decide.
Especially.
Yingcheng also has the right to transfer soldiers and horses from the twenty-seven counties.
Once Yingcheng decided to use military forces against Longxi.
It is completely possible to mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses into Longxi to quell the rebellion.
But all the same.
If Yingcheng is biased towards Li Si and Feng Quji's opinion, then he can only sit and wait for news.
Former.
If Wushi Ku is wavering, the mobilization of troops into Longxi is undoubtedly the last straw that overwhelms Wushi Ku.
Latter.
The Wu clan is determined to rebel, and at this time to sit and wait for news, it is undoubtedly to give up on rescuing His Majesty the First Emperor.
"Let's start westward!"
Yingcheng sighed softly and said in a deep voice.
"Westward?" Li Si frowned, and took the lead in asking, this is a good thing to talk about Longxi, Yingcheng suddenly mentioned westward expansion.
But soon.
Li Si reacted, looked at Yingcheng in surprise, and asked, "Is the prison country saying that with the help of the westward advance, he secretly sent troops into Longxi to rescue His Majesty?" ”
"Yes, yes."
Wang Ben was stunned for a moment when he heard Yingcheng's words, and didn't react, but after hearing Li Si's explanation, he slapped his thigh and laughed: "Young is a good brain, so what are you waiting for." ”
"As long as you don't enter Longxi in the name of the imperial court, the Huben camp only needs to dress up in disguise and secretly respond to Your Majesty."
"At that time, even if the Wu clan is plotting against him, it will be enough to deal with it."
Wang Ben was excited, but Feng Qujian shook his head again and said, "The westward advance is not well prepared, and it is a little inappropriate to launch it at this time." ”
According to the plan of the donkey policy.
It is necessary to hoard enough grain, grass and weapons in Weiyuan now.
So.
In order to let the nobles' darts go westward.
Truly.
With the honorables' own conditions, they are fully capable of arming a team of 5,000 people, including military horses, weapons, grain and grass.
But.
Once let Xungui arm himself.
The meaning is different.
The policy of donkey politics, to put it more bluntly, is the westward advance organized by the imperial court, crossing the vast Gobi, attacking Hexi, and plotting the Western Regions.
And because of this.
Grain, grass and weapons must be supplied by the imperial court.
Let all those who leave the territory of Great Qin remember that they are the subjects of Qin.
But if Xungui provides it himself, it is equivalent to Xungui arming a soldier and horse by himself.
These are two very different situations.
"Your Majesty's safety is still more important than the noble matter, and the noble matter can be left for later settlement, but once Your Majesty is in danger, we will not be able to escape the blame." Wang Ben immediately reprimanded angrily, "When the matter in Longxi is over and Your Majesty returns, the old man will definitely ask who came up with this bad idea!" ”
At this time, there is nothing more important than the safety of His Majesty the First Emperor.
"Okay, okay, no need to make noise!" Yingcheng saw that Wang Ben's anger was getting bigger and bigger, so he could only stop it: "General Wang is calm and don't be impatient, and Duke Feng doesn't have to worry." ”
"The matter of westward expansion is something that the imperial court has decided a long time ago, and the various noble families have long been ready to go, coupled with the changes in the government and politics in the past few months, even if the Wu clan has doubts, they will not know that the imperial court has already detected its rebellion."
"However, the Tiger Camp must not move, at this time, the only one who can give His Majesty support as quickly as possible is the Tiger Camp, if the Wu Clan really has the intention of rebellion, he will definitely pay attention to the movements of the Tiger Camp!"
"And now, we don't know how many people are united with Wu Shi Ku."
Yingcheng paused and continued: "On the contrary, the Tiger Camp will appear in Wang County in a high-profile manner, so that all the westward darts can see that the Tiger Camp will resolutely protect the safety of those who go west. ”
"Secondly, the empirical evidence of the Wu clan's rebellion, we are secretly sent by His Majesty, others don't know that the Wu clan is going to rebel, and the Wu clan doesn't know that the court already knows that it is going to rebel."
"Therefore, when the Imperial Commander, Luo Net, the Imperial Shi Dafu's Mansion, and the Prime Minister's Mansion went to Longxi to intervene in the cattle, horses and sheep trade, and the spring ploughing delay returned, the imperial court once again sent officials to Longxi with great fanfare to solve the matter of cattle, horses and sheep trading and spring ploughing delays, so as to confuse and stabilize Wu's bitterness."
"In this way, if Your Majesty really has a perfect plan to deal with the suffering of the Wu clan in Longxi, we don't have to worry about it anymore."
"But if something happens."
"All it takes is a will to relieve His Majesty's safety."
Li Si, Feng Quji, and Wang Ben pondered and listened to Yingcheng's opinion.
I couldn't help nodding.
But among them, there is still a key thing missing.
That is, if the troops are not dispatched to Longxi, if the Wu clan is really bitter, the imperial court will still not be able to react.
"What will?" Wang Ben asked.
Yingcheng's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "If you can save the driver, you will be promised to be crowned king!" ”
"At that time, the well-trained darts sent by the nobles to Longxi will be the army of the imperial court, and it will be an extremely fierce army."
"Shhh Before Yingcheng's words fell, the three people in the hall gasped.
stared at Yingcheng in great surprise.
Divine Solution.
It's really a stroke of genius.
"What a plan, even if the nobles know that they are plotted, they will willingly go crazy to save Your Majesty."
"And the first person to save the driver can be crowned king, once there is an accident in Longxi, at that time, the old minister really can't imagine that the nobles will stupidly choose to continue to go west between going west and saving His Majesty."
Li Si couldn't help but exclaim.
was shocked by Yingcheng's scheme.
All these waterways come naturally, and there is no plan in sight.
Peaceful.
The dart shops in the west are still dart shops, and everyone is safe.
As soon as something happens.
Naturally, it was mobilized.
This is a miracle for the ages.
But while excited, Feng Quji couldn't help frowning and asked: "But the matter of sealing the king, since the abolition of the partition, there are no princes and kings in the world, if the king is crowned, isn't it?" ”
Feng Qujian is not just worried.
And it's worry.
The matter of dividing the seal could have knocked down half of Daqin's country at the beginning.
In the past, when the world was unified, how many people waited for the king, but it was just a sentence of abolishing the feudal division, the left and right prime ministers were exiled, half of the courtiers were exiled, the dismissal of the recalled, and the vacant office.
That is the Great Qin who is unified in the world, and it is also the Great Qin of the bloody rain.
It's no exaggeration.
Because His Majesty abolished the division of the seal, Daqin abolished half of the national fortune.
And after so many years, the sound of the division finally disappeared, but at this time, Yingcheng was brought up again.
O princes and kings!
That's the king of a country.
We must be cautious about this.
A country within a country is not allowed to appear, which is the voice of the unification of the court today.
The people who once supported the country within a country have disappeared in the Great Qin court.
Feng retorted.
also quickly calmed down Wang Ben and Li Si in the main hall.
Li Si couldn't help frowning, and the pros and cons of the left and right sides of the plate.
He is the initiator of the abolition of the feudal division, if the national system is not unified, the law will not be unified, and the vassal states will each adhere to its own law, which is the most unbearable for the Legalists.
Wang Ben also frowned.
He did support the separation, but he knew that His Majesty would never allow the separation, so he firmly supported the abolition of the separation.
"Feng Gong is too worried!" But it was Yingcheng, who said with a calm smile: "In the past, King Wu of Zhou was divided, except for the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, the rest were barbarian lands, and then after thousands of years of melee and integration, this laid the territory of my Huaxia today." ”
"Why didn't my Great Qin follow the example of King Wu of Zhou, and take the territory of the current Great Qin as the center, and divide it outward again?"
"Who said that if you are crowned a king, you must divide it within my Great Qin territory?"
"The desert north of the Huns, we can't beat it anyway, and the king will let the princes and kings run it."
"The 100,000 mountains outside of Nanyue are places that we can't set foot in, even if General Tu Sui defeats Nanyue, my Qin State will include Nanyue into its territory, but what about outside Nanyue, can my Qin State still attack the vast mountains within a hundred years, since it can't be attacked, the king will let the princes and kings run it."
"Similarly, the land of the Western Regions is too far away for us now, and the places outside the Western Regions, as long as the border land does not reach the end of the sky and the corner of the sea, you can still take a step out, and beyond that step, it is the land of the king."
"Whether it is a barbarian or a foreign race, it is always endless, endless, and after destroying the Huns, there will always be new alien tribes rising, it is better to be crowned king, follow the example of King Wu of Zhou, and use the princes and kings to control foreign races."
"In the end, it's just another chaotic war between the princes, but at that time, it's just a civil war between my Qin people."
"When I can rule the world with the Qin people, the world at that time and the world today will be two worlds."
Be quiet.
The three people in the hall were stunned.
stared at Yingcheng in a daze.
I don't know what words to use to describe Yingcheng.
It's magnificent.
It's too long-term.
But.
Yingcheng's words made them stunned.
Especially Lis.
stared at Yingcheng as if he had a sudden epiphany.
It's as if all of a sudden your own world has been opened.
"Hahaha, the old man agrees with the policy of supervising the country, isn't it just the king, the seal is it, what are you afraid of?"
"If the prison country can be born eight years earlier and sit in the court, even if the prison country mentions it slightly, Great Qin will definitely not be in the current situation."
"One step away, it is the land of the king, and the old minister is really blind."
"In the past, the old minister always thought that if he was crowned king, he must have torn the soil, and he would divide the territory of my Great Qin into one piece after another, which was better than the original division of King Wu, and the thousands of vassal states were another chaotic war of princes."
"But after the words of the prison state, the old minister suddenly came to his senses."
"There is a precedent for this separation, King Wu of Zhou divided the princes of the world, so that the world has the land of the Central Plains, the land of the north, the land of the south of the Yangtze River, the land of Shuzhong, the land of Kyushu in the world, the king to rule, expand the land and expand the stiffness, and laid a vast territory for my China."
"Your Majesty's merits overshadow King Wu, the world is unified, and his generals and ministers must work together to expand the territory of the country."
"And the land outside the territory is inhabited by foreign races, why not crown the king to conquer."
"And that, it's a real king, and he can't be a little bit of a family."
"As the saying goes, I don't feel sorry for myself when I separate other people's fields, anyway, the land of the alien race is sealed, and it is better for the Qin people to rule than to let the alien race."
"If this law is divided into good mornings, the current Great Qin will inevitably be a situation where the four seas are leveled."
"Not only are we the meritorious soldiers of the Qin State, but also the nobles of the Six Kingdoms who surrendered to my Qin State, and they are also sealed, which is always better, those people always want to make trouble."
Li Si couldn't help but admire.
There is a kind of regret, regret that he did not live in the same era as Yingcheng.
Now he is dying of old age, and Yingcheng, the emperor who has risen suddenly, is just the beginning of growth.
He couldn't imagine.
What will become of Daqin in the future?
But he believed.
Great Qin must be moving in a better direction.
The Great Qin of the Ages, right in front of him, is by no means delusional.
"Hehe, if it is so divided, it is indeed a good way!" But it was Wang Ben, who smiled coldly.
Although there is no direct refutation.
But in my heart, I was already very tired.
There are many people in the entire Great Qin who can be crowned kings, but if you talk about the number of kings, there are not a hundred but eighty in the Taiwei Mansion.
It accounts for more than seventy percent of the number of kings.
And according to Yingcheng's way of becoming the king, no one will be happy.
After all.
After fighting a lifetime, in the end, you have to fight your own fiefdom, how can you be happy.
But what makes him tired is that.
Others don't say it, if he is asked to choose between being crowned king one step away from the territory of Great Qin and just being a stable prince, he will definitely choose the first one.
Even if he stepped down from his post as the protector of the country, he spontaneously recruited troops, and he also had the confidence to take the Wang clan to fight a vassal state outside the territory of Great Qin.
And most, or even all, if they were to choose between the two, would choose the latter.
There are no exceptions.
Something.
It's unspeakable.
can be crowned king, who wants to be a general!
Wang Ben didn't object, Feng Qujian frowned and wrinkled, but he couldn't help but say: "This matter, or discuss it with Your Majesty, after all, the matter of sealing the king is too big!" ”
