Chapter 480: The Six Kings Fu Gu
In the main hall, Li Si's words fell, and there was a solemn atmosphere. The prime minister was scolded, and Zhu Qing was silent. Now, Zhao Tuo has to speak.
Kill Yan and Dai Erwang. He had no opinion. But he has something to say about Qi Wangjian's disposal. It doesn't matter anything else, because it was the Qi State that he Zhao Tuo led the army to destroy.
The matter of five hundred miles was a bargaining chip added by Li Shiqi in order to lure Qi Wangjian, and in the subsequent negotiations, Zhao Tuo did not agree to Qi Wangjian's envoy, only said that this matter needed to be decided by King Qin.
Those five hundred miles of land, even if the Qin State did not build it for the King of Qi in the end, he Zhao Tuo would not miss the contract, because he did not agree to come down at all.
But Qi Wangjian's life, he personally promised. King Jian of Qi surrendered, and Zhao Tuo saved his life.
If Qi Wangjian is killed after surrendering now, won't he Zhao Tuo have a bankrupt reputation? Without faith, man does not stand.
In the future, who will dare to believe in his Zhao Tuo's credibility, surrendering to him Zhao Tuo can't even save his life, so it is better to fight to the death.
Therefore, from the perspective of his own interests, Zhao Tuo must open his mouth to dissuade him. What's more, this matter is not only related to his selfish interests, but also related to the future direction of the national policy of the entire Qin State.
Zhao Tuo guessed that Li Si's suggestion to kill the three kings and shock the world this time was not as simple as it seemed, and it was very likely that he had another purpose and was targeted.
"Is it because of the newly recruited Confucian students?" Zhao Tuo thought to himself. He heard that since the destruction of Chu, Qin Wangzheng had recruited a group of Confucian scholars from the princely lands of Shandong to enter Xianyang and appointed them as doctors.
These people have the right to discuss the government and give advice to the Qin king, jumping up and down all day long, and discussing Confucianism.
This move may well have made Lees feel threatened. He studied under Xunzi and was born in Confucianism, but he took the road of Legalism, and Daqin has always governed the country with Legalism, so Li Si has always been like a fish in water in Qin.
Now the king has summoned Confucian scholars as doctors, and listened to their advice, in case those Confucian scholars have a long tongue in their mouths and affect the king's thoughts, then they will have it.
Therefore, Li Si wants to kill the three kings today and shake the world, showing the power of Legalism. He wants to deter not only the common people in the world, but also those Confucian scholars who are not very peaceful, and give them a dismount.
Li Si wanted to tell them who was the master of the Qin State's ideological circles. Just now, Wang Juan, the prime minister of Zuo, who was close to Confucianism, opened his mouth, maybe there was some involvement.
All of the above are Zhao Tuo's conjectures. He took a deep breath and arched his hand: "King Qiqi, for the matter of the three kings, what Ting Wei said is very reasonable, but the minister still has a word to complain. Hearing this clear voice, all the ministers in the palace raised their eyes.
Li Si saw that it was Zhao Tuo who spoke, and his eyes moved slightly. On the emperor's couch, Qin Wangzheng nodded: "The chief said." Zhao Tuo said in a deep voice: "What Tingwei said, killing the three kings to shock the world can deter the people of the princes and show the majesty of my Qin State." The minister believed that the two kings of Yan and Dai not only resisted our Qin State, but also colluded with Hu Yi and killed themselves, so as to deter the world with their might. However, the matter of King Qi is still open for discussion. ”
"The minister believes that although the King of Qi once sent troops to prevent our Qin State from destroying Chu, he was able to surrender the whole country in the end, so that my Qin army could be all in one fell swoop, and help my Qin State quickly unify the sea, and he was meritorious in it."
"Now that the society of Qi has been destroyed, the king of Qi bows his head and is a minister, so he is the king's people, and he should be rewarded and punished."
"In the past, the kings of Wei and Chu resisted to the end and survived. Now the king of Qi has surrendered the whole country, and he has been killed and killed. This kind of comparison is quite suspicious of unclear laws, if it is implemented in this way, how can our Qin State establish its prestige in the world? After Zhao Tuo finished saying this, he didn't wait for everyone to speak, and immediately threw out a more important reason.
And now the king is about to move the ministers and nobles of the Six Kingdoms to Xianyang. Among the six countries, the migration of Tian Qi is the first. Now that the people of the Qi Di Tian clan have not migrated, killing the king of Qi at this time, the Qi people must be afraid that the Tian Qi clan will have a disaster, so that this migration will change. ”
"The relocation of princes, princes and nobles is a major event to help the king rule the homeland of the Six Kingdoms. If there is a problem from the beginning of the migration of the Tian clan, then when the people of the rest of the princes are moved in the future, I am afraid it will not be so smooth. ”
"On the contrary, if the king comforts the king of Qi, he can calm the heart of the Tian clan, so that the Tian clan on the way to the migration will not be chaotic, which will be beneficial to the next migration events."
"Therefore, the minister thinks that the life and death of the King of Qi is related to the migration of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms by our Qin State, and if it is not handled properly, it is easy to breed hidden dangers. For the reward and punishment of the king of Qi, we should be more cautious, and please think about it. Zhao Tuo finished his reasons in one breath, and then shut up and waited for the king's final decision.
He was still very confident in his reasoning. In addition to emphasizing the meritorious work of the King of Qi, comparing him with the surviving King of Wei and the King of Chu to highlight the killing of the King of Qi will make the rewards and punishments unclear.
Zhao Tuo more directly pointed out the role of Qi Wangjian in the major migration events, killing is harmful, but not killing is beneficial.
The state of Qin was a country that admired practical interests. Compared to Wang Juan saying that he killed Qi Wangjian, I am afraid that the Qi people will hold a grudge.
The reason Zhao Tuo said is more concrete, practical and convincing. All the ministers in the hall stared at the young chief with a little surprise.
They knew that this chief was very capable of fighting, and he was also quite talented in proposing and revising Qin laws before, but they didn't expect that he would be able to refute Tingwei's words with eloquence in this Qin Palace hall, and it was quite reasonable to listen to his views.
On the emperor's couch, Qin Wangzheng bowed slightly. He no longer asked Zhu Qing's opinion, and said straightforwardly: "The life and death of King Qi are related to strict rewards and punishments, as well as the major matter of migrating the nobles of the six countries. ”
"The widow should punish Yan Xi and Zhao Jia to deter the people."
"Tian Jian will be abolished as a concubine, and he will not hurt his life, so it will not damage my Qin's faith." In the end, Qin Wangzheng's voice had a different taste.
Zhao Tuo looked up and saw the pair of beaded eyes, staring at him with playful colors. Zhao Tuo's face was slightly red.
The king understood his careful thoughts, in addition to the public interest he said not to kill Qi Wangjian, Zhao Tuo's selfish interest in preserving his reputation was naturally a reason.
It's finally saved. Zhao Tuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Wangjian was not killed, nor was he even starved to death among the pines and cypresses in the common land, as in history.
It seems that there will be no more such a song in the future,
"Sonye Boye? Housing and construction of the common people? The ballad of ". The fate of historical figures was changed by him again.
At this time, Zhao Tuo felt that his eyes fell on him, and he turned his head to see Tingwei Li Si looking at him.
Li Si's face was as usual, and when he saw Zhao Tuo looking over, he even smiled, without any of his angry appearance after his opinions were refuted by Zhao Tuo, showing his atmospheric demeanor.
Zhao Tuo also smiled back. Wang Juan, who was standing in front of Li Si, also looked at Zhao Tuo, nodded with a smile, exuding kindness.
On the other side, after Qin Wangzheng issued an edict on the disposal of the three kings, he did not stop, but his eyes bloomed, he looked at the ministers in the palace, and said in a deep voice: "The widow has another edict. The princes in the palace were shocked, and they all sat upright, wanting to see what the king would say.
Zhao Tuo's eyes quietly glanced at Qin Wangzheng's face, and saw that his face was slightly red, and his jaw was shaking, looking quite excited.
Sure enough, I only listened to Qin Wangzheng's loud voice and announced the edict on the spot.
"The king of Han on a different day accepted the seal, please be a vassal minister, and he has broken the contract, and Zhao and Wei have rebelled against Qin, so they will raise troops and punish him, and capture his king."
"King Zhao made Li Mu come to make an alliance, so it was his proton. has betrayed the alliance and opposed my Taiyuan, so the army was punished and won its king. Zhao Gongzi Jianai set himself up as the acting king, turned his back on Zhuxia, colluded with Hu Yi, so he raised troops to destroy him. ”
"The king of Wei began to submit to Qin, and he conspired with Han and Zhao to attack Qin, and the Qin soldiers punished him and broke it."
"King Jing dedicated to the west of Qingyang, and has betrayed the covenant and attacked my southern county, so he sent troops to punish him, won his king, and then determined his Jing land."
"King Yan was in a coma, and his prince Dan Naiyin ordered Jing Ke to be a thief, and the soldiers punished him and destroyed his country. Its king colluded with Hu Yi, so he wanted to capture him and get his king. ”
"The king of Qi rebelled against the covenant and wanted to attack my Dongjun, so the soldiers punished him, captured his king, and leveled the land."
"The widow is a blinker, raising troops to punish the riot, the spirit of Lai Zongmiao, the six kings are innocent, and the world is decided." Qin Wangzheng told his own merits, and at this point, his chin was slightly raised, and his voice became even more passionate.
"The widow dominates the world and annexes the sea, and now the name is not changed, and it cannot be called a success, and it will be passed on to future generations. Let the ministers, councilors, and doctors discuss the emperor's name. "The Emperor!
Zhao Tuo reluctantly raised his head. He looked at the excited and red face of King Qin's Zhengzhu, as if he could feel the king's surging mood at the moment.
Dominate the world and annex the sea. Such an unprecedented great feat has made Qin Wangzheng can't wait.
The title of king can no longer meet his needs. He wants a bigger, more majestic, nobler name.
Therefore, after completing the punishment of the three kings, Qin Wangzheng couldn't wait to issue the edict of the emperor.
"The King." Zhao Tuo's face was complicated. It's not been called for long.
