Chapter 9 In the third quarter, the Zhengshitang concocted a trick

When Jing Jian walked out of the house, the sun had not yet risen, but Dongshan was already glowing red. Based on years of experience in the field of wind and rain, he knew that today must be either rain or cloudy, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked towards the government.The Qin State has been fighting for years, and it has become very poor. It is impossible for a general like him who only serves as a doctor to have a bullock cart to ride.Let's ride, horses are lacking.In order to save the horsepower of horses, Qin Xiangong had already ordered that Qin people be forbidden to ride horses in the city, and it was forbidden to use war horses to plow the fields and drive.For decades, officials of Qin State have been used to Anbu as a car in Yueyang City.All the ministers did not have carts, but only a few veterans who had reached the age of seventy had the mule specially given by the monarch as a substitute for transportation.In such a capital city, people can't imagine the rich and prosperous scenes like Daliang of Wei State and Linzi of Qi State.The mornings in Liyang are always very quiet, and the city people sweeping the courts are also sparse.Although he was used to the tranquility of Liyang City, Jing Jian still noticed some unusual signs this morning.There are five or six shops opened by merchants from Shandong on Guofu Street. They have a wealth of goods and are diligent and dedicated. They always open their doors at dawn to clean up the house, but why are they not open today?Look again, there was not a single cowherd farmer who went out of the city early in the morning to work.The few small iron shops opened by the Chinese have also lost the sound of tinkling iron.No, something extraordinary must have happened that I didn't know about!Last night, it was already the second watch after the secret scouts were selected and sent to Daliang. Jing Jian was almost carried onto the couch, and slept as deeply as a camp on the battlefield. How could he know what was going on?Suddenly thinking of the division of the six kingdoms into the Qin Dynasty, Jing Jian suddenly became nervous, let go of his pace and ran towards the government.

Arriving in front of the Political Affairs Hall, Jing Jian heard a burst of laughter coming from the main hall on the east side. He was very puzzled, so he hurried up the steps and reported loudly: "The former deputy general of the army, Jing Jian, is here—" Qin Xiaogong's voice came from the main hall, "General Jingjian, come in, I'll be waiting for you." Jing Jian stepped into the hall, and saw Qin Xiaogong smiling and pacing in front of the long desk in the spacious black and red room.In the hall under the three-level stone steps, there are four ministers sitting on both sides, namely Zuo Shu Chang Yingqian, Shang Dafu Qian Long, Zhong Dafu Du Zhi, and Chang Shi Gongsun Jia.Yueyang Lingzi'an stood in the middle and was gesticulating and talking about something. The monarchs and ministers were obviously laughing because of him.Jing Jian was puzzled, looked at Qin Xiaogong, and then at the ministers, murmuring, not knowing what to do.Qin Xiaogong waved his hand, pointing to the empty book table behind Grand Shi Gongsun Jia: "Sit there, Supervisor Jing. Zi'an, tell me about the coming at night, so that Supervisor Jing can understand."

Zi'an told how the rumors spread last night, how the emperor gave orders, and how he himself led the soldiers to search and arrest merchants and spies from the six countries.When talking about the embarrassment and embarrassment of those spies from the six countries who appeared as businessmen after being detained, Zi'an vividly said, "There is a businessman from Chu State with a long beard and a big belly, who is bragging in a low voice at the home of an old Qin family, General Pang Juan of Wei State. I jumped over the wall with three sergeants and ordered him to follow us. He plopped on the ground and cried in a drawn-out tone, "Old Grandpa Qin, I'm a merchant, not a scout, you can't kill me." "I said who wants to kill you? Just stay with us for a few days. He cried again, "Where will I go if you don't kill me? I have a place to live." I want you to brag about the Wei Kingdom against the wall! He was so frightened that he kowtowed and kowtowed, "I beg you, old man, let me go. I have a sixteen-year-old concubine for you. You should immediately let me go." Follow me to pick it up, or I can send it to the general's mansion right away.'..."

Before he finished speaking, the monarchs and ministers laughed again, and Jing Jian laughed so hard that tears flowed out. Senior Doctor Qian Long shook his head and said with emotion: "In the face of crisis, people's hearts will see for themselves. Such people are standing between heaven and earth? It's strange." "The doctor thinks, how should these profiteers be dealt with?" Although the doctor Du Zhi was a civil servant, he had a rough appearance and asked loudly. Qian Long sneered, "Since Duke Mu, Qin has been at odds with the princes of Shandong. The secret agents and scouts are too ruthless. The only strategy is to kill them all."

Qin Xiaogong was about to introduce the topic to the heavy crisis of the Qin State, but he didn't want Du Zhi's unintentional question to make him think. He also wanted to hear the ministers' thoughts on this matter, so he didn't rush to speak.After Qian Long finished speaking, he thought of his order last night, and his heart sank.Qin Xiaogong didn't expect that there would be such a big difference between him and the senior ministers. He calmed down and was ready to listen to other ministers. When Qian Long's words fell to the point, Du Zhi immediately echoed loudly, "The doctor has a good opinion. Shandong profiteers are a serious problem for our Qin State, and not killing them will not be enough to stabilize the people's hearts!"

Chief Shi Gongsun Jia looked at the hall, smiled and said: "This is a big matter, let's listen to Zuo Shu's opinion first." Zuo Concubine Yingqian naturally knew the monarch's arrangement last night, but he replied calmly: "Yingqian has no final opinion yet." "What about the Liyang Order? You are a minister of merit." Gongsun Jia asked again. Liyang Ling Zi'an replied straightly: "Changshi planned for the article, why don't you just ask someone else? What about you?" Of course he also knew the new king's order and faithfully carried it out, but seeing that Zuo Shu didn't say anything, he also I don't want to say it.The lessons of hundreds of years of blood in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period abound. All officials know that the power field is most turbulent in the early days of a new monarch's accession to the throne, and the younger the monarch, the greater the turmoil.At this time, everyone will be more careful.Although the brave Liyang Ling was severely reprimanded as "slow" by the young monarch during the turbulent crisis last night, he was by no means slow to the basics of this power field.

The white-faced and thin-bearded Gongsun Jia was obviously very delicate, he pondered for a moment and answered calmly: "I have no idea yet." Among them, probably only Jing Jian is the most clear about the serious crisis facing Qin, and he is puzzled by the cloudy answers of these veterans and ministers.Only one senior doctor, Qian Long, had a clear attitude, but Jing Jian strongly disagreed.But no matter what thoughts and ideas he has, he can't speak first.Everyone here is older, more senior, and more powerful than him.The senior doctor, Gan Long, is a famous Confucian scholar in Gan State, Shandong Province, and the third generation elder of Qin State. When Qin Xiangong went to war for years, it was always Qian Long who presided over the state affairs. His students and followers were all over Qin State. Jing Jian even gave him the qualification to be a student. nothing.Zuo Concubine Yingqian is the nobleman of the public family and the brother-in-law of the monarch, not to mention that he is a powerful minister who leads the three armies.Chief Shi Gongsun Jia is in charge of the secrets of the office and is often at the side of the monarch. Although he has no military power, he is also one of the few key ministers.Liyang Lingzi'an is a descendant of Qin Mugong's famous official Yuyu, who is in charge of the military and political power in the capital. Although he is not a key minister of the state government, his actual power is enough to turn the world upside down. ?Even Du Zhi, the middle doctor who is the loudest and the lowest in the rank, Jing Jian can't compare with him.Not to mention that Du Zhi is a student of Qian Long, but in terms of power, although Jing Jian is also a former lieutenant general of the army with the same rank as a doctor, his title is only one rank lower than Du Zhi, but in fact he is not even in the army. A position in any practical area of ​​responsibility - lieutenant general.Du Zhi is different, he has a string of suffixes as a middle doctor, which is called "assisting the doctor as a supervisor and leading Datian Taicang".To assist the doctor as a judge is to confirm that he is the deputy of the doctor; to take charge of Datian Taicang also means that he is also in charge of Qin's farming, grain and storage.At that time, these were the two most important lifeline powers.The Zhou royal family called the minister of this position "Situ", and later called Situ, who was an important minister alongside Sima (in charge of soldiers), Sikong (in charge of engineering), and Sikou (in charge of punishment).How can Jing Jian compare with such a Chinese doctor?If the new monarch hadn't ordered him to be the envoy of the Golden Order and Arrow, and specially ordered him to attend today's court meeting, it would be impossible for him to have the opportunity to sit with these important officials.However, because of this, Jing Jian has no scruples.He had only one idea in his mind, once he was a secret envoy and undertook a major mission, he had to tell the king and ministers the truth about all the situation and thoughts he knew, so that they could do their best to save Qin, otherwise they would be ashamed The monarch has a lot of trust.As for whether it will be adopted after speaking out, that is not what Jing Jian thinks at the moment.

Gongsun Jia's smile hadn't completely subsided, Jing Jian suddenly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lords, Jing Jian thinks that the spies of merchants from the six countries cannot be killed, and killing them will be harmful to Qin." With a sound of "Pa!", Chinese doctor Du Zhi slapped the table and scolded, "Who are you? How dare you refute the doctor's opinion?" "I am Jing Jian, the envoy of the Jinling Arrow who went to the Wei State to spy on the secrets. The Qin State is facing a catastrophe, and we must not add fuel to the fire of the six kingdoms!"

"Hahaha, pity for the same kind." A burst of laughter, Jing Jian's words were interrupted by Du Zhi's sharp sarcasm. Qin Xiaogong's eyes lit up, but he finally didn't speak, he still wanted to take a look.At this time, Yingqian, the head of the left concubine, said, "Du Zhi is rude. In the face of crisis, we should work together. What's wrong with listening to Jingjian?" Yingqian was originally a general with a deep and violent personality. When he spoke, the audience was silent as soon as he opened his mouth. Du Zhi's words were harsh, and Jing Jian wanted to reciprocate, but he was generous by nature and saw Zuo Shuzhang scolding Du Zhi, so he didn't care about it anymore.He once again bowed his hands to the monarchs and ministers in the hall, and said in a high voice: "Qin is weak and the six countries are strong. The secret agents of the merchants of the six countries will only stimulate the six countries even more, making them use the pretext of saving the merchants of the six countries to rush forward quickly. With Qin's current strength, how long can we resist?"

Gongsun Jia asked indifferently: "In your opinion, if the spies are not killed, will the Six Kingdoms stop raising their troops?" Jing Jian said seriously: "If we don't kill the spies, naturally we can't make the six countries stop their troops. However, at least the six countries can't find a reason to attack aggressively, and our Qin country can also find countermeasures during this period." Du Zhi laughed and said: "Ah, General Jing Jian has a great plan, he has a plan to come up with it." Jing Jian ignored Du Zhi's sarcasm, and said in one breath after thinking all the way, "Although the world is constantly fighting, everyone must find a grandiose reason for raising troops. Otherwise, the army will come out without a name, and the morale of the people will be low. Coalition operations will also be very difficult. If my country, Qin, arrests the spies and does not kill them, it will show the world that Qin is willing to reconcile with the six countries. If it arrests and kills them all, it will openly form an immediate alliance with the six countries of Shandong. A blood feud. The ruling and opposition parties of the six countries will hate Qin to the bone. Even if I try my best to mediate, I am afraid that I will not escape the military disaster. Because of this, the secret agents of the six countries should not only not kill them, but also protect their property, treat their bodies well, and let them Doing business in the Qin State, you can stay or stay as you please. Your Majesty, please weigh the importance of this with your lords." He said eloquently, with reasons and evidence, obviously the result of hard thinking all the way.

The little man said something, but there was no one in the hall to refute it, and there was a long silence.Qin Xiaogong was very pleased.He didn't expect that this little friend in his youth would coincide with him so much in major matters?As an old Qin person, there are many men who are staunch, loyal, loyal, hate, hate to death, and love to death, but it is more difficult to find a man who is both tough and flexible and knows how to endure and wait. It is more difficult than forging a sword.Asking the old Qin people to swear to the death to fight for the broken jade rather than the whole, it is a response from all over the world.But if the old Qin people want to hide their power and bide their time in detours, it is a song of the spring and those who make peace will be overwhelmed.Even those famous Shandong Confucian scholars like Gan Long, who lived in Qin State for a long time, have become stubborn and stubborn.As a monarch, the young Ying Quliang has a depth and broadness beyond his age. Naturally, he deeply understands that the tough character of the old Qin tribe is very precious. Otherwise, how could the Qin State dominate the world for four hundred years?However, if the upper-level temple figures of Qin State are also such people, how can Qin State achieve great things?Even in the face of this crisis of destroying the country, it is not difficult to show off the courage of the blood, but the difficulty is to calmly endure and take the overall situation into consideration and then turn the danger into a bargain.Who in the old Qin Dynasty doesn't hate the Secret Agents of the Six Kingdoms?Killing them must be supported by the whole country.At this time, it is possible to think of not killing one's most hated enemies, but treating them kindly. How broad a vision does this require?How many chronic diseases in the character of the old Qin people need to be overcome?Not to mention that Jing Jian is still a young general fighting in the battlefield.When Qin Xiaogong thought of these last night, he felt heavy and lonely.But when Jing Jian said this generously and calmly, he was excited and relieved, he felt that he was no longer alone. In an instant, the young monarch felt deep gratitude to the young general. At this time, the gruff voice of Yingqian Zuoshu rang out, "General Jing Jian is right. With Qin's current strength, we can hardly resist Wei. How can we be enemies with the six countries at the same time?" Liyang Ling Zi'an also followed, "Zi'an agrees with Zuo Shuchang's words, not to kill the spies." He knew very well in his heart that the monarch had originally ordered not to kill or plunder, and Zuo Shuchang's speech was equivalent to finalizing the matter.Because Qianlong was mostly in charge of internal affairs on weekdays, he didn't have much decision-making power over this kind of foreign affairs, and the power in this aspect lay with Zuo Shuchang. Gongsun Jia kept nodding when everyone was talking, and now he said with a calm smile: "The overall situation is clear. What's going on? It's up to you to decide." Qianlong remained expressionless and said nothing.Du Zhi just sneered slightly and didn't speak. Qin Xiaogong patted the book case lightly at this time: "The secret agents of the six countries will not be killed for the time being, the property will not be moved, and the person will not be injured. If there is a change in the movements of the six countries, it will not be too late to kill him. He is in my hands, so why not be afraid?" Yes? However, the Liyang Order must strictly monitor the spies of the six countries, and no one is allowed to leave Qin within half a year, let alone escape. Otherwise, there will be no pardon.” The young monarch showed his power for the first time in the Zhengshitang, But he is not angry. "Your servant obeys." Liyang ordered Zi'an to stand up solemnly, accepting the order loudly. "Everyone," Qin Xiaogong looked around the hall and said solemnly: "Today's court meeting has actually begun. The Shandong Six Kingdoms Alliance proposed that the six countries rule the world and delineate the sphere of influence for the annexation of small princes. But more importantly, the Shandong Six Kingdoms It is necessary to carve up the state of Qin and turn the world's seven great powers into six great powers. When and by what means will the six powers implement their ambition to divide Qin? It is not clear yet. But what is certain is that Qin is already facing the most difficult situation in a century. The serious crisis of destroying the country. Let the old Qin go to the country together. This is an old oath known to all women and children of Qin. At this time of survival, we, the monarchs and ministers, should work together to plan for the country and work together, so that we can plan a safe Countermeasures and strategies." After speaking, Yoyo toured around, "Everyone, don't have any scruples, whoever speaks first will do." There was another silence.Prior to this, these ministers had also heard all kinds of news about the Alliance of the Six Nations, including various rumors intentionally leaked to them by spies from the Six Nations.Today, the monarch solemnly proposed to consult the plan of life and death, and the ministers immediately felt strong pressure. Fighting is impossible, escape is impossible, and surrender is impossible. We must come up with a countermeasure that can neither fight nor flee nor surrender. can resolve this crisis.However, the crisis is imminent, how to think carefully in a hurry?For a while, no one had anything to say. The senior official, Qianlong, is knowledgeable and has presided over state affairs for a long time. He is a senior veteran present. It is not in line with the law. I, Qin, was originally the founding prince of Pingwang who moved to the east. I have made great contributions to the royal family. The emperor will not sit idly by when Qin is in trouble. The old minister thought that when he wrote to the King of Zhou in Luoyang, he issued an edict in the name of the emperor. Refute the fallacy of the six-nation alliance, and the truth will be revealed to the world. At the same time, in the name of the royal family, our Qin State united a number of small and medium-sized princes to form an army of hundreds of thousands to compete with the soldiers and horses of the six countries. If this can be done, the crisis will be solved , the country is very lucky." Gan Long chose his words carefully, and his words were very cautious, not clear and decisive, but just speaking in a deliberative tone of "what the old minister thinks".But this is precisely a kind of reserve formed by his identity, power and prestige, which by no means means that he is ambiguous. Jing Jian has no idea about the habits, style and intricate relationship of the powerful officials in the country. He thinks that as long as he finishes what he thinks, he will live up to the monarch's trust, and he doesn't look at anyone's face.At this moment, after hearing Qian Long's countermeasure, he couldn't help laughing out loud, but tried to hold it back.Seeing that no one was talking, he coughed and asked solemnly: "The doctor's countermeasures are too pedantic. The Zhou royal family has declined to an isolated city, and it is difficult to protect itself. Who will recognize this emperor from the six kingdoms? Or if it is issued, what is the use of a piece of edict? As for uniting small and medium-sized princes in the name of the royal family, it is even more impracticable..." "Jing Jian is bold!" Du Zhi's face turned red, and he interrupted the topic loudly: "What the doctor said is very true. The name is right, and the word is right. The alliance of the Six Nations, Zhou Tianzi, Qin State and the princes of the world are being bullied together. My Qin State Only by denouncing its absurdity in the name of the Son of Heaven can we call on the princes of the world to form a multi-national alliance! How can you say that you are pedantic and illogical?" "Dr. Du," Yingqian said coldly, "Your Majesty has something to say, and you have no scruples about your words. Are you in such a hurry?" Du Zhi was at a loss for words, "Okay, okay, let him talk." Gongsun Jia made an exception and interjected, "It works, but it's really useless. Your Majesty makes a clear decision." Jing Jian was honest and honest, "I don't agree with the doctor's idea. But I haven't thought of any countermeasure yet." Du Zhi smiled coldly, gave Jing Jian a hard look, opened his mouth and stopped talking. Zuo Shu Zhang Yingqian kept tapping on the book table, frowning and meditating. At this moment, he raised his head and said: "The emperor's edict is feasible but useless for the doctor's policy. It is feasible but useless to unite troops to fight against it. Not to mention the hastily assembled allied forces. There is no combat power at all, and it is extremely difficult to just establish a multinational allied army. Besides the six countries, there are 32 small and medium-sized vassal states in the world, and the total number of troops is about 300,000, which is indeed a large number. But they were divided by the six kingdoms in various cracks, and soldiers and horses could not gather across the big kingdoms. Even if they crossed over, they could not enter Hangu Pass. Also, the Six Great Powers were eager to swallow up the small and medium-sized princes. How dare a small country provoke a big country and send it to the tiger? It is really possible to capture our envoy and go to the big country to claim credit. To go to the doctor, Yingqian thinks, we have to find a better plan." Qian Long was a little embarrassed, but he still chuckled, "Of course. If you have a good strategy, you should be taught." Liyang Ling Zi'an sneered: "These little princes, hmph, let them follow the army of the Six Kingdoms and divide them. Qin meat is possible. If you want to unite with Qin, hehehe, they can't hide in time." "Then do you have any brilliant ideas? Take them out." Du Zhi blushed, as if his ideas had been refuted. "If you want me to tell you, let's fight to the death with the Six Kingdoms!" Zi'an suddenly stood up, pulled out the dagger in his hand, slammed it into the brick on the ground, and scolded, "Bird! Are you so scared? Old Qin Human blood is shed on the battlefield. Didn’t the old Qin clan forcefully carve out a piece of land in the siege of Rong and Di? There was no way out, and there was no way out. Road? Please give the order to make 200,000 filial piety, and fight the bloody battle of the six countries! Zi'an asks to be a vanguard general, and if you don't behead 100,000 heads, you will not come back alive!" The descendants of this famous minister were impassioned and burst into tears. He was so impatient with the chatter that he forgot that this was the Political Affairs Hall.However, his impassioned cursing and generosity to fight is indeed the true nature of the old Qin people, which frightened Du Zhi and Gongsun Jia who had never fought a bloody battle, dumbfounded. Zuo Shuchang Yingqian changed his face, "Zi'an, take back your sword. This is the political affairs hall, not the battlefield." Yingqian is the commander-in-chief of the Qin army and a powerful general who shocked the three armies. Only he can deter the uniqueness of the old Qin people. His true nature is impulsive. Zi'an silently pulled out the short sword stuck in the ground, and sat down before returning to the case with a sullen face, weeping and wiping away tears. Qin Xiaogong's face was as usual, he didn't seem to notice Zi'an's fierce generosity, and he didn't mean to blame him at all.At this moment, he just felt that with Yingqian, a concubine brother, he saved half of his energy.With Yingqian standing in the way, he would have room to fully think about everyone's propositions.Of course, there is no need to think about Zi'an's claim.It is a tragic road of martyrdom. When there is no way to retreat, the only option is to draw the sword and rise to the bloody battlefield to live and die with the country.As long as you are mentally prepared, there is no need to think too much.In times of crisis, the bravery of the main fighters is always the most valuable.As the king of a country, he can ignore his words, but he can't hurt his heart anyway.He stood up from his seat, walked to Zi'an, handed him a white cloth sweat towel, and sighed, "Zi'an, if Qin has nowhere to go, I will fight to the end like you. The ministers here They will also draw their swords." "Wow——" Zi'an burst into tears. For a moment, all the monarchs and ministers in the hall wiped away their tears and sighed. Qin Xiaogong stood in the hall and asked slowly and heavily: "Everyone, is it true that Qin has nowhere to go?" He looked at the only supervisor Jing who did not speak.As long as there is one person who doesn't speak, Qin Xiaogong will not express his own thoughts. He must base his decision-making on the basis of his subordinates' opinions to the greatest extent.The new king is on the throne, and the best way to get the ministers to work together is to make them feel that they are promoting their own ideas.Unless it is necessary to make a decisive decision at an emergency like last night, Qin Xiaogong would rather let his ministers come down to make a decision.This is not only the result of his thinking, but also the result of his character. "Your Majesty, my lords," Jing Jian stood up and muttered, "I have a policy, I don't know if I should say it or not." Qin Xiaogong laughed heartily and said: "Life and death, we will do anything. As long as it is useful, it is elegant. Tell me, I'll wait to hear about this indecent strategy." Du Zhi couldn't hold back a "Hang Chi" smile, and quickly covered his mouth bow your head. Jing Jian was generous, and said in a clear voice: "Jing Jian is thinking, and there is only one plan available at the moment: Secretly lobby the six countries, buy powerful officials with a lot of money, divide the six countries, delay the time, and make the six countries divide the Qin alliance to collapse on its own. Among the six countries, Qi State and Qin State do not share boundaries, and will not take the initiative to be the leader. South Korea’s Yan State is the weakest, and it will not attack Qin alone. The three kingdoms of Wei, Chu, and Zhao are the most powerful, and they are also the most powerful and most likely to attack Qin alone. In Wei, Chu, and Zhao, there are powerful ministers who love money and sex. Especially in the state of Wei, because the king of Wei loves jewelry and famous utensils, many ministers are greedy. As long as we bribe beautiful women with a lot of money and promise other benefits, these powerful ministers will never We are disappointed. If the three countries do not move, the division of the six countries into Qin will naturally be delayed, and the alliance will collapse if it is delayed." "Everyone, it really is an indecent policy." Qin Xiaogong couldn't help laughing. The ministers in the hall laughed together.Du Zhi laughed so hard that his tears and snot couldn't be wiped away, and he coughed repeatedly.Qian Long frowned and shook his head, "Beauty pays a lot of money? How decent is it? Wouldn't it make the world laugh?" Gongsun Jia just laughed, but didn't speak.Liyang Ling Zian clicked his lips, "Jingjian, which Jingjian, thank you for thinking it out!" Zuo Shu Zhang Yingqian smiled slightly, but was silent in thought. Only Jing Jian didn't smile at all, and looked at the monarch and ministers blankly. Yingqian suddenly stood up, "The policy of Jingjian is to turn the ugliness into the ugliness, which is very useful. Speaking of which, isn't that country vicious and vicious under Fang today? Zhao Chenghou is a man, in order to win Wei, he insisted on throwing away his beauty. The concubine was given to the king of Wei. Didn’t the state of Chu bribe the general of the state of Qi, Tian Ji, with three thousand pieces of gold, so that Qi and Chu stopped fighting? Pang Juan, who is known as a celebrity, bribed the concubine of the king of Wei in order to become the prime minister. When the country is alive and dead, there is Why taboo? After all, the old Qin people used to only know that soldiers came to block water and come to the earth, but they didn't think of using dirty tricks. Now that the six countries force us to use dirty tricks, we will use them. Why are we afraid of him?" Gongsun Jia murmured: "Dare to ask the doctor, how much money does the treasury have? How many beauties does Qin have?" Qian Long sneered, "I only know that the gold is less than five thousand. How many beauties are there? Hmph, probably only Chang Shi knows." Gongsun Jia didn't seem to notice Qian Long's ridicule, and thought to himself: "Five thousand gold? If there are two powerful ministers in each of the three kingdoms of Wei, Chu, and Zhao, that would be six people. Excluding the special envoy's gold for secret activities and the money for collecting beautiful women, each powerful minister would only be worth 10000 gold." You can get three hundred gold. The rewards that the powerful officials of Wei, Chu, and Zhao received from the king are often hundreds of gold, and their appetites are extremely greedy. They may not even look at three hundred gold. If there is no amount of ten thousand gold, this plan is difficult OK. General Jingjian, what do you think?" As a low-level general who fought fiercely on the battlefield, Jing Jian really didn't know that the government was so tight.What Gongsun Jia said is indeed true.For a while, Jing Jian was stunned in the hall, speechless. Du Zhi looked quite serious, "I can give the three hundred gold rewarded by the late emperor to General Jingjian, but it's just a drop in the bucket, and it's hard to sustain." Qian Long sneered, "The old man can also take out 800 gold, is that enough?" Suddenly, Qin Xiaogong, who had been pacing and meditating, had bright eyes, as if he had realized something because of this, and stood there without moving for a long time, as if he was thinking about something again.For a moment, he glanced at the hall with piercing eyes, "Everyone, the sword of the Six Kingdoms has pierced my throat, and the country's peril is at stake. We, the monarchs and ministers, can't stick to it. Duke Xiang of the Spring and Autumn Song Dynasty abides by benevolence and righteousness, and does not strike halfway through. Soldier, defeating the master, humiliating the country, and laughing at the world. However, what Song Xianggong lost was only a small hegemony after all. Not today, once his hands and feet are bound, the old Qin people will perish and exterminate the country. The six countries want to destroy Qin and divide Qin, the most vicious It is a front and back attack. The Eastern soldiers suppressed the border, and at the same time instigated the western Rongdi rebellion. At that time, the old Qin people might not even have a retreat back to the Longxi River Valley. They want to wipe out the old Qin tribe, and we will not even surrender. Accept. This is the subjugation of the country, please consider it.” Suddenly, he turned his back, and his shoulders trembled slightly. All the audience was moved for a while, and a biting coldness suddenly penetrated everyone's spine. Gongsun Jiakang said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty's choice is that, the ministers will wait until they die!" He is a person who rarely expresses his position clearly, but at this moment he is also panting heavily with his face flushed. "Through the water and the edge, death will not follow your heels" is the Mohist oath that has been spread all over the world. It is said that Mohist disciples follow Mozi.It is very exciting that Gongsun Jia used this oath here today.Everyone couldn't help but be generous in unison, "If you go through fire and water, you will die!" Qin Xiaogong had already turned around, his voice was slightly hoarse, "The blood of Ying Quliang will flow with the people of old Qin." "My lord—— "Several ministers, together with Jing Jian, prostrated themselves on the ground, choking with sobs. Qin Xiaogong let out a long breath, and his tone became calm, "Please, the old Qin people are not easy to bully, I still have to come up with my own opinion, otherwise, I will have no face to face the people of the country." "But It's up to the emperor to decide!" The ministers said in unison. "To be honest, the plan of Jingjian is an emergency strategy." Qin Xiaogong walked down the three steps, pacing slowly, "A lot of money is the key to beautiful women. As for beauties, it's good to have them, and it doesn't hurt the overall situation if you don't have them. The 8,000 gold stored in the government cannot be used, it is the lifeblood of Qin's 100,000 troops. In addition, it cannot be expropriated from the people. After a hundred years of turbulent wars, more than half of the people of Qin fled, and those who stayed were old Qin people. They have already He was about to be squeezed dry, and his family was destitute and impoverished, leaving only the blood of the old Qin people. No matter how difficult the government is, they can’t take their ideas.” When the young monarch said this, his eyes were already full of tears, and he was so heavy that he stopped. Come down and breathe.After a while, Qin Xiaogong raised his head and said passionately, "When the country is in crisis, where does the money come from? Ying Quliang, as the king of Qin, is willing to take out the two thousand gold from the king's private treasury, and then give away the treasures that the Zhou royal family has bestowed on him in the public office. The treasures are given together. There are still gaps in the rest..." Suddenly, he stopped talking. In an instant, the hall of the Political Affairs Hall was silent.The ministers were deeply shocked by the announcement of the young monarch.Since ancient times, it is unheard of for a monarch to use a private treasury and donate all the treasures in the treasury.The monarch's private treasury is actually a disguised form of the treasury.These money treasures are mainly used for two purposes. One is to provide daily expenses for the monarch's palace, and the other is to reward meritorious subjects.Because these two uses are decided by the monarch without the need for the Minister of Finance, it has been customary to regard the palace treasury as the monarch's private treasury.The palace of the Qin State has always been simple, and the total number of the monarch's guards, servants, maids, workshop craftsmen, and various civil and official offices is less than a thousand.The direct lineage of the king of Qin never lived in the palace, but like all the big clans of Qin, except for the old and young women who were entrusted to farm, almost all the men were in the army and did not need the palace to support them.In this way, the main purpose of the money in the private treasury of the Qin State Palace is actually to reward and comfort the soldiers who died in battle.For the king of a country, the authority under the rule cannot be separated from the two words of official and salary. The loss of money and treasures in the treasury of the king means that the king of a country will be reduced to a tragic situation where there is no reward for meritorious officials. Anyone who thinks about it will feel guilty.The bounden duty of a minister is to share worries with you.The monarch's family is surrounded by walls, so what's the face of the ministers? The six courtiers in the hall stood up abruptly, fell to their knees and cried, "Your Majesty, you can't—" The gray-haired Qianlong trembled all over, "How can the king of a country be so poor? Please take back your life, and Qianlong is willing to donate a thousand pieces of gold!" "Zuo Shu's elder Yingqian is willing to donate three hundred gold and pass on the Chiyou Tianyue Sword to his family!" "Changshi Gongsun Jia offered three hundred gold!" "Liyang Order Zi'an donates five hundred gold, plus the family heirloom Lei Zu soft armor!" "Chinese doctor Du Zhi donated three hundred gold!" Jing Jian cried loudly, "Your Majesty, Jing Jian only has five hundred dollars." Qin Xiaogong stood quietly in the hall without a single tear.He once again bowed deeply to the kneeling ministers, "So, Ying Quliang thanked you all. Sir, please rise up, please rise up, everyone." When the ministers sighed and stood up, he calmly ordered to the hall door: " Uncle Hei, within today, a special treasury will be set up to accept donations from ministers." Uncle Hei promised and walked away quickly.Qin Xiaogong looked around the hall and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be sad. Money is the fire of the world. If you don't bring it with you when you die, you don't take it with you when you die. It is a priceless treasure if you use it properly. If you don't use it properly, copper stinks like dung. The king of the country, there is no exception. If the state of Qin is prosperous and strong, Ying Quliang will repay you ten times. Gongsun Changshi, please write down Ying Quliang's promise today." Gongsun Jia cupped his hands and said solemnly: "As ordered, I will be transferred to the Taishi, and the engraved slips will be kept." "Who do you think is worthy of being a secret envoy?" Qin Xiaogong restrained his smile and changed the subject. Qian Long said with emotion: "This strategy is planned by General Jing Jian. The general will surely succeed. You should use Jing Jian as your envoy." "Yingqian also agrees with Jing Jian as the special envoy." Zuo Shuchang Yingqian immediately supported it. "We agree." Gongsun Jia, Zi'an, and Du Zhi expressed their opinions in unison. Qin Xiaogong nodded, as if he was not surprised by the unexpected unanimity of the ministers.He looked at Jing Jian, "What do Jing Jian think?" Jing Jian bowed and replied solemnly: "Join old Qin, and go to the national calamity together." Qin Xiaogong watched Jing Jian silently, tears suddenly filled his eyes.
