However, having said that, Di Xin's actions and policies over the years can even be called the most of the kings of all dynasties, and even Ying Si is very admired.

The first is to attach importance to agriculture and increase national strength.

Priming the way for the abolition of slavery, the emperor no longer slaughtered captives and slaves, but allowed them to participate in productive labor, and the already weak agriculture developed significantly. There were no more people starving to death, and the official warehouses were full of grain.

Second, select the meritocracy, and meritocracy. Di Xin's vision was very broad, and he was not bound by old habits, and he boldly selected talented middle- and lower-class Chinese, abandoning the tradition of giving priority to the hiring of aristocratic ministers. As a result, a large number of civilian officials appeared in the court, and the situation of the aristocratic ministers' dominance was violently impacted. In addition, Emperor Xin also took advantage of this to cut the land and slaves of many ministers, greatly strengthening his control over the country. Although it has also caused dissatisfaction among many ministers, this Yin country belongs to his emperor Xin, not the ministers, how could Di Xin give up his control of the country for the sake of the minister's dissatisfaction?

The third is to despise stereotypes and customs, no longer negotiate peace with the orc tribes, and sacrifice tens of thousands of slaves in exchange for temporary peace. Since Di Xin succeeded to the throne, not only did he no longer give slaves to the orc tribe, but he also repeatedly sent troops to attack the orc tribe and expanded a lot of territory. In addition, the worship of various gods in the Yin Kingdom was also abolished, a lot of food was saved, and many bad customs were eliminated.

Although these policies and merits are not the first emperor of the ages, they are definitely not faint monarchs. However, it is a pity that Di Xin's suppression of the noble ministers is still too light. These aristocratic ministers still have the power to rebel, but they are just waiting for the opportunity, hiding like poisonous snakes. And Xiqi's Xibohou Mansion is the strongest one.

"Taigongwang, I don't know if you have any good countermeasures to solve the current problem?" should think about and guess, if you want to survive this dream, it is probably to solve the drought in Xiqi, or to take a step closer and help Xiqi win the position of the lord of the country.

Jiang Shang, by Ji Sheng and his son Ji Fa, is respectfully called "Taigongwang". Known for his wisdom and knowledge, he was deeply respected by Xibohou and his son.

Hearing that Ying Si was asking himself, Jiang Shang smiled and came to the map with a peachwood cane. "Our country in Yin has suffered a major drought, but the drought is more serious than in the western part of Yin. In the western part of the Yin country, the most severely affected is our Xiqi. Even, it has reached the point where it is easy to eat. For today's plan, we have to ask the king to open a warehouse and release grain for disaster relief. ”

"What, please ask Di Xin's faint monarch to open a warehouse and release grain? This is simply a fantasy, old gentleman, are you afraid that you are not confused?" Before Ji Sheng could speak, Ji Fa jumped up, in his eyes, that Di Xin was a heinous faint monarch!

Ying Siliang sighed (after all, if you want to act, you have to act completely), and reprimanded gently: "Fa'er, Hugh is rude, Di Xin is your father's brother-in-law after all, and he is your uncle." How can you say that about him?"

"Hmph, it's obviously a tyrant. That's what my uncles and the ministers of the court said about him. He went against the grain and wanted to emancipate the slaves and abolish the ancestral system, but he was afraid that he would lose his mind and go crazy. Ji Fa did not seem to have repented, because in his eyes, what he saw and heard were all bad things about Di Xin and the ministers who rebuked Di Xin's practices. "I didn't say it, Daddy, though you and the old thief Dixin are sworn brothers. But he is a tyrant to whom everyone is condemned, and we must distance ourselves from him, and even overthrow his tyrannical rule one day. We take our place and add supreme glory to our Xiqi. ”

"You hairy boy, what you eat, wear, and use now is all Di Xinfa's money. Even this Xibohou Mansion was built by Emperor Xin in recognition of your Lao Tzu Ji Sheng's merits. Ying Sili couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Eating other people's food, using other people's food, and thinking about other people's Di Xin's country and the throne under his seat." If you don't eat the king's luck, you can just share the king's worries, and you still want to rebel. You're really a good citizen. ”

should think about it and know that these are the deliberate results of Ji Sheng's relatives and the nobles and ministers in the court. They distorted the children's minds and tarnished the image of the emperor by teaching by words and deeds, slandering and framing. Let the next generation and the uninformed people be full of strong hatred for Di Xin, and let the figure of a tyrant be deeply engraved in the hearts of the next generation and all the uninformed people.

Jiang Shang has lived for decades, and he naturally knows everything about this little trick, but he didn't break it. Because, what they want to do is to act against the king, and naturally they want to say that the black is white, and put other people's evil deeds or trumped-up charges on Di Xin. In this way, we can occupy the righteousness and let them be like shallots mixed with tofu, innocent and without any selfishness

"What the young master said is very true, but now, it is not the time to talk about this. Jiang Shang continued: "I believe that as long as we use the lives of all the people in the west as bargaining chips, Di Xin will definitely provide us with food for disaster relief." However, this is an opportunity to overthrow the tyrannical rule of Emperor Xin, and we must seize it. ”

"Opportunity?" the Xibohou father and son wondered.

Jiang Shang said with a little meaning: "Of course it's an opportunity, an opportunity for Di Xin to dig his own grave." ”

.........

The dream flows, and the scene changes again.

In the palace of King Yin, Di Xin was in the court, receiving reports from hundreds of officials of the imperial court.

"Tell the king that the drought in the south has been relieved, and the people have been pacified. Moreover, his subordinates have already sent troops to dig several wells, and they will not have any problems drinking water. Bigan reported.

"He is worthy of being a general of Bigan, not only leading the troops to win a hundred battles, but also having a hand in governing civil affairs. 10,000 taels of silver, 100 pieces of silk, and 10 beauties. "Sitting on the throne, he is middle-aged, but he is still in good spirits, and the years do not seem to have left a trace on his countenance. But the imperial spirit accumulated over the years cannot be concealed, and the courtiers in the court don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere. He knows the imperial power technique, rewards and punishments are clear, and he is meticulous in handling government affairs.

Di Xin's royal brother, Wei Ziqi, also walked out from among the ministers, he held the ivory courtboard, and reported: "Brother Qi, what Brother Wang ordered, the minister brother has also done. The eastern region is surrounded by mountains and rivers, so the drought is not very serious. It's just that the wild beasts in the mountains often come down to spread the wilderness, which seriously affects the people's cultivation and the safety of their lives. So, the younger brother took matters into his own hands and led an army to bring tigers, leopards, wolves, and bears within a radius of ten miles...... Seven or eight out of ten of these large beasts were killed to keep the people safe. Please atone for your sins, brother. As for the meat from hunting, I have ordered it to be dried or salted, so that the soldiers who are about to go out can eat the meat. By the way, there is also a part of the prey, which is specially used by the courtiers to give to the royal brother. ”

Di Xin showed a fleeting smile and praised: "Brother Wang's guilt is not only to complete the task of disaster relief, but also to mobilize troops, go up the mountains to hunt, and eliminate harm for the people, this is a great achievement! However, since you are a member of the royal family, how can you risk your own life? In this way, don't bring that small army of yours." I will give you a piece of the Flying Tiger Army's talisman, and in the future, if there is a war, I will order you to lead the troops into battle. ”

"King Xie!" Wei Ziqi hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

"Is this a glass of wine to release the military power? Taking the opportunity of the reward to collect Wei Ziqi's private soldiers, it is really a good means. Ying Siliang, who played Ji Sheng on the side, said: "However, although Wei Ziqi's private soldiers were withdrawn, he was placed in one of the ace armies of the Yin State, strengthening the control of the army and checking and balancing each other. What a radish and a stick cone, killing three birds with one stone!"

After Di Xin finished speaking, he turned his gaze to his righteous brother, Ji Sheng, the Xibohou of Yin State. "I don't know, how is the drought handled in the west that Xibohou is responsible for?"

Ying Si fell to his knees with a sigh of caution, and tears fell. "Tell the king, your subordinates are useless, all the food in the Xibo Marquis Mansion is almost exhausted, and the disaster has not been greatly alleviated. Your Majesty hopes that the king will open up the treasury to help the people of Xiqi and save them from the dire situation. ”

"Isn't it, Xibohou, who has always been known for his resourcefulness, can't even handle the drought?"

"You know, there is a lack of water in the western part of our country, especially in Xiqi, where the drought is the most serious in our country. ”

"Come to think of it, Xiqi has not been peaceful in recent years, and it is understandable that Xibohou has not been able to solve the drought problem. ”

Xibohou has an excellent reputation in the court, and many people excuse him. However, Di Xin, who was sitting on the throne, had a bad face, although Ji Sheng was his brother-in-law, but it was not good if he had too much influence in the court.

"I object, because the grain reserves in our treasury have been greatly reduced by the conquests of recent years. If they were all given relief to the victims of the disaster, what would the soldiers eat if there was another war? Will the war still be fought?" Bigan stood up and stated the drawbacks of the matter.

"Bigan is a well-known loyal minister. Ying Si glanced at Bigan and said secretly in his heart.

"General, what do you mean, are you planning to sit back and watch the people of Xiqi starve to death?"

"Hehe, General, do you have any grudges with Xiqi that made this decision?"

"If the king does not open the treasury and give relief to the victims, the people of Xiqi will be displaced and eaten. Don't you know, General?"

The other courtiers, in the face of Bigan's opposition, immediately refuted them. They have a good relationship with Xiqi, how can they sit back and watch Xiqi's strength be greatly weakened by the drought?

Di Xin pinched his eyebrows, he also felt tricky about this matter. But in the end, he said: "There is no need to fight, the people of the west, after all, are the people of this king." In this way, open the treasury and take out one-third of the grain to Xiqi for relief to the victims. ”

"King!" Bigan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Di Xin's eyes.

Ying Sili stood up again with the court card and said: "The king is kind-hearted, and his subordinates are for the people of Xiqi, thank you for the king's life-saving grace." ”

"The minister still has something to report. The western part of our country is relatively far away from water sources and often has droughts. Therefore, I hope that the king can build a grand canal connecting the east and west, divert water from the east to the west, and completely solve the problem of drought in the west. ”

Di Xin chewed on the three words in Ying Si's mouth repeatedly. "The Grand Canal?"
