Xianyang, the palace of the Qin Dynasty was full of joy, and the courtiers of the previous dynasty were smiling, even if they met people who disagreed with their political views, they did not treat each other coldly, and they could nod calmly. The thing that made the minister of Qin so happy was that the military report from the front line came back.

Li Mu has besieged Yingdu, Wang Jian also took Jingling upstream, cutting off the support of Jiangnan and the possibility of evacuating Yingdu by waterway, Yang Duanhe took the army of Li Yuan of Chu State to take Xiaoling, 40,000 Jiangnan troops were swallowed by Yang Duanhe 30,000, and the remaining 10,000 people were still stationed in Zifang and Xiashou, and it was only a matter of time for Yang Duanhe to take these two cities.

The radicals of the Qin State believed that the war of the Chu State was about to end, and this time they held two wars of annihilation in a year, which was enough to show the abundance of Qin's martial virtues, although these militants did not come to the battlefield in person, but the victory of the Qin State to the outside world was their victory, and they were full of glory.

The conservatives felt that the smoothness of the war in Chu was far beyond imagination, and they were originally ready to grit their teeth and try their best not to let the vitality of the Qin State be greatly damaged for more than half a year, but now Li Mu, Wang Jian and Yang Duan and the three-way army have surrounded Yingdu in a month, which is not time, but a lot of grain, grass and money, how can this not make them happy, especially Zhang Cang, who has a history of governing Su.

Zhang Cang grinned and listened to Zhao Gao read the military orders sent back by the three-way army, the most bitter thing in this war of annihilation was not the soldiers on the front line, but he, the logistics manager, these days, because of the planning of the grain and grass of the three-way army and the grain and grass to support Zhao Guo, this cost Zhang Cang a lot of energy, and during this period of time, Zhang Cang even only married a three-room concubine, which is enough to prove how tired Zhang Cang is.

"Hahahaha, the widow really didn't see the wrong person, let Wu Anjun face the enemy head-on, Wang Jian flanked and supported, Yang Duan and the rear, and marched in three ways to directly surround Yingdu." Ying Zheng laughed.

Ying Zheng is very proud at the moment, attacking Yingdu in Yingzheng's eyes cannot be regarded as expanding the territory, it can only be called a reconquest of lost territory. Not only that, Xiong Qi also defected directly from the Qin State, and a traitor occupied the original land of the Qin State and became the king, which was a shame for Ying Zheng. If it weren't for the purpose of splitting the Chu State and consuming the national strength of the Chu State, the first thing the Qin State would attack would not be Korea, but Yingdu Xiong Qi.

"Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, the reconquest of the lost territory is just around the corner!" Ziyou took the courtiers to congratulate Yingzheng.

As Lü Buwei gets older and older, he has gradually let go of the government affairs of the Qin State, and now most of the time is spent at home, taking care of his days, although he is still the prime minister of the Qin State in name, but in fact, the responsibility of the prime minister has been divided into Ziyou's body. There are two secretarial agencies in charge of daily affairs, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Wenyuan Pavilion, and Ziyou, the shopkeeper, does not need to deal with various affairs every day.

"Hahaha, today is a great luck, wait until Yingdu is captured, and Xianyang will be announced. After today's court meeting, officials took a day off. Ying Zheng said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The courtiers shouted excitedly.

The strictness of the Qin State for officials is no less than the strictness of the Qin Law for those who break the law, all the holidays are clearly regulated, and every move during work is strictly regulated, so everyone is excited when they hear that there is a holiday, after all, not everyone is Ziyou and Lu Buwei, they don't have the courage to go to work and fish.

"King Qiyu, now that Yingdu is about to be recovered, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in the Xiling of the Chu State, do you recall His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, so as not to cause misdeeds among the Chu people." Lees stepped forward and proposed.

Hearing Li Si's words, the courtiers immediately understood the connotation of what Li Si said, worried that someone was fake about the assassination of Fusu, and was preparing to let Fusu come back in advance.

The north of Shouchun, including Juyang, was under the control of the Qin State, and Shouchun did not have any defenseless cities. Half of the elite forces of the Chu State are in the hands of Yang Duanhe, as long as Yang Duanhe controls these people and makes them unable to support the Chu State, relying on the existing forces within the Chu State, they will not be able to fight against the Qin State at all, as long as Shouchun is captured, and then hold Li Yuan and Xiong Huai hostage, and let the Chu State surrender, this is the most suitable deal.

After thinking about it, Wang Xuan, the leader of the conservative faction of the Qin State, and Feng Zai, the imperial historian, felt that it was feasible, this was a golden opportunity, and if they missed it, the money and grain and grass spent on attacking the Chu State would be doubled.

The radicals naturally have no opinion on this proposal, after all, this matter was put forward by Li Si, one of the leaders of their radical faction.

The entire Qin court is now divided into three factions, the radical faction led by Li Si, Han Fei and Gongyang Confucianism, they focus on domestic reform and implementation of various new policies, Legalism is responsible for specific connotations, Gongyang Confucianism is responsible for helping them provide reasonable and legitimate debates, in turn, Legalism also supports the idea of Ram Confucianism's external expansion, it can be said that the radicals are also hawks.

The same radical faction is also the result of the Qin State's success, and most of the members of the branch are not old Qin, but people from the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, but now except for those from Qi and Chu, the others are already Qin.

The conservatives were the authentic old Qin people led by Lü Buwei at the beginning, and the current old Qin people's voice in the Qin court is no longer as low as before. With the continuous holding of township schools, county schools and county schools, the old Qin people no longer emphasized martial arts and light literature, and many young talents were selected from the local government step by step to become officials of the Qin State.

Ying Zheng also followed Ziyou's suggestion to use the old Qin people to balance the people of the hundred schools and the six kingdoms of Shandong, so the old Qin people's voice in the court of the Qin State also continued to improve, and they became one of the most important forces. The old Qin people have been deflated in the court of the Qin State for so many years, and now they have re-seen the channels of being officials in addition to going to the battlefield to fight, and they are grateful to Yingzheng who has given them hope again, and the sense of belonging to the Qin State in their hearts has reached a higher level, coupled with the gradual change of the Qin law, the situation that the old Qin people are cold to the Qin State in history will basically not appear again.

It's just that as Lü Buwei gradually fades out of the court, the conservatives are now headed by Zuo Prime Minister Wang Juan and Imperial Historian Feng Zheng, one of the two is an authentic old Qin person, and they still represent the ideas of the old aristocracy ideologically. One is the Feng family, who is known as the slave of the Ying family, and only Yingzheng has Yingzheng in his heart, so they naturally became the leader of the conservatives.

As for the third force, it is the faction headed by the clan and the mud, as the effect of the clan's subordinate faction to stabilize the people is getting better and better, the Qin clan that was originally in the court of the Qin State has risen again.

Ying Zheng's mind and bearing make him not worry about the people of the clan may gather public opinion to rebel and other things, so he is also willing to delegate power to the clan, the clan now has a large number of clans that are only responsible for stabilizing the people's hearts at the local grassroots level and have the right to supervise. The clan of the Qin State seems to be dreaming back to the period of King Huiwen, when King Qin Huiwen was in the period of King Huiwen, there was a great Qin god of war to win Hua, and Wen had a great Qin think tank to win the disease, and they are almost the same now.

"At present, Fusu is sitting in Xiling, which is the rear of Yang Duanhe's army, and it is not easy to change easily, and this matter will be discussed after the war in Yingdu is clear." Ying Zheng said after thinking for a while.

"It's the minister's lack of consideration." Li Si arched his hand and said.

Xiling is the rear of Yang Duan and the army, all rely on Fusu to stabilize the rear, if Fusu is gone now, it is inevitable that Chu wants to move some crooked thoughts, if the other party cuts off Xiling, Yang Duan and this army will have no way to retreat.

"The minister thinks that this matter can be sent to talk to Li Yuan." Ziyou stood up and said.

"Talk to Li Yuan? What to talk about? Ying Zheng asked.

Wang Juan and the other ministers were also in the fog by Ziyou's words, what can they talk about with Li Yuan now? Let Li Yuan promise not to do anything to Xiling? This assurance is like paper in a latrine.

"On the way back from the state of Chu, I heard that Xionghuai, the king of Chu, has been infected with wind and cold for more than a month, and all kinds of medicinal stones have continued, but his body has not improved, and even the last dynasty has let Li Yuan be in charge." Ziyou said.

Hearing Ziyou's words, many ministers were secretly surprised. Ziyou's words were not said in full, but everyone understood the meaning of Ziyou's words. Wind and cold is a serious disease, once the mortality rate is extremely high, Xiong Huai, as the king of Chu, once the illness must be treated by the imperial doctor of Chu, it should be cured soon, but now it is claimed that it has not been cured, which shows that Xiong Huai is likely to die.

As for the talk of Zi Lobby, some ministers have already guessed a little, and Wang Juan stood up and said

"Isn't Taiwei wanting to send someone to the State of Chu to help the King of Chu see a doctor?"

Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Juan in surprise, and secretly said in his heart that Wang Juan had also learned badly, what Wang Juan said about seeing a doctor was fake, but in fact he was beating Li Yuan.

"Of course, Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, is the only person in the Chu royal family who is qualified to inherit the king of Chu, if something goes wrong with him, the state of Chu will be in chaos again. Qin and Chu are countries of in-laws, and they have been allies for a hundred years, not brothers but brothers, so we should send someone to treat the king of Chu. Ziyou said.

Shameless! After listening to Ziyou's words, this is the first thought that pops up in the hearts of many people. Yes, Chu and Qin are really good brothers, and Qin is really a brother with a knife in both sides, but this knife is inserted into Chu Guo's body.

"The minister feels that something is a little inappropriate, the state of Chu has its own imperial doctor, if my Qin State does not agree with the state of Chu, I will rashly send people over, it is really harmful to the law of etiquette, and it is not done by the kingdom." A doctor objected.

Ziyou means that it is false to send someone to see Xiong Huai, it is true to see that Xiong Huai still has a few days to live, if Xiong Huai can't live for a few days, he can naturally let Xiong Huai spend the rest of his life in peace, if Xiong Huai gets better, then help Xiong Huai, let the disease defeat Xiong Huai. This made Meng Chang, who was an old scholar, a little unbearable.
