When Zhu Xiang finished speaking briefly, Bai Qi stood up, personally poured a cup of water for Zhu Xiang, and said, "Zhu Xiang, you are worthy of your name." ”

Zhu Xiang drank a little water to moisten his throat, but the water was still warm.

"The only thing I can do is farming." Zhu Xiang said, "In addition to potatoes, I also brought some good varieties of wheat, as well as my farming experience, all of which were dedicated to the Qin State. ”

Bai Qi is such an indifferent person, and he can't help but have a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

Gongzi Chu once said that Zhu Xiang has the talent of Wang Zuo, but without the wisdom of Wang Zuo, he really understands Zhu Xiang.

How can there be such an envoy who opens the hole cards of his side one by one and is open and honest to the enemy directly?

Zhu Xiang is even more stupid than Bai Qi imagined. He took out another roll of animal skins and said, "This is the city that King Zhao wants to give to Qin first." But Wu Anjun don't hold out hope, King Zhao just said it casually, and he will definitely regret it later. ”

Bai Qi looked at King Qin.

King Qin looked at Bai Qi.

The expressions of the two gentlemen and ministers were mixed with speechlessness, helplessness and ...... A little kind, I don't know what to say.

This stupid boy, what kind of envoy should he be, he will be cheated by profiteers even if he goes out to buy things, right?!

Zhu Xiang looked at the expressions of these two people, and knew that they were saying that they were stupid in their hearts.

Zhu Xiang said: "Does Wu Anjun think I'm stupid and say anything?" ”

Bai Qi and King Qin: "......" Aren't you stupid?

Zhu Xiang said: "These are just my sincerity, and I hope that the Qin State will give up the deposit to kill the Zhao State's soldiers." If I don't have these deposits, how can I make Wu Anjun believe me? ”

Bai Qi said: "Just a deposit? ”

Zhu Xiang nodded: "The most important thing is not these. ”

He looked at Bai Qi's eye contact with the old gentleman, and guessed one thing, one thing that made him happy.

He knelt down and turned and bowed to the old gentleman: "The common man Zhu Xiang pays a visit to the King of Qin." ”

King Qin: "......?!" ”

Bai Qi: "...... He is not a king. ”

King Qin gave Bai Qi an indescribable expression. He found out that Bai Qi really doesn't deceive.

King Qin straightened his clothes and said, "Please get up." How do you guess the identity of the widow? ”

Zhu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. He was right.

He straightened up and said, "There are no generals in the Qin State who can support Wu Anjun, and there should be no surplus old soldiers. Being able to lead new soldiers to quickly support Wu Anjun is such a prestige that only King Qin can have. So I guess that King Qin personally came to the battlefield. I look at the relationship between Wu Anjun and King Qin again, the old man who can make Wu Anjun respect so much, except for King Qin, only Fan Xiangguo remains. ”

King Qin smiled: "Then why not Fan Xiangguo?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Fan Xiangguo is dissatisfied with Wu'anhou, and he won't be so intimate with Wu'anhou. ”

Bai frowned slightly.

King Qin's expression was slightly surprised: "Mr. is dissatisfied with Bai Qi? How? Are you trying to sow discord? ”

When Zhu Xiang saw the expressions of the two, the winning rate in his heart was even higher.

He said: "It's not about sowing discord. ”

His next words were not to continue to talk about Fan Xiangguo and Bai Qi, but to ask: "King Qin, do you have the heart to dominate the world, so that the bright moon shines on the windowsill of the Qin people?" ”

King Qin said solemnly: "Of course! ”

Zhu Xiang said: "King Qin has the ambition to make the land of the world the land of Qin, so does he have the ambition to make the people of the world all the people of Qin?" ”

King Qin glanced at Zhu Xiang deeply and said, "What's the difference?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Of course it's different! If all the Li people in the world are the people of the Qin State, then the King of Qin must think about how to make the Li people of other countries gradually yearn for the Qin State in the process of dominating the world, and become the Li people of the Qin State with peace of mind, so as not to be instigated by the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms to rebel! Is King Qin ready? No, the King of Qin didn't, and the whole Qin State didn't have it. ”

"Unifying the world is not only about conquering cities, but also about unifying thinking. Now that there are many more high-level foreign visitors in the Qin State than in the Kanto region, the King of Qin has thought that they will help the Qin State to conquer the city, but are they really willing to let the Qin State attack and destroy other countries?! ”

King Qin was furious: "Are you trying to say that Mr. Fan is not really assisting the widow?!" ”

Zhu Xiang shook his head: "Fan Xiangguo is naturally sincere. But he experienced betrayal and held King Qin very seriously. This is not only the importance of power, but also the hope that his position in the heart of King Qin will always be the first. Wu Anjun has made monstrous contributions, even if he and Fan Xiangguo are inside and outside, there should not be a conflict. But will the other six countries send people to slander Fan Xiangguo, Bai Qi, who is a Qin person, has made such a great contribution, and his status in the heart of the King of Qin will be higher than you, a Wei person, sooner or later? ”

Bai Qi: "......" He always felt that this was a bit strange to sow discord.

King Qin didn't think anything was strange, he frowned and pondered: "Sir, will you still worry about this?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "The tribulations that Fan Xiangguo has experienced, King Qin knows better than anyone else. Therefore, King Qin should also understand that in Fan Xiangguo's heart, as the King of Qin of Bole, you have a lot of weight. ”

King Qin sighed: "That's right. ”

Bai Qi: "......" Wait, Your Majesty, you were actually persuaded like this?!

Although Zhu Xiang was surprised that the King of Qin was so easy to speak, and completely different from the high-flying and domineering King Qin in Duke Lin's mouth, he still continued: "I took Fan Xiangguo as an example, but I just told the King of Qin that the Qin State is not ready to unify the six countries. This preparation is not a soldier's front, but the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the people in the court of the Qin State. Although they were on the land of the Qin State, they did not become Qin people and did not put the interests of the Qin State first. ”

Zhu Xiang asked: "I think, Wu Anjun must want to take advantage of the victory in Changping, and the soldiers will go straight to Handan, and once again reproduce the results of letting the Chu State move its capital?" ”

Bai Qi admitted: "That's right. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Now that the Zhao State is in chaos, it is indeed a good time for the Qin army to attack Handan. Missing this opportunity, Zhao Guo was not only able to recuperate, but also aroused the hatred of domestic soldiers with the Battle of Changping, which made the morale of the Zhao army high. Zhao still had enough time to ask for help from the other five countries. ”

Zhu Xiang looked at King Qin and said, "King Qin, if it weren't for Fan Xiangguo's strategy, stabilize the envoys of Zhao who came to sue for peace, and let the other five countries think that Qin has made peace with Zhao." The other five countries took the opportunity to send troops, can the Qin army still win? ”

King Qin brushed his beard and said: "Mr.'s credit is naturally great. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "So if the Qin army gives Zhao the opportunity to ask for help from the other five countries, can the Qin army still take Handan?" The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the other five countries will not all be stupid. ”

King Qin was puzzled: "Aren't you from Zhao?" Why did you start instigating the widow to fight Handan? ”

Zhu Xiang shook his head: "I didn't let King Qin fight Handan. I just want to tell King Qin that now is a good opportunity to fight Handan, but not only will King Qin not be able to fight, but Wu Anjun will also summon the disaster of killing because of this matter. ”

He said coldly: "Wu Anjun has already used 70,000 strange soldiers to defeat the Chu State and move the capital, do you really want to destroy the Zhao State?" The guest ministers of all countries want to rely on the War of the Seven Kingdoms to seek wealth, does Wu Anjun want to judge their wealth and nobility? ”

Bai Qi frowned: "Just because of this reason, they want to stop the Qin State from fighting Handan and put me to death?" The king will not believe them. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Let's make a bet, now spread the news that Wu Anjun is going to fight Handan back to Xianyang, and see how many people will dissuade King Qin?" I think it is Fan Xiangguo who will also prevent Wu Anjun from fighting Handan. Although he didn't care about Zhao Guo, he cared a lot about Wu Anjun's status in the heart of King Qin surpassing him. ”

Bai Qi asked, "What if you gamble?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "If they try their best to oppose it, even if Wu Anjun wants to fight Handan, he will be obstructed." Now that the Qin army is tired, the military food and weapons are insufficient, and fighting Handan is to walk on the rope between the cliffs, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed. Without the support of other nobles of the Qin State, Wu Anjun, can you really take Handan? ”

Bai frowned.

Zhu Xiang kowtowed to King Qin again and said, "King Qin must know the situation in the court of Qin better than Wu Anjun. Am I right? The Qin army traveled thousands of miles to attack Handan, and the slightest mistake in logistics may cause Wu Anjun to not be able to fight quickly, and then give the other five countries the opportunity to send troops. ”

King Qin didn't answer Zhu Xiang's question, he asked, "But what does this have to do with you wanting to redeem the Zhao army's pawns?" ”

Zhu Xiang smiled: "It matters." The Qin State will definitely not be able to defeat Handan. But after a few years of recuperation, even if he killed Zhao Jun's pawns, Zhao could still survive with the help of the other five countries. I have a plan to ensure that the King of Qin returns to Xianyang to rectify his ministers, and after resolving the misunderstanding with Fan Xiangguo, he can still easily defeat the Zhao State, which is even easier than the Battle of Changping. ”

Zhu Xiang pointed to his neck and said, "I am already quite famous among Zhao Guomin now, and the deposit I gave is enough to prove that my reputation and talent are worthy." If I can bring back Zhao to surrender when the king of Zhao gives up, my reputation will definitely be in full swing in Zhao. ”

"If King Zhao kills me after I return to Zhao, will the whole Zhao Kingdom still fight for him?"

"Back then, the Qin State was one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, why did the Qin State suddenly weaken for many years?"

Zhu Xiang said: "The sky of the sky, annihilate my beloved!" If it can be redeemed, people will be alive! ”

King Qin and Bai Qi's calm expressions were finally broken.

Chapter 26 The Wooden Tube Cools the River

"The sky of the sky, annihilate my beloved! If it can be redeemed, people will be alive! From "The Book of Songs, Qin Feng, Yellow Bird", it describes the martyrdom of the three sons of the Che family, the three sons of the Che family, who were buried by the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Qin people mourned for the martyrdom of the three Liangs.

During the reign of Qin Mugong, the Qin State, which was as barbarian as Xirong in the eyes of the Central Plains countries, had a better reputation for the first time, and the forces were able to send letters to Guguan in the east, standing on the stage of fighting for hegemony.

When Qin Mugong was alive, his reputation was very good, and scholars from other countries praised him for his kindness. He was supposed to lay the foundation for the strength of the Qin State, but he let Sanliang be buried before he died, and from then on, all talents in the world excluded the Qin State from the preferred place to go out.

No matter what reason Qin Mugong and his heirs let Sanliang be martyred, the result was that the Qin state declined again after Qin Mugong, and the territory shrank seriously, and it was already a small country with no sense of existence in the early Warring States period.

It wasn't until Qin Xiangong abolished the funeral system and the civil strife ended that the Qin state became strong again. But the scholars still regarded westward entry into Qin as their last choice. Confucianism has an unspoken rule that "Confucianism does not enter Qin". Xunzi was the first Confucian to go to Qin, and he didn't plan to go out, just traveled.

Qin's unique "guest system" that favors talents from other countries, as well as the overly large number of "relatives", are also the sequelae of the "Sanliang Funeral".

At that time, the Qin State was not culturally prosperous, and it had few talents of its own, so it was very dependent on foreign talents. When foreign talents refused to come because of the "Sanliang martyrdom", in addition to increasing the rewards for foreign talents, the Qin State could only hope to marry noble daughters from other countries and let foreign talents enter Qin in the way of relatives.

Even if the king of Qin wants to take his courtiers for martyrdom one day, he basically will not choose his relatives, and his relatives are relatively safe, and they can rest assured that they will enter the Qin State.

Talents do not enter Qin, they can only rely on relatives, and relatives are prone to chaos. forced Qin Xiangong to abolish the ancestral training in this era of great respect for the ancestral training, which shows how much impact this incident had on the Qin State.

It is precisely because Qin Xian publicly abolished the precedent of the ancestral training that the follow-up Shang Yang reform law can be smoothly implemented and continued.

Even if the ancestral training has been abolished, "The Book of Songs, Qin Feng, Yellow Bird" is also a scar in the heart of the future generations of King Qin. No one will feel this matter more deeply than King Qin (except for Qin II), basically to the point that he will collapse when he hears "The Book of Songs, Qin Feng, Yellow Bird".

Zhu Xiang read out the "Book of Songs, Qin Feng, Yellow Bird" to explain his strategy, and King Qin simply understood it too well, and he couldn't understand it anymore.

He could even imagine that Zhao Guo repeated the mistakes of Qin State, making the scholars shake their heads at the mention of Zhao State.

Although this negative state can be lifted as long as King Zhao is replaced, it is much better than the Qin State having to carry a black cauldron for hundreds of years. But now this King Zhao is very young, and he will not be replaced for a while, and the time for this negative state is enough for King Qin to plot against Zhao State.

Even if someone within the Zhao State took this opportunity to compete for the throne and let King Zhao leave the throne early, wouldn't it be better? The internal situation in Zhao must be very turbulent!

King Qin was really seriously considering whether to let Zhu Xiang carry out this plan.

After listening to Zhu Xiang's words, King Qin also found that not to mention the court, even he may not be ready to unify the world.

Unifying the world is not just about grabbing territory. After grabbing the territory, it is necessary to govern, and it is necessary to treat other people as Qin people.

If King Qin hadn't gone to Yewang to recruit troops, he might not have accepted Zhu Xiang's idea so easily. But he went to Yewang and felt the fact that people from other countries who had just occupied the territory could also become Qin people under heavy rewards, so he had a new understanding.

If the Qin State is not ready to annex the Zhao State, then it is indeed the best way to dig a pit for the Zhao State while recuperating by itself.

If Zhu Xiang was killed by King Zhao, with Zhu Xiang being the son of Chu's family, the Qin State could still send troops under the pretext of revenge. Although the King of Qin attacked other countries almost always wanted to fight, which monarch didn't want to be famous?

King Qin also wanted to try the feeling of being famous and standing on the side of justice to point fingers at others.

Although Bai Qi didn't understand King Qin as well as Fan Ju, King Qin had made an obvious contemplative expression, and Bai Qi could also know what King Qin was thinking.

He couldn't intercede for Zhu Xiang in front of Zhu Xiang, so he had to interrupt King Qin's thinking out loud: "Zhu Xiang, you have made a great contribution, how could King Zhao kill you?" ”

King Qin came back to his senses and said, "That's right, how can you be sure that King Zhao will kill you?" King Zhao may reuse you. ”

A confident smile appeared on Zhu Xiang's face.

It's just that his self-confidence is that he will definitely be killed, so King Qin, who was still thinking about whether to use Zhu Xiang's death to seek benefits just now, couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart.

"When I allowed the commoners to increase the production of their fields, and taught them how to sell surplus grain and handicrafts on their own, I had already offended many nobles when I was not deceived by the wealthy merchants......"

Before Zhu Xiang finished speaking, Bai Qi interrupted: "Why do you let the commoners' fields increase the production and still offend the nobles?" Shouldn't the aristocracy be happier when they collect more taxes? ”
