Chapter 258 The secret message arrives in Xianyang, Ying Zhengs order
Xianyang, Qin State.
In the Xianyang Palace, all civil and military officials were attending the morning court day after day.
Bai Yu was now wearing official uniform and standing in the ranks of generals.
Mao Jiao and Hu Quan were among the ranks of civil servants.
While everyone was listening to the discussion, a guard guarding the palace gate hurriedly entered the hall.
This sudden scene caused the three elderly officials who were standing in the main hall to report to Ying Zheng to stop talking and look sideways at the guard.
"Report, Your Majesty, there is a secret message from Zuo Shu Chang Bai Yan!"
Just when all the civil and military officials were confused, the guard's words made many people look at each other.
"Bai Yan?"
"Isn't Bai Yan in Yanyu? Is there another war?"
"Could it be the food and baggage?"
In the main hall, the voice of a famous civil and military official was heard discussing.
Although Bai Yan is the last of the generals and has the lowest rank among the generals, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Bai Yan is now deeply favored by the king.
Although his status in the heart of the king cannot be said to be on par with Meng's, it is still lost to the number of Bai's and Meng's officials.
"That boy!"
When Bai Yu heard that it was Bai Yan's secret message, he couldn't help but cheer up. Now that Bai Yan was a descendant of his Bai family, he naturally had to care.
I just don’t know what the message is in that secret message!
Think of this.
From the corner of his eye, Bai Yu glanced calmly at the prime minister at the forefront of the civil service, Lord Changping!
the other side.
Different from Hu Quan on the side,
When Mao Jiao heard Bai Yan's secret message, he remembered the Bai Yan he had met before, but it was different from before. When he thought of Bai Yan, the first thing he thought of was Bai Yu and Hu Quan of the Bai family.
And now.
Hearing the young Bai Yan again, I remembered Bai Yan's appearance.
What suddenly appeared in his mind were the young man mentioned by the villagers in Qi State and the old woman in the dilapidated alley.
"Send it up!"
Accompanied by Ying Zheng's voice in the main hall.
Mao Jiao saw that a eunuch had already arrived in front of the guard, holding the bamboo slips in both hands, and walked towards the main hall.
In the main hall.
Ying Zheng, dressed in black, took the bamboo slip from the eunuch and slowly opened it.
After seeing the contents, Ying Zheng looked extremely serious.
After a while.
Ying Zheng put away the bamboo slips and put them aside. He glanced at the civil and military officials under the Grand Highness and asked the ministers just now to continue the discussion.
See the situation.
Although the civil and military officials of His Highness were curious, they did not dare to ask.
Until after the next court session.
All civil and military officials left one after another, leaving Yao Jia alone.
Li Si, Wei Liao, Wei Zhuang and others outside the main hall saw this scene and looked at each other with some confusion.
After all, if news comes from the front line, the king will definitely call them to discuss matters.
Why is it that only Yao Jia is allowed to go now?
Could it be that Bai Yan's news is not about the war?
Along with the doubts of many ministers, Lord Changping in the distance also frowned slightly.
"Prime Minister, today"
At this time, Bai Yu saw Lord Changping, stepped forward with a smile, and bowed his hands in greeting to Lord Changping.
Mr. Changping also smiled and raised his hand in return.
Next, Bai Yu and Lord Changping walked towards the outside of the palace.
That's why.
If Li Si, Wei Zhuang and others discussed it, Changping Jun would have no chance to participate.
the other side.
In the study room of the palace, with the arrival of Yao Jia, Ying Zheng, who was standing by the window, turned around and handed the bamboo slips to Yao Jia under Yao Jia's gaze.
Seeing this, Yao Jia raised his hands and saluted Ying Zheng. Then he took the bamboo slips with both hands and opened them to read.
"Wonderful!"
After reading the content, Yao Jia looked surprised and then looked at Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, if what General Bai Yan said is true, this trip will indeed have the opportunity to alienate Young Master Jia and win over Guo Kai!"
Yao Jia said.
In his letter, Bai Yan briefly wrote down the details of Handan on bamboo slips, including Gongzijia's private raising of food and his disagreement with Guo Kai.
As for the 30,000 shi of grain and millet proposed by Bai Yan in the bamboo slips, this could easily be obtained from Qin's inventory.
"Yao Shangqing joins Zhao, what are his plans?"
Ying Zheng heard what Yao Jia said and asked.
Ying Zheng had never thought before that the situation in Handan of Zhao State had reached such a point, and the disagreement between Gongzi Jia and Guo Kai would definitely exacerbate the disintegration of Zhao State's court.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Your Majesty, General Bai Yan has already stated his plan in the bamboo slips, and it is the best strategy. First, win over Guo Kai, let Zhao Qian remove Li Mu's military power, and then let Guo Kai get rid of Li Mu. At that time, he will alienate Gongzi Jia and Zhao Guo.
Breakable!"
Yao Jia said with a smile and cupped his hands.
On the surface, Bai Yan did not reveal his plans on the bamboo slips, but the 30,000 grains and grains had revealed Bai Yan's thoughts.
Although it is not known where Zhao Jia got such a large amount of food and grass, Zhao Jia, who has so much food and grass, as long as he keeps more food and grass for a longer period of time, the greater the chance of estrangement.
It would be best if Zhao Jia would send these grains and grass to Daidi and Yanmen.
When the time comes to alienate Guo Kai, you are sure of success!
"Broken Zhao."
Ying Zheng murmured softly, turned around and thought for a moment, then looked at Yao Jia.
"Then I'll trouble Yao Shangqing to make a trip to the Kingdom of Zhao!"
Ying Zheng said.
Hearing this, Yao Jia raised his hands, accepted the order, put down the bamboo slips and turned around to leave.
Ying Zheng looked at Yao Jia's leaving figure, turned around, and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Inside Bai Yan’s bamboo slips.
Ying Zheng also noticed the news revealed by Bai Yan, which was that there were many forces helping Gongzi Jia in Handan, Zhao State, just like they did in Yingchuan County.
"So many people in the world are against Qin and the few people!"
Ying Zheng murmured melancholy.
The Qin State had just destroyed a small South Korea, and now it had so many forces that it could not only trap the Qin army in Yingchuan, but also secretly rush to the aid of the Zhao State.
Think of this.
Ying Zheng could already vaguely see in his mind the situation that Qin would face in the future.
"Come here, give me my order and summon Mao Jiao to the study!"
Ying Zheng turned around and said.
After saying that, the sound of the eunuch's footsteps disappearing after receiving the order, and Ying Zheng stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.
The road to unification of the world is destined to not be smooth and smooth.
for a long time.
Ying Zheng's eyes gradually became firmer.
"Zhao Wei, Yan, Chu Qi, we must be destroyed! In this world, we must be peaceful!"
Ying Zheng murmured and turned around: "The world should belong to Qin!"
After saying that, Ying Zheng came to the study room, next to the huge layout spread out on the ground.
Look at Qin’s current military deployment above.
Ying Zheng finally made up his mind.
If there is no lesson learned from the past, then it is up to the Qin State to break in. Everyone in the world is against the Qin State, so let's see if those remnants can stop the Qin State's iron cavalry and shake it to win the government.
An hour later.
When Mao Jiao came to the palace study, Ying Zheng was already in the study, reviewing the bamboo slips.
"Wei minister pays homage to the king!"
Mao Jiao came to the study and bowed his hands in front of Ying Zheng.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he signaled to Mao Jiao that there was no need to be too polite.
Just when Mao Jiao didn't know what Ying Zheng had called him to do, Ying Zheng's words stunned Mao Jiao.
"Mao Shangqing, I would like to know who is the person with the best character among all the gentlemen in Shangqing's heart?"
Ying Zheng asked.
Ying Zheng's words made Mao Jiao's eyes look solemn. He was very sensitive and rigorous about the matter of the crown prince.
There are now more than ten sons of Qin among the descendants of Ying Zheng. The eldest is the master Fusu, and the youngest is the master Hu Hai who was born just last year.
Think about it over and over again.
Mao Jiao didn't hide it in the end.
"Back to the king, among the many young masters now, excluding those who are mentally immature, Fusu, the eldest young master, is undoubtedly the one with the best character."
Mao Jiao cupped his hands and said, although Young Master Fu Su has the blood of Chu family, there are also Chu family forces standing behind him.
But now Mao Jiao still chooses to tell the truth.
If he had been secretive, he would not have risked his life in the first place and continued to remonstrate after twenty-seven ministers died.
"Fusu!"
Ying Zheng was not surprised when he heard Mao Jiao's answer.
"Back to the king, although Young Master Fusu is young, he still behaves well in his words and deeds."
In the study, Mao Jiao told Ying Zheng the advantages of Fu Su.
In fact, this is not a secret matter. I don’t know how many officials have advised Yingzheng to establish a eldest son after he was established. The advantages of Fusu have also been mentioned countless times, but Yingzheng has not agreed.
Everyone is spreading rumors that Yingzheng doesn't like Fusu's weak character and his admiration for Confucianism.
"Mao Shangqing is willing to work with Qi Shao to become Fu Su's master!"
Ying Zheng looked at Mao Jiao and said.
Ying Zheng’s words.
Mao Jiao looked completely surprised, but then he came to his senses and quickly bowed his hands to Ying Zheng to salute.
"Mao Jiao is lucky to be able to teach the young master!"
Mao Jiao raised his hands and said.
Facing Ying Zheng's inquiry at this moment, Mao Jiao did not find an excuse to refuse, although Mao Jiao did not understand that when the young master Fusu had a young master, he still wanted him to be the young master's tutor.
"Okay, Aiqing, please step aside first!"
After Ying Zheng saw Mao Jiao accepting it, he lowered his head and continued to look at the bamboo slips.
As an old minister of the Qin State, Mao Jiao naturally knew that Ying Zheng had the habit of reviewing two stone and bamboo slips every day, so he stopped staying and left.
After a while.
In the study, apart from the hundreds of glowing lights and the eunuchs waiting in the corridor, there was only Ying Zheng alone in front of the wooden seat, looking at the bamboo slips.
After putting down the bamboo slips.
Ying Zheng looked at the empty study room with no one around.
The rule of law in the world, and the control of Korea just now, has caused so much resistance. In the future, he and Qin will face the forces of the entire world.
There is no lesson learned from the past.
"Fusu!"
Thinking of his eldest son who admired Confucianism, although Ying Zheng had no expression on his face, there was a hint of kindness in his eyes.
Only when there was no one around could Ying Zheng dare to show such an expression.
In the eyes of outsiders, he has always disliked his eldest son, but only he knew clearly that his eldest son Fusu was the last chance of survival he left for Qin.
Whether on the road to destroying the Six Kingdoms or one day after destroying the Six Kingdoms, this world is destined to be unstable, doomed to be full of crises, and doomed to have many things to do.
If he fails to govern the world according to law, then the people of the world will only target him for Yingzheng, and will only criticize him for Yingzheng. Fusu, who advocates Confucianism, will be respected by the world, and Qin will still have a chance.
The Meng clan, who was close to the Chu clan, was a powerful force on the surface.
And secretly, Bai Yan, who was originally the son of a commoner in Qi State and is now the eldest son of Zuo Shu, is the one he left to his eldest son, Fusu, to rely on.
I really like what a historical guru said. Whether it is recorded in historical records or other sources, Fusu was assigned to supervise the army, to supervise Meng Tian, not to be imprisoned.
Regardless of the history of Zhao State or the situation at that time, the prince and military power were the most sensitive matters. However, Ying Zheng asked Fu Su to go north to monitor Meng Tian. Meng Tian, who had never been monitored before, needed to be monitored?
The boss asked me to think from another angle. I feel that many things can be explained. There were so many assassinations but the murderer was not caught. It is impossible for Ying Zheng not to feel the situation in the world.
